Chapter 109 has another mystery
My uncle's compass was also left by my grandfather, and he told me that it was very sensitive and that it was not difficult to find a corpse.
But as a result, after the little uncle took the compass out of the house, the compass still pointed to Xiao Min, I asked Xiao Min to stand farther away, and the compass turned in circles again.
Looking at the compass that kept spinning in circles, I looked suspicious and asked my uncle what was going on.
"Let her out of this courtyard, she interferes with the compass." My uncle stared at the compass for a while and said to me.
I nodded, signaling that Xiao Min to go as far as she could, not to approach this mansion for the time being, and to call her back when she found me.
She nodded again and again, and immediately went out of the courtyard gate, as soon as Xiao Min left, the compass stopped moving in an instant, and became a "compass" again, just pointing in the direction.
The little uncle walked around the courtyard with the small compass in his hand, but the compass never moved again.
"What's going on?" I looked at the compass.
"There should be no body here, if there is, the deceased is yin, and this compass cannot be found." Uncle Xiao said very surely.
"However, Miss Xiao said that she can't go too far from this courtyard, so her body must be here." After I finished speaking, I still searched carefully for each room.
The house was in disrepair, and there were very few things in it, not even ordinary wooden cabinets or anything like that, and there was no place to hide any corpses.
"Anzhi, as far as the eye can see, there is no place to hide a corpse here, and besides, my uncle thinks that there is no corpse here." The little uncle said, and put the compass away.
"No bodies?" I frowned and was silent for a long time.
"This is the Wei family's ancestral compass, if it is really a yin thing, it will turn quickly, and now that it is like this, there will be no corpses here." The little uncle said, and looked around again: "That girl should be mistaken." ”
"But?" I frowned, looked around the room, and finally landed on the well in the courtyard.
I also thought of the abandoned well in the Deepavali Pavilion in my mind, could it be that there is another mystery in this well?
Thinking of this, I hurried to the well, and by the light of the lantern in the courtyard, I could vaguely see that there seemed to be no water in the well, and I threw two small pebbles down, and it was true.
"Uncle, is there a rope here?" I asked.
The little uncle shook his head, and then thought about it carefully: "However, outside this alley, there should be a place where you can buy it." ”
"Then go buy me a sturdy bundle of rope and come back." I gave my uncle a command.
"Anzhi, you don't want to go down, do you?" The little uncle also looked into the well, but it was pitch black at the bottom, and he couldn't see anything at all.
"Hmm." I nodded.
"I'll buy it, but I'll go down in a moment." After the uncle had finished speaking, he immediately went out of the yard, and after looking at the deep well for a while, I turned and went into the house, took the kerosene lamp, and came out, squatted down, and put all my elbows into the well.
But I still couldn't see clearly, I simply threw the oil lamp directly to the bottom, and the oil lamp quickly smashed to the bottom of the well, this time I finally saw clearly, there was indeed no water under the well, but it was a thick accumulation of dead leaves.
From my point of view now, it doesn't seem like there's any secret passage or anything like that.
When my uncle returned, I immediately took the rope from his hand and let him pull me on top of him, and I went down to find out.
My uncle could not resist me, so he could only agree, and carefully wrapped the rope around my waist several times before he was reassured, and then hung the compass around my neck.
"Be careful, if you are afraid, your uncle will drag you up immediately." The little uncle advised.
"Okay." I turned around in response, grabbed the wall of the well, and retreated little by little, my uncle dragged me hard, so I was extremely steady with every step.
When my foot stepped on the pile of dead leaves, I raised my head and waved at my uncle, meaning that I was fine, and picked up the oil lamp next to the dead leaves, and I began to shine on the wall of the well, which had many cracks, and my hand touched these cracks and felt that there was nothing unusual.
"Am I being too careful?" I muttered.
"Boom, boom."
Just as I was thinking about it, I suddenly heard a strange low voice, and this sound came from my chest, and I looked down to see that it was my uncle's compass.
So, I picked up the compass and looked at it, and I was shocked to find that the compass actually pointed to the position directly in front of me after turning it several times.
But it's just the wall of the well? Could it be that there is some secret passage? I thought about it, and began to feel carefully on the wall of the well.
The wall of the well was cold and slippery, and I felt it for a long time, but I didn't notice anything wrong, so I turned my eyes to my feet, crouched down, and brushed aside the dead leaves under my feet, and found a raised square stone.
I pressed it lightly with my hand, and suddenly there was a "ho" sound, and the wall of the well in front of me suddenly moved up more than a meter high.
"What's wrong, Anzhi?" Uncle Xia heard the sound and asked anxiously.
"Uncle, there's a secret passage here, I'll go in and take a look, you're waiting for me above." With that, I untied the rope around my waist.
Holding the compass with an oil lamp, he walked towards the dark stone path in front of him, there is vitality in this stone path, the so-called living qi is the wind, although it is very weak, but this also proves that it should not be a secret room.
I walked cautiously forward, the stone path was shorter than I had expected, and after walking less than twenty steps, I saw a stone staircase going down, and I went down the staircase, and I was surprised to find that at the end of the staircase was a stone chamber.
When I arrived at the door of the stone chamber, the compass in my hand pointed directly at the stone chamber.
Naturally, I did not go in at once, but stood in front of the door of your stone chamber, and looked into it with an oil lamp, and found that there was a bed there, and nothing else.
However, this bed was still furnished, with a purple-pink curtain, I glanced at the direction of the compass pointer, and thought to myself, Xiao Min's body should be under the curtain, but five or six years have passed, and only a pair of dry bones must have been rotten and weathered.
The dry bones were not terrible to me, and I went to the side of the curtain and lifted it with my hand, but when I saw what was under the curtain, I let out a hysterical scream of fright, and trembled backwards, because I was so frightened that I fell to the ground without standing firm.
