Looking at Lin Chen's dazed face, the fat man continued: "At the north end of the construction site, there is a large willow forest, you know? ”

"Hmmm! Impressive! ”

"Willow Forest is a small village in the past, just a few families, the government wants to build a new building there, and they want to demolish it, and there are some nail households, and they don't want to leave, saying that it's because the homestead or something hasn't been negotiated, but recently they all moved away, and the village is empty."

"Hmmm! I know about this, and I've heard that those families are quite difficult! It seems that because the compensation is too low, the resettlement houses of the demolished households are not satisfied, and those households will not be demolished, how? They negotiated with the government so quickly?" Lin Chen asked.

"Settled? It's not that easy, right? I don't know if it was negotiated later, but I heard that I was scared away! ”

"Huh? And what's going on?"

The fat man rummaged through his trouser pocket for a long time, took out a pack of Chinese cigarettes, took out one and handed it to Lin Chen, who waved his hand.

"That's good smoke!"

The fat man said, seeing that Lin Chen didn't answer, he didn't let it go, he put it in his mouth directly, rummaged through his pockets again, and found that there was no fire.

"How did you scare you away?"

The cigarette was in the fat man's mouth, naturally he couldn't speak, Lin Chen couldn't wait a little, and shouted towards the store: "Boss, is there a fire?" ”

Huo'er quickly handed it over, and Lin Chen lit a cigarette for the fat man.

The fat man took a puff of cigarette, took the cigarette from his mouth with two fingers, sniffed again, and leaned towards Lin Chen in a thoughtful manner.

"As for the well at the head of the village, I don't know if you know?"

"Well?" Lin Chen shook his head slightly, "I didn't pay much attention to this, but I've been there before, let me think about it!" Oh, remembered! There is a well, are you talking about the one with a particularly high platform next to the well, I still have a foot there, I have an impression! The well is built on a square stone slab with water less than two meters deep, and the villagers often use buckets to fetch water, wash rice, and wash clothes. Over time, the rope on the well ring has been ground out with smooth groove marks. I don't know if I'm right? ”

"Yes, that's the well! I also heard from the villagers that the well has been around for some years! The water that came out of that saliva was always very clear, and the villagers used it to boil water, cook, and wash clothes, and there was no problem. But something happened to this well recently, and it's really evil. ”

"What's wrong? What's wrong? ”

The fat man looked left and right, and saw that no one was paying attention to him, so he leaned over again, lowered his voice and said, "The water in that well is suddenly gone, do you think it's strange?"

"I know this, it should be the water table that has dropped! Well water is originally obtained from the excavation of groundwater, and the groundwater is connected. If geological activity causes groundwater to be diverted, well water may be gone! In addition, groundwater is not inexhaustible, and it may be cut off after a long time. Also, people use too much water, and there will be no water! Lin Chen speculated.

"Look at how you look like you're talented, and when you talk, it's just different! It's learned!"

The fat man took a puff of his cigarette and gave a thumbs up.

"It's nothing, my major is civil engineering design, and knowledge of geology is also necessary to know!"

Lin Chen grabbed a handful of peanuts, threw them into his mouth, and filled the fat man with beer.

"Oh! Enough, brother! I can't drink too much, and I have to work in the afternoon! ”

The fat man waved his hand.

"It's beer! Drinking this stuff isn't the same as drinking soda! What does it matter! It's not that you have a story, I have wine, and life is unforgettable as a friend! Come, drink this one! ”

"Okay, that's it!"

The fat man was also embarrassed to refuse, so he picked up the wine glass and drank it all.

Lin Chen said, "Well, that's pretty much it! That's like a man! By the way, where did we just go? ”

"Speaking of wells, the water suddenly disappeared!"

"Oh! When the well water is gone, it's gone! It's really nothing! ”

The fat man said, "Why nothing! Even if the water level drops and the well dries up, as you say, someone found a piece of gold at the bottom of the well! You say evil or not!"

The fat man said, with a look of envy.

Lin Chen's chopsticks holding the meatloaf stopped in mid-air, "What are you talking about?" In that broken well, can you still find gold? Did someone hide it on purpose?"

"Who knows! This matter was spread by ten, and by ten, and by hundred, everyone went to the well to look for gold! ”

"Did you find it?"

The fat man shook his head and pouted, "Get rich, who doesn't want to!" Where would it be so easy! ”

Lin Chen put the meatloaf in his mouth, chewed it a few times, and swallowed it.

"Hehe, where in the world is there such a good thing! If so, let's find out! ”

The fat man wiped a smear of oil from the corner of his mouth with the back of his hand, and said stupidly: "I know, you don't believe what I said!" ”

"Actually, I don't need to say it, you can figure it out with your heels! You want to! It's a remote place, and who wouldn't think of looking for something at the bottom of a well! So, as soon as you hear it, you know it's a rumor! Hey, whether you like to hear it or not, I said, it's just a rumor! ”

He told him something very seriously, but he regarded it as a rumor, which made the fat man very unhappy.

"Brother, you're saying this a bit absolutely! Ay! Don't even say it! What a coincidence! Someone went to fetch water, only to find that the water had dried up, and when he stretched out his head to see, there seemed to be something shining at the bottom of the well, and when he went down to the bottom of the well, he saw that it was gold! It's really gold, it's gold bars! It's really good luck, and I can't stop it! Alas! I only have envy! ”

"Did you really pick up gold?"

Hearing the fat man say this, Lin Chen's eyes widened.

"Of course! I can't lie to you! ”

"But I still don't believe it! How can there be such a good thing! ”

"Believe it or not!"

The fat man twisted the cigarette butt in the ashtray, and it didn't seem to be too enjoyable, so he looked up and asked Lin Chen: "I am sacrificing my life to accompany the gentleman today!" Another bottle of wine! ”

"Didn't you say you can't drink! Don't you have to work in the afternoon? Lin Chen was surprised.

"It's okay, just drink it! This beer is not good! ”

The fat man turned his head and beckoned to the shopkeeper.

"Boss, is there a second pot head? Another plate of fried peanuts!" The fat man shouted to the shopkeeper.

"Okay!" The other side responded.

Lin Chen looked at the fat man in a daze, showing a surprised expression, he fiddled with the chopsticks in his hand, still pondering what the fat man had just said.

"Well, I said buddy, you're not talking about the Arabian Nights, are you? Besides, if you really find gold, people will tell you that they have already secretly moved away. ”

"Really! Who lied to you who is the turtle grandson! There were a few people there, and there were people on our team, or I wouldn't have known! ”

"Did you really see the gold?"

"Yes! Huang Cancan, such a big rectangular block! ”

The fat man stretched out his fingers and gestured to the size.

"Who hid the gold in it? Perhaps it was someone who had gained some ill-gotten gains, fearing that they would be discovered, so they hid in the well, but then the water from the well came, and the gold could not be withdrawn! After a long time, maybe the man who hid the gold will die! ”

"Hmmm! That's what I'm thinking, who put it? Forgot to pick it up?"

Lin Chen seemed to be interested, and said, "Otherwise, let's go look for it too!"

"Before we could get it, many people had already gone looking for it, but they found that the well had water again. Poke a pole down, and the water is still bottomless. ”

"You mean the well is getting deeper!"

"Not really! Not only has it become deeper, but recently, some villagers have said that there are always clumps of long black hair in the water that hits it. ”

Lin Chen couldn't believe it, his eyes widened.

"Really? Fake? Someone must have thrown it in on purpose, right? Deliberately disgusting and disgusting to those who come to find gold! ”

"Erguotou is coming!"

The shopkeeper sent two pots, two small wine cups, and a small plate of fried peanuts.

"You two, you use it slowly!"

The fat man saw the shopkeeper retreat, lowered his voice, and said, "It's true, I don't think someone threw it in!" Who would be idle and throw their hair into the well! I just want to disgust people, and I don't think I will lose my hair! ”

"That's just as well!"

"It's still a clump of long hair!"

"That's right! Where to find so much long hair! Unless it's a barbershop! Lin Chen said thoughtfully.

"And it's not just black hair, there's even more evil things!"

"What's more evil?"

"Hmmm! I heard that the villagers also noticed that for a while, everything was normal in this well during the day, and the water was clear, but at night, when there was moonlight, you would look down from the well, and you would see human faces, white and shiny human faces! ”

"What's this! If there is moonlight, you will see your own reflection, and it is not normal if you can't see it!"

"Cut! Who doesn't know this! The problem is that you don't see your own face! It's a tearful, snow-white woman's face! Later, it was said that the water was dry again, and the hair was gone! The woman's face is gone! ”

Lin Chen smiled, "This is not good, hurry up and go down and take a look!" Maybe there's gold again! ”

After a glass of wine, the fat man was obviously spicy to his throat, so he quickly sandwiched another piece of meatloaf, put it in his mouth, chewed it twice quickly, and swallowed it.

"Hey! You haven't answered my question yet! You should go down and take a look, you say no! Lin Chen said.

The fat man nodded solemnly, "That's right! I didn't think of it! It's time to go down and have a look! ”

Seeing the shopkeeper coming over with porridge again, the fat man stopped talking, paused for a while, and said, "Don't tell anyone about it yet!" It's not good to talk too much! ”

The fat man's voice was not loud, only Lin Chen could hear it.

Lin Chen only hummed, and didn't speak for a long time.

He remembered something, lowered his head, and tasted the second pot head in the cup in a small sip.

It was like a stone weighing heavily on his heart, suffocating him. Because, suddenly, he remembered the strange subway encounter, and he remembered the murder in the crescent moon neighborhood that he had seen in the newspaper in the morning, and now, the fat man told him the face and hair of the woman in the well.

These seemingly unrelated things seem to have some indescribable and strange connection.

Is there really a ghost?

Then he laughed a little, laughing at himself, a big man, what's the matter!

Become so nervous, Now there are some people in society who have nothing to do, make up some stories to scare people and play, and gold can be produced in the well! Oh, I didn't see it with my own eyes, rumors are rumors, and the black ones can be said to be white.

The fat man ate a large plate of meatloaf by himself, and he was a little panicked, so he put his hands on his stomach, kneaded it in a clockwise direction, and suddenly looked up, and saw Lin Chen laughing alone, so he also started to be happy.

Lin Chen picked up the millet porridge, the porridge was still a little hot, he gently blew it twice with his mouth, and took a sip. Then he asked, "Hey! Fatty, do you believe this is true?"

The fat man took a fried peanut with chopsticks, put it in his mouth, and chewed it with relish.

"I don't know, it's all from people. Actually, I don't believe it either, but if only there was gold. I've dreamed of getting rich! The fat man replied.

"The weather is nice today, there must be a moon at night, do you dare to go with me to see it? While there's no one, let's pick up some gold and come back! If there is real gold, who doesn't like it! Ha! Let's divide it equally, don't we divide it equally? ”

"This..."

The fat man seemed a little hesitant.

"You speak! How? You're still worried that I won't be able to rob you of your gold! ”

"It's not!"

The fat man saw Lin Chen blowing with porridge, so he waved his hand, picked up the second pot head, shook it under Lin Chen's eyelids, and said, "Keep your stomach, this must be drunk!" Can't be left! As the old saying goes? Deep feelings, a mouthful! ”

Then, the fat man poured Lin Chen a full cup of two pots.

This wine is really fragrant, Lin Chen hesitated a little, and then said: "I really can't drink more, and I still drive in the afternoon." ”

The fat man glanced at Lin Chen and said regretfully, "Say it earlier!" I've poured it all for you! Forget it, I'll enjoy it myself! ”

The fat man simply took Lin Chen's wine glass, took a sip, smacked his mouth, and re-lit the cigarette.

"I know, you don't believe what I'm telling you!"

"Hmmm! It's not unbelief, it's ,.. How so? Actually, something very strange happened to me! I also suspected before, and I suspected that something was wrong with my nerves! I wonder if I have some hysteria, and I'm afraid! But what's the use of being afraid? Instead of being afraid, it's better to make his mother understand! ”

At this time, Lin Chen's mobile phone rang, he took it out and looked at it, and the phone showed that it was Xu Aqi calling.
