Chapter 96: The Dry Well
Zhou Xiaolong helped Uncle Xue Gang draw a town house talisman for free, and in order to express his gratitude, Uncle Xue Gang's family made a table of sumptuous meals to entertain Zhou Xiaolong.
To say that the chickens and ducks in this countryside do taste better than those bought in the supermarket, the meat is tighter, more chewy, and more fragrant.
"Little brother, Xue Gang always told me that you are a powerful character in the city," Uncle Xue Gang gave a thumbs up and said, "I didn't expect that when we met today, I was still so young, and at such a young age, I had such a skill, which is really amazing!! ”
"Yes, yes, Captain Xiao Zhou is not only strong in Taoism, but also very powerful in martial arts, even the criminal police of the Jinhai City Bureau always come to Longteng Building to ask Xiao Zhou for help......," Xue Gang also praised.
"Where, where." Zhou Xiaolong was polite, in fact, what he said was also the truth.
"It's really amazing, cough cough ......" Uncle Xue Gang said this, and suddenly stopped, and his face suddenly became very mysterious.
"Hey, uncle, what's wrong with you, you can't talk about it," Xue Gang also felt that his uncle was a little inexplicable, "Captain Xiao Zhou is not an outsider, if you have something to say, just say it!" ”
"Ahem, okay...... Well, actually...... Actually......" Uncle Xue Gang said intermittently, "Actually, I want to find a master to come to my house, not just to show the feng shui of the new house, in fact...... In fact...... There is one more thing outside the order...... I've been beating the drum in my heart......"
"Oh?" Zhou Xiaolong couldn't help but ask, "What's the matter?!" ”
Xue Gang was also surprised, so he asked his uncle, "Yes, uncle, what else is going on, why didn't you tell me?" ”
Uncle Xue Gang put the chopsticks on the table and smiled bitterly, "Speaking of which, it's not a big deal, and it has something to do with me building a new house......
Then, Uncle Xue Gang began to tell what happened-
To build a house in the countryside, after choosing a good location, you need to dig the foundation and tamp the foundation to make the house more stable.
The thing happened when digging the foundation, when the workers were digging the soil, they actually found a well, this well, has been dry, and there has been no water for many years.
Even the old people in the village had no idea that there would be a well there, and if they did, they would definitely not have chosen the foundation there.
When a dry well was discovered, the workers didn't pay much attention to it, so they filled it up with the waste from building the house, and then continued to lay the foundation.
After the foundation was laid, the two-storey building was soon built and became what it is now.
However, a strange thing happened, just a few days ago, a villager who laid the foundation for Uncle Xue Gang's house, somehow, suddenly became bedridden and went to the doctor to see him, but the doctor said that there was nothing serious about his health.
However, that person became chattering, as if he had been stimulated by something, and his spirit became more and more abnormal, most of the time he was lying in bed and falling asleep, and when he was a little awake, he was always talking nonsense......
When Zhou Xiaolong and Xue Gang heard this, they both felt that there was something strange about this matter, and Xue Gang was the most puzzled.
Xue Gang asked, "Uncle, why didn't you tell me about this earlier?" ”
Uncle Xue Gang sighed, "Hey, even the doctor can't see anything wrong with this matter, and it's useless to tell you, no, today we invited a master, I'll just say it, let the master listen, is there a way?" ”
Zhou Xiaolong listened very carefully, so he asked: "Always talking nonsense, what are the villagers talking about?" ”
"Two light bulbs ......"
"What?"
"Two light bulbs," Uncle Xue Gang repeated, "light bulbs, two light bulbs, that's what he said." ”
"What do you mean?" Xue Gang couldn't understand it.
"I guess I guess I saw two light bulbs from that dry well," Uncle Xue Gang frowned, "I guess that's what it means." ”
While everyone was talking, suddenly, a person broke in from outside the door, with a frightened face, looking like a local villager.
Looking at the villager's expression, everyone was faintly uneasy.
"Uncle Xue, something happened to Ergou's family......" the villager said.
"What's wrong?!" Uncle Xue Gang immediately asked.
"Two dogs...... He's dead!!! The villager said in fear.
"What?!"
Uncle Xue Gang jumped up when he heard this, his heart shook, his scalp was about to explode, and his face instantly turned pale, "Ergou, he...... How do you say that death is death?! ”
"Ergou, who is Ergou? It can't be the worker who fills in the dry well, right? Zhou Xiaolong asked Uncle Xue Gang.
"That's right, it's !! him" Uncle Xue Gang nodded.
"Let's go, let's go and have a look!" Zhou Xiaolong stood up, feeling a little anxious.
The three of them followed the villagers who reported the news all the way to Ergou's house, and there were already many villagers watching the excitement at the door of Ergou's house.
Zhou Xiaolong followed behind Xue Gang, and when he went in, there was undoubtedly a frightened picture in the room.
The face of the deceased, originally dark-skinned, was extremely white at the moment, without a trace of blood, as if it had been rubbed with a layer of white foundation, especially a pair of eyes, which were covered with dense bloodshots, which had turned crimson and became terrifying blood pupils!!
These pair of blood pupils opened roundly, like two blood holes, oozing sticky and smelly black blood, shocking, as if staring at the person opposite, making people feel a chill in their hearts.
Moreover, this pair of blood pupils seemed to be full of terror, and just by looking at it, there was a feeling of losing one's soul.
Under the gaze, Uncle Xue Gang's eyes suddenly darkened, and he stumbled under his feet, almost falling to the ground.
Zhou Xiaolong said in his heart, what has this person experienced? How terrifying death can be???!!!
Several people exited the deceased's room, and Xue Gang couldn't help but pull Zhou Xiaolong and asked, "Captain Xiao Zhou, is this ...... What's going on, could there be some monsters in the village!! ”
"It's hard to say now, it seems that I need to investigate this matter carefully......" Zhou Xiaolong looked at Xue Gang with a frightened face, "Don't be afraid, it's okay with me, I won't leave tonight, stay in the village for one night and see what the problem is?!" ”
……
This murder must be directly related to the dry well, so Zhou Xiaolong decided to keep vigil in the rough house to see if there were really any monsters in this village?!
In the rough room, Xue Gang helped Zhou Xiaolong get a folding bed and a clean bedding.
After packing up, Xue Gang didn't want to leave, and originally wanted to stay by Zhou Xiaolong's side.
Xue Gang was born in a special forces, and his skills are not bad, and the two of them keep vigil together, so they can take care of them.
However, Zhou Xiaolong rejected Xue Gang's kindness and insisted on keeping vigil by himself.
Because, Zhou Xiaolong couldn't tell what kind of monster he was going to face, and mortals like Xue Gang could only get in the way by his side.
Zhou Xiaolong hoped that Uncle Fat Bird would be by his side to help, but unfortunately, Uncle Bai Zimo was not at the scene, but fortunately he brought the magic weapon of the Wood Ghost Stick, which might come in handy once a monster appeared......
