Chapter 24: The Human-Faced Tree (2)
I'm upset right now, super upset.
The man next to him introduced himself calmly: "My name is Zong, what is the name of the witch?" ”
“…… Rain. ”
"It turned out to be Rain-sama."
(?? _??)||At first I thought he was an honest man, but judging by what had just happened, I thought he was weird. How could he leave me behind, God would rain heavily at the right time, and his father was not a dragon king.
There is only one question I am struggling with now, whether he has taken a fancy to the Jade of the Four Souls or to me.
His house is quite large, and from the outside it looks like a big family. When I entered the door, I caught a glimpse of the rain girl around the corner secretly watching us, no, to be precise, to see Zong.
Why did she come with her, didn't I just let her succeed?
The rain girl knew that I had found her, and disappeared all at once.
"Rain-sama?"
Zong had also looked around the corner, but there was nothing.
"It's okay, let's go."
There was a tree in the middle of the dean, and it was raining so hard that I couldn't see what it looked like, but I knew it was quite tall. He took me to a guest room and said:
"Wait a minute, Lord Rain, I'll make tea."
There was a small coffee table in front of the window, and I sat down just in time to see the view of the courtyard. The fog obscured the whole tree, and I could only dimly see that it was quite lush.
Phantom asked me, "What are you thinking?" ”
"I saw the rain girl just now, will a female ghost like her take the initiative to go with someone?"
"No, it won't."
"That's weird."
Could it be that she already knows Zong? Being entangled by female ghosts is either love or hate.
"Squeak."
Zong has come in with tea and poured me a cup.
"Do you know the female ghost just now?"
"I don't know, why does Lord Yu ask that?"
"Nothing."
I took a sip of tea in disguise.
Zong had already sat opposite me and chatted with me: "Lord Yu said that he was in a hurry, are you going somewhere?" ”
"It's just wandering."
"Yes, I thought that the adults came here and had a wish to fulfill."
Wish? Listen to him, here are the ways to make wishes come true?
"You go into details."
"There's no rush for this, I'll know what's going on tomorrow."
With that, he went out. It's the rhythm that is going to save me for tomorrow.
I said to Phantom, "I think he must have bad intentions." ”
"Then you can leave now, he can't stop you."
"But I'm really curious, and my heart is itching, what is the way he said that he can make his wish come true?"
"Then you'll stay."
“……”
Illusion's attitude towards me has become more and more perfunctory.
Just when I decided to stay, the rain stopped. The mist slowly cleared, and I saw that the tree was three or four stories high, with drops of water on its leaves, and white flowers growing on its branches, all of which were bones.
However, this bud is also too big.
For dinner, Zong had come to the room and withdrew without saying anything. I watched the sumptuous dinner before I realized a problem.
"Phantom, I found out that I hadn't eaten since I woke up, and I wasn't hungry!"
I'm a little worried, if you don't eat, you're still human?
"You have a big heart to find out."
There were a lot of things before, and after I came out, I was constantly chased and killed, mainly because my stomach didn't scream, and I still remember to eat.
"What should I do, should I go and take a look?"
"What's there to see, and besides, doesn't it save you time by not having to eat, you think about it."
Instead, finding ingredients, washing them, and cooking them are quite laborious to eat three meals a day. But if I don't eat it, I always feel like something is missing.
I can't change my human liking.
Zong had come again later and asked me if I wanted to take a bath. His house has a special bathroom, and there is a stove by the window, which is connected to the outside, so that you can add firewood outside. Adding water to the stove is like soaking in a hot spring.
To be honest, I was very excited, hoping to soak the smell off my body, but I was a little uneasy.
Zong has pointed to the window and said, "Don't worry, my lord, I am the only one who lives here, and no one can peep at this height, and you can also watch the moonlight." ”
"Well, I'm sorry for you."
I can't resist the temptation.
……
"Whoa."
I leaned against the edge of the stove and didn't want to move, blinking my eyes and getting sleepy.
“……”
What is it? I was awakened by a sight, and when I opened my eyes and disappeared, I saw only the flowers on the trees outside the window.
I got up and put on my clothes and asked me what was wrong.
"Someone was staring at us just now."
"Is it Zongji?"
"Probably not."
I ran out into the yard and circled around the tree. Although there is no clear evidence, the sight just now did come from it.
"Rustle."
The wind rustles the leaves, and its appearance is like an ordinary one.
Phantom climbed up the tree to check around and then came down, "I didn't find any problems." ”
Are you hiding?
"It rained so hard in the afternoon, but the leaves and flowers didn't fall off at all, which was a big problem."
I wanted to put my hand on it and use my spiritual power to probe it, but suddenly there was a large amount of moisture coming through from the outside.
It's the rain girl again, this guy is really eyeing Zong.
I walked out and saw her standing at the door, with red lips and white face at night, if I didn't know her, I would really be scared to death.
I pride myself on being reasonable, and if there is a real grievance, I will not be partial, so I will ask the reason first.
"Why are you obsessed with Zongji?"
The rain girl didn't answer, glanced at me behind me suspiciously, and then anxiously wanted to go in.
Even though it was night, her strength hadn't increased much, so it wasn't surprising that she was knocked away by me. I pressed my scabbard against her shoulder, which she remembered.
"Give you one last chance, or I'll let you die right now."
She was so frightened that she returned to her normal countenance, and her eyes were full of tears.
"I, I'm here for someone."
Get? "Looking for Zongha?"
The rain girl shook her head, "No, looking for my fiancé." ”
"Then what are you doing in another man's house?"
As soon as I finished asking, a possibility flashed in my mind, no, no, isn't it...... I asked a little awkwardly, "He robbed your fiancé?" ”
The rain girl was stunned, and then quickly denied it, "No, no, no, my fiancé doesn't like men." ”
“…… Oh, what's going on? ”
"I've been in poor health, and he heard that anyone who comes here to pray for peace can succeed, so he went out of his way to help me pray for peace. But after a long time he didn't come back, and I was worried that something would happen to him, so I came out to look for him. The road was slippery when it rained, and I accidentally fell into a cliff and woke up like this......"
It's a sad story, and I can't comfort her, so I can only try to help her find her fiancé.
"Are you sure he's here?"
"Well, he told me before he left."
"Do you know how people come here make their wishes?"
"Yes......"
As soon as the rain girl wanted to speak, petals suddenly floated out of the courtyard, and she looked frightened when she saw them.
"What's wrong with you?"
"It's, they're ...... Yes! ”
The petals fell on her, making her so uncomfortable that she fled with a wave of her hand.
This tree is really tired.
I reached out to grab one of the petals, but they disappeared in the air, as if they had never appeared. I went to look at the trees again, and they were full of buds.
If I was not mistaken, it should be evil spirit.
"Is Lady Rain enjoying the flowers?"
I turned my head and saw that the sect had come out.
"What kind of tree is this?"
With a very loving expression, Zong touched its trunk and said, "The human-faced tree." ”
"All under heaven, just this one."
