Chapter 45

The three of them rested for a while and continued to move forward.

The little stone pointed to a dense pine and cypress in the depths of the forest not far away: "My lord, the well is under that tree."

Su Jizhi looked around, not knowing, so he said, "Little Stone, there is no road here, who usually walks here?"

"Just say yes, this well has been abandoned for many years. A long time ago, it is said that someone jumped into the well here, and then it was abandoned. No one came again, but this was all before I was born."

Su Jizhi looked up at the towering pines and cypresses, then turned to Wan Yan and said, "Follow me carefully."

Xiao Shitou smiled at the side: "Sister, are you also from the yamen?"

Wan Yan didn't know how to answer, Su Jizhi said first: "She is here to solve the case, so you can tell her what you have to say."

Little Shitou chuckled: "Sister looks so good-looking, she doesn't look like an investigator."

Su Ji made a sharp eye, Xiao Shitou shut his mouth belatedly.

Under the pines and cypresses, there is a dry well with arms stretched as wide as possible. The mouth of the well is stacked with rocks, there are several gaps, and weeds are overgrown around the well.

"The last time it rained was about half a month ago." Su Jizhi said, looking into the well.

The bottom of the well is deep and there is no light, so you can't see clearly.

Su Jizhi turned around and asked Wan Yan in a very low voice, "Is there any special smell?"

Wan Yan stepped forward, not wanting Shi Shi to see the clue, pretending to look inside, bent down, and took a deep sniff.

Standing up, the little girl shook her head, and said softly, "Only the smell of dust is mixed with broken and rotten leaves."

Su Jizhi picked up a stone and threw it into the well, and there was a muffled sound: "There is no water in the well."

Only then did the little stone know what Su Jizhi wanted to do: "My lord, this is a dry well. There has been no water for a long time. I have gone down it. It is easy to go up and down by stepping on the convex stone beside the well. There is nothing in it."

Su Jizhi stretched his head to look into the well again, then lifted up the hem of his shirt: "Wan Yan, you and Shishi are here, I'll go down and have a look."

"No, my lord." Wan Yan grabbed Su Jizhi's arm nervously.

"Nothing." Su Jizhi looked relaxed, "Go back and explain to you, I just went down to confirm what I thought."

Wan Yan was so frightened that she stopped again and again: "No, I don't know what's going on down there, it's very dangerous."

"Don't worry." Su Jizhi took off his hat and put it in Wan Yan's hand: "Hold it, there will be no problem. This is a dry well, and it's not deep. The stone will make a sound quickly when it hits the ground, trust me."

Putting the hat in her hand, your lord has made up his mind.

Wan Yan still wanted to stop it, but Su Jizhi had already grasped the edge of the dry well and slowly descended.

"My lord, you have to be careful."

Su Jizhi had already retreated to the edge of the well, raised his eyes and took a deep look at Wan Yan, his eyes were deep and boundless, as vast as a river of stars.

Wan Yan jumped a few times and rushed to the edge of the well, staring at Su Jizhi's head slowly sinking.

Soon Su Jizhi stopped moving.

Wan Yan saw him raise his head, and she could see his eyebrows clearly, "My lord, how are you?"

"There's nothing at the bottom of the well." Su Jizhi's voice floated in the well, seeming very far away, "I'll go up after taking a look."

Su Jizhi lowered his head, Wan Yan breathed a sigh of relief.

Little Shitou Wanyan asked in a very low voice: "Sister, do you like adults?"

Wan Yan shuddered.

"I knew that in the future, I would also find a girl who cared about me. A woman like Qian Xi'er would definitely not work."

Wan Yan patted her hot face, amused by the little stone.

At this moment, Su Jizhi said, "I'm going up."

Little Shitou didn't take it seriously: "Let me just say, there is nothing in the well, how could there be ghosts? How many times have I gone down there."

Xiao Shitou stared at Su Jizhi's slowly rising head, and asked: "Master Su, is there nothing? I didn't lie to you."

Su Jizhi moved up slowly, and when he was still an arm away from the mouth of the well, he jumped out.

"Yes, you are right. Most of the well is dead branches and leaves, as well as stones and sand. Nothing was found."

that's it?
Wan Yan was puzzled.

Why does the grown-up look more relaxed than before?Seems to have found something amazing.

"My lord, have you really not noticed?"

"Yes, it's still a very big discovery. Let's go and confirm the ruined temple in the east of the village. If my analysis is correct, we will make another discovery. I will tell you what happened then."

"Oh my god, your lord is too amazing, you don't see it for a while, why didn't I see anything?" Wan Yan was at a loss.

Little Shitou echoed: "Yes, pretty sister, I'm just like you, I've been down the dry well many times, and I can't understand what the adults say."

When Su Jizhi heard the words "beautiful sister", his originally relaxed face became serious instantly, and he said coldly to Xiao Shitou, "Let's go, let's go to the next stop."

Along the way, Xiao Shitou spoke several times, but Su Jizhi didn't ask as frequently as when he came here. Xiao Shitou's eyes wandered between Wan Yan and Mr. Su.

After a while, his eyes chattered, and he understood what was wrong.

So when he was about to reach the east of the village, Xiao Shitou shouted: "Master Su, Sister Guancha, this place is not far from my house. My lord and Sister Guancha walked all the way. I'll go get some water."

Su Jizhi glanced at Wan Yan, the little girl's face was flushed, and there were beads of sweat on the tip of her nose.

In such a hot summer, with such a temperature, the little girl went berserk, yet she remained silent.

"Alright, if there are watermelons in the village, you can bring one back. I'll wait for you in the gazebo in front. It's not far from the temple, right?"

Xiao Shitou was secretly happy, he guessed right, just now he called you pretty sister, adults didn't like it.

"Yes, my lord, there are watermelons in my field, I'll go and bring one back, my lord will wait for me."

After Xiao Shitou finished speaking, he ran away. Su Jizhi handed him two cents, but he didn't take it.

"Go, go to the front and rest, do you have a lot to ask me?"

Wan Yan smiled: "My lord is wise."

The two walked into the gazebo, saying that it was a gazebo, but it was just a thatched shed with two wooden boards placed horizontally and four wooden strips, and the roof was covered with vines.

Su Jizhi took out the handkerchief, opened it and put it on the wooden board, pretending to straighten his robes without saying a word, and slowly sat down beside the handkerchief.

Wan Yan lowered her eyes and sat lightly on the handkerchief.

The lord is right beside her, surrounded by the pleasant scent of sandalwood.

"Thank you, my lord." Wan Yan felt a little embarrassed when she thought about wiping her mouth with a handkerchief yesterday, and another handkerchief today.

"Don't be embarrassed, Yang Yuanwai has sent the title deed of Qingyang Calligraphy and Painting Studio today. If you have time tomorrow, help me make money."

Wan Yan was very happy.

Su Jizhi looked ahead, slowly took off his hat, and the breeze blew on his forehead.

Wan Yan saw that his forehead was also covered with beads of sweat.

"My lord." Wan Yan reached for the hat and took out her champagne from her sleeve.

She handed it to the lord, and the handkerchief stopped between the two of them, but the lord didn't pick it up.

Wan Yan was stunned, adults dislike her?

The little girl bit her lower lip, and found that the adult's eyes were shining with a faint smile.

The adults' foreheads are getting closer and closer.

Wan Yan blushed and understood.

Hold the handkerchief and gently press the adult's forehead.

My lord, how can this be so?

So embarrassed!

"What about those words of admiration? Let's hear it!"

Wan Yan shook her hand and pressed Su Jizhi's forehead firmly!

"Hahaha!" The adult laughed happily.

Wan Yan pretended to be angry, raised her eyes and secretly looked at the handsome face of the adult.

He was tanned and smug.

Wan Yan could see the shallow stubble on his upper lip.

Wiping the sweat off her forehead for the adults, her heart beat faster.
