April 28, 2013, the 19th day of the third lunar calendar.

Sunday, after 7 a.m.

18-year-old Chen Yu took a taxi alone to Huode Zhenjun Temple next to Houhai.

He was not here to play or burn incense.

Today is the day of the 8-year-old boy's death in the text message I sent to him before.

In that text message, I wrote the little boy's name and age, but I didn't have a picture.

This greatly increased the difficulty for him to find the little boy.

Fortunately, in that text message, the place where the little boy drowned was at the Houhai, not far from Huode Zhenjun Temple.

Otherwise, the sea would be so big that it would be difficult for him to find it in a while.

But even so, it was still quite difficult for him to look for today.

Not only because he did not have a photo of the little boy, he only knew that the little boy was 8 years old and named Xu Tianxing. On April 28, 2013, he came to Huode Zhenjun Temple for a trip. After coming out of Huode Zhenjun Temple, he came to Houhai and accidentally fell into the water. He died at 11:22 am.

That's just a little information.

Today is Sunday, and there are many people coming to Huode Zhenjun Temple, and there are also many people by the Houhai. Is it easy to find the 8-year-old boy who doesn’t know the truth in this vast crowd?

Not easy!

So Chen Yu came very early today and planned to focus on everyone entering and leaving the Huode Zhenjun Temple, especially a group of a woman with a boy about 8 years old.

In order to make himself look more natural and less eye-catching, he specially bought a SLR camera in advance.

I came to the gate of Huode Zhenjun Temple early in the morning, patting the flowers, plants and trees, and then photographing a few birds on the treetops.

Occasionally, when he sees someone passing by, he will glance at him. If he does not take care of the child, or the child he takes care of is obviously not like an 8-year-old child, his eyes will naturally be withdrawn.

If he sees a suspected target, he will take a few more glances.

Time passes by little by little.

He found two pairs of girls/child combinations that roughly matched their characteristics.

The woman in one of the girls/child combinations is about thirty years old. The boy looks like he is five or six years old, but maybe he is slow to grow or he is eight years old.

The other pair of women in the girl/child combination looks about seventeen or eighteen years old. The boy is estimated to be about eleven or twelve years old, but it is also possible that he has been well-nourished since childhood, so it is possible to grow fast.

At this time, Chen Yu observed the harvest for more than two hours.

Intuition told him that the two girls/child combinations didn't seem to think of the target he was looking for.

It was already past 9 o'clock in the morning, and the time for the little boy to drown was getting closer and closer, and he couldn't help but feel anxious.

After all, it is a human life. Even if it is not for the special identity of the little boy, Chen Yu knew that there was such a child who was going to drown at a certain time and place, he could not remain indifferent.

what to do?

Now go to Houhai to stare?

Call the police?

Can't call the police!

No one has fallen into the water yet, so I call the police and call the fake one.

Tell someone-I know there is such a little boy who is about to drown there?

Who believes it?

If you bet again, the mental hospital will arrange a bed for him.

He thought that as long as he came earlier today and kept guarding the gate of the Huode Zhenjun Temple, he would definitely not be able to miss the pair of girls/child combinations.

Now it seems that it is a bit risky to just stare at me.

Maybe I really missed it.

Even though he had been staring at him carefully today, feeling that he had not missed anyone who entered the temple, because he had not found a very similar target yet, he still wondered whether he had missed it.

Just as he became more and more anxious, he couldn't help but want to leave here and wait for the rabbit in Houhai, he suddenly saw a fiery red figure from the corner of his eyes.

His eyes were attracted.

That was a girl in a long red dress, not tall or short, because her skin was very white, as white as porcelain, and seemed to be a little shining.

This girl looks like she is seventeen or eighteen years old, dressed up with a youthful face, a little baby fat, and her eyes are very lively.

A red dress seemed to add a passionate temperament to her.

Her steps were light and she walked here with a little boy with great enthusiasm, urging her as she walked, "Tianxing, hurry up! Let's go in and burn incense to pray to grandma, and then we will go to Houhai to see if the turtle is good?"

The little boy was wearing a small gray striped suit, a pair of brown leather shoes, a 30-quarter hairstyle, and looked like a little adult.

Hearing this, he looked up at the girl holding his hand, "Sister, are there really little turtles by Houhai? Why haven't I seen a little turtle when I came to Houhai before?"

The woman curled her lips, "Then have you been to this temple before?"

The little boy shook his head.

The woman spoke in a light tone, "Then you must have never been here near you when you came to Houhai before, right?"

The little boy didn't understand why she said this, but he still followed her words, nodded and said nodded.

Woman: "So, when you came to Houhai before, you didn't see the little turtle, but it's different here!"

The little boy looked up at her again, "What's the difference?"

Woman: "Because there is a temple here, some people come to this temple to worship and buy some small turtles or something, and release animals into the Houhai next to them. Do you understand?"

The little boy blinked, "Sister, is it the meaning of letting the little turtle go on a road?"

The woman: "Yes! That's what it means, but the turtle is stupid. Some of the little turtles that have been released have been put into Houhai, but they are still staying on the shore and not wandering. I'll take you to find it later. OK?"

"Oh, that's fine!"

...

The figure of the woman holding the little boy has disappeared into the temple gate of Huode Zhenjun Temple.

Chen Yu, who had just heard them talking and followed them quietly for a while, stopped and did not continue to follow.

Stars?

He had just heard the woman in the red dress calling the little boy "Tianxing".

The little boy also called the woman in the red dress "sister". Judging from the little boy's appearance, he really looked like a child about eight years old.

They probably are right!

Chen Yu breathed a sigh of relief.

Finally, I reached the target.

Hearing what the woman in the red dress said just now, after they burned the incense, she would take the little boy to the Houhai water to see the little turtle.

So, this little boy fell into the water like this?

He shook his head secretly in his heart.

The girls who grew up in this city are different.

He grew up in Chenjiaba since he was a child. There are rivers near their village and several fish ponds. A little further away is Xin'an River.

But since he was a child, he was warned not to go to the waterside. Unless he was taken by his adults at home, he would have to eat a meal of fried pork with bamboo shoots when he got home.

Anyway, there are bamboos in their village. When my mother broke a piece of thin bamboo strips, she would scold him and suck him on his butt. She must be pulled and shouted and promised not to go to the river again before she could stop under the dissuasion of her grandfather and grandma.

In fact, it's not just him.

When children in their village were young, whenever they went to the water to play, they would be beaten if they were seen by adults.

If you are taken by your brother or sister to play by the water, then you will be beaten up with your brother and sister.

How could the girl in red dress just now take the initiative to take her brother to the water to play?

Is it because I was a child that I was beaten by my family for this?

Chen Yu, who was in a relaxed mood, began to play a photography enthusiast, shooting around here and there.

About half an hour later.

He glanced at the fiery red figure, forget it! Such a stupid girl, let’s write about the fiery red figure!

He caught a glimpse of the girl leading the little boy out of the temple gate.

Chen Yu smiled. In order to get rid of the suspicion of following him, he turned around and strode towards Houhai.

As long as I keep walking in front of them, it won’t be considered a track!

Of course, in order to avoid throwing them away, he would stop from time to time, as if looking at the surrounding scenery to see where it is suitable to take another photo.

Most of the time, he just checks it out.

The main thing is to glance at the pair of girls/child combinations from the corner of your eyes.

Make sure they are still within his sight.

In this way, Chen Yu and the others came to the Houhai side first. There was a guardrail by the water. He stopped and began to take pictures of the water scene, and glanced at the two people from time to time.

In this way, he sometimes walked fast, leaving them far behind, and sometimes walked slowly, following them far beyond him.

Anyway, I kept making sure they were within a distance that he could see at a glance.

Time is approaching 11 o'clock little by little.

During this period, he saw the girl in the red dress with the little boy by the water, stretched her head out of the guardrail by the water to look for the little turtle by the water.

They actually found it. Chen Yu was surprised when he saw them pointing somewhere by the water.
