Why don't you have a normal person on board?

419 Bystander

As soon as he walked out of this small utility room, Xianhe already sensed the sharp sights around him.

These gazes were not directed at her, but at the woman who was telling some things to the door.

"Don't come out when I'm not here. Don't be afraid. I'll be back soon. It won't be long before you stay at home and wait for me, okay?"

There was a vague nasal sound coming from the room, which sounded like a "huh" in response.

After getting a response from the people in the room, the woman closed the door and then locked it to prevent outsiders from opening the door when she was not there.

But to be honest, this is nothing more than self-deception, because if someone really wants to sneak into the utility room, they can just get in through the broken glass.

After locking the door, the woman nodded to Xianhe, "Sorry for keeping you waiting, let's go."

As she spoke, she reached out and picked up a bucket next to it. The surface of the bucket looked bumpy, a bit like the surface of the moon, and there were some solidified mud on it, which must have been used for a long time.

Seeing that she had little strength and needed to hold a book in one hand and a bucket in the other, Crane stretched out her hand subconsciously and said, "Let me help you."

Unexpectedly, the woman threw away her hand suddenly, and said seriously: "No, you can't do this, I can only do this. Don't help me, you can approach me, you can be with me Talk, but definitely don't reach out to me.

"Remember the stone just now? If you want to help me, you will be the next person to hit it."

I don't know what kind of strange rules there are in this village, but the woman in front of me is not treated as an adult by the villagers, that's for sure.

As the saying goes, even if you have a dog for 20 years, you should still have feelings, let alone a real person?
This point really made Xianhe feel a little confused.

"Come with me," feeling the glaring eyes of the surrounding villagers, the woman lowered her head subconsciously, carrying the bucket in her hand, and walked towards the other edge of the village, "As long as you don't help me, Everything is easy to say."

Xianhe didn't say a word, just obediently followed behind the woman.

She was not in a hurry to hope that Tongqiu would come back quickly, and since she was not a child, she would be terrified of leaving her parents and elders, but she hoped that the two of them could split up and learn about the situation of the village from different channels.

I started with this woman who was not regarded as a human being, and Tong Qiu started with MI[-]. Everyone worked together to work more efficiently.

Soon, the woman and the crane had arrived at the so-called well.

Ji Qing had never brought the crane to Chusheng Island, and none of the survivors who leased her had ever arrived at Chusheng Island, so she didn't know what was going on with the well in front of her.

But if Tongqiu was here, he would definitely be able to recognize it at first sight. The well on Chusheng Island is exactly the same as the well in this village!
"They picked me up next to this well," the woman began to guide the crane from a long distance away. "According to what the villagers said at the time, I just lay on the ground and kept crying. All the surrounding villagers were woken up."

The crane took a look. Although there were several houses next to the well, they were all vacant. It seemed that no one lived near the well.

The woman also explained this thoughtfully, "No one can live next to the well. I heard that there have been ghosts around here before. Some villagers said that they saw the dead from the well and almost fell into it. And every time someone came to kill When I was drinking water, I would hear some voices coming from inside, so gradually no one dared to fetch water.

"As long as I can remember, the villagers have been asking me to come here to fetch water. After all, this well is the only well in the village."

A haunted well, a well with a sound, everyone keeps away from it, but only one girl comes here to draw water from childhood.

The villagers stared at her like they were looking at an animal, and they didn't even know who was throwing stones into the house to hurt her on purpose.

These villagers really didn't treat her as a human being.

"Let me say this first," the woman stopped before approaching the well, and said to the crane specially, "Don't approach the well, stay five meters away from me, and wait until I put the bucket down and bring up the water, and After you gesture, you can come back, okay?"

Although he didn't understand the reason, Xianhe still nodded and agreed, "I understand."

Carrying a bucket and books under her arm, the woman walked to the edge of the well, keeping her back to the crane.

But she didn't put the bucket down immediately.

Instead, he bent down and cast his gaze toward the depths of the well.

It is also possible that she was saying something in a low voice, but the woman kept her back to the crane, so the latter didn't know whether she had spoken or not.

However, the voice of an outsider gave the answer.

"She's talking to those things in the well again," the voice of the villagers came from the surrounding area, and the voices of discussions filled the crane's ears like flies. I dare not go near that well."

"No way, this guy was suspected to be released by the things in the well. God knows if it is the same as the dirty things in the well. If you want me to say, stay away from him. Also, don't those kids always like to go to Is it near her house? Hurry up and tell them not to go."

"It's useless to say that! Those children don't know what is going on in their minds. They feel that they are some kind of demon sage all day long. They are going to exorcise demons. Didn't you tell them that this woman is unclean? Blame you!"

The voice of discussion made Xianhe feel a little upset, she pulled the hood on her head, completely covering her appearance under the hood.

"Ok?"

Xianhe's eyebrows raised, she rubbed her eyes, suspecting that she was wrong.

At that moment, the crane seemed to see a lump of black object clinging to the edge of the wellhead, but it disappeared in the blink of an eye.

Perhaps, I should be wrong.

After bending down and whispering something towards the mouth of the well, the woman first put the books under her armpits on the edge of the well, then tied the bucket in her hand with a rope, and slowly put the bucket down.

The other end of the rope was tied to a pole stuck in the ground, so that it would not all fall into the well by accident.

It was very strenuous to drag the bucket full of water, seeing the woman's appearance, the crane couldn't help but want to go up to help.

But the surrounding villagers kept their eyes on her, as if at this moment, if the crane went up to help, they would also be isolated by them.

They would accept this stranger only if they kept treating each other coldly.

If there is only Xianhe himself, no matter what the group of people think of him, Xianhe will probably go up to help. Bearing the curse of Xianhe, it is also a wonderful feeling to be able to actively help others without being favored by others.

But now, besides Xianhe, there is also Tongqiu.

She couldn't disrupt Tongqiu's plan because of her rash actions. If she went to help the woman now and came to Tongqiu in this village with herself, she might be rejected by the villagers suddenly, causing him Everything that was planned to begin with is in shambles.

"Damn..."

The white teeth under the crane mask bit the red lips lightly, and could only look away with difficulty, covering his sight with the brim of the hood.

I chose to stand on the sidelines.
