I don't know where the "evil" is, and no one else can figure it out.

I sat down on the stone next to me and rested for a while, watching the men finish the final ceremony of the burial of my aunt and grandmother. The sun at the top of the mountain was good, and the fog around it had dispersed.

At my feet, there are still some unused horseteeth.

The stems and leaves of this thing are green with a hint of reddish.

After a while with boiling water, add a little red oil and garlic or something, and then pour a little balsamic vinegar, and eat porridge in summer, the taste is fragrant and delicious.

But just mashing this thing and putting it in your mouth can ward off evil spirits.

It's the first time I've heard of it.

According to the rules of the funeral, you can't go back down the mountain, you have to go down another road. So our group, under the leadership of Steward Hu, went down the mountain from another direction.

After a winding mountain road, I saw that a separation zone had been artificially made out of the woods in front of me, and it seemed that it had been some years since the iron locks that blocked the road.

I asked An Jiaqi, "What's in there?" ”

"A waterhole."

"Waterhole?" I glanced inside, and there was a path running through it under the blackened branches, the foliage blocking most of the sunlight, and it was a little eerie.

An Jiaqi said that it was a waterhole, but I just looked at it and there was nothing.

An Jiaqi continued: "The waterhole is in the innermost, because there is no sunlight there all year round, and the water depth is about more than 100 meters, so that place is also called the Black Water Pool. ”

I groaned.

As the group moved on, I looked at the chains, which were covered in a thick layer of rust.

"If it's just a pool, why close it up?"

"I don't know." Saying that, An Jiaqi paused: "I heard that this place seems to be haunted, right?" ”

After speaking, An Jiaqi's expression shook for a moment, and then she smiled at me: "Xiaofan, don't be afraid, this haunted statement has actually been said for decades, and no one has really seen a ghost, let alone don't do bad things......"

As he was talking, Shen Mengru, who was not far away, suddenly screamed.

We hurried over, only to see Shen Mengru holding a child's small shoe in her hand, and her body couldn't stop trembling.

Grabbing the iron lock in one hand, she looked at the unfathomable path:

"Tranquility...... My son, it turns out, he is here ......"

An Jiaqi grabbed the shoes in her hand: "An Ning, came here?" How is this possible, he's just a kid, big night, how did he come over alone?! ”

Isn't tranquility at home?

Hearing them say this, Tang Muzhou and I were stunned.

I hurriedly asked An Jiaqi what was going on, and she told me that Xiao Anning was gone last night. But because my aunt was going to the funeral this morning, this matter didn't make a big fuss.

Originally, I thought that the child must have run to some room to fall asleep.

He'd done it before, after all, the house was too big, and even the children were skinny.

She asked Shen Mengru to take care of her aunt's funeral today, and then go to look for the child, but she didn't expect that on the way, she actually found the little shoes that the child wore last night.

Steward Hu strode forward and stepped over the iron lock: "Come up with me, if the little young master is inside, you must find him!" ”

Seeing him go inside, the people around him did not follow.

They stared at the dark end, fearful expressions on their faces.

Steward Hu turned around and asked them to follow quickly, but those people shook their heads, not daring to move forward.

Looking at Shen Mengru, whose eyes were full of tears and her body was constantly trembling, I lifted the iron lock and got in.

As soon as I stepped over the iron lock, I felt a chill hit me, and the temperature was at least ten degrees lower than outside. I couldn't help but shudder, and I looked back at Tang Muzhou:

"You come in, let's go find Xiao Anning."

Tang Muzhou nodded and flipped in.

As soon as he came in, he sneezed and wrapped his arms in his hands.

"Tang Xiaofan, why is it so cold here?"

"yes, I think so."

Saying that, I An Jiaqi said: "You wait here, the three of us go in and have a look, Shen Mengru, don't worry, maybe the child didn't go in, just took a detour and walked away!" ”

Shen Mengru was already sitting on the ground, she was sobbing all over the place, and she couldn't even say a whole sentence.

An Jiaqi on the side could only comfort her and said: "Don't cry first, the child may not go in yet, let them go and see it first." ”

Looking at Shen Mengru, who was crying and miserable, I felt very uncomfortable.

So, I said to Steward Hu, "Let's go, you lead the way." ”

Steward Hu nodded, and Tang Muzhou and I followed him all the way inside.

It's a summer morning, and it's time for the sun to shine, and it stands to reason that even if there are heavy foliage blocking the sun, the temperature will not be so low.

But the further we go inside, the colder we feel.

My teeth began to chatter, and I asked Steward Hu, how far is the black water pool?

Steward Hu pointed out the col ahead: "It's down there." ”

We walked over and saw that the so-called black water pool turned out to be a small puddle under the mountain col, which was about 100 square meters in size.

To say that it is a black water pool is really worthy of its name.

The waterhole was not alarmed, but there was not a trace of ripples on it, and at first glance, it looked like a black marble.

The closer you get to it, the chill worsens.

Tang Muzhou had already sneezed several times, and I asked Steward Hu, "This is the Black Water Pool?" ”

Steward Hu nodded: "That's right." ”

"Xiao Anning is just a child, it's a big night, how can it run so far alone?"

"Whether he came in or not, it's impossible to say, let's see first."

As he spoke, Steward Hu began to walk around the waterhole, looking for something as he walked.

Seeing this, Tang Muzhou and I also walked in the other direction.

Although I don't know what the result will be, all Shen Mengru's hopes are on us, whether Xiao Anning comes in or not, we have to give her an answer.

In the process of searching with Tang Muzhou, Tang Muzhou asked me: "Xiaofan, does it make sense for us to look for it like this?" ”

I shook my head, I didn't know.

If that kid really ran in, if he really came to hit this black pool.

It's a big night again, so it's very likely that he has fallen into the pool, although I don't think it's like this ending, but no one can deny it, this possibility is very large.

If that is the ending, Shen Mengru will probably commit suicide.

Just as I was thinking about it, I suddenly heard Steward Hu on the other side shouting at us: "I found it!" ”
