Chapter 29: Back
The acacia flower desert is yellow to people, and the pursuit of the wandering here has been deserted.
This is how Erhei Fu felt when he opened his eyes.
At this moment, Erhei is standing under a big locust tree, which is the old locust tree at the east entrance of Daqizi Village, Yunzhong County, where he and his little sister met when they went to Aquarius Mountain.
Erhei rubbed his eyes, and the old locust tree swaggered in the wind, making a rustling sound. Erhei saw from a distance that the village looked very desolate, a little like when he left, and a little different.
Seeing this village, Erhei couldn't help but think of the scene when Xiaomei called it "Pig Kidney Village".
Strange, why did you come back to the village in a daze? Erhei hurriedly looked around, but there was no trace of the little sister.
"Little sister...... Little sister, where are you? Little sister......" Erhei called quietly, and there was no sound at the entrance of the village except for the large locust leaves rustling in the wind.
How could he not see the little sister? Just now, it was clearly still there, and he still remembered the appearance of the little sister when she carried him, just like a man. But where will she go after such a while?
Erhei looked down at himself, and suddenly thought: By the way, the risk? The risk that the little sister said! Standing here intact, is it not that he is at risk, but that the little sister?
But then he denied this idea, with Xiaomei's ability, if she didn't want to stay, then she would definitely be able to come out.
Erhei sighed slightly, now that the little sister is not here, he can't find any other place to go except this village.
I don't know if the previous incident is over, he didn't dare to go back rashly, so he had to hide outside the village, and only slipped home in the middle of the night.
The night was dark.
When he was halfway there, Erhei suddenly heard some sounds of Suosuo, which seemed to come from the lotus pond on the side of the road. Could it be that there is someone over there? Erhei instinctively wanted to avoid it, but vaguely saw a piece of clothing hanging in the grass by the lotus pond. Although it was the middle of the night, he could see very clearly that it was indeed a dress, a dress that was not very shabby.
Who left their clothes here?
Erhei looked around carefully, leaned over carefully, took the dress and looked at it, there was not a single patch, it was still half-new!
Erhei was puzzled and quietly put his clothes back in their place. Just as he turned to leave, he realized that something seemed wrong.
He heard some voices, louder than he had heard before. The voice came from inside the lotus pond.
"Save ...... Help......" The voice was mixed with the sound of water, a little faint, but you could hear it, it was a cry for help.
Is it a water ghost? or is it ......
A long time ago, Erhei had heard from the old people in the village that this lotus pond had been stored for a long time, and no one dared to touch it, because there were some things in the pond that were not clean......
The moonlit night was hazy, the cold wind was cold, and Erhei couldn't help but shiver.
He hurriedly pulled his legs and ran, as if there were sharp claws behind him scratching his back desperately.
"Help......" The voice kept ringing behind him, and it sounded in his heart.
What if, it's not a water ghost, it's really a human being?
Erhei slowly stopped, he hesitated for a long time, and then he carefully stretched his neck and glanced into the lotus pond, the moonlight was dim, and the water surface was glowing in this dim moonlight. He didn't see it very clearly.
Erhei's eyes stared at the lotus pond, and he took a deep breath, and then he became bold again, and took two steps forward to watch carefully for a while. Upon closer inspection, I noticed that there was a figure in the water that was constantly fluttering.
The water reflected the sky, and the sound of water was in an uproar.
Erhei saw that the water in the lotus pond had reached the top of the man's head, and only a pair of hands were still sleeping and struggling outside.
Erhei sighed in his heart: This person is bold enough, in such a dark day, he actually has the heart to run to such a place to swim!
Wait, someone fell overboard? Erhei's heart chuckled. Someone overboard!
What should I do? To save or not to save? Erhei's heart struggled.
What if there is a water ghost in the water? If there is a water ghost, maybe he will save that person, but he will take himself! But if he doesn't...... Erhei finally couldn't bear it.
Seeing that the man's thrashing strength was getting smaller and smaller, if he delayed for a while, maybe even the hand struggling on the water would sink together. couldn't care less, Er Hei hurriedly found a bamboo pole and stretched it out towards the man.
Fortunately, this lotus pond is not very big, Erhei stretched out the bamboo pole in front of the man, and the hand that was still exposed on the water touched the bamboo pole, as if he had grabbed a life-saving straw, and he didn't let go if he clenched it tightly, and Rao Erhei desperately grabbed a big tree on the shore and was almost dragged down by him!
Erhei exhaled softly, thinking to himself: Fortunately, I was prepared, otherwise I would have been dragged into the pond by you!
Erhei's feet squeezed at the ground through the thin rubber soles that had been soaked in the water, and he grabbed the big tree with one hand and the bamboo pole with the other.
The man was dripping with water all over his body, and when he came up, he lay on the ground like a corpse, and it took a long time to recover his strength, and he kept coughing. Erhei sat next to him and wrung the wet liberation shoes and trouser legs that he took off from his feet and said, "No matter who you are, I can be regarded as saving your life, you can't go to the commune to report me." ”
When the man heard Erhei's words, his whole body suddenly trembled, and even the coughing sound was stuck in his throat, and the surroundings suddenly fell silent. Erhei squinted at the man, seeing that this person shouldn't have much strength in his current situation, right?
Thinking so, he hurriedly put on his wet shoes and prepared to run. But I heard the man suddenly turn his head and call out in a trembling voice: "Erhei......"
This "Erhei" screamed so that Erhei trembled, and the muscles of his whole body tensed up in an instant.
The voice...... So familiar!
This is an acquaintance!
However, after going through a lot of things, the current Erhei is much calmer than before. He gathered his nerve and looked at the man.
"Erhei ......" is another light call.
Erhei looked at the man carefully, and the man's face was raised against the moonlight. I saw that his skin was dry and dark, his body was extremely thin, his eyes were cloudy and dark, and his whole body was covered with water, and the droplets fell to the ground, like a water ghost who had just climbed out of the water.
