Honestly, I really wanted to resist when the witch said that, but I also knew that resisting now would be useless. Leaving the witch aside, even her husband was not someone I could handle. He seemed like a beast, not a human being! I had heard from Han Feiyan before that this man was extremely formidable and didn't fear pain, with incredible strength, and it was particularly terrifying.
Apart from this, I also saw that at this time, Han Feiyan kept giving me eye signals, meaning to tell me to hold steady, possibly to let me take action according to the situation.
After the witch said this, I saw her let Han Feiyan take me to the second floor. Originally, I didn't want to follow, but I knew I had to, even if I didn't want to go it was no use. At this point, all I could do was take things one step at a time.
After arriving at the second floor, the witch went to the front of the altar and dipped her hand into the black water in the altar, putting it in her mouth and licking it. Then she nodded in satisfaction. Afterwards, the witch used her cane to knock on the ground twice and cleared her throat twice.
It was as if he had sensed something, the man following her quickly came to my side, then his right hand grasped the back of my clothes like a large pincer, and lifted me up like a small chicken into the jar.
As the black water in the jar splashed out, I was wrapped up by the black water in the jar.
Because I had previously experienced the chill of the black water in the vat, I thought I could bear it. But this time, when my body was wrapped in the black water in the vat, I found that the situation was completely different!
I found that the black water in the vat was seeping into my body through the lash marks on me, which felt particularly terrible and painful. The cold feeling stimulated my wounds, even stinging my nerves, as if a stream of cold flames was scorching my body.
I couldn't bear it anymore, and towards the end, I let out a loud wail. I swear, this was the most unbearable pain I've ever endured in my life. I felt like I was going to die from the pain, no, I wanted to die right then and there!
At this moment, I couldn't care less about the witch and Han Feiyan's expressions outside, I couldn't care about anything anymore, I feel like I'm going to collapse, really can't hold on anymore.
Enduring such pain for who knows how long, until I was numb with pain, feeling like my body wasn't even mine anymore, until I broke out in a cold sweat, I slowly opened my eyes and looked outside the jar.
At this time, the witch outside the pot was nodding at me with a satisfied expression, while Han Feiyan was also smiling reluctantly in coordination with the witch, but her face looked a bit ugly.
As I opened my eyes and looked at her, the witch said to me in a soft voice: "You really are very spirited, with a strong willpower. I didn't misjudge you! I've seen many men sealed in jars, when they were washed by the black water in the jar, their scars hurt so much that they couldn't bear it and fainted. I didn't expect you to remain awake until now, still able to open your eyes!"
The witch said to me like this, I didn't answer her anything, in fact, I didn't even have the strength to answer her. However, not answering her doesn't mean I won't do anything. Looking at her disgusting old face, I used all my might, and spat a mouthful of saliva at the witch.
"Pffft——"
My spit just happened to land on the face of the witch.
The old witch never thought that I still had the strength to spit at her, and that originally smiling face instantly froze after touching the saliva with her hand, and then suddenly stretched out very long. Slowly, the old witch's face became extremely gloomy and sinister...
The next second, the witch coldly said to Han Feiyan: "Take out the lid that was used to cover the altar before and put it on for me!"
"What?" Hearing this, Han Feiyan was taken aback.
"I told you to get the lid, didn't you hear me? Hurry up!" The witch was getting angry.
"Oh! I...I'll go right away." Seeing the witch say this, Han Feiyan could only go get a lid or something.
One minute later, a wooden lid was brought up by Han Feiyan. Following that, I saw the witch hit the ground twice with her cane and coughed twice. Afterwards, the man suddenly appeared in a flash, then snatched the lid from Han Feiyan's hand, and before I could react, directly covered the jar, forcibly pressing my head into the jar.
As I bowed my head, with the lid on top, I found that my chin was just level with the black water in the vat. If there had been a bit more of this black water, I reckon I would have been drowned.
Because the pot was covered with a lid, the air in the pot suddenly became thin, I felt that I couldn't breathe and I felt death was so close to me...
People often panic when they are on the verge of death, and I am no exception. I don't want to die, nor do I want to give up, so I used my head to push against the lid, trying to open it.
But the lid on my head was like Mount Tai pressing down, no matter how hard I tried, the lid on my head didn't budge. I guessed that it must be that beast of a man holding it down, so I couldn't lift it up at all.
I'm desperate, this time I feel like I'm completely hopeless...
At this moment, I vaguely heard outside that the witch was saying something to Han Feiyan about using concrete to seal the lid and start sealing the mouth of the cauldron, completely trapping me inside. Hearing such words, I felt even more that in a few minutes, I would meet King Yan, and this time I really had no chance of rescue.
Just as my breathing was getting more and more difficult and my consciousness was becoming increasingly blurred, I suddenly heard a light and agile female voice calling out from outside.
"Granny, something terrible has happened!"
This voice, if I'm not mistaken, should be Tingting's voice.
Then I heard the sound of footsteps going upstairs. After that, I heard Tingting talking to Witch Grandma about something.
Because I was sealed in the jar, plus my consciousness was a bit fuzzy, and their conversation was in low voices, so I didn't hear what they said clearly. Anyway, later on, I heard that witch suddenly shout
"How could such a thing happen?! You stay here and watch this jar with Han Feiyan, I'll be right back. You two listen up, without my order, don't even think about opening this lid, press it down tightly, by the time I get back, I hope to see this trash suffocated to death inside!"
As soon as the old witch finished speaking, I felt the lid that was pressing down on me lighten, and then there were two sets of footsteps going downstairs. After that, the attic fell silent again.
After the attic above had been quiet for about ten seconds, the lid covering my head was suddenly lifted by someone. I instantly felt a refreshing gust of air hit me in the face, and with a "whoosh" sound, I stood up from the jar, splashing out many black water droplets. Following that, I began to breathe heavily.
After I've been panting for half a day, I looked at Han Feiyan in front of me and said breathlessly: "Damn it, I almost suffocated to death! Han Feiyan, don't play like this, or I'll die! What's going on here?!"
"I didn't expect the witch to personally want to seal you, this is beyond my expectation. Fortunately, Tingting drove the witch away in time, otherwise you would have been finished."
Hearing Han Feiyan say that, I turned my head and took a look at Tingting, then asked her: "What did you tell Witch? How could she leave so hastily after listening to your words? I believe it's not something big, Witch shouldn't have left in such a hurry just because of what you said."
Seeing me ask like this, Tingting replied to me: "Something big really happened in the village!"
Then Tingting told me the reason why the witch was in such a hurry. After I understood, I instantly lost my calmness. I didn't expect things to get worse and worse!
