Chapter 388: The Great Well
"Okay." Gong Yiyu said softly, her voice was as clear as spring water, making people feel a sense of tranquility.
The darker the night, the fields under the moonlight were occupied by the figures of Zhao Rui and Gong Yiyu, and the weirdness sprouted at this moment.
The moonlight is painted with a layer of indifferent silver white under the curtain of night, and such a night seems to reveal a special quietness.
However, I could not be calm, and I lay on the back of the strange old man, my body as if chained, and I could not move.
The strange old man didn't follow Zhao Rui and Gong, he stayed here alone, as if he was trapped in fear in the circle of the Xishan Tomb.
I could feel the tension and anxiety in him, as if he was hiding some deep secret.
I looked up at the sky, and the moon's light was unusually bright in the darkness.
However, the originally bright moon has now turned a scarlet color, and it seems to be stained with blood, which is strange and terrifying.
My heart sank, the scarlet moon lit up the whole world, but it also illuminated the fear in my heart.
I know that all this is a bad omen, and things seem to be starting to go in an unpredictable direction.
The strange old man's body was trembling, and I could feel every rise and fall of his body, as if he was fighting against fear.
His hands were clenched, as if looking for a hint of comfort.
The strange old man's body was still trembling, and I knew that deep down in his heart was being eroded by fear.
The night deepened, the scarlet moon lit up the whole world, and I knew that this night was destined to be unpeaceful.
An eerie aura permeated at this moment, as if to herald an impending storm.
The night was getting darker, and the scarlet moon hung high in the night sky like a blood-colored gem.
The strange old man lay on the ground, his back bent like a boiled shrimp, and the wrinkles carved deep into his face like the marks of time.
The corners of his mouth suddenly moved slightly, and his low, hoarse voice was particularly clear in the silence of the night.
He muttered to himself, but his tone was full of sadness and helplessness.
"I summoned you, but it's not you who I want to summon."
His voice fluttered in the night wind, and every word seemed to carry a deep sense of sin and pain.
"I will summon my son......" his voice grew lower and lower, like smoke blown away by the wind, diffusing through the air.
As he spoke, I could see the pain and remorse in his heart.
His eyes were misty, as if he had traveled through time and space, back to that past world.
Next, the strange old man began to tell the story of him and his son.
His voice echoed in the night, like a sad poem, swirling between the moonlight.
His son was the pride of his heart and all his hope.
They have spent many days and nights together, experienced ups and downs together, and walked through long years together.
However, on an ordinary day, his son suddenly disappeared and disappeared into this world.
At that time, his world suddenly turned gray, and his heart was eroded by deep pain and remorse.
He began to look for his son by various means, and he began to pray to God that his son would appear to him again.
"But I didn't find him, I found you." The strange old man paused, a complicated glint in his eyes.
I looked at him and couldn't help but feel a chill in my heart.
The story of this old man, like a strange dream, made me feel uneasy and frightened.
As the night deepened, the moonlight cast a cold silver glow in the air.
I looked at the strange old man, his figure looked particularly lonely in the moonlight, like a traveler forgotten by the world.
The strange old man's name is Niu Er, and Niu Er's mother-in-law died early in the morning, leaving only a little boy.
The fields at night are like a quiet picture, and everything is silent.
Only Niu Er diligently took care of his naughty son in the faint moonlight, running around for a while, jumping up and down for a while, always full of endless vitality.
Niu Er used to be a strong man in the village, and everyone in the village knew about it, but now, he can only bear the burden of life alone in this dilapidated field.
His mother-in-law has long since passed away, leaving only his young son.
He looked at the energetic, lively and cute little guy, his heart was full of love, but also full of sadness.
Niu Er once thought about finding a stepmother, but in this poor and remote country, he has no long things, how can anyone want to live that kind of hard life with him?
As a result, he could only take on the role of a parent and take care of this monkey-like son.
He watched his son dig for insects in the fields and catch birds in the trees, like a little monkey that could never be caught.
He always had a smile of satisfaction and joy on his face, and it could be seen that his love for this son had surpassed all else.
It was late, and the moonlight was like water, sprinkled all over the courtyard of Niu Er's house.
Niu Er dragged his tired body home, but found that the house was empty, and the little guy didn't know where to run and mess around.
The door was unlocked, the stove was deserted, and a pot of undercooked porridge was still on the stove, apparently because the son had forgotten to burn it.
Niu Er frowned and cursed, so he had to go into the room by himself and set the fire on fire.
Niu Er boiled a pot of porridge and waited for his son to come back.
However, the night grew darker, and his son still did not return.
Niu Er's heart began to worry, he knew that his son was a leather monkey, but he had never come home so late.
He put down the wooden spoon in his hand and decided to go out to find him.
The village is not big, and his son plays in these few places.
However, he searched one by one, only to find that his son's shadow was nowhere to be seen.
His heart is getting heavier and heavier, Niu Er knows that this world is not as simple as he imagined, and some things, once they happen, are irreparable.
Just when he was about to despair, the little girl next door timidly opened her mouth: "Second uncle, I'...... In the afternoon, I saw Iron Egg go to the big well. ”
When Niu Er heard this, his heart tightened.
The large well was a forbidden place in the village, and the old people of the village said that there were some monsters in it.
He kept telling his son not to go there, but ......
He shook his head, not daring to think further.
Hearing Xiaoya's words, Niu Er was shocked by a thunderbolt on a sunny day, and ran to the big well without saying a word.
Located at the east end of the village, the large well is an ancient well, and it is impossible to tell how old it is.
Niu Er's grandfather said that when his grandfather was alive, the well was already there.
Not only is the large well much larger than the ordinary well, but its mouth is made of thick stones, and the thick stones are covered with moss, which looks ancient and mysterious.
