Chapter 3 White bones appear in dry wells on rainy nights

The courtyard is deep, shrouded in the cold and desolate silence, the sycamore tree is isolated, with endless loneliness and sorrow.

It was raining in the sky, drizzling, and the fine water dripped quietly along the eaves, making a circle of ripples on the bluestone slab, as if sighing or trying to stay.

Yunxi's eyes were like a pool of clear water, staring at the drizzle floating outside the window, allowing the rain to fly on her face, wet her hair, and the mist filled her, like a cicada's wings covering her graceful body.

The air was very cold, but she didn't care.

Aunt Huang.After a long silence, Yunxi spoke gently, turned around, and said to the nanny who had been waiting respectfully at the door.

Here, Miss, what's wrong?Huang Ying responded and walked to Yunxi to look at her. She saw that there were still two lines of tears on her young lady's fair face, and her slightly frown eyebrows were full of haggardness.

Three days have passed since the strange incident in the bath room. During this period, Yunxi seemed to have lost her soul, without thinking about food and food, without saying anything, and staying in the boudoir all day long. Huang Ying was worried about her safety, so she kept waiting at the door. Seeing that the lady was willing to speak out, her heart was quietly relieved.

You said, why is this huge courtyard no one cares about?Yunxi looked a little lonely, and this question made Huang Ying a little stunned.

Ah?Miss, since the wife and the master went out to do business, they have not come back for so long, and occasionally guests come to visit but they are still in vain. Over time, there are naturally fewer people coming.Huang Ying paused for a moment and then replied in detail.

I always feel that there is something missing here.Yunxi lowered her head and whispered, not knowing what she was thinking about.

Miss, I know that the incident a few days ago was indeed extremely strange, but you also saw that the ghost was destroyed. Don’t care too much, don’t destroy your body.Huang Ying persuaded worriedly.

I'm not in a state of mind. Aunt Huang has been with me these days. I will definitely be tired. You should rest early and go back first, don't worry about me.Yunxi spoke softly, and a smile appeared on her face, which had not yet dissipated.

This...well, okay.Huang Ying was about to refuse, but after hesitating for a moment, she still pointed her head.

She knew Yunxi's temperament well and knew that she would definitely not be able to persuade her, so she simply let the lady be alone and accompany her earlier tomorrow. Huang Ying put a lacquer box in her hand on the big table in the house. There were various dishes and exquisite pastries contained in the bowls and plates. She gave Yunxi a few instructions and then left.

The sky gradually became drizzling, the night was as cool as water, the drizzle outside the window was swaying, and the candles were swaying in the window. Yunxi sat alone in front of the desk, without any intention of eating, picked up a book with his slender hands and flipped through it aimlessly.

The sandalwood rose and lingered in the house. There were so many trivial matters in my heart that I could not read the book in my hand. After closing the book, Yunxi took out the bag in her arms, took out the round bead that looked like glass, and took out the glass-shaped round bead, and took a closer look.

These days, she would study the beads that were formed when she had nothing to do, but she didn't see anything special. Yunxi took an oil lamp close to her and let the bright candlelight look at the beads so that she could see it more clearly.

There were a few white star dots inside the bead, embedded in the center. Yunxi approached her beautiful eyes, and the surface of the bead reflected her beautiful pupils. She was trying to see more clearly, but she vaguely heard crying sounds coming from outside the house.

Yunxi was shocked, turned her hand and took the beads in her palm back into her bag, then stood up and pushed open the creaking wooden door. It was pitch black outside the room, and only the sound of raindrops came. She had doubts in her heart, could it be that she had heard it awkward?

Just as he was thinking about this, the strange crying sound came from the deep again. Yunxi heard it clearly now. It was indeed the crying sound, desolate and sad. With intermittent sobs and sobs, it was impossible to tell whether it was a man or a woman, but based on his instinct, the crying owner was not old!

How could there be no crying in this courtyard? The strange meaning is self-evident. Yunxi felt afraid, but somehow she couldn't control her curiosity, and that a bit ridiculous guess. Could this cry be him...

As soon as this thought came to an end, it was no longer controllable.

The dark and cold blood seeped out from the rotten corpse, covering the sky and the earth. The rain in the sky gradually became heavier, and it fell to the ground, making a crisp sound like a slap of water.

The eaves and corners of the courtyard building are blurred by darkness. From a distance, they look like bloody faces. The rain and mist make everything wet. The trees and soil are like skin ulcers, filling the air with a suffocating smell.

Yunxi, carrying a dark silk lantern, looked for the source of the crying, and walked alone in the winding corridor. The entire corridor was pitch black, and nothing could be seen except a circle of hazy light under her feet.

Walking out of the corridor, Yunxi followed the sound to the backyard, not caring about the rain. She walked around a lotus pond, hovered past a pavilion, and passed through a bamboo forest in the shade behind the rockery. Along the way, she could see whip-like jointed bamboo roots hanging down from the walls.

The shadows of trees are staggered, the road surface is getting smaller, and there is only a small path made of pebbles left on the ground. Because few people walk around, the growing wild flowers and plants are almost unable to take steps.

Yunxi walked carefully, and the crying that attracted her gradually became clear. The path was winding and covered with strange stones and lush green plants. After walking, I found that this place led to a secluded corner in the courtyard.

Few people come here. The dilapidated and quaint gray-green walls are covered with mottled old marks. Some courtyard walls are covered with dense green creeping vines, which extend down to the ground. Abandoned well that has been abandoned for a long time.

The well is quite old, with a corner of the wellhead, exposed blue bricks inside, and thick moss around it. It has been disrepair and looks dilapidated, as if it will collapse into ruins at any time.

Yunxi was surprised. She had always liked to stay in the boudoir and didn't walk much. Even if she was walking in her home yard, she would not come to this remote place, so she had little impression of this well.

However, the strange cry came from the bottom of the well, and the sound was not loud, but it could be transmitted from the corner of the backyard to the boudoir of Yunxi through so many trees and rocks in this environment covered by rain.

Hiss... Yunxi took a deep breath to try to calm down her uneasiness, her towering chest became more and more erect, and the resentful crying sounded like a big hand and kept grabbing her heart.

It seemed that there was only the sound of rain, crying, and heavy heartbeat in the world. She moved to the well, bent down and looked at the bottom of the well.

With the hunchback of the silk lamp in my hand, I saw duckweed floating on the water not far from the well entrance, and the rain as big as beans splashed with dense splashes, making it impossible to see the bottom of the well and to know what the crying sound was.

The rain wet Yunxi's whole body, and her skirt wrapped around her delicate body, and a hint of coldness penetrated into her bone marrow. She ignored it, gritted her silver teeth, squatted beside the well, stretched out her slender hands to remove the duckweed on the well surface.

A circle of orange lights reflected the dark water surface, like a drop of a woman's tears. The duckweed spread out and soon gathered with the water waves. The effect was very little. Yunxi sighed and wanted to give up, but the well surface suddenly became strange, and several bubbles as big as eggs boiled. Something seemed to float out of the bottom of the well. When he looked closely, it turned out to be a pile of human bones that were scattered.

The crescent white bones floated across the water, and there was also a conspicuous skull, half-covered on the water surface, and the whole picture was invisible, and the crying sound came from this bone!

Boom!!A sudden thunder sounded, and dazzling lightning teared the sky apart. The whole night quickly collapsed. The surrounding scenery was pale in an instant, but it was quickly pitch black, as if countless crying ghosts had no way to escape, their souls were naked and stiff, and the vision was slightly broken, and the remaining blurred white light spots, overlapping huge black tree shadows, tearing the night out in despair.

Ah!!Suddenly, he saw the bones, and the sound of thunder, Yunxi's hair stood up, and the silk lantern in his hand almost fell off.

In this sour wind and rain, the pile of rotten white bones on the well surface, the sad crying became much sharper. Yunxi was stiff all over, and the cold sweat that oozed out of her body was soon washed away by the rain.

Why is there a bunch of human bones in the abandoned well in the home yard? Who is the deceased?

What the hell is going on?!

There were too many questions in Yunxi's heart, and the waves were not settled and the strange things that followed made her almost breathless, and her fragile nerves seemed to be about to break when they touched.

Yunxi didn't notice that at this moment, in this corner swallowed by darkness, a strange red slowly appeared behind her, gradually expanding, and a pale hand stretched out from the darkness and stretched towards her white and tender neck...

Miss, why did you come to this place?!And it rains so heavily, why don’t you hold an umbrella?A familiar voice broke the slim atmosphere. It turned out to be the nanny Huang Ying. She had a solemn expression and put her hand on Yunxi's shoulder to ask. While speaking, she moved the red oil-paper umbrella that was being held towards Yunxi to cover her with rain.

hiss!!Ah!!!Huang Ying suddenly appeared behind her, which made Yunxi, who was already highly nervous and fearful, screamed and almost fainted. She finally recovered and her pretty face turned pale.

Huang...Aunt Huang?You're here no matter how much.Yunxi's body was still trembling uncontrollably, her tone was a little tired, and she seemed to be still in fear, but when she saw the visitor, she was a little calmer when she saw her nanny who had been with her since she was a child.

Miss, are you okay?Huang Ying immediately supported the weak willow, which was a little unable to stand on her body like a wind-like wind.

It's okay... By the way, look at that well!There was actually... there... Yunxi was pointing at the abandoned well under her feet. Before she finished speaking, she suddenly stopped. An incredible look appeared in her beautiful eyes, and she stared at the wellhead.

I saw that the abandoned well was so high that it was about to flow out of the wellhead. Now, it was a dry well that had dried up. The water and the floating human bones were gone!!

this??What's wrong with this?!There was clearly a human bone here just now. Yunxi's face suddenly changed. She couldn't believe what was happening in front of her. She lay unwillingly on the edge of the wellhead, leaning forward to look at the bottom of the well. With the faint candlelight of the silk lamp, she only saw the thick mud and many unknown green wild grass below.

Miss, Miss, let’s go quickly, here, you can’t come here!Huang Ying heard the lady mention the human bones, and her expression changed slightly, as if she was worried. She reached out to pull Yunxi up and wanted to take her away, but Yunxi stubbornly threw it away.

Three days ago, a strange child appeared inexplicably. He said it was my ‘brother’, which sounded ridiculous. However, for some reason, I actually chose to believe it in my heart... But later, he disappeared. Tonight, another strange thing happened again. Although I don’t know if it was related to him, this time I had decided, and I must find out the truth!Yunxi spoke slowly, her tone was calm but firm and powerful. When she finished the last word, she suddenly made an unexpected move, and actually raised her legs to the wellhead, trying to jump into the well to seek the truth.

Ah!!This sudden jump shocked Huang Ying beside her. Fortunately, she reacted quickly and rushed past her. She wrapped her hands around Yun Xiying's waist and hugged her tightly. The two of them leaned back together and rolled on the mud surface, with soil and broken grass staining their whole body.

Let me go, why, why don’t you let me go, why... Yunxi’s voice choked, and tears came out again without knowing it. She was almost crazy, and evil and strange things were constantly happening. How could a girl bear the blows and tortures brought by it?

Miss, don’t... don’t be unable to think too far. There is indeed someone buried in the well...And you... used to be, indeed... did... have a younger brother!!Huang Ying whimpered, sobbing intermittently, but her hands hugged Yun Xi even tighter.

What?!I was still breaking free from Huang Ying's arms, and Yunxi, who wanted to jump into the well again, heard this, and his whole body suddenly stiffened. After a while, his delicate body began to tremble uncontrollably, and all kinds of fear, suspicion and shock in his heart were intertwined.

Huang Ying's short words were like the thunder that exploded, but it did not sound in the sky, but suddenly fell into the depths of her ears...

The rain was getting heavier and heavier, as if countless silver whips were hanging down from the sky, whipping hard on the ground, brutally raging the world. The roaring roar covered the deep courtyard, and a girl cried faintly and helplessly.

Water splashes, rain flows on the muddy ground, and finally gathers around the wellhead, amazes a lot. I just don’t know if this seemingly impermanent thing is fueled by the wind...
