Chapter 717 There Is a Person in the Ancient Well 01

Or is it because he is drunk and is cowardly?

If she hadn't been drinking, Shanshan would never have been so reckless!

But at that time, she happened to meet Gu Jingli's gloomy eyes!

That's a woman.

His pale face was bloodless, his dark eyes had no light, his hair was disheveled, and he looked completely unlike a human being.

"Ghost!"

Shanshan screamed and fell to the ground. The little wine she drank before made her wake up in an instant.

But the man in the well made a hoarse sound.

The voice was not loud, but seemed to be saying "Help me."

"Please……"

"I'm not a ghost..."

"please……"

One sound, another sound, and another sound.

The voice was unclear, but Shanshan heard it clearly.

Shanshan was about to get up and run, but something went wrong and she took a few more glances.

This is a dry well.

And the ragged woman inside, she was barefoot, and on her feet...

A long chain was wrapped around her feet. The woman was locked at the bottom of the well by the chain.

She recognized it again and found out that the woman's accent was clearly not local.

And listening to this woman's hoarse voice, could it be that her throat was injured?

How could this...a good person be locked at the bottom of a well?

An idea came to Shanshan's mind.

Could this woman be detained? And was the metallic sound he heard before actually the cry for help from the iron chain?

This woman heard her voice asking for directions and recognized that she was not from here, so she relied on the sound of the chain to finally lure her here?

"Were you caught here?"

As soon as Shanshan asked, the woman nodded frantically and knelt down.

She kowtowed to Shanshan repeatedly, repeatedly emphasizing "save me" and "please".

After just a few knocks, blood oozed from her forehead, showing her determination.

Shanshan quickly waved her hand to stop her: "I will find a way to save you. Don't worry yet."

The woman thanked him repeatedly and kowtowed three more times.

In this way, Shanshan, who was so frightened at the time, did not dare to ask any more questions. However, after she remembered that the house number on the outer courtyard was No. 2, Group 2, she searched for a while and met a few children before returning to the village for the banquet. .

She couldn't help but ask herself, if she discovered the woman at the bottom of the well the first time she came here, could the villagers here not know? She shuddered a little when she saw that one family came to have relatives and the whole village came to eat. She just hoped that she had made a mistake.

She held it in until the next day without saying anything or asking any more questions.

When leaving, fearing that they would take the wrong path again, the village sent two children to guide them. On the way, Shanshan took a box of chocolates and successfully asked a child to tell her everything.

"Thank you, sister. Will you come again in the future?"

"not coming."

"Why?"

"Your village is haunted."

"It's nothing! Sister, you are so old, are you still afraid of ghosts?"

"Really! I went for a walk last night and kept hearing the sound of chains. I walked over, but there was no one there. I saw a well. Do you think it was scary? I turned around and ran away!"

"Sister, is she going to the second group?"

"have no idea."

"Sister, didn't you go over and take a look?"

"I'm scared, where can I go?"

"That's the old Zhang family's wife, not a ghost."

"Nonsense, how could my wife be in the well?"

"That's the old Zhang family!"

The two children didn't think there was anything wrong, but Shanshan's father and grandfather looked at each other with wide eyes.

As for Shanshan, she would rather hear that the woman was a ghost and that the village was haunted than that she was a human being.

He is a human being, how can he be worse than a ghost?

She is a daughter-in-law, how could she be chained up with such a thick chain?

It was such a cold day, her clothes were still torn, and she was even barefoot!

"You are so bad, you even lied to my sister! I don't believe it!" Shanshan gasped for air while finding a box of chewing gum and a few small bags of biscuits from her bag for the two children.

"Really, we didn't lie to my sister."

When they got the food, the two children knew everything.

"The wife of the old Zhang family was picked up. She was disobedient and had a bad brain. She was always biting people and yelling randomly. Later, she took the wrong medicine and her voice was broken. She always wanted to run away with her children. Old Zhang just wanted to We can lock her up. Every time she goes crazy, she will be locked up in the well!"

Sure enough, everyone in the village knew.

Picked it up? You have to return everything you pick up, let alone people? Is it a woman?

If you find someone, you will become your wife? get married? Registered?

Since she is the mother of a child, how can she bear to lock it?

Bad brain? Bite? Taking the wrong medicine? Lost your voice? Escape? Lock up if you're crazy? ...Everything confirms her previous suspicions.

The more Shanshan thought about it, the more scared she became.

After getting in the car, she said she was going to call the police.

But she was stopped.

Her grandfather said that as soon as they walked away, the police would be called on the back, and everyone would know it was them. Even if they are not afraid of getting into trouble, calling the police will make it difficult for them to deal with it. People are welcoming them warmly, but if they do this, how will they live there in the future?

Her father felt that since the old Zhang family could marry that woman, it meant that the formalities had been completed. Women may be really mentally ill, but that means they are troublesome.

Shanshan: "But I promised that woman. And even if she is mentally ill, it is not the reason for her being abused. Besides, we all know that she may not have been picked up."

"Child, forget it." Father Shan said: "In this remote mountainous area, even if you call the police, it may be difficult to obtain evidence. And you have also seen that the villagers here are united. If you want to rescue the woman, you may not be able to do it. Then Women have children, so it’s not a matter of simply calling the police.”

"Then I don't care at all?"

"It's best to forget. Don't worry your grandpa."

However, Shanshan couldn't forget this.

She always thought of the begging look in the woman's eyes in the well and the scene of her kowtow to beg her.

More than ten days later, after leaving her hometown, she asked a colleague to call the police.

In another city, a public phone is used.

In this way, at least no one will suspect that calling the police is related to her grandfather, and will not implicate her grandfather.

For a period of time after that, Shanshan paid attention to the news about the woman's location. But there was still no news.

I asked my colleagues to call the local police station, but they were told that no woman was found at that house.

More than two months ago, Shanshan returned to her hometown to celebrate the New Year. Remembering that woman, she begged her cousin to go to the small mountain village with her again.

They brought big and small bags, pretending that they were visiting grandpa Fa's home, and also packed another five thousand yuan. They deliberately went in the afternoon because they couldn't make it back in time, so they could stay one night as a matter of course.

Given the opportunity, this time it was my cousin who went to that house.

But not only could the woman not be found, the well at home was also locked by a manhole cover.

Shanshan also found the child who had confessed to her before.

After a few inducements and a lot of talking, the child told him that the woman in the well had died last year and had fallen to death in the back mountain...

"Isn't he locked up? Why did he go to the back mountain?"

"The village was in chaos that day, and police cars seemed to have arrived. Two days later, someone saw her hanging on the cliff at the back. She must have slipped and fell."
