Chapter 121: Repelling Evil Spirits (1)
The main character of this chapter: Chongyun
"Go get some water from the well, quickly!"
"What are you doing in the middle of the night? What are you doing?"
"Don't you want to cook tomorrow morning? Our own well is out of water, so we have to queue up at the well shared by all the neighbors. If we don't get it back early, when will we get a queue? Should we cook breakfast?"
"Okay, okay, I'll go, okay? Stop nagging me!"
In "Liyue Harbor", at the urging of his wife, an uncle carried a large wooden barrel and walked towards the public well in the dark.
The moonlight is hazy and alluring, and under the caress of layers of clouds, it appears as clear as water.
Under the bridge of "Liyue Harbor", the fish took a break, leaving only mosquitoes jumping on the water, causing ripples on the surface.
Several dogs at the bridgehead were lying on the ground, humming softly. It was unclear whether they were snoring or just humming out of boredom.
It was the middle of the night and all the shops were closed. Although the streets of Liyue Harbor were still brightly lit, the sounds of hawkers and the number of pedestrians on the road were few and far between.
Walking to the well, the uncle tied the rope and threw the bucket in. Then he sat by the well and sighed, "It's still late at night, it's really... Alas!"
After a short rest, the uncle began to lift the bucket up, complaining to himself as he lifted it up.
With the help of the headlight next to the well, the uncle looked at the bucket of water that had just been lifted up. It would have been fine if he hadn't looked at it, but he was shocked when he did.
The bucket of water that had just been lifted up was as red as blood, and the whole bucket was filled with a bloody smell.
"Ah ah ah ah ah--"
This sharp scream pierced through the entire "Liyue Harbor" as well as the clouds and moonlight.
The next morning...
"It's unbelievable. How could this happen?"
"The butcher upstream killed a pig and dumped the pig's blood carelessly, and it flowed down the river into this well."
"Hey~ I'm still here, and you dare to spit blood at me. I used my pig blood to make pig blood sausage and pig blood tofu, and you've eaten them. It's pure nonsense to say that I dumped pig blood into the river!"
"Who else could it be?"
While the two were arguing, another person said, "Do you remember that a few days ago, the two brothers from the Liu family went out to sea to fish and had a conflict with someone, and accidentally stabbed someone to death."
"I know. Aren't the two brothers imprisoned? What does this have to do with it?"
"You think that the person who was stabbed to death came to Liyue Harbor to seek revenge?"
When these words came out, everyone was horrified: "Don't talk nonsense, if he wants to take revenge, he will go to those two brothers, what does it have to do with us? Why did he come to us?"
"Come to think of it, there have been a lot of strange things happening lately. Haven't you noticed?"
"A few days ago, a huge stone lion washed up from downstream. Have you forgotten?"
"And the chicken that the Ma family had raised for several years and had always laid a lot of eggs, making everyone envious, suddenly turned into a male overnight. This is weird."
"And those kids at the port have been shouting that they saw a phoenix these days, but we can't see anything. You all know about this, right?"
"Flowers suddenly bloomed on the rockery of Yuehai Pavilion; the abandoned city tower in the suburbs, which no one has visited for hundreds of years, has recently lit a green candle every night; and the most bizarre thing in the past few months..."
When it comes to this, everyone seems to know what we are talking about.
"That was a sedan chair carried by paper men and straw horses, how could it possibly move? Yet someone saw it, and many people from different places saw it, but when we investigated, we found nothing. Isn't this too scary?"
"Add to that the blood in the well today. There have been countless strange things happening recently, and they are all concentrated in this period of time. There must be a reason."
"But we are innocent. You can go after whoever did something wrong. Why do you want to implicate us too?"
"Who would dare to drink the water from this well now? If there is a dead body in it, it's disgusting just thinking about it!"
The neighbors of Liyue Harbor were chatting animatedly around the well, and their conversations were heard by the patrolling Qianyan Army, who quickly passed them on to Yujingtai.
At the same time, "Return to the Original Land"...
"Here, try this!" Ye Luo held a large bowl of fresh strawberries and handed it to Hu Tao.
Walnut looked at the big, bright red fruits and immediately began to salivate.
"Why is this raspberry red and so big?"
Ye Luo explained: "This fruit is called strawberry. Although it looks a bit like raspberry, it is completely different."
With a slight smile, Ye Luo recommended happily: "You will know once you try it. The taste is no worse than raspberries, only sweeter and juicier."
Hu Tao gently plucked off the strawberry leaves, threw them into his mouth and said, "I just came back from the "Chenyu Valley" and you've grown something delicious again. You really can't rest for a moment."
As soon as she took a bite, Walnut's big eyes immediately lit up, and the sweet feeling made her blush slightly.
"Delicious! So sweet!" Walnut sat on the chair excitedly, shaking his legs.
Ye Luo smiled with satisfaction: "There are even better ones to eat. After I grow them in a few days, I will send them to the "Wangsheng Hall" so that you can enjoy them to your heart's content."
Walnut swallowed the strawberry in his mouth and nodded excitedly: "There are more delicious ones, I want to eat them!"
"But then again, apart from the first few days, it seems that you have rarely returned to Liyue Harbor. You are either traveling around Liyue or living in your fields. Such a big house feels abandoned."
Ye Luo spread his hands and said, "It's not that exaggerated. I still go back to live there occasionally."
Hu Tao pursed her lips and said, "He also said that the grass in your yard had grown several meters high a few days ago, and Xiangling and I had to help you pull it out."
"Thank you for your concern, Master Hu. However, I plan to go back to Liyue Harbor in the next few days. I have grown a lot of new varieties, and I have to go back to Liyue Harbor to sell them."
Walnut nodded: "Okay, if you need any help, just tell me and I'll pick you up then."
"However, I don't know how Liyue Harbor is doing recently. Last time, I hurriedly stopped at Yujingtai and then immediately went to Chenyu Valley. I don't know how everyone's life is going recently. Winter is about to come, how is the food storage for the winter?"
Walnut covered her face and smiled: "You are quite considerate, but the neighbors have lived here for so many years, there is no need to worry about these things."
