Stella hid the matter well this time so as not to reveal, "My intuition told me that there is something suspicious about her since I saw her yesterday."
She tried to listen further, but Hannah happened to come out of the room.
Her face was the opposite of what it usually looked like. Stella stayed after she left to find out who she was talking to.
A moment later, the person came of the room , upon seeing Stella's face, was shocked by the librarian.
After he left, she quickly went to her room. She kept thinking about what she saw,
" Whatever secret they hide, I shouldn't judge only by intuition, but something is strange."
In the morning, as she agreed with the brothers, she left with Adam and his assistants for the village.
The journey took a day. Stella still remembered the way to the place.
" Willow forest, on the right. It's good that my memory worked well this time."
She got into the carriage with Adam, four men went with them, one Stella recognized as the person she met with Adam that day, the rest she had never seen before.
" Right, I forgot that thing."
She took out that necklace that I found that day by the well in the village.
She still couldn't remember where she had seen one like it before, but after staring at the bag, something finally ignited in her head to remember.
" Mrs. Meryl, yes, she has one that looks exactly like her."
Adam noticed that she suddenly became excited, so he asked her, " What's there ? What suddenly happened to you ?"
Stella spoke, explaining to him, "This necklace I found in the cursed village."
Then she told him everything.
" So you're saying there's something in the well ?"
" I just wanted to look at it from the inside, but now it's important to find out who is causing this mess right now, terrorizing the caravans."
Adam answered in agreement, "You're right."
After a whole day, they finally reached their destination at night, Adam decided to camp a little further from the willow forest.
They all sat down to take a break and talk about what they were going to do, and they all agreed to start the search tomorrow.
The weather is good so they had no difficulty sleeping outside.
Stella was busy with something that she brought with her from home.
"You are the one who will give me the final result."
Seeing her talking to herself, Adam thought ,
" What a person she is."
Early in the morning, he decided to leave for the west, taking with him all her things.
Shortly after arriving in the village, everyone scattered to find some kind of evidence.
Liam said, " All strange accidents happen at night or sunset, so maybe we won't face anything now."
After searching everywhere, they were left with only this well, the only thing that did not become ashes.
Stella asked the guys to remove the plank from above.
After removing it with difficulty, they managed to take a look inside.
Adam said, " It looks like an ordinary well, the water is still good even after all these years."
Stella replied, " Don't judge appearances too quickly."
" How is that ? He has been covered all these years."
" But the purpose of covering it may not just be to preserve it."
Stella took the thing she brought with her out of the house, and after removing the fabric it turned out to be flowers.
" What do you want to do ?"
" I'm going to do an experiment."
She took some water from the well and poured flowers with it.
" Tomorrow we will see what the result is."
" Well, let's wait until tomorrow."
At sunset, everyone returned to the camping place. Stella put the flowers in the cart without a cloth.
" I hope the things my intuition is telling me are not true."
The morning after waking up, I immediately got up to check the flowers, to find something that made her in shock, it was more than I expected.
Adam knocked on the carriage door to wake her up.
" Are you awake ?"
Stella got out of the carriage with these flowers in her hand, when others saw her with signs of panic on their faces.
The flowers were completely dead and dry.
" What the hell it's happend ?" Adam said, with shock.
Stella explained," What you are seeing now is the effect of a dangerous poison."
" What poison is this that will stay for a long time ?" (One of the guys asked.)
" As far as I know, it would be arsenic poison."
" How did you know that ?"
" For its properties, when I saw and smelled the well water there was nothing fishy, that is, it has no smell, no color, not even taste."
Arsenic poison is a toxic chemical compound that is naturally found in the environment and is also used in chemistry in abundance.
It is characterized by its deadly properties because it is poisonous in very small quantities. It is quickly absorbed through the skin, respiratory tract and gastrointestinal tract.
The consequences of exposure to arsenic poison include nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, abdominal pain, dizziness, muscle cramps, loss of consciousness, States of coma and death in more severe cases.
Stella," Since twelve years have passed and the effect is still there, I assumed that the amount was large, enough to kill a city and not just a village."
Adam said with a sigh,"That's how the villagers died."
Stella continued her conclusion,"The truth is that it was not a curse, not an accident, it was a carefully planned crime. At first, the culprit put poison in large quantities in the only well of the village. Of course, this caused their death within minutes to an hour, and even if they did not die, they would be completely paralyzed. Then the village was burned down. But, of course, the well did not burn, so it was closed with that heavy plate, which not a single person could carry. That is, this is not the work of one person ; there will be at least four. They completely burned the village. Then they spread the curse rumor so that no one would dare to approach the place, and indeed they succeeded in doing so for years."
