The ancient well stands at the foot of the mountain, surrounded by dense vegetation and lush greenery. Only the area around the ancient well is bare and trampled by villagers carrying water, which is very eye-catching.

"Someone must have lived here before, otherwise there is no way to explain the sudden appearance of such an ancient well."

Brother Yaozi suddenly said: "Look at this small mountain col, the land is fertile and the scenery is pleasant. It is a good place to live in a house, but there is no water source. This well may have been laid under such circumstances, but

As time has passed, things and people have changed, and all traces of habitation have disappeared, leaving only this ancient well."

"Don't worry about these things for now, hurry up, now is the best time, even if there is some brother in the well, you have to restrain yourself under the sun!"

I urged, took out a bottle of water, took a deep sip, and handed it to Xiaozhi next to me. The little girl was very strong. She endured all the sins with us without even a single cry. Her little mouth was full of curled dick.

Skin.

In this damn season, there is no place where people can live as soon as noon arrives, even in the mountains. The grasshoppers hibernating in the woods are constantly screaming under the sun. Zhang Xinya, who always loves to be clean, has a greasy and red face.

The gleaming faces under the sun, not to mention a few of us, are not sweating at all, but refining human oil!

I had already taken off my camouflage clothes, and I was shirtless. My back was covered in mosquito bites, and the soles of my feet kept slipping in my thick boots. I didn’t even need to take off my shoes to smell how overbearing the smell was. I saw that I was in the right place.

I don't want to waste a moment in the wilderness, so I dive down first.

The ancient well was completely made up of square stones. It looked like it had been there for some years, and the water inside had indeed dried up. I took a look inside and saw that instead of the normal coolness at the wellhead, there was a sultry moisture hitting my face.

Come, although there is no water, the well is still very humid overall. In this weather, it is no different from a steamer inside.

Lao Bai squatted by the well and observed it for a moment, then said with a smile: "Ah, this well is amazing, it's a treasure!"

Xiaozhi laughed at Lao Bai's money obsession.

Lao Bai did not feel dissatisfied, shook his head and said: "This well is from the Tang Dynasty, it is an ancient relic!"

I was helping Brother Yaozi wind up the rope for going down the well. I became interested when I heard this, so I smiled and asked him where he saw it.

"Look carefully at the stones at the mouth of the well."

Lao Bai wiped off the loess around the wellhead with his sleeve. It was full of traces of time, but he could still vaguely see that the stones at the wellhead had been carved. It seemed that the person who dug the well had some background.

Lao Bai carefully observed it for a moment and said that what was carved on it was a picture of the Eight Immortals Crossing the Sea. The patterns and text were all recessed. This was a typical incised carving. Look at the picture of the Eight Immortals Crossing the Sea again. It was very delicate and expressive, especially some details.

It is quite in place, just like a line drawing in a painting. It uses a large number of incised thin lines and combines short inverted lines to express the concave and convex surfaces of clothing, accessories and yin and yang. Such carving skills can only be achieved by the skilled craftsmen of the Tang Dynasty. That is

In the peak era of stone carving, after the Tang Dynasty, no such skill existed in either the Song or Ming Dynasty, let alone the Yuan Dynasty and Qing Dynasty...

I nodded and just listened to it as a novelty while I was busy working. I didn’t take it too seriously. I just waited for the rope to be finished, sat at the edge of the well and rested for a while, then wrapped the rope around my waist and let the kite fly.

Brother put the rope on it, and then used his hands and feet to support the walls of the well on both sides and slid down the well little by little.

The well is very deep. When I shine a flashlight into it, it's completely dark and I can't see clearly. The smell inside is very unpleasant. The water in the well has dried up. The mud below seems to have fermented in the sultry weather. Instead, it becomes thicker.

There was a fishy smell, and the sides of the well wall were covered with moss. It was greasy to the touch, and the touch was not really good. I held the flashlight in my mouth and kept looking down at the situation below.

Gradually, the beam of the flashlight was no longer dark, and there was some faint light reflected back...

"Bottom out!"

I breathed a sigh of relief. Those bright lights were from the water at the bottom of the well that had not completely evaporated. It looked like a muddy pond. If it was shined in a dark environment, there would always be some reflections. I used my hands and feet together to speed up. It seemed to me that

Come on, even if there is something weird, it must be dormant at the bottom of the well. All the attention is focused on the bottom, not paying attention to the situation on both sides of the well wall. When the bottom is not reached, the right foot suddenly kicks off!

!

To be precise, the shaft wall has reached the end here. I didn't notice it at all in advance. The consequences can be imagined. I exclaimed "Oh my God" and the whole person fell directly downward. At the critical moment, I heard Brother Yaozi above.

I roared angrily and quickly clamped the rope to slow down my fall. Even so, I finally had a close contact with the bottom of the well, and my whole body was slapped into the muddy pond...

…

"What's going on?"

Brother Yaozi's urgent voice came from above: "Jingzhe, are you okay?"

I spit out the stinky mud in my mouth and replied that it was okay. I was being held by Brother Kite when I fell. In addition, the bottom was full of mud, and the height of the fall was limited. It was only three or four meters at most. It was indeed a fall.

Not a bad person.

One hand pressed the Tianguan Blade that was held in his waist, and the other hand was stuck in the mud and groping randomly. After a while, he finally found the flashlight. After pulling it out, he found that it was almost completely covered in mud, so he could only use his hands.

I wiped it randomly twice, and although it was not wiped clean, bunches of light finally bloomed, illuminating everything around me.

What lay in front of me was a square cellar-like place, about a hundred or ten square meters, but it was extremely open. The well drilled straight to the top center of the cellar. No wonder I felt like it.

His foot was in the air and he fell straight down.

Lao Bai and Brother Yaozi kept asking about my situation.

The cellar was empty and there was no danger.

I raised my head and said loudly to them: "It's okay, come down. Damn it, my eyes have been opened today. I have never seen a well like this before. When other people dig wells, they just hit it all at once."

Underground, until the water comes out, this is good, there is a cave below, but I don’t know what it is? Is it a well or a cellar? "

After saying that, I stood up with difficulty and shook off all the mud on my face. When I just opened my eyes, the mud and water got into my eyes, which made my eyes sting.

Lao Bai and the others moved very quickly. With my reminder, none of them fell into the muddy pond. After a while, they all got down, just like bandits, wandering around here.

"Jingzhe, that's not right!"

Lao Bai suddenly turned around and said to me in a confused voice: "This damn well doesn't seem to be a well!"

I was busy rinsing my eyes with water, but before I had time to take a closer look at this place, I subconsciously asked him what it looked like.

"Like a tomb!!"

Brother Kite suddenly took out a black object from the muddy pond and threw it at my feet. He said with a dark face: "Look what this is!?"

I subconsciously picked up this thing, rinsed it with water in my hand, and found that it was a piece of dark wood.

"Gloomy Wood?"

I sniffed, this was a good thing, and then I reacted immediately. I stared at the piece of wood in my hand, and my expression became weirder the more I looked at it.

The wooden stick is round, like a rolling pin, and is about one foot three inches long.

This size, this shape of gloomy wood... it has only one function - to cushion the death of people!!

There is also an elegant name for this kind of wood in the industry, called bone-setting ruler!

People live for a breath, and people die when they die. However, some people in this world, perhaps due to congenital or acquired reasons, have become hunchbacks. According to the old saying, such people cannot lie flat, especially when they die, they are still rickets.

It is easy to hold a breath in the pit of your heart when you are lying down, and you will not be at peace after death, so someone invented this bone-setting ruler. After the hunchbacked dead person entered the coffin, he would put this thing under his neck to give it a good name.

Said to make the dead happy...

A bone-setting ruler has been found here. What else could it be if it wasn’t a tomb?

I was holding this thing in my hand, and I was shocked. I couldn't help but murmur to myself: "My dear, a good well turned out to be a tomb. Then the water that the villagers of Xia Village drink, isn't it...
