When I sat in front of the window of the hallway with Yoo Sang, I occasionally heard the sound of a small bell.

They swayed with the body, faintly tinkling from him, crisp and beautiful, like wind chimes made of glass. After listening quietly for a moment, I tried to detach myself from what I had seen earlier, so I casually found a topic and asked him, "Do you have a lot of pets?"

"Why do you ask?"

"Because you don't look like a bell seller, and you don't have the temperament of a salesman. ”

"What is the unique temperament of a salesperson?"

"Everyone who passes by me has the possibility of selling, so he will spare no effort to create opportunities and tap 99% of potential merchants from the 1% probability of opportunities. ”

My answer made him smile. He raised his wrist and pointed to me the expensive watch on his wrist.

The two bells the size of red beans attached to the strap look out of place with the style of the watch, but it shows his preference for them. "I don't have pets," he explained to me, "and it's not a commodity, nor is it a gift as I told you before." Actually, I just like to collect these gadgets, do you think they sound good?"

"It's really good. ”

"I've heard people say that this kind of voice is used to guide the way. ”

"Lead the way?"

"It's going to lead in a certain direction. ”

"What kind of direction?"

"What about this...... he thought about it, and smiled: "It's just hearsay, it's the direction the soul should go." ”

"Yellow Springs?"

"Probably. ”

"That's so unlucky, no wonder it's always worn by dogs and cats. ”

"Heh......" I said to him chuckle again, and then he took something out of his pocket and handed it to me, and as I hesitated to reach for it, he shook it gently at me:

"Well, this one for you. ”

The thing made a tiny bell ring.

When I looked closely, it was the black bell that had landed at my feet in the ice cream parlor. At this moment, it can be clearly seen that it is very exquisitely made, although it is only a little larger than the little finger, but the outline is beautiful, the structure is full, especially the group of patterns that protrude on the surface, vividly carved with the appearance of a little mouse, slightly tilted up, the big eyes of the bean seem to carry life, flickering in the dim light, flowing a snooping look.

Interestingly, it looks like a black glass material, but the sound is as strong as metal, which shows how ingenious the workmanship is. When I received it in my hand, I praised it from the bottom of my heart: "It's amazing, a small bell can be so painstaking......

"Whatever you like, you will put your heart into it, whether it makes sense or not. ”

"That's just as well. ”

"Speaking of which, are you also going to Beijing?"

"No, it's going to Luozhuang. ”

"Is that the jujube township that produces jujube honey? ”

"Yes. ”

Although Luozhuang is not as famous as Shandong Wudi or Shanxi Dali, it can be regarded as worthy of the reputation of jujube township, because Luozhuang is rich in a kind of black jujube that is not big in size, but the taste is as sweet as honey, and it is the two major specialties of the county together with Luozhuang's jujube honey.

"Nice place, is it for a trip or a business trip?"

"Back to my hometown. ”

"Hometown?" Somehow, as soon as I heard that my hometown was in Luozhuang, Liu Xiang's eyes flashed slightly, and he looked interested: "Then do you know a village called Wenxia on the other side of Beiwen Mountain?"

"Yes, that's where I live. ”

"That's a daring trick. ”

"Why, you live there?" I asked, knowing that it was impossible.

He smiled, "No. But I've been planning to go over there lately, so it's a coincidence that I was able to meet someone who happens to live there, isn't it?"

"Well, that's true. Are you going there on a business trip?"

"I want to see something. ”

"What's that?"

"I heard that there is a naturally formed ancient burial pit over there, called Hades' Well. ”

As soon as I heard the words 'Hadeswell', my hands couldn't help but tremble, and the conversation disappeared almost instantly.

"You're going to visit Hades' Well?" I swallowed in my dry throat for a while, and I asked him as I gathered the bell in my hand and looked up.

"Yes. ”

"That kind of place...... Nothing to visit and not a sight to visit......"

"It's true that the scenery can't be talked about, but when it comes to monuments, it should still be counted. If you go back in time, it should be a thousand years old, and if it is well preserved, there will be a lot to see. ”

"Are you an archaeologist?"

"Yes or no. ”

"It can't be a tomb robber, is it......"

casually said, seeing that he smiled and didn't say anything, I couldn't help but chuckle in my heart.

Could it be that you really told me to be right?

"To be exact, it should be called antiquities appreciation. ”

I was slightly relieved to reply: "Then it's time to call you a teacher." ”

"I don't dare to be, it's just a hobby. ”

"But there are no ancient relics in the well of Yama for you to appreciate, if there is, the Cultural Revolution should have been out of order for a long time, although it is old enough, and it has indeed buried people, but it is basically empty, only some of the food thrown down by the sacrifice to the sky, all of which are rotten. ”

"Yes. But as far as I know, that's not how it should be. ”

"That's right, it shouldn't be empty, after all, there are a lot of candles left, which should be traced back to before the Qing Dynasty, maybe you can take them out and take a look......"

"Heh, you're pretty sharp. ”

“...... I'm just telling you the truth......"

"I don't think you really want me to see the well. ”

"That's right. I nodded.

"Why. ”

"Since you've heard of the well, you should have heard of the legend about it, and it's pretty evil, and if it's okay, I don't think there's any need to go out of your way to see it. ”

After speaking, seeing that he was speechless, I didn't continue. Just thinking of what happened to me, I couldn't help but sigh lightly in my heart, subconsciously touched my neck, and caught a glimpse of his behavior of looking at me through the reflection of the window glass, and was about to avoid it, but I heard him speak again: "Actually, one is to see what the well looks like, and the other is to confirm something." ”

"What do you want to confirm?"

"I heard that there is an ancient corpse buried in that well. To be exact, it was a person who committed something in ancient times and was suppressed in that natural tomb. ”

"What's the matter, the well has always been empty, but I heard that people have been buried before, but it doesn't feel good to bury them, so I quickly reburied them. ”

"Oh?" raised his eyebrows slightly, and Liu Xiang listened to my words as he watched the moonlight begin to gradually return to normal outside the car window. After a moment of silence, he whispered to himself, "This is a bit different from what I've heard. ”

“...... What are the sayings you've heard?"

"I've heard that the ancient corpse has never been out of the ground since the day it was buried. ”

"But what I've seen with my own eyes is that there is nothing in it except what is thrown in during the village's customary worship. ”

"Yes," he said, giving me a look.

Obviously, I was skeptical of what I said, after all, we hadn't known each other for long, and my answer was a little too positive. So I smiled, and I made a nonchalant gesture: "Forget it, if you don't believe me, you can go over and confirm." ”

"It's not that I don't believe it, I just think it's a pity. ”

"What a pity?"

"Because I've been interested in it for a long time. ”

"Why?"

After repeated questioning, he paused his answer and looked away from my face.

I thought he was reluctant to answer the question, but it wasn't long before I heard him reply, "Well, it's because it has something to do with a legend that I'm interested in." ”

"What kind of legend?" subconsciously continued to ask.

"Have you ever heard the story of the magic pen Maleon?"

"Huh?".
