"Then why do you want to ask the lame man to build a house on the north side of the village?" I asked again.

The middle-aged woman said: "The lame man said, building a few houses can suppress the underground dragon girl, who knows that everything else is built and this one is missing, after the foundation is laid, as long as there is a brick, there will be an accident, and then there are too many things, and the nearby house building class does not dare to come again." ”

I said, "That's why you went so far to get us." ”

The middle-aged woman nodded.

Qiang Shun suddenly snorted coldly, "Then aren't you cheating on us." ”

The middle-aged woman immediately glanced at Qiang Shun with a look of shame.

I hurriedly motioned for Qiang Shun to stop talking, and asked again, "Is that well still there?" ”

The middle-aged woman nodded, "Yes, just north of the village." ”

North of the village? I was stunned for a moment, could it be near the house we were building, and I asked, "Why don't you fill in the well?" ”

The middle-aged woman replied with a frightened face: "I can't fill it, no matter how much soil I fill it in, I can't fill it." ”

"Then why did you dig that well?"

The middle-aged woman said: "It's not that the people in our village want to fight, it's the villagers who let the people beat, it turns out that it is the cemetery of our village, and the ancestral graves of each family are there, and then the villagers called the cemetery to level the grain and plant food, and the village cadres took the lead in leveling the grave, and the township paid someone to dig this well for us, and when the well was drilled, the well team died a person, and then the water drawn up after the well was all red, and the villagers left without saying anything, and the people in the village said that this land was unlucky, and then no one cared about it. It has been deserted until now. ”

After listening to the middle-aged woman, I sorted out her words in my mind, and immediately asked: "At the beginning, you drilled a well, and then there began to be accidents in your village, and then later, when a lame man came to ask for food, he asked you to build a house in the north of the village, and then only one house was left that could not be built, and the people in the house building class always had accidents, right?" ”

"Yes." The middle-aged woman nodded.

I put it up in my heart again, and if I want to say this, this thing is really a bit strange, the cemetery, the well, the red water, the house that can't be built, and what the "dragon girl" is. If there are ghosts in that place, what about the well water? If you want to say that there is a demon there, it is impossible for the demon to hide under the ground for tens of meters, and there is a possibility that the drill bit of the drilling well has been driven into the groundwater, and there is something in the groundwater, which just hit that thing, but this is also unlikely, the groundwater is dyed red, how big should that thing be?

I asked, "Where is that well north of your village?" ”

The middle-aged woman immediately looked at me suspiciously and said, "You don't want to go to the well, don't go." ”

"Why?"

The middle-aged woman's face changed, and she said: "There was a cry in the middle of the night in that well, and the people in the village said that it was the cry of the dragon girl, and sometimes she also ran out to our village to cry, crying so miserably and terrifyingly. ”

"And this, does the lame man know about it, what did he say?"

He didn't know that there was no crying when he came, and that what he had only after he was gone was ...... It started last winter, and some people in our village said that the houses built by the lame people pressed the dragon girl, and she cried only when it hurt, as long as the last house can be built, the dragon girl will not come out again in the future. ”

The middle-aged woman paused, lowered her voice and said: "The dragon girl is afraid of dogs, as soon as the dog bites, the crying is gone, and then we have dogs in the village, but no one dares to go out at night." I see that the two of you will go back quickly after dinner, and tell your contractor, don't do this work and go home, if you don't go back, sooner or later you will all have to do something, and ah, don't say that I said it. ”

I nodded, and Qiang Shun asked coldly at this time, "People in your village don't dare to go out at night, why is your restaurant still open at night?" ”

The middle-aged woman glanced at Qiang Shun and said, "We are waiting for someone, there is a girl in the outer village, who will come over every night to buy a shredded meat noodles for his father, the girl said, his father is sick and can't get out of bed, but he likes to eat the shredded meat noodles we make here, she will come over every day, the wind and rain have not been delayed, we just wait for her every night." ”

"Hasn't she come yet?"

As soon as I asked this, there was a knock on the door, and a good-looking girl walked in outside the door, looking about the same age as us, in her early twenties, and the middle-aged woman hurriedly stood up from the chair and said to the girl, "Are you here?" ”

The girl nodded at her, and then glanced at us, and I looked at her, and she quickly looked away, as if I were a bad young man.

The middle-aged woman then said to the two of us, "What do you two eat, I'll ask the gang to cook together." ”

Qiang Shun immediately covered his mouth and said vaguely: "We also eat shredded meat noodles." ”

I turned my head to look at him and whispered, "You have a face." ”

The middle-aged woman nodded, turned around and greeted the girl: "Girl, you sit here and wait for a while, and the meeting will be fine immediately." ”

The girl smiled coyly at the middle-aged woman and sat down in the seat farthest away from us.

Qiang Shun was still covering his mouth at this time, his eyes were like flies glancing at people's chests, at this moment, I felt embarrassed to sit with him.

I picked up the wine bottle and filled the glass for him, and whispered: "Don't cover it, why do you drink all the time, how many times have you been talking, give yourself a little face, it's a shame to come out with you!" ”

Qiang Shun was not happy, put his hand down and said, "Didn't you see it? ”

I said, "I see it, and it's not as virtuous as yours, if you really want to see it, get your yin and yang eyes out and see what kind of thing she is." ”

Qiang Shun was stunned for a moment, "What do you mean, don't you say this girl is not human?" ”

I glanced at the girl, who was sitting there with her head bowed, motionless, and said in a low voice, "Definitely not human!" ”

Qiang Shun looked at me, then at the girl, and said loudly: "Forget it, you want to lie to me again, now you are begging me, when I open my eyes, it will be time for me to beg you, I am not so stupid." ”

I pursed my lips, "If you don't believe it, forget it, let's go and see, this girl looks like she is possessed by some flower ghost, you have been looking at her just now, she will definitely go to you tonight, I don't care about you then." ”

"You have to take care of it!"

I nodded, "Medium, count you ruthless." ”

Ten minutes later, three bowls of shredded pork noodles came out together, and our two bowls of middle-aged women were brought to the table for us, and the girl's bowl was put in two plastic bags for her.

After the girl left, I wanted to ask the middle-aged woman what village the girl was from, but after thinking about it again, I didn't want to misunderstand people anymore, so I swallowed the words back.

After dinner, we left the hotel and went straight to our accommodation, and after a while, we left the village and walked onto the path that led to our accommodation.

At this time, I remembered something and said to Qiang Shun: "I still forgot to ask where the boss's wellhead is." ”

Qiang Shun asked, "You don't want to take a look at the well, do you?" ”

I glanced at Qiang Shun and said, "If you don't say that we are so good, you know everything I think." ”

Qiang Shun immediately said: "If you want to go, I won't go." ”

I immediately stopped, "Then you go back by yourself first, and I'll go alone." ”

Qiang Shun also stopped and said, "Then you have to send me back first and then you go." ”

I said, "You don't have long legs." ”

Qiang Shun hurriedly said: "I can't jump off that wall!" ”

Qiang Shun is not only a little shorter than me, but his physical fitness is not as good as mine, plus this guy is too inert, I think when I was in school, I was the first in sports every time, and he was the first from the bottom every time. When I came out of the wall just now, I lifted him up to the wall, and at this time I told him to go back alone, and it was impossible for him to climb over the wall by himself.

I said, "If you can't jump over that wall, you can figure it out yourself." ”

"You, you ......" forced "you, you" twice, and stood side by side with me.

When I came to where we lived, I counted the houses around me, and added the unbuilt ones, a total of seven from east to west, and the distance between these seven houses was about the same, but they were not on the same line, and the one we built was like a big tail thrown out.

After walking around a few houses, I couldn't help but ask Qiang Shun, "Do you look at the arrangement of these houses, do they look like the Big Dipper in the sky?" ”

Qiang Shun is probably still angry with me at this time, and he didn't squeak.

I said again: "I remember that there seems to be a Beidou Tiangang Array in the Taoist, which may also be called the Tiangang Beidou Array, which is used to suppress demons. As I spoke, I looked at a few more houses, "Oh no, that well is in the house we built, no wonder there are always accidents." As he spoke, I was about to go to the house we had built, and Qiang Shun grabbed me from the side, "We have been working there during the day, do you see a well?" ”

I said, "I must have covered it for the people in their village, let's just look for it." ”

"Even if you find it, you might as well look for it tomorrow during the day."

I nodded, and I was right, if there was a big guy in that well, it would be a big night, and we would both be able to get the way.

When I climbed over the wall and returned to my residence, it was already eleven o'clock, and at this time, I vaguely heard movement on the road outside, and I couldn't hear it clearly, as if someone was crying.

Qiang Shun's face immediately turned white, and he took off his clothes in a panic and got into the quilt in embarrassment.

I sat down on the bed, held my breath and closed my eyes for a while, and there was indeed a cry, and it was the cry of a young woman.

I quietly turned off the light, got up from my bed, and walked out lightly, and when I reached the courtyard, the crying stopped, and the silence around me was terrible.

I stood in the yard and waited for a while, but there was no sound at all, and I turned back into the house, and just sat down on the bed to undress, when the cry came again, this time it seemed to be a little closer to us, and the woman's cry sounded like the scream of a cat, which was particularly poignant.
