Chu Xiaowei and I ran to the small pond in the dark, there was a heavy rainstorm a few days ago, and there was still some rain in the small pond, and there were a few big locust trees growing sporadically around, which was gloomy and not terrible.

I don't know where I got the courage to come here, Chu Xiaowei didn't know that Mao Mao was dead, she didn't know anything, she was naturally fearless, but I watched Mao Mao sink to the bottom of the water, and the moment before he disappeared into the water, the eyes of fear and despair were deeply imprinted in my mind.

The pond is not big, but it is not small, so where should I dig it up? Chu Xiaowei tugged at my sleeve, pointed to a place and said to me, "Mao Mao said he was there." ”

I looked at the place where she was pointing, and my scalp was numb, and that was where the hairs had fallen into the water. But everyone has searched and dug before, and there is nothing at all.

"In vain, I have been guarding the cold kiln for 20 years, but I didn't expect to be such an ungrateful lover!"

Grandma told me that tonight she was singing the story of Xue Pinggui and Wang Baochuan.

The small pond was dark all around, and the sound of gongs and drums and everyone's cheers could be heard not far away, and my heart was a little calmer.

Chu Xiaowei and I took out the plastic bags we brought from home, wrapped our feet and calves, and then stepped on the mud and carefully walked to the place where Mao Mao fell into the water. I took a shovel to make mud, and she used a hoe to hoe, and the hoe was heavy, and her strength was already small, and she had just been sick, and she was out of breath after two pounds. I wasn't much better, and after digging for a while, my hands felt weak.

I was about to tell her if we should take a break, but the hoe under her wheel made a "bang" sound. She looked up at me and said excitedly, "It's hard down there, like concrete." ”

The two of us suddenly became energetic, the tiredness on our bodies was swept away, and we were about to pick up the shovel to dig, Chu Xiaowei patted me on the shoulder and said timidly: "Someone!" I was startled, and when I looked behind me, a tall figure behind the school building quietly touched the wall.

I was startled, didn't dare to make a sound, pulled Chu Xiaowei to climb ashore, ran to hide under a locust tree, there was a burst of warm applause from the playground, it turned out that it was intermission time, and the gongs and drums stopped after a few beats.

The small pond was instantly dead silent.

The figure slowly approached, and then went down the pond, and came towards us, and our hearts were in our throats. Luckily, he walked to the spot where we were digging and stopped.

It was dark, and there wasn't a hint of wind. We can't see his face, his figure.

He also carried a shovel, and he lifted it and poked it into the mud, and then pulled it out, and changed places, and poked it down again, and then pulled it out, and then poked it again, and poked it again. Until finally, he found the piece of land that Chu Xiaowei and I had just discovered, and the shovel poked down no longer soft but made a sound, and he picked up the shovel and began to dig.

The two of us hid under the big locust tree, and we didn't dare to make a sound.

He dug for a while, but it was too dark for us to see what was underneath.

"Boom!" Suddenly, it turned out that the play began to sing again, Chu Xiaowei and I were staring at this figure intently, but the sudden sound of gongs and drums sounded like a huge thunder, and our bodies shook and screamed in fright. By the time we both covered our mouths, it was too late, and the man paused in his hand, paused, and walked toward us with a shovel.

I immediately pulled up Chu Xiaowei and ran to the playground desperately, Chu Xiaowei looked back and gasped and said, "Shovel!" And hoes! Didn't take it! ”

As I ran, I said, "Hurry up and run, and don't care about shovels and hoes!" ”

The two of us ran with our heads bored, and just wanted to run to the playground quickly and go to find adults, but suddenly bumped into a person, Chu Xiaowei and I fell to the ground, and the lights on the stage could shine on this side, I looked up, and a tall young man appeared in front of me, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, and dark skin, seeing me and Chu Xiaowei falling to the ground in an embarrassed manner, grinning, revealing a mouthful of white teeth: "Xiao Shouzi, you are really capable, you hooked up with other people's little girls, don't worry, I won't tell your adults." ”

Hearing this familiar voice, I immediately breathed a sigh of relief, this person is Mao Mao's brother Da Mao, I call him Brother Da Mao, when I go to Mao Mao's house to play on weekdays, I often see him, he is very easy-going, and likes to joke with me.

Just now, Chu Xiaowei and I were discovered by the person in the pond, and when I saw Brother Da Mao at this time, I was like seeing a savior, panting for breath because of the violent running, and said to him: "Brother Da, Brother Da Mao, I was scared to death just now, Chu Xiaowei and I were talking in the back....... Just halfway through my words, a cold little hand covered my mouth, and then Chu Xiaowei pulled me up, and I didn't know where she got so much strength, pulling me to run desperately to the playground.

I asked curiously, "What are you doing?" ”

Chu Xiaowei's voice was filled with a cry: "His legs, woo ......"

I asked curiously, "His legs?" Whose legs? What happened to the legs? ”

Chu Xiaowei said in horror: "Brother Da Mao's legs." ”

I frowned and said, "What's wrong with Big Hair's leg?" ”

Chu Xiaowei said tremblingly: "Brother Da Mao has mud on his legs!" ”

I suddenly broke out in a cold sweat, that person in the pond is Brother Da Mao? The speed of my two feet increased, and I ran faster than Chu Xiaowei at once. Fortunately, it's not far from the stage, and everyone is in front. On the stage, "Wang Baochuan" was wearing a shabby cloth shirt, kneeling on the ground and crying sadly, a majestic person dressed as a general stood behind, with a guilty face, it should be Xue Pinggui. The stage was full of familiar villagers, and the old secretary of the village seemed to be fascinated, his face full of sadness, immersed in Wang Baochuan's tragic experience; Grandma and Grandma Chu Xiaowei sat together, pointing at "Xue Pinggui" while watching the play; The famous second-rate son Hudong sat in the corner of the front desk, knocking melon seeds on Erlang's legs......

When I saw my grandmother, my heart instantly settled down, and I was about to open my mouth to call my grandmother, but suddenly my eyes went dark, and the whole world instantly quieted down, the sound of gongs and drums and singing was all gone, and the stage, actors, and villagers disappeared in an instant, and suddenly disappeared in front of my eyes.

I still have my mouth open, but I don't dare to shout the word "grandma" anyway. Cold sweat trickled down my back, and my whole body stiffened.

The school was quiet, it was pitch black all around, I stood alone on the playground, I could faintly see the pair of single parallel bars in the dark, standing there indifferently, the doors and windows of the classroom were black, like a bottomless mouth, the row of big trees next to the playground, lifeless, their shadows seemed to be moving in the dark, and when you looked at it, it was obviously still, as if you knew you were looking at it.

I still hold Chu Xiaowei's hand in my hand, although her little hand is cold and cold, but it can make me feel some stability. Suddenly, my hands became wet, as if water was flowing, and I turned my head to look, and the whites of my eyes were met like dead fish.

Suddenly, my whole body went numb.

It was a chubby little boy, his face was as pale as frost, bloodless, as if he had just climbed up from the water, his whole body was drenched, and his eyes were only whites, staring at me deadly.

I know this boy, he is a good friend of mine, his name is Mao Mao.

At this moment, I feel that what I am holding in my hand is not stability, but extreme terror. I didn't dare to move, and I was swaying all over.

He just stared at me silently, then tilted his head, opened his mouth, and a stream of water came down his mouth.

"Don't go, I'm still under the pond, find me."

Then he laughed, and the water was still running from his mouth, and it seemed like it would never end.

Then I fainted.

When I woke up again it was daytime, I was lying on the bed at my grandmother's house, and when I saw my grandmother's kind face, I couldn't help it anymore, and I threw myself into my grandmother's arms and cried "wow". My grandmother hugged me distressedly and said with a smile: "Don't cry, don't cry, you have nightmares again, right?" Wake up and you'll be fine. ”

Is it just a dream? I wiped my tears and looked at the sun outside, the memory of last night in my head was foggy, and it seemed that it was really just a dream.

My grandmother touched my head and said, "Today is Saturday, your homeroom teacher said that she would make up lessons for you and Xiao Weiwei, you quickly brush your teeth and wash your face, and after eating, grandma will send you to school." ”

A few days ago, Chu Xiaowei and I took a few days off because of illness, and the class fell behind, so the head teacher picked this weekend to make up for the two of us. At the school gate, I saw Chu Xiaowei, who was pale, and hurriedly ran forward and asked, "Did you have a nightmare yesterday?" I had a dream yesterday and it was so scary, so scary! ”

When Chu Xiaowei heard my words, she was stunned for a while, then her eyebrows furrowed and she began to cry. Her grandmother comforted Chu Xiaowei, glared at me and said, "My family Weiwei had a nightmare last night, and I'm still scared, you stinky boy don't mention dreaming today!" My grandmother also knocked me on the head and scolded: "You made the little girl cry early this morning, be honest at school today, don't bully others." ”

I nodded dumbly, and then took Chu Xiaowei's little hand and walked into the school, her hand was still a little cold.

The head teacher is a little short-sighted, wearing a pair of small glasses, and when she takes it off, she is a big beauty, she is almost thirty years old, but she is like a little girl in her early twenties. Before entering the classroom, I heard her nice voice come out: "I'm sorry, principal, it's impossible between us. ”

Then came the principal's voice: "Xiaoyu, you know my heart, I don't want to come to this remote primary school for you with a good future." I know that Zhang Fushan's matter is also very sad in your heart, and I am also sad, but ......"

Zhang Fushan, this name is very familiar, I thought about it for a while before I remembered that it was the name of the previous principal, and he had been away from the school for five years.

"Enough!" The head teacher interrupted him angrily, "I don't know what you are talking about, principal, the child is coming soon, I'm going to get ready for class, if there is nothing else, please go out first." ”

Then I saw the principal come out of the classroom in a gray manner, and I subconsciously thought that he had said hello, but as if he hadn't heard, he walked up to the second floor. Looking at his figure, my body was agitated.

His figure was like the man from last night.
