[045] The story of Xia Laohan

Xia Laohan got up in the middle of the night to pick up water?

Zhong Kui knew that this old man Xia had to fetch water from an old well behind the house if he wanted to drink water or something. This old well has some origins, and there is an explanation behind what it is.

But Zhong Kui knew that the water in this old well was sweet and pure, and there was no bitter taste. The water quality is also good, and there are no impurities in the clear.

But what about Xia Laohan, he can't carry water in the middle of the night! Besides; His old bones, if there is a fall, doesn't it kill him?

Zhong Kui was stingy with the old man Xia, so he stepped forward and shouted while trying to snatch the pick from the old man: "Old man, I'll help you." ”

Xia Laohan seemed indifferent to Zhong Kui's kind help, and still walked forward so woodenly. The barrel was like a child swinging, swaying one side at a time.

Zhong Kui couldn't snatch the bucket hard, and Xia Laohan ignored his shouts. In desperation, he had no choice but to follow the old man and follow him all the way to the old ancient well behind the house.

A cluster of bamboo forests stands on the old ancient well ridge of the black rumbling dong, and there is a bluestone slab built on the square side of the wellhead. The scattered light that seeps out from the leaves of the moso bamboo forest is weakly reflected at the wellhead.

A long, worn and smooth bamboo pole is used to lift water, and a hand-clamped hook hangs from the beam on the mouth of the bucket. Xia Laohan seemed to have a pair of see-through eyes, staring at the well in a daze, hanging the bucket on the bamboo pole hook, and sliding down little by little under the pinching of the palm of his hand.

The bucket touched the surface of the water, and the bamboo pole could not slide. Xia Laohan skillfully held the bamboo pole and slashed it hard, and a bucket full of well water was poured into the bucket.

Zhong Kui witnessed the entire process of carrying water for Xia Laohan, which was completed silently. It seems that getting up in the middle of the night to carry water is a work routine that he must do every day.

Xia Laohan didn't seem to see one more person around him at all, he did his. Completely ignoring the translucent eyes around him, he was looking at him intently.

Zhong Kui silently followed behind Xia Laohan and saw him pour all the water in the bucket into the water tank. Then Mu Mu withdrew from the stove room, walked straight into the north room, and never came out again.

Zhong Kui watched Xia Laohan enter the house, but he still hadn't come back to his senses. Feelings: This is what Liu Wengen told him about sleepwalking? How can a person do so much in sleepwalking? It's terrifying!

The next day, Liu Wengen woke up and felt very uncomfortable in his mouth. After a while, I still didn't feel comfortable. He got up and went to the stove to find water to rinse his mouth, and as soon as he came out of the south house, the damned black dog cocked his nose and barked at him in a low, warning growl.

Looking at the two white sensen exposed by the black dog on the side of his mouth, flashing with cold light and extremely sharp canine teeth, he was timid. I had to hurry back to the house, and selfishly woke up Zhong Kui, who was sleeping soundly.

Zhong Kui was a little sleepy, isn't this still chatting with Zhou Gong in his dreams! was woken up by Liu Wengen's arrogant and unreasonable disturbance.

Zhong Kui squinted at Liu Wengen's complexion, but with a bitter look on his face, he asked, "What are you doing?" ”

"What did you eat for me last night, bastard?" 'Oops! Liu Wengen moved his cheeks and stirred his teeth and other parts with his tongue, trying to test what was in his mouth. The tongue is like a detector, and after probing, it reflects the information to the brain, but it feels uncomfortable to scratch as if it has eaten sand.

Being disturbed by Liu Wengen like this, Zhong Kui didn't feel sleepy, turned over and got up, and replied to him casually: 'Poof! "Regret medicine for you."

This regret medicine is used to tease some people who don't know what to do, and Zhong Kui actually used it to make fun of him. "Your sister." Liu Wengen wrote anger on his face and made his debut.

Zhong Kui bit his cheeks, and stood up in front of Liu Wengen, staring at his round eyes angrily, and roared loudly: "You dare to say a word?" ”

To tell the truth, Liu Wengen is a few years older than Zhong Kui, and he is much taller than him. It stands to reason that he shouldn't be afraid that Zhong Kui, who is just a child in his eyes, is right, but he is just timid.

"I ...... What do I say, it's strange to wake up and find that there is sand in your mouth, you ...... You sleep, I'll rinse my mouth. ”

Liu Wengen said as he hurried away from Zhong Kui. The probe looked out and found that Xia Laohan was tying up the hateful black dog, and his guard was relaxed.

Zhong Kui looked at Liu Wengen in the courtyard from the window, shrunk his head and looked at the black dog jumping on him, and greeted Xia Laohan.

Xia Laohan was like no one else, and his spirit was still very good, but he still didn't say anything. For Liu Wengen's greeting, he just nodded perfunctorily, still holding a broom to sweep the little garbage in the yard.

For breakfast, corn kernels are mixed up in the porridge, and the small stove room is always filled with a sweet corn porridge smell.

Zhong Kui glanced at the water tank against the wall, and the clear well water was very tempting.

Liu Wengen was also looking at the water tank, and he said before Zhong Kui: "Senior, you got up so early and filled all the water." ”

Xia Laohan glanced at the water tank with the eyes of the two of them, the muscles of his face trembled slightly, and then sighed: "Alas! The water in the tank was picked up for me by my hard-working daughter. ”

"Daughter?" Liu Wengen felt a chill down his spine, and said to himself: They have been here for many days, although they went outside halfway, they shouldn't miss his daughter by such a coincidence!

Zhong Kui ate his meal expressionlessly, and he didn't see Liu Wengen's fuss.

Liu Wengen was scared, but he didn't know what he was afraid of.

"Old-timer, you...... Where is the daughter? Liu Wengen couldn't bear it in the end, and asked what he wanted to ask.

"My daughter, you can't see it." Xia Laohan said with a sad expression.

Xia Laohan's words once again shocked Liu Wengen into a cold war. What is invisible, except that the 'ghost' person can't see it with the naked eye, is there still an invisible person?

But how could the 'ghost' carry water? This question is worth exploring. Thinking of this, Liu Wengen continued to ask: "Senior, how old is your daughter?" Where is the home? Can you let her come back, we know each other? ”

Xia Laohan, chewing a pickled vegetable in his mouth, said slowly: "Her family is in Menling Village, if you want to see her, go and see her cemetery!" ”

Xia Laohan's unhurried words not only shocked Liu Wengen in a cold sweat, but also shocked Zhong Kui to almost bounce.

This is really nowhere to find the iron shoes, and it takes no effort to get it. What Zhong Kui is looking for is someone who can know about the incident in Menling Village. This Xia Laohan's daughter is married in Menling Village, so who is her husband's family?

Liu Wengen didn't dare to ask anything, at this time, Xia Laohan was completely a psychotic in his eyes. A normal person can't worry about neuropathy, so he has to keep calm and slip away as soon as the Minister of Armed Forces comes.

Liu Wengen stopped talking.

Zhong Kui said: "Old-fashioned, I am from Menling Village. Who is your daughter's husband's family? Maybe I still know each other? ”
