Chapter 18: The Strange Pool

Wang Shupheasant walked to a house by the pond, the earthen wall fence yard, the chickens and ducks are flocked, and the wild chrysanthemums are clustered, which is very like a paradise.

There are only two old people in this family at home, and after inquiry, they know that they all go to the south to work in the future, and the poor countryside can't circle the blood of young people, Luo Bo and the three of them walked around, and there are only seven or eight families in this village, all of which are built around the pond, but the mountain stream flows into the pond water day by day, but I don't know where the pool water flows from, nature is really magical.

Wang Shuyan explained his intentions, and several families nodded and agreed to help, but they didn't seem to be in a high mood, and they didn't say anything about asking for money.

Several people sat in the courtyard of the first house to rest, at this time it was already noon, and the grave must be dug in the morning, the so-called "if the ground is broken in the afternoon, the bones will not return!" "That is to say, the new grave must be dug in the morning, and the bones must be moved at night. The Yuan family sisters and brothers only have ashes, so it doesn't matter, but the grave digging will only have to wait until the next morning.

A few people had to settle down in this house, and the two old men were neither enthusiastic nor indifferent, and said you sit, let's go make a fire and cook.

Li Chai scooped a scoop of water in Gutan, poured it with a gurgling face, felt comfortable, and brought it to Luo Bo and Wang Shupheasant to drink a few sips, which was indeed clear and sweet, and it was very different from the tap water in the city.

Robb secretly spit out the water, and for some reason, he felt that the water was dead like himself, as if it had been dead for a long time, and it was uncomfortable to look at and smell.

After a while, the two old men brought cabbage, bacon, pickled peppers, and white wine, and Li Chai stroked his thighs, "Pure natural green food, you must drink a few more glasses!" ”

The old man's name was "Li Lao Wu", and he smiled honestly: "There are no good things to entertain you here, eat more!" ”

Wang Shuyan didn't eat meat, only ate a few bites of cabbage and half a bowl of rice, Li Chai and Li Lao Wu drank cup after cup, Li Lao Wu poured wine for Luo Bo and persuaded him to drink some too, Luo Bo excused himself and said that he had a little diarrhea.

At this time, Li Lao Wu's wife, who was cooking in the kitchen, came out with a bowl of hot rice porridge, grinning toothlessly and laughing: "In the future, eat some firewood porridge if you have a bad stomach, it tastes very good!" ”

The old man put the bowl in front of him, Robb looked at her smiling face, took the bowl, just about to drink, a gust of wind blew, he shook his dizzy head, and found that the old man in front of him was still smiling at himself, the black hole hole understood the mouth like a bottomless abyss, and the rice porridge he was holding scalded him, he quickly put it down.

"I'm not hungry, thank you!"

The old man looked at him suspiciously, "Hmph, I don't know what to do!" Then he went to the black kitchen again, and sat down by the hearth, motionless.

In the afternoon, the sun was shining, Wang Shupheasant fell asleep on the chair, Li Chai was still drinking with the old man, Luo Bo asked, "I heard that there was a mudslide here, but is it true?" ”

The old man probably didn't expect him to ask this question, holding the wine glass in his hand, and said for a long time: "It happened, no one died, don't listen to their nonsense!" ”

Robb thought to himself; "I didn't say dead either!"

Watching the two of them push the cup and change the lamp, they got up and went to the village for a walk, at this time it was still daytime, the whole village was unusually quiet, except for the sound of the stream, those chickens and ducks actually did not have the slightest sound, and there was no half of the bird song in the mountains and forests, dead silence, depressed, this is Robb's more and more intense feeling.

He went to the other farmers, and they all just smiled at him, and the smile was like a skin sticking to his face, and the skin was not smiling, and it looked worse than crying.

Robb sat down beside the pool, listening to the sound of the stream, thinking about why the old man's smile was so strange, as if he had been dementored, and why they were so indifferent, and so enthusiastic when eating, there must be some deception in the middle.

Robb put his hand into the pool, there was nothing unusual, the soft pool water was like silk wrapped around Robb's fingers, but Robb found that the pool of water had no water lines.

What's even more terrifying is that

The water is still dark green,

There is no reflection of one's own!

There must be something strange here, only one step at a time, "Hmph, it doesn't matter if you're a ghost or a ghost, it's best to avoid me!" ”

Robb bent down and said to the pool.

The pool of water,

still

Motionless.

Luo Bo walked back, back to Li Lao Wu's home, he thought about poking his fingertips into his eyebrows, but he felt that it was inappropriate, he always felt that they were just walking dead, and he wanted to know the secret behind this.

One afternoon, Li Chai was drunk, and Wang Shuyan fell asleep, until in the evening, the Mao Moon rose from the sky, and Wang Shuyan and Li Chai were also woken up by the mountain wind. The two came to Robb's side on the edge of the ancient pool.

Wang Shuyan said comfortably: "I've been sleeping lightly, it's so strange today, I actually slept all afternoon, and I didn't dream!" ”

Li Chai said that he fell asleep unconsciously, and now he feels soft and wants to sleep again.

Wang Shupheasant's body became weaker after hearing this, and he didn't care that it was Robb next to him. He took his arm and said, "You let me lean in!" ”

Robb blushed and said, "Are you so hungry, just on this day for the quilt and the ground for the bed?" Rely on it, Li guess you avoid it! ”

"Get out!"

Luo Bo looked at Wang Shu's pheasant, which was colder than the moonlight, and inadvertently saw a piece of moonlight on the pond.

"Huh! The shadows in the sun can't shine in, but the moonlight does? Luo Bo got up and walked along the pond, walked to the place where the stream flowed in, looked up, turned his head to Wang Shupheasant and said, "The tomb that your grandfather chose is also on this mountain!" ”

Wang Shupheasant nodded, Li Chai shook his head and said: "This place is backed by the northern wind, can gather wealth, and according to it is not dispersed, and not all of it is accommodated, this stream slowly overflows the wealth and luck, which is said to be willing, and the gathering of great luck is full of overflow, it is really a prosperous place, if it is not for the poverty here, it would have been squeezed and robbed by the dignitaries." ”

Robb pointed to the vertical stream and asked, "What do you think this looks like?" ”

The two were puzzled, "Isn't it just a stream!" ”

"You hear the sound of the stream! There's still a sound during the day! ”

He pointed to the pool again, "Let's take a look at it!" ”

Li Chai hurriedly said: "Don't sell Guanzi!" ”

Robb looked at the pale pool shrouded in moonlight, and the mist rose on the surface of the water, and even the moon's burrs seemed to grow together.

"It's like a tomb!"

Wang Shuyan sneered: "Don't you tease me, you have itchy skin?" ”

Li Chai looked at the vertical downward stream, and then looked at the bulging Baiyue Lake, and said in horror: "If that's the case, this stream is a tombstone, and the pool is a tombstone, it's so terrible, this place should not stay for a long time!" ”

Wang Shuyan saw that he was joking, and became serious, "It won't be so evil!"

"The evil door is very evil, I am so hot with the porridge and rice that the old woman is carrying, but she doesn't feel hot, and Li Lao Wu is too enthusiastic when you eat, there must be ghosts!"
