Chapter 142: The Dry Well
Chenyang left the village chief's house and walked towards the north near the outskirts of the village according to Yaya's prompts. See. Wool, Chinese net
According to Chenyang's inquiry, there were two wells in the entire village, one of which was on the east side of the village, near the entrance of the wall.
The other well was on the edge of the fence to the north, and the two wells were not very far apart, but this well suddenly ran out of water, and gradually it was forgotten.
The place where Chenyang went this time was the dry well.
All the way north, Chenyang walked for nearly ten minutes before he came to the dry well.
Along the way, Chenyang found that the closer he got to the north, the more sparse the houses became, some of them were demolished, leaving traces of the foundation, and some of them were simply emptied, leaving behind an empty house and a thick accumulation of dust.
Chenyang walked to the dry well, leaving a large clearing around it.
This large area of open space, even if it is used to build a wooden house of the village chief, is definitely more than enough.
In front of the dry well, Chenyang looked at the flat ground around him, and there were several stones on it that he could see clearly, but he couldn't see the puppet doll he was looking for.
After confirming it again and again, Chenyang's gaze no longer stayed on the clearing, but turned to look at the dry well.
The dry well was crushed by a large boulder to prevent children from falling into the well while playing.
Chenyang looked at the big stone at the mouth of the well, and it looked like it had been put for some years, and it felt that it was unlikely that the doll was in it.
But there was no clue at this time, so he could only use the dead horse as a live horse doctor, clapping his hands and grasping firmly on both sides of the stone.
The muscles of his arms tensed, and his hands slowly lifted the boulder.
When the boulder was a little distance away from the wellhead, an unpleasant fishy smell suddenly came from the well.
The smell was very strong, Chenyang didn't pay attention to it a little, and when he smelled some of the smells, he felt dizzy, and his hands almost loosened, allowing the boulder to press down again.
Chenyang hurriedly held his breath, concentrated on the boulder in his arms, took two steps back with his legs, and reluctantly put the boulder on the ground.
After doing this action, Chenyang exhaled lightly in his mouth, and his eyes couldn't help but cast his eyes on the wellhead in front of him. See 1 yarn 3 Chinese net
Without sunlight, the wellhead of the dry well looked a little dark, but it did not obstruct the view of the morning sun.
Chenyang looked at it, and clearly saw that on the inner wall of the dry well, layers of black silt-like substances were clinging.
Chenyang leaned closer, trying to see what was going on inside the well.
As soon as you walk to the edge of the wellhead, you can smell a rich, pungent rancid smell.
This smell was not only extremely smelly, but also had a faint sense of dizziness, and even Chenyang, who had obtained the bloodline of the wood spirit, was dizzy when he faced this smell.
Then when other ordinary villagers smell this smell, it is naturally conceivable.
If you are not careful, you may fall into the well, and if there is water in the well, it is fine, but it is still a dry well.
If you fall, even if you don't fall to your death, you will at least end up with a disability.
Chenyang forcibly resisted the discomfort, and his eyes followed the wall of the well to the bottom of the well, which was also covered with a thick layer of black sludge.
Inside that layer of sludge, you can vaguely see some miserable white, which is the color of white bones.
It seems that someone has died in the well, and then the villagers have a situation of large stones pressing the well in order to avoid discovering this danger again.
Chenyang's gaze swept over the bottom of the well, and finally on a bone-white edge, he saw the head of the small half of the puppet, and the rest of the puppet was sunk into the thick layer of mud.
"Shhh
Chenyang couldn't help but take a deep breath, this boulder has been pressed at the mouth of the well for some years, how did the doll fall into the well, is it possible that someone is so bored, lifting the stone just to throw away the child's toys.
He didn't think about it, after all, he was more concerned about how to get the puppet up than this situation, and the wellhead was at least ten meters high from the bottom of the well.
At this height, it was difficult for Chenyang to find a suitable tool for salvage.
Unless it is said, Chenyang himself tied the boulder with a rope, and then went deep into the bottom of the well and brought the puppet doll up.
But in the process, Chenyang will inevitably breathe in that stench, and accidentally faint in the well, afraid that he will become a part of this layer of sludge like the white bones.
To complete this task, he also needs to find someone to help, otherwise it is easy to find an accident.
Thinking of this, Chenyang could only pick up the boulder again and move it above the mouth of the well, so that someone would happen to pass by and fall into the well on the way out.
On the way back, Chenyang turned on the plant perception all the way, and found the wooden barrel and hemp rope that were used to draw water in front of the hut a hundred meters away from the dry well.
Both have fallen into a layer of dust and look like they've been sitting here for a long time.
Chenyang pulled the thick rope with his hand, although it was useless for a long time, the rope was still very strong and could be used continuously.
After finding the hemp rope, Chenyang continued to walk forward, aiming for the village chief's house.
Of the planes he knows so far, only Wang Yu can determine the location, and where the others live, Chenyang is still unclear.
In order to avoid wasting time, Chenyang turned on the plant perception to see if he could find someone from other planes, and walked towards the village chief's wooden house on the other side.
Before he had gone half the way, Chenyang's plant perception happened to find people from other planes, and he found two people at once.
A hint of surprise flashed in Chenyang's eyes, and his footsteps were much faster, and he quickly rushed to the side of the two planes.
When approaching the two, Qiu Yao, one of them, suddenly turned around, and had already noticed the hurried footsteps behind him, and only nodded lightly when he saw that it was Chenyang, which was regarded as a greeting.
Chang Qi on the side noticed that Qiu Yao turned his head, then turned his head together and saw Chenyang: "Why did you stop suddenly, I ...... Morning Sun! Great, I'm looking for you. ”
"I'm looking for you too, I need your help with something." Chenyang said loudly.
"I have a side quest here, and I need help, and I'm afraid I won't be able to handle it alone." Chang Qi said loudly.
After Chenyang heard this, he nodded slightly: "Where is your side quest?"
"Outside the village, it seems to be next to a cemetery." Chang Qi said loudly.
After experiencing Qian Ke's death, Chang Qi is now very resistant to things like the cemetery, so he has the move to ask Qiu Yao to help together.
"Then help me first, I'll go get something, and it will be done soon." Chenyang thought for a moment, and then said out loud.
It takes too long to leave the village, and some variables will inevitably happen along the way, but it is his side quest, which only needs to go down the well to take out the puppet doll, which is relatively simple and can be completed quickly.
Chang Qi nodded and agreed, "Okay, when you complete the side quest, you must help me."
"Don't worry." Chenyang said loudly.
Turning his head to look at Qiu Yao, who was silent on the side, he said, "Chang Qi and I are going to complete the side quest, if you have something to do with Chang Qi, you may need to delay for a while."
Qiu Yao shook his head and said loudly: "I was originally going to help him, but since you have discussed it, there is nothing for me to do."
As soon as he finished speaking, Qiu Yao turned his head and prepared to leave.
Chang Qi turned around, grabbed his hand, and said in a gentle tone: "Qiu Yao, we are all together, in case of any danger, one more person is safer, and we can also help you complete the side quest."
Qiu Yao glanced at Chenyang and did not reply to Chang Qi, as if he was waiting for Chenyang's reply.
Seeing that he didn't mean to refuse, Chenyang said slowly: "If you can, then let's act together, and then we can complete those side quests together."
Qiu Yao stopped in place for a few seconds, as if he was thinking about whether to agree to Chenyang, and then nodded lightly and agreed.
Chang Qi showed a smile, let go of the hand that grabbed Qiu Yao, and said loudly: "That's right, we originally said that we would help each other complete the side quest, and the more Chenyang, the more sure we are."
Qiu Yao didn't answer Chang Qi, he still had the same ice face, and he looked like he was silent, giving people a very mysterious feeling.
