Chapter Twenty-Four: The Dry Well

We sheltered from the rain in the wing, but I don't think it's appropriate to say it's a wing, it looks more like a storage room.

There are many porcelain vases on the partition of this room, and there is a carved Dan furnace in the middle. It looks like something modern and I don't know how long it has been deserted.

The pattern on the porcelain vase is very beautiful, and I think Dong Ge must like it, so I took one of the most unique ones on the shelf and prepared to take a photo and send it to him.

But the porcelain bottle is a little unexpectedly heavy in my hand. I shook it, it seemed to contain something, and I put my phone in my pocket again.

Then he poured out a round thing, like a chocolate bean. I took something and sniffed it on my nose, and there was a smell of medicine mixed with a faint musty smell, and the smell was a little up.

Without waiting for me to take a closer look, Master Fu snatched the porcelain bottle and pill, and glared at me with a serious face: "Chen Huai! You're messing up again? "I was a little weak-hearted, so I didn't speak.

Fu Ye took out a pair of gloves from his bag and handed them to me: "I know your stinky problem, na, wear it." ”

I thanked Master Fu and continued to grope after putting on my gloves, but this time I didn't find anything.

The rain was still falling outside, but there was no thunder, which made the rain look a lot softer.

I took out my phone and looked at it, it was already lunch time, plus I had barely slept the night before, and now I was hungry and sleepy, and I felt like I had reached the limit of my body.

I already have low blood sugar, and I get dizzy when I'm hungry. I saw that there were some signs of illness in my body, so I hurriedly found a place to sit down, and put my hand on my forehead to slow down.

Lao Jiu saw that something was wrong with me, so he hurriedly came over and asked me: "Huaizi, are you okay?" ”

Fu Ye took out his pocket watch, looked at the time and said, "It should be hypoglycemia, I know he has this problem." ”

Lao Jiu asked Master Fu to bring me a few compressed biscuits, I took a look, I really didn't want to eat them, so I shook my head at him.

Lao Jiu squatted down and asked me softly, "Don't you want to eat cookies?" I remember who had a self-heating pot in their bag? ”

As soon as Lao Jiu said this, I remembered that I had two boxes of self-heating rice in my bag, and I was about to get it when I got up, but Master Fu pressed me down: "You sit and rest, I'll get it for you." ”

After Master Fu brought the things, I found a new problem, the water we brought was almost consumed, and we needed to replenish it immediately.

Lao Jiu stood up at this time and said, "It doesn't matter, this is a temple, there should be a well or a river, otherwise those monks will not have a living guarantee." ”

Master Fu immediately instructed Chen Ran and Brother Wu to go nearby to find a water source, and when I saw that everyone was running for me, I felt a little unhappy in my heart, and secretly scolded myself for being hypocritical.

Then I grabbed the compressed biscuit and nibbled on it. Sure enough, when people are hungry, everything they eat is fragrant, and even the jujube flavor that I have always disliked has become a delicacy in the world at this time.

I ate two pieces and was a little unsatisfied, and I was about to take another piece to eat, but the rotten master reminded me not to eat more, this thing will swell my stomach when I touch the water, and it will be uncomfortable to eat too much. I nodded, and put it down.

We were waiting here for Brother Wu and Chen Ran to come back, and we didn't see any movement for a long time, but my eyelids began to fight.

I looked at everyone and saw that everyone had nothing to do, so I squinted and prepared to take a nap. As a result, he fell asleep on the table. I don't know how long it took for me to be woken up by Chen Ran's voice.

I rubbed my eyes, adjusting to the light and slowly opening them, the rain outside had stopped. Chen Ran held the kettle in his hand, raised his eyebrows and said something, he saw me wake up and sat down in front of me.

His eyebrows fluttered and he said, "Brother Huai, what do you think I have discovered?" When he saw that I did not answer, he said, "I have found a dry well near the courtyard wall." It was hard to hide the excitement on his face as he spoke.

Dry? What's so strange about this, I said to myself.

However, his next words aroused everyone's interest. He said: "As far as I can observe, there are mechanisms on the wall of the well. ”

Hearing this, I immediately stood up, everyone put their backpacks on their backs, and urged Chen Ran to take us over. The rotten master waved his hand: "Wait a minute, Xu Wu hasn't come back yet." ”

I glanced around, but I really didn't see Brother Wu. I waited patiently for a while, but Brother Wu still didn't come back, and at this time, I don't know whose old man's machine rang, and he was telling the time with a mechanical voice.

It was already four o'clock in the afternoon, because it was winter, so it got dark very early, and it had rained before, and the sky at this time looked a little darker than usual.

About half an hour later, during this time, the rotten master kept calling Brother Wu, but he didn't get through. I didn't think it would be the way to go, so I offered to leave him a note or text him to prepare for both.

We left a note for him and left marks along the way, hoping that he would find us and join us in the shortest possible time.

It didn't take long for Chen Ran to take us here, and I still glanced around to see the surrounding environment. This is supposed to be the outermost part of the temple, and the outside of the wall is connected to the hillside, and everything looks normal.

I looked around the dry well again, and there was a dilapidated wooden barrel on the ground, full of cobwebs. There was also some rope on the ground, I don't know what material it was, and I broke it with a gentle pull.

I stood a little closer, but my foot kicked to the mouth of the well, and suddenly there was a click, and I immediately pulled Chen Ran, who was closest to me, to squat, and rolled again, a little farther away.

I killed Chen Ranhu, he kept slapping me, and I realized that it might be too hard for him to breathe, so I relaxed a little bit.

Who knew that he broke free of my hands and feet and climbed up: "What are you doing?" It hurts me! ”

I also got up, only to see the rotten master and the others looking at me like fools. I lowered my head and used the ashes to hide my embarrassment, just now I heard the sound of the machine subconsciously, but I didn't expect to affect Chen Ran, I couldn't cry or laugh.

Fortunately, they didn't bother anymore, and I pulled Chen Ran forward to continue researching.

I didn't expect to be kicked by me, and there was a stone slab on the wall of the well, and I couldn't understand what it meant.

The rotten master walked around the dry well along the direction of the stone slab, and then his eyes lit up and said, "This seems to be a staircase going down." ”

I watched as the slabs stretched down to the bottom until they swallowed into the endless darkness.

After the rotten master left a mark on the ground, he immediately arranged for us to go down, Brother Wu was carrying a goose in his hand, and we all counted the contents of the bag.

After a short break, we set out on an underground journey.
