355. Well
"Brother, don't worry. You and Brother Mouse have been together for a long time, and we haven't seen any adverse reactions for the time being. Maybe we can find some way to lift the curse during our trip to Wudang Mountain." She comforted me.
"You said if this curse cannot be lifted, is there any girl willing to marry me?" I looked at her with deep meaning.
"Yes, there will definitely be one. My brother is such a nice person and has readers all over the country. He is a hot commodity." She turned her head and deliberately avoided my gaze.
A light spot vaguely appeared not far ahead. The closer the distance, the wider the spread of the light. I looked up and saw that the cave had reached the end. A hole about one meter and a half in diameter was exposed on the top of the cave. The ground
Sunlight also shines in through this hole. There is a small pool just below the hole. The water in the pool is extremely clear, almost the same as the water in Qingshui Stream. The pool is very deep, and you can't shine it to the bottom no matter how you shine it with a flashlight.
"Brother, is this the Jinjing you are talking about?" She raised her head and looked at the dazzling sunlight. The light was so strong that she had to cover it with her hands. It seemed that the intensity of the sunlight was already close to noon.
I also looked up, rubbed the loose stubble on my chin with my hand, pursed my lips and said: "This is not a gold well. Look at the hole. It is completely vertical, and there are moss growing around it.
It means that your so-called golden well is kept in a moist state all year round. How round are the walls? I don’t think it is a golden well, but more like a water well!"
As soon as I finished saying this, the sunlight in the hole over one meter above my head dimmed, and then a wooden barrel was dropped from above with a rope tied to it.
"How about it? A well?"
"Ah! Are you saying that this is the living area of the Donggui tribe? They rely on this spring for their livelihood? But how many years can they use such a small pool? Won't it dry up?"
I smiled confidently and told her my guess.
If I guessed correctly, there must be a spring under this pool that has been inexhaustible for thousands of years. The spring will naturally spray water all year round. Looking at this pool, how can it keep the water level forever without overflowing? The reason is very simple.
There is not only a spring under this pool, but also another waterway, which leads the excess spring water out of the cave in the form of an underground river. The herb collector said that the Donggui people also make a living on the water from Qingshui Spring.
Therefore, if your guess is correct, this pool was dug by Taoist Master Qingshui. The source of the legendary holy water that can cure hundreds of poisons is here.
Although it was late autumn, the temperature at noon in Hubei was still quite high, and the sun was warm on our bodies. We sat by the clear water spring for a while, and our clothes were quickly dried.
I said, "I plan to eat game at the Donggui Clan for lunch. Do you dare to go?"
Meihui looked at me blankly, thinking that I was confused, with a puzzled expression.
Another barrel was thrown down from the top, and I said, "Look, the elevator is here, right?"
Meihui still didn't understand what I meant, and I didn't explain, so she poured out the water in the wooden bucket. The Manchu savage on the ground on the cave roof, holding the rope, clearly felt that the bucket was spilled, and he was chattering a lot, but I couldn't hear it.
Understand the dialect.
