Volume 27 The Well of Spirits Chapter 4 The Well of Spirits (2 more, collection)
Early in the morning, the sky was cloudy, I slowly opened my eyes, woke up from my sleep, when I woke up, I found myself lying on the edge of the well, I vaguely remember, some memories, I remember last night was grilling meat skewers, and then I heard someone call myself, and then I saw a woman crawling out of the well, no, to be precise, not a woman who crawled out, but a female ghost who crawled out.
"W-what the hell is going on?" I muttered, "How could I see a female ghost crawling out of the well, am I really nervous, this, this is too wrong." ”
I hurriedly stood up, glanced at the ancient well beside me, and was still a little timid, although I didn't believe it, there were any female ghosts, but I still couldn't help but be afraid, this is the panic in my heart, I know that it is impossible, but I will be a little afraid, I timidly probe into the well, want to see if there is anything inside.
After I looked in, I found that there was only well water in the well, and there was nothing superfluous, so I slowly breathed a sigh of relief: "Whew, it seems that I am thinking too much, there is nothing in it, there are some female ghosts there, it seems that I am a little nervous." ”
"Uh, Wu Zhihao, what are you doing?"
At this moment, a woman's voice sounded from behind me, I got up suddenly, turned my head to look in the direction of the gate of the ancient courtyard, and a woman was standing at the door, and the woman hurriedly trotted to my side.
"Uh...... You are? I looked at this woman carefully, and suddenly my eyes lit up, and I said, "You are not the waitress I saw in the hotel yesterday!" ”
"Well, Wu Zhihao, why can't you think about it?" The waitress looked at me and said something inexplicable.
"Ugh." I glanced at the waitress a little stunned, then at the ancient well, and suddenly realized, I smiled: "Haha, you don't think that I want to commit suicide by jumping into the well!" ”
"Uh, how is it not?" The waitress wondered.
"Hehe, of course not." I smiled and said, "I just wanted to see this ancient well, how could I kill myself, I haven't lived enough." ”
"Oh, I see!" The waitress was a little apologetic, "I'm really sorry, I just saw your behavior and thought you were going to jump into the well." ”
"Hehe, nothing to be sorry about." I shook my head and said, "You're also kind, and I don't mean to blame you, by the way, what are you doing here?" ”
"Actually, I thought about it yesterday, and I was still a little embarrassed to take your money for no reason." The waitress took out a small stack of money from her pocket and said, "I'll give you all the rest of the money!" ”
"Uh, you're here to pay me back?" I looked at the waitress at the country hotel suspiciously.
"Not bad!" The waitress nodded and said, "As the saying goes, no merit is not rewarded, how can I accept this money from you, I can't get over it on my conscience, you better take it!" ”
"Ugh." I looked at the waitress in a bit of astonishment.
The waitress's behavior really surprised me a little, if you are in the city, give someone money, everyone rushes to ask for it, but like this woman, it is really rare to not pay attention to money, which can show that this woman is very backbone, although a thousand yuan is not much, but she will not accept it.
......
"Well, it's really rare, it's so rare to see someone like you have a backbone." I smiled and said, "Okay, let you take it, you can accept it, the money sent out, then there is a reason to ask for it back." ”
"But, I really can't ask for this money!" The waitress pushed.
"Alright, you can take it!" I smiled and said, "Besides, my money is not given to you for nothing, you didn't show me a way to come here, so I didn't pay this money for nothing, just take it as your guide fee!" ”
"Well, but, even so, I don't need much!" The waitress hesitated a little.
"Hehe, okay, don't think about it." I smiled and said, "By the way, you haven't eaten yet!" Just in time for you to taste the barbecue I grilled. ”
"Ugh." The woman looked at me a little startled, then nodded slowly.
Then I went to get something and baked food for this woman, and while I was grilling skewers here, I suddenly thought of something and asked, "By the way, girl, at your age, you must have been married in the village!" ”
"No, I'm not married yet." The waitress shook her head.
"Oh, that's right!" I nodded suddenly and continued to ask: "Look at you just now, you can still say some idioms, why haven't you thought about it, go to school outside the village, if you go to school, it must be better than mixing here." ”
"Hey, I go to school outside and ask for money, so how can I have more money." The woman shook her head and said, "I can only work in a restaurant to supplement my family, but when I'm fine, I will also read some study books." ”
"That's right, that's really miserable." I sighed a little.
"Hehe, but it's not too bad." The waitress smiled cheerfully: "I feel very satisfied to live in this village where I grew up and raised, and it doesn't matter if I go to school or not." ”
"Hehe, I didn't expect you to be quite cheerful." I said with a smile.
"What can be done if you are not cheerful." The waitress smiled: "People always have to live, happy is alive, sad is alive, it's better to live happily, so there are no regrets." ”
"Hehe, that's a good point." I said with a smile.
Then I grilled the skewers here, and after dozens of minutes, the skewers were a little golden, so I took the skewers, walked up to the waitress, handed them to the waitress and said, "Okay, it's done, you can taste it!" ”
"Well, thank you." The waitress nodded slightly, took the skewers, and ate them here.
"How?" I looked at the waitress and asked.
"Well, it's delicious." The waitress nodded.
I looked at the waitress and smiled, and then I took a skewer and ate it here, and the skewer was finally a little presentable.
"Wu Zhihao, I have something I want to ask you?" The waitress suddenly looked at me and asked.
"Oh? Say whatever you want! I replied with a smile.
"Now that there are restaurants in the village, why do you still have a barbecue grill and barbecue yourself here?" The waitress looked at me and asked.
"Hehe, this is my hobby, I like to bake and eat in the mountain village." I smiled and said, "I think it's very happy, if I buy it, then what's the point of me coming out." ”
......
"That's right!" The waitress suddenly realized.
"By the way, I want to ask you, what's going on with this ancient well?" I looked at the waitress and asked, "What's the matter with this female ghost, have you really seen a female ghost?" ”
"Well, I don't know." The waitress shook her head and said: "I just heard that other people in the village said that there was once a woman in this ancient courtyard, as if because of something, she suddenly committed suicide by jumping into the well, and after committing suicide, the soul of the wronged person is in the well, and the people in our village have not been allowed to enter this courtyard, for us, this courtyard is a bad omen." ”
"Everyone is hiding, and no one dares to enter this courtyard." The waitress trembled a little and said, "Even the children in the village don't play here, and the ghosts don't see it with their own eyes, but every night, we can hear some terrifying sounds coming from the ancient well in this courtyard." ”
"Well, I see!" It dawned on me that "no one has ever seen a ghost, and it's all spread here." ”
"yes!" The waitress nodded and said, "I think, if I really see a ghost, I don't see anyone, I can live!" ”
"Hehe, this ghost, I think it's just superstition." I smiled and said, "You don't have to be too scared, there are ghosts there, I didn't stay here for one night, I'm not alive and well, I think you're thinking too much, there can't be ghosts." ”
"Well, maybe!" The waitress nodded and said.
"Hehe, I don't believe in the legend of this ghost anyway." I shook my head and smiled: "If there is really a ghost, then it's not a mess, I think, this must be your village, deliberately said so!" ”
"I don't know." The waitress shook her head and replied.
"Well, by the way, you just said that the woman in this yard committed suicide by jumping into a well, what's going on?" I looked at the waitress and asked, "The reason why she committed suicide, was it because she was trapped in love?" Or for some other reason. ”
"Well, I don't know." The waitress shook her head and said, "If you really want to find out, you can only ask those old grandmothers, they have been in the village longer than me, they must know more details." ”
"Oh, that's right." I nodded, and continued to eat the skewers.
How long has this ancient courtyard been abandoned, it seems that the owner of this courtyard has not been dead for a short time, maybe there are no descendants anymore, and the people in these villages, even if they know, I am afraid they are not detailed!
But who is the female ghost I always dream of? I hadn't seen her again, why I could always dream of her, it was so strange indeed, all of this seemed so strange, a strange female ghost, a terrible well, and a deserted ancient courtyard.
It was all so strange, and though I felt strange, I couldn't inquire, and even if they knew, they probably wouldn't have told me, and at six or seven o'clock I left the courtyard with the waitress, and I was going to walk around the village and have a good walk, while the waitress went to work.
I sent the waitress back to the hotel and left slowly.
