Her hand was rough, and her sandpaper-like palm was tightly gripping my wrist: "Stay, you stay, no one will come again this year"

I was so frightened that I sat on the ground, my wrist was still pulled by her hand, and I shook my head desperately, scared the six gods: "Don't, I don't want to die, I don't want to die"

"Danyang, go quickly"

Uncle Li, who was hanged before, was anxious, pushing the bicycle and shouting at me anxiously, I want to go, but I can't stand up at all because of the lack of strength in my legs, plus such a toss, those who picked up money through my burning paper pile at the beginning all looked at me one by one, yes, they all looked at me with the same eyes, some of them were puzzled, some were indifferent, and some were actually happy, gradually, they didn't pick up the things I sent, but all of them came to me one by one, I looked at their tattered clothes, their pale faces, and I don't know where the courage came from, I opened my mouth and shouted loudly: "Why do you want to scare me, I have already sent you money, why don't you let me go, why don't you let my grandma go"

Behind the scenes, the old lady's hand holding me actually loosened, and she leaned back, looking at me with some horror.

She was afraid

I looked at her and suddenly thought that grandma was very fierce every time she looked at others, because anger can be angry, and a person is angry enough to be dirty, and he doesn't dare to approach, thinking, I want to stand up with my teeth, and take out grandma's small box containing cinnabar from my schoolbag: "If you dare to bully people like this again, I won't let you go, our family is enshrined in the Hu family, grandma, I want you to even be a ghost."

These are all grandma's original words, I always thought that I wouldn't say this, or I felt a little embarrassed, but really at that point you know, you have to say, and the momentum must be enough, otherwise a careless life will be gone, so this kind of life and death is naturally not sloppy at all

The footsteps of those people also stopped one by one, they looked at me, looked at me quietly, and didn't say anything, just stood there looking at me, my big neck tendons were raised high because of excessive force, although they were no longer close, but I knew that I couldn't be sloppy for a minute, standing there hard, learning to grandma: "Don't let me go yet" shouted, grabbed the cinnabar in the box and sprinkled it directly at them: "Get out of me"

Those things are gone, I snorted and gasped, feeling that a large amount of sweat had unconsciously gushed out on my forehead, and when I turned my eyes, Uncle Li hadn't left yet, he was still looking at me a little anxiously: "Danyang, hurry up, let's go."

I opened my mouth: "I"

Before I finished speaking, my eyes widened directly, and a big branch actually stretched out directly in front of my eyes in front of Uncle Li, and then tied it to Uncle Li's body with two thuds, and then quickly rebounded, I swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and the big branch dragged Uncle Li back into the thick trunk in front of me

I took a step back slightly, and suddenly realized that I had thought about things simply, although I had been watching my grandmother send away these dirty things since I was a child, but this tree grows in place, how to send it away, if it weren't for it, these people I saw might not have died, it was it that made people become dirty things, and even grandma couldn't do anything about it, how could I send it away by burning some paper

What to do, what to do

The wind blew at night and made the tip of my nose a little cold, and I stood there, and my brain suddenly went blank, if I just left, would my grandmother die, and if I didn't go, then I would die

Thinking of this, I cried again without a trace, at that time I especially hoped that there would be a person like my grandmother, even if I let me kneel down and beg him how to solve this matter, I don't want to die, but I can't let my grandmother die, twelve-year-old me, just trembling shoulders and standing in the night, that big tree is really big, big can swallow more than ten of me alive, at that moment my helplessness really can't be described, I hate it but I hate myself even more like I can only wait for death.

The big tree shook its branches gently in front of me, as if it was full of crazy pride, I gritted my teeth and looked at it with tears in my eyes: "You will be evil and evil, we have not offended you, why do you let us die"

"Danyang, let's go"

Uncle Li's voice came out again, and I stared wide-eyed, watching Uncle Li's head slowly come out of the thick tree trunk, and watching me shout full of pain: "Go quickly, go quickly, it's too late if you don't leave."

Immediately afterward, one after another, human heads came out of the trunk of the tree, and they all looked at me with hideous expressions: "Help me, save us." ”

"Help us"

I was stunned, this face was like a smooth tree trunk suddenly growing countless huge tumors, indescribably disgusting, I took a step back slightly, looking at the faces, I really don't understand what they mean by saving them, aren't they already dead, then how can I save them, even the old lady just now, her head came out of the trunk, looking at me full of pain and humming, "Oh, I'm uncomfortable, I'm uncomfortable, you come and help me"

"Danyang, let's go"

"Help us"

"It's uncomfortable"

"Ahh

I collapsed, in this chaotic voice, I covered my ears tightly, watching the branches of the big tree stretch out to me again, my heart is crossed, even if I die, I can't let my grandma die, but the body is just about to meet the branches, but a figure suddenly flashed from the side, and then, someone blocked in front of me: "Dan, you go quickly"

The branch then wrapped around his neck, and I raised my eyes to look at the person who came, and I couldn't help but shout, "Grandpa"

Grandpa was dragged back again and again by the branches, and his hand was still waving at me: "Hurry up and go home, go home"

Only then did I know that the footsteps behind me were not fake, it was my grandfather who was worried about me, so I kept following behind, but now where could I go home, shouting grandpa, I followed a few steps and grabbed his hand: "Let's go home together"

Grandpa's mouth opened, he should have been strangled by the branches, and looked at me: "Go home, go home and go back to be nice to your grandma"

"Grandpa"

I desperately tugged at the branch that was bigger than my arm, and my mouth was full of tears and saltiness: "You can't take my grandfather away, you can't take my grandfather away, let go of my grandfather."

But the louder I shouted, the tighter the trunk became, and my grandfather's face soon turned red and speechless, and his hands tried in vain to push me away, his eyes were full of red bloodshots, and his mouth was making a mouth shape of walking, walking, walking.

I grinned and cried, kneeling down with my legs bent, looking up at the night sky like a black hole, opening my mouth and shouting loudly: "God, do you see this tree is killing people, you help me, you help me, you help me."

No one responded to me, I shouted so loudly that no one responded to me, at that moment I was really going crazy, turned my head to look at my grandfather who was gradually no longer struggling, I got up and wiped a handful of tears viciously, and then retreated a few times, stretched out my head to the tree: "I'll fight with you"

After shouting, I hit the tree, I don't know what happened to me, I'm really anxious, I can't watch my grandfather die, but I don't know what I can do, at the moment when my head hit the tree, I heard a sudden click sound in my ears, the sky and the earth were bright, my head was stuffy, hot liquid flowed down my forehead, I didn't react at the time that it was lightning, I only felt that my eyes were dizzy by the white light, my legs were weak, and I slid directly to the ground against the tree

I thought, I'm going to die.
