Chapter 243 Ancient Well
Chapter 243: Ancient Well
After leaving the village chief's house, the awkward and weird feeling in Bai Yan's conscience disappeared.
He kept this strange feeling of not being able to figure it out in his heart. There must be something that he failed to discover...
"Let's go faster."
Being stared at by the old people in the surrounding houses, Jiang Li got goosebumps all over her body. She couldn't wait to leave the center of the village and go to the back of the village.
The three of them followed her memory and soon arrived at the back of the village.
"It should be... right here." Jiang Li stopped and pointed outside, "Lu Guo and I were standing on that hillside at that time."
Bai Yanliang looked along Jiang Li's finger. It was a hillside rather than a small soil slope, but it did have a certain height and could overlook this area.
However, as for this area...
The three of them looked around.
We are almost at the end of the village, and the surrounding houses are not densely packed. There are more empty houses that are no longer occupied than at the entrance of the village.
This land is also very empty. If there is anything, there is only a well not far away.
The three of them looked towards the well at the same time.
The edge of the well is not high and is made of variegated stones. The stones do not appear to have been polished by stonemasons. There are many uneven places, but the sharp edges and corners have been polished. It is obvious that the well has been used. Quite a few years.
But at this moment, there are overgrown weeds next to the wellhead, and it doesn't look like there are any signs of use.
This is an ancient well that has been used for many years but has been abandoned in recent years.
Although the wellhead was not sealed, the buckets and hemp ropes set up above were already covered with spider webs.
Gujing...
This image is often used in some very strange places.
So when the three of them saw the well, their nerves immediately became tense.
"Want to... go over and have a look?"
Jiang Li licked his lips that were dry due to nervousness and asked in a low voice.
Bai Yanliang nodded. He had already reached this step and had no reason to retreat.
He concentrated his attention and slowly approached the ancient well.
Bai Yanliang's steps are very slow, and each step is taken first and then firmly, so that he can react as quickly as possible when a situation arises.
Jiang Li and Yu Wenxuan also followed Bai Yanliang, and the air around them seemed to become much more tense.
The cold breath gradually stuck to the skin of the three people as they got closer and closer to the ancient well.
This coldness suddenly reached its peak when it was only two meters away from the wellhead!
Bai Yanliang, who was slightly ahead of Yu Wenxuan and Jiang Li by half a body, felt the change immediately.
The terrible chill invaded his skin, flesh, and bone marrow...
His vision quickly went dark, and the scene in front of him immediately changed!
The ancient village...
There is a white mourning dress hanging at the door of every house...
Suddenly...a strange wind blew by, and the corners of the white mourning clothes hanging at the door of every house were dyed with a touch of red...
The wind became stronger and stronger, and the mourning clothes fluttered crazily in the wind, and this strange red color spread rapidly like crazy, until... the white turned into blood, and the mourning clothes turned into shrouds.
At this time, a baby cried.
Something... was born.
Bai Yanliang "saw" a small twisted arm stretched out from the blood-red swaddling clothes.
There were densely packed villagers around, and Bai Yanliang seemed to be one of them at this moment.
He looked towards the newborn wrapped in red swaddling clothes, and soon... he saw its face...
It's better to say it's a baby... it's a deformed monster.
Its body is as red as a newborn baby, but its head has many faces...
Dense face!
Although these faces are very small and only have outlines, you can already see the twisted, painful and desperate expressions on each face...
Soon, this deformed and terrifying monster was thrown away by the noisy crowd.
The person holding it seemed reluctant, but more and more people came to fight for it. A hand...
Two hands...
Three hands...
Countless hands reached for the blood-red swaddling clothes.
Then, someone's hand slipped, and the blood-red baby fell into the well, and there was a "plop" sound.
The scene stopped abruptly.
Bai Yanliang suddenly stretched out his hand to stop Jiang Li and Yu Wenxuan from advancing.
"The death scene reappears, don't come closer."
Bai Yanliang said calmly.
Jiang Li and Yu Wenxuan's hearts tightened. Bai Yanliang's body stiffened just now. It turned out...did he see a strange death scene?
Phew...
Bai Yanliang let out a breath. The scene he saw just now was so depressing that it made people breathless.
Judging from the positions of Jiang Li and Yu Wenxuan, the time he experienced was probably less than a second in reality.
Bai Yanliang stood by the ancient well and did not move for a long time.
"I want to go down."
After a long time, he spoke.
Go down, where to go...
Jiang Li's eyes widened and he immediately vetoed: "No! Absolutely not! A similar situation happened in Wuji once. A senior went down into the well and never came up again..."
She looked at Bai Yanliang eagerly: "Mr. Bai, I know you are very powerful, but you are only flesh and blood after all. We...can't make a wrong step."
Bai Yanliang knew that Jiang Li was doing it for his own good, but now... it had reached the most critical moment.
He looked at the mouth of the well quietly and said: "The moon is hidden in the mountains, and the coffins are fished out from the bottom of the water. Before entering the village, our bodies floated upstream. Guided by our mindset, we could easily conclude that there were corpses at the bottom of the river. There is a corpse, so we have to fish it out in the river.”
Jiang Li nodded subconsciously. Although she didn't say it, she did guess this. The river at the entrance of the village was too strange... The explanation also reminded people of fishing for coffins from the bottom of the water, so it was not unreasonable to draw this conclusion.
"But what I just saw is that there is also a coffin in this well."
Bai Yanliang's voice was calm, as if he was not the one who asked to go down the well.
"A blood-red swaddling clothes is both a bed for newborns and a coffin for death. A young corpse was buried in the water."
Having said this, the two of them understood.
Now that it is confirmed that there is a body in this well, sooner or later we have to go in to confirm.
If the body is recovered successfully, then this mission...maybe it will be over immediately.
On the other side, Bai Yanliang had already taken off the hemp rope at the mouth of the well, wrapped one end around his waist, and threw the other end to Yu Wenxuan and the others.
"If it shakes three times in a row, pull me up immediately."
"Yeah." Yu Wenxuan didn't say anything teasing or sarcastic this time, but simply said one word.
Jiang Li looked at Bai Yanliang worriedly, and at the same time she was confused.
Is Bai Yanliang so kind?
It's not his responsibility to go down into the well, so why would he take the initiative to go down?
Shouldn't this kind of thing be decided through discussion by everyone?
She couldn't come to a conclusion and could only attribute everything to Bai Yanliang being indeed a good person.
At this time, Bai Yanliang was already standing by the well, sticking his head out and looking down.
A cold breath rushed up to him, stimulating every pore in Bai Yanliang's body.
There must be something very... very scary under this well, but Bai Yanliang had a reason to go down.
He took a rare deep breath and looked back at the two of them.
"Gone."
The background collapsed again, it’s been circulating for a long time...
