Chapter 33: The Phantom of the Mirror Lake

After going to Linjiang Xian Restaurant for dinner, it was already 10 o'clock in the evening, Lao Xing and Ling Qingyao went back to the police station to report first, I drank high with the blind man, and helped each other to come to the side of Jinghu to blow the wind and sober up.

"Xiao Fu, it's been a long time since our brothers have drunk so much!" The blind man sat on a wooden bench on the embankment by the lake and said drunkenly.

I put my arm around the blind man's shoulders, hiccuped, and said with emotion: "It's really fucking thrilling for us to escape from the dead in the village and live two lives this time, and I must write this experience into a notepad." ā€

The blind man also learned that I burped and said deliriously, "Notepad? Oh yes, I—I remember you seem to have a habit of keeping a diary. ā€

I shook my head and patted the blind man on the shoulder: "It's not a diary, I'm just used to writing some important things or experiences in a notebook, which is a habit that I gradually developed after my father's death." ā€

Speaking of his father, the atmosphere suddenly became very sad, the blind man raised his head to look up at the clear night sky, and said with emotion: "Master Chen, the forehead is not right, it should be called Uncle Guozhong." Ever since my hapless master was killed in the ancient tomb, Uncle Guozhong has also helped me a lot in private, so that I will not be without food and money to spend after losing my master. ā€

Master Wang Shengtian, the blind man's master, and my father, Chen Guozhong, were brothers, and the two had a lifelong friendship. I still vividly remember that when my father heard that Master Wang Shengtian was folded in the tomb of King Dian, he silently hid in his room and smoked a cigarette all day. At night, I opened the door and went in to see that my father was just sitting silently on the edge of the bed, with a jade stream in his mouth, a garbage basket full of cigarette butts under his feet, and his eyes staring directly at a yellowed old photo in his right hand. It was taken in the summer of 1970 when my father and Wang Shengtian were in line at the Chongka Farm in Longshan, and my father once said that this was the only photo of him and Wang Shengtian.

Just as the blind man and I were reminiscing about the past, a heart-rending cry for help suddenly came from the silent shore of the lake.

When the blind man and I heard the cry for help, we immediately woke up from the drunkenness, and the voice sounded like that of a young girl. I don't know what's going on with the street lights along the shore of Jinghu Lake, they are flickering and dimming, and the lighting effect can be said to be extremely poor. The blind man and I walked quickly to the nearest observation deck in search of sounds, but I didn't expect that there was no light here, I felt speechless for a while, so I simply took out my mobile phone from my pocket and turned on the flashlight. Although the flashlight installed on the mobile phone is not as good as the flashlight for lighting, it is better than nothing in this case, so make do with it, saving people is the most important.

I asked the blind man to wait on the road and walked up to the observation deck by myself. Perhaps because I hadn't sobered up yet, I staggered on the observation deck and almost fell to the ground.

I staggered to the edge of the wooden fence surrounded by vermilion paint, and when I shone it with a flashlight, I saw a girl about my age floating on the water, clutching the fence with both hands, and her body was constantly struggling violently.

"Don't be afraid, I'm here to save you!" As I spoke, I reached out to pull the girl up.

"Quick, get me up, there's something holding my leg under the water!" The girl cried hoarsely.

Hearing her words, I was stunned at first, and when I shone with a flashlight, I saw that there was indeed a black thing under the clear water, but the visibility was too poor at night, and I was still drunk, so I couldn't see what it was.

I put the phone in my mouth and grabbed the girl's hands hard, but I didn't know what was pulling the girl's legs under the water.

"This wooden fence is really in the way!"

I gritted my teeth, raised my right hand and forced a hole in the wooden fence, which should be wide enough for me to pull her up.

"My feet hurt so much, I can't hold on anymore!" The girl's voice was about to burst, and I saw that cold sweat was breaking out on her forehead, and her face was as white as paper. I thought that she must have struggled in the water for a long time, and if she continued like this, she would be dragged to the bottom of the lake by the thing under the water at any time.

Thinking of this, my drunken spirit suddenly woke up five minutes again, and I opened my horse's steps, and my hands kept exerting force.

At this critical juncture, the Ring of Power suddenly emitted a faint red light, as if sensing the presence of evil underwater. What evil can be in the water? The first thing I thought about was the water ghosts, which are commonly known as water monkeys.

Without thinking about it, with the help of the power ring, an inexplicably powerful force welled up in my body, and with the force of my arms, I finally dragged the girl from the water to the shore.

"Thank you for saving my ......"

The girl fell on the observation deck, fainted before she finished speaking, I stretched out my hand to probe my nose, she was still alive, but her breath was already very weak, and she had to be sent to the hospital for treatment as soon as possible.

I held my phone in my right hand and called the emergency number, and after making the call, I yelled at the blind man and asked him to carry the girl outside to the side of the road and wait for the ambulance. The blind man staggered over, and met the girl lying on the ground under his feet, when he squatted down and touched the girl's face, he suddenly exclaimed: ", isn't this Chenchen?" ā€

I was taken aback by him, and asked with disdain, "Who is Chenchen?" Ah, I see, could it be your old look? ā€

While performing CPR on this girl named Chenchen, the blind man explained to me: "Chenchen and I are childhood sweethearts, and we used to play together when we were young, until when I was ten years old, Master took me out of Qingchen City to live in Tianjin, and I haven't seen her since. ā€

When I first met the blind man a few years ago, I often heard him mention a girl named Sun Yuchen, every time he recalled the past, the blind man always remembered with a handful of snot and tears: "The only woman I have ever loved in my life is Chenchen, and I will not marry her!" ā€

Later, I learned from my father why Wang Shengtian took the blind man out of Qingchen City and went north to Tianjin when he was ten years old, just because Wang Shengtian said that the blind man and Sun Yuchen did not agree and were destined not to be together.

I'll go, this Nima is too, isn't it? Just because of this absurd reason to break up a couple, Master Wang is afraid that he is not the head of the FFF group?

I also asked the blind man why he didn't go to Sun Yuchen after returning to Qingchen City, and the blind man always said: "After all these years, Chenchen Xing probably doesn't remember me anymore, maybe she already has someone else." ā€

Now that he sees Chenchen again, and in this unexpected way, the blind man's heart is really full of mixed feelings.

I saw that the blind man was doing CPR so seriously, and I didn't bother him anymore.

Before the ambulance arrived, I turned on my flashlight and turned on my yin and yang eyes to see what was hidden under the water.

The calm water was calm, and the occasional breeze rippled in the wind, and I was fascinated by it, and my mind began to think crankily again.

At this moment, on the surface of the lake, which was less than 300 meters away from me, suddenly emitted a strange faint green light. I looked at it, and there seemed to be something underwater, but strangely, even my yin and yang eyes couldn't really see it.

It's evil, what kind of ghosts are hidden under the water of this mirror lake?
