Volume 1 Chapter 049 Alien Corpse
I thought to myself, my brother not only knows about the Cold Bone Well, but he has also been down there himself! But I won’t tell you about this. I heard her soft tone and no anger on her face, so I said, “This well is a little strange, or…”
Before I could finish my sentence, I suddenly felt a sharp pain in my chest, as if I had been severely whipped. I jumped up and down in pain. I lowered my head and pulled open my collar. I saw a long bloodstain running diagonally from my chest to my shoulder, which was shocking.
I was afraid that she would hit me again, so I begged for mercy and said, "I'll go, can't I go?" I took off my shoes, socks and shirt, looked into the well, then turned around and ran back to the house.
"What are you doing?" Qingzi asked coldly.
"This well is too deep. I'll go get some ropes, otherwise I won't be able to get down." I said, without stopping, and prepared to go into the house to find the bundle of coarse hemp rope that I had just bought in the afternoon.
But as soon as I took a step, my ankle felt a sharp pain, and I was hit again for no reason. I jumped up and down in pain, and if this woman was not really difficult to deal with, I really wanted to curse her.
"Did I tell you to get the rope?" Qingzi's cold voice floated over from behind, "I told you to go down by yourself!"
I turned around with a bitter face, touched the bloodstain on my ankle, and limped to the well. From the well mouth, this well was similar to the octagonal well in the Dead Face Courtyard, with a diameter of about half a meter.
Since this well is a trumpet-shaped urn, the width of the well will gradually expand to one or even two meters as it goes down. I am short and have no way of holding up the well wall. If the depths of these two wells are similar, then they must be at least 20 meters deep.
If I fall straight down from above, I might die at the bottom of the well.
"What are you still hesitating about?" Qingzi's impatient voice sounded behind me. I usually think this woman's voice is quite nice, although it is cold and inhuman, but it is gentle and pleasant.
But now it sounded like a death-threatening sound, making me gnashing with hatred. I was afraid that if I hesitated any longer, I would be hit again, so I gritted my teeth and lay on the edge of the well, looking inside.
It was already very late, around eight or nine in the evening. There were no lights in the yard, only a few lights coming through the house. I lay there for a while, and felt the cold air in the well steaming, which made the sweat on my body come back. I adjusted my breathing, and gritted my teeth and crawled down into the well.
Since there was no rope to help me, I could only use my hands and feet to support myself and slowly lower myself down the well. Fortunately, the well wall was quite dry, without any moss or anything like that. As I moved down, I could gradually feel the well becoming wider and wider, and the water vapor becoming more and more abundant. The biting cold air rose from the bottom, making me shiver several times.
I had just come out of the laundry, and I was sweating all over. I was shivering with cold air. I moved down one more level, and I felt that my arms and legs were not long enough. I looked down, and it was pitch black and I couldn't see the bottom, and I didn't know how deep it was.
I didn't dare to climb down any further. If I went any further, my hands and feet would not be able to reach the ground. I could only hold on with all my strength, and my hands and feet began to tremble slightly. I was frozen there, neither going up nor down. As I was hesitating, I suddenly heard a splash above my head, and before I could react, icy liquid poured down on my head.
I was startled, my hands and feet slipped, and I fell from midair. Before I could come to my senses, I immediately hit the water surface and sank into the water. The cold well water made me feel cold all over, and I choked on the water several times. After touching the soft mud at the bottom of the well, I finally woke up, pushed my feet down hard , and floated to the surface.
After taking a deep breath, I felt a sense of relief that I had survived a disaster. My eyes were burning with pain and there was a smell of detergent. It was only then that I realized that Qingzi, that damn woman, had just poured a basin of laundry water down from above.
Fortunately, this well is much shallower than the bone-chilling well in the Dead Face Courtyard. Falling from where I was just now did not cause any serious damage.
Floating on the water and looking up, I could only vaguely see a bright circle. In the middle of summer, being at the bottom of the well was like being in an ice house. Most of submerged in the water, and I felt extremely cold. I was shivering all over, and soon I was breathing heavily, and goose bumps appeared all over my body.
I cursed that damn woman Qingzi in my heart, then quickly swam to the side and held onto the edge of the well. I closed my eyes and took a few breaths, trying to slow my heartbeat down as much as possible to conserve my energy.
But once I stopped moving, I felt even colder. I couldn't stand the cold, so I had to swim at the bottom of the well. This well is indeed a typical trumpet-shaped well. The diameter of the well where I am now is at least two meters. In other words, this well is really a bone-chilling well. I don't know what is sealed underneath.
I floated on the water for a while with this thought in my mind, and I always felt like there was something under my feet looking up at me, which made my scalp tingle and my hair stand on end.
Later, I couldn't bear it anymore, so I took a deep breath and dived down. The depth of the well was about five or six meters. In a breath, I sank to the bottom of the well, and felt my feet touch the soft mud. I held my breath and walked in the water to explore. After feeling around, I didn't find anything.
After feeling around for a while, I suddenly stepped on something, hard and cold, but not painful. I squatted down and touched it, and it felt like an iron chain as thick as my arm.
At this time, I couldn't hold my breath any longer, so I floated to the surface and took a deep breath, then sank down again. I found the iron chain at that location, picked it up, and pulled it. I found that the other end of the iron chain seemed to be connected to something. I felt something in my heart, so I followed the iron chain up. When I touched the end, I found that one end of the iron chain was above.
I floated up with the chain, and when I reached the end, I felt something round. After a closer look, I realized it was a skull, and below was a body, which was locked by the chain around the waist. I touched it again and felt a nail-like object in the chest of the skeleton. I pulled hard, but it didn't come out. It seemed to have penetrated the chest of the skeleton and was deeply embedded in the wall of the well.
No wonder I didn’t feel anything when I first felt around. It turned out that the skeleton was nailed on top.
In the well, it was pitch black, and I couldn't see my hand in front of me. I could only feel it with my hands, and I felt that the skeleton seemed quite small, like an underage child. But after feeling it for a while, I felt something was wrong. At this time, I had run out of air in my chest, so I had to float to the surface.
After taking several deep breaths, I held the edge of the well and felt my scalp tingling. I rested for a while, then sank into the water again. I found the skeleton and touched it carefully. Sure enough, a long and flat bone about half a meter long grew on the buttocks of the skeleton, with jagged joints, as if it had a tail!
I was startled and immediately emerged from the bottom of the water. I floated on the surface for a long time, still in shock. I just followed the method of going down, starting from his head and checking inch by inch. Although I couldn't see it with my eyes, I could vaguely see its outline. It should be a teenager between the ages of fifteen and sixteen.
But how could a person have a tail?
I was terrified. This thing was nailed to the bottom of the well, and it was chained all over. I'm afraid this Bone-Frozen Well was used to seal it. What on earth is this thing? Who sealed it here?
Is it the original owner of this house, or that Bai Wenli?
I was restless and thinking wildly for a long time, and I felt my body getting colder and colder. The well water was extremely cold, and there was an indescribable chill that penetrated into my skin and froze me to the bones.
I shouted at the well mouth several times, but there was no response for a long time. I was really afraid that Qingzi, that damn woman, had gone back upstairs to sleep and left me alone here. If that was the case, she would probably be able to fish out my body tomorrow morning.
It was pitch black all around me, and I didn't even know what was approaching quietly. I was cold and scared, and soon I couldn't stand it anymore. I felt around the wall of the well for a few times, trying to find some leverage to climb up.
