8. Night of Horrors
Then the face of this cat ghost coincided with the face of the child in my dream, and when I saw his face, I finally understood why I felt so frightened in my dream, because although it was a child's body, it was a cat's face, and it was a cat's face that was terrifying by a machine.
My memory stayed at this scene in front of me, my thinking was interrupted at this moment, and then my memory and consciousness were completely gone.
Anyway, when I woke up again, I didn't know where I was at all when I woke up, and there was even a moment when I thought I was lying on my bed, and I just felt a chill under me, and I felt a wet feeling after my hands moved, until the memories of my coma came back to me, and I realized that I was still trapped in the well, and then the overwhelming sense of fear came to mind.
Also, I saw the light.
The light came from a candle through which I realized that I was not at the bottom of the well before I fell unconscious, but I soon realized that the bottom of the well was outside, and I was now half-leaning against the half-man-high place.
And soon I found out that there was a skeleton next to me, and one of my hands was still on its skull, and when I saw this scene, I immediately moved to the side, trying to get away from it.
At this time, the water at the bottom of the well had seeped back, almost to the calf level, and I was moving all the sound of stirring the water, that is, when I moved, I suddenly noticed that there was something outside the circle of light of the candle, that is, behind the candle.
For I seemed to see something like a rope flashing past the candle.
I fixed my eyes on the back of the candle, but I couldn't see anything, and because I was facing the candlelight, I couldn't see anything, I didn't dare to take the candle and look at it, even why this candle was lit here, I didn't dare to think, now I was the only one, so it can be seen that why this candle is lit is a terrible thing, especially a white candle, because in my impression, only funerals will use such candles.
Behind me was exactly the direction of the bottom of the well, so I slowly supported the ground with my hands and stepped back, trying to exit this place that made people feel terrifying, but when I had only taken a step or two, I saw a shadow suddenly appear behind the candle, and gradually appeared from behind the candle.
In the end, this thing did not completely reveal its full body, but it poked its body into the circle of light of the candle, and I vaguely saw a huge mouse head appear in front of my eyes, and I was so frightened that my soul was about to fly away, and the hand supporting my body suddenly became weak, and the person fell into the water a little, because this mouse head is so big as a human head, you can imagine, what a huge mouse this thing is, I am afraid that it is even bigger than my body.
Then I realized that the rope-like thing I had just seen flashed was not the rope, but its tail.
My mind was completely blank, and there was only one thought but fear, and if it pounced like this, I would be eaten by it, like the skeleton I had just touched.
I looked at it for about ten seconds, it kept looking at me motionlessly, and finally turned its head suddenly, and went backwards with a bang, I don't know where it went, but after it ran away, my fear did not disappear, after all, this kind of thing is the first time I have seen it, it is difficult to guarantee that there is no second one here, and what if a group comes out later, I quickly came to the bottom of the well, this short road I fell several times, I felt that my hands and feet were soft, and I was shaking all the time.
When I came to the bottom of the well, I saw that the cat ghost's jar was almost flooded, and the rope hanging down from the mouth of the well was still hanging here, I calmed down a little at this time, and I saw that the top of my head was also a cloud of black, and I couldn't see anything, so I could know that it was already night, and what made me wonder was that I had disappeared for so long from the day until now, why no one in my family came down to look for me, and let me fall unconscious at the bottom of the well?
But now was not the time to think about it, so I pulled the rope to make sure it was secure, and then I climbed up little by little.
I climbed up little by little, and when I climbed a section, I suddenly heard the voice at the bottom of the well calling me, but the sound was very small, like an illusion, just when I thought that it was her voice, suddenly the sound that seemed to be a dream and seemed to be real during the coma appeared, it was still Huaxiu's voice, and she said to me: "Don't tell you others about what you saw at the bottom of the well." ”
I shook my head and continued to climb up, and finally reached the well, what surprised me at that time was that the wellhead did not have a stake horizontally, but the rope was towards some place below the well, I at first thought that the family had made a pile by the well to fix the rope, but when I came out of the well, I noticed that the rope that had been pulling had fallen into the well.
The rope I was holding on to a second ago fell into it, and what was even more surprising was that there was nothing on the side of the well that could fix the rope, which made me puzzled and shocked, and I glanced at my own house, the whole house was lifeless and dark, although I didn't know the time, but from this degree of silence I could know that it should be early morning or deeper.
I walked under the eaves like a ghost crawling out of the well, and when I got to the eaves, I heard a cat meow from the top of the wall, and I looked over and saw only a cat that meowed and ran down, and I stood under the eaves and didn't know what to do, because I was wondering in my heart, and even wondering if there was anyone in my house, if there was anybody, why didn't they come to the well to look for me, and if there was no one, where did they go?
So I called out to my dad and my mom to see if there was any response, and after I shouted three times, my mom won me in the room, and my shout was obviously startling her, and she answered my voice in a panic and asked, "Wood, what's wrong with you, what's wrong with you?" ”
Then the light in the room came on, and I heard my mother almost running out, and then there was a messy footstep, and it seemed that my father was following closely, and then the door of the hall was opened, and my mother came out before she had time to turn on the light, and when she saw me standing under the eaves, she immediately came to me, grabbed me and asked, "Wood, what's wrong with you, why are you standing under the eaves in the middle of the night?" ”
I wanted to say something, but soon my dad came out, and when he came out, he should have been fine, and he was a little blind when he saw me standing under the eaves, and I remembered what Hua Xiu said to me, and I only felt a strange sense of fear slowly creeping up in my heart, because judging from my parents' reactions, I should have been in the room, that is, during the time I was unconscious, "I" was by their side.
So my memory went back to the scene at the bottom of the well, the thing that climbed up with the rope, could it be the "me" that appeared in front of my family?
Soon I was overwhelmed by my mother's voice, and she said, "Where have you been, why are you soaking wet?" ”
I took a deep breath, forced down the fear in my heart, and said to my mom, "I don't know, that's all I have since I woke up." ”
My mother immediately pulled me into the house, and then went to find clean clothes and pants for me, and in the middle of this I asked my mother, "Didn't Blind Auntie say that I couldn't sleep these days, why did I sleep today?" ”
My mom was stunned for a moment, then looked at my dad and said in disbelief, "This kid ......."
Then my dad said, "Blind Auntie said that you are fine, and there is no need to avoid this matter, so I let you sleep." ”
I pondered, could it be that Mrs. Blind didn't notice anything unusual about me being replaced, but still thought that I was fine?
