Chapter Seventy-Seven: The Locust Tree

I was so frightened that I ran towards the big locust tree.

That's right! There is really a man hanging himself in the shade of this big locust tree! Because I could faintly see the outline of the shadow, it was really exactly like a person!

However, just as I was about to run to the big locust tree, I couldn't help frowning, because this approach, the figure on the big locust tree was no longer a human figure, but a strangely shaped branch......

Yes, a strangely shaped branch, upside down in the shape of a mallet, so from a distance it looks like a man hanged in the shade of a tree.

I couldn't help frowning, of course I had never seen such upside-down tree branches growing upward, and I continued to walk in to see it clearly.

However, at this moment, my abdomen was heavy, and a hand that appeared out of nowhere stopped directly in front of me.

Of course, I stopped, looked down, and saw that it was a middle-aged man with a bamboo basket on his back.

The middle-aged man looked forty or fifty years old, with a wrinkled face and a pair of yellowed eyes, staring at me up and down.

"Young man, I just called you, can't you hear?"

"You...... Did you call me? ”

I frowned, of course I hadn't heard any shouts just now.

The middle-aged man sighed and looked at the big locust tree on the side, with a hint of anger in his voice.

"It's a wicked thing, you have to cut it as soon as possible!"

I couldn't help but be stunned, and glanced at the upside-down branches of the big locust tree.

"Senior, you said that this big locust tree is evil, is it because this big locust tree grows upside down?"

"Young man, how can you not see everything when you are young?"

The middle-aged man shook his head, grabbed my wrist, and led me to the bottom of the big locust tree.

It wasn't until a few steps later that I followed the middle-aged man to the bottom of the big locust tree, and I couldn't help but widen my eyes.

The underside of this big locust tree, because of the overgrown weeds, completely obscured its roots, and the roots of this big locust tree actually did not grow on the side of the road, but on the cliff!

Yes! On the other side of the weeds under the big locust tree, there is a cliff, and in the cliff, there is a ravine, and this big locust tree grows up from the cliff of the cliff, just because of the dense weeds, people think it is on the side of the road.

In other words, if I had just looked up at the branches in the shade of the locust tree and continued to walk underneath the locust tree, then I would probably have passed through the weeds and fallen off the cliff because my attention was attracted by the branches in the shade of the locust tree.

"See, boy, right? You said you're young, why haven't I seen anything thoroughly? ”

I smirked, but my heart moved again, because I found that the inexplicable chill in my heart was gone.

Yes, the inexplicable chill in my heart is gone, and there is no yin around this big locust tree...... Wait a minute!

The reason why my attention is attracted by the branches of the big locust tree is because it exudes a yin qi, that is to say, ordinary people who pass by this road, people who cannot perceive the yin qi, will not be attracted by this big locust tree.

And people like me, who can perceive yin qi, that is, aliens, will be attracted by the big locust tree when they pass this road, and it is natural that they will see the branches on the big locust tree as hanging people, and then keep approaching to see it clearly.

In other words, if someone deliberately did the yin qi on this big locust tree, then that person wanted to use this big locust tree to deal with the alien, so that the alien fell off the cliff and died.

And the yin qi on this big locust tree, if it is emitted by the locust tree itself, then it is this locust tree that is attracting passing aliens, causing them to fall off the cliff.

Of course, the first one may be obviously more credible, because if the big locust tree itself emits yin qi and leads strangers to fall into the cliff, it means that the big locust tree has become a fine man.

I believe in ghosts, but I really can't believe such a thing.

In other words, someone used this big locust tree to harm the stranger in the past, but why did that person do it?

couldn't figure it out, so he looked at the middle-aged man and opened his mouth.

"Senior, has anyone fallen off a cliff?"

"Of course there are, and there are more than one or two."

The middle-aged man replied, frowning again, and stopped talking a little.

"And ......"

"And what?"

I hurriedly asked.

"And the people who fell down were all the clerks in the vicinity of this radius......"

The middle-aged man replied, shook his head and stared at the ravine under the cliff, and muttered evil again.

I nodded my head, because I was right.

If the yin qi of this big locust tree is really deliberately done by someone, then its purpose is to attract aliens who can perceive yin qi and make aliens fall off the cliff.

As for why.

I didn't expect it just now, but now that I think about it, there is an explanation, that is, the person who emitted yin qi on the big locust tree didn't want to let the stranger enter Yujiawan.

Yes! The person who released the yin qi on this big locust tree didn't want the alien to enter Yujiawan, so he used the big locust tree to set up a barrier at this intersection to deal with the alien.

As for why I don't want to let the stranger enter Yujiawan, I can't speculate, but it seems that there is something really wrong with this Yujiawan.

"By the way, boy, where are you going?"

At this time, the middle-aged man next to me spoke again.

"Oh, it's okay, I'll walk around."

I replied with a smile.

"Don't wander around."

The middle-aged man waved his hand and pointed to the side of the hill where I had come.

"To go to the peak of the Dragon's Tooth Valley and the playground, you have to go that way."

"I know seniors, I just want to distract myself and go back later."

I was still smiling, and the middle-aged man nodded, and told me to stay away from the big locust tree, and then turned to the dirt road on the side of the big locust tree.

I stared at the back of the middle-aged man for a moment, and instantly thought of what the driver said, the dirt road on the side of the big locust tree is the road to Yujiawan.

Well, this is a middle-aged man who went straight into the dirt road......

"Seniors wait!"

I hurried after him and took a few steps to the middle-aged man.

The middle-aged man turned his head to look at me, his wrinkled face full of doubt.

"Anything else, young man?"

"Senior, this dirt road leads to Yujiawan, right?"

I asked, I thought that the middle-aged man would change his mood when he heard the word Yujiawan, but the middle-aged man nodded decisively.

"That's right, go around this dirt road to Yujiawan, I'm a person from Yujiawan, what's wrong guy, do you have something to do with Yujiawan?"

When I listened, I couldn't help frowning, of course, I didn't expect that the middle-aged man was from Yujiawan.

And according to the description of the driver master before, the people of Yujiawan ......

Suddenly, before I could think about it, the middle-aged man stared at me as if he had thought of something, shook his head and smiled.

"Young man, did you come on the shuttle bus from the amusement park?"

I was stunned and nodded.

"Then did you ask the bus driver about the road to Yujiawan, and the bus driver told you some nonsense?"

The middle-aged man asked again, and I was stunned again, a little I didn't know whether to nod or not, but the middle-aged man waved and smiled.

"Young man, don't worry, our Yujiawan is hospitable, and it is a well-known village of good people within a radius of ten miles."

"But the driver said......"

"Don't believe the king's words."

Before I could finish speaking, the middle-aged man looked at me and smiled again.

"That Wang Gui is from the next village, he didn't do his job when he was young, and several villages within a radius of ten miles have been stolen by him.

Once, he stole into our village, in fact, it is not a big mistake to steal something, but the mistake is that he touched the house of Widow Liu in our village.

So that time, after we caught Wang Gui, we taught him a hard lesson, that is, after that time, Wang Gui has always hated our village.

Now, Wang Gui has become an amusement park shuttle driver, and no matter who asks him about our village, he will say bad things about our village. ”

After the middle-aged man finished speaking, I suddenly realized, and quickly asked the middle-aged man about Yu Geng.

"Yu Geng?"

The middle-aged man frowned and shook his head.

"I haven't heard of anyone named Yu Geng in Yujiawan.

But maybe it's just that I don't know each other.

Yujiawan is a bay, there are three village teams in this bay, there are dozens of people in each village team, if you want to find someone, it is best to find the village chief, as long as it is a villager in Yujia Village, the village chief should know. ”

I nodded, and the middle-aged man immediately said that after entering the bay, he would take me directly to the village chief.

Of course, I thanked him, and walked down the dirt road with the middle-aged man, but when I thought of the big locust tree when I entered the dirt road, I couldn't help but feel a little strange in my heart.

The yin qi emitted from the big locust tree is likely to be deliberately done by someone, so that the passing aliens are attracted by the locust tree and fall to their deaths.

So, who did it on purpose? The people in Yujiawan? Is there someone in Yujiawan who doesn't want strangers to enter Yujiawan?

Of course, I don't have a clue, I just think that although this Yujiawan is not as evil as the driver said, it is definitely not simple, anyway, I have to be careful everywhere.

In this way, while thinking about it, he went down the dirt road with the middle-aged man, and also understood why this Yujiawan is called Yujiawan.

Because along with our descent, we can find that the situation of this whole dirt road, like the spiral staircase in the ancient castle of Xu Qiucheng, is spiraling downward.

On the left side of the road is a mountain wall, and on the right side is a cliff, that is to say, this Yujia Bay is surrounded by a number of mountains, and the reason why it is called a bay must be because there is a river under this Yujia Bay.

With our descent, it is equivalent to going deeper and deeper in the surrounding mountains, which also causes the sun to become darker and darker, and even after we have walked for about 20 minutes, there is almost no bright sunshine, and the surroundings are shady.

I couldn't help frowning, looking around at the surrounding mountains, only to feel that this bay was like a cage surrounded by mountains, which made me feel very uncomfortable.

It's like a bird that has been caught, once thrown into a birdcage, it is not so easy to be free......

"Here we are."

At this moment, the middle-aged man next to me opened his mouth and pointed to the mountain bay below us.

I looked along and saw that in the mountain bay below us, there was a flat land, and there were many tiled houses in the flat land, which should be the first village team in Yujiawan in the mouth of the middle-aged man.

At this time, the entrance of the first village team was surrounded by three or five children.

The children, who were not very old, looked like they were six or seven years old, dressed simply, were gathering together, kicking each other with a round ball made of bamboo and rattan.

I stared at the simple smiles on the children's faces, and the strangeness of this dark mountain bay dissipated a lot in my heart.

"Cow baby."

At this time, the middle-aged man next to me waved at the children at the entrance of the village.

"Come and get a hand."

Then, among the children, a child with braided hair stopped chasing the bamboo rattan ball and came to us at a trot.
