Chapter 0087 Deep Well
I laughed: "Look at how cowardly you are, and then look at our Bao'er."
Baoer's eyes were sparkling. Not only was he not afraid at all, he looked quite excited. He was probably very curious about what was happening in front of him.
He Jintang didn't want to lose face in front of his niece, so he snorted and said, "I'm not afraid of anything! I just thought the sound was... a little weird!"
I didn't try to expose him. As we headed southwest, the screams became clearer and deafening.
Ordinary people cannot make such a sharp sound at all, let alone in such strong winds and heavy rain.
"It should be nearby!" someone shouted in front.
However, at this moment, the scream suddenly stopped and disappeared without a trace just like last time.
This place was outside the Prajna Villa. There were a few sparse forests there and it looked a bit desolate, so everyone started searching around.
I have been secretly observing that Yang Xuan.
From the moment I saw him in the courtyard, I noticed that this man was uneasy. When others spoke to him, he took a long time to respond. It seemed that he had something serious on his mind.
But after arriving at this place, his behavior became even more strange. He was trembling with fear, just like a frightened little quail.
I saw him wandering around aimlessly, glancing eastward from time to time. I immediately walked up behind him with an umbrella and slapped him on the shoulder, "What are you looking at?"
Yang Xuan was so scared that he screamed "Ah", turned around and saw that it was me, and asked angrily: "What are you doing?"
I saw that he looked pale, so I asked with a smile, "What are you doing now?"
"Of course I'm looking for... looking for the source of the screaming!" Yang Xuan was furious.
I said "oh" and didn't say anything else, and went east to look for it.
After walking for a while, I saw a well in front of me. When I looked over, I found it was an octagonal well.
The whole well is built with bluestone, and the eight trigrams are engraved in sequence on each direction of the well edge, which looks quite ancient.
The well was full of water, and the raindrops fell down, making a popping sound.
"Old Chen, do you still remember? This thing looks like the one in Erjing Village!" He Jintang said as he brought Baoer over.
How could I not remember this? There were human pupae in the two Yin-Yang wells in Erjing Village, which almost took the lives of all of us. The impression is very deep.
"Hey, there's a well here!" Others also gathered around.
I asked Mrs. Huang if there was any special reason for building this well there.
Mrs. Huang shook her head and said that she was not very clear about it. The layout of everything in the villa was decided by her father-in-law himself.
I turned my head and saw Yang Xuan hiding behind the crowd, his face was frighteningly pale.
This guy has always been an arrogant and domineering young man. When did he start to like hiding?
"I think this well is a bit strange. Maybe the cry is related to this well!" I said.
Before anyone else could say anything, Yang Xuan suddenly jumped up and said, "What nonsense! How could this be related to the well?"
I asked curiously, "Where's the well? Why are you in such a hurry?"
"I... I'm not in a hurry?" Yang Xuan defended.
All I can say is that this young man's psychological quality is really poor. I don't know how his family taught him. Looking at his panic-stricken look, anyone with a discerning eye can see that there is something wrong with him.
"Come someone who is good at swimming, go down into the well and take a look." Mrs. Huang ordered.
A strong young man immediately came out behind her, tied a rope around his waist, and dived into the well.
I saw that Yang Xuan's already pale face suddenly became even paler.
After about two minutes, the rope began to shake violently, and the others quickly grabbed the rope and pulled it up.
"It's so heavy!" someone exclaimed in surprise.
Soon everyone worked together to pull the person up.
There were exclamations from the crowd. The young man who came out of the well was actually holding someone in his arms!
"Dewu, my Dewu!" Zhang Sanfu rushed over like crazy and pushed the young man away.
The man who was carried out of the well was short and strong. Although his face was a little swollen from the well water, he was still recognizable as Zhang Dewu.
"Dewu, which beast harmed you?" Zhang Sanfu threw himself on his grandson, tears streaming down his face.
Everyone was shocked by this scene.
"Oh my god, how could this kid die here?" He Jintang muttered softly, turned his head away, and didn't dare to look.
Baoer and I took a step forward and took a closer look. Zhang Dewu's eyes were wide open, his mouth was wide open, his hands were raised in front of his chest with his five fingers bent, as if he was trying to grab something.
This death is quite strange, completely different from the normal drowning death.
Mrs. Huang's face also turned pale, and she was asking the young man who went into the water what the situation was in the well.
The young man was obviously exhausted, panting heavily, "Madam, it's so cold down there!"
I saw that his body was trembling slightly and his face was pale and blue, and it seemed that he was indeed attacked by the cold.
"How cold is it?" Mrs. Huang asked curiously.
Although the weather has been bad these days with heavy rain, the temperature is actually still quite high. Well water is groundwater, so the temperature may be a little lower, but not too low.
However, the young man shivered and said, "It gets colder the further down we go. It feels... like entering an ice cellar!"
Everyone was amazed.
Mrs. Huang asked him to continue and tell how he found Zhang Dewu.
The young man panted and said, "I... After I sank, I kept shining the flashlight downwards. It was pitch black down there. Then I saw a figure standing at the bottom of the well. I was so scared that I almost couldn't hold my breath... It turned out to be Young Master Zhang..."
"Standing at the bottom of the well?" someone asked doubtfully.
"Yes... I saw Young Master Zhang standing there, holding onto the wall of the well with both hands. It was very... very strange..."
This actually doesn't make sense. After all, looking at Zhang Dewu's appearance, he has been soaking in the water for quite a long time and has become a little swollen. If there is no heavy object pressing on him, he should float to the surface.
The young man said in a trembling voice: "Master Zhang... he, when I tried to pull him up, he felt so heavy, as if he had roots. It took me a lot of effort to pull him up."
At this moment, Zhang Sanfu suddenly shouted in grief and anger: "Who on earth is it?"
His loud shout, filled with grief and anger, was like a bolt from the blue. Many people were caught off guard and their legs went weak, especially the girls, who were so frightened that their faces turned pale.
However, unexpectedly, the one who reacted the most was Young Master Yang Xuan. He was startled by Zhang Sanfu's shout, and screamed "Ah", stepped back and almost fell to the ground.
The figure in front of him flashed quickly, and Zhang Sanfu suddenly rushed in front of Yang Xuan and grabbed him by the collar. Although this old man was short and fat, he was very agile. He shouted, "Do you have something to hide? Otherwise, what are you afraid of?"
