Although I was the one closest to Erwazi, I was not prepared at all. After all, who would have thought that this mother who was willing to sacrifice her life for Erwazi and hug the portrait with her own body would do such a thing?
When I came to my senses, I heard a popping sound coming from the well. After yelling at Liu Jifen, "What are you doing?", I jumped into the well regardless of the danger.
If Erwazi was awake, I would definitely not be so reckless. I would choose to put a rope down, let Erwazi catch her, and then pull her up. But now Erwazi is still asleep. If she doesn't get alone, she will drown to death!
Also, even if she wakes up now, she will probably have sunk, and she doesn't know how to swim. Even if she throws the rope down, she won't be able to catch it.
I don't know how I made these judgments in a split second. I just know that after hearing that voice, I jumped in subconsciously.
The well was dug very deep, and the water inside was very cold. Even on a summer night, it still felt bitingly cold.
I didn't know how deep the water was. I only knew that after I jumped in, I didn't even step on the bottom without making any movement. And when I opened my eyes, it was pitch black all around, with only a faint light above my head reminding me that I was still alive.
Fortunately, the diameter of the well is not large, and I can touch the wall with my hand. But in the absence of light, I reached out and touched around my body, but I couldn't touch Erwazi. In desperation, I dived deeper, touching with my hands as I dived, but there was nothing except the smooth well. Outside the wall, there is still nothing found.
This breath is almost exhausted. I must go up to take a breath, otherwise I will drown in this well.
As soon as I popped my head out, I heard a "whoosh" sound, as if something hit me. I was so frightened that I quickly retracted my head. Then I heard a "pop" sound, and then a dazzling light came towards me. You can see clearly that this is a portable flashlight with a small diameter that can be bitten in your mouth.
At this time, Zhang Hazi's voice came from the mouth of the well. He said, find Erwazi quickly and don't let her father's portrait leave her body!
How long has it been since then that there are still so many things to pay attention to? Besides, she was thrown down just now and was washed away by the well water. Who can guarantee whether the portrait was released?
But since it is Zhang Hazi’s order, I will naturally follow it. So I took a deep breath, then bit the flashlight in my mouth, turned around and dived into the well.
This time there was light, and I didn't dive very far when I saw Erwazi's body, which was caught by something on the well wall. It couldn't float up or sink down. It just hung vertically on the well wall. , the long hair spreads around the whole head.
No wonder I didn't find it before. It turns out that Erwazi didn't sink that deep at all. I estimate that the depth of my free fall into the water would be deeper than her position.
After figuring this out, I hurriedly swam over, hugged her body and started swimming up.
During this process, I took a special look to see if there was any portrait of the youngest son on her body. Unfortunately, I searched around but couldn't find it. It was probably washed away when it fell into the water, and it should have sunk to the bottom of the well by now.
Saving people is important, so I plan to send Erwazi up first. If Zhang Hazi really needs the youngest's portrait, I'll just go down and look for it.
When I showed my head, the rope thrown down by Zhang Hazi and the others was right in front of me. I bit the flashlight, humming and breathing, and used all my strength to tie the rope to Erwazi's body.
After finally doing this, I motioned for them to pull up. At the same time, I asked Zhang Hazi if the portrait was not on her body. Do you want me to go down and fish it out?
I couldn't see Zhang Hazi's expression, but I could hear him curse softly. The echo amplification of the well made it clear to me.
After he scolded me, he said to me in a normal voice, "You come up first. There is something weird in this well. If you want to go down, I will go down and look for it."
I know Zhang Hazi is worried about me, but you are a blind man, what can you do here? What's more, the portrait is so small and can float left and right with the current. If you don't use your eyes to see it and just touch it with your hands, you may not be able to touch it even if you touch it for three days and three nights.
So I said, if you are optimistic about Erwazi, I will go down again.
After saying that, without waiting for Zhang Hazi to refuse, I turned around and dived into the well, and then went all the way down the well wall.
This time, I dived four or five meters down in one breath, and then I saw something like aquatic plants floating in the water below. I was overjoyed and thought that we were finally close to the end, because only when there is soil at the bottom of the well can aquatic plants grow.
But after I dived in, I felt something was wrong, because when I dived down, the water flow driven by my arms could easily separate the water plants to both sides, and then all of them stuck to the wall of the well, revealing a patch in the middle. Big gaps come.
In other words, the roots of these aquatic plants do not grow at the bottom of the well, but take root in the well wall. This also means that I haven’t reached the bottom of the well yet.
This discovery made me a little frustrated, but I was not discouraged and continued to dive. But I was very puzzled in my heart, how could water plants grow on the wall of the well, and it even grew in a whole circle, which seemed strange to me.
But that's not what I need to worry about. I'm just worried that the youngest's portrait will fall into the water plants and be hidden among them after being swayed from side to side. If you dive straight down without checking, you will probably pass by the youngest's portrait.
So when I dived to the edge of the aquatic plants, I had to reach out to push them away, and then look for the youngest's portrait one by one.
But when I was playing with the aquatic plants, I always felt something was wrong, because these aquatic plants were completely different from what I had in mind. The leaves were too thin!
Is it because it has not seen sunlight for many years that it grows so thin? It's like the fish in the deep sea have evolved to have no eyes.
I searched around among these water plants and found the roots of every handful of water plants, but I couldn't find the portrait of the youngest. At this time, I felt like I couldn't hold it in any longer, and I was about to go up for a breather. The light of the flashlight suddenly illuminated a white reflective object, which reflected from under the roots of aquatic plants.
Reflection from the glass of the portrait?
No wonder I couldn't find it after searching for a long time. It turned out to be blocked by the roots of aquatic plants. But I only saw the roots, so I didn't continue to fiddle with the water plants and turn them down.
This white reflection made me feel happy, and I thought I would hold it in for a while, and then go up after getting the portrait.
So I dived down along the handful of water plants, and then reached for the portrait. But although it was smooth, it was not as hard as glass, but soft and sticky, and it broke when I squeezed it hard!
I hurriedly pursed my lips and pointed the light of the flashlight at the white reflective place. With just one glance, I was so scared that I opened my mouth and the flashlight fell directly and sank deep into the well!
Because I saw that the thing I just reached out to hold was not a photo frame of a portrait at all, but a swollen and white human head covered in blisters that could break into pieces when pinched! That white reflection is the white face on the swollen head!
Not only that, when the flashlight was spinning and sinking, I could clearly see that under the bottomless well wall, there were corpses with long hair floating in the waves. They were one next to another, covering the entire wall of the well!
