Chapter 247: The Mystery of the Ancient Well

I had already stepped out with my left foot, and when I heard the supermarket proprietress say this, I turned around and turned back: "Ah! What do you mean, you just said he was a good guy......"

The proprietress sprinkled a handful of melon seeds on the table in her left hand and explained, "What's so strange about this, you mean that good people can be provoked?" ”

I hurriedly waved my hand and smiled: "I didn't mean that - auntie, you must not say this for no reason!" ”

The proprietress grinned: "too! Seeing that one of you is a monk, young man, you look quite energetic, you shouldn't be a bad person...... Old man Li is definitely a good person, but he has some strange behavior and strange temper! ”

I scratched my head and shook my head to show that I didn't understand.

The proprietress stared, as if she had made a big decision, and then raised her tone: "There is nothing to hide, half of the village knows that Old Man Li often rides a tricycle out in the middle of the night and does not come back until the early morning of the next day...... And also...... He planted several acres of land, both corn and wheat, which were much better than the surrounding crop fields. ”

I replied casually: "It must be a good plant!" ”

The proprietress smiled directly: "What are you talking about!" You don't know, he never went to work in the fields during the day. ”

This surprised me: "Not going during the day? Meaning to go at night? ”

Unexpectedly, the proprietress shook her head: "I don't go at night - there are many people who see three or five red-faced strong men working in his field in the middle of the night, and these people all look the same and have the same expressions, but none of them have seen these red-faced men enter the village......"

This surprised me even more, and I hurriedly asked, "Is there anything else?" Could it be that he hired people from outside the village? ”

The proprietress only smiled and shook her head, and didn't say anything more.

At this time, Fa Dian, who had not spoken, interjected: "Stupid! Those are not people at all. ”

"Not human?" My scalp felt like it was being electrified, and I couldn't help but stumble.

The proprietress opened her mouth and said: "This is also the case in the village, and it is said that his family has made coffins for three generations, and he must often deal with the dead, maybe there is still friendship below!" He pointed to the soles of his feet.

I understood in seconds and nodded.

Fa Yi just smiled and didn't say anything.

The two of them went out of the supermarket, pondering the words of the supermarket proprietress while walking, and always felt a little unreliable, just at this time an old man walked out of the alley on one side, holding a twenty money in his hand, and it seemed that he wanted to come to the supermarket to buy something.

When the old man saw me, he was obviously stunned for a moment, and I instantly recognized it, didn't he just tell me not to go near the well at the head of the village!

"Uncle, you ...... You're buying! ”

I jumped up and said hello.

The old man nodded: "Why haven't you left yet?" "The tone is unfriendly.

"Think...... I want to go to the coffin Li's house, but there is no one in his house ......" said and quickly took out a cigarette from his pocket, took out one and handed it over.

The old man was not polite, took the cigarette and glanced at it, then stuffed it into his mouth, and asked me: "What's the matter, there is no one in the family?" ”

"Gone" means "dead" locally.

It would be unlucky to answer "yes", and it seemed inappropriate to answer "no", so I smirked a few times in response.

Lighting a cigarette, the old man's tone softened a lot.

"Then book a coffin and leave!" After saying that, he turned sideways and walked towards the supermarket.

At first glance, this is a stubborn old man!

I think I still have to visit these households, after all, I have something in my hand at this time, and I won't be kicked out if I carry something into the house, right? But Fa Dian waved his hand and said that he would come back in the evening. vp

At night? I subconsciously frowned, this monk is not a night cat, why do you have to act at night almost every time!

When I passed by the well, I asked Fa Dian, "What is wrong with this well?" ”

Fa Dian only glanced at it: "There are dead people!" The anger is still very great, and the people who are soft are easy to get sick when they get close. ”

"Dead people?" I was stunned, "You mean you drowned in a well?" ”

Fa Dian smiled: "I don't know how I died, maybe I drank too much water to die!" ”

I knew he was joking, and I didn't care, but continued to ask: "It's an old well, it's normal to drown people before!" You can see that the stones by the well have been smoothed out, and I guess there are still people using ......."

"It's not! There is not one person who died, and it has not been more than twenty years, and they are all sinking to the bottom of the water now! ”

Fa Ying's tone was still flat, and the three things that could be said made me tremble three times in a row, and almost subconsciously replied: "This is impossible!" ”

Before he could reply, an old man with a bucket walked to the well, apparently to fetch water.

I was overjoyed in my heart, and pointed to the old man who was fetching water and said to Fa Dian: "Look! Whether it has been dead or not, people in their own village must know...... This water should be fine! You don't know if you don't live by the river, this groundwater is warm in winter and cool in summer, and it is much better than tap water on the ground! ”

Fa Dian didn't reply, but looked at me like a fool.

As I spoke, the old man had already walked up to my side.

I hurriedly handed over the cigarette: "Uncle, there is no running water at home!" Why do you still dig well water! ”

I suppose the old man must have taken the cigarette first, then grinned and replied that the river water was not as good as the well water.

I didn't expect to get anything right.

The old man shook his head and said that he couldn't smoke, and at their age, there were very few people who didn't smoke in the countryside, but I didn't expect that I would meet it this time.

"People have drowned in this well before, and the water can't be drunk!"

As he spoke, he walked to the well and began to fetch water and pour it into the bucket.

"Can't drink it?" I was shocked again, "Why can't you drink water?" ”

The old man began to pull the second bucket of water again, and replied, "There are a few pigs at home, and I wonder if the well water is free!" ”

"Ahh I looked at the smiling Fa Dian, and at this moment there was a word "service" echoing in my heart!

"When did you drown!" I took a few deep breaths before I managed to restrain my excited heart.

"It's been ten or twenty years!" The old man carried two buckets of water and walked back.

I hurriedly asked again: "Uncle, the drowned child?" Accidentally fell! ”

"One big and one small, the woman who jumps down with the child in her arms is committing suicide!" After speaking, the person had already walked out more than ten meters away.

I didn't want to miss the opportunity, so I hurriedly shouted at the old man's back: "Uncle, how did people get it?" ”

"The body was rotten when it was found, and her family didn't care, who wants to meddle in things!"

After speaking, the old man turned into an alley on one side.

"There are two swollen and rotting corpses floating in the well, one large and one small, this well can still be used!"

Fa Dian smiled conventionally: "Pig! The sheep don't care...... Besides, the corpse will turn to bones and sink to the bottom! ”
