Chapter 41: Blood on the Idol (2nd Watch)

41

Looking at the dense black arms on the wall of the well, like the tentacles of sea anemones, I couldn't help but feel a tingling of my scalp and wanted to look away from the well.

But at this moment, a human face suddenly appeared on the surface of the black well water, and it seemed to be shouting something with its mouth open, but no sound came out.

I think that face is a little familiar, and when I look closely, who is it if it is not my mother's face? My mother is dead, and now my uncle should be handling her and Dad's funeral in her hometown, why did her face suddenly appear in this well water?

Before I could figure it out, two faces appeared on the water, it was my father and my godmother, and the two of them also had distorted faces, shouting something with their mouths wide open, but it was as if the TV was turned on and muted. There was only a picture, but no sound came.

The three of them said one word over and over again, and I carefully recognized the shape of my mouth, and finally I recognized it, they were saying: Run!

Look at three extremely familiar and friendly faces. I couldn't help but burst into my eyes, tears dripped down the well, which was like a frying pan, and countless black arms were waving wildly, as if they were fighting for something.

Then. Dense arms stretched out on the calm water, dragging the faces of the three of them down and disappearing below the water.

I was anxious and had the urge to jump down the well to save people, and just as I stepped on the edge of the well with one foot, a big hand pressed on my shoulder, followed by a Buddha horn: "Amitabha, little donor, wake up quickly, don't be confused by those evil obstacles." ”

I suddenly felt a thrill all over my body, and when I turned my head, I saw the old monk with a look of concern.

I looked at my feet on the edge of the well, and I couldn't help but be afraid for a while: "Master, this well ......"

"The Fu Mo Temple was originally used to suppress evil spirits in the mountains, this well is called the Fu Mo Well, ordinary people can't watch it at will, and it's easy to be confused by illusions. These visions are aimed at the weakness of the human soul, the greedy will see the riches, the lustful will see the beautiful, the sad will see the lost relatives, in short, all these are all to tempt people to jump, once they fall into the water, there is no hope of survival. ”

Hearing the old monk say this, I couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat: Fortunately, the old monk arrived in time, if I had been one step late, I wouldn't have jumped off and died.

After the old monk finished speaking, he turned his head and glared at Zheng Fang fiercely: "You troublemaker, you know that Master Ji Shi has not cultivated the Fa and can't get close to this well, and you still ask him to help you fetch water?" ”

The little monk looked innocent: "He had to rush to fetch water, I didn't let him, he still refused, he had to rob." ”

This......

This is so embarrassing, my face suddenly felt hot, I wanted to show my muscles in front of other little monks, but in the end it became a laughing stock.

The old monk was old and refined, and glared at the little monk again: "Master Ji Shi is kind-hearted, I want to be busy with you, you must know how to be grateful." ”

The little monk secretly rolled his eyes, but still bowed to me obediently: "Thank you, Master Ji." ”

All right. It doesn't matter if he is sincere or fake, anyway, he found a step down, I hit haha, and this matter is revealed. I didn't dare to stay at the well any longer, for fear that I would be bewitched again and jump to my death.

However, before leaving, I couldn't help but be curious, and quickly glanced into the well, the wall of the well was thick with moss, the water surface was not disturbed, where were there any arms and human faces? It seems that everything just now is really an illusion.

Leaving from the well in the backyard, Yuan Ling had already made breakfast and beckoned us to eat. I don't know why, today I feel very hungry, and when I smell the smell of braised pork, I can't help but want to take a bite.

However, I didn't want to be too greedy, so in order to divert my attention, I casually talked about a topic: "This is so far from the town, I don't see a refrigerator in the temple." I didn't even have electricity, so where did I get all this pork? ”

The old monk was stunned for a moment, and Yuan Ling was also a little confused, but as soon as the meal was served, the little monk who was staring at the braised pork drooling was stunned and replied casually: "I fished it from the well in the backyard!" ”

Caught from a well? My heart suddenly struck, and I remembered the dense arms in the well. And the faces of the three godmothers floating on the water - there will be meat in there? How did it come about? Could it be human flesh?

The old monk saw the change in my mood, coughed lightly, and said, "Zhengfang, this child is too young, and many words are not clear, that's it. It's not easy for us to go out here, and occasionally we will ask the nearby villagers who went out to the mountains to bring some things back, because there is no electricity in the temple, and there is no refrigerator, only the well water is cold. We would put the meat or fruit in a basket and put it in the well water to keep it fresh, and it would be fine for a week. ”

I see. In fact, this kind of preservation method has always been available in the countryside, and the cold well water will not exceed four or five degrees in summer, and a piece of meat is put in. It can indeed be preserved for a long time.

When I was a child, my family often kept melons and fruits fresh in this way, but in the past few years, with refrigerators, plus running water, wells are not needed, and this method has slowly withdrawn from the stage of history.

Yuan Ling glanced at the old monk. He smiled at me and said, "Don't think about those useless things, try my cooking skills, you didn't eat it yesterday, why do you want to eat a piece today." ”

As she spoke, Yuan Ling picked up a large piece of braised pork with chopsticks. Put it in my bowl.

My heart was suddenly sweet, what a joy it was to be fed by my girlfriend! But when he turned his head, he saw the little monk staring at all this, and saliva flowed down the corners of his mouth and dripped down his chin. He didn't even bother to wipe it.

This kid, what has become of gluttony? Even if my family conditions were not good when I was a child, I didn't get hungry to the point where saliva flowed down my chin!

Because of the experience in the backyard just now, I felt ashamed, so I wanted to compensate this little monk. So he put the piece of braised pork into the little monk's bowl: "Zhengfang is still small, and he is growing his body, you can eat this piece of meat." ”

Xiao Zhengfang was happy, and he wanted to stuff the piece of meat into his mouth, but he saw Yuan Ling and Master Extermination staring at him with murderous eyes, so he was so frightened that he hurriedly put the braised pork back into my bowl: "It's better for you to eat." ”

No way......

Damn, your chopsticks are full of saliva, and I'm still a ghost! Damn, you're not disgusting, I'm disgusting, who wants to eat your saliva!

I turned my head to look at the old monk and Yuan Ling, and laughed dryly. He gave the braised pork to the little monk: "You should eat it." ”

The little monk didn't dare to move the chopsticks, looked at Yuan Ling and the old monk, and cried directly: "I don't dare to eat, the master will beat me to death." ”

I was a little surprised, I didn't expect this old monk to look like an old naughty boy on the surface. is not informal, but he is very strict with his apprentices, and it seems that the little monk is not less punished by him on weekdays.

I smiled, reached out and touched Xiao Zhengfang's bald head, and said, "It's okay." You eat it, I'll eat the other. ”

Then, I turned my head to look at Xuan Du and Yuan Ling: "Just let Xiao Zhengfang eat, and see what the children have been wronged." ”

The old monk glanced at Yuan Ling, and a trace of imperceptible disappointment flashed on his face. nodded: "Master Ji Shi is really kind-hearted, I've been here for two days, and I haven't entertained you well, so you can eat more of these braised pork today." ”

I really want to eat more, but when I think of the old monk and Zhengfang rushing to eat meat yesterday, I suddenly feel a little unbearable: this old man and young man are guarding in the mountains, and they will definitely not be able to eat anything good on weekdays, otherwise they will not be so hungry for meat. When you go out of the mountains by yourself, do you want to eat anything? Why bother with the elderly and children for food?

So, I picked the smallest piece of braised pork and put it in my mouth. Not to mention, it's really fragrant, fat but not greasy, and melts in your mouth, I really didn't expect Yuan Ling's craftsmanship to be so good.

A piece of braised pork goes down the belly. I suddenly felt all the worms in my stomach attack, scratching in my stomach to eat, and I couldn't help but stretch out my chopsticks to the braised pork plate.

As soon as the chopsticks were halfway extended, I saw the face of the little square dripping with saliva, and then I saw the old monk smiling and encouraging me to continue eating. I suddenly felt an indescribable sense of shame in my heart: Didn't I say that I would eat well after I went out of the mountain? Didn't you say that you don't want to eat with the elderly and children?

But the braised pork is really so fragrant, the cravings in my stomach can't be stopped at all, no wonder Xiao Zhengfang drools when he sees it, if I were a child, I would dare to snatch the whole dish directly.

What to do?

In order to fight my appetite, I had to think of a disgusting solution, trying to recall the arms and human faces I saw in the well, and silently said to myself in my heart: That's human flesh, that's human flesh, you can't eat it.

I don't know if my psychological suggestion is too effective, I just thought about it twice, I couldn't help but feel sick to my stomach, quickly got up and ran to the grass outside the door, and vomited in the dark.

Yuan Ling also followed, her face a little ugly: "What's wrong?" Is my food unappetizing? ”

I waved my hand: "No, I just remembered something disgusting." ”

After all this tossing, I no longer have the appetite for breakfast. The old monk invited me again and again, but I was sick to my stomach when I saw the braised pork, and I hurriedly ended breakfast after eating two bites of vegetarian food.

After eating and resting for a while, the old monk led Yuan Ling and me to the main hall, ready to chant and bless the Jade Guanyin pendant again.

I sat on the futon, and when I had nothing to do, I looked around casually, and this time I didn't care, and on the statue of the god in the center of the main hall, there was an extra wound on the arm holding the copper mace, and the copper mace was still stained with blood, and there was a pinch of black cat hair.

This...... Isn't this the arm that sneaked up on the masked girl in my dream yesterday?
