Upon learning that Xiaoxuanzi was missing, He Ting and Lu Baiwei's heart sank to the bottom of the valley.

Lu Baiwei felt as if a piece of her heart had been dug out, and she felt a chill that penetrated deep into her bones.

She felt dizzy and almost fell to the ground.

He Ting's reaction was similar, but at this moment, he was a man and the pillar of the family, so he had to hold on.

So when Lu Baiwei was about to collapse, He Ting helped her up and forced himself to calm down quickly.

"It's impossible for a person to disappear out of thin air. There must be an invisible mechanism in this house."

Professor Zhou is good at organization.

He Ting carefully asked again what happened before and after Xiaoxuanzi disappeared, and looked at Zhou Zhaoye inquiringly.

"That's what I thought."

Zhou Zhaoye told He Ting the result of his speculation: "After thinking about it, there are only two possibilities. One is that Xiaoxuanzi fell into the well, and the other is that if there is a mechanism, this mechanism may be at the bottom of the well."

"So I asked Yanfeng to go down and take a look. He even sank to the bottom of the well and knocked on it, but he couldn't find any flaws."

Professor Zhou added: "When Xiaoxuanzi climbed the tree, he had fetched water before, and the manhole cover had not been moved back in time."

If the manhole cover was open when Xiaoxuanzi climbed the tree, He Ting would still think based on his intuition that the mystery must be in the well.

He decided to go down and take a look himself.

He Ting asked Tang Yuanyang and Zhou Yanfeng to help find all the flashlights in the house. He Ting tied five flashlights together with a rope. When all the flashlights were turned on, a headlight with five beams of light was formed.

In addition, he took a hammer from the tool room and a hook that could be used to hammer into the well wall.

He tied one end of a thick rope under the ginkgo tree and the other end to a basket. He put himself into the basket and asked Zhou Yanfeng, Tang Yuanyang and others to hold the hemp rope from above and slowly lower him down section by section.

When we got to the bottom of the well and were almost near the water surface, a beam of light made from five flashlights illuminated the deep well as bright as day.

Sure enough, He Ting saw words carved in small seal script on the wall of the well.

There was silence for a while and everyone held their breath.

Along with the sound of water splashing into the water, Zhou Yanfeng and Tang Yuanyang felt that the rope holding the basket was empty and their hands had lost weight.

Then there was an eerie silence, with no sound coming from the well.

As time passed, not only Lu Baiwei was worried about He Ting, but everyone near the well was extremely anxious, and Zhou Yanfeng was the most anxious among them.

Because before He Ting came back, he had been down the well, and he knew very well how bone-chilling the well water was in early spring.

Five minutes had passed since He Ting plunged into the water with a splash.

Not to mention that people cannot hold their breath for that long if they dive into the water without breathing. The cold water in the well alone is enough to cause frostbite and cold illness to people.

Zhou Yanfeng was completely impatient.

"Brother Ting, are you still down there?"

He Hua also anxiously leaned over the edge of the well and shouted, "A Ting, A Ting!"

Before He Ting entered the water, he embedded the flashlight on the hook on the wall of the well.

Zhou Yanfeng and He Hua raised their heads upwards and could vaguely see that the shaking hydroelectric flashlight illuminated the surface of the well very clearly, but the strange thing was that although He Ting had clearly entered the water, there were no ripples on the surface of the well. It was as calm as if no one had ever dived into it.

Something's wrong!

Zhou Yanfeng felt something was wrong, and Lu Baiwei, who was leaning over the edge of the well to watch, also felt something was wrong.

"He Ting, He Ting, are you still there?"

Lu Baiwei was very worried.

Could it be that He Ting sank into the water and lost consciousness?

As a few minutes passed, Lu Baiwei could no longer remain calm.

She took a deep breath and made a decision, then told Tang Yuanyang and Zhou Yanfeng, "Pull the basket up, I'll go down and take a look."

Xuanxuan suddenly disappeared, and then He Ting disappeared again after he went down the well.

Xiao Hanzi was worried that Lu Baiwei would disappear after going down the well, so she hugged Lu Baiwei's legs and refused to let go, with tears and snot all over her face.

Chengcheng held his sister with one hand and clenched his fist with the other.

"Sister-in-law, don't be anxious. Brother Ting is the most sensible person."

Zhou Yanfeng was also anxious!

What is going on down there?

There was nothing when he went downstairs just now!

He glanced at Professor Zhou, who quickly spoke to comfort him: "Weiwei, I know Ating. Ating is a calm person. If he can't stand it underwater, he will respond before his body freezes."

Perhaps Professor Zhou's comfort worked, Lu Baiwei was not so panicked anymore.

She took a deep breath and tried to calm herself down.

Tang Yuanyang and He Hua both expressed their willingness to go down the well to take a look on behalf of Lu Baiwei.

Finally, He Hua sat in the basket. Zhou Yanfeng, Tang Yunling and others lowered the rope one section at a time. The basket was about to reach the water surface. He Hua shouted "stop" in the well and planned to climb out of the basket and go into the water.

At this moment, the calm surface of the well suddenly splashed with water, and He Ting, who was soaked all over, emerged to the surface holding Xiao Xuanzi in his arms.

How could people appear out of nowhere?

He Hua was shocked and quickly touched the edge of the basket to take the little nephew that He Ting handed over.

Hearing the noise coming from the well, Zhou Yanfeng and others above hurriedly pulled the baskets. After two baskets were pulled up, they saw Xiaoxuan in He Hua's arms, and Lu Baiwei and the old couple of the Lu family almost collapsed.

Tang Yunling, who was still a bit nervous, sniffed Xiaoxuanzi's breath and shouted, "Weiwei, she's alive and breathing."

Only then did Lu Baiwei avoid falling to the ground.

Perhaps Tang Yunling's hand was too close to Xiaoxuanzi's nose, and he yawned loudly.

"Oh, it's so cold!"

Xiaoxuanzi opened his eyes in confusion.

The group of people who survived the disaster discovered that Xiaoxuanzi was wrapped in a dark red robe with many embroidered patterns.

Others couldn't tell what Xiao Xuanzi was wearing, but Zhou Zhaoye, who had worked in Liulichang, recognized that what wrapped Xuanxuan was a Qing Dynasty eunuch's robe, one worn by eunuchs of extremely high rank.

"A-Ting?"

Zhou Zhaoye shouted excitedly at He Ting who was climbing up the wall of the well.

The soaked He Ting responded to Zhou Zhaoye: "Grandpa Zhou, I'll give Xuanxuan a hot bath first and talk to you later."

Fortunately, there has been a fire pit in the house in Bingjiao Hutong since the beginning of winter.

There is ready hot water in the boiler in the kitchen.

After a while, He Ting and Xuan Xuan, father and son, soaked in the steaming hot bathtub.

Xuanxuan's disappearance this time scared Lu Baiwei and Xiao Chengzi Hanhan. The father and son were taking a bath, and Lu Baiwei took Xiao Hanzi and Chengcheng and refused to leave.

Xuanxuan covered his face in shame and made faces to make Xiaohanzi laugh.

A child’s world is always so pure. When she saw her brother was found, little Hanzi giggled and covered her face with her hands, completely forgetting that she had just been crying loudly by the edge of the well.

Lu Baiwei had just returned from Pengcheng, and Xiaoxuanzi gave her such a big scare that she almost lost her soul.

Now seeing the father and son soaking in the hot water, they finally warmed up.

Lu Baiwei took the robe that had been used to wrap Xuanxuan and asked He Ting, "There is a mechanism under the well, right?"
