Chapter 169: The Old Well
Something must have happened in this village, but unfortunately it was not until more than 30 years ago that the village began to get rid of illiteracy, so there is no document of the village chronicles, and the county records do not record such things. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
Blessing regretfully prepared to go back, suddenly remembered that the mountain streams were dry today, and asked about the village party secretary's water, the village party secretary waved his hand: "What's the matter, there is an old well in the village, yesterday I saw that the water was small, I asked someone to clear the well, and the water has come out today." ”
If there is a well, then why go to the stream to fetch water, because the water from the well, which is filtered by the soil and rock formations, is generally cleaner than the water from the mountain springs.
"Why did you abandon this well in the first place?" Blessing blurted out.
The village party secretary squeaked for a long time, and the blessing suddenly thought of the common scenes in horror movies, and hurriedly said: "Ah, needless to say, I don't particularly want to know." ”
Seeing that she didn't continue to ask, the village party secretary also breathed a sigh of relief, and emphasized that someone had already dug the well today, and the new water was clean. It's okay not to emphasize it, the more I say it, the more I think of some terrible things, I deal with it a few words, and I leave with Li Moyi.
"Is there really no other water source here?" On the way back, Blessing looked at Li Moyi with hopeful eyes.
It's a pity that Li Moyi gave her a disappointing answer.
The terrain here is high, the groundwater is not abundant, and it is already very good to have a well, so he bit his lip and asked Li Moyi: "Then, is this well abandoned because something happened?"
Li Moyi shook his head: "When I was here, the people here didn't have the skills to dig deep wells. ”
Well, meaning, there isn't even this well.
Blessing really wants to see what that well is like, and wells are indispensable in legends all over the world, such as the well that is said to be connected to the North Sea in the capital, as well as the five-dragon well, the four-eye well, maybe there is something mysterious about this well.
Li Moyi looked at her and said with a smile: "Aren't you afraid now?"
The nervousness of the blessing just now turned out to be in her eyes, and the blessing was a little embarrassed, and hurriedly argued: "I just thought about whether there would have been people dead in this well before, or someone had poisoned it or something, and I wasn't afraid of the well itself." ”
"I'll go with you. Li Moyi walked side by side with her towards the ancient well, it was time to make dinner, there were already many people by the well, this skill of using the ancient wheel to draw water had almost been lost among young people, so the progress was very slow, the queue was getting longer and longer, and the people waiting were becoming more and more impatient.
Without patience, a long queue will lead to one thing happening - cutting in line.
It is not uncommon in modern history to fight for the right to water, and it is often seen between two villages, and this kind of thing rarely happens in one village.
But today's situation is more special, a few people in the back are carrying water for the crew, and the people in front are always slowly unable to hit, and those people are in a hurry, for fear of being scolded by the village party secretary for missing things.
"If you can't do it, let's fight first, just a bucket of water will take more than ten minutes, what do you do with the people behind us. A young lad's voice.
"If you can't get it, it's because this wheel is not easy to use, how can you blame me, I'm also in line!" The thick dialect, the old voice, sounded very familiar, blessed stood on tiptoe and looked, isn't it the goddess, she also came here to fetch water.
Later, the young man urged him a few more times, and the goddess probably said something unpleasant, and the words on both sides became fierce, and at last one of the young men flew up and kicked the bucket that the goddess had put aside, and went over to fetch water.
When the goddess saw that she was in a hurry, she pounced on her and was about to make a move with the young man, but she was the opponent of the young man, and she was slapped on the shoulder, and immediately took a few steps backwards, sat on the ground with her buttocks, and cried while patting her legs.
Although Blessing couldn't understand what she was crying about, but after learning that she was a single household, Blessing couldn't help but feel sympathy for her, and hurriedly stepped forward to help her up, and helped her pick up the bucket that had been kicked over, she ran to the side of the well, and said to the young man: "It is really difficult for her to fetch water for an old man, so please help her get two buckets, otherwise I will fight?"
Someone knew that she was a member of the crew, and she was quite identious, so she hurriedly laughed and said: "How can I let you do this rough work, I'll come." ”
But after a few efforts, the two buckets were full, and the blessing was carried out, and it was quite heavy, she lifted it with both hands, but the bucket was as light as if it didn't exist, Li Moyi's right hand was held between her two hands: "I'll come." ”
The two heavy wooden barrels fluttered lightly in Li Mo's hands, and they seemed to be nothing more than two empty plastic buckets.
Why is the gap between people so big, Blessing sighed and went to help the goddess, but the goddess looked at her with vicious eyes: "You have made the mountain god angry, the mountain god will definitely retaliate!"
"Oh. Blessing didn't care at all, and asked with great interest, "How do you know that the mountain god is angry?
The goddess didn't know what she was reading, and she didn't bother to pay attention to the blessings, and the good people did it to the end, sending the Buddha to the west, and sending water and people to the home, which was considered a merit.
Walked so many households, the grandmother's family is probably the first poor family in the village, the so-called four walls of the family, it should be this meaning, the top of the house is a stove, there is a pot on the stove, but it is a cold pot and cold stove, there is no firewood, there are some corn and potatoes piled on the ground, and there is nothing else.
The blessing is quite strange: "When we entered the village that day, weren't there several young people who helped you, why didn't you even have a single one to help chop wood?"
The goddess was still chattering with her eyes closed, ignoring her.
Blessing shrugged, probably this goddess is also from Bigu, don't eat, to respect other people's beliefs, she pulled Li Moyi: "Let's go." I'm starving. ”
Li Moyi was about to pour the water in the bucket into the tank, when the goddess suddenly opened her eyes: "Don't move." ”
"Huh?" Blessing and Li Moyi turned their heads to look at her at the same time.
The moment she was pushed, it seemed to hurt her waist, she covered her waist and walked over slowly, her eyes flashing with emotions that she didn't know: "I took this water back to test the medicine." Don't drink. ”
"Huh?" Blessing looked at the water, clear and bright, there was no problem.
Seeing the confused expression on her face, the goddess said, "Seeing that you two are kind-hearted, I will give you a word of advice, do not drink the water from the well, which has been cursed." ”
