"Dedicated to the city lord?" Aunt Qing smiled softly.
A chill flashed across the back of Yu Sheng's head for no apparent reason.
In the city lord's mansion, Maomao was complaining to his mother about his miserable life in the future. After Leng Buding sneezed, he became even more reluctant to go back.
It had finally escaped from the sea of suffering at first, so how could it be that it had fallen into the sea of suffering again now.
The donkey had no time to care about Mao Mao. It was sharing the wine that the Bu family regularly offered with the sword spirit.
Annoyed by the "arrogance", the donkey's mother even kicked it to make it go back to the inn quickly.
The plate of pork head meat quickly ran out, and just as Ye Zigao threw the last piece into his mouth, Jian Li was walking into the inn carrying a wooden bucket.
"Xiao Yu'er, is the well filled with water?" Li Zheng said in a loud voice.
Then he smelled the aroma of pig head meat and asked, "What are you eating secretly?"
"Pig head meat." Bai Gaoxing took the bucket, "Can't the well at home produce water?"
Li Zheng nodded, "It's not good, why isn't it raining today? It has been rainy at this time in previous years."
He walked to the long table and saw that the plates were clean. He said regretfully: "I'm a little late because it's your Aunt Ma who asked me to give you instructions."
Yu Sheng said: "What are the instructions?"
"She took her grandson back to her parents' house and asked me to look after the door for her." Li Zheng sat down and said, "She said there were wild things at home recently that she was worried about."
"Wild thing?"
"Maybe it was Taolin who ran away from the back of the town." Li Zheng didn't take it to heart.
Bai Gaoxing quickly brought out a bucket of water. Li Zheng used a clean bowl to scoop out a bowl and drank it down.
He wiped his mouth and said to Yu Sheng: "The water from the old well is still delicious."
The well in the inn is an unknown age, at least as old as the inn.
And when the inn was built, the owner of the inn will not know for the rest of his life.
"It's been a long time anyway," Yu Sheng said.
"Hey, is the shopkeeper still a descendant of our family that has been passed down for hundreds of years?" Ye Zigao was surprised.
"Hundred years of inheritance?" Yu Sheng dismissed it, "Hey, I can almost memorize the names of eighteen generations of ancestors in our family."
"There are really eighteen generations?" Ye Zigao and the others obviously didn't believe it. There were constant natural and man-made disasters in this other world, and not many people could preserve their family trees forever.
That's because you haven't apologized in front of eighteen generations of ancestors, and you will spend the rest of your life talking.
Li Zheng knew it very well, "It's true. It's been at least eighteen generations since the Yu family moved to the town. That's because the genealogy before moving here has been lost."
The rich man said: "It must have been a thousand or eight hundred years."
Yu Sheng said, "Your ancestors only had sons in their fifties."
After chatting for a while, Li Zheng left with the bucket.
Bai was happy to see that there was no one else in the inn, so he lowered his voice and said, "Honor, is there something in the well?"
Only then did Yu Sheng remember the light when he fell into the well, "It's true, I saw it when I fell into the well."
Ye Zigao came over and said, "People have drowned in the well, maybe it was a water ghost."
He clapped his hands and said, "Maybe it's still a female ghost."
In other worlds, stories about female ghost scholars are also widely circulated. The commonly heard plot is that the female ghost meets the scholar who is on his way at night.
It is self-evident that Ye Zigao is so excited.
"Beast." Bai Gaoxing reprimanded Ye Zigao, but Ye Zigao didn't take it seriously.
Fu Nan agreed with Ye Zigao's statement, "It is common for people to drown in ancient wells. I don't know how many people drowned in that ancient well in Yangzhou City."
He asked Bai Gaoxing, "Did you hear her calling your name when you were fetching water?"
According to the Ghost Hunting Master and Wu Zhu, if a drowned person becomes a ghost, he cannot be reincarnated unless he finds a substitute.
The methods used by these water ghosts to attract substitutes are very similar.
They often call the names of people on boats, swimming or playing by the water. Those who respond will take the place of the original water ghost and look for the next substitute after they drown.
What surprised Yu Sheng was that the water ghost's transformation was an inevitable law. If it was not beyond the three realms and not within the five elements, the person who responded would definitely fall into the water.
As for whether he will drown after falling into the water, it all depends on personal destiny. For example, Xiao Sanzi, with the help of the fisherman and Yu Sheng, he did not lose his life.
For the rest of my life, I didn't realize there was any ghost in the well, and it didn't matter whether the light was some kind of treasure.
Seeing the four people arguing endlessly, Aunt Qing, who was impatient, said: "You guys go down and see if it can be done."
The four of them kept silent. The well in the inn was very deep and no one wanted to go down to take a look.
Fu Nan patted his leg, "I'm injured."
Bai said happily: "I removed the weeds, and the grass in the vegetable garden grew again."
Ye Zi was idle and had nothing to do. Uncle Shi happened to come to fetch water. He hurriedly stepped forward to take it and said, "I'll fetch water."
Seeing Aunt Qing's eyes on him, Yu Sheng looked around and said, "I'm still a child."
Uncle Shi laughed and scolded, "What a bastard, I'm already a father when you're your age."
Yu Sheng helped his aunt squeeze her shoulders, "I think so too, but I don't know where my wife is yet."
"By the way, Aunt Qing," Yu Sheng asked her, "I heard from the folks that my mother arranged for a wife for me. Where is she?"
Aunt Qing's shoulders tightened slightly, and she said slowly: "That's a lot. Back then, among the guests who came from all over the country, as long as the girl was pretty, your mother would take care of her."
Seeing Ye Zigao coming in with a bucket of water, Aunt Qing pointed at him, "Only more serious than him."
Ye Zigao put down the barrel and said smoothly: "Who is so bad?"
"Go away, it's none of your business." Yu Sheng drove him away and asked him to help Uncle Shi carry the water home.
After Uncle Shi followed him out, Yu Sheng caught up with him and asked Uncle Shi to help him make river lanterns.
"This is my mother." Yu Sheng said.
In his previous life, not to mention finding girls for him, after he became self-reliant, he was surprised that his own pigs also gave him cabbage.
In the rest of his previous life, he deliberately found out from his old man that she was his mother.
At noon, when Yu Sheng's pork head meat was served, all the guests were amazed and the whole inn was filled with the aroma of meat.
After Li Zheng smelled the aroma of the meat, he kept thinking about it and led the hunter Li San and the blacksmith Gao Si over to get what he wanted.
When the senior high school student came in, he happened to see Badou lying on the table and devouring pig head meat. He couldn't help but said angrily: "You bastard, you are not filial at all."
When Badou saw him coming, he ran away with the plate.
"You old bastard, stop robbing your children all the time." Li Zheng pulled the senior student to sit down.
The senior senior student said plausibly, "He just eats and drinks freely. If you don't rob him, he will rob someone else."
Li Laosan likes to argue with senior seniors, "That's because of your poor character. When Lao Yu was here, I couldn't always get food."
"Come on, Lao Yu's food is only yours, so of course you can get it."
Yu Sheng brought a plate of extra pork head meat to the table. The dish was particularly chewy with the wine, and the three of them started chatting more enthusiastically.
Uncle Shi came over with a pile of river lanterns, put them down and joined them.
The sun was strong and the cicadas were chirping endlessly. Noon passed quickly while Li Zheng and the four of them were blowing nonsense.
Zhou Jiuzhang reluctantly waved goodbye to them, and soon Liu Liu, who had been away from home for a day, also headed east.
Cao'er wanted to continue to expand her medicinal garden, Ye Zigao was urged to grind tofu, and Yu Sheng led Bai Gaoxing to continue cultivating vegetable fields.
The god of agriculture also came. He squatted under the fence and basked in the sun, letting a few hens circle around him.
"What are you going to plant?" the God of Agriculture asked him.
"Lu Lun." Yu Sheng said, the little donkey is so delicious.
