A bare-chested man said, "Weird, Second Aunt Li's hair looks like it's rooted at the bottom of the water, so why can't it be pulled out?"

"Hu Zi, use a knife!"

As the saying goes, good news never goes out, bad news spread like wildfire. The news quickly spread, including our village and the surrounding villages. Hearing this news, none of them dared to go to the reservoir to swim.

After hearing this, the Village Chief's son and daughter-in-law wailed loudly. At that time, it had rained heavily, so the Village Chief didn't care about reporting the release of the flood. He immediately opened the gate of the West Dam.

Opening the floodgates at night was only possible until the morning of the next day. My grandmother and Cheng Su's grandmother also went to help out, it was the Village Chief who personally invited them to go.

As for the two of us, we would meet up and catch crabs by the reservoir. The crabs in the fall were big and fat, and the water quality of the reservoir was good, so the crabs and crab paste here were all very yellow. After steaming, we would put some soy sauce and garlic on them and add some sesame oil.

In these past few days, we have been digging crabs with our other friends every day, but it was actually because we had quarreled over whether or not we should dip ourselves in vinegar when eating crabs. At that time, I was extremely stubborn, and I was also two years younger than Cheng Su.

One day was already dark. Cheng Su and I wanted to catch a few more crabs to return, but it was a little late. Who knew that we were too focused, and when we regained our senses, it was already dark.

The autumn weather is so dark that it surprises us.

Cheng Su said timidly: "Let's go back, otherwise we will be scolded again!"

"Well, it's Sunday tomorrow anyway, so you can come out tomorrow." "No," I said.

Cheng Su suddenly stopped in her tracks and said: "My shoes are gone!"

"Mine, I'll give it to you. We'll come back tomorrow morning to look for it." "No," I said.

Cheng Su said with difficulty: "Your shoes are too small, I can't wear them."

Because of the difference between males and females, Cheng Su has grown even faster these past few years, and is now half a head taller than me. I saw that even if she was barefoot, she still wouldn't be able to do anything.

We were running, walking along the side of the reservoir, but for some reason, after running for half an hour, we still could not find the way. Cheng Su was scared, and said: "Otherwise, it would be better if we don't look, it's too dark around, I'm afraid!"

"I'll carry you when we walk on the gravel path." "No," I said.

Cheng Su smiled sweetly.

But after a long walk, we didn't see the road home.

Cheng Su had less guts than me, so she started crying as she walked. "What do we do, get lost," she said to my grandmother.

"Don't be afraid, my grandmother said that my life is tough and the ghosts are scared of me. When the ghosts come, I'll take care of them!" I looked at Cheng Su and said, "I'll buy you a lollipop to eat tomorrow. Grandma gave me fifty cents today, I haven't spent it yet!"

Cheng Su laughed through her tears, "You said it! "You are not allowed to lie!"

"When did I lie to you?" "No," I said.

"I knew that the child's father was the best!" As he said that, Cheng Su smacked me on the face and pulled my hand as he walked forward.

From walking to running, we discovered that we had entered a forest that we had never seen before. Around us, there were some faint and strange sounds that sounded like the cries of a cat or a baby. The creepy sounds made me forget about my hunger.

I grabbed onto Cheng Su's hand. I could feel that Cheng Su's hands were covered in cold sweat.

Unknowingly, only the sound of my footsteps could be heard, the sky was slowly darkening. Although I was afraid, it was still two people together, so I wasn't very afraid.

But when we reached the bottom, we found ourselves on the bank of a reservoir where Uncle Li's family had once been drowned.

I feel that we are completely lost on our way home, Cheng Su was so scared that he did not know what to do, he just sat down on the ground, and the autumn rain started again. It obviously didn't rain when we came out, but now the pitter-patter of the rain has completely drenched us, but there seemed to be a weak cry coming from the reservoir in the distance!

"What is that sound?" Cheng Su grabbed my hand and said.

I also listened carefully, but I don't know where I got the courage from then, but I hugged Cheng Su and said: "It's the meowing of a cat. There's fish in the reservoir, and cats like to eat fish.

"But my cat wasn't lost, it was run over by a tractor. The more you talk the more scared I am," Cheng Su said in a sobbing tone.

"That might be the parents of your family's big cat." I tried to comfort her.

"But Hua Hua's parents were also crushed by the tractor," Cheng Su said weakly.

"Grandfather, it's definitely your grandpa with the flowers on him, I promise!" I shouted.

It was only then that Cheng Su managed to stabilize herself, but I was also very scared. When we hugged each other, we didn't dare to approach the pool of water anymore. I had originally wanted to turn around and escape, but I couldn't.

Just then the faint call in the pool stopped, but there was a deathly silence that made us stare at the surface of the pool without moving, and I heard a sound, something rising, and the water began to ripple.

At that moment, all I could think about was blanking out and forgetting to cry. All I could see was a series of strange events unfold in front of me.

During his sleep, he first saw a pair of red shoes covered with water moss. Gradually, two legs wearing shoes floated up from the water, then thighs, waist, arms, and shoulders. Finally, a pair of widened, bloodshot eyes!

This was actually the granddaughter of the village chief, Yang Xiaohua!

At that time, Yang Xiaohua's small body was already twisted in a weird way. Her entire face was soaked in the water, but her eyes were still staring at us.

This wasn't all, there were three more corpses, one of them was actually Uncle Li's family that was already drowned. Uncle Li and his son's head were buried under the river, and as they approached us, a ditch appeared on the mud on the head.

"Don't they hurt by burying their faces in the ground?" Cheng Su said softly.

"According to my grandma, Second Uncle Li's family has always had thick skin, so they aren't afraid." I said, "Li Yingjie still owes me half a rubber, and he never pays me back!"

Although Uncle Li and his son were buried in the ground, his wife and Yang Xiaohua were leaning towards us on their backs, with their eyes wide open and water grasses wrapped around their bodies.

Their hair, like a crab with eight claws, moved on top of the sand, and those two pairs of eyes that were like dead fish eyes made me feel fear from the bottom of my heart.
