Che Kuai told Zhan Zhao and the others that when he saw the well, he opened the seal out of curiosity.

As a craftsman who is good at building carriages and horses, it is not that difficult to pry open the copper lock and remove the rivets. After struggling for about half an hour, the carriage opened the manhole cover.

Everyone asked, "What's in that well?"

Che Kuai shook his head, "There is nothing in the well."

Everyone frowned - why bother to seal it so hard?

"What I mean by saying nothing is that the well is completely dark and you can't see anything... If it's a well, you can always see the water surface, if it's a dry well, you can also see the bottom... But what about that well? It's not deep.

Bottom. In the darkness below the wellhead, there was wind blowing up. The wind had a cold feeling and a bit of earthy smell." Che Kuai said helplessly, "I didn't pay much attention to it at that time.

It’s almost evening, so I’ll go home for dinner and plan to come back when it gets brighter tomorrow morning.”

Bai Yutang asked him, "So you just drove the wellhead home?"

Che Kuai nodded, "Early the next morning, I found that some villagers nearby went out to search, saying that the livestock they raised at home were lost. I didn't think much about it, so I thought about bringing a lantern and went to the well at dawn to have a look.

Let’s see what’s in that well. But when I got to the well, I found some bloodstains at the mouth of the well. When I took a closer look... I found that there were strange large footprints on the ground beside the well. These footprints looked a bit like human feet, but

The footprints are very big, and the toes are very long... The footprints are divided into two rows, one row is from the edge of the well and is not bloody. The other row is from the outside towards the well mouth, and there is some blood."

Everyone was surprised when they heard what Che Kuai said, "In other words, some ferocious animal came out of the well, then went to the village to catch the livestock and brought it back to the well?"

Che Kuai nodded, "I felt something was wrong at that time... I quickly put the lid back on, nailed all the nails, and then locked the chain. In short, everything was restored to its original state."

Zhan Zhao thought about it and felt that the matter was not serious. Even though the villagers had lost a few livestock, they had stopped their losses in time, and no lives were lost anyway.

Of course, listening to what Che Kuai said, there is obviously a follow-up to the matter.

"After two more days, everything was fine, so I was relieved. But, after this happened, I was always thinking about that well." Che Kuai shook his head when he talked about this.

I was wondering at the time, if this is some kind of ferocious beast, this well should have been there for a long time. Animals in the well would starve to death in ten or twenty days, let alone ten or twenty years. I thought about it,

I doubt that well, but there is a dense forest near Kaifeng City? I thought about it for a few days and couldn’t figure out the reason, so I went to find Lao Chen again..."

Everyone was speechless. Che Kuai was really unsure about everything and turned to Lao Chen...

"Then what does Master Chen say?"

"Old Chen helped me look through the local gazetteers, and also found a lot of folklore, and even visited some local hunters... After asking around, there are no strange beasts near Kaifeng." Che Kuai said helplessly, "Old Chen was there at that time.

Tell me, 'If you still care about beasts that eat livestock, just take care of that ghost car.'"

"Didn't you fake your own death to get rid of the ghost car thing?" Zhan Zhao was puzzled.

"Let me tell you, even if I'm dead, what's my business here?" Che Kuai also couldn't laugh or cry, "Old Chen said, 'Why did you take off the head of that carriage when you're dead?"

Zhan Zhao and the others became more and more confused the more they listened.

"I asked around when I went out, good guy!" Che Kuai still thinks it's ridiculous when he thinks about it now, "It is said that the ghost car used to come out every few days, but this time it came out every night. And the horse's head and the human's head were gone.

, it is said that they are running around the city like headless flies. How can I bear this? In such a huge imperial city, no one dares to go out when it gets dark at night."

"So, you didn't chop off those four heads?" Everyone was surprised.

"Of course not... To be honest, I have never seen that ghost car before." Che Kuai spread his hands, "There were indeed many witnesses at the time, but most people had never seen it. They just heard about it and passed it around.

It makes people panic.”

Lin Yehuo and Bai Yutang both touched their chins - this was a bit strange.

Zhan Zhao speculated from the perspective of solving the case and asked, "Have you checked the missing people at that time? Isn't there another bank theft case? Could it be that the missing people jointly fabricated this lie for the purpose of

Even if you rob a bank and then fly away, the government won't be able to find any clues?"

Everyone nodded, feeling that this statement was quite reasonable.

"I also thought about many possibilities at the time. In addition to this possibility, there is also the possibility that the bank manager misappropriated the bank's money and deliberately made up lies. The witnesses and missing persons may have been robbed by him.

It was bought..." Che Kuai continued, "But at that time, I don't know why I always think of the well in the mountains of my home. I checked carefully, and it seems that the earliest time when the saying that the ghost car has no head appeared was in

The day after I opened the well."

Everyone listened to what Mr. Che said, "Do you suspect that the monster that came out of the well chopped off Gui Che's head?"

Che Kuai clicked his tongue, "It was also my unlucky fate. When I was asking around, I was recognized by an acquaintance... After that, rumors began to spread that I was not dead, and that I beheaded Gui Che in order to save my daughter.

Now, the ghost car is running around the world headless, seeking revenge on me."

Hearing this, everyone looked at Che Kuai with some sympathy - it was an innocent disaster.

"I thought at the time that this was not the way to go. Sooner or later, someone would find out. The top priority was to make the ghost car disappear, and secondly, I had to find a way to die again!"

"The ghost car did disappear later. How did you do it?" Bai Yutang asked curiously.

"Just...find Lao Chen..."

Everyone looked at him silently - Is Lao Chen your sleeping dragon and phoenix chick?

"I'm asking Old Chen to help me find someone to help." Che Kuai said, "Prince Zhong."

Zhan Zhao knew, "Is it the old prince Zhong Yue?"

Che Kuai nodded, "The prince was still young at the time. He was in charge of the Imperial City Army. He was relatively upright and had a good relationship with Lao Chen. The method is actually very simple. Since Gui Che comes out to cause trouble almost every night, then let the whole city put spies on it. This

Isn't it easy? The prince sent five thousand soldiers, divided into groups of five and one thousand, to stay in the streets and alleys of Kaifeng City. They slept during the day and patrolled the streets at night. Didn't those ghost cars come out every night?

, we can always meet him once."

Bai Yutang also thinks this is a way, "Sometimes the most direct and simple method is the most effective."

"Then the carriage appeared later?" Everyone was curious.

Che Kuai was silent for a while and said, "It appeared."

As soon as this statement came out, everyone was shocked.

Even the White Ghost King was surprised, "It really appeared? So it's not a rumor?"

Che Kuai nodded, "And it was seen by Prince Zhong with his own eyes."

Everyone asked Che Kuai for details, and Che Kuai said, "At midnight that day, Prince Zhong, who did not believe in evil, led his men to patrol the streets of the city... When passing the intersection near my old house, I heard a car and horse racing in the distance.

There was movement, and when he looked back... he saw a ball of green fire, rushing towards them quickly. He led his men to both sides to avoid it, and the ball of fire passed them by. Prince Zhong saw it clearly.

A car with a ghostly face pulled by two headless horses passed by them. There seemed to be someone in the car, but he didn't see it clearly because of the speed."

"That's it..." Zhan Zhao shook his head, "With the old prince's character, he shouldn't catch him alive?"

Che Kuai also smiled bitterly, "Isn't that right? Prince Zhong was born as a military general and is not afraid of anything. This time he will see something interesting. He has to catch the ghost car. If he wants to catch it, he can either ask a Taoist priest to do it or find someone to drive him away.

Instead, we made a lot of traps and made a bunch of cages, and we had to catch them directly."

The White Ghost King actually thought that this approach was quite wise. The best way to verify whether it was a monster was to catch him alive and see.

"Did you catch it then?" Xiao Sizi asked curiously.

"Of course I didn't catch it." Che Kuai shook his head, "Prince Zhong laid many traps, but the ghost car did not appear in the city. Instead, it appeared in the suburbs, near my old house."

This time, everyone was a little confused.

"Why does the ghost car keep appearing near your house?" Lin Yehuo asked, "Did you take anything from it?"

Che Kuai shook his head, "Of course not, and what's more terrible is that wherever the ghost car appears, everyone's attention will be there, not to mention that there is Prince Zhong who catches ghost cars all over the world. If my old man is caught,

If we are near the house, my daughter and I might be exposed."

"Alas..." Che Kuai sighed, "I couldn't help it, so I decided to take a gamble."

Zhan Zhao thought for a while and asked, "Are you... still thinking about that well?"

Che Kuai nodded, "One evening, I opened the well again... Then I didn't go home. Instead, I hid in the nearby woods and stared. There was no movement at all in the first half of the night. I waited.

I was so sleepy... Just when I was about to fall asleep, I suddenly heard some noises, and the birds in the forest were suddenly frightened and flew up. I was woken up, so I lay down in the woods and crawled through the gaps in the bushes.

Look in the direction of the well. Isn't that place surrounded by trees, but there is a circle above the well mouth where you can see the sky?"

Zhan Zhao nodded - indeed.

"That night, the moonlight happened to be bright, and a ray of moonlight shone down, just at the mouth of the well. I saw a hand stretched out from the well... The hand was somewhat similar to the shape of a human hand, but it was very big and had small fingers.

It was very rough, the skin was gray and black, with an oily sheen, and there was some green light. If you look carefully, it seemed to be green flames." Che Kuai described in detail what he saw that night, "I didn't dare to express my anger, and covered my mouth and nose.

As I stared at it, I saw a huge beast crawling out of the well under the moonlight. The thing looked like a humanoid, with gray and black bodies all over, and seemed to have scales. It looked like a human but not completely like a human. The thing had a body shape

An average person is as big as two people. Although it has two hands and two feet, it moves with all four limbs touching the ground. It has a huge head, with an outstretched forehead, no eyes, and a nose similar to that of a skull, which is very short, and its mouth is open with fangs in the mouth.

.The most peculiar thing is the pair of wings behind it, which look like bat wings, and there are green flames all over the body...the shape is terrifying like a ghost."

Che Kuai was still frightened when he recalled it, "My kung fu is not bad, but at that time I still felt cold all over. After the thing crawled out, it shook its wings, raised its face, opened its mouth and let out a roar... That thing

The sound was like the meow of an old cat, very harsh and sharp. The thing stood by the well for a while, flapped its wings, and suddenly flew away."

Che Kuai spoke in great detail, and everyone was immersed in the scene, imagining the scene.

Especially since Zhan Zhao had just seen the well before, he almost had the image of the monster crawling out of the well in his mind.

Just as he was thinking about it, he felt someone pressing his belly. When he looked down, he saw that the little boy was trying to get under his arm.

Zhan Zhao leaned back a little, thinking that Tuanzi might be scared, so he let him climb onto his lap and sit on his lap.

But after the little fourth son reached Zhan Zhao's lap, he didn't stop. Instead, he continued to crawl forward and got into the fifth master's arms.
To be continued...
