The rain soaked his clothes, but he didn't feel anything.

Since coming to this world, he was alone for the first time, and he felt a deliberately suppressed loneliness and helplessness constantly rising from his heart, and a sad emotion arose.

He has been pushed forward, seen as a trustworthy leader, and needs to be strong and calm in the face of difficulties. But he was only a twelve-year-old boy, and he should have been in a warm home and enjoyed the care of his family, but...

He didn't dare to think about it anymore, and quietly looked at the hazy distance in the rain, where was his way home.

Something suddenly flowed down his eyes unconsciously, and he wiped it lightly with a wry smile. Suddenly, he felt the urge to jump off the wooden wall and be completely freed.

Suddenly, the rain disappeared and someone grabbed his arm. He looked up and found an oil-paper umbrella blocking him, and when he turned around, he saw an anxious Li Yichen looking at him nervously.

"Senior, what's wrong with you? You...... Don't scare me, okay! Li Yichen said with a slight cry.

"Yichen, I'm fine, but I'm suddenly confused!" Zhang Xiaohu said: "I don't know if we can go back, this strange place makes me less and less confident." ”

"Senior, didn't you promise me that you would go on together!"

"But I can't hold on! Yichen, I... I feel like I'm going to collapse, you trust me so much, but... But I still don't have a clue to bring you back! Zhang Xiaohu didn't know why he suddenly lost the courage to persevere.

Li Yichen looked at Zhang Xiaohu nervously, and suddenly found that there was a colorful insect on his neck, which was a bit weird. She reached out and took the little worm and asked, "Senior, don't scare me, you have always been very strong and brave!" It's also the belief that you've always given us to stick to, how could you suddenly think like that! ”

The moment Zhang Xiaohu took down the flying insect in Yichen, he suddenly felt a sense of empowerment in his heart, he took a deep breath, and he wondered what happened to him just now.

"Senior, are you feeling better?" Li Yichen found that Zhang Xiaohu's expression was changing little by little, and the hazy face just now seemed to have returned to its previous indomitable, strong and brave appearance.

"What happened to me just now, Yichen!" Zhang Xiaohu had a feeling of waking up from a big dream. How did he get back to this wooden wall, and how did all those negative emotions appear.

"Senior, you have a little red envelope around your neck. Let's go down, it's too dangerous on this. Li Yichen pulled Zhang Xiaohu and walked back to the wooden house of several people quickly.

"Lao Zhang, what's wrong with you, why did you make yourself so embarrassed!" As soon as he walked into the wooden house, Zhao Zixuan saw Zhang Xiaohu who was wet.

"Little baby, go and change your clothes, don't suffer the cold! With such a heavy rain, it's not good for my uncle to find medicine for you! Yan Cannon also blamed Huai.

"Boy, how weird are you!" King Peter also found out that something was wrong.

Zhang Xiaohu looked around at everyone and showed a heartfelt smile. Oh, yes! He has so many trustworthy companions, what problems can't be overcome, as long as there is hope, they will definitely find a way back.

When Li Yichen saw everyone, he cried and said, "You don't know, just now... Just now the senior was standing on the wooden wall of the village, his eyes were empty, I really... I'm really afraid that the senior will have an accident! ”

"Damn, Lao Zhang, what do you want!" When Zhao Zixuan heard this, he stepped forward and punched Zhang Xiaohu in the chest.

"Little baby, don't you dare to think about it!" Yan Cannon pulled Zhang Xiaohu in front of him and reprimanded: "Didn't you tell your uncle that you wanted to take your uncle back, how can you think nonsense." ”

While talking, Master Wang heard the quarrel of several people outside, and also walked out of the house, he saw that several people were in a little abnormal mood, so he asked: "What's the matter, everyone has a straight face, what happened?" ”

Zhang Xiaohu suddenly thought of something, he looked at Li Yichen and asked, "Yichen, is that bug still there?" ”

Li Yichen thought about it, opened the palm of his hand, and several people saw a colorful flying insect the size of a grain of rice, which had been crushed to death by Yichen.

"Huh! I think I've seen this bug! Master Wang took the worm, put it in the palm of his hand, and wondered.

"Give it to me, I'll see!" King Peter took the worm, looked at it for a while, and wondered, "I haven't seen this bug, is it a new species?" ”

"I believe..."Zhang Xiaohu said, "I was bitten by this insect just now, and I made a strange move, and Master Wang also had an impression of it, indicating that he had also encountered this kind of insect before." ”

"Then why am I okay?" Yichen asked.

"It should have been injected into this kid's body with some kind of neurohallucinogen, and now that it's dead, it's naturally not harmful to you." King Peter analyzed: "Give me the bug, I'll study it later, maybe we'll encounter it again in the future." He carefully placed the bug in a box.

"Senior!" Li Yichen burst into tears and smiled: "If it's the problem of this bug, then it's no problem, as long as it's not your own idea, I'll rest assured." ”

Zhang Xiaohu stretched out his finger, scraped Li Yichen's nose, and said with a smile: "Don't worry!" Silly girl, your senior won't be cranky, with you by my side, I dare to break into the Longtan Tiger's Den! ”

"Haha! The little doll has spirit, and the uncle likes it! Yan Cannon also laughed happily.

Seeing that everyone had arrived, Zhang Xiaohu said, "Everyone, this matter is over, we have to discuss the next things." ”

He told everyone about He Yichen's discovery.

"You're saying that this is probably the place we're looking for in the middle of the lake?" King Peter asked anxiously.

"Chances are, I've made a lot of new discoveries lately." Zhang Xiaohu explained the connection between the fishing day and the heavy rain, as well as the mysterious cracks in the ice room, and the changes in the fish in the lake, one by one, emphasizing: "There must be some secret next to the bottom of the lake, and it is likely that the marked place caused this series of changes." ”

"So what are you waiting for! Let's start preparing now, and go to the lake as soon as possible! Yan Cannon said hurriedly.

"No! No way! Master Wang stopped, "There is an unwritten rule in Nanmu Village, when it rains, you must not go to the lake. When I first arrived, the villagers and elders had warned me more than once. ”

"That's what I mean!" Zhang Xiaohu said: "The rain outside is too heavy, we don't have to rush in these days, if we rush to the lake, who knows what will happen, we still put safety first." ”

Next, everyone divided the labor, and Li Yichen and Zhang Xiaohu were responsible for collecting information in the village during the rainy days, especially when it came to the adjacent lake. Yan Cannon and Master Wang were responsible for preparing the ships and possible items, while Zhao Zixuan and King Peter collected food and weapons to make all preparations for the next operation.

The heavy rain lasted for seven days, and the water of the adjacent lake was almost under the wooden wall of Nanmu Village.

Regarding the story of the neighboring lake, Zhang Xiaohu and Li Yichen asked for some news after several days of continuous conversations with the villagers, and the most concerned by several people was a legend. "There is a lake god in this lake, who will eat those who wantonly destroy the lake." And it is rumored that someone has seen huge ripples on the surface of the lake on the shore of the lake, as well as the light of the night. There are a lot of such mysterious stories, and the content can't help but be similar, and a few people don't pay much attention to it, because all lakes will have some bizarre water monster rumors.

Early that morning, several people sat in wooden boats and began to measure the neighboring lake.

Due to the rain that has been pouring in for many days, the water in the adjacent lake is very muddy, and there are many weeds and leaves floating in it. There is also a fishy smell on the surface of the lake.
