Chapter 7: The Ring
Because it was late at night, the lights of every house in the village had long been extinguished, and only the old street lamp at the head of the village was still exuding a hint of chill with its own dim light.
I couldn't see that person's face clearly, but my subconscious told me that I must know this person!
I didn't step forward immediately, but squatted in the corner with bated breath, intending to see what this man was doing by the well without sleeping in the middle of the night.
Time passed minute by minute, the cold wind was bleak, I couldn't help shivering, and subconsciously wrapped the clothes on my body, even in the middle of summer, the late night in the mountains was still very cold.
I glanced at the man not far away, who was still standing upright by the well, looking down at the well in front of him, motionless.
Is this man sick? If you don't sleep in the middle of the night and run to see the well, can you see the flowers?
I secretly scolded this person in my heart, I just hope that he will get out of the house quickly, if he doesn't leave, I can only accompany him to freeze dry.
Well?
Just as I was about to get impatient of waiting, the man at the well suddenly moved, and in the hazy moonlight, he took a mechanical step towards the well, and then his body was as straight as a cement pillar, and he plunged into the well.
Poof!
There was a muffled sound of a heavy object entering the water, and this person was thrown into a well right in front of me!
"Come on...... Someone! Someone jumped into the well! "It happened so suddenly, so suddenly that I didn't have time to stop the man.
Almost at the same time as the man jumped into the well, I rushed up with an arrow, shouting and grabbing the edge of the well and sticking my head into it, trying to see if there was any salvation.
As a result, as soon as I put my head in, I found that the level in the well was as quiet as a mirror, not to mention people, there was not even a single water streak inside!
"What's wrong? Someone fell into the well again? ”
Soon, several nearby villagers rushed out of the door, putting clothes on their bodies as they ran, and some of them even carried ropes in their hands, rushing to my side in a hurry.
"Little Dragon? Did you see clearly, who jumped into the well? "One man didn't even have time to put on his clothes, tied a rope, and jumped into the well, and a few big men did not go down the well, but took flashlights to shine a light on the man.
At this time, other villagers also gathered around, and asked me one by one, what is going on?
I was buzzed by the noisy heads of these people, and I simply ignored no one, just looked at the well with an anxious face, and I believed in my own eyes, I clearly saw the man jumping into the well.
Seeing that I didn't speak, the villagers stopped asking questions, but all gathered around the well, looking at the well in unison, and for a while, the scene returned to tranquility again, and some were just the sound of the big man in the well turning the water.
About 5 minutes later, everyone worked together to pull the big man out, due to the lack of oxygen for a long time and diving, the big man's face was a little pale, after he climbed up, he didn't pay attention to the villagers who came up, but walked up to me with a gloomy face, and asked me in a questioning tone:
"Xiaolong, tell me the truth, did you really see someone jumping into the well?"
As soon as Dahan said this, the surrounding villagers immediately stopped talking, but looked at me in unison, and their eyes were obviously full of anger and anger.
"I really saw it", facing those angry eyes, I was afraid of being misunderstood by the villagers, and quickly explained: "There was indeed a person who jumped into the well just now!" ”
"I've already dived to the bottom of the well, why haven't you seen the person you said?"
"I ......"
I don't know how to explain it, yes, if someone really threw himself into the well, it is impossible for this big man not to find out, then, what is going on with the scene I just saw, is it possible, am I dazzled?
No way! I spent more than an hour with the man, and I saw him jump into the well with my own eyes, how could I be dazzled!
"Xiaolong, you have been quite honest for so many years, we all treat you as a good boy, this time, we are all joking with your uncles and uncles, it's just that we don't want to have a next time, understand?"
Leaving these words, the big man glared at me, untied the rope by the well, and left.
The villagers around shook their heads, and didn't say much, but scattered on their own, leaving me alone, looking at the well in a daze.
When I got home, I was lying on the kang tossing and turning, I couldn't sleep anyway, all I thought about was that person, I saw that person jumping into the well, why couldn't I find it?
After some time, my consciousness gradually dimmed, and finally I fell asleep, and in my sleep, I saw the beautiful girl again.
She was still wearing the same red wedding dress, but this time, I could see her face clearly:
She has an angelic face, picturesque eyebrows, shining eyes, bright red lips, fresh as flower petals, and the corners of her lips that seem to be smiling but not smiling, gently floating a subtle smile.
"Xianggong, why are you depressed?" The girl sat down next to me softly and asked me softly.
"You...... Are you my daughter-in-law, Purple Pupil? "My eyes were wide open, and I just wanted to imprint every part of the girl in my mind, after all, this dream was too realistic, and I couldn't tell if it was a dream or not.
"Or else?" Purple pupils chuckled, that look was really overwhelming, she stretched out two jade arms and naturally wrapped around my neck, and said softly: "Xianggong, since the slave family is married to you, naturally it will not harm you, that ugly old woman has been driven away by me, and you don't have to worry about it in the future." ”
I know that the old woman in the mouth of the purple pupil should be the evil ghost who has been pestering me these days and almost killing me.
It's just that being surrounded by such a delicate little daughter-in-law, my face immediately turned red, and I didn't dare to look at the eyes of the purple pupil at all, but lowered my head and whispered: "That...... Was Li Quansheng killed by that wife? ”
"Well, the secret of heaven must not be revealed!" The purple pupil smiled playfully, and the red lips opened slightly, deeply imprinted on my lips, "Xianggong, you just need to remember, don't trust anyone, it's enough, that old man surnamed Li, and that Li Quansheng's words, don't believe it!" ”
Li Quansheng didn't pay much attention to it, he didn't believe that he was still reasonable, but Uncle Li's words couldn't be believed? The idea of marrying a yin family was originally made by Uncle Li, if it weren't for him, I might not have known which well I drowned in.
I didn't understand what Purple Pupil was saying, and I was about to continue asking, but I didn't want Purple Pupil to have already faded off her wedding dress and straddled me.
What happened after that, just like yesterday, I can't remember, anyway, Gentle Township has enjoyed enough.
When I woke up the next day, it was already three o'clock in the morning, and when I remembered what happened with Zitong last night, my face was on fire.
Getting dressed and getting out of bed, I wanted to go to the kitchen to find something to eat, but I didn't want to just walk out of the door and see my grandfather sitting at a table of eight immortals in the living room with a frown, staring at the table with frowns.
"Grandpa, what's wrong with you?" I asked curiously.
"Are you awake? Come and see this thing, have you seen it before? "Although Grandpa was talking to me, he didn't look at me, and his attention was on the Eight Immortals table at this time.
Suspiciously stepping forward, I looked at the table of the Eight Immortals, and with just one glance, I couldn't take my eyes off it anymore.
There is a ring on the table of the Eight Immortals, the style is simple, there is no pattern and no texture, it is like a gold-cured ...... Circle.
"Why is this thing here?" My eyes widened, and I subconsciously took a few steps back, exclaiming.
"What, you've really seen this?" As soon as I heard this, my grandfather immediately turned his head to look at me.
"This ...... This is the funeral goods that Li Quansheng found out of the old lady's grave! "My voice was trembling at this time, really, I never dreamed that this ring would appear in my house.
"I said, this thing doesn't look like it is now, and it doesn't smell right", grandpa frowned and thought about it, and continued: "Are you sure this is something that Li Erzhuang's cub touched?" ”
I nodded vigorously and said sure, this thing was just too impressive for me.
"Sure! Let's go, let's go find that cub, his grandmother's, I want to see, what does he want to do! ”
