Spring River Flower Moon Night: Set of 2 Volumes

Chapter 54
The icy cold water squeezed over and over, as if it was going to deform the internal organs of the person. The water on the top of the head instantly closed, cutting off the sky full of stars and the bright moon hanging high.

and the only way out.

Originally thought that there would be layers of mud algae at the bottom of the well, but a waterway appeared, dark and deep, leading directly to the darker underground.

Lian Sheng was as flexible as a fish, and as bright as a flower in the water. He gently and skillfully pulled the prince in, and followed the current to swim to the depths of the waterway.

The road seems to have no end, it is pitch black, and occasionally there are sticky aquatic plants that will entangle people's hair.Wang Zijin seemed to be overwhelmed by terror, completely forgetting the environment he was in, not even daring to breathe.

I saw a huge black mass at the end of the waterway, like cotton wool, floating around with the current.

And if you look carefully, the cotton wool looks like the tentacles of an animal, stretching out to a more distant place, and it is actually a living creature.

"This, what is this?" Wang Zijin had never seen such a terrifying monster before, he couldn't help shivering, for a moment he forgot his worries, and spoke as usual.

Liansheng looked at the monster in front of him with a sad expression, "This is my younger brother. He fell into the river and died when he was less than seven years old. Because he was too young, there are many things that he can't let go in this world, and his soul doesn't want to be detached. , over time, it became like this."

"It, it is obviously not alone..." Wang Zijin tremblingly said, "I have seen monsters too, most of them continue to exist in this world because they have nostalgia for the world, but most of them will Maintaining a human appearance, how could it become beyond recognition?"

"You are not allowed to talk about it like that!" Liansheng seemed very annoyed when he heard this, and he slowly swam up to the black mist, reaching out and stroking the silky tentacles, "It is indeed not human, but it is more Many people's hearts are much better. It has no human shape because it has given up everything and has become the god of this village."

"god?"

"That's right," Liansheng said to Wang Zijin with a smile, "when it died, its flesh and blood were entrusted to the well water, and along the underground water veins, it meandered to the whole village, and all creatures who drank its flesh and blood , shall be governed by it.”

"Could it be?" Wang Zijin had a faint feeling in his heart. Thinking of this village that he could never get out of, and thinking of the horrible twisted vines, a terrible answer was about to come out in his heart, "This, the people in this village... , are all trapped by it?"

Standing in the dark cold water, Liansheng's face became ferocious, and he replied grimly, "That's the retribution they deserve."

"What retribution? Did they do something bad?"

"Hehehe..." Liansheng's face became more and more terrifying, gradually turning pale and blue, like the color of a dead person, "Of course I did, they trapped me in the well and drowned me alive. I will kill them Trapped in this village, buried in a grave for the rest of my life!"

When Wang Zijin saw her transform from an innocent girl into a ferocious banshee, he couldn't help but secretly startled.

"Liansheng, come here quickly, think about the blue waves in the river, think about the moonlight, didn't you just say that compared to these eternal things, our love and hatred are so insignificant..."

But before Wang Zijin could finish speaking, the black mist behind Liansheng exploded suddenly, and a black line broke through the water in an instant, like a dragon coming out of a hole, and came straight to him.

He never expected that the monster would suddenly attack, so he couldn't help but tighten his heart, closed his eyes and shouted: "Fei Xiao... Hurry up and save me!"

It doesn't matter that he shouted, his wrist was immediately held tightly by a cold and hard hand, and then he was quickly pulled away from the water surface, brought out of the wellhead, and flew straight to the bright starry sky with colorful water splashes.

Wang Zijin only felt that his body was as light as a willow leaf, dancing slowly in the sky with the spring breeze.

I don't know how long it took to fly before I finally had the feeling of falling to the ground. It was cold and damp under my body, as if I was lying on the dew-covered grass.

He hurriedly opened his eyes, but saw a bright moon hanging above his head, and the breeze was blowing on his face, sending a faint fragrance of flowers.

And Fei Xiao was sitting beside him with a smile on her face, stretching out a jade hand, under the white sleeve, tightly holding his wrist.

When Wang Zijin saw the handsome face under the crimson moon and the confident smile on his lips, he immediately felt relieved.

He quickly sat up from the ground, rubbed his painful forehead, and wailed: "It's really terrible, I had a very scary dream!"

Hearing his complaints, Fei Xiao nodded, "Of course I understand, Zijin, I've seen you playing flutes and singing, and exploring wells, all here."

"What?" Wang Zijin couldn't help being embarrassed, "You are really not authentic, don't you know that you should not see evil, do not listen to evil? I finally found a beautiful woman to talk about myself, but you listened to me go."

"Really?" Fei Xiao heard this, and started to tease him again, "Zi Jin, are you sure that she is a beautiful woman? If you count all the zombie monsters that approach you, your luck is really great."

"So what? Things are impermanent in this world. A beauty today will be a bone tomorrow. As long as it is beautiful, I am happy to appreciate it, regardless of whether it is life or death. It is better than facing a mediocre woman for the rest of my life."

Perhaps his words were too shocking, and Fei Xiao, who was always eloquent, was speechless and didn't know how to answer.

Wang Zijin's nympho state has obviously reached a height that no one has ever seen before, and no one will come since.

But even though he said this, Wang Zijin still felt regretful in his heart. If he was not so curious, he would have gone to the bottom of it.

In that case, he will always remember the fiery red maple tree, the girl in the blue shirt under the maple tree, her clear grass flute, and the moment when he was moved by his bold and unrestrained singing.

But luckily, it seems that in just a blink of an eye, that delicate beauty turned into a ferocious water demon.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help shaking his head and sighing.

"Zi Jin, why are you sighing? Are you lamenting that although the beauty is like jade, it is a pity that it is like a flower that has withered, and the pieces are turned into mud, leaving only the fragrance around the branches?" Fei Xiao took his hand and hurried on the way. Don't forget to make fun of it.

"Alas..." Wang Zijin felt empty and sad when he heard him say this, "Fei Xiao, you are the only one who knows me. Why do beautiful things always have such short lives?"

After finishing speaking, he looked up at the bright moon in the sky, shook his head and said: "It's true that my heart is directed towards the bright moon, but the bright moon shines on the ditch..."

Fei Xiao didn't expect him to understand this poem like this, but she was used to his nympho appearance, so she just lowered her head and smiled, for fear that this idiot would say something even more shocking to the world.

Unexpectedly, his ears hadn't been cleared for a moment, when he heard Wang Zijin yelling loudly behind him again.

"Wow wow wow, you damn fox, where are you taking me?" It was Wang Zijin who felt that the perfect person was like a flower, and he was so young in an instant, and finally realized that he was being dragged forward by Fei Xiao, and he entered again. village.

Fei Xiao was transformed into a fox, and what she hates the most in her life is when people call him "this one" and "that tail".

But today when he heard such words, he smiled instead of anger, looked at Wang Zijin with wind in his eyes and said, "Zi Jin, why don't you thank me? I'm going to take you to see your beautiful woman."

"Wow wow wow!" Wang Zijin protested loudly behind him, "Such a terrible beauty, I'd better not see you again."

"Don't you still want to take others to Suzhou and Hangzhou to see the lotus, why did you change your mind so quickly?"

Wang Zijin's face froze, he was stung by his words, so he had to droop his head, and walked forward behind him embarrassingly.

I saw the bright moon in the sky, the moonlight was cold, and a small courtyard was standing under the brilliance like water.

In that courtyard, covered by branches, kapok beats fire, and the gate is closed, it is the home of the old man surnamed Fang where the two stayed the day before yesterday.

Fei Xiao stepped on the moonlight without any fear, stretched out her hand and pushed on the door, with a little force, the lock of the door clicked and fell gently to the ground.

"Hey, Scarlet." Seeing his posture, Wang Zijin knew that nothing good would happen if he entered, "Shall we discuss it? Why should we disturb her? Is it really wrong to let her exist in the world like a monster?" ?”

"Zijin, why do you think so?" Feixiao looked at him with clear eyes under the moonlight, "Do you think she will be really happy living like this? A person with hatred in his heart, no matter where he goes, he will be happy." True happiness cannot be found."

Wang Zijin couldn't help but slowly let go of the hand that was holding Feihong's sleeve.

And just after such a hesitation, Feixiao's white clothes flashed lightly, and she had already slipped lightly into the courtyard along the half-open gate.

The two came one after the other, and soon came to the backyard overgrown with weeds.

In the yard, the grass grows and the warblers fly, and the trees look like trees, apparently no one has repaired them for a long time.And the well that the prince had visited many times was standing alone in the cold wind and wild grass, exuding a gloomy and cold smell.

"Let's go and have a look!" Fei Xiao said as she tugged at his sleeve, "Move the stone slab at the mouth of the well first."

"What?" Wang Zijin was taken aback, "Don't you know how frightening the monster in that well is?"

"But during the day, I saw that you were also working hard to move the stone slabs, and you even tied the fan to your waist, but now you are teaching me a lesson!"

"Fei Xiao, let's not go there, okay?" His voice was already crying, "Didn't I know there would be such a scary monster in the well at that time..."

But Scarlet will never be ordered by others, especially when the order comes from the prince who has been frightened out of his mind.

So after an hour and a half, Wang Zijin had no choice but to pin the skirt of his robe to his belt again, grinning and performing the wonderful show just performed in the morning.

"You should put in a little effort, you can't rely on me alone." Seeing that Fei Xiao just stretched out her hand in a symbolic way, lazily resting on the stone slab, he immediately lost his temper.

Although she knew that Fei Xiao had always been cunning, she never thought that he would be so cunning, that she didn't even want to exert any effort.

"Zijin, why do I have to do it when you have such a labor force? People say that people with poor brains will have extra strength."

"Shut up!" Wang Zijin roared, turning his anger into strength, his eyes widened, his legs kicked, and he pushed the stone slab halfway.

After pushing, he turned his head triumphantly, wanting to hear Fei Xiao's approving compliment, but Fei Xiao in the moonlight stared behind him, her eyes widened.

"Hey, what's the matter with you..." Before he could say a word, Fei Xiao pushed him hard.

The sudden force was so strong that he staggered and sat on the grass.

At the same time, a shining arc slid in front of his eyes, like a shooting star from the sky, passing his sky cap with a bang, hitting the heavy bluestone slab, and shooting out brilliant sparks.

After the prince entered the disaster, Yu Sheng hurriedly took a closer look, but saw that it was a sharp ax with a cold light.

"Wow wow wow!" He was so frightened that he got up and ran.

But in the moonlight, there was a ghost-like figure, holding a sharp hatchet, with loose white hair, staring at him steadfastly.

"You, who are you?" Wang Zijin hurriedly took two steps back, no matter what, he couldn't remember where he had seen such a person.

"No, don't take the slate away!" The old man threatened him loudly, his bloodshot eyes opened to the extreme, looking extremely scary, "There is something terrifying under the slate."

Listening to his hoarse voice and looking at his messy white hair, Wang Zijin finally recognized that this was the old man surnamed Fang who was chatting, laughing and having fun with them the day before yesterday.

But in just one day, he became like a ghost, beyond recognition.

The more he watched, the more frightened he became. He slipped behind Feixiao and whispered, "Feixiao, what should I do? How did this person become like this?"

Fei Xiao has no fear, she is dressed in white and is blown by the desolate mountain wind, which makes him stand out from the crowd and have a compelling aura.

"You...get out of here!" Old Man Fang pointed at them angrily and shouted, "Stay away from our house, and don't ever try to get near this well again!"

The loud and domineering voice made Wang Zijin, who was hiding behind Fei Xiao, tremble a few times.

In Feixiao's long and narrow eyes, there was still a smile like a spring breeze. She stroked her long black hair nonchalantly, and asked softly, "Is there anything in the well? It made you so nervous, old man?!"

Old man Fang was at a loss for words when asked this question, and he stammered and replied: "No, nothing, it's just that someone in the previous dynasty sealed a harmful monster in the well, so I kindly stopped you."

There was a hint of a smile on the corner of Fei Xiao's mouth, and she was still playing with her hair absent-mindedly, "People in this world are really strange, why do people who are harmful to others insist on claiming that they are out of good intentions? ?”

The old man's expression darkened immediately, his eyes sparkled, "What do you mean by that?"

"It's nothing, it's just that in this well, I'm afraid that what is buried is not some evildoer, but a girl's corpse!"

These few words were so light that they could melt into the cold night wind at any time and disappear without a trace.

However, the old man seemed to have heard the devil's voice from the underworld, his whole body was shocked, his face was pale, almost completely human, and after a while, a peaceful and serene expression appeared on his face.

Wang Zijin hid behind Fei Xiao, and was startled when he saw it. He has grown up so much, and he has never seen anyone whose face can change so quickly like this old man.

"Alas..." Old Man Fang seemed to be full of grief, and he raised his head and sighed, "Since you all know, please come and sit with me for a while, and the old man will explain the ins and outs of the matter to you one by one."

Looking at his appearance, it seems that he has returned to the rationality and calmness when he first met.

Wang Zijin looked at the weird old man, and then looked back at the dark well. He felt uneasy. The so-called fear of wolves before and tigers behind probably refers to his current situation.

"Zi Jin, let's go, and listen to what he has to say." Fei Xiao seemed to have foreseen something, and winked at Prince Jin, "Let's see what tricks he can play."

Although Wang Zijin was unwilling in every possible way, he had no choice but to walk towards the old man with his limp legs.The night wind made the old man's white hair flutter in all directions, and against the wrinkled red face, he hardly looked half human.

He summoned up his courage and took two steps forward tremblingly, only to see the old man walking towards them with his legs up.

"Wow——" Wang Zijin was afraid that he would make trouble again, and shouted, "You, don't come here!"

Seeing this, the old man immediately showed him a comforting smile, "Don't be afraid, my lord, I just want to go over and cover the stone slab at the mouth of the well."

Wang Zijin was bored, so he had to keep his head down and walk forward step by step.The old man Ren passed them by, but he didn't even have the courage to look back.

The long grass under his feet tripped his robe, as if it was alive, and seemed to be holding him back every step of the way.

"These grasses are really annoying, how could they trip over people's feet?" Seeing that his robe was caught by the messy weeds again, Wang Zijin had no choice but to bend down to fiddle with the hem of his robe.
