Why don't you have a normal person on board?

Chapter 417 The Well
"It wasn't very easy to talk there just now." During the process of leading the way, the woman showed an awkward smile on her face, "People in this village don't like me very much, please don't mind."

Xianhe thought: "I don't mind, as long as they don't make my brain feel like it's going to explode when they approach me."

Guided by the woman, they soon came to a house that was almost on the edge of the village. This house looked very simple, but the surrounding environment looked much better than other houses. It should be the owner of the house. There is thoughtful weeding and cleans up surrounding environment.

"Come in and sit down first." The woman pushed open the door in front of her and made a gesture of invitation. "There may be some chaos at home, please don't mind."

Xianhe didn't rush into the room, "Aren't you on guard against me? I shouldn't be from your village at first glance, right?"

The woman pursed her lips when she heard the words, "It's not necessary, because I'm not really from this village, it's just that they took me in. In essence, I'm also a half-foreigner."

Now that the other party has mentioned this point, Xianhe is also more curious about the fact that the woman can eliminate the mental influence, so he walked into the house.

There is indeed some chaos in the house, and the woman is right about this.

The narrow room, the dim environment, and the fluttering candles all prove that this is a village with a low level of development.

"Please sit down." The woman barely vacated a wooden deformed chair among a pile of debris - at least this chair was more like a chair than everything around her.

Xianhe was just about to sit down, but suddenly heard a strange movement from the corner of the house, as if something was wriggling inside.

Rich combat experience made Xianhe stand up subconsciously, looking behind vigilantly, but he could only see the outline of a person under a piece of plastic sheeting.

"Don't worry about it," the woman explained in a smooth manner. "It's just a child. He is blind and can't see the surroundings clearly. I think he is too pitiful, so I took him in. Don't be so nervous."

"Okay, I was a little nervous." The mental impact just now really gave Xianhe a very negative impression, otherwise he wouldn't be as vigilant as he is now, "You said before that you are also half a stranger ,What does it mean?"

The woman lit a candle, then opened the book in her hand, read the book by the candlelight, and replied: "I am not a child born in this village, I was picked up by the well." , and then raised by them.

"20 years ago, they found me abandoned by the well in the village. After asking a lot of villagers, they didn't know whose family I was a child, so in desperation, they brought me up. Big, and then put it in this utility room that no one has used for a long time."

It turned out to be the utility room... No wonder there are so many messy things here.

Xianhe thought it was a house at first, but unexpectedly it was a utility room.

It seems that the treatment of this woman in this village is quite average.

"What about you?" The woman asked suddenly, her eyes were beautiful, "Where did you come from?"

In order to wait for the woman to ask Tongqiu this question, and the latter replied, "The poor monk came from the Eastern Tang Dynasty", Xianhe decisively chose to answer this question, "We are from a far away place, right? , I also asked a few villagers just now, and they all said that they didn’t know where we came from.”

This is a typical questionable answer, but anyone with a good IQ will realize that Xianhe is hiding something and cannot make up a decent answer, so he gave this statement.

However, Xian He left Tong Qiu a little room to play, otherwise the two people's confessions would not match, and they would be considered liars at a glance.

But the woman didn't seem to care about it, she just nodded symbolically, and then turned to the next page of the book with her fingers, "Then what are you going to do when you come to our village? Are you going to borrow some food and Water, or do you want to live temporarily for a while?"

This crane really couldn't answer, her purpose was to help Tong Qiu, and Tong Qiu was still looking for information from MI[-], so she really couldn't give any answer for a while.

"I don't know too much. Ask my other companion later, he is the one who decides between the two of us."

Nodding her head, before the woman could reply, Xianhe suddenly felt something and raised her hand.

Snapped--

The window of the utility room was instantly shattered, and a small rock flew in, and it actually came directly towards the woman's face!

Fortunately, the crane reacted in time, its raised right hand had already intercepted the flying stones in mid-air, turned around, and looked for the culprit in the field of vision outside the window.

"It's okay." The woman stopped the crane's movement, with a bitter smile on her face, "This is a very normal thing. Recently, the sky has been raining stones. It may be meteors. It's a pity that I didn't have time to make a wish."

Xianhe looked at the woman who was enjoying herself in bitterness, and didn't know what to say.This was obviously an attack aimed at her. Since the woman stopped her behavior, Xian He, as a foreigner, must not be able to intervene directly.

However, there is one thing that is very strange.

Xian He stared at the woman's face, only to find that a scar appeared on her face at some point.

Strange...was it scratched by glass?
"Okay, don't worry about these things," the woman turned her head, and put her eyes on the book in front of her again, "You can rest here for a while, anyway, no one will come here on weekdays, as long as you are careful Just a little bit of that child, he can't see anything, I still need to trouble you to look a little bit."

dong dong dong-

Suddenly there was a knock on the door, the woman responded, and a man's voice came in from outside the door, "The funeral procession is coming back, you are responsible for fetching some water from the well, everyone needs to cleanse themselves."

"I understand." The woman who had just sat down for less than 5 minutes pulled out a black feather with a white tip, and used it as a bookmark between the pages of the book, then closed the book, got up and prepared to leave.

Xian He knew exactly what would happen if he left the woman, so he also stood up and asked, "Can I go with you? Get water."

The woman was a little surprised, because she didn't expect Xianhe to say this sentence.

But she still smiled and agreed, "Okay, but you have to promise me one thing.

"When you get to the well, you must listen to me."
