"I saw you sitting by the well and thought you were possessed. I was about to pull you back in, but someone pushed you down!" Tang Mianmian gritted her teeth and said, "This is a dry well. I must have fainted from the fall, but you fell in and woke me up!"

Xiao Tangqiu laughed dryly: "Fortunately this is a dry well, otherwise we would have drowned."

"Let's find a way to get out first!" Tang Mianmian was terrified. "If you hadn't come, I would have died down there and no one would have known..."

The well was not deep, but the walls were very smooth. It was obviously impossible for one person to climb out alone, but if two people helped each other, it seemed possible to escape. After discussing it, the two decided to let Tang Mianmian climb out first, and then find a rope or stepping stone to rescue Xiao Tangqiu.

After several difficult attempts, Tang Mianmian finally climbed out successfully by stepping on Xiao Tangqiu's shoulders, while Xiao Tangqiu fell to the ground exhausted.

"Just wait! I'll be right back!"

Xiao Tangqiu was so tired that he just wanted to lie down. While Tang Mianmian was looking for tools, he simply lay down. Anyway, the bottom of the dry well was full of dead branches and leaves, so it wasn't too dirty. But just as he lay down, he suddenly felt something hit his back. He subconsciously reached out and touched it, and immediately felt a round and hard object.

Xiao Tangqiu took a look at it in the moonlight from the well and almost cried out. It turned out to be a human skull!

He immediately threw the human skull out. When the skull hit the wall of the well, a shiny silver object fell out from the dark eye socket hole.

...What is that?

Xiao Tangqiu hesitated for a moment, but still took a step forward and picked up the silver thing. When he picked it up and took a look, he found that it was an exquisite little key!

A key? How could there be a key at the bottom of this well? Shouldn't he look for a door first?

He silently put the key away, picked up the human skull and examined it. In the "quick glimpse" just now, he found that the black holes in the eye sockets of this person's skull seemed to be particularly large. Although he did not have other people's skulls to compare, the black holes in the eye sockets of this person's skull were obviously abnormally large, as if someone had forcibly dug them out later... and he remembered that when they arrived at this fishing village, the boatman looked like his eyes had been dug out.

At this moment, Tang Mianmian finally found a rope, tied one end to the tree, and threw the other end down.

Xiao Tangqiu had no experience in mountain climbing and rock climbing, and it took him a lot of effort to climb up the smooth wall of the well. After finally stepping on solid ground, he didn't even have time to catch his breath. He immediately pulled Tang Mianmian back. Tang Mianmian obviously didn't have the time to stay any longer, so the two of them decisively turned back the way they came.
