Chapter 7: The Master Who Gave the Necklace
Although I do not know whose phone number this is, I also lack the confidence to believe that I can escape.
Uncle San, mustering his spirit, spoke up, "Everyone should go back and check if your own wells are like this as well..."
That night, my parents did not dare to sleep, as they feared that they would continue to have that terrifying dream.
"Did you dream last night?" my mother asked.
How is this possible? At this moment, my mother also furrowed her brows. Everyone in the village is dreaming; how could it be that I am the only one not dreaming?
What does this represent
At that moment, my father suddenly looked at me and said, "That day, did you take the key from the pillar's house and give it to that woman, allowing her to escape?"
Upon hearing me call them back to the room, the two nodded and walked towards the room
My father soon returned to my great-uncle's house as well, and everyone gradually arrived.
So I asked, "Dad, whose phone is this?"
Fortunately, our family had just filled the water before. My dad can only find humor in this situation.
Now that the well is no longer usable, does that not mean that the livelihoods of the villagers can no longer be guaranteed
Some timid individuals are afraid to move forward any longer
My parents and I returned home with heavy hearts
Is it that when the shoes reach the bedside, everyone will see the owner of those shoes
I also feel utterly perplexed and bewildered. Last night, I clearly spoke with them, and they nodded in agreement, yet now they all seem to have forgotten.
When I arrived at the edge of the well, I saw a pool of bloodstains nearby, emanating a foul odor that was quite unpleasant to smell
Everyone who witnessed this scene also began to feel a bit anxious
My family has three water tanks. For convenience, my father usually fills the tanks to the brim in advance, so when we need water, we can directly draw from the tanks
The others also followed the third uncle as they walked away
Not only do they themselves not sleep, but they also force me to stay awake.
But just at the moment I was distracted, I turned my head and found that my parents had fallen asleep at some point without my noticing
I am also curious to ask, "Did you dream last night? What did you dream about?"
I received a note and remembered the phone number written on it
But this certainly cannot be a solution
I saw that the bucket was filled to the brim with a bright red liquid. It should not be blood, as there was no metallic smell, but it certainly had a rather foul odor.
How much water does everyone have at home? Please report it. We are all from the same village, and we are like one family. We cannot just stand by and watch others die of thirst. Uncle San has spoken up, mainly because there are a few families that do not have any water tanks to store water. If no one provides support, it is estimated that they will be on the verge of dying of thirst in just a few days.
When my father looked at me with those eyes, I felt an overwhelming sense of panic, as if I were caught in a picture book. I knew that I could not escape this beating. Throughout my life, I have never successfully deceived my father; he has always been able to discern the truth from my reactions.
So I woke them up and let them go to the room to sleep
After speaking, my father turned and went outside. When he returned, he handed me a note with a phone number written on it
They actually woke up so early after going to bed so late last night
The third uncle was drawing water there, and soon he brought up a bucket of water. I curiously leaned over to take a look
After all, in my view, it is because I let Lin Wanwan go that everyone has suffered this hardship
So I nodded slightly, then shrank my head back, preparing to face a beating
The water source in the village is the well; whether for bathing, eating, or washing clothes, it all relies on the water drawn from the well
The moment I think of this, a sudden chill runs through my heart
The note is clearly quite old, having already yellowed somewhat
Who knows what will happen after drinking this thing
I found myself idly watching a television series, and by the time I started to feel a bit drowsy, my parents still appeared not to be ready for bed
He directly discarded the bucket in his hand
I nodded and said, "No, I was still puzzled. At twelve o'clock, you two suddenly fell asleep. I called for a long time before you woke up. Even after waking up, you didn't say anything and went straight to the room to sleep."
At this point, my father let out a sigh, and a hint of nostalgia appeared in his eyes. He slowly began to speak, recounting the events of that year.
That night, I did not sleep well; the dogs in the village kept barking, making it impossible for me to fall asleep
But I caused you to be unable to leave... I said softly.
"Did you not sleep last night?" my mother inquired at this moment.
But since my father spoke to me so seriously, it must be useful
However, the imagined slap did not come down; I only felt my father's large hand gently patting my head, "Good child, you did nothing wrong in this matter. In the future, when you encounter someone you can help, you should do the same."
At that moment, I realized that my father also wanted to save Lin Wanwan, but for various reasons, he did not take action
To speak frankly, this is a very serious matter
"It was just like the dream before, but that pair of shoes took a step forward and entered the door..." My mother seemed to recall that dream, and her expression turned incredibly grim.
Although the situation is extremely desperate at the moment, everyone has not yet lost their humanity, and they are all reporting the water situation at home
The two individuals exchanged glances, both at a loss for words
At this moment, Uncle San was also starting to lose his composure
My family and I, along with my parents, returned home. After my father drew water from the well, the three of us gasped in surprise.
"How is this possible? How could blood possibly come from the well water?" Uncle San did not believe it and directly walked towards the well
At that time, I was extremely tired and didn't think much about it; I just went back to my room to sleep.
When my parents opened their eyes, I sensed that something was amiss. How should I put it? It felt lifeless, and they appeared somewhat distracted.
When I looked at the time on the wall, it was only 5:30
Uncle San also forced himself to remain calm and said, "Don't be anxious or flustered. Speak clearly and explain what exactly has happened"
"I would rather die than see you become someone who turns a blind eye to death," my father said, then sighed, "However, I am not in a position to educate you, after all, I did not intervene at that time..."
I smell it and immediately feel dizzy, wanting to vomit
I glanced at my parents on the sofa, thinking about sleeping there; they might catch a cold
I have just stated the matter
I spoke up and said, "No, I didn't have the dream you mentioned yesterday."
Only after Uncle San finished organizing did everyone get to leave first
"Yangzi, weren't we watching television in the living room? Why did you go back to the room to sleep?" My mother looked at me with a face full of fear. It was obvious that they had woken up in the room and were confused about what had happened, so they came to ask me.
Shoes, took a step forward
It was not until around 2 or 3 o'clock that they gradually stopped calling me, and it was then that I finally fell into a deep sleep, only to be awakened by my parents.
It is no different from the home of my great-uncle, consisting of a red liquid akin to blood, exuding an unbearable stench, and is utterly unsuitable for use.
If a family uses water sparingly, three tanks of water can last for ten to fifteen days
One of the individuals lit a cigarette and smoked half of it in one go, finally catching his breath before speaking, "Just now we went to fetch water, but all the water drawn from the well was blood..."
Those few individuals were clearly terrified, running over with large strides while crawling on the ground.
That means the well water is no longer usable, as all the water drawn is a liquid resembling blood
The esteemed person who gifted you the necklace, if he is able to come, should be able to save everyone in our village
The living room light remained on throughout the night, as if this were the only way for my parents to feel at ease
Everyone suddenly became flustered and disoriented
I really want to say that I did not dream of that dream, but seeing my parents' expressions, I cannot bear to say it out loud, so I can only wait with them in the living room.
You did not have that dream, which indicates that the woman may remember your kindness and does not have the intention to harm you. If you are able to go out, you can make this call
I looked up and saw that it was already 12 o'clock
