Chapter 214: Can't Settle Debts
The old man's words made Hua Lan's heart flutter a little, and her steps towards the well slowed down.
At this moment, there were two women dressed as villagers fetching water by the well, and when they saw her walking over, they politely gave way to the side.
The water was drawn from a sturdy wooden barrel, and the two women were probably acquainted with each other, and were filling the bucket in two larger jugs.
The jug was quickly filled before a woman handed the bucket to Hua Lan.
At this moment, a young man came by the side of the road, probably eighteen or nineteen years old. He walked in a hurry, his face was covered with dust, and he seemed to be in a hurry.
Before Hua Lan's bucket was thrown into the well, he begged, "This son, can you let me go first, I'll fill the water and leave." ”
The water bladder in Hua Lan's hand is not big, a large bucket of well water is not enough to fit, and the water bladder of the young man will be rich, not to mention, there is water in the water bladder in her hand at all.
That being said, you have to pretend. She said, "It's okay, a bucket of water is enough." ”
As she spoke, she threw the bucket down the well, leaned on the edge of the well, and saw the bucket float up in the water, and began to shake her arms vigorously to sink the bucket into the well and fill it with water.
The barrel tilted, and the well water began to slowly submerge the barrel, Hua Lan concentrated, and the strength of her arms was used on the barrel rope, and when she saw that the bucket was filled with water, she began to pull upwards with all her strength.
Pulling up, you must pay full attention, Hua Lan didn't notice the hands of the young man on the side who were gradually reaching for him.
As the bucket gradually rises, so does the power used by Hua Lan. Her upper body was poking into the mouth of the well, her head was down, and her whole body was lying on the edge of the well, all her attention focused on the strength of her hands.
The depth of the well was about twenty or thirty meters, and when there were still more than ten meters, Hua Lan suddenly felt that the center of gravity of her body was pushed vigorously from behind, and the whole person began to rush down to the well.
"Not good!"
As soon as this thought flashed, Hua Lan's body had already begun to sink headfirst towards the bottom of the well.
The well water was clear and cold, and Hua Lan felt like a weightless bucket falling into the cold well water. In the next second, his head was empty, and he didn't even feel conscious.
"Hey, young man, I said it earlier, the edge of the well is too slippery, pay attention, pay attention! It's not, it's fallen into a well. ”
The dining table under the tent was still calm, and the old man slowly put a large piece of beef in his mouth and chewed it, casually raising his eyelids and sighing.
The master is deliberately avoiding the old man, and the spring silkworm understands it in his heart. Her attention was focused on the boiled eggs to be digested, and naturally she didn't look at the well at the entrance of the village.
Hua San has the same psychology as the spring silkworm, the well at the entrance of the village is not more than twenty or thirty meters away from the noodle shop, and he didn't stuff it into his head when he got a water accident.
And Jinse, she really hates the playboy at the moment.
Why should they be so respectful to such a strange old man, it is obvious that this old man is deliberately teasing them.
When the three of them heard the old man speak slowly, they were so shocked that they all turned back to look at the well at the entrance of the village.
But no, the edge of the well was empty, and the playboy was gone.
The spring silkworm reacted immediately and ran towards the well.
Ran to the edge of the well and looked down, oh my god, it was going to kill someone.
The queen was floating motionless on her back in the well water.
"Save the master!"
Spring silkworm's eyes suddenly darkened, and she almost didn't fall into the well water, but fortunately, it was Hua Sanyi who grabbed her wrist after her. Only then did he pull her back from the edge of the well.
At this time, Jinse also came. She took out her iron claw and threw it at Hua Lan in the well water, and the iron claw grabbed Hua Lan and used force violently, and began to lift Hua Lan up from the well water.
Seeing this, Spring Silkworm and Hua San hurriedly came over to help.
The three of them worked together and quickly pulled Hua Lan up from the well. As soon as Hua Lan's head popped out of the edge of the well, the spring silkworm hurriedly hugged her tightly and dragged her out of the edge.
Soon, Hua San borrowed the meadow from the noodle shop, and the spring silkworm hugged Hua Lan on the meadow, choking helplessly: "What can I do, how can I do it." ”
Hua Lan lay on the meadow, her face was gloomy, her eyes were closed, and there was no breath in her nostrils.
At this time, the old man finally finished eating a large bowl of scallion oil noodles in front of him with satisfaction, he wiped his mouth and stood up unhurriedly, walked to Hua Lan's side and squatted down unhurriedly, sighing: "Hey, Keling's baby, why can't you listen to Master's words." Let you be careful, let you be careful. Let's see, now that we've learned a lesson, right? ”
The master is out of breath, and the old man is still here talking weirdly.
The spring silkworm was so angry that she wiped two handfuls of tears and jumped over: "I said old man, isn't it schadenfreude?" If it weren't for you, how could my master have fallen into the well? ”
"What do you mean by that, stinky girl?"
The old man didn't show weakness, his little white beard curled, and his eyelids couldn't help but roll upward: "My old man kindly reminded my apprentice." Now it's become that I, as a master, don't read it? Who taught you so unreasonable, the teacher's fate is like a mountain, do you understand?
She is my apprentice, she doesn't listen to the master's words, she doesn't suffer a little, and she doesn't go to heaven? Have you ever seen an apprentice who doesn't listen to the master? ”
The master's life and death are now unknown, and the old man went to reprimand himself for useless nonsense.
The spring silkworm was so angry that her stomach bulged into a ball, but fortunately, Hua San was reasonable.
He stepped forward and grabbed the spring silkworm who was gritting his teeth and was about to quarrel with the old man, and said to the old man very respectfully: "Old man, listen to your tone, my young son will definitely not worry about his life." Please also give me a helping hand, and I must save my son-in-law. ”
"Well, this kid's words are quite good."
The old man glared at the cross-eyed spring silkworm, showing a hint of comfort and nodded to Hua San: "Don't worry, my apprentice, how can I let her die easily, and besides, your master's life is not something anyone can take away, not even Lord Yama." ”
He stepped forward and stretched out his foot and kicked Hualan in the back twice, "It's not a big deal." It's just that I choked on the water twice, and it was fine when I spit it out. ”
The old man's two feet were not light, and it took three hours and a second to see the master turn over and lie on the ground with his head down. Looking at it again, the master's body suddenly bowed upward, and he actually spit out water in a big gulp.
Hua Lan felt the world spinning, several large mouths of well water spit out, and the headache was about to crack for a while, and her mind gradually became clear.
"Master?"
When the spring silkworm saw that the master woke up, she cried with joy and wiped her tears, came up to help Hua Lan up, and kept asking: "Master, where are you uncomfortable, are you uncomfortable?" ”
Hua Lan's hazy eyes gradually cleared.
Sitting on a large meadow, a few meters away from the well, she touched her wet body, and then remembered the moment she fell to the bottom of the well.
She was fetching water in a good manner, and it was clear that someone behind her deliberately pushed her and pushed her into the well.
She settled down, and in front of her was the spring silkworm Jinse and Hua San, and there was a very important figure, the old man.
She remembered the old man's reminder before she left the table.
It's strange, how could the old man not know the prophet, she would be plotted by someone and fall into the well?
She didn't believe in the mystical art of the Prophet of Unknown, but she knew that there must be something strange about it.
What kind of weirdness will it be? Hua Lan's gaze fell on the scorching face of the spring silkworm: "Did you see who pushed me?" ”
"I don't know?"
Chun Silkworm asked Hua San and Jin Se for help in a daze, seeing that both of them were even more dazed, remembering the old man's reminder at a critical time, he hurriedly walked to the old man's side, and asked very respectfully: "Uncle, you must know who is going to harm my master, right?" Please tell the spring silkworm that if the spring silkworm catches him, he will definitely be broken into pieces. ”
"Ten thousand broken corpses? The tone is not small! ”
When the old man saw that Hua Lan had woken up, he glanced at the spring silkworm and said arrogantly: "Since the person is awake, it's not a big deal." Let's settle the front of the noodle shop first. The noodles were ordered by the apprentice to the master, can this matter be relied upon? ”
Hua Lan understood, it turned out that this old man really saved herself.
…….
Face money, how could Hua Lan rely on it, not to mention such a great life-saving grace.
Hua Lan got up from the ground, didn't care about the wet and dripping water, and gave the old man a salute very respectfully, and returned to the noodle shop to pay the noodle money.
A small village, but there are only more than 20 households, and there are no people around the radius, Hua Lan can't think of anyone who is so mischievous to harm her.
Whether it was Qingtangmen or Chu Baishan, Hua Lan was once again vigilant at this moment.
The person couldn't be caught, and there was no time to hover here, so Hua Lan decided to put this matter aside and continue to hurry up.
She was covered in soaked water droplets, so she said to Hua San: "I'll catch the car with you, so that I can also blow some wind." When it's almost evening, we'll find a big town to live in. Everyone can also take a good shower, buy a few sets of clothes to change, and get a good night's sleep. ”
Hua San nodded, helped Hua Lan into the carriage, and Jin Se and Chun Silkworm sat in the carriage.
The carriage was about to move forward, but the old man on the side was not happy, he stretched out his hand and said that the carriage stopped: "I said apprentice, did you treat the master like this?" Why did the apprentice still leave the master by himself? ”
The carriage was about to move forward, but the old man on the side was not happy, he stretched out his hand and said that the carriage stopped: "I said apprentice, did you treat the master like this?" Why did the apprentice still leave the master by himself? ”
Hua Lan didn't understand the old man's intentions, so she hurriedly leaned over in the car and asked, "Master, do you have anything else?" Do you mean a ride? This is not difficult, where you go, we will send you there first. ”
"It's like a saying, the master is going to Kunlun Mountain, and the apprentice will send me there. Save the master from worrying, there is no carriage on the road, it's really not good, the master can only arrive in the year of the monkey. ”
The old man said, while stretching out his hand to pat the snow without a trace, "This horse is really good, very strong, and it can run back and forth for 108,000 miles without breathing." Master can put his mind at ease. ”
This old man really put his nose on his face. Isn't this clearly to rely on the master to bargain?
The master can bear it, but the spring silkworm can't bear it.
