Chapter 170: Small Sign
This big locust tree is very large, with lush foliage and a thick trunk, and it takes three or four adult men to hug it to enclose it, so it is not so easy to cut down this tree.
Lao Hei and the others had already used the tools to cut down the big locust tree, but with the joint efforts of so many people, it still took two or three hours to cut down the big tree.
"Boom~"
The big tree finally fell, and the weird bones hanging on the tree have also fallen, although Uncle Zhao is old, but he also helped cut down the tree just now, and he was tired and was standing aside to drink water, he said: "Oops~ It's finally cut down, but why did those people let us help them cut down the tree? And who are the bones above? Are they from those villagers?"
Lao Hei and Lao Wu didn't really understand why, but those ghost villagers didn't say anything, so everyone didn't ask much, they just agreed to help cut down the tree and came directly to the big tree.
Yue Jiu Nian, Yue Jiu Calamity, and Jiang Yan were also 'forced' to help cut down the tree just now, and now when they saw that the big tree had finally fallen, they also squatted aside to rest.
Yue Jiunian was pouring a bottle of water in her hand, and she looked at the root of the big tree curiously while pouring it.
Because the big tree was cut down from the middle of the trunk, the root was still intact, but when Yue Jiunian looked over, he found that there seemed to be a small hole in the root of the big tree.
The small tree hole is very small, the size of a basketball, it looks like a black hole, and there are some small branches growing next to it, if it weren't for Yue Jiunian being careful, he wouldn't have found it.
After Yue Jiu Nian saw the tree hole, he said to Yue Jiu Disaster: "Hey, do you see that tree, do you see it? There seems to be a tree hole there, do you want to go and see it?"
Yuejiu Disaster was nibbling on crispy noodles, and they bought a lot of snacks to bring up the mountain, and crispy noodles were also one of the snacks.
Yue Jiu Nian heard what Yue Jiu Nian was talking about in the tree hole, so he took a bite of the crisp noodles in his mouth, and then began to pretend to walk casually, to go to the big tree, and Yue Jiu Nian also walked with her.
"Is this it? so small? Isn't it some small animal living in it? ”
When Yue Jiu found the tree hole, she squatted down directly to look at the tree hole, she felt that the tree hole was too small, so she wondered if this was the residence of the small animals in the mountains.
When Yue Jiunian heard this, he shook his head and said, "I don't know, but if it's an edible animal, I don't mind catching it and roasting it." ”
Just as they were discussing what was in the tree hole, Uncle Zhao, who was resting on the side, noticed them, and Uncle Zhao walked over from the side and said, "What are you looking at?"
"Well, nothing, I just saw a tree hole here. ”
Yue Jiu Disaster originally wanted to probe to see the small tree hole, but when she heard Uncle Zhao's words, she turned around and told the truth, and she also said, "Uncle Zhao, what do you think will be in this tree hole?"
"Hehe~ Guess what it does?
When Uncle Zhao heard the words of the Yue Jiu Calamity, he laughed, and then ordered her: "You, reach in and touch it to see what's inside!"
Although Uncle Zhao looked like he didn't want to care about anything before, people are not a good thing, otherwise why didn't he say anything when Lao Hei said that he would arrest them and use them as pathfinders?
Therefore, when Yue Jiu Tribulation heard Uncle Zhao's order, he didn't show a look of surprise, but just sneered slightly, and then put his hand into the tree hole.
Seeing this action of Yue Jiu Calamity, Yue Jiu Nian didn't show a worried look, because she didn't feel that there was danger in the tree hole, but she was also curious about what would be in the tree hole.
Seeing that there were suddenly a few people around the big tree, as the boss of the team, that is, Lao Hei, of course he would come over to see what the situation was.
"Hey, what are you doing here? Is there something wrong with this tree?"
Lao Hei came over and asked them, and the others followed them when they saw that Lao Hei was going to the root of the tree.
However, when Lao Hei was about to approach the tree hole, he heard the sound of the Nine Plagues of the Moon.
"Wow~ How can there be a small box here?"
I only saw that the Moon Nine Calamity took out a black, dirty, and aged wooden box from the tree hole, and the wooden box looked very old, but although it looked very shabby on the outside, the pattern carvings on it were still perfectly preserved, and the Moon Nine Calamity could even see that the carvings on it were the shapes of several big trees.
"What kind of box is it, show me!"
As soon as Lao Hei heard that there was a box, he immediately squeezed over and wanted to get the box, but no matter how fast he moved, he was still a step slower, because Uncle Zhao had already taken the lead in taking the box from the hands of the Nine Disasters of the Moon.
"Hehe~I don't know what's in such an old box~"
Uncle Zhao held the small box with both hands, and then smiled at the old black man: "Let me open this little box and take a look." ”
The small box is made of wood, and there is a copper lock on the outside of the box, Lao Hei saw that the small box had been held by Uncle Zhao in his hand, so he had to stand there and watch Uncle Zhao pick the lock.
The copper lock was very small, Uncle Zhao held the copper lock in one hand, and felt out a wire on his body with the other, and then skillfully used the wire to gently pry the copper lock, and then with a 'click', the copper lock was opened.
When the copper lock was opened, the Yue Jiu Calamity, who was standing on the side, seemed to sense something, she suddenly turned around and frowned at Yue Jiu Nian, and then took a few steps back.
Yue Jiu Nian saw the appearance of the Yue Jiu Calamity, so he also retreated with him.
Uncle Zhao saw that the lock of the small box was opened, so he carefully opened the lid of the box, but when he opened the lid with hope and saw the contents inside, he showed an incredible look of surprise!
"I'm rubbing, what the hell is this?!"
Uncle Zhao threw away the small box in his arms, and then stood aside and said in surprise: "What is this?!Why is it..."
I only saw that inside the box that was thrown on the ground, a large string of small wooden cards was revealed, and those small wooden cards were all covered with blood-red blood, and they were dripping with blood, as if they had just been drenched in blood and put them in the box!
And everyone who saw this scene at the scene was also frightened, and all of them hid to the side to look at the box.
"I'm going, what are these?"
"Mom, it's disgusting..."
Yue Jiu Nian also frowned when she saw this scene, she originally wanted to say something to Yue Jiu Calamity, but before she could speak, she heard Lao Hei say: "What are these? How can there be so much blood? ”
Although Lao Hei was also surprised by the contents of this box, he was now more curious about the inscriptions on the wooden signs.
He cautiously reached out to pick up the wooden signs on the ground, and then wanted to read the words on them clearly: "Zhang Qingping? This is a person's name, and this one is also surnamed Zhang, called Zhang Haihua... ”
Lao Hei flipped through several brands in a row, and found that those signs were engraved with some people's names, and all of them were surnamed Zhang, which made everyone feel puzzled.
Uncle Zhao stood aside and said, "They are all surnamed Zhang, could it be the things of those villagers? I remember that their village is called Zhangjia Village." And although these brands are very small, the shape looks very similar to the spirit cards. ”
Originally, if Uncle Zhao didn't say it, everyone thought that these wooden signs were very strange, but now that Uncle Zhao said this, he also felt that they were like spirit cards, but they were much smaller than ordinary normal spirit cards.
In fact, there is nothing like the spirit card, and the most puzzling thing is why these 'little spirit cards' are placed in the tree hole and are also filled with blood.
Yue Jiu Cao thought of something when she saw those little spirit cards, but she didn't speak, just looked at those little spirit cards from a distance.
Lao Hei didn't know what those 'little spirit cards' were about, he was about to put the little spirit cards back in the box, Yue Jiunian suddenly spoke, she looked a little scared, and said hesitantly: " That, when I saw these little spirit cards, I remembered a story, which I heard from others before, and the story said that if you want to curse someone, then engrave his name on the wooden plaque of the old locust tree, and then drench it with blood, and then chant a spell, so that you can curse that person casually, I was thinking, this story is so similar to these things, are the people in that ghost village cursed?"
After Yue Jiu Nian finished speaking, he timidly retracted behind Yue Jiu Disaster, and Yue Jiu Disaster also pretended to be very timid, but tried to protect Yue Jiu Nian, and stood in front of her.
Lao Hei and Uncle Zhao showed a half-believing look after listening to this legendary story of Yue Jiu Nian, of course, there were other people who believed this story, and then showed worried looks, they were probably afraid that this curse would not affect them.
Lao Wu saw this, so he stepped forward and asked Yue Jiunian, "Is what you said true? If it is true, then we have opened this cursed box now, will we also be cursed?"
Yue Jiunian shook his head and said, "I don't know this very well, but just in case, I think we should bury those small signs." ”
Although this story doesn't sound very believable, the bloody little sign still makes everyone feel worried, so for peace of mind, Lao Hei still asked people to dig a pit, and then buried them all, and by the way, buried the bones that hung on the tree before
It's just that when I buried the soil on those bloody signs, the blood suddenly disappeared weirdly!
