Chapter 354: The Monster in the Ancient Well

In the evening, all of us, except for the Japanese scholar Watanaka, all of us, including my cousin and the madman Roku, prepared to visit the strange ancient well.

The retreat center is also in the second half of our county, not too far from the "medicinal herb trading street", but it is very secluded, and most of the people living there are retired old cadres, which is a living area mainly for the elderly.

The location of this dry retreat is the original ancestral home of the madman six, and the madman six often goes there for a walk, so he is very familiar with it.

Because the distance from the hotel is not too far, a few of us did not drive, and walked for about half an hour to the dry rest house.

At this time, it was already the beginning of the lanterns, and on the boulevard outside the dry rest house, there were elderly people walking in twos and threes.

When we followed Madman Six in, we found that the courtyard of this dry rest house was very large, with an area of at least dozens of acres, but the buildings in the courtyard were very dilapidated.

Not only is the building very dilapidated, but the layout of the building seems to be very messy, not the kind that is due south and north, but it is distributed in a messy manner, so as soon as we enter, we turn a little and can't distinguish between the southeast and the northwest.

The madman explained as he walked that the terrain in this house is not very flat, because it is very close to the mountain behind it, which is an extension of the mountain, so when the building was built, it was planned according to the specific terrain, so the layout of the building was significantly messy.

In this way, we followed the madman six and kept turning around in the messy building, and walked for a long time before we came to the back of this courtyard, and outside the wall, there was a majestic mountain.

I don't know how to get it, there is a street lamp here, and it is not very bright, probably because it is too remote, so it seems that few people usually come, overgrown with weeds, and there is a faint musty smell.

Luckily, when we came, Maniac Six specially asked us to bring a few flashlights.

Crazy Man Six suddenly stopped, sighed long, and said with emotion: "Hey, every time I come here, I will see things and think about people, decades ago, our family was next to this well, spent a great disaster, I was a child and often played next to this ancient well, who would have thought that decades later, things are not people, except for me, all the people at that time, are no longer alive, hey......."

Listening to the emotion of the madman six, I also have a sour feeling in my heart.

Madman Six calmed down for a moment, took us a few meters into the weeds, and then shone a flashlight at the mouth of a stone well and said, "Look, this is the ancient well I said."

A few of us immediately gathered around, and several flashlights shone on the wellhead at the same time.

This well does not look special, like the wells that are common in our area, the mouth of the well is a stone well, half a meter high, and the top is already moss-stained.

On the fence of this well, a large stone slab was covered, covering the entire wellhead.

I walked over and grabbed the edge of the slate with my hand, trying to grind it open, but the slab didn't move, and I used all my strength to feed, and it seemed that the slab was heavy enough.

Xiao Lei also hurried over to help, the two of us shouted the number, and worked hard, but the slate still didn't move, which is strange: even if this slate is heavy, the volume is only a few hundred catties, even if we can't move it completely, but at least we can move it a little, why is it still not moving?

The female translator, the two Japanese women, as well as Hongmei and Sister Li, all came over to help, I also took a deep breath, and when I wanted to move it again, Xiao Lei suddenly said: "Wait, wait a minute."

Hearing Xiao Lei suddenly shout to stop, we were all stunned, and we didn't know what Xiao Lei was going to do, so we all stopped and looked at Xiao Lei.

I saw him take a flashlight, carefully observe the stone, and pick up a small stone from the ground, and use the stone to make a few strokes on the stone slab, so that as if he had found something, he took out the key ring casually, and then approached the stone slab, when the key ring was close to the stone slab, something unexpected happened: the key ring was sucked onto the stone slab at once-it turned out that the stone slab was a magnet, and the magnetic force was extremely strong.

We understood at once: this well enclosure is not an ordinary stone, but a magnet. It must be a polar aspiration, which produces a huge magnetic force, no wonder we can't move?

Sure enough, all of us pushed hard again, but the stone slab on the manhole cover still didn't move. Just when we didn't know what to do, we suddenly saw my cousin pick up some dry grass and dead branches from the surroundings, pile them on the stone slabs, and light them with a lighter. Seeing him do this, we suddenly realized -- why didn't we think of this?

The magnetic force of the magnet will greatly weaken or disappear completely at high temperatures, so of course, roasting it with fire is a very effective trick, so we hurriedly collected dead branches and hay nearby, and threw them on the lit fire.

In this way, it was roasted for more than 20 minutes, and then my cousin used soil to bury the fire on the slate, and then, Xiao Lei kicked the edge of the slate with one foot, and with a strong force, the slate was easily ground away from the well, and fell to the ground next to it with a bang, it seems that my cousin's trick really worked.

Madman Six was the first to step forward and shine his flashlight into the well.

We all wanted to hurry up and have a look, because according to Maniac Six, this ancient well was weird enough, and the weird old man was still haunted here.

But before we could get past it, something unexpected happened - suddenly, there was an eerie laugh from the well, and we were all startled: there was still someone in this well?!

At this time, before we could react, something suddenly jumped out of the well, this thing was extremely fast, and before we could see it clearly, it suddenly disappeared into the grass, and all of us didn't react - except for Xiao Lei.

At every critical moment, Xiao Lei's reaction speed is indeed very human, and when we were still stunned, he had already reacted quickly and shone that thing with a flashlight.

Although I didn't see it too clearly, under the light of Xiao Lei's flashlight, I still vaguely saw the general appearance of that thing, and that was simply terrible - the head and face of that thing looked like a human, but the body looked like a weasel, or more like a big frog, but the body color was not green, but very much like human skin, smooth, and there was no fur on the whole body!

I felt my scalp tingling, my hair stood on end, I stood there in a daze, a little frightened, not only me, Xiao Lei also stood there in a daze, his face full of shock and fear, needless to say, he should see that strange thing more clearly than me.

Maybe because of the different angles, distances, etc., the other people didn't seem to see too clearly, although the female translator was also startled by the thing that jumped out, but as soon as she came to her senses, she quickly asked: "It seems to be some kind of animal that came out, but the speed is so fast, I can't even see what it is."

"It's a monster, the appearance of a human-headed beast body", Xiao Lei's psychological adjustment ability is very strong, and he has now completely recovered his calm.

Not only the female translator, but everyone was stunned after listening to Xiao Lei's words.

"That thing may have been developed by a freak, just like that monster with a sheep-faced human body, and its body is very deformed, but I may be too old, and my eyes are dizzy, and I haven't seen anything else, only a flash of black shadows", my cousin didn't see it clearly.

At this time, except for Xiao Lei, no one dared to approach the wellhead anymore, and even the madman six hurriedly took a few steps back, with a frightened face.

This ancient well is really weird.

At this time, Xiao Lei picked up a stone from the ground and threw it into the well, followed by the sound of the stone falling into the water, which showed that this ancient well was not a dry well, and there was still water in it.

After Xiao Lei made this kind of temptation, as if he thought of something, he used a flashlight to find the mouth of the well, as well as the stone next to it, and said thoughtfully: "It seems that the monster that just jumped out is living in the water, you see, the water on this stone is left after it jumped out." ”

"Is this still an amphibian?" Hongmei's eyebrows were furrowed, as if she had realized something.

"Maybe, do you remember the story I told, that is, the story of two freaks in Europe, one of the freaks died, and the other was adopted by the doctor, one day, the freak was playing in the courtyard, accidentally fell into the well in the hospital, the doctor thought that the freak drowned like this, but what I didn't expect was that a few months later, the freak was still alive, and basically developed into a human form."

"Do you mean that the monster that popped up just now might be of the same type as those two freaks in Europe?" Sister Li couldn't help but ask rhetorically when she heard Xiao Lei say this.

The cousin next to him nodded and said approvingly: "I think Xiao Lei's speculation is a bit reasonable, remember?" The last time you fought with the tall blind man in the cave, you found that he was not only extremely fast, but also able to breathe during the fight, and these characteristics are very consistent with that European freak, so we can make a hypothesis that the tall blind man is also a freak, but later developed into a normal person, and when the tall blind man picked him up on the side of the road, he may have developed into a normal baby, and we have discussed this hypothesis before, but judging from the increasing number of events, this hypothesis is probably true. And the monster that came out of the well may be the offspring of the tall blind man, and this offspring may have inherited some of the characteristics of the tall blind man."

Or is my cousin far-sighted and comprehensive.

We had to talk, which confused the female translator and the madman six, because they didn't know the ins and outs, so of course they didn't know what we were talking about, but in this particular case, they didn't have time to go into detail with them.

I was just about to say something, suddenly, Xiao Lei shouted, and flew up at lightning speed, we didn't see what was going on, only heard a scream, and a black thing fell heavily into the grass.

Immediately after, we rushed over with Xiao Lei, but when we pushed through the grass, we didn't find anything.

It turned out that the strange thing just now, after jumping out of the well, did not escape, but secretly hid in the grass, ready to wait for an opportunity to attack us, fortunately we have a master like Xiao Lei, so it did not let its attack succeed.
