It was a bit dark, and my eyesight was exceptional.

The child looked like he was five or six years old, lying on the adobe house with a collapsed roof in a very peculiar position. It is said that he is lying on his stomach, because the reason why he can stay on the adobe wall is that he holds a purlin tightly with his arms, and the whole person hangs upside down like a bat.

What's even more strange is that his eyes are red, and he seems to be still flashing red.

My body trembled, and my scalp felt like it had been electrocuted.

"Look!" I hurriedly pointed to the kid for Zhang Kailong and Chen Laosan to see.

When the two looked up, the child suddenly disappeared.

"See what?" Zhang Kailong asked me.

"There's a kid lying there just now!" I was so shocked again that the cold hairs on the back of my neck stood on end. Just now, my gaze shifted for two or three seconds—three seconds at most, and then why was the person gone? It's almost impossible! Not to mention being a child, even if I am as nimble as I am, I don't have the confidence to be able to move so quickly.

"Where are the children, could it be that you are too involved in the things that Lao Yu said just now, and you are hallucinating?"

Zhang Kailong asked me.

"Impossible! I could see very clearly, it was a little boy who looked like he was five or six years old, and ...... And the eyes are red......"

I replied.

As soon as I heard that my eyes were red, Chen Laosan said "um", hurriedly grabbed my shirt and asked, "Are you sure you can see clearly, it's red?" ”

I was startled by this kid just now, and now I was taken aback by Chen Laosan's sudden rude behavior, I knew that he must have known or thought of something so excited, so I quickly nodded.

"If it's really red eyes, it must not belong to humans!"

Chen Laosan slowly let go of his hand and muttered.

It's nonsense to hear what he said, people with black eyes, people with blue eyes, but there are no red-eyed people on the earth, if they really have red eyes, then they are not people! But after listening to Chen Laosan's explanation below, I know that this is definitely not a nonsense.

Chen Laosan said that he had also seen children with red eyes, and that was the time when he was looking for a treasure hiding place along the Yellow River in Ningxia, specifically I went to that place, which was on the Yellow River Eighteen Spirals next to Helan Mountain.

It was also an evening, and in order to hurry, Chen Laosan chose to take a risk and take a shortcut, rowing the Yellow River eighteen turns.

Chen Laosan has always thought that he is the most water-oriented and boat-driving person in this area, and he is a master of art and bold! Even in such a precipitous place, there is no tension. As he hummed the tune of cruising the river around the third bay, he inadvertently looked up and suddenly saw two people standing on the raised rocks in the middle of the mountain.

said that it is a person, because it looks like a person, in fact, Chen Laosan can only see the general outline, but these two people are extremely short, but they are just over a meter old, and what is even more strange is that the eyes of the two are red, and under the only few traces of afterglow, the two pairs of red eyes are still glowing red.

Chen Laosan was so frightened that his hands unconsciously clenched the rudder, and his eyes didn't dare to move.

But people are not fish, they have to blink every few seconds, and in such a dangerous part of the river, people's attention has to be distracted. Just when he was distracted in the blink of an eye, he looked at the raised rock again, only to find that the two villains were gone.

At that time, Chen Laosan was not scared! After calming down, I also thought about it carefully.

He felt that if he could stand on such a high raised rock, it must not be a human, it could be a monkey in the mountains...... Thinking about it like this, Chen Laosan was also somewhat relieved, but every time he thought of the scene of the two villains he saw at that time, he doubted the conclusion that "those were two monkeys".

That silhouette doesn't look like a monkey! More like two small children.

Two years later, Chen Laosan picked up a traveler, and when the two talked, he told Chen Laosan that he was a zoologist and that he had come to Ningxia to investigate the local animal species.

As soon as he heard him say that he was a zoologist, Chen Laosan remembered the incident in the evening two years ago, so he hurriedly asked this person for advice.

Zoologists say that the eyes of many animals change color in the dark, such as dogs, wolves, and chests, and the eyes of these animals are blue in the night, especially when you shine a flashlight on them, the faint blue light is especially conspicuous; Cats and the like have purple eyes...... As for the red light, the man thought about it and said that there was one kind of animal whose eyes glowed red, and that was the owl.

Chen Laosan asked the zoologist to think about whether there was any kind of monkey whose eyes glowed red, and the man shook his head and explained that from a zoological point of view, humans and apes are the same kind, so their eyes will not glow red.

Hearing this, Chen Laosan was simply creepy, since it couldn't be a monkey, what did he see?

……

After Chen Laosan finished talking about this, Zhang Kailong and I glanced at each other, and we both felt a chill in our hearts.

"Let's go check it out!" The three of them were silent for dozens of seconds, and Zhang Kailong said slowly.

At this time, we noticed that there were ruins of houses all around, and there was not a single household living there.

I found that the red-eyed child's house was overgrown with weeds and wild vegetables more than half a meter high, indicating that the family had been gone for at least ten years.

The three of them pulled the weeds, carved out a path, and entered the "interior" of the dilapidated house hand and foot.

The house is not big, but when you stand "indoors", you can see the surroundings at a glance, and there is no shadow of a child.

"Am I really dazzled?" I muttered.

"You read that right, there was indeed a child here."

Zhang Kailong pointed to a blank spot in the corner of the wall and shouted.

Chen Laosan and I looked for prestige, and at a glance we saw a few small footprints there. The footprints are not clear, but at a glance you can tell that they are children.

The three of them hurriedly leaned over.

"These footprints were just left! I think the kid you saw jumped off the purlin on the roof and grabbed the wall first. As he spoke, Zhang Kailong pointed to a few small handprints on the wall, and then pointed to the small footprints on the ground. Then jump here! ”

We looked forward in the direction of the small footprints, and found that the small footprints disappeared to the side of the wall, which should have been over the wall.

"Okay! Brother Long, his eyes are sharp enough, he can judge so much just by a few handprints and footprints! ”

I complimented.

"Humph! What is this, don't forget what I'm for! ”

After speaking, Zhang Kailong himself smiled embarrassedly.

Looking at the landscape and the current time, we gave up the idea of continuing to pursue the red-eyed child, and returned the same way, back to the entrance of the village.

The three of them drove out of the village, and when the car drove to the embankment of the Yellow River, I also noticed that the huge bronze statue of the river woman was gone, and it should have been transported away by the Provincial Cultural Relics Bureau.

The car was running on the embankment of the Yellow River, and we talked about the red-eyed boy.

Zhang Kailong said: "Do you think this boy will be the child who died before?" ”
