Chapter 4437: Cellar

Seeing the money thrown by Lin Yi, Jones's men were all very excited.

No one expected that this man would be so generous and willing to treat him to a meal.

"Just buy one box of cigarettes. If you don't want to starve to death, use the rest of the money to buy food." Jones said loudly.

Lin Yi glanced at him and found that this man was quite serious and knew that food was more important than cigarettes.

After all, he could only help them this once. Whether they could meet someone like him in the future was also an unknown, so he naturally had to save a little.

"Got it, boss, let's go shopping now."

Jones' men ran away, and the two stood outside and continued to smoke. Lin Yi said slowly:

"How many years have you lived here?"

"I was born in this place, and I have lived here all my life, and I have never left."

"Then are there any special places in your town?"

"What do you mean by special places? We have a place where you can watch TV, and the price is not expensive. Do you want to take a look?"

Obviously, Jones could not understand Lin Yi's idea.

Lin Yi shook his head, "That's not what I'm talking about. You have a Kandal ruins here. You should know this place."

"I know. I used to be a guide for others."

"So I want to ask, is there a similar place in your town?"

"No, otherwise our town would become a tourist attraction."

"Don't be so sure. You have to think about it. Even if there is a little bit of similarity, it will be fine."

After Lin Yi finished speaking, Jones thought about it carefully and said:

"We have a deep well here. When we encounter difficulties, we will make a wish to the gods who have experienced it. He will bless us with peace. Do you want to go and see it?"

Lin Yi thought about it. Although the probability is not high, he has come here. Naturally, he has to go and see it. If he finds something, he will make a profit.

"Let's go, take me to see it."

Jones took Lin Yi away. The distance was not far, just on the edge of the town.

Lin Yi took a look and saw that it was just an ordinary stone well. There was nothing special about it.

But around, a shed was built with many things hanging on it, which seemed to be used for praying.

The two walked over, and Lin Yi looked down into the well.

The well was quite deep, at least more than 20 meters, but it was just a dry well.

"Is this the sacred well you mentioned?"

Jones nodded devoutly, "Anyone who encounters difficulties will come here to pray."

"Do you think it is useful to pray in such a place?"

"No matter whether it is useful or not, as long as they pray, they will believe that the difficulties will pass."

Lin Yi was speechless for a moment, but he was not speechless, but felt that Jones's words were full of philosophical meaning.

In the face of despair, if there is no spiritual belief to support the body, then people will collapse.

Then this well, at some times, is their spiritual belief.

"Is there no other similar place in the town except this well?"

Jones shook his head, "Really not."

"Okay, let's go back."

Despite Jones' affirmative answer, Lin Yi still planned to go there in person, walk around the town, and make sure there is nothing before leaving.

When the two returned, Jones's younger brother had already returned from shopping.

Seeing so many things in large and small bags, even Lin Yi was a little surprised.

He didn't give them much money, but they bought so many things. The local prices are really cheap.

"Leave some for today's consumption, and store the rest in the cellar." Jones shouted loudly.

And his younger brothers followed suit, and no one objected.

Lin Yi watched from the side and found that Jones was smarter than he thought, and had a longer-term strategic vision.

If he was not born here, if he could receive a better education, perhaps his life would be very different.

And the current situation can only be said to be fate.

"You are quite good. You know to dig a cellar at home to store food. This is our tradition. Did someone from Yan tell you to do this?" Lin Yi asked with a smile.

"No, this cellar has been there for many years. It was there when I was born."

Lin Yi looked at Jones, "How old are you this year?"

"32 years old, what's wrong."

"That means this cellar is at least 32 years old."

Jones shook his head, "More than 32 years, my dad said that this cellar was there when he was young. Anyway, there was a cellar when we moved here, and I was born in this house. It has been helping us store food for so many years, and we can open it to cool down when the weather is hot."

Hearing what Jones said, Lin Yi's curiosity also came up.

From his description, we can know that he doesn't know how many years this cellar has existed.

Because it was there when we moved here, then judging from the current situation, this cellar may have existed for more than 50 years.

Lin Yi couldn't help but be curious. It is not easy to preserve it so well with such a long time span.

Driven by curiosity, Lin Yi walked in and covered his mouth and nose at the same time.

Jones's men were transporting things into the cellar.

Lin Yi found that the depth of the cellar was about three meters. From the structural point of view, it was a little deep, so there was not much meaning in doing so.

He took the mobile phone, turned on the flashlight, and shone it inside. Jones's men were very discerning. They did not work and gave the place to Lin Yi.

You don't know until you see it. After shining the flashlight around, Lin Yi found that this cellar was larger than he imagined, and he felt something was wrong instantly.

When I was young, I had to go back to the countryside for the New Year. Most families there had cellars, but the area was only four or five square meters, and one was enough.

In addition, if the digging was too large, it would also affect the structure of the house. Once the house collapsed, it would be more than worth the loss.

So the cellars in every household in the countryside are so large, but the one in front of me is different. It is at least more than ten square meters.

The most important thing is that the walls around are not regular.

Normally, the cellar should be square and used to store food.

The cellar in front of him was more like a deep pit that was blown out, and then a layer of wood or other beams were laid on it, and then the house was built.

With a little curiosity, Lin Yi looked around and found that not only the bottom of the cellar was irregular, but also the upper edge was irregular.

Driven by curiosity, Lin Yi decided to go down and take a look.
