"First of all, let me introduce you why we went to the lakeside in the middle of the night."

Harper lowered his voice and his face became serious: "A few days ago, my friend was fishing by the shadow of the lake at night. Don't doubt it, he was just a freak and liked to fish at night. At twelve o'clock, there was suddenly a heavy fog, and he heard footsteps coming from the wooden bridge leading to the shadow of the lake."

"Maybe someone who wants to go up and explore?"

"Just like us," Jones said.

"Don't be stupid," Harper stared at Jones with a fool's eyes. "Who would go to the lakeside in the middle of the night... We are the exception. Listen, my friend found it strange, so he let the boat approach and found that the figure was indeed walking on the wooden bridge, but the figure was too tall. He shone it with a flashlight and called out to the man. The man he saw was covered with disgusting pussies, like a corpse crawling out of the cemetery was moving. He was frightened and drove home quickly."

Jones was sweating coldly by Harper's whisper. He was silent for a while and said in a stutter, "Can I go home?"

Harper was stunned and then burst into laughter with everyone in the car. Even Emma was laughing at her brother for being timid.

Jones was so angry that he touched the "bark" in his pants pocket and snorted coldly inside. What is the corpse that can move? The magical creature in his pocket may be from an alien planet.

A group of people enjoyed Jones, driving on the forest trail alone, and went further and further. Even during the day, there was almost no one on the road leading to the lakeside shadow, let alone late at night. Perhaps in the usual days, only Harper's strange friend would go fishing by the lakeside shadow late at night.

This is not to say that fishing at night is strange. It is normal to fish at night. You can drive more than ten kilometers to an uninhabited place to fish. It really seems strange in this town.

There was no car all the way for more than ten kilometers. Lucas drove very quickly as a driver. Just as Jones was drowsy, Emma shook her and woke up.

They arrived.

After parking the car, a group of people got out of the car and started to get the equipment. Of course, they were not unprepared. Each of them had a flashlight and had a strong light for two hours. They all had a battery spare. Lucas and Harper, the leader, also flipped out two shovels from behind, which made Jones stunned.

"Don't be surprised, you have to prevent it from happening, right? If a dead person jumps out, I will slap it to death with a shovel."

He patted Jones on the shoulder, and Harper deliberately scared him, but unfortunately he was disappointed to find that the child was quite calm.

"The shovel can't kill anyone who is already dead."

Jones touched the "bark" in his pants pocket and calmed down a lot: "At most you can make the dead doubt whether the person who photographed it was a fool."

"Ha ha."

Everyone laughed, and Harper said, "Emma, ​​I like your younger brother. He is much more interesting than mine."

Without saying much, everyone was preparing to land on the island. There were two ways to land on the weedy shore. One was to go up along the wooden bridge across the center of the lake, and the other was to sail on the boat.

"It's not necessary to walk on that wooden bridge. It's been half a century. I remember when I walked on that wooden bridge when I was a child, it was already shaky. I wonder why it hasn't collapsed yet."

The previous generation of young people was not like Jones's generation. I only heard of the lakeside shadow but never came. When Harper's generation of young people almost visited the lakeside shadow when they were young, but unfortunately they did not find anything.

It was a summer swimming destination, but unfortunately, after drowning several children, the parents in the town did not allow them to drive here to swim.

"My friend's boat is still here, look, that's it, we row to the island."

A small boat stayed on the shore and tied it to the wooden stake with a rope. Harper walked forward and untied the rope. He and Lucas worked together to push the small boat half-behind the shore back into the lake.

Everyone got on board one by one.

Jones actually felt a little regretful inside. He was not afraid of some lies such as resurrection of the dead. He could not swim and was born to be afraid of rivers and lakes, especially in the middle of the night, sitting on a small boat that seemed to be overturned at any time. Looking at the quiet and deep lake water, it was impossible to say that it was not afraid of it.

Especially this lake has drowned many children.

The rest of the people didn't feel any fear. Harper and Lucas took turns rowing. They talked and laughed, talked about school jokes, talked about things on the street, and jokes between friends, accompanied by some jokes that made people hear.

Fortunately, Jones's journey of fear didn't last long. In just over ten minutes, the boat landed and they were about to land on the island.

"Speaking of this, it's almost ten years since we landed on the island last time?"

Harper asked suddenly.

"Yes, at that time, we were about the same age as him."

Lucas refers to Jones next to him.

"Ten years are almost over in a blink of an eye."

Harper suddenly sighed: "Time flies so fast that my former friends can't see you."

"Yeah." Lucas didn't want to talk about the past. He unscrewed the flashlight and pointed forward, "Go here."

Above the shadow of the lake is a manor with a mansion of the last century style, an absolutely spacious garden and a three-story mansion that can be seen from afar by standing on the shore, all of which show the glory of the family and the dream that will be passed down from generation to generation.

Unfortunately, there has never been a great family in this world. The active family in the last century has remained to this day. There is only one abandoned mansion, and there is not even a person who wants to buy it.

Perhaps people who have the ability to buy were also surprised and afraid of the curse of not leaving any one in this family. After considering it, they gave up the idea of ​​buying.

Nowadays, I am afraid that at an extremely low price, I can buy this mansion and the lake island on the lakeside shadow, but even one person in the town is not interested in it.

Whether it is far away or other reasons, even the trend of children who used to come to explore gradually disappeared.

Their group may be the only people who have set foot on the island in the middle of the lake in the past seven or eight years.

It was still late at night.

Although he was still joking on the boat, after successfully landing on the island, even under the dark night, even with the bright moonlight, the mansion looked like a huge monster hiding in the darkness from a distance, which made the hippie-faced Harper become serious.

"Listen to everyone."

Lucas said: "You must keep up later and never allow yourself to act. I am not afraid of any trick of resurrection of the dead. But if someone gets separated, I can't find someone in such a complicated environment."

"Lucas is right."

Harper patted Jones on the head, "You have to keep your sister close to you. When you wet your pants later, you can ask your sister to change it for you. By the way, Emma, ​​have you brought extra pants?"

"Harper, you're such a bastard."

Emma said angrily.
