Spring River Flower Moon Night: Set of 2 Volumes

Chapter 52
"That's a well, young man." The old woman smiled at him, swept away the kindness and kindness just now, only to see panic, "It's just a dry well, it's not a big deal..."

Is it really just a dry well?

Wang Zijin looked at the dry well, and then at Feixiao's firm eyes, so he had no choice but to bite the bullet, look away, and continue walking.

But why?He would feel that in that well, there seemed to be someone watching him through the watery night and the lingering spring breeze?
五

It was silent at night, only the mountain wind was raging, knocking on the door panel from time to time.

The prince entered the dusty room alone and felt extremely bored. The crimson eyes just now and the inexplicable panic of the old woman clearly hinted at something.

He didn't want to sleep, got up from the bed, opened the wooden window, and looked at the boundless night.

The silvery moonlight poured down and flowed, the long grass in the courtyard fluttered with the wind, and a dark and thick shadow suddenly broke into his eyes.

The round and rough outline is indeed a common well platform for ordinary people.

It's just that this well platform seems to have life, adding a touch of desolation. Standing quietly in the windy grass, it seems that there are endless things to tell, but it suffers from lack of tongue, and it is too late to speak.

He was just thinking about it, but he heard a few difficult sounds from the wooden door, and it was slowly pushed open.

I saw Fei Xiao leaning at the door, looking at him with a smile in the corner of her eyes, her long hair was as black as ink, and her white clothes were covered with snow and frost, just like a good freehand landscape.Black is black, white is white, lightly and lightly, swaying endless romance.

"So it was you." Wang Zijin patted his chest, "Silently, you scared me to death!"

Fei Xiao, however, was as nimble as a cat, and walked to his side without a sound, and closed the dilapidated wooden window with her hand, cutting off the moonlight and flowing water.

"What are you doing?" Wang Zijin couldn't help feeling annoyed, "I can't sleep at night, and I can't even look at the scenery outside the window?"

Fei Xiao smiled slightly, and told him, "Zi Jin, some scenery can't be seen just by looking at it. There are so many people in this world who pay a huge price just for their curiosity."

"What do you mean?" Wang Zijin saw him with a dignified tone, and couldn't help feeling anxious, "What kind of scenery can't be seen?"

"For example this one." Fei Xiao pointed out the window, the gray window paper reflected the shadows of trees with fangs and claws, it seemed that something terrible was about to come out.

"Actually, ever since I saw this village, I felt that something was wrong..." Looking at the hazy moonlight, Fei Xiao seemed to be talking to him, but also seemed to be talking to herself.

"But you came in bravely just to eat chicken..." Wang Zijin shook his head repeatedly.

"Not really, after living for such a long time, only when facing danger can I feel a little bit of excitement, so that I can know that I am still alive." Fei Xiao smiled bitterly, "Is this considered to be true?" A kind of sorrow?"

"Where is the sadness? Don't you see, how many people in this world envy you for your immortality? Think about the ever-changing ways of eating chickens in this world, and you will have no time to mourn the spring and the autumn." Seeing his sadness, Wang Zijin winked tease him.

After hearing what he said, Fei Xiao laughed heartily, as if the depression in her heart had been swept away.

"Zi Jin, you are really my confidant! You are right, life is long or short, as long as you get what you want, you will have no regrets in this life."

"Of course! Therefore, in my whole life, my prince will have to see all the spring scenery in the world, and see all the beauties in the world. Even if it is really a fate, and you don't live to stand, you will not have any regrets."

"By the way, I have something to tell you when it comes to killing evil spirits." Feixiao seemed to remember something, the smile on her face quickly retreated, and she said mysteriously, "Do you still remember that when I came in, I once said Is there a spider's web in this village?"

Wang Zijin nodded quickly.

"So, please don't tell anyone what your name is." Fei Rou's red lips parted slightly, and she actually spit out such strange words.

"Why?" He didn't understand even more, "That's why you changed my name for me?"

"That's right, as long as no one else knows your real name, we can leave this village."

After Fei Xiao finished speaking, she walked out of the room lightly, leaving him alone, standing in the dark, completely clueless.

But after a while, the melodious and cold sound of the flute came from the room next door, and it hit the ears, which made people feel inexhaustible.

Wang Zijin knew that Fei Xiao was not good at words, and was calming his fearful state of mind with the sound of the flute, but his mood gradually stabilized, and he fell into a dark and sweet dream.

There is only a ray of weeping and slow singing, echoing in the silent valley.A crescent moon hangs in the sky, hazy, like a melancholy that keeps cutting and unraveling.

Who would have thought that going to sleep this time would be like slipping off a cliff and falling headlong into a dream.

In the dream, there are colorful yellow leaves and cold autumn frost. It seems that the world has changed in an instant, and the lively late spring has been replaced by the bleak late autumn.

The courtyard is still the same courtyard, but the scenery is very different.

Wang Zijin walked in the diffuse night fog, stepped on the soft yellow leaves, and walked into the depths of the fog.

I saw a well not far away. The thick well platform was made of blue bricks, and the clear waves in the well were rippling.You don't need to stick a handful of well water into your throat, just lying on the edge of the well and watching, you can feel the clear sweetness.

How is this going?Why do I have such a dream?He raised his head from the edge of the well, and looked at the huts around him, the maple leaves were like fire, and he was even more sure that this was the family where he and Feixiao were staying.

But isn't this well a dry well?How can there be such a wave of clear water full of vitality?
Before he could figure it out, he heard footsteps rustling behind him, as if someone was approaching on tiptoe.

She never thought that a second person would appear in her dream!He was taken aback and hurriedly looked behind him.

Seeing this, he couldn't help but stand there, tongue-tied, unable to speak.

Under the silver moonlight, among the golden fallen leaves, stood a girl with willow eyebrows and beautiful eyes, wearing light blue clothes.There was a hint of sadness between the brows, and she was staring at him with her Jianshui eyes open.Although the young girl's clothes were made of coarse cloth, they did not conceal her charm, but instead made her look like spring flowers, lively and beautiful.

"That, that..." Wang Zijin never expected that there would be such a beautiful woman in the deep mountains, and he was immediately at a loss for what to do.

"Hehehe..." Seeing Wang Zijin's dumbfounded look, she covered her mouth with her hands and let out a silver bell-like laugh, "You scholar, where did you come from? You are so out of touch with the world?"

"Xiao, Xiaosheng came from Xiangshui River. Unfortunately, he lost his way, so he stayed overnight in Baodi. There is also a young man who came with me. You should have seen him, that is the very handsome one..." He was crying Khan, he stammered his answer, but the more he wanted to impress the beautiful woman, the more he didn't know what to say.

"Forget it, forget it." The girl casually sat down on the edge of the well, "It's really tiring to listen to you talking politely. Tell me your name, and we will be considered acquainted."

"This..." Thinking of Feixiao's reminder, Wang Zijin faintly felt something was wrong.

"Can't you even remember your own name? You're such an idiot, you're so stupid when you read!" The girl smiled wildly, as if she had seen something very interesting, "My name is Liansheng, don't forget, in the future I'll just call you a 'nerd'. Compete with you!"

When the prince came to see Liansheng, his smile was even brighter and boundless, with deep pear dimples, pink face and peach cheeks, as if all seven souls had been taken away by six souls.Immediately, she completely forgot about Fei Xiao's exhortations, straightened her clothes, and bowed to the end like a modest gentleman.

"Xiaosheng's surname is Jianghuai, his surname is Wang, and his first name is Zijin."

"Oh?" Liansheng squinted at him, with a deep smile, "Your surname is Hu, don't you know your name? Could it be a fake name?"

Wang Zijin suddenly felt cold all over, staring blankly at the girl who was sitting on the edge of the well, swinging her feet leisurely, as if she had seen a ghost from hell, she involuntarily took a few steps back.

"You, how do you know this name?" When Fei Xiao mentioned it at that time, except for the old man surnamed Fang, there was obviously no one around.

"What's so strange about that? I heard it." Lian Sheng gave him a disapproving look, his expression as usual.

Maybe it's just me being overwhelmed?Where could she be hiding in the house?

Wang Zijin wiped the cold sweat off his brow, and asked with a smile, "Hehe, that name was just made up by my friend. I don't know where Miss heard about it?"

"It's right here! I can hear the conversations of all the people passing by." She stretched out her slender hand and pointed to the well where she was sitting.

"Where is it?" Wang Zijin couldn't believe his eyes.

"In this well, if you don't believe me, if you look down, you can see a lot of things. If you soak in the water, you can feel the breath of all things in the world." Liansheng jumped down from the edge of the well and waved at him. He waved his hand, beckoning him to come over.

He was ignorant and ignorant, obviously terrified in his heart, but as if he had been bewitched, he walked slowly to the edge of the well and braved up to look down.

I saw that the well water, which was clear and calm just now, was swaying, as if something was about to come out.

When he took a closer look, his face turned pale, and he let out a scream, and his legs softened and he sat on the ground.With the help of the cold moonlight, one can clearly see that inside the well, along with the ripples, are strands of long black hair.

It is silky and lingering, almost filling the entire deep well.

Seven

Prince Jin broke out in a cold sweat, opened his eyes suddenly, and saw that he was still lying on the simple bed in the thatched hut, and saw the shadows of dilapidated household items. Where could there be a beautiful girl, and where could there be a terrifying deep well?

But after being frightened by the nightmare, he couldn't sleep any more. He curled up under the quilt and stared at the creaking wooden window by the mountain wind until dawn.

The next day, as soon as it was dawn, Fei Xiao ran over to look for him in high spirits.

Wang Zijin looked at his rosy complexion, pressed his swollen head, shook his head and sighed: "Fei Xiao, I will never understand, why are you so energetic every day?"

Fei Xiao proudly stroked her snow-white skirt, "He has no worldly affairs in his heart, so he can sleep well all night."

Unexpectedly, as soon as he finished speaking, he heard an old woman's old voice from the yard: "The chicken porridge is ready, you two young people, come and drink the porridge."

Wang Zijin felt a blur in front of his eyes, a white shadow flashed, the front of the door was already empty, and the figure of Fei Hong had long since disappeared.

He couldn't help but get angry when he saw this, what kind of heart is not in the world of mortals!What an extraordinary!He obviously woke up early for chicken porridge, but he still has the face to educate him in a grand manner!
But even so, with a blue face, he walked out of the hut awkwardly, walked through the grassy courtyard, and walked towards the front yard.

In the yard, the grass grows and warblers fly, and wild flowers are dotted. Under the brilliant light of the morning, it presents a lively scene full of vitality and everything striving for spring.

He was walking on the small road on the dry grass, the breeze was blowing, and the silver bell-like laughter of a girl was vaguely sent, which made a yearning smile rippling on the corner of his mouth.

If it weren't for the terrible things in the well, there are maple leaves like fire and beauties like flowers, it might not be a beautiful dream.

He seemed to be drawn, and his eyes unconsciously drifted to the dry well in the yard.

The well platform is high and the blue stones are clear, just like in the dream.The only difference is that the mouth of the well was pressed down with a huge stone slab.

Wang Zijin seemed to see the beautiful Liansheng from last night again, still coquettishly sitting on the edge of the well, smiling slightly at him.

His soul seemed to be bewitched by the charming dream, and he walked to the dry well with infinite nostalgia, looking at the little moss in the crevices of the stone, he couldn't help feeling suspicious.

If there is moss, it must not be a dry well, but why is the wellhead sealed with stone slabs?
He suddenly became curious, put the folding fan on his waist, and stretched out his hand to lift the heavy stone slab.

The stone slab was rough and cold, and it was heavier than he imagined. With all his strength, he pushed it three or four times before finally moving through a narrow gap.

A cool tide came from the dark crevice, and it seemed that the rippling well water could be seen inside.

Just as he was about to continue pushing, he suddenly felt a tightness on his wrist, and a cold and hard hand had firmly grasped his wrist.

I saw Fei Xiao dressed in white, wearing the morning light, looking at him with reproachful eyes.

"That, that..." Wang Zijin suddenly scratched his head in embarrassment like a child who has been caught by something wrong, "I just want to see what's in the well, and I don't just take your words as wind in my ears... "

"Forget it." Fei Xiao narrowed her eyes, showing a clear smile, "I just came to call you, the food on the table is going to be cold."

Wang Zijin had no choice but to smile apologetically, followed behind him, and walked quickly to the front yard.

At the same time, under the heavy stone slab, in the narrow gap, there is a black thing like a snake, winding along the edge of the well made of bluestone.

If you look carefully, you can see that it is a strand of long black hair, full of the tide of well water.

Eight

A breakfast was depressing and heavy.

The old man surnamed Fang was in a bad mood, and kept hiding in the house and refused to see anyone, while the old woman just buried her head in her meal and didn't even say a word.

He had no choice but to chat with Fei Xiao casually, but unfortunately, when Fei Xiao saw the chicken, she forgot everything and turned a deaf ear to what Wang Zijin said.
After finally finishing a tough meal, Wang Zijin and Fei Xiao got up and bowed, ready to say goodbye.

Unexpectedly, the old woman just lowered her head to pack her things without even looking at them.

"Thank you, old man, for your hospitality, but we still have important things to do..." Wang Zijin had just said halfway, when she turned her head and looked at him with cloudy eyes.

"Anyway, you will come back, so why say goodbye..." She actually showed a very pleasant smile, but there were not many teeth in her mouth, which added a bit of horror to her wrinkled old face.

Just as Wang Zijin was about to argue with her, Fei Hong who was next to him tugged at his sleeve, "Zi Jin, it's useless to talk too much, let's go quickly."

He had no choice but to shake his head, followed Fei Xiao, and walked out of the door of this strange family.

The dense trees on the mountain rustled with the spring breeze. Wang Zijin felt extremely sad and wished he could dig a hole into the ground.

Because on the small road in the field, many villagers gathered around. They were male or female, old or young, but none of them spoke. They just stood on both sides of the road, watching them silently with inquiring eyes.

"Fei Xiao..." Wang Zijin walked in the gaze like a sword, as if countless holes had been poked into his body, "What's wrong with them? Why do they all look at people like this?"

Fei Xiao didn't care, and replied coldly: "If you've lived in one place for 20 years and never stepped out, you're probably a bit sharper than their eyes."

"Ah? What the old man said last night was actually true?!"

"Whether it's true or not, you have to try it out." Fei Xiao said as she flicked her fan, walked out of the village in a very chic way, and walked along the rugged path to the deep green mountains.

The two walked briskly, and turned over a small hill in a blink of an eye. Looking at the wind, there was a straight official road at their feet, and a passing carriage could be vaguely seen passing by.

"Feixiao, look!" Wang Zijin was ecstatic when he saw this, and yelled, "The villages that you can't get out of are all lies. Isn't the official road just under this mountain?"

Fei Xiao remained silent, lifted the hem of her clothes, and quickened her pace towards the foot of the mountain.

His long black hair fluttered in the wind, covering most of his face, making it impossible to see his expression clearly.

But Wang Zijin's heart was filled with joy long ago, he didn't realize his silence at all, he hummed a song all the way, stepped on the green grass, and walked into the depths of the thick emerald green shade.

Unexpectedly, the road became more and more rugged as we walked, and finally the surrounding bushes were almost to the point where it was difficult to move an inch.At this time, the long day was coming to an end, the sun was fading, and even the breeze in the mountains became a bit colder.

"What's going on here?" Wang Zijin looked at the green leaves above his head in fear, "Isn't the road just at the foot of the mountain? Why haven't we arrived after walking for so long?"
