After having a vegetarian breakfast, my sister and I planned to go out for a walk, so we drove to Riverside Park.
Riverside Park.
It is a scenic spot here for people to have fun in their spare time.
On the contrary, when I came here with my sister, I saw crowds of people everywhere, laughter, and chatter. I couldn't help but feel a little scared, because I usually like to be quiet, and faced with such an environment, I felt a little upset.
"What's wrong? I went out to play with my sister, and I'm still so unhappy!" Seeing that I was a little dizzy, my sister knew what was going on, so she pulled back her hair and couldn't help but smile.
"No, I just always feel uncomfortable watching people turn their heads."
"Hey, the Spring Festival is so festive, let's join in the joy. No, look, the artificial waterfall has been opened now. We only see it twice a year. It's very beautiful!"
I looked up and saw that it was indeed the case. I nodded and said with a smile, "It's quite spectacular! It doesn't open normally, but only when there are so many people."
“Isn’t it all to save costs and promote urban environmental protection?”
While we were talking, my sister and I followed the footsteps of the crowd and walked towards the artificial waterfall.
When we came to the small lake under the artificial waterfall, my sister gently closed her eyes and spread her arms, as if she were a bird flying freely. She was full of girlishness. The breeze blew through her hair, and I felt a little confused.
obsessed.
"Eh!"
Just as I was watching my sister obsessed, a small commotion suddenly occurred not far from the lake, and I couldn't help but let out a sigh.
People watching the waterfall also noticed the commotion and looked over.
"Sister, let's go, something seems to have happened there, let's go over and have a look." I immediately took my sister's hand and walked towards the place where the crowd was commotion.
Watching the excitement, well, this is a fine tradition of Chinese people, and I am no exception.
When we came to the place where the crowd was commotion, my sister and I could only use the gap to see clearly the center of the commotion, where a little girl was debating something in the crowd.
The little girl is four or five years old. She has delicate features and a cute smile. She looks like a porcelain doll.
After finally squeezing in, I vaguely heard what she said to Zhou Ren.
"At 11:50:23 here, one person will die. Please pay attention."
"Hey, little girl, where are your adults? Why are you talking nonsense here!" He sounded like he was from Sichuan, and he said to the little girl with a smile in a very non-standard accent.
The people around were all smiling and thought the little girl in front of them was very cute. Of course, everyone had a childish heart and thought she was talking nonsense, and no one believed her.
It's just that on the first day of the new year, everyone is still a little unhappy to hear such unlucky words.
However, there were also some people who were interested and started making noises.
"Little girl, it's 11:33:33 now. We want to see if what you said is accurate later. If it is accurate, uncle will buy you candy."
"..."
The crowd was extremely noisy and talked about anything, but no one thought that what the little girl said was accurate, so they took it as a joke.
Seeing this situation, I also grinned: "Sister, do you think the little girl said such strange words? Will it really happen here later?"
"I don't know." My sister shook her head and smiled.
In the crowd, the little girl seemed to notice that many people were teasing her. She raised her voice and shouted, "If you don't believe it, forget it. Get out of the way. I'm leaving."
"Whose child is this? Even the adults don't take good care of it. On the first day of the new year, they just say these unlucky words. How can they die?" There was an old lady in her 60s or 70s who was holding a cane and was very unfriendly.
whining.
"Sister, let's go too!"
During the Spring Festival, especially the first day of the Lunar New Year, it is rare to have a sunny day. In my memory, it has been cloudy for many years in a row.
After such a small episode, my sister and I didn't care, so we walked up the tree-lined path.
After walking for a while, we passed a bamboo forest path. The purple bamboos on both sides of the bamboo forest formed a strange little landscape. My sister smiled at me, quickly took out her mobile phone, and said she wanted to take a photo with me.
I didn't refuse, but approached her and took pictures with her.
"Hey, isn't this the little girl just now?" My sister took two pictures and found a charming smile on her phone.
I turned around and saw that this smiling face was the little girl who everyone thought was alarmist and telling jokes just now. At this time, she was standing behind my sister and me, looking at us with a smile on her face.
"Brother, sister, let me take a picture with you." Seeing me looking at her, the little girl smiled sweetly, held up the lollipop in her hand, and smiled at me.
"Okay!" My sister smiled and did not refuse. Instead, the three of them took a group photo, and then no more photos were taken.
I squatted down and asked with a smile: "Little sister, why are you following me?"
The little girl stared at me with extremely expectant eyes. She pouted and asked, "Brother, do you believe what I just said?"
"Believe it." Seeing her being so serious, I didn't want to put any burden on her heart, so I smiled casually.
My sister also squatted down and asked, "Little sister, where are your parents?"
"They...I got separated from them." The little girl squeezed her eyes and said aggrievedly, as if she had done something wrong.
"Xiao Xia, let's take her to find her parents?" My sister smiled and pulled her pigtails, smiling slightly.
"Okay, we're just hanging out anyway." When I heard this, I nodded and said with a smile, "Little sister, where did you and your parents get lost?"
"I don't know either."
"Sister, there are a lot of people, so we might not be able to find her if we look for her, so just go to the parking lot over there and wait. Anyway, that's the entrance, so her parents should find her there."
The elder sister nodded, bent over and looked at her and smiled: "Little sister, how about we go to the parking lot and wait for your parents?"
"Okay!" The little girl's eyes widened and she nodded slightly, but the thing she was staring at was nothing else but the kapok pond that an aunt was selling not far away, "Well, big brother, sister,
I want to eat kapok pond."
"Come, sister will take you to buy." The sister shook her head, smiled slightly, picked her up, and walked towards the aunt selling kapok.
After paying the money, the little girl took the kapok in her hand and licked it, jumping up and down, feeling extremely happy.
Pulling her, we walked back along the trail. It was not too crowded when we went up, but it was very difficult when we went down. Fortunately, the little girl cleared the way and following her, our speed was much faster.
After about ten minutes, the three of them finally crossed the tree-lined path and arrived at the lake below the waterfall.
But the little girl stared at the electronic watch on her hand, suddenly raised her head and said to my sister and me: "Brother, sister, hurry up, there are still three minutes, people will die here, it's scary."
Upon hearing this, my sister and I were immediately startled.
We all thought her childish words were a joke before, but now that she says them again, it feels very mysterious.
Especially me, when I heard this, I couldn't help but feel a chill in my back. This feeling was very clear, but for just a moment, it felt like something scratched my heart.
However, I didn't pay much attention and glanced at the spectacular waterfall. My sister and I didn't say anything, but picked her up and walked outside.
As soon as we squeezed out of the lake, my sister and I heard a cry of exclamation from men, women, old and young, all looking dumbfounded.
I immediately turned around and saw a young man falling from the waterfall and landing directly on the rocks in the lake, causing a large splash of water.
"How could this happen?" I murmured at the corner of my mouth as if I was stupid for a moment.
The young man who fell down was an adult man. At this moment, he was floating motionless in the lake.
Both the waterfall and the lake are artificially made. The distance between the lake and the waterfall is at least seven or eight feet high. If you fall from above, the artificial lake is less than two meters deep. This is because the scenic area personnel have placed many strange stones in the water for the sake of beautiful scenery.
.
"Little sister, how did you know that people would die here?" The elder sister came back to her senses at some point, stared at the little girl she was holding, and asked with a pale expression.
"Sister, because I have the ability to predict things."
"Do you have the ability to predict things?" My sister found it hard to believe that the little girl she was holding had such a strange ability, and asked again in disbelief.
