In the rumors of Zhangjiagou, the old well at the head of the village is mysterious, some people say that there is a big rat under the old well, some people say that the evil fox is suppressed below, and some people say that there is a big python thicker than the water tank living below.

I ran home with a numb scalp, closed the doors and windows, and hid under the quilt shaking like chaff, and I didn't dare to see what was in the well, because those eyes were like an abyss, and goosebumps exploded all over my body.

My mother knew that I went to bed early at night, so the next morning I came to Ma Ma Liang and called me to get up and go to the field with her to hoe the grass, at that time I had difficulty breathing, and I heard my mother call my name in a daze, but I couldn't wake up, only saw my mother's anxious figure running out of the door, and then rushed back with a group of people.

The leader of this group of people is the village chief, I have said before, when the anti-Japanese war was the village chief was shot through the thigh by a Japanese officer, so many years have passed, when the young village chief has become the old village chief, because his leg has been sick for many years, so he has been sick for a long time, and the old Chinese medicine doctor in the town learned acupuncture, over the years also cured many incurable diseases of the village.

When the village chief saw me lying on the bed, he opened my eyelids and glanced at me, frowned and said, "Yangyang, this kid is afraid that he will be frightened and cause external evil to enter the body, which is exactly the same as the situation of the second fool back then. ”

The village chief's mouth of the second fool refers to the child who was pushed into the old well with me when he was a child, more than ten years have passed, the second fool's brain has always had problems, he couldn't swim at the beginning, fell into the well and sank, after being rescued, the whole body spasms, has been rolling his eyes, if it wasn't for the timely needle, a small life would have been gone.

Although the second fool survived, he has become a fool since then, I used to see him pitiful so I took good care of him, but after all, he has a problem with his brain, he is not popular, he can't listen to good things to him, and as soon as those gangsters in the village instigate him, he walks down the road, and even I scold, and the scolding is very ugly.

Later, the second fool developed a new business, which is to help the gangsters in the village to ask for accounts, our village is a backward mountain village, and there are many people who are married by close relatives, and there are more than two fools, among which there is a female fool named Hanya, who is just paired with the second fool.

Those gangsters take the two fools and Hanya with them wherever they go to ask for accounts, but if the people who are asked for the accounts don't pay back, the gangsters who take the lead will say: "Two fools and Hanya, do things!" ”

So the second fool and the fool will take off their clothes in broad daylight to do things at the door of people's homes, like two happy dogs, completely ignoring the presence of adults and children, and shouting the name of the debtor while doing things, so that the scene is woolen, and ordinary people can't afford to lose this person, even if they borrow the east wall to make up the west wall, they have to pay back the money they owe first.

If I become a fool, the gangsters in the village who have always looked at me will pull me out all day long to do all kinds of errands, then I will be finished?

When my mother heard that I might become a fool, she cried out in a hurry, and the village chief pricked me with a silver needle, and I only felt a tingling pain, and I exhaled a breath, and after a while, my body regained consciousness.

"It's okay, I hold my evil breath in my lungs, and it's okay to spit it out." As he spoke, the village chief put away the silver needle, looked at me and asked, "Where did you go last night?" ”

I was a little weak and said, "Old well, there's something in it." ”

My words made the faces of everyone present change, and the mother said with a crying voice: "What are you doing there when you have nothing to do, this child?" ”

When I was pushed into the old well with the second fool, after the second fool was pulled up, the mouth kept saying that there was a big snake in the well, which made people panic, the village chief took people to fish in the old well for a long time and did not find the big snake, and then sealed the old well, my mother was afraid that I would have an accident again, so I asked me to stay away from the old well in the future, and don't talk about everything related to the old well.

I didn't want to go to the old well last night, but the huge eyes in the well bewitched me, I always thought that the woman in white in my dream was a fox fairy, but the eyes in the well were clearly not fox eyes.

Could it be that I was haunted with a snake in my dreams night and night?

I've been afraid of snakes since I was a child, and the thought of the snake's squirming and slippery body makes me sick to my stomach.

But I didn't dare to tell anyone about the woman in white, let alone my mother, for fear that she would worry, so I had to keep my mouth shut.

At this moment, a person's shout suddenly came from outside the door: "The village chief is not good, the big thing is not good, the grave of Zhang Fugui's family has been dug up!" ”

"People are buried and graves are still being dug up?" When the village chief heard this, his face was furious, and he rushed out of the door in a rage. "Damn, which king and eight lambs did it, if you find out, you have to burn this turtle grandson, it's endless!"

A group of people followed the village chief to the ancestral cemetery, only to see three soil holes appear on the graves of Zhang Fugui's family of three.

"Village chief, what's wrong with this, how can someone dig a grave like this, this is his family of three who cheated the corpse!" A villager said.

"You can eat indiscriminately, don't talk nonsense, what age is it, and you still cheat the corpse? Are you putting on an old bachelor? The village chief reprimanded him angrily, and he followed the direction of the new mud at the head of the grave, and after a while came to the old well at the head of the village.

At that time, I also walked out of the house, the village chief looked at me without speaking, and looked at the old well with a suspicious expression, his face became iron-blue, and then said in a deep voice: "The copyist will first fish up the corpse of Zhang Fugui's family, and then go to the town to invite Xu Banxian." ”

The corpse of Zhang Fugui's family has once again become the focus of discussion among the villagers, and the grave of his family of three is pouted, but it is obvious that no one will do this more, and specially dig three soil holes to drag the corpses out one by one, and it seems that the corpses crawled out of the grave by themselves.

As for why they jumped into the old well after they climbed out, no one could understand this.

But what I didn't expect was that this matter would suddenly involve me, not long ago when the village chief gave me an injection, I said that I came to the old well last night, and in a blink of an eye it has spread in the village.

As for Xu Banxian, who the village chief said, he is a famous Mr. Yin and Yang in the town.

It is rumored that this Xu Banxian is an immortal, born with a pair of yin and yang eyes, able to see things that ordinary people can't see, Xu Banxian fortune-telling is also very accurate, for example, whose child's eight characters can blurt out at a glance, who can also calculate how many trees are planted in front of the house and behind the house, if he says who will die in the third watch, the king of Hades will not dare to stay until the fifth watch.

When the countrymen are buried, they have to ask the half-immortal to choose the feng shui treasure before the coffin, Xu Banxian is the most famous Mr. Yin and Yang in our mountain, and the cost of inviting him out of the mountain is several times that of other Mr. Yin and Yang, so it is also a shameful thing to invite Xu Banxian after the death of the old man in the family.

After Xu Banxian arrived in Zhangjiagou at noon that day, the village chief entertained him with good wine and food, and told Xu Banxian about what happened in Zhangjiagou recently, after eating, Xu Banxian held a compass around the village, and then came to the old well at the head of the village, saying that this old well is the feng shui eye of the Zhang family to communicate with the underworld, the yin qi is too heavy, Zhang Fugui's family died in vain, and there is resentment on the body, so it will be repeated to cheat the corpse, as long as Zhang Fugui's family is cremated, and then drain the well water, and then fill the well with soil, then it will be fine.

The village chief went to Zhang Fugui's relatives to discuss the money for the cremation, but Zhang Fugui's relatives saw that the 200,000 yuan could not find clues and were unwilling to pay at all.

In the evening, the water of the old well can be pumped to the bottom, everyone is around the old well and waiting to see the excitement, after all, in the legend of Zhangjiagou, the old well is a big mouse and a big snake, who knows that the water is drained and does not see anything terrible.

But just when everyone was about to fill the well, the old bachelor appeared out of place, and sang inopportunely: "Xu Banxian, Xu Banxian, buried in the well, invisible......"

Xu Banxian is highly respected in the town's ten miles and eight villages, even if the ruffians and hooligans see him, they have to be respectful, it is rumored that he has an aura on his body, even if a fool sees him, he knows to avoid, ordinary people see Xu Banxian is like seeing a real immortal, they don't dare to offend at all, and there is no doubt about his words, who knows that the old bachelor suddenly jumped out at this juncture, and he also danced and sang, which made Xu Banxian's old face blue for a while.

Seeing that Xu Banxian's face was not good-looking, the village chief immediately scolded angrily: "Old bachelor, do you believe that Lao Tzu tore your mouth apart?" It's embarrassing all day long, and the dog can't spit out ivory in his mouth! ”

After the village chief finished speaking, he beckoned a few villagers around him to pull the old bachelor away, and the old bachelor laughed and said that Xu Banxian would die if he filled in the well.

The village chief looked at Xu Banxian with an embarrassed face and said, "Don't mind, Banxian, this old boy used to be raided because of his identity, and he was locked up in the cowshed for ten years, and he had a problem with his brain." ”

"He was the apprentice of that Ma Daoist back then?" Xu Banxian asked.

"Yes, yes, I didn't expect the half-immortals to know this."

"Well, I heard that a Maoshan Taoist priest surnamed Ma came to the mountain a few decades ago, and his ability is very, Maoshan Dao is the Shangqing School, which is very different from my Heavenly Master's Dao, if he can still live until now, I really want to learn from him, but unfortunately the times have changed, Taoism has declined, and Maoshan ancestral land has become a free amusement attraction for secular people.

Xu Banxian said while directing the villagers to fill in the well, and it was not until dark that the old well was filled, so that the mysterious old well in Zhangjiagou, which had been rumored for more than ten years, finally stopped, and all rumors about him became rumors.

I was muttering to myself, for I had seen the eyes in the old well last night, and how could there be nothing in the well after the water had drained out? Not even a small snake was seen.

After dinner, my mother gave me a yellow talisman folded into a triangle, she said that this was a talisman to Xu Banxian to ward off evil spirits, and told me to take it with me when I went to bed at night, although the old well has been filled in now, but my mother was frightened by my appearance today. Later, I learned that she waited for Xu Banxian to chase a long way home after eating, and then bought the evil charm from Xu Banxian for a hundred yuan.

Our family's meals are all grown in the field, and my mother is used to being frugal, sometimes a hundred yuan is enough for her expenses for two months, and when I know this, I feel very uncomfortable.

That night, I was actually afraid to dream of the woman in white again, because the eyes in the well really scared me out of the psychological shadow.

I don't know if it's the psychological effect or the evil charm that my mother asked for from Xu Banxian has played a role, and I haven't dreamed of the woman in white coming to me again when I dream at night.

But the next day, a strange incident made the villagers of Zhangjiagou and even the entire mountain ten miles and eight villages explode.

Because Xu Banxian is dead.
