Chapter Seventy-Six: The Secret
The man was so anxious that he couldn't find his wife, and prayed everywhere that anyone in the village would help him find his wife, and he would be grateful, but no one knew where his wife had gone.
Although the woman was a bit arrogant, she was still very kind to people, and everyone in the village was willing to talk to her, and suddenly such a thing happened, and no one expected it.
The people in the village suddenly fell into a panic, but now the village that had been peaceful all the year round suddenly lost a person, and there was no place to find everyone, and everyone was talking about it, and the man was already dying, kneeling on the ground and began to suffer, and constantly regretted.
At this time, a person suddenly appeared in the crowd of onlookers and said:
"Why don't you try to find the strange tree at the east end of the village, maybe your wife will be there!"
This man is a well-known second-rate son of the village, and he has nothing to do all day, and when he first starts talking, everyone only treats him as a joke, but the old village chief knows that something is wrong inside, frowns, and thinks: Maybe it will really be there, since this tree appeared in the village, although nothing happened in the village, but this time it suddenly lost a person, which is something that has never happened before.
With such an idea, maybe it was superstition, maybe it was just believing the nonsense of the second-rate man, and the village chief also said something, you might as well try it.
When the words fell, the man was really like a demon, and immediately stood up and walked towards the east end of the village, and the villagers were also attracted by his actions, of course, most of them also wanted to see the excitement to see if his wife would appear under the tree.
So you ran after the man, and the women kept running behind them, and they talked as they ran, which was really funny.
The east end of the village has always been very desolate, with only a few families living in it, most of them living in the south, and not many people come to the east, but they are not far away, and everyone can see each other.
But after a while, the man ran to the east end of the village, the big locust tree seemed to have become a little bigger, and the strange branches and leaves of the tree were constantly dangling in the moonlight, which was very weird, if it was daytime, it would be fine, but at night, this strange and gloomy atmosphere would probably scare away many people.
"Mi-sook!"
This was the woman's name, and the man ran to the vicinity and shouted loudly, and suddenly, he seemed to see someone hanging from the big locust, but he couldn't see it at all if he didn't look closely.
At this time, the villagers behind also followed, ran to the man's side, and shouted the woman's name, looking anxious, only to find out where the woman was when they arrived!
"Where is it! Lie. ”
I don't know who broke the silence, and the first one said jokingly, but the man didn't seem to want to believe what he said, so one of them shouted loudly.
At this time, something seemed to move on the big locust tree not far away, making a rustling sound, and the nearby villagers were also frightened by this sudden situation, and they all took a few steps back, with a look of fear on their expressions.
"Rustle—"
The voice sounded again, and everyone suddenly seemed to have fried the pot, pushing one by one to let people see, but they all knew the weirdness of this strange tree, who dared to run down in the middle of the night to see, and it was stalemate for a while.
In this way, you and I were bustling, and no one would come forward to take a closer look, knowing that suddenly, the man said:
"I'll go!"
His words were firm, with a resolute expression, and he didn't make any expression, but he walked towards it like that, and he didn't speak, and everyone just watched him walk towards the big locust tree.
In the moonlight, his shadow stretched so long that it barely reached the feet of everyone, and many timid people even took a few steps back, showing their fear in their actions.
The man didn't look back, Mu Ne's footsteps dragged heavily on the ground, walking step by step, the villagers kept watching him, but no one dared to step forward to pull him, and soon the man walked under the big locust tree.
Suddenly, there was a terrible scream under the big locust tree, and it was like a voice of disbelief, in short, full of disbelief and panic.
The villagers who heard this sound were even more frightened, and for a while, many people ran home without holding back and disappeared into the darkness.
There are not many remaining villagers, but there are only a handful of seven or eight people, in addition to a bold farmer, there are also a few strong men, and then there is the village chief before that, as a model in the village, he didn't dare to run, and he couldn't run, but fortunately there were a few people left, so that he could continue to watch here with the courage, otherwise he would have been unbearable with his character.
"Village Chief, what should I do?"
A bold man in the prime of life walked up to the village chief and wanted to ask what to say, but his tone was more or less scared, but he had to bite the bullet for the sake of the village, and in fact, the few people left behind were also a few more responsible young people in the village.
"Why don't you go and take a look, pull him back, and if something is wrong, run away?"
Having said that, it's actually very obvious, no one knows what's under the tree, not to mention that the locust tree itself appears confused, and it always grows back weirdly the next day after being cut down a few times, and everyone is immune after a long time, and many people don't take this seriously.
The man in the prime of life glanced at it, swallowed his saliva, and slowly walked towards the big locust tree, his heart tangled, not knowing whether he was retreating or advancing.
It wasn't until suddenly, when the man knelt down under the big locust tree that he saw that there was something hanging from the tree, something like a sack.
But after a while, he noticed that something was wrong, and hurriedly ran over to see, but he didn't expect that something like this had happened.
I don't know who tied a sack to the branch, and from time to time a drop of something seeped out from the bottom, wetting the ground, and the man walked over tremblingly, trying to help the middle-aged man, but suddenly the man's head turned around, and his eyes were red and staring at the middle-aged man.
Seeing that it was such a situation, where did he dare to continue to stay, so he didn't care about thirty-seven twenty-one, and ran away.
Because the appearance of the middle-aged man is obviously evil, otherwise how can a person have red pupils like a beast?
Seeing that the man ran away like that, the rest of the people couldn't care about these things, and in an instant they went back to their respective homes like frightened birds, leaving the man alone and sitting in place and laughing stupidly, this laughter was very terrible and crazy in this silent night.
But rumors are still rumors, it's okay to talk about it after dinner, but if it's taken as a serious word, it's not appropriate, this story is full of loopholes and don't say it, people's eyes turn red won't be true, or it's eyeball bleeding, but it was maliciously interpreted by these villagers, but I didn't expect it to become a horror story that was passed on by people's mouths.
But the women and men in the story are all poor people, and if they hadn't quarreled that night, maybe what happened later would not have happened.
However, it's too late to change what has happened, so let's accept it, but what makes me wonder is that there is anything to be afraid of about this big locust tree, but it is a little older, at most it is a little weird, and no one knows what Zhong Lingyuxiu has grown, maybe this thing has been deliberately demonized by others from the beginning.
I didn't think about it so much, I slowly walked to the bottom of the big locust tree alone, as for Chen Dong and Zhang Qiang, they quietly hid in the bushes not far from me, ready to come over to help me whenever there was any trouble, and it was also painful for them, I tried not to look over there, so as not to be exposed for a while.
Unexpectedly, Fang Jun and I met for the first time after his disappearance, in such a form.
I continued to stay here for a while, but I didn't know that suddenly a gust of wind came there, and I quickly hid behind the big locust tree, and the big locust tree was still the same, but the leaves were blown to make a rustling sound, one after another.
But after a while, I seemed to hear a sound of footsteps there, just intermittently, not like walking straight over, I looked in the direction where Chen Dong and a few people were, and I didn't see anything, on the contrary, I also saw half of Chen Dong's head looking at me, I quickly waved my hand, signaling him to hide, there was movement.
So I also hid to see if there was really something, of course, just a little more, if the real Fang army came, but he was nowhere to be seen, it would definitely be wrong.
Sure enough, in just a few minutes, the gale stopped instantly as if it had been pressed to pause, and the footsteps in the distance were getting closer and closer, and he raised his courage to look in the direction he perceived, and a figure slowly approached, but every few steps he began to stop and look back, and he didn't know what was going on, as if he was afraid of something.
Under the illumination of the moon, the figure got closer and closer, and finally walked directly to a place a few meters away from the big locust tree, obviously not noticing me hiding behind the tree.
Then in the moonlight of the night, I finally saw the face that came clearly, wasn't it the long-missing Fang Jun?
Without waiting for him to react, I immediately rushed out and shouted:
"Fang Jun!"
The man seemed to be taken aback by my sudden reaction, and immediately turned around and looked at me with a strange expression:
"Who are you?"
Maybe it was because it was too dark, he didn't even know me for a while, but he just took a few steps back, looked at me vigilantly and said.
