Chapter Twenty-Five: Dreams or Reality

"Luo Changtian, Luo Changtian, hurry up!"

In a trance, I seemed to hear a little boy calling my name, and I slowly opened my eyes, only to see a picture that surprised me.

Surrounded by trees, the moonlight shines on the tranquil lake, and the occasional breeze blows through and ripples.

I am no stranger to this lake, it is the natural lake on the east side of our Huai Mountain, and it is the best place for children in our Dawang Village and nearby villages to swim when they are young.

How did I end up here, I, I remember that I seemed to save someone, then.

"Luo Changtian, hurry up, swim secretly for a while and go back."

I looked in the direction from which the voice came from, and I saw a big child, estimated to be eight or nine years old, shirtless, wearing a pair of shorts, waving at me.

Zhang Ye? Brother Huohua?

I can't be mistaken, the little kid in front of me is Brother Huohua, and he was so virtuous when he was a child.

He's calling me, he's calling me Luo Changtian.

I subconsciously looked down and found that I had changed back to my childhood, I was two years younger than Zhang Ye, that is, I was six or seven years old.

Dreaming, yes, I must be dreaming.

But why do I have such dreams, dreaming of what I looked like when I was a child, and most importantly, I don't remember that I ever went to the lake alone with Huo Hua to swim.

I vaguely remember that when I was about six years old, a drunk man in the next village drowned in the lake, and then the village committees of several villages strictly forbade swimming in the lake without permission, and there would often be people patrolling the lake.

I've been relatively well-behaved since I was a child, I shouldn't have been able to go to the lake with Brother Huohua, why don't I have this memory, not even a little sporadic memory.

Although I couldn't figure it out, I still slowly walked towards Brother Huohua, I wanted to know what was going on.

I said, "Brother Huohua, you are not allowed to swim in the lake without permission here, and it will be over if you are discovered." ”

Zhang Ye looked at me with a puzzled look and said, "Why did you change your mind so quickly, you didn't agree to accompany me in the evening, hurry up, swimming in the summer is happy." ”

For those of us who have lived in the countryside since childhood, it is really enjoyable to go swimming in the lake in summer, especially when the lake is not deep, and it will become a swimming pool for friends in nearby villages in summer.

Unfortunately, a drunkard drowned, and the adults never allowed us to come again.

Zhang Ye quickly took off his shorts and jumped directly into the lake, I remember that he has a good water nature, and I can learn to swim because he taught him how to swim.

I always felt that something was wrong there, and I couldn't completely forget this memory, what really happened.

In order to find out the truth of the matter, I had to swim in the lake, and the cool water of the lake submerged my body, and soon Zhang Ye and I swam happily in the lake.

It's been a long time since I've felt like this, and my mood has changed in an instant.

The two of us chased in the lake for a while, and Zhang Ye poked his head out of the lake and said, "Changtian, do you know why the adults don't allow us to swim in the lake." ”

I nodded and said, "A drunkard died a while ago, and my lord is afraid that we will drown." ”

Zhang Ye floated on the surface of the water, changed his serious expression and said: "How can such a shallow lake drown us, in fact, they are afraid that the drunk who drowned will become a ghost in the water, and then,"

I was taken aback by Zhang Ye's words, and whispered: "Then what, Brother Huohua, don't scare people at night." ”

"It is said that if a water ghost wants to be reincarnated, he must find a substitute ghost, preferably,"

Before Zhang Ye's words were finished, the whole person suddenly sank into the lake, and then jumped out violently, as if something pulled him into the lake.

"Long heaven, help, save me!"

I was terrified, I was really frightened, not because of what happened to Zhang Ye, but because I didn't remember it at all.

Reservoir ghost, substitute death, why I don't have any impression at all.

I hurriedly swam towards Zhang Ye, trying to pull him out of the water, but who knew that as soon as I got close to him, he was pressed by his shoulder and pressed into the lake.

I struggled in the lake for a while, and then I realized that some ghost was pulling him, and it was clear that he was fooling me.

"Hahaha, Changtian, be fooled, how can there be ghosts in this world, it's all adults who are deceiving children."

Zhang Ye lifted me out of the water and swam towards the shore as he said, "Come ashore quickly, in case you are seen by the patrol, there will be no good fruit to eat." ”

Zhang Ye swam very fast, and after a while, he reached the shore, put on shorts and kept waving at me.

I spat out a mouthful of water and swam towards the shore at an accelerated pace, seeing that I was about to reach the shore, when I suddenly felt something grab my ankle.

A chill came over me from my ankles, something, something in the lake really grabbed me.

I tried my best, but I couldn't break free, and I was pulled into the lake all at once, struggling in the water.

"Changtian, stop playing, you can't fool me."

Playing, I didn't play at all, I was really pulled into the lake, I clearly saw a black figure pulling me under the water, I couldn't see his expression clearly, but it was definitely vicious.

I kicked back twice desperately, and finally got a chance, and suddenly got out of the water and shouted: "Brother Huohua, help me, there is really something pulling me underwater." ”

As soon as the words fell, I was pulled down again, and this time I saw very clearly that it was a middle-aged man who was holding me, with a look of excitement in his eyes and a weird laugh.

I felt a great sense of fear in my heart, whether this was my dream, or something I had experienced but forgotten.

Just when I was extremely frightened, a strong little hand grabbed me, and Zhang Ye tried his best to keep swimming me towards the shore.

We struggled in the lake like this, I swam forward desperately, Zhang Ye dragged me desperately, and finally, I finally saw a glimmer of light, grabbed the stones on the shore, and rushed to the shore with a jump.

"Brother Huohua, I'm ashore, I,"

A few waves rolled out of the lake, but I didn't see Zhang Ye's figure, something happened to him, he must have been dragged down by a ghost in the water.

"Brother Huohua, Brother Huohua, where are you?"

For some reason, I didn't have the courage to go down to the lake again, I just stood by the lake stupidly and shouted his name.

About three minutes later, there was a ripple on the surface of the lake again, and Zhang Ye surfaced and slowly floated to the shore.

I didn't understand what was going on, anyway, Brother Huohua came out, I hurriedly went over and dragged him to the shore, and kept squeezing his chest.

After spitting out two mouthfuls of lake water, Brother Huo Hua finally opened his eyes, however, his eyes made me shudder.

I've seen Xiumei and Pan Jieyun, so I won't feel much now.

But if all this had happened, I would not have been able to face the strange things in front of me at the age of seven.

Zhang Ye's eyes glowed green, his whole body began to turn black, his nails became very long, his limbs were twisted in a posture that ordinary people couldn't do, and a weird smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he kept looking at me and laughing.

I was stared at by Zhang Ye so that my scalp was numb, and I subconsciously took a few steps back, but who knew that Zhang Ye slowly got up and walked towards me in an extremely weird posture.

A huge sense of fear hit my heart again, and I couldn't help crying bitterly, shouting loudly: "Brother Huohua, what's wrong with you, don't scare me." ”

Zhang Ye kept approaching me, and I kept retreating, but at this moment, I suddenly heard a little girl's crisp voice.

"Grandpa, look, he's crying, shame or not, the boy is still crying."

An old man and a young man came from the west side of the forest.

The little girl is very lively, with a ponytail, about six or seven years old, and the typical little beauty has a smile on the corner of her mouth all the time.

The old man is estimated to be in his seventies, with a bamboo basket on his back, and he looks quite kind, but I always feel that he is a little familiar.

The old man's expression was very serious, he put down the bamboo basket and said, "Good granddaughter, take him to the side to play, grandpa do something." ”

The little girl seemed to understand what his grandfather was going to do, and came over and pulled me aside and didn't let me see what his grandfather was going to do.

The little girl blinked her big beautiful eyes and said, "Hey, what's your name, it's from that village, what grade is it?" ”

I wanted to see what was going on behind me, but the little girl was so clever that she wouldn't let me turn around.

I could only honestly reply: "My name is Luo Changtian, and I am in the fifth class of the first grade of the village elementary school. ”

The little girl slurred her lips and said, "I really envy that you can go to school, my grandfather won't let me go to school, by the way, my name is Wang Yaxin!" ”

The little girl smiled sweetly at me as she spoke.

Wang Yaxin, she turned out to be Wang Yaxin.

My, Dead Wife?

How is it possible, how is this possible, I must be dreaming, how could I have seen Wang Yaxin when I was a child.

At this moment, there was a painful cry of Brother Huohua behind me, as well as the old man's roar: "Evil barrier, don't get out of here!" ”

Wang Yaxin still stopped me and said with a smile: "Luo Changtian, don't look, your friend is fine, let's play pretending to be a family, you are the groom, I am the bride!" ”

I was in kindergarten when I played too much at home, so I was bullied by my friends in the same village, so I shook my head very resolutely and said, "I don't play, you, are you really called Wang Yaxin?" ”

Wang Yaxin didn't have time to answer my question, because Uncle Wang had already picked up Brother Huo Hua and threw it beside me and said, "It's okay, you two little guys, why don't you listen to adults and sneak into the lake to swim." ”

I glanced at Brother Huohua, and there was an obvious and ugly fire scar on his waist.

I tried to think about it for a moment, but I really couldn't remember if there was this scar on Brother Huohua's waist.

I still want to ask a few more questions, who knows that Uncle Wang patted me on the head twice and said softly: "Sleep, sleep, you'll be fine when you wake up, you won't remember anything." ”
