Chapter 125: Strange Sounds from the Well Aunt Lu slapped her thigh and said, "Well, this is a rather evil thing to say..." But he had just said half a sentence when several people living in the same room and their families looked over. Bai Fengyu lived in an ordinary ward, with eight people in a room. Together with her family members, there were more than ten people sitting or standing in the room. Aunt Lu was not stupid. She realized immediately that this place was not appropriate. She stopped talking and smiled unnaturally: "It's nothing, I just didn't walk carefully and fell down~ I fell down." Ning Weidong frowned slightly, knowing that it was not that simple, but this was indeed not the place to talk, so he nodded and did not ask any more questions. He turned to look at Bai Fengyu, and then asked Aunt Lu: "What did the doctor say? Is the situation serious?" Aunt Lu said, "It's said that his lower leg was broken. It has just been reset and put in a cast. But it takes a hundred days for a broken bone to heal, so I'm afraid it will take some time to heal." Ning Weidong nodded. It was pretty much what he had expected. There shouldn't be any problems if he went to the orthopedics department. The worst result would be a serious fracture that might leave him disabled. But judging from Bai Fengyu's situation, it should be far from that. I was fine, so why did you end up in the hospital? At this time, the Bai Fengyu sisters vented their emotions and gradually calmed down. Bai Fengqin kept saying that they should have come back earlier.
Bai Fengyu didn't care. Instead, she comforted her with a few words. Then she turned to look at Ning Weidong. Her eyes were full of words, but she couldn't say them. Ning Weidong said to Aunt Lu, "Aunt Lu, why don't you go back and take a rest first? You've been busy for a long time." Aunt Lu looked at Bai Fengqin and nodded, "Okay, now that Fengqin is here, I feel relieved. Fengyu, I will go back first. You take good care of yourself, and I will come back tomorrow." Bai Fengyu nodded and said thank you, and Bai Fengqin also stood up and thanked Aunt Lu profusely. Ning Weidong said, "Fengqin, look after your sister. I'll go see Aunt Lu off." Aunt Lu knew that Ning Weidong wanted to come out to ask about the situation, so she did not refuse. The two of them left the ward and came to the corridor. Ning Weidong asked, "Aunt Lu, it was inconvenient because there were so many people just now. Can you tell me what happened?" A trace of panic flashed across Aunt Lu's face, and she organized her words: "I'm not sure about this matter, but it sounds a bit evil..." Ning Weidong and Aunt Lu went to a deserted place at the side of the corridor and listened to Aunt Lu's account of the whole incident. In fact, Aunt Lu’s information was not first-hand. She heard it from Bai Fengyu after the incident. It turned out that Bai Fengyu had something to do today and had to work overtime at the neighborhood committee. This is not called overtime. Any work beyond the eight hours a day is called voluntary labor and is spontaneous. Bai Fengyu had finally managed to get a job in the neighborhood committee, so naturally she wanted to take an active role and be at the forefront of anything that happened. But today something happened. There is a well in the yard of their neighborhood committee office, which is said to be hundreds of years old. Due to the terrain, most of the groundwater in the capital is bitter, with only a small part being sweet water wells. This made sweet water wells a scarce resource, and before running water was available, many people had to buy water. These wells have also become a resource that some less powerful gangs fight over. Sometimes, the person who looks after the well had to be replaced within a week, especially during the war years when human life was worthless.
The well where Bai Fengyu lives in the neighborhood committee is said to be the site of several major battles a year before liberation, in which dozens of people died. The blood flowed into the well, turning the water red. Later, it was reported that the well was not clean and someone sealed the well mouth with large stones. Later, after liberation, it was opened and used again, but it didn't take long before running water was available. However, just yesterday, when Bai Fengyu was about to get off work and go home when it was almost dark, she suddenly heard strange noises coming from the bottom of the well! It was almost dark at the time, and Bai Fengyu was with another auntie from the neighborhood committee. They both heard the noise and were startled. At this time, no one dared to mention supernatural powers. Although the two were startled, they didn't dare to say anything and just walked out in a hurry. But at this moment, Bai Fengyu was doomed to be unlucky. When she was going down the stairs, she tripped and fell, and she broke her bones! After understanding the general situation, Ning Weidong didn't know what to say. Bai Fengyu was just unlucky to get injured this time. As for what was going on in the well, Aunt Lu couldn't explain it in a few words. After seeing off Aunt Lu, Ning Weidong returned to the ward. Bai Fengyu was lying with a plaster cast on her leg. When she saw Ning Weidong coming back, she asked, "Is Aunt Lu gone~" Ning Weidong just said "hmm" and didn't ask about the condition of the well. There are many people in the room, and this matter is too weird, it would be bad if others heard it. Bai Fengyu was very concerned. She opened her mouth, hesitated, and finally asked, "Did she tell you everything?" When I talk about this, I still feel scared and my voice trembles a little. Ning Weidong nodded, feeling somewhat confused. Just now he heard Aunt Lu say that most people did not believe that there was something strange happening in the well. But Bai Fengyu's current condition made him feel a little confused. Could it be that something strange was really happening? The main reason is that Ning Weidong himself is not very scientific. If you really say that there are unclean things in this world, he is not completely unable to accept it. Ning Weidong reached out and patted Bai Fengyu's arm that was exposed outside the quilt, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, I will ask the comrades from the police station to go over this matter later. Don't you see what era it is now? Even if there is something wrong, it will be dealt with separately." Bai Fengyu smiled when she heard this. She couldn't really explain what was going on, but she felt much more relieved when she heard Ning Weidong say this. On the contrary, Bai Fengqin who was standing next to them was totally confused and had no idea what the two were talking about. Ning Weidong did not stay long. On the surface, he and Bai Fengyu were neighbors, so it was okay for him to come and see if something happened, but if he stayed too long, which was beyond normal, it would be easy for people to gossip about him. He left twenty dollars and said goodbye. Bai Fengyu did not refuse and gave Bai Fengqin a look to ask her to accept it. Bai Fengqin was a little surprised and didn't quite understand why Ning Weidong gave so much money. At that time, the average state-owned enterprise worker earned only 40 yuan a month, and 20 yuan was equivalent to half a month's salary.
If it were before Ning Weidong traveled through time, it would be around three to four thousand yuan. To visit a patient in the hospital, even if you give two or three hundred dollars, it's enough. At most, you can give five hundred dollars. What's more, now he actually left twenty dollars behind. What does this mean? I don't usually see Ning Weidong and Bai Fengyu being so close~ Bai Fengqin was confused, and looking at Bai Fengyu's expression, it seemed that she felt quite at ease taking the money. Ning Weidong didn't care about Bai Fengqin's thoughts and rode his bike back from the hospital. When you come to Fuchengmen Street, you can see the top of the White Pagoda Temple which is under repair from afar under the cover of night, with a lamp hanging on the fence of the repair work. Across the street is a construction site that has been demolished. The construction waste has been transported away, and it’s pitch black, and it’s creepy to look at. Ning Weidong rode his bike through and went straight home. He had just come back and before he reached the East Courtyard he was called away by Bai Fengqin. Ning Weiguo and Wang Yuzhen thought he had just come back. "Weidong, you just came back~" Wang Yuzhen asked with a smile. Coming back so late meant that he got along well with Zhao Ruyu during the day. Ning Weidong took off his coat and said, "Actually, I just came back and met Bai Fengqin from the wing room at the door..." He blah blah told Bai Fengyu about her injuries and fractures. Ning Weiguo and Wang Yuzhen were both a little surprised. Although Wang Yuzhen looked down on Bai Fengyu, she was not so much gloating as to ask what was going on. Ning Weidong only said that it was an accidental fall, and did not mention that there was anything strange about the well in the neighborhood committee courtyard. It is best not to talk nonsense about such groundless rumors without solid evidence. Wang Yuzhen sighed: "I saw him this morning and he was fine." Ning Weiguo didn't say anything. Bai Fengyu was a single beautiful woman. Wang Yuzhen could express her feelings, but he couldn't express his opinion casually, otherwise he would easily fall into a trap. A man can only live a happy life if he controls his mouth. Ning Weidong didn't say much. He just mentioned it briefly and then stopped talking about his date with Zhao Ruyu during the day. Ning Weiguo and his wife didn't know about the progress of Ning Weidong and Zhao Ruyu, and were a little worried that Zhao Ruyu, the eldest daughter, would be difficult to get along with. …… The next day, Ning Weidong got up early and rode his bicycle to the factory. I was still thinking about Bai Fengyu and the well that made the strange noise. He certainly couldn't just ignore what was going on, but Ning Weidong was too lazy to do it himself. Arriving at the office, he immediately called Zhang Dajun: "Hello, Lao Zhang, this is Ning Weidong~" Zhang Dajun had just arrived at the unit and thought something important was going on. When Ning Weidong finished speaking, he had a strange look on his face and held the phone, not knowing what to say. Ning Weidong could guess what he was thinking, and laughed, "Lao Zhang, I also think this is unlikely, but since the public has reported it, we can't just ignore it." Ning Weidong did not mention Bai Fengyu on the phone, but directly said what Aunt Lu reported, saying that there was movement in the well in the neighborhood committee yard.
Ning Weidong continued, "In any case, find two comrades to go over and take a look. The neighborhood committee is full of older women and old comrades, so don't make any more noise." Zhang Dajun thought so too and believed that it was best to prepare for such things in advance. Besides, if anything really happens in his jurisdiction, he will be responsible. He hung up the phone and called out "Qian Qiang, Sun Mu". In the large office, two people immediately stood up and came over. After Zhang Dajun explained the situation, Qian Qiang and Sun Mu were also confused. What era is this? Are there still weird things happening? But since the leader had given the order, these two didn't say anything tactless. They just went over to take a look and give the aunties and grandmas at the neighborhood committee some reassurance. However, what they didn't expect was that they actually caught a big fish this time! At the same time, Ning Weidong put the matter aside for the time being after making the call, waiting for Zhang Dajun's reply. However, unexpectedly, when it was almost noon, there was no movement from Zhang Dajun's side, but Wu Bingzhong came in a panic. - Met Calvin. (End of this chapter)
