Chapter 247 Story
Lin Jiu's gaze kept changing.
On the phone screen, there was a woman in a wedding dress pointing at the well. Although her face could not be seen because of the veil, Lin Jiu could sense her eagerness.
But when you look away from the screen, you can't see the woman at the well.
Lin Jiu put down his phone, and Charles spoke again: "What's wrong?"
"I saw the bride." Lin Jiu said, "But it was on Tang Yu's phone."
Charles was slightly stunned when he heard this.
He had just looked at Tang Yu's phone and didn't see anything.
"At the well?"
Lin Jiu nodded and walked over.
As they got closer to the well, although they couldn't see it, Lin Jiu and Charles could feel the already cold temperature around them dropping further.
The bride, invisible to the naked eye, is still there.
At this time, Lin Jiu raised his hand to stop Charles, but the latter pressed down his arm and shook his head slightly.
"I don't want to always rely on your strength," Charles said slowly.
Lin Jiu said, "But I want you to rely on me."
The straightforward statement made Charles pause, and he looked embarrassed: "Having said that, I am a man after all, and I am older than you..."
Although he was very happy that Lin Jiu was willing to protect him, his pride as a man really couldn't allow Charles to continue relying on Lin Jiu's power.
Especially after he improved his strength as well.
Charles knew Lin Jiu's strength, but he also had his own pride.
He was originally a person in a high position, so in front of Lin Jiu, Charles was naturally willing to lower his posture, but this did not mean that he had lost his mind.
Hearing this, Lin Jiu's brain worked quickly.
He quickly understood what Charles meant, nodded, and stepped back.
"I see. Let's watch it together."
Seeing that Lin Jiu agreed and had not shown any dissatisfaction, Charles breathed a sigh of relief.
"good."
The two of them came to the well together and looked down. It was pitch black below.
Charles saw nothing; it seemed to be just a dry well.
In Lin Jiu's eyes, a prompt box appeared: [Connecting to the tunnel entrance on the other side]
typical?
Lin Jiu subconsciously looked to the side, but suddenly remembered that he could not see the bride with his naked eyes, so he picked up his phone.
However, the bride was missing.
The cold aura was clearly still there. Lin Jiu looked around and found that it was nowhere, so he turned his attention to the well again.
Is it possible to go down?
"Did you hear any sound?" Charles asked at this time. He leaned down slightly, tilted his head and listened carefully for a while, then said, "There's the sound of wind. There seems to be a tunnel down here?"
Lin Jiu was not surprised that Charles noticed this and nodded.
Charles immediately had the idea of going down to take a look, but before he could open his mouth, the ringing of his cell phone interrupted him.
Lin Jiu picked up the phone and saw that the caller ID was [Dear Sisi].
It was Ye Sisi calling.
After the call was connected, Lin Jiu turned on the hands-free mode.
"What's wrong? What happened?" Lin Jiu asked directly.
The other party paused for a second or two before speaking: "No, I just wanted to ask when you will be back."
Hearing this, Lin Jiu glanced at the time. He and Charles had been searching here for two hours, and it was almost time for dinner.
"I'll go back right away." Lin Jiu said after thinking for a while.
"Okay, be careful." Ye Sisi subconsciously reminded him.
After responding, Lin Jiu hung up the phone.
"Want to go down and take a look?" Charles asked.
Lin Jiu stared at the bottom of the well for a moment. He took a picture with his cell phone, but saw nothing.
After thinking for a moment, he said, "I'll go down and take a look. I'll be back soon."
After saying that, Lin Jiu handed Tang Yu's cell phone to Charles and jumped into the well with light movements.
The well was about ten meters deep. When Lin Jiu looked up, sure enough, a dark tunnel came into view.
The cold and gloomy atmosphere here dissipated a lot. Lin Jiu did not stay for long and quickly returned to the ground.
"You heard right, there is indeed a tunnel."
Lin Jiu said this, patting the non-existent dust off his body, and Charles patted his back.
"This should be considered an important discovery." Charles said: "It looks like it is used for emergency shelter or... escape."
Lin Jiu nodded in agreement.
"Let's go back first, and then find an opportunity to share information."
Charles and Lin Jiu left the old house together, and soon after they left, faint crying sounds were heard from the well...

It was forty minutes later when we returned to the B&B.
"Why are you so late? Are you in trouble?" Christie had been waiting at the entrance of the B&B. When he saw Charles and Lin Jiu coming back, he immediately went forward to check them up and down.
Charles looked a little tired, shook his head, and said, "It's those villagers."
Lin Jiu raised his hand to rub his sore cheek and said slowly: "My face is stiff from smiling..."
It takes about twenty minutes to get from the B&B to the small scenic spot. The reason we came back so late was because we met villagers on the way.
Those old men and women were really enthusiastic. If Ye Sisi hadn't called again, they would probably have come back even later.
"I'm glad you're okay." Christie breathed a sigh of relief. "By the way, those three weirdos came looking for us while you were away."
"Who?" Charles asked subconsciously, then quickly realized: "They?"
Christie nodded. "They're on the rooftop right now. They said they want to eat hot pot."
Lin Jiu remembered that there was laughter coming from the phone before, and it was probably those three guys.
Several people entered the B&B, but Lin Jiu did not follow them up. He just handed Tang Yu's phone to Charles and went to talk to Aunt Wang.
After a few words, Lin Jiu started chatting and laughing with Aunt Wang. Seeing that they were getting to know each other better, he asked, "Sister, I want to know if there are any ghost stories in our village?"
"A supernatural story?" Aunt Wang was stunned for a moment, then smiled and waved her hand. "With the protection of the mountain god, how could there be such a story? Why are you asking this suddenly?"
Lin Jiu said "oh" and explained: "Let's get together in the evening and tell some horror stories to liven up the atmosphere."
"Is that so..." Aunt Wang nodded, then thought of something and said, "I have a few stories about the mountain gods who used to subdue demons and monsters. Would you like to hear them?"
Hearing this, Lin Jiu's eyes lit up.
"Okay, okay."
Seeing that Lin Jiu was interested, Aunt Wang smiled even more happily, walked up to Lin Jiu and pulled him to sit aside.
Seeing her so happy, Lin Jiu was also happy.
This Aunt Wang is really easy to talk to.
Lin Jiu was not surprised. He liked people with gentle personalities like this. They had gentle looks and voices. Such people were not only easy to talk to, but also easy to control.
Aunt Wang told Lin Jiu a lot of stories. The first half did contain some supernatural stories that Lin Jiu "needed", but after that it was all clichéd plots about how powerful the mountain god was. Lin Jiu seemed to be listening carefully, but in fact, it went in one ear and out the other.
Aunt Wang gave off something like a polluted smell when she was telling the story. Lin Jiu guessed that these people were probably tourists who came here because of this brainwashing.
Unfortunately, this is useless to Lin Jiu.
