Chapter 276: Midnight Haunted House 64
"You..." Su Qingyun looked Ye Jian up and down. He was originally wearing a mask on his face, but now the mask was gone, just like the gas mask on her face.
"Don't you remember that you were entangled in some hair-like things at the bottom of the well?"
Ye Jian pressed his head, as if trying to clear his mind. Finally, he reached out and grabbed the rope, and said to Su Qingyun, "Go up first."
Going up is harder than going down the well. Fortunately, Xu Xinghe helped. After the two of them went up, Xu Xinghe took out two blankets from the space and covered them with them.
"Did you find anything in the well? I just saw Ye Jian seem to have found a human skull."
"Yes, there was a human skull, but I put it in a hole in the well."
"Is there a hole in the well?"
Su Qingyun nodded and told Xu Xinghe that the cave was on the wall of the well.
Su Qingyun also told Xu Xinghe that she had just seen a red figure running into the cave at the entrance.
"I always feel that the female ghost in cheongsam deliberately led us here. I fell into the well just now and suddenly sank, but I can breathe."
"In the well?"
Su Qingyun nodded again.
This is indeed a bit strange, because Xu Xinghe and Su Qingyun have experienced the Linhu Village dungeon. Although they are in the dungeon, they will choke if they breathe after falling into the water.
Xu Xinghe turned his gaze to Ye Jian.
After Ye Jian climbed out of the well, he was a little dazed because he suddenly lost consciousness during the dive.
At that time, he was determined to find the remaining human bones at the bottom of the well. After diving down, he used the light on his shoulder strap to carefully use his rifle to dig through a pile of sediment at the bottom of the well.
Then he felt a warmth behind him, as if a very cold person suddenly crawled into a warm bed, and then he lost consciousness.
When he woke up, he had already been pulled out of the water by Su Qingyun.
As for what Su Qingyun said about being able to breathe underwater, he held his breath when he dived but didn't try to see if it was possible.
However, even though he stayed at the bottom of the well for so long after losing consciousness, no water entered his lungs, which proves that it is indeed possible to breathe underground.
But what is the trigger for breathing? Is it to breathe subconsciously, forgetting that you are in water?
"We have to go down." Ye Jian said to the two of them, "This time I will go with Xu Xinghe."
Xu Xinghe agreed. He was now very curious about the well.
Ye Jian said to Xu Xinghe, "Do you have any professional mountaineering ropes in your space?"
"have."
Xu Xinghe is an outdoor sports enthusiast, and most of his travel space is filled with equipment.
Ye Jian asked Xu Xinghe to take out the equipment, and the two of them used two locust trees as fulcrums to build a pulley bracket.
It was much easier to go down this time, but the spear that Su Qingyun gave to Ye Jian had now sunk into the well, and Ye Jian's mask was nowhere to be found.
Su Qingyun asked Xu Xinghe to get Ye Jian a gas mask.
“Although this is a bit bulky, it can filter out some of the unpleasant odors in the well.”
Ye Jian said nothing and put it on obediently.
Just now when he went down the well, he did smell the fishy smell in the water.
Xu Xinghe and Ye Jian successfully went down into the cave. Su Qingyun stood alone in the backyard. The night breeze made the two old locust trees rustle.
Su Qingyun raised her wrist to check the time: 00:00.
She pulled the blanket tighter around her and moved to the well.
There was no movement in the well. She wanted to call Xu Xinghe and Ye Jian to ask about the progress, but after thinking about it, she gave up.
She looked up at the night sky. At this moment, the entire sky was like a piece of ink-soaked rag, pressing heavily over the backyard.
The red moon mixed with black spots was torn into pieces by the clouds, and only a few strands of it leaked out and fell on two old locust trees. The shadows of the intertwined branches twisted on the ground, and crawled on the ground like countless skinny hands with the wind.
When Su Qingyun looked at the tree shadows, she suddenly thought of the old woman. Her hands were as withered and skinny as the light and shadows on the ground.
This made Su Qingyun a little scared. She subconsciously took two steps back, and the soles of her shoes made a few crisp sounds as they stepped on the dead leaves. The sound quickly spread in the empty courtyard and was then swallowed up by the dead silence.
Su Qingyun became even more frightened. She vaguely felt that something was spying on her in the backyard.
She took off the blanket, picked up the goose feather arrow from the ground, drew the bow and arrow, and looked around vigilantly.
There was a damp and rotten smell in the air, like old cotton wool buried in the ground being turned out, drilling into Su Qingyun's brain in waves.
Then, a slow voice penetrated Su Qingyun's eardrum along with the damp and rotten breath. The voice was hoarse and astringent, like the friction of rusty iron sheets.
Su Qingyun hurriedly looked in the direction of the sound. Under the old locust tree with dappled light and shadow, the half-faced old woman was hunched over, with half of her face sunken in the shadows and the other half of her skin wrinkled like a dry riverbed. One of her turbid eyes stared straight at Su Qingyun.
At this time, the old woman had a strange smile on her lips and was standing there with an axe in her hand. She called Su Qingyun "girl".
"Why are you running to my backyard so late at night?"
Su Qingyun didn't answer. She pulled the bow to its full extent and aimed at the old woman.
The old woman was not panicked, and didn't even look at Su Qingyun. She bent down and began to chop the tree, muttering to herself.
"You're too noisy, too noisy. Only by chopping you off can you find peace."
This locust tree was exactly the one that Xu Xinghe and Ye Jian had used as a support. Su Qingyun naturally couldn't let her chop it down. She sternly said, "Please stop, or I'll shoot you."
The old woman ignored him and continued chopping trees furiously, repeating the same words as before, "Too noisy, too noisy, only by chopping you down can you find peace."
Seeing this, Su Qingyun retracted his bow and arrow, walked to the old woman, and grabbed her wrist.
There was no warmth on the old woman's wrist, she looked weird.
Su Qingyun pulled the old woman closer. She stared into her eyes and asked, "Who is that skeleton at the bottom of the well?"
The old woman smiled, and the half of her face hidden in the shadows slowly emerged. At this moment, that half of her face was just a dark hole, and you could vaguely see her white bones. As she smiled, the white bones dropped fine dirt.
"Many years ago," the old woman said, her voice coming closer and farther, "there was also a girl in this courtyard, standing right where you are now." She raised her hand, like a dead branch, and pointed at Su Qingyun's feet. "That night, she asked me why I burned Xu Lang to death. I answered her, and then she died."
"Tonight," the old woman's voice was close to Su Qingyun's ear, carrying the fishy smell of dirt and decay, "you will die here too!"
After saying that, she raised the hatchet.
But the next second a dagger pierced the old woman's heart.
The dagger was still tied with a red rope and copper coins, which emitted a dazzling blue light.
