Chapter 269: The Unknown Old Well
[Thank you for the reward: elyzhou10000]
"At night?" Although Wu Hua looked tall and thick, she was a little scared when she heard this sentence.
She looked up and down at Chen Zhi, Pang Wei, Ghost Sword and Liu Baobao who were traveling with them, and then said directly,
"It's better not to spend the night~~
There are a lot of things to do in our mountains, so it would be inappropriate for a girl like me to take you up the mountain in the middle of the night, as you will also be gossiped about."
"Don't worry, big girl~~",
Fat Wei hurriedly went up and gave her a reassurance.
"We are all serious people, I can show you our IDs~",
After Fat Wei finished speaking, he took out his fake press pass.
"You see, we are all reporters from the TV station! We are cultural people, and we are here to collect news.
Isn’t national culture popular recently? We want to move all the folk customs and customs here to TV.
When the time comes, I'll give you a close-up, girl, and you might become a star in the future.
Think about it, we are all people with status, even if we have bad intentions, we don’t dare come here to commit trouble!
Besides, this village is full of your fellow villagers, if anything happens, won’t they beat us to death?”
This Wu Hua seems to be quite kind, but I didn't expect that she is not a vegetarian.
She first took Fat Wei's press pass and looked at it carefully, touched the steel seal on it, then raised her eyebrows, spat in disdain, and tore it up casually.
"Bah! What on earth are you doing! You dare to come here with fake certificates to deceive people. This shows that you are not a good person.
Let's go, let's go to the township police station with me." After Wu Hua finished speaking, she was unambiguous and really took Fat Wei's arm and pulled it out.
"Sister, don't think too much!" Chen Zhi came to the rescue,
"This friend of mine loves to joke!
It is true that he made that press card for fun, but he is definitely not a liar.
We are not journalists, but we are here to have our own business, which has nothing to do with you.
I promise that I will never put you in danger. If you are really worried, you can ask a fellow villager to accompany us up there."
"you……",
After Wu Hua heard these two words from Chen Zhi, she was no longer as hostile as before, but she still had some fear on her face.
"You're not digging up dead people's bones, are you?
Let me tell you, you are looking in the wrong place. There is really nothing here.
People like you have been here a few years ago, and they stayed here for a year before leaving. In the end, they didn't touch anything.
I heard from my grandma that the general’s tomb was actually a fake. Some people in our village went treasure hunting in the early years.
More than a dozen tomb holes have been exposed underneath, and not a single valuable thing has been given away. Now even a mouse would shed tears if he entered it! Nothing valuable is gone!"
"Oh, big sister! Where did you think we were? Who do you think we are?",
Fat Wei immediately explained seriously,
"I was talking nonsense just now! Now it's time for me to show my true identity.
To be honest, we both make horror films. I am the director and the person next to me is the assistant director.
We came out just to capture the scenery for future movie shooting. We didn’t feel scared during the day, so we went into the mountains in the middle of the night.
Big sister, don’t think too much about it, what do you think this is?”
After Fat Wei finished speaking, he stepped over, took out a wad of hard currency, and stuffed it into Wu Hua's hand.
As expected, money can make all the difference. Wu Hua obviously didn't believe Pang Wei's nonsense, but he weighed the money in his hand and nodded in agreement.
But the old girl said that it was absolutely not allowed to go into the mountains when it was completely dark. People in the village were very conservative. If she was seen going into the mountains with a few men, she would not be able to get married in the future.
It's already past three o'clock in the afternoon, so there's no need to cook anything. I just drink a pot of hot tea in the house and then I'm ready to go.
It gets dark relatively early in the mountains. After entering the mountains, the sky becomes a little dark.
Wu Hua said that he went to college in the city and majored in hosting. Although he didn't look good, he spoke Mandarin very well.
Along the way, he showed off to Chen Zhi and others about the legends and customs of this place.
This is indeed a good place for an emperor, a geomantic treasure, a place with outstanding people, and a place to raise dragons everywhere. Even the trees and vegetation here seem to be more lush than elsewhere.
After entering the mountain and walking not far, there is a small forest in front of us. Through the forest, we can see the ruins of the ruined temple.
It is said to be a ruins, but in fact it is a real ruins.
Looking around, there were broken stones all over the place, a mess, many of them had been smashed deliberately, and they looked dilapidated.
However, the foundation on the ground is well preserved...
For those who often visit ancient buildings, they understand some of the patterns of ancient buildings.
They immediately saw the original structure of the building…
Sure enough, there was an extremely ancient building here. From the condition of the ground, it can be seen that there was a main hall and east and west side halls.
The space in the main hall is very large, and extremely tall statues of gods should have been enshrined in it.
After passing through the main hall, you will see a stone well covered with green vegetation shortly after walking inward.
The mouth of the well was empty, with steam rising from it, and a wooden barrel was thrown next to it. The wood was covered with green moss and would probably fall apart if touched.
It must have been a long, long time since anyone used it.
Chen Zhi walked over and scraped away the green vegetation on it with a dagger, revealing the stone platform of the stone well.
These stone bricks are very old, and they are not made using the current brick-burning method, nor are the splicing adhesives used, nor are they ordinary handcraftsmanship.
Chen Zhi had seen this method of laying bricks in the tomb of the gods. It had a seamless appearance and was unbreakable.
It can be said that although this stone well looks gray and inconspicuous now, even if it is blown up with tons of explosives, it probably won't be able to explode.
The water in the well was steaming out, and there was a splashing sound. When I looked down, there was indeed water in it!
Wu Hua told them that this well has been here since their ancestors. In the early years, there was a pavilion built on the well and a cover on the well mouth.
When she was a child, she often went up to the mountains to play. When she opened the wooden cover of the well, the water in the well was clear and translucent. At that time, she scooped the water up and drank it. It was sweet, delicious, cold and refreshing, even better than the soda pop today.
But now no one has used it for a long time, so it has gradually fallen into disuse. Even Wu Hua himself has not drunk it for a long time...
Chen Zhi shined his flashlight downwards and could clearly see the internal structure.
The well wall is not vertical up and down. There are large rocks on it, and the structure is a bit weird, like a ladder going down.
Chen Zhi thought the structure was suspicious and wanted to go down and see if anyone could walk down, but Wu Hua stopped him.
"What are you doing down there?
I tell you, you must not go down into this well, the rocks are very slippery, be careful not to come back!"
"I'm just giving it a try~", Chen Zhi said, still continuing to jump down.
"No!" Wu Hua still held on to Chen Zhi very insistently.
"Let me tell you, this well is very evil. Everyone in our village knows that you must not go into this well.
Do you think you are the first person to discover that the rocks in this well can be climbed?
During the drought years, some people in our village went down to the wells to collect water, but they never came up.
This well looks like nothing on the surface, but I don’t know why, but if you fall in, you will drown!
I..., my fiancé, who was engaged since childhood, fell into this place and died.
