Chapter 256: One of the Mysteries of the Ancient Well
Hearing my uncle say this, I didn't get angry anymore, and shouted into the phone: "Uncle, what are you talking about, why didn't you save you when you died last night?" β
The uncle was obviously stunned for a moment, but instead smiled: "I said nephew, which tendon is wrong with you today?" β
Now that the words have been spoken, there is no need for me to hide it, I just said it all in one go: "Uncle, you knew that Fa Dian was seriously injured last night, and you have also cooperated twice, why did you just throw your hands and leave?" Even if...... Even if you can't save him, at least you can give us an idea! β
After I took some duty on the phone, I finally vented all the emotions I was squeezing in my heart.
After I finished speaking, my uncle replied softly: "It's over!" β
"Pull it out!"
"Well, I'll tell you why!" Uncle still spoke slowly and logically, speaking slowly, "Coffin Li is also a person in our circle, there is an unwritten rule in this circle, that is, you can't meddle in other people's affairs, I have told you just now, the monk hurt his vitality this time, the current person, only Coffin Li's paper-cutting skills can save him, if I am here, he will not make a move." β
"Ahh I was a little speechless for a moment, the plot reversed a little quickly, it turned out that my uncle left in a hurry for a reason.
"And this...... Uncle...... Really...... I'm so sorry! β
Stumbling, I couldn't get a coherent sentence.
The uncle was not angry: "Take care of him these days, this monk is also a rare good person." β
"Good guys? Uncle, you may not know, he may be a child trafficker...... I briefly told the story of the red boy, and after listening to it, the uncle only replied lightly, "There must be a mystery behind this matter, but the truth is definitely not what you think." β
"Uncleβthe child is at his house! Again, it's not fake. β
"It's really fake, you can't just look at the surface, in short, you believe me, honestly guard the old monk, don't worry about anything!"
I wanted to refute my uncle, but I opened my mouth, but I didn't know what to say. Oh, yes! Uncle's words are all said about this, what else do I say? My uncle is considered a master in the world, and my maternal uncle will never harm me, and I have no reason not to believe his words.
After deducting the phone, I felt extremely relaxed, and hurried back to the yard, where I saw the red boy squatting on the ground and watching the ants move, with a happy face.
"Usually it's just you and grandpa at home?" I was still reluctant, and continued to try to ask the little boy, thinking that I could ask some useful clues.
"No!"
I was overjoyed: "Who else is there?" β
Red Boy blinked: "Kuroko sometimes comes to play with me, but ...... But it was the dead of night, and when you came that night, I thought it was a sunspot! β
I was so shocked that I almost cried out.
"Kuroko? Which sunspot!! β
The red boy smiled, revealing two small dimples: "A sunspot is a sunspot!" He won't see anyone but his grandfather. β
I was sweating at the words of the red boy: "The sunspot you are talking about is not ...... It's not human, is it? β
Red Boy thought for a moment before replying, "I really can't tell the difference between this - but I remember one time Grandpa said he was a snake!" β
The back of my head instantly seemed to be electrified, and when I heard the name "sunspot" just now, I was already trembling in my heart, but the facts I thought of were too shocking, and there was still a trace of luck: what if it wasn't!
Hearing the red boy say that the "sunspot" is a snake, the shock in my heart! Dotted Library
No wonder such a giant snake lives in the village, the villagers don't know, it turns out that the coffin is making trouble, what is this old guy trying to do? Could it be that so many animal carcasses are picked up in the middle of the night to feed the snakes? When I thought about it, I suddenly felt that things were complicated.
However, my uncle's words have always haunted my mind, he said that if there is no bad person in the coffin, he must not be a bad person, and there must be an unknown willingness behind these things.
Seeing that the red boy was having fun alone in the yard, I casually found an excuse to go to the supermarket to buy something and went out of the yard.
I thought that I might be able to ask something from the villagers, after all, they and Coffin Li belong to the same village, so they should know something. Although the autumn harvest had just passed, the people of Qilijing Village were still busy, and I walked along the street in the middle of the village, meeting two old men and a woman along the way.
Cheekily stopped the first old man.
"Uncle, ask something!"
The old man was a little old, and obviously a little deaf in his ears, and when he asked me what I was talking about, I said it three times in a row, and the last time it was almost yelled, and he nodded his head, indicating that he heard it, and complained about what I was doing so loudly.
"What relatives does Coffin Li have?"
"Coffin Lee! His parents only had him in their forties, and he didn't have any brothers and sisters, so how could he have relatives! β
I asked, "Who is his little boy?" β
"Little boy, what little boy?"
"A child of five or six years old, dressed in red!"
The old man shook his head: "I haven't seen it!" I've never heard of him having children. β
I was not reconciled and continued to ask: "Is there a big snake in the well outside the courtyard in the coffin?" β
The old man cracked his catfish-like mouth, laughed, and coughed a few more times before he slowly spoke: "Young man, you are not from our village, since you know the ancient well, you must have heard something!" I'll tell you the truth! There were no snakes in the well, but there were water ghosts, still one big and one small! β
I've heard similar things, but I don't think it's too strange.
"Uncle, this statement of water ghosts must be rumors! Where the hell came from in the world? β
The old man shook his head very seriously: "Not really! When many people pass by the ancient well at night, they hear the cry of a woman coming from the well, and they cry miserably! β
Profound? The cry of a woman - the sound of the black snake when it is opened!
"Uncle, I know you said that, and there is another reason, that is, a mother and daughter once drowned in this well.
The old man sighed: "Yes! What a miserable death! The family surnamed Wei can be regarded as having received retribution, and the whole family has contracted a strange disease and died! β
At this time, the woman with the basket also came over, and first greeted the old man, calling him "Haibo", probably hearing the conversation between the two of us, and interjecting a sentence.
"Good is rewarded with good, and evil is rewarded, it's not that you don't repay it, the time has not come!"
"Sister-in-law, why do you feel like this?"
The woman pouted and replied: "It's not the family surnamed Wei, because the daughter-in-law gave birth to a daughter, they feel very shameless, so they don't treat other mothers and daughters as people at all, and the mother and daughter really can't bear it, so they find a short meeting!"
This is also forced to have no choice! β
