Chapter 122: Extraneous Branches

The master had no choice but to lead Xiao Chujiu and them, found the shopkeeper, and asked where there was a peach tree.

The shopkeeper said, out of the town to the east four or five miles, there is a peach forest, for many years, in the past there was a peach orchard, I don't know who planted it, and then I don't know what reason, the person who planted the peach tree is gone, the peach orchard is no longer taken care of, over time it has become a wild peach forest, every year there will be a lot of peaches, but none of them can be eaten, astringent and bitter. Draft, let's revise it tomorrow. I am now more and more aware that writing books is the same as doing things, drawing talismans, and opening light, all of which are absorbing energy from me, and writing books is chronic, and it will take several days to write before my body reacts, and if I draw talismans, I only need to draw three talismans in one breath, and I can drain the energy in my body, and it will take many days to recover. Having said that, now as long as you write a draft chapter, you have to rest overnight to have the energy to revise, the draft is not readable, I can't read it myself, so if you want to read it, you can read it, and if you don't want to read it, you will read it tomorrow when my energy recovers and revises.

The grandfather doesn't care about whether the peaches are delicious or not, as long as he can cut the peach branches, but they don't have enough horses at this time, only the two horses of my grandfather and the entertaining girl are left, and it takes four or five miles to get the peach branches, and it takes more than ten miles to get to the Jiang family's cemetery, and it takes too much time to walk.

The master discussed with the entertainer girl to let her and the ghost monkey stay in the inn and give her mount to Xiao Chujiu. When the girl heard this, she agreed, but she didn't agree to stay in the inn, she had to go with my grandfather, the grandfather said, there are not enough horses, how can you go, the girl smiled and said, I will ride a horse with you, the ninth brother and eleven by a horse, if you don't agree, don't want to use my horse.

The grandfather disagreed, men and women did not kiss, two people riding the same horse is what's the matter, and then found the shopkeeper and asked him if there was a horse seller in the town, the shopkeeper shook his head like a rattle, the shopkeeper said, they are a small town, there are not many people riding horses, let alone selling horses, the grandfather suddenly made a difficulty, but the girl was very happy next to him.

The grandfather left them alone and went alone, but the Xiao Chujiu brothers disagreed, they were afraid that my grandfather would turn around and go to Jiang's house.

In the end, there was no way, leaving the little ghost monkey at the inn, Xiao Chujiu rode the girl's horse and took Xiao Shiyi, and the grandfather rode his own horse and brought the girl.

The four of them went out of the town, went straight east along the road, walked out for four or five miles, and a peach forest appeared next to the road, at this time, the autumn wind was bleak, and the peach trees were basically leafless and bare.

Dismounted on the side of the road, the master looked at this peach forest, and sure enough, it had been abandoned for a long time, and every peach tree in the forest was full of branches, giving people a desolate and terrifying feeling.

The master beckoned everyone, this peach forest doesn't look like a good place, it's full of evil spirits, just cut some peach branches on the edge of the forest, don't go inside.

A few people took out the weapons in their waists and started to cut down peach branches at the edge of the forest, but these peach trees have been around for some years, at least ten years old, all of them are tall and stout, and the branches that can be worn under the trees are relatively thick, and the peach branches with the thickness of the thumb are almost all on it, and if you want to reach the thinner peach branches, you must climb to the top of the tree.

A few people didn't want to climb the tree, so they looked for some peach trees that could be cut down, cut and chopped, and before they knew it, they walked out of the depths of the forest for a distance.

Seeing that the peach branch was almost chopped, suddenly, there was an exclamation from the showgirl, and when the master heard it, they all ran towards her.

The master was the first to run to the girl, looked at the girl, and saw that the girl's face was like ashes, and then looked at her hand, his left hand was full of blood, and the short knife also fell to the ground, and the master hurriedly asked the girl: "What's the matter, did you accidentally cut your own hand?" ”

The girl trembled and glanced at my grandfather, but she didn't say anything, and the grandfather suddenly looked a little anxious, "Where is the cut, show me quickly." As he spoke, he took the girl's left hand and looked at it, and was stunned for a moment, and saw that the girl did not see a wound on her left hand except for blood, and then took the girl's right hand and looked at it, and there was no wound, and was about to ask the girl what was wrong.

I heard Xiao Chujiu, who rushed over, say, "This peach tree is bleeding......"

The master was startled, turned his head to look at the peach tree beside the girl, and saw that on the peach tree, there was a peach branch the thickness of a thumb, which was slowly bleeding outward.

Seeing this, the master's face suddenly changed, "It's not good, get out of here quickly!" ”

The girl seemed to be frightened stupid at this time, and she didn't stand still, but the master grabbed her. Several people quickly got out of the peach forest, turned over and got on their horses, didn't even turn their heads, beat their horses and whipped, and hurried along the road in the direction of the Jiang family's ancestral tomb.

Along the way, the entertainer girl was frightened, sat behind the horse, and hugged my grandfather tightly with both hands, and the grandfather knew that she was frightened and did not object.

After coming to the ancestral tomb of the Jiang family, a few people got off the horse, the girl looked listless, and the grandfather accompanied Xiao Shiyi with her, sitting in the distance to rest, he and Xiao Chujiu two people, cut the peach branches that were cut, and beat one into the grave.

In the end, the peach branches were not enough, and the peach branches of the two tombs were missing, and the master saw that the girl was still languishing, so he ordered Xiao Chujiu to take the girl back to the inn first, and he and Eleven went to find two peach branches to come over.

However, when the girl was put on the horse, the girl quit, didn't ride the same horse with Xiao Chujiu, and stuck to my grandfather alive or dead, Xiao Chujiu said to my grandfather, you should send the girl back to the inn, I will take Eleven to find the peach branch.

The master had to tell Xiao Chujiu to be careful, and he returned with the girl.

Back at the inn, the girl's expression became more and more depressed, sent her back to the room, put her on the bed, the girl closed her eyes and stopped moving, the master reached out and touched the girl's forehead, a little hot, the symptoms were like a fever, but this was definitely not a fever, it should be related to the bleeding peach tree.

My grandfather heard my ancestor say that some trees that have become essence, once their branches are broken or their bark is cut, they will flow out a bright red liquid like human blood.

As soon as the master turned around, he was about to leave the room, but at this moment, the girl called: "Brother Bingshou, don't go, stay and accompany me." ”

When the master looked back, he saw that the girl didn't open her eyes, and the master said, "You rest first, and I'll go to the peach forest again." ”

The girl suddenly cried out, "I'm so scared, don't go." ”

The master said: "There's nothing to be afraid of, you wait for me to come back." The master turned around and was about to leave, but the girl actually sat up from the bed with her eyes closed, and said, "There are so many people in the room, I'm so scared, don't go." ”

The master subconsciously glanced into the room, except for him and the showgirl, there was no one else, and the master said: "Don't be afraid, all you see are illusions, wait for me to come back!" ”

As soon as the master's voice fell, the girl suddenly closed her eyes and sobbed, tears flowed down the corners of her eyes, and she said: "I know you don't like me, but I like you, no matter where you go in the future, I will follow you......"

The flesh on the master's face couldn't help twitching, and said, "Don't say stupid things, you are evil now, I'll go back when I go." ”

After the master said, the girl opened her eyes in a moment, turned over and got out of bed, and hugged the master, "I don't allow you to go, I'm afraid, I want you to stay with me." ”

The girl hugged very in, the master pulled her hands, but she couldn't pull them away, the master struggled twice, but she couldn't break free, not that the master really couldn't break free, but he was afraid that he would hurt her again with too much force.

The master had to compromise, "Okay, I won't go, but you have to lie back on the bed, don't hold me like this." ”

When the girl heard this, she slowly let go of the master, and the master helped her to the side of the bed to lie down, she grabbed one of the master's arms and closed her eyes.

The master waited for a while and tried to withdraw his arm, but as soon as he retracted it, the girl would hold it tightly, and the girl was confused at this time, and the master could not forcibly shake it off.

Sitting on the edge of the bed, accompanying the girl, just like that, half an hour passed quickly, and the girl's exposed arm was a little numb, the master tried to move, the girl didn't react, and carefully pulled her arm back, the girl didn't react at all, it seemed to be asleep, however, the girl's face was dark at this time, and the yin hall was blue, it should be yin and evil into the body, if you don't deal with it, it will become more and more serious.

The master got up and was about to stand up from the side of the bed, but the girl suddenly grabbed his arm again, and the master immediately frowned tightly.

At this time, there was a knock on the door outside, followed by Xiao Laodao's voice: "Girl, are you in the room?" ”

When my grandfather heard this, he hesitated for a moment, and then replied, "Brother Xiao is back, and we are all in the room." ”

"Is it convenient to get in?" Xiao Laodao asked.

My grandfather's face suddenly turned red when he asked this, and he hurriedly replied: "Of course it's convenient, Brother Xiao, come in quickly, the girl has fallen into evil." ”

The door was pushed open, and Xiao Laodao, Xiao Chujiu, Xiao Shiyi, and the little ghost monkey were all standing outside.

Xiao Laodao stepped into the house and said, "Chu Jiu said that you had come back a long time ago, but I didn't see you in the room, so I wanted to come over and ask the girl, but I didn't expect you to be together." ”

The grandfather's face turned red again and said, "Brother Xiao, don't get me wrong, Lan'er is evil, and she won't let go if she holds my arm." ”

Xiao Laodao smiled, walked to the side of the bed and looked at the girl on the bed, then looked at my grandfather, and asked, "Good and decent, why did you fall into evil?" ”

The grandfather told me about cutting peach branches, and after listening to it, Xiao Laodao asked my grandfather, "Is there any way to deal with it?" ”

The master said: "There is a way, but I can't get out of it now." ”

When Xiao Laodao heard this, he looked at the arm that was being held by the girl, and Xiao Laodao said, "You tell me how to do it, and I'll deal with it." ”

The master said: "There are three methods, one is to send, one is to kill, and the other is to offer, this one has to find the peach tree, discuss it with it, or send it away, or offer it, as for killing, my father told me, it is best not to kill, there will be retribution for killing." ”

Xiao Laodao asked, "How can you discuss it with it?" ”

The master said: "Ask the peach tree to see what it wants, there will be a hint, or, you can take Eleven, see if Eleven can see it, if you can see it, it will be easy to do." ”

"Okay, you wait at the inn, I'll take Eleven over."
