Chapter 9
Fumbling, his hands slowly poked around, and suddenly he touched a hard and cold object with uneven lines and corners.What did you touch?

After some estimation, he thought it should be a big rock, and it turned out that he was sitting next to the big rock.But where did the stone come from in the middle of the road?It seems that there are only stones on the shallows by the Luo River!Thinking about it this way, I was afraid for a while, because I had unknowingly deviated from the original road, walked through the large thorn forest between the road and the river, and walked to the river beach. If I went down, I would probably walk into the river.what happened?
Before A could figure it out, suddenly a huge force came from under his feet, as if a pair of crude hands tightly bound his feet and pulled him towards the brightest place in front of his eyes.The legs seemed about to be pulled off, and the crackling sound of the joints made A subconsciously immediately hugged the big rock that had just been detected with both arms.He relied on the solid stone to resist the inexplicable strange force, trying to keep himself from moving to the left.Because he knew that if he continued to move towards the brightest place, he might be dragged into the water. At that time, he probably had no hope of surviving.

In the next second, something approached him, and furry things began to crawl on his body.Like a mouse entangled by a giant python, he felt that his whole body was bound by vines, unable to move at all.The breath in his chest was squeezed out, and it became difficult to breathe, but the consciousness to persevere became clearer.

The function of the eyes has been lost at this time, except that he can still see clearly on the avenue, he can't even see the monster that is tied up in front of him and drags his body to the left.

Jingle bells, there seemed to be the sound of bicycle bells in the distance.There is help, someone is here.

The hearing is particularly sensitive at this time, and the sound of the bicycle bumping up and down on the dirt road indicates that there are pedestrians passing by on the road.

Hope comes, can A be saved?What is it that traps him?
Sure enough, when the stalemate with Wei Li reached the point where he could hardly hold on anymore, a car stopped behind him, and someone was walking towards him.

One step, two steps, ears replaced eyes, conveying information to A.

A pair of hands, a pair of human hands grabbed his arms, and began to give A strength slowly.With a swish, the power that bound him disappeared from his body, and he didn't know where he shrank.Strength also began to return to the body continuously, like a baby seeing the first ray of light in this world. A was pleasantly surprised to see a real person standing beside him.The function of the eyes finally recovered, and before he had time to find out where he was, the man helped him up.

"Have you suffered from heat stroke? You seem to have fainted while holding the stone?" It turned out that it was Old Zhao from Wusi Village who saved him.

"Benefactor, if it weren't for you, I would have died just now!"

"What's wrong? It's not that serious. How did you end up on the river beach? Could it be that something happened to you?" The man was a little puzzled. It stands to reason that anyone would faint on the stones on the river beach at noon. He was on the sidelines, holding his head with both hands, which was very strange.

"You don't know, something was pulling me into the water just now! I was walking on the road, but suddenly my eyes couldn't see where the real road was, and my legs didn't work, and I kept leading myself into the water. Walking inside, I was unable to be dragged into the water by holding this big rock in the end. I was still conscious, but I felt that some furry claws grabbed my legs and kept pulling me, and there were other things entangled. My waist makes me unable to move, if it weren't for you, I probably wouldn't be able to hold on and was pulled into the water and drowned..." A then shared the experience just now, he didn't know what to do other than being grateful Express your thanks.

"No way, is there really a water monster?" Upon hearing this, the truth of the child's death seemed to have slowly surfaced.

If there is something in the water that is causing trouble, that's fine.

A's heart that was beating violently just now finally returned to its normal frequency, and he didn't intend to say anything more at the moment, the most important thing was to go home quickly, his body still seemed to be in some pain, presumably it was injured by that strange thing just now.

"Benefactor, thank you for saving your life, but now my house is hot and I'm still waiting for me to go back to eat. If you have time, I invite you to my house for a drink and a meal. Now I'm leaving!"

"It's fine if you're fine. I'm just passing by, and I'm from the folks in the village. Why are you being polite? Then let's go together, my house will be there soon, remember to come to my house for a drink of tea when you pass by in the future."

After A went back, he took off his shirt and found that his body was covered with purple and purple scratches, from the chest to the abdomen, which was extremely terrifying.After Lao Zhao returned home, he quickly told the village head and the parents of the children who had died.After everyone's unanimous discussion, they felt that this matter had to be a trivial matter, and they had to find out the truth immediately.

In the afternoon of that day, the village head led all the villagers to use sand as a temporary dam to intercept the river upstream of the child's accident site, and the same method was used downstream to intercept the river.

Three or four water pumps work day and night, and part of the pumped water is discharged to the weir pond and part of it is used to irrigate the rice.On the third day, the river began to dry up slowly, and the riverbed near the edge was gradually exposed.

The water level gradually decreased, and finally everyone found a long-haired water monster struggling and writhing in the muddy water two or three meters away from A's accident site. Not a single face could tell exactly like that known animal.

Its limbs are extraordinarily long, about one and a half meters, they can bend like water snakes, and they are extremely powerful.Five or six men caught the water monkey with fishing nets and dragged it ashore. It took them more than ten minutes to drag it ashore.

After landing, the water monkey didn't move much, as if it couldn't breathe out of the water.

After a few struggles, it died completely.Open the mouth of the water monkey. The strange thing is that it only has four teeth, which are not sharp, and there are gills in the lower jaw. It is really an aquatic animal.

It turned out that the water monster that pulled people into the water was this little thing?The world is so big, full of surprises!

But why A had delusions at that time, lost the function of his eyes and legs, and his body was out of his control. Until now, no one has been able to give a scientific explanation.

The remains of those children who died were finally found, but they were beyond recognition.When they were discovered, all four children were buried deep in the mud, covered in black mud, emitting a foul smell.

God's will tricks people, sometimes people are no match for animals, only speechless...

Since moving to Wusi Village, the four children in the family quickly became friends with the Er Huzi in the village. They ran around the village all day while there was no one at home, doing mischievous things a lot.Either the old man Zhang's chickens were driven out today so that they dare not go back to their nests, or tomorrow they secretly spoiled all the cucumbers in Uncle Liu's field.

So, not long after we moved here, everyone in the village knew that the new family had a naughty boy, Xiao Ping'er, who was even worse than Er Huzi.But fortunately, grandparents are kind and good at helping neighbors, so no one complains at home.Children, don’t they all play tricks in the same way when they were young, it’s fine if it’s not a big deal, those who are not mischievous are girl dolls, boys are the same.

It's summer again in a blink of an eye. Since the village responded to the call of the superiors to plant trees, the forests on the mountain are lush and lush as soon as the summer begins, and it is so dense that it is difficult for a person to squeeze in.Shu Yiduo even brought more pheasants in the mountains. Occasionally, when I sat at home and listened carefully, I could distinguish the crowing of pheasants in the woods.

In the scorching summer, the heat was unbearable, and the water in the river was also scorched by the sun. Except for swimming and catching fish and shrimp in the morning and evening, the children turned their attention to the dense forest in the back mountain.

"Er Huzi, it's so hot today, there's no way to go down the river, why don't we go to the back mountain to catch pheasants and roast them, it must be cool in the mountains."

"Xiao Ping'er, let's...not go to this back mountain, it's very dangerous there, there are wild dogs on the mountain, they will pick up children to eat..." Er Huzi frowned, with a hint of worry and fear in his eyes .Apparently, Erhuzi still has lingering fears about the incident of stealing ghosts in the bamboo forest in the back. When it is mentioned, he wants to stop immediately, as if the past is too bad to look back on.But it was after hearing the story from the villagers that my father and the others became even more curious.The four little ghosts who had never experienced this before naturally wanted to go forward to explore more and more, so despite trying to persuade Er Huzi not to go, the Houshan Expedition Team was honorably established under the call of their father.Of course, there are only four little ones in my family, my uncle Daping, my father Xiaoping and my two aunts. At that time my uncle was only ten years old and my father was about seven or eight years old.

Just do what you say, obviously Er Huzi's wild dog talk didn't make them quit. With their hearts full of adventure, they felt more and more that their ideas were great.But there really are wild dogs on the mountain, it's just that my father and the others were lucky that they didn't encounter them that time.Prepare flints, slingshots, sickles, a thick wooden stick for each person, and a pot of water. Under the leadership of his father, the Houshan expedition team set off with great vigor.

It has to be said that the planner of this expedition was very thoughtful, and of course this decision proved to be of great significance in the end.The four children set off from the foot of the mountain, followed the original rough path, and waved sickles all the way to cut off the branches of trees blocking the way, and marched mightily into the depths of the dense forest to explore the mysteries of the mountain forest.This process is exciting, and victory is just ahead. I saw four small figures jumping, laughing and making noise, and ran towards the delicious pheasant in my mind.

As soon as I entered the mountain forest, I immediately felt a different comfort from the outside world.The lush leaves block the scorching sun above the head, except for the shadows cast by the light from the gaps in the leaves, there is only an overwhelming cool air, just like being in today's air-conditioned room, isolated from the heat and having unprecedented coolness and freshness .Accompanied by the chirping of birds and cicadas, the sound of pheasants flapping their wings as they passed by, and the wild flowers in full bloom around their feet, the four children danced excitedly as if they had entered a new world.Regardless of the dense forest on the outermost side, the space inside is actually quite large.Because there are many old trees on the mountain, the towering branches and leaves make people feel inaccessible from the outside.Once inside, you will find that the place is still so spacious, like a small square where you can run freely.

Once the freshness wore off, the four children finally remembered what the purpose of this trip was.The bamboo forest hasn't been visited yet, and the pheasant is here to play before it's caught...

"Let's go in groups of two, look for the pheasants separately, don't go too far, if you find a pheasant, call out and we'll meet up right away..." The captain spoke again, solemnly like a little adult.

"Oh, my second brother, the pheasant will scare away..." The aunt pointed out the father's problem.

"That's right, why don't we go together, I'm a little scared..." Although the uncle is old, he is the youngest of the four brothers and sisters in courage.After some disputes, the four began to observe and act around.
