Before he knew it, while Chen Yang was thinking wildly, the car had already arrived at the Greenway Park, just like usual. There are a lot of people in places like this on weekends, running, doing Tai Chi, all kinds of things, so lively.
After getting out of the car, Zhou Cai looked at Chen Yang and said with lingering fear: "Maybe you are lucky today. Look, if it weren't for your call just now, the car might have crashed. Do you think it was the luck brought by the baby?" .
Hearing his wife say this, and thinking about it carefully, it seems that it is really possible... No matter what, his bad mood suddenly disappeared. He put aside all the worries and took a walk and relaxed. Chen Yang was determined. Certainly.
There is a small square at the entrance, and a bridge connects the two sides of the river. There is a walking path on one side and a bicycle path on the other. The greenway is not too wide on both sides. It is mainly for tourists to walk and cycle. Of course, cars are not allowed to enter, and they can drive if they want to. Can't drive in. The original design of the greenway was that it could be accessed on both sides of the river, depending on how people wanted to experience it.
There are vendors of all sizes on both sides of the greenway, selling some specialties or snacks, as well as some interesting gadgets. Most of the people who come here are walking and exercising. Of course, there are more people watching than buying.
After passing one or two small bends and passing through several small woods, you can see the lake in the middle of the greenway park in the distance. Most people come here to play and relax. In the summer, you can take off your shoes and play next to it. Play in the water, the water is cool, see the wild ducks in winter, etc. There are many kinds of things.
While playing on the road, Chen Yang's restless mood gradually recovered. He looked at the protruding island in the middle of the lake and the groups of swans swimming around the island, feeling a little happy. Looking back at my wife, my big belly is like an island in the middle of the lake, surrounded by the surrounding lake water, being cared for like a baby. Chen Yang was very pleased to be in the scene.
There are groups of three or five, a bunch of four or five, and all kinds of people are smiling. It is not a fairyland on earth, but it is a happy life. Life, life may be like this, Chen Yang sighed.
When we visited the small island in the middle of the lake, volunteers organized and shouted slogans in an orderly manner to maintain order.
"Remember that there were no volunteer service teams here in the past? Not only are there today, but no one is allowed to play in the water?" A beautiful woman with a child of seven or eight years old said to a young man.
The young man's face turned red, and he said a little shyly, someone fell into the water today, and it was stuck on the protective net in the center of the lake. It took a lot of effort to fish it out. If not for the rescue of so many people, someone would have died. .
The beauty said with some reluctance: "How can we know it's true if we don't see it? If you don't let us play, we won't let you play. You can tell so many lies, but why not scare people like this?" Although the beauty was a little resentful, it seemed like Some believe it, and the tone is much softer...
Seeing that the young man said too much, he didn't believe it. This beautiful woman came to play alone with her children. Maybe it was because the beautiful woman said a few more words. After thinking about it, the young man didn't say anything else. He just said stubbornly and it was dangerous. I won't say another word.
Sometimes things are just like this. The more something is forbidden to be done, the more people will do it. Just like moths rushing to the flame, they have to move forward even though they know they will die. Maybe some are looking for that moment of warmth, and some are looking for that moment of light. Some are looking for a moment of wonder, and many youths that have disappeared in the long river of history. Maybe all kinds of life are like this.
After sending away a mother and daughter, a group of young men came again. Perhaps because of his youthful vigor and unlimited vitality, or perhaps because of his great expressiveness, he got the key from nowhere, opened the locked wooden boat, and happily rowed the wooden boat into the lake area. The young man stood on the shore. I was at a loss, seeing the boat getting further and further away but there was nothing I could do.
Except for this small island in the middle of the lake area, it is of course very open. There was nothing there in the past, but with today's travel ban, it is somewhat conspicuous. The boats on the lake are like beacons, eye-catching and unique.
A cloud drifted from nowhere in the sky, and it just covered the island as if intentionally or unintentionally. It was not too dark, not too bright, and seemed to be somewhat different from the colors of the outside world. The isolated island in the lake seemed incompatible with other places. There were a lot fewer passers-by when I arrived, and I felt it carefully as if it was covered with a layer of gauze, like a little bit of green mist in the morning of early spring.
There was a burst of laughter and laughter in the distance. It turned out to be young men returning from the cruise. The young men were not very big. The older one was probably around eighteen or nineteen years old, and the younger one was only seven or eight years old.
The play was very uncomfortable, but when I took a closer look, I found that the child was not that happy, but a little calm, with deep eyes, and the incompatible temperament seemed a bit weird. Chen Yang looked at this group of unruly young men with some curiosity.
I saw them ashore, without tying up the small cruise ship, and just threw it on the shore of the lake. It was about to drift away slowly. I don’t know if Chen Yang was suffering from obsessive-compulsive disorder or because he was overflowing with love. He reminded: "Oh, my friend, your boat is not fastened yet." "What does it have to do with you?" An older guy with fair skin said with disdain.
A thin child standing in the crowd looked at Chen Yang with a strange look in his eyes as he pushed aside the people in front of him.
He looked at Chen Yang with some deep eyes, then turned his head and said softly to his partner: "This friend is right, you guys go and tie the boat?" I saw the fair-skinned young man just now seemed to have accepted an order, as if After accepting the task, without saying a word, he turned around and went to execute it.
Chen Yang was a little surprised. Usually when they played together when they were young, the children listened to the older ones. Now the situation was a little beyond the norm. But just thinking about it, he didn't care. After all, these people were not familiar with him. Maybe he was with them now. It was just a little different when I was a kid.
Seeing that his goal had been achieved, Chen Yang didn't need to say anything, so he turned around and left with his wife.
Before Chen Yang could get far, he saw a boatman wearing a yellow vest holding an oar from the lake. The sound of the motor roared, like thunder, and like a warning bell, it kept ringing. The oar drove straight towards Chen Yang's position without slowing down at all. Just when it was about to hit the shore, it suddenly drifted sideways and a small boat stopped on the shore.
"Children, have you had enough fun? I told you that you can't play today or sail on the boat. Not only did you not listen, you went out privately. What do you think we should do now?" the middle-aged boatman said loudly, his voice like a bullfight, and then Coupled with some wheat-colored skin and a somewhat resolute face, he looks a bit calm and confident.
The group of young men suddenly became a little quiet, and became silent, and instantly became good children. No one answered. At this moment, the thin child spoke, and the other young men felt relieved. All eyes turned to him. I saw the child pursed his lips and said,
"Uncle Jing, this was my idea. If you want to blame, just blame me. It has nothing to do with these people. They were just temporary help that I asked for." Although the child said this, if you don't look at his expression, you can still feel a sense of pride. , but coupled with the indifference on his face and the heavy look in his eyes, he said such words without any emotion.
Uncle Jing restrained his cynicism and said unhappily: "Did I ask you? You're too talkative..." Then he turned to the others and said: "You guys go, I wanted to do something, but since I'm being treated like this It’s none of your business if I hire you, just leave.”
These people left quickly, and not long after, a strange change occurred in the center of the lake. A small whirlpool in the lake became bigger and bigger, and it made a clattering sound as it approached the shore here, getting bigger and bigger, like a whirlpool that chooses people to eat. The monster's mouth.
Uncle Jing, who was still standing on the oar, seemed to have eyes behind his back, without even looking at him. I saw him waving his hands and saying to the crowd who had not yet left: "You should leave quickly. If you don't leave, you may not be able to leave."
Chen Yang looked at the middle-aged uncle and said nothing. After what happened in the past two days, he might have had some small feelings, but it was not a good thing anyway. He immediately picked up his wife and turned around and left, without looking back to watch the excitement.
Are you kidding? My wife is pregnant with a child and doesn’t want to be involved in such weird things. Zhou Cai was a little puzzled, like a very curious child, looking at the lake with curious eyes expressing puzzlement.
Seeing that Chen Yang didn't open his mouth to explain, he just kept pulling him away, as if his husband knew something about this matter. Women are like this sometimes. The more confused they are, the more they want to know something, and then they stop and want to find out.
At this time, Chen Yang did not stop, but hurriedly said to his wife: "I'll tell you when we get in the car. I don't know exactly, but I don't feel good anyway." Seeing that Chen Yang didn't want to continue, Zhou Cai Unable to suppress his inner curiosity, Chen Yang stopped and wanted to ask something, so Chen Yang pulled Zhou Cai and continued walking back.
As he walked, the green mist gradually became thicker. Chen Yang felt a sense of familiarity, and his heart was excited. He secretly thought that this feeling must not come out. We have to leave here quickly. Think about that scene. It really makes my hair stand on end. My wife can’t walk fast even though she has a big belly, what should I do? Chen Yang panicked in his heart. In the past, Chen Yang could not panic when he encountered anything. Now he was helpless and extremely panicked.
Don't panic, don't panic, Chen Yang calmed his heart, as if hypnotizing himself, reminding himself to prevent himself from running out of ideas.
The fog is getting thicker and thicker, and the bright sunshine in the sky is no longer visible. You can actually see a trace of different colors at the intersection. The cars in the parking lot in the distance are like colorful fortresses. In a trance, the intersection slowly becomes like an illusion. In the space, the way it came from has disappeared, only the car is still parked in it, and the last trace of sunlight has disappeared, just like the closed curtains, without the sunshine, only the dark room is left, and you can see things through the curtains. It's all blurry.
The road in front of him was like a road cut by a knife. The road was cut open, and there was a bottomless abyss in the middle. The heavy fog around him slowly descended. Chen Yang's heart sank to the bottom, and his eyes were as quiet as those in the abyss. The monster was a little cold and his face looked pale.
Zhou Cai looked around, and finally the fear on her face became more and more intense. Just when she could no longer bear it, a pair of hands shook her shoulders hard, and then she hugged her. At this time, Chen Yang hugged Zhou Cai .
Chen Yang comforted Zhou Cai, and then said: "We will be fine. I can't explain it clearly for a while, but we will be fine anyway."
People were getting out of the car one after another in the parking lot. There were not many people, only four or five people. These were the people who didn't leave at the end. I saw a child and a beautiful woman in the crowd, who seemed to be the pair they just met. Wow, there was actually the young volunteer guy, an old man with gray hair, and a sturdy guy with glasses, which looked a little weird.
Chen Yang thought about it and felt that he should be able to walk out, so he asked Zhou Cai to continue walking forward. If the situation was the same as what A Jian encountered, he should be able to leave here, so he said nothing. When they started to take action, other people were confused when they saw this, so they stopped Chen Yang and his wife. "There is no road ahead, where are you going? Are you going to jump over it?"
Chen Yang originally didn't want to pay attention to them, but now that he was stopped, he had to say: "You don't need me to say anything now. Have you ever encountered such a strange situation?" Chen Yang asked back.
The man with glasses pushed up his glasses and said impatiently: "I tried and the car didn't start. But you had a car but it didn't start. You just left. I looked at the parking lot. That car should be yours. I If the guess is good." Then Chen Yanggang wanted to explain.
The white-haired old man continued: "Yes, when we discovered something was wrong just now, everyone was preparing to drive away from here, but no one could start the ignition. And after you came out of the trail, not only did you not drive, but you brought a pregnant woman with you. It is not common sense for a pregnant person to leave on foot, so I have to suspect that you are different from others."
Only then did Chen Yang realize that everyone was looking at him, including his wife. The difference is that his wife only has doubts in her eyes, but there is a trace of doubt in the eyes of others.
Then Chen Yang didn't explain first. He knew that rushing to explain at this time might be counterproductive. People's hearts are the most unpredictable, so at this time, he must be calmer.
So he slowly said, "Have any of you ever seen something like this happen?" No one said anything, as if waiting for Chengyang to continue. Maybe you want to wait for Chen Yang to explain.
Chen Yang didn't see anyone replying. He glanced at everyone one by one, and when he was about to continue explaining, a milky voice suddenly sounded.
"Mom, Mom. The fog is here again, the fog is here again, it's so annoying, and there are so many monsters. Mom, take me away." It was the beautiful woman and child.
When the beauty saw that everyone's eyes were focused on him, her face turned a little red and her face darkened. Then she withdrew her gaze, looked at the child tenderly, and asked softly: "Li, don't be afraid, mom is here, there are no monsters." , Don’t be afraid, don’t be afraid, mom can fight monsters, don’t be afraid, don’t be afraid…”
