The summer sun scorched the earth, and there was not a trace of wind.

A group of twelve or thirteen-year-old boys frolicked under the lotus leaves in a lotus pond, and there was a pile of clothes under the willow trees on the shore.

The little boy and the cow did not go into the water because they were not feeling well, but just looked at the clothes under the willow tree, and gathered some dry firewood around them, ready to roast and eat them together after they had caught the fish and snails.

In a short time, the big cow gathered a pile of firewood, and a companion came up from the lotus pond, naked and covered with mud on his feet, holding a bunch of snails and a fish in his hand, and threw them next to the firewood.

The fish is a grass carp weighing more than half a catty, and there are many types of screws, including common snails and several snails with obviously different shapes that cannot be named.

The big cow was about to light the fire and start grilling the fish and screws, but his stomach suddenly began to feel uncomfortable again, and he wanted to poop and pee.

"Ouch, no, my stomach hurts, I'll find a place to soak and pee first, and then come back to help you bake."

The little friends in the lotus pond shouted, "Don't pee in the lotus pond, we are still taking a bath in it, go farther." ”

The big cow walked along the grass path next to the lotus pond into the distance, and after walking for hundreds of meters, there was still a lotus pond around.

The lotus pond in the lotus pond village is a piece, except for the grass path between the lotus ponds, the rest of the place is water, the big cow put his heart horizontally, and began to pee on the lotus pond next to the little friends taking a bath.

With the sound of urine, bright yellow urine entered the water, and when it was almost finished, the yellow urine turned dark red.

The red urine rippled in the water, staining the lotus pond water with a pale red.

The little boy Da Niu was scared when he saw this, didn't he have some terminal illness? Why is there still blood in the urine?

Da Niu decided to run home immediately to tell his parents, and when he was about to go back, suddenly the little friends who were playing in the lotus pond not far behind him began to shout.

"Oh no, Old Man Zhang is here, run!"

Immediately afterwards, the old man shouted, "You bear children came to my lotus pond to bathe and catch fish again, see if I don't break your cheeks, go to your parents......"

Old man Zhang ran over scolding in the distance, and the friends in the lotus pond hurriedly climbed ashore, but they didn't have time to get dressed, and they fled naked carrying the clothes under the tree.

After a while, the friends fled without a trace, leaving only the big cow standing on the bank of the lotus pond helplessly.

Da Niu was just frightened by his own blood and urine, and originally wanted to run home, but now he was frightened again by Old Man Zhang and his friends who fled around, and he couldn't run when he wanted to run, and his stomach turned over and over, and he felt like he was going to be pulled in his trousers.

In a panic and hesitation, Old Man Zhang had already run to the lotus pond, and he couldn't see anyone else, only the little boy Da Niu standing there in a daze.

They are all children from Hetang Village, and Uncle Zhang knows them.

"Big Niu, why are you messing around with those unlucky kids?"

The big cow wanted to explain, but he didn't know what to say, and wanted to escape, when suddenly his feet were unstable and he fell into the lotus pond next door.

This time it was Uncle Zhang's turn to panic, and complained in his heart: This unlucky child, afraid of something, actually fell into the lotus pond.

Uncle Zhang hurriedly jumped off the lotus pond and dragged the little boy out of the cow.

An old man and a young man came out of the lotus pond, covered in mud, and Uncle Zhang also had a lot of aquatic plants on his hands.

"Da Niu, are you alright? I'll yell at you, it's worth your jump into the lotus pond? ”

"I ...... I didn't jump, I accidentally fell. ”

The little boy explained as he tried to stand up, covered in mud, wet clothes, and a foul smell.

Uncle Zhang also smelled the stench, which was not like the smell of silt at the bottom of the lotus pond, but more like a smell of.

Uncle Zhang wanted to wake up his nose, but his hands were full of mud, and he couldn't do it, so he could only complain, "Da Niu, you didn't in my lotus pond just now, did you?" ”

"I didn't ...... Didn't poop, just peed, but now it's pulling, pulling in the leg of the pants. ”

The little boy looked aggrieved, tears rolling in his eyes.

Uncle Zhang looked at the little boy and found that his clothes were wet, his pants were covered with mud, he couldn't tell whether it was mud or feces, and there was a red blood stain on his pants between his legs.

Uncle Zhang asked in surprise: "Are you injured and bleeding?" ”

The little boy looked down and saw that the bloodstain was on the pants that had been stained by the dark red urine from the back when he had urinated just now.

"It's not an injury, it's that I just urinated blood, I don't know what's wrong, I'm going back to my parents......"

The little boy began to cry as he spoke.

Uncle Zhang felt inexplicably scared in his heart, why did the big cow also urinate blood, could it be that urinary stones are also a mass disease? Can it be contagious?

Uncle Zhang waved his hand to the little boy, "Let's go, you go home quickly, let your parents take you to the hospital, remember not to come to the lotus pond to swim and take a bath in the future, next time you come to be careful of being caught by the water ghost." ”

The little boy ran home crying.

As the little boy left, the stench around him did not dissipate, but a breeze blew, and the stench became stronger and stronger.

Uncle Zhang frowned slightly, wondering if there was something wrong with his nose, the smell was not like the smell of, but more like the smell of animals that had been rotten for several days.

Someone couldn't have thrown a dead cat or dog into the lotus pond, right?

Looking up at the lotus pond, except for the dense lotus leaves, you can't see anything else, maybe there is something under the lotus leaves, you have to take a small boat to go in and check it out.

Uncle Zhang looked at the mud all over his body while making plans, if he went back like this, he would be complained by his wife again, so he was ready to go down to the edge of the lotus pond to clean the mud on his body and then go back.

Go down to the lotus pond with your hands and feet, and hold the water with both hands on the water surface exposed in the middle of the lotus leaves, washing off the mud on your trouser legs and arms.

After washing the mud on his body, Uncle Zhang was about to go back, and glanced into the lotus pond again, but found that there was a light black thing under the lotus leaf on the edge of the lotus pond.

Driven by curiosity, Uncle Zhang returned again, found a branch on the shore and flicked it under the lotus leaves, and the black thing slowly floated to the shore.

It's a person!

Black hair, dark T-shirt, half-cut shorts, hands and arms exposed.

The man was face down, the back of his head was facing the sky, and he floated in the lotus pond, rippling with the water.

Because of the immersion in the water, the exposed skin is frighteningly white.

The man in the water had long since lost his life, it was a floating corpse that had been soaked and swollen.

A floating corpse appeared in his lotus pond, and Uncle Zhang was so frightened that he retreated again and again.

Uncle Zhang was so frightened that he almost fell into the lotus pond behind, and after trying to stabilize his mind, he said to himself, "What should I do now?" Yes, call 110 to call the police, call the villagers to come over, I don't know whose unlucky guy drowned in my lotus pond, don't be from our village, it's too miserable......"
