triple world

It was late at night, and the three of them fell asleep after communicating for a while.

Around midnight, Fu Yan woke up dazed and fell into a strange state.

He clearly knew that he was awake, but he didn't have the slightest desire to open his eyes, and he didn't even want to move. In his mind, he imagined wildly, a series of random lines moving, black and white blocks shrinking and zooming in quickly, without any change. law.

Lazy, this is a very comfortable state.

There was a warm heat behind Fu Yan, and he thought it might be Gu Wensheng who was leaning behind him.

In the silence he heard light footsteps again, crunching as they landed on the wooden floor.

The people around him didn't move at all.

Neither Gu Wensheng nor Song Yu would sleep soundly at night, especially since there are many secrets hidden in this house itself, but they didn't respond to the clear footsteps now. Could it be that he was dreaming?

Fu Yan has gradually lost the distinction between reality and dreams.

He heard footsteps stop beside him, and someone sat down beside him, and after a while, a hand gently stroked his hair, gently stroked again and again.

Fu Yan didn't feel the slightest danger, he felt comfortable in each touch.

When he was about to fall asleep, he heard the person next to him whisper: "Huanhuan, brother and sister are gone, you have to live well, grandma is only you."

The person who spoke was the old lady, and the "Huanhuan" in her mouth was probably the youngest girl.

The bed where Fu Yan and Gu Wensheng slept was once where the little girl lived with her grandmother, and she was still sleeping here before she was transferred to the straw pile in the dark basement.

The old lady said something again, but Fu Yan couldn't hear him. The overwhelming drowsiness made him unable to stay awake, and finally fell into sleep.

***

This night Fu Yan slept exceptionally well, he felt an indescribable tranquility, so that when he woke up, Gu Wensheng was already walking outside, but he didn't know when Gu Wensheng left.

"Brother Fu, are you awake?" Because Fu Yan was still sleeping, Song Yu didn't even dare to speak under the pressure of Gu Wensheng, and right now Fu Yan couldn't hold back his words as soon as he opened his eyes.

Fu Yan rubbed his hair and sat up: "I also had that old lady in our room last night."

Gu Wensheng paused, and hurriedly asked, "Brother, why didn't you call me, is there nothing wrong?"

"No." Fu Yan waved his hand and comforted him, "Just stroking my hair. I probably know something. The bed we are sleeping on now belongs to the youngest girl and the old lady in this family."

"Did you see it?" Song Yu asked. Seeing a phantom lying next to him in the middle of the night should be a scary scene.

"I heard it. The little girl is called Huanhuan. The old lady said that her two older brothers and sisters are gone. She should live well before moving to the basement."

Gu Wensheng was still a little concerned, he didn't even notice the slightest movement last night.

Fu Yan looked at his frowning brows and was a little funny: "It's the same as on the stairs before, you still can't hear what you can't hear, why do you care about such things?"

Fu Yan said a few more words, and Gu Wensheng's brows relaxed slightly, but he probably didn't listen to Fu Yan's words.

Gu Wensheng carefully asked about Fu Yan's feeling when he was sleeping, and suddenly thought of what happened to Li Qian at night before: "Then before Li Qian saw a black shadow lifting Shen Wen's quilt, would it be the same as you, brother? Blanket someone?"

When children and adults sleep together, they are usually guarded against the inner side of the wall to prevent them from accidentally rolling out of bed at night, so it is likely that Fu Yan happened to experience this scene because he slept in that position.

Based on the number of people in this family of seven, since the old lady and the little girl live here, the bed next to the girl is probably the grandfather of the little girl, and the other two children and the couple should live in the east. In the house, it is very likely that the bed that Shen Wen slept on belonged to one of the two children.

It doesn't seem strange that grandma gets up in the middle of the night to cover the child with a quilt.

It's just that this is their guess. If they don't hear anything or see the picture, they can't draw a conclusion about the real situation, so they will put it on hold for now.

Fu Yan and the others are going to the lotus pond today. While proceeding to the next step according to the itinerary, Fu Yan and the others also need to verify one thing-whether one of the two children is left in the lotus pond.

The reason why the old lady wanted to kill her only remaining granddaughter must be because she might face death after being discovered, and at this moment, Fu Yan and the others knew that the oldest boy was floating in the river now, It has become something that is neither human nor ghost. Perhaps this is something that the old lady would rather do it herself than let her little granddaughter encounter it.

So they should be vigilant when visiting the lotus pond today.

Not long after, the voices from Gong Ming's side also rang out, and everyone was already awake.

Unlike Fu Yan and the others, nothing strange happened there. The only thing worth mentioning was that they didn't sleep well at night because of the scenes they saw in the basement.

Gong Ming and the others were fine except for the dark circles under their eyes, but Li Qian's mental state seemed very wrong. Fu Yan and the others didn't even give a glance when they were talking, and their eyes were a little dull, but fortunately, they would follow everyone. When the troops move, no one cares about her.

No matter what happened by the river during the time when Fu Yan and the others left, Li Qian just lost her boyfriend, so she will be affected to a certain extent.

The group had breakfast at the house next door and was ready to set off. There was a route leading to the lotus pond on the map. After a closer look, they had to pass the bus they took when they first arrived and drove away to the woods they entered.

The hostess of this family didn't know why she was in such a good mood, she laughed several times just during the breakfast time, she looked radiant, and even sent them to the fork in the road, telling them how to get to the lotus pond.

What she said was the same as what was shown on the map, and after she finished speaking, she turned around and went back to the village, with brisk steps that could not hide her joy, just looking at her back, Fu Yan and the others felt a little weird.

"I always feel that something bad is about to happen." Wang Xiaona said, "She was very happy when we said we were going to the lotus pond yesterday, and she didn't mention too many... things."

She froze for a moment, and took a look at Li Qian. The other party was caught in her own world and didn't seem to notice what she was saying, so she completed the remaining words.

But now, in front of them was a forest, where the dense leaves were so dense that even the light could not penetrate.

The road under their feet stretched into the woods, and there was no light to be seen for a while.

Gong Ming smiled: "Don't be so nervous, just pay attention when you get there later."

When they were leaving the house next door, the woman took the initiative to give them a flashlight, saying that the forest was a little big and it was a little dark in it, and told them to pay attention, it was a little light to see the road.

They thought it was an exaggeration, but when they walked in, they realized that it was not a bit dark, but really dark.

Originally they were conspiratorially thinking that turning on the lights would easily attract something, but now it seems that they thought too much, and that woman didn't want Fu Yan and the others to have any problems on the way to the lotus pond.

Except for the light source at the entrance when they came, you can't see your fingers when you turn your back, and you can't see the light from the exit in front of you. This forest is indeed a bit big.

Gong Ming turned on the flashlight, and the bright white light from far away made people feel more at ease.

The surrounding trees are dense, and if you shine into the depths of the forest, it will soon be blocked by overlapping leaves and branches, and you cannot see the depth.

The group of people didn't take a walk here, they all quickened their pace, and after turning two corners, they saw the light source at the exit.

After really walking out of this forest path, everyone felt like they had escaped from the sky. It was too depressing in that forest, but they didn't know why the people of Sanlong Village didn't cut down some trees.

But this village is weird, and it is normal to do nothing.

After more than ten minutes, according to the route on the map, Fu Yan and the others finally arrived at the destination of today's itinerary - the lotus pond.

In the parcel of farmland, the existence of this large lotus pond caught their attention from afar, so that they didn't have to look at the map at all.

It is summer, and the pond is covered with green lotus leaves, and pink lotus flowers are blooming on the stems extending from it, some are still in buds, and some are in full bloom, some of the petals near the center have fallen off, leaving only the inside The green lotus pod swayed slightly in the warm wind.

As far as the area is large, it is actually not that big. Several people present have seen larger lotus ponds. The lotus pond in Sanlong Village is probably just enough for a corner of someone’s house, but there is something far better than that here. any lotus they had seen before.

The flowers bloom very brightly.

The lotus leaves are ordinary lotus leaves, but the pink on those petals is boundless and charming, which can catch people's eyes at once and make people unable to bear to move them away.

There are photos of the lotus pond in the atlas in Gong Ming's hand, but everyone thought it was a beautified picture at first, but they didn't expect that the lotus flowers were more amazing than the photos when they actually saw them.

"This flower is so beautiful..." Wang Xiaona said slowly, "I swear this is the first time I have seen such a beautiful lotus."

"The more beautiful it is, the more dangerous it is. You won't know if there is anything under those lotus flowers." Gu Wensheng broke her fantasy indifferently.

The lotus leaves here are densely covered, hardly revealing much of the water surface, and the sparkling light in those small gaps will only remind them of what happened by the river before.

Gong Ming raised his hand and signaled everyone to look over: "We can't just watch here, the schedule requires us to pick lotus and lotus pods, not just watch here."

But when everyone looked into the lotus pond, all the blooming lotus flowers and green lotus pods were inside, in a position that they could never touch from the shore.

Soon, they found several large round wooden barrels by the pool. They were not tall, but they were large enough to accommodate several people.

"It seems that we must go in." Fu Yan said softly.
