"You understand?"
"You mean..."
"The newspaper always tells you that this world is not safe, anything can happen. Right? To make yourself safer, what should you do? Buy insurance." After a moment, Helan Jing spoke again, "The newspaper is full of stars. Photos, right? It tells you that your face should be as perfect as theirs are. But, do you have a perfect face? No. What can you do? Buy cosmetics, go to a beauty salon, and get plastic surgery."
Pipi is stunned: "You mean, the news in the newspapers is a conspiracy?"
"Almost. At least, in a sense, that's right."
"So... you never read the newspaper?"
"Nope."
"You don't care about the changes in the world?"
"I care a lot, but I don't have to read the newspaper."
Pipi chuckled and saw a thick cloud in front of her. She said, "The moon is gone, let's go."
Back at the Lishui Villa, He Lanjing went straight to the bottom of the well to bathe in the moonlight. Pipi sat next to him and looked at the round night sky. After a while, seeing that He Lanjing did not speak, she said: "What if you get wet this time?"
He Lanjing touched the wall of the well and seemed to press a switch. The two boulders in the well suddenly moved, and the wellhead became tightly covered within two seconds.
Pipi said: "So you have this kind of mechanism!"
"Yes."
"It's too dark!"
He Lanjing also pressed the organ again, the boulder moved, and the wellhead opened: "It's that simple."
"Where is the switch? I want to try it." Pipi jumped from the lounge chair and went to touch the wall. Following the direction that He Lanjing indicated, she found a shallow pit with a round knob. She pressed gently and the boulder rolled shut. After another press, the boulder moved away.
Pipi felt very amused and pressed it countless times.
"Have you had enough?"
"No. I will play more!"
Pipi pressed again, this time, the huge stone closed and suddenly no longer opened.
It had broken!
Pipi hurriedly pressed the knob a dozen times, and the two boulder lines did not move.
"Helan, what should I do? The switch is broken! Will you fix it?"
"Certainly not."
"Then we will have to suffocate here?"
"Have you ever seen a movie called "Midnight Ring"?"
"Hey, Helan, don't be quiet, don't scare me!!"
"The well is very good, but a bit dark. For me, this is nothing. If you stay here every day, you will get used to it slowly."
