Chapter 157 Filling the Well
After eating, Uncle Er said for a while, but I was not energetic. When Uncle Er said that, I lay in Ouyang Xuanzi's arms and slept soundly.
The second uncle said, "Please carry her in."
"Okay." Ouyang Xuanzi bent down and carried me into the room, put me down and opened my eyes. I said, "When my second uncle talks about you in the future, you can find other excuses to leave."
"Uncle Er said everything is right, why should I leave?" Ouyang Xuanzi was amused, put me down, covered me with the quilt, and sat aside with me.
I thought about it, and my eyes wandered there for a while: "Why did Mr. Bai die when he looks so young?"
"During the Republic of China, there was a family named Bai who was a big family and opened a pharmacy. This pharmacy was well-known both inside and outside during the Republic of China, but the good times did not last long. Because it offended people, it was crowded everywhere. Mr. Bai from this family was old and worried that he would be harmed, so he bought a house and placed his son there to raise him.
This child is talented and intelligent, and is a rare sensible person.
Not long after, Mr. Bai was framed and killed, and the whole family was killed, and only this son escaped the disaster.
Unfortunately, the son is very filial to his parents. When he learned that his parents had been killed, he did not come up in one breath and died.
It was not until this time that he realized that he was dead, it was last night."
"Then he never knew he was dead, why didn't he come out?" Isn't this strange?
"During the Republic of China, he thought he was not angry and died, but he fainted and woke up again. As soon as he died, he was robbed by war. He and the people there became ghosts, and they continued to be free and easy there."
"He is still very lucky to say that, otherwise wouldn't it be very painful if he knew he was dead?"
"Hong'er, you should rest." Ouyang Xuanzi said and touched my head. I closed my eyes before resting.
I slept for one morning, but I didn't get up in the afternoon. Everyone else had dinner and went to rest. I stood at the counter. My second uncle asked me not to read books. I looked at my second uncle: "Is it useful to read now? I haven't read books for seven or eight years."
Uncle Er was so angry that he wanted to hit me. I saw that there was no one around, so I fiddled with a few bottles inside the counter. Wenwen brought Ye Peng to him.
I thought they were here to play with me, but Wenwen, who entered the door, asked me: "Where is Zi'er?"
"Zi'er is resting."
"My mother asks him to get up. Some things are something we have to do." Ye Peng was ready to do it. After saying that, he turned around and left.
Wenwen didn't mean to leave, nor did she say anything to me. Both of them turned around and left.
Seeing that they left, I went back to find Ouyang Xuanzi. I was afraid that Wenwen and the others would delay their affairs, so I pushed the door open and went in. I woke Ouyang Xuanzi. When Ouyang Xuanzi saw me get up from the bed, I asked me what happened. I told me about Ye Peng's visit.
Ouyang Xuanzi didn't ask much, and after getting up, she went out of the house and took me to Ye Wanzhen and the others.
When I arrived at Ye Wanzhen, I heard Ye Wanzhen and Zong Wuze say as soon as I entered the door: "Since you don't have time, I don't have it either, please ask them to go. Today is the weekend and I will be back on Monday."
"Their age is at the age of academic priority. How can they get out again and again? It's a bit inappropriate."
Zong Wuze sounded quite a reliable parent, but Ye Wanzhen said unfriendly: "Senior brother, it's not me that you have seen Wenwen's achievements. If you don't do any homework, what hope do you have to pay?"
I was speechless. No matter how bad I was, I couldn't say that.
But when I look at Wenwen, Wenwen is not sad at all. I guess she must be used to it.
Ye Wanzhen is Ye Peng's mother, Wenwen and Ye Peng are good, Ye Wanzhen is her mother-in-law, and she should have nothing to say.
Zong Wuze was displeased: "Zhenzhen, you are not allowed to say that Wenwen. I think Wenwen was ruined by you. You don't want your own homework to be bad, and you always make your children's homework not good."
"My poor homework is all the reason for my senior brother. Every time my senior brother doesn't teach us, have you forgotten?" Ye Wanzhen began to expose others' shortcomings. Zong Wuze was so angry that he was so angry that he simply said, "Don't say it anymore."
Ye Wanzhen is still worthy of face, so if you don’t say it, you won’t say it.
But Ye Wanzhen looked at Ouyang Xuanzi and me and asked, "Hong'er, are you two okay?"
I glanced at Ouyang Xuanzi and shook my head: "It's nothing."
"Then help my aunt go to the countryside. My aunt's health is really bad and I can't go." Ye Wanzhen is actually in good health. I think she just doesn't want to go.
"We're okay, let's go." I said. Since I'm going to go no matter what, I still have a favor when I say it.
Ouyang Xuanzi said, "Since Hong'er wants to go there, then go."
"Well, go." Ye Wanzhen was of course willing, so she turned around and looked at Ye Peng: "You go too, take care of it. As for Wenwen, it's okay if your uncle doesn't allow him to go."
After saying that, Ye Wanzhen left and explained: "Tell me about Hong'er Zi'er and leave while it's still dark."
"Okay." Ye Peng agreed, and Ye Wanzhen also went outside. Ye Wanzhen left and Ye Peng looked at me and Ouyang Xuanzi: "Since you agreed, I will tell you about the incident."
Ye Peng walked aside and sat down, and told Ouyang Xuanzi and me about this incident, while Wenwen told Zong Wuze what she wanted to go.
According to Ye Peng, this time the incident was a matter of a village, but it was not because of the entire village, but because of a dry well in the village.
This village is called Yushu Village. It is a well-known poor village. It is said that every household has no money to take out all year round, and they have to go out to borrow money when they go to school.
This village was poor before, but it is still poor now, but the old people in this village said that the poor village was poor because of a dry well.
They all said that there was a turtle spirit in the dry well. Because the turtle spirit was poor, their village was poor, so they had an idea to fill the dry well, hoping to become rich.
After all, it is a place where people are born, especially in the countryside. They are hard to leave their hometowns, so they don’t want to leave, so they can only think of other ways.
But it was the case that something happened to fill the well.
It is said that a few young people filled the well and invited a monk to the temple. But I don’t know what happened. It rained heavily on the first day of filling the well. Because it was too heavy, everyone didn’t wait to shovel the soil, and the soil became thinner and went back first.
The strangest thing is that even if the mage who went to fill the well and opened the magic tricks, he didn't walk steadily on the way back, fell to death.
A few days later, they went to fill the well again. That day, they fell into the well and died. They finally got it out, but it was a bit strange. It seemed that they were not killed by being killed by being killed by being scared to death.
The villagers talked about this matter all the time, and most of them felt that they were killed by the turtle spirit.
