"Bottom of the well."

The letter contained only four characters: the main text consisted of the two characters "井底" (well bottom), and the rest was the signature "云邵" (Yun Shao). Judging from the letter, it was clear that the writer did not write often, yet possessed considerable strength, resulting in powerful yet intangible strokes, much like crooked, twisted thorns.

Fortunately, only four characters were written, and these four characters are also very easy to recognize.

Yun Shao was taken aback. "I didn't write this..."

Chun Tao glanced at him and said, "Are you stupid? This was left behind by Young Master Duan, so it must have been written by him."

"But why did you sign my name..."

Chun Tao simply shook her head after hearing this, but Xiao Ran had a sudden inspiration and asked, "Are there any wells in the garrison?"

"A well?" Yun Shao pondered for a moment. "There isn't a well in the place where we usually train..."

She stared at Yun Shao, her brows furrowing slightly: "Think about it again."

Duan Li wouldn't leave a letter for no reason; there must be something he wanted to give her... Thinking of Duan Li's hasty farewell just now, she suddenly had a bad feeling.

What is it that she can only be told after he leaves?

“Oh! I remember now,” Yun Shao suddenly said. “When I was patrolling with Brother Duan before, we went to an abandoned courtyard with a dry well.”

Chun Tao asked with some confusion, "Why did you and Young Master Duan go to a deserted place on patrol?"

"..." Yun Shao suddenly fell silent.

Actually, that day he was just being playful. He figured there wouldn't be many people around at night, so he took the opportunity to catch some crickets so he could gamble with the people at the garrison the next day. But when he returned, Duanli was nowhere to be seen.

He searched around and finally heard the sounds of fighting in an abandoned courtyard.

Later, he learned that when he went to find crickets, Brother Duan happened to see several people trying to steal. After being discovered, the people fled to this abandoned courtyard.

Fortunately, Brother Duan's martial arts skills were slightly superior, and he managed to subdue those people.

He sat down by the well, his face full of apology. "I'm so sorry, Brother Duan, I..."

Duan Li wiped the corner of his mouth and said, "It's nothing."

Yun Shao looked at the corpses on the ground. Just then, a wind picked up that night, and he felt a chill run down his spine. He swallowed hard and said:

"Brother Duan, this place is strangely scary, shall we leave?"

But Duanli not only didn't leave, he also gave a cold laugh.

Sometimes, being alive is more terrifying than being dead.

Although he didn't understand what Brother Duan meant, Brother Duan's words frightened him even more, so he quickly pulled Brother Duan away from the gloomy courtyard.

"That's how it is... that's why I remembered that dry well."

Xiao Ran pondered for a moment, then nodded: "Then take us there."

"Oh..." Although Yun Shao was a little scared, he still reluctantly agreed to her request.

Soon, the three of them arrived at the courtyard.

The body inside was gone; it must have been disposed of.

The dry well stood in the center of the courtyard, and several coils of rope were placed next to it.

"Go down and take a look."

Yun Shao looked left and right, then asked, "Me?"

Xiao Ran looked puzzled. "Could it be me and Chun Tao? Or do you want a fourth person to know about this?"

Yun Shao sighed. He really had no other choice. After all, he was the only man here, and he should have done this himself. Besides, he didn't want anyone else to know about Brother Duan's affairs.

"Okay, okay."
