Chapter 19: The Well

"If you can ask this question, it means that you don't know anything about this village, you must know that whether it is a person or a ghost, you have to find a door to lock and shrink it."

Shen Qingge leaned leisurely against the wall with his arms crossed, biting a lollipop that he didn't know where to go, and looked down at Xia Beifeng who was fiddling with knots from time to time.

"They are not hiding from thieves, but the guy just now, do you understand?"

This is quite subtle, but it seems very simple and easy to understand in the ears of the only listener, and the cause and effect are clear at a glance.

But won't the great god who closes the door come in?

He's really polite!

"Got it." Xia Beifeng nodded calmly: "You mean to say that before we came, the last time he hid here was not a person, right?" ”

"That's smart!" Shen Qingge patted him on the shoulder approvingly, and urged: "Okay, no, didn't you tie this rope yourself, why don't you have it for so long." ”

"It's pretty easy to untie if you didn't pull it just now, but it's a bit of a hassle now." He picked up half of the rope that fell to the ground and shook it a few times at Shen Qingge: "I was tossed by you like that, it's too tight now, and I can only get it little by little." ”

"Or is that my mistake?"

"No, no, no, you're not wrong, it's just not right." Xia Beifeng bowed his head respectfully, and continued to struggle with the knot that was "not difficult".

"It's all my fault."

Shen Qingge lowered his head and blinked, not knowing what he thought. He burst out laughing.

Xia Beifeng was startled by her laughter and raised his head in surprise.

"What are you laughing at?"

"I'm laughing......" Shen Qingge put away his smile and said seriously: "What you just said, think about it carefully, it's so dirty!" ”

Xia Beifeng: "......"

After looking at her with mixed emotions for a long time, he slowly spoke again: "I really don't know what you have in your head, and you can actually think of this from such a normal conversation." ”

"Because you have a terrible impression on me, do you have any opinions?"

"I don't dare to have an opinion." Xia Beifeng bent over, carefully untied the last knot, pulled the rope hard, and raised his hand to open the wooden door of the room.

The hot air outside the door rushed into the cool room, making him want to retract and close the door again.

However, in the end, he was forcibly pulled out of the door by Shen Qingge.

"So the last person I want to go out with is you." Xia Beifeng was grabbed by her wrist, dragged forward, and complained in a low voice: "As soon as you go out, it's the sun, and there is no wind." It's still so lively, and I don't know if I'm tired of running around. ”

Isn't this guy a dead man, where did he get such vigorous energy!

"What did you just say?"

Shen Qingge turned his head and gave him a bright smile, the tip of the spear in his hand sliding back and forth on the ground, drawing a meaningless pattern.

"I ...... I didn't say anything...... Ah, I said that ......" Xia Beifeng quickly looked around, pointed to a few broken tiles on the ground, and said quickly: "This is what the hungry ghost cub kicked down when he climbed the roof just now." ”

"Seems to be." Shen Qingge glanced at the tiles in front of the door of the house and sneered: "You can still drag mud and water when you climb a roof, you have died in vain for so many years!" ”

Your logic is not quite right, right, should people be able to climb the roof after many years of death?

What's more, it was only so big when it died, and there was a great god like you sitting underneath to scare it!

Xia Beifeng kept talking in his heart, but he had a smile on his face and kept nodding yes.

"Where the hell are you going to take me?"

After walking on the winding path for seven or eight minutes, Xia Beifeng remembered to ask about it again.

"Lunch was eaten in the coffin, is it time to take me to the cemetery for a nap? I tell you seriously, we humans need beds to sleep, and coffin boards are absolutely not good. ”

"It's all about casual shopping!" Shen Qingge turned his head and glared at him: "And I also tell you seriously, I never sleep in a coffin, and I'm not a vampire!" ”

Then you disappeared at night, where did you sleep?

I also said that I was going to see a friend, what kind of friend is it? Isn't it the kind of dead person I imagined?

Xia Beifeng shrunk his neck, but he still didn't dare to ask this.

He carefully observed Shen Qingge's expression, and tentatively withdrew his hand from hers.

Shen Qingge didn't seem to notice anything, and continued to walk on the road with a jump.

He glanced down and couldn't help but gasp.

The wrist was swollen and left with a black mark with five distinct fingers.

When I go back in the evening, I guess I will find some glutinous rice to pull out the poison.

But I wasn't hurt by anything else.,First got hurt by your own people.,It's a bit too unlucky.。

Don't you know what this guy is!

Shen Qingge in front of him didn't seem to feel the resentful eyes of the person behind him at all, still jumping heartlessly, and even hummed with interest.

The two of them walked like this for a while, one after the other.

"There should be a destination for casual shopping, I guess I'm going to get heat stroke if I go on like this."

"It's just a casual stroll." Shen Qingge grabbed a weed and slapped Xia Beifeng's forehead with his hand: "Why are you asking so much!" ”

The jagged blades of grass gently scratched the forehead, and it didn't hurt, leaving only a little itch.

He reached out and touched his forehead, bowed his head depressedly, and continued to follow her.

Even if he said that he was going to walk around casually and there was no specific destination, the route that Shen Qingge walked was obviously purposeful.

She led the summer north wind through the many houses in the village, through the abandoned farmland, and finally stopped next to a well.

"That's it?" Xia Beifeng stopped, touched the sweat on his forehead with a sigh of relief, and went to the wellhead to take a look.

It was an ordinary well, and the edge of the well made of blue stones had become very smooth after being touched by an unknown number of people.

There is a black hole in the well, and it is not clear whether there is water underneath, only a little coolness penetrates from the well, which makes people feel refreshed.

The well was littered with a few pieces of rotten wood that appeared to be brackets, and half a broken bucket.

"Only the water in this well is for drinking, the rest is ...... Well, that's what. Shen Qingge also leaned over, looked down, and said uncertainly: "If you want water, you can only fetch water from here, if there is still water in this well." ”

"It's better to have water."

Xia Beifeng said, took out a flashlight, and shook it around the well.

It's still dark underneath, with no reflections, and it's not clear at all.

He picked up a small stone from the ground and threw it into the well.

There was no sound of a stone falling into the water, nor a sound of a stone falling to the ground, and the stone disappeared silently into the well as if it had been thrown into another world.

"What should I do?" Xia Beifeng turned his head to look at Shen Qingge and asked her for advice: "Do you want to go down and have a look?" ”

"You're going down?"

If I don't go down, will you go down? If you go down, the well that used to have water will become a dry well.

"I'll go down."

Shen Qingge nodded with satisfaction, but stretched out his hand to stop Xia Beifeng's action of preparing to undress: "You wait first, I'll take a look." ”

What else is there to see? Although it is true that you see it better than I do at night, you just said that you don't know if there is water in it!

Xia Beifeng looked curiously at Shen Qingge lying on the edge of the well, waiting to see what tricks she could come up with.

Shen Qingge lay on the edge of the well, almost half of his body stretched into the well, and looked down the well for a while.

At this time, if it suddenly comes out and keeps snakes or something, it will be fun.

Xia Beifeng was thinking nonsense, but saw Shen Qingge put his two hands to his mouth, forming the shape of a horn, and shouted loudly at the well: "Hey! Is there anyone down there, please? ”

Her slightly hoarse cry reached the well, echoing for a long time with a long echo.

Seeing this scene, Xia Beifeng suddenly felt that his jaw was about to drop.

Feelings, do you mean this when you keep saying that you look at it again?

Not to mention that there can't be anyone under the well, even if there are people, will they answer you if you shout like this?

But soon, he thought of another possibility.

Could it be that there is something living under this well, and she wants to say hello to her fellow people below?

It's better not to have.

If there really is an answer from her kind, who wants to feed the water in this well!

It seemed that God had heard Xia Beifeng's heart, and there was no one or anything else in the well to respond to Shen Qingge's shout.

Shen Qingge didn't give up, and shouted a few words at the well, such as "It's okay if you're not alive and dead", "No matter what it is, give me a voice", "If the old immortal doesn't come out again, believe it or not, go and demolish your house", and other unclear but very dangerous speeches after listening to them, he finally gave up the meaningless behavior of "shouting at the well".

"Alright, you better go down." She turned around and said to Xia Beifeng: "If you see a white fish below, remember to tell it, I want to greet its whole family." ”

"White fish?" Xia Beifeng glanced at the wellhead full of doubts, and then at Shen Qingge's expression: "If I guessed correctly, the fish you are talking about...... It's probably not as cumbersome as the whole family. ”

"If you want to say it, you can say it, why do you ask so much!" Shen Qingge raised his leg and kicked in his direction: "If you talk nonsense, I'll kick you down directly!" ”

"Okay, okay, I won't say it, you can hold back."

He wrapped the rope around his waist and climbed down the edge of the well.

The underground is not as dangerous as imagined, it should be said that there is nothing at all. The walls of the well for a long distance near the wellhead are dry, and one can't help but wonder if the well has dried up.

Fortunately, the well was quite cool, and compared to the hot and dead sun outside, even if it was hung by a rope and dangled in the well, it felt much more comfortable.

The dead moss stuck to the wall of the well, and with his movements, large pieces fell off, and fell into the hole of the black hole, without making a sound.

As he went deeper and deeper, there was gradually only a small circle left at the wellhead above his head, and from time to time he could see a black shadow swaying twice around the edge of that circle, probably a probe that Shen Qingge couldn't wait to see.

He didn't know how many meters he had descended, but he finally felt a little wet and damp breath in his hand.

The moss on the wall of the well is finally no longer a dry and empty shell, but a truly alive, moist and soft feel.

It doesn't look like it's completely dry down there, and there may still be water.

Xia Beifeng breathed a sigh of relief, and suddenly had the motivation to continue, and unconsciously accelerated his speed.

By the time he actually touched the water, a long time had passed. There was only a white dot the size of a coin left at the mouth of the well above his head, and even if Shen Qingge looked at it, he couldn't see it clearly.

It was damp and dark, and only his own breathing and heartbeat could be heard.

After being hot for a long time, when I jumped into the water and felt the coolness brought by the cool well water penetrating under my skin. He even felt the urge to cry.

He turned on the flashlight, shone the sparkling well water around him, and searched for the "white fish" that Shen Qingge said.

Even at such a deep depth, the surrounding walls are still narrow, and the flashlight can shine on the moss around the walls.

The dark green moss was stained with a little droplets, reflecting the white flashlight, and the transparent well water illuminated the dark well as if it were day.

He searched around, but he didn't see a second living creature other than himself, and he couldn't help but have a headache.

According to Shen Qingge, since there is water in this well, the fish should not be dead.

But where do you find it if you can't see it here? Do you want to go down and swim down for a while?

What if I can't find it after a while?

This place is so narrow, once something happens, it's not convenient to turn around. What should I do if there are no fish and there is something else?

Besides, I'm looking for a fish!

What a fish! Fish that live in the water!

Who knows how deep this well is and how deep the fish lives!

"Going to a well and finding a fish that I don't know where to hide is probably one of the stupidest things I've ever done in my life, and no one will believe it."

He sighed sadly, took a deep breath, bit the flashlight in his mouth, and plunged headlong into the water.

The water in this well is still quite clear, and the flashlight can shine a long distance underwater.

But I still can't see the bottom.

There are no fish to be seen.

The further you go down, the cooler the water becomes. And just holding this breath can't last long. As a result, he had to keep going up and down, going back and forth to and from the extreme distance he could reach underwater and above the surface.

After a few back and forth, he still didn't see where the fish was, and he finally decided to give up.

Let's go back, I saw the water anyway, and the purpose is halfway there.

As for the fish, that's Shen Qingge's personal vendetta, what does it matter to me?

If I really find it, I have to greet the whole family in person, who knows if it will beat me up in a fit of anger. Just to pass on a word to that guy, I have to be beaten, how worthless!

Thinking so, he raised his hand and tugged on the rope tied around his waist a few times according to the code agreed upon before.

After a while, there were also a few pulls above the rope.

All is calm, come up.

This is the message conveyed by Shen Qingge above.

Xia Beifeng breathed a sigh of relief, grabbed the rope and began to prepare to climb up.

Before leaving the water, he suddenly thought of the stupid thing Shen Qingge had just done by the well, and the ghost sent a shout at the well water under him: "Hey! Is there anyone here...... Ah no, is there any fish here, please! ”

What am I doing, actually doing such a stupid thing like that guy Shen Qingge.

She must have been infected!

His shouts echoed down the well, and the echoes changed their tones back and forth, until they finally became a monotonous "buzz" that shook his ears a little.

He shook his head with a wry smile, and secretly made up his mind that he must stay away from Shen Qingge after going up.

Just then, an old voice sounded in his head.

"Yes! I'm right here! ”
