C77 (1/2)

Zhou Qing quickly said: ”There is hemp rope, I have one in my room, but I don't know if it will be strong or not.”

”Go get it, give me the flashlight!” I handed the pack to Promised and took the axe and tied one end of the rope to my waist and the other to a dry locust pole near the well.

Zhou Qing said worriedly: ”Be careful, if it doesn't work then come up.”

”If anything happens to me, you'll just shake the rope and pull me up.” I followed the rope to the mouth of the well and climbed down. The well was dark and the smell was getting stronger.

The deeper I went, the more acrid the smell became. There was a small pool of water at the bottom of the dry well, which gave off a foul stench. I untied the rope and shined the flashlight on it. There were a few skeletons at the bottom of the well, and I walked over to take a closer look. There were about three of them and they had been dead for quite some time.

Fang Yan had died not too long ago, it was impossible for him to turn into a pile of white bones so quickly.

”Brother Liu, what's down there?”

”Nothing, just pull me up.” I tied the rope around my waist and slowly climbed up to the mouth of the well.

Zhou Qing said softly, ”Didn't you see Fang Yan's corpse?”

”No, there's nothing down there. I wanted to ask you guys if you were messing with me.”

Wang Bo hurriedly said, ”That's impossible! That night, I personally saw Zhang Long and Lu Fei throw Fang Yan's body off the stage.”

”Are you sure you saw it with your own eyes?”

Wang Yan frowned and said in a deep voice, ”How could I lie to you? I was there too.”

This was strange. If Fang Yan had been thrown into the well, he should have been at the bottom.

”Let's go back first. We'll discuss this when we get back.” The few of us returned to the courtyard and sat around it. ”This matter is a little strange. Can the two of you recall it carefully?”

Zhou Qing said softly: ”I've told you everything I need to say, and that female corpse …” Nothing else. ”

My eyes immediately lit up. ”Female corpse?” How could I have forgotten? ”

Wang Bo pointed at a tile room beside them and said, ”The female corpse is in that room. She is wearing ancient clothes. It looks like a zombie.”

”But the door is already locked. Zhang Long has locked it.” I took the axe and walked to the door. There was a lock on the door. I used the axe to chop it open.

”Promise you'll help me push the door open. I want to see who the female corpse is.” The promise came and opened the door for me, and immediately a musty smell assaulted my nostrils.

He covered his nose with his hand, frowned, and said, ”What's that smell? It's so disgusting.”

”It's the smell of rotting corpses.” In the past, when I was in the countryside with the old man, I had smelled this scent.

I walked into the room. It was a bit dark inside, but I could see a red coffin placed in the room. Beside it was an incense burner with a tablet and candlestick on it. However, it was already covered in dust.

Zhou Qing and Wang Yan also walked in, looking at the coffin with fear. I reached out and opened the lid.

”Good …” ”It smells so good!” Fragrance? I looked down and saw a woman in ancient clothes lying in a coffin. She was wearing a dark green dress, and her skin was delicate and relaxed as if she were sleeping.

The woman wore light makeup on her face, and her beautiful eyes were filled with longing, as if she was a celestial being.

Saying with some surprise, she said, ”She's so beautiful, just like a fairy.”

I don't deny this, she is indeed beautiful. In ancient times, she could have been considered a beauty.

Zhou Qing said softly: ”It's her …” She's the zombie. ”

”I promise you, how did this woman die?” I didn't look like a zombie, but a living dead, and I promised her a coroner, so I let her see for herself.
