Shui Ling looked at Gong Qianyu, "Why do you live so close to a mentally retarded person? Don't get infected."

Gong Qianyu suppressed a smile and nodded, and said in agreement: "Yes, I think so too. Let's go to the dining room and ignore her."

Shui Ling nodded and continued walking towards the dining room.

Gong Qianyu looked back and popped a pebble with his finger...

"Ah...my teeth..." The young lady screamed and ran away covering her mouth.

Shui Ling turned around and looked at the fleeing figure, the corner of her mouth raised, "She won't dare to open her mouth to speak for the rest of her life."

Gong Qianyu nodded, "Yes, without the technology you had at that time, you can't even think about implanting teeth."

Shui Ling felt relieved. There was no need for such an uneducated person to waste energy on her.

The two of them came to the dining room. There was a well in the courtyard of the dining room, but the well mouth was very small and could only accommodate a straight tube as big as a bowl.

Shuiling asked in surprise: "Why is the wellhead so small? It is inconvenient to fetch water."

Gong Qianyu shook his head, "I don't know either."

At this time, a fat woman came up with a bucket of water and poured it into another bucket.

Shuiling asked: "Can I use this water to wash vegetables?"

The fat woman didn't notice the two people behind her. She was startled and was relieved when she saw a beautiful girl asking, "Girl, don't use the water here. People have fallen in before. Now this water is for livestock."

.”

"Ah... thank you." Shui Ling thanked her quickly.

She looked at Gong Qianyu again, "You haven't drank, have you?"

Gong Qianyu shook his head, "No, I haven't even eaten here."

Shui Ling breathed a sigh of relief, as long as he hadn't touched the things here. He thought he had a lot of things stored there, so he wouldn't be hungry.

She curiously looked into the well. The round hole, which was no bigger than her head, was dark, but Shui Ling saw a small black hand stretched out from inside and placed on the well platform.

It is wet, has distinct fingers, and its nails are sharp and sharp, just like the water ghost people say.

Gong Qianyu walked over, and the black claws retracted with a swish. If there weren't some water stains on the water table, people would think that he was dazzled.

He asked: "This water cannot be used. Let's not do it. After all, it uses a lot of water to do this."

Shui Ling shook his head, "It's inconvenient to draw water from this well. Just tear it down. It'll be no problem."

Gong Qianyu nodded, "Okay."

He went to find a shovel. The shovels at this time were all square-headed. He shoveled away the bricks accumulated at the wellhead and restored the wellhead.

Shui Ling discovered that this was a Bagua well. The stone at the mouth of the well was engraved with runes, and he could see clearly by sweeping away the soil above.

Gong Qianyu chuckled lightly, "It seems that the county magistrate is very good at choosing places. No wonder he can still live well after doing so many bad things."

Shui Ling knelt down, looked at it, and said with a smile, "This is the first time I've met someone who competes with the Taoist temple for territory."

This kind of well is commonly used in Taoist temples, and the runes are cleansing charms to keep the water clean and prevent debris from falling into it.

Then this location used to be the dining room, but why did someone say someone fell in? I didn’t feel any resentment at all.

Gong Qianyu asked: "Can this water be used?"

Shui Ling nodded, "It works, I don't feel any resentment, but I don't know if the people who fell in before have been caught."

The fat lady who brought water to the livestock came back. When she saw the crystal being dug up, she immediately screamed in panic, "What are you doing? Fill it up quickly, or the evil spirits will crawl out and eat people."

Shui Ling looked back at her, took out a ten-tael silver coin and waved it in front of the aunt. The aunt's roar was instantly suppressed.

"Auntie, please tell me in detail, and my money will be yours."

The aunt swallowed her saliva and said, "Okay, I'll say it."

In order not to waste time and worry about psychological problems, Shuiling did not use well water. He took out a few buckets of water and basins from the space and began to clean the water.

The aunt also came over to help, and then said: "I have been working here for ten years, and this matter started in my third year here."

"Girl, do you know about ghosts that cry at night?" the aunt asked mysteriously.

Shui Ling shook his head, he really hadn't heard of it, and it wasn't in the Evil Ghost Record either.

The aunt sighed, "At that time we thought it was the county magistrate's aunts who were crying, but later we found out that it wasn't the case. It was the ghosts who cried at night."

"Every day when the sun goes down, those night-crying ghosts cry. It's scary."

Shui Ling smiled and said: "This is a Yamen. People say that the Yamen is full of righteousness. How can there be ghosts?"

The fat aunt curled her lips, "The more wealthy people are, the more troubles they have... I'm going too far. Speaking of which, we have a little girl here who looks like a water spirit, but one day she jumped into the well crying and howling."

"The county magistrate also asked people to salvage it, but all they found were skeletons, but the girl who jumped into the well could not be found."

"As the number of bones increased, the county magistrate had the mouth of the well sealed. No one dared to drink the water inside and could only feed it to livestock."

Shui Ling asked curiously: "The body of the maid was not fished out?"

The aunt said with a frightened look on her face: "That's right, I just can't find it. The last person who went into the water didn't say anything after he came up. He was shaking like chaff. He didn't know what he saw. He didn't say anything to anyone who asked.

"

"Now he is feeding the horses in the stable. He was a good man, but he has become mute."

Shui Ling laughed dryly and looked at Gong Qianyu, who nodded and went to the stables.

"Auntie, I am friends with Master Wuchen. He gave me a lot of amulets and gave you some peace of mind."

She saw that the aunt's hall was darkened, so she gave her an amulet. The thing was just for use. How could she be stingy with things when she saw a good person in trouble.

"Oh, this is a good thing. Auntie reached out to take it, but she felt her hands were dirty, so she quickly wiped two handfuls on her body, took out a white cotton sweat towel, put it on, and then carefully put it in her arms.

Shuiling gave her the silver again and said, "Take it, you deserve it."

It can be seen that the aunt is not lying, so she must fulfill her promise.

The aunt grabbed it this time, put it in her arms after a moment of care, and said with a smile: "Girl, what else do you want to know?"

Shuiling thought for a moment and asked: "The county magistrate here is not very good. He always arrests good people. Why doesn't anyone file a complaint?"

The aunt looked around and lowered her voice and said: "Girl, you are new here. I dare not say this. Although the county magistrate... but who knows what the new one is like?"

After a pause, she said mysteriously: "This county magistrate is the second one I have experienced. The first one did all kinds of evil. This one came five years ago, so it's not bad, at least he won't harm women.

"

Shui Ling pretended to be unhappy and said: "My relatives were taken to the pearl mine for no reason, and now they don't know whether they are alive or dead."

The fat aunt sighed, "That must have offended the master. The county magistrate is ignorant and spoils his brother-in-law. Many things are done by the master."
