Chapter Eighty-Eight: The Dead Man's Tree
Blood was dripping from the trunk, this was really something that had never been seen or heard, Liu Laosan was taken aback, hurriedly took two steps back, hit the stone with his heel, and sat on the ground.
Li Chenfeng looked at him in a panic and looked very puzzled.
"What's the matter, you're crazy?"
Liu Laosan stretched out his trembling finger to the tree trunk, and said with a mouth in his mouth: "Blood...... It's blood! ”
Li Chenfeng didn't understand what he meant, thinking that he accidentally injured himself and bled when he used his hoe. So I walked up to him. "It's frizzy, let you be careless, why don't you just dig a gold bar, what are you excited about."
"No, the tree is bleeding!"
Li Chenfeng finally understood what he meant, but thought about how could the tree bleed? It must be Liu Laosan who was dazzled.
But when he turned around, a gap in the trunk of the tree was indeed dripping with sticky liquid, and he turned on the flash of his mobile phone to take a photo, but he didn't expect it to be blood.
He was muttering in his heart, when suddenly he felt a hot sensation in his chest, and it was the little wooden man who reacted. Don't......
He hurriedly turned to Liu Laosan and said, "Pay attention, there seems to be something unclean in this place." ”
As soon as he heard this, Liu Laosan was frightened enough, at this time, the night was dark and the wind was high, the original white moon in the sky was also covered by dark clouds, the barren mountains and lonely villages were dark, and the atmosphere became very weird.
Liu Laosan trembled and walked up to Li Chenfeng and whispered, "I feel that something is wrong, or let's go." ”
Li Chenfeng looked at his cowardly appearance and said, "Don't you want the gold bars that your father left you?" ”
Liu Laosan's head was dripping with cold sweat, and his mouth was panting loudly, but he couldn't give a definite statement.
He was scared, but he was reluctant to give up the yellow bar.
When Li Chenfeng saw him like this, he was not infected by his fear, but smiled slightly: "When I heard that there was dirty things, I was scared into this ghostly appearance, but you are still a Taoist priest in the first grade." ”
Liu Laosan said: "Where am I a Taoist priest, joining Yipin Dao is to follow the organization to eat, and it is the same as joining the gang formed by those gangsters on the street." ”
After hearing this, Li Chenfeng ignored him anymore, picked up the hoe on the ground, and slammed it towards the trunk of the big locust tree.
The trunk of the big locust tree is very thick, and it stands to reason that it is impossible to shake it with human strength, but under this hoe, the big locust tree seems to shake itself, and some withered yellow leaves suddenly fall like rain.
Li Chenfeng's hoe was very forceful, and the gap in the trunk was much larger than the one just now, and the moment he pulled the hoe out of the trunk, a stream of blood spurted out, making him all over the face.
"Bah, fuck, that's weird."
Liu Laosan said on the side: "Brother Xiao Li, do you say that this book has become a refinement, let's stay away from it, don't eat us angrily after a while." ”
The tree has become a spirit? Li Chenfeng didn't believe it at all, this was pure fucking nonsense.
He guessed that there must be something hidden on the tree, and was looking up to take a picture of the tree with his mobile phone, when suddenly a hand slapped him on the shoulder.
Li Chenfeng's heart was shocked, and he turned around suddenly, only to see a strong light shining over, shaking him so much that he couldn't open his eyes.
"I'll go, what the hell ......"
He was just about to make a move, when Liu Laosan suddenly approached him and said, "Big sister, ...... you are"
Li Chenfeng squinted, and then he saw clearly that there was a young girl dressed as a village girl standing in front of her, with a flower headscarf wrapped around her head, wearing a red embroidered cloth dress, and she was holding a flashlight in her hand, and it was the light of this flashlight that shook Li Chenfeng's eyes just now.
Before Li Chenfeng could speak, the girl spoke first, with a strong local accent in her tone, but Li Chenfeng could barely understand it.
"What are you doing this big night, running to the Dead Man's Tree to tinker with, don't you want to die?"
Li Chenfeng frowned, looking very puzzled. "The Dead Man's Tree, what is the Dead Man's Tree?"
The girl took out a handkerchief from her pocket and handed it to Li Chenfeng, motioning him to wipe the blood off his face, and said: "During the Anti-Japanese War, this place was a mass grave, and there were a lot of dead people buried underneath. After the liberation, in order to commemorate these compatriots who were killed by the Japanese, the people of our village erected a large stone tablet directly above the mass grave, and engraved the names of some of the deceased who could be found to be identified.
Later, somehow, a locust tree grew next to the stele, and the people in our village didn't pay much attention to it at that time, but later found out that this small sapling grew more than ten meters tall in only a year or so, and it grew like this in a few years, and even the previous stele was wrapped into its trunk. ”
Listening to the girl's words, Li Chenfeng subconsciously glanced at the tree, according to normal circumstances, such a big tree will take at least a hundred years to grow, and it has grown from a small sapling to this kind of appearance in the past few years, which is really incredible.
The girl continued: "Later, the old man in the village said that the tree had absorbed the corpse qi from the mass grave and had become a sperm. Later, the people of these families in the village near the big locust tree hanged themselves on the big locust tree for no apparent reason, and some even hung themselves collectively by a family of three, and the three people were neatly hanged together, and in 1998 alone, thirteen people were hanged from the tree. ”
When Liu Laosan heard the girl's words, he was so frightened that he pulled Li Chenfeng and was about to go to the side.
Li Chenfeng was stunned for a moment, something suddenly came to mind in his mind, and said, "Since this is the case, then how dare you still live in the village?" Aren't you afraid that this tree of the dead will kill you too? ”
The girl explained: "Actually, because of this dead man's tree, many people in the village have indeed walked, but there are still many people who can't walk, just like our family." My man is a paralyzed man, usually he can't even eat and drink his own food, drink and Lazar, I am a rough person in the countryside, I have no education, and I can't find a way to make a living when I go out, so I have no choice but to stay and continue to grow crops.
Alas, in fact, since 03 years, we have probably figured out the law of this dead man's tree, as long as the house is not too close to it, it is still fine, but it is still too dangerous to stay here at night like you. ”
Liu Laosan nodded hurriedly and said, "Thank you for the reminder, Brother Xiao Li, let's go quickly." ”
Li Chenfeng ignored Liu Laosan and continued to say to the girl: "Except for the few houses near the big locust tree that are empty, how many people are there in your village?" ”
The girl said: "In the past few years, most of the young people have gone out, and there are basically only some old people left in the village except for me and my men, and there are only about a dozen of them together." ”
Speaking of this, Li Chenfeng's face suddenly changed, and his tone became very strange.
"But when we came here today, we heard from an old man in the village that the people of the village died last year, and now he is the only one."
At this time, Liu Laosan suddenly remembered that there was indeed such a thing, and he was suddenly shocked, and looked at this girl with frightened eyes.
