Chapter Seventy-One: Blood Locust
Maybe what the old man said was the fear that he had been hiding deep in his heart for many years, but now that someone finally heard it, and he also said it, he let out a deep breath of turbid long, like those fears had disappeared, and it was estimated that at his age, those devils and monsters would not care much.

The old man who repaired shoes was immersed for a while, and Lin Tao didn't bother him, but he remembered that until now he hadn't told himself how to go to Lianguang, which is what he called Shouguang Village.
Just as he was about to ask, the old man who repaired the shoes said again: "When I was so frightened that I was almost unpossessed, it seems that my dream at that time was true, my friend was killed soon after his marriage, and even the whole village was killed, and he died so miserably, so strange. ”
"At that time, I hurriedly ran out, ran a mile in one breath, I was really tired and couldn't sit down to rest, but I found that the old locust tree at the entrance of the village behind me was bleeding red blood, and when I found it, my feet and pants were soaked with blood, but the cold feeling made me calm down, the two people in black clothes couldn't slaughter the entire village for no reason, there must be some reason, and my friend's ghost wanted me to help him clear his name, That's why I found me, but how can I have that ability, I'm just an ordinary worker. The old man said angrily, followed by a burst of calm.
However, whenever Lin Tao couldn't help but want to ask, the old man who repaired shoes could always sense what Lin Tao wanted to say, and then said, completely suppressing Lin Tao's words in his mouth, and couldn't spit out half a word.
"I was bold, and I went back to the village, and looked at several nearby houses, and all of them were the same as my friend's death, and my whole body was covered with black holes, as if something had bitten through my body, and it was very terrifying, and I couldn't stand it anymore, so I returned to my friend's house, and still found nothing, and at this time I was cold and hungry, and it was too dark to leave, so I had to stay in his house and rest for the night."
Lin Tao listened, and couldn't help but look up at the sun hanging overhead, big and round, although it was winter, but sitting in the sun like this was still very comfortable, but since the old man who repaired shoes began to keep giving himself this endless past, his body was always floating with a trace of cold air, making him tremble.
"My friend's home, although very small, but he is very diligent, in the short time with me to do a long job in the short time of saving a lot of money, before getting a daughter-in-law, and at that time his home was also preparing for the New Year, on the wall, on the stove, everywhere hanging, set up to eat, I couldn't bear to eat some, but at night, I began to feel that something was wrong with my body, my body was very hot, like soaking in hot water in winter, but the surface of my body was cold like ice, so I woke up from my sleep, When I realized that something was wrong with my body, it occurred to me that the cause of their death might be the same as my own, and that I was going to die at that time. ”
The old man shook his head, his eyes were firm: "I was very unwilling, and at the same time I was a little resentful of my friend, although I came this time, but I had to lose my life, which I didn't expect, but the moment I ran out of the house, my consciousness began to blur, and the road in front of me began to dangle around, I didn't take a few steps and fell to the ground, and then my friend's ghost appeared in front of my eyes, but this time it was complete, He looked at me with a blank gaze, and pointed to the front of the road, I didn't understand what it meant at first, my brain was very chaotic, and it didn't work at all, but slowly I realized that his ghost must be trying to save me. ”
"I gritted my teeth and crawled in the direction he was pointing, even though my body was fine at the time, and only my consciousness was more blurry, it felt like I was dreaming, or I was drunk, and I don't know how long I climbed, he always stood in front of me, pointing ahead, knowing that I suddenly found that my front seemed to be blocked by something, and then stopped, and guess what I saw."
The old man who repaired shoes stopped suddenly, his eyes were originally dull, but at this time, he suddenly became bright, and he smelled Lin Tao seriously, but he was stunned by his sudden question.
He didn't say anything for a long time, he was all frightened by the old man who repaired shoes just now, he saw Lin Tao's pale face, so he laughed, but no one paid attention to the happy laughter of an old man in tattered clothes, and hurriedly walked, going to work, getting off work, or busy with other things.
"I saw the bleeding old locust tree I saw at the entrance of the village, and I was very curious how the ghost of my dead friend could have brought me to such a place, because I had come here when I had run away before, and I was really shocked to see that the tree was bleeding, but now his soul has led me here again, could it be that this tree has some magical effect, I thought at the time, suddenly I felt dry mouth, very thirsty, like I had been soaking in hot water for too long, I plunged into the snowdrift in front of me that was stained with the blood and red of the old locust tree, and instantly felt a spicy, as if drinking chili oil, and the body was spicy everywhere, but I have been enduring it, and I don't know how much sweat I have flowed, and finally I fell asleep groggily, until I woke up the next morning, I found myself lying on a piece of frozen blood, and my whole body was cold, and I realized that the ice below was the snowdrift that the heat on my body melted. ”
"Sobered up for a while, I remembered what happened last night, it must have been my friend's ghost who saved me, I hurried back to my friend's house, bowed to his corpse, and then made a fire, dried the clothes, and buried the two in their home, it was exactly the sixth day, I was thinking that my friend probably wanted to find himself in the ground, and now that the matter is done, I can quickly leave this village where the smell of death is everywhere, but, When I walked out of their house, there was an accident. ”
Lin Tao was also fascinated when he heard it, he didn't expect that this old man who repaired shoes had a talent for storytelling, especially ghost stories, he trembled when he heard it, and it was so true, but even if what he told was true, he would be able to listen to the story, just let him wait and tell himself how to go to Lianguang Road.
