"How is it possible that you would let her leave so easily?" Gu Chaosheng said with some anger and more distrust;

Old Lady Shen smiled in an ambiguous way and said, "After you left yesterday, she tried to commit suicide and wanted to go see her mother. What could I do but let her go. But she took the opportunity to run away. The servants searched for her for half a night but couldn't find her. Maybe she was afraid that Jiangzhou Prefecture would fall and an old woman like me couldn't protect her."

Gu Jinfan suppressed his anger and said: "Didn't you tell her that I wanted to take her with me?"

"Our concubine is very opinionated. Maybe she doesn't want to leave with you at all," said Mother Cui.

"Forget it, I'll go find her myself, but you better not play tricks on me," Gu Jinfan said, and left angrily;

He Yitang turned around and left the set. She didn't know what Gu Chaosheng had done and resented him for a long time.

The night before Gu Chaosheng arrived with the boat ticket, Old Lady Shen was about to attack her, but she got the news in advance;

That night, just as she was about to go to bed, someone suddenly knocked on the gate. She was panicked and walked forward to ask through the door: "Who is it?"

"It's me, Mr. Yitang";

It’s Shen Sicheng!

Shen Sicheng suppressed his panic and whispered, "Don't open the door, listen to me";

He Yitang put his ear close to the door, and Shen Sicheng continued, "Grandma is crazy and said she wants to sink you into the well. Now she won't listen to anything I say. The well in the back garden is a dry well. If they really do that, don't be afraid while you're inside. I will try to notify your friend. We will come back to rescue you in two days at most. Did you hear me, Mr. Yitang!"

How could He Yitang not be afraid when he said that? She found it hard to endure even the dark night, let alone being in the well. She wanted to open the door, but she didn't dare to. She could only cover her mouth and cry.

In the middle of the night, there was a noise in the yard. It sounded like someone jumped in from outside, then there was the sound of a door opening, several footsteps approaching quickly, and the door was kicked open;

Old Lady Shen, served by Cui and Huang, sat on a chair in the hall, looked at He Yitang on the bed and said, "The indenture has been signed. You are a member of the Shen family in life and the soul of the Shen family in death. Now that there is unrest everywhere, I can't bear you running around with us. You might as well stay in this garden cleanly. Do you think it's a good idea?"

He Yitang certainly felt bad and just looked at her with resentment;

Old Lady Shen understood her intentions, smiled and continued: "Since you don't know what's good for you, don't blame me for being cruel";

After saying this, she glanced at Mother Cui. At this moment, He Yitang finally understood what a trained man was. He Yitang was easily caught by her and dragged to the backyard. Mother Huang supported Old Lady Shen and walked behind her. She could not struggle and was forced to the backyard.

The sealing stone on the well had been removed. Shen Sicheng was right. They were really crazy. They would not let her die in peace, and they wanted to torture her like this.

Mother Cui took one last look at Old Lady Shen, and when she nodded, she pushed He Yitang away. This was He Yitang's last memory of the three of them.

She was going to shoot this scene today, and the crew was still setting up. He Yitong was sitting under the long corridor, looking at the well and was already shaking;

She didn't know if the staff would see her as a skeleton when they went down.

She clenched her hands tightly, her sweaty palms showing her nervousness. Watching the staff members go down one by one, He Yitang suddenly mustered up the courage and walked to the side of the well;

But just by getting close, nightmare-like memories came over her, and her legs went weak and she fell to the ground;

The staff nearby were all frightened. Xiaotong had just returned with a power bank. Seeing this, she ran over to help her up and asked anxiously, "Sitian, what's wrong with you? Are you feeling unwell?"

He Yitang shook his head and said, "No, I just missed a step suddenly." Then, he took her hand and stood up;

Xiaotong then realized that her hands were cold. How could they be cold in such weather? Was she afraid? Perhaps the memory of falling into the well that day was too deep, so it was natural for her to be afraid.

Then he patted her on the back and said, "It's okay, don't be afraid, we are all here";

He Yitong didn't hear a word she said, because there was no point in being afraid. She looked at the rehearsal schedule and it would take two days just to shoot in this well, and she had no choice!

"Teacher Qiao, it's time to get down the well," a staff member came over and said;

Xiaotong nodded and helped her to go over, but He Yitang was somewhat resistant. Her fist-clenching action was faintly touching in Gu Jinfan's eyes;

Falling into the well was not a memory that Qiao Sitian could easily forget.

But just as he was about to step forward, Shen Xian also came over. After greeting him with a smile, he handed a transparent teddy bear to Qiao Sitian.

He smiled and said: "I heard that you accidentally fell into it, you must be scared, it can glow, if you are scared, hold it in your hand, it should make you feel better, for comfort";

He Yitang thought for a moment, reached out to take it, and whispered, "Thank you";

She was in a bad mood, confirming her fear. After holding the doll in her hand, she waited for the staff to arrange her to go down. After the ladder was set up, Xiaotong suddenly said, "I'll go with you."

The staff confirmed with the director, and after the director nodded, Xiaotong went down first. Then Shen Xian helped her up and stepped on the wooden steps. After watching her slowly walk down, he leaned over the wellhead and shouted, "How is it? Is it dark?"

"It's okay, I'm fine," He Yitang replied, but his tone was not very convincing;

"Don't be afraid, there are so many of us here," Shen Xian said, then raised his head and said to the staff in a joking tone, "The environment downstairs is not very good, teachers, please try to pass it in one try."

Under the working relationship, it is best to be considerate of each other. With Shen Xian'an livening up the atmosphere, everyone agreed with a smile. Only Gu Jinfan felt that he seemed to have hesitated for too long and was a little disappointed in himself.

When He Yitang woke up, she found a cloak beside her. She didn't know who had dropped it. She waited for two days, but Shen Xian didn't come.

At first she was afraid, and after being harassed by insects and rats, she covered her head with her cloak and huddled in a corner;

Later, she no longer had the energy to be afraid;

The last time she saw Gu Chaosheng, she didn’t see him, but heard his voice. In the end, he was still blaming her, asking why she didn’t trust him once, why she didn’t wait for him.

He Yitang wanted to make some noise so that Gu Chaosheng would find her, but she couldn't move. In the end, she didn't know how she died, but her last memory was that something was gnawing at her body;
