Outside, there was an unpleasant sound. Someone was trying to pry open the coffin.
The top of our heads began to fall to the ground, indicating that the other party had already inspected this place. My heart was pounding. I hid in the darkness and looked up nervously.
"What are you afraid of?" Suddenly, someone whispered in my ear.
I was caught off guard and was startled by him. I quickly dodged to the side.
The person who spoke to me was Mr. Zhao.
He was still smiling. "They're checking the coffin, but we're hiding in the well. What are you worried about?"
I don't know how to explain it. Doesn't he understand? Once the coffin outside is found out and tortured, how long can we hide this well?
However, there was nothing wrong with the coffin outside. Those people only checked the coffin a few times before reporting back to the leader and saying that there was nothing wrong with the coffin.
Those girls were stacked together, and with the dim light of the night, they somehow managed to get through it.
Then there was a tinkling sound, and the coffin was nailed back up.
I let out a long breath, and my whole body went limp. Only then did I realize that I was sweating and my whole back was soaked through.
"Mr. Zhao looked at me with disdain," Look at your little brother, look at him.
I turned my head to look and saw that my little brother was sitting there. Indeed, he wasn't nervous, but his face was a little red. He looked a little shy and embarrassed.
After a while, the little brother said to me, "Big brother, do you have any pants that you don't wear at the moment?"
Mr. Zhao and I looked at the puddle of water under his feet and couldn't help but to retreat.
The little brother felt even more embarrassed and took the initiative to sit in the shadow.
The atmosphere was a little awkward. I asked the little brother, "What's your name?"
The little brother said: "My name is Tie Shan."
Looking at his frail body, I couldn't help but to let out a dry laugh.
At this time, the sounds in the courtyard gradually faded away. The living corpses then carried the coffins away from the small city. As for the three of us, we were trapped here and lost our only chance of survival.
I asked the Mr. Zhao, "In this small city, all the men were killed, and all the women were taken to Hades?"
Mr. Zhao said, "This argument of yours is not right. There is the suspicion that a man values his daughter."
I noticed that the man was a bit of a chatterbox, so I stopped talking. After a few seconds, he came to explain himself: "It should be said that the good-looking, the handsome, was taken to Hades. Those who looked ugly were all killed. "
I smiled and said, "So you're an ugly one?"
Mr. Zhao spread his hands: "I'm not a local."
I asked curiously, "What did the locals do?" Why is this happening? "
Mr. Zhao pointed at Tie Shan: "Ask him."
I looked at Tie Shan, but Tie Shan's face revealed a terrified expression. He suddenly kneeled down towards us and prostrated himself on the ground, bowing to us in a pious manner. Then, he raised his head and looked at me with a pleading expression as well as the Mr. Zhao.
He doesn't want Mr. Zhao to say it, and he doesn't want me to ask any further.
Thus, I became silent, and Mr. Zhao smiled, showing his disinterest.
Logically speaking, the three of us should be quietly waiting for death. When the thirst became unbearable, they would climb out of the well and be killed by the people outside.
However, Mr. Zhao suddenly said to Tie Shan, "I have a way to help you survive. Do you want to hear it?"
Tie Shan was instantly overjoyed, "Of course I want to hear it."
Mr. Zhao said, "Come here, I'll tell you in secret."
I sat there, embarrassed. There were only three people here, and now the two of them had to whisper. What was hiding from me?
Tie Shan was also a little hesitant. He looked at me, then said to the Mr. Zhao: "The people from Big Brother Hu are pretty good. Let him listen for a bit.
The Mr. Zhao said, "No, it won't work if he hears it."
I am a little worried, as I feel that Mr. Zhao's method isn't too beneficial to me.
Tie Shan apologetically smiled at me, then went over and listened to the Mr. Zhao's plan.
The bottom of the well was small, so small that I was only two steps away from them. But Mr. Zhao has the ability to prevent me from hearing it. Tie Shan's eyes grew wider and wider, the expression on his face more and more incredulous.
After a while, he whispered, "This …" This won't do, right? "
Mr. Zhao said, "Why not? You don't want to live anymore? "
Tie Shan bit his lips, as though he couldn't make a decision.
Mr. Zhao stuck close to his ear, trying his best to bewitch him. In the end, Tie Shan nodded while crying.
Then, Mr. Zhao reached his hand into's sleeve, and the two fiddled with it for a long time. It's kind of like a scam for a businessman to talk about a price, but I'm sure they're not talking about a price.
After the two of them finished talking, Mr. Zhao actually had the face to sit by my side.
I glanced at him and said, "Why don't you go sit with your new friend?"
Mr. Zhao rubbed his nose and said, "That brat was scared to the point that he peed.
Tie Shan turned a deaf ear to these words. It was as if he had lost his soul, he was hugging his knees at the bottom of the well, motionless, like a clay sculpture.
Later, Mr. Zhao yawned and said that he wanted to sleep. Even if he had to die, he didn't want to be a dead man.
I didn't like that, but listening to him snore made me feel a little sleepy, too. One had to say, sleep was something that could be easily spread.
After a few minutes, I couldn't hold on any longer, so I leaned against the wall and closed my eyes.
Faintly, I felt the people around me move. I was startled and immediately woke up. Because he had been on guard deep within his heart, it wasn't hard for him to wake up.
I woke up from my sleep, but I didn't move. I wanted to see what exactly Mr. Zhao and Tie Shan were up to.
My eyes opened slightly, and I saw that Mr. Zhao had quietly walked to my side, pulled my collar down to reveal the back of my neck, and then pointed at a certain place.
Tie Shan shyly glanced at them, then nodded towards Mr. Zhao. Afterwards, the two of them returned to their seats.
I looked at the two of them in confusion, not knowing what that meant.
I pretended for a while longer, then stretched and yawned and woke up.
I said to the Mr. Zhao, "Don't you have a way to leave this place alive? It's fine if you don't want me to know. Take action. So are we just going to sit here? "
Mr. Zhao scratched his head, "Okay, okay. "Let's move."
He walked to Tie Shan's side and said: "Tie Shan, do you remember what you promised me? Since he had already agreed to it, then he would do it, no matter how difficult it was … "Ahh!"
Mr. Zhao suddenly let out a miserable scream. At this time, Tie Shan's eyes suddenly shone with a murderous light as he pulled out a small knife from Mr. Zhao's stomach.
I was shocked. "Tie Shan, what are you …"
Before I finished speaking, Tie Shan pounced over like a wild beast. I kicked him into the corner.
Tie Shan's body is skinny and weak, so logically speaking, he can't win against me. However, he had a knife in his hand, and it seemed as if he had gone mad.
I was a little scared, and then Tie Shan seized this opportunity to trip me up. Before I could get up, he stabbed me in the neck.
I thought that just like last time, Mr. Zhao made two paper men to fake their deaths. But I soon realized that I was wrong, because my soul had come out of my body.
Mr. Zhao and I were standing inside the well with bitter smiles on our faces.
Tie Shan had already climbed out and was shouting loudly, saying that he already killed the two of us, so as to take this chance to contribute and gain the chance to enter the Underworld.
If he became a living corpse, at least he would have a chance to live. It was better than dying cleanly. This Tie Shan's calculations are not bad.
Mr. Zhao spread out his hands and said: "Let's go. When the people from the Underworld come, we won't even be able to leave with our souls. "
I looked at my body. It was lying in the mud, looking miserable.
Mr. Zhao said, "There's no need to look. We can't take the body with us. A living corpse would be delivered to the Hades to deliver. "Alright, alright. Let's go, let's go."
The two of us floated up from the bottom of the well and hid in the eaves.
At this time, the living corpses had already rushed over, but Tie Shan was kneeling on the ground with a complicated expression on his face: fear, confusion, trash …
Tears and snot streamed down his face, and he cried out as if to bolster himself, "I can't stand it, I can't stand it. You guys can take me with you, and even recognize me as a living corpse. "
The living corpses went to the bottom of the well to inspect, making use of this time, the Mr. Zhao took me and slipped out of the small courtyard.
On the way, I suddenly understood. I said to the Mr. Zhao, "Is this the method of survival that you mentioned?"
The Mr. Zhao replied, "The living can't pass through that door. A dead man can. Or ghosts. Now we're both ghosts and we can go. "Of course, we have to wait until dawn."
Puzzled, I asked, "Is there a need to hide this news from me?"
Mr. Zhao laughed and said: "They want to fake the signs of Tie Shan killing us. I can act like one, but I don't know if you can do it. So I have to hide it from you. Otherwise, Tie Shan would have been killed by them. "
I suddenly became suspicious, "Since the soul can pass through that door, why are all of you trying to break through with all your might? Wouldn't it be fine if my soul escaped after losing my physical body? "
Mr. Zhao was silent for a while and then said: "Because after the corpse was taken away, there is a high possibility of it becoming a living corpse. "We are cultivators, and we have our own pride. We can't afford to lose this kind of person by turning into living corpses."
I spread out my hands and said, "I'm not afraid of disgrace, but this will harm Tie Shan. For the sake of the two of us, he will become a living corpse."
The Mr. Zhao said, "I inserted a needle into Tie Shan's body. If the Underworld's people couldn't find him, then he could still be saved. If we find out, we can only accept our fate. "
At this time, the east had already turned slightly white. The Mr. Zhao pointed to the hole and said, "Let's go."
Like a gust of wind, the two of us flew towards the cave entrance. We went in, we did not age, we came out again, we were free.
I looked at myself in disbelief.
However, at this moment, I heard a faint voice come from behind me, "Two fish escaped the net."
I turned around abruptly, and saw a clay figure standing in the shadows of the doorway, looking at us.
