Chapter 102: Going Down the Well

"Something wrong down the well?" Hearing me say this, not only Meng Chao's eyes widened, but Su Man also blurted out in surprise: "What's the problem?" Could it be this water......" she said, quickly spitting out the water in her mouth.

"No, no," I replied, "it's not about water. ”

"What's the problem then?" Suman was still asking.

I shook my head, "I don't know the specifics, I need to go down the well and have a look." With that, I got up and went to open the door.

Su Man shook the fire in front of him with a wooden stick, and said lightly: "If you don't have a wetsuit, I suggest you wait." ”

I couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, and then I understood what Su Man meant, there is a lot of water flowing into the well now, and I can only jump into the water if I want to go down the well.

According to the previous rule, by the time the day of tomorrow comes, the water should reced, and it will not be too late to go down the well by that time.

Thinking of this, I sat down by the fire again, and although I was a little tired, I didn't know why I didn't feel sleepy.

Su Man gave Meng Chao some more medicine, and he fell asleep after taking it. Suman crossed his legs across from me, leaning against the fire and napping. It was just me holding the gravel with half a symbol engraved in my hand in a daze.

Unconsciously, a white light came out of the crack in the door of the main hall. I got up and walked to the door, slamming it open, and it was already daylight outside. We were lucky to have a lot of wind today and the sky was full of clouds.

Suman was awakened by the light I was shining in, and she covered the light in front of her with her hand, "What time is it?" ”

"I don't know," I said, turning my attention to the location of the well in the yard.

After a moment of silence, I turned around and lay on the floor of the main hall, carefully listening to the sound of the water flowing underground. As I expected, I don't know when, the flow of water in the ground has stopped.

At this time, Meng Chao also woke up and looked up at the sunlight outside the door, "The wind has stopped?" Let's go. ”

I looked at Meng Chao and then at Su Man, "I'm sorry, I can't leave yet, I need to go to that well to have a look." ”

Meng Chao nodded, "Oh, yes, you said it yesterday." ”

Suman stood up, "Has the water receded from the well?" ”

From what I had just heard on the ground, I had already guessed the answer: "Well, I think so, I'll go over and see now." ”

"I'll go with you." Suman grabbed his backpack.

"You?" I was a little surprised by Suman's words, "You go with me?" ”

"That's right." Suman looked at me, then leaned into my ear and said, "What? Is there something good you want to glimpse us? Don't think I don't know it's a monument! Did you find something down the ground? ”

I looked at Suman in amazement, it turned out that she thought so. Looking at her expression, I knew that I couldn't get around her, and besides, in addition to the wooden box given to me by my second uncle and the hair mound mark on my neck, I only had a few changes of clothes in my backpack. The vast majority of the equipment available was in Suman's backpack. Therefore, I had no choice but to nod helplessly, "Okay, then let's go together." ”

Hearing me say this, Suman smiled at me smugly.

I just wanted to go out, Su Man picked up a wooden stick and handed it to Meng Chao, "The two of us go out to have a look, you take this and look at Wu Zhijun, if he wakes up, don't let him go." ”

Meng Chao hesitantly took the wooden stick, I could see that he was a little embarrassed, after all, they were still classmates who had a good relationship before this.

I patted Meng Chao on the shoulder, "You may not know this person, he is dangerous to you and me!" Meng Chao turned his head to look at me, still with a reluctant look on his expression.

"Well," I sighed, "I'll give you a reason to look at him, and give you some motivation." ”

Meng Chao nodded hurriedly, and I then said to him: "If you let Wu Zhijun go, you will be his fate." I'll leave you two here, I'm sure you won't get out of this desert, no one will find you. If you don't believe it, you can try it! ”

Meng Chao was already timid, but when he was frightened by me, his face turned even pale. He secretly glanced at Wu Zhijun, who was covered in blood, and nodded desperately, "Brother Zhuo, don't worry, I will definitely be able to do it, don't throw me down." ”

I tapped him on the shoulder and walked out with Suman.

We walked directly to the well, and Suman shone a flashlight into it, and sure enough, the water in the well receded again.

I took Suman's trailer rope and lowered it into the wellhead to test it, but the length of six meters was obviously still obviously insufficient. I took off my coat and tied it to the bottom of the tow rope, and Suman took off her coat and attached it again, barely reaching the bottom of the well.

I fastened the trailer rope to the wooden shed next to the well and pulled it with my hand to make sure it was strong enough.

I turned my head to look at Su Man, and I couldn't help but feel a little conflicted, and I didn't know for a moment whether I should let her go down with me. After a moment's hesitation, I told Suman, "You're waiting for me here." ”

Su Man looked at me directly, "You still don't want me to follow you?" ”

"I just don't think the situation down there is clear, and I'm worried that there will be danger." I really don't want to entangle with Su Man on this issue, "You just wait for me here, I can't run!" ”

Su Man shrugged his shoulders and showed a helpless expression, "Then you can get down." ”

I nodded, grabbed the tow rope and slid down. In fact, at the moment I went down, I was still a little worried, and I couldn't help but think about what I should do if Su Man had the intention to harm me and withdraw the tow rope. So, as I slid down, I looked at the watermark on the wall of the well, and thought to myself how likely it was that I would climb up.

The heart of defending against others is probably also one of people's instinctive reactions.

It didn't take long for me to feel my feet at the bottom of the well. The feet are a little wet and soft, and it should be the mud and sand left behind after the water recedes.

Although I can't see clearly, I can feel that the space at the bottom of the well is much larger than when I look down from the wellhead. I looked around, but I couldn't see anything.

Many years ago, I used to find the darkness unsettling and terrifying, but now I am used to being in the dark. The unknown darkness around me gave me an unbelievable sense of intimacy that I hadn't felt in a long time. I couldn't help but smile bitterly in my heart, when did I become like this!

Subconsciously, I reached out to touch my waist, but I felt a void, which was where I used to put the flashlight on the ground before.

I sighed lightly and wanted to look up and ask Su Man for her flashlight, but as soon as I looked up, I found that I don't know when, she actually climbed down.

Before I could speak, she jumped off. Turn on the flashlight and look around.

"Why did you come down too?" I had a somewhat complaining tone in my tone.
