Chapter 14: The Old Well
Watching a few 'heavily armed' nurses rush into the ward, Sun Tuzi turned around and wiped the sweat from his head: "I'm still overestimating myself, it's so scary." ”
My heart was pounding until I went downstairs, and my legs were still a little shaky.
When I got in the car, Sun Lu asked me where I had gone.
I looked at the time, and decided to go to Gu Shepherd.
The last time I came, Gu Yangqi asked me to come to him again, saying that I had something to say to me, but I didn't take it to heart after that, and I forgot about it after a long time.
He is now discharged from the hospital, and he asked Zang Zhiqiang to bring me a message, it seems that there is really something important to tell me.
Looking at the backward scenery outside the window, I had an indescribable feeling in my heart.
Lao He 'came back', and Gu Yangsheer also took the initiative to find me......
These old guys who used to be mysterious and secretive have all opened their golden mouths.
But how can I feel that instead of getting out of the maze, I am sinking deeper and deeper......
When I came to Gu Yangshe's house in Linxian County with my memory, it was already evening.
Sun Lu stepped forward and knocked on the door, and as soon as he slapped it twice, the courtyard door opened a crack.
Sun Lu glanced at me and probed in: "Is there anyone?" ”
After shouting a few times, but not hearing a response, Sun Lu turned his head, "It seems that there is no one, and the lights are not turned on in the house." ”
I thought about it, pushed the door open and walked in.
The yard has not changed much from the last time, but the bonsai on one side is a little crazy, and it should have not been pruned for a long time.
It was already dark, all the houses were not lit, and the doors were closed.
Sun Lu said: "This family shouldn't go out for a walk after eating, otherwise they can't lock the door." ”
I nodded, "It's all here, so wait a minute." ”
As soon as he finished speaking, he heard a muffled thunder explode in the sky, followed by a crackling rain.
The two hurriedly took three steps and two steps, and ran to the side under the eaves to take shelter from the rain.
The rain seemed to have been held back for a day, and when it came down, it was like a scoop, and in an instant the stagnant water in the yard that had not had time to flow gathered into a small river.
Fortunately, the summer rain came and went quickly, and after about ten minutes, it became dripping.
After waiting for a while, Sun Tuzi became a little frizzy, and said that depending on the sky, it will rain heavily in a while, and if you go for a walk, you should come back at this time, maybe why did you go.
I looked at my watch, hesitated, and said let's go back.
I don't have a bad feeling for Gu Yangherd, but I don't have a good impression either. If it weren't for his irresponsible words at the beginning, I wouldn't have become a wild child without a father and a mother.
He might have something to say to me, but I don't think it has much to do with me, so I can't afford to waste time here.
The two were just about to go out, when Sun Lu suddenly let out a "huh" and stopped.
"What's wrong?"
Sun Lu turned his head and looked left and right, and asked me:
"Did you hear the voice?"
"Nope."
I thought about going directly to Lao He to ask about Xu Jie's situation just now, but I didn't notice any noise.
Sun Lu said that it was probably that he had misheard.
At this time, there was suddenly another thunder in the sky, and seeing that it was going to rain again, the two of them ran out in a hurry.
But this time I didn't run two steps, and I heard a voice behind me:
"Help...... Let me out......"
I slammed and turned my face to look at Sun Lu.
He also stopped, also looking puzzled, apparently hearing the same voice calling for help.
"Someone called for help!" Sun Lu said.
"Yes, I heard it too, it looks like a child."
I could tell it was a child's cry for help, but it was a little muffled, as if it had been blocked from a long distance.
"There won't be any kids in the house, will they?" Sun Lu said as he began to look from room to room through the window.
"Let me out...... Let me out...... I'm going home......"
When I heard that voice again, I couldn't help but feel a thrill all over my body, and subconsciously looked at the corner of the courtyard.
Sun Lu also walked back, looked in the same direction as me, and said in an uncertain tone:
"The sound seems to come from that well, there must be no children under the well, right?"
I was startled by his words, and hurriedly walked over to it.
The last time I came to Gu Shepherd's house, I was most impressed by the bonsai in the courtyard and the well in the corner.
It is a very quaint old well, and the hexagonal stone well platform is covered with green moss, which seems to record the passage of time.
However, I remember this well very well, not because it is ancient, but because there is a bluestone the size of a millstone pressed on the well.
When I came to the well and saw the situation clearly, Sun Lu and I looked at each other, both a little confused.
The big bluestone should be larger than the wellhead, pressed on it, and the well was tightly blocked.
Looking at the traces, this well should have been blocked for some years, and there are no traces of it being newly opened, how can there be the sound of children under the well?
Besides, even if someone is really in the well, the mouth of the well is blocked by a big bluestone, and the sound can't be heard.
Just when Sun Tuzi and I were stunned, the child's voice came again:
"Let me out! Let me out! ”
This time, Sun Tuzi was obviously frightened, and looked at me in disbelief: "It's really coming from below!" Damn, is this a human or a monkey? ”
I was stunned for a long time before I swallowed, "If you want to know what, just move the stone away." ”
It's not that I'm curious, it's that this situation is too unbelievable.
Listening to the sound, it is clear that there are people in the well, but if the boulder blocking the mouth of the well has not been moved all year round, how do people get in?
Sun Lu and I both had the temper of doing what we said, so we turned our backs at the moment, half-squatted down, and gritted our teeth together with our backs against the big bluestone.
I muttered to myself as I strained.
This stone is at least 1,800 catties, and it is by no means easy to move, not to mention that as far as I know, Gu Yangyi's family is the only one who lives with him and his apprentice Xiao Lei.
Sun Tuzi and I used our strength to barely move the big bluestone, and the old and the young alone had no way to move or block the stone.
"One, two, three, work hard...... One, two, three......"
The two of them blushed and their necks were thick, and the bluestone was finally offset by the top, revealing a palm-sized crack in the wellhead.
While Sun Lu was panting, I took out my mobile phone and turned on the flashlight to shine it in.
Before I could see the situation at the bottom of the well, my eyebrows had already twisted into pimples.
The dusty aura that came out of the cracks was too strong, and if it had been opened recently, it would never have such a strong smell.
The key is that with this kind of air quality underground, normal people can't stay for ten minutes, and they have to be suffocated to death.
The beam shone through the gap, but it was still impossible to see the depths.
"Who's in there?"
I tried shouting down, but no one answered.
I raised my head to look at Sun Lu, and there was a look of surprise in each other's eyes.
I could hear it clearly, and I shouted out at a loud voice, and my voice sank straight down as if it had substance, without even the slightest echo.
Sun Lu reluctantly swallowed his saliva, and said in a suppressed voice:
"This well has no bottom!"
"Hell, do you really think there's a bottomless pit?"
I put away my phone, rubbed my nose, gritted my teeth and said, "Anyway, it's not bad for strength, just get rid of the stone completely and see what's going on down there." ”
Sun Lu's curiosity couldn't be suppressed for a long time, and the two of them spent a lot of effort again, and they pushed the big bluestone down from the well platform.
I was just recovering from my injury, and this toss, my face was covered with sweat, and I stood in place panting roughly, and my body was shaking.
Sun Lu was a little stronger than me, gasping for breath, and took out his mobile phone to look into the well.
He wanted to turn on the flash, but when he poked his finger on the screen and lowered his head to the mouth of the well, the man seemed to freeze suddenly.
"What's going on?" I felt something was wrong and hurriedly walked to the well.
When I looked down, I was stunned.
"Woe, do you see it?" Sun Lu's voice was as if it had been filed with a file, and it was jerky, "What is that light?" ”
I subconsciously shook my head, but I couldn't squeeze out a word.
At this time, the wellhead was completely exposed, and Sun Tuzi and I had not yet turned on the flashlights, but in the depths of the well, there was a colorful light.
There are many colors of the light cluster, and it looks very dazzling and blurry, a bit like a rainbow that has been crumpled together, and it is like a light and shadow formed by the convergence of colorful lights.
What is unbelievable is that the light cluster does not seem to be far away from us, but it is clear that the light is shining, but I can't see the situation outside the light cluster and the underground ground.
"It's really evil!"
Sun Lu swiped the screen of his mobile phone as he spoke, and turned on the flashlight.
A white beam of light shone into the well, but the light suddenly disappeared.
However, the wall of the well seems to be able to absorb light, and the bright white beam can only shine at a distance of more than two meters from the wellhead, and further down is a foggy cloud, and there is no bottom in sight.
"Hey, ......"
Sun Lu just wanted to say something, but suddenly, his hand trembled, and the phone fell off.
I hurriedly reached out to copy it, but my left hand was still not as dexterous as my right hand, but the edge of my palm touched the phone, but I couldn't catch it.
The mobile phone, which was swept by my palm, hit the wall of the well, made a "pop" sound, and still fell.
I didn't pity the phone, I just stared into the well with wide eyes.
As the phone fell, the flash illuminated the situation below.
Obediently, why is this well so deep?
Just as my back was tightening, suddenly, the falling light shone on a small figure.
Before I could see the general appearance of the figure, I heard a "poof", and the phone seemed to have fallen into the water.
Perhaps the underground water veins have long been diverted, and the ancient well is close to drying up, and although there is water underneath, it is obviously shallow.
So much so that although Sun Tuzi's mobile phone fell into the water, the flash still barely illuminated the bottom of the well through the water.
Through the vague and tortuous light, I saw that the figure just now was actually a child!
The child seemed to have a bare buttocks, and stood there with his head bowed, his head moving from time to time, as if he was very curious about the light under the water.
At this time, there was the sound of Sun Tuzi stumbling in his ears.
I didn't hear what he was saying, because at the very moment he spoke, the boy in the well suddenly raised his head......
