Follow the mountain road in Chenjiaping and walk two or three miles into the mountain, you will find a water pool covering an area of ​​more than 100 feet.

Normally, the water in this pool is crystal clear, but at this time of year, it is the time when floods occur.

Because of the heavy downpour for several days in the past few days, the water in this pool has swelled a lot.

The water pool that was once so clear began to become turbid.

It's not just this year. In fact, this pool looks like this every year at this time.

Although the weather was not good a few days ago, today it is still sunny and windy. Even if you wear a vest, you will not feel the slightest chill under the sun.

Near the pool, several children were playing around.

Although their parents often warn them not to play in water, especially not to play in this pool.

But children are children after all, and they always like what their parents say to go in one ear and out the other.

These children were all barefoot and had a great time playing in the shallow water of the pool.

"Ah!" At this moment, a sudden scream came.

There were originally four or five children playing by the pool. At this time, one of the children didn't know what was going on.

Suddenly, he staggered and fell into the pool.

Originally, the water beside the pool was not very deep. I don't know whether it was because of the child's random struggle or some other reason, but the child sank slowly and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

This scene happened very suddenly.

Although the other children saw it, they were panicked and didn't know what to do except scream loudly.

"It's not good! It's not good! Xiaozhi fell into the water!"

After being stunned for a while, the remaining children soon woke up and hurriedly climbed ashore, shouting for help and scattering in all directions.

There are still more than ten families near this pool.

As this group of children shouted for help, a dozen adults soon came running towards them.

Although they are not relatives of the child who fell into the water, the people in the mountains are simple and honest.

Besides, they are all from the village. If something happens to someone's child, they can't just ignore it.

When they ran to the pool, the men took off their coats without saying a word and plunged into the pool.

Although the children clearly pointed out the place where the child named Xiaozhi fell into the water, these men searched the area for a long time and found nothing at all.

"Xiao Zhi! Xiao Zhi..."

More and more people gathered at the waterhole. At this time, a woman looked crazy and rushed over with her hair disheveled.

Pushing aside the crowd, she knelt down by the pool, tears welling up from the woman's eyes.

This woman is the mother of the child who fell into the water.

"Everyone, please help! Save my son! Save my son!"

She knelt on the ground and kept begging everyone present. Her mind seemed to be a little unclear due to this serious blow.

That is to say, she couldn't swim, otherwise, she would have jumped into the pool immediately.

"Plop! Plop!" The sound of falling into the water sounded again.

A dozen men had also taken off their coats and began to search for traces of the child in the water.

"Hey! Several children drown in this pool every year at this time."

"It's been so long and I still haven't found any trace of Xiaozhi. I'm afraid the odds are against me!"

"These kids are just disobedient. I don't know how many times I've warned them, but they always like to run here!"

…………

In his ears, he listened to the discussions around him.

This woman's face was ashen. She rolled up her trousers. She couldn't swim, so she was already preparing to go into the pool herself.

"Damn it! No, you can't swim, let me go down!" At this moment, a big hand stretched out and grabbed the woman's hand.

The owner of this big hand is a middle-aged man. Judging from his panting appearance, he must have just arrived here.

"His father, if something happens to Xiaozhi, I won't be able to live anymore!"

Looking at the middle-aged man in front of her, the woman burst into tears.

This middle-aged man was Na Xiaozhi's father. He was busy with farm work in the fields. When he heard the news that his child had an accident, he rushed over immediately, but he was still a little late.

"Jianguo, you should keep an eye on your daughter-in-law. She is a blessing, not a curse, and she cannot be avoided."

"So many villagers have gone into the water to look for your Xiaozhi, and there is no shortage of you!"

At this time, an old man holding a cane came over and gently patted the middle-aged man's shoulder. He comforted him with kind words.

"Yes! Third uncle!" The middle-aged man named Jianguo bit his lip and nodded in agreement.

The water pool was not big. Logically speaking, with more than ten or twenty men searching up and down, inside and out, they should have searched the entire water pool long ago.

But the strange thing is that after several hours, there is still no trace of the child named Xiaozhi who fell into the water.

Despite this, the group of men searching for Xiao Zhi in the pool still had no intention of giving up.

Of course, it is definitely necessary to go ashore to rest occasionally during this period.

In the past half day, more and more people were watching near the pool.

Even people who live several miles away from here come here specially to join in the fun.

"This child is so pitiful. How could he fall into this puddle for no reason?"

"Yes! This pool is so big. I searched for a long time but couldn't find any trace. If you want to see someone in this life, even if they are dead, there should be a corpse!"

"You don't understand. Aren't the children who drown in this pool every year like this?"

"Every time, when I first fell, I couldn't find it when I tried to look for it, but after a few hours, the body came up on its own."

"As far as I'm concerned, this pool is very evil. Maybe it's that thing that's attracting people in the pool!"

…………

There are more people watching, and more and more people are talking about it.

The whole thing is becoming more and more mysterious as people talk about it.

"Gui Laren, are there ghosts in this world? If there are ghosts, then maybe I can be considered a ghost too!"

Wearing a large vest and dragging a pair of tattered slippers at his feet, Chen Hai was mixed in with the crowd.

I went home last night and was scolded by my parents.

Coupled with the fact that he had broken through the distance and truly entered the realm of day travel, it had always been far away. Feeling bored, he wanted to wander around for a while.

Seeing that many people came here to watch the fun, Chen Hai naturally followed.
