This Tuesday asked you a question that I asked you at the beginning of this novel.

I nodded symbolically, and although I didn't believe it in my heart, I had no choice but to keep the story going smoothly on Tuesday. "I believe that the world is strange and all-encompassing."

"Big brother, I don't care if you believe it really or not." Tuesday picked up the cup again and drained it all. "I want to tell you that our village is a village with dragons as its ancestors, and this is an indisputable fact."

I also drank a glass of my daughter's red, and by this time I had no idea the taste of it, because as soon as I heard the story, I was engrossed. Tuesday's remark should be true, China has always regarded the dragon as a symbol of the sublime, and it is not surprising that a village defines itself as the heir of the dragon.

"There has always been a legend in our village, which is also the origin of Longjing tea, according to legend, there was once a grand banquet in the heavenly court, and a great god got drunk and accidentally let the teacup fall into the world. This teacup turned into a well in the world, this well exudes a refreshing smell of tea, a dragon often comes to this well to absorb the fairy energy, and then the dragon flew away, leaving a well of sweet spring, which is what we call the dragon well today. "Tuesday patiently talked to me, but at the end of the day he paused." In fact, I don't believe in this story, this kind of rhetoric abounds in mythological stories, all of which are the cranky thoughts of many ancients, purely to fool others into believing that their territory is protected by gods. ”

I told a vivid story on Tuesday, but I immediately denied it, which puzzled me a little.

"Big brother, I'll tell you this story first, just to tell you that I'm very sober-minded, and I won't use a cliché myth to bluff you, this kind of story can't deceive you, and even I don't bother to believe it." As he spoke, sweat broke out on his forehead as he spoke. "The story I'm going to tell you next is the point."

"I also listened to my grandfather about this, my grandfather is a simple old peasant, he doesn't know a few big words, let alone make up stories to deceive people, you let him tell a little lie casually, he will blush. So I'm sure he would never lie to me. "The small gesture of shaking the wine glass in the water on Tuesday shows that he is not at peace right now." He told me that there was a great drought in China in the middle of the last century, and the Qiantang River was drying up, the crops were gone, and the tea trees were all dead. The people of the village prayed to God for the rain to come. ”

"Later, under everyone's daily prayers, God opened his eyes, and the heavy rain poured down from the sky, which rained for several days, and then the Qiantang River directly flooded the tide, and many farmlands were washed away, salt invading, soil quality changes, and crops can no longer be planted." Tuesday didn't dare to breathe, and his expression was very focused. "The villagers were frightened, there was a big drought and a big flood, and they thought that this was because they had offended the gods, so there would be such a succession of disasters."

In the middle of Tuesday's conversation, there was an abrupt stop. It's not that he doesn't want to continue, it's just that his heart is beating faster, and he needs to take a break. Just as he was resting, I took out my mobile phone to check the tide of the Qiantang River in the last century on the Internet, and found that this was really the case.

"Don't worry, brother, speak slowly." I hurriedly persuaded.

"Brother Liu, you must believe me in what you say next, I once told a few of my classmates, they all said that I was mentally retarded, and they didn't believe it at all." Tuesday took a deep breath and stared at me with sincere eyes.

"Later, my grandfather said that one fell from the sky, a bloody dragon head." Tuesday stammered and finally finished speaking.

Tap?!

It was unheard of, and I was so startled that I had beads of sweat on my face as much as Tuesday.

Tuesday this person is young, it is still possible to lie and deceive people, but in the tone he just said, he himself was frightened into speech, trembling, obviously not lying. Even if this thing is false, at least he himself believes it is true.

If that's true, it's a little creepy.

I compodated, trying to squeeze out a smile. "How did your grandfather determine that it was the dragon's head, and everyone had never seen a dragon."

"It happened, my grandfather said that he still had a dozen people working on the old Longjing side to cultivate the land, because it had just rained, and the land had absorbed water. The land that has been dry for a long time can finally be planted with tea trees. "I poured another glass of wine on Tuesday and couldn't help but drink it all again." My grandfather and a few of them were working with their heads down, and suddenly there was a loud noise, and my grandfather hurriedly looked up and found that there was a behemoth that fell straight into the old dragon well. ”

I thought to myself, there are a lot of behemoths, and they don't have to be dragon heads. But Long Shao told me before that at the critical moment, I asked me not to interrupt him, so I naturally just thought about it in my heart and would never say it.

"Then my grandfather and a few of them were at the mouth of the well and looked in. I was so frightened that I was paralyzed and couldn't stand still. "Tuesday looked me in the eye and that look told me he was going to say the most incredible thing of the night." The water in the well was stained red, because the well was so deep that they could not see too clearly, only to see patches of scales and thick hair, and two wide eyes. ”

"But that doesn't prove that this is a dragon's head, has anyone ever seen a dragon?" I still couldn't hold back the doubts in my heart, and said them casually.

"I also asked my grandfather about this question, because at first I didn't believe it, I didn't believe it at all." Tuesday hurriedly explained. "My grandfather said that the villagers basically have no culture, but they have all seen the portrait of the dragon, although the thing in the well is different from the painting, but if it is an animal, it looks like the dragon the most. Almost every villager can conclude that this is the dragon's head. ”

I couldn't help but swallow the rest of my daughter red in the glass, the mellow wine running between my teeth, I wanted to use alcohol to help calm my brain, but it didn't help.

"Everyone was so frightened that they ran home, and no one even dared to look at the thing in the well anymore. My grandfather was so scared that he didn't sleep all night, and he was breathing disorderly at the thought of that image. "On Tuesday, the tone finally softened a bit, and the tone began to be less frightening." But my grandmother was a superstitious person, and when she heard my grandfather say this, she blamed my grandfather for not salvaging the thing, thinking that it was disrespectful to the gods, and that even the dragon's head should be properly buried. My grandfather is stupid, and he can't talk about grandma, so he can only bite the bullet and call a few guys to salvage it early the next morning. ”

"As a result, the behemoth is no longer in the well, and the water is clear again." Tuesday made a gesture of helplessness, meaning that he also found it incredible.

"Gone? Could it be that other villagers have taken it away? ”

"How is that possible?" Tuesday smiled wryly, a smile that had not been seen in a long time. I haven't seen a smile since he started telling this story. "Everyone is scared to death, who dares to fish for this at night."

"And then?"

"Then they didn't give up, so they went to the bottom of the well, and found only a pile of milky white cone-shaped stones, about a hundred, of different sizes, but basically the same pattern, very similar to the one on your neck." Said Tuesday.

"Is that all there is to these stone-like things? Did you find the faucet later? "I'm still a little confused, and I always feel that there are some overlooked loopholes in this story.

"This is the weirdest part, this dragon head can no longer be found, and the villagers who have seen the dragon head can't remember what the dragon head looks like. The image of the dragon was diluted in their minds. "Say it to me on Tuesday." But people can really remember that there was a dragon head that fell into the water, but if you asked them to draw a portrait, none of them could draw it. ”

This does sound a bit unbelievable, these villagers can remember that they have scales and hair, but they can't remember how they look in more detail, could it be that the gods have hollowed out their memories? I glanced down at the little pendant around my neck. "So everyone thinks that this stone-like object is a dragon's tooth."

"Big brother, what else can you think of something of this size? And don't you think this looks like an animal tooth? Since then, Longjing Village has become more and more prosperous, and everyone's business is getting better and better, and the villagers feel that this is a gift from God. "On Tuesday, I drank the last cup of this vat of daughter red slowly, and I was relieved." That's why I say that the person who gave you such a valuable thing is your true friend. And it must be a person who is related to our Longjing Village. ”
