Fat Chen heard Xu Annian suddenly say such a strange thing to himself, and looked at him in puzzlement

"What do you say?"

Xu Annian wanted to explain to him, but suddenly gave up, maybe he didn't understand what he just said until he experienced something. Indeed, if you haven't experienced someone else's experience, maybe you really shouldn't comment on his story! Because there are some things that I can't understand at all.

Fat Chen didn't care about anything, gently tapped his thigh a few times, and slowly stood up

"Hey, comrades! Have you noticed that it seems that the fog around us is getting smaller and smaller? ”

Xu Annian and Uncle Hu also looked around when Fat Chen said this, and sure enough, the fog just now had basically dissipated.

Uncle Hu seemed to breathe a sigh of relief and said hurriedly

"Let's go, go back to the car, let's get out of here quickly!"

Everyone nodded when they heard Uncle Hu's proposal, and after experiencing such a strange thing just now, everyone retreated in their hearts and wanted to leave here quickly.

But just as everyone got up and was about to leave

The fat man suddenly screamed out with a mother's voice, which lifted the heart that had just settled down again

"What's wrong? Fatso? ”

Xu Annian immediately asked

The fat man pointed with both hands and stammered,

"You, look, the tree!"

Following the direction pointed by the fat man, Xu Annian immediately looked over

Not far from them, there was a strange tree growing alone, this tree was unusually tall, but it seemed to be dead, and the whole thing was shriveled and broken, like rotten wood and dead ashes.

Most of the bark has fallen off, and the big holes in it that have been corroded by time are extremely dazzling, as if it is an old man with a thousand holes, and it is even more strange to look up, most of the branches have fallen off, leaving a strange branch root, the sharp thorn on the body of the trunk, only a thick branch stretches out, the wind blows, swaying, as if it will break at any time, from a distance, it looks like a dying old man stretching out the arm of the wind and the candle! There is no trace of vitality in sight.

Xu Annianzi carefully observed this tree and felt that this tree was extremely familiar. Just when he hasn't recovered yet.

The fat man shouted again, this time more terrified than before,

"Oh, look at the branch, there seems to be a person hanging on the branch?"

When the fat man said this, Xu Annian chuckled in his heart, and hurriedly looked at the single branch carefully

Sure enough, because all my attention was on the trunk of the tree just now, I didn't pay attention to the branches, and I saw that at the corner of the thick and broken branch, a lonely corpse was hanging on it, and the corpse seemed so lonely, just hanging there, I don't know how many years of wind and rain it had experienced, so silently watching the corners and corners of the woods,

Seeing the scene in front of them, the group hurriedly walked a few steps closer, this time they saw more clearly, through the tips of those layers of branches, it was clearly seen that it was a thin and thin corpse, although it had basically dried into white bones, but from the clothes on his body that had been eroded and worn out by the wind and rain, it could be vaguely seen that it was a white skirt, and the most unacceptable thing was that this corpse was not hung on the tree normally, but by the thick branch, straight from the position of the eye into the head, and then hung there alive, it is really unimaginable what kind of tragic experience he experienced during his lifetime.

See the familiar white skirt, this strange single-branched tree. Xu Annian finally remembered at this moment, and he understood everything,

He understood why his dream-like experience just now appeared, and why he opened his eyes and returned to reality, maybe the incredible experience just now was really a dream, and this dream was what she wanted to know from the tree, she wanted to tell herself what happened to her, and what others had done to her!

She is the poor girl in white!!

At this moment, Xu Annian couldn't say a word, as if he was blocked by something, extremely aggrieved!

After Uncle Hu saw this strange tree, he took a few steps forward, walked directly in front of this strange tree, frowned, and a sound came out of his mouth

"What's the matter, Uncle Hu. What did you find? ”

The fat man saw that Uncle Hu seemed to know something, and asked hurriedly

Uncle Hu carefully touched the bark, and immediately walked back, saying suspiciously

"Could this be the legendary single locust?"

When the fat man heard that Uncle Hu seemed to know the origin of the tree, he hurriedly urged

"What single-branched locust? Uncle Hu, you should be clear! ”

Uncle Hu didn't dare to believe it, and Youyou said

"This tree should be a single-branched locust, also known as Juyin Ghost Locust! Legend has it that this tree is unusually large and much larger than the average locust tree, and that no vegetation appears in the vicinity of it. There are no roots and no leaves, and the surface of the trunk will flow a red viscous liquid, which is the same as blood, and the biggest feature is that a tree will only grow one branch, and the shape is abnormally strange. And the only branch can gather the ghosts and trap the ghosts, leaving the soul of the deceased in the body of the tree forever, immortal and unfree, and has endured endless torture in life. It is a tree of resentment, which represents sin! In ancient times, only the most heinous people would be nailed to this kind of tree to punish him for his lifelong sins, I really don't know what the person in front of me did to be treated like this, and he can't even be freed from death! Ay! ”

The fat man wiped the sweat from his forehead,

"It's really fake, Uncle Hu, is this tree really so evil? Doesn't I think this is a slightly strange-growing tree? ”

Uncle Hu was obviously not sure

"I've heard it from other places occasionally, and this is the first time I've seen an entity, and I'm not sure in my heart, but if you look at it from a normal point of view, the single-branched locust can't be defined as a plant, it survives on yin energy, and it doesn't depend on nutrients and water in the land. I just heard that there used to be this kind of tree, but now it has long disappeared, but I didn't expect to see it with my own eyes today! It's horrible! But I don't quite understand why this single-branched locust is so dilapidated, obviously withered for a long time, no life at all, and no liquid is coming out of the trunk. Looking at the hole in the trunk of the tree, it was obvious that it was dead. It's not the same as the legend says! ”

The conversation between Uncle Hu and the fat man kept coming from his ears, but Xu Annian couldn't listen to anything at this time.

Facing the locust tree and the corpse in front of you! There was not the slightest fear in his heart, just pity and sorrow! Sad for human nature, sad for the feudalism of the old society, and even more sad for the little girl who was tortured, the little girl who couldn't even get rid of death and had to endure torture,

Did she do something wrong? The answer is no, but why should she accept such an inhuman encounter if she has done nothing wrong? Is it because of the black eyes of the twins? It's not fair, it's really not fair! Is God blind?

Looking at the corpse of the girl hanging from the tree, the branch that was forcibly pierced in the eye hole of the white skull, he could imagine that those damn fools must have pierced the little girl's eyes with a branch at that time, and then hung on the tree like that,

He seemed to hear the little girl's heart-rending cries and complaints, and even felt the pain of not dying after those eyes were pierced, she may not have been beaten to death, but was hung alive from a tree!

Xu Annian didn't dare to think about everything anymore, he raised his head, but the tears still couldn't stop flowing, not for the sky or the earth, just for the little girl who was in great pain!

The fat man didn't notice Xu Annian's abnormal behavior, and hurriedly pulled the neckline of his clothes tight,

"This thing is so scary, let's go, let's go!"

After speaking, Xu Annian wanted to turn around and leave, but he didn't pull it, and hurriedly urged

"What are you looking at, An Nian, let's go!"

Uncle Hu also stopped turning to leave, and turned to look at the two of them

Xu Annian ignored the fat man and just muttered in a low voice

"She's a poor person!"

The fat man didn't seem to hear clearly

"What did you say?"

Xu Annian didn't speak, just raised his arm behind his back, and then ran towards the big tree frantically!

Chen Fatzi was startled by Xu Annian's sudden move, and was busy about to run over and hug him, shouting anxiously

"Are you crazy? What to do? ”

Seeing this scene, Uncle Hu hurriedly grabbed the fat man and said thoughtfully

"Xiaobao, don't be impulsive, look at what he is going to do!"

At this time, Xu Annian didn't pay attention to the actions of the fat man behind him, ran straight to Shan Zhihuai, and stepped on it with one foot. How could the already fragile trunk withstand such a collision, and there was a cracking sound in an instant, but Xu Annian didn't care about it at all, there was only one thought in his mind, I want to save her!

Xu Annian's crazy actions made the fat man's heart beat and shouted on the side

"Annian, slow down, what are you doing! Come back soon! Dangerous! ”

But Xu Annian didn't pay attention to the fat man at all, and still climbed up without hesitation, although it was extremely difficult, he had no regrets.

Time passed minute by minute, and at last he climbed to the side of the only branch, and although he almost fell from the tree several times along the way, he persevered.

He slowly moved sideways to the side of the corpse, and at this time, Xu Annian saw the skeleton up close, without the slightest timidity and fear,

That's right, it's her, it's really her, the dark white collared skirt, the black hair that has dried up into willows, and the eye-catching simple little hemp rope on it, the thin arm bones that have been deformed by gravity!

Heart, pain! Indescribable pain! It hurts like dead!

Xu Annian seemed to see what she looked like before she was alive, the thin girl with special eyes and full of sorrow, the poor girl who was frightened by the world in his arms and kept trembling, the sad girl who suffered endless humiliation and was finally hurt to death!

Xu Annian just stared at the corpse, sentimental, resentful, and compassionate!

He gently placed his hand on the skull with the slightest hint of black hair, and muttered slowly, sadly

"Reincarnated as a man, I have wronged you!"
