My name is Yang Fan, and what I am going to tell you now is a story that is true and weird enough to be unbelievable.
The story has to start with the old well at the entrance of the village. This year, the south has been hit by floods, but the north has encountered a severe drought that has not been seen in a century. The village chief organized a well-digging team to dig the old well at the entrance of the village to see if it can
To provide water and solve the village's water problem, my father and I are also part-time workers recruited by the well digging team.
When the well-digging team was about to start work, they were stopped by a man named Liu Banxian from the village. He said that this old well had existed for hundreds of years, and many people had committed suicide by jumping into it since ancient times. During the eight-year war of resistance against Japan, the little Japanese lost it again.
Many corpses have gone down, and the old well cannot be dug anymore, as it is easy to attract the ghosts of the dead.
The village chief and I don't believe in evil. If there are so many corpses down there, it's even more important to dig them up. Maybe we can dig up the remains of two martyrs. If we report them to the county, we can get part of the reward. And the whole
This is the lowest point in the village and is the most likely to have water. If we don't dig, everyone in our village may die.
When Liu Banxian saw that we didn't listen to him, he immediately became anxious and held on to the village chief. Finally, he slept directly on the wellhead. The village chief had nothing to do with him and said that when Liu Banxian returned, we would dig again at night so as not to delay things.
At twelve o'clock at night, the well digging team gathered at the old well again. Unexpectedly, Liu Banxian came again and refused to dig. The village chief saw that it was late at night and if he didn't start work, things would really be delayed, so he called me dad.
He tied up Liu Banxian and ordered my father to keep an eye on him to prevent him from getting into trouble again.
Who knew that Liu Banxian was so strong? Even though he was tied up, my father couldn't stop him. He jumped up and down to the edge of the old well. My father stepped forward to stop him. The two of them were entangled.
The village chief was so anxious that he also pulled Liu Banxian, but something happened when he pulled him. My father lost his footing and stumbled into the well. He grabbed the rope from Liu Banxian's body and pulled him with him.
Go down.
I hurriedly looked into the well, and suddenly I broke out in a cold sweat. My heart was burning with anger, and I said, "Let's find a way to save people!"
The village chief frowned and panicked for a moment. He looked into the well with a flashlight and saw that the old well was bottomless. He said to me: "Don't worry, people must be saved, but we can't go down so rashly. Who knows what will happen?"
How deep is it down there?”
I said: "Give me a rope and I'll go down and save them!"
The village chief shook his head, grabbed me, and said, "Xiao Yang, I can understand your desire to save your father, but now is not the time to show off as a hero. We don't know what will happen next, how deep it is."
Shen doesn’t know, and if something happens to you, your father probably won’t be able to rest in peace even if he dies!”
I was so anxious that I couldn't say anything anymore, so I took a flashlight and shined it into the well. When I looked at it, my heart dropped. I couldn't find the bottom of the well with the flashlight. How deep was the well?
After some discussion, the village chief went home and brought a long rope, and then decided to let me go down on the rope to have a look. I am small and can easily get up.
Fortunately, there was no water in the well, so it was easy for me to fall down. But after the rope was released, I looked down and saw that it was still pitch black. I had no idea how deep it was. Everyone was panicked for a while.
"Dad?" I called into the well, and the echo suddenly resounded. If I fell so deep, I would probably die. My nose felt sour and I couldn't stop crying anymore.
I was pulled up by the village chief and sat on the edge of the old well to cry. As I cried, I discovered that a hand stretched out from the mouth of the well!
This is a hand covered in mud, with the index finger slightly bent. It looks like a ghost hand from hell! My heart sank suddenly. Is there really an innocent soul down there? I wanted to shout, but my throat was blocked.
I was so panicked that I couldn't shout out at all. Then I thought again, could it be my father's or Liu Banxian's hand? If it was really them, I had to go and hold it, but I was afraid it was something else. I didn't know what to do for a moment.
Done.
The hand grabbed the edge of the well twice, grabbing the edge of the old well, and then a human head popped out of the old well.
His face was dark and his hair was disheveled. When I took a closer look, it turned out to be Liu Banxian!
Liu Banxian placed his head on the stone platform at the edge of the old well. His face was extremely pale. He half-squinted his eyes and said, "Save me..."
I hurriedly ran over and grabbed him. I tried my best to pull him up. I saw that Liu Banxian was unkempt, disheveled, his body was covered with dirt, and he was in a miserable state. After I pulled him up, he staggered to the ground and sat down, mouthing loudly.
Breathing heavily.
"Where's my dad?" I asked quickly.
"Don't mention it!" Liu Banxian struggled to stand up, shook the dust off his body, looked serious, turned around and walked back to his home. I followed him hurriedly and asked, "Where's my dad?"
I almost shouted, Liu Banxian was stunned, stopped, and said coldly, "He fell to death!"
After saying these words, Liu Banxian continued to walk back without looking back. The speed became faster. I followed him again, grabbed the clothes on Liu Banxian's back and pulled him back. He didn't speak for a long time, and my hand
He also held on to Liu Banxian's clothes without letting go.
"Yang Fan, go back quickly and don't come near this old well again!"
"What should my father do?" I asked.
Liu Banxian glanced at Lao Jing tabooly, and said to me coldly: "Your father fell to death. I saw it with my own eyes. What can I do if a man is dead? I will find a way to pull him up tomorrow!"
I was half-convinced by his words, but my heart was already cold, my nose was sore, and tears kept flowing down. At this time, Liu Banxian turned around, held my hand, probably because he was afraid that I would do something stupid, and said:
"Yang Fan... please forgive me and accept the change. We will definitely bring your father up tomorrow. You can go back first."
After returning home, I was filled with grief and panic. I tossed and turned and couldn't fall asleep. I was looking forward to getting up soon so I could go rescue my dad.
Around two o'clock in the morning, I vaguely heard a burst of rapid footsteps coming from the main room. I reflexively sat up from the bed. When I listened carefully, there were indeed footsteps. I thought it was really leaking all night long.
Yu, my father just died. Is there a thief in the house?
I felt sad, thinking that this thief really knows no time. He came to steal something right after my father died. If I caught him, he would have to be beaten to death.
The noise in the house became louder and louder, and it sounded like moving. I picked up the wooden sticks in the house and walked into the main room in the dark. When I opened the door, I saw a figure sitting in the main room, with his back to me.
I was panting heavily and drinking water. I was shocked. This back reminded me so much of my father. I wanted to call him dad, but Liu Banxian said that my dad had already died down there. This man couldn't be my dad.
I then thought about it again, could it be that my father's soul has come back? After all, ordinary thieves would not sit at home and drink water so arrogantly, but the soul shouldn't be able to drink water either, right?
My heart skipped a beat, I clenched the wooden stick in my hand and pressed the light switch to see who it was!
"Yang Fan?" The man looked at the wooden stick in my hand, was stunned for a moment, and said to me doubtfully: "What...are you doing?"
There was a burst of ecstasy in my heart. This person was none other than my father. I ran over excitedly, hugged my father and said, "Dad, you are finally back! I thought... there was a thief in the house."
I originally wanted to say that I thought you were dead, but I felt wrong and quickly changed my mind.
My father nodded and said nothing. He looked exhausted. I noticed that he had a shadow, not a soul, nor a ghost!
"Liu Banxian said you were dead, which scared me to death!"
"What?" My father was cleaning the dead grass on his head. When he heard this, he stood up and looked very nervous and said to me: "Liu Banxian is back?"
I nodded and said yes, but my father frowned and said, "No, he obviously fell to death below, how could he come back?"
I was stunned for a moment and said, "Is Liu Banxian dead?"
My dad put down the cup in his hand and said seriously: "Yes, I saw him fall into the well and die!"
When I heard this, I immediately fainted. Liu Banxian said that my father was dead, and my father said that Liu Banxian was dead. Both of them said they saw it with their own eyes. Who of these two people died?
My heart skipped a beat, could it be that Liu Banxian was the real dead person? Is that the one I saw, Liu Banxian's ghost?
