Eunuch Liu pressed his ear against the wall again to listen, indeed there was someone shouting for help.
He led his men out of the Changqiu Palace and circled to the back of the palace wall, but could no longer hear the sound. He shouted loudly, "Who is calling for help?"
At this moment, a voice suddenly came from not far away, "Help, please save this poor girl."
Eunuch Liu followed the voice and saw a well, with a stone slab covering it.
Two eunuchs together moved the stone slab aside, shone a lantern down, and saw a figure at the bottom of the well.
The woman at the bottom of the well saw the light and began to cry excitedly, "Save me, save me!"
The eunuch untied the water bucket, threw the rope down, "Tie the rope around your waist, tie it tightly, we'll pull you up."
The rope had not been down long when the woman shouted, "Done."
The two eunuchs pulled the woman out of the well.
The woman collapsed on the ground, sobbing softly.
