Chapter 22 The Nameless Pool
Walk along the mountain road of Chenjiaping and walk two or three miles into the mountain, and there is a water pool covering an area of ​​hundreds of feet.

Usually, the water in this pool is crystal clear, but at this time of the year, it is the day when the tide is everywhere.

Because of the torrential rain for several days in a row a few days ago, the water in this pool has also risen a lot.

The pool, which was originally clear and low, also began to become turbid.

It's not just this year. In fact, this pool will look like this every year at this time.

Although the weather was not good a few days ago, today, it is considered to be windy and sunny. Even if you wear a vest, you don't feel the slightest chill under the sun.

Near this pool of water, several children are playing by the pool.

Although their parents often warn them not to play in the water, especially not to come to this pool to play in the water.

But children are children after all. For their parents, they always like to go in one ear and out the other.

These children were all barefoot, and they had a great time playing in the shallow water of the pool.

"Ah!" At this moment, a sudden cry came.

Originally, there were four or five children playing by the pool, but at this time, one of them didn't know what was going on.

Suddenly, he staggered and fell into the pool.

Originally, the water beside the pool was not very deep. I don't know if it was because of the child's wild struggle or other reasons, but the child sank slowly like this, and disappeared in a blink of an eye.

This scene happened very suddenly.

Although the other children saw it, they were completely at a loss and didn't know what to do because of panic, except for screaming loudly.

"It's not good! It's not good! Xiao Zhi fell into the water!"

After being stunned for a while, the remaining children woke up with a start, hurriedly climbed ashore, shouting for help, and scattered around.

There are still more than ten families near this pool.

As the group of children called for help, a dozen or so adults rushed over in no time.

Although they are not relatives of the child who fell into the water, the people in the mountains are simple.

Besides, they are all from the folks in the village. If something happens to their children, it is impossible for them to ignore it.

When they ran to the pool, the men took off their coats without saying a word, and plunged into the pool.

Although those children clearly pointed out the place where the child named Xiao Zhi fell into the water, these men searched the vicinity for a long time, but found nothing at all.

"Xiaozhi! Xiaozhi..."

More and more people gathered by the pool. At this moment, a woman appeared to be crazy, and rushed towards her with loose hair.

Pushing aside the crowd, kneeling by the pool, tears gushed out of the woman's eyes.

This woman is the mother of the child who fell into the water.

"Everyone help! Save my son! Save my son!"

She knelt on the ground and kept begging everyone present. Her mind seemed to be a little less clear because of this severe blow.

That is to say, she can't swim, otherwise, she must have jumped into the pool immediately.

"Plop! Plop!" There was another sound of falling into the water.

A dozen or so men had already taken off their coats, and began to search for the child in the water.

"Hey! This pool drowns several children at this time of year."

"It's been so long, and I haven't found any trace of Xiao Zhi. I'm afraid it's a bad luck!"

"These kids are just disobedient. I don't know how many times I have warned them, but they always like to run here!"

…………

In the ears, listening to the surrounding discussions.

This woman's face was ashen, she rolled up her trousers, she couldn't swim, she was ready to go into the pool by herself.

"Fucking child! No, you can't swim, I'd better go down!" At this moment, a big hand reached out and grabbed the woman's hand.

The owner of this big hand is a middle-aged man. Seeing his panting appearance, he should have arrived here just now.

"His father, if something happens to Xiaozhi, I won't live anymore!"

Looking at the middle-aged man in front of her, the woman burst into tears.

This middle-aged man is Xiao Zhi's father. He was busy with farm work in the fields. When he heard the news of his child's accident, he rushed over immediately, but it was still a bit late.

"Jianguo, you'd better look at your daughter-in-law, whether it's a blessing or a curse, you can't avoid the disaster."

"So many folks have gone into the water to find your family, Xiaozhi, and you are not missing any of them!"

At this time, an old man came over with a cane, and gently patted the middle-aged man on the shoulder, and he comforted him.

"En! Third Uncle!" Biting his lip, the middle-aged man named Jianguo nodded and responded.

The water pool is not that big, logically speaking, a dozen or twenty men went up and down, searching inside and out, and should have searched the water pool all over.

But the strange thing is that after several hours, the child named Xiao Zhi who fell into the water is still nowhere to be seen.

Even so, the group of men who searched for Xiaozhi in the pool still had no intention of giving up.

Of course, it is definitely essential to go ashore for a rest occasionally during this period.

In the past half a day, there have been more and more people watching around the pool.

Even people who are several miles away from here specially come here to join in the fun.

"This child is so pitiful, why did he fall into this pool for no reason?"

"That's right! This pool is so big. I searched for a long time and couldn't find any shadow. If you want to see people in this life, even if you die, there must be a corpse!"

"You guys don't understand. Isn't that the same for the children who drown every year in this pool?"

"Every time, when I first fell, when I wanted to find it, I couldn't find it at all, but after a few hours, the corpse floated up again."

"According to me, this pool is very evil. Maybe it's that thing pulling people in the pool!"

…………

There are more people watching, and more and more people talking about it.

In the mouths of everyone, the whole matter became more and more mysterious.

"Ghosts, people, are there ghosts in this world? If there are ghosts, then maybe I can be counted as a ghost!"

Wearing a big vest and a pair of rotten slippers, Chen Hai was mixed among the crowd.

When I went home last night, I was scolded by my parents.

Coupled with the breakthrough of distance, he really stepped into the realm of day travel, and it has been indefinitely. He was bored in his heart, and wanted to wander around for a while.

Seeing many people running here to watch the fun, Chen Hai naturally followed.

Although everyone said it was so unreliable, he still didn't quite believe it.
