A Midnight Escape Story for Farmers

Chapter 218 The Drowned Lake

"So, this is really a place where two little girls play house?"

Fang Shiqing felt very complicated.There are countless coffins lined up outside, but this is a playground for children. This kind of contrast is too subtle... The children who play games here are really big-hearted. What is the difference between them and playing in front of the cemetery? Are you not afraid?

However, the size of the long hole just now is indeed only suitable for children to pass through, and even adult women are a bit reluctant.It is not surprising that this kind of hidden place is regarded as a "secret base" by children.

The two little girls are obviously just learning to write, but one writes smoothly and the other writes in a huddle, and it is still easy to distinguish.

"I was scolded by my father again today. He said he wanted me to work harder. But my brother can go out to play every day, why can't I? I was not reconciled, so he said that I talked back and punished me to memorize in the room. So I didn't Fa came to see you at the agreed time, so I had to put the diary here in advance."

This paragraph comes from a little girl with smooth handwriting, and her signature is Anan.

"Your father is so strict, my father doesn't care about me. Dad didn't come home today, so I can come out to play casually, but it's not interesting. The brothers in the village have all gone to the lake, and they won't let me go. They said It's dangerous for a girl to go to the lake alone, there are monsters in the lake that eat girls."

This paragraph comes from a girl with messy handwriting. Her signature name is Abei. It seems that these two don't look like their real names, but like two girls playing with each other's pseudonyms.

Fang Shiqing guessed that although the former girl was just learning to write, she should have received a formal cultural education, while the latter girl seemed to have learned it by herself. Although it could be seen that the writing was serious, there were many typos and the writing was not good-looking.

"Are there monsters by the lake? I haven't heard of them. My dad only said to be careful not to fall into the lake and drown, but I'm a good swimmer, so he didn't say much. Then you can't come to my house to play." ? You have to go through the lake to get to my house..." Anan wrote this next time.

"It doesn't matter, they won't let me go, so I'll go secretly. Isn't this secret road from the ground directly leading to the lake?" Ah Bei replied.

Fang Shiqing closed the booklet. Although it was just a little girl's exchange diary, the amount of information was quite large.The two girls should have lived in the old districts on the south side and above Fengyue Lake respectively. Somehow, they met here by chance and became playmates.

At this time Xiao Fengdi took out another book and handed it to him: "Look."

The book looked soaked in water, and the handwriting on it was blurred.

Fang Shiqing rummaged twice before remembering that this one seemed to be picked up from the coffin in the mourning hall on the south side of the lake, and he stopped suddenly: "Boss, you mean..."

"Don't you think the handwriting looks alike?"

Fang Shiqing was startled, and hastily opened the two booklets for comparison.On the book that had been soaked in water, only a few complete words could be discerned. After reading it for a long time, he didn't think it was quite the same.

Xiao Fengdi stretched out his hand and turned a page: "Look here, the horizontal fold is obviously interrupted and then connected in the middle, and it's the same here."

"You mean this?!"

Fang Shiqing was shocked for a moment.What Xiao Fengdi pointed to was the writing left by Ah Bei, but it was Anan's that he had been checking just now.

"But, didn't you find this book from the house in the south? Judging from the content, the girl in front lived there?"

The crumpled booklet should be the diary of the female corpse in the coffin.In other words, that female corpse...is this girl named Abei?How did she run to the south? !

"But judging from the handwriting, it's true." Xiao Fengdi didn't seem surprised, "And it's not impossible. Did you pay attention to that female corpse? Her hair was combed in a woman's bun. Also That is to say, she may have married into the mansion over there."

"This, even if I pay attention, I can't recognize it?!"

Fang Shiqing couldn't get better.The hair style of women in the old era is not a must-have common sense for modern people, how can he tell it apart, it is better to say why the boss knows this kind of thing!

"It's okay, as long as I recognize it," Xiao Fengdi would get it wrong, and comfort him instead, "It's the same when I tell you after I recognize it."

...Forget it, it doesn't matter.

After calming down, Fang Shiqing realized the strangeness of the matter itself.

This girl named Abei married a man in the south house after she grew up, and died not long after marriage?And look at her coffin... Is she a "water ghost"?

He always felt that something was strange.Solving the puzzle in this copy is not difficult, but the clues are very fragmented, and there is no clear relationship between them, so it is difficult to connect them together for a while.

"Besides, there is one more thing." Xiao Fengdi said again, "Since people who live in the south of Fengyue Lake can also come here, I think this underground passage should be directly connected to that side."

"But there's no other way ahead... You mean, there might be secret passages around or something?"

"Ah."

So the two of them began to search for secret passages by beating around.

Fang Shiqing checked the right side and felt that there were a few stones stacked strangely. He tried to stretch his finger through the gap, and vaguely felt a trace of air flow.

His heart skipped a beat, and he was about to ask Xiao Fengdi to come and take a look, when suddenly——something grabbed his fingers.A cold touch wound up, wet and sticky, like a slime.

"Wow!" He yelled in fright, and pulled his hand back violently.

Almost at the same time, there was a violent splashing sound from the left.

Fang Shiqing fell to the ground in embarrassment, and immediately looked back, only to see that Xiao Fengdi hit an unknown mechanism, the stone next to him suddenly bounced off, and a large amount of water gushed out like a blowout.

Xiao Fengdi reacted quickly, and immediately pushed back the organ he touched just now.The stone returned to its original position, and the water spray stopped, leaving a large spread on the ground.

Although he dodged in time, some water was inevitably wet on his body.He clicked his tongue angrily, and tore off the wet corner of his clothes.

"Boss, are you alright?" Fang Shiqing staggered up.

"I'm fine," Xiao Fengdi turned his head, his eyes suddenly focused, "Be careful behind your back!"

"?!"

After all, having had so many escape experiences before, Fang Shiqing's first reaction now is not to look back, but to roll forward on the spot.Almost at the same time as he dodged, a cold hand brushed against his neck, and the viscous liquid dripped to the ground.

"Bow your head!" Xiao Fengdi shouted.

He conveniently picked up a stone from the side, pasted a spell on it, and threw it.The stone passed over Fang Shiqing's head, and hit something behind him accurately, and the flame exploded suddenly, triggering a sharp scream.

Only then did Fang Shiqing look back, and saw a dark object quickly retracted behind the crack in the stone, leaving only a purple-black mucus on the ground.

Xiao Fengdi came over and pulled him up: "How are you, have you been hurt by it?"

"No, I'm fine." Fang Shiqing couldn't recover, "Boss, what was that just now?"

Water ghosts don't look like that.The water ghosts he had seen were white and translucent, and they were stronger.

"I guess, it's probably a little ghost attached to the water ghost." Xiao Fengdi grabbed him and looked carefully, and after confirming that there was no problem, he said at ease, "The water ghost is a powerful ghost with a lot of grievances, which can attract ordinary ghosts around it. to work for it."

With so many corpses in this area, it is not surprising that there are ghosts.

Xiao Fengdi moved away the stones at the entrance of the cave where the black kid escaped just now, and behind him was a dark and curved passage, the width of which could only accommodate one person.

The moment the hole was opened, water vapor rushed in, and it was basically certain that this place must lead to the water's edge.

"Want to go in and see?"

"Before that..." In the middle of speaking, there was a muffled muffled sound in the distance.

Xiao Fengdi frowned suddenly, "That was the sound of a spell falling to the ground, something may have happened outside."

"?!"

The two hurried back along the way they came.

After they walked away, there was only a mess left in place.

To save people just now, the stone that Xiao Fengdi picked up at random was one of the key points supporting the "secret base".

The faint sound of the wind, like a sigh, echoed in the empty space...

The two ran all the way back to the vicinity of the cave entrance.Fang Shiqing yelled at the other end a few times, but got no response, so he went back directly through the hole.

It was quiet outside, no one and no light.Xiao Fengdi listened intently for a moment, then pulled him into a side road, which seemed to be one of several roads leading to the pool in the residential area above.

The chaotic voices of people came from the front, which became more and more obvious as they walked forward. After running around a corner, they saw a few people chaotically surrounding the water. Zhao Jun was shouting something while shaking his flashlight.

"What happened?" Fang Shiqing shouted hastily.

"Shiqing," Zeng Xin squatted by the water, crying to him, "Qingyu she..."

You Qingyu lay in her arms, completely drenched, motionless.

"What's up with her?"

"She's drowning," Zhao Jun replied briefly, "It seems she was dragged down by something. We have already rescued her, but..."

When it was brought up, she was out of breath.

Fang Shiqing ran over, poured down two bottles of potion without saying a word, then grabbed You Qingyu's wrist, and checked her status with his skills.Her health value was only a dozen or so points left, and it kept dropping, so he picked up two more bottles of potion to remove the negative state and poured it down.

"It's useless. We've tried it. Drowning doesn't seem to be curable with this potion."

He Xiangwu and Zhao Jun wandered around like headless chickens, extremely anxious, but unable to help.

Fang Shiqing continued to observe You Qingyu's condition.He was sure that drowning could be cured with potion, and the moment the potion was dropped, her health value was indeed raised immediately, but then dropped rapidly.

He had to use the potion again to keep her alive.

Xiao Fengdi watched intently from behind him, then suddenly took out a pair of red gloves and put them on his hands, and put a lit talisman on his palm, lifted You Qingyu from Zeng Xin's arms and turned him over, facing the water Give it a hard shot.

You Qingyu coughed violently. While coughing, he vomited out many black mud-like things. These things gradually gathered on the water surface, forming a vague human shape.

This - very similar to the kid who attacked them just now, Zeng Xin couldn't help but let out a small cry.

Xiao Fengdi pushed You Qingyu to her, while he quickly stretched out his hand, crushing the unformed things on the water surface.It let out a piercing scream, then turned into steaming black air and ordinary clear water, and melted into the pool without a trace.

You Qingyu was panting and coughing. Although he was still in a coma, his health had finally stabilized. At least he shouldn't die.The others finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"What is that?" Zeng Xin hugged You Qingyu, looking at the water surface in horror.

"Probably the mobs in the dungeon..."

Zhao Jun talked about the situation after they left.At first, a few people just squatted in front of the passage. After squatting for a while, they felt that the efficiency was too low, so they dispersed to continue studying the coffins.

After a while, there was a scream from You Qingyu, and when she looked again, she had disappeared, leaving a little trace of struggle on the ground.The others hurriedly searched for her, and by the time they saw her in this fork in the road, it was already a bit late—fortunately, no serious consequences were caused in the end.

"What is that...black monster just now? Can we defend against it?"

Xiao Fengdi shook his head, with a serious expression on his face: "This seems to be the habitat of those little black ghosts. They are also ghosts, and you can't deal with them. You should go back to the ground first, find a place as far away from the water as possible, and I will continue to go down." explore."

"No." Fang Shiqing objected immediately.

"Then you want to go with me?" Xiao Fengdi glanced at him, not surprised.

"Wait a minute," Zhao Jun interjected, "I'm sorry, I think it's better for everyone to act together. After you leave, our side is a bit..."

Just at the moment of stalemate, some bubbles appeared on the surface of the water again, and a shadow approached a little bit from under the water.
