I promised Xiaobai that I would cut down this old locust tree, but now the matter of cutting down the tree has been blocked by many parties, which is trickier than I expected, so I decided to postpone it for a day and wait for the evening to ask Xiaobai's opinion.

At night, Xiaobai really appeared outside the window again, I wanted to get up to look for her, but I found that I couldn't move, and Xiaobai stood in the moonlight and looked at me in a daze, as if smiling.

I tried my best to struggle, only to realize that not only could I not move, but I could not even speak, and this state lasted for a long time, until dawn the next day.

I was so shocked that I was in a cold sweat, and my whole body collapsed, and I knew that Xiaobai was angry.

Although Xiaobai keeps calling me Xianggong, I don't know her identity and origin, she can easily kill others, and naturally she can easily kill me, so I decided that I have to cut down the old locust tree today no matter what.

My mother, who had just had surgery and couldn't get out of bed and walk around, saw me coming out of the house sweating profusely and asked, "Why did you sweat so much in the morning?" ”

"It's too hot in the house, and it's covered with a quilt." I was cooking over a fire as I spoke. "Mom, why do you wake up so early?"

"It's not early." The mother stopped talking. "Your second uncle has just been here."

"Second uncle? What is he doing at our house if he has nothing to do? I asked.

"He told me that you were going to cut down the old locust tree at the head of the village, and I asked me to persuade you not to cut it, for fear that something would happen to you." Mother said.

"He can still have this kindness." I said as I added firewood. "Cutting down trees must be cut, it's useless for anyone to persuade me today, you should rest assured that the fish fry I set will come in a few days, and I hope you will take a hand, we want to eat fish in the future, and it will be full of fish in a net."

My mother was silent for a long time when she heard me say this, and said, "Have you borrowed a loan shark or caused some trouble and need money, my mother has saved some money for you over the years, just put it under the rice jar and you can get it, this money was originally for you to marry your daughter-in-law, and now that you have grown up, you have a place to use money." ”

"Mom, don't worry, I'm not short of money, and cutting down trees has nothing to do with money." I said.

"Then are you confused to cut down the tree at this juncture, although you are not superstitious when you go to school in the city, but there must be something wrong with the old locust tree, if something happens to you, how can I explain to him when I see your father below?" Mother wiped away tears as she spoke.

I said, "You also said that when I grew up, there are some things that I have to face, and I have my own way of doing things, and as for why I do this, there are naturally reasons why I have to do it." ”

Although my mother has never read any books in her life, she is a reasonable person, and she will not be like ordinary rural women. I used to understand her hard work, so I was obedient to her, she was soft-hearted, she used to rely on her father, and she has always been obedient to her father. As the so-called woman is weak, and her mother is strong, after her father's death, she had to set an example for me. But my attitude has become more and more tough in the past few days, especially when I went home last night and saw her persuade me, I told her about Zhang Meng's harm to her and the medical expenses, I think her mind will change to a certain extent.

After eating with my mother, I rode my bicycle to the town to look for the logging team, and when I came back in their truck, the people in the village did not expect that I called the logging team directly without saying hello, especially a few elderly people, who were going to stop in front of the big tree and not cut it for me.

My second uncle even pulled me aside and said, "Yangyang, how did you become such a well-behaved child before, why did you become like this now, this tree said you can't cut it, why do you have to cut it?" ”

I looked at my second uncle expressionlessly and said, "Zhang Ercheng, if you still think it's my second uncle, you should go and kowtow to my mother respectfully now, don't you understand the truth that the eldest sister-in-law is like a mother, my mother saw how many years you raised you at that time, how did you treat my mother, huh?" ”

The second uncle slapped himself in the face and said: "It's me who is wrong, I didn't know what to do at the time, I'm sorry for my sister-in-law and you, I know it's wrong, I will make up for you two in the future, we will still be a family in the future, but don't cut down this tree, okay?" ”

"Huh." I glanced at my second uncle contemptuously and said. "You still want to split the money for a trip."

"I'm not really here for the money." The second uncle said anxiously. "As long as you don't cut down trees, you can do whatever you want me to do, if you are short of money, I will give it to you, I won some money a few days ago, here are two thousand, I will give it to you, don't cut down trees."

The second uncle's behavior makes me have to wonder, he is more than ten years older than me, playing with him until he is older, he is a person who is addicted to gambling, and he regards money more than his own father, and he will be willing to give me so much money, I don't believe that he persuaded me so much for my safety, what is the hidden secret in this.

I can't figure it out for the time being, and I don't want to think about it, because the logging team has already been invited, and it is imperative to cut down trees today.

When the second uncle saw that I didn't agree, he stopped in front of me, and after I pushed him away, he hugged me from behind and said, "I won't let you cut down this tree today!" ”

I struggled violently and broke the second uncle's fingers in my hands, he immediately shouted in pain, and I said, "If you dare to stop me again, I will cut you down today!" ”

After saying that, I walked to the back of the logging team's truck, took out an axe, and said to the people who stopped me: "Everyone says that this old locust tree can't be cut, and if it is cut down, it will bleed and die, I have never seen such a strange thing when I am so old, if there is such a tree in the world, our village would have been rich a long time ago, and we still have to live in this ghost place where birds don't?" Today I will chop a few axes in front of everyone, if it really bleeds, forget it today, if there is no bloodshed, don't stop me with a god. ”

I stepped forward with an axe, and the people who were blocking me made a way, and I had all my strength to cut down on the trunk of the big tree, and with three or five axes went down, the bark of the old locust tree broke, revealing the woody layer inside, and I picked up a piece of fresh sawdust and said loudly to everyone: "Look at it, this is normal wood, and the broken trunk does not bleed, it is not as evil as you say, get out of the way, don't stoned people to death and rely on my head at that time." ”

I ignored the villagers and waved to the logging team outside the crowd.

When I went to look for him, he heard that the tree to be cut down was the old locust tree in Zhangjiagou, so he added fuel and vinegar to tell the legend that there was no legend, and expressed his embarrassment.

The trunk of this old locust tree is very straight, and it takes three adults to hug it, and it is conservatively estimated that it will be more than 10,000 yuan, and finally I reached an agreement at a price of 4,000 yuan when I knew that I was hacked by him.

It takes more than 200 years for the old locust tree to grow, but it only takes ten minutes to cut it down, and after several lumberjacks put on the ropes, two of the lumberjacks opened the chainsaws and divided them on both sides, and in a buzzing sound, the old locust tree was quickly sawed off in half.

But at this moment, a foul smell suddenly came.

"Wori, why is it so stinky, who farted?" A lumberjack said, covering his mouth and nose.

"I seem to smell it too, who fucks me in the morning, does it smell so bad in the morning?!" Another worker blushed and yelled.

And at this moment, the second uncle, who had been frowning beside him, suddenly pointed to the bottom of the old locust tree and said, "Look, it's bleeding!" ”

The villagers looked at each other, and an uproar ensued.

"I'll just say, I saw the old locust tree bleeding with my own eyes, Zhang Yang, this kid doesn't believe it!"

"Half of the trees have been cut down before I see blood, and the core of the tree is afraid that it will be sawn off, and Zhang Yang is finished."

Jin Sanpang's face changed slightly, and his eyes looked at me in a slightly surprised way, I covered my mouth and nose and approached the old locust tree, only to see a puddle of black and red liquid flowing out of the place where the chainsaw and the bark were connected, like blood, but it was definitely not blood.

At the same time, I faintly heard what seemed to be a strange cry coming from the old locust tree, like some kind of creature wailing.

"Is there really something in the tree?" I was surprised in my heart, but I didn't show it on my face, but looked at Jin Sanpang and said, "It's not blood, go on!" ”

"Go on!" Jin Sanpang shouted and told the lumberjack to continue his work.

The lumberjack continued to walk the line with the chainsaw in his hand, and as the sawdust flew, the black-red liquid flowed more and more, and the stench was even pungent.

"Almost, stop!" Jin Sanpang asked the sawing workers to stop, and then shouted to a few workers pulling hemp ropes in the distance: "Prepare to pull." ”

As the trumpet sounded, the old locust tree clinging to the bark slowly collapsed, and a loud bang came out, and at the same time, an unprecedented stench came to the face.

"There's something in that tree!" A villager shouted at the old locust tree.

Everyone looked at the stump of the old locust tree, only to see that there was something like a human head wriggling in a mottled black and red liquid inside the stump, which was more than twice the size of a normal human head, and at the same time, it also let out a sharp scream, which sounded particularly terrifying.

Just when everyone was stunned, the human head suddenly crawled out of the stump.
