Isn't the implication of sealing the well to lock the old lady in the well? Now he's standing not far from me!!

Sure enough, it still failed!! Our judgment was wrong, so the old ghost's sealing method did not work, and the old lady in the basket was not a ghost!

The old ghost hurriedly turned his head when he heard my exclamation, and when he saw the old lady, he was also stunned, and I shouted loudly:

"Uncle ghost, is it a busy day in vain, why is this old lady standing outside alive?"

The old ghost also felt helpless, and replied in a low voice:

"Wrong, wrong, this evil is really not the woman who jumped into the well!"

I cautiously stepped back and asked:

"So what now?"

The old ghost's eyes narrowed into a line, and he replied indignantly:

"She's either a ghost or a spirit, she's already hurt, don't be afraid of her."

The old lady stood in front of us and just looked at us and giggled, and had no intention of coming forward to look for trouble, and the old ghost whispered to me:

"It's not far from the road out of the village, retreat slowly, if she dares to come up, I'll abolish her!"

The old ghost's words didn't encourage me at all, but made me feel ridiculous, if I could really abolish her, wouldn't I have done it a long time ago?

The two of us retreated all the way, and finally exited the village in fear, and walked down the long dark road with a sigh of relief.

It's really terrifying to think back to the scene just now, although the old lady has not stood still, but her weird smile is deeply imprinted in my mind, and the smile is full of playfulness, as if she is laughing at our ignorance and laughing at our intelligence!

But isn't it, the old ghost is in a hurry for quick success, and he acted rashly before he figured out the situation, fortunately the old lady was injured, otherwise it would be really difficult for the two of us to get out.

There was no car at night, and I walked all the way back with the old ghost, and the old ghost kept frowning on the road and refused to mention the embarrassment tonight.

Seeing that he didn't mean to discuss, I naturally wouldn't give him an ugly look, and after a lot of trouble, it turned out that it was useless, and it was really embarrassing to say it.

The two of us walked side by side with our heads bowed, and after a few miles, the old ghost couldn't help but communicate with me, as if talking to himself.

"Hundreds of years old wells, and there are people jumping into the well, how can they not be ghosts?"

Seeing that the old ghost was willing to speak, I answered:

"Yes, Uncle Ghost, it's not a ghost, what is that, didn't you even know what it was when you sealed the well?"

The old ghost shook his head thoughtfully.

"I was too young back then, and I sealed the well under the guidance of Mr. He, and I didn't know what she was, I thought it was a ghost!"

"It's not a ghost, it's a spirit."

The old ghost snorted and shook his head.

"I can't see that no matter what it is, this line is a bit high!"

The look on the old ghost when he said this was not admiration, but worry, deep worry, this day's useless tossing, made him finally realize the ability of the old lady in this basket.

"I can't, young man!"

Finally, the old ghost said this.

I was stunned when I heard this, looked at the old ghost in surprise and asked:

"Uncle ghost, what are you talking about, why are you discouraged after failing once?"

The old ghost sighed helplessly, and his proud face showed a trace of helplessness.

"I've fought with this evil many times, and I still can't guess what she is, which largely shows that I can't accept her."

"Uncle Ghost..."

I had the heart to comfort him, but I didn't know what to say, although the old ghost became famous at a young age, he still fell two times in a row in front of this old lady in the basket.

Although the old ghost did not play a decisive role, he saved my life several times and helped me a lot in many key turns, so I am still grateful to the old ghost.

The road is far away, and the old ghost may be depressed and never speak again. My legs are soft, and the soles of my shoes are almost worn out, but on the other hand, the old ghost is still calm step by step, the old ghost is not in good health, he is angry again, and he is angry with himself.

This defeat is a heavy blow to us, the old ghost didn't tell me beforehand, he can't do it again in a short period of time for his rash action.

In other words, this failure made us miss the perfect opportunity for the old lady to be seriously injured and seal the well!

It was already dawn when I walked into the city, I took a taxi to send the old ghost back to the hotel, and then went back to the company dormitory to sleep with my head covered.

In the next few days, Lao Wu took the initiative to find me many times, saying that the old ghost had been sullen like a different person since he went back last time, and every day he either looked through the old black book or stared at the roof of the shed in a daze.

I know that this defeat is a big blow to the old ghost, so I only advise Lao Wu not to bother him too much and let the old ghost settle down on his own.

After recuperation in recent days, Lao Tang's health has improved a lot, and he is about to turn himself in.

Lao Wu and I naturally supported him to turn himself in, I don't know how many years he will be locked up, I bought a table of wine and food with Lao Wu in the evening, and gave Lao Tang a final farewell.

At the wine table, Lao Tang burst into tears, and was very remorseful for jumping out of the car and running away and hiding and evading responsibility.

The road is all walked by himself, and now that he has fallen into this field, Lao Wu and I can only drink vigorously except to let him see the point, and there is no other way.

Tonight we didn't drink less, the three of us drank a whole case of 24 bottles of stick beer, Lao Wu and Lao Tang's tongues were drunk, hugging each other sometimes crying, sometimes singing.

Although I didn't drink less, I still understood it in my head, lying on the table and staring at the pot in front of me.

The old lady in the basket is not a ghost, so what is she? These days, all my energy is focused on it!

Thinking about it carefully, the old lady is not a ghost, it should be reasonable, on the one hand, the woman who jumped into the well back then is not very old, and it does not match the old lady. There is also a more important aspect is that Xu Banxian'er told me that there was only one ghost among the people I had seen at that time, and later it was determined that the ghost was the sixth uncle, so in this way, the old lady in the basket must not be a ghost!!

I breathed a sigh of relief, and now I reasoned that she wasn't a ghost, but unfortunately it was a little late.

I continued to think about this train of thought, thought slowly, put what I experienced and what others said, and thought about it together, and I suddenly slapped the table and suddenly realized!!

Everything is logical, I know what this old lady is!!

Lao Tang and Lao Wu were hugging and crying, and they were startled by the sound of me slapping the table, and after scolding, they hugged each other again.

I woke up in an instant!!

When I was about to sneak into the old lady's house, I went to ask for help, and Tang Yao gave me a packet of snake scale powder for me to drink.

Why can't the old lady notice me after drinking the snake scale powder?

Also, I found the old lady boiling a pot of toads in the kitchen, and when I came out of the water tank, I found that the pot of toads had been eaten by her, but there were no bones around!! This shows that she is devouring!!

I felt the vein, and asked Old Tang excitedly:

"Old Tang, old Wu, don't hug you two first, I'll ask you something!"

Old Tang wiped a handful of tears and said:

"I'm going to turn myself in at dawn, so I can ask why."

"What kind of alcohol did you drink with Zhao Longfei before driving ten years ago?"

When Old Tang heard this question, he was suddenly disappointed, looked up and thought about it and said:

"Beer to drink." After saying that, he pondered it carefully and added:

"Oh, the main beer he drank, and he drank some white one, uh, and he also drank a cup of realgar wine he brought from a relative's house, but they all said that it was poisonous, so he didn't dare to drink more, what's wrong?"

That's right!!!

That's right!!

In several car accidents, only Lao Tang was able to jump out of the car and escape soberly, indeed because Lao Tang drank alcohol before driving, and he drank realgar wine!

Snakes are afraid of realgar, combined with the above snake scale powder, devouring toads two points, I know what this old lady in the basket is!

She's more of a snake!!

In this way, the great calamity must have been known, and knowing that the old lady was the same as it, and that it gave me snake scale powder was enough to explain everything.

After figuring this out, I instantly felt that my eyes suddenly brightened, but unfortunately I was a step too late, and I didn't figure it out before the old ghost went to seal the well!

Old Tang and Wu looked excited when they saw me, their eyes lit up, they looked at each other puzzledly, and asked me what nerves I had.

I leaned forward and said earnestly:

"Snake!"

"Snakes?"

"Old Tang, Old Wu, the old lady in the vegetable basket who appeared before the car accident is indeed evil and a snake!"

I'm most afraid that the atmosphere will suddenly condense!!

I shouldn't have made this important discovery at the table where they both drank too much.

As soon as I said this, Old Tang breathed a sigh of relief helplessly.

"Brother, do you think you have a good way to reduce my brother's sentence, snake, hehe, what is this evil now, what does it have to do with me?"

For Lao Tang, this matter really has no meaning, but Lao Wu knows everything, he should know the seriousness of the matter, but his eyes are straight, and he can't even understand the words, he swayed around and asked me vaguely:

"Who's the snake?"

"The old lady in the basket!"

"What's wrong with the old lady in the basket?

"She's a snake!"

Lao Wu nodded suddenly and said with a smile: "Ah, so that's the case, the basket is a snake, didn't the old lady find out that she was carrying a snake every day?" ”

..................

I was speechless after all.

Old Tang waved his hand and said:

"Speaking of snakes, I'll tell you an interesting story! You two.... Ahh Do you want to hear it? ”

Seeing their drunken appearance, my head hurt, and I was about to stand up and go to the old ghost to explain my findings, but Old Tang came up and grabbed me and said:

"What are you doing? Don't you like to hear the legend of the snake? I'll tell you a story about what my fellow villagers told me when I hid in the mountains. ”

Old Tang was paranoid and didn't let go, so I had to sit down and listen to his story patiently.

"Hiccup....." Old Tang was just about to open his mouth to speak, and he couldn't help but burp.

I quickly waved my hand to dissipate the smell of hiccups from mixed food and alcohol.

"The fellow said, a long time ago, there was a woman who saved a snake, and the snake went around the master's house all day long, spinning and turning, turning and turning, and turning and turning, and turning and turning....."

I listened very impatiently, Old Tang drank like this I had never seen before, I didn't want to waste time with them here anymore and got up just about to leave, Old Tang continued:

"One day, the woman who saved the snake gave birth to a fat boy, and that fat boy was born with cerebral palsy, and he couldn't walk until he was five years old! The hostess just.... Hiccup...."

I listened to this story a little familiar, and instantly became nervous, and said:

"Don't burp, don't burp, go on!"

Old Don gave me a blank look and continued to preach:

"The hostess didn't treat her family anymore, saying that she was useless, she gave birth to a waste, and was beaten and scolded by her parents-in-law every day, and she didn't give her food, and later, the snake that saved her life gave her a dream, saying that she would wait, and it went out to find medicine for the child."

Not only me, but even Lao Wu was stunned when he heard this, yes, this is the story of the ancient well of Tiger Waist Mountain, but I haven't heard of this snake.

Lao Wu asked anxiously:

"And then?"

"Later, when the snake came back, the woman couldn't stand the torture anymore and jumped into the well with the child."

I glanced at Lao Wu, and the surprise was written on my face, and I asked Lao Tang:

"Who told you this story, how could the storyteller know so much detail?"

Lao Tang picked up the wine glass and wanted to drink, but this time it was Lao Wu who stopped him and said:

"Li Yao asked you, who did you listen to, why do you know so much?"

Lao Tang saw that Lao Wu was also quite concerned, and he breathed a sigh of relief.

"The person who told me about this was an eighty-year-old man, his daughter-in-law had a very good relationship with the woman who saved the snake at that time, she was a best friend who talked about everything, and it was the woman who told her daughter-in-law herself, at first his daughter-in-law didn't believe it, but when the woman jumped into the well with the child

How long did it take for the snake to come back!! ”

I see, I hurriedly asked:

"Did the woman give birth to a child with cerebral palsy, many villagers laughed at her."

Old Tang nodded.

"A lot, if you think about the big countryside a few decades ago, at that time the thinking was still very feudal, and whoever gave birth to a son was envious, jealous and hateful, and then the son became cerebral palsy again, and those who were jealous and envious would inevitably be ridiculed."

I see, since then, the identity and motive of the old lady are all together, this is a line about repayment and revenge.

I finally confirmed:

"Did the old man tell you this story where it happened? Isn't it Tiger Waist Mountain? ”

Old Tang was stunned when he heard this, and then waved his hand and said:

"Tiger Waist Mountain? The old man did move over later, but this story is definitely not in Huyi Mountain, I asked him, and he said that the place is called Liujia Village. ”

I sighed in my heart:

"That's right! When Tang Yao told me about the legend of the ancient well, he said that Huyin Mountain was called Liujia Village at that time! ”
