C35 (2/2)
When I had nothing to do in the well, I fell asleep with my eyes closed. When I wake up, I'll nag it. When he was hungry, he would eat the raw corn. Fortunately, I knew to break some corn cobs before I jumped into the well. But when you eat too much raw corn, you get a stomach upset. Unable to hold it in any longer, I said, ”My old friend, I'm full of shit here. Please don't blame me!”
The thing below seemed to despise me, and immediately left my feet and sank to the bottom. I had to poop on the water. The excrement floated up to the surface. It was all corn seeds that had yet to be digested. A long time after I had finished pulling, the thing below rose up again to carry me.
A few days passed just like that. Today, the sun shone brightly outside the well. Finally one person came over, laid his head on the well edge and looked inside, and shouted, ”Shier! Shier! Do you hear me? ”
It was my mother.
”Mother, I heard it!” I screamed.
”Aiya, my Shier, you're still alive!” Mother cried tears of joy.
”Hurry up and get me up, hurry up, I'm going to bubble!” ”No,” I said.
Mother said: ”Hold on a little longer, I'll go and get someone!”
About an hour later, Mother brought my two uncles over. Throw a rope into the well and let me fasten myself.
I slowly tied the rope around my waist and whispered, ”Goodbye, old friend. See you again if it's fated!”
The well water churned and the thing below left my feet and sank to the bottom.
I suddenly felt a reluctance to part. My nose turned sour and I began to cry. Isn't it lonely here?
”Finished?” the higher ups asked.
”Alright!” Pull it! ” I shouted.
Soon, I was pulled out of the well. Exposed to the sun, not only my mother and my two uncles, but even I was shocked. I saw that my body was white, covered with thick white skin, so thin that with a dig with my fingernail, I could dig out a piece of it, as if I were digging out white glue.
”Shier, does it hurt?” My mother asked with tears in her eyes. She wanted to touch me but didn't dare to.
”It started to hurt, but it's no longer painful! I don't feel anything anymore! ” ”No,” I said.
”Even blisters can't bubble like this!” It seems like it has been scalded. Just look at its bald and tousled skin. Even its bones are exposed, and its flesh has become so rotten that it's leaking pus! ” The Eldest Uncle said.
”Don't delay any longer, hurry up and take a look at the hospital!” The Second Uncle said anxiously.
Thus, my two uncles and I climbed onto the back of the Electric Tricycle Carriage and rode by my mother. We walked on the dirt road with loud bangs. We didn't go home first, but headed straight for town.
Since the Eldest Uncle and the Second Uncle are here, I didn't want them to know about it. He couldn't help but feel anxious.
On the other hand, his mother who was riding the Electric Tricycle said, ”Shier, if I knew earlier, we wouldn't have run. On a rainy day, the police didn't come to catch us, it was Second Steel Egg and his wife who fought. That police officer came to catch Second Steel Egg's wife! ”
The Second Steel Egg was in the deep alley west of our house. As the two eggs underneath his crotch were as hard as rocks, many people had already pinched them, so they gave him the nickname Second Steel Egg. For many years, he could not bear children because he did not have a child. Son. It turned out that his daughter-in-law was pregnant, so Ergang suspected her of stealing and beat her up. When his wife resisted, she stabbed him in the heart with a pair of scissors and killed him.
I complained, ”Since you know that the police aren't here to arrest us, then why don't you? ”Why didn't you fish me out of the well earlier and let me suffer in it for days!”
His mother's next sentence was not one bit shocking, ”That night, you came home! I thought you didn't jump off the well! ”
