As soon as Lao Wu looked up, he saw Hu Dazhu taking out a large lump of things from the well, and with an exclamation, Lao Wu also saw that it was a lot of babies tied together with ropes, the small arms and legs were just full moon, and the dead baby's skin was dark and black, and there was a layer of frost on it, and the back was numb when he saw it.

Hu Dawei had already jumped and ran away, hiding to the side and looking at the young man, and suddenly pointed at him and scolded, "Okay, you! You've killed so many children! I want to arrest you and send you to the official, do you believe it? Hurry up and give me some money, I'll let you go, hurry up and get the money! ”

The young man snorted lightly and ignored him, walked over lightly to untie the rope, dragged his feet to lift a dead baby and put it in front of Lao Wu, and used the frightened hands and feet of Lao Wu who had just recovered to retreat.

"Not? Brothers? What does this mean? Lao Wu asked him in a cold sweat and hid far away. The young man squinted his eyes and said, "This is what the blind man wants you to buy, of course not all of you wait for me." After speaking, he took out a small scimitar with a hook on the front from his waist, cut the baby's frozen skin in front of Lao Wu, cut out two small kneecaps, wrapped them in straw paper and tied them with hemp rope and handed them to Lao Wu.

Old Wu Zhanzhan sighed at the paper bag, and it seemed that he could still touch the baby's cold kneecaps inside, swallowed his saliva and asked, "This, what is this?" We didn't ask for this, did we? Am you mistaken? ”

The young man squatted down and grabbed the dead baby, threw it into the well with his backhand like garbage, turned his face dark, and with that strange smile, he walked over and squatted in front of Lao Wu and said with a smile: "These are the kneecaps of the imp in hell, that is, the membranous bones you want, I will go to the house and pack the other medicinal materials, you can just come and get them later." ”

Hu Dafang waited for the young man to leave before he came over and said, "Hey, I said Lao Wu!" Look at those dead ghosts, how can they still be used as medicinal herbs? It's so, hey, are you saying it's a lie, a cheat on our money? ”

Xiao Qi also said: "Yes, big brother, I don't think it's right, how can I use a dead child as medicine." ”

While they were talking, Wen Shenglian slowly gathered by the well, but before he could get closer, he felt that the cold air at the well in front of him was pressing, as biting as the cold wind in winter, and it was really like the young man said that it went straight to the underworld. But he didn't believe it, so he stood at a distance and picked up a stone of a suitable size and threw it into the well, and then quickly pricked up his ears and listened to the movement.

Hu Dawei was talking to Lao Wu, and when he turned his head and saw Wen Shenglian's strange behavior, he shouted: "Hey! Why? Didn't you hear the guy just say where it leads down there? Don't be afraid that the imp will come out of the well and catch you! Wen Sheng turned his face sideways and made a silent gesture to him, and the other ear heard the sound of stones falling to the bottom of the well.

Wen Shenglian seemed to suddenly understand something, and ran back to Lao Wu with the thief's characteristic smile, and whispered with a strange smile: "Don't listen to that person's fooling, what hellish ghost, that well is actually a cold spring." ”

In ancient times, there were many ways to make ice in summer, the most common was to take ice from the frozen river in winter, cover it with straw mats and quilts, and hide it deep in the cellar, which is also called an ice cellar. Wait until summer to remove ice cubes from the ice cellar and use them to make cold drinks.

Although it is true that the ice cellar can store ice cubes in the winter and then take them out for use in the summer, they always rely on constant temperature to preserve, and when it is time to take them out and use them, the ice cubes will consume more than two-thirds. Only the royal family can excavate a huge ice cellar and leave a lot of ice cubes for summer use, and ordinary people don't think about it.

But when someone was digging a well in their own house before, it was not who dug it out, but there was a chill of cold air. At that time, I didn't understand the principle of this, so I said that I happened to dig into the precious cold vein hole underground and changed it into an ice cellar, which is a natural refrigerator. In ancient times, if there was such a cold well in the yard of someone's house, the bucket full of water was tied with a rope and hung in the well, and it would freeze into an ice lump after a while, so that there would be no worry about using ice in the summer, and it could be sold on the street, and it was still an ice well that could make money.

But in fact, this kind of ice well is not a cold leyline, but a cold spring phenomenon. The cold air contained in the huge space underground is pushed out of the crevices and caves in the ground by the external air pressure, and the cold air is accumulated, and the cold air will condense through the narrow and damp wellhead, and produce an extremely cold effect, which can freeze water and food for future use.

Wen Sheng even had wandered in the outside world in the early years, this kind of strange things in the ravine in the old times were not uncommon in the outside world at all, people are all scientific, and they can give a reasonable and well-founded explanation, and naturally they will not superstitious things like feng shui and earth veins, gods and ghosts, and the people's wisdom has also been improved. He could see that the well behind the young man's house was this kind of cold spring, and it was just nonsense to say that it was going to hell or something, and those little ghosts were just babies who had not grown into premature deaths, so he probably wanted to deceive people and increase money, so he told Lao Wu everything he knew.

Hu Dabao scolded angrily after hearing this: "That dead boy still dares to fool you Hu Ye, see if I don't pull out his front teeth, let him pretend to be an old man to scare people!" ”

Lao Wu heard Wen Shenglian say this and felt that it made sense, Leng Quan himself had heard of it, and recalled the cold and piercing feeling just now, so he said: "We just came to buy medicinal herbs and go back to save that child's life, and we will talk about other things later!" ”

But Hu Dawei didn't think so, so he bared his teeth and smiled and said: "Old Wu Qi'er, you see that dead boy is alone, why don't we just take things and leave, and don't give him the money, what can he do with us?" ‘

Lao Wu touched his eyes and tightened after hearing this, but then he was deflated and said: "It's not easy to live these days, and people don't have anything difficult for us, besides, we are not robbers, we naturally have to give money to buy things, and people also know that it was Jiang Blind who asked us to buy medicine, so we can't pit that guy, right?" Oh yes, and "

"That's it! Oh my god! I'm ruining your hands! Give money, give money! You're like an old, I can make you babble to death! Hu Da threw his arms and raised his buttocks and left.

Xiao Qi could only help Lao Wu up, go to the house to pay the money and get the medicine, and then follow the path when he came back to the blind man.

The brothers were sitting at the door smoking, and the courtyard was littered with cigarette butts thrown by them, and when they saw that Lao Wu and a few people were back, the fifth brother hurriedly went up to take over the things Wensheng and entered the house together, and the fourth brother sat on the side smoking and ignored it.

Lao Wu knew that he was angry, so he walked over and turned his face to look at him without speaking, and finally looked at the fourth child, and the fourth child took out a cigarette and threw it over.

Lao Wu took the cigarette and didn't light the fire, so he put it to his mouth, reached out and took out a dozen tickets from his arms and threw them to the fourth child, and said with a smile: "Look at you like that, this is the rest of the money for you to keep, okay?" ”

As soon as the fourth child saw that he had money, his mouth cracked, and he quickly put the money in his pocket, and he seemed to be smiling like a two-skinned face, and he wanted to light a cigarette with Lao Wu. Lao Wu teased him, hiding left and right to prevent him from lighting it, just when the two were still crazy, the fourth child suddenly stopped his hand, first looked behind Lao Wu, and then asked strangely: "Hey?" What about Qi'er? ”
