This old well was not deep, and Zhang Chen quickly went down to the bottom of the well.

He said that there was only one well underground, and people would definitely not be able to get into it. I asked him to dive into the water to see if there were any clues, but he groped for a while and suddenly shouted, "It seems that there is something!" ”

With that, he submerged his whole body in the well water.

After a long time, there was no movement under the well, I was afraid that something would happen to Zhang Chen, so I hurriedly lay at the mouth of the well and looked down, but although the well was not deep, it was pitch black below, and I couldn't see Zhang Chen's figure at all.

I could only shout at the bottom of the well: "Senior Brother Zhang Chen, what's going on next?" ”

My voice echoed through the wall of the well, and after a while, Zhang Chen's unclear response finally came back: "Don't worry, it's almost over." ”

There is no mistake

After listening to Zhang Chen's answer, I felt very puzzled, didn't he find something at the bottom of the well, how to find something and say that it was almost over? If you find it, you find it, if you don't find it, you can't find it, and you can still estimate the time of this thing?

After another ten minutes, Zhang Chen pulled the cowhide rope twice, which was the signal that we agreed to come up. So I used the scroll of the wheel to pull Zhang Chen up.

He was drenched, and as soon as he came up, he took off his shirt and tried to wring it out shirtless.

"I told you not to wear it a long time ago." I say.

Zhang Chen shivered and said, "No, the well water is too cold, it's still warm above." ”

"What did you find?" I'll get back to business, looking at Zhang Chen's state, I know that he definitely didn't return empty-handed.

I saw Zhang Chen take out a small box from his trouser pocket, a bit like the kind with a diamond ring, and handed it to me.

I quipped, "Why are you proposing to me?" ”

Zhang Chen rolled his eyes: "This is called the Soul Box, you can open it yourself and see, my pants are still wet." ”

I took the locket from Zhang Chen's hand, and he found a place where no one was there to take off his pants and wring the water. Then I cautiously opened the box, and a ghost suddenly floated out of it, stopped in front of me, and looked around blankly.

This is the ghost of a child, and when I saw his appearance, I immediately thought that there was a photo similar to it in the file of the Grudge Case, so I asked, "Are you the last child to be drowned?" ”

The little ghost nodded and asked me, "Big brother, did you save me?" ”

At this time, Zhang Chen walked over wearing only underwear, his hands were still drying the twisted clothes and pants, and said, "It's not him, it's me." ”

"Thank you, uncle." The imp said politely.

Zhang Chen was speechless and said, "Why is he an elder brother and I am an uncle?" ”

My heart has long been happy, but there are people, no, there are ghosts and discerning pearls, and they recognize me as young. I smiled and said, "It doesn't matter, tell me what's going on first?" ”

Zhang Chen sat on the edge of the well, wearing his pants, and explained: "I found a formation below, this little ghost was trapped by the formation, I struggled to crack the formation, and then put it into the soul box. ”

"Yo, thank you for your hard work, uncle." I deliberately got angry with him.

Zhang Chen gave me a fierce look, and he didn't like to take care of me.

I asked the little ghost directly, "Since your soul is still there, it saves us from investigating, let's talk about it, how did you die?" ”

The little ghost said hesitantly, "I ...... I was suicidal. ”

"Suicide?" Zhang Chen and I were shocked, to be honest, I always thought that this case was man-made, but I didn't expect it to be suicide.

The little ghost carefully recounted: "I was taking a nap at home that day, and when I woke up, I found myself lying by the well, and Uncle Niu and Aunt Niu were also there. ”

Uncle Niu and Aunt Niu should be talking about the parents of the second drowned child, and that child is surnamed Niu.

"I heard Uncle Niu and Aunt Niu arguing, and Aunt Niu said that they would throw me into the well so that their children could be freed. Uncle Niu said that he couldn't do it, and he felt that he couldn't kill another person for the sake of a dead child. Aunt Niu said again, anyway, this child was also abducted, grandma doesn't love grandma, what do you care so much, will your son never be able to reincarnate you? The little ghost tried hard to recall the scene before he died, "Later, Uncle Niu said to Aunt Niu, I definitely can't do it, you can do it yourself." After saying that, Aunt Niu really came over to me, I thought she would throw me down, but she couldn't do it for a long time, and the last person squatted by the well and cried. I asked them and found out that it was their son Tuomeng who said that he was trapped in the well and could not be reincarnated, and that he had to find a substitute for the dead. In the end, Uncle Niu and Aunt Niu decided to send me home, but by this time I had already understood their plight, so I told them, you don't need to do it, anyway, I don't want to live like this anymore. After saying that, I committed suicide by throwing myself into a well. ”

After listening to the little ghost's narration, I probably knew the truth about the complaining case. After the child surnamed Niu fell into the well and drowned, he was trapped by the formation of the well, and entrusted his dream to his parents and asked them to help him find a replacement for the dead ghost. But the Niu family

The couple had a clear conscience and had given up the idea of harming others, but the third child was willing to be a substitute for the dead and committed suicide by throwing himself into the well.

If I'm not mistaken, the first child also gave his parents a dream after he died, so the Niu family's children were killed by the same cause. But when it came to the third child, because he was born and had nothing to love, he would rather be trapped in the well than find a replacement for the dead ghost. And he was still abducted, and the people in the village are not his biological parents, even if he dreams, it will not be their turn.

"What's going on with this formation?" I asked Zhang Chen.

"Well, maybe the legend is true." Zhang Chen sighed and said, "This used to be the Locked Dragon Well, and the formation was used to trap the demon dragon, even if it wasn't a dragon, it could be some other demon beast." ”

"But the demon beast in this well is rumored to have disappeared hundreds of years ago." I analyzed, "Moreover, it is unlikely that the dragon falling case has anything to do with this well, if there was a dragon flying out of the well, such a narrow well would have been smashed long ago." ”

"By the way, kid, have you ever seen this person?" Zhang Chen took out Xu Xia's photo and asked the little ghost.

The little ghost shook his head: "I've been trapped in the formation and can't see things in the outside world. ”

"What to do? The trail is broken again. Zhang Chen asked disappointedly.

"We'll talk about that later." I looked at the imp and said, "You are very kind, I can help you exceed, do you have any last wishes?" ”

"Hmm...... There are several. The little ghost thought for a while and said very simply, "Please don't be embarrassed by Uncle Niu and Aunt Niu, my death has nothing to do with them." Then there are my adoptive parents, although I was abducted, but they have nothing to do with them, and they are not bad to me. And then there's ...... I want to see my biological parents one last time, I don't know how they are now, I want to tell them that they don't have to look for me anymore. ”

"It's not difficult, leave it to me." Zhang Chen decisively agreed. I think that with the power of Tianyimen, it is not difficult to find his biological parents, and they are only meeting each other, and they do not violate the rules of the supernatural circle.

Zhang Chen took the little ghost back into the soul box, and planned to help it fulfill his last wish after solving the case in front of him. Then we called the police, because the parents of the first child were probably the real culprits of the second child, and we could not let them go unpunished, no matter what the trouble.

"What's next, do you want to investigate the wolf demon case again?" Zhang Chen asked me.

I pondered for a moment, and suddenly remembered something, so I responded: "No, since I have arrived in Linggu Village, there is still someone to meet." ”
