But Gu An knew very well that the weight he carried on his shoulders last night was definitely not empty.
Visually, you can create illusions to confuse yourself; but how to confuse yourself tactilely?
So what was it that I carried on my shoulders last night?
Gu An thought for a while, picked up a stone in the yard and threw it into the well.
"Dong~"
The stone fell to the bottom of the well, making a dull sound.
Nothing different.
After throwing a few more stones, but there was still no difference, Gu An jumped into the well under Chen Muzhi's surprised gaze.
"Bang~"
With his feet stepping on the solid earth at the bottom of the well, Gu An knelt down and touched a handful of the earth and then the well wall.
Very dry.
This shows that the well has been dry for a long time.
Originally, Gu An was going to feel around on the wall at the bottom of the well to see if there were any bricks that looked like a mechanism, but since it had dried up for a long time, there was no need.
He tapped his feet lightly on the well wall and reached the ground in a few steps.
"Brother, what are you doing?"
Chen Muzhi asked doubtfully.
"Last night, when I was carrying water, you also saw it, right?"
Gu An patted the dust on his hands.
Chen Muzhi paused and nodded.
"But the well is dry. I went down just now to check. The land below and the walls of the well are all dry, and they have been dry for a long time."
Gu An said slowly.
Chen Muzhi frowned: "What we saw last night may have been an illusion. Just like what you said, brother, the scene you saw was different from what I saw."
Gu An shook his head and said: "I put it on my shoulder last night. It has weight, which means it is definitely not empty."
"Then, where does the water in it come from?"
Chen Muzhi scratched his head and said in confusion.
Gu An pondered for a long time: "Let's take a look at it in the evening."
He turned around and sat down directly by the well.
Chen Muzhi was stunned: "Ah! Brother, do you want to sit here until night!?"
"What's wrong?" Gu An said calmly.
"Uh... no! No, there's nothing wrong with it. As long as you're happy, that's fine!"
Smiling, Chen Muzhi reached out and touched the cold stone wall beside the well, and sat down.
"Aren't you going back?"
"No need, I think it's safest to be by your side, brother!"
Seeing this, Gu An paid no attention to Chen Muzhi.
Although it is only morning now, Gu An has already begun to wait quietly for night to fall.
At the window of the room in the yard, five pairs of eyes stared at Gu An and Chen Muzhi outside.
"What are they doing?"
"They're not going to sit here forever, are they?"
"Sit for a day?"
"Is it so powerful? Last night, so many people were frightened and eliminated immediately. Can't we hide for two days?"
"It's okay, as long as you don't rob us."
…
Afternoon, on the hillside.
Gu An and Chen Muzhi sat by the well all morning, and naturally fell into the eyes of Yang Ling and others.
"Haha, it's interesting. Seeing as he looks like this, he is planning to wait until night." Zhang Tianshuo stroked his beard and smiled.
"It seems from last night that he is quite courageous, but I don't know if he can be as calm as last night tonight."
Yang Lingruo said something pointedly.
…
In the dark night, it flowed into the Village of Resentment silently.
Many houses had to close their doors, and even the windows were closed tightly this time.
They all thought that if they stayed in the house for two days, they would be promoted naturally.
But tonight, it is destined not to be peaceful.
"Boy! It's time to fertilize."
"knew!"
"..."
"Xiaoxi, have you seen my Xiaotao?"
"I saw it! In... Huh? Where is Xiaotao? Were you playing with Xiaoxi just now? Oh! Xiaoxi remembers it, Aunt Yun, don't worry, Xiaoxi will help you dig him out!"
"..."
"Tao Ju, the firewood is gone. Let's chop some more and bring them back."
"Okay! I'll get the knife!"
"..."
The dark and cold voice came from the stone tablet again, swayed through the streets and alleys, and floated into every house in Resentment Village.
The boys and girls who were still asleep on the street and in the house couldn't help but shudder.
One by one, strangely, they slowly floated out from the swirling door, returning to where they were yesterday.
In the room where Gu An stayed yesterday.
Without Gu An and Chen Muzhi today, the atmosphere in the whole room was not as depressing as yesterday. Instead of yesterday's nervousness, the remaining three people were in the mood to chat together.
As we chatted, we got to know Gu An.
"Hey, tell me, why haven't Gu An and Chen Muzhi come back yet?"
"Didn't someone say it during the day? The two of them were sitting by the dry well in the courtyard behind."
"Gu An is fine. He was the only one who communicated with those weird people yesterday and didn't faint."
"Nonsense, he is so ruthless during the day, how can he be less courageous? Besides, he is still a policeman, and he may have killed someone before!"
At this time, they also heard sounds coming from outside.
"Hey, be quiet, it seems the time has come."
"It's okay. It's okay if we don't go out."
"Boom!"
Suddenly, there was an unexpected knock on the door.
The three teenagers looked at each other in the darkness.
"Gu An and the others are back?"
"I guess, I'll open the door and have a look."
The boy on the bed near the door rolled over and got up.
"Dong dong."
Only two breaths passed before the gentle knock on the door sounded again.
"coming."
"Squeak!"
The young man frowned slightly and opened the door.
The next moment, I was stunned.
Wearing a gray robe, holding a hatchet in his hand, and carrying an empty backpack behind him, a man whose face could not be seen appeared in front of him.
"My name is Tao Ju, sir. Do you have any firewood here?"
The cold voice echoed in the ears of the three teenagers in the room.
"Firewood...firewood? No!"
In panic, the young man in front of the door swung, grabbed the door and tried to close it.
But he was resisted by the man in front of the door.
"Sir, I have already seen it."
Tao Ju stretched out his free left hand and pointed toward the house.
"Where...where?"
The young man looked back mechanically.
Does he want a table?
"If you want...just take it!"
When the young man turned his head again and saw the person in front of him, his pupils instantly dilated.
Densely scarred scars covered the entire face, irregular eyes protruded, a mouth divided into countless parts was grinned, and he slowly exhaled.
"Master... then I'm coming in..."
"ah!"
…
Chen Muzhi felt the cool breeze blowing from nowhere and tightened his clothes.
"Brother, how long do we have to wait?"
"Soon."
Gu An closed his eyes, folded his arms and said something.
Wow~~Shua~~
The wind suddenly became stronger than before.
The withered branches of the big tree nearby were blown, making a swishing sound.
Suddenly, Gu An suddenly felt something and opened his eyes.
"boom!"
The courtyard door is open.
Tao Yun carried the bucket and entered the courtyard.
Unlike yesterday, this time he was followed by a woman in red.
"Giggle!"
The woman in red twisted her body, shook her head and floated to the door of the room in the courtyard.
