Chapter Forty-Six: Broken Notes
When I got Wang Cui's notebook, I couldn't wait to open it, I was too curious about the secret.
Wang Cui sighed, silently brewed tea on the side, and there was a little helplessness on her face.
I didn't bother with her, and looked at the notes seriously.
In fact, there is not much written down in the delicate notebook, but only some scribbled text, as well as blurred photos and copies pasted on it.
It seems that it is not very easy for Wang Cui to retain these contents, and it has taken a lot of hard work.
I started reading from the first page, and judging from the tone of the text, it seems to be a passage written by Grandpa Xie Kun:
In recent years, the village has become more and more peaceful, but I am panicked, and that incident has always weighed on my heart. Starting from the old grandson's family the year before last, the life of the old Wang family also improved last year, Tushen always looked at me pitifully, and my father was really panicked.
Lao Sun and Lao Wang are really bold, and they are not afraid of making money and spending their lives, but their babies are all fat and fat. Well, tomorrow, if Tushen wakes up hungry again, I'll go under that demon tree. ’
I frowned, sure enough, the development of the villagers is related to the big willow tree, and before the Xie family, there were the Sun family and the Wang family, but I have never heard of these two families in Wuyangtun.
Xie Kun's grandfather called the big willow tree a demon tree, and the Sun and Wang families, who relied on the willow tree to make their fortune, should not end well.
I sighed and continued to look through my notes, which was another record left by Grandpa Xie Kun:
It's been a year since I found it under the demon tree, and I really feel that the fortune has come, just doing business casually, and the money has been made one after another, and Tushen also looked down on my father.
But I feel more and more that the revenge of the demon tree is coming, this feeling is terrible, and I am afraid that I will not be able to resist for long. I must hold on and think of a solution, otherwise it will be Tushen's turn as soon as I die, Tushen can't do without this family business, this kid is greedy......
The so-called revenge of the demon tree in this paragraph, I think it should be the inexplicable attraction of the big willow tree to Xue Shuai on the night of the full moon. For ordinary people, this is indeed difficult to resist.
Judging from the notes, the greeting of the big willow tree to the villagers seems to be related to blood.
I put down my notes, looked at Wang Cui who was pouring tea on the side, and let out a long sigh:
"No wonder you don't fight for your property, but ask for a sum of money to go away, it turns out that you already know about the tree."
Wang Cui smiled and said:
"I once overheard the old dead saying that the tree was both a cash cow and a debt collection tree. It brings wealth, but it also reaps life, and whoever takes its money, it asks for a debt. ”
I nodded, and it seemed that the people hanging themselves from the big willow tree were all rich people in the village.
Wang Cui was still laughing, and this time her smile was even more crazy:
"In fact, the people in the village have long known that the Xie family and the Xue family are ...... There is something wrong with these people! ”
"Wuyangtun, where chickens don't lay eggs and birds don't, why did they make a fortune, they didn't exchange their lives for it! But no one said it, everyone looked at it coldly, and when they sent it, they rewarded them with two dates. ”
"When I passed the door, Xie Ming had been out on his own for a long time, Xie Kun pulled me to give birth to a son, and the people in the village looked at me coldly!"
In the end, Wang Cui was a little hysterical.
I was slightly stunned, then smiled wryly.
The big willow tree will collect debts from the person who took its money, so Xie Tushen should have made it clear before his death, handed over all the family business to Xie Kun, and let the other sons go out to avoid trouble.
Xie Kun is very smart, and he should have made it clear to Xie Ming as soon as possible. However, the Xie family owes the debt to the big willow tree, and someone must bear it, so Xie Kun married Wang Cui.
Wang Cui and her son, although they wore gold and silver, brocade clothes and food, they were destined to be victims from the beginning.
It's no wonder that Wang Cui asked me for help, and she wanted to push out this family business.
I shook my head, didn't look at Wang Cui's tearful face, and continued to look at the notes.
The last few pages of the notebook were left by Xie Kun's father, Xie Tushen, and the content confirmed my previous conjecture that the big willow tree would bring wealth, but it would make people obsessed step by step, and finally it would save people's lives.
In the words left by Xie Tushen, I can feel his inner pain and struggle, desperately trying to find a solution, but to no avail.
At the end of the note, the part where Wang Cui took photos is some records from a longer period ago, the characters are all in traditional Chinese, and the time should be when Wuyangtun was first established.
The photo was very blurry, and there were a lot of missing words on it, so I could only stumble over a rough read.
When there was no Wuyangtun, there was a demon rebellion in this land, and many people died. The specific reason is not mentioned in the note, only that a Taoist priest came here.
This Taoist priest has no name and no surname, and his skills are extremely high, he easily quelled the demon rebellion, planted this big willow tree, and let the villagers thrive here, saying that this tree can keep one side safe......
"How can this be, it shouldn't be!"
I smacked my lips, I really couldn't understand why the willow tree that kept peace had become a blood-sucking demon tree after more than a hundred years.
Wang Cui had already wiped away her tears and asked:
"Master Han, what have you discovered?"
I nodded, pondered for a moment, and vaguely understood.
At the very beginning, the big willow tree should not be a demon tree, or Wuyangtun would not have been safe for so many years, but with the passage of time...... The big willow tree has changed, and it should have been affected by the evil spirit of the Taoist town in Wuyangtun.
I'm very familiar with this kind of method-
"It's the suppression of evil, there are demons and evil spirits that are suppressed under the roots of the tree, and over time, they rely on demon power to erode the sacred tree and confuse Wuyangtun!"
"Yes, that Taoist priest was also an evil man back then!"
I slapped my thigh and finally figured it out.
Why is it that it has not become a sperm, and the big willow tree with a lot of aura will hook people and suck blood; Why was the big willow tree obviously sealed, but Xie Kun and the others still hung themselves on the tree, because the real monster was never the big willow tree!
Speaking of which, it was I who sealed the big willow tree, so that the demons under the roots of the tree could no longer be suppressed, so that Xie Kun and the others died directly, and Wuyangtun became fishy.
"Oh no, the things under the tree are about to run out!"
I didn't bother to say sorry to Wang Cui, I ran all the way and ran out directly.
Leaving Xie's house, I first went to tear off the seal on the big willow tree, and the willow branches fell apart, but they all began to wilt.
The fishy stench decreased slightly, but soon rose again.
I'm so anxious that I'm running out of time!
I hurried to find Wei Dawei and said to him:
"Uncle Wei, now! Notify the villagers of the transfer! It's good to go anywhere, if you want to leave the distance of Wuyangtun two miles, something big is going to happen! ”
