Volume 2 To the Dust Chapter 67 The Waves of the Ancient Well
The eastern suburbs of Lin'an City are not the suburbs of mountains and forests, but a farmland and a prosperous countryside.
Naturally, the villages in the county town will not be poor, but the villagers who have been farming for generations have to go to farming.
Even though it is the middle of autumn, some villagers still carry hammers to work in the fields.
There is a well not far from the entrance of the village, and the well has been fenced off with a wooden fence, and the naughty children in the village are also frightened by the family to dare not approach.
"Well, you say, what's going on in that well at the entrance of the village? I heard that several people have died. β
A group of children gathered under an old poplar tree to play, and suddenly, a relatively tall and strong child spoke.
The child was naughty, but he didn't dare to play with his life, but that deep curiosity would always be buried in his heart, and when he heard someone bring up this topic, he instantly became quiet.
"Yes, yes, I heard from my mother that there were demons in the well and killed them, so they were fenced off. A little girl answered.
A little baby who looked white and chubby shook his head, "My grandfather said that there were just demons there, how could they be dead?"
"Alas, that's your grandfather scared you, do you know who died?
At this time, a little boy in a gray cotton coat stood up, his thin figure was a little bloated by the cotton clothes.
He looked at the children around him, everyone was shaking their heads or dazed, not knowing who had happened, and he couldn't help but feel a sense of satisfaction in his heart.
So, he raised his right hand and shook it before leaning on his mouth, as if whispering, and whispered: "You know the widow of the Jin family at the entrance of the village! It is her, I heard that the day before yesterday when she was fetching water, she was dragged into the well by a demon covered in green, and several villagers tried to pull her, but they didn't hold her, and they heard the villagers say that the water in the well is blood-red and blood-red, but it is terrifying." β
"!"
The white and chubby little baby furrowed his eyebrows, which were slightly thicker than ordinary children, and a few wrinkles were squeezed out of the center of his full eyebrows.
"Hey, believe it or not, if you don't believe it, you can go to the Kim widow's house and see if the fool is the only one left in her house now!"
The gray-clothed boy was annoyed, and he no longer spoke in a low voice, but directly exhaled softly.
As soon as he said this, the tall boy's eyes lit up, "The fool hasn't played with us for the past two days, it's really possible, or let's go and see! β
The little babies are all simple, just naughty and curious, so they all nodded one after another, even the white and chubby little baby also wanted to go and see.
So the group rushed to the Jin family at the entrance of the village.
Some villagers in the village saw a group of babies walking towards the entrance of the village, and couldn't help but be a little curious, but the well at the entrance of the village was fenced, and the elders of the family told them almost every day not to go to the well.
A group of babies sneaked up on the courtyard of the Kim widow's house and asked a few people to knock on the courtyard door, but no one responded.
If it was usual, if a companion came to play with the fool, the widow of the Kim family would have opened the door enthusiastically, for fear that the fool would be alienated by the children of the village, and now there is indeed no response from the widow of the Kim family.
Don't......
"Look, I'm not wrong! This is what my dad told me, how could it be wrong. β
The boy in gray patted his swollen chest padded by cotton clothes, said with a satisfied face, and glared at the white and chubby little baby after speaking.
"That idiot must be very sad, why don't we go in and comfort him!"
The white and chubby little baby ignored the white eyes of the gray-clothed boy, but said to the children around her with some worry.
But no one echoed what he said, and usually everyone didn't like to play with fools.
The fool is a person who is as his name suggests, has some problems in intelligence, is usually stupid, and the appearance of the fool is also different from ordinary people, many children are willing to play with him just because he is diligent and willing to do some hard work.
The Kim widow likes the children to play with the fool because she is afraid that the fool will be isolated, but she can't imagine that even if the fool plays with many children, she will be isolated.
It is naturally difficult for children who are different to fit into the group of ordinary children.
So a group of people turned around, and the white and chubby little baby hesitated for a while and then left with everyone.
Soon it was noon, and the group of children was about to disperse and prepare for dinner.
The boy in gray, who had had a good time but was not satisfied, was also ready to leave the old poplar tree, and he wanted to laugh at the baby who said he was talking nonsense before leaving, but he couldn't find him.
He shook his head in an old-fashioned manner, thinking that the little baby was ashamed and left on his own.
But I didn't want to, at this time, the white and chubby little baby was crawling on the fence of the widow's house, and a pair of white and tender hands were scraped out of the red marks by the fence, but he was too young to climb the fence at all.
At this time, a big hand lifted the little baby up like a chicken, and the little baby panicked for a moment and clung to the fence.
"You let me go, you kid, how many times have you said at home, don't come to the entrance of the village, you're good, let me climb here, you treat you as a four-legged snake!"
At this time, a low and steady voice came, it was his grandfather's voice, the little baby hurriedly turned around, and sure enough, he saw an old man's face, it was his grandfather's serious face, and he also found that his grandfather was carrying a rice cage in his other hand.
"Grandpa, grandpa, are you delivering food to a fool?" the little baby let go of her grip on the fence and struggled in the air.
"Otherwise, will I bring you food? I can't hide it from you now, let's go! I'll take you home after delivering food!"
The little baby's grandfather let go of the little baby, pushed open the courtyard door, and walked in. This scene made the little baby feel helpless for a while, and he knew that the door of the yard was not locked, so he entered through the main entrance.
The little baby stepped away and followed her grandfather, and found that his grandfather was standing in front of the door of the house and kept knocking, but no one in the house answered.
The baby's grandfather furrowed his thick, gray brow, and the wrinkles on his face deepened.
Usually Alchemy plays in the yard, if there is really nothing to play with, he also sleeps in the house, Alchemy does not sleep heavily, he will wake up as soon as he knocks on the door, why does he not react after knocking on the door for so long?
At this time, his heart was beating, and a wave of uneasiness came to his heart, and he pushed the door hard, but the door was unlocked and opened directly.
The little baby's grandfather's heart beat wildly, put down the rice cage in his hand and rushed into the house, rushed to the bedroom of alchemy, no one was there, and then he went to the bedroom of the golden widow and there was no one:
He searched the whole house, and there was still no one!
"How so!"
A hoarse voice shouted out from the little baby's grandfather, and the gray hair seemed to have become whiter.
Seeing his grandfather such a little baby was taken aback, he had never seen his grandfather so irritable and scary, and his heart was flustered.
Suddenly, the little baby's grandfather thought of the ancient well, and was sure that it was there, so he hurriedly rushed out of the yard and went straight to the ancient well not far from the entrance of the village.
At this time, there was a wooden hedge about five or six meters away from the ancient well, but there were several wooden hedges on the ground in a mess.
There was a gap in the hedge, and a child who appeared to be thirteen or fourteen years old was throwing a piece of wood in his hand on the ground.
The dismantled wood was stained with some bright red, which was bloodstained, as if it had been painted with red ink, which was very conspicuous.
The child was dressed in a cotton coat, not too thick, and it was considered a cold in the current season, and he sat on the ground, looking dull, and his hair was combed straight and neatly tied, and even though he had painstakingly removed the wood from several hedges, there was still no loose trace of the hair tied up.
But his hands are not as beautiful as hair, at this time his hands are already covered with blood, although the flesh is not blurred, but the pieces of broken and turned up skin are covered with blood, which looks extremely scary, and there are some sand and stone sawdust sticking to the palm full of blood, embedded in the wound, making people feel very painful to see.
The blood on his palm was still dripping, and although the blood was not flowing quickly, he was still just a child, and this scene was really heart-wrenching.
"Mother...... Mother's ......"
The boy muttered softly, as faintly as the wind, so that it was impossible to hear what he was chanting.
Suddenly, a projection-like green shadow suddenly extended from the wellhead, and the hedge was five or six meters away from the wellhead, which was not very close, otherwise those villagers would not dare to surround the hedge here.
The green shadow does not look like a human, but like a willow tree, with many branches and shadows fluttering, which looks very terrifying.
I saw many branches like tentacles, reaching out to the child who had come in through the gap in the hedge, like the claws of a demon.
"Tentacle monsters! Hugh's hurt!"
A light that was also green fell, directly cutting off several branches, and the rest of the branches did not dare to stretch out to the child anymore, and shrank back one after another, but the shadow refused to retreat, and still stayed at the mouth of the well.
Su Yu stood on the sword, and his excellent eyesight naturally saw the child's hands, and he became angry all of a sudden, this demon really deserves to die.
Su Yu jumped up and landed beside the child, and casually enveloped the boy with a vitality wall, so that the child would not be hurt by the demon again.
"Mother! don't ...... Don't ......"
The child raised his head slightly, but ignored Su Yu beside him, but stared closely at the mouth of the ancient well, which was a green shadow, like the shadow of a big willow tree.
Hearing the child's words, Su Yu frowned slightly, and suddenly understood in his heart that it was the boy's mother who was victimized by this demon, so he broke through the fence and came to the ancient well.
This kid ......
Su Yu looked at the child, and suddenly felt a little sad, this child actually suffered from Down syndrome that he had learned in books before, also known as congenital stupidity, simply put, congenital intelligence will be a little lacking compared with ordinary people.
Just as Su Yu was about to raise his sword, the shadow turned into a half-human, half-tree shape, and something was muttering in his mouth.
Even Su Yu had a hard time hearing what he was saying, and it wasn't until Su Yu raised the sword in his hand that he could hear what he said clearly:
"My child...... Do you remember me?"
