“How is it? How is it?” someone asked the man drinking water.
"This water is clear and sweet, cold and quenches thirst. It is very good." The drinker said, "I don't understand why a good well must be sealed up so that everyone can have a taste!"
So the villagers fetched a bucket of water from the well and drank from it one by one, without exception.
Everyone drank the water and thought it was good. The village chief at the time said:
“I think there’s nothing wrong with this water. It just so happens that we don’t need to dig another well in our village, so we can just use this one. It will be convenient for the villagers in the future!”
Hearing this, the villagers cheered.
From that day on, the villagers in Liu Village all depended on the water from this well, and they did not think there was any reason why their ancestors had to seal the well.
About a month after the villagers drank the well water, someone in the village died suddenly.
The man who died was the first man to drink the water. He was famous in the village for his good health and strength, was very strong, and had no illness or disaster, but he died suddenly.
More importantly, he died in a miserable state, with his face turning blue and black, bleeding from all his orifices, and his eyes wide open, as if he had seen something weird and terrifying and died of fright.
Liucun has been peaceful for so many years, and this is the first time such a strange thing has happened. This is incredible!
Everyone in the village was terrified and even speculated on how he died.
Before everyone could discuss the reason, the second person also died. The order of death was the same as the order in which they drank water.
Those who drank too much died in a terrible way, while those who drank too little died barely alive.
Someone noticed this pattern and set their sights on this well—
This is a well full of resentment and evil spirits. The fundamental purpose of its creation is to suppress the fetus, not to benefit the villagers.
This well water is indeed sweet.
But over the past hundred years, the fetus has gradually grown, and the strength of the dead half of the body has increased. The well water has long been polluted and full of death.
Every drop of water is intestinal poison to humans.
Every time you take a sip, you will be eroded by resentment and evil spirits, and the life will be slowly devoured by the dead air, until finally, you will die.
But the people in Liucun don’t know all this.
They felt that the person who tied the bell must be tied to untie the bell. Since the problem might occur in the well, they sent someone to the well to see if there was any toxic substance at the bottom of the well.
The village selected three people who were brave, in good health and good at holding their breath underwater. After preparing everything, they tied ropes around their waists and went to the bottom of the well one by one.
There were technological products decades ago. Although the village did not have electricity yet, there were flashlights that could illuminate things. The three of them were not completely unable to see at the bottom of the well.
Then, they saw a very strange picture—
The wall is covered with yellow talismans, thick iron chains, a tightly chained woman, and a white skeleton not far away...
Everything looks so weird and scary.
"How...how could this happen? Is she dead or alive?" Liu Jia, one of the three, gestured and asked.
“We’ll find out if we go and see.” Liu Yi swallowed nervously and cautiously approached the woman in the center of the formation.
The other two people followed him and finally came to the woman.
This woman is Apu.
She has been sealed at the bottom of a well for hundreds of years. Without eating or drinking, she has grown from a baby into a young girl by absorbing the evil spirit of resentment and practicing cultivation.
She looks very similar to her princess mother, but because she has not seen the sun all year round, her face has a trace of bloodless paleness.
A red dress wrapped around her beautiful body, lying quietly on the ground, she was both pure and charming. And this red dress was taken off the princess's mother's body. The princess was buried in it and was thrown to the bottom of the well by the villagers.
Liu Yi carefully knelt down and reached out to touch Ah Pup, only to find that her body was warm and soft, a real human body.
Although I don’t understand why she is locked here, she looks no different from a human being.
In that era, the war was just over and there was famine again. Not only did not have enough to eat, but there were many rural men who could not find a wife.
So, greed and **** came to mind at this moment.
These three people didn’t want to let the woman go, so they didn’t touch the talismans. Instead, they took off Agu’s clothes and took possession of her just like the villagers did to her mother hundreds of years ago.
Apup only knows how to absorb power, but he doesn’t know how to release power to protect himself.
The memory she inherited from the princess did not describe how to use this power freely. She wanted to resist, but was locked and unable to move.
The tragedy that happened to the princess was repeated to Ah Pup.
For a time, the memory of the princess's mother overlapped with her own memory. She couldn't even tell who she was, but she only knew that there was a strong hatred in her heart.
That is the mother's hatred, and it is also her own hatred.
This hatred gave her an epiphany. With a hint of instinct, she mobilized the power in her body and knocked away these three men who were plotting against her.
They hit the stone wall at the bottom of the well, vomited blood, and were seriously injured.
The key lies in this blood.
You must know that A-Pup is the descendant of those villagers and the female corpse hundreds of years ago. These three people are also the descendants of those villagers. In total, A-Pup is related to them by blood.
The blood of the three of them was like delicious food, tempting Ah Pup to devour it.
Apup did as she was told, and she sucked the three people dry.
Liu Jia and the three of them turned into human beings. They could no longer die. Their bodies floated with the water in the well and appeared in front of the people of Liu Village who were waiting outside.
This was more terrifying than dying from drinking well water, and the people in the village were frightened.
"What a sin!" the village chief lamented, "It's my fault. I shouldn't have let you move the rocks above, and I shouldn't have let you use the water here. God is going to destroy our Willow Village!"
A puppet at the bottom of the well heard this voice, and she began to talk to them:
"Do you want to live? If you want to live, just do what I say!"
This voice startled the people in Liucun, but the village chief still endured his fear and asked:
“Who are you? What do you want us to do?”
A-pup’s voice was ethereal, coming from the bottom of the well:
“I am your ancestor. I have been at the bottom of the well for hundreds of years, practicing a powerful secret technique. If I practice it successfully, I can become an immortal.”
“When the time comes, I will include your Willow Village under my protection, and I can even teach you how to practice and make you immortal.”
"As long as you help me find a few people... Of course, if you don't want to, then just wait for death. If you drink the water from the well, without me, you will all be dead within a month."
Everyone cherishes his life, and no one wants to die.
Only by following the words of the woman at the bottom of the well would they have a chance to survive.
What's more, when she becomes an immortal, they can follow her and live forever. What a temptation!
The greed in the people of Liucun emerged again.
