Chapter 6: Scooping Up Corpses
Biluo is a ghost?
I feel like I've been confused by this old man, because, at the moment, I can be sure that there is Biluo among people who are not ghosts, and the evidence is that I can capture her in my photos, but not Jinse.
And the matter of the power bank, as well as the fact that He Mingrui's mobile phone was lost inexplicably, are all showing that the mobile phone is very important to unlock the secrets of this village, and I feel that what I see in the mobile phone should be the truth.
So, I thought about it for a moment and looked at the one-eyed old man and asked.
"The village chief looks normal, how can it be a ghost?"
As a result, the old man said with a cold smile.
"Are people here really that normal? If it's normal, why would you want to get out of here? ”
His words spoke to my heart.
It's not that I'm suspicious by nature, this village is really too evil, and, in fact, Biluo and I have only just met, and it's the same as this one-eyed old man, so I can't trust anyone more.
Then the old man continued.
"You should also be a smart person, if Biluo is really a good person, why doesn't she let you go out of the village directly? The one who just passed was with you, you also saw his situation, whether you believe me or believe Biluo, you choose. ”
Choose one of the two!
The old man didn't rush me, but just stood there quietly waiting for my decision.
Eventually, I decided to take a gamble and take his word for it.
There is no particular reason why I chose this way, most of it is based on simple gambling, if I have to say the reason, it is that I don't understand Biluo's purpose, but this old man's reason is simple and sufficient.
"Okay, I'll go get someone."
The one-eyed old man nodded, then took out a note and said.
"This is the address of my house and the name of my child, after so many years, maybe it is no longer there, but I should be able to inquire about it, write it down in my head, and then dispose of the note."
I nodded, and then the one-eyed man took out a bag and handed it to me.
"I've got ropes and the like ready, and those who fake their deaths will regain consciousness as soon as they see the moonlight, remember, you can't let anyone know about this matter, just go to the yard where there are three mulberry trees at the east gate of the village to find me."
It seems that he has been prepared for a long time.
I silently took the bag and turned to walk towards the house I had been in.
The fact that Situ Xiaozhu is an inner ghost has hit me hard, and now all I want in my head is to leave this ghost place quickly, and I feel that if I want to save myself, I have to take action, and it is always better to take the initiative than to wait passively.
I climbed over the wall and entered the backyard, the mouth of the ancient well was hewn out of stone, about a foot high, and on either side of the well were two wooden stakes, which I reckon should have been used to put wheels and other things, but now there is nothing but wooden stakes.
When I opened the bag that the one-eyed man had given me, I found that it was not only full but also professional, with all kinds of hooks, ropes, and suspenders, but I didn't know how to climb, so I tied one end of the rope to a stake, and then put a roll of rope on my back, and tied a rope noose and hook around my waist.
When I was ready, I stood at the mouth of the well and looked down.
A cold breath came to my face, and it was dark below that I couldn't see how deep the well was, and I didn't know if there was water in it, and I couldn't know the depth of the water.
At this time, the scene of the terrifying Sadako in "Midnight Bell" suddenly came to mind from the ancient well, and the scene of the hero and heroine going down the well to salvage the bones, I felt goosebumps on my body, and I knew that I wouldn't watch so many horror movies today.
I raised my head, took a deep breath, and then stepped into the well, alternating my hands and slowly sinking into the endless darkness at the bottom of the well.
The phone was out of battery for a long time, and I didn't have any other lighting tools in my hand, and soon I was shrouded in darkness, and I felt colder and colder, that abnormal cold, like a cold winter, the wall of the well should be covered with moss or something, and it was slippery to step on, which showed that this should indeed be an old well that had been abandoned for a long time.
I don't know how far I went, but I finally heard "Whoa!" With a bang, my feet were cold at the same time, and I finally touched the water.
I slowed down and started to stir back and forth with my feet in the water as I descended, and I felt like something like aquatic grass or hair was hindering the movement of my thighs, which made me feel a little creepy, but luckily, just as I was about to break down, I kicked something.
I couldn't see it, but I felt that it was a person, and judging by the person's location, the well water shouldn't be too deep.
As it turned out, I was right, the biting water of the well only reached my chest, and on one side of the well stood a man standing quietly.
At this moment, my heart was beating so fast that I was afraid that this person would suddenly talk to me, or suddenly rush at me, which would have scared me to death, but fortunately, such a thing did not happen, except that the hair-like things in the water were burrowing into the trousers and cuffs as if they were living creatures.
"Gotta ...... Offended ......"
As I spoke, I shuddered and wrapped the prepared rope around the man's waist and tied a dead knot.
However, just as I was about to breathe a sigh of relief, a rope suddenly fell from above.
"Whoa!"
My heart sank to the bottom with the sound of ropes falling into the water.
Someone untied the rope on it and threw it down.
"Holy! This old man hurts me. ”
My first thought was that the one-eyed old man was playing tricks, because only I and he knew about it, and he quietly called me out, and then prepared all kinds of things for me in advance, so that I could go down the well and then untie the rope from above.
The walls of the well were straight and covered with moss, and I had no chance to climb them.
"Looks like I made a mistake!"
I chose to believe in the one-eyed old man between Biluo and the one-eyed old man, and now it seems that Biluo is right, I shouldn't have violated the taboo in the first place, I can't go down the well, but, then, I realized that there seems to be something illogical about things, did Biluo already know that someone would lie to me about the taboo I said when I went down the well?
Or is it that the one-eyed old man knew the four taboos and deliberately tricked me into going down the well, and what was his purpose in doing this? It feels completely thankless, and I won't get anything!
But, I feel that this reasoning doesn't seem to make sense logically, first, the one-eyed old man is good, when he just covered my mouth, I couldn't resist at all, if you want to hurt me, give me a knife and it's over, or just knock me out, why bother, second, if he hadn't covered my mouth, I would have been taboo at that time, so his purpose should not be to make me taboo.
Could it be Situ Xiaozhu!
I suddenly thought of a person, the only person in this courtyard is Situ Xiaozhu, and besides, she is the one who asked me to come to this village and steal the power bank, and she definitely has a reason to do such a thing.
"No, now is not the time to think about this, let's think about how to go up."
I shook my head violently and began to try to climb the wall of the well, just as I expected, not to mention that the moss was so slippery, even without moss, there was no chance for an ordinary person like me to climb out of the deep well.
I looked up at the sky that had turned into a small round hole, and the almost round moon that was in endless terror.
When I was a child, I used to read a text called "Sitting in a Well and Watching the Sky", and now my situation is very similar to the frog in the article.
"No, you can't sit still like that."
The desperate thought is just a flash, I have no merit as a person, but I have the habit of not shedding tears when I don't see the coffin, I must find a way to get out.
Shouting out should be the way to go, but this is also one of the taboos, I have already committed one, I can't do it again, so I unhooked the iron hook from my waist and began to dig the moss on the wall of the well, and after the moss was scraped off, I began to bang the wall of the well.
If you can't shout, you can only knock.
However, after a long time, no one showed up, and my heart sank again.
Behind this backyard is the mountain, in front of the house and yard, the only person who is likely to hear my knocking is Situ Xiaozhu, but she obviously won't help me, so I'm dead end.
"Okay, let's shout and try it."
There was really no way around, so I took a deep breath and prepared to start shouting "help".
However, at this time, someone suddenly said at the wellhead.
"Leaf ...... That, are you down there? ”
It was Situ Xiaozhu's voice.
How did she get here?
I was stunned for a moment, but immediately became ecstatic.
"It's me, find a rope and let me go up first."
Situ Xiaozhu agreed, and after a while, she really put a rope down.
"Am I wrong to blame her?"
I tugged at the rope and muttered in my heart as I climbed up, I felt a fog in front of me, if this thing wasn't done by Situ Xiaozhu, who would it be?
Soon, I was crawling up.
"Why did you run into the well, I just looked for you everywhere, and you are dying."
Situ Xiaozhu said a little excitedly when she saw me coming out, I saw that her eyes were very red, she should have been crying very hard just now, and suddenly she was a little distressed inexplicably.
So, I thought about it and said.
"I'll explain this to you later, and in addition, there are some things to ask you, but before that, let's drag this person up."
As I spoke, I began to pull the rope, eager to see who the guy I was trying to save that almost killed me in the well.
After a long time, we finally dragged this man up.
However, the moment his head was exposed, I was so surprised that I almost let go and let him fall again.
