C55

Looking at Shen Tuo getting smaller and smaller, Zi Sang Ming and I kept descending. Just thinking about how we were going to be torn into shreds by those disgusting Bara's hands, I felt extremely unwilling.

Zi Sang Ming held me tightly with both arms, as if he wanted to rub me into his arms and try not to let those withered hands touch me.

Just as I was about to fall into the river, all of my anger and fear came together into a final roar. "Ahhhhhhhh!"

I abruptly opened my eyes and sat up along with him. Shen Tuo was beside me, and I didn't know when he had lit a bonfire. I panted heavily as I looked at Zishan Ming, who was lying beside me. His eyebrows were knitted tightly together and his eyelids trembled a few times. Then, he woke up as well.

I learned for the first time that ghosts can sleep, too.

Suddenly, the scene from before flashed through my mind. I hugged Zishan Ming and then Shen Tuo let go of the rope and we fell into a cliff …

No, not a cliff, a moat.

Seeing that we had woken up, Shen Tuo hurriedly walked in front of me and asked anxiously, "How is it? Are you injured?"

I looked at Shen Tuo, who was standing in front of me, and felt a lingering fear in my heart. I quickly retreated until I bumped into Zishan Ming, who was sitting behind me, "Hmph, do you know if I'm injured? It was you who threw us down! "

As soon as I said that, my head hurt and I rubbed it with my hand.

When she looked at Shen Tuo again, she noticed that he was frowning with a suspicious look on his face: "What are you talking about?"

I was just about to argue with Shen Tuo when Zishan Ming suddenly stopped me and said, "Rest well first. That should be an illusion."

"So, is this Shen Tuo for real?"

After hearing me say this, Shen Tuo's face was filled with dissatisfaction as he welcomed them, "Yo, who was it that fainted on the stone bridge? I was the one who carried you guys down! You've just woken up and you're already refusing to acknowledge me! "

It was only then that I realized that I had fainted on the stone bridge, so everything that I had just experienced was an illusion. I suddenly remembered something and looked down at my feet. I didn't accept this until I found that my shoes were just right for my feet.

However, Shen Tuo did not give up. He walked up to him and mocked: "What? Aren't you afraid that you're still dreaming? Did you dream that I was a bad guy? "

Listening to Shen Tuo's words, although I was filled with anger, it wasn't good for me to flare up. After all, I dream every day, and I dream every night. I really don't know what I dream every day …]

At this moment, I suddenly remembered something in my dreams and instantly felt my cheeks burn. I looked at Zishan Ming and asked tentatively: "Is our dreams the same?"

Zi Sang Ming seemed to have seen through my thoughts and calmly looked at me. He said what might be the first unrighteous sentence in his life: "Then, do you hope it's the same?"

I lowered my head in embarrassment and ignored him, wanting to quickly find another topic to talk about. Because I suddenly remembered, in the dream, I was actually kissed by Sang Ming!

However, at this moment, my mind is like a paste, always thinking of the scene of Zishan Ming kissing me, how could I think of anything else.

However, Shen Ta soon saved me.

Shen Tuo sat back beside the bonfire, used a branch to stir the burning firewood, and began to speak: "I've discovered that the water in the moat under this bridge will emit a kind of gas that can make people lose consciousness and make them fall asleep at night." Saying this, he pointed the branch at the two of us, "Just like you two."

During our conversation, I gradually understood the ins and outs of the matter. It turned out that while Zishan Ming and I were waiting for Shen Tuo on the bridge, we were surrounded by the highest concentration of the special substance scattered by the river, so we quickly fell into a coma. After that, it was Shen Tuo who wet the towel with water to cover his face before safely lifting both of us off the bridge.

It occurred to me to look around me. We were on the other side of the Peach Blossom Bridge, in the northwest suburb.

Of course, I still looked back at the Peach Blossom Bridge with lingering fear in my heart. As expected, it seemed as though nothing had happened to me.

I tried to stand up and randomly jumped a few times. I realised that apart from lying on the ground for a long time with my body stiff, there were no other injuries. On the other hand, Zi Sang Ming was injured by the vines behind him.

I didn't want to waste too much time, so I stood up and prepared to look for the well in my memory. Zi Sang Ming, on the other hand, sat beside the bonfire and didn't move again.

However, before I could take more than a few steps, Shen Tuo immediately called out to me, "There's no need to look for me. You two have slept for so long, how can I just sit there like this? Here."

I looked in the direction that he was pointing. As expected, a hole appeared in my line of sight.

There was a huge rock covering the well, and it was surrounded by gravel and hay. It was obviously even more messy than the surrounding area. I looked at the well and wanted to walk over, but I couldn't move no matter how hard I tried.

I looked back at Zishan Ming. He seemed to understand that I was asking for help, so he stood up and walked over to me. He took my hand and walked with me.

I stood by the well and breathed heavily. I had a feeling that the big rock in front of me would suddenly crack and Zhao Xue would fly out of the well and bring me into the well.

I pushed back hesitantly. Zi Sang Ming seemed to understand and blocked me behind him.

I raised my head to look at the sky and saw that the sky was already starting to turn white. It seemed that the night before dawn had already passed and the sky would soon brighten.

When I thought that the sky was about to brighten, I started to look forward to it.

At first, I wasn't so afraid of the surrounding peach branches, but I started to be afraid of the unknown well in front of me. I didn't dare let Sang Ming move the rock away because I wasn't sure what was inside.

But I knew that no matter how much I tried to escape, the stone would still be moved away. Zhao Xue's corpse would still be scooped out of the stone.

Shen Tuo lit a cigarette and sat cross-legged on a pile of hay. He did not say anything, nor did he take the next step.

"Shen Tuo, what are you doing?" I asked, puzzled.

Shen Tuo, on the other hand, looked like an old man who had gone through many vicissitudes of life. He covered himself with a ring of smoke and said in a hoarse voice, "Wait for daybreak."

I didn't know whether to laugh or cry because of Shen Tuo's literary appearance. I didn't understand why he had to wait until daybreak, but for Zishan Ming, who was walking in the same direction as Shen Tuo. At different times, Zisheng Ming didn't sit down, but instead paced to the side and stood there quietly, as if he was thinking about something.

"Why do we have to wait until morning? Is it because you are afraid? "

Shen Tuo looked at me in disdain and took another drag from his cigarette: "Are you stupid? If you pick up a corpse at night and it turns into a zombie, you'll be the one to hit it!"

I was stunned and could only hear Zi Sang Ming's voice as if he was holding back a laugh. Then, Zi Sang Ming walked over and blocked me behind him. He coldly said to Shen Tuo, "Alright, don't go overboard."

Only then did I react. However, I still felt uncomfortable with Shen Tuo's loud roar, so I simply ignored Shen Tuo and followed Zishan Ming to a clean place to wait for daybreak.

Perhaps it was because my imagination was running wild, time passed by really quickly. In just a short moment, I saw a golden light appear in the sky, even though it broke through the thick clouds and shone on my face. I immediately covered my eyes with my hands.

Only then did I react and quickly found the umbrella from the book. However, Zishan Ming seemed to be thinking about something and frowned with a serious expression. I couldn't bear to disturb him, so I propped myself up and raised my hand, hiding him in the shadows.

After that, the clouds in the sky started to clear up and the sky became bright. Zi Sang Ming also returned to his original state. He silently took the umbrella from my hand and rubbed my sore arm with his other hand.

At this moment, I heard Shen Tuo standing up from the dry grass behind me. He kept slapping his pants.

Saying that, Zi Sang Ming also walked over. Before Shen Tuo could get his hands on it, Zi Sang Ming's finger lightly tapped on it and the stone that had been covering the entrance of the well moved to the side like a light plastic bubble.

"Mister Zishan Ming, since you're so capable, then I'll have to trouble you to bring the corpse back!" It was unknown if Shen Tuo was jealous or not, but he actually started to argue with Sang Ming.

I could no longer bear to listen any further. I walked to Shen Tuo's side and threatened, "Besides, do you believe that I won't push you down right now?"

Seeing me like this, Shen Ta thoughtfully smiled, and then began to look into the well.

I was also extremely curious. As I tugged on the corner of Zi Sang Ming's shirt, I also looked into the well. The bottom of the well didn't seem to be deep, but because the light couldn't reach it, the bottom of the well was still dark.

It was only when Shen Tuo brought a powerful flashlight that we finally saw the situation in the well. However, to my surprise, there was no water in the well at all. From the looks of it, it must have been dry for decades.

So, why did Zhao Xue tell me her body was surrounded by water?

"This well is so close to the moat, why did it get killed?" I asked tentatively. What I really wanted to ask was if the body had flowed into the moat through the tunnel inside the well.

He took out a bundle of ropes from his backpack, which suddenly reminded me of last night's dream. I originally thought that since Shen Tuo didn't have a rope, it must be a dream, but when I saw Shen Tuo's rope, my memory started to blur.

As I watched Shen Tuo walk towards me with the rope in hand, I unconsciously stepped back and crashed into Zishan Ming's body. Then, I looked at Zishan Ming in horror, as if he understood what I meant.
