Chapter 221 There is an old well in the west of the village
Fengjia Village.
In the courtyard of the feudal Ming Dynasty old house, there is a crooked-neck tree. Under the shade of the tree is a slightly worn-out maroon square low table. There are seven or eight dishes on the table, all of which are cooked with local materials. It is absolutely delicious.
Green and healthy, no pollution and no pollution.
There were four people sitting around the square table. In addition to Feng Jianming, Feng Guang and Jiang Muyang, there was also an old man.
The old man was wearing an old-fashioned Chinese tunic suit, with a slightly thin figure. He was sitting on a small bench with his waist hunched over. His face had ridges and ridges, and there were many age spots. He had a goatee that fell to his chest, and his beard and hair were all white.
His two eyes were very cloudy, and the eyeballs could not be seen at all, as if there was a gray film blocking his eyes.
People in Fengjia Village, no matter old or young, would respectfully call him "Blind Master".
Although the blind man is blind, he is the oldest and longest-lived old man in Fengjia Village. In a few years, he will be able to unlock the achievement of "living a hundred years".
"Dayang, I have to offer you a toast first. Could you please come all the way here?" Feng Guang raised his wine glass.
"Brother, don't be so polite."
Jiang Muyang smiled, raised his glass, clinked it with Feng Guang, drank the wine in one gulp, and then said: "You said on the phone that something weird happened, what on earth was it?
"
Feng Guang also raised his neck and drank the wine in the glass, then sighed and said: "This matter really shattered my world view completely. Dayang, you know that I am an atheist, but this paragraph
I really can’t think of any other explanation for what happened in Time Village other than gods and ghosts.”
Jiang Muyang nodded slowly to show that he was listening.
Feng Guang continued: "There is a well at the west entrance of our village. It used to be the main source of drinking water in the village. The village has suffered several severe droughts, and the well has never dried up. About ten years ago, the village
Tap water is available…”
"It was eighteen years ago."
At this moment, the blind old man suddenly spoke up.
Don't look at the blind old man's eyesight, but his ears are very sharp, he is not an old fool, and he has a very good memory.
Feng Jianming poured wine for the blind old man, and then said: "The blind old man is right. It was eighteen years ago, when Xiaoguang was still young. After every household had running water, there was no one in that old well.
Use it again."
"Originally everything was normal and nothing unusual happened, but three nights ago, something very strange suddenly happened."
"It was in the middle of the night, about two o'clock, when there was a loud noise in the west of the village, which startled all the dogs in the village and started barking like crazy. I was also woken up at that time, and I got up to check, and I saw a very loud noise in the west.
A bright beam of light shot up into the sky, reaching an unknown height."
"I called Guangnun and went over to check. We followed the light beam to the west entrance of the village and found that the light beam came from the old well. But when we were about ten meters away from the old well, we suddenly couldn't see the light beam. We took a step back.
You can see it, but if you take another step forward, you can no longer see it. It seems that the light beam can only be seen from a certain range."
Feng Guang's expression was serious, as if he was a little scared, and he added: "I took a look into the well at that time, but I didn't see anything except a vast expanse of white. I also picked up a stone and threw it down, and there was no sound at all.
Noise. But I don’t know why, I always feel as if there is a pair of eyes staring at me from below, which gives me a creepy feeling."
Hearing this, Jiang Muyang frowned slightly, but his eyes were unusually bright.
Could it be...that thing?
If it is really that thing, it is really a coincidence.
At this time, the blind man stroked his beard and said slowly: "In our Fengjia Village, there was a legend circulating a long time ago, saying that there was a Dragon King who was demoted to earth by the heaven because he made a bet with others and cast clouds and rain at will to change the weather.
Suddenly, he fell into the well at the west entrance of the village and became the Well Dragon King. It is precisely because of the blessing of the Well Dragon King that our Fengjia Village has been able to have good weather for so many years."
"Master Blind, it's just a legend. Maybe you are the only one who still remembers it now." Feudal Ming said with a smile.
"What do you little brats know!" The blind man took out his pipe, knocked it on the leg of the stool, put it in his mouth, and said: "Legends, many times are not just legends, there must be some evil behind them.
Reasons for people to know.”
"Yes, yes, the blind master is very knowledgeable."
Feng Jianming was not angry at all. In front of the blind master, who in the entire Fengjia Village was not a "little brat"?
He took out a lighter and wanted to light a cigarette for the blind man.
But the blind old man waved his hand, took out the match from his coat pocket, rubbed it to catch fire, lit the tobacco leaves, and took a deep breath, feeling like a fairy.
Feng Jianming and Feng Guang did not take this legend seriously, but Jiang Muyang's expression was a bit strange.
Well Dragon King?
If his guess is correct, it actually has a vague corresponding meaning to this mythical legend.
"In the past few days, did the same situation happen every night at around two o'clock?" Jiang Muyang asked.
"That's right, last night and the night before, both at the same time, there was a loud noise, and then a beam of light, which lasted until dawn." Feng Guang nodded.
"Okay, I roughly understand it. After dinner, I'll go over and take a look in person." Jiang Muyang said slowly.
Then, he waved to Mengmeng and said: "Mengmeng, come over for dinner."
"Coming~"
Mengmeng responded with a clear voice, then ran over and threw herself into Jiang Muyang's arms.
The little girl's face was flushed, her eyes were full of excitement, and she couldn't wait to share with daddy: "Daddy, daddy, there are two little yellow chickens there. They are only a little bit big, and they still stagger when they walk.
.”
As she said that, Mengmeng raised her hand and made a gesture.
Well, it is really small.
Mengmeng saw the chicks for the first time. She was very curious and said excitedly: "Mengmeng even gave them names, one is called 'Gugu' and the other is called 'Chirp'. Dad, I also want to talk to Gugu."
I'm playing with Ji Ji and I don't want to eat."
Jiang Muyang said helplessly: "Mengmeng, it's lunch time now, and the mother chicken also wants to take the baby chickens to eat. If you keep pestering them to play, the mother chicken will be anxious."
"Okay then, I'll play with them after dinner." Mengmeng pouted and nodded.
"That's right, sit down obediently."
Jiang Muyang gently rubbed Mengmeng's little head.
Mengmeng sat obediently on the small bench next to her, but the little girl still couldn't help but look back and secretly glance at the two new friends.
Seeing this, Feng Guang said: "Mengmeng, you like the little yellow chickens so much, why don't you take them away when you go home."
"No." Mengmeng shook her head.
"Why?" Feng Guang asked.
The cute little face said seriously: "Gugu and Chirp will be very pitiful if they leave the mother hen, and the mother hen will be sad too. They are still children, and children should be with daddy and mommy."
Several adults laughed when they heard this.
Children's thinking is always simple and kind.
Jiang Muyang couldn't help but smile.
Although he doesn't mind spoiling his precious daughter into a unruly princess or a willful little witch, kindness cannot be lost.
After eating, Mengmeng ran to play with Gugu and Jiji.
Jiang Muyang did not disturb Mengmeng's interest, so he asked Feng Jianming to take care of the spot, while he and Feng Guang went to the west entrance of the village to check the old well.
