Chapter 21 Dry Well
The well that Du Jinguan mentioned is located in a corner of the village. It has been abandoned for a long time because there is no water coming out.
First, there is the little girl in the village. She is the little granddaughter of the village head. She is not yet ten years old. She wears tiger-toed shoes and runs around the village with a small kite every day.The little girl is cute and very clever. Everyone in the village likes her and often teases her with candy to make her happy.That evening, the village chief's family prepared a meal and gathered at the dining table, but Xiaoya didn't come back for a long time.Xiaoya's mother was a little worried, so she went out to look for her. After asking around, everyone in the village had seen Xiaoya, but Xiaoya didn't stay in any house. They all said that Xiaoya had gone home long ago.
From dusk to midnight, people in the village heard that Xiaoya was missing, and they all took out torches to search with the village chief's family.Everyone turned the village upside down, and even sent a team of people up the mountain to look for it, but they didn't find any trace of Xiaoya.In the end, a village woman tripped over something when she passed the dry well. She got up and held up a torch to see. The thing that tripped her was the little kite that Xiaoya kept on her body. There was a tiger's head falling beside the kite. shoe.The village woman illuminated the dry well with a torch and called Xiaoya's name loudly.The dry well was quiet, her voice went down and hit the well wall and bounced back to form an echo. The ethereal and gloomy voice resounded through the dry well.Gradually, these voices changed their tune, and each sound seemed like a wrong song calling to the soul.The village woman fell to the ground and looked around in a panic. The howling wind accompanied by the rustling of leaves sounded like someone was crying.She got up from the ground in fear and hurried to find other people in the village and brought them to the dry well.The little kite and the tiger-toed shoes were still there, and Xiaoya's parents stood by the well and called out their daughter's name loudly, but there was still no answer.Today is a cloudy day, the moon is completely covered by dark clouds, and they can't see what is under the well just by the light of the torches.The village head and the village head's wife went home and took a rope, a basket and a few small white flour steamed buns, and hung the basket with the rope to the bottom of the well, hoping that their granddaughter would not starve to death in the well.
When the person was found, all the villagers went home to sleep, only Xiaoya's parents were still standing by the well and persistently calling Xiaoya's name.Early the next morning, the village head's family took a rope to the dry well to save people, but when Xiaoya's uncle climbed to the bottom of the well along the rope, there was nothing but weeds underneath.The steamed buns that were put down last night were still intact at the bottom of the well. There were no other traces here except the uncle's footprints. Obviously, the little girl didn't fall down.Little girl is alive but no one is dead or dead. This matter is not big or small. Everyone comforted the village chief and said that Xiaoya might have gone outside and was picked up by others, and she will be sent back in a few days up.Most of the people believed this statement—it’s okay not to believe it. Could it be that Xiaoya disappeared in the well out of thin air? This is too scary.
Only Xiaoya's mother still stood by the well and called Xiaoya day after day. She had an intuition that her daughter was under this well.That night, the whole village fell asleep, and a scream broke the silence of the village at night.
"Little girl! The little girl is here! Mother will go over immediately!"
The people who rushed to the well saw only one embroidered shoe, which was Xiaoya's mother's shoe.Like Xiaoya, she also sees no one alive or dead. Many people have heard what she yelled before she disappeared, and they are even more taboo about that well. No one dares to approach it.
The strange things didn't stop because of the disappearance of Xiaoya and mother. People in the village began to disappear one after another, and their things also appeared by the well one by one.Everyone said that after Xiaoya died in the well, the ghost came back to take revenge, because the names of all the missing people were connected together to become "bloody hatred, revenge must be revenge".The people in the village were in panic all day long, and everyone proposed to move the village and build a grave for the little girl to comfort her spirit in heaven.At this time, Du Jinguan fell at the entrance of the village.He is a cultivator, so he can see more things than ordinary people in the village.In his eyes, there were hideous corpses and a little girl under the well.Their mouths were wide open, the corners of their mouths were torn, and bright red blood flowed from their eye sockets.Everyone's hands are stretching upwards, as if they are about to rush out of the well.Du Jinguan shuddered, feeling that this was not a good thing.
"I can hear your jealousy."
"Who is talking!"
"It's sad. The proud son of heaven has fallen to this point."
"Who! Sneaky people only know how to hide, come out!"
"I am you, you are me..."
"I will grant your wish for you."
"You, what did you say?"
"Du Jinguan, this is your future."
Du Jinguan once again saw the hallucination he saw when he entered Biluo's small world, but this time there was another person in the hallucination.He watched Yun Yuan fall from the clouds and become a betrayer spurned by everyone, he couldn't help but get excited.He also saw Jiang Shen knock Yun Yuan off the Wanmo Cliff, he got Yun Yuan's gold thread clothes and Jiang Shen's love, his blood is boiling!
"Lead Yun Yuan to the well and push him down."
Du Jinguan woke up like a dream, and the joyful feelings in the illusion just now still remained in his body.He lay down by the well, checked his body, there was nothing abnormal, and he was not cursed, and he believed that this well was the body of Frost Spring.The Fountain of Frost can turn the illusion into reality, as long as he pushes Yunyuan down the well, the illusion of Yunyuan falling into the cliff of ten thousand demons will become reality.
Jiang Shen checked the well, and there was indeed a spiritual power formation sealed by Du Jinguan on it, as well as an evil spirit.He glanced at Du Jinguan suspiciously, but he didn't fully believe Du Jinguan's words.Yun Yuan's gaze didn't stay on the well too much, he always felt that someone was watching them all the time, and this feeling of being watched hadn't disappeared since he and Jiang Shen entered the village.
The village chief prepared a table of good dishes to welcome Jiang Shen and Yun Yuan. During the dinner, he kept praising Du Jinguan for what he had done for their village, and toasted Jiang Shen with several glasses of wine.Jiang Shen wanted to decline, but he saw Yun Yuan had already picked up the wine glass and drank it down in one gulp.
"Be careful, it's poisonous." Jiang Shen suddenly tightened his junior brother's hand and whispered.
"Non-toxic, it's good wine." Yun Yuan gave Jiang Shen a "reassuring" look.He is proficient in medicinal medicine, and he only needs to look and smell to tell what is in the table.
"Since the two elders are senior brothers of the Great Immortal, let's live together in the villain's house. The villain will order someone to clean up two more rooms."
Jiang Shen didn't sleep very well that night, and he always felt that someone was whispering in his ear.
"Jiang Shen, I will pay you back what I owe you, and I hope that I will never see you again forever."
"Do you know what it feels like to be devoured by thousands of demons?"
"This hatred lasts forever, see you next time, and I will take your life."
Jiang Shen woke up from the dream and shook his head vigorously.He seemed to be having a nightmare, but couldn't remember what it was about.After he ascended to immortality, he seldom experienced great joy or sorrow. The only time when he experienced violent mood swings was when he saw Du Cai, his former enemy.Feeling a little thirsty, Jiang Shen stood up and raised his hand, and the teacup and teapot on the table flew into his hand.
Suddenly, a white shadow flashed through the window, and Jiang Shen directly shot out the teacup in his hand. The phantom floated so fast that Jiang Shen's attack missed.Jiang Shen immediately got up and went out to follow Bai Ying, but he didn't expect to walk to the dry well during the day.Bai Ying stopped by the well, lowered his head and didn't know what he was looking at.After Jiang Shen approached, he realized that Bai Ying was his younger brother. He breathed a sigh of relief and taught, "It's so late and you don't want to go to bed."
"Jiang Shen." Yun Yuan's voice came over.
"Huh?" Jiang Shen quietly hid the magic weapon in his sleeve.
"You owe me, what do you use to pay?" The white figure turned around slowly, his face was covered with bloodstains, and looking down, there was a hole in the dantian, and it was empty inside.
Jiang Shen took a breath and immediately thought of his previous life.He eagerly stretched out his hand and said, "Yun Yuan! I was wrong, I misunderstood you!"
"You have nowhere to escape." Yun Yuan smiled bitterly, fell straight backwards, and fell into the dry well.
Jiang Shen rushed over to grab the edge of the well and looked inside, but saw Yun Yuan's broken body in the well.
"Hey!" Jiang Shen sat up from the bed suddenly, his forehead was covered with sweat beads as big as beans, his breathing was short of breath, and his chest kept heaving.
Is it a dream?Jiang Shen looked out the window, the moon was still hanging high in the sky, there was no white shadow, and no dry well.Jiang Shen rubbed his temples and sat back on the bed to sort out what he had just dreamed about.
"Knock knock."
Jiang Shen watched Yun Yuan open the door and come in. He sat on the bed and couldn't move at all, and couldn't control his body at all.He saw Yun Yuan pulling away his clothes little by little, walking towards him slowly.Jiang Shen's throat rolled, telling himself that this is not real, this is still a dream.
"Senior brother." Yun Yuan leaned against Jiang Shen's ear and exhaled a sultry breath from his vermilion lips.
Jiang Shen's body finally moved, but it was not controlled by him.Jiang Shen watched himself and his younger brother being entangled with each other, which was not his intention.
Waking up again, Jiang Shen couldn't tell whether he was in a dream or in reality.The wine at night must be a problem with the wine.Something is wrong with this village, Yun Yuan must be woken up quickly.Jiang Shen walked quickly to Yun Yuan's door and knocked, but it was Du Jinguan who came out to open the door.
"Senior brother!" Du Jinguan was a little surprised, but the expression of surprise soon climbed onto his face.
"Why are you here, where is Yun Yuan?"
Du Jinguan lowered his head, looked up at Jiang Shen seriously after a while, and said, "What are you talking about, brother, am I not here?"
"Brother, get out of the way!"
Jiang Shen subconsciously heard Yun Yuan's voice and turned to the left to avoid it, and saw Yun Yuan running towards him.In an instant, countless vines grew from "Yun Yuan"'s feet and wrapped around his body, twisting him into a wisp of black smoke.
"Yun Yuan, are you okay?" Jiang Shen eagerly patted Yun Yuan who ran over, very worried.
"I'm fine, there's something wrong with this village, we have to leave now."
"No one can leave!" The village chief led the villagers out of the dark, each of them holding a weapon in their hands, and their eyes were full of gloom.
