In a remote town, there is an abandoned sewer. The sewers have not been used for many years, but the townspeople know that there are always strange noises coming from the sewers in the dead of night. Some say it's crying, some say it's screaming, and some say it's laughter. These sounds are creepy, so everyone avoids them.
One day, a young traveler came to this town. He heard about the legend of this sewer and, out of curiosity, decided to go for it. So, on a dark and windy night, he walked into the terrifying sewers alone with a flashlight.
There was a fishy smell in the sewers, and there was an eerie atmosphere all around. The young man walked cautiously, and from time to time there were some strange sounds in his ears. He nervously clenched the flashlight in his hand, and silently told himself in his heart that this was just a legend, don't be afraid.
However, when he walked deeper into the sewers, he suddenly heard a woman's crying. He suddenly felt a chill hit him, and his heart raced. He hesitated for a moment and decided to look in the direction of the crying.
He followed the sound deeper and deeper, and finally came to a huge pool. There is a stone sculpture in the waterhole** with a beautiful woman carved out. Her tears seemed to be real, constantly flowing from the eyes of the stone sculpture and falling into the pool. The young man felt an inexplicable fear, but he still mustered up the courage to approach the stone sculpture.
Just then, a cold hand suddenly grabbed his ankle. He screamed in fright and struggled to break free, only to find that the hand was tightly wrapped around him, unable to get rid of it. He struggled desperately, trying to escape from the place, but that hand grew tighter and tighter, almost suffocating him.
Just as he was about to give up, he suddenly remembered the Buddhist beads in his pocket. He took out the beads, held them tightly in the palm of his hand, and began to recite the Buddhist scriptures silently. Suddenly, the hand let go of him, and he took the opportunity to escape the sewers.
Since then, the young man has never dared to go near that sewer again. And the abandoned sewers, which still make strange noises at night, have become a mystery that the town will never solve.
