Wu Liangxin had already smelled the fragrance of the melon, and was salivating, but he was not polite, so he took it and wiped it on his body, "click" and "click" to eat. While eating, he praised: "This melon is so good, fragrant and sweet." This is the first time I have eaten such a good melon this summer. ”

Qi Xiaoting said in her heart: That is, this is planted in the soil of the gods, and there is also aura, and it is your creation that meets tonight. He said, "Then you can eat more, I still have a lot of them in my basket." ”

Wu Liangxin: "Bought it?" ”

Qi Xiaoting was a little dizzy by him, and thought: If I say I bought it, he must not be able to eat it steadily. Then he said, "I planted it myself, sold some of it, and brought it back to eat it myself." ”

After eating the melon, Wu Liangxin probably wanted to return the favor, untied his backpack and took out two cornmeal nests, handed one to Qi Xiaoting, and said: "It's half a night, the melons don't quench your hunger, eat a nest, and you're in a hurry." ”

Qi Xiaoting rushed to the road in the middle of the night, and her stomach really felt a little empty. A few days ago, when she was on the night road, she picked a piece of clothing and took a bag of dates or took a nest to bring out, and when she was hungry, she ate while walking.

Today, because she bought a basket, she wanted to exercise again, so she only packed a few melons on her back. And because I was in a hurry, I forgot to eat.

Seeing Wu Liangxin's gift, he said in his heart: Eat it, and then take it in the space and have to alarm the two people. It's a big deal to give him two more melons to make up for when you break up. So he took the head of the nest and ate it in large bites.

After eating, they had enough rest, and the two of them walked all the way, talking and laughing, and there was a very friendly atmosphere.

"Good brother, I'm thirsty, let's find a place to drink water, okay?"

When he was about to walk to the village, Wu Liangxin suggested.

"Then you can eat another melon." Qi Xiaoting said, about to put down the back basket and take the melon.

Wu Liangxin hurriedly stopped: "No, your melon is sweet and doesn't quench your thirst." ”

That's true. Watermelon and melon, although both have water, still feel thirsty after eating.

This time, Qi Xiaoting was embarrassed: she told him that she was from the village in front of her, and now when she arrives at the edge of the village, he wants to drink water again, how can this be good?

"It's the dead of night, and the family is asleep. So, let's find a pit and have a drink. Qi Xiaoting had no choice but to refuse politely.

Wu Liangxin: "Hey, how can I drink the water in the pond?" Washing clothes and bathing at the same time, it's too unclean. I know there is an earthen well in the south of your village, and everyone in your village eats it, so let's go over and drink something. With that, he turned in the other direction.

Qi Xiaoting was afraid of being exposed as a lie, so she didn't dare to ask, so she had to follow sullenly.

Sure enough, the doi was on the edge of the village, and there were no tools to draw water on it. Wu Liangxin took a picture with a fire sickle and found that there was a step in the place where one person came to a deep place, which was used by people to carry water when the water level was dropping. At this point, you can hold water by squatting on it.

"That's it," Wu Liangxin put away the fire sickle, looked at Qi Xiaoting who was standing on the side, and said, "Let's drink instead." I'll tie a rope around your waist and bring you down, and I'll pull you up when you've had enough. Then I'll go down again. ”

"This ...... Will it work? Qi Xiaoting looked at the wellhead of the black hole and hesitated.

"Why not!" Wu Liangxin said in a firm tone: "We are both big men, and we can't drag each other?" Besides, when you come up, you can still kick the wall of the well, and it doesn't take much effort. What's more, with a rope tied to his waist, he can't get out of trouble. ”

When she arrived at the edge of the village but didn't let her family drink saliva, Qi Xiaoting was already short, but when she saw him say this, she had to climb up the pole.

"I'll take you down first, it doesn't matter if I drink it or not, I'm going to get home." Qi Xiaoting said.

Wu Liangxin waved his hand: "At the edge of your village, you know the situation in the well, and then tell me more specifically when you come up, and I have a good mental preparation." ”

Qi Xiaoting first came to sort out the shortcomings, and secondly, she also wanted to end this game of lies as soon as possible, so that Wu Liangxin could leave quickly. The other was that she was really feeling a little thirsty, so she nodded in agreement.

Wu Liangxin took out a rope from his baggage, tied it around Qi Xiaoting's waist, and took Qi Xiaoting down the well. When she got to the steps of the well, Wu Liangxin threw the rope into the well, picked up Qi Xiaoting's back basket and ran.

It turned out that Wu Liangxin was not a good thing, and he was used to being abducted and deceived in the village. I heard that Qi Xiaoting came back from selling melons, and guessed that she must have money in the basket. Only then did he set a trap to deflect her to the bottom of the well, so that he could take her things and leave.

It wasn't until this time that Qi Xiaoting knew that she had been deceived and secretly scolded herself for being confused: in her previous life, her parents often told her not to talk to strangers. How did you come to this world and make friends with strangers!

Qi Xiaoting's regretful intestines were blue.

The steps are more than one person high from the mouth of the well, and the people below are standing, and the people above are lying on their stomachs, and they can start, but one person can never go up.

Qi Xiaoting shouted a few times, but no one answered. Flashed into the space, in the middle of the night, Long Yi must have asked what was going on. This kind of mentally retarded and deceived thing, Qi Xiaoting really doesn't plan to let him know.

Just sit and be afraid of dozing off and falling into the well. In desperation, he sat on the steps of the well and practiced the sacrificial technique. I want to wait until tomorrow morning when someone comes to carry water.

As I was practicing, I suddenly heard a strange wind blowing above, and then I heard a sound. I was busy with the drill and listened quietly to the movement.

Suddenly, I heard a voice like a broken gong saying, "There is a human smell here." As soon as the words fell, a shrill voice came: "Well, it's really there, let's look for it." ”

Human?

Qi Xiaoting was excited: Demons and monsters are called human beings, could it be that there are monsters above? Listening to the sound is not small, and he is in a disadvantageous position in the well, don't let the monster find out. In order to be safe, Qi Xiaoting hurriedly recited a spell to make the mask skyrocket and wrap herself.

"Well, suddenly it's gone." He said in a voice like a broken gong.

"But no, it's true, how can you say that there is no more?" A shrill voice said.

Broken Gong voice: "It must have been someone passing by on the road just now, and you can't hear it from a distance." ”

Shrill voice: "Possibly." Such a bitter well, who came here in the middle of the night to carry water! ”

Bitter wells? Didn't Wu Liangxin say that everyone in a village eats the water in this well, how can it be a bitter well? Could it be that this Wu Liangxin also deceived himself. Under the cover of the quilt, Qi Xiaoting tasted a little water in the palm of her hand, and sure enough, her bitter tongue was astringent. scolded Wu Liangxin again in his heart.

I only heard the sound of the broken gong and said: "That's it, I said that human beings are stupid, go a hundred steps southwest from this well, and dig a well there, and the water level is shallow and sweet, much stronger than this well." Stupid people, but they are stubbornly guarding such a bitter well. ”

Shrill voice: "They are all mortals, how can they know these mysteries." In the future, if you say these words, really pay attention to the environment, don't let them listen to it, go and dig a sweet water well, wouldn't we leak the heavenly secret. ”

Broken Gong voice: "Now there is no human taste, it doesn't matter what you say." Hey, didn't you say you had a secret to tell me? While there is no one here, let's talk about it quickly. ”

Shrill voice: "That's right, the daughter of the old rich man Li in Lijia Village in the north has a strange disease and is covered with sores. I invited many famous doctors, but no one could cure this disease.

"The old rich man Li only had this daughter for half a hundred years, and he became a big beauty again, and the baby is not good. A notice was posted saying that whoever could cure his daughter's illness would be rewarded with twenty taels of silver, and that he would be recruited as an east bed.

"I wanted to go and unveil the list, but unfortunately my Taoism is not deep enough to transform into a human form. We're old friends, so I'll ask you out and tell you alone. ”

Broken Gong voice: "Could it be that my brother has a cure for his illness?" ”

Shrill voice: "That's nature. There is a family in this village, and there is a fish pond in his yard, and there is a plane tree by the pond, and there is a big white goose under the tree. Cut off a piece of bark on the sunny side of the plane tree, then dry and grind it with the shade tile behind the ridge, and mix it with the blood on the head of the big white goose. ”

Broken Gong voice: "It's really a good thing, you can get money and a woman." I can transform into a human, but only at night, and as soon as the sun comes out, it changes back again. That's it, brother, don't tell other demons about this, I'll step up my cultivation, and I will succeed in less than a month.

"After I can stabilize my human form during the day, I will use the home remedies you said to dispense medicine and heal, and marry a beautiful lady to be the lady of the village."

Shrill voice: "Big brother, don't worry, you saved me, and I will protect you from this secret." As I told you tonight, only God knows that you know and I know, and no third party will know. You can rest assured that you can cultivate. The young lady's illness was a skin disease, and although it was painful, it did not lead to death. You will cultivate for a month, and May will still be yours. ”

Broken Gong voice: "A word is a certainty." I will thank you very much when it is done. ”

With that, the two monsters left the platform.

Qi Xiaoting was under the well and listened to the monster's words clearly. I remembered that Jiaona robbed other people's smoked chickens to eat, and sold two baskets of watermelons to settle the account. To expect to earn twenty taels of silver by selling watermelons, it takes a lot of effort.

With ambergris herbal water on his body, even if he is not too biased, he can cure the girl's illness. But art is not oppressive, and mastering one more home remedy is a good thing after all. If it doesn't work, it will be a two-pronged approach, and it will definitely cure the girl. Twenty taels of silver cost her half of the silver, and also quenched her hunger and thirst. What's more, this is still the virtue of saving lives and helping the wounded, accumulating virtue and doing good.

Thinking about it in my heart, I kept in mind the old rich man Li of Lijia Village and the home remedies.

The next morning, an old man came to the well to carry water, and found Qi Xiaoting on the second platform of the well, so he found someone to rescue her.

In order to thank people for saving their lives, as soon as Qi Xiaoting came up, she said to the old man who saved her: "Uncle, the water in this well in your village is too undrinkable, and the throat is bitter, why don't you dig a good well?" ”

The old man said, "The water is undrinkable, but we have dug many wells, but none of them have come out." There was no way, so the whole village had to eat the water from this well. ”

Qi Xiaoting: "Take a hundred steps southwest from this well, where you can make a good sweet well, and the water level is still very shallow." ”

The old man said half-incredulously, "Are you right?" ”

"Accurate!" Qi Xiaoting said very simply.

The old man thought to himself: Looking at this young man's kind and kind face, it will not be a lie. What's the harm in trying. summoned the people in the village, let Qi Xiaoting give a position, and began to fight.

In less than a day's work, I saw water. I hit it up and tasted it, and it was very sweet. The villagers were very grateful and wanted to set up a banquet to entertain Qi Xiaoting.

Qi Xiaoting thought to herself: There must be a lot of people at the banquet, and she can't eat it with a mask, so she takes it off, and she is afraid that she will be seen sending a letter to Lifu. Falsely claiming to eat fasting, all you need to do is cook a pot of millet porridge. The villagers had no choice but to make a pot of fragrant millet porridge and a few vegetarian dishes.

During the meal, the old man wanted to accompany her, and she lied that she was not used to eating with outsiders. The old man thought that she had a disability on her mouth or nose, and he didn't want people to see the mask she was wearing, so he followed her wishes.

The banquet was not set up, and the meal was very simple, so people didn't care, so they sent her a lot of gifts.

Qi Xiaoting said to the villagers: "I have received everyone's wishes, and I will not accept anything, I just ask everyone to do me a favor." ”

"Sir, please say something, don't say one, we'll help out of ten or eight." A villager said.

Qi Xiaoting: "Is there a family surnamed house in your village, there is a fish pond in his home, there is a plane tree by the pond, and there is a big white goose under the tree?" ”
