Volume 1 Chapter 50: Twin Corpses
The construction of the Cold Bone Well was very particular, the structure was very delicate, and the well wall was very smooth, even the fine cracks between the stones could not be felt. The area near the well water was very humid, but there was no moss or anything like that. I think it was because of the special nature of the Cold Bone Well, the yin energy was so strong that nothing could grow in such a place. For example, fish, shrimp, snails and the like could not survive in the Cold Bone Well.
In a place like this, only a gecko would have a chance of climbing up with bare hands.
I hung in the water for a long time, moving from time to time. Because I was trained by my uncle since I was a child, my physique was considered very good among my peers, but I couldn't stand the yin energy in the well. After a while, I became confused, exhausted, and couldn't float anymore, and began to sink.
I was often suddenly awakened, and then I struggled a few more times to float myself up. The longer I stayed in the water, the more energy I lost. In the end, I didn't even have the strength to shout. My body was frozen like an ice cube, and my thoughts began to stop. After that, I could no longer feel my body , and only a trace of thoughts seemed to be drifting unwillingly.
I thought feebly, maybe I was about to die, this phenomenon often occurs in the last moments before death. I was confused for a while, and suddenly I felt like there seemed to be two things on my left and right, clinging to me, vaguely, but not so real.
Later, I felt a few wet threads sticking to my forehead, and they felt slippery and greasy.
In a daze, I suddenly heard a cold and desolate voice ringing in my ears: "Why don't you come up?"
I shuddered and regained consciousness for a moment. I waved my hands in front of me and touched a rope. I pulled it and it seemed to be hanging from above.
I immediately realized that it was the dead woman who finally remembered me and threw the rope down. I bit my tongue hard to keep myself awake, grabbed the rope, tied it around myself tremblingly, tied a knot, and then pulled the rope hard.
When I finally came out of the well, I collapsed to the ground like a piece of overcooked noodle, unable to move. I only felt someone seemed to say something beside me, but I couldn't hear it clearly. Later I thought about it and it should be Qingzi's woman.
When I woke up again, it was still pitch black. I was lying on the ground a few steps away from the bone-cold well, my clothes were wet. I sat up and saw that Qingzi, the woman, was standing not far from me. In the night, a pretty face was pale. When she saw me wake up, she turned and walked into the house, saying coldly, "Go take a shower and eat something."
Although this woman is annoying, she is not really heartless. She is still patient enough to wait for me to wake up. But my brother is so cold, can't you make some ginger soup or something and bring it over?
Alas, this is just thought. If this dead woman can do some housework, even a sow can climb a tree!
I went into the house, boiled a bowl of ginger soup, drank it, and took a hot bath. Only then did I feel a little more energetic. I looked at the time and it was almost twelve o'clock. So I guess I had been at the bottom of the well for more than an hour. While taking a bath, I remembered that I seemed to feel two people clinging to me on the left and right when I was half asleep, and I couldn't help but feel a little cold in my heart.
After taking a shower, changing clothes and going out to the living room, I saw Qingzi sitting on the sofa reading a book. I found a place to sit down and told her what I saw at the bottom of the well.
Qingzi was flipping through the book without looking up. I don't know if she heard me or not. After a while, she said "Oh", which meant she knew. Seeing that she didn't react, I said, "I'm sure it's not a monkey. The tail of that thing is long and flat, and much thicker."
After a long while, Qingzi finally said, "I understand."
I really can't do anything with this woman! I was a little unwilling to give up, so I continued, "There must be something strange in this well. Maybe there is something extraordinary sealed in it."
Qingzi looked up at me and sneered, "You mean, don't throw you down there again?"
"Of course I didn't mean that, it's just that it's really unnecessary, we should just live a good life." I tried to defend myself. Whoever likes to be thrown into the well is a bastard!
Qingzi snorted coldly and said nothing.
I secretly glanced at her a few times and saw that her brows were relaxed and she didn't seem to be annoyed. I boldly asked again: "Just now when I was down there, it seemed that there were two people sticking to me... Which one was..."
Qingzi didn't even raise her head this time, and said impatiently: "Two little girls are planted on you, what's so strange about you being able to sense them?"
My heart skipped a beat. Qingzi's words proved that my guess was correct. The two figures I sensed at that time were indeed Lin Wenjing and Liu Nan.
Back in the ancient tomb in Southern Xinjiang, Qingzi told me that she had planted the two girls in my body using the corpse planting technique, and from then on, I had one life and three bodies with them, dividing two-thirds of my fate. When I turn eighteen, the two girls will naturally leave my body.
Although I heard her say that, I was still skeptical. After all, this kind of corpse magic was too mysterious and unheard of. But last night, the two girls' wet hair stuck to my face and neck, cold and slippery, and so real.
I was just daydreaming when I saw Qingzi get up from the sofa, close the book, walk to the bedroom, and say, "It's time to go to bed."
I said "Oh" and stood up to go back to my room, but when I remembered that there was nothing in the room except a rope, I sat back down and prepared to spend the night on the sofa.
"What are you doing? Why don't you go back?"
As soon as I lay down, I heard the dead woman's voice floating over. I was startled and got up from the sofa. Seeing her standing at the door of the room, I hurriedly said, "This place is good. I'll just stay here for a while."
"From now on, if you want to sleep, you can only sleep in your own bed. Do you understand?"
I saw the coldness in her eyes, and I hurriedly agreed, saying I understood, and quickly got off the sofa. What did this damn woman mean by "your own bed"? I don't have a bed, I'm talking about that broken rope!
"Hurry up!" Qingzi said impatiently, pushed the door into the study, picked up two books, and went back to the bedroom. I didn't dare to stay, for fear of making her unhappy and being thrown into the well again. If this really happened, I would definitely die in there.
He quickly went into his room and stretched his head to look outside. Seeing that Qingzi had already returned to the room and closed the door, he breathed a sigh of relief. He turned around and was about to close his door when he heard the dead woman's voice from the opposite room: "Don't close the door!"
I cursed in my heart and had to turn it off. I went back to the house and looked at the empty room. The walls were covered with yellow talismans and there was only a broken hemp rope hanging in the air. I felt wronged and sad. I couldn't help but think of my third uncle. When I was with him, although I was exhausted when I was busy, it was at least warm. For me, with my third uncle, I had a home.
Thinking of the sad things, I couldn't help but shed tears. Once I started crying, I could n't stop , and I just cried loudly, venting all the sadness that I had been holding in my heart for these days.
"Why are you howling in the middle of the night? Are you a girl?" Qingzi's impatient voice came from the opposite room.
I sobbed a few times, stopped crying, and said, "It's not like only little girls can cry!"
Qingzi snorted coldly and said nothing more.
After her interruption, I wiped my tears, thinking that I had cried enough. I patted my butt and looked around the house. I really couldn't sleep on this "bed", so I simply found a corner and lay down on the floor. Fortunately, it was summer, so the floor was not too cold against my body.
I turned off the light and lay down for a while, secretly looking out the door, fearing that Qingzi, that damn woman, would suddenly rush in and whip me, forcing me to sleep on the rope. Fortunately, she didn't. After all this tossing and turning, I was also very tired and exhausted. Although the floor was hard and cold, I closed my eyes and fell asleep quickly.
I don't know how long I slept, but I suddenly felt a bone-chilling coldness, and I thought I had fallen into the bone-chilling well again. I woke up suddenly from my sleep, and immediately felt that my body was freezing. I jumped up from the ground trembling with shock.
"What are you doing?" Qingzi's voice came from the room opposite.
