"Three hundred miles to the south, Jingshan, south to the salt sellers, north to Shaoze...... There are birds, its shape is like a snake, and the four wings, six eyes, and three legs, the name is sour and, its song is self-deprecating, and it is fearful when you see it." Is this the reason for the strange things that happened in our county? To be honest, the description in this book is not clear, and it is alarmist at all, but I know that the bird called Sour and is not that simple.

This bird lives on Jingshan Mountain, and is usually born by drinking dew in the morning and evening, and does not appear often, but I have seen this bird since I was a child. In fact, the reason why there will be panic and strange things in the city and countryside after its appearance is that once it leaves the quiet place and approaches the place where the popularity gathers, it changes its temperament and feeds on people's fears, and at the same time changes itself and gives birth to young children. Although they are called "birds", they are not oviparous, but secretly born in the population.

Thinking of this, it seems that the body is cold. I should tell my dad and Sister Wenwen about this, and help them, although my dad has great powers in my eyes, but some strange animals still hide mysteries and will endanger human life, and some records in "Haishan Lu" are not detailed, so I can't let my dad and sister get hurt. While thinking, he walked out of the door, ready to go to the street to find his father's traces.

The family repeatedly mentioned that they were sacrificing recently, in fact, I didn't go much, but I went to see it once with the children when I was a child, it was too small at that time, although they all gathered in the square during the sacrifice, but there was no activity, but everyone was wearing the same clothes, and no one spoke in the huge square, only Wu Zhu was chanting something in the middle of the square, and he was too bored to run out with his friends to play.

Now that I have come to the square again, I feel that the atmosphere is completely different from that of my childhood, and the sacrifice in my memory is solemn, and the adults have closed their eyes and expressionless faces, sometimes raising their heads and sometimes bowing their heads. Now the people who saw the sacrifice in the square felt that the cold air was pressing, because the music felt that everyone participating in the sacrifice was shaking with their heads down, and the voice of the prayer of the witch blessing became uncontrollably loud, with a sense of trembling.

From the periphery of the crowd, I saw a familiar figure, wasn't that the girl I played with when I was a child? I was about to go over and pull her out to ask if I had seen Sister Yueyue and Daddy, the unnatural grit touch of the soles of my shoes led me to lower my head, and there was actually a line on the stone road made of fine sand that shimmered golden in the sun, stretching into the alley next to the cloth shop on the side of the square.

I'm not stupid, and curiosity isn't a reason to take risks. Looking along the sand line, it was obvious that someone had been dragged around the corner!

Something really happened in the county! I asked myself if I was capable of solving such a serious problem, so I had to quietly walk over and grab Lady's arm first.

"Zhang Yue, what are you doing?" Wu Di didn't react from the sacrificial atmosphere for a while, and was already dragged out some distance by me.

I quietly asked, "Auntie, we haven't seen each other for a long time, have you seen my sister and dad today?" ”

"Uncle Zhang Cheng and Sister Zhang Wen? I haven't seen it, I just came out of the house and went directly to the square with my parents to participate in the sacrifice, recently my uncle has been walking around the county a lot, it is possible anywhere, and I heard that Uncle Zhang Cheng has been up the mountain several times in the past few days, I don't know where I am now. ”

"Sister-in-law, the county has not been peaceful recently, you should be careful yourself, don't go out alone often. "I look at the purple and purple fabric of the headdress, and I feel an unusual sense of intimacy, maybe this is a childhood memory, right?

"Thank you for your concern, I can't leave my parents for too long, they said let me participate in the sacrifice with peace of mind, nothing will happen, I have to go back. ”

"Let's go back," I said, letting go of my grip on her, and seeing her turn around, I hurriedly wiped the glistening gold gravel with the sole of my shoe and kicked it into the shadows of the alley, when I caught a glimpse of what seemed to be a purple cloth band around the corner at the end of the alley, and then looked back at the head of Maidi who was standing at the edge of the crowd and bowed her head in prayer, and the bad thought suddenly took over my mind.

When I came back to my senses, the alley was empty. Now is not the time to hesitate, staying at home all the time makes people a lot sluggish, and at this moment I feel that it is not such a simple decision for my father to keep urging me to study. I ran in the direction of Jingshan, and the stone streets with almost no pedestrians along the way made me feel creepy, and I just wanted to find my father and sister as soon as possible, whether it was Sister Yueyue or Daddy or Sister-in-law, I just wanted to keep them safe at this moment.

Fortunately, when I was about to leave the county, I happened to meet my father and Sister Wenwen who came back.

"Dad, I saw that there seemed to be a person dragged away at the corner of the alley next to the square, and a purple cloth belt was left behind, which was very similar to Maiddy's hair ornament! But Maidi also talked to me before I found the ribbon, it shouldn't be her, but this is too dangerous, can you and Sister Wenwen really solve it?"

"What are you talking about suddenly? Didn't your sister and I just come back from the investigation on the mountain, there is nothing to worry about, everything is normal on the mountain, it is not a problem of strange animals, and the rest of the things will probably be handed over to the county government to handle." ”

"No, Dad, there's another thing I want to tell you! I know that once you come into contact with people's settlements, your temperament will change drastically, and you will feed on human fears! Could this have anything to do with the affairs of the county? We can't take it lightly! Haven't you been investigating for a long time, Daddy?"

"It's true that I've been investigating for a long time, but there are really no major problems with your sister going up the mountain a few times, I'll go tell the county government about the rest, and you and Wenwen can go home." ”

Hearing this, Sister Wenwen didn't say a word, and pulled me who was about to say a few words to my father and walked in the direction of home, only to see my father's expressionless face, but I felt a cold sweat from Sister Wenwen's palm.
