I didn't intend to be a Fairy
Chapter 482 Going down the well with a stick
"Junior Xu Qiuyue, I used to have the same roots as my master's family, but we are getting farther and farther away." The scholar surnamed Xu stood in the hall, first glanced at Song You and Sanhua Empress, then at the others, and hurriedly lowered his head. He bowed respectfully and introduced to everyone, "I met the head of the family and all the elders here."
"Are you also from my Xu family?" the old man asked.
"I don't dare to have a random relationship with the master's family, but there is indeed a genealogy that can be checked." The scholar surnamed Xu said quickly, "The elders may not remember the younger generation, but at last year's ancestral hall meeting, the younger generation also had sex with several The elders have only seen each other from a distance, but the younger generation is down and out, shy and does not dare to come forward and talk to the elders."
"Since we are of the same race, we are relatives, so how can we not be ashamed if we are not in poverty?" The old man sat leaning on his stick, "What's more, we are of the same race, but we failed to help. It's us who should be ashamed."
"It's a blessing that this junior can study for a few days."
"Have you ever read a book?"
"Thanks to my master, I set up a school field and opened a charity village to support my life and let me study. The juniors also studied for a few days."
"How is your knowledge?"
"I don't dare to take it out and show it to my eyes. I just borrow the book and read it when I have nothing to do. I feel satisfied after reading some of the teachings of the sages." The scholar surnamed Xu replied respectfully.
"Um……"
The old man sat on it and nodded.
He seemed very satisfied.
Although the two parties were of the same race, they were not familiar with each other, and their conversations were polite and cautious. However, the courtesy of this young man made him feel very satisfied.
The relationship between a large family like theirs is complex, deep, and inextricably linked. This kind of kinship relationship is both recognized by themselves and widely recognized by the current society. Young people of the same race, especially young people who have received support from their masters, will almost never be able to distance themselves from their masters no matter what achievements they make in the future, whether in business, politics, or military affairs. Of course, in this process, as long as you show your ability, the host will often provide you with help. This kind of help is often one-sided in the early stage.
It's just that the Xu family has been here for too long and is too scattered. No matter how powerful they are, it's impossible to take good care of everyone.
If this young man is really of good character and motivated, and is a member of the Xu family, it would be fine if he didn't know him before. But now that he has known him, and has a deeper connection with him, the old man doesn't mind focusing on cultivating him.
"Let me ask you! Are you really willing to go down into the well tonight and bring out those incompetent brothers of yours from the evil cave?"
"I can't guarantee whether I can bring him out or not, but I will definitely dare to go for a walk, and I promise to go all out."
"Do you know there are evil spirits down there?"
"Who knows in Fuyao City?"
"Okay! So brave!"
"This junior is not brave, I just think about my family's kindness. I heard that my family has been disturbed by evil spirits this year. Firstly, I feel sad that my family is kind but being deceived by evil spirits. Secondly, I also want to share my family's worries. I want to repay my master’s kindness for sponsoring my studies, but the younger generation is not very capable and can’t help.” The scholar surnamed Xu raised his hand and said, “I went to the city today to return the books and saw my uncle offering a reward in the downtown area, but no one dared to accept it. I was very anxious and worried. I heard that if things go on like this, there will be magic weapons from the masters to help, and the demons and ghosts will not invade, and the evil spirits will not disturb me. I thought to myself, then what is there to be afraid of? Here it comes!"
"Good boy!"
The old man praised again, his eyes becoming more and more appreciative, and then asked: "Then you tell me, there are so many heroes in the downtown area, all of them are brave people, why don't they dare to accept this reward?"
"The first is the fear of evil spirits, the second is the fear of deep pits, and the third is the fear of trapping others."
"good good good good!"
The old man nodded repeatedly, waved his hand, and asked the servants at home to prepare the dinner, and then said: "Those three boys in the cave have degenerated themselves and refused to change despite repeated admonitions. They can't control their lower bodies, and they can't even control their legs. I think even if there weren't the people in the well, Yaoxie, it’s hard to have any great future in this life. I’ll leave it to you tonight, go down into the dry well, and bring him out if you can. If you can’t, my Xu family will also have a good young man!”
The scholar surnamed Xu could only salute but dare not speak.
The others all glanced at him.
Only the Taoist smiled and looked at the scholar. When they both stopped talking, he gave him a slight salute and said, "I didn't expect to see each other again, and I didn't expect that we would be polite so soon."
"Thank you sir..."
"It's our turn to thank you."
When everyone heard this, they were confused and surprised.
"You don't know anything. We passed through Fuyao at noon yesterday. We ran out of dry food and saw no shops. We were very thirsty and there was no stream. So we asked this gentleman for water. He saw that we were Taoists and was worried about the evil spirits in your house. Thanks to your kindness, we are invited to come to Fuyao City to see if we can be of help." Song You smiled slightly and explained to them.
Everyone was surprised when they heard this.
Looking at the scholar surnamed Xu, his eyes also changed a bit.
"You must be careful every step you take. The bamboo stick below can protect you from evil spirits and evil spells, but you must hold it tightly. If you cannot stabilize your heart and are deceived by external objects, or If you were deceived by the evil spirit and voluntarily put down the bamboo stick in your hand, you may not be able to come up after you go down." Song You warned the scholar surnamed Xu again.
"Xu is willing to give it a try."
"After I go down, I want to ask you one more thing."
"I don't know what's going on?"
"If you can talk to those evil creatures, then ask them for me, when and why they came here."
"Will they answer Xu?"
"Once you get down to it, you know how to get them to answer."
"How to say?"
"Now that I'm talking about it, I wouldn't even believe it." Song You looked at the bamboo stick in his hand, "When you hold the stick to the bottom, you will naturally know it."
"Xu takes note."
The scholar named Xu nodded solemnly.
Then the old man called his servants, arranged a seat for the scholar named Xu, asked him to sit down, and began to wait for the dinner.
During this period, everyone was chatting, talking about the villain in the evening. They spent a whole day digging a rockery pit in the courtyard. They dug out an unknown number of four-legged snakes. The eldest son Xu who had gone out was also surprised.
The scholar surnamed Xu also looked at Song You repeatedly. Seeing that Song You's expression remained calm and calm, as if he had not changed, he felt a little more confident about tonight.
…
That evening, after the dinner.
The sky has already darkened.
As everyone in the Xu family said, as soon as the sky darkened, the faint sound of singing, dancing, piano and harp could be heard from the dry well in the courtyard, and the faint voices of women chatting and laughing could be heard, which made people yearn for it.
Everyone in the Xu family gathered in front of the yard.
Standing at the front were undoubtedly Song You, Sanhua Empress, the scholar surnamed Xu and the old man.
The scholar surnamed Xu held a lantern and brought it close to the mouth of the well.
During the day, you can still see the bottom of the dry well, but now you can only see the faint light. I don't know how deep it is. There are depressions in the wall of the well. It used to go straight to the bottom and could be stepped on, but now there is no end.
The scholar surnamed Xu couldn't help but be secretly afraid.
But just when he was feeling uneasy, the girl who followed Mr. Song and didn't like to talk to outsiders tilted her head and asked him: "Did you eat the mouse that Empress Sanhua gave you yesterday?"
"this……"
How could anyone ask such a question at this time?
However, the scholar surnamed Xu was reluctant to answer, so he had to bite the bullet and said: "I haven't eaten yet..."
"Why don't you eat?"
The girl continued to ask, tilting her head.
"I...I haven't had time to eat yet." The scholar surnamed Xu was confused. "Besides, the family is in a difficult situation and has little meat. The meat given by the fairy boy is good meat. I plan to keep it and eat it slowly in the future."
"It doesn't matter. Then when you come up, Sanhua Empress will give you another one to eat."
"Just borrow the fairy boy's auspicious words..."
"Who is the Fairy Boy?"
"You..."
"What good news?"
"As long as Xu can come up..."
"Oh..." the little girl understood and trailed off, "Don't be afraid. My Taoist priest is very powerful. If you hold this bamboo and don't let go, no matter how powerful the monsters are, they won't be able to hit you. If they don't If they let you come back, you can beat them with bamboos."
"good!"
Children's words are always more likely to be believed.
What's more, the Sanhua Empress is really beautiful, her body is spotless and white, she is like a fairy child. From her mouth, people are naturally willing to believe that people are powerful.
The scholar surnamed Xu thought about it, but he really couldn't think of anything they could do to deceive him, so he took courage from his heart and dispelled his anxiety. He gritted his teeth and turned around and said: "It's useless to wait for a long time. It's better to go down early and take care of a few people." Brother, please bring me here so that the master can get rid of the demon as soon as possible."
He paused for a moment, then turned back and said:
"If... if something happens to the junior, and the elders in the family are gone, there is nothing to worry about. It's just that the daughter of Liu Butcher's family in the same village has a marriage contract with the junior. They only wait until they are old to get married, but they have to bother the main family to go there. Tell me to cancel the engagement and don't delay my marriage. It would be better if the host family can help find a good family."
"Good nephew..."
"My dear nephew, don't say these words! Please put your life first when you go down! As long as your dear nephew can come up, we will treat you as if you were our own!"
"Young people must be careful!"
Everyone in the Xu family was deeply moved.
Even Song You smiled.
The scholar surnamed Xu no longer hesitated. He took a bamboo stick in his hand and a lantern in his mouth. He went up to the edge of the well, feet first, stepped on the depression in the well wall, and supported the well wall with his hands, and walked down bit by bit.
Halfway through, I felt it was inconvenient, so I simply threw the lantern out and walked alone in the dark.
Everyone was surprised by his courage.
The head of the Xu family turned his head left and right, scanning his descendants, especially the young people of the younger generation. Many people lowered their heads, and many were stubborn and disobedient, but they did not dare to say a word.
Sanhua Empress couldn't help but lie down by the well, opened her eyes wide, and looked down with curiosity.
The dry well has become really deep.
It is deep and dark, with occasional flashes of light underneath, accompanied by the sound of singing, dancing and playing, and the delicate laughter of women, giving people a creepy feeling.
The scholar surnamed Xu slowly went down, his figure getting smaller and smaller.
From time to time there was the sound of him sliding, accompanied by small exclamations. Until an irreversible slippage caused him to fall directly. Everyone heard the exclamation, which seemed to come from far away.
The scholar's figure was swallowed up by darkness in the blink of an eye.
"Can't see anymore..."
The little girl turned around and said to her Taoist priest.
"Um……"
Song You looked calm.
