In another room, the old lady tossed and turned, unable to sleep.

"Mother, what are you doing if you don't sleep?" the little girl asked.

"Oh! Your father locked himself in the house after he came back at noon today. He didn't come out no matter how much he called out. He didn't even eat dinner. I don't know what happened to him. He didn't even let me in the house at night. I have to come here to squeeze you." The old woman complained.

"Oh mother..., if you don't sleep, I will still sleep. I've been tired all day, go to sleep quickly, and just ask my father tomorrow."

"Understood, you go to bed quickly, I'll go to the latrine."

The little girl replied in a daze.

The old woman got off the kang lightly, how could she sleep if she was old and had something on her mind?

There was a murder case in the village today, and she always felt uneasy.

The old woman had just finished urinating and had just tied up her trousers, when she passed by the kitchen, she heard a "gudong gudong" sound coming from inside.

At first, the old woman thought she had misheard, but after listening carefully for a while, there was indeed a sound, and then she asked, "Who is in the kitchen?"

No reply!

It was still the sound of gurgling.

The old woman frowned, walked into the kitchen in the dark, and saw a black figure standing in front of the water tank, holding a ladle and constantly scooping up water to drink.

The old woman looked at this black figure, a bit like his old man, but a bit different.

She tentatively called out, "Old man?"

no reply!

It was still the sound of drinking water.

"Old man?"

"Old man, what are you doing in the middle of the night?"

The old woman took a few steps forward and tugged at the old man's arm.

The old man stopped drinking water and mechanically turned his head to look at the old woman.

"what!"

There was a scream, and the old woman was so frightened that she almost fainted.

The swollen face looked a little transparent, as if it would shatter when poked.The bucket-like belly stood tall, as if it was about to explode in the next second.His gray skin and dull eyes made him look a little scary.

He was like a corpse that seemed to have been soaked in water for a long time, and all parts of his body were swollen in a big circle.

The old man turned around and continued to drink water from a ladle.

He's thirsty, he needs water, he needs a lot of water...  

The old woman came back to her senses, her face turned pale with fright, she screamed and ran out.

"Come on, someone, something happened, something big happened!"

The little girl in the room was startled awake when she was clever, put on her shoes and ran outside.

"What's wrong? Mother!"

The son in the other room was also lying on the kang and anxious, but his legs were paralyzed, and he couldn't get up when he thought about it, so he could only worry.

"You... something happened to your father." The old lady pointed at the kitchen tremblingly.

The little girl hurried to the kitchen.

"what!!!"

Another scream sounded, and at this time kerosene lamps were lit up in the village one after another.

"Mother, little sister, what's wrong with dad? What happened?" the son shouted anxiously from the room.

The little girl ran into his brother's room with a pale face, and said, "Father, it's Dad, he drank a big tank of water..."

With a shocked look on his face, he quickly said, "Quick, go get help, go quickly."

The little girl responded and ran out quickly.

The old lady had already sat in the yard with weak legs, crying and shouting: "Sin!"

The little girl knocked on the door from door to door and shouted: "Help! Come and save my father!"

Since the scream of the village chief's family, the three police officers sat up in a panic, and they were rushing this way even with the village chief.

After a while, a wave of people gathered in the village.

"What's wrong with your father?" The village head asked quickly.

"Hey, my dad has been drinking water." The little girl said with snot and tears.

Everyone: "..."

Drink water, just drink water, why did you call for help?

Not to mention that the old village chief was puzzled, even the police were a little puzzled.

"Why did your father call for help in the middle of the night, drink some water?" the village head asked first.

"That's right, isn't this nonsense!"

"I was sleeping soundly. I even dreamed of eating pork belly. Unfortunately, I was woken up before I chewed it."

"Girl, you can't mess with people like this in the future, the big guy has to go to work tomorrow!"

………………

The villagers agreed.

The little girl was jumping up and down anxiously on the spot, and she was so stupid that she didn't know what to say.

"You lead the way ahead, let's go and have a look!" The deputy captain said looking at the little girl's anxious expression.

So a mighty group of people went to that family's house, Su Xiaosu and other educated youths followed behind.
