Chapter Twelve: Well Two
"That well!" I remembered what the boss said to me in the hospital. Now I finally saw the well.
Don't collapse yourself, that well seems to have a strong temptation. I seem to hear someone calling me inside. I want to call Erliang to come up, but all the strength in my body disappears the moment I see the well.
It's so clean that you can't even stand still without holding on to the door handle.
"Arui, Arui, why don't you come down?"
Thank God, Erliang called me a few more times downstairs. At this moment, my lost strength miraculously returned to me. There was a sound of footsteps behind me, and Erliang ran up again and saw me leaning against the door.
Go up and ask: "What's wrong? You look so bad?"
I looked in front of me. It was just a white wall with no people and no well. Maybe all this was just my imagination and I was too tired?
I shook my head and said, "It's okay, let's go." After thinking about it, I asked, "Erliang, you have lived in this house for a long time. Have you seen anything strange?"
I clearly saw Erliang's body stiffen, then relax, and then I saw him pretending to be vicious and said: "Yes, there are a few female ghosts inside, be careful to suck you dry."
If he was pretending to be like this and joking with me, I would definitely not take it seriously, but I just saw a well on the wall and I didn't think he was really joking.
I raised my head and glanced at Erliang coldly. He obviously didn't expect such a reaction from me. He was stunned for a moment, smiled awkwardly, and said, "It's just a joke. Don't take it so seriously. We are two brothers in the same generation. I am still
Will it harm you?"
I reluctantly smiled at him and said, "I was just joking with you. Don't take it so seriously. We are two brothers in the same generation. Can I still blame you?"
Erliang laughed "haha" and said, "Let's go then." I turned around and closed the door. What I saw was still the white wall. At this moment, I found that Erliang's eyes were also looking there.
It seemed that he was saying something to the white wall with his eyes.
Is there really a ghost in this room, or is there a ghost in my conscience, or am I overthinking it, or is there a ghost in my heart?
I didn't think about it anymore. Erliang had already urged me to go to the hospital quickly. By the time we hurried to the hospital, the boss had already been transferred to the inpatient department. When we entered, he was sitting on the bed, holding the quilt with both hands.
He looked anxious. When he saw us coming in, his face immediately relaxed and he said: "Come on, come on."
Erliang and I sat in front of the boss's bed, waiting quietly for him to speak, because even we ourselves didn't know what to ask about this matter. Since he said there was something he wanted to tell us, let's give him the right to speak.
Leave it to him.
The boss looked at the door and looked extremely nervous. Erliang handed him a glass of water. He took it and drank it all. He glanced at us and said, "I am engaged in real estate. The name of the dead man is Yang Hui.
A friend of mine for many years.
He specializes in demolition and gets some cheap building materials for resale. When I first set up the company, he came to me and said he wanted to sell me a batch of old bricks because he was a friend for many years and I had just photographed one at that time.
The project also required Brick, so he agreed immediately, and he didn't owe a penny. Brick immediately gave him the money as soon as he came over.
He was very happy that day. After all, he had been a friend for many years and was really loyal. In order to express his gratitude, he made sure to treat me to dinner. Both of us drank too much that day. He told me that he had got these bricks from an old house.
." At this point, he looked at us and said, "It's the old house where we met last time."
I nodded, knowing that he was talking about my old house, but I didn't speak for fear of interrupting his train of thought. The boss continued: "Many people have seen that old house. The center is a wooden structure, and the ones outside are
It may have been built slowly later, using blue bricks, and it was those blue bricks that Yang Hui sold to me."
Yang Hui said that he sold this batch of bricks to two developers at once, but I was the most cheerful and did not owe a penny, so when he was happy, he made sure to give me a gift, saying that it was from that old
Found it in the house.”
Erliang glanced at me, and I shook my head slightly: "We checked very carefully when we moved, and we didn't leave anything valuable behind. What could Yang Hui find in it?"
The boss didn't see Erliang and I's little moves, and continued: "Yang Hui took out a jade pendant from his pocket and gave it to me, saying that he found it in an old house. I thought the color of the jade pendant was good, and I liked it very much. Yang Hui saw me
I liked this jade pendant, and I was very happy. I lowered my voice and said to me: 'Do you know where this jade pendant came from?'
I was stunned at the time: Didn’t you say you picked it up from an old house?
Yang Hui obviously saw what I was thinking. He laughed a few times and lowered his voice and said, 'Do you think this old house is a little weird?'
I was stunned again. This old house is located in the city center. Almost no one in this city knows about it. I myself often pass by it and take a look at it from a distance. Is there anything weird about it?"
At this time, I was also attracted by everything the boss said. I grew up in the old house and really didn't think there was anything weird here. Now I want to hear what is wrong with it in the eyes of an outsider.
The boss continued: "Yang Hui leaned forward and lowered his voice: 'Have you noticed that there are so many wells in this old house? I have demolished so many old houses, some are even older than this.
I've never seen that house with so many wells.'"
When the boss said this, I suddenly felt that there were indeed more wells in the old house. The old house was very big, including the front and back yards, covering an area of more than 3,000 square meters and 40 to 50 wing rooms, but the light well was just
There are no less than five people. I didn’t pay attention to this when I was growing up here. Then when I heard the boss talk about it, I realized that there are dozens of families who can’t use so many wells. So what is the purpose of drilling so many wells? At this time,
Even I think this is a bit weird.
The boss continued: "Yang Hui said that he found this jade pendant in a dry well. Originally, he wanted to remove the stones beside the dry well and sell them, but he saw some reflections at the bottom of the well. When he went down, he discovered that it was
A jade pendant.
I originally liked this jade pendant, but after hearing what he said, I felt guilty. This old house is a bit weird. They say that jade can ward off evil spirits, but what if something unexpected happens here? I want to return it.
I gave it to Yang Hui, but I was afraid that he would be unhappy, so I had to keep it first."
"Where is that jade pendant now?" I am very interested in this jade pendant that came from a dry well in my old house. There were only a few dry wells in the old house. It's a pity that Yang Hui died. Otherwise, you can ask him which dry well he came from.
I picked it up, and since I have nowhere to ask, I have to look at the jade pendant first.
The boss looked at me and said, "Sold."
"What? It's actually sold!" I always have indescribable feelings for the things in the old house. When I heard that the jade pendant was sold, I was afraid that I would never have the chance to see it again. I couldn't help but raise my voice in excitement.
.
The boss obviously didn't expect such a big reaction from me. He was startled and immediately stopped talking and looked at me. Erliang quickly comforted him: "It's okay. This friend of mine likes to collect antiques most. Maybe he is attracted to your jade pendant."
I'm interested, so I'm impatient for a moment, please tell me slowly, who did you sell this jade pendant to?"
The boss said "Oh" and said: "I was looking at that piece of jade pendant on the roadside the other day, and I couldn't think of a good way to deal with it. I gave it away because I'm afraid I'd be sorry if something evil happened, so I thought it would be a pity to throw it away.
.At this moment, a voice beside me rang: 'This piece of jade...how much do you want to sell it to me?'
I was very surprised at the time. This person didn't ask me if I wanted to sell it, but how much it would cost me to sell it to him. It seemed that he was going to buy it no matter what. I raised my head curiously and saw a man in a well-dressed suit standing in front of me.
A very simple man, staring straight at the jade pendant, as if he wanted to swallow it.
I knew that this person must like this jade pendant very much, so I offered a very high price. Unexpectedly, this person immediately asked me to follow him to the bank, took out the money and bought the jade pendant, and left happily all the way.
Don’t look back at me.”
I asked hurriedly: "Do you still remember what that person looked like?"
The boss nodded: "When I saw that man, I always felt that there was an indescribable feeling about him. And I saw that he liked this piece of jade so much, and I was worried that he would lose money if it was really a priceless treasure.
Now that I'm older, I just opened my mouth first and I can't go back on my words now, so I secretly took a photo of him with my mobile phone and wanted to find someone to follow him back to see what to do with the jade pendant."
I asked hurriedly: "Where are the photos?"
The boss picked up the phone on the pillow, opened it, found the photo, and handed the phone to me. Erliang also came up to see who bought the jade pendant.
