I guessed that there were rats in the box, so I put the box on the shelf and opened the door, and when my mother came in, I said that the rats had been driven away by me, and my mother didn't ask any more questions, but looked into my room and went out.

After closing the door, I opened the box with great care, only to find that there was nothing but a few books and an iron box containing the Yin-Yang Knife, let alone any small animals such as mice.

Since there are no living creatures, how did the sound come about?

Could it be a ghost?

The next morning, when I came back from herding cattle, I saw that there were guests at home, and I recognized him at a glance as my cousin Wen Xiang, who was a legendary figure in my heart, he was twenty-eight years old this year, with long flowing hair, a scar on his left eye, and a righteous and majestic appearance, which really fascinated thousands of girls. He has been my idol since he was a child, and I think he is very suitable to be a star, but the scar has greatly reduced his handsomeness, which is quite regrettable.

When I was a child, my cousin Wen Xiang came to my house several times, he was more than ten years older than me, he was quite cheerful, he was very compatible with me, and he liked to touch my head every time he saw me. After taking a look at me this time, he came to touch my head again, saying that the knife was so high, they all caught up with me, I dodged away, but I am also eighteen years old, how can I still let you touch my head, besides, I am a man, you come to touch me like this, people still think that we have a foundation.

After some conversation, I learned that my cousin had heard from my mother that my father had not returned from home for a long time and could not be contacted, and he was also a little worried, so he came to my house to have a look. I told my father and Mrs. Li about the departure of the mysterious man Lao Song, Wen Xiang thought about it, and said that there is a more famous person surnamed Song on the rivers and lakes, named Song Wei, who is a captain who touches gold, and if my father leaves with that person, then the situation will be complicated.

I asked what is Captain Touch, is he an official? Wen Xiang said that the school captain was a sect of tomb robbers in ancient China, and in short, he was a tomb robber. I was taken aback and asked Wen Xiang if he had ever seen that Song Wei, and he said that he hadn't seen it either, because that person had a special profession, and he had always seen the head but not the tail of the dragon, and few people had seen his true face. My father was a witch doctor, so how could he be with a tomb robber? I'm afraid this won't be true, that old Song is probably someone else.

After breakfast, several more women came to the house, all with shocked faces, and they said that the dogs in the village were scurrying around the village last night like enchanted people, and what was even more strange was that the wells in the village were all dry!

There are several wells in our village, the largest is the old well not far from the locust tree, from which the villagers usually draw water for drinking water and laundry, and several families have made wells in front of their homes, which is the old-fashioned pressurized well. We are surrounded by mountains on all sides, the mountains and rivers are beautiful, and the water has never been cut off since ancient times, why is it that all the water in the village well is suddenly gone?

Is there a great tribulation?

The women felt that this thing was too evil, there must be evil spirits, and they discussed what to do, Aunt Liu said that it was estimated to be related to Huangpizi, and she had to invite Mrs. Li to come to the town, I said that Mrs. Li was not at home, but she could ask her daughter Zhong Ling'er to come and see.

"Is her daughter okay?" Questions were raised.

Da Hei's mother said that Zhong Ling'er came last time to find Da Hei's soul. Aunt Liu asked her if she had found it, and Dahei's mother said disdainfully: "Where do you need to find any soul?" Da Hei was just angry and bloody, and fainted, and my nephew came to get an injection. ”

I'm afraid that Da Hei's mother will discredit Zhong Ling'er when she says this, I hurriedly said that in fact, Zhong Ling'er has two hits, the last time I was haunted by ghosts, I didn't wake up after two days of fainting, and I woke up as soon as she came to give me. My mother echoed and said yes, the cub really had two hits. Aunt Liu said that since there are two times, I will invite her to take a look.

Cousin Wen Xiang sneered, spit out a puff of smoke on the side, and said What kind of ghost is there in this world? It's all feudal superstition, everything can be reasonably explained, what age, don't drill into the pile of superstition.

If this was said in the past, I would not hesitate to agree, but now it is not the same as in the past, I have not only seen ghosts, but also cured ghosts, so I have no doubt about the existence of ghosts.

The women looked at each other, Wen Xiang's voice was loud, and he said this with such certainty that even if someone wanted to refute it, they couldn't find words for a while.

I was not in a hurry to dismiss Wen Xiang, so I asked him to explain why the dogs in the village were running around like crazy last night, and why the wells in the village dried up overnight...... As for the depletion of wells, this is a natural phenomenon, the water of the wells comes from the ground, it may be that the underground flow is broken, or it may be that the well has not been dug for many years, and the mud and sand have blocked the spring, which has nothing to do with ghosts and gods.

Aunt Liu said that since the sediment blocked the spring, why not go to the well and get the sediment off?

So our group came to the old well in the village, and shone a flashlight at the bottom of the well, but the bottom of the well was so dark that the flashlight could not shine at all, and it disappeared weakly when it reached half of the light.

I went to Dahei's house and brought a ladder, slowly lowered the ladder to the bottom of the well, and was the first to jump down.

The bamboo ladder made a "squeak, squeak" sound under my feet, which sounded particularly loud in the hollow well, and the further down I went, the stronger the cold and damp smell became, and when I looked up, the mouth of the well was only the size of a pot.

I guess I stopped and looked down with a flashlight, and it was half a person high from the bottom of the well, and the bottom of the well was full of damp sand, and there was no water at all. I jumped up, stood on the soft sand, shone a flashlight on the people above, signaling that it was time to come down, Wen Xiang and Da Hei each came down with a flashlight.

Once we had our feet firmly established, we set about cleaning the springs. But the strange thing is that the springs with the thickness of several bowls are not blocked, and all of them are naked between the rock crevices, with the big mouths of black holes.

"Dig and rub, it's a dog!" Wen Xiang complained.

The three of us were stunned for a long time at the bottom of the black hole, and in the flashlight of the flashlight, the human appearance was a little out of shape and became a little terrifying, and the huge figure flickered and shook on the wall of the well.

"It's not a matter of the sediment blocking the springs." I say.

The sound seemed hollow and echoing, as if it had come from another world, and we couldn't help but feel a little creepy. Da Hei said in a trembling and small voice, "Let's go up first, don't stay here all the time." "I looked up at the mouth of the high well, and it did feel like I was far away from the world, in the underworld.

"Okay, go up first, and wait tomorrow to see if the water can still come out." The three of us climbed out of the deep well and came outside, everyone hurriedly gathered around to ask about the situation, I told the truth, and then looked at Wen Xiang to see how he explained, he lit a cigarette and said unhurriedly: "The well water is dry, it is estimated that there is another reason." Then he said to me, "Knife, I suddenly remembered about your father in the well just now, and I was worried that he was really in trouble, so I decided to look for him." ”

As soon as I heard this, I was anxious and asked him what trouble my father would have, and he said that he couldn't say for sure, and I would go with him to find it, and he patted me on the shoulder and said, "You are about to start school, go to study with peace of mind, and leave the matter of finding your father to me." ”

After my cousin Wen Xiang left, I went to the well to take a look, and found that there was still no water coming out, and I thought this fact was too weird, so I decided to go to Zhong Ling'er to have a look.

When I walked to the entrance of the village, I saw a red SUV coming from a distance, and the car was running so fast that it stirred up a lot of dust, and I had to stop the motorcycle and look at it curiously. We were in the countryside, and although there were occasional cars, it was the first time we had seen an off-road vehicle.

The SUV stopped beside me, and then poked its head out of the car and asked me, "Brother, is this Li Village here?" ”

The man looked eighteen or nineteen years old, wearing a yellow hat printed with five stars, thick eyebrows, sturdy, eyes slightly narrowed, looking like a dusty servant, I thought to myself, I am eighteen, he is eighteen, I drive a motorcycle and he drives off-road, what a bull fork.

I said that we are Huang Jiayuan here, and the Li family is over there, and while speaking, he pointed in the direction of Li Village, and the man sighed, looked at my motorcycle, and seemed to want to say something, I said I will also go to Li Village, I will take you there, he suddenly smiled and said: "That's great, you just come to my car." ”

That's fine, too!

I parked my motorcycle on the side of the road and jumped into his car.

Before he sat down, he stretched out his hand to me and said, "Brother, what do you call it?" I shook hands with him, reported his name, exchanged courtesies, asked him what his name was, what was his noble business in Li Village, he said that his name was Zhang Yunhao, and he went to Li Village to find Mrs. Li.
