The Last Fox Spirit

  Hearing the final decision of the thick-eyebrowed man, my nerves were instantly highly tense. Although my hatred had reached its peak, at this moment it was a matter of my life, and I completely collapsed!

  I hate myself for not being as fearless of death as Wen Tianxiang, I hate myself for lacking backbone, hating myself for not being stronger, but at that moment I thought of my bedridden mother and my younger sister Ah Xue who was still in junior high school, I really did beg for mercy.

  "Wait a minute, you all wait a minute! Let me get in touch with Zhang Guohua and tell him I'm willing to discuss the 500,000 yuan compensation..."

  But before I could finish speaking, my mouth was forcibly covered, and then I felt someone lift up my hands and feet, carrying me horizontally for about five or six meters.

  That was the most terrifying and resentful moment in my life, I desperately resisted, but facing so many hands, it was so helpless. I knew they were going to throw me into the well, drown me to death, but I could only be held by them, watching that old well with moss and weeds growing on its edge getting closer and closer...

  Then I saw a bald-headed man in black clothes move away the well cover, and I was lifted up to the top of the well mouth, my body facing downwards. I could even feel the cold air from the bottom of the well creeping out, making my skin shiver all over.

  A man with thick eyebrows pinched my neck, pressing my head against the wellhead with all his might. I wouldn't give in so easily, if I fell into this well, I would be done for. My two legs exerted force, wanting to kick away the person holding onto my feet, but that person actually entwined my two feet together like tying a knot, causing my body to convulse.

  "Get down quickly." I clearly heard the rough voice of the thick-eyebrowed man, and then my head was suddenly pressed down by someone, pressed into a narrow, dark and cold tunnel. I knew I had been pressed to the bottom of the well.

  Then...

  Then there was nothing afterwards, every imaginable scene, I was stuffed head down and feet up into the well by a group of men with thick eyebrows.

  When my body was completely stuffed in, the man holding my foot suddenly let go, and I panicked and shouted, my body rapidly falling down...

  Now that I think about it, the well was probably around 10 meters deep. You can imagine what would happen if someone fell in headfirst from that height. At the time, my heart almost jumped out of my throat. The dark bottom of the well rapidly expanded in my field of vision, and then I felt my head heavily hitting the water. An indescribable pain came from the top of my head, and I felt like my skull was shattered. My vision went black for a moment, as if I had lost consciousness for an instant. When I came to, I realized that my whole body had sunk into the water. Scared, I instinctively used my hands to splash water, but soon discovered that my feet were stuck in the mud.

  The well water isn't as deep as I am tall! It only reaches up to my chest.

  I suddenly realized this point.

  What made me even more surprised was that, I don't know if it's a coincidence or not, my hand accidentally touched the damp and smooth well wall while struggling, but I suddenly found that my hand seemed to have grabbed onto an opening of a crack. The hole was at the junction of the well wall and the water surface, with half exposed above the water and half below. Moreover, I felt that the size of this crack seemed to be large enough for a person to crawl in!

  At that time, I was so desperate that I held my breath and quickly crouched down, putting my head into the water, pretending to sink, hiding my body underwater, making people above the well think I had drowned.

  I can hold my breath underwater for about half a minute or so. In this half-minute, it's the most torturous moment for me.

  "Hey, little girl, are you dead or what?" I heard the voices of those people coming from above the well, but I remained silent, keeping my head buried at the bottom of the well, holding my breath.

  "Has the sound stopped? Won't it have sunk down? Is this well so deep?"

  "Cover the well."

  After shouting for about ten seconds, those people muttered something and then I heard the sound of a metal well cover being heavily covered from above my head. The entire bottom of the well became pitch black, without a single thread of light.

  I waited until the sound of the well cover was heard before I poked my head out of the water, but as soon as my head poked out of the water, the well cover was opened again, and several heads appeared on the surface!

  "You're quite clever, aren't you? Hiding underwater and holding your breath to pretend to be dead?" The person on the well said with a somewhat triumphant smile. I realized at that moment that things were not going well, but it was already too late.

  The men with thick eyebrows actually took bricks and stones from who-knows-where and threw them down into the well!

  Bang!

  A sharp pain shot through my forehead, a brick had smashed into my head, a crisp sound, the pain was so intense that my teeth were chattering, I didn't even have time to cover the wound before more stones came down like hail, hitting my shoulders and chest, I felt like my bones were about to shatter.

  One brick after another hit me on the head and body, I knew that today was completely over for me.

  I'm going to die in this well.

  My two sisters appeared in my mind, as well as my mother who had been bedridden for years. My nose turned sour and tears finally flowed out!

  I want to kill someone.

  I want to go up and kill them!

  I have never thought of killing someone in my entire life!

  Covering my wound, with my last breath, I roared at the well mouth:

  "Either you kill me! If I can climb out of this well one day, I will make all of you die at my hands!!"

  What I didn't expect was that what I had shouted out in a moment of anger would actually become reality not long after...

  "Still got a big mouth? Looks like your crow's mouth hasn't been smashed yet?" After my angry roar, I heard Inoue's teasing and arrogant voice again. When one has the power to control others' lives, they will inevitably develop an endless desire to play with others' lives.

  I crouched down at the bottom of the well with my hands clasped around my head, but the stones kept falling down with a loud clatter. I didn't know how many more bricks I could withstand - twenty or thirty? I knew that eventually one would fall and shatter my skull, killing me instantly.

  What I hate is that I don't have the ability to avenge my sister Yanyan, what I miss is my little sister Xiaoxue who is still in junior high school at home. My family is very poor, and I usually rely on part-time jobs to support my family's expenses. If I die, how will my sister survive?

  I crouched against the well wall, in a position that was relatively less likely to be hit, but probably because this well was too old, when my back touched the moss-covered well wall for a moment, I suddenly felt that a large piece of the concrete wall on the well wall had collapsed inward, revealing a crevice-like hole.

  The well wall suddenly collapsed, which surprised me very much. At that time, my body was close to the well wall, and my back could feel that the crack on the well wall was very large, very deep, and extended all the way down below the water surface.

  The well wall suddenly collapsed, and a mouth appeared unexpectedly. However, I realized at the first time that this hole was probably not formed naturally, but artificially. The bricks falling from my head made me involuntarily drill my body into the water, and then drilled into the crack in the water.
