Chapter 223: Curiosity

On this day, Mu Yuqing nested in the room reading as usual, but the difference was that the familiar "squeak" sound sounded outside the door again. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

Mu Yuqing still opened the door and stood there watching.

The old man used his wheel to fetch water as always, trembling and weak as always, but the difference this time was that the old man did not fall from the time he fetched the water to the time he returned to the room.

Mu Yuqing also watched the old man go back to the house as always, and she returned to the room with confidence after watching the old man close the door.

This is the case for a few days, the old man will go out of the house every once in a while, and he doesn't do anything else, just focus on fetching water, and every time he fetches not much water, every time it is half a bucket, sometimes he can go back to the room smoothly, sometimes he will fall, but before he is about to fall, Mu Yuqing will hold him steadily.

After a long time, Mu Yuqing couldn't help but start to wonder, why did the old man behave like this?

One morning, Mu Yuqing surprisingly didn't nest in the room to read, she stood outside the door, looking at the direction of the main house, the old man didn't seem to want to go out today, Mu Yuqing stared at it for a long time and didn't see the old man open the door.

Mu Yuqing raised her feet and slowly walked to the well.

He craned his neck to look into the wellhead.

There is no light in a dark well, and I don't know the depth.

Mu Yuqing found a small stone from the side, then threw the stone into the well, tilting his head and listening carefully.

The small stone fell rapidly, but Mu Yuqing waited for a long time and did not hear the echo from the small stone.

Mu Yuqing was a little stunned, she had obviously seen the old man fetching water, she felt that the old man's bucket was a few meters down and she heard the sound of "poof" water, it didn't make sense that she would have no water.

Unrelentingly, he found a slightly larger stone, and Mu Yuqing threw it into the well again.

I still waited for a long time and couldn't hear a sound, and Mu Yuqing's neck stiffened and didn't hear any echo of stones.

"It shouldn't be..."Mu Yuqing muttered to herself.

It was already dark, Mu Yuqing didn't continue to try, she wanted to wait for the old man to appear and carefully observe whether there was any water source in this well.

At dawn the next day, Mu Yuqing waited next to the well, but to her disappointment, the old man still did not appear today, only the occasional coughing sound from the house proved that the old man was still there.

Mu Yuqing waited all day without any gain, and the old man just didn't go out.

On the third day, Mu Yuqing was still waiting by the well, but this time she really made her wait.

The old man held his dilapidated bucket as usual, trembling and walked to the well, when he saw Mu Yuqing standing by the well, something flashed quickly in his eyes, and then he didn't look at Mu Yuqing, and walked straight to the well.

Hang the bucket on the hook and slowly shake it down with a wheel.

Mu Yuqing listened carefully to the sound of the bucket, although the "creaking" sound on the wheel was very loud, she still heard the sound of the bucket falling into the water.

"This is impossible..."Mu Yuqing frowned slightly, and looked at the well intently, she tried many times but did not hear any sound of water, the old man's bucket fell into the well and there was a sound of water, if it was not that this well was greasy, it was the secret of the old man's bucket.

The old man slowly shook the bucket up, and half a bucket of water really came up in the swaying bucket.

The old man held the bucket in his arms like a baby, for fear that one would spill a drop if he was not careful.

"Uncle... May I ask what is the use of this water?" couldn't help but be curious, Mu Yuqing asked the old man.

The old man didn't pay attention to Mu Yuqing, returned to the room by himself, and then closed the door tightly, even if Mu Yuqing wanted to peek, he couldn't see anything.

Shaking her head, Mu Yuqing sighed lightly, she asked herself if she didn't offend the old man, not only did she not offend, but she even took the initiative to help the old man when he needed help, but she just didn't understand, why did the old man reject her so much?

After returning to the room without interest, Mu Yuqing kept thinking about the well, how did the old man get the water, and what was the use? If the old man told her decisively, she would not have such a strong interest, and now curiosity drove her, and she always wanted to find out.

For the next few days, Mu Yuqing stayed by the well, and the old man seemed to realize how serious her curiosity was, and she didn't go out again for a few days, which made Mu Yuqing wait a little anxious.

Finally one day, the hard work paid off, Mu Yuqing finally waited for the old man to go out, looking at the old man's thin body, emaciated face, and snow-white hair, Mu Yuqing felt that the old man was really kind, very kind, no matter how he looked at it, it was very pleasing to the eye.

Still ignoring Mu Yuqing, the old man walked to the well by himself, and threw a bucket into the well as usual.

Just when Mu Yuqing stretched her neck curiously and waited, she suddenly felt a lightness under her feet, and then a lightness on her whole body, and the whole person was planted towards the bottom of the well.

"@#Ā„%" Mu Yuqing couldn't help but burst into foul language.

The body could not stop falling, and she could hear the smug laughter coming from above, and the source of the sound was the old man.

Mu Yuqing just wants to cry now, and they all say that curiosity kills the cat, and now it's really curiosity that kills her.

I don't know how long it has been falling, Mu Yuqing only knows that it has fallen into darkness, but she can still sense that her body is falling rapidly.

Urging the power of the blood in her body, she tried to use the power of the blood to stop the trend of continuing to fall.

His hands were scratching around, but he couldn't catch anything.

She was ready to fall into a pulp, but a white light suddenly appeared below her fall.

Then only heard a "poof", and Mu Yuqing finally fell into the water.

The white light came from underwater, and Mu Yuqing instinctively swam towards the light.

As she swam closer, the light grew stronger, and when she realized that the light was blindingly strong, her body was sucked in by a force.

When she opened her eyes again, there was no cold water around her, and the intense light had disappeared, and she stared at the scene in disbelief with wide eyes.

Beneath the deep water was a huge palace, which was resplendent and majestic, every brick and tile seemed to be made of real money, her clothes were soaked, cold water ran down her hair to the ground, and there were small crystal droplets on her long eyelashes.

"What's your name?" a deep, ethereal voice echoed through the space.

Mu Yuqing was slightly stunned and asked, "You... Are you asking me?"
