The cool evening breeze of the autumn night blew from the mountains on one side of the lake, wrinkled the surface of the lake, and blew into the cols on the other side.

The mountain breeze passed through the branches of the trees, bringing with them the "rustling" sound of the leaves caressing each other; The mountain wind drifts against the slope, and the conductor of the slightly yellowed grass stalks hit each other and play a monotonous movement; The mountain breeze blows into the bushes, startling the autumn insects that inhabit the stems and leaves and begin to sing courtship songs.

At some point, the wind swept up black clouds to obscure the bright moon, and the mountain path, which had nothing to do with the lights of the world, suddenly fell into darkness. The arrival of darkness has stained the symphony of relaxation and tranquility originally raised by the wind with a strange atmosphere.

At this moment, two white rays of light that did not belong to this foothill shone out of the col, guiding two strings of hurried footsteps towards the lake at the foot of the hillside.

"Xiao Feng, follow me, pay attention to your step!" Wu Yun used the flash of his mobile phone to shine on the mountain road, and shouted to the girl behind him without looking back.

"I will!" Wei Xiaofeng replied succinctly, the breathing between his mouth and nose had become heavy.

The sky is dark and the moon is dark, and the mountain road is bumpy. But the two of them didn't care about the danger that would suddenly occur at any time, and ran wildly. Human lives are at stake, and they are in a race against time. They understand that even one second faster has one more chance of saving two lives.

I don't know if it was luck or God's blessing, the two of them reached the brick road along the lake safely without stepping on the air, stumbling, falling, or stumbling.

Wu Yun shook his head from side to side, panting and asking anxiously, "Shen Lao said that five hundred meters west along the shore of the lake, which side is the west?" ”

Fortunately, Xiao Feng was still quite calm, and after a little thought, he pointed firmly to the left: "This way!" ”

"Let's go!" Wu Yun took Xiao Feng's hand, didn't bother to wipe the beads of sweat from his forehead, and ran towards the west.

"Wu Yun......" Xiao Feng's voice was so weak that it was almost muffled by the sound of breathing.

Wu Yun turned his face slightly sideways and asked, "What's wrong?" ”

"This direction seems to be the direction in which Uncle Chen and Aunt Yue left just now."

Wu Yun's heart was cold when he heard this, and he didn't speak, but the stride under his feet was a little faster, and it seemed that the potential in his body was stimulated.

Just as they were feeling ominous, a hysterical scream came from the depths of the trees ahead.

"Wow-"

The two of them suddenly screamed and couldn't help but stop suddenly.

"This voice sounds very young, it doesn't look like Uncle Chen's!" After Wei Xiaofeng carefully analyzed the scream, he said with a little luck.

Wu Yun's heart lowered slightly, but a feeling of discomfort still clung to his nerves. He picked up Xiao Feng and continued to run forward, saying, "No matter who the owner of this voice is, he should have seen something terrifying. Eighty percent of the evil spirits have appeared, he and his partner are already on the verge of life and death, and if we don't hurry up, I'm afraid it's too late. ”

Wei Xiaofeng gasped, and didn't have the strength to say anything more, silently agreeing with Wu Yun's words in his heart.

The screams rushed into the empty night sky, the aftermath faded away, and the lakeside returned to calm, as if there had been no sound at all. At the same time, a field of reeds appeared in front of their eyes.

"That's it!" Wu Yun said a word, and immediately ran away from the brick road and rushed into the reeds. Wei Xiaofeng followed closely.

Autumn turns the stems and leaves of the reeds crisp and yellow, and if a person is not careful, the exposed skin will be scratched. Wu Yun didn't care about the stinging, vigorously pushed away the reeds blocking in front of him, and moved forward as fast as he could, while helping Xiao Feng behind him to open a smooth road.

Pushing aside the last layer of reeds, there was a flat lakeshore meadow in front of him, and Wu Yun found two figures standing next to each other in the darkness. He hurriedly cast the light of his phone's flash at the two figures.

The two people who were very familiar to Wu Yun and Wei Xiaofeng, Chen Wendong and Yue Lin, were standing with each other's shoulders facing the lake, stunned. Look at the expressions on their faces, shocked, sad, lost, helpless...... Complex and tangled. Their lips twitched slightly, as if they were reading words, and they couldn't hear what was being said far away. But instead of shifting their gaze from the sudden illumination of the flashing lights, they kept staring at the surface of the lake, as if there was something incredible on the lake.

Wu Yun and Wei Xiaofeng saw that the old couple was safe and sound, and their hearts were a little more relaxed. Then they turned the light of their mobile phones to the lake where the old couple's eyes were focused, but there was nothing on the lake, no figures resembling murderous spirits, no floating corpses, only the slight waves of the night wind. However, at the corner where the light hit, a foot appeared, and Wu Yun hurriedly adjusted the angle of the light, and found a pair of young men and women lying on the shore close to the lake with their eyes closed, their faces pale and bloodless.

"Won't it?" Wu Yun and Wei Xiaofeng gasped, and their hearts throbbed.

- Are we a step too late?

Wu Yun said: "Xiao Feng, you take care of your uncle and aunt, I'll go see those two." ”

"Well, be careful." Wei Xiaofeng hurriedly ran to Chen Wendong and Yue Lin's side, but they didn't seem to realize her and Wu Yun's arrival, they didn't move like wax figures, but their lips were still moving slightly.

"Uncle Chen, Aunt Yue, are you alright?" Xiao Feng shook the arms of the two gently, but neither of them received a response. However, their body temperature and breathing are still there, and they are obviously fine. Then Xiao Feng curiously poked his ear in front of them, trying to hear what they were talking about. But the voice was faint and the sentences were intermittent, and Xiao Feng couldn't hear what they were saying even if he got closer, but he heard the word "nuenue" many times.

Speaking of Wu Yun, who went to check the situation of the couple who fell on the shore of the lake, he carefully searched the road under his feet with the light of his mobile phone's flash, and slowly approached the couple who couldn't tell whether they were dead or alive step by step.

Finally he moved over to the two men and watched them carefully through the flashing lights. The man looks about twenty-eight years old, with three or seven points of medium hair, like an ordinary white-collar worker; The woman looked two years younger than the man, with a delicate appearance and short hair that was shoulder-length. The faces of the two were calm but pale, their lips were bloodless, and they looked like dead people, but Wu Yun noticed that their chests and abdomen had a slight rise and fall with a certain rhythm. He hurriedly pressed his fingers against the couple's midriffs, feeling a faint breath, and then pressed his ear to their chest, hearing a not-so-strong heartbeat.

"It's okay, it's still alive!" Wu Yun breathed a long sigh of relief, turned his head and said to Wei Xiaofeng with a little excitement.

"Great!" Wei Xiaofeng slapped his palm, and the big stone in his heart finally landed.

Then Wu Yun hurriedly dialed 120 on his mobile phone and called the police. Although the couple is still alive, their vital signs are weak, and it is clear that their souls have been attacked by the spirits, but for some unknown reason the spirits did not kill them. However, if they are not treated in time, they will still be more than lucky. He was reluctant to call the police, because calling the police would only make things more complicated, but because of last night's incident, the police had not yet withdrawn, and when the ambulance arrived, it would inevitably alarm the police.

After doing everything he could, Wu Yun stood up and stared suspiciously at the old couple who were still looking at the empty lake with mixed emotions. He had the answer to the question of why the couple lying at his feet had survived, and then a question mark crossed his mind: Why did the old couple happen to be here?

However, he did not ask questions, because he knew that the old couple would not answer him in their current state. He just swept the surface of the nearby lake with his flashing lights, guarding against a possible resurgence of the spirit. Wei Xiaofeng silently stayed by the old couple's side, waiting for them to return to normal from their sluggish state.

There was an eerie silence at the edge of the lake for a moment, except for the sound of stems and leaves scraping between the reeds after the wind blew the lake.

After being silent for a while, Chen Wendong and Yue Lin seemed to come back to their senses, and found that the figures of Wu Yun and Wei Xiaofeng suddenly appeared in front of them, and asked in surprise, "...... you guys When did it come? ”

"Great, aunt and uncle, you're finally back to normal. I didn't react to what I called you just now, I was scared to death......" Wei Xiaofeng said with joy and happiness, "We also arrived just now." I heard a loud scream coming from here. ”

"By the way, the screams ......" Chen Wendong's face was serious and terrifying, "I just saw two people lying on the shore of the lake, what about them?" ”

Wu Yun shone the flash of his mobile phone at his feet and said, "Still lying here, fortunately, still alive." ”

Yue Lin let out a sigh of relief and patted his chest.

"That's good, that's good......" Chen Wendong muttered. But Wu Yun and Wei Xiaofeng could hear that what he was glad about was not just that the couple was still alive.

"I've called an ambulance and the police, and it should be there right away." Wu Yun looked at Chen Wendong with a solemn expression and asked, "Uncle, did you just see anything else besides the two people lying here?" ”

Seeing that Chen Wendong and Yue Lin's eyes were evasive, Wu Yun pointed to the surface of the lake and continued: "Now there is nothing on the surface of the lake, but your eyes have been staring at the lake, completely unaware of our arrival, which means that you saw something that shocked you very much before we came. Can you tell us what you saw? ”

The old couple's breathing suddenly became heavier, and they lowered their heads slightly, but did not answer.

Wei Xiaofeng pondered for a while, took a deep breath, and said slowly: "Uncle and aunt, did you see your daughter just now?" ”

As soon as the words fell, four shocked eyes focused on her face, and even Chen Wendong, who had always been moody, could not hide his shocked expression.

Wei Xiaofeng was sure of his judgment in his heart, his face did not change, and he continued calmly: "Just now, when my uncle and aunt were staring at the lake, there were words in their mouths, although I couldn't hear what you were talking about, but I heard a word repeatedly - 'nuenue', which is the nickname for the title 'child' in the dialect. So I think what you just saw was your daughter who was supposed to have passed away six years ago, right? ”
