"Hmm..." Zhan Zhao was in a dilemma. He touched his chin and had no idea. He looked around and saw that Yutang was not there yet, and there was no one to discuss it.

The fourth child suggested, "Would you like to go over and take a look?"

Zhan Zhao nodded, hugged him and moved forward.

Man Muhua crossed his arms and shook his head behind him, refusing to go near the well.

Zhan Zhao stopped when he was about three or four steps away from the well.

Xiao Sizi raised his head to look at him, and Zhan Zhao also raised his head to look at the sky.

Zhan Zhao found that there was something strange about the trees near this area...the branches and leaves of all the trees grew towards the direction of the well, so above the well, the tree crown formed a circle...very round!

Zhan Zhao frowned—does this happen naturally?

Just as he was wondering, he felt the fourth child scratching his front.

Zhan Zhao lowered his head.

The fourth son pointed to the moss-covered area on one side of the well and said, "Mao Mao, there!"

Zhan Zhao stared at the direction pointed by the fourth son and found a faint pattern under the moss on the well wall.

Walking over, Zhan Zhao picked up a branch and scraped the moss, and saw a leaf pattern carved on the wall of the well.

Zhan Zhao and Xiao Sizi looked at each other - leaves!

Usually, the leaf pattern is the symbol of He Wanfeng... But Zhan Zhao has observed that He Wanfeng does not always use one kind of leaves. The more commonly used leaves are the leaves of Fengqiu, or maple leaves, and sometimes they are also used in different directions.

leaves to express different meanings... But the shape of this leaf is a bit strange.

First of all, this leaf is not a phoenix tree or a maple leaf. It is a long and narrow leaf, curled up, and looks like a willow leaf.

Zhan Zhao asked the fourth son, "Is this a willow leaf?"

The fourth son was also a little unsure, "It's a bit like it, but why do the willow leaves curl?"

Zhan Zhao scratched his head, wondering where he could go.

"It doesn't feel like He Wanfeng's usual style. He seems to always use the kind of wide leaves." Zhan Zhao hugged the fourth son and walked around the well. The more he looked, the more suspicious he became.

"Are these roots grown or carved?" Zhan Zhao couldn't understand.

The fourth boy took out a knife as thin as a cicada's wings from his small purse, and that means - scrape it and see if it can cut off the bark, then it is a real tree!

Zhan Zhao took the knife and glanced at the tree roots.

At this time, not far away, Man Muhua was asking Che Dabao about the origin of the well. The two of them were chatting without paying attention.

Zhan Zhao walked around to the back of the well, stretched out his hand and gently scratched a tree root... As the knife scratched the surface of the tree root, Zhan Zhao knew that it was really a tree root, and the texture was made of wood, not stone.

"How did these roots grow? Is it possible that this well is a big tree root?" Zhan Zhao was asking, when he felt the fourth son pulling him hard.

"Cat, Cat, bleeding!"

Zhan Zhao was startled, thinking that he had been scratched when he put away the knife, but there was no blood on the hand that Xiao Sizi stretched out, pointing instead to the root of the tree that Zhan Zhao had just scratched.

Zhan Zhao lowered his head and took a look - What a guy! There was a red hole on the root of the tree that he had just scratched, and a red water trail was flowing out along the "wound", with dripping red water drops.

When it falls to the ground, it looks like a person or animal is bleeding after being scratched.

Zhan Zhao silently took a step back and asked the fourth son, "What is this?"

The fourth child touched his chin and asked, "Dragon blood tree?"

"Really?" Zhan Zhao wondered, "Isn't there a big dragon's blood tree in Baihua Valley? It doesn't look like this!"

As he said that, Zhan Zhao took a closer look at the well and felt a little like...a dragon's blood tree growing upside down!

The fourth son also felt that the top branches of the dragon blood tree looked like roots, and the crown of the tree above the head looked like a small island... It did feel the opposite here.

Zhan Zhao doesn't have much research on trees or anything like that. Xiaotuanzi has only half a bucket of water. It seems he can only go back and ask the experts...

He walked around the well again and looked at the manhole cover.

Zhan Zhao's hands were still weak, so he went up and touched the iron ropes and found that they were very strong. He poked at the rivets and found that they were also very strong. He knocked on the manhole cover again and listened attentively.

The fourth son crossed his arms and encouraged him, "Maomao, just open it and take a look!"

Zhan Zhao looked at the fourth son.

The fourth son blinked with his big eyes, "What's the big deal? There are corpses in the well! It's not like I've never seen it before!"

Zhan Zhao looked at Xiaotuanzi with a speechless expression.

The fourth boy pursed his lips - the cat is scared! Come on!

Zhan Zhao was helpless, "I can't open it even if I want to! It's such a thick chain."

The little fourth son looked at the sky and muttered, "I clearly learned how to pick locks from Bai Bai before..."

Zhan Zhao shook the dumpling and said, "Encourage me!"

"There are no corpses in this well."

One large and one small were struggling by the well. Behind them, Man Muhua walked up.

Zhan Zhao and Xiao Sizi both turned to look at him.

Man Muhua pointed helplessly at Che Dabao behind him, "I asked about it just now, and he said that he heard from an old man at home that there was a broken car in the well."

Zhan Zhao and Xiaosi were both stunned, one big and one small tilted their heads, "Broken car?"

"Yes!" Man Muhua nodded, "It is said that it was a car owned by the Che family a long time ago... But the people who rode in that car kept getting into trouble. It seemed that there was something wrong with the wood used to make the shaft... In short, that car was very unlucky.

The ancestors of the Che family left this car in a dry well in this barren mountain, and nailed it and locked it. These tree roots grow from the ground, and they will bleed if scratched... so no one dares to come to this area.

.”

Zhan Zhao and Xiao Sizi looked at each other and looked down at the well together.

"Could it be that...these tree roots grew from the wood of the broken car in the well?" Zhan Zhao looked shocked - this was really unexpected.

Man Muhua spread his hands, "It's logically impossible. The wood used to make the car was roasted in the fire and soaked in water... When have you ever seen wood growing roots? Which toilet can bloom?"

Both Zhan Zhao and Xiaosizi thought it would be nice if the toilet could bloom...

"Then why is there a leaf on the well?" Zhan Zhao still refused to give up.

"If it's just a car, do you want to open it and take a look?" The fourth son continued to encourage Zhan Zhao.

Man Muhua waved his hands again and again, gesturing behind the two of them, "They said, even if you rent the land, you are not allowed to open this well."

Zhan Zhao was discouraged and looked at the fourth son, "Do you still want to rent?"

The fourth son hesitated, "How about we go back and ask Yaoyao and Madam before making a decision?"

Zhan Zhao nodded and took the dumpling back to talk to Che Dabao.

Che Dabao naturally had no objection, but he still suggested that the fourth son should not rent this piece of land and find another piece of land.

The group left Che Dabao and took the car back to Kaifeng Mansion.

Zhan Zhao wanted to share this matter with Master Wu.

…

At the same time, Bai Yutang was walking to the military camp with Lin Yehuo.

On the way, they met Liang Chenmei and Fang Tianyue, who were running to register for the competition, and Yao Changtian, who was responsible for taking care of their children.

The White Ghost King and a group of children looked at the combination of Lin Yehuo and Bai Yutang, which was quite novel, and asked them why they were going there, where was their best friend?

As soon as Lin Yehuo told the story, Liangchenmei wanted to join in the fun.

Yao Changtian also thought it was interesting, so he walked with him to the military camp.

Bai Yutang asked Fang Tianyue how to sign up this year? Is it still the Tianshan team?

Fang Tianyue shook his head, "The Tianshan team is qualified for the main competition and does not need to participate in the selection. This time I signed up for the individual competition."

"Is there still an individual competition?" Bai Yutang began to think about Zhan Zhao - didn't the cat become the leader of some plum blossom competition? It would be unreasonable for the leader of the individual competition not to perform...

"This time the age divisions are more detailed." Fang Tianyue said that he wanted to participate in the competition between fifteen and eighteen.

Lin Yehuo teased him, "Aren't you only twelve? You are almost an adult when you are fifteen or sixteen. You will suffer a lot in such a competition!"

Bai Yutang also nodded, "Is this the class that Taixue is studying? Wang Lin seems to be participating too."

"Yes! Wang Lin, Nangong Qin and Shen Mao formed a Taixue team." Lin Yehuo thought it was quite interesting, "There are many experts in this age group, so the competition should be exciting."

Fang Tianyue thought the same way, and felt that it was more interesting to play with the masters, and it didn't matter what the results were.

Chatting about things related to the Plum Blossom Match, everyone walked near the military camp. Before they even entered, they heard a commotion in the camp.
