Liu Xiaokai is twelve years old this year, still in the first year of junior high school, and he has never encountered such a bizarre thing in his life.

So when I saw these two words, my first reaction was that this person should have fallen into the well for a long time, and he had nothing to eat, so that he didn't have time to answer his question just now, but just wanted to eat.

He immediately went to the schoolbag, and next to the schoolbag was a box of White Rabbit toffee, as well as a box of Orfeo biscuits and a few jellies.

It was bought for him by his grandfather on the way here just now, and Mr. Liu Depei originally wanted to take his grandson, who had begun to study hard, to take a walk in the suburbs, relax, and go to Duan's house to do a test by himself, which can kill two birds with one stone.

I bought a little too much food, and Liu Xiaokai didn't eat much at all.

He brought all the rest of the food over, and then used a new piece of paper and wrote on it: You stay out of the way, I'll throw you some food, you eat first, I'll call my grandfather.

After thinking about it, he added another sentence at the end: Don't worry, we will let the sheriff rescue you.

Again, put the paper slip and the stone into the dry well with a nylon rope.

After a while, the end touched the bottom of the well, and soon there was a slight tug below, and the people inside signaled that they had dodged.

Liu Xiaokai immediately carefully threw down the packaged toffee, biscuits and a few loose jelly along the gap between the stone slab and the wellhead.

He then looked up at the dilapidated house in the Duan Mansion, although the doors and windows over there should have all fallen, but he didn't see his grandfather.

Liu Xiaokai screamed again at this time, and was about to get up to find his grandfather, but the nylon rope that had not been put down in his hand suddenly pulled, he knew that this was a signal for him to pull up, and after a little hesitation, he began to pull the rope again.

After a while, I pulled the end of the stone and the paper out of the well, turned the paper over and looked at it, only to see that there were still two short words written on it: delicious, is there any?

Liu Xiaokai was stunned: "It's done so soon?" ”

These words are still extremely ugly, and they are also from the handwriting of the man at the bottom of the well, but Liu Xiaokai guessed that he might have to eat for a while, but he didn't expect the other party to reply to him so quickly.

After thinking about it, Liu Xiaokai put in a new note again, informing the people in the well that all his food had been thrown in just now, so that he could calm down and leave to call someone.

Pressing the rope on the ground with a larger stone at the end of the well, Liu Xiaokai quickly ran to the dilapidated house of the old house.

The room was dimly lit, giving it a gloomy and oppressive feel.

Liu Xiaokai is nervous? And worried about the safety of the man in the well? Suppressing the thought of wanting to turn around and run out, he shouted in the house, "Grandpa? Grandpa, where are you? ”

"I'm here." Liu Depei's voice came from the back of the house.

It turns out that this section of the house also has a huge backyard? You have to go through the middle room to see it, and Liu Depei has been in the backyard just now? So I didn't hear Liu Xiaokai's shouting.

While talking, Liu Depei walked over? His hands are covered in mud? The container in one hand contained some soil and stone chips knocked off the wall, and in the other hand he held a small pointed hammer, and his clothes and pants were also covered with dust.

Liu Depei looked serious and said to Liu Xiaokai: "Why are you here?" Didn't you stop coming near this house? Is there danger here? What if it collapses? ”

Liu Xiaokai hurriedly ran outside the house in the front yard? Standing at the empty window, he pointed to the dry well covered with stone slabs, and said to Liu Depei: "Grandpa, the dry well over there...... There's someone inside! ”

Liu Depei was stunned for a moment, and walked quickly through the building? While asking, "There are dead people in there?" ”

"Not dead, alive? The living ......" Liu Xiaokai replied eagerly.

Liu Depei immediately ran to the front yard and followed Liu Xiaokai to the front of the dry well that was pressed with stone slabs.

He first took a closer look at the dry well and the stone slab above it that showed some of the cracks? It seems that this stone slab has been pressed here for a long time, and there is no trace of movement recently.

And if there is someone under the dry well? Also fell into this slate before it was pressed? It is impossible to be alive.

"The people inside asked me what I wanted to eat at first? I said I was hungry, and I threw all the snacks you bought for me in. While speaking, Liu Xiaokai pointed to the end of the nylon rope pressed with stones on the ground, "He can't hear what I say, I use this to communicate with him." ”

Liu Depei glanced suspiciously at the scene where the thread was hung into the crack of the dry well, and at this moment, he suddenly saw that the thread was being pulled, and the source of the pull was from the bottom of the well.

"Quick, grandpa, get him out!" Liu Xiaokai said when he saw this.

He was young, and his body was thin and thin, and he could not lift the stone slab pressed against the mouth of the well.

Liu Depei said: "You lift the small side, I lift this side, move the slate to your side, and be careful not to hit your feet when you retreat." ”

Liu Xiaokai nodded quickly, and the grandfather and grandson grabbed one end of the slate, and at the same time exerted force, the slate turned out to be just a vibration, and it was not lifted!

Liu Depei looked down and saw that a large amount of moss was growing where the stone slab pressed against the wellhead, just now, only the moss of the adherent part was torn off, in fact, the slate was not heavy, and the grandfather and grandson could be carried away.

He immediately said to Liu Xiaokai: "Do it again, and you slowly retreat back after lifting it up." ”

If the slab is lifted down and it is confirmed that there are people in the well, Liu Depei will immediately report to the sheriff, or go and ask the nearby residents to rescue the people inside.

The two of them used force at the same time again, and sure enough, this time the slate was a lot lighter, and it was immediately lifted, Liu Xiaokai followed his grandfather's instructions, and the ten fingers of his hands tightly buckled the edge of the slate, feeling a little slippery, not very easy to grasp, he knew that he had to move the slate away as soon as possible and put it down, otherwise it was very likely that his hand would slip and fall.

After lifting it, Liu Depei was going to walk around the well, so that his grandson could lift the slate and put it on the ground.

At this moment, Liu Xiaokai, who was carrying the slate backwards, accidentally stepped on a cloud of moss on the ground by the well, his feet slipped forward, his body leaned back, but his hand subconsciously clasped the edge of the slate, for fear that it would fall.

And Liu Depei suddenly came with the pulling force here, and the stone slab dragged him forward, and at this time he did not bypass the wellhead, facing the wellhead of the black hole.

At this time, Liu Depei actually let go of the slate directly, and when he was about to do this, the cracked part in the middle of the slate suddenly broke off directly and became two slates.

Liu Depei suddenly lost his center of gravity, let out an exclamation, and while letting go of the broken slate in his hand, the whole person also fell forward and fell into the well.

Liu Xiaokai, who was leaning back on the other side, had already fallen to the ground, and his head was bumped into a bag, but he didn't care about the pain, he got up with a bone, and rushed to the wellhead in horror to look down, but it was dark inside, but he couldn't see anything.

"Grandpa, grandpa, grandpa......" Liu Xiaokai was ownerless, and his eager tears fell.

Although Grandpa fell in, he didn't seem to hear the sound of landing just now, or there was already a sound, but he also fell and didn't hear it in a panic.

The phone was also on the grandfather, he didn't have a phone.

At this time, Liu Xiaokai remembered that when he and his grandfather came over, he passed by the path here, and saw a farmer family across the road, and he immediately shouted at the well: "Grandpa, you wait for me, I will go to the opposite side and call someone to save you!" ”

As he spoke, with a tear in his eyes, he was ready to turn around and call someone.

But at this moment, Liu Xiaokai suddenly saw that the nylon rope that was pressed on the wellhead just now was pulled.

He didn't have time to pay attention for a while, and was about to leave, but he saw the rope being pulled twice in a hurry.

Liu Xiaokai was stunned, walked over, knelt on the ground, and alternated his hands to quickly pull one end of the rope out of the well.

The end of the stone and the note was quickly pulled in front of him, and Liu Xiaokai immediately took off the note and flipped it over, only to see that it was written.

"This one is better than just now, is there anything else?"

……

Xie Zongyu stopped dictating, lifted the teacup in his hand, and took a big sip of hot tea, as if his mouth was dry just now.

Shen Xing stared at his eyes, and then turned his head to look at Yang Tian, who was sitting on the side and had been silent, this guy shrunk his body into a ball, his face was withered, and he coughed from time to time.

Soon Shen Xing retracted his gaze, and finally lifted the hot tea that had burned his tongue just now, and the tea was already warm at this time, as if he was hateful, he drank all the water in the teacup in one gulp, and spit out two tea leaves from his mouth.

When Xie Zongyu was about to pour the freshly boiled boiling water into his teacup, Shen Xing waved his hand: "Don't do it, thank you!" ”

As he spoke, he looked at the position of the left lung that Yang Tian's right hand was pressing, and said to Yang Tian: "I almost guessed now, why you can't even go out to handle the case without even having your left lung." ”

Yang Tian looked at him and didn't speak.

Shen Xing asked, "Did you make a deal with the anomaly in this well?" ”

Now it seems that the anomaly in the well feels that everything that falls into it is delicious, so Shen Xing guessed that in order to lure it out, the people of the special investigation team specially prepared to trade food in the way.

But the current result is obvious, this deal failed, not only did it fail, but Yang Tian also lost a kidney in vain.

"Can you tell us more about that?" Shen Xing said with interest.

Yang Tian took a sip of tea, first glanced at Xie Zongyu, and then began to speak.

……

At that time, Liu Xiaokai was stunned by the words on the note, and after a scream, he turned around and ran, ignoring nothing, until he came to the road, crying and running to the farmer across the road.

A short time later, the owner of the farmer called the sheriff.

About half an hour later, a small patrol car converted from a van arrived, and from inside came three sheriffs, two men and one woman.

The two male sheriffs, one tall and one short, came to the location of the dry well under the guidance of the peasant household and the crying Liu Xiaokai.

At this time, the inside of the dry well had begun to emit a strange foul smell, and the smell was so bad that standing by the well for a while made people feel sick and want to vomit.

The female sheriff soon couldn't support it anymore and ran to the side and threw up.

The two male magistrates checked the surroundings of the dry well and found the footprints of adults and children, the children's footprints should be Liu Xiaokai's, and the whereabouts of the adults may have fallen into it, as Liu Xiaokai said.

However, after listening to Liu Xiaokai's intermittent narration just now, they understood that this dry well was unusual, so they took a strong flashlight and shone it at the bottom of the well, and found that it was still pitch black inside, and even the strong light could not penetrate this darkness.

The female sheriff and Liu Xiaokai went back to the car to rest, and by the way, the female sheriff comforted the parties, while the two male sheriffs reported the situation to the command center, and soon the first rescue team arrived.

Although these people carried rescue equipment, after hearing the situation, none of them dared to go down to the rescue.

No less than ten emergency lighting rods were thrown into the dry well, but they still couldn't dispel the thick darkness inside, which proved that the bottom of the well was very unusual.

Later, the Ping'an City Special Investigation Team received a notice to take over the case, Xie Zongyu led the team to set off, and it was Yang Tian who lost his left lung who came with him.

At that time, it was impossible to rescue Liu Xiaokai's grandfather Liu Depei in a hurry, and after analyzing what happened, Xie Zongyu concluded that Liu Depei was dead and could not survive anymore.

He ordered that the dry well and the Duan family's house be sealed off, and that even ordinary magistrates were not allowed to enter without receiving an order.

Xie Zongyu then tried to communicate with the anomaly at the bottom of the well in the form of a loudspeaker and a good phone call to the bottom of the well, but the other party did not reply to any messages, as if it did not exist at all.

As a last resort, the investigation team had to adopt Liu Xiaokai's method, but instead of a note, they hoisted into the well, but a rewritable clipboard, and had an extremely strange communication.

Xie Zongyu: Who are you?

Bottom of the Well: A loner with uncontrolled behavior.

Xie Zongyu: The person who fell into the well was eaten by you?

Bottom of the Well: Is that a person? I thought I was the only one.

Xie Zongyu: For better communication, I suggest that you can come outside the well, and we can have a good talk, maybe I can meet some of your conditions.

Bottom of the Well: Am I already outside?

(When Yang Tian recounted this paragraph, Shen Xing noticed that Xie Zongyu's face had changed significantly, his lips moved, as if he wanted to say something, but he still couldn't help but say it.) ）

Whoever it was, when the anomaly at the bottom of the well said that he was already outside, they were taken aback. Because it's night, this statement will inevitably produce a creepy feeling.

Xie Zongyu: Where are you? I didn't see you.

Bottom of the Well: But I see you.

At this time, Xie Zongyu turned around and searched around, but he didn't see anything except Yang Tian, who was also searching around.

However, to be on the safe side, the two of them used the weapon of the time, the golden electrostatic pen, to envelop themselves in an electrostatic field, so that they could temporarily shield their existence from the abnormal perception.

Xie Zongyu: Tell me, what do you really want?

Bottom of the Well: Happy.

Xie Zongyu: How can I make you happy?

Bottom of the well: Eat.

Xie Zongyu: What do you want to eat?

Bottom of the well: The kind from last time.

Xie Zongyu (frowning): What I want to know is, what can you give me in return for this?

The bottom of the well: your happiness.

Xie Zongyu: Do you know what my happiness is?

The bottom of the well: power, power that never ends.
