The director is a god... stick!

At this time, most of the little boy's body has been dragged into the bottom of the water by the aquatic plants.

His mouth and nose were soaked in water, he couldn't shout, only his two arms were still struggling feebly on the water surface, splashing out white water splashes, it seemed that he was about to suffocate.

Zhang Tianyuan was old and strong, and he jumped into the lake first, and walked through the icy water, regardless of the fact that most of his trousers were wet.

He firmly grabbed the little boy's shoulders, trying to drag him ashore.

This place is not far from the shore, and the lake water has just overflowed his waist. Logically speaking, it should be very easy for a healthy adult to drag a child ashore.

But who knows, no matter how hard Zhang Tianyuan exerted his hands, the ball of aquatic plants entwining the child seemed to weigh more than a thousand catties, and he couldn't move it no matter what.

Not only could it not be dragged, but the thing dragged the child and Zhang Tianyuan and was sliding towards the bottom of the lake bit by bit.

Zhang Tianyuan couldn't help but turn pale with shock, and instinctively wanted to let go, but at some point, the group of water plants had grown over the child's body, wrapping around his wrists as well, and he couldn't break free.

He can't even leave now, he can only watch himself and this child being slowly dragged into the water by that group of water plants, but he has nothing to do, it is almost impossible to protect himself.

At this moment, Li Junqi and the photographer finally arrived, and the people who walked past the water "crashed and clattered" stretched out their hands to Zhang Tianyuan, wanting to help him.

He suddenly became anxious, his eyes widened, and he shouted hoarsely: "Don't come here!"

But it was too late for him to say this.

Just when the other two people approached, the group of aquatic plants had already spread over, and instantly entangled the two of them tightly.

All three of them turned pale immediately.

This group of aquatic plants... what the hell is it?

The lake water had completely submerged the child's body, and the little boy showed no sign of continuing to struggle at this time. His arms were hanging limply, floating on the water and swinging weakly, as if he had drowned and passed out.

Seeing that the group of monsters continued to drag them into the water, the lake water had already reached their chests, and the three of them panicked, stepping on the thick mud at the bottom of the lake, exerting all their strength to bring the already The unconscious child desperately retreated to the shore.

But even if three living adults were added together, they were still no match for the thing under the water. The thing was as strong as a few cows underwater, dragging them down bit by bit without mercy.

The icy lake water gradually overflowed their chests, necks, and jaws. Among them, Li Junqi, who was the shortest, had his mouth sealed by the water, and he was about to be unable to breathe.

However, this lake is very remote and sparsely populated. Except for a few playful and naughty children who come here occasionally, they can't even find a single person to call for help.

The three people's eyes were full of despair, and they almost thought that they were going to die here today.

What an absurd and unpredictable way of dying!

At this moment, a voice suddenly came from the shore: "So you are here?"

The three people who were on the verge of despair suddenly brightened their eyes when they heard the voice, and turned their heads to look at the shore in unison.

Xiao Baimo stood alone by the lake, his eyebrows gathered slightly, and he looked solemnly at the three people who were about to be submerged in the lake.

This morning, after he finished talking with Xuan Yi, he couldn't find the other two teammates on the same team as him, not even the photographer who was in charge of filming their group.

He had already searched in other places, but he couldn't find anyone. Finally, he remembered the lake that Xuan Yi mentioned to him yesterday, so he tried to come over to have a look.

But he didn't expect to see the horrifying scene in front of him.

When the three people in the lake saw Xiao Baimo, hope burst out from their eyes, and Dang Lian wanted to tell him to go back quickly and call more people to rescue them.

If you act quickly, there may be time before the few of them are drowned.

Unexpectedly, Xiao Baimo suddenly walked into the lake and waded towards them.

Zhang Tianyuan's eyes widened suddenly, his old face turned red, veins were exposed on his neck, and he shouted hoarsely: "Don't come here! Go back quickly, there are..."

Before he finished speaking, Xiao Baimo had already come to them and grabbed them firmly with both hands.

The spark of hope that had finally risen in the eyes of the three of them was extinguished immediately, and they fell into deep despair again.

It was over, and they were still counting on someone to rescue them, but they didn't expect to give another one away for nothing.

The wailing in their hearts hadn't had time to vent, but they didn't expect Xiao Baimo to gently tug with both hands, which immediately stopped the tendency of several people to continue sinking.

Under everyone's horrified gazes, Xiao Baimo dragged them back slowly, walking towards the shore step by step.

The water plants that the three of them couldn't move together were dragged out of the water just like that.

The thing under the water seemed to be in a hurry, so he repeated the old trick, and also protruded a few strands of dark green grass, trying to wrap it around his wrist.

Xiao Baimo's complexion remained unchanged, and instead he carried the crowd with one hand, leaving one hand free, his slender fingers actively met the green water plants, and the fingertips ran over the grass stems as if unintentionally.

The thing at the bottom of the water trembled suddenly as if it had been scalded by a fire suddenly, and then all the dark green water plants floating around instantly shrank back from the crowd, leaving everyone to escape, and disappeared at the bottom of the water immediately.

The three people who escaped from the dead stood blankly in the water, their clothes were completely soaked, and water droplets were still dripping down, their faces were full of expressions as if they were dreaming.

While everyone was in a daze, Xiao Baimo had already carried the drowning child to the shore.

The little boy had been suffocating and struggling in the water for the longest time. At this time, he had completely passed out and lost consciousness.

But fortunately, his chest was still heaving up and down, and his life was not in danger yet.

Xiao Baimo followed the first aid steps for drowning, first turned the little boy to his side, and then cleaned up the weeds and mud in his mouth.

Then he knelt down with one leg, stretched out the other leg, put the little boy's abdomen on his knees, let the little boy's head hang down naturally, and then pressed his abdomen and back to make the little boy spit out all the water he drank. .

"Cough cough, cough..."

After some first aid, the boy woke up while choking and coughing, making uncomfortable breathing sounds, and gradually regained consciousness.

At this time, the three of them who had been in a daze just came back to their senses, and returned to the shore as if they had just woken up from a dream, looking at Xiao Baimo in amazement.

"Film Emperor Xiao, how much strength do you have? How did you manage to drag, drag... that thing at the bottom of the water just now?" the photographer asked incoherently.

After all, at the beginning, they were three adults together, and they were almost dragged into the water.

Zhang Tianyuan, an old drama player, couldn't help but frowned, and asked with lingering fear: "Xiao Xiao, do you know what the thing under the water is? What...how did you just..."

He waved his hand out of thin air, making a driving motion: "Why did you drive that thing away?"

Xiao Baimo remained calm, and first comforted the frightened child after waking up, and then said: "I don't know what is under the water... But I heard before that there is a story about water ghosts in this stone village. s legend."

"This morning, the villager who entertained our program group happened to be slaughtering chickens. I went up to help a little. It may have been at that time that my hands were stained with chicken blood, and I didn't wipe them off when I came over." He stretched out his dry He showed his clean hand to everyone, and said half-truthfully, "I heard from the old man at home that evil things like water ghosts are most afraid of rooster blood and black dog blood, so I took the risk and tried it, but I didn’t expect it to be really useful.”

The excuse he gave was barely reasonable, so Zhang Tianyuan and the photographer nodded in doubt, and said in surprise, "That is to say, the one we met just now...is really a water ghost?"

There really are ghosts in this world? !

Thinking of the weird scene just now, everyone couldn't help being startled and suspicious, and they couldn't help but feel scared, and their hearts were straight.

Only Li Junqi, because she is a girl, has always been careful, so at this moment she stared at Xiao Baimo in a trance, still a little puzzled in her heart.

Movie Emperor Xiao just now... Did he just take a few seconds to swim across the lake and run from the bank to the side of the few of them?

This speed... Even a national first-level athlete may not be able to run so fast, right?Let alone still in the water...

She was puzzled, but also suspected that it was because she was too nervous just now, so she misread it for a while.

Li Junqi thought and thought, and finally swallowed all the doubts in his heart, and didn't say it out.

After the fright just now, everyone left the lake with lingering fear. After resting for a long time, they finally calmed down and decided to return the drowning child to his parents first.

According to the boy's guidance after waking up, everyone quickly found the child's home.

With a "squeak", the door opened.The fat aunt I met yesterday came in front of everyone, holding a spoon in her hand, obviously cooking at this time.

When the fat aunt saw her wet and crying little son, and then looked up at a group of drenched adults around her, there was something she didn't understand, and she immediately jumped into a rage.

"Okay, you boy! You sneaked to swim in the lake again, didn't you?"

"I've told you so many times, but you just don't listen! This time, I finally stumbled in the water and was picked up by others..."

Not even caring about thanking him, she grabbed her son by the ear and roared loudly.

For a while, the reprimands of the parents and the cries of the bear children were mixed together, and it was quite lively and noisy.

Xiao Baimo and others explained to the parents what happened just now.

Unexpectedly, after the fat aunt heard this, her complexion changed immediately, her lips trembled, her fingers trembled, obviously she was really frightened.

"Water ghost..."

Her voice was erratic, and the momentum of scolding the child just now was gone: "You have encountered a water ghost..."

Xiao Baimo took the opportunity to raise his doubts.

"What exactly is the water ghost in Stone Village, and what is its origin?" he asked.

As if thinking of something terrible, the fat aunt's eyes shrank a little, as if she didn't dare to say it.

But for the sake of these people saving her son's life, she gritted her teeth and finally mustered up the courage to say, "This happened decades ago, and a long time has passed."

"My mother was young that year, and I wasn't even born yet..."

About four or fifty years ago, a lazy bastard named Shi Qiang came out of Shitou Village.

This Shi Qiang loved to drink since he was a child, he was an out-and-out drunkard Jiumengzi, and he liked to wander around the village, taking the opportunity to steal chickens and dogs.

Once he stole something, he would quickly exchange it for money, and use it all to buy wine. Every time he got drunk, he would fight everywhere and make trouble after getting drunk.

This made the villagers of Shitou Village helpless and headache, and they became more and more disgusted with this Jiu Mengzi.

But Shi Qiang, who was looked down upon by the whole village, didn't take it seriously. Not only did he not change at all, but he always felt that living is worse than dying.

So every time he waited until the alcohol addiction broke out, he still did the same.

Until one day, Shi Qiang was so drunk that he staggered on his feet. For some reason, he accidentally walked to the edge of the lake, accidentally fell into it, and drowned.

At first, no one in the village noticed that he was missing.

It wasn't until many days in a row that nothing was lost in the villagers' homes, and no one saw Shi Qiang go to buy wine, so everyone realized that something was wrong.

After searching and searching for several months, someone found a stinky shoe that Shi Qiang had accidentally dropped in the grass by the lake.

So the villagers fished in the lake with fishing nets, but they didn't catch anything, only a bunch of aquatic plants.

Later, everyone simply transferred the water pump on the team, and directly drained most of the lake, and only then did they find Shi Qiang's body in the mud at the bottom of the water.

His rotting corpse was still in a struggling posture, with both hands gripping the bottom of the lake tightly, the nails were full of mud, and there were a few strands of aquatic plants wrapped around his calves that he couldn't get rid of.

Apparently, after Shi Qiang fell into the water drunk, he wanted to break free and get back to the shore, but his legs were entangled by the aquatic plants at the bottom accidentally, and he couldn't struggle no matter what, and finally drowned alive.

Until the moment before he died of suffocation, his will to survive was still very strong, and he tried his best to struggle to survive.

What was even more horrifying was that Shi Qiang's death was extremely tragic. The body had been soaked in water for many days, and it was already swollen and whitish, exuding a strong rancid smell.

And there are many wild fish and shrimps in the lake.

When people fished up Shi Qiang's body, they found that his body was mutilated. Many fish and shrimps had eaten his body, and even his two eyeballs had been eaten up. Two dark eye sockets.

It is said that when the villagers first saw his body, many of them couldn't help but vomited it out on the spot.

Originally, all the fish and shrimps in this lake were thin and small, but since that year, all the fish in the lake have grown big and fat, with fierce temperament, bloodthirsty and greedy for meat, and it has been like this until now. Very weird!

That is, from then on, people in the village no longer eat the fish caught in that lake.

People say that those fish grow up eating human flesh, so they grow so fat, they must not be eaten.

But other than fish and shrimp, even more weird things are still happening quietly.

After Shi Qiang's death, the villagers didn't pay attention at first, and even secretly felt lucky that there was one less sneaky bastard in their village.

But one day, a child drowned while swimming in the lake.

The water in the lake is actually not too deep, and the water surface has always been calm and the current is gentle. There were very few people who drowned before.

The villagers were surprised and saddened by this, but they didn't think much about it at the time, they just thought that the child accidentally had an accident in the water.

After holding the funeral for the child, within a few days, another child drowned in that lake.

When the two children drowned, their legs and feet were entwined with dark green water plants, and the method of death was exactly the same as that of Shi Qiang.

The adults in the village finally felt that something was wrong, and stopped their children from approaching the lake one after another.But the bear kids don't understand the seriousness of the matter, they are just playful.

So one day, the three children who secretly went to the lake to play without telling the adults drowned again.

Two of them drowned, and only one survived.

The child who escaped death was frightened out of his wits, talking and shouting frantically, saying that there are monsters in the water!A monster covered in aquatic plants!

At that time, he was fishing on the shore, and watched the monster float up, dragged his two little friends into the water, and drowned alive.

At that time, everyone in the village was shocked by what the child said.

Then anger welled up in people's hearts.

It must be Shi Qiang!

Shi Qiang accidentally fell into the water and drowned, but his obsession with continuing to live was so strong that he turned into a water ghost, waiting for an opportunity to drag those swimming children into the water, hoping to find a substitute for the dead ghost.

You bastard, you disturbed the folks when you were alive, and you will harm their children after death!

The villagers whose children died at home borrowed the water pump angrily, and drained the water at the bottom of the lake again, trying to catch the monster hiding at the bottom of the lake.

But after the lake was drained, there was only a piece of weeds and silt left. The so-called water ghosts couldn't even find a trace.

Therefore, the adults all thought that the child who survived was lying to people because he was afraid of being scolded.

The child couldn't argue with his mouth, and after the families who drained the lake vented their anger, they could only return home dejectedly.

But that night, it suddenly rained heavily, and the rain on the ground almost covered people's ankles. The sound of splashing rain covered all the sounds in the middle of the night.

When the rain stopped the next day, the villagers discovered that the families who pumped water before had all died tragically in their own homes, and the dripping blood stained the entire house.

There were bloody wounds on the necks of the dead, as if they had been bitten and torn by something.

As for the neighbors of those families, their faces turned pale from fright, and they talked incoherently.

Before their family went to bed last night, they vaguely saw a human-shaped thing through the dim light at the door of their house.

That thing was lying on the ground in the muddy water, struggling to crawl, and slowly crawled into the yard of the dead...

Obviously, this is revenge.

Several families drained the entire lake, and the thing under the water climbed ashore to take revenge on the families.

The water ghost has come ashore!

At that time, everyone in the village was terrified. Since then, no one dared to approach the lake for fear of being retaliated by the water ghost again. The water in the lake was deliberately forgotten by everyone.

Since then, for nearly 30 years, no child has been drowned.

But with the passage of time, the villagers who have experienced everything in those years are gradually getting old, and a new generation of young people is gradually growing up, and the old rules are gradually forgotten.

Especially in the past decade or so, many newly born children have ignored the words of their elders.

These brats thought that the rumors about water ghosts were just stories used by the older generation to fool children, and they became more and more courageous, always sneaking to play in that lake without telling their adults.

Last year, the little grandson of the village chief's family almost had an accident, but he was rescued in the end.

And today, it was almost my own son who had an accident...

Having said that, the fat aunt couldn't help but gritted her teeth, and pulled her little son into her arms in fear, and checked him up and down carefully.

On the one hand, she couldn't help but slapped her cattail leaf fan again, aiming at the back of the little guy's bald head, bowing left and right, and slapped several times in a row.

"Asshole, you've got ass hair stuffed in your head, now let me see if you dare to go to the lake again! Fortunately, you were rescued this time, why don't you hurry up and say thank you!"

she shouted.

The little guy was crying and twitching, with tears in his eyes, sniffing his nose and bowing to thank everyone, his face was covered with tears and snot that hadn't been wiped clean.

Everyone was in a complicated mood. After saying goodbye to the thankful fat aunt's family, they walked towards the program group with heavy steps.

Along the way, several people were silent, and the atmosphere was extremely dignified and dull.

Suddenly, Li Junqi stopped halfway, as if he couldn't bear it anymore, his fear reached a critical point, and he suddenly broke down.

"I want to leave here, I don't want to stay in this village any longer!"

The young girl hugged her arms, her whole body shrank into a ball, trembling constantly, her face was full of panic, she no longer had the slightest demeanor of a star, she just said in a trembling voice: "I want to go, let's go now, I don’t want to record any more shows…”

"How can there be such a monster in this world, I want to stay away from that water ghost..."

As she was talking, she couldn't hold on any longer, and squatted down halfway, hugging her knees, and burst into tears.

Neither Zhang Tianyuan nor the photographer stopped her from crying, because the two of them looked at each other, only to find that each other also had a look of panic on their faces.

They don't want to stay here any longer.

Only Xiao Baimo remained motionless, standing where he was and watching everyone quietly.

After a while, he sighed softly: "That's right, it's dangerous for you to stay here."

Because he knew in his heart that the group of them had alarmed the water ghost today, but at that time he didn't directly catch the underwater thing because he was concerned about the ordinary people around him.

So after that thing has calmed down, it will definitely come again.
