The first night A Si returned to the village, someone knocked on his door.
Black dog blood was splashed on the door, and yellow talisman paper was pasted on it. On the threshold lay a wet embroidered shoe with his name embroidered on the sole.
The old well at the east end of the village burned all night, and the flames were green. There was a man lying at the mouth of the well, burned beyond recognition, but he smiled at him: "Asi, grandpa has been waiting for you for a long time."
A Si went down the well.
There is no water at the bottom of the well, just a big dry hole. There are dozens of people embedded in the cave wall - his mother who jumped into the well, his father who jumped into the well, his grandfather who jumped into the well, and some familiar faces. They broke out of the mud and called his name.
There was also a woman in a red wedding dress with a face exactly like his.
"I am something you threw away." She said, "You have been thinking about me for eighteen years."
Twenty-three years ago, a girl named Liu Juan threw a red wedding dress into the well. She waited for Ah Si for five years, but before she could get her, she threw away her wedding dress.
The wedding dress has been waiting at the bottom of the well for twenty-three years, waiting for her to come back.
Now she's back. The things at the bottom of the well also woke up.
It wants to use Ah Si's body to get up. It said that this village was built on it, and it was time to pay back what was owed to it.
A Si only has one chance to choose——
When he comes up, someone has to go down.
If he goes down, the people above him will live.
But in his arms was his younger brother who had been waiting for eighteen years. In front of him stood Liu Juan, who had been waiting for twenty-three years. Behind him was the bride wearing his face, wearing her wedding dress, and waiting for him for twenty-three years.
He must choose.
But that thing at the bottom of the well is not just waiting for him
