Spring seems to have come very early this year.

It's just February, and it's already a scene full of spring.

On this trail in the mountains, old trees have sprouted new shoots, and young grass has emerged from black mud.

A few teenagers came all the way to the scene.

They walked to the riverside with fishing nets in their hands.

The river fish in early spring is the most delicious, which is a gift from nature.

A somewhat thin teenager took off his clothes and wore only a pair of shorts and walked to the river.

He gently stretched his feet into the river water, and suddenly his whole body was like an electric shock.

"Dog, can you do it?"

"If it doesn't work, just change me?"

"That's it, don't be pushy."

Companions in the rear were laughing.

The young man said angrily: "Who said I can't? I'm going to go down and catch the first fish of the year for you today! ”

He squatted down, wet the river water with his hands and slapped it on his chest, then did a few warm-up movements on the shore, and finally lifted the fishing net and jumped into the river with a bang.

"Oh!"

Companions cheered and applauded on the shore.

Splashes of water on their cheerful faces.

The boy plunged headlong into the water and disappeared.

Ten seconds passed.

The companions on the shore have not stopped applauding.

Twenty seconds passed.

The companions on the shore praised the young man for his breath-holding skills.

Thirty seconds passed.

The companions on the shore began to feel faintly uneasy.

Forty seconds passed.

The companions on the shore could no longer sit still.

"Why hasn't the dog come up yet?"

"Isn't there going to be anything wrong with him?"

"Probably not? How good the water nature of the dog is! ”

"I'm still a little worried, I think I'd better hurry up and call him up."

"Dog! Dogs! Dog ......"

They gathered around the shore and shouted loudly into the river, but there was no Tokyo on the river.

"I'll go down and take a look!"

A short-haired boy quickly took off his clothes, and without even warming up, he couldn't wait to jump into the river.

In less than fifteen seconds, the short-haired boy surfaced.

"Quick! Pull me up! ”

His emotions seemed very frightened, and even his voice was crying.

His companion on the shore immediately stretched out his hand and pulled him out of the water.

When he came ashore, he sat curled up on the ground with his back to the river, his arms folded, and his whole body shivering.

His pale face, bruised lips, and panicked eyes looked more than just frozen.

"Where's the dog?"

"See him?"

"You're talking!"

No matter how much his companions pressed him, he refused to say a word.

"Look what that is?"

One of the teenagers pointed to the river in horror.

In the river, a red halo slowly rose, like a ......

"It's blood!"

The teenagers were so frightened that they kept backing away.

Immediately afterwards, a corpse wrapped in a fishing net slowly lifted up in the water, and it was the lean young man who had first descended the river.

His internal organs have been hollowed out.

The belly was packed with dozens of black burbot eels that wriggled like snakes.

……

After returning from Japan, more than half a month has passed in the blink of an eye.

Today is the third day of the Lunar New Year.

Wang Yu spent another year alone.

At ten o'clock in the morning, he got up lazily from the bed, biting his toothbrush while going to the kitchen to boil water and instant noodles.

At this moment, the sound of the door opening was heard.

"What a bold thief! Dare to break into the house in broad daylight! ”

Wang Yu walked to the door quietly, and the moment the door opened, he was ready to go out to capture the thief.

"Ahh What are you doing? ”

"Ning...... Ning Xue! ”

Wang Yu looked at Ning Xue who was carrying a bag outside the door in surprise, and hurriedly put down his two paws.

"Why are you back?"

"What's the matter, are you happy to see me?"

"Where, you should tell me in advance, so that I can clean up the house and see the mess in this house."

Wang Yu said unspeakably as he reached out to help Ning Xue carry her bag.

"My grandfather thought I had done a good job in Jingyang in the past six months, so he asked me to come back and continue to work."

"Really? That's great! ”

Wang Yu was very excited, Jingyang without Ning Xue always seemed to be missing something to him.

"I thought you came back to the capital to look for me at the end of last year."

Ning Xue suddenly looked at Wang Yu complainingly.

Wang Yu didn't dare to look directly at her, and quickly diverted the topic: "You are too dedicated, and you are in a hurry to come back to work on the third day of the Lunar New Year." ”

"I went to work on the sixth day of junior high school, and I rushed back today to accompany you."

"Thank you."

Wang Yu suddenly felt a warmth in his heart.

"By the way, I've got a lot of souvenirs for you."

Ning Xue opened the suitcase: "This is vacuum-packed roast duck, this is ......"

Wang Yu looked at the other party's box, almost half of which were special products for himself, and said with some guilt: "You have prepared so many things for me, but I have not prepared anything for you, even the instant noodles at home, there is only the last pack." ”

Ning Xue smiled bitterly: "Comrade Wang Yu, this is the Chinese New Year, can you not live so tightly, now is not the time to experience the years of revolutionary struggle." ”

She then changed the conversation and said, "Since you feel sorry in your heart, then I'll give you a chance." You accompany me to Nanjiang County to play. ”

Wang Yu's mind turned quickly, and he said in confusion: "Jingyang has seven counties under its jurisdiction, and you still think that there is no such Nanjiang County?" ”

Ning Xue said: "Nanjiang County is not in Jingyang, it is in Dongzhou Province next door. ”

"Why do you have to go to the provinces?" As soon as he heard that he was going to leave the province, Wang Yu was actually reluctant.

"Although Nanjiang County is in other provinces, it is not very far from our Jingyang, as long as you pass Beibi County."

"That's fine." This distance was still within the acceptable range of Wang Yu, but he still couldn't understand, "Why do you have to go there?" Isn't our Jingyang fun? ”

"Because I heard that there is a thousand-year-old tree in Nanjiang County, and it is said that it is very effective, and praying to it can protect the health of my family. When I came home this time, I found that my grandfather's health was not as good as before, so I wanted to pay a visit. ”

Wang Yu listened to Ning Xue's words, and his heart was very touched, he also wanted to ask his parents for peace, they were not young anymore. Although these ten have no effect, after all, they are good wishes.

So of course, they agreed to Ning Xue, and after the two had breakfast, they began to drive to Nanjiang County in the neighboring province.

The last time I traveled with Ning Xue was to the seaside in Dingnan County for a vacation.

At that time, Wang Yu had the intention of pleasing the other party throughout the whole process, and he did not enjoy the fun of traveling at all.

What's more, after arriving at the destination, there was also a thrilling horror incident of the beautiful writer.

But this time is different, from the very beginning of getting in the car, Wang Yu felt the beauty of the two people traveling.

Wang Yu drove the car, and Ning Xue sat on the side and watched variety shows on the tablet.

Ning Xue didn't peel off all kinds of snacks and feed Wang Yu.

The atmosphere is very harmonious.

It's just that when the car drove through Beibi County, especially when crossing the bridge, Wang Yu's mood was a little heavy.

Because he remembered the last time he and Zihang Xu Hao came here to look for the night boy, what happened.

At about two o'clock in the afternoon, the two arrived in Nanjiang County.

Although Nanjiang County is adjacent to the wealthy municipality of Jingyang, it is very different from Jingyang, the county seat is very small, there are almost no buildings more than ten floors, and the urban planning is also very poor, it is an ordinary model of a mountainous county.

Although Nanjiang County is small and poor, it is not dirty at all.

The neat streets left an extremely deep impression on Wang Yu.

On the walls on both sides of the street, there are also many slogans of "striving for a civilized county in the province".

Wang Yu parked the SUV in front of a hotel.

Although it is not a hotel, this hotel is too deserted, there is not a single guest inside, and the waiter is weakly playing on the stage.

Ning Xue whispered: "Don't you think it's a little weird, this hotel is very good in terms of location and hygiene, but why is there no business at all, and it's still during the Chinese New Year, it's too strange." ”

Although Wang Yu had the same doubts in his heart, he still smiled and said: "Officer Ningda, now is not the working time, you can put away your suspicions a little, maybe it's just that the time is wrong." ”

After entering the house, before Wang Yu could ask, the waiter sitting at the front desk said casually: "I'm sorry, I don't have anything to eat today." ”

"Are you closed for the New Year's holiday?" Wang Yu asked patiently.

"Are you blind? Aren't we open for business? If it's not open, I'll have fun staying here, right? "I don't know if it's the reason why I have to go to work during the Chinese New Year, this front desk brother's temper is a bit big.

Wang Yu was a little unhappy, how could there be such a service attitude to the guests, just this kind of service attitude is in Jingyang, this store can't be opened for a day.

But during the Chinese New Year, he still endured his temper and asked: "Since it is open, why is there no food to sell?" ”

The waiter turned his head sideways and said with a disdainful expression: "Who stipulates that there must be food to sell as soon as the business is opened?" Do you need to burn coal for cooking? Does burning coal make it smoke, and does smoke pollute the environment? ”

Wang Yu was stunned, where is this? I just want to have a good meal, why do I go so far?

It also talked about environmental protection.

Ning Xue took Wang Yu's hand and walked out: "Let's change the house." ”

"I think there must be something wrong with this boss's brain, since it is open and not doing business, it would be better to simply close the store."

But Wang Yu didn't expect that they would go to a few restaurants next, which was the case.

It's only open, not business.

And when asked about the specific reason, the people in the hotel refused to say it clearly.

The owner of only one said meaningfully: "Are you outsiders? Then I advise you not to wander around the streets, lest you get yourself into trouble, and you will not find that there are very few people on the streets? ”

Not to mention, Wang Yu really found that the streets of Nanjiang County were unusually deserted during the Chinese New Year, and there were very few passers-by, even if there were, most of them were young people who looked like students, and there were very few middle-aged people, and none of the elderly people saw it.

What's even more paradoxical is that almost none of the shops on both sides of the street are closed during the Spring Festival holiday, and all of them are open for business.
