7. Things at the bottom of the well
My grandfather didn't react when he was lying on the bed, and when my grandmother saw that she didn't move, she said to me, "You go out and help your parents, and I'll take care of it." ”
I answered and came out, although I had some doubts in my heart, and I didn't continue to investigate.
When I came out, I saw that my father had already started to put a rope into the well, as if the water in the well had been pumped out, and he had built a thick and strong wooden stake on the well, and the rope was tied to the stake, and my husband had already planted incense around the well, and there was still paper money left in the ashes, and I did not see what they had done to my father.
After that, my husband told my dad to be careful when he went down, and Mrs. Blind specially told my dad: "If you feel that you don't feel good down there, come up immediately, don't be reckless." ”
My dad answered them all, and then pulled the rope and kicked the wall of the well and slowly went down.
I leaned down on the edge of the well and looked down, firstly because I was worried about my dad's safety, and secondly, I was curious about what it looked like when the water in the well was drained, but the well was very deep and dark underneath, and I couldn't see anything from above, so what was down there, whether there was a cat ghost jar, and I didn't know until my dad went down to look for it below.
The depth of the well was indeed beyond my expectations, because I couldn't see my father's figure at all, and it was too dark down there, and there was only a lot of light that could shine through, and finally I heard my father shout, "I'm the end." ”
Then I breathed a sigh of relief, my dad's voice carried a very overlapping echo, you can see how deep he went, after hearing my dad's reply, the blind aunt asked me to ask my dad what he could find below.
Just as Blind Auntie was speaking, I suddenly heard something else at the end of my dad's voice, it was not my dad's voice, and I heard as if someone was calling my name: "Wood." ”
But this voice was quickly overshadowed by the voice of the blind lady, I didn't listen to it, I just thought it was a delusion, so I didn't take it to heart, so I went to the well and told my dad about it, and soon my dad answered below, he said, "I found it, there is indeed a jar underneath." ”
Then, as if my dad had already found the jar, the blind lady went to the edge of the well, and shouted to my dad into the well, "Don't touch this jar yet, and see if there's anything around the jar." ”
Time seemed to stand still for a second, and I listened with bated breath before I heard my dad's voice coming from below: "It's just a jar." ”
When my dad said this, he quickly reversed his tone and said, "No, there's something else." ”
Then his voice stopped abruptly, and we couldn't see from above, and the blind Ah Tai asked, "What else?" ”
But I didn't hear back from my father, so I looked at Mr. Blind A-and-A, and Mr. looked at the edge of the well, and said, "The incense is out." ”
Blind Ah Tai immediately blurted out: "Let him come up." ”
When I heard it, I immediately shouted into the well, "Daddy, come up quickly." ”
But there was still no sound from my dad, so I immediately became anxious and asked, "Did my dad meet something down there?" ”
Everyone was in a hurry, and the gentleman immediately pulled the rope, which was loose, and then he said, "I'll go down and have a look." ”
But she was stopped by the blind lady, she said: "It's too late, let the wood go down." ”
After saying that, she said to me, "Go down and see what is going on, and remember not to be afraid." ”
After saying that, she asked her husband to take out a talisman and stick it on my heart, telling me to be careful and go down slowly.
So I climbed the rope and went down, and it wasn't until I went down that I realized why it took so long for my dad to go down, because it was really deep underneath, and I estimated that it was probably ten feet deep, and it was no wonder that I couldn't see what was down there.
The bottom began to get dark, and the wall of the well was a little slippery after reaching the original position of water, and I had to rely on the rope to focus on it, and the more I went down, the more I felt panicked, and I didn't know why, I looked up at the top of my head, and the wellhead only became a small circle of light, which made people feel a deep sense of oppression.
Finally, I finally came to the bottom of the well, only to see that the jar that my dad said was placed on the edge of the well wall, and my dad was also below, but I didn't know why I fainted, so I sat on the edge of the well wall, and saw my dad sitting unconscious like this, I was a little anxious, I stepped forward and patted him on the shoulder, and then touched his face, but he didn't react, I looked at the edge of the well, and found that there was only half of the well wall, and half of the black hole, there was a space half a person high, but the inside was even more black hole, and I couldn't see anything clearly, I think there's something else my dad is talking about, and that's what he should be referring to.
I shouted to the well, "My dad fainted." ”
I don't know if I can hear it from above, but soon I heard the gentleman's voice, a little small but clear, and he said, "Let's put another rope down, and with two ropes you tie your father and we'll hang him up." ”
After saying that, I threw another rope down from above, and I tied two ropes to my dad, and when I was sure that the tie was strong, I shouted to the top and said, "Okay." ”
Then they pulled up on it, and as they were pulling, I heard the blind lady say to me, "Stay down there, and don't touch anything, in case there will be any unnecessary accidents." ”
My dad hung up little by little, but after he left the bottom of the well, I was a little scared, especially in the wall of the half-human-high black hole, as if something was in it, I kept staring at it, and my heart couldn't help but beat a little faster.
As the saying goes, the more you are afraid of something, the more something will happen, and while I was staring intently inside, I suddenly heard a very clear child's laughter, eeriely, coming from inside. I almost jumped up with this laughter, and I pressed my body as close to the wall of the well as I could, away from the space of this black hole, for fear that in the next moment, something terrible would run out of it.
Just when my nerves were highly tense, I suddenly felt my hanging hand being pulled by a cold thing, and my body also leaned forward so violently that I screamed in fright, this feeling was exactly the same as the feeling I felt after seeing the paper figure that night, I looked at the hand that was pulled, the cold feeling was still there, but there was no one around me.
Then I heard someone in the black hole shouting to me, like the voice of Hua Xiu: "Wood." ”
I heard a familiar voice, my heart was a little more steady, although Hua Xiu was dead, but I had never been afraid of her, hearing her voice, I replied inside: "Sister Hua Xiu, are you in it?" ”
But then there was no sound, and then I heard the voice of the blind lady above: "Wood, are you okay down there?" ”
I heard the voice of the blind lady, so I replied, "It's a little dark down here, and I feel a little bad." ”
Then the blind lady said that they had already carried my dad up, and they threw the rope down, and I climbed up and told me to be careful. Then the rope was dropped, and I was about to pull the rope and climb up it, when I suddenly saw that the rope that had been hanging suddenly straightened by some force, and I clearly saw a pair of black toe prints under the rope.
The sudden strangeness made my scalp tingle instantly, and I wanted to shout but my throat seemed to be blocked by something, and I couldn't shout anything, just watched the rope turn black one by one, as if something was pulling the rope and climbing up little by little.
I looked at this incredible scene in front of me, I just felt as if I had been completely petrified and stood in place, I couldn't move a single bit, it felt like my legs were not my own, and then I felt that there seemed to be something around me, which was okay not to see, and when I looked over, I found that a child was standing next to me by the corner of my clothes, and was looking up and smiling at me.
