I made myself the protagonist

Chapter 281 Red Eyes
The forest path leading to the waterfall was already closed. Ling Yun parked the car on the side of the road, and several people walked down one by one.

The light in the woods is dim, and the straight and tall trees block most of the sunlight, only the mottled and sparse light shines in through the branches and leaves of the trees, and the whole forest is surprisingly quiet.

Ling Yun and his team found that there were traces of people digging openly around the path, and there would be signs to guide the waterfall every few tens of meters along the way.As Mrs. Laura said, before the accident, tourists often came to visit the neighborhood.

"There doesn't seem to be anything unusual in this area, and the props don't respond." Ling Yun held a compass in his hand, which was a prop that could accurately detect the breath and movement of ghosts.

"It seems that we have to go deeper. The problem is estimated to be near the waterfall." Lin Yuanqi kept searching around, and suddenly he found a few soft footprints on the ground beside him.The footprints were not deep, and the traces on the soles were clearly visible. Judging from the time, it turned out to be left not long ago.

"Judging from the footprints, there is only one person on the other side. It seems that it is not Zhu Qingrong and the others. Could it be someone who lives nearby?" Pan Rong leaned forward and analyzed.

According to Mrs. Laura, after the disappearance of the child, people in the small town were afraid to avoid this dense forest and dared not approach it easily.That being the case, how can ordinary people dare to drill into the woods?
Thinking of this, Ling Yun got up immediately, and said to his companions: "Maybe that person hasn't left yet, let's hurry over and have a look."

"Okay." Lin Yuanqi responded, and everyone quickened their pace immediately.

On the other side, Li Xinjian and Tang Yao were walking at the back of the line. They were panting heavily and walking with great difficulty.Now they have become children less than ten years old, and their actions have been more or less affected.At least in terms of physical fitness, it is no longer comparable to usual.

Ling Yun took a big step, and they had to run three or four steps with their short legs; when Ling Yun turned around, he found that Tang Yao and Li Xinjian had already fallen behind, except for Pan Rong who could barely keep up.

"Sorry, I almost forgot, you are all children now." Ling Yun stopped and squatted in front of Pan Rong, motioning for her to lie on her back.

At first, Pan Rong was a little embarrassed. She waved her hands again and again, expressing that she still had the strength to walk, and she just had to take care of Tang Yao and Li Xinjian.

"Yes, come, come, let mom hug you." On the side, Lin Yuanqi's eyes lit up when he heard what she said, and he opened his arms to hug Tang Yao.

Unexpectedly, Ling Yun picked up his youngest son, Li Xinjian, and stuffed him into Lin Yuanqi's arms.

"you……"

Lin Yuanqi stared, watching Ling Yun pick up Pan Rong on his back, hold Tang Yao in his arms, and walked past her in a leisurely manner.

"The youngest son is the youngest of the three children. You are a woman now, and you don't have much strength. Don't be dazed, let's go." Ling Yun glanced at the other party and quickened his pace.

Unlike Lin Yuanqi, his body is now a middle-aged man with well-developed muscles and a strong physique. Even if he carries two children on his back, it is not a big burden for Ling Yun.

Pan Rong lay on Ling Yun's shoulder, feeling the other party's striding steps, she couldn't help laughing and said, "You remind me that when I was very young, my father carried me home like this."

"Really, that's a good time to experience the joy of childhood again." Ling Yun joked with her, lifted Tang Yao up with his left hand, adjusted his posture slightly, and tidied up her messy coat.

Tang Yao quietly lay on Ling Yun's shoulder, without saying a word from the beginning to the end.

"Maybe it's a little bumpy, tell me if you don't feel well." Ling Yun didn't notice this abnormality. To him, what he was holding was just a seven-year-old girl.On the contrary, it was Pan Rong who almost couldn't hold back her laughter when she saw Tang Yao's flushed face.

"Haha, is someone's nose crooked right now?" Li Xinjian didn't think it was a big deal when he watched the excitement, and he even ran on Lin Yuanqi to make things worse.

"If you say one more word, believe it or not, I will throw it down for you immediately?" Lin Yuanqi gritted his teeth, and he almost squeezed out this sentence through his teeth.

A group of people quickly passed through the woods and continued to move forward along the signs. Soon, they heard the roar of the waterfall coming from ahead.The field of vision gradually widened, passing through the forest, and there was an open space in front of him.

The waterfall hangs down from a high altitude, and the sound is like the roar of a wild lion, which is deafening.There is a pool of clear water under the waterfall. The water stirs up white waves and hits the rocks on the shore. The wind mixed with water splashes blows on everyone's faces, making them feel much cooler.

"There is really someone over there!"

At a glance, Pan Rong found a middle-aged man in his 40s standing by the pool in front of him.

At this time, the man turned his back to them, as if observing the pool below the waterfall.Because the waterfall was too loud, he didn't notice other people approaching.Until Ling Yun walked behind the other party and patted him on the shoulder.

The man's body trembled violently like an electric shock. He turned around, but before he could speak, the moment he saw Ling Yun and the others, his eyes fell on Tang Yao and Li Xinjian.

"Damn it, don't you know what this place is?! Take the child away!"

The man couldn't help but grab Ling Yun's collar excitedly, looking very excited.

"Hey, brother, I'm sorry, did I scare you? Please calm down..." Ling Yun didn't resist. Judging from the man's reaction, the other party seemed to have experienced something.So, he deliberately pretended to be ignorant and tried to explain to the other party: "I just brought my family here for fun, and we have no malicious intentions."

"If you don't want to have an accident at home, listen to me, leave this damn town now, the farther the better!" The man kept swearing, he gradually let go of his hand, and the whole person crouched on the ground, holding his head Constantly annoyed: "If I could have done this in the first place, nothing would have happened to Jack and Emily...it's all my fault..."

Hearing what he said, Ling Yun and the others looked at each other in blank dismay. They didn't know whether it was luck of the group or the intentional arrangement of the space: Isn't this man in front of them the victim they are looking for? !
At the same time, Tang Yao took out a small handkerchief from her pocket, stepped forward slowly and handed it to the man.

The man raised his head and looked at the little girl in front of him. Suddenly, he seemed to see the shadow of his daughter in her.He stretched out his hand tremblingly, and the girl in front of him was not afraid, she obediently let him touch her, and even wiped away her tears.

"Sir, what's going on here? What do you mean by what you said just now?" After the man adjusted his mood, Lin Yuanqi quickly introduced himself, telling him that his family just moved to the neighborhood today.

"Hello, my name is John Wilson." The man rubbed Tang Yao's hair, looked at the child's cute face, he looked away, walked in front of Ling Yun and Lin Yuanqi, and his tone became incomparable serious.

"I didn't joke with you just now. This is a cursed pool, but any child who has been here will be bewitched by it. I took the whole family here for a picnic 15 years ago. Except for the pregnant wife, There is an older son, Jack, and a younger daughter, Emily."

As if recalling that painful experience, the man paused and took a deep breath: "I still remember that at that time, I sat in the open space in front with my wife and little daughter to enjoy the scenery. Not long after, the original Jack, who was playing by the pool, suddenly ran back. He said that he saw a pair of eyes under the pool, which were red and glowing eyes."

　In order to have the ambition to sacrifice, dare to change the sun and the moon for the blue sky.Long live the great Communist Party of China!Today is the [-]th anniversary of the founding of the Communist Party of China. I am really proud to be a Chinese! !Watching the party while writing a book, I can finally feel at ease!
