Chapter 934 The monster asking for help
A familiar sign with the words "No Approach" written in red paint in big letters.
Compared to the last time I saw it, this time there were a few big exclamation marks following the words.
The two brothers, Pei Liang and Pei You, followed Xiao Xiao's line of sight and looked at the sign.
"The signs have been erected, and the adults at home must have reminded them many times, but why do children still come here to play?"
There was a hint of sigh in Pei You's voice.
To be honest, she felt very uncomfortable.
She really thought it was a monster.
Although Master Xiao did not answer her question directly, didn't he imply that he recognized her thoughts?
Moreover, she really heard the monster's invitation to her, "Play with me."
She always regretted not responding to that invitation.
She even thought that this was a lonely monster, right?
Now, she just felt that all her previous ideas were just a joke.
Embarrassed, angry, sad, helpless...all kinds of emotions were entangled in her heart, making her dizzy and confused.
She couldn't wait to call Master Xiao.
Even with a bit of questioning emotion.
Why?
Obviously...she asked.
Master Xiao also said that it was just a playful monster!
No malicious intent.
So, why?
……
After hearing the news from her mother that a child had drowned this morning, she was stunned.
She ran out immediately.
An ambulance with red lights flashing and siren blaring roared past her.
She stopped running, her breathing was rapid and her chest was rumbling.
She didn't start running again until the ambulance disappeared from her sight.
……
There was a commotion.
The onlookers murmured.
"...It's so pitiful...The grandson of Lao Li's family is only seven years old, right?"
"I remember... that child's name was Doudou, right? He was so skinny that he couldn't sit still like a jumping bean."
……
"The kids traveling with me said that Doudou has good water properties, and he always likes to use this to scare them."
"Just suddenly emerging from the water to scare them."
"This time they also thought that Doudou was repeating his old tricks and hiding in some hidden place to scare them."
……
"But it took too long."
"The kids sensed something was wrong."
"Later they found Doudou who had lost his voice in the cracks of the stone."
"The kids were terrified."
……
"It's so miserable."
"Yes, but to put it bluntly, it was the kid himself who did it."
"With such a sign erected here, the adults in the family must have told me many times not to play here."
"Have those children finally learned a lesson now?"
……
"But it's strange to say that the child is good at swimming and often comes here to play, so why did something happen?"
"Could it be that he has leg cramps? Because he wanted to scare people, he hid in a relatively hidden position, so that when he struggled, he was not discovered by others."
"Hey~"
……
Pei You's ears buzzed.
I was accidentally hit by the person next to me.
Just when she was about to fall to the ground, someone reached out to help her.
She raised her eyes and saw that it was Pei Liang.
"Brother."
She murmured, "How could this happen?"
It shouldn't be like this.
……
At this time, the riverside was no longer bustling with activity in the morning.
The huge gap made the Pei brothers and sisters feel a bit depressed.
……
Several people came to the river.
The river was as calm as before, and the clear and deep water surface rippled like fine scales when the wind blew.
Xiao Xiao squatted down and looked into the water.
The other two people squatted down when they saw this, looking at where Xiao Xiao's gaze fell with wide eyes, trying to see something.
……
"Save...save, life...save..."
The indistinct sound was almost lost in the faint sound of the wind.
Pei You was stunned for a moment, she raised her head, and the hair on her cheeks brushed the corners of her mouth. She looked at Pei Liang aside, "Brother, did you hear anything?"
"What sound?"
Pei Liang listened subconsciously, "No."
"Can-"
The sound stopped suddenly.
The girl suddenly realized something and didn't bother to explain to her confused brother. She suddenly put her hand on his shoulder and shouted to Xiao Xiao on the other side, "Master Xiao!"
Because she was too excited, the girl's voice was so sharp that it was slightly distorted.
"I, I heard it!"
……
Xiao Xiao got up and walked over.
What can make a girl so excited..."The voice of a monster?"
"Yeah."
The girl nodded like garlic, her eyes sparkling, "I, I heard it!"
"Ah!"
The girl exclaimed, and the excitement on her face was replaced by a burnt look, "Master Xiao, it's asking for help!"
"It-"
"I know."
Xiao Xiao comforted the panicked girl with a gentle voice, "Don't worry."
……
"Xiaoyou, it's okay."
Pei Liang gently patted his sister on the shoulder, "Let's go back a little and don't disturb Master Xiao."
He pulled Pei You to make room for Xiao Xiao.
Pei You tried to calm down.
He looked into the water frantically.
But nothing was found.
She suddenly felt like a bucket of cold water had been poured on her.
Sure enough, she could only hear sounds?
Actually, it’s not bad to be able to hear the sound.
She comforted herself.
At least he had some contact with monsters.
Even if you can only hear its sound but not see its form.
It was better than having the monster right beside her and not even noticing it.
Moreover, I thought it would be the next time I could hear the monster's voice, but I didn't expect this wish to come true so quickly.
Although, the content is very unexpected.
She actually heard the monster calling for help? !
……
"...Help, help..."
heard it.
However, such an intermittent and weak voice...
Xiao Xiao couldn't help but frown slightly.
Obviously, the monster was still very energetic when we were separated last time. It couldn't stop for a moment, and all it could think about was finding someone to play with it.
We haven't seen each other for a few days, why is my voice so weak?
What happened?
……
"Wow~Wow~"
Xiao Xiao walked into the river and caught the sound of drowning ghosts in his ears.
"Plop~"
He got into the water.
The drowned ghost's cry for help was a bit clearer than what was heard above.
……
When he followed the sound and found the drowned ghost, the familiar scene in front of him made a glint of coldness flash across his eyes.
……
"Later they found Doudou who had lost his voice in the cracks of the stone."
……
"In the cracks of the stone...?"
Xiao Xiao smiled inexplicably.
What a coincidence.
The drowned ghost in front of him was also caught in the cracks of the stone.
The head is inside.
The body hangs limply outside, and the drooping limbs appear unnatural, twitching from time to time.
"...Help, help..."
Occasionally, a vague cry for help floated out from the cracks.
……
"Drunken ghost."
Xiao Xiao called out.
