Chapter Seven The Woman Trapped in the Well

  I don't know if the people above could see me crawling into the crevice, but thinking about it later, they probably couldn't because that crevice was below the water surface. My body sank into the water and then crawled into the hole entrance. To those people, I seemed to have suddenly sunk to the bottom of the water without a sound.

  After entering the hole, I found that inside was a deep and rugged passage, I don't know if it was man-made or not, but it was very deep.

  I was panting heavily, my whole body in severe pain, and my consciousness wasn't very clear. The passageway was narrow and dark, so I could only crouch down and feel my way forward along the passage. This passage was inclined upwards at an angle, and water from the well couldn't flow in, so I slowly made my way up.

  "Was he smashed to death? It's quiet now?"

  "Could he really be dead?"

  "Hey, Xiao Lese, hurry up and come out! Boss Zhang sent a message asking us to rescue you back, come on!"

  Faintly, I could hear the sound of people talking and shouting above the well opening outside the tunnel. Hearing those voices, a strong sense of hatred rose up in my heart. Who would come to rescue me? It was obvious that it was another one of those bastard's tricks trying to lure me out of the water.

  If I go out, I will definitely be beaten to death by them.

  I walked forward with a resentful thought, and after walking for about ten meters or so, I took a slightly deeper breath. Unexpectedly, there was such a deep passage at the bottom of this well. Although it's a coincidence, maybe I really shouldn't have died yet.

  I don't know where the tunnel will lead to, but it's better than going back into the well.

  My forehead was bleeding, and I covered it with my palm as I continued walking in. My heart was racing, and I didn't know where I would end up or if there were any forks in the road ahead, but all I could do was keep walking straight.

  It's been about two minutes since I started walking, and I feel like the top of my head has suddenly disappeared. The front seems to have opened up, just like I've walked into a large underground chamber. Then I suddenly smelled a strange fragrance, which was similar to the scent of incense in a temple. However, because it's too dark underground, I couldn't see anything clearly and didn't know what was emitting that fragrance.

  My head is getting more and more painful, my shoulder blades and collarbone feel like they're broken, I'm dragging myself step by step, my hands are randomly feeling around in the hole like a blind person.

  At that time, I thought this might be a tomb or an underground secret room, thinking of the scenes of underground tombs in some grave-robbing documentaries, and my heart felt a little inexplicably cold.

  The cave was really big and very cold, I stretched out my hand, moving step by step, unable to see anything in the darkness.

  Then, very suddenly, the tip of my finger suddenly touched a soft and elastic thing, icy cold, extremely humid, but the hand feeling was somewhat like that of a woman. In short, it was almost the same thing, I was so scared that I immediately withdrew my hand.

  There is someone.

  There is someone in this cave.

  A terrifying thought flashed through my mind. I usually don't believe in gods, ghosts and monsters, a standard materialist, but the thing that touched the tip of my finger still made me terrified beyond measure.

  After holding my breath for a while, I plucked up the courage to ask:

  "Who?"

  No answer.

  There is no movement at all.

  Is it a corpse?

  Since no one answered, I became more cautious in my heart. After standing still for a few seconds, I stretched out my hand again and felt forward to see what exactly I had touched just now.

  But this model is out of control.

  I felt two round, soft and slightly elastic things, then I slowly reached down and touched a smooth area, the feeling was exactly like a woman's lower abdomen. Although I had never touched a woman's lower abdomen before, but relying on my sense of touch and imagination, I could imagine it!

  I no longer have any doubts about it now.

  In front of me, there really is a human body! And it's even a woman!

  I'm a relatively brave person, not very afraid of corpses, but when I touched the outline of the woman's body in this place, my heart was also racing with anxiety. But at the same time, I became even more certain that what was in front of me was indeed a corpse. If it wasn't a corpse, it wouldn't have been so cold.

  But how could there be a female corpse in such a dark and desolate place?

  I took two steps back, wanting to get away from the corpse. But at this moment, a sound of iron chains came from the darkness. Then I clearly heard a very hoarse, tired but slightly feminine and gentle voice that seemed to come from afar:

  "Here... I... am here..."

  It's a woman's voice.

  That's right, it was indeed a woman's voice.

  I was certain that at that moment I clearly heard a hoarse voice coming from the front, apparently it was the "female corpse" I had touched earlier. The sound scared me so much that I almost jumped up. Hearing a woman's voice in the dark and lightless underground chamber would have frightened even a living person to death.

  At that time I was really a bit flustered, after calming down, I asked:

  "Who...are you?"

  "...I am here..." The voice was still repeating this sentence, and it sounded very weak, like someone who was about to die.

  Because the other person's voice was very weak, and I thought it shouldn't be a ghost, so I let out a breath of relief and slowly took a few steps forward, returning to in front of that woman.

  "Is...that you speaking?" I asked standing up.

  "...it's me..." the weak voice said, "...I've been locked in here...for a long time..."

  I breathed a sigh of relief when I heard that she was also being held captive here. It turned out that she was also trapped in this place just like me. The question is, how did she end up getting locked in here? Does this cave have any other exits?

  As I heard this weak woman say that, I calmed down and said: "Hold on. I was also harmed by someone and thrown into the well, but I accidentally discovered this place. My name is Wang Yisheng." After introducing myself, I wanted to grab the hand of this woman standing in the darkness. But instead, my hands touched a string of cold iron chains, which seemed to be wrapped around her wrists.

  I touched the cold iron chain and was somewhat surprised.

  "Are there iron chains on your body?" I pulled the iron chain on the woman's body, but found that this iron chain was very thick. With my strength, I couldn't pull it off at all. Then, I touched the woman's other hand and found that her left hand was also wrapped in an iron chain, which made a crisp sound when I touched it.

  I was really surprised, and then I felt my way up along the iron chain, only to find that these chains were all the way connected to the top of the cave, which means that the woman in front of me was hanging from the chains with both hands tied up in the cave.

  What surprised me even more was that when I touched the girl's body, I found that this woman's body seemed to be naked, with no covering on her. Although I only touched the woman's abdomen and quickly withdrew my hand, I can confirm that the woman in front of me was indeed naked.

  A naked woman, shackled and imprisoned in a dark underground dungeon... Such a scene can evoke a string of evil stories in the minds of ordinary people.

  I also thought about it with everyone, at that time I suspected that this woman was locked up here by a pervert or something.

  "Your hands are tied up with iron chains...... sorry I couldn't pull them down." I said somewhat apologetically.

  ...legs... The frail woman reminded me once again.

  At the sound, I crouched down and, bearing the severe pain in my shoulder, felt the woman's two feet, only to discover that her ankles were also locked with iron chains.

  If there was enough light, I would definitely be able to see that the woman in front of me is being hung here with her limbs splayed out and her body exposed.

  "Who locked you in here?"

  "...". The other party remained silent. Was she unwilling to answer? Some doubts flashed through my mind, was this woman also a victim of the rough eyebrowed men? But judging from their previous conversation, they should have been here for the first time too. Should... it wasn't them who locked her up either.

  "Sorry, although I wanted to rescue you... but now I don't have anything like a master key on hand, nor do I have a saw."

  I said with some embarrassment.

  "Alright, just bear with it a bit longer, do you know if there's another exit in this cave? If you do, I'll find a way out and come back to help you." This cave was previously sealed off from the well wall, which means there should be other exits, that's why I'm asking anxiously. What I want to do most now is to find a way out of here, shake off Zhang Guohua's people, and then think of a way to take revenge on those beasts. And then... I want to go home and see my sister Ah Xue and my mom. This is the only thing I want to do after escaping from death."

  "......No way......!!" Unexpectedly, after hearing my proposal, the woman actually raised her tone by a few degrees.

  I was taken aback and asked, "Why?" Only then did I realize that the woman was currently naked, and if she returned home in her current state of undress, she would definitely be embarrassed, which is why she refused me.

  "Oh... don't worry, I won't tell anyone that you're being held here. I'll get the police to rescue you, no matter who put you in this situation will be punished. Your family must be waiting for you too? They should be worried sick about finding you." We've both fallen into the same pit and can only sympathize with each other, so I could only sigh and try to comfort her like this.

  "...the police...do you believe in the police..."
