"Then I'll run. Tang smiled and said, "I also exercise every day, my physical fitness is not so bad, I will run away immediately if the situation is not right, so you are still not at ease?"

"Not assured. Ji Xiaoru continued to shake her head: "You are just too optimistic, you can beat a man by running every day?" It was also reported on the news that a girl who went out for a night run was killed, so the physical fitness of the person may not be good." ”

"What you said also makes sense," Tang Xiao knew that he must not be able to say Ji Xiaoru, so he had to nod and say, "Then let's look for it together?" ”

"It's okay, I can still carry this little thing. Ji Xiaoru waved her hand and said with a big grin.

Tang Xiao couldn't help but look at Ji Xiaoru, thinking to himself, I don't know who complained about too many things and couldn't walk as soon as he entered the community just now.

"Then again, did you really hear a little girl crying?" Ji Xiaoru glanced around, lowered her voice and said, "You see that the people around you don't react, shouldn't you be the only one who hears it?"

"Don't scare me!" Tang Xiao hurriedly said, "Listen carefully, maybe it's because that little girl is relatively close to the two of us, so no one else hears it?"

"Okay. Ji Xiaoru said reluctantly, and pulled her ear with one free hand: "Eh, I really can't hear anything-"

At this moment, the faint cry sounded again.

Ji Xiaoru was stunned for a moment.

Tang Xiao looked at Ji Xiaoru: "Xiaoru, did you hear it too?"

"I hear you. Ji Xiaoru had to nod.

"It seems to be coming from that direction. Tang Xiao stretched out his hand and pointed at Ji Xiaoru's back.

Both looked in that direction.

It was a grove.

There are flowers and grass in the woods, as well as rockeries and ponds.

During the day, there are many people who enjoy the shade or take a walk, but at night, there are basically no people.

First, because there are more mosquitoes in summer, there is water and trees in the grove, so it is strange not to be bitten by all kinds of insects and ants.

Second, according to the chatter of some aunts and aunts in the owner group, several children had drowned in the pond of the grove.

Although the property tried its best to refute the rumors that no children had drowned in it, the older owners said it as if they had seen it with their own eyes.

It was also said that on several occasions when they passed by at night, they heard the cries of drowning children in the grove.

Of course, some people say that it is not the cry of a child, but the cry of a wild cat in heat, but it is not known what the truth is.

Now, the problem that Tang Xiao and Ji Xiaoru need to face is that the two of them must go into the grove.

After all, the little girl's cry came from the grove.

At first, the cry was intermittent and faint, and Tang Xiao was not sure.

Even Ji Xiaoru heard the two voices just now, and she naturally heard them very clearly.

There is no doubt that the cry came from the grove where the child was drowned.

I stared at the grove for more than ten seconds, and saw that the grove looked very dark and gloomy in the darkening night.

Ji Xiaoru rubbed the goosebumps that came out of her arm, trembled and said, "Xiaoxiao, are you sure...... Is that the cry of a little girl?"

Tang Xiao thought for a while and said, "It should be a little girl, that voice doesn't sound like a boy." ”

"Good...... Girl. Ji Xiaoru swallowed nervously and said, "That smile, I'll ask you another question, you listen to it, and then think about it and answer me." ”

"What's the problem? Tang Xiao was amused a little by Ji Xiaoru's trembling appearance.

"That...... Didn't you talk to me before when you talked to me about the fact that someone in this community said that a child had drowned in the grove, so think about it, is the drowned child a boy or a girl?" Ji Xiaoru asked cautiously.

"......" Tang smiled and said silently, "I forgot." ”

Ji Xiaoru's face was full of despair: "......"

"Xiaoru, don't be afraid, we are all a new generation of good young people who grew up under the banner of socialism, we are all proper atheists, besides, you are not afraid of crooked shadows, and you are not afraid of ghosts knocking on the door if you don't do bad things, you can relax, there will definitely not be the kind of thing you think." Tang smiled and said: "Besides, you are not even afraid of bad people, and you volunteered to stay as a flower messenger, are you still afraid of ghosts?"

Ji Xiaoru nodded like garlic and said, "You're right, I'm really afraid." Xiaoxiao, although I don't have any religious beliefs, I think that some things are rather believed than not, and not believing them does not mean that they do not exist...... What if, what if we touch it? This kind of thing is very evil...... I'm not afraid of bad guys, and if there's a bad guy, I'm going to have a big deal to fight with someone, who's afraid of whom? But that thing...... You can't touch it!"

The more Ji Xiaoru spoke, the more frightened she became, and her bright little face turned white with fright.

Before you know it, it's getting dark.

But this night, the moon was only a little bit, like a small water chestnut hanging in a small corner of the sky, and a star like a grain of millet fell next to it.

The sky looked dark and dreary, with no light at all.

The people walking the dog nearby didn't know where they went, and they didn't know when they started, but there were only two people left, Ji Xiaoru and Tang Xiao.

A cool breeze blew slowly, and the goosebumps on Ji Xiaoru's body jumped up.

"My mom, smile, don't you think this moment is really a special ghost movie atmosphere?" Ji Xiaoru said with a trembling voice.

"Hmm...... It's a bit of a deal, to be honest. Tang Xiao nodded and said, "Don't be afraid, Xiaoru, why don't you hold my arm?"

"Go up to a yarn! Can I leave you alone in this situation? This is a situation that is even more terrible than meeting a bad person! I left you alone at this time, am I still human?" Ji Xiaoru said loudly.

Tang Xiao looked at Ji Xiaoru's excited appearance and laughed "poof".

Xiaoru is really stupid, she is obviously scared to death, and she has to accompany her.

Tang Xiao was moved in her heart, reached out and took the initiative to hold Ji Xiaoru's arm, and comforted: "Okay, I know, Xiaoru is the best woman in the world to me." ”

Ji Xiaoru said: "It's good if you know. ”

Just as he was about to say something, the cry came faintly again.

Tang Xiao said worriedly: "I don't know if I'm injured, Xiaoru, we can't delay any longer." ”

Ji Xiaoru sighed again and again: "You, you just have a good heart." ”

Tang Xiao patted Ji Xiaoru's arm and said with a smile: "It's not as good as you." ”

"Do you think it's useful to praise me?" Ji Xiaoru glared at Tang.

"Of course it works. Tang smiled like a flower.

Ji Xiaoru said that she was afraid, but the person still followed Tang Xiao in the direction of the grove.

Tang Xiao knew that Xiaoru was actually worried that there was really a child injured.

The two of them slowly approached the grove, and they didn't know why, but as soon as they entered, they felt a kind of chill.

Ji Xiaoru couldn't help but hold Tang Xiao's arm tighter: "Xiaoxiao, I'm afraid." ”

"Don't be afraid, I'm here. Tang Xiao patted Ji Xiaoru's arm and said.

Ji Xiaoru's whole body shrunk into a ball, and she walked forward very little by relying on Tang Xiao.

Walk through a cobblestone path sandwiched between woods with a small pond in front.

By the pond, there are stone tables and stone benches, which were originally used by people to cool off, but almost no one comes.

The moon peeked out of the clouds, and for a moment, the surrounding light shone a few degrees.

By the moonlight, Tang Xiao vaguely saw a small figure sitting on a stone bench by the pond.

"Xiaoru, have you seen it?" Tang Xiao asked Ji Xiaoru beside him.

Ji Xiaoru rubbed her eyes and said a little hesitantly, "I saw it...... But is that a human or a ghost?"

"Don't talk nonsense, since we both saw it, it must be human. Tang Xiao whispered, "Let's go over and have a look." ”

Ji Xiaoru dragged Tang Xiao suddenly, leaned into Tang Xiao's ear and muttered: "Haven't you watched a ghost movie? The kind of water ghost who drowns in the water usually appears at the water's edge, specifically luring the living, and when the person has passed, drag the living person down......"

"Shhhhh Tang Xiao interrupted Ji Xiaoru, with a serious expression on her beautiful face: "You, don't look at those who have or don't have in the future." ”

"Xiaoxiao, I really think it's weird......" Ji Xiaoru couldn't wait to lie on Tang Xiao's body.

"Don't worry, it'll be fine. Tang Xiao showed a comforting smile to Ji Xiaoru.

The two walked slowly towards the edge of the pond.

The closer he got, the more Tang Xiao felt as if he had seen that little figure somewhere.

The little girl's cries continued.

It was as if she hadn't heard footsteps behind her.

Gradually, Tang Xiao and Ji Xiaoru came to the little girl's side.

Tang Xiao gently put a hand on the little girl's shoulder, bent down and asked softly, "Little friend, what's wrong with you?"

The little girl's crying stopped, and she seemed to look back at Tang Xiao in some surprise.

Under the moonlight, I don't know if Tang Xiao was wrong, but the strange thing is that there seemed to be no tears on the girl's face at all.

What's even stranger is that this little girl is really familiar.

Where have you seen it?

The moon was dim, and she had not been able to confirm the identity of the little girl.

The girl was the first to speak, and said very quickly and quietly, "Why are you?" ”

There seemed to be a hint of disappointment in his tone.

Although her voice was very subtle, Tang Xiao, who was very close to her, could still hear it clearly.

At that moment, she couldn't help but wonder why this little girl would say that?

How are you-

Why can't it be her?

Could it be that this little girl was originally waiting for someone here?

Tang Xiao's heart was full of question marks.
