Chapter 5 Lock the Dragon Well
After two o'clock in the afternoon, the weather is not bad, the main tea farmers who have eaten have gone out, and they have not taken a look at it from our side, as if it is very common, the reason may be that there are more travelers who come here to visit, and then those tea merchants come here to try their luck, so it is not strange to see the tea farmers who have entered the village.
The four of us took a leisurely turn around the village, observing the terrain while paying attention to the strange places in the village, but unfortunately after shuttling back and forth in the village three or four times, we still didn't feel anything, could it be that this is not here?
"Maybe someone to ask?" Dabao proposed.
Dong Bing slapped him on the back of the head with one hand, "Ask your sister, don't you tell others what we are doing when you ask?" If we get stabbed at the local police station, we'll have to trouble someone from Z9 to wipe their butts, and I don't want to owe this favor. ”
Dabao touched the back of his head, his eyes flickered, snapped his fingers, and said: "It's not okay to ask adults, then find a child to ask, they are relatively low vigilant and easy to coax!" ”
Weizi took out his mobile phone and glanced at it, and said, "Today happens to be Sunday, ask children under the age of fifteen and over the age of ten." Don't ask me why I did it, don't want to explain. When he saw Dabao's mouth about to open up, he immediately said it to death.
Seeing that Dabao turned his gaze, I had no choice but to explain for Weizi: "Over fifteen years old, the mind is already relatively mature, and people are also vigilant. Over ten years old, because of the calculation of the age of years, just the age at which they can remember, if there is something impressive that happened back then, there must be a memory, then it is easy to ask, and the vigilance is not high, and a little sweetness will basically say anything. ”
After the explanation, we wandered around the village, looking around for children, and acted like human traffickers. After spending more than an hour like this, I saw two children digging ant holes there by a ditch, Dong Bing rubbed his thick palms, and said excitedly: "Haha, I finally caught two alive." ”
After speaking, they rushed over, and before they could open their mouths to speak, the two children looked at Dong Bing in horror as if they had seen a ghost, and they didn't know which of them shouted, "Strange Shu is here." "I ran clean with a smoke, leaving messy footprints on the edge of the ditch.
"Who says children aren't vigilant?" Dong Bing walked back and said indignantly.
Weizi shrugged his shoulders and said, "That's because you have too many nightmares, it's normal for children to be easily frightened, but poor these two babies must have nightmares tonight." ”
This Huang Shilang's poisonous tongue quirk began to attack again, and he choked Dong Bing Qi enough in just a few words. Zhang Sanye's face was slightly red, and he was about to say a few words, but I immediately stopped him, and in a blink of an eye, I saw a little Lori who looked no more than seven or eight years old on the opposite side of the small bridge in the distance was jumping over, and the two small braids on the back of his head were like two small tails swinging left and right, like a beautiful picture, Ning Ren liked it with all his heart.
The little girl walked over happily at first, but when she saw Dong Bing's face, she immediately took a step back timidly, and changed to an expression of 'if you dare to come, I will cry immediately'.
Seeing that she seemed to be scared and was about to turn around and leave, I didn't care if she was over ten years old, so I immediately took out a few chocolate candies from the big treasure bag, and hurriedly took them in my hand and shook them at the little girl, just like the strange Shu millet who abducted the little Lori.
"Is it for me?" Seeing the candy, although the little Lori still looked timid, her two little feet were fixed on the ground and couldn't move.
Looking at the chocolate candy handed to her, little Lori wanted to reach out and take it, but she didn't dare to do so, so she stood in place timidly and said crisply, "Uncle, can I really take it?" ”
I tried to create a very kind smile, "Of course it's for you, but can you answer a few questions from your uncle?" ”
Little Lori may have misheard my words, and shrank back in fear, "Are you trying to kidnap me?" Mom said that people who deliberately use candy to get close are badasas. ”
I looked at the little girl with a little headache, but quickly added: "I only ask you a few questions, and after asking uncle, I will give you candy, and I won't carry you away!" ”
The little girl looked at me, then at the candy in her palm, and finally at the allure of the chocolate candy, and then she mumbled in her little mouth, and opened her mouth to say, "Uncle ask." ”
I squatted down, and seeing that the little girl had no intention of turning around and running, I stuffed the candy in my hand into her little hand and asked softly, "Is there a well in your village?" ”
"Well?" The little girl innocently tilted her head and thought for a while, and said, "Yes, there is a well in Uncle Wang's yard next door to my house, and the well is so deep that I don't dare to look down." But Uncle Wang is very good to me, and he often buys me a lot of delicious food when he comes back from outside, "Okay, this little guy has the potential to chatter, but why does Uncle Wang next door sound an inexplicable sense of familiarity?"
I realized that I had asked in the wrong direction, and asked again: "Uncle doesn't mean the well in someone else's house, little sister, you should think about it again, such as the well that people in the village dare not approach or the well that cannot be used to draw water?" ”
Little Lori puffed out her cheeks and said angrily: "We don't need to fetch water, our village is rich, it's all sucked up by water pipes, if you despise us rural people, I will ignore you, and I don't want your sugar!" ”
"Good! It's okay to apologize to you if your uncle said the wrong thing, but can you tell your uncle about the question you just asked? "I find that children nowadays know so much, how simple they are when we were children.
After making a forgiveness expression, the little girl pointed to the left behind us and said, "Just over there, across that field, and then over a small hill, there is a well, where I used to go there with my friends, but when I came home, I was spanked by my mother, and I often told me not to go there, saying that it was a youkai who ate children in the well." ”
At this point, the little girl looked at us with wide eyes and asked, "Are you the mages you played on TV?" I'm here to destroy the monsters that eat children.,Great.,I'm going to tell the rest of you the news.。 ”
When she said this, I immediately made a silent gesture, "Yes, we're here to destroy the monsters, but we don't want others to know, so can you keep the password for us?" If it is seen, our mana will not work. ”
"Okay, then I'll keep it a secret for you!" The little girl peeled off her candy coat and took it into her mouth, grinning.
"Let's pull the hook!"
I stretched out my little thumb and pulled the little girl, "The hook has been pulled, so this is the secret between us, don't say it, otherwise you will have a pig's nose." ”
Little Lori put away her smile and nodded solemnly.
So the four of us said goodbye to the little girl, and when we passed through the acres of tea fields, we saw a small slope with a sloping slope and a cistern beside it. Under a few crooked-necked trees, a raised circle of white stone can be seen in the distance.
It is obviously the appearance of the wellhead, and three large rusty iron chains lie on the well and extend vertically, with no end in sight.
"Probably this is it!" I said.
As we walked over, we could see the word 'dragon' on a broken stone tablet that had been broken in half. I looked into the well, and it was so dark that I couldn't see it even if the sun was shining outside, so Dabao took out the glow-in-the-dark rod and twisted it into the well, falling with the fluorescence until it disappeared into the darkness, and I didn't see it stay, as if it was like an abyssal mouth eating the only bit of light.
"Damn, it's not going to be a bottomless pit, is it?" Dongbing exclaimed.
Weizi pulled the chain, and he held back enough strength to let the chain move, panting and saying: "Anyway, it won't go down, no matter how deep it is, hurry up and get down to business." ”
After speaking, he took out two wrist-thick cables from the big bag, about seven or eight meters, and tied them to a nearby tree, and tied the other end to the chain buckle, so as not to cut a piece of iron chain down when the time comes, and a few of us can't pull it at all.
When we were ready, Dabao and Dong Bing and I began to use the portable electric cutting saw to start cutting in sections. The squeaky cutting sound suddenly became loud, and the non-stop splashing sparks were scalding out more than a dozen small holes on the ballistic clothes.
Suddenly, the chain we cut shook a little, and Weizi on the side exclaimed in surprise: "Hurry up, do you feel that the chain just moved unnaturally?" ”
Nonsense, of course we felt it, seeing that there was still a thumb width left, the iron chain was taken off, and at the joint, the three iron chains straightened, as if something was pulling it tightly, and this flicker, the cutting tool in our hands was deflected.
I heard the sound of dry water gurgling in the well, as if something was about to come out. I didn't have time to think about it, so I called Dabao and Dong Bing to hold on to the chain so that it wouldn't move, and threw the cutting tool to Weizi to cut the rest of it.
The movement of the iron chain is getting bigger and bigger, the cable is also tightened, and the big tree is also beginning to tilt a little, and the three of us are swinging left and right with the iron chain, Weizi is cutting, and the sweat keeps dripping from his forehead.
There was a crisp sound, and Weizi yelled that it was okay.
So the three of us kicked through the masonry on the edge of the well and struggled to pull the chain back to its original place. Suddenly, I heard Weizi shouting to dodge, and I heard the sound of gurgling water from the well behind me, and a huge fishy smell permeated the air.
After the three of us heard Weizi's warning, we immediately rolled on the spot without thinking about it, and rolled away from it, and as soon as we stopped, we felt a bang on the ground, and the ground shook violently.
I hurriedly turned over, looked up, and saw a huge hairy claw with the thickness of the wellhead standing above the wellhead, and the sharp claw tips ploughed the ground four ten-centimeter-wide marks.
