Chapter 22: The Cellar is Broken into, Forced into the Well!

  I fell to the ground, feeling as if my heart was about to jump out of my throat.

  What's with those eyes just now, and how did the sound of iron locks come out?

  Isn't this well going down, imprisoning something?

  I swallowed hard, my heart full of astonishment.

  At this moment, I suddenly feel that the home where I have lived for twenty-one years seems to be hiding many secrets, and these secrets are things that my past self has never touched.

  A strange feeling has been growing in my heart, not only for this village, this home, but also for Grandpa and Dad, a deep sense of strangeness.

  What's going on here? Who dug this well anyway? Was it Grandpa?

  And is this thing also being imprisoned here by Grandpa?

  Does my dad know about these things?

  At this time, I heard Xia Yu Xin shouting at me from upstairs: "Yi Fan, Yi Fan..."

  "I'm fine!" I replied, and then, steeling myself again, I lay down at the well mouth and looked down once more.

  Just now, I only saw a pair of eerie eyes, and then I was so scared that I didn't dare to look again. At this moment, I leaned on the well mouth again, but nothing could be seen.

  That's strange, where did that thing go?

  I took a deep breath and shouted out loud: "Uncle, can you still hear me?" Please Baidu Hei Yan Ge is the greatest support for us, thank you!

  There was no response, presumably he had met with misfortune.

  At this time, the corpse sister who had been immersed for a long time suddenly let out a cold hum and said: "Your family is really hiding many secrets!"

  I was taken aback by his words, then asked in a low voice: "Do you know something?"

  "Hmph, your family members are all so cunning and scheming, how would I know? Otherwise, why would you set up such a big trap and imprison me? Hmph, in the endless river of history, which dynasty didn't have my sister's shadow? And how many emperors spent thousands of gold coins just to see me once? But unexpectedly, in the end, I'm forced to sign a contract with you and become your puppet, controlled by you. It's really laughable, laughable!" The corpse sister's voice was cold and dissatisfied, but upon hearing this, I furrowed my brow.

  What does Shijie's words really mean? What kind of scheme did my family set up? What scheme and who set it up?

  Could it be Grandpa?

  And she said, every dynasty and generation has her shadow, then how many years has she existed in the world?

  Who is she?

  I wanted to ask more questions, but at this time Xia Yuxin suddenly jumped down and bent over to ask me: "Who are you talking to?"

  I hastily shook my head and pretended to be stupid, saying: "No, did you hear it wrong?"

  Xia Yu Xing gave me a strange look and asked again: "What was that miserable cry about earlier?"

  I took a look at the deep well in front of me and said: "The person who came down before fell into the well, I'm afraid it's more bad than good!"

  "?" Xia Yu wrinkled her brow and walked over to take a look into the well, muttering: "Here, how can there be a well?"

  After saying that, he actually used his mobile phone and took a photo of the well.

  I just wanted to stop her, but it was too late. The glow of the phone had already shone in, and immediately I heard Xia Yu Xin exclaim: "Strange, the space under this well seems very large, and it's so deep! It can't even shine all the way down!"

  "Let's go!" I don't want to stay here any longer, and besides, the secret under the well, I also don't want anyone to know. Firstly, I'm afraid of causing unnecessary panic, secondly, I'm afraid that if I say it out loud, someone will gossip about it.

  There are some things that it's better not to say out loud, and only you know them. This is what I deeply felt during my two years in university.

  Xia Yu Xin nodded, and immediately, both of us crawled up in silence, without a word.

  Another inexplicable death, and my heart is not feeling well. Moreover, his death may also be related to my family. If this well was indeed set up by someone from my family, then isn't it saying that my family indirectly killed that person?

  After crawling out, I was silent with a gloomy face. At this time, Xiao Hei looked at me and asked: "What's going on below? Where are the people who went down before?"

  He didn't ask, it's fine. As soon as he asked, my temper suddenly flared up and I stormed over, grabbing his collar and fiercely saying: "Damn you, it's all because of you! If you hadn't let him go down, how would he have died?"

  "Dead?" Xiao He ignored me and turned his head, looking at the entrance of the corridor with an unpredictable expression. After a while, he turned back to me, narrowed his eyes, and whispered in my ear: "I advise you to be polite to me, or else..."

  His words had just fallen when suddenly a sweeping leg came towards me. We were very close, and this sudden move caught me off guard. I was swept to the ground in an instant.

  I lay on the ground, lifted my head, and glared at him fiercely. He, however, narrowed his eyes and smiled at me with a smirk.

  That mysterious smile suddenly made me feel a chill in my heart, the smile was too eerie. At this moment, a terrifying thought suddenly rose up in my mind, could it be that Little He is no longer the same as before?

  Or perhaps, the little He in front of him was not Little He at all?

  "What are you doing? Stop it!" Xia Yu Xin rushed over and blocked Xiao He's way, saying: "He Ge, what are you doing?"

  Xiao He didn't say a word, only let out a cold laugh and then walked to the corner, crouching down to stare blankly at the entrance of the corridor.

  "Are you okay?" Xia Yu Xin squatted down, anxiously asking. I shook my head and said it was nothing, then got up and glared fiercely at Little He before sitting in the corner without making another sound.

  Another person died. At this time, there were only five people left in the cellar. None of us spoke and we all crouched in a corner with our heads down, each thinking about our own affairs.

  In the pitch-black environment, time always passes exceptionally slowly. Moreover, thinking about the endless corpses crawling over my head makes time seem even more prolonged.

  "Squeak squeak!......"

  The corpse turtle crawled over the iron lid, emitting an ear-piercing scraping sound. The sound was extremely piercing and was infinitely amplified in the cramped and stifling vegetable cellar, making it sound especially terrifying. My heart was almost always gripped with anxiety, constantly worrying that the vegetable cellar would be broken into and an endless stream of corpse turtles would crawl in.

  Time passed in a daze, the sound of the turtle's friction still echoing, we were hungry and ate buns, thirsty and drank water, finally the buns were finished, starving to the point of unbearable, picked up the big white cabbage and potatoes on the ground and started gnawing.

  Some people were so anxious that they solved the problem directly in the corner, and one of the villagers even pulled a fart in the corner. In an instant, the entire vegetable cellar was filled with a foul smell.

  The piercing sounds and the foul smells are constantly stimulating our nerves, people at this time, often easiest to go crazy, even collapse, I only feel myself getting more and more violent, even have a kind of opening the door, rushing out, even if it's death, don't want to continue being trapped here impulse.

  But I didn't do that, because I knew that if the cellar door was really opened, it wouldn't be just death, our corpses would also be eaten up without a trace.

  It's also unknown how much longer it took, but finally someone couldn't bear it anymore. A loud and frantic cry was heard from the corner, followed by a person with eyes wide open and filled with bloodshot, waving their hands and rushing towards the ladder with a ferocious expression, quickly climbing up.

  "Old man can't take it anymore, can't take it anymore!" He yelled crazily and actually went to push the lid of the dish cellar. I was shocked at the sight and shouted: "Uncle, don't..."

  He had apparently collapsed and wouldn't respond to my words, so I rushed over to pull him, but just then, with a 'creak', the lid of the vegetable cellar was opened by him.

  As the lid of the cellar was opened, a hazy sunlight immediately shone in. He took a deep breath and sighed: "Ah, what fresh air!"

  But in the next moment, the dim sunlight was covered by a piece of darkness.

  A strange cry of 'squeak squeak' rang out, and then a group of zombie turtles rushed in frantically, instantly swarming all over his body. He flailed wildly, but the zombie turtles clung to him, impossible to shake off. At this moment, he let out a loud shout, and then, ignoring the zombie turtles on his body, his head suddenly popped out.

  Outside, a large number of corpses were floating together. With this one move, he almost instantly thrust his head into the tide of corpses. The outcome was predictable.

  I clearly saw that the flesh on his head was rapidly disappearing, and those vultures didn't even intentionally peck at him, they just passed by, and incidentally, ate away his head and face!

  The scene in front of me was terrifying, a living person, just for an instant, the skin on his face and head were gnawed off, and countless corpse turtles were burrowing into his bloody skull with great effort.

  I was chilled to the bone. At this time, everyone who was dozing off woke up with a start and couldn't help but exclaim in shock at the scene before their eyes.

  "Damn it!" I cursed loudly and immediately moved away from the entrance.

  The dead turtles were falling into the cellar with a loud crash, and in no time, dozens or even hundreds of them had crawled inside. I knew we couldn't stay there any longer, so I shouted: "Quickly, quickly go downstairs!"

  After I finished speaking, I went to open the iron cover. The crowd poured in, and I was the last one to jump down. I stretched out my hand to close the iron cover, but it was bitten by several zombie turtles. The piercing pain instantly spread throughout my body. I let out a sharp cry, and my hand quickly withdrew.

  The iron lid didn't close, and the corpse turtle was rushing down to the next floor. I knew we were done for.

  At this moment, suddenly the sound of iron chains came from the well, I turned my head to look at the deep well, and then gritted my teeth, thinking "I'll give it a try!"

  "I shouted loudly: 'All down the well!' Having said that, I rushed to the side of the deep well and jumped in without hesitation."
