A shirtless man said: "It's strange, Aunt Li's hair seems to be rooted under the water, why can't you pull it up?" ”

"Huzi, you use a knife!"

"The knife keeps cutting!" The man complained.

A group of people seemed to have nothing to do about it, and even the people of the corpse salvage team left, saying that this thing was too evil and they didn't make this money.

As the saying goes, good things don't go out and bad things spread thousands of miles, and this matter quickly spread, and the surrounding villages, including our village, as well as several surrounding villages, heard this, and they were all too scared to go to the reservoir to swim.

Although there are cases of drowning people in the reservoir every year, this year's one is too evil, and the most evil thing is that the corpses of Uncle Li's family seem to have taken root in the water, even if they are fishing boats pulling nets, they can't pull them up.

The village chief discussed that the flood release period would be completed immediately, and the corpses would be salvaged when the flood discharge period was over, after all, the conditions in the village were limited, and it was impossible to rent a few more boats to salvage them.

And Cheng Su and I still play happily every day, but occasionally we hear about the reservoir, but this thing is nothing to our two children, only know that because of the non-stop autumn rain, the time of water discharge has been postponed, but something big happened in the village chief's house.

The granddaughter of the village chief, an eight-year-old girl, this girl usually relies on her grandfather to be the village chief, quite arrogant, I don't know if it is lost or what, the village chief's family went to do farm work, leaving the girl to look after the house, but when they came back, the village chief did not see the little girl, only found some aquatic plants on the little girl's bed.

At that time, the rain was very heavy, and several old people in the village said that there were aquatic plants on the bed, and they were afraid that Uncle Li's family of three had been soaking in the water for too long, and they had turned into water ghosts to ask the village chief for their lives.

It just so happened that the village chief was not at home, so he took the little girl away.

After hearing this, the village chief's son and daughter-in-law began to cry, and it was raining so hard that the village chief did not care about reporting the flood discharge and immediately opened the sluice gate of the west dam of the reservoir without permission.

Flood discharge is a time work, and the results of the floodgates opened at night will not be seen until the next morning, and my grandmother and Cheng Su's grandmother also went to help, and the village chief personally came to invite them.

As for our two children, we made an appointment to catch crabs next to the reservoir, the crabs in autumn are big and fat, and the water quality of the reservoir is good, so the crab and crab paste here are very yellow, and after steaming, dip some soy sauce and garlic, and then put some sesame oil, the taste is very delicious.

During this time, we and other friends came to dig crabs every day, but because of whether to eat crabs or not to dip in vinegar quarreled several times, at that time I was stubborn, and I was two years younger than Cheng Su, so Cheng Su coaxed me to be happy.

One day it was already dark, Cheng Su and I wanted to catch a few more crabs and go back, but it was a little late, who knew that we were too engrossed, and when we came back to our senses, we found that it was already dark.

The autumn weather darkened so quickly that we were very surprised.

Cheng Su said timidly: "Let's go back, otherwise we will be scolded again!" ”

"Okay, anyway, tomorrow is Sunday, and we can come out and play tomorrow." I said.

Cheng Su suddenly stopped, and she said, "My shoes are gone!" ”

"Mine for you, we'll look for it again tomorrow at dawn." I said.

Cheng Su said in embarrassment: "Your shoes are small, I can't wear them." ”

Because of the difference between men and women, Cheng Su has grown up very fast in recent years, and now she is half a head taller than me, I see that she is barefoot and there is no way, and there is a stone road on the way back, so I agreed to go to the river to find it.

We ran and walked, walking along the edge of the reservoir, but I don't know why, the two of us ran for half an hour, but we didn't find the way, Cheng Su was afraid, she said: "Otherwise, I ...... Let's not look for it, it's too dark around, I ...... I'm afraid! ”

"I'll carry you when I can walk the gravel road." I said.

Cheng Su smiled sweetly.

But we turned around for a long time, and we didn't see the way home.

Cheng Su was less courageous than me, and she cried as she walked, and she said, "What should I do, I'm lost...... My grandmother said that there are many lost ghosts in the village forest, and they like to eat children's meat the most! ”

"Don't be afraid, my grandmother said that my life is hard, the ghosts are afraid of me, and when the ghosts come, I will clean them up!" I looked at Cheng Su and said, "I'll buy lollipops for you tomorrow, and my grandmother gave me five cents today, and I haven't spent it yet!" ”

Cheng Su burst into tears and laughed: "You said okay!" Don't lie! ”

"When have I lied to you?" I said.

"I know that the child is the best father!" As he spoke, Cheng Su took a sip on my face, took my hand and walked forward.

We went from walking to running, but we found ourselves in a forest that we had never seen before, and there were some strange sounds around us, which sounded like a cat meowing or a baby's cry, which was creepy and made me forget about hunger.

I grabbed Cheng Su's hand, I felt that Cheng Su's palms were all cold sweat, and she insisted on running.

Before I knew it, there was only the sound of my footsteps, and the sky was slowly getting darker, although I was scared, but it was two people together, so I wasn't very scared.

But when we got to the bottom, we found that we had come to a river bank in the reservoir, and it was this place where Uncle Li's family had drowned.

I felt that we were completely lost in the way home, Cheng Su was frightened and overwhelmed, sat on the ground, the autumn rain began to fall again, it was not raining when it came out, but now the dripping rain also wet our bodies all of a sudden, but there seemed to be a faint call from the reservoir in the distance!

"What sound?" Cheng Su grabbed my hand and said.

I also listened carefully, but at that time, I didn't know where the courage came from, hugged Cheng Su and said: "It's a cat barking, there are fish in the reservoir, cats like to eat fish, and the cats come over at night, don't be afraid, maybe it's the big cat that was lost in your house last year!" ”

"But my cat was not lost, it was run over by a tractor, and the more you talk about it, the more scared I become......" Cheng Su said with a crying voice.

"Maybe it's your big cat's parents." I comforted me.

"But Huahua's parents were also crushed to death by the tractor......" Cheng Su said weakly.

"Grandpa, it must be your grandfather, I promise!" I said out loud.

Cheng Su stabilized at this time, but I was also very scared, and Cheng Su hugged each other, we didn't dare to approach the waterhole one step, I wanted to turn around and run away, but I couldn't stand up, I said my leg was numb, Cheng Su said she was too.

At that moment, the faint call in the waterhole ceased, but a deathly silence ensued around us, causing us to stare at the surface of the waterhole without moving, and I heard the sound of something rising up, and the surface of the water began to ripple.

At that moment, my mind was left blank, and I forgot to cry, only to see a series of strange events happening in front of me.

In my sleep, a pair of red shoes first appeared, which were covered with moss leaves in the water, and gradually two shoeed calves also floated upside down, and then the thighs, waist, arms, shoulders... Finally, a pair of eyes that were staring at the boss and covered in black bloodshots!

This turned out to be Yang Xiaohua, the granddaughter of the village chief!

At that time, Yang Xiaohua's small body was already very weirdly twisted, and her whole face was blistered, but she still stared at us with wide eyes.

This is not the end, three more corpses came up, this turned out to be Uncle Li's family of three who had already drowned, Uncle Li and his son's heads were buried under the river sand, and when they approached us, the soil on the head was pulled out of a ditch.

"Doesn't it hurt when they bury their faces in the soil and pull?" Cheng Su said softly.

"Listening to my grandmother, Second Uncle Li's family has always been thick-skinned and not afraid." I said, "Li Yingjie, this kid still owes me half an eraser, and he has been refusing to pay it back!" ”

Although Uncle Li's father and son buried their heads in the soil, his wife and Yang Xiaohua, two women, approached us upside down, with big eyes and covered with water and grass.

Their hair, like an eight-clawed crab, moved on the sand, and those two pairs of dead fish-eyed eyes made me feel terrified in my heart.
