What Happened to Our Friendship?

"Something's wrong!" Standing inside the well, a weird feeling came over Wang Wenlong. It felt like he had sunk into the deep ocean and his body was slowly submerging. His chest felt congested. He did not dare dawdle. He bent down to pick up the nametags. 

When his fingers brushed the bottom of the well as he picked up the nametags, Wang Wenlong discovered there was something underneath the sand. It was about the size of a thumb.

"Is this some kind of trap?" Wang Wenlong was cautious. He did not touch the thing that protruded out of the sand but moved the sand around the thing away.

"What is hiding underneath here?" His fingers had made contact, and the touch was different from the slippery sensation of sand. It was something softer and colder. As the sand fell away, a human face surfaced, and the thing that had protruded earlier was the tip of face's nose.
