Chapter 543: Handprints on Ankles
When the people blocking the door saw Zhou Ah Gong coming, their original restless mood was immediately relieved, as if they had seen a savior, and they gave way one after another. `
Zhou Ah Gong didn't stop at all, he walked all the way, through the thick crowd, and directly entered the hall on the first floor of the house.
The decoration of this house is relatively simple, and the tablet of the ancestors is facing the gate, which should be regarded as a simple ancestral hall. To its left, there are several mahogany screens separating the living room from the ancestral hall.
There is a mahjong table in the center of the living room, with mahjong and poker on it, and it is expected that someone here should be playing cards and entertainment at the time of the accident.
On the side of the living room against the window, there was a half-circle of sand, and in front of the sand were several men, as if they were working together to press a person against the sand.
I heard someone in the sand roaring fiercely, like an angry beast.
I am sure that it must not be the voice of a beast, it must be the woman's son.
Zhou Ah Gong quickly walked around the screen with a hollow pattern and came to the group of men, frowning and looking inside, the expression on his face was very solemn.
I winked at the fat man, and then we all squeezed in front of me to look at the sand.
There was a little boy, held down by a group of men, struggling there, his expression seemed to be very painful, his emotions seemed to be very agitated, but all he could do was a low roar like that of a wild beast. `
At this time, Zhou Ah Gong asked the woman what was going on.
The woman's eyes turned red all of a sudden, and her tears couldn't stop flowing, and she choked up and told her a rough story about what happened.
Her son's name is Xiaohai, and he went out with a few friends yesterday afternoon, and I don't know what they thought, but he actually went to Zhaohe to play in this weather and went into the water.
The Zhao River is a small river, usually the amount of water is very small, and the water is not fast, so it stands to reason that nothing should happen when you play there.
But I don't know what's going on in the past two days, the water level of the Zhao River has been rising, and the river is flowing much faster than before.
Xiao Hai and the children were originally playing near the shore, but for some reason, Xiao Hai suddenly screamed, and his body began to be pulled uncontrollably towards the middle of the river.
The middle of the river is very deep, but the river flows the fastest, and with the water level of the Zhao River rising to this level, it will be very difficult for even adults with good water to get to that position, let alone a small child.
Amid the screams of the other children, the child made a few splashes before being swept away by the river.
Fortunately, at this time, there was an adult passing by who hurriedly took off his clothes and jumped into Zhao He to save Xiaohai, but he looked for a long time, but now the child has disappeared.
This incident soon spread back to the village, and the whole village, regardless of men, women, and children, ran to the Zhao River to find Xiaohai, and some people even borrowed boats to salvage everywhere. `
However, a few hours passed, but he still didn't see Xiaohai's shadow.
Everyone began to want to give up, thinking that the child had been washed away somewhere, and let Xiaohai's mother prepare for the worst.
Xiaohai's father was working outside, and Xiaohai's mother was at home alone with the children and taking care of the elderly.
Just when everyone was about to give up the search and rescue, someone found Xiaohai more than ten kilometers downstream of the Zhao River. What is exciting is that Xiaohai is still alive.
A few hours after Xiaohai was washed away by the water, just when everyone had already given up hope for his survival, someone actually sent back the news that he had been found, which had to be said to be a miracle.
If this is the end of this matter, it should be regarded as a happy ending.
Xiaohai will not die, and there should be a blessing, which should be the result that everyone wants to see.
However, what is surprising is that this incident has only just begun.
According to the man who is now the child, he found Xiaohai in a very remote place in the lower reaches of the Zhao River.
At that time, he had just come out of a relative's house, and when he saw that it was already dark, he was about to take a shortcut home. When he passed by the vicinity of the Zhao River, he suddenly heard a terrible scream.
At first, he thought it was a haunting, and instinctively wanted to run, but the more he listened, the more he felt that something was wrong, and finally he had the courage to run over to see.
According to the direction from which the sound came from, the person was hidden behind the weeds in a position where Zhao He was hidden, and there was a very small waterfall, and behind the waterfall, there was a small hole that was recessed.
In that hole, there was a little boy, wearing nothing on his body, with his head down on one side of his face on the ground, while his ass was raised high, and his two thighs were pressed against his chest, in a very strange position.
The little boy was Xiao Hai, and he was lying on the ground with such difficult movements, his eyes closed, and he looked as if he was in a coma, but he kept making creepy screams.
What's even more numb to the scalp is that there is a blood-red handprint at the ankle joints of Xiaohai's two legs.
The man rescued Xiaohai and heard that someone upstream's child was washed away by the water, so he hurriedly contacted the upstream side and kindly sent Xiaohai back.
After listening to the man's story, everyone went to look at Xiaohai's two calves.
Sure enough, on Xiao Hai's two ankles, there were indeed two mudra-shaped bruises.
Just when everyone was discussing sending Xiaohai to the hospital for emergency treatment, Xiaohai actually woke up.
What is incomprehensible is that after Xiaohai woke up, he didn't cry or make trouble, only swept his eyes over everyone's faces, and kept sneering "hehe".
Speaking of which, Xiao Hai's gaze at that time was not like that of a child of this age, lacking horror and naivety, but more mockery and resentment.
Everyone who has been seen by Xiaohai will feel a sudden burst in their hearts, as if a cold hand suddenly grabbed their ankles.
Xiaohai looked at everyone very uncomfortable, and because of those weird things before, everyone was a little afraid of Xiaohai, and they all said that there was something at home and led the child away.
Xiaohai's mother didn't think about the bad place, and when she saw her son escape from death, it was too late to be happy, so she hurriedly carried Xiaohai back home.
However, something unexpected happened, just last night.
After Xiaohai returned home, he only ate very little and went upstairs to sleep. Xiaohai's mother thought that the child was frightened, but she didn't think much about it, and after taking care of the old people in the family and having dinner, she began to clean up the dishes and chopsticks.
But at this moment, she suddenly heard a "bang" from upstairs.
If it was usual, she would definitely think that Xiao Hai was naughty and knocked something down, and she wouldn't particularly care.
But this time was different, she was very sensitive, and after hearing the sound, she put down her work as soon as she heard the sound, and hurriedly ran upstairs to see Xiaohai's current situation.
However, what she didn't expect was that when she pushed the door open, Xiao Hai's head was actually hanging from a belt hanging on a clothes pole, and her hands were clutching the belt tightly, and she was kicking her legs constantly, looking very painful.
