Chapter 143 Strange Wells
"Don't bother!" The middle-aged man stopped and looked at her with a smile, "Here, drink!"
Ziyue picked up the cold water brought by his daughter-in-law, and saw that the bowl was full of potholes, and a bowl of water could hold half a bowl, and the rest would be spilled out, feeling that their life was also very difficult, so she asked, "Big brother, how far are you from the town here?" ”
"It's not very far from the town, it's only a dozen miles away, right? Does the girl want to go to town to find your relatives? The middle-aged man enthusiastically pushed the bowl in front of her, "Drink!" The conditions are not very good, please forgive me! ”
"Nope." She smiled, she really shouldn't have said that she was thirsty and begged for water just now, and now she didn't want to drink it and there was no way, so she took a deep breath, picked up the bowl, and drank it directly. The cold water entered her throat, refreshing and sweet, and it was not as unpleasant as she imagined.
She put down the bowl and saw the middle-aged man looking at her after drinking, and licked the corner of her mouth, "Do you want more?" ”
"No thanks!" She held the porcelain bowl in both hands, and looked at his movements strangely, although it was subtle, but she noticed it, "Big brother, are you short of water here?" ”
"yes, how did the girl know?" The man and his daughter-in-law stood aside and asked in surprise. But the man scolded him sharply, "Ignorant woman, go back to the house, there is no place for you to intervene." ”
She squirmed the corners of her mouth, looking at Xuanyuan Yichen's face that was always like an iceberg, seeing his father-in-law's enthusiasm for Ziyue and them, and knowing that she would disturb his Yaxing here, she turned around and walked towards the inner room.
"Don't mind, girl, that's what she is." The man smiled sheepishly. And Ziyue guessed from this short sentence that their current water source should be very tight, but there is one thing she doesn't understand, that is, the environment here is not like a place where there is a shortage of water, and when they just flew over, there was a small river over there, and a situation like theirs should not appear.
"Nothing? There is a river under this mountain, so why are you still short of water? She and Xuanyuan Yichen glanced at each other, neither of them understanding what was going on?
"Hey!" The man sighed, "That's right. There used to be a well in the village. There is no shortage of water, but since the change of the village chief, there has been a problem with the well in the village, and some black smoke will come out from time to time. And the water we brought up was all black. And not clear. Girl, the water you just drank was the spring water we found in the mountains when it rained a few days ago, so it has that sweet taste. The man recounted the matter in general terms. The two people who heard the news felt that there was something wrong with the well.
"So be it! Can you take us to that well? She asked, thinking that when they understood what this place was, and were ready to leave, she would also help them, after all, they brought themselves the few water they had to drink, and she should settle the matter before leaving.
"No, the girl is too dangerous, the black fog has a confusing effect, I have seen with my own eyes that some villagers committed suicide by jumping into the well because they got too close." The man rejected her without thinking.
"This big brother, don't worry! We're going to be okay with the past. ”
"Really?" The man had a glimmer of hope in his heart, and he also hoped that they really had that ability, so that they didn't have to invite the immortal in the city. It's been so many days, they went to the city to invite the immortal, but they haven't come back yet, and they don't know if they can succeed.
"Don't worry! You don't have to worry about that, do you know the cultivators? ”
"Cultivator? I don't know, but I know that there is an immortal in the city who can fly around in the sky with a sword, and I don't know if the cultivator you mentioned to the girl is like this. ”
"That's right, the immortal you mentioned should be a cultivator, there are no legendary immortals here, they won't appear in the town at all, that cultivator I think his cultivation should not be very high, generally really powerful people will not come out to offer treasures, such a person, even if he appears in front of you, you can't know."
"Oh! In that case, then come with me, girl! When the man had finished speaking, he got up and prepared to take her with him.
"Good! Yichen, let's go over and have a look! She also got up, pulled Xuanyuan Yichen, who was standing behind her, and walked out of the house.
The middle-aged man who walked in front was afraid that they would not be able to keep up, so he did not walk fast, but while walking, he looked back at them, and saw that they were following closely behind him, so he accelerated his speed again.
After walking for a long time, they finally saw the well he had spoken of, and the middle-aged man stopped and pointed not far from the well:
"This is it! The well in front of us was the one we used before, but now it's sealed and won't be used, so I can only stand here, hoping that you will be careful, girl. ”
"Okay, you go back first! We'll let you know when we find out why, okay? She glanced at the well, but didn't feel anything wrong there.
"Okay! Then I'll go first, you guys be careful. When the man saw the two of them walking towards the well, although he was a little worried, he remembered that she said that they were the kind of people who could fly to the sky and escape like the immortals in the city, so he no longer worried, but turned back and hurried to the house, waiting for their results.
"Hmm!" Ziyue, who had already walked a few steps away, turned around and smiled at him, then turned around and walked towards the well with Xuanyuan Yichen, while the middle-aged man quickly left the place, he was afraid that if he stayed for a while, the disaster would befall him.
After the man left, only Ziyue and the two were left in the entire well, "Yichen, let's go down and see what's going on, okay?" ”
"Hmm!" He nodded, and jumped with her.
The well was not dark, on the contrary it was bright. When the two men entered, they soon sank to the bottom of the well, and in front of them there was a small staircase, which was not wide, but could accommodate a single person to pass through.
After the two of them went up, they saw that above the stairs, there was a relatively spacious hall, and there were some terrifying statues and wax figures in the hall, the images were more realistic, and they looked exactly like real people.
"Yichen, do you smell a strange smell?" Her small nose sniffed, and she turned to ask someone next to her, only to see him standing in front of a statue, frowning, as if thinking about something?
"Yichen, what's wrong?" She walked up to him, tugged at his sleeve, and looked at the wax figure he was looking at. But the realistic wax figure looks very much like a real human, and the more you look at it, the more obvious it becomes.
"It's human!" Just as she was about to ask him if this was a real person, his thin lips spat out a few words that frightened her.
"Humans?" She heard something incredible, but she also felt that what he said was true, and reached out to touch the wax figure, and the cold feeling was not wax, but like ice. "This is a real sealed human, and the strange smell I just smelled came from here."
"No, it's the living who are sealed and sealed, and the smell you smell is the dead, there's no cave here, let's look for it!" He denied her words, and dragged her through the wax figures, the more he looked at them, the more frightened he became, most of them were sealed by living people, and only a few were wax figures.
"Here, there's a secret door!" She stepped on the foot of a slightly raised wax figure, and saw that at the thumb of the foot, there was a thin line slightly revealing a little thread, at first she thought it was hair, but after thinking about it, the people here would be frozen, how could there be hair, the only thing that is suspicious is that this thread is the mechanism of the secret door.
