I stood in the middle of the wheat field in a daze, looking at my grandfather, who was as tall as a giant in the cold wind, and I whispered to my grandfather, who looked back at me and said, "Your grandmother is no longer there, and I miss her too." ”

After that, my grandfather didn't speak, and it wasn't until a long time that he asked me if I remembered last night's dream, I nodded, and told my grandfather what I saw in my dream last night, but I didn't say that I saw Wu Zhenren in the end. My grandfather was still not surprised by my words, and he led me to the old well, and by the time we arrived, a group of policemen had already gathered around the old well.

Liu Quan walked up to him and shook his head at his grandfather.

Grandpa frowned and asked, "Not a single corpse?" ”

Liu Quan said with certainty: "It's all fished, no." ”

Grandpa looked at me and didn't ask me anything, I don't know if grandpa believed what I said, but I was suddenly scared, because this thing was a little weird, when I told my grandfather about my dream last night, grandpa didn't call the police at all, moreover, from my family's wheat field to the old well at the head of the village is only less than 500 meters away, and I walked to the old well in a few minutes, why would those policemen go to the well in advance to fish for corpses like they knew that there would be dead people in the old well?

When Liu Quan walked towards me and my grandfather, he was not asking me at all, but asking my grandfather, could my grandfather not only know that the scalpers would come to pick me up at night, but also know that there would be dead people in the old well?

Thinking of my mother's sadness when I first woke up, I pouted and said to my grandfather, "Grandpa, the scalpers come to me again, I don't want to go." ”

Grandpa nodded, and he said, "The scalpers won't come again." ”

Grandpa said for sure, then the scalper will definitely not come again, and the powerful grandpa always makes me feel at ease at all times.

In fact, the scalper didn't come to me at night, and I didn't see it again for years afterward.

The old well in Wangjia Village has had accidents one after another, first there is yellow soup in the well, and then the coffin is pulled out by the iron chain, and now people are drowned, no one dares to drink the water in the well in Wangjia Village, no one dares to drink the water in the well, the villagers know that the grandfather has done his best for the water, if there is no water to drink, the people of Wangjia Village will definitely move away year by year, and then our thousand-year-old village will really become a ghost village in the mouth of outsiders. In desperation, the village chief summoned the villagers, paid some money from door to door, and asked Wu Zhenren to go to the back mountain to ask Wu Zhenren to point a hole in Wangjia Village and find a living spring to dig a new well.

When everyone arrived at the Taiyin Temple in the back mountain, Wu Zhenren was basking in the sun in front of the Taoist Temple, he sat on an old bamboo chair, looking old, looking a little desolate, before the village chief spoke, Wu Zhenren said: "You go back, the new well can not be dug, if it can be dug, the old Guan Master will help you dig when he is alive." ”

The village chief saw that Wu Zhenren actually knew their intentions, but he didn't think that he would be rejected before he could open his mouth, and he didn't know what to say for a while.

Someone in the villagers behind him said: "Wu Zhenren, Wangjia Village relied on an old well for a hundred years of drought, and now the old well has been destroyed, and no one dares to drink the water anymore. ”

"Yes, Wu Zhenren, our village is poor, and we can't take out anything decent to honor your old man, but our group of people are all grown up by you, do you just watch everyone die of thirst, this world is not like you can move out if you want to move, you will be driven back by the public in two days if you can't settle down, and the town doesn't give water to our village, just buying water to drink a year's crops is equivalent to a white seed, your old man save us!"

After the man finished speaking, he knelt down and kowtowed to Wu Zhenren, and the rest of the people also knelt down, and the village chief knelt in front of Wu Zhenren with the incense money collected from the villagers, and the village chief said: "Wu Zhenren, I failed to protect you and your eldest apprentice back then, and let your old man be wronged, we are incompetent, if your old man is still angry, how to punish us, but for the sake of our Wangjia Village's worship of Taiyin for generations, you can be merciful and help us!" ”

Wu Zhenren watched the villagers of Wangjia Village kneel together, after all, he couldn't bear it, he sighed and said: "It's not that I don't want to dig a new well for you, but this new well can't be dug at all, once it is dug, it will destroy the water pattern of Wangjia Village, and I can't estimate the consequences." I don't say this alarmist, because I don't know who has been killed in the underground of Wangjia Village, and the array is in the place where there is water. ”

The villagers of Wangjia Village raised their heads, they couldn't understand what Wu Zhenren was talking about, Wu Zhenren waved his hand and said: "That's it, it's a blessing or a curse, it's a disaster that can't be avoided, after waiting for more than a hundred years, it's time to end, you can take this incense money back and ask someone to dig a well, and I'll do it." ”

Wu Zhenren said and turned around and entered the Taoist temple, everyone had to wait at the door of the Taoist temple, after a while, Wu Zhenren put on a clean Taoist robe and came out with us, he was holding a boxy thing in his hand, it was a translucent crystal, in this crystal, there was a lifelike little red fish swimming around, but I don't know what this thing is for.

Wu Zhenren walked to Wangjia Village with the villagers of Wangjia Village, when he came, the village chief had already prepared a donkey cart, Wu Zhenren did not sit, he had to walk over, when he arrived at the back of the village, Wu Zhenren suddenly stopped, he looked around, especially when he looked at the last family at the back of the village, his brows were furrowed.

"Wu Zhenren, is something wrong?" The village chief asked cautiously.

Wu Zhenren did not answer the village chief's question, but pointed to the family in the distance and said, "Who lives in that family?" ”

The village chief said: "Back to Wu Zhenren, the children in the village call her Mrs. Meng, who used to be the midwife of our village, and her man was the doctor of our village's medicine prescription in the past. ”

Wu Zhenren nodded and said, "Oh, it's that girl, her life is quite long, and now she should have a great-grandson." ”

The village chief's face was a little ugly, if someone asked him, he would definitely not tell the truth, but in front of him was Wu Zhenren, so he didn't have to hide it, he lowered his voice and said: "Wu Zhenren, thirty years ago, you and your eldest apprentice went to Taiwan because of the Cultural Revolution, ten years later, the Cultural Revolution ended, and her family hanged that night, a family of five, four hanged, neatly hung on the beams of the house, from Dr. Wang, to his son, daughter-in-law, grandson, Mrs. Wang went back to her parents' house that day, and when she came back the next day, she saw that the family was hanged, and she went crazy. ”

"Dead?" Wu Zhenren was also a little surprised when he heard this, but he didn't ask in detail.

After a pause, Wu Zhenren asked again: "Then there are any children in your village who have been seriously ill recently?" ”

Everyone shook their heads, no one heard that a child in Wangjia Village was seriously ill.

"I heard that Secretary Wang's grandson had a high fever overnight yesterday, and the child's mother's eyes were swollen from crying." One said.

"It's okay anymore, I saw him playing with the old Qi family's tiger at the door of the house early in the morning." Another said.

Wu Zhenren sighed and said, "I'm afraid that there are children in your village who are going to die, and they have been staring at it recently." ”

As soon as Wu Zhenren said this, one of the villagers in Wangjia Village was dumbfounded, and he said with a sad face: "Wu Zhenren, our daughter-in-law will give birth to a baby in a few days, and your old man will see if our baby can't be born!" ”

Wu Zhenren glanced at the man and said with a smile: "A face full of grandchildren, you are prenatal depression!" ”

Everyone laughed, and then a group of people followed Wu Zhenren to the wheat field on the outskirts of the village.

Wu Zhenren didn't know where to take out the three paper cranes, he put the three paper cranes in the palm of his hand, and gently blew on them, the paper cranes first fluttered their wings gently, and then flew up in the surprised eyes of everyone, very smart.

The three paper cranes flew in different directions, and after flying for about twenty or thirty meters, one of them suddenly burst into flames, then turned into ashes and scattered in the air, and the other also spontaneously combusted less than 100 meters away.

Only one paper crane flying towards the village continued to flap its wings forward, Wu Zhenren motioned for us to follow, and only stopped until the door of Dasha's house, and the paper crane landed on the ground and did not move.

"Sure enough, it's still here." Wu Zhenren said softly.

A group of people looked at each other, could it be that the new well was going to be hit in Dasha's house?

After Wu Zhenren finished speaking, he put the crystal in his hand for a long time in the place where the paper crane landed, the little red fish in the crystal seemed to have found a treasure and kept hitting the inner wall of the crystal as if he wanted to go out, Wu Zhenren's index finger and middle finger were put together on the square crystal and nodded gently, and suddenly a red light came out of the crystal, and then I saw the little red fish in the crystal come out of the crystal, and immediately drilled back after drilling out, and carefully poked out his head to look at everyone, the people in Wangjia Village held their breath and did not dare to speak, I'm afraid I'll alarm this little guy.

The little red fish seemed to be sure that it was not in danger, and it swung its little tail to swim out of the crystal, cruising on the ground as naturally and agilely as swimming in the water, and dragging a long rainbow behind its tail.
