Shanshan carefully compared the locations of the three roads, two of which were made of stone slabs, and the third was just a dirt road that was stepped on. "Shanshan, you already have an idea, right?" I asked.

"Well," Shanshan pointed to the two stone paths, "these are the roads on the map, but if they were walking on these two roads, it would not be possible to fall into the well, because these two roads can merge with the main road after 10 minutes of walking." Well, they should be on this path. ”

I've always been convinced of Shanshan's judgment. Xiaoxue also agreed with Shanshan's analysis. Time is ticking and we have to start looking.

The fog on the mountain is getting thicker and thicker, and it is now past 10 o'clock, but the sun has not yet come out, the air is damp, and the ground is covered with thick leaves. Following the faint road, we walked cautiously.

"It's almost time to the Moon Shadow Spring. Attention everyone. Shanshan reminded us.

But we haven't looked back,

No one noticed that the path behind him was getting more and more blurred, more and more blurred.

Legend has it that if you can see the reflection of the moon in the Moon Shadow Spring, then your wish will come true. However, due to the remoteness of the location of the Moon Shadow Spring, and the people were not so leisurely and leisurely waiting silently at night in the reflection well of the moon and the middle sky, so gradually, the Moon Shadow Spring was also deserted. Except for the occasional person who walks in, no one deliberately looks for it.

We were standing at Moonshadow Spring, and sadly, standing here, we could see the lighthouse on the 5th floor, even though the trees around it were that tall.

"Did she misremember?" I'm so tired.

"It's not that she's mistaken, it's that we're wrong." Shanshan is still vibrant. "The Great Bitter Ancient Well is not far from here. Keep going! ”

The road still stretched forward, and the sky was getting darker and darker, and through the dense foliage you could see the small sky overhead, and the heavy lead

Grey. Now, the wind is starting to blow. The leaves above us danced, the branches fluttered high, and the dense woods blocked the wind, but we walked cautiously. Until, we found out that there was no way out.

In such a familiar flashy mountain, in broad daylight, with a map in hand, we got lost.

I wanted to retreat to the Moon Shadow Spring, but when I turned around, I realized that there was no way behind me. We were isolated surrounded by trees, the map, it was a piece of paper, we took out our phones, there was no signal at all.

In horror, such a situation, usually, there are fierce ghosts.

We won the lottery!?

"Don't be afraid......, don't panic," I silently comforted myself in my heart. The left hand is Shanshan, and the right hand is Xiaoxue. Ever since they knew that I didn't have the protection of the Jade Buddha, every time they encountered danger, they stood by my side and protected me like this.

So, I'm not afraid.

The wind was getting stronger and stronger, the black clouds were pressing, and the leaves that had been deposited on the ground at the high ground were overwhelming us, mixed with clods of earth and small stones, cutting through the skin, and bursts of pain.

"Quick, everyone squat down!" Shanshan shouted loudly in the wind, and even when she was so close, her voice was still torn apart by the wind. "Baby, don't let go, pull me tight." Squatting on the ground with my back high, leaning forward, and the sand and gravel wind behind me, I just felt like my body was shaky, and I just wanted to fall down. Shanshan and Xiaoxue pulled me desperately.

How could there be such a strong wind in such a closed environment.

"Xiaoxue, Shanshan, let's stand up, leeward, do you see the big tree in front of you? We used to hold it. Otherwise, if it goes on like this, it will not be able to support it. I shouted with difficulty, and then stood up carefully, but the wind behind me was even more violent, and my feet slipped, and my body involuntarily leaned forward.

"Baby!" Shanshan and Xiaoxue pulled me tightly, and the three of them hugged each other and fell to the ground. Rough stones swept across our faces, and blood marks were visible. The clothes were also torn in the struggle, and the jade Buddha fell out of her neck. Suddenly, the wind stopped.

Although the sky was as gloomy, the wind stopped. A second ago, we were still worried about our lives, and only from each other's embarrassment can we see that what just happened is real.

Why this is so, we know it by heart, but we are also confused.

We know she did it, but why did she do it, we're helping her find her bones, is she going to kill us? If she hadn't done it, who would it be? Is there another person who can control everything about us in the dark?

Zhou Tinglan, Li Yuting, or who else, who is it, who wants our lives?

After the wind calmed down, everyone looked around.

"Baby, look there!" Xiaoxue called out in surprise.

At the sound of the voice, only 10 meters away from us, there is a road, leading down from the mountain on one side, and at the end of the road, there is a stone well.

Kugujing!

In the third year of Tang Yonghui, Xiangshui (now Xiangjiang) flooded, the flood spread to the foot of the Fuhua Mountain, after 32 days it slowly receded, after the water receded, a great plague broke out, for a time, dead bodies can be seen everywhere. In order to prevent the plague from continuing to spread, and also to save the suffering sentient beings, Master Wuzhen, the abbot of Fuhua Temple at that time, led all the monks and healthy people to find and dig two wells in Fuhua Mountain. It means that after the tribulation of great suffering and great compassion, one will reach the state of bliss.

After thousands of years of baptism of wind and rain, now there is no way to find the ancient well of bliss, only this ancient well of great suffering, which is still silently purifying sentient beings in the depths of the dense forest.

Such an ancient well with beautiful significance, which has rescued thousands of people from danger, could it really be the burial place that Jingjing said?

The three of us supported each other and walked towards the Great Bitter Ancient Well.

It is said that when the Great Kugu Well was built, it was more than 4 feet high above the ground. Now, we can only see a small edge abruptly exposed, lonely telling of the glorious past.

"Wait baby, don't you think there's anything wrong?" Shanshan stopped suddenly.

I look around, here, just in time to see the lighthouse in the mist, 1, 2, 3, 4, you can see 4 floors, yes. "What's the problem?"

"If you look at the Great Bitter Ancient Well, we can see a well at that time from so far away, although it is only a little bit above the ground, but it can still be distinguished. Why, from Jingjing's words, it feels like she fell unconscious suddenly, is this possible? Can't she see?? ”

"Maybe, maybe the night was too dark, plus she was in a bad mood, so ...... "I find a reason."

"No, if she didn't see it, the most likely thing is that she stumbled, and if she stumbled, she must have fallen upside down, and everyone died. How can you still say that you have been waiting in the well for several days? ”

"Could it be a foot in it?" I don't even believe this reason.

Shanshan gave me a strange look, "Do you think you might be walking with your feet so high?"

"Anyway, let's go check it out first. Let's go, Xiaoxue, what's wrong, Xiaoxue? When I turned my head, I realized that something was wrong with Xiaoxue.

Xiaoxue frowned and looked around vigilantly, "Did you smell anything?" ”

After being reminded by her, I realized that I didn't know when it started, and the air around me became unusually turbid, filled with a fishy and stale smell, filling the entire space. It's a familiar scent.

Probably, we've really come to the right place. "I think.?

Moving on, we find.

The Great Bitter Ancient Well is where the stench originated.

From the direction we came, see the big bitter ancient well, more than the ground about 40 centimeters, close to know that in our eyes of the back, the ancient well has already tilted and collapsed, at this time, the clear well water is gushing out, we see, is the clear and incomparably like the sweet spring of the well water, but, but emitted bursts of unbearable stench, and the difference is that in this stale smell, it seems to be nothing, mixed with a vague incense.

"What to do? Do you want to go down? Xiaoxue asked.

"Of course, since you're here, it's okay to stink, just clean the toilet." I had a momentary humor. "But that's too much of an exaggeration, isn't it? How can there be so much water from a well that it overflows? ”

"We'll wait." Shanshan took down her backpack, "We haven't eaten lunch yet, let's replenish some energy first." ”

"Okay!!" Xiaoxue and I cheered.

The three of them took the newspaper and laid it on the dry floor and began to eat.

Time passed slowly. "Shanshan, why is my body so groggy that I don't want to take a nap, right?" Xiaoxue's voice was confused. I also felt a sleepiness that I had never felt before, paralyzing my body and stimulating me to close my eyes. Before I became conscious, I held Shanshan and Xiaoxue's hands tightly.

When the three of us were unconscious next to the Great Bitter Ancient Well, Xiao Zhi and Alan were sitting in the office of the department counselor, listening to Wang Tang tell about what happened five years ago.

"Director Wang, you were too pitiful at the time, right? Was Zhou Tinglan used as a nanny? "This is Alain.

"She's so beautiful, and to be honest, we haven't seen a picture of her yet." This is Xiao Shiba.

Wang Tang smiled, "Zhou Tinglan's beauty, as a man, I will be jealous when I see it, she is like a perfect work of art, so that you can't help but want to possess, desire, to protect, in this process, we often ignore the imperfections in her character, but in the end, when I have seen too much beauty and become desolate and pale, I found that she is just a work of art without feelings, no love, no care, only appreciation of herself, only a sense of superiority." ”

Xiao Zhi and Alan looked at each other, and in the face of Wang Tang's words, they didn't know what to say for a while.

Wang Tangjing continued, "Just got her, I feel that I am the happiest person in the world, and it is a kind of brilliance to have such a beautiful and intelligent lover. I regard Zhou Tinglan as the pride of my heart. But I was wrong, the nobility and grace she showed in front of outsiders were lost in the face of me. Because of her beauty and the pampering that people pampered her, she could dictate to me, and I began to wonder if I loved her. Especially when I found out that ......"

Wang Tang's words stopped abruptly here, and everyone could hear that he had deep scruples.

Xiao Zhi touched Alain's hand, and Alain understood, "When you found out that Zhou Tinglan and Li Yuting had a very close relationship, you couldn't bear it anymore, didn't you, Director Wang?" ”

Alain's words undoubtedly shocked Wang Tang, and he was of course surprised that the past, which he thought no one knew, could come out of a little girl's mouth so easily. However, the surprise was only for a moment.

Wang Tang took a sip of tea, and his tone was very calm, "You know, then I don't have to hide it." Zhou Tinglan's bedroom, there are only 3 girls, I think you all know who it is, at the beginning, I only felt that Li Yuting showed a strong hostility towards me, but I don't know why. Later, I heard it from Zhou Tinglan's mouth, she admitted that she and Li Yuting were not good friends in the ordinary sense, they had another degree of intimacy, at that time, I felt that the happy edifice created for Zhou Tinglan in my heart suddenly collapsed. ”

"Later, when I was with Yue Xingshuang, I indirectly heard a lot of things about their bedroom from Yue Xingshuang's mouth, and I realized that the goddess in my mind was just a dissolute and vulgar woman. Her beauty can't charm me in the slightest. ”

"Director Wang, don't be sad, it's all over, isn't it?" Alain comforted Wang Tang.

"Thank you, but I have a question," Wang Tang looked at the two students in front of him, "why are you asking these things." ”

Xiao Zhi pursed her lips, "Director Wang, I'm sorry, we can't tell you, but don't worry, our purpose is good, and we won't promote it casually." ”

"Hahahahaha" Wang Tang regained his former hearty personality, "I hope you will publicize it, I am such a handsome person, and now I need to advertise extensively!" ”

Alan Xiaozhi and the two of them had goosebumps and trembled when they said this......

Looking at the time, it was already half past twelve, Wang Tang stood up and said, "Go, call those people in your bedroom, and I will invite you to dinner." ”

"Forget it, we'll save you money, just the two of us today, they have something to do." Alain said.

The three of them took their things and prepared to go out, chatting as they walked.

"Director Wang, are you still with Yue Xingshuang now? Why haven't you seen it? Alain was quick to speak.

As soon as the words came out, Wang Tang stopped. "You don't know? I thought you knew. There was uncontrollable sadness on his face.

"In the second week of Zhou Tinglan's disappearance, Yue Xingshuang died in their bedroom."

When I woke up from the Great Bitter Ancient Well, it was already evening.

It was a haze for a day, but there was still a red glow lingering in the west like blood. The water from the well no longer gushes, the faint fragrance of leaves wafted through the air, the mist receded, and everything became clear and clear.

The Great Bitter Ancient Well, there are faint water marks on the wall of the well, that is a sentence.

It was exactly the same as the unknown message that appeared on our phones.

It says, "No one can escape it."

We packed up and went down the mountain, calm and peaceful. Occasionally, I met a few people, smiling and nodding, twisting a mountain flower, and happily seeing a big bird with beautiful feathers resting on the treetops. Suddenly, I realized that everything suddenly opened up.

Thank you for that sentence: no one can escape it.

Since, you can't escape it, and it won't change the result, then leave it alone. A little effort, for us, is better at the worst.

I told Shanshan Xiaoxue what I thought, and I was very happy that they can still smile like flowers now.

Back in the dormitory, Alan told us that Yue Xingshuang had died a long time ago.

At this moment, I am standing on the roof of the dormitory, and from here, I can see that the lighthouse on the top of the mountain is also the light on the fourth floor.

Yue Xingshuang died, and Zhou Tinglan and Li Yuting both disappeared. What happened to the three of them in the summer of that year? What kind of despair or anger can make them give up the warmth of life, and what kind of hatred and unwillingness let them ambush us through the darkness? There is no answer, there is no answer to anything.

Once, we were so far away, and now, we are so close, an impossible intersection, but such a ridiculous and absurd relationship has been deduced.

Now, there is no way back, I don't want to die, and everyone doesn't want to die, so we have to work hard to live. "When we were investigating in the student union, we didn't see any information about Yue Xingshuang at all. Because at the beginning, we didn't pay much attention to her, and we didn't think there was anything wrong with it at all. Xiaoxue said.

"We looked at it again, and there was no Yue Xingshuang's copy in that issue of the student file. I asked the archivist, and he said that it seemed that when he was in the file that year, Yue Xingshuang's share was missing. Shanshan was skeptical, "Could it be that the school has taken the file away?" ”

Alan played with the pen in his hand, "Maybe, Wang Tang said that Yue Xingshuang died in the dormitory, which is also a big stain on the school, and it may not be announced to the public and the file will be hidden." ”

"Alan, Wang Tang didn't say anything, how did Yue Xingshuang die?" The more I thought about it, the more I felt that something was wrong.

We also asked Wang Tang, and he said that at that time, because he was Yue Xingshuang's boyfriend, he could enter the scene. Yue Xingshuang was lying on the bed when he died, soaking wet all over his body, and there was a cut mark on his wrist. But the medical examiner said that judging by the method of cutting the wounds and the characteristics of the body, it was definitely a suicide. Shanshan's tone was also very affirmative.

"Why, Yue Xingshuang wants to commit suicide? Zhou Tinglan is missing, and for her, the biggest obstacle is gone, why did she die at this time? "I'm getting more and more confused.

"Could it be Li Yuting?" Shanshan took out a piece of paper, "Zhou Tinglan quarreled with Wang Tang on Friday, May 25, and then disappeared, Li Yuting took leave to go home on May 29, and Yue Xingshuang was found dead in the dormitory on June 1. Is it possible that Li Yuting pretended to go home in order to help Zhou Tinglan avenge her, but in fact, between May 29th and June 1st, she was still at school, and she left after killing Yue Xingshuang. ”

"Li Yuting?" I don't know why, I saw the photo that Shanshan and the others got back this morning, Li Yuting on it, with a smile on her eyebrows, although she is not very beautiful, but she seems to be a very gentle girl. I don't know how such a woman could do such a heinous thing.

Photo from 5 years ago, lying quietly on the table with 3 girls smiling and looking at us. Zhou Tinglan is very beautiful, with a coquettish wildness, with naïve mystery, and her beauty is so flamboyant and domineering, which makes Li Yuting and Yue Xingshuang around her lose their color.

How can such a stunning color wither for an immature love?

Staring blankly at the photo.

Putting the photos away, I said to my buddies, "How were we in the last Flashy Mountain?" ”

The faces of the four people were deeply puzzled.

"I think, in Fuhua Mountain, there must be something hidden, someone else, it must be. Find her, and maybe we'll be able to find out. ”

In the face of these friends who have lived with me for 3 years, I know that their inner struggle is just like me at this time, the road ahead is unknown danger, but it is also a ray of hope, and behind them are former friends, waiting for us to find out the truth and save her from danger. I stretched out my hand, expectantly......

The day before yesterday, I encountered an inexplicable strange thing in the Great Bitter Ancient Well, so the Great Bitter Ancient Well may be a clue. After trimming and preparing last night, the five of us set foot on the Vanity Mountain again at 8 o'clock this morning.

Today's weather is very good, we have only one destination, Dakugujing, after the last exploration, this time has been familiar enough to be familiar with the road without a map. 5 people are carrying big backpacks, don't say, there are really a lot of things inside, considering all the conditions, in Xiaoxue's backpack are 2 bundles of rope and some potions, Alain's backpack is food and drink, Xiaozhi's bag is the most miscellaneous things, flashlights, paper and pencils, knives, gauze, mosquito repellent water, matches, etc., Shanshan is holding diving goggles, climbing rope buckles, gloves, these are what she took from her boyfriend who does orienteering, and I, pitifully carrying an oxygen bag, And the miscellaneous stuff that was left over from each of them.

Bitter life!

After walking for about 1 hour, we first came to the Moon Shadow Spring.

Last time, after walking through the Moon Shadow Spring, I approached the edge of danger. I reminded everyone, "Be careful, and be on the lookout for what's going to happen, especially you, Alain!" ”

Alain's expression was strange, as if he was very excited and as if he was in pain.

"Alain, what's wrong with you?" Xiaoxue, who was walking next to her, asked with concern, Alan looked too strange.

"Huh? What the? I'm fine, just, feel a little cold. "For a moment, it seemed that Alain was back to normal.

"Is it cold?" Xiao Zhi looked up at the sun, and then at Alain, "It's still cold?!" The sun is so big. ”

Is there something wrong? I thought to myself, but I didn't think there was anything wrong. Maybe it was the last time that I was too nervous.
