Zombie Suspicion Chapter 24 Water Well
I was startled, scrambled to my feet, felt out of shape again, spun around half a circle, and sat back down. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć info Sima Qinglian ignored me, she was immersed in that weird and inexplicable state, motionless.
It wasn't until a trace of dark clouds in the sky caught the moon that Sima Qinglian woke up like a dream, smiled at me gently, and the smile was like a white lotus blooming in an instant, and then, without saying a word, she stood up lightly, turned around and went back to the house, looking like she was sleepwalking.
I sat there and watched her enter the room, as if I had been bewitched by something, and I didn't react at all, until after a while, suddenly I struck a spirit, and the whole person gradually came to his senses. The memory just now seemed to have an unreal feeling, and I vaguely felt that the person was Sima Qinglian, but it didn't seem to be.
I was so frightened that I sat for a while before I remembered to follow up and see what was going on. After entering the house, I kicked a fat buttocks, I shook the fat man in the dark, and asked him, "Where is Sima Qinglian?" Have you seen Sima Qinglian go out? The fat man said in a daze: "Who, I just fell asleep, you can find a smoke." After saying that, he turned over and fell asleep again.
"Damn, you're just looking for a draw." I cursed hatefully, and went out to stand in front of the tent and blow the wind so that my head would clear up.
It was a hallucination, I told myself, but it wasn't a hallucination! I shook my head and looked at the cemetery opposite, only to see that the wind was blowing and the grass was low, the clouds were open and the moon was bright, and the surroundings were lonely and quiet, only the chirping of summer insects was endless.
On the second day, we all went out to the well in the ravine. There was yesterday's shooting of pheasants, and the blind man was not prepared to let anyone stay, and there was no point in staying there during the day.
Looking at this well during the day, there is another mysterious and gloomy taste. Soon after the sun rose, it came through the canopy of the trees on the hillside and shone on the wellhead, and the water vapor was dense and reflected in the colorful brilliance. The reels of the well shelf are very old, the wood is jet black, I can't see any material, but it is also strong and durable. There are several bluestones along the edge of the well, which serve as both a sign and a railing, and the surface of the stone is extremely smooth, and there are several deep marks on it that have been strangled by the rope for many years.
Ergou used a short-handled hammer to nail an iron chisel into the crack of the stone, installed a rope and a descending figure-of-eight ring, fixed two points on his body, put on a lock and a safety sling, put a miner's lamp on his head, and inserted a fuel rod and a short knife in his belt. The blind man grabbed the rope and said, "Don't go into the unknown hole if you find it, and come up immediately if you are in danger." Ergou nodded and cautiously climbed to the bottom of the well.
The well is actually not deep, the water surface is about 20 meters above the ground, but from above with a strong flashlight to shine down, the light is not far away, it is estimated that the space below is relatively large, plus there is fog, the light absorption is very strong, and it is not clear to see.
The wall of the well is concave inward, the two dogs go down from the top, if it goes straight down to the end, it is also easy, but if you want to observe the mystery of the well wall, it is not very good to get started, every few meters, you have to find the support point to work, this is a technical job. If the miner's lamp can shine on the opposite side, it's fine, if it can't, then you have to change the side and try again.
Fortunately, looking at the appearance of the second dog, the progress is quite smooth. At first, we could use a strong flashlight to help light it up, but gradually, as he went deeper and deeper, we could only see a little light, which kept shaking there.
After more than ten minutes, the light below seemed to dim for a while, and then a strong light lit up, it should be that the fuel rod was ignited by Ergou, and held in his hand, shaking constantly. This is a pre-agreed signal, the fate of the fuel rod is to find that there is a guessed hole in the well, throw it in to light it to facilitate the observation of the internal situation, but now the situation seems to be a little different, the rhythm of the two dogs shaking the fuel rod is a little urgent, not like a signal, but like driving something.
The blind man immediately made a decision and said, "Pull him up." "The rope was worn in the pulley fixed to the iron drill, and in order to prevent the strength from being insufficient, an anti-skid ring was wrapped around the wooden post of the derrick, and due to the limited depth of the well, the length was only estimated to be more than 50 meters, and it was tied to death on the derrick. The fat man and Xiao Fang grabbed it, grabbed the rope behind the pulley, and pulled it up vigorously.
At this time, an accident happened, the fuel rods in the well fell straight down, the rope in the fat man's hand was pulled by a huge force, and he fell sharply, and then, in a piercing "squeak" sound, the derrick collapsed, and the whole rope fell into the well with the iron drill and the loose wood, and disappeared.
Everyone was stunned by this accident, stunned, the blind man rushed to the edge of the well, and used a strong flashlight to shine down, but everything was in vain, and nothing could be seen below.
After a long time, Xiao Fang said with a guilty face: "It stands to reason that a person's weight does not have such a great strength, and to cause this situation, it will take at least a few tons of tensile force." ā
The fat man whispered to me: "There is something in the water, it is estimated that the size is huge, and the strength can catch up with the crane, my good girl, the fate of the second dog is not good." ā
Then everyone fell silent in uneasiness, and looked at the blind man together, waiting for him to make the next decision.
Ergou is the right-hand man of the blind man, they are nominally masters and apprentices, in fact, they are like father and son, and now the two dogs have an accident, it is estimated that there are many bad lucks, and the blind man's heart should be uncomfortable. After all, the blind man is an old man, he has walked through three passes and six docks, and his psychological quality is very strong, he turned his head and asked Old Man Sun: "How long does it take to dig a hole from above?" ā
Old man Sun pondered for a while and said, "This is not realistic, I look at the appearance of the wellhead, there are rocks from a few meters underground, and when it is dug down, it is possible for ten days and a half months." ā
"We don't have that much time, let alone ten days, not for half a day, Xiao Fang, go get spare equipment and come over, I'll go down to save Ergou."
Old man Sun said: "Jin Sheng, don't be impulsive, you are a surveyor, and you are not a captain who touches Jin, you are not good at going down to do things." I look at this, hang some live animal down first, and then go down when there is no movement. ā
The blind man thought for a moment and said, "All right." ā
Everyone hurriedly found ropes and other spare tools, but they couldn't find live animals for a while, and then Xiao Fang opened a few canned meat, tied them to ropes and hung them.
