Chapter 77 The Voice in the Well (Please subscribe, please vote)
Seeing the petite girl in the photo, He Wenzhi's heart skipped a beat, and then he remembered something.
I remember when I was talking about her past with Han Yumeng, she seemed to have mentioned that her grandmother lived in a village near Chunshi.
She seemed to have mentioned the name of the village at that time, but she didn’t remember it carefully when asked. Later she mentioned something else and did something else, and forgot about it.
It wasn’t until early in the morning that I saw Wang Dao’s long hair and came to locate him, so I felt so slightly familiar.
"So, Han Yumeng's grandma lives in this house?" He Wenzhi thought to himself.
If this is the case, that thin middle-aged man should be Han Yumeng’s long-missing father, right?
The reason why Han Yumeng has such a cute little stature is probably because she inherited it from her father.
With this thought in his mind, He Wenzhi raised his hand and was about to knock on the door.
If the owner of this house is indeed Grandma Han Yumeng, then the next thing will be easier to handle.
After all, he and Han Yumeng are so familiar.
At this moment, a shadow suddenly appeared in the crack of the door.
It was an old man's face, wrinkled, with his back to the light, just past the crack of the door, looking a little scary.
[Mental Power +1]
In this dark and silent environment, the only crack in the door was lit, but a wrinkled old man's face suddenly appeared. He Wenzhi was also taken aback.
After being exposed to ghosts for so long, it was a long time since he was frightened and his mental power increased.
Even the black dog was frightened and took a step back, unable to help barking.
"Young man, what are you sneaking around in front of my house and looking at?" the old man said suddenly.
He Wenzhi adjusted his mood and smiled: "Hello, I'm from Chunshi. Are you Han Yumeng's grandma?"
The old man is loose. His eyelids raised: "Do you know Mengmeng?"
"We know each other." He Wenzhi nodded: "We are friends."
"She asked you to come see me?"
"No." He Wenzhi thought to himself, this should be it Han Yumeng's grandmother.
So he said: "I have a friend here, so I came to take a look. Then I happened to hear Han Yumeng say that her grandma lives here, so..."
"Oh, since you are Mengmeng's friend, let's come in." The old man opened the door.
After entering the house, you can hear the crackling sound of fire, which is the sound of sparks exploding in the stove.
The lights in the room are not very bright, they are older incandescent lamps that emit yellow light.
The ground is also uneven dirt, pitch black, and I don’t know what kind of soil it is made of. When you walk on it, you feel cold even through the soles of your shoes.
As a result, the whole room seemed very dark.
There is a low table next to the stove, with a bowl of hot noodles on it.
I think the old man just heard the noise outside, so he came over to take a look.
After coming in, the old man sat back and continued eating noodles, and He Wenzhi looked at the photo carefully.
He thought for a moment, what should he call this old man?
She is Han Yumeng's grandma. She and Han Yumeng are only one year apart, and they are still friends. Now they live together, so do they have to be called grandma?
With this thought in mind, why asked: "Grandma, when was this photo taken?"
"Grandma?" The old man stopped the chopsticks in his hand and looked up at He Wenzhi: "Are you Mengmeng's boyfriend?"
"No." He Wenzhi shook his head.
"Then what is your relationship?"
"Friends?"
"No more?"
"No more."
"Then what have you done?"
He Wenzhi thought about it and found that he didn't seem to have done anything?
If you say that you have been taken care of by Han Yumeng when it comes to eating, it seems a bit awkward to say it, right?
She is my grandma after all.
So he said: "I haven't done anything, just eat and chat together occasionally. We happen to be neighbors, and she doesn't like to go out, so that's all."
"They are neighbors." The old man raised his head, looked at He Wenzhi up and down, and suddenly said: "Are you hungry?"
The topic jumped a bit fast, which made people a little overwhelmed.
But I really didn’t eat much today, so He Wenzhi simply nodded.
"Then wait for me here, and I'll pick some vegetables and make you a bowl of noodles." After saying that, the old man stood up.
He Wenzhi walked up and supported the old man: "Grandma, don't bother me. I'll just finish the clear soup noodles."
The old man raised his head and patted the hand that He Wenzhi was holding on to.
"No trouble, just wait for me in the house, I can go by myself."
Her tone was undeniable, and she walked out after saying that.
The black dog has been staying outside the door. Seeing that the old man was going to the vegetable field at night, he looked at He Wenzhi and went with the old man.
Not long after, the old lady came back with a handful of green vegetables. While the fire in the stove was still burning, she added some more firewood, and then ordered a bowl of green vegetable noodles.
"There are no good things in the countryside. You are from the city, so you won't mind it, right?" The old man said, "By the way, what's your name?"
"My name is He Wenzhi said his name first, and then said politely: "I don't dislike it, I definitely don't dislike it!"
He Wenzhi ate a bowl of noodles in three strokes. , and drank all the noodle soup.
Seeing him eating so happily, the wrinkles on the old man's face also relaxed a little.
"Do you still want to eat?" she asked.
"No, no, no." He Wenzhi shook his head: "One bowl is enough."
The old man looked at He Wenzhi quietly, and He Wenzhi also looked at her. .
Just when He Wenzhi was about to start asking, the old man said first: "That photo was taken when Mengmeng was ten years old."
She looked up at the three of them. The group photo seems to be reminiscing.
"At that time, her father would occasionally come back a few times... Sigh. Speaking of which, Mengmeng was also a poor child. Her mother died not long after she was born, and now her father has disappeared again...
This child , I haven’t had a good life since I was a child.
Well, since you and Mengmeng are neighbors, if she is in trouble, you have to help her.”
He asked: "..."
What the hell is this called?
"Grandma, just ask me to ask."
"Oh, okay." The old man said, "Ask me, has Mengmeng encountered any trouble recently?"
He Wenzhi put his hands on the table and said, "Grandma, why do you ask that?"
This village is very strange, and this was the most obvious feeling that He Wenzhi had tonight.
The night was heavy, there was no sun, moon or starlight, and the village was completely silent, not even the chirping of frogs or insects was heard.
It's obviously surrounded by mountains and forests on all sides, so how could there be a shortage of those?
In such a strange environment, Han Yumeng's grandmother still lives alone in this village.
In particular, Han Yumeng told He Wenzhi that her good-natured grandma suddenly lost her temper and asked her not to come to the village to see her again.
Does this mean that something went wrong in this village from that time on?
Is this necessary otherwise?
Moreover, if something really went wrong, why didn’t grandma leave when she knew about it?
Is it because she can't leave?
He Wenzhi was not going to be secretive anymore. The grandma in front of him must be hiding something.
"Grandma, do you know something?" He Wenzhi looked at her and asked: "I came here this time to find that friend of mine.
I I heard what the old man over there said. When he came here, he stayed at your place for two days, right?”
"Is he a Taoist priest?"
"Yes." He Wenzhi nodded.
"That's it. He did stay at my place for two days, but he left the evening before yesterday."
"Grandma, do you know where he went?"
“I don’t know, I don’t even know why he left suddenly.”
"Grandma, is the village haunted!?"
As soon as she heard this, the old woman's expression suddenly changed, and she covered He Wenzhi's mouth.
"Young people are impulsive! You can't talk nonsense here! And it's night, you say those things at night, and those things are listening...!"
"Where are they?" He Wenzhi opened his eyes. Since it was certain that there were ghosts, all he had to do was figure out where they were.
Grandma shook her head: "Can't say, can't say..."
"Grandma, tell me, this is what I came here for this time! Just tell me, and I will tell you about Han Yumeng too!"
Grandma suddenly fell silent. After a while, she said: "I advised that Taoist priest to leave quickly, but he didn't listen.
Later that night, the thing seemed to come, and the Taoist priest also disappeared at that time..."
"That thing?"
"It was that woman..." Grandma hesitated for a long time. , and then said: "Ask me, do you know the legend of this village?
It is said that this place was not called Guangming Village before, but was called Taoyuan Village. People here live and work in peace and contentment, have enough food and clothing, and have no worries about food and drink. Even those in the city envy Taoyuan Village and want to live such a life. Since then, outsiders have continued to join Taoyuan Village, and that woman just wanted to find Taoyuan Village.
It’s just that no one in Taoyuan Village has actually encountered it, and there are no relevant documents. It’s just rumors circulating in the village. "
Grandma thought for a while and said, "Perhaps it was because of the famine that year that there was a fantasy place like Taoyuan Village..."
He Wenzhi thought in his mind, Judging from these, it seems that the woman was the one who died during the famine.
Is it because she experienced something like that that she wanted to enter the Taoyuan Village that only existed in a dream?
Grandma continued: "Ask me, I know that the purpose of your coming here is to save your friend, but if your friend is really targeted by that woman, I am afraid it will be in serious danger..."
Following that, she also hurriedly asked about Han Yumeng.
He Wenzhi said that Han Yumeng did encounter some things, but they were all resolved and he is now safe.
Grandma nodded, seeming to believe He Wenzhi very much.
At this moment, there was a sudden sound outside the house.
Tick...tick...
The sound of water drops suddenly sounded, and the sound came from a very far away place, but it seemed extremely clear.
Under the dim light in the room, He Wenzhi and his grandma turned to look at the same time.
It’s the well in the village!
At this moment, grandma’s face completely changed.
She pushed He Wenzhi and said: "Let's go back quickly! You can leave as soon as it's dawn! The Taoist priest can't be saved. If he's really targeted, there's no way he can be saved!
That woman is too strong ! We will not be her opponent! Even the whole village cannot be her opponent! Because of her, many people in the village have died...
Mengmeng has suffered a lot since she was a child. There is a lack of fire again. The reason why her father disappeared is to find a solution.
You helped me just now. I know you were testing me.
You have strong Yang Fire. , is something I have never seen before, and her energy and blood are even hotter and thicker! As long as you are here, as long as Mengmeng stays by your side, maybe it can make up for the shortcomings in her numerology.
If you ask, leave quickly and go back to that person's house. The black dog will protect you.
When you get home, you quickly lock the door. No matter what noise you hear outside at night, even if someone knocks on the door, you don’t have any reaction. Just sleep quietly!
As soon as it gets light, leave here immediately and don’t look back! ”
Speaking, the old lady pushed He Wenzhi out forcefully, and at the same time patted the black dog’s butt.
The black dog did have some spirituality, as if he understood grandma He had the same meaning, and guarded He Wenzhi tightly, his green eyes shining brightly in the night.
He Wenzhi glanced at his grandma, thinking of the unusually quiet village tonight, and he seemed to have thought of something.
But he did not speak, but stared at the well.
His eyes gradually brightened.
There seems to be something really in that well...
I had diarrhea today. I have been having diarrhea for a whole day and I feel very uncomfortable. It’s all because I ate two crabs yesterday...I will never eat them again. Don't eat it... People with bad gastrointestinal problems must not eat it. Crabs are cold in nature and will cause diarrhea if the stomach is not good for you...
