Chapter 398 398 Leaves(1/2)
The sudden sound suddenly made the atmosphere in the yard feel strange.
Everyone was looking at the well that made a strange noise.
Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang were by the well. They followed the sound and looked into the well. However, the well was empty and there was nothing.
However, Bai Yutang noticed that there was a shallow water mark around the well... which was not there just now... indicating that the water level in the well had dropped.
Bai Yutang asked Samexia to get into the water and take a look.
It happened that Zhan Zhao's internal power illuminated the well well enough, and after Shark entered the water, he dived to the bottom of the water.
The well was empty, and the walls around it looked very similar to those of the Xu family.
Everyone gathered at the well and watched for a long time, and found that the water level had dropped significantly. When the water level stopped moving, the weird scream disappeared.
Zhai Qinbao asked, "Could it be caused by the water flow at the bottom of the well?"
Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang also thought it was very possible. There couldn’t be some weird fish or water monsters living in the water... But it doesn’t look that way.
Zhan Zhao also looked at Bai Yutang - if the water monster was white, would you take it back and raise it?
The fifth master shook his head with disgust - Chouji!
Shark jumped up from the well and sat on the edge of the well, shaking off the water drops on his body.
Zhai Qinbao couldn't see the shark, so he bent down and looked into the well, only to be splashed with water droplets on his face.
After touching the water on his face, Zhai Qinbao raised his face to see if it was raining.
Zhan Zhao quickly put away the little shark.
When Zhai Qinbao saw that it was not raining and could not figure out where the water came from, he frowned and took a step back.
Pang Yu happened to be standing behind him and peeked out. He was bumped by him and took a step back. As a result, he lost his footing and fell to the ground.
"oops……"
The young Marquis rubbed his buttocks, and Zhai Qinbao turned around and hurriedly pulled him back.
As a result, Pang Yu sat there and pointed to the bottom of the well and said, "Are there any words engraved on it?"
Everyone looked in the direction of his finger.
I saw that at the bottom of the well, there was indeed a symbol engraved on it, but it didn’t look like words.
Zhai Qinbao took a lantern to light it up, looked at it for a while, and asked, "Is it a leaf?"
Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang also looked at each other - this was almost the same as the leaf carved on the strange well on the land of Che's house. It was a long rolled leaf, similar to a willow leaf.
Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang both frowned - turns out it is really related? Is there one on the side of the Xu family's well?
Zhan Zhao looked at Bai Yutang.
Fifth Master shook his head - I didn't pay attention that day, but the Xu family's well was quite dilapidated.
Zhan Zhao recalled that there seemed to be no leaves on the stone he picked up from the well.
After standing for a while, several people returned to the front yard.
Zhao Pu had almost finished chatting with the old man, so he stood up and left.
…
After leaving the Prince's Mansion, Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang said they wanted to go to Xu's house again to see if there were any leaves on the well wall.
Zhao Pu also wanted to follow.
Pang Yu didn't want to go, so he ran to the old house in the dark to see the haunted well, but the young marquis was scared to go back alone, and the others didn't feel at ease, so they took him with them.
There was no one in the Xu family's old house at night, and it was dark and quiet all around.
Zhan Zhao took the key with him and opened the door. The old wooden door creaked.
Pang Yu trembled, hid behind Zhao Pu, grabbed the Ninth Prince's sleeve, and tripped over the threshold when he entered.
…
Walking into the yard, Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang searched around the well.
Zhao Pu helped to hold a lantern and stood beside him. Pang Yu looked around. The ruins of an old house that was not to be demolished were the most terrifying. The doors and windows were all dark. As long as he was alert, he felt that there was everything inside...
Pang Yu saw Zhao Pu walking aside and quickly followed him...
After taking two steps, I kicked down a stone at my feet...
As luck would have it, the stone rolled to the edge of the well and fell right through the missing hole... with a pop.
Following the sound of water, everyone was stunned.
Zhan Zhao raised his head and looked at Bai Yutang - did I hear correctly?
Bai Yutang shook his head - I heard it too!
Zhao Pu reached out and lifted up the wooden board covering the well.
Everyone lowered their heads and saw... Good guy! There is water in the well!
Zhao Pu lifted the lantern above the well. Below was a normal well, and the water level was not low.
Both Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang were confused - it was clearly an empty well during the day, where did the water come from?
Zhan Zhao threw another golden inner force into the water, and Bai Yutang also let Shark go down again.
As a result, there was still nothing under the water, and there were no holes or doors on the walls of the well on all sides.
At this time, Pang Yu pointed to the well and said, "There are leaves here too, but half of them are left, and the other half is covered by cracks."
Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang also lowered their heads to look.
Sure enough, there is also a leaf carved here.
Zhao Pu crossed his arms and thought, "So is there some kind of connection between the three wells?"
Everyone nodded.
"There should be more than three." Zhan Zhao thought about what Pang Yu said just now, that there was also one in the woods behind Baiji Garden.
But it was too late now. Pang Yu was frightened by coming to the old house in the middle of the night. It would be a bit unkind to drag him into the woods now...
And even if we know that there are leaf carvings around the well, we don't know what the connection is.
Zhan Zhao thought for a while and decided to go back and discuss it with the "big smart guys" at home.
Everyone walked out, Pang Yu followed at the end, and conveniently covered the wooden board used to seal the well mouth.
The moment the wellhead was covered, Pang Yu was suddenly startled... because just now, something white seemed to be shaking under the water...
Pang Yu realized that the manhole cover had been closed, so he subconsciously took a step back and dropped the lantern in his hand.
Zhan Zhao picked it up for him and asked him, "What's wrong?"
"Well...it seems like..."
Bai Yutang immediately reached out and opened the manhole cover.
When everyone looked inside, there was still nothing inside.
Everyone looked at Pang Yu—what did they see?
Pang Yu scratched his head, not entirely sure, "Maybe it's an illusion... I saw a white thing passing by in a flash, like a piece of white silk."
In fact, at this moment, Zhan Zhao's internal energy in the water has not completely dissipated, and he can still see clearly from the well, and there is nothing white.
Pang Yu shook his head - hallucination?
Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang both said that he had seen it wrong, so they pulled him out.
Zhao Pu closed the lid and looked at each other with Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang... The three of them said that Pang Yu was wrong, but in fact they were trying to comfort him to prevent him from thinking wildly. In fact, all three of them felt that Pang Yu was not wrong.
Wrong.
If Pang Yu was the only one who saw it, it might be an illusion, but the girl from Baozipu also mentioned that there was a woman in the well. I asked the girl to describe it in detail, but she couldn't explain clearly, so she just said
Wearing white clothes... It was such a coincidence that Pang Yu saw white silk again. The skull before belonged to a woman... It was such a coincidence that it was worth studying.
…
Back in Kaifeng Mansion, everyone originally wanted to discuss things with the Demon King, but as soon as they entered the courtyard, they saw that it was very lively...
Liang Chenmei and Xiao Fang are practicing again and are playing kicking with the White Dragon King.
Several old men were sitting at the table drinking tea and chatting. Lin Yehuo and Zou Liang were beating sticks into the ground, looking like they were erecting a fence.
Zhao Pu used to tell the kids to stop practicing, how much should they practice in a day, and to balance work and rest.
Gongsun held a tea cup and nodded to the side, saying that his mouth was dry and he was not disobedient!
Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang went over to see what the fourth son was doing.
They saw Lin Yehuo and Zou Liang building a fence in an open space in the yard. The fourth child was sitting on a small bench, feeding the rabbits with vegetable leaves. There were many rabbits raised in the fence.
Zhan Zhao was puzzled and asked, "Where did so many rabbits come from?"
The fourth son said, "Before going to Black Wind City last year, didn't dad buy a few pairs of rabbits to test the medicine?"
To be continued...
