When they heard this, they immediately fell silent.

The village chief called the man over and asked where the person was, and the man replied that he was in front of the well at the moment, but there was obviously a lot of dodge in the answer, which made Lin Chen very puzzled.

The village chief obviously had tears in his eyes, and sighed in his mouth: "It's good to come back, it's good to come back." Then he walked with the others to the ancient well in the village.

The little girl behind the village chief was very happy, and without waiting for others, she ran away by herself. The two pigtails were bouncing up and down as they ran, and they were very cute.

Lin Chen looked at it and asked Meng Qingwu: "When you were eight or nine years old, did you also wear such braids?"

"What, what?" Meng Qingwu obviously didn't hear Lin Chen's question clearly.

"What are you doing in a daze?" Lin Chen asked puzzled.

"I don't know if I heard it wrong, but when the crowd was quiet, I seemed to hear someone say, no way, how could he come back. ”

"No, there are so many people, I haven't heard anything. Lin Chen felt that Dream Light Dance must be an auditory hallucination.

Lin Chen and Dream Qingwu also came to the ancient well with everyone.

Since the two of them were walking at the end of the crowd, they didn't see the scene in front clearly, but from the sound of discussion, Lin Chen seemed to hear the crying of the little girl before.

"Dad, Dad, wake up, wake up, wake up, woo woo woo ......"

Dream Qingwu has dreamed of chivalry since she was a child, and Lin Chen can't hear girls crying the most, so the two of them squeezed towards the crowd at the moment.

"Borrowed, borrowed, thank you. ”

When Lin Chen and Meng Qingwu squeezed to the front row of the crowd, they found a middle-aged man lying in front of the well covered in blood, leaning his back against the pillar, as if he had fainted. The village chief was half-crouching in front of the man, examining the man's wounds, while the village chief's granddaughter was kneeling, nudging the man's arm with both hands, crying.

"Hey, I'm afraid it won't work. An old man in gray clothes sighed to the village chief on the other side.

"Please, Grandpa Sun, save my dad, save my dad. The little girl suddenly turned to the old man in gray, tugged at his sleeve, and pleaded repeatedly.

"Actually, it's not impossible. The old man in gray paused.

"Doctor Sun, the heart of the doctor's parents, if there is any way, just say it quickly. Seeing that the old man in gray was a little hesitant, the village chief asked eagerly.

At this time, Lin Chen felt that the villagers seemed to be very scared, and the arms of the people around him were a little trembling, Lin Chen thought to himself, this ordinary villager really has little knowledge, and he was scared like this with a little blood. But it's no wonder, if it was placed in the past, Lin Chen would almost have to be scared like this, but after experiencing the bloody battle in Kongjing Mountain, Lin Chen has more or less immunity to such a scene.

"Village Chief, have you forgotten the demon fairy who lives in the south of our village?" Dr. Sun reminded.

"Demon Fairy!" the village chief was obviously trembling all over, and then sighed and said, "Life should be like this, life should be like this." ”

"You boys, take a hand and carry my loyal baby back. The village chief seemed to have resigned himself to his fate, and said to a few sturdy young people.

And the return of the loyal baby in the mouth of the village chief seems to have extinguished everyone's anger, and no one mentioned the replacement of the village chief at the moment, and the front and back helped to carry the injured people away.

"Huh, who are you?" Just when everyone was busy carrying people, a little child found Lin Chen and Meng Qingwu, because these are people from the village, and the village is not big, so they basically know each other, this little child saw the living person, and immediately became curious.

When everyone heard this, they also stopped their eyes on Lin Chen and Meng Qingwu.

Lin Chen originally wanted to say that he and Meng Qingwu just saw that there were many people here, so they came to have a good time. But I felt that it was a bit inappropriate to say this, so I didn't know how to answer for a while.

At this time, Meng Qingwu replied first: "We were sent by the imperial court to inspect various states and counties and investigate the people's conditions. ”

After speaking, Meng Qingwu put his arm against Lin Chen, and whispered, "Don't take out the token that the third prince gave you." ”

Lin Chen didn't expect Meng Qingwu to say this, but the current situation was not easy to dismantle, so he had to reach out and take out the jade plate given by the third prince in his arms.

On the side, the village chief, who was extremely sad, wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes with his sleeve, walked forward, took the jade plaque with both hands, and looked at it carefully. I saw that the texture of this jade plate was excellent, and it was warm and moist, with an imperial character carved on the front and a strange pattern carved on the back.

But although he is the head of a village, he doesn't have much knowledge after all, and it's the first time I've seen such a valuable thing, so I don't have an idea for a while.

At this time, the young man in a fancy costume on the side spoke: "Why don't you return the token to the adults quickly, we can't afford to pay for the breakage." ”

Only then did the village chief react, holding the jade plate in both hands and handing it to Lin Chen.

"I don't know what happened to the adults in our Gujing Village? Our village happened to encounter some things, so we made a lot of noise, and the hospitality was not good, and I invited the adults Haihan. The village chief's rhetoric is straightforward.

"Oh, I happened to be passing by, and I saw you lying there, covered in blood, so I was curious to ask. Lin Chen replied.

"My lord, are you waiting for me to carry the dog home? The village chief asked with some embarrassment.

"Well, it's okay, you guys are busy first. Lin Chen hurriedly waved his hand.

Just as everyone was carrying the village chief's son back to their residence, the young man in Chinese clothes came to Lin Chen and Meng Qingwu, and said with a smile: "My lord, my name is Ding Yiquan, and I am a villager of this Gujing Village. I don't know where the adults came from, but after a long journey, do you want to go to my house to rest. ”

Lin Chen thought about refusing, he and Meng Qingwu were just curious about this injured person, but there was no need to go out of their way.

Meng Qingwu was the first to speak: "Well, that's right, there are still some sensible people in your Gujing Village. But you don't have to rest, you can show us what is special in your village. ”

Hearing Meng Qingwu praise himself, Ding Yiquan suddenly blossomed with joy, and hurriedly said: "My lord, you are right to ask this, there is really a special feature in our village, and it is right in front of you." ”

"In front of you?"

"Yes, this is the ancient well. ”

Lin Chen and Meng Qingwu stepped forward to take a look, but they didn't find anything special, that is, the well was bigger, and the mouth of the well was about half a person high.

"My lord, there is water in this well. ”

As soon as they heard this, Lin Chen and Meng Qingwu immediately came to their senses, and they looked into the well. Sure enough, there was water in the well, and the surface of the water was about four or five meters below the wellhead. At this time, the two of them looked into the well and saw their own reflection in the water.

"There is such a well!" Lin Chen sighed, "Quickly take some and taste it." Lin Chen saw that there was water in the well, which reminded him of the allusion of the ancient well on the earth, and he couldn't bear it in his heart at the moment and wanted to taste it.

"You can't drink this water, and if you drink it, you will get sick. Ding Yiquan hurriedly stopped Lin Chen.

"Oh, isn't that the same as the water of the river? Lin Chen sighed regretfully, "I thought this water was extremely sweet." ”

At this time, Ding Yiquan approached Lin Chen and said: "This water has indeed been extremely sweet all the time, but recently, for some reason, it suddenly became unsuitable for drinking. ”

Lin Chen looked at Meng Qingwu, Meng Qingwu shook his head secretly, so Lin Chen couldn't shirk it, he brought water with him, and he was in the imperial court, and he had tasted this sweet water himself.

Ding Yiquan was obviously a little lost, but as if in order to show in front of Lin Chen and Meng Qingwu, he began to introduce the origin of this ancient well to the two, as if he was afraid that the two would not believe it, Ding Yiquan led the two to the south side of the well, where a stone tablet was erected.

The stele is a stele of merit, and the obverse reads:

In the 50th year of the Holy Emperor, the god of water entrusted a dream, dug a well here, the water quality was sweet, and the drink prolonged life.

The back of the stele is engraved with the names of some people:

Ding Li, Ding Kang, Zhang Xingshun......

"The first two are the ancestors of my Ding family. ”

Lin Chen calculated, the Saint Emperor was fifty years old, that is, one hundred and twelve years ago, the Saint Emperor succeeded to the throne Emperor Ling, that is, the father of Meng Siqing, the ancestor of the Dream Family, and the Holy Emperor was the grandfather of Emperor Ling, because the Holy Emperor reigned for fifty years, and he survived several of his sons to death, so in the end, it was his grandson who inherited the throne. And this well was built in the last year of the reign of the Holy Emperor.

But Lin Chen always felt a little strange, one hundred and twelve years ago, this river had not yet flowed backwards, and this village was by the river, so why did it matter, dig a well here. Is it really the water god who dreams of it?

Suddenly, a person ran from the south of the village, and Lin Chen saw that it was the direction where the village chief and everyone had just gone. Immediately afterward, another group of people ran out and ran as fast as they could.

Lin Chen and Meng Qingwu didn't know what was going on, but the artist was bold, and the two hurriedly greeted them.
