Rongcheng, Liujie, Deep Water Lane.

Shenshui Lane is like most of the alleys in Rongcheng, the alley is more than ten steps wide, each household is hung with small lanterns at the door, the door is staggered, there will be no door-to-door situation, it is said to be a local custom, avoid door-to-door.

The alley is very deep, there are often forks in the road, one becomes two, two becomes four, although there are many forks, it looks complicated, in fact, every fork in the road can be rounded back, people who grew up here, can walk through the road in the alley with their eyes closed.

The reason why Shenshui Lane takes this name is because there is a hundred-year-old well in the depths of the alley, it is said that there was a well before the alley, the wellhead of the old well used to be very small, only two feet wide, put down a bucket It seems crowded, but the well water inside is very deep, the water that comes out in summer is cold and sweet, but the water that comes out in winter is warm and not too cold.

This well is very famous, so that people from several nearby alleys will come to fetch water, and even some people who are not too troublesome will come to fetch water in the alleys of another street.

So many years have passed, the wellhead that could only allow a wooden barrel to draw water at the beginning was repaired to be half a zhang wide, and several buckets can be used to draw water together, in order to avoid someone accidentally falling into the well, a circle of wooden fences was specially built at the side of the well, the height of the fence was just as high as the waist of ordinary people, and ordinary people stood outside the fence and threw the bucket into the well, and they could easily get water.

Xiaoba and the others wandered around along the alley, not in a hurry to go to Liu Yongxing's house, but walked around the alley to have a look, anyway, the time was not in a hurry, and it was nothing to take a stroll.

You Zifang and Xiao Yu'er are both very curious people, the two of them look east and west, sometimes tilting their heads to peek into other people's yards, sometimes even going into the unclosed yard to see the chickens in the yard, and finally being driven out by the big black dog raised by others.

The two of them giggled when they went in, and when they came out, they ran faster than the other.

After a while, a few people turned around in the laneway, and finally came to the depths of the deep water lane, here is an empty small open space, a few trees are scattered around, and there are all kinds of wooden water tools, water scoops, buckets, well ropes, etc., the center of the open space is the origin of this deep water lane, the deep water well.

Looking at the half-zhang wide well in front of him, You Zifang and Xiao Yu'er glanced at each other curiously, and walked closer together, Xiao Yu'er raised her little hand and pulled You Zifang's clothes, signaling him to pick herself up, otherwise she was too small, not high enough to see anything.

You Zifang shook his head, signaled to Xiaoba to hug him, and there was a playful expression on his face, so angry that Xiao Yu'er snorted, kicked his little foot on You Zifang's calf, and then turned his little face to Xiaoba angrily and pouted.

Xiaoba smiled helplessly, picked up Xiao Yu'er, and the three of them looked at the wellhead together, the wellhead was later repaired and expanded, the upper edge of the well was very wide, but the line of sight looked inside, the deeper the inside, the narrower the well, because the inside was too deep, the three of them could only see the black inside, and from time to time there were slight fluctuations in water ripples, but it was not obvious.

The wellhead was repaired later, but the original appearance left in the well was still left in the past, the wellhead was made of white granite, and a line of small characters was carefully carved at the wellhead, which read: inexhaustible, endless.

The well was covered with green moss, through which some pebbles on the wall could be faintly seen.

After throwing it in for a while, I heard a crisp sound of water, echoing in the well, and the little fisherman made a "wow" sound, which was very interesting.

Xiao Ba's hand is strong, because he wants to hold Xiao Yu'er, he can only pull the rope with one hand, and every time he pulls the well rope, he wraps it around his hand, Xiao Ba's arm strength is quite good, even if it is one-handed, a bucket full of well water is pulled up like this, and it is very stable, and it does not spill out.

"Wow" You Zifang and Xiao Yu'er exclaimed again, the well water pulled up was unusually clear, if there were no water ripples caused by shaking in the bucket, I am afraid they would suspect that there was no water in the bucket.

You Zifang took out a water scoop from another bucket on the side, scooped up the well water, and drank it all, "Comfortable!" The wanderer exhaled with pleasure, this well water has an indescribable lubricating taste, sliding down the throat into the stomach, and after drinking, it also brings a burst of sweetness.

"I want it too, I want it too" Xiao Yu'er saw You Zifang's comfortable appearance, so anxious that he waved his hands and wanted to taste it, You Zifang smiled and scooped up another scoop of well water, handed it to Xiao Yu'er's mouth, Xiao Yu'er's two little hands grabbed the water scoop, the little mouth bit the edge of the water scoop, and drank a big mouthful.

Hiccup! Xiao Yu'er burped the well water, her eyes were shining, obviously she also thought that the well water was very delicious, and Xiao Hachi finally took the water scoop and took a sip.

This taste is not like water, how can there be a lubricating feeling, and after the stomach, the mouth is sweet, is there anything wonderful about this well water?

Thinking like this, Xiao Ba glanced around, and saw that it was the future, many people were taking a nap at home, and no one came to fetch water, so he reached out and touched the yin and yang fish plate, You Zifang and Xiao Yu'er saw Xiao Hachi like this, and they all guessed what he was going to do, and now even Xiao Yu'er knew that the disc in Xiao Ba's hand could make a lot of black and white lines.

Sure enough, under the gaze of the two, the yin fish on the yin and yang fish plate continued to tremble, and black lines were formed, falling down the disc, extending deep along the wellhead, and You Zifang and Xiao Yu'er watched curiously as those black lines went deeper into the well little by little.

The speed of the black line into the well continued to accelerate, and soon along the wall of the well came to the bottom of the well, Xiao Hachi sensed the well water at the bottom of the well through the black line, and raised his hand to urge the two black lines to wrap around the wrists of Xiao Yuer and Youzifang, the two of them only felt that their hearts were shaking, and a strange feeling came to their hearts, as if they were under the well, and it was the black line.

The black line lightly clicked on the well water, the cool of the well water was fed back to the three people at the wellhead along the black line, the three of them only felt that the body was cool, and the black line silently drilled into the well water, no wonder the well water was so clear, there was not even a little floating object in the well water, it was very clean, and the black line continued to go deeper.

After going deeper than ten zhang away, the black line stopped, and the well water went deep to this position, and the situation at the bottom of the well has changed greatly, no longer a narrow space in the well, but the feeling of water flow, here has reached the bottom of the well wall, the source of the well water, and the groundwater below here.
