"My mother..."

Zhao Sheng subconsciously turned his head and rushed behind him to look, but found that a figure quickly flashed in front of the door.

Although it was only a hurried glimpse, Zhao Sheng could still be sure that it was the back of his own brother Zhao Guang.

"What is this kid doing? It's scary. ”

As he spoke, Zhao Sheng had already run out of the door out of breath.

He chased the figure in front of him through the layers of dense forests, and it was not until he followed the figure and ran to a small river that he paused in astonishment: "Second brother! What are you doing? Why do you come to the river to swim at night? ”

Zhao Sheng had just entered the water in a daze, and a cold wind blew on his back.

The wind made him shiver, and he suddenly froze him to his senses.

Zhao Sheng gasped and subconsciously glanced at the river, but inadvertently saw a pair of miserable white palms in the dark river.

Who's hand?

When Zhao Sheng saw the palm of his hand, his face immediately turned pale with fright, and his pair of eyes seemed to be bigger than a pair of copper bells.

He vaguely remembered that the old farmer had said that if he saw something strange in the river, he would have to turn around and run back.

It's better to run fast, but if you run slower, it's going to be a big deal.

Thinking of this, Zhao Sheng didn't dare to stay here at all.

He hurriedly turned around and was about to escape, but at the critical moment, his ankle suddenly hurt.

Before he could let out a cry of pain, he was dragged into the water with a huge 'whoosh'.

The moonlit water was calm and serene, as if it had been a dream.

If there is only one trace left, I am afraid that the only thing left is the string of blisters that have risen from the bottomless water.

In the second half of the night, Elder Li, who had already improved, suddenly developed a high fever again.

He was still sweating profusely when he was groggy, and his mouth was full of nonsense: "Kill! Kill you, I'm going to kill you all, none of you can escape, no one can escape..."

A group of people led by the old owner of the village were guarding Elder Li's side with big eyes, and everyone saw that he was still delirious at the moment, and they all sighed helplessly.

Not long ago, the old farmer had personally fed him three decoctions.

It was strange to say this, whenever Elder Li drank the decoction, he would be a little quiet for a while, but once the medicinal strength passed, he returned to his previous delirious state.

Because everyone was worried about Elder Li's condition, they actually forgot about Zhao Sheng and the others for a while.

After cooking the medicinal soup for Elder Li again and taking it, everyone sat on the ground and took a nap.

Until the second half of the night, the old farmer had a strange dream.

This strange dream made him feel a little irritable and restless.

Because in the dream, the old owner actually saw Zhao Sheng, who was pale.

Zhao Sheng always stood not far in front of him and beckoned to him with a smile, but just when he felt inexplicable, Zhao Sheng came over without saying a word and wanted to take his hand and walk forward.

The old owner was startled and wanted to take the opportunity to shake off Zhao Sheng's palm, but Zhao Sheng just grabbed his hand and refused to relax.

The old owner was very surprised by Zhao Sheng's abnormal behavior, so he asked him if he had anything to say.

Zhao Sheng heard him ask, and suddenly unconsciously left two lines of tears on his face, and then Zhao Sheng began to 'babble' at him with strange gestures that people couldn't understand.

"Zhao Sheng, what's wrong with you? If you have anything to say, just say it, why do you keep comparing here? ”

Because the old owner really couldn't understand the meaning of Zhao Sheng's gesture, he couldn't help but ask him the reason.

But Zhao Sheng didn't know what was going on, he would rather compare with the old owner here, but he was reluctant to speak clearly about the mystery.

Just when the old farmer wanted to go over and forcibly break Zhao Sheng's mouth to find out, who knew that Zhao Sheng actually opened a bloody mouth and directly bit off the old owner's thin palm.

"Ahh Yes!! ”

The old farmer was awakened by this dream, and when he opened his eyes, he found that he was still in the familiar hall.

He patted his chest in shock, but suddenly felt unusually lost.

This kind of negative emotion has always haunted his mind, making his face sink like water and depressed.

The old owner pinched his chin and thought about it for a long time, and after his mind calmed down a little, he suddenly remembered that Zhao Sheng and the others who were sent out to open the door before had not returned, "Hey, by the way, Zhao Sheng, have they come back?" ”

Everyone looked at each other, they stretched their necks and glanced back and forth a few times, and then said in unison that they didn't see Zhao Sheng.

...

The night is as cool as water and breeze, and the dirt path at night looks unusually empty.

In the dim forest, I saw a group of people holding torches and slowly wandering around.

These thirty family members were all brought out by the old owner to find Zhao Sheng.

However, everyone walked all the way to here along the deserted house, but they hadn't seen Zhao Sheng's shadow yet.

The old farmer dragged his tired body and kept scanning the bushes and jungles, even though he was anxious, but still found nothing.

'Sand, sand, sand'

The occasional rustling in the woods soon startled several crows, who let out a few wails in panic as soon as they flew high into the air.

After hearing the strange crow of the crow at night, an indescribable fear and uneasiness instantly rose in everyone's hearts.

Just as everyone was staring all their attention into the sky, a head suddenly poked out silently from behind the low tree in front of them.

The other families have not yet noticed anything unusual, but the old owner has discovered this strange situation from afar.

The old farmer glared, and his face immediately became gloomy, "Who is coming?" There is a kind of appearance, why be sneaky like a coward! ”

Everyone was stunned when they heard this, and when they followed the old owner's gaze to look behind the big tree, they found that the man had limped around and ran away.

"What are you doing in a daze!! Hurry up and follow me to find out. ”

The old farmer held a torch and hurried straight ahead.

After the dazed crowd came to their senses, they also hurriedly followed the old farmer and ran forward.

After a chaotic sound of small footsteps, the figures of everyone who had gone away had already faded away.

As they hurried out, a pair of eyes that shimmered through the cracks in the trees crept out.

The stillness of the water reflects the mottled reflections of many people.

When they hurried to the river, they were caught off guard and found the dead bodies of Zhao Sheng and others.

Everyone was stunned to see the slightly hideous and terrifying scene in front of them, and everyone couldn't help but look at the old farmer nervously, they seemed to be waiting for the old owner to take the lead in coming up with a countermeasure.

The old farmer stood on the shore first, and he looked at the four corpses floating in the water in a daze with a solemn face.

I saw Zhao Sheng and the others facing the sky on their backs, and they didn't even close a pair of eyes.

This alone shows that they must be extremely unwilling to die.

The old farmer, like everyone, couldn't understand why Zhao Sheng and the other four died in the river inexplicably.

But when he remembered the nightmare he had before, his face suddenly turned ugly.

The old farmer frowned and looked around, but he didn't find any valuable clues in his ears except for the soft sound of the swaying water.

"Old farmer, Zhao Sheng and they died so evilly, do you think it will be an evil thing?"

An older family member wiped a handful of cold sweat on his face before he continued tremblingly: "Things like this kind of water ghosts harm people actually happen from time to time in my hometown, so I estimate that Zhao Sheng and they may have been assassinated by evil spirits. ”

When everyone heard the term water ghost, they were immediately so frightened that their faces turned green.

In addition, when they suddenly remembered the broken leg they had picked up in the courtyard before, everyone couldn't help but feel a chill in their hearts.

Therefore, a burst of whispering soon rang in the ears of the old owner.

"Zhao Sheng, the real evil nature of the deaths of a few of them, look at this kind of thing, they were really killed by evil spirits."

"Well, actually, that's what I thought.

In other words, there are no inhabitants in this barren mountain and wilderness, and there is really no other possibility of harming people except evil spirits. ”

"Ouch, it's hard to say, if it's not evil, then it's man-made."

One of the housekeepers walked to the shore and looked into the river again.

When he saw the slightly pale and swollen faces of Zhao Sheng and the others who were blistered, he couldn't help but retch.

When the old farmer heard this, he couldn't help but pause: Is this really man-made?

In order to find the truth and appease people's hearts, the old farmer went down to the river and walked directly to the dead body without thinking.

"Ghosts! Ghosts!! ”

Before the old owner approached the corpse in the river, unexpectedly, a family member on the shore shouted and screamed at the top of his throat.

The old farmer was annoyed and turned around angrily and pointed at his nose and scolded, "You shut up Lao Tzu, you are talking nonsense here, believe it or not, I will directly throw you into the river and choke to death." ”

"But... But I did see people walking on the other side of the river. ”

The scolded family felt aggrieved, and he planned to shut up obediently because he was afraid of the old owner's power.

But he thought about it, if he didn't make it clear, maybe some of them would be killed.

He didn't dare to hide such clues about his own safety, because if something happened at that time, who could guarantee that he would be safe and sound.

So at the risk of being scolded, he also had to tell the truth and his confession.

The old farmer didn't have time to take a closer look at the dead bodies of Zhao Sheng and the others, he hurriedly returned to the shore and grabbed the collar of the family just now, and asked very seriously: "You kid really saw someone walking on the other side of the river?" You can't be dazzled, right? ”

When the family saw that the old owner's face changed, he was really a little nervous for no reason.

He was nervous, and his speech was a little indistinct: "Well, well, I, I did see clearly, there were really people passing by the river just now." ”
