Chapter Thirty-Eight: The Man-Eating Tree

In full view of everyone, the eight young men made a full effort and lifted the coffin high above their heads.

Seeing this, the villagers who had already prepared on the side hurriedly covered one end of the coffin with a thick hemp rope.

Then, with all their strength, everyone pulled up the end of the coffin, tilted it 45 degrees, and stuffed it straight into the big locust tree.

This...... How is this done?

Hu Yao and I glanced at each other, and we didn't care about the rules anymore, so we hurriedly ran over.

By the moonlight, I saw that behind the big locust tree, in the center of the trunk, less than 3 meters above the ground, there was a big hole in the black hole.

It is about 2 meters tall and 1.5 meters wide.

No wonder I didn't find this tree hole last time, the dare is on the other side.

Seriously, if I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I guess someone would have told me that a locust tree could dig such a big hole in its trunk.

I'd think this guy was crazy, or he was too drunk and farting.

At this time, the villagers were still shouting and trying their best to stuff the coffin into the hole, and they didn't notice me and Hu Yao at all.

After tossing for a long time, a group of people hung and pushed for a long time, and finally stuffed Uncle Liu's coffin into the hole in the tree.

Then, as the hemp rope is untied.

Uncle Liu's big coffin fell straight into it like a kite with a broken string.

Wait!

Straight into it?

Although, I have always wondered why the villagers stuffed Uncle Liu's coffin into this tree hole.

But how could such a large coffin fall directly into the tree hole after breaking the rope?

Even if the locust tree is too huge, the height of the tree hole from the ground is only 3 meters.

At such a height, how could it be possible to swallow such a large coffin in the blink of an eye?

Could it be ......

Thinking of this, I suddenly felt a light in my eyes:

If I had to explain the situation just now, there seems to be only one explanation, and that is that this locust tree is hollow and bottomless!

Only in this way is it possible to have the scene just now.

However, if this big locust tree is really bottomless.

So, how deep is this big locust tree?

You must know that the ancestors of Daliushu Village have been buried in this way for generations.

After so many years, how many coffins have to be accommodated under this locust tree?

One bite after another, this height adds up, can it go around the earth?

I subconsciously glanced at Hu Yao, his expression was similar to mine, and he also looked confused.

It is estimated that the scene just now also refreshed his world view.

"That'...... That, Xiao Yezi......"

Withdrawing his gaze with difficulty, Hu Yao looked at me with a complicated expression with an indescribably strange expression.

"What's wrong?"

I replied casually, saying in my heart that Hu Yao could it be that he was shocked by the scene just now?

"Remember that note?"

Hu Yao silently took out a cigarette and threw one to me.

"Notes? What note? ”

Lighting a cigarette, I didn't smoke it, but asked rhetorically.

"It's the note you found in the dormitory on the day Chen Bald died."

When Chen Bald died, the note found in the dormitory?

Brush!

Originally, I didn't understand what Hu Yao meant, but after he reminded me like this, my face turned white in an instant.

At that moment, my back was almost completely soaked with cold sweat, my scalp was also numb, and a stream of cool air slowly rose from the soles of my feet uncontrollably.

Note!

That's right, it's that note!

I vividly remember what the note read:

When the dog eats the moon, the mountain god is angry, the dragon king rests, and the strange tree eats people, it is the time for you to die!

Just now, Uncle Liu's coffin was stuffed into the hollow of the locust tree.

So, can it be understood that it was this locust tree that "ate" Uncle Liu?

In this way, does it mean that the sign of strange trees eating people has been fulfilled?

In other words, am I one step closer to death?

My heart was beating so hard that countless beads of sweat were spilling out of my pores.

In just a few days, one of the four signs of death has been fulfilled, and if this development continues, will those three be far away?

In other words, how long can I live with this little life?

Just as I was staring at the hole in the locust tree, the villagers were also discussing going down the mountain one after another.

From beginning to end, they didn't answer me and Hu Yao, as if we were transparent people in front of them.

"Don't be in a daze, let's go, go over and have a look!"

Seeing the villagers scattering in all directions, Hu Yao swallowed his saliva, grabbed my arm and walked in the direction of the tree hole in front of me.

I didn't refute and let Hu Yao drag me away.

His steps were stiff and his eyes glazed over, like a walking corpse.

I think I'm quite ridiculous, I don't go back in the middle of the night, I have to come to Liu Guozhong to settle accounts.

Now it's a good thing, people didn't see it, but they hit the sign of a strange tree eating people.

I don't blame anyone else, everything is self-inflicted.

If I hadn't come to Big Willow Village just now;

If I hadn't come to settle accounts with Liu Guozhong;

If I hadn't followed the funeral procession up the mountain.

Perhaps, I will never see this scene in my life.

It's a pity that there are no ifs in life, no assumptions in fate, and no regret medicine in the world.

"Look at your little bit of breath, don't you just bump into one?"

"Didn't the note say clearly, when all four signs are fulfilled, your boy will die."

"So, you still have a lot of time to save yourself, are you afraid of a yarn?"

Seeing my face like ashes, Hu Yao was angry and pushed me violently.

"Okay, how do you get up? Climb directly? ”

I shook my head and didn't go on to explain anything more about it.

I know that Hu Yao's words undoubtedly relieved me.

As the saying goes, there are two if there is one, and since it has already begun, it is estimated that my life will not be easy in the future.

But Hu Yao has a good saying, I still have time.

As long as I unravel all the mysteries before all these four signs are fulfilled.

Find out who is behind the scenes, or a ghost, and I can live.

"Nonsense, if you don't climb, can't you fly up?"

Hu Yao glanced at me angrily, raised his little short legs and was about to climb up the tree.

But his legs were too short, and his body was too fat, so he tossed for a long time, but he didn't climb up.

"That...... Why don't you go up on your own......"

After trying several times in succession, Hu Yao was tired and said to me with a red face.

I wasn't in the mood to taunt him now, so I jerked my legs so hard that my arms grabbed a branch and climbed up the trunk.

In a few clicks, I had climbed to the hole in the tree.

"Hey, it's better to be fucking slim."

Seeing me climb up so easily, Hu Yao couldn't help but exclaim:

"Hurry up and see what's in the hollow? Can you see the bottom? ”

I didn't think much of it, just nodded.

Then, with one hand firmly grasping the branch, the other hand jammed the hole, and I leaned over and poked my head in......
