Chapter 29: The Crisis in the Well
"Shaojun, where are you?" In the white fog, the eyes seemed to be suddenly soaked in the oil soup in the hot pot, and the pain was scorching, and in the end, the pain became a dark night where I couldn't see my fingers.
"Shaojun, can you hear me?"
"Huang Shaojun, where are you dead, don't scare me......"
"Brother An, Uncle Qian, where are you?"
She stepped on the potholed stone road with one foot deep and one foot shallow, only to feel that the road in the darkness was smooth and a little abnormal, and the silence around her made her clear footsteps under her feet.
The soles of her shoes collided with the stone slab and made a "cluck, cluck" sound, like a punch hitting her heart.
She panicked because she was blind. She couldn't see anything, and several people in her company were all gone, and she couldn't be sure of Shaojun's life and death.
This well was not so long in her memory, but now she felt the wall and went all the way back to the original road, but she couldn't find the original road.
In the well, there is no wind.
"Huang Shaojun, if you're still there, you should respond."
The tunnel at the bottom of the well was quiet, the sound of small footsteps kept ringing in her ears, and her smooth face was already covered with a layer of fine beads of sweat, and the more she walked, the more she could feel that something was wrong here.
Suddenly, she stopped and stopped moving, and a chill spread from her back to her heart, like a dead person about to drown, and after struggling with only suffocating despair.
Her body seemed to be submerged in the cold water, and she was powerless to move and had no intention of resisting, but trembling all over, waiting, waiting for the arrival of the owner of the other footsteps.
God always opens a window for you when the door is closed. She was blind, but her hearing grew sharper in the night, but it was only after she had stopped that she heard the sound of footsteps following her.
Huang Shaojun, the younger brother of his mother's compatriot, was born only a few minutes later than himself, and it is polite to say that there is still telepathy between her two siblings. Although Shaojun usually likes to play pranks, in this case, she believes that he will not mess around.
Uncle Qian, named Qian Yongting, is his father's good buddy and right-hand man. is a calm and heavy middle-aged man, and at first glance it can give people a sense of down-to-earth security.
And what about her brother An? Although he looks young, he gives people a sense of pressure to be pragmatic and old. When he came this time, his father had told him to be wary of him.
"It is very likely that he is the remnant of the An family back then, and it is possible that they dare to return to their original surname after so long after the incident. This bamboo forest was originally the territory of the original settlement, and no one has dared to touch it because of its evil sect. ”
"Then why did Abba let me go now? I don't know much about Qimen, and I don't want to know what happened to the An family, but it's no longer Abba's time. Murder is against the law, bad things are in prison, and now it is a society governed by the rule of law. ”
The father was silent, as if there was something unspeakable, and after a while, he said, "Do you think it's okay for Shaojun to go?" You are a girl, Abba is old and has a son, and it is very gratifying to have your two sisters and brothers. Abba doesn't want to force you ......"
"I'll go." She understands her father's scruples, Shaojun's temperament is too anxious, and he can't do some things, but her sister, who will eventually become "spilled water", has a stable personality and can be the burden of the future head of the family.
"Eucalyptus, if it weren't for the news coming too suddenly, Abba wouldn't have had much time to prepare, and he wouldn't have needed you to come forward. Your Uncle Qian and An Keshu will go with you, and I have already explained to your Uncle Qian.
An Keshu, if he is really a white-eyed wolf who can't be raised, you will use him as a threat at that time, and this time he took the initiative to ask Ying to protect you, and this is a well-deserved death.
If we are wrong, after we come back, Abba will marry you to him, that child has been very responsible since he came to the Huang family, and I can be regarded as watching him grow up, and I am relieved to marry him. Shaojun has been protected by the two of us too well, he has always been a child's heart, and the Huang family can't be destroyed in his hands. ”
……
She thought too much in this short period of time, and a tear slipped into the palm of her hand without warning. Then, she froze, and for nothing else, the footsteps that had been following her disappeared.
Is it just a delusion?
She didn't know.
When she first arrived at the well, she remembered the strange appearance of the well, which was even whiter than the sky outside. Before she came, she had heard more or less about the evil sect here, but the journey still far exceeded her expectations.
First of all, I found Shaojun who secretly followed the bamboo forest halfway, the news on the road was already mixed, and it was definitely not only their Huang family who received the news, and she didn't worry about letting him stay outside alone and follow him.
And then there's the well on the map. When you look outside, the bottom of the well is pitch black, but inside, it is like an incandescent light shining from a distance, so bright that you can't open your eyes.
A group of nine of them faced this bright and smooth road, and in the end, unconsciously, they became six people, and those three people walked at the end, and no one noticed how they disappeared. By the time I found it, there was chaos around me, because the lights had suddenly dimmed.
Then, in the dark, she heard a scream, it was a young man named Liu Xin among the helpers that Qian Bo had found, the youngest of the helpers was even a year younger than herself, so she paid a lot of attention to him along the way. She remembered that at that time, he shouted at Shaojun, "Young Master, run!" ", and it was completely gone.
She still doesn't know what happened in the dark, but in her memory, it was An Keshu who suddenly rushed in front of her, escorted her and ran forward.
He gasped, his palms holding her were covered with sweat, and it seemed that in a moment of darkness he was badly injured. On the way away, she accidentally rubbed against him, and she could clearly feel a wave of heat with a strong fishy smell rushing towards her, and at the same time his hand holding her would suddenly tighten.
That's when she asked him what had happened. However, An Keshu did not respond, but dragged her for a long time before stopping.
"Cannibalism, no, there's something tearing people apart. No, no, not one, at least two. ”
"Shaojun, will anything happen to Shaojun?" Hearing this, her heart was in turmoil. Just now, she just cared about running, she forgot that the things in the dark were originally aimed at Shaojun, and it was Liu Xin who blocked him for him.
"And, also, what about Chamber?" She was helpless, after all, it was as simple as her father had said before she came, although this place was just a thing. Now that she's dead, how can she calm down?
"Chamber, will he be okay?" She held his hand, shaking it vigorously, her hands were cold, and her heart was cold.
"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid." An Keshu struggled to support her body, caressed her back, and said in a hoarse voice, "With me, I'm still here." ”
"You say, will they be okay?" She couldn't calm down after all, and shook him excitedly. "Shaojun, Shaojun, he can't be fine!"
"Ahem." An Keshu coughed a few times, and the pain from her shaking was unbearable, "Eucalyptus, is there any water?" Give me a sip. ”
"Yes."
"Well, I'll take a break." He tore a few strands of cloth from his clothes, wrapped them around him, and said, "You just stay here, don't, run away." ”
The sound of the strip of cloth tearing was amplified much in the darkness, so she could hear it and realize that something was wrong with him.
"Are you hurt?"
"It's okay, it's just that there is a small hole in the stomach." He stroked her head and smiled, "Promise me, don't run around." ”
