Lao Zhang and the others arrived in front of the willow tree and found that the willow tree was really too tall, with a height of more than 10 meters.

The willow branches that drooped down, soft and slender, with fine fluff, were fluttering slightly in the direction of the breeze.

Everyone walked to the open space under the willow tree, put down Liu Yiming, and sat down on the ground one after another.

"Now it seems that what those two boys said is true, and they didn't lie to us."

"Yes, although I haven't encountered the badgers and snakes they said, the outside world is not so safe now."

"I knew I would have gone with them, although it cost 2,000 yuan, but it was better than losing my life"

Lao Zhang's face was a little unsightly at this time, it wasn't that I forced you to go with me at that time, and I didn't feel sorry for the 2,000 yuan, but now I started to complain about me, and I couldn't help but say angrily, "Don't say it, is it useful to say this now?" ”

"Why is it useless, if you didn't have to go back to the village alone, everyone wouldn't have paid the 2,000 yuan" The person who complained was also anxious and shouted loudly.

"Okay, okay, don't say it, don't say a few words, let's think about how to go next"

The people on the side saw that the two were about to fight, and hurriedly persuaded them to fight, is this the time to discuss these? When I returned to the village, no one cared about the human head being beaten into a dog's head.

"What's that?"

At this moment, someone suddenly let out a panicked scream, and everyone was startled, and they followed his gaze and found out.

Just now, everyone was just worried about persuading, and I don't know when, Liu Yiming's bare legs lying on the ground were tightly wrapped around a few thumb-thick roots that came out of nowhere.

The strength of the entanglement was so great that it had been tightly strangled into Liu Yiming's flesh and blood.

Just when everyone didn't know what to do, whether to save people quickly or flee from here.

'Whoa, whoa'

The sound of breaking the air kept coming, Lao Zhang only felt the wind behind his ears, subconsciously threw himself to the ground, and rolled around continuously, only then did he escape a catastrophe.

Looking back, what attacked him was those seemingly soft and slender willow branches that had just opened, and when you looked closely, they were extremely hideous, not only the willow leaves were as sharp as sharp blades, but even the willow buds were like tiny barbs.

Lao Zhang was rejoicing in dodging the attack, when he heard a few terrible screams, accompanied by a strange sound of 'hiss, hiss', and then saw that the few people who went home with him except for Liu Yiming and him who were unconscious, the remaining five people were wrapped around willow branches.

The person who was wrapped around his body let out a terrible scream, and the hiss, hissing sound was the sound of two people being wrapped around their necks, the sharp willow leaves cutting their trachea, and the two of them gasping for breath.

As the wicker contracted, the entwined people were dragged directly in the direction of the tree.

""

From the instinct of social animals to rescue their companions, Lao Zhang didn't have time to think at all, and reached out and dragged one person next to him.

But what Lao Zhang didn't expect was that the slender wicker power was so huge, and it seemed effortless to drag the two of them.

Lao Zhang had to let go, and helplessly watched as a few people were dragged under the tree by the wicker, and then a few thicker willow branches stretched down and tied a few people firmly and hung them in the air.

The barb-like wicker pierced into the bodies of several people, absorbing the blood of several people.

Lao Zhang, who was lying on the ground, looked at the willow tree with angry, fearful, and helpless eyes, and what made Lao Zhang feel frightened was that his eyes could pass through the countless willow branches, and he saw a human face on the branches of the willow tree.

Maybe it wasn't a human face, just a strange image composed of a few tree nodules, but this pattern brought Lao Zhang an unprecedented sense of fear.

Under the domination of fear, Lao Zhang let out a loud 'ah, ah' scream, and ran out with a roll.

He couldn't take care of the people who were swept away by the willow branches, and he couldn't take care of Liu Yiming, who was still in a coma and was entangled by the roots, he just wanted to stay away from this weird willow tree now.

I don't know how long he ran, and I don't know if he is running in the right direction, Lao Zhang just wants to run forward.

"Plop"

Lao Zhang tripped over a tree root, this time he fell badly, his forehead was broken, and when he sat up with his forehead covered, he found that a pair of sneakers appeared in his eyes.

Lao Zhang shook his head, which was a little dizzy from the fall, he was out of the state of being dominated by fear, and reason returned to his body again.

"Uncle, where did you come here, did you see my father?"

Listening to the inquiry voice in his ears, Lao Zhang couldn't help but look up, it was an 18 or 9-year-old boy, with some long broken hair, with a sunny smile on his face, but those eyes were a little cold, although there was a smile on his face, but those eyes revealed only indifference.

"Who's your dad?"

"I'm from Dachuan Village, my father's name is Zhang Shubao, he works in the iron mine in front, he didn't come back yesterday, I came to look for him, uncle, are you also working in that iron mine?"

Lao Zhang couldn't help but be stunned when he heard his name, Zhang Shubao was the one who clashed with him, but he had already died in the hands of Liu Shu.

Lao Zhang didn't know whether to tell the child the truth, thought about it, or said

"Son, your dad came back with me, and while passing over there, your dad was killed by a willow tree."

Seeing the young man's smile fade away, revealing a sad expression, Lao Zhang hurriedly comforted

"Don't be sad, child, although your father left first, but your mother still needs you to take care of it, be strong"

"My mother? My mom ran away with someone else more than ten years ago. ”

"Amount"

Lao Zhang was choked for a moment, but continued to persuade

"Then there are still you, you can't have anything, your Zhang family is still waiting for you to pass on the ancestry."

"Yes, Succession"

Lao Zhang looked at the young man's emotions and did not collapse, but when he heard the news, he showed grief, but after a while, he returned to normal, and he couldn't help but have some doubts, and he didn't say anything? Are you so good at comforting others?

"Uncle, can you tell me how my dad died?"

"Well, you should know the details,

We were in a coma during the earthquake yesterday, and we woke up at noon today, and when we woke up, we saw two young men。。。。。。 ”

Lao Zhang told them about their experience in this paragraph, did not reveal anything, and did not maliciously smear Xiao Yu and the others, after all, he had already regretted going home alone.

After speaking, Lao Zhang heard the young man's muttering

"Xiao Yu, Li Yushu, Dryad?"

"Thank you, uncle, thank you for telling me this before you died."

"What a dying, 'uh'..."

Lao Zhang looked down at the tip of the knife exposed on his chest, feeling that the strength of his whole body was gradually being drained, and he heard the whispered words of the young man in his ears

"Although my dad often beat me after my mom left, but after all, it was my dad, although the willow demon should be damned, but if it wasn't for your self-indulgence, how could my dad die miserably, by the way, there are also Xiao Yu and Li Yushu, don't worry, I will send them to see you."
