Chapter 3: The Strange River
When the little girl in her arms heard what Ding Xiaolan said, her body trembled, but instead of relaxing, she trembled and hugged her neck tightly with both hands.
The little girl who followed behind was too, and she grabbed her hand hard, I don't know if it was because of the sweaty palms, and the little hands were very cold, and I didn't feel a trace of warmth.
Ding Xiaolan also clenched her slightly trembling little hand, wanting to warm her little hand with the heat in her hand.
In order to alleviate their tension, Ding Xiaolan pretended to comfort them easily:
"Don't be afraid, close your eyes, close them, you will be able to go home soon, my sister will protect you all the way home! My sister is amazing! When my sister was studying, not even many of the male classmates in the class could beat me. They were all knocked down by me, and they were crying. ”
"Big sister, is it true?" Because of her young age and simple mind, the little girl in her arms was easily diverted by Ding Xiaolan.
"Of course, big sisters never lie. Big sister is very powerful! You believe me, seeing my sister grow so tall, she has a lot of strength. ”
Looking at her big sparkling eyes, Ding Xiaolan gave her a sweet smile.
"Well, I believe it!"
The little girl smiled sweetly when I was infected, the little girl's delicate little face, except for being a little whiter, was very cute, and there were two shallow dimples on the round face.
"That's good!"
Ding Xiaolan kissed her white and tender face, and a cold feeling spread across her lips, so cold!
Feeling that her body temperature was so low, would she catch a cold, Ding Xiaolan tightened her hand again and hugged her tightly in her arms, wanting to warm her small body with her body temperature.
I looked at the river in front of me again, I really didn't find anything special, the water was clear, shallow, crystal clear, the sand under the water was golden and bright, and on the reflection of the clear water, it emitted a soft light, like a fine silk cloth, very beautiful.
The river is not very wide, and it can be crossed in about six or seven steps, and I really don't understand why they are so afraid of the river.
Is it the natural timid nature of children? Or is there something else going on?
Alas, headaches! If you don't want to, let's hurry over first and suppress the doubts in your heart. Ding Xiaolan was about to raise her foot. Suddenly, a voice that did not distinguish between male and female, coming out of nowhere, sounded faintly in her ears:
"Let's go! Let's go! Keep going! Remember! Once you've crossed the river, don't look back! Don't look back! ”
"Who!"
Ding Xiaolan's eyes swept to the front and listened intently, wanting to see which direction the voice came from. But the voice was not heard again.
"Who is it? Who's talking? Come out! ”
"You come out for me! Don't play tricks here."
Ding Xiaolan shouted loudly around, but still didn't see anyone, and then listened carefully, it was as quiet as death, except for the heartbeat of "plopping, plopping" because of excitement, but she couldn't hear any sound anymore, but the little girl in her arms was startled by her sudden loud shouting.
The little girl looked at Ding Xiaolan with big eyes and asked timidly:
"Big sister, what's wrong? Yes... Is anyone talking? Why didn't I hear that? ”
"What, there was a guy just now, didn't you hear me?"
Ding Xiaolan was a little incredulous, wouldn't she, could it be that she was not only dazzled but also had auditory hallucinations in her ears?
Ding Xiaolan turned her head to look at the little girl behind her who was holding her hand and asked:
"What about you? Did you hear that? ”
She shook her head slightly, too.
Is it really my own auditory hallucinations? This is too evil, that voice is very clear, as if someone is in the ear, talking to her, and it feels like it is coming from far away, and I can't tell whether it is a male voice or a female voice.
Ding Xiaolan listened quietly for a while, but was still silent. I took a deep breath and said that I would like to walk over first.
Pulling the little girl behind me, I slowly walked into the water step by step, and a cold feeling surrounded my feet, it was already July, and the weather was very hot. But standing in such cold water, there is a chill in the heart.
However, Ding Xiaolan did not stop, she walked over and walked ashore in three steps and two steps, and nothing terrible happened on the way, it was really just a small river.
Maybe it's really just the fear in my heart.
The corners of Ding Xiaolan's mouth raised slightly, her heart was relieved, and she turned her head to see if the little girl who was a step or two slower than them came over.
However, the moment she turned around, Ding Xiaolan's eyes widened with fright from the scene in front of her, where was there any crystal clear little shallow river behind her.
A deep bottomless river suddenly appeared behind him, the water on the river surface was like boiling water boiling in a pot, the waves were turbulent, Ding Xiaolan was no matter how calm she was, she was also startled by the scene in front of her, and the strength in her hand was subconsciously loosened, and the little girl who was about to come ashore was unstable and fell back into the river.
At this time, I saw that the turbulent river was even more terrifying, like a demon's bloody mouth, trying to devour the little girl, desperately pulling into the water.
The little girl looked at Ding Xiaolan in disbelief, and shouted at her while desperately slapping the water with both hands:
"Sister, help! Help me, quick... Save... I! ”
The little girl spoke, and her crisp voice was very good.
Ding Xiaolan immediately came back to her senses! Don't dare to think about it!
Hurriedly put down the little girl in his arms, and reached out to catch the little girl's hand, but unfortunately it was a little far, and he couldn't hook it after trying several times.
Seeing the little girl's fluttering hands, the slower and slower she scribbled, and her body became heavier and heavier, as if she couldn't hold on anymore.
Ding Xiaolan hurriedly pulled the long aquatic grass by the river with one hand, jumped into the river with both feet, and wanted to catch the little girl's hand with the other, because her hands were desperately rowing, and it took a few times to finally catch her again
"Sister, don't be afraid, there is a sister! Sister save you! ”
Ding Xiaolan pulled hard and pulled her directly into her arms. Hold her little body tightly.
Almost, just little, the little girl was about to sink to the bottom of the sea.
In the next moment, Ding Xiaolan found that something strange had happened again, it was still boiling and rolling, and the rough river suddenly became quiet again, and it became the shallow river with crystal clear bottom, as if the rough waves just now were just a dream.
Hell yes!
She really couldn't believe that such a thing really happened in front of her eyes, which couldn't be explained clearly by common sense at all.
Don't dare to think about it anymore. took the little girl's hand, hurriedly went ashore, calmed down a few heartbeats, and turned around again to see that it was the turbulent and terrifying river again. Ding Xiaolan was so frightened that she grabbed one in one hand, and pulled them to quickly take a few steps back, away from the dangerous river.
"Let's go, let's go!"
Without further thought, this place was too terrible, and he pulled the two little girls and quickly climbed onto the side of the road.
What the hell is going on, is it just an illusion just now, and only when you stand in the water will the illusion disappear?
There is no way to explain this with common sense, where in this world is there such a place, what kind of place am I in! Ding Xiaolan's head was about to explode when she thought about it.
By the way, didn't a voice just now say that you can't look back since you cross the river? Isn't that my auditory hallucination? Is there really a person who knows what the mystery is in?
Ding Xiaolan looked around carefully again, but there was still no figure, and there was no sound of wind and grass. No, she had a gut feeling that someone was watching them in the dark.
But where exactly is he hiding? Why don't you show up?? Friend or foe.?
