That day, by chance, there were no scorpions in the cave. It wanted to rest, but ended up getting frightened when a swarm of scorpions rushed in, making it jump straight into the spring.
While sinking, it discovered the waterproof door. I was the one who taught it the word 'coffin.' If by chance the 'coffin' happened to be empty, Wang Le and the others definitely wouldn't believe it.
So I simply said there was a living corpse in the coffin that it chased away. After all, Doctor Du and the others knew that living corpses could dive and swim, and could also use the waterproof door.
It was already a bizarre story, and if I rigidly concocted something entirely realistic and logical, it would be more easily debunked.
So I told Little Red to say it survived by drinking the water from the spring, and when hungry, it would return to the coffin to sleep. Because it was trapped alone in a relatively enclosed environment, its memory and mental state were not good.
