Chapter 5: The Devil in the Well (Part II)

When I got home, I took out the yellow note in my left palm and looked at it, and the vermilion on it seemed to be darker than when I first saw it. I looked at it over and over again, and oh, I finally remembered! The last time Grandma Gu's incident happened, Grandma Teng got this kind of yellow note back from outside. I was even more uneasy, and whispered to myself: "Could it be that there are people like Grandma Gu in that well...... Stuff? "I didn't dare to say the word 'ghost' because I was afraid they would hear it.

What to do? I had to go to Grandma Teng. Unfortunately, Grandma Teng went to her sister's house, and Xiaohua told me that Grandma Teng was coming back tomorrow!

I remembered the sneer I had just heard, and my heart was uneasy.

Xiaohua looked at the yellow note in my hand and said, "Sister Xiaoxing, what is this?" ”

"Oh, this yellow note is something very important!"

"Are you just going to show this note to my grandmother?"

"Hmm."

"What's the use of this note?"

“…… Xiaohua, we may be in trouble! ”

"You mean,...... That well! "Xiao Hua remembered that I almost fell into the well just now, and my face turned white when I brushed the ground!

I wanted to tell him what I had heard sneering again, but seeing him like this, I swallowed the rest of the words.

I thought about it, handed the note in my hand to Xiao Hua, comforted him and said, "It's okay, Xiao Hua, you put the note away." Tomorrow we'll show it to your grandma and ask her to come up with an idea for us. ”

Xiao Hua nodded, and carefully hid the note in his pocket.

I always felt distraught after eating some indiscriminately, so I didn't even watch TV and went to sleep. I was lying in bed with my eyes half-closed, but I couldn't sleep! If there was a ghost in that well, it would be the little boy I saw! Why did I hear another strange woman's laughter? Thinking about it, I felt sleepy, so I closed my eyes and prepared to sleep.

In a trance, I heard someone call me: "Sister, sister, don't sleep." Come and play with us! ”

I was startled, opened my eyes, and found myself standing in front of the big house with a shikumen again, and the little boy just now was waving to me again: "Sister, come quickly." Let's play 'hopscotch' again, come on! ”

I've already guessed that he's not human, how can I play with him again? I tried to shake my head and say no, but my head couldn't move, and I opened my mouth but didn't make any sound. I panicked, and I knew it wasn't good!

"Sister, let's go in and play together!" The little boy took my hand and walked into the house. I was sane enough to know that I could not go with him, but no matter how hard I tried, I could not break free from his grasp, and I followed him into the house.

As I entered, I was greeted by a row of semi-circular dark brown old-fashioned counters, next to a spiral wooden staircase of the same color. The layout also seems familiar, and I seem to have seen it somewhere.

Without thinking much about it, the little boy led me up the stairs. "Knock knock, knock knock" The sound of our footsteps echoed on the stairs, and I thought it was ridiculous in my heart, he shouldn't be a human being, how could there be footsteps?

We ran up to the second floor, and he stopped, pointed to the second room on the west side, and said, "Sister, sister, look, that's my home!" I looked in the direction he was pointing, and the door to the second room was closed, and the door was also dark brown, and there were three numbers "202" in the upper left corner of the door, and the numbers were pale yellow, as if they had been written with a brush.

I was moved, and then I looked at the other rooms, and sure enough, the first one on the west side was "201", and then "203", "204", "205", "206", a total of 6 rooms.

The little boy pushed open the door and said with a strange smile, "Sister, come and sit down at our house!" ”

I didn't want to go, but my feet didn't obey me and went forward, one step, two steps, three steps...... As I was about to walk in the door, I panicked, sweat streaming down my head.

There was a loud bang, my eyes were dark, the house, the little boy were gone, I felt that my clothes were wet, I looked around, it was dark, and I couldn't see anything clearly. I thought I had a nightmare, so I wanted to get out of bed to wipe my sweat and change into dry clothes.

As soon as my body moved, I sank straight down. I realized that I was not in bed at all, but in a dark water. I looked around and could vaguely discern that I was surrounded by mossy walls. Looking up again, there was a jagged hole at the top, with a faint light streaming in.

It's clearly a well, a well in a small wooden house!

As soon as I realized this, my body sank violently, and the cold, foul-smelling water enveloped me, and I did not dare to breathe, I could no longer see anything in my eyes, and I could clearly hear the sound of water bubbling in my ears.

The biting cold and utter darkness were like a prophecy of death, allowing fear to spread from the heart to the whole body.

I wasn't willing to wait for death, so I grabbed it with both hands, hoping to catch something. Suddenly, I felt my hand grasp a slippery, thick stick, and I immediately pounced on it and clung to it.

This stick actually carried me up so fast, oops! I remembered that there were still planks left at the mouth of the well! Seeing that I was about to hit the plank at the mouth of the well, I quickly closed my eyes.

Hey? After a while, without feeling the plank, I opened my eyes and found that I was already outside the well. I turned my head and saw that the well was still the same as it was when we left in the afternoon, and how did I get out of that hole?

At this time, the sneer of the strange woman came to my ears again, which looked particularly eerie and terrifying in the quiet night. I ran away, praying in my heart that she wouldn't chase me. But the laughter always lingered in my ears, no matter how fast I ran! Oops, I was running too fast, and I suddenly found a big hole in front of me, and I couldn't close my feet and fell down all at once!

I jumped up and it was a dream! I'm lying on the bed at home, and I'm really "thinking about it day and night"! I was just about to breathe a sigh of relief, but I heard a sneer that made my heart beat again! This time, it was not a dream, because the "familiar" laughter was right outside the door, through a not-so-thick wall, and clearly reached my ears.

Oh, my God! Was it just me dreaming? The laughter suddenly turned to the window, and I really didn't have the courage to look at it, for fear of seeing a terrible sight.

What to do? What to do? Am I going to scream for help?

"Hiss, hiss, hiss", something approached me. I subconsciously covered my head with a blanket, even though I knew it was useless. That thing got to my feet! It's cold, slippery, and gives you goosebumps.

I can't stand it anymore, grab my hand, huh? It feels a little familiar! My heart moved, wasn't this the thick "stick" that had just rescued me from the well in a dream (let's be a dream)? I lifted the blanket and saw that it was the two-headed snake that had rescued me last year that had swam to my feet! It stuck its tongue out at me, like an old friend of mine. Then he got out of bed, crossed his body against the window, and raised his head as if he were facing a great enemy, and from time to time spit out the letter and make a "hiss" sound.

I felt that I had something to rely on, so I settled down and looked out the window nervously. Outside the window, there was no terrifying female ghost (on TV) who was expected to float around in white.

After waiting for a while, the sneer did not sound again. Let's go? I dared to go to the window and listened, but there was no unusual noise. I looked at the two-headed snake and wanted to pounce on it and hug it!

"Hiss" It swam over and circled me twice, seemingly anxious to say something to me. It's a pity that it's a snake after all, and it can't speak, at least I can't understand what it says.

I looked at the clock, it was already three o'clock in the morning, and it would start to light in a while, so it should be fine. The two-headed snake seemed to understand what I was thinking, and shook its head and tail at me, I felt that it was in a hurry, but I didn't know why it was in a hurry.

I had to comfort it and comfort myself: "It's all right, that ...... Well...... The female ghost was scared away by you and won't come back! "It circled around me again, swam towards the door, swam two steps, and then it stopped and looked at me, and disappeared like last time!

I lay back in bed, but I didn't feel sleepy anymore. As the two-headed snake was leaving, the look in the eyes of the two-headed snake gave me a sense of worry, could it be that it was worried about the ...... Will the female ghost still come? But didn't that weird white cat last year never come to me again? I thought about it, I didn't have a clue, and before I knew it, the sky was bright!

When I got up, I went downstairs to the faucet, absentmindedly brushing my teeth, washing my face, and getting ready for breakfast. Outside the door came the sound of footsteps and babbling. What's wrong? So noisy early in the morning? The door was pushed open, and Grandma Teng was the first to walk in, and I happily greeted her. Without waiting for me to speak, Grandma Teng asked me anxiously, "Little Star, where is Xiaohua?" Did you both have a nightmare last night? ”

I was stunned, when did Grandma Teng become a fairy? Do we even know that we had a dream last night and had a nightmare?

"Grandma, how do you know we have nightmares?" I don't know when Xiaohua stood beside me.

"Yes! How did you know? ”

"Tell me more! You leather monkeys, where the hell did you go crazy yesterday? Nightmares en masse at night! ”

"That's right! Our family's Yangyang screamed and shouted in the middle of the night, so that we couldn't sleep! ”

"Our family's Yao Yao kicked and beat at night, and cried hard in the morning!"

"You're all okay! Our family covered their heads with a quilt in the morning, and they hid under the bed and refused to come out! ”…… After listening to the words of the adults, I silently counted in my heart: except for Aunt Liao, the parents or fathers and grandmothers of the other seven children are here!

Xiaohua lowered her head, I was about to speak, when suddenly someone ran in from outside, she pushed through the crowd and ran straight to me: "Little star, you said, where did you go to play with Dahu and Xiaoshi yesterday?" When I saw it, it was Aunt Liao, her eyes were red and she looked very flustered.

"What's wrong? Big Tiger and Little Stone also had nightmares last night? Grandma Teng asked her.

"Yes! Oh, yes! Last night, the two children had a quarrel in the middle of the night, and this morning, before dawn, both of them developed a high fever. …… The big tiger was cramping and talking nonsense, and the little stone was also burned to the point of delirium, and he couldn't speak! ”

"Oh, that's going to have to be sent to the hospital!"

"It's sent, no, the doctor said he was going to be hospitalized! …… I'll be back packing my things! Aunt Liao said, her voice choked, and tears flowed down.

Xiao Hua raised his head, and I glanced at him, and our faces turned white. Is it a coincidence that Big Tiger, Little Stone, me and Xiao Hua, and seven other children, all the children who entered the small wooden house yesterday, all had terrible nightmares at night?

"Little Star, come and tell Grandma Teng, did you go to play together yesterday? Where to go? What was played? ”

I nodded: "Yesterday after school, we were playing hide and seek together. Later......"

"What happened?"

I had no choice but to tell me about yesterday's events. However, because there were many people listening, I concealed the yellow note, and I wanted to wait for a few people to tell Grandma Teng again.

After listening to me, everyone suddenly fell silent, and the atmosphere was very tense.

As soon as I looked, Grandma Teng and several elderly fathers and grandmothers had become very ugly, blue and white, like some devil appeared in front of them. The aunts and uncles didn't know much about this, but it was estimated that they also knew a little bit about it, and looking at the faces of a few old people, they thought of Aunt Liao's big tiger, small stone and the situation of their own children, so everyone became nervous.

Everyone invariably turned their eyes to Grandma Teng, waiting for Grandma Teng to tell everyone the reason, so as to get an idea!
