The second dog lazily lies on the big stone by the river and basks in the sun, the sun is abundant here, the stone is warm by the sun, and from time to time there is a warm spring breeze blowing on the face of the second dog, and the cow is grazing not far away, which makes the second dog feel very comfortable. Ergou is only 12 years old this year, and he should have been the age to go to school, but because there is no school in the village, and the nearest school is far away, he still has to pay tuition fees to go to school, so Ergou's father thinks that this is not worth it, so it is better to let him stay at home to help with some farm work such as raising chickens and cattle. Ergou himself did not like to read and write, so he did not object to his father's approach and began his leisurely life as a shepherd boy. He spent most of his day leading his cows and calves to the creek near the village, and then he lay down on the big rocks by the river, watching the clouds drift by in the sky, waiting for the sky to slow down. This is a feng shui treasure land that only belongs to Ergou.

It stands to reason that everyone should come to such a good place, but the other shepherd boys don't like it because it is said to be haunted! But Ergou has never met, he doesn't believe in this evil, every time the other friends mention this to him, he will laugh and laugh at them are a group of cowards, and gradually the other children in the village are also alienated from Ergou, Ergou does not care, still come to the river every day to herd cattle. One day, Ergou fell asleep on a stone by the river, and when he woke up, the sun had already set, and it was already dark, and it was time to go back. It was then that he found out that his calf was gone, and if he went home like this, he would have to break his leg! This frightened the second dog, and he tied the old cow to a small tree in the woods by the river and looked for it nearby. But there was no sign of the calf in the vicinity, could it be that the calf was playful and curious and ran into the woods? At that moment, a dark shadow flashed through the woods. It must have been the bunnies who came to me, and hid my calves! Thinking of this, Ergou couldn't help but feel a wave of anger rising from his heart: these boys usually say that this place is haunted and won't let me come here, and they haven't been with me for a few days and are embarrassed to come to me directly, they must want to scare me and let me beg them for mercy and look at my jokes! Thinking of this, the angry Ergou re-entered the woods with a brisk stride, and he had to catch this troublemaker and teach him a good lesson.

The road near the village was originally very familiar to Ergou. But I don't know what happened today, the familiar forest path in the past became strange in the dim sunlight, and a cool breeze blew through Ergou and felt a layer of goosebumps on the back of his neck, and he felt that he had lost his way. Just in the dilemma, the second dog behind the sound of the tree branches on the ground being trampled off, the second dog was a little scared, but he didn't dare to look back, he was afraid that he would see something terrible after turning back, and he was even more afraid of looking at the unknown creature. But on second thought, could it be that they ran out to scare themselves? Thinking of this, Ergou's heart sank, and he turned around sharply to see what was going on behind him.

However, Ergou didn't see anything, maybe I was scaring myself with my delusion! Ergou thought to himself. Suddenly, Ergou noticed that something was wrong. There is a broken branch lying alone in the middle of two trees on the ground, as if it is intended to remind the second dog that something is staring at you! Ergou looked around but still didn't find anything abnormal around, but the feeling of being watched was particularly strong, and the sharp gaze was like a nail nailed to Ergou's body, making Ergou feel unbearable pain. At this time, Ergou smelled a pungent smell, he seemed to remember something, and slowly raised his head, and finally he found that there was a small tree the width of a palm less than a meter behind him, and a head poked out about two meters high on the tree! On his round face there were a few locks of long hair hanging down from his half-bald head, and on his gray face were a pair of round, godless eyes, which were surprisingly large, already larger than normal proportions, as if someone had gouged out the eyes of a cow and put them on the head, and now he was staring straight at Ergou. Ergou panicked all of a sudden, he felt his heart pounding violently, he wanted to shout loudly but his mouth couldn't make a sound anyway, he wanted to run away immediately, but his feet couldn't move as if they were caught. He struggled to get out of here, but his body was like a remote-controlled car that couldn't receive a signal, and it didn't respond, as if it was petrified. With a pop, the second dog fell to the ground, and he instantly realized that he had regained his freedom, so he immediately got up and ran, no longer caring about the old cow and the calf, and ran as if the old cow and calf were flying, and kept running until he ran out of the woods, crossed the river, and ran back to the very center of the village. It is a place for the villagers to rest and recreation after a busy day, and after dinner, adults and children gather here to chat and play. Just when the people were pulling around, they saw the second dog running into the village like crazy, and rushed directly to the center of the village and shouted, "In the woods by the small river in the east of the village!" Haunted in the woods! Then he fell to the ground with a pop and fainted.

In the eyes of the second dog's father, the second dog just ran into the forest and was frightened by his suspicions, which is far less important than the two lost cows, the two discussed and decided, the second dog mother stayed at home to take care of the children, and the second dog father went to the woods to find the two lost cows. But after a night, the second dog father still didn't come back. "He can't have an accident......" The child was so frightened that he didn't wake up, the child's father went out to look for cattle and didn't return all night, the more she thought about it, the more scared she became, so she called her youngest son Goubao to call the village chief who lived next door, and wanted the village chief to bring someone to help find someone. The village chief, who was in his fifties, didn't say a word, smoking a dry tobacco pouch and silently listened to the cry of the second dog girl, until the second dog girl finished saying everything he wanted to say and closed his mouth, he slowly raised his eyes, looked at the second dog girl, and gently agreed, "Well, okay." Then he turned and went out the door. The chief, who was silent but resolute, immediately summoned several men of the village and marched with him to the woods by the river.

Finally, in the afternoon of the same day, the second dog father was carried back by everyone - he was already dead. He died a strange death, suffocating on the edge of the pond, and the water where he fell was so shallow that it didn't reach his ankles. His mouth seemed to be open to the maximum, as if he had seen something terrible before he died and wanted to call for help, and his eyes were slightly open for unknown reasons, this expression was really weird. Some people suspected that he was killed by someone, but immediately some people raised objections - there was no scar on his body, if someone wanted to harm him, the second dog father would definitely not be obediently tied up, not to mention that there was a muddy field between the woods and the pond, and when everyone found the second dog father, there was only a series of footprints. That's obviously the second dog dad stepped on it himself. It was speculated that he must have come out of the woods and staggered to the edge of the pond and collapsed on his own. In this way, the death of Ergou's father cast a shadow on Ergou's family, and also brought new after-dinner conversations to the villagers. As for whether what Ergou saw that day was a hallucination, and if it was true, then what it was, Ergou himself couldn't say clearly.

"Impossible." A hoarse voice came from Chen Erxi's back seat, which frightened Erxi, who was performing wholeheartedly, and also pulled Zou Lianwen, who was deep in thought, out of his thoughts, and the owner of this voice was Zhai Yong, who was sitting in the back row of them. The two of them looked back at Zhai Yong who was talking curiously, hoping to hear what Zhai Yong was going to say next, Zhai Yong saw that the two suddenly turned around, and seemed a little embarrassed, he cleared his throat and continued: "According to common sense, most of these stories of strange spirits are passed on by word of mouth between people, generally speaking, these demons and monsters described in these strange stories will not be too specific, because no one has really seen them, Even if they have actually seen it, it is because the person concerned is in a state of fear and mistakenly thinks something as a ghost to scare himself, and he will not remember it too clearly. And the story you just said, it's too specific to describe that ghost, a child, in the woods where the sun sets, encounters a monster, and he can run back and accurately tell the appearance of that guy, so the truth is - that kid lost the cow nine times out of ten and couldn't find it, and he was afraid that he would be beaten when he went home like this, so he made up this nonsense to fool others. ”

Zou Lianwen scratched his head, he suddenly felt as if he had seen this thin young man somewhere before.

"What are you talking about! That's not the point at all, is it!? Zhang Ying, who was sitting on the side, said, her eyes full of disdain, "Since it is a legend of alien spirits, then there must be ingredients for others to process in the later stage!" And would that teenage rural kid really lie to someone else because he lost a calf? If it was really just a lie, he pretended to be crazy and ran from the woods to the village. Can a teenager's mind really do such a thing? ”

Zhai Yong licked his lips obviously, he couldn't accept his girlfriend's rebuttal and said: "Your idea is also wrong, you can't just subjectively infer that a teenage rural child won't lie, and you can't say that he won't pretend to be crazy and stupid because of this, of course, what I said is not completely correct, I'm just inferring and guessing that it doesn't mean that things must be like this......" Who knew that Zhang Ying couldn't help but see that the two were about to quarrel.

Zou Lianwen and Erxi, who were sitting in the front row, looked at each other blankly, turned around with interest, Shuangxi looked aggrieved, and muttered in a low voice, "Isn't this the point, okay......" and then lowered his head and began to play with his mobile phone. Zou Lianwen breathed a sigh of relief, and finally didn't have to listen to Chen Erxi's nagging anymore. He raised his head and looked around, there were only six passengers in the bus at this time, Wang Leilei was leaning on Li Jing's body and falling asleep, and Li Jing was not there. Zhai Yong and Zhang Ying were still arguing fiercely, but their voices were so small that they couldn't be heard clearly. Zou Lianwen looked down at his watch again, it was very good, and he could get out of the car in more than half an hour. Thinking of this, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, leaned back on the seat, and began to enjoy.
