Seeing that Arthur, who was lying to the ground, was already asleep, Werther sighed helplessly again, and wanted to pinch that carefree face:

"You guy...... Really, are all contractors like that?"

Seeing that the sky was about to get dark, Witt thought that the temperature had dropped so much that it was impossible to sleep in the wilderness, and now he was in a large plain meadow, and there was no place to shelter and hide, so he had to reach Toba before the darkness fell. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info just when he took out the flint and wanted to light the torch, his nose suddenly cooled, and when he looked up, he saw that the raindrops were falling, and in just a few seconds, the raindrops became a torrential downpour.

"Oops!" Before he could complain, Witt took off his coat, put it over Arthur, and ran quickly with the man on his back.

I don't know how long I ran, but suddenly, by the thin light, Werther saw a tall cedar tree gradually appear in front of him, and then looked into the distance, which seemed to have the outline of a home.

Rejoicing, Werther quickened his pace, and when he ran under the cedar tree, the whole person seemed to hit the wall and bounced back, Werther fell backwards at once, and Arthur on his back was not spared, and both of them fell to the ground.

"Arthur! no ......" Werther hurriedly got up and climbed to Arthur's side to pick him up, but he didn't expect Arthur to fall into the mud all over his face, and he was still asleep, he couldn't help but be angry and funny, and finally put his mind at ease. He looked up at the place he had hit earlier, and there was nothing there.

Werther stood up, picked Arthur back on his back, slowed down and tentatively walked forward, passing where he had just been, and nothing happened. Witt looked down at the ground, the road was flat, there were no dirt pits or stones, and he was sure that he had indeed hit something like a wall just now, not a hallucination, not a trip.

Just as he was tentatively moving forward, a sudden force pushed him away, and Werther felt like a huge palm slapped him hard, and Arthur on his back fell again.

"Ahhhhh

Hearing Arthur's voice, Witt hurriedly wiped away the muddy water that was covering his eyes, and saw Arthur who fell next to him with his eyes closed, muttering something, and suddenly waving his arms and shouting.

"Don't disturb my sleep!"

In an instant, thunder exploded, and the two combined sounds frightened Werther's body to tremble, and when the aftershocks of the thunder disappeared, the sound of simple rain returned to the surroundings. Werther stopped breathing and crawled to Arthur's side, seeing that the guy was asleep again, with no intention of waking up.

After making sure that Arthur was okay, Werther looked up, and the tall cedar tree could not be seen, and the deeper he looked, the darker the green branches and leaves became, creating an eerie atmosphere that made people shudder.

Whatever the hell was going on, it was not advisable to stay here for long, so Werther made a quick decision, carried Arthur back again, and then walked to the side, skirting the cedar trees, and this time he passed without encountering any obstacles.

Witte took Arthur to Arthur, and changed his steps to running, and as he ran, he looked back and saw that they were getting farther and farther away from the cedar tree.

In order not to make the old couple who opened the door afraid of suspicion, Werther took the initiative to step back after the door opened, first smiling kindly, and then bowing his head deeply after saying the request to take shelter from the rain, and his attitude was polite and sincere. Seeing that the two children were soaked and muddy, the old couple not only readily agreed, but also prepared simple food and a change of clothes, and gave them a place to take a bath and rest, so that the tired two could sleep comfortably.

Witt rarely slept until Arthur woke up at the same time, when the two got up slowly, the old grandmother had already prepared lunch, and their dirty clothes were washed and dried, neatly placed on the table.

Watching the two children eat, the old couple looked at each other, as if they had something to say, and what scruples did they have, and finally the old man knocked on the pipe and hesitated: "Ah young man, I didn't ask yesterday when I saw that you were too tired, are you from the big cedar tree?"

"Yes, we heard about the abundance of medicinal herbs in Dada Village when we were passing through it, and we wanted to come and see it. Werther put down the bread and smiled in response, and Arthur next to him just ate with his head bored because he had been sleeping and didn't know anything.

"Uh...... Is there anything strange going on then?"

"Strange thing?" Witt suddenly remembered the strange incident that happened when he passed by the cedar tree, but he didn't know how to explain it for a while, for fear of causing the two old men to misunderstand, "This ......"

Seeing Werther's hesitant expression, the old man guessed something, and said: "It is said that the cedar tree is haunted, and everyone who approaches it will be pushed away by an inexplicable force, and some people will be injured because of it, and everyone will be very afraid, and over time that road will be broken, you should be the first people to come from that road in decades, right, old woman?"

"That's right, that's right, alas, it was originally a medicine field, because of the haunted things, everyone didn't dare to farm anymore, the fields were deserted, my family was also a medicine farmer, after the fields were abandoned, my son had to leave home, work as a walking merchant to make money, almost once a year. ”

The old man patted the old grandmother on the shoulder and looked back at Werther: "Most of the people in Toba Town make a living by growing herbs, and in the past, the medicinal herbs here were supplied to all parts of the country during the war, so everyone became rich, and even people from nearby villages came to try to grow medicinal herbs, and the town developed rapidly. Later, after the end of the war, the demand for medicinal herbs was small, and although the town was not as prosperous as it was in its heyday, it was still maintained with fixed orders from all over the country, but since someone saw the ghost in the cedar tree, the medicinal fields were gradually deserted, and the access was blocked, and for a time there was not enough amount of medicinal herbs to pay the order, and the town's reputation was gone, and over time merchants rarely came here, and the town declined. ”

Arthur instantly raised his eyes when he heard the word "ghost", but his mouth was still silent as he chewed.

"If you can pass there, boy, maybe, perhaps, maybe the fir ghost is gone, so that everyone can go there and grow herbs again!"

"My son can come back too, I miss him so much," the grandmother wiped the corners ......of her eyes with her sleeve.

"Ah...... Pass passed...... But ...... "Although he wanted to tell the two old men what had happened to him, seeing their expectant eyes, Witt didn't know how to speak, and it was a fact that he did pass again," and it was raining heavily at night, and I didn't fully see it...... But it's true that we came from the cedar tree, that's true. ”

"Great!" said the old man excitedly, "then when you are done eating, why don't you go with me to see the mayor of the town, and tell him about your successful passage through the cedar tree." ”

Witt glanced at Arthur, and the other party nodded slightly, and Witt agreed, but the smile was somewhat awkward.
