Witch Containment Log

Chapter 44 The Rebirth of the Ruined Garden
Wearing the carefully sewn cotton prison uniform, Xiaofeng felt like he had been reborn.

"An An Hospital will be your new home from now on." Zhang Su took Xiao Feng away.

"Oh?" Xiaofeng seemed to understand.

According to the official instruction manual of the Witch Countermeasure Bureau, Bee is not considered a witch, but is a "derivative" of Youfa Lin.But she has a lively manner and is petite and approachable.Zhang Su tried his best to take care of her in his previous life. In the end, Little Bee also worked hard to conceive many babies and opened up his own insect colony with a bright future.

She followed Zhang Su to the open space between the east prison area and the northern administrative building. There was a row of low bluestone walls and an abandoned garden behind it.

"Anxinyuan was a place like a monastery in ancient times, used to guard witches." Zhang Su looked at the garden, which was an abandoned scene.

"..." Xiaofeng suddenly became a little dazed and lost his mind.

Youfa Lin has been sleeping, but she can resonate in her sleep.Zhang Su thought.Bee must be diverted to something else.

"Are you okay?" Zhang Su stepped forward.

"I want to see my mother. If I can't see my mother, I will..." Xiaofeng murmured to herself.

"Xiao Feng, work with me so you can see her." Zhang Su interrupted her.

"..." The golden mist covering Xiaofeng's eyes temporarily receded, as if she had recovered from a dream, she raised her head and looked at Zhang Su.

"Did you hear what I just said?" Zhang Su repeated.

"...work..." Xiaofeng murmured.

"This is the garden." Zhang Su pointed to a small stone altar at the end of the garden. "That is the stone where the ancient Bodhisattva sat when talking to mortals. There are three moss-covered rocks next to it, representing the Buddha and his disciples. During the Warring States Period, some thieves once They invaded An'an courtyard and stole the stones, but one night later, the stones mysteriously returned to An'an courtyard, and the thieves were so impressed by the miracle that they took refuge here."

"What is a Bodhisattva?" Xiaofeng was confused.

"There is a way for witches to 'ascend'. The end of their cultivation is to go to the spiritual world. They are regarded by ancient people as achieving enlightenment and becoming immortals. Witches in this way are extremely powerful and can absorb people's wishes. Modern technology has found out , the spiritual world is another world connected to us." Zhang Su said.

Xiaofeng walked towards the big stone "Bodhisattva Seat" and closed her eyes to feel it carefully.

"..." Xiaofeng looked particularly calm.

"You must have the foundation of 'spiritual vision'." Zhang Su knew that Xiaofeng's spirit was very sharp.

"There are some cracks and some passages, but no one has used them for a long time..." Xiaofeng groped for the air.

"'Bodhisattva' may come back to An'an Hospital in the future, so let's clean up the garden." Zhang Su said.

The guardian of Anxinyuan will appear three years later, but feels threatened by the gate of hell, so he chooses to escape into the spirit world.

If the gate to hell can be destroyed or sealed in this life, maybe she can be allowed to stay and help.

Bee saw that there were only dead branches and leaves in the garden, which was a desolate scene, and some rare flower seeds were also scattered here and there.

She carefully sniffed the lingering floral fragrance in the air and walked in on her own.

"It's broken now." She observed carefully.

"We have to renovate this place." Zhang Su led Xiaofeng through the overgrown garden and towards the ancient stone well in the center of the garden. It stood on several large bluestone slabs and was covered with vines.

"Start from this well?" Xiaofeng approached the well.She could guess that the garden had once been glorious and beautiful, but was now as dilapidated as the asylum itself.

"Yes. Let's start from here." Zhang Su stared at the mouth of the well. The vines were densely entangled, almost completely covering it. He grabbed one of the vines and pulled hard, but it didn't move at all.

"I'm here to help!" Xiaofeng grabbed Zhang Su's waist from behind and worked hard with him.

pull!
Zhang Su kicked the ground with his heels and used all his strength. The thick vines wrapped around the well wall made a tearing sound and suddenly broke.

Xiaofeng quickly backed away, and Zhang Su also took a few steps back and threw away the fist-thick vine in his hand.

"This thing is so tough." Zhang Su pulled at the vines, which should be used to weave them into ropes.

"I can't see the bottom. How deep is it?" The bee cleared away the remaining vegetation and could now see into the well.

"One person will not enter the temple, two people will not look into the well, and three people will not lift the tree." Zhang Su walked to the opposite side of Xiaofeng, lowered his head and looked down, "This is 30 meters deep."

"What do you mean? One person, two people, three people?" Xiaofeng was puzzled.

"It means that if the ancient temple is in ruins, there may be bad people hiding inside, and a person may be killed if he goes in; if the well is deep, if one person looks at it, another person may push him down; if the tree is lifted, if the person in front saves effort, the two people behind will One person will suffer, the person behind will save effort, and the two in front will suffer, and there will always be conflicts." Zhang Sudao.

They worked together to clear away the gravel and leaves. The next step was to lift the broken bucket from the bottom of the well.Zhang Su turned the old lacquered wood handle and pulled out the bucket, and water gurgled from the bottom of the well.

"It's so scary. I'm afraid a dead head will be pulled out of the bucket." Little Bee nervously said scary words.

"Don't worry. I'm worried that these mechanical structures are rusty, but it shouldn't be." Zhang Su inspected the old pulleys.

They were made of bronze, at least 500 years ago. As he turned, the patina peeled off inch by inch, drifting down into the shadows of the well until it completely disappeared.

Xiaofeng stared at the rope and saw Zhang Su rolling up his sleeves and turning the pulley. Gradually, her eyes couldn't help but shift from the rope to Zhang Su's arm. That arm was really strong, strong and full of muscles.And he was so tall, he looked like a giant.

He steadily lifted the bucket from it. He untied the bucket and soaked it in the ancient well for who knows how many years. The bucket was filled with black water.

"This water is too silty, we have to clean it up." Little Bee was scared after seeing it.

"That's why I called you here. I have to put you down and let you dig mud at the bottom of the well." Zhang Su said.

He poured the water out of the bucket, and the little bee shivered.

"Me? Going to such a dark place?" Xiaofeng was afraid.

"You are very light. I can just tie you up with this vine and put you down."

"I'm afraid!" said Little Bee.She thought about the two people not looking at the well again, and she immediately shrank.

"Do you trust me? I will never let go, I will never sink you, and I will definitely bring you up when in danger." Zhang Su looked into Xiao Feng's eyes.

"...I..." Xiaofeng said weakly, "...Okay...you...you must not let go?"

Zhang Su nodded.

He took a shovel, a brush, a hand shovel and a tin bucket from the warehouse, and then tied thick vines to the bee's body and tied it with a knot to secure it.

"I've caught it. I'm going to put you down slowly." Zhang Su asked Xiaofeng to stand at the mouth of the well.

"I'm afraid!" Xiaofeng looked down at the dark bottom of the well, which looked like it was leading to the void.

"Don't worry." Zhang Su's binding skills are very strong, and there will be a witch in the future who particularly likes this.

He first grabbed the vines, then put the little bee down. She was holding a bucket filled with tools in one hand, holding the wall with the other hand, and then entered the darkness little by little.

"Are you okay?" Zhang Su watched Xiaofeng enter the dark shadow at the bottom of the well.

"It's so quiet down there!" Little Bee gradually resigned herself to fate and no longer supported the well wall with her hands, letting herself go down.

Zhang Su continued to lower the rope steadily until Xiaofeng shouted "It's over!"

Zhang Su tightened the vine and waited, and could only hear the sound of the bees working hard to dig out the mud at the bottom of the well and scrubbing the walls, echoing all the way up the well wall.

About 10 minutes later, Zhang Su felt Xiaofeng pull the rope.

"Take me up!" Xiao Feng shouted from a distance, and Zhang Su felt like he was hundreds of meters away.

He slowly pulled Little Bee up. At this time, Little Bee's bucket was filled with silt, making it even heavier. Her body was slowly pulled out of the well mouth, and she hurriedly threw away all the mud, moss and gravel in the bucket. .

Zhang Su glanced at the mud. It was terrifying. The mud was rich in rotten leaves, plankton and debris for many years.

"Huh, huh..." Xiaofeng gasped.

"What? It's safe, right?" Zhang Su said.

"It turns out that the bricks on both sides of the bottom were blocked by mud. I dug them out with my hands." Xiaofeng showed Zhang Su his dirty hands, "Now the bottom of the water is clean!"

"Xiao Feng worked so hard." Zhang Su praised, "Now we can tidy up the garden again."

"Little Bee likes the garden." Little Bee became happy.

Compared with the dark bottom of the well, the garden outside is lovely no matter how messy it is.

Zhang Su observed her eyes, and there was no longer the phantom mist of Youfa Lin's influence under her sight.It's time to live on your own, little bee.
