"Your name is Dashan?" Bai Ze looked at the man in his thirties who had spoken earlier.

"Yes, my name is Dashan." Dashan touched his head and smiled innocently: "It is said that my mother dreamed of a mountain when she gave birth to me." When he was born, he saw that he was a boy, so he thought that he would simply call Dashan to get it. So, the mountain became my name. ”

"Your name is good, although it will not bring you any great wealth, but it can make you live to be at least seventy years old without worrying about food and clothing for the rest of your life, and to be in good health."

"Seventy years old, that's longer than my grandfather, my grandfather lived to sixty-four, and the people in our town said he was blessed." Dashan smiled so much that his eyes narrowed: "I don't have any big ambitions, I can really be like what Mr. said, I can live my life without worrying about food and clothing, and I can live to seventy peacefully. ”

"I'm a fortune teller, and I said that if you can live to seventy, you will definitely live to the truth." Bai Ze patted Dashan's shoulder: "What did your grandfather tell you at the beginning, is it related to this ancient well and the old locust tree?" ”

"Yes, but my grandfather also heard it from his grandfather, whether it's true or not, I don't know. Since my husband asked so, I told him everything my grandfather had told me. ”

"Say it." Bai Ze said, took a few steps back, and leaned on the incense case: "Let the big guys present also listen to it, so that no child will be naughty in the future, and like this big brother Yao, he will come out and make trouble casually." ”

Dashan nodded, twisted his arm, and took a few deep breaths before stumbling to speak.

It is said that three hundred years ago, something happened in the town of Huaxi that shocked the residents of the town. The mayor's daughter-in-law was intercepted and killed on the way back to her parents' home, and it is said that the death was very tragic, and the case has not been solved until now. The body was found on a path outside the city, and the body was found by a beggar in the town.

I heard that the beggar was also scared a lot, and a person who was already half-stupid was even more frightened crazy after this incident.

Although the people in Huaxi Town were shocked by the whole case, most of them had nothing to do with themselves and were talking about it in private. However, something even weirder is yet to come. Shortly after the mayor's daughter-in-law was buried, the coffin and body buried in the soil were gone.

It's good, the coffin is gone, the body is gone, and everyone in the town says anything. The mayor's son couldn't stand the blow, and within a few days, he also committed suicide by hanging himself. Since then, the mayor has rarely been seen in the town again. It wasn't until half a year later that it rained heavily for half a month, filling the ancient well.

After the rain stopped, the big guys heard the sound of gurgling in the ancient well, and when they were curious, they gathered around the well to see. As a result, I saw the mayor's daughter-in-law, who had disappeared for more than half a year, wearing a red wedding dress, lying on the well, and was swirling with the well water.

Most of the past half a year has passed, but the mayor's daughter-in-law is stunned that nothing has changed, just like when she just died. Others said that she did not look like a dead person, as if she had fallen asleep lying on the water of a well.

This found the daughter-in-law of the mayor's family who had been missing for a long time in the well, and the big guys were all in their hearts, and they always felt that this thing was a little strange. Later, it was proposed to go to the mayor. This daughter-in-law belongs to his family, whether it is salvaged and reburied, or just let her stay in the well like that, the mayor of the town must make an idea himself. But when everyone pushed open the door of the mayor's house, they found that the mayor was already dead, and he was kneeling in front of the door of the bedroom of his son and daughter-in-law.

Later, someone came from the county office, saying that the mayor had committed suicide and that the knife inserted in his chest was the one he had stabbed himself. As for why he knelt in front of the bedroom door of his son and daughter-in-law, no one knows.

"You've been talking about this for a long time, and I heard that the mayor's family has something to do with the ancient well, but what does this matter have to do with this old locust tree?"

"Don't worry, the story of the mountain shouldn't be finished yet, let's listen patiently." Bai Ze had a slight smile on the corner of his mouth.

Dashan nodded hurriedly and said, "It's not finished yet, after the mayor of this town died, there are still strange things happening." ”

"This man is dead, what other strange things can happen? It can't be that the mayor of the town who died is alive again, right? ”

"No, it was when the mayor was buried that he found a tree growing on the mayor's belly." Dashan touched his head and said, "That tree is the old locust tree you see now." ”

"Your grandfather is too bizarre to tell this story, isn't it? How could there be a tree on this dead man, and a locust tree had grown. Could it be that the old mayor of Huaxi Town is also an old tree and has appeared in his original form after death? ”

"Don't talk nonsense, be careful to get up tomorrow morning, you will also become like Yao Fulu." Before the man could finish speaking, he was covered by his mother-in-law.

"I thought it was weird, but that's what my grandfather told me back then." Dashan glanced at Bai Ze: "My grandfather also said one thing, saying that when we first started in Huaxi Town, we didn't need a coffin for burial, we buried people directly in the soil, and then planted a tree on it." This tree represents this person. You know the Huaxi Forest outside our town, right? It is said that buried under that forest are the ancestors of our townspeople in Huaxi Town, not only mine, but also yours. When did this rule change, it started with the dead mayor. At that time, there was also a rumor that the reason why the mayor's family encountered this kind of thing was all retribution, because he casually changed the rules left by his ancestors, which angered his ancestors, and he was punished to grow into a tree. ”

"You are pure nonsense, if what you say is true, then after the people in Huaxi Town die, they should not use coffins, but bury them directly in the soil as you said, and then plant a tree. Otherwise, the big guy will be punished, and a tree will grow in his belly like the unruly mayor. ”

"Believe it or not, that's what my grandfather said. My grandfather also said that the reason why our Huaxi Town was okay was because there was a very powerful feng shui gentleman at that time, and they gave an idea to bury the mayor of the town and the tree next to this ancient well. And the mayor's daughter-in-law, do you remember? It was the one floating on the top of the ancient well, and she was still in the well, and she was buried under this ancient well. My grandfather said that when he was young, he could still see the inscriptions on the old locust tree. ”

"Lettering? What words are engraved? ”

"It's the mayor's name and his birthday, which should be engraved on the trunk of this old locust tree. I haven't read a book, and I haven't learned to read and write, so if any of you know how to read, you might as well look around this old locust tree to see if what I say is true. Dashan said, pointing to the tree with his hand: "This old locust tree is the tombstone of the mayor, do you know?" ”
