Nowadays, people eat tap water, while the former Northeast people eat well water and of course river water. This is an accident related to well water.
There is no running water in a small village in the northeast, and people have to pick up all the water they eat from a large well half a mile away. So every morning, Xiaoxin gets up early in the morning, carries his little bamboo tube on his back, and follows his father on the dew on the bluestone slab to carry water at the village entrance. There are many people guarding the well, and they often have to line up in a long line. People pass the time in greeting each other, talking and laughing, until the sun shows their face, and the rising sun shines on them as if they were wearing a dress. The soft coat is very comfortable.
Xiaoxin asked his father, isn’t there a well in our backyard, why did we have to rush here to collect water? Father smiled and said, the water here is sweet, you haven’t seen it, all the people in the village drink the water here. Of course, this is a reason that is difficult for Xiaoxin to be convinced. In Xiaoxin’s view, water is water, tasteless, and there is no difference between sweetness and bitterness, so Xiaoxin’s mouth is pouted. Father stretched out his index finger to scrape Xiaoxin’s mouth and said that only by getting up early in the morning and having a flexible muscles and bones can he grow a good body.
But what Xiaoxin was thinking about was the well in the backyard that had long been lost in the grass. The eaves of the well were already covered with moss. Xiaoxin once stood on tiptoe and looked inward. All he saw was the black water surface. Xiaoxin found a stone and threw it down. The strange thing was that there was no ripple. Children in the village often ask Xiaoxin mysteriously, are you not afraid of the well in your house? Have you ever seen strange things coming out of it? Xiaoxin raised his head proudly, what is he afraid of? Isn’t it just a well to drill a basilisk? In the grass under the well fence, there was a cricket that screamed loudly every night, Lin Liang, that was what Xiaoxin wanted most, but it was a pity that he never caught it.

In order to prove Xiaoxin’s fearlessness, Xiaoxin called her friends to the house, climbed onto the eaves of the well in front of them, and waved at them. “Did you see it? Do you dare to come up?” The eaves of the well slipped so badly that Xiaoxin had to circle it carefully. Until grandma cried and hugged Xiaoxin, grandma’s hair was messy, her eyes were white, she looked scary, and she shouted at Iguchi: “I know you want revenge, but you don’t want to harm the child, it’s all mine. Wrong, if you want me to die, give me a dream, and I will come down right away.”
That night, Xiaoxin seemed to hear a burst of laughter from the well in his sleep. So Xiaoxin came to the well with sleepy eyes. The moonlight was white and Xiaoxin saw a child as old as Xiaoxin, wearing a small watermelon hat and a big red cotton-padded jacket, crawling on the eaves of the well and making faces at Xiaoxin. “Who are you?” Xiaoxin asked. The child kept laughing, and his hands shook his drum. So Xiaoxin asked again: “Whose child are you, where is your mother?” The child waved to Xiaoxin, XiaoxinWhen he walked to his side, the boy pointed to the well and pressed against Xiaoxin’s ear and said, “Mom is down, be gentle, don’t wake her up.” The child’s face was cold, although it was almost against Xiaoxin. But Xiaoxin still couldn’t feel his exhalation. Xiaoxin felt strange and asked, “Does your family live below?” The child said, “Yes.” Xiaoxin reached out and touched the child’s padded jacket. It was cool and soft, as if there was nothing but it was very dry. , There was no sign of getting wet at all, Xiaoxin said: “There is water in there, why are you not wet at all?” The child looked at Xiaoxin in confusion and said, “No, this is the door of my house. How could there be water?” The moon was already west, and the well was completely shrouded in the shadow of the well fence. Xiaoxin only saw a black rumbling. Xiaoxin stared at the child, his face was so white that there was almost no trace of blood. Xiaoxin asked: “Have you always lived here?” “Yes, I have lived for decades. No one has ever played with me. I am so lonely.” The child lowered his head. Xiaoxin’s heart became hot, so he grabbed the child’s hand and said, “Can I be your friend?” Lin Liang was in the child’s eyes, but suddenly he lowered his head and said in a low voice: “Mom knows. , Can scold.” The child suddenly held Xiaoxin’s hand tightly, “I’m not afraid of scolding.” “Is your mother still asleep?” The child nodded. Xiaoxin couldn’t help being curious, and said, “Can you take me to your house?” The child looked at the mouth of the well, seemingly afraid, holding Xiaoxin’s hand tightly and tightly, and finally made up his mind. Said: “We are friends, of course. But you have to speak softly, Mom is amazing…”
