Grandma Teng sighed deeply: "Everyone may not know about this well, let me tell you today!" Everyone brought chairs and benches to sit down around Grandma Teng.

Grandma Teng looked out the window and began to tell us about the well: "I remember that when this incident happened, I was about the same age as Xiaohua. It was three or five years, and the situation was already very chaotic. Behind our old house there used to be a hotel, the big house with a shikumen that was demolished a few years ago. ”

When I heard this, my heart fluttered. I always feel that the Shikumen house and the furnishings inside are familiar, it turns out to be the "Zhongnan Hotel" that I used to go to play!

I remembered that the little boy was trying to pull me into room "202" on the second floor, so I interjected, "Yes, the family lives in room '202' on the second floor of the hotel." ”

Everyone looked at me with blaming eyes, blaming me for interjecting indiscriminately.

Grandma Teng was taken aback, and then nodded: "Yes, the family related to this matter does live in room '202' on the second floor of the hotel!" Little Star, who have you seen in this house? ”

"A little boy of five or six years old."

"Anything else?" “…… I also heard a woman sneer! ”

Everyone looked at me in amazement, and Aunt Liao couldn't help but say, "Why didn't you say this just now?" When did this happen? How do you see and hear? ”

I had to say, "It was yesterday!" I was probably the only one who saw and heard. ”

"The big tiger and the little stone ......"

Grandma Teng interrupted Aunt Liao's words: "Don't ask her!" Listen to me talk about this matter, and everyone can understand. ”

Grandma Teng continued: "There is a family of three who have taken refuge from other places and have come to us and rented room '202' in the hotel behind. The man's health is not very good, and he has been setting up stalls on the street, helping people write letters, notices and the like; The woman worked as a nanny for the Qin family on the next street, and helped people wash clothes at the end of work. There is a five-year-old boy who often plays with the children in our old house!

One day, the man went to set up a stall on the street, but fainted because of poor health, and unfortunately injured Lu Wu, who was passing by, and caused a big accident. That Lu Wu was a tyrant on our street at that time, the head of a ruffian, a scoundrel, and a gangster. Usually he is the only one who hurts others, when has he ever been hit by others! He immediately called a few of his men and beat the man severely. That man was already sick and crooked, and if he was beaten like this again, he died that night!

The families who lived in our old house at that time felt that their family was very pitiful, so they went to help with the funeral, and I went with my grandmother. The woman was unwilling and had already gone to the police station to report the case. But wasn't the police station at that time the same as ruffians and hooligans? They sent two men at random, looked at them pretendly, and said that the man was sick and dead, and they could not care about it. The woman was very stubborn, and in front of them and our neighbors, she said that she would definitely go up there and complain. After the people from the police station left in a huff, our neighbors were afraid that she would suffer, so they persuaded her to endure her anger first and deal with the man's afterlife.

However, before the funeral could be held, an even greater disaster had already come! Lu Wu got the news from the police station that the woman was going to file a complaint, and he took seven or eight of his subordinates to the hotel to make a big fuss, smashed the mourning hall and coffin, drove away the neighbors who helped, and injured the woman, and returned ...... Alas! It's a mess anyway! When they finally left, our neighbors hurried to see the woman. Who knows, everyone found out that the little boy is gone! Everyone looked around again, but they couldn't find it!

The next morning, the little boy finally found it! It turned out that when Lu Wuyi and his gang came to make a fuss, the child was frightened, ran out in a panic, and accidentally fell into the well! The scene was so chaotic that no one saw it, so they drowned alive. It wasn't until someone went to fetch water in the morning that they found him.

The woman killed her husband and son in a row, and she was bullied again, and she couldn't avenge her grievances, she was already a very stubborn and stubborn person, so she committed suicide by jumping into a well full of resentment! It's still in the well where her son drowned, it's really miserable! Hearing this, everyone felt that this family was in a miserable and pitiful situation.

"Grandma Teng, then why did you seal that well?" I don't understand, a well often takes many years, many generations, and each well has drowned more or less people, is it because two people died, should the well be sealed?

“…… For a reason, of course! Grandma Teng's face showed a look of shock, and she seemed to have returned to the past: "The neighbors on the left and right saw that the family of three died miserably, so everyone pooled money to bury them." But on the day when the woman was the "first seven", Lu Wu suddenly died mysteriously by the well. He lived so far away from us, several alleys, that he strangely ran to the well in the middle of the night, and was found dead in the morning. The police station came to take a closer look, and he didn't have any scars on his body, but his expression was very terrifying, and he was scared to death! Thinking that he killed someone's family, we all guessed that he was killed by the woman. Subsequently, the three Lu Wu's subordinates, who beat the man that day and made the most trouble in the hotel, also died one after another. Although the place of death is different, like Lu Wu, there are no scars on his body, his expression is terrifying, and he was scared to death! For a while, rumors spread and people were panicked! We've never had so many people die all at once!

Later, there were legends that these people who died would come out to make trouble. And at this moment, the well suddenly became so dirty that it was all black water, and it foamed at the water, and it could no longer be used. Some neighbors said that at night they heard sounds like crying and laughing coming from the well, and we were so frightened that we didn't dare to go out at dusk, even during the day.

In the end, we really couldn't help it, so we invited a master from the Taoist temple to come. He performed a few rituals at the well, and then he told us to seal the well with thick planks. He painted a talisman with cinnabar on the front of the board, and on the reverse side he also pasted a talisman painted by the master of the previous temple who had been worshiped by the Taoist temple for many years. Finally, he told us not to go near the well and not to damage the planks. We built the wooden house, locked the door with the strongest iron locks, and warned everyone not to come near it. My previous generation has experienced it very well, and most of my peers know about it, but after a long time, because there is no more abnormality, we will not tell you about this matter clearly! Unexpectedly, fifty years have passed, but the well has been opened by these ignorant children! ”

After listening to Grandma Teng's narration, everyone was very heavy for a while, and there was an indescribable fear, so no one spoke.

Although I was also scared, I still asked, "Grandma Teng, what should we do now?" ”

"yes, what's next?" Everyone was a little flustered, just waiting for Grandma Teng to come up with an idea.

“…… Don't panic, everyone. 'There must be a road before the car reaches the mountain', I will go to the master in the Taoist temple to see if I can solve it! You all go home, tonight is the key, take care of the children at home. Yun Zhen (Aunt Liao's name), you also go to the hospital to guard the child, after tonight, you will definitely get better! After listening to Grandma Teng's words, everyone was relieved a lot, so they did as Grandma Teng instructed.

Xiaohua and I followed Grandma Teng upstairs, and Grandma Teng saw that Xiaohua and I seemed to have something to say to her, so she asked, "What else do you two have to tell me?" "I told me in detail about the yellow note I got on the board yesterday and the fact that the two-headed snake saved me in a dream at night, until I heard a sneer, and the two-headed snake appeared.

"Oh? You took that talisman off? Where did you put it? ”

"Here I am. Sister Xiaoxing told me to put it away! Xiao Hua said and carefully took out the talisman from his personal pocket.

Grandma Teng looked at Xiao Hua, didn't answer the talisman, and said, "No wonder they are all scared, but you are fine!" It turns out that the charm is with you! …… You two take the talisman and wait for me at home, and I'll go to the Taoist temple. ”

Xiaohua and I sat in my house, anxiously waiting for Grandma Teng to come back. When it was almost dark, Grandma Teng and a man in his fifties returned. Xiaohua and I were a little disappointed when we saw that this person was wearing similar clothes to us, and he was not tall and nothing special at all.

Grandma Teng said: "Chang Dao Chief, that talisman was taken down by her." The boy is my grandson Xiaohua, who was also there yesterday. He turned to me and said, "Little Star, Xiao Hua, call people!" ”

Reluctantly, we called him, "Chang Dao Chief." ”

"You don't need to call the Taoist, just call Uncle Chang! …… Are you willing to help people? ”

"Yes."

"Okay. Wait a minute, let's go to the well together, do you dare? ”

Xiaohua and I were very scared, but we didn't want to be underestimated, so we stubbornly said, "Of course I dare." ”

Grandma Teng was also a little worried: "Chang Daochang, will the child go, will it hinder you?" ”

"It's fine. Ghosts are not actually scary, but only the scenes that people themselves fantasize because of fear. ”

Xiaohua and I looked at each other: "Isn't it scary? So why is everyone scared half to death when they talk about it? Not to mention seeing ghosts! ”

Chang Dao smiled: "If you are not afraid, ghosts will naturally not be so terrifying!" Seeing that Xiaohua and I were still afraid, and Grandma Teng was also related, Chang Daochang further explained: "The so-called ghost is actually a person's obsession. When people are alive, they have the same seven emotions as joy, anger, sorrow, fear, love, evil, and desire. When a person dies, these things should disappear with them. However, some people are particularly attached to one or several of them, and they are also entrenched in some places where yang energy is insufficient and yin energy is abundant, such as abandoned wells, deserted graves, old buildings, wild lands, etc., and after a long time, they form an energy that can affect people, and then conjure up various images. The more frightened you are, the easier it is to be deceived by its illusions so that it can achieve its own ends. "We still don't seem to understand, but we are less scared.

When it got dark, Xiaohua and I followed Chang Daochang and walked to the small wooden house. Grandma Teng didn't come, and Chang Daochang asked her to wait for us at home. Chang Daochang's expression was very calm, and we calmed down a lot.

Pushing open the door, the outside light penetrated into the house, and the well stood quietly in the corner. There was no movement, and we stood behind Chang Daochang, waiting silently.

Suddenly, a sneer sounded in our ears, coming! I held Xiaohua's hand tightly and found that he was shaking just like me.

"Fifty years later, do you still want to stay here to harm people?" Chang Daochang's voice was calm.

"I ...... Hate...... No! Two vague figures, one large and one small, appeared above the mouth of the well, and it was the sneering strange woman who spoke. Xiaohua and I secretly glanced at her, oh my God! A swollen, unadult-looking horror woman is grinning at us! The little boy next to him also lost the cute appearance I had seen yesterday, his face was distorted, and his belly was bulging out in a terrible way. We were so frightened that we immediately lowered our heads and never dared to look at them again.

"If you think about it, haven't the people who harmed you already received retribution? What do you hate? What are you doing here? Chang Dao said unhurriedly, "You should have figured it out a long time ago!" Reincarnate early, and don't stay here to disturb the inhabitants who have nothing to do with your hatred! ”

"I ...... Why should I listen to you? The female ghost replied in an unclear voice.

"I'm just kind enough to persuade you! Think about it, what are you hating for your long-gone enemies, and keeping this most terrible appearance? The female ghost didn't answer for a long time, and we secretly sweated, not knowing what she was going to do next.

"Mom, are we really scary now?" The little boy asked suddenly, but the female ghost was speechless, but still did not answer.

"Mom, I'm going to play a game with my friends! I don't want to live in the well all the time! The little boy pointed at me and Xiaohua and said, we also plucked up the courage to look at him, his face was not as terrible as just now.

"How? As long as you want, you can take your child to reincarnate and start a new life. Do you want to stay in this dark well with your children all the time? ”

The female ghost raised her head suddenly: "...... Not bad! We don't have to stay here anymore! She seemed to let go of some burden, and her expression became lighter. We were amazed to see that the shape and face of her and the little boy had changed dramatically, and there was no longer the same hideousness and horror as before. They were like an ordinary mother and son, walking towards us hand in hand. Then, their figures slowly faded and gradually dissipated into the air.

Chang Daochang's expression was very pleased, and Xiaohua and I were also very happy that the fear caused by that well had finally disappeared!

Later, as Grandma Teng said, the frightened children got better one after another, and Dahu and Xiaoshi also recovered their health. Everything is back to normal and we're still playing together. It's just that sometimes, I still think of the mother and son, and I think they must be living a good life now!
