Chapter Ninety-Five: Double Dreams
I don't know how long later, when I regained consciousness, there was endless darkness everywhere I looked. But I'm already very familiar with this, and when I look left and right, I feel a lot more relieved, because Sister Lan and Li Fei are by my side, but they haven't woken up yet.
Looking around, I felt that this place was inexplicably familiar—when I looked around, I found that this was the compound of the Hu family. But the reason I didn't recognize it at first was because the place was so desolate.
I and I were lying on the stone slab in front of the door on the south side of the distance, and there was a long stone staircase under our feet, and about six or seven thousand meters away in front of me, there was an ancient well with a diameter of about one meter. The surrounding area was overgrown with weeds and stains of blood.
Seeing this, my heart was a little hairy, because there was no ancient well in the Hu family's compound, and something might have happened in the dream. I immediately woke up Sister Lan and the others, and when they woke up, they saw the bloodstains around the ancient well, and went up to observe them.
Wang Er Mazi, this kid is very timid, and he is shrinking behind me at the moment, his face is pale and trembling.
I told him to wait, but he insisted that he follow us to join in the fun, he is the only one of us who is an ordinary person, and we have to protect him if something happens.
Li Fei touched the blood on the ground and said that the blood was still fresh, and it was estimated that it had just flowed. Sister Lan had the same opinion as Li Fei, thinking that something had already happened here before we came to this dream.
In this dream, there is nothing for us to be afraid of, and a few old guys have swallowed the fake death charm in advance, so naturally they will not die in Hu Xiang's hands...... And whose blood stain is it? And where did this ancient well come from?
This is clearly the Hu family's compound, but there is no well in the Hu family's courtyard at all. And just as we were about to look for Hu Xiang and Miss Zihui, at the edge of the ancient well, a pale hand suddenly crawled out, and the thin hand was stubbornly scratching the edge of the ancient well, and it was stained with water.
At the same time, a cold and low sigh also buzzed through the compound, and the ethereal echo that kept reverberating suddenly made my scalp a little numb.
"! What the hell...... What the hell——!! Jun, Brother Jun! This is Sadako! Sadako!! ”
"Zhen, you are big, Zhen, you kid can't be honest with me, don't keep babbling! You don't even look at where this is, how can a Sadako suddenly pop up! ”
"Quiet! Let's hide first, something is wrong! ”
At this moment, Sister Lan and Li Fei immediately blocked in front of me, looking at the hand that stretched out from the ancient well, constantly grabbing the edge of the well, as if it was about to climb out of it, Sister Lan immediately proposed.
The Hu family is a big place, so there is no shortage of rooms, so we immediately entered a room, locked the door firmly, and then shrank next to the window, nervously observing the situation outside.
It's so strange, isn't it the dream of Hu Xiang and those customers that we entered? Why did an ancient well suddenly pop up?
At this time, at the edge of the ancient well, another hand suddenly appeared, and the shape of this hand seemed to be ...... It's a little different from the other. The skin of this hand was a little blue, and the flesh was open, and it seemed to have rotted a lot, and you could faintly see Sen Sen's white bones through the moonlight.
To make an analogy, it feels like pickled pepper phoenix feet, except that these claws are not chicken feet, but human hands. From this, I also judged that this was not a dead well, but an ancient well with groundwater flowing.
Gradually, as the area of the palm protruding from the edge of the well increased, the palm of the hand turned out of the ancient well, followed by the forearm, and then the long, black and wet hair.
Seeing this, I wondered if I really let Wang Ermazi say it? Is the classic female ghost who only appeared in horror movies going to appear here now? But why?
Rather than fear, my heart was full of doubts and question marks. But at this time, I saw that the ancient well had changed again. When the woman's body, whose entire wet head had poked out of the ancient well, crawled out of nearly half of her body, I found that she was naked.
It's still a little different from Sadako, who has to wear a big white robe and quickly crawl out of it in a weird and curious posture, but this female ghost ...... How to say, when I saw her whole person crawling out of it, I felt a little more sad in my heart than fear.
Her body was naked—her skin was a little swollen after a long period of soaking, but she could still see the shocking scars on it. In her lower abdomen, there was a long, fleshy wound that had rotted due to the long immersion in the water.
After crawling out of the well, she staggered to her feet, as if looking for something, but because she was too thin, she didn't take two steps—with a click, her leg broke directly, and Senbai's bones pierced through the skin and poked out, but there was not a drop of blood coming out.
However, this seemed to be only the beginning, when the first female corpse crawled out of the well, and then there were several more terrifying hands at the edge of the well, all of them women's hands, with long nails that glowed in the moonlight.
One, two, three......
We waited in the room with bated breath, silently gazing at the female corpses that crawled out of the ancient well one after another. They all share some of the same characteristics, first of all, they are all thin and pitiful, with countless shocking scars on their bodies.
Then, on their stomachs, there are long traces of decay that have been dissected, and some female corpses have been empty because of the decay for too long, and the spine bones can be seen directly. By the time the last female corpse crawled out of the ancient well, there were more than fifty female corpses.
These female corpses, like orphans, squatting stiffly on the edge of the sky and staring at the moon on the ground, all covered their faces with their long black hair, swaying leisurely, as if they were walking, but they seemed to be standing still.
They let out a hoarse, indistinct breath and tilted their heads back in an eerie position, but I couldn't make out their faces because of the hair covering.
"What a spectacle...... I didn't expect this kind of thing to happen. ”
Whether it's good or bad, this kind of scene is very shocking. So after a long time, Li Fei muttered a sigh of emotion as if he was our representative.
"It's a coincidence, it seems...... Who have a lot of things to hide from us? ”
Sister Lan silently watched these female corpses, and I saw that her drooping palms had clenched into fists. Now only Wang Er Mazi didn't figure out what was going on, his teeth chattered in fright, and he hurriedly asked me if they were the female ghosts who came to harm us, and if they were going to be slaughtered by them now.
But I'm fine, Li Fei and Sister Lan, I guess they all want to go together now, and my mood is very depressed and heavy. We entered the dream realm that Miss Zihui opened up through the dream spell, so we shouldn't have encountered this kind of thing.
No, it should be that Miss Zihui and those old guys won't encounter this kind of thing. But we are different, we enter into dreams through prophetic dreams. And I think the scene unfolding in front of us now must have something to do with those old guys.
Those old guys with deep pockets are all perverts with hobbies of hunting, who take pleasure in sadism and don't treat women as human beings at all. In their eyes, women are almost the same kind of existence as animals.
By reasoning from this point, it can be understood that these women are probably the victims who were played to death by them and then abandoned their bodies in the ancient well. In modern times this kind of thing may seem unreasonable, but a few decades ago, unfortunately, it was entirely possible.
In the young days of those old guys, it was natural for men to have three wives and four concubines, and in feudal society, women did not have any status. I have heard the saying that in the pre-Cultural Revolution period, many landlords with three wives and four concubines would tighten the restraint on their wives and concubines when they lost their sexual ability in old age.
In that era when women's human rights were not guaranteed, once they couldn't help but be lonely and betrayed their husbands, they would be erased and then abandoned in the ancient well. Only God knows this, so if this woman dies, it will be considered a vain death.
But this is also a matter of no way, at that time, there were many families who had children who could not eat enough, not to mention the boys, and the girls were a burden to stay.
So these girls grew up and sold to human traffickers, sold for a good price, and eventually became concubines for the rich man. The child can be sold, who will care about her life or death?
I think Sister Lan must have thought of it with me, so she said that it was a coincidence—if I guessed correctly, at least one of those old fellows had died now. The bloodstains we saw at the beginning should belong to him.
If he hadn't died, it would have been impossible for me to see what happened in his past and present lives, and looking at this battle, I think that this dead old guy will go to hell nine times out of ten after death, even if he can be reincarnated, he will probably be a beast in the next life.
And just when we were all overwhelmed by this oppressive atmosphere, suddenly there was a miserable howl from a distance.
"Huh, someone seems to be shouting for help......? What's going on? ”
Li Fei and Sister Lan also heard it, and immediately reacted and looked towards the source of the sound - I saw that the door was slammed open, and from inside, two stumbling old figures ran towards the main courtyard with a frightened scream.
And behind the two of them, a shadow held a flickering scimitar in his hand, let out a fierce laugh, and pressed towards them step by step. And this woman is naturally none other than Hu Xiang.
However, the moment these people arrived at the main courtyard, the group of female corpses who seemed to have lost their purpose, wandering in the moonlight, trembled at the same time, their bodies froze, and the next moment, they all slowly twisted their stiff necks and stared silently in the direction where the two old guys were.
"This ...... What's going on......"
Hu Xiang, whose face was full of madness, was also shocked by this scene, his face showed a look of vigilance, frowned tightly, and held a scimitar in both hands, but he didn't dare to chase after the two old guys anymore, and slowly retreated and shrank aside.
"Jun, Brother Jun...... Isn't that our customer, our customer......? ”
Wang Er Mazi grabbed my arm tightly, as if he was a woman, and said to me with a sad face, he is getting more and more confused about the progress of things, or let's withdraw first, otherwise people will kill in a while, and we will not even have a place to run.
I was about to answer Wang Er Mazi when I suddenly heard a calm and familiar voice behind me: "Don't worry, what is happening now has nothing to do with us, so don't worry." ”
