After they swam the largest lake, Mercury pulled Yaoxin to the right road again, with signs standing around her. She seemed casual, but in fact she had a clear goal to take people to another smaller lake. Lotus leaves grew here, and there were large balls of water plants and reeds by the lake. A small bamboo pavilion extended to the center of the lake.

Yao Xin did not let Yao Yue down on her guidance. When she saw it from afar, she pointed to the pavilion and said, "Let's go to that pavilion and take a look."

However, when I got closer, I found that the pavilion was stopped and tourists were not allowed to go there. Mercury was wandering around and looked at the surrounding environment carefully.

A staff member was driving a boat to catch things in the lake. Dad Tang asked him: "I wonder, why can't this pavilion go past? Is there an opening time?"

The staff member didn't want to pay attention to people, waved his hand at them, looked at the two children of Yaoxin and Yaoyue, and then said, "Don't go there, take the children here, go quickly and leave quickly."

Tang's father and mother were confused and didn't want to pay attention to them when they saw that they didn't want to pay attention to them, so they had to pull the two children away. Yaoxin frowned unhappily and complained to her family, "He is so rude and speaks fiercely."

There were also staff members passing by on the roadside here. Mercury stopped a female staff member who looked at her kind-hearted face, "Sister, can you go up the bamboo pavilion over there?"

The female employee looked at them and showed a sorry look, "I'm sorry, it's not safe to go there now. There are no guardrails, and there are no tourists there, and the scenery is not very good. I suggest you guys go to a few small lakes over there, which is a waterbird habitat."

Mercury pulled the topic back, and a look of grievance appeared on her face: "But I want to go to the bamboo pavilion over there."

Yaoxin also nodded violently. She certainly liked what her sister liked, so she also liked to support her!

The female employee had no choice but to tell the two parents: "Actually, there was some accident there before. One parent didn't care about the child and fell into the water there..."

Dad and Mom Tang immediately expressed serious expressions, thanked the others quickly and pulled the two children away. Obviously, they were still scared by this and repeatedly reminded their two daughters, "Can't you run there secretly? Do you know it dangerously?"

"Okay, there must be some pavilion, let's go to see other places."

Yaoxin was soon distracted by her parents. Mercury seemed obedient and followed them to find other pavilions. She was still analyzing the environment just now and speculating in her mind about Yan Shan's death.

Even though she was not just here to have a vacation and play, but wanted to see Yan Shan's death scene, as a child and her family, she could really have fun and relaxation when traveling, especially when she was around her, who was lively and energetic but not annoying.

In the afternoon, the family was looking for a restaurant to eat, and Mercury was so tired that she didn't want to talk. Her body was really weak because it was a "setting" weakness and could not even rely on physical exercise and medicine to strengthen it.

She sat there silently and ate a jelly-like dessert, while resting and listening to the other three people talking.

Not far from them, Yan Changshan sat behind a pillar. The pillar just hid his figure. As long as his body leaned forward, he could see the expressions and movements of the family of four clearly.

He saw the family talking and laughing, not knowing what they were talking about. The little girl who scared him sat quietly, occasionally smiling as others said something, and the other little girl next to her was more lively. Slowly, their figures merged into one and became his daughter Yan Shan.

Yan Changshan's hands began to tremble.

"Sir? This is your meal, and it's all served." The waiter who delivered the meal came over and shouted strangely. Yan Changshan immediately came back to his senses, lowered his head and coughed, covering his face.

"Okay, thank you." He said hoarsely.

Mercury there seemed to be some sense, and looked up at the restaurant where many people were eating.

"Yao Yue!" Yao Xin pulled her, "I heard that someone danced in the park at night, and even invited singers to sing. Let's go and see!"

Mother Tang: "You have been on the bus for so long in the morning, aren't you still sleepy?"

Yao Xin: "We are not sleepy or we are sleepy. We will come back to bed after we finish watching!"

Mother Tang asked her younger daughter again: "Does Yaoyue want to go?"

Mercury: "I won't go, I'll rest in the room myself."

Yaoxin felt a little regretful: "Ah? You're tired, so I won't go."

Mercury: "I can't go when I'm tired, but I want to see it. You go and see it, come back and tell me, and take photos."

Yaoxin was solved by this sentence. Mercury originally wanted Tang's father and Tang's mother to take Yaoxin over to play, but the two disagreed and finally discussed letting Tang's mother stay in the hotel to accompany her youngest daughter.

Although Mercury felt that she didn't need it, she was very grateful for the care of the couple. She stayed in the house for a while and was not ready to go out, but accidentally saw the staff member who was fishing for things by the lake in the afternoon, Mercury felt that he should know something, so she pulled Tang's mother's hand, "Mom, let's go downstairs for a walk?"

Mother Tang took her down.

The man who was salvaging things in the lake sat there smoking, and Mercury sat in a nearby place. If an adult wanted to talk to someone, it might be abrupt, but children have privileges, and their curiosity at any time and anywhere generally does not arouse doubts.

So Mercury raised a sweet smile and said to the man: "Uncle, I saw you fishing for things in the lake in the afternoon. What are you fishing for?"

The man is a little older and looks like he is not a good-tempered person, but when he glances at her, he quickly answers her unexpectedly: "Fare everything, garbage thrown by tourists, cell phones that fall into it."

Mercury leaned closer and whispered: "A sister said there was a child falling into the lake there. Is it a little girl?"

The nasolabial folds on the man's face were a little serious, "Is it... or I caught it, right under that piece of aquatic plants."

Mercury stared at her eyes in surprise and covered her mouth with her hands. She looked like she was scared. Tang's mother pulled her from behind, as if she was asking her not to talk about this to others. Mercury turned her head to look at Tang's mother, and said in a sad tone: "Then are her parents very sad?"

The man blew up the ashes, "Her father came first, and he kept shaking, his body was wet and sweaty. Her mother also fainted from crying. When the child's body was caught, her father kept holding it and crying, not letting people get close to him, and was so sad that he was so sad. So children should not go to the water to play."

Without asking anything, Mercury ended the conversation and pulled Tang's mother to go back upstairs.

Suddenly, her eyes narrowed, and there was a person's back in front of her, which looked so much like Yan Changshan.

"Mom, give me your phone, I'll call my dad." Mercury made a quick decision, looked at the back, and got the phone from Tang's mother.

She called not Dad Tang’s phone number, but Yan Changshan’s.

The back was moving forward. Mercury heard the phone ringing in his ears. At the same time, the man quickly took out his glowing phone from his pocket, and the vague ringing sound was the same.

It's him!

He actually came here with him!

Mercury put down the phone and heard Tang's mother ask, "What's wrong? No one answers?"

"No, I called the wrong person." Mercury's sweet tone did not change at all. He watched Yan Changshan's back disappear in the darkness and found his phone again. The phone was answered, and the noisy and clamored there seemed to be very lively. Dad Tang had to ask loudly: "What's wrong?"

Mercury held Tang's mother's hand, staring at Yan Changshan's disappearing darkness: "Dad, please bring Yaoxin back early."

Dad Tang laughed over there: "It's Yaoyue, what's wrong? Is it boring to be there with my mother?"

Mercury: "No, I'm afraid."

Mother Tang shook her head funny and took the phone: "This child just talked to someone and heard that a little girl drowned by the lake may be scared. Okay, don't play too late. Let's come back early, let's go together tomorrow."

Mercury tiptoed to answer the phone. Tang's mother cooperated to hand the phone to her. Mercury said cautiously: "Dad, look at Yaoxin when you come back, don't let her walk alone, pay attention to the dark places, don't walk by the lake."

Dad Tang agreed to her one by one.

Half an hour later, Dad Tang and Yaoxin came back safely. Yaoxin came over with a camera to share photos with her, "It's a pity that you didn't go. I still haven't taken a lot of things, look..."

Mercury asked her: "Have you seen any strange people? They covered their faces with hats?"

Yao Xin thought about it in a daze, "It seems that there is no."

Mercury didn't fall asleep all night. She was sure that the back that left was Yan Changshan, and there would be nothing good for him to appear here at this time. According to his performance during this period, maybe he is mentally abnormal now. In this state, he may not necessarily do anything terrible.

She must pay close attention.

The next day, the family was still wandering around the scenic area. Mercury kept paying attention to whether there were any traces of Yan Changshan around. Unfortunately, there was no discovery at all. It was simply a bit doubtful if she had read it wrong last night.

It was almost evening again, and the family was having dinner in the restaurant. Tang's mother went to the front desk to order food. Yaoxin stood up and wanted to go to the toilet. Just in case, Mercury immediately got up and followed.

The toilet in the restaurant is in a compartment, with one of the four toilets locked from the inside. Yao Xin picked one in casually and pushed the one next to her, "Yao Yue, you go to this."

Mercury: "Well, hurry up."

As soon as Yao Xin walked into the side of the door, the locked compartment in the toilet was opened. Mercury saw Yan Changshan wearing a coat at a glance. Her pupils shrank and she immediately opened her mouth and shouted: "Save--"

Yan Changshan had already rushed up quickly, holding a towel in his hand to cover her mouth and nose. Mercury immediately held his breath and struggled, and he grabbed Yan Changshan's eyes with his hands without hesitation, but her child's body was too weak. Faced with the power of an adult man, she had no power to resist.

Yaoxin heard her sister's voice and knocked on the toilet door, "Yaoyue, what did you say?"

She didn't hear the response, she raised her pants and opened the door, and found that the younger sister standing outside the door was gone.

"Yao Yue?"

"Three sisters?"

...

At dusk, the sky slowly faded. Yan Changshan hugged the quiet child in his arms tightly, patted her back with one hand, and walked towards the bamboo-ting lake where there were few people.

Mercury still had consciousness, but she didn't have much strength. She was held in Yan Changshan's arms and recognized where the road was going. She felt a little enlightened in her heart. Yan Changshan wanted to take her to the place where Yan Shan drowned.

She was extremely calm in her heart, trying to make a weak voice, and tried to get as close to Yan Shan's tone, "Dad, do you want to drown Shanshan again?"
