It’s amazing!
How did she know that he had something else to tell her?
It seems that this is indeed a master!
Lu Liang suddenly felt even more in awe of Lin Xi.
"Master, you have a good eye. I do have something I want to ask you. I want you to help us see if there is anything in the well in our hometown."
When he said this, fear was evident in Lu Liang's eyes.
Is there something in the well?
Lin Xi motioned for him to continue and explain in detail.
Seeing that she seemed quite interested, Lu Liang breathed a sigh of relief and quickly told her about the strange well in his hometown.
Lu Liang's hometown is in a rural area in the south. There, every household lives very close to each other.
Before tap water was introduced to the countryside, people there relied on drinking well water.
There are only two wells in their village, one at the head and one at the tail of the village.
Because most of the households in the village live at the village head, the well at the village head has the highest utilization rate.
People only go to the well at the end of the village to fetch water when there are many people drawing water from the well at the head of the village. They are too lazy to go there unless there is something else to do.
Previously, the well had been covered with stone slabs to prevent leaves and dust from falling into it due to the lack of people, so nothing had happened.
But just over ten years ago, when Lu Liang was still a few years old, a child somehow ran into that well and drowned.
When something like this happened in the village, naturally every household felt sad and regretful about it.
Children like to play in the water, are brave, and don’t have much ability to distinguish danger, so it is not surprising that they fall in.
As for how a child of a few years old moved the stone slab above the well, sometimes children have an inexplicable amount of strength, so it is hard to say.
The story ended with the family whose child died sadly burying the child.
But unexpectedly, a few years later, something went wrong with the well again.
This time the person who died was not a child, but an adult.
The deceased was an old lady. Although she was not young, she was very strong because she had been doing farm work all year round.
I heard from her family that she went to the well at the end of the village to fetch water.
The weather was hot during that period, and everyone's water consumption increased significantly. There were many people queuing up to draw water from the well at the entrance of the village that day. The old lady was impatient and couldn't wait, so she finally carried the bucket to the end of the village to fetch water.
Although a child had drowned in that well before, it had been a few years and the water quality was definitely fine. The reason why everyone was unwilling to fetch water from the well at the end of the village was simply because they couldn't get over the hurdle in their hearts.
After all, just thinking about the fact that someone had drowned in the water before, no matter how clear and clean the water was, they would feel uncomfortable. It felt like they were using the water that had been used to wash someone else's corpse.
The old lady probably thought that she was not going to drink the water, but only wanted to use it for bathing and washing clothes, so it didn't have much of an impact.
But unexpectedly, when he went to fetch water, he fell into the well.
As soon as this happened, the people in the village couldn't help but start to grumble.
Is there something wrong with those two people or with the well?
People died all of a sudden.
As for the little kid falling down earlier, everyone thought it was understandable.
After all, children are ignorant, and it is easy for something to happen if adults don’t give them repeated warnings or even keep an eye on them.
But the one who died later was an old lady with rich life experience.
He had lived a stable life for almost sixty years without any incident. How come he fell into a well while fetching water?
After thinking about it this way, everyone still felt that there must be something wrong with the well.
So after the old lady died, the village chief immediately decided to cover the well at the end of the village so that no one would dig it anymore.
The villagers also realized the strangeness of the well, and they tried to avoid that place as much as possible when passing by the end of the village.
Maybe everyone was on guard and avoided the well, so nothing happened again.
It was not until society developed and their village had running water that people rarely went to the well to fetch water to drink.
As for the well at the end of the village, which had been abandoned for a long time, it was gradually forgotten by everyone.
䀴At this moment, when the villagers passed by the well at the end of the village, they suddenly found that the stone slab covering the well had been moved away again.
At the same time, there seemed to be a cry for help coming from the well.
At first, the few people passing by were just surprised and confused, wondering if someone else had fallen into the well.
But just as they were hesitating whether to go over and take a look, a man in his forties in the crowd suddenly turned pale and said in horror.
"That voice, that voice seems to be my mother's voice?"
The mother he was talking about was the old lady who fell into the well a few years ago.
When the other people heard this, they didn't even bother to check the situation. Their faces changed drastically and they ran away in unison.
How could we still hear her voice when the person was dead? Moreover, she was shouting for help. Wasn't it obvious that she was trying to lure them over?
What did they do in the past? Maybe it was just to make them scapegoats!
Moreover, her son ran faster than them, so it was even less likely that they would stay.
After this incident, the villagers avoided the well even more, and would even change their expressions when the well was accidentally mentioned.
Of course, Lu Liang was not a good man. He wanted to be a hero and solve the problem of the well for the sake of all the villagers. But he was planning to get married next year and needed a new house, so he asked the village to approve a piece of land. Fortunately, that piece of land was at the end of the village.
Although the land was still nearly fifty meters away from the well, that distance was not enough. What if there really was that thing in the well and it came out, wouldn't he be the first victim?
But if you want to apply for land elsewhere, you can't get it. There is not so much land in the village, and some of it has already been occupied by others.
Lu Liang was thinking about demolishing the old house and then renovating it, but at this time he heard Lin Xi's name, and then he learned from some nearby neighbors about Lin Xi's deeds of helping people solve problems, and he was instantly moved.
If Lin Xi could solve this problem, his family wouldn't have to worry about postponing the construction of a new house.
Moreover, the scenery and environment of the new house are actually quite good. Building a two-story small house is just like a mountain villa.
After listening to Lu Liang's talk, Lin Xi suddenly asked him a question.
"The child who died earlier and the old lady, are they related?"
Lu Liang replied subconsciously: "That little boy is the old lady's grandson."
In other words, they are grandparents and grandchildren.
Does it matter?
