I am drawing cards in Liaozhai

Finally, these uninvited idlers and others were cleaned up, and the lake surface regained its calmness just now.

But how could Wang Sheng dare to underestimate this seemingly peaceful and beautiful lake, his nerves were tense, and he tentatively took two steps closer.

At this moment, a hand was stretched out and pressed on his arm. Looking sideways, he found that Jiang Xun was looking at him with disapproval: "I'll go."

Wang Sheng shook his head to indicate that nothing happened, and said softly, "I know it well."

Not daring to get too close, he could only open his mouth and shout to the little girl, "Do you remember me?"

When he asked this question, he didn't expect much from the other party's answer. After all, judging from the "people" he saw just now, they have completely lost human IQ and basic reason, and turned into monsters with only instincts. .

Who would have thought that the girl who was floating half a dozen meters away actually reacted to his voice.

Her dull and lifeless eyes moved over faintly, and the originally bright and lively pupils had become hollow and gray.

Wang Sheng's heart twitched inexplicably, and the two looked at each other for a long time.

Just when he thought that the other party would not respond, the little girl suddenly swam towards him with all four limbs.It's just that she doesn't seem to be used to this weird body yet, and her paddling posture is a bit stiff.

Fortunately, the movement was not too slow, the little girl stopped at a distance of five or six meters from Wang Sheng.Maybe because she died not too long ago, she didn't look so scary. If her face wasn't too numb and pale, she wouldn't look much different from yesterday.

The muscles on her face twitched strangely, and she opened her lips tentatively. After several attempts, a hoarse and unpleasant voice came out of her throat: "I remember you."

She paused, and said again.

"I remember you, you are the big brother who seems to be kind." She seemed a little afraid of Jiang Xun, and when she said these words, she was still moving in the opposite direction of him calmly.

Hearing this untimely praise, Wang Sheng wanted to laugh but his eyes were a little sore.

He asked hoarsely, "How did you become like this? Do you know those people?"

The little girl didn't give half a look to the water polo, but said coldly, "They are from Yixi Village."

Wang Cheng was not surprised when he heard the words, he skipped the question and asked again: "What about you, you were obviously fine yesterday."

The muscles on the little girl's face twitched again, and she said calmly, "It's my mother. I saw the last picture, it was my mother rushing towards me."

Seeing Wang Sheng's puzzled face, the little girl simply said everything she didn't dare to say yesterday.

The girl's name is Zhao Hui.

She has lived in this small Yixi Village since she was born.

Although my mother ignored me after remarriage, my stepfather often beat and scolded me.But Zhao Hui was content, at least she didn't sell her cheaply to others as a child bride, and at most she could endure a little hard work on weekdays.

But the torrential rain more than a month ago changed all that, and the sudden flood destroyed most of the fertile fields.The people in the village had to start saving money, but fortunately, there were still some fields that could provide food for a season. By summer, a new round of crops could grow.

Compared with other villages, Yixi Village is already considered lucky. They only need to tighten their belts and survive this difficult time.

Unexpectedly, one day, a purple aquatic plant that had never been seen before suddenly grew in the stream that spanned the entire village.At the beginning, no one dared to touch them, but recently there was a shortage of food, and most people were half-starved. Gradually, some people paid attention to these strangely colored aquatic plants.

Gradually, almost half of the people in the village have eaten this plant.

But Zhao Hui didn't eat it. She hated the bad taste of the food, so her mother even beat her up, saying that she was hypocritical and troublesome.But her stepfather didn't eat it either. He was the only man in the family, and he would eat all the food first. There was no need to eat such smelly aquatic plants.

Unexpectedly, on the third day after her mother ate this strange aquatic plant, she mysteriously disappeared.

Zhao Hui's stepfather led her to search for a long time before finding her mother's whitish corpse by the stream.

This incident is not conspicuous in Yixi Village, because almost every household has the same situation.

In the end, it was discovered that those who had eaten aquatic plants would disappear from their homes within one to two days, and then randomly appear somewhere near the stream.

All of a sudden, half of the people in the village lost their lives in such a strange way.Everyone was gloomy, but panicked, and no one dared to touch those weird purple plants anymore.

However, since no one ate that aquatic plant anymore, the abnormal situation in the village also stopped. The survivors in the village collected the bones of the deceased and prepared to bury them in seven days.

Unexpectedly, just a few days after everyone relaxed their vigilance, another strange thing happened that made everyone's nerves collapse.

The bodies that had been placed in the coffins disappeared.

The young and middle-aged people in the village searched together for two full days, but they couldn't find a single hair.It seems that those who died just disappeared out of thin air in the coffin.

Until the third day, a woman who was standing by the stream to fetch water was dragged down by a swollen pale hand while her companion watched.

Then it never floated up again.

Only then did the people in the village know where the disappeared bodies had gone.They turned into irrational water ghosts, lurking in the stream and staring at everyone.

But this is not the beginning of all evil.

The day after the woman was dragged into the water by a former acquaintance, a villager who had died from eating purple waterweed suddenly returned to the coffin placed at home.

Even at noon the next day, his family found that he could sit up from the coffin, and his behavior and conversation were as usual.

This undoubtedly brought hope to other villagers. They gradually figured out the law. The stream seems to be able to control only a certain amount of water ghosts to gather near it. Ghost villagers.

At this point, the devil's box has been opened.

Throwing water and plants into other people's wells is considered a child's play, and some people even push people into the stream without hesitation.

When talking about this, Zhao Huiping's hoarse voice became more and more obscure: "But those who came back are no longer human beings at all. They are afraid of light and shade, and their personalities are becoming cruel and irritable. It's no different."

But just as the whole Yixi Village was about to fall into this crazy state where everyone was in danger, a few foreigners who suddenly came to the village broke the precarious situation.

The villagers found fresh game.

A group of unsuspecting prey that broke in suddenly.

Everything went extremely smoothly, and only a few small tricks were needed to make those outsiders walk into the death trap unconsciously.

They are easy to attack and do not have to worry about reprisals.Even if there were one or two who were particularly vigilant, they were quickly suppressed.

The people in Yixi Village tasted the sweetness, and they even began to consciously wander outside the village, trying to actively search for foreigners who came here by accident.As for Wang Sheng and the others who bumped into them, they had long been regarded as self-inflicted lambs.

Hearing this, Wang Sheng couldn't help but have other questions in his heart: "Will there be a situation where foreigners from other lands are "replaced" by newcomers?"

Half of Zhao Hui's face twitched, and she said, "Yes, they were killed by other people in the village the day after they were replaced."

"Did you know? A real villain is not afraid of ghosts."

Thinking of those corpses in the backyard, Wang Sheng couldn't help following behind him.

He looked at the pale and terrifying little girl in front of him, and suddenly felt some sympathy in his heart. He squatted down, looked directly at the other's dim and cloudy pupils, and said softly: "Then you, you also appeared here, But you still maintain your sanity and the memory of your life."

Zhao Hui's originally indifferent eyes changed slightly, and she finally moved her eyes to those same kind who were still struggling in the water polo and trying to crawl out for the first time.

"Maybe it's because I don't want to live that much."

The girl in front of her is only in her teens, but she has already experienced a series of things that ordinary people can't imagine in a lifetime.

She calmly withdrew her gaze, looked at Wang Sheng and said, "But you are different from them, you should live on."

Wang Sheng is no longer afraid of the little girl. He smiled and said, "Thank you. But I have other reasons for coming here. Do you know what else is under the water?"

Zhao Hui's dim eyes moved slightly, and suddenly stammered: "I... don't know..."

But she clearly didn't look like she didn't know, Wang Sheng hurriedly followed up: "We are not ordinary people, you can tell me boldly if you have any concerns."

Zhao Hui couldn't make any expression anymore. With a blank face, she didn't know whether she was struggling or in a daze. It took a long time before she hesitated and said, "You should have seen it too. I don't know how to say it...Under the water Indeed there are…”

She paused, and then said: "I don't know what it is, and I can't get close to it, and everyone can't get close to the bottom of the lake."

Wang Sheng had a premonition that what was hidden under the water was the truth he had been searching for, so he didn't want to hesitate, so he immediately made a gesture to explore the water.

Unexpectedly, she was stopped by the little girl at the side. She seemed to be hesitating for a while, and finally seemed to make up her mind, and said in a hoarse voice, "I'll take you there."

Wang Sheng didn't have time to stop him, and saw that Zhao Hui had already turned his head and pounced back to the depths of the lake, motioning for them to follow from afar.

He sighed softly, and hurriedly called Ying Long back first.

The other party had actually started to doze off while sitting cross-legged, and seeing that he could finally get off work, he felt refreshed.

Ying Long yawned and stood up, waved his hand and attracted a large amount of lake water, which strengthened the "water prison" in the air, and then returned to the group of demons.

Wang Sheng was very satisfied with the other party's safety, but when he was about to walk to the water's edge, he was suddenly pulled back by the people around him.

"and many more."

Jiang Xun stretched out his hand to wipe Wang Sheng's mouth and nose lightly, took his hand again, and jumped into the lake.

Wang Sheng hadn't reacted yet, but Zhao Hui on the other side had tacitly agreed that they were ready, turned his head and dived into the water in silence.

He was caught off guard by the lake water, but unexpectedly found that the water couldn't flow into his nose at all.

There seemed to be a thin, transparent membrane separating the water.

Wang Sheng can breathe freely underwater without being affected.

It's just that the world under the water doesn't look so peaceful and tranquil.

The endless purple aquatic plants are entangled with each other and stretch freely in the water, as if they have self-awareness, they are entwined around their cuffs, which makes people feel uncomfortable when they see it.

The sunlight shines through the swaying water of the lake, reflecting everyone's blue-blue faces, coupled with the same expressionless expressions on the faces of one big and one next to Wang Sheng, it really makes him feel terrified.

As if feeling his nervousness, Jiang Xun in front of him gently squeezed his hand.

Wang Sheng's heart and lungs trembled, and he subconsciously relaxed.
