As soon as I entered the water, I immediately subconsciously held my breath and opened my eyes to see the situation around me, but when I endured the stimulation of the mud and sand in the water and looked around, I didn't see anything unusual, and I couldn't help but wonder: what was the thing that pulled me down?

When I stretched my limbs and adjusted my posture to float to the surface, I felt that my hands and feet were so heavy that I couldn't swing them at all.

When I looked down, I saw that my hands and feet were entangled in something, as if black threads had emerged from the bottom of the water and tied them to my wrists and ankles.

I dived down to see what was holding me back. But as I dived, the black line continued to tighten, and it didn't give me a chance to relax at all. I put my hands together with all my strength and used my left hand to pull the black line on my right wrist, only to feel that the tentacles were slippery and tough, and I couldn't tear a single bit of it under the hard grasp.

"What's so powerful?" I carefully touched the black line with my hand again, and it felt smooth when I brushed it up, and it was slightly rough when I brushed it down: "This is it...... Hair? ”

As soon as this thought came to mind, I was immediately horrified, was it really like the legend that the people who had been drowned in the river would turn into water spirits, attract people in various ways, and then drag them into the water to be their companions?

Seeing that my breath was no longer enough, I looked up and saw no boat we were in, nothing was sticking into the water, only the sound of whirring water in my ears, and I could not hear anyone's shouting. Rui worries that they should have seen me fall into the water with their own eyes, how could they not do anything to save me?

At the critical moment, I thought of the dagger in my arms, which was as sharp as clay, because it was so easy to use, I gave it a good sheath, and named it "Quenching Moon" without authorization, and carried it with me day and night.

But I finally managed to put my hand to my chest, but I felt an emptiness, and the things that I had wrapped in oil paper before were gone, and my arms were empty!

Could it be that it fell off when it fell into the water? I was quite surprised, in order to prevent such a mistake, I used to use a cloth strap to tie the package firmly on my chest, no matter how easy it is!

Just when I was wondering, I only felt that the black lines wrapped around my wrists and ankles suddenly tightened, and they carried me underwater.

I had almost exhausted my breath, and as soon as my breath relaxed a little, the river rushed into my mouth and nose, choking my chest with a pain! It's over, it seems that my life is going to be reimbursed here, and at the moment of great embarrassment, one of my clearer thoughts turned out to be: Drowning this way of death is really unsatisfactory to me......

Because I grew up by the river since I was a child, drowning people can happen every year. Especially for us boys, every time school has a winter and summer vacation, the most important thing to tell us is not to go down to the river. However, under the hot summer sun, the comfort of jumping into the cool water and playing is really a supreme enjoyment, and we can't resist this attraction no matter what.

But looking at the calm river, it is inevitable that there is an undercurrent hidden somewhere, once accidentally caught in, even if you can swim, it is difficult to escape, not to mention that we can teach ourselves at most a dog planer, which is not professional at all.

Drowned people, the stomach usually swells, after a long time, the whole body is swollen, the skin of the limbs is relatively thin, a light touch will take off a layer of skin, is called "drowning gloves" by the criminal investigation, the appearance is extremely terrifying!

There is also a dangerous situation, that is, when jumping directly into the water from a high place, inexperienced people are easy to hold their breath, and suddenly choked, which will cause sudden congestion of the lungs, breathing stoppage and death. People who die for this reason have no water in their stomachs, and when they are fished up, they look like they are asleep, but after the corpse is left for a while, blood will flow from the ear holes, nose, and corners of the mouth, which is a phenomenon caused by the discharge of water choked in the lungs, and it looks like there is a great grievance.

I've seen the corpses for so many years, but when I see the drowned corpses, I still feel a little unbearable! Sometimes, when I think about it, I deeply feel that if I can choose my own way of death in the future, I must not drown! Of course, it's not good to fall to death, poisoning and the like, my ideal way to die is: die of old age.

When the consciousness gradually blurred, the painful feeling slowly disappeared, as if I had fallen asleep, and for a moment there was no image, no feeling, only a void.

I don't know how long it took to be so calm, I began to hear a soft, rhythmic "rustle" sound, like the sea water beating on the embankment, like raindrops hitting the plantains, the **** feeling came to my face, and I could smell the salty taste, but there was only darkness in front of me, and I couldn't see anything.

After such a monotonous environment lasted for a long time, the eyes became a little brighter, and some dark green stars seemed to appear in this dark curtain, they were so small, but they were so tenacious, with a fresh vitality slowly expanding, and the surroundings were filled with their whispering "purr" sounds.

The calm began to be slowly broken, and the vitality was slowly bursting out, the temperature was constantly rising, the water began to turn into vapor faster, escaping into all the surrounding spaces, and the "boom" sound kept coming from the depths of something, like something pulsating.

As the steaming process accelerated, a new color began to appear in the surrounding space, it was ochre yellow, the color and smell of the earth full of moisture, a vitality containing countless magical possibilities began to become irrepressible, and the sound of "bang" began to become the main theme.

The light finally came, everything became clear, everything was complete, as if the world had been opened, like the vicissitudes of the sea, all the sounds were converging together in an orderly manner, all the smells were fused together, it was the moment when all things were growing and one was in harmony, and suddenly there was an uproar, and some images, sounds, and smells began to appear out of place, fear, worry, anxiety, anger, ...... All kinds of uncontrollable feelings took up the whole space, making people feel oppressed, depressed and breathless, and when I was about to reach the limit, I suddenly woke up, opened my eyes, and breathed heavily, as if I had escaped death!

When I first woke up, my brain was still like a rusty old machine, creaking and squeaking, and when it finally returned to normal operation, the first thing that caught my eye was a wooden beam, and I could see the neatly stacked tiles on the roof.

Before I could turn my head to look to the side, a face suddenly appeared in my sight, almost touching the tip of my nose, startling me a lot, and I jerked together, colliding with the face.

"Ouch!" Two voices shouted at the same time, one of them was me.

And the other one...... It was a little boy sitting next to me, holding his nose and grinning at me.

I was wondering, but he had already screamed, "Wake up, wake up, why do you sit up all of a sudden?" ”

My nose hurt and hurt so much that it almost burst into tears. Seeing that he was still vibrant, he couldn't help but retort: "Who made you suddenly appear in front of me!" ”

"I heard you hum, so I'm kind enough to see if you're okay, brother! Be kind to be a donkey's liver and lungs! He said with a wrinkled nose.

Seeing that others are not big, but they talk in a set way, I can't help but laugh: "Brother Brother, how old are you?" ”

"Eight-year-old, what's wrong? I don't think you're big! He replied.

"What, I'm more than twenty years older than you, uncle!" As I spoke, I reached out to scratch his nose.

But he turned around and dodged lightly, shouting: "Uncle, you have to have a beard, you don't have a few beards, and you still want to be someone's uncle!" Holding his little face and thinking about it, he said, "Why don't you take half of each, how about calling you brother?" ”

"Brother, what is this name!" I can't accept it.

"Then Uncle is alright." He grinned.

I don't know where this difficult naughty ghost came from, I smiled helplessly: "My name is Tao Yong, you can call me by my name." ”

"Tao Yong? What is the word called? He asked professionally.

I had no choice but to say, "Zhihuan." ”

He hammered one small hand into the palm of the other, nodded and said, "Then it's decided, I'll call you Brother Zhihuan." ”

I almost squirted out with a "plop", just such a small point, and "Brother Zhihuan"! But he was so sharp-toothed, I had no choice but to nod and say, "Okay, what about you?" What's your name? ”

"I'm the seventh, it's good for you to call me Xiaoqi." He said.

"Okay, Xiao Qi, where is this? What about your family? I asked.

The little guy ignored me, looking like he had a treasure, and shouted excitedly as he ran out of the door: "Brother Zhihuan is awake!" ”

I'm the only one left in the room. I looked at the house, like an ordinary people's house, I slept on a bed with a curtain, covered with a thin quilt, everything was simply furnished, but it looked neat and orderly.

Moreover, I looked back, and there was a silk soft pillow under my head just now, and a delicate goldfish pattern was embroidered with silk thread, which looked like a girl's style. Pick up the quilt and smell it, there is also a faint fragrance, it seems that in addition to the little naughty just now, there must be a woman in this house. And putting me on such a bed shows that there is no bed for a man to sleep in at home, could it be that this woman is not a "mother", but a "sister"? I was so bored that I couldn't help but speculate.

After a while, the sound of doors opening and footsteps sounded in the courtyard, and Xiao Qi's voice was heard saying, "...... Well, the mind is quite sober, which means that the head is not broken, the getting up is very neat, the bones are fine, the words are loud and clear, the eyes are also very bright, and the middle qi is very sufficient......"

Uh, this little guy just grinded his teeth with me, and he was conducting a physical assessment on me! Listening to this tone, it looks like an old doctor, what a small ghost!

Then I heard a woman's voice say, "Yes, you are very observant!" ”

As soon as I heard this voice, my heart felt like I had been hit hard, and I immediately felt embarrassed and stunned on the spot!
