"Ah... candles..."
The crazy woman screamed twice and actually spoke. It turned out that she was not dumb. Hearing these two words, my mind regained a little clarity. I turned around and fetched the candle on the ground, but my left hand still held her tightly. I was afraid that if I turned around, she would run away without a trace.
He picked up a candle, put it between his lips and lit it with a lighter.
The crazy woman screamed, gestured to squat down, and drew a circle on the ground with her finger. Damn it, I asked you to lead the way, why did you draw a circle with me? Just as I was about to lift her up, I saw that she added a line under the circle. Looking closely, it looked like the edge of a well.
What does it mean? Why did she draw the edge of the well for me
The crazy woman looked up at me and still didn't understand. She stretched out her finger and dragged a line to the right along the edge of the well, quickly sketching out a cliff. Then she made a gesture, indicating that someone had jumped from here. She was talking about Shen Bing jumping down, and my heart suddenly moved, so I let go of her arm. Pointing at the cliff, I asked, "What is the connection between this place and the wellhead?"
“Blood… blood…” She said with horror on her face, but she seemed to have a speech impediment and could only utter a simple word, and her tone was very awkward.
I understood. What she meant was that there was blood under the cliff, and it was connected to the holy well. Could it be that Shen Bing would not die if she jumped down, but would be lured back into the well by the ghost in the holy well
I thought this should be the answer, so I asked anxiously: "How can I get back to the city, or will I die if I jump down?"
The crazy woman just shook her head, not sure if she could not get back into the city or if she would not die if she jumped.
I stood up and looked at the cliff, thinking that I could not go back to the ghost town, but I didn't know how deep the bottom of the cliff was. If there was a river of blood, there would be a chance to survive. Thinking of this, I asked her if there was a way to bypass this place and what was ahead.
The crazy woman shook her head and pointed to the cliff pattern she had drawn, indicating that this was the only way out. Then she made a gesture as if asking me to jump down too.
Looking at her, I suddenly became suspicious. Someone has been trying to kill me. Who knows if she is here to frame me? I grabbed her arm and asked her sternly, "Tell me the truth, how do you know the situation here?"
The crazy woman was frightened and froze in place. She shrank back but didn't break free from my hand. She then made a sleeping position for me, meaning that she had dreamed about it.
You're lying to me with this kind of nonsense. Do you think I'm only three years old? I pushed her to the edge of the cliff and said coldly, "Well, you jump down first!"
The crazy woman actually nodded, with no fear on her face. I let go of her, thinking, I'm not afraid that you will run to the horizon. With my speed, am I afraid that I can't catch up with you? The crazy woman pointed at the cliff, then pointed at me and said, "Go... Go... Faster..." After she said that, she fell headfirst. Damn, she really jumped!
This woman is really strong. She didn't even make a sound when she jumped down. It seems that she is absolutely familiar with the terrain below and knows that she will not fall to her death. I no longer hesitated. I was worried about Shen Bing's safety. Even if she didn't die after jumping down, according to the crazy woman's intention, the area below is connected to the holy well. Don't let her go back.
I put all the candles into my bag, and then walked to the edge of the cliff. Before I jumped, my right foot suddenly stepped on a small stone on the edge of the cliff, and it rolled down the stone wall with a "clatter". My heart kept jumping with the sound, and I suddenly felt a sense of fear in my heart.
