But the old man closed his eyes after he finished speaking, as if he didn't want to talk more.
Chang An wanted to say something, but was stopped by the young man: "If you want to ask anything, why don't you ask me?"
"Do you know what I want to ask?" Chang An turned around.
"Isn't it the story of this well?" The young man led Chang'an away from the well, and said as he walked forward, "Almost everyone in Jinxiu City knows the story of that well. They have heard it since they were young. big."
"Huh?" Chang An made a puzzled voice.
He looked back in some surprise, did he hear the sound of gurgling water just now? It was as if something was about to spring up from the well.
However, the young man's words quickly attracted his attention: "About five hundred years ago, when the former emperor first founded the country, Splendid City was guarded by a general named Ye. At that time, Splendid City was not yet As it is now, there is no such big river that crosses Splendid City..."
At that time, Splendid City was drought year after year, and the insignificant amount of rain was a gift from the heavens. The rainfall was insufficient, the land was barren, and the harvest was not harvested year after year. Foreign tribes invaded...
The hardships facing Splendid City are numerous.
However, this was not the end. At that time, Jinxiu City was facing an unprecedented severe drought. For three consecutive months, there was not a drop of rain from the sky.
The crops were all dried up in the field, the land was cracked, and the wells dried up. People even held no less than ten rain-seeking ceremonies, but all ended in failure.
At this time, one of General Ye's staff gave him an idea.
He said that the reason for the severe drought in Jinxiu City was that the evil dragon from the sky was born into the human world, and if it wanted to rain, the evil dragon had to be killed.
There was no other way, the general had no choice but to adopt this idea. After killing the evil dragon, they put the corpse into the well. As expected, it rained heavily for ten days in a row. After the rain stopped, the road that traversed Jinxiu City The great river appeared.
Since then, the weather in Splendid View City has been smooth, and because of the emergence of the big river, the external transportation has become much more convenient. Commerce has gradually developed, and Splendid View City has also slowly prospered, and has been developing into what it is today.
But the dragon's soul has not dissipated. It lingers in the well, unable to leave and unwilling to leave, always waiting for the opportunity to take revenge.
Over the past few hundred years, there have been quite a few people who fell into the well. Gradually, no one dared to go nearby, and the well became what it is now.
"You mean, the well just now is the one used to suppress the evil dragon?" Chang'an thought for a while, "But what the evil dragon said is really strange. Ordinary people can really defeat the evil dragon. creature?"
It's not that he despises the abilities of human beings. In his impression, dragons are all huge and violent creatures. Their bodies alone can crush those human beings who are very small to him. It's not easy to defeat them.
And this is not a fantasy or magical world. It is basically impossible for ordinary people to defeat the dragon, right
"So this is just a story." The young man smiled slightly, "How could there be such creatures as evil dragons in reality?"
"But..." There must be some basis for this story to be passed down, right
The young man saw his doubts: "But there is another saying, very few people know about it."
"What is it?" Chang An asked curiously.
"It is said that what was killed was not the dragon, but the youngest son of the general."
"Ah?" Chang An was stunned.
Among human beings, isn't there such a saying that the poison of a tiger does not eat its seeds
"Is it strange?" The young man raised his eyebrows, "What is more important, a person's life or a city's life? What's more, the general not only has a son, facing the righteousness of his family and country, is it right to make such a choice?" Is it normal?"
His tone was very cold.
Chang An fell into a long silence. After a long while, he said, "Maybe what you said is right. But the righteousness of family and country is not that important to me. If I have to choose, I will refuse."
He's not human, so he can't fully understand their thoughts. In his opinion, it is very incomprehensible to hurt one's relatives and loved ones for such illusory things.
The young man smiled: "Then what will you do?"
He added: "At that time, almost everyone in the city knew the news. They surrounded the general's mansion and silently conveyed their opinions. It's not that the general doesn't like his youngest son. He made that choice. ... There may also be reasons for being persecuted."
He said it as if he was there.
"Hmm... run away with him?" Chang'an thought for a long time, and finally said, "The general's mansion should have a back door tunnel or something?"
The young man's complexion was very strange, as if he was about to sigh, but also seemed to be laughing, and finally he couldn't help touching his head: "Okay... okay."
He didn't continue talking, didn't tell Chang'an, his method was too taken for granted - even if he escaped, how far could he run? What's more, as I said before, the general has other children, how could he be willing to leave everything behind and run away
And those who have lost their minds due to the long drought will not give him that chance.
but…
Even so, hearing Chang An's rather naive idea, he still had mixed feelings in his heart and couldn't tell what it was like.
"It's getting late, we should go home." Thousands of words rolled on the tip of his tongue, and finally, he swallowed them one by one.
When I got home, An Siyue was there.
There are a few books on the table, Chang An glanced at them roughly, they are probably travel notes, storybooks and the like, and there is a foreign novel mixed in.
An Siyue followed his gaze: "A friend of mine gave it to me to amuse me. Do you want to see it?"
Needless to say, that friend is the man Chang An and the others saw, An Siyue's current suitor.
Perhaps the saying that being in love makes people nourish is not false. She looks radiant now and looks ten years younger.
Chang An shook his head, he had no interest in reading.
An Siyue didn't say anything more, instead she brought the topic to the young man: "Little brother, I understand that you two just got married and want to stick together all day long, but it's not okay to stay idle like this."
She rarely said this in a condescending tone, called persuasion, but it was almost a lesson.
"Young people should also be a little bit enterprising. You see, at this age, my eldest sister still needs to take care of the family's property. Why can't you give more snacks?"
There was a hint of pride in his tone that couldn't be concealed.
"Elder Sister is right." The young man was not annoyed, but just smiled slightly, "I'm also very happy that Eldest Sister can rejuvenate for a second time."
"However, if other people are happy or not, then I don't know."
An Siyue frowned, and covered up her guilty conscience with a sudden increase in volume: "What do you mean?"
The young man's words seemed to mean something, she couldn't help but glanced over her right shoulder, Yingling was still smiling, which made her feel relieved.
She still wanted to say something, but a phone call came in. She didn't know what the person on the other end said. Her frown gradually relaxed, and a smile appeared on her face.
"Okay, that's it."
She put down the phone, straightened the shawl on her shoulders, and ordered the servant: "I'll go out and tell the kitchen that I don't need to prepare my dinner tonight."
After speaking, he walked towards the door.
The young man looked at her background with inexplicable eyes, Chang An stood beside him, as if he heard a whisper.
"I warned you, children are always moody..."
On a very dull night, An Siyue didn't come back for dinner as she said, not only that, she didn't even come back for the night.
But she is an adult, and she doesn't need access control like a child, so no one cares about her whereabouts except for the servant who keeps the door for her.
Unexpectedly, something happened early the next morning.
An Siyue's body was found in a restaurant.
This is big news.
The few people who died in the An family before could still be said to be housework. The family members of the deceased had been taken care of, so they kept silent and the news was covered up.
But An Siyue's death could not be covered up.
Because the way she died was really bizarre.
According to the restaurant staff, she came to eat with the young master of the Wang family last night, and the two left together after the meal. This statement has been proved by many witnesses.
However, the next day, the cleaning staff of the restaurant found An Siyue's body in the bathroom.
An Siyue's death was not miserable, but everyone who saw the corpse felt horrified, because it was so weird! Her body was actually covered with small bruised and purple handprints!
Once An Siyue died, rumors spread about the death of the nanny, Hu Sheng, and the little girl somehow. Many people are secretly promoting, intending to fish in troubled waters.
Some said that An Siyue practiced witchcraft and suffered backlash, and some said that not only An Siyue, but the entire An Siyue family was not clean.
The little girl's death was also brought up repeatedly, and for some reason, a saying suddenly appeared - An Chengya, the third young master of the An family, had sadism, and the little girl was tortured to death!
Now, An Chengya, who was originally unknown, suddenly became famous. Of course, it's not a good reputation.
