Xiaoshi Town's fire three-wheel stop, Dongsheng ended his short journey in a daze, followed the crowd and jumped off the fire three-wheeler, today's Xiaoshi Town is inexplicably a little deserted, I don't know if it's his illusion, I always feel that after entering the town, there is a feeling of being peeped, I raised my hand and patted my face, maybe I didn't wake up, I explained in my heart, and walked towards Pang Heiwa's house.

Pang Heiwa's family lives on Wenhua Street at the entrance of the town, and after walking for more than ten minutes, Dongsheng came to the intersection of Wenhua Street, and just about to walk to Pang Heiwa's house, he saw Pang Heiwa and his brother going out, "Heiwa! Dongsheng shouted, and Pang Heiwa found Dongsheng when he heard the sound, beckoned and said hello, and walked towards Dongsheng with his brother.

"Dongsheng, have you eaten it?" Pang Heiwa walked over to Dongsheng and spoke.

"I've eaten it." Winter Sheng responded. "Teacher Pang!" Then he said hello to Teacher Pang next to him, "Morning, Dongsheng." Teacher Pang replied.

"Don't eat some more, my brother and I haven't eaten yet, I'll ask you something." Pang Heiwa hugged Dongsheng and said.

"Okay, I'm worried that I haven't eaten enough for breakfast." Dongsheng only heard the first half of the sentence in his ears.

After that, the three of them came to the breakfast shop where they usually eat, ordered four steamed buns, three fritters and three bowls of soybean milk, and the three of them immediately "hooped" to eat, but Dongsheng is also a little strange, today's breakfast shop, people are not full, scattered, in the past to have breakfast in the morning, there is only a queue in advance, today is really strange, sigh in my heart, and forget about this matter to concentrate on eating.

After eating and drinking, the three of them sat there as if no one was eating, Dongsheng looked at Pang Heiwa and Teacher Pang, hesitated for a moment, and asked curiously: "Heiwa, did you ventilate your brother for what happened yesterday?" ”

"Don't mention it, Lover's Slope can't go." Pang Heiwa said helplessly.

"Why?" Dongsheng asked.

"Let's talk about it, Heiwa also listens to what my mother says." Teacher Pang took over the conversation and continued: "Dongsheng, do you know Zhou Xiaomiao? ”

Dongsheng thought for a while and said tentatively: "A girl? ”

"I'll just say, Dongsheng definitely doesn't know, I don't know him yet, I know how many hairs have grown in his crotch." Pang Heiwa hurriedly said.

Hearing this, Dongsheng glanced at Pang Heiwa, and asked Teacher Pang again, "Teacher Pang, what's wrong with Zhou Xiaomiao?" ”

"She's missing." Teacher Pang replied, and then said: "Last night, someone saw her playing with her classmates at Lover's Slope, and then she suddenly rushed towards the reservoir embankment, and her classmates shouted that she was going to jump into the river, and the people who were at Lover's Slope came to stop her, and finally she suddenly disappeared when she was in a stalemate with the crowd by the embankment.

After Mr. Pang finished speaking, he looked at Dong Sheng, waiting for him to digest this information, Dong Sheng thought for a while and said, "Suddenly disappeared?" ”

"It's not accurate, some say it disappeared suddenly, some say it fell into the riverbank, and some say it was eaten by the moonlight that suddenly brightened." After speaking, Mr. Pang coughed lightly and explained: "I also listened to my colleague who was in Lover's Po at the time. ”

"Didn't you find anything in the river?" Dongsheng didn't say it explicitly, but Pang Heiwa and Teacher Pang knew what he meant.

Pang Heiwa saw that Dongsheng was still puzzled and explained: "I didn't find anything, not even a corner of my clothes, the embankment was searched by Zhou Xiaomiao's parents, relatives and friends and people in the town, and there was a search and rescue team formed by firefighters on the river in the center of the reservoir, Zhou Xiaomiao's brother and other people with good water qualities searched in the water for most of the night and found nothing." ”

At this time, Mr. Pang said again: "Now Zhou Xiaomiao's brother is still in Xiaoshitan Reservoir, because he almost lost his temperature and drowned, the search and rescue team did not allow him to go into the water again, but he still insisted on searching on the shore, Zhou Xiaomiao's mother was in a coma because of too much grief, and Zhou's father took care of her at home." ”

Hearing this, Dongsheng was silent, he thought about how sad Liu Laohan would be if he was Zhou Xiaomiao, and couldn't help but want to cry, the atmosphere became a little dull, Teacher Pang saw that Pang Heiwa and Dongsheng didn't speak, so he raised his hand and patted the two teenagers and said, "Cheer up, it's not your fault." ”

Dong Sheng said with some frustration: "Teacher Pang, can I go and help?" ”

"Of course you can, Heiwa and I also wanted to talk to you about this just now, we may not be able to play on the weekend, there are more important things." Teacher Pang replied.

"Well, I see." Dongsheng said.

After talking, the three of them set off to the Xiaoshitan Reservoir, on the way to the Xiaoshitan Reservoir, they saw some people stained with mud coming back, it should be the people who participated in the search and rescue last night, ten minutes later, the three of them crossed the mountain and came to the Lover's Slope, today's Lover's Slope stands a lot of people, and only during the New Year can there be such a flow of people, but unfortunately today is not a festive festival, everyone here is looking for it, the neighbors in Xiaoshi Town are acquaintances for many years, and you can meet old acquaintances when you go out and walk three steps, The people in the town knew that Zhou Lurou's daughter was drowning, and they all spontaneously came to help find it, thinking that the villagers would help a little bit.

Dongsheng and the three of them walked through the crowd and came to the side of the reservoir, today's reservoir is exceptionally calm, if it weren't for the water waves of the boat of the central search and rescue team in the distance, maybe the entire Xiaoshitan Reservoir would really become a pool of stagnant water, Dongsheng wondered if he had an illusion, it was too calm, even the ripples of the living water flowing downstream, and the noise were a little inaudible, like a monster who had been hungry for many, many years, after eating enough for the first time and even eating, after savoring the extreme deliciousness of his heart, Lying there enjoying the lazy afternoon sun, everything was so calm and peaceful, Dongsheng suddenly shivered, he felt an inexplicable malice, under the strange tranquility in front of him, the malice deeply stimulated his skin, as if to tell him that he was also some kind of extreme delicacy, so that he couldn't help clenching his fists, and cold sweat flowed down his forehead.

Pang Heiwa, who was standing next to him, looked at the sweat on his forehead and said in surprise: "Brother Dongsheng, why is it like this, in this winter, you sweat after walking two steps?" Pang Heiwa's eyes rolled, and she put her head into Dongsheng's ear and whispered, "You got up this morning and rushed?" After speaking, he raised his hand to make a pistol shape, and the sound of "biubiubiu" came out of his mouth.

"Fuck off!" Dong Sheng sneered, but he was so teased that the feeling just now was gone, shaking his head, Dong Sheng looked at the man on the other side of the reservoir, the clothes that were repeatedly wet because of the residual water droplets were tightly glued to his body, but he was still looking for it on the shore without saying a word, if he could lift the entire reservoir and sift it again, he would definitely do it, Pang Heiwa saw Dong Sheng looking at the man, so he said: "Zhou Shen, Zhou Xiaomiao's brother, has not rested since he found out that Zhou Xiaomiao was missing. Pang Heiwa raised her thumbs after speaking, and then said: "If I had such an older brother, I would definitely not think about marrying a sister-in-law." ”

"Bang!" "You kid!" Teacher Pang just wanted to help with the search, but he scolded and came back and gave Pang Heiwa a big head in the pocket, "Look, this is the gap between my brother and my brother." Pang Heiwa rolled her eyes and said with a horn on her lips.

"Don't talk about the calf, help quickly, Brother Heixia," Dongsheng said helplessly.

"Okay," Pang Heiwa quickly agreed.

Then the two followed Mr. Pang, joined the surrounding search and rescue crowd, a morning in the search and rescue process spent quickly, to the meal, the three really did not find any clues, so they decided to go to dinner first, and then continue to search in the afternoon, after the discussion, the three of them returned to the town, passing by the lover's slope, just met Zhou's father pulling Zhou Shen back, "I don't go back, I can't find my little sister, I won't go!" Zhou Shen said stubbornly.

Father Zhou's eyes were bloodshot because he stayed up all night, he looked at Zhou Shen with a haggard face, and said in a hoarse voice: "Go back and have a mouthful of food, and look at your mother, if you also fall, the Zhou family will be doomed, hey......." ”

After hearing this, Zhou Shen was silent for a while, and then followed Zhou's father towards the town.

Dongsheng and the three of them looked at this scene, and didn't know how to speak, until Zhou's father and Zhou Shen left, the three of them glanced at each other and continued to set off, "Hey", Pang Heiwa, who couldn't hold back, sighed and hesitated: "Will it ...... I said, what if you were captured by a youkai? Otherwise, how could such a big living person disappear all at once? Didn't even find a single hair! ”

"There are too many things that science can't explain, maybe the current science can't explain it, and when science and technology are developed in the future, new technologies should have a way." Mr. Pang explained appropriately based on the principle of receiving higher education.

"Okay" Pang Heiwa replied, and said in her heart that I was only in the sixth grade, and I didn't understand what you said, but I agreed.

Dongsheng was silent and didn't speak, he felt that the feeling of voyeurism had weakened, but the malice he felt before had not reappeared, it was really strange, "Dongsheng, let's go." Pang Heiwa saw that he was in a daze and did not follow, so she turned around and shouted.

"Come on." In reply, Dongsheng hurriedly followed.

Dongsheng followed Pang Heiwa to his house, and Pang's father and Pang's mother had already prepared the meal, "Dongsheng, sit down!" Sit down! Seeing Dongsheng coming, Pang's mother greeted warmly, "Uncle, good sister-in-law." Dongsheng greeted Pang's father and Pang's mother, "Mm-hmm, sit up and eat." Father Pang said, "Sit down!" Pang Mu also urged.

So Dongsheng and the Pang family had lunch, probably because they helped search and rescue all morning, the three of them were very hungry, and they didn't say anything, only Pang's father drank a little wine, where to say that Dongsheng was sensible, Pang Heiwa learned more and so on, and Pang's mother was vigorous to Dongsheng with vegetables, Dongsheng was polite, and the hand and bowl were not refused, just one made a force, after lunch, Dongsheng breathed a sigh of relief, as if he was going to starve to death if he ate slowly, "hahaha", Pang's father smiled and said: "It's still to see Dongsheng eat hard, I can see that I have a more appetite. ”

"You're called Hunting." Pang Heiwa added to the blockage in time.

"You kid talks a lot," the slightly drunk Pang father scolded.

Pang's mother was cleaning up the dishes and chopsticks in the back kitchen at this time, Pang Heiwa glanced at the back kitchen, and asked in a low voice: "Dad, you give me a thorough explanation, Zhou Xiaomiao's matter, I think something is wrong." "After that, he glanced at his brother, which means that this wave of me has rushed, you can lie down.

Teacher Pang looked at his nose and nose, but his ears were erected.

Dongsheng also came to the spirit, and looked at Father Pang with his ears concentratingly, Father Pang looked at the three of them like this, and was rarely silent, in fact, the contractor of Xiaoshitan Reservoir is the Pang family, Mr. Pang's enlarged version of Father Pang, raised his thick black hand, clasped the top of the head of the Mediterranean Sea with his big hand covered with calluses, and by the way, he brushed the few remaining stubbornness, "The child has grown up" sighed, and then said: "Hey, there are some things that are not good for you, Erwa, when you become an adult, you will naturally understand." Father Pang paused and said, "Now I will only say one word to the two of you, stay away from that reservoir, and it is better not to go there at night or alone." After speaking, they squinted their eyes slightly, as if they were slightly drunk and about to take a nap, and the three of them knew when they saw Father Pang like this, and this matter could only be done for this.

After lunch, the three of them went to the Xiaoshitan Reservoir to help, but still found nothing, and it continued until the end of the weekend without the slightest clue, and when they got home, Dongsheng asked Liu Laohan, Liu Laohan was also confused by the dry smoke, but there was a thoughtful look in those cloudy eyes.

Sunday night, because tomorrow to go to school, the time is still early winter to fall asleep, Liu Laohan also lay on the bed in his house to sleep, at midnight, the sound of "click" dead branches being stepped on sounded, "whew" impermeable hall room blowing a breeze, the door was quietly grinned open a gap, and quietly closed back, Liu Laohan, who was sleeping in the back room, has been standing silently in the small courtyard, the dense dark clouds on the ebony village cover most of the moonlight, but can still vaguely see the comer, It was a biao-shaped black man, with a tiger's back and a bear's waist, bulging muscles and muscles, and a terrible breath, the biao-shaped black man grinned and showed a mouthful of white teeth, and said in a deep voice: "Third master, I haven't seen you for a long time." ”

"It's not long ago, I just talked about it last time." Liu Laohan also said in a low voice.

"Mom, don't pretend." After Pang's father finished grinning, he found a rattan chair and sat down, and the rattan chair made an overwhelming "crunch" sound, as if to say "my life is resting".

"Tap! Don't make a noise about my grandchildren. Liu Laohan warned and sat down.

Then Liu Laohan asked, "Tell me, what's going on?" ”

"The cage has a hole, something leaked out......." Father Pang said sullenly.

"It's not that simple, this is a human life, you know, the people who died in accidents in Xiaoshi Town for so many years can be counted on one hand." Liu Laohan said leisurely while smoking a cigarette.

"Pang Meng, let's be honest, otherwise I won't care, you know, when you have red left, I haven't wavered." Liu Laohan said again.

After hearing this, Pang Heiwa's father, Pang Meng, muttered, "That's not shaking, that's not shaking." ”

"Huh?!" Liu Laohan glanced at him when he heard this.

Pang Meng shrugged his shoulders and said solemnly: "Third Master, let's tell you this, this matter has to start from three thousand years......." ”

"Stop, I can't hear the dawn of the day?" Liu Laohan shook his cigarette pole and said.

"Didn't you tell me the truth?" Pang Meng said helplessly.

Liu Laohan sighed and said, "Pick the key point!" ”

"Okay." Pang Meng responded, and then said: "A hundred years ago, the cage was broken, but we had no way to repair it, so we could only arrange for people to be stationed nearby. ”

"Is there a way to fix it now?" Liu Laohan asked.

"There's no way, those who know a little bit are dead, and even if they can, they can't fix it, there's no medium." Pang waved his hand fiercely.

"Hey", Liu Laohan didn't know how many times he sighed tonight, took a puff of cigarette, and asked tentatively: "Do you win the fight?" Hearing this, Pang Meng thought silently for a while, and finally shook his head.

Liu Laohan rolled his eyes, and was about to get up and go to the house, Pang Meng touched his Mediterranean Sea and said, "Third master, what are you doing here?" ”

"Pack up your coffin, take my grandchildren, and go to my son." Old man Liu said without looking back.

"Hey, misunderstanding, I mean I don't know." Pang Meng said embarrassedly, and then said, "Then you don't care about your other children?" ”

Liu Laohan spat on the old phlegm to the side and said, "Then come back and fight to the death!" ”

After speaking, Liu Laohan sat back and said, "Tell me how to deal with it." ”

Pang Meng scratched his chin and said: "I have already told my father, his old man is going to let people seal the Xiaoshitan Reservoir, and no one is allowed to go anywhere at night, observe and observe first, if it really comes out, go up side by side, get it!" As he spoke, he squeezed his fist and let out a "Bang!" Voice.

“Duang！” "A little sound", Liu Laohan knocked on Pang Meng's head with a cigarette stick and said.

Pang Meng didn't care, smiled silently, and said, "Then it's decided, you always wait for my news." ”

"Hmm." Liu Laohan answered, and saw Pang Meng stand up, bend his legs slightly, and said again: "Go to the door!" ”

"Oh, okay." Pang Meng agreed, and then walked towards the courtyard gate, when Pang Meng pushed open the courtyard door and was about to step out, Liu Laohan remembered something and asked, "Does the Zhou family know?" ”

"The Zhou family has been broken, so let's treat it as a missing person."

"Hmm."

The courtyard door closed gently, Pang Meng had disappeared into the night, Liu Laohan closed the door, returned to the inner room and lay down, but in the silent night, there was a helpless sigh, and the taste of each was only experienced by those who were here, with the sound of Dongsheng's steady and soothing breathing, the night was calm again.
