章 74: Behind the mysterious door in the well.
We reached the ninth step with great difficulty. From there, the next stair step is no longer visible. I tried to light the fire with the head of the stick. This time nothing else is tied. The fire has been lit. In that light we can see the steps of the stairs. With very soapy and timid feet, I began to move up the stairs one by one. I have reached far. A piece of stone hit my foot and fell straight into the hole. But I didn't hear any sound of it falling. I got more scared. Sujeet is a bit far from me.
I said to Sujeet , "Follow me. Otherwise you will not be able to see the road in the dark. Once you fall down from here, there will be no way to survive."
I said it in a low voice. But inside that hole the sound was very loud. Those words hit the wall of the well and came to our ears. The echo was created by that word.
Sujeet said, "Pritam, we are in the well. You should remember one thing. When you are stationed in a hole, you have to ask to come. Otherwise, you have to point."
Hearing Sujeet's words, I understood that he was scared.
This time without saying anything I motioned Sujeet to come to me. And I stood there. When he came to me, I started walking again with timid feet like a deer.
I don't know. How long I have come? But we can guess that we have reached the bottom. I look at the wall of the well in the light of the torch and move on.
As I was walking, something fell on my neck. It feels like a snake. Swinging over my neck. I was shocked and stopped there. My whole body is shaking with fear.
"Snake! Sujeet has a snake on my neck. It's moving constantly. Do something. You know I'm terrified of snakes," I blurted out.
Where is the snake? I can't see it.
On my neck.
Hold the light back a little. Then I will see.
I held the light of the torch backwards.
Sujeet said, "Yes, indeed a snake. I see this snake is very small. Its head is not visible. But from where is this snake hanging? Carefully hand me the torch."
I gave the torch in my hand to Sujeet.
Sujeet took the torch and looked carefully. Then he said with a smile, "Ha! Ha! Ha! It's not a snake. It's a fly root."
But this is moving.
This root is slightly swaying due to the wind. If you don't believe me, look back.
Looking back, yes indeed. It's not a snake. It is the root of a tree. This tree grew on the well.
Such plants are found in shady, wet or dry places. They are called ashwath trees. They can collect their required water even from difficult places.
Leaving those things behind, I started moving forward one step at a time.
Sujeet said tiredly, "How far do we have to go? My legs are not moving anymore."
I told him, "Not far. Just a little further and we will see our destination."
Of course, I also do not know how far to go. But I wanted to reassure him by saying this. He was somewhat inspired. It is revealed by moving forward.
The lower we go, the more fear grows.
"I hear there's a bloodthirsty vampire in the dark well? Once he catches someone, he slits their neck and eats the blood."
I said this to Sujeet without getting any context.
He was very scared after hearing my words. Of course, I also believe those words. There are many such stories. Where someone disappears and is later found in a well looking bloodied and pale.
Sujeet got more scared. "Are you telling the truth? Don't joke with me. I'm very scared."
Not kidding. It really does happen.
So let's go back.
No. There is some way. When we get there, there will be no fear of ghosts.
Adapted to Sujeet and started going down again. After passing a few steps I saw that door by the light of the torch. Excited with joy! I said to Sujeet, "Sujeet, look at the door."
Sujeet also saw it.
"Let's finally reach our destination. Now we have to go inside and see the mystery," said Sujeet.
I stood in front of the door. I took a good look at the door with the light of the torch. I also checked whether there was anything written on the door. No, nothing is written or mentioned there. I knocked gently on the door. The door opened before additional pressure was applied. Because of the sudden opening, my body wanted to go inside the door. Sujeet pulled me from behind. I looked back.
Sujeet said, "Look ahead, not back."
I looked ahead. I was shocked to see. What is this! There is no room here. Here is another staircase. The stairs went down.
I said to Sujeet, "What a danger we are in again! There are stairs one after another. This king has hidden the treasure very cleverly here. We have to proceed carefully."
You are right.
I don't know, where to go to find the treasure? As terrifying as this well is, this secret road is even more terrifying. What danger is hidden in the secret room! If the way to enter there is so mysterious and dangerous, then surely that secret room is also very scary and mysterious.
