Inside the box was a round, green thing.

Qu Youying stretched out her hand and gestured, the thing was about the size of a palm, and it was very round, like a ball.

But this thing doesn't have the stalk of the fruit, and the outer layer of the peel is also wrinkled, and it doesn't look like the peel of the fruit.

"What the hell is this?"

She pulled it out of the box and found it heavier than it looked.

"Strange."

She sat on the ground, playing with the strange fruit with both hands, and put it in front of her nose and sniffed it, but it did not emanate the crisp smell of the fruit.

Instead, there was the smell of blood, and some of the smell of wood.

"This thing was deliberately placed in a dark compartment, and it was stored in a box with a picture of the old moon tree, what could it be? Fruit...... Fruit ......"

She stared at the fruit, trying to remember what the old man had told her about Inhuman Village.

"Ahh She suddenly stood up from the ground in excitement, "Fruit! At that time, the old man said that there was once a fruit on that big tree, which was very large and round, and was once worshipped. ”

She looked at the big round fruit in her palm and said, "Is this it?" If it is, why hide it here? No, no, no. ”

She said it to herself, and then immediately denied it.

"At that time, the old man said that the captain took the only fruit, and then the big tree was also dug up. It shows that this fruit is not the one of the captain. But this fruit is placed in the box where the moon tree is drawn, and it must be extraordinary. Could it be—"

A bold guess gradually crossed her mind, but she didn't understand, but if it was true, why was this fruit placed here?

"What do you mean?"

On the ground, a deep voice sounded in Qu Youying's back.

Qu Youying shuddered, but she was not afraid, but followed his words, "This fruit is the fruit that grows from the old moon tree." ”

The man continued, "Then who do you think took it off?" ”

"I asked the residents of Baixiang Village, and they said that the Yuelao tree blooms twice a year, in early winter and early autumn, and the flowers will wither overnight. But the old moon tree never bears fruit. If one day, the Yuelao Tree grows fruit, then the people of the entire Baixiang Village must know about it, and it is a good thing that everyone is happy. But the fact is that the villagers of Baixiang Village don't know that the Yuelao tree will grow fruits. However, there is a fruit here that looks like a moon tree grows, and it is well placed. So that's all it takes. ”

"Which point?"

"It means that the person who can put it here is the one who knows that the old moon tree will bear fruit. But the person who took away the fruit of Inhuman Village was Taiwei, and now that Taiwei is dead, he will know that the Yuelao Tree will still grow fruits, and the only one who cooperated with him at the beginning, and the person who took away Yuelao Tree, is you-" She turned around, looked at the man behind her, and said word by word, "Village Chief!" ”

Although the fire in the cave was dim, it shone on the man's face, forming a mottled interlacing, which was particularly terrifying to look at.

But the face full of years is indeed the village chief of Baixiang Village.

He stood opposite Qu Youying with his back straight, his right hand behind his back.

Judging by the shadow on the ground stretched by the candle flame, he must have something in his hand, and it was not in her favor.

Qu Youying took a deep breath, the stone gate behind the village chief was still closed, if he really came in through the stone gate, he would definitely make a lot of noise.

However, if he hadn't spoken just now, she wouldn't have discovered his existence.

Therefore, there must be a way out here, and there is no need to go through the stone gate.

So, where exactly?

Qu Youying's eyes began to look around, but in order not to make the village chief suspicious, she still said to him, "I don't know, is what I just said right?" The person who attacked Inhuman Village with Captain Yang was you! ”

"Not bad." The village chief said frankly, "It was indeed me who cooperated with him inside and outside at the beginning, so that I could successfully obtain the hidden secrets of the Inhuman Village. ”

"But there are no secrets in Inhuman Village, and you have killed hundreds of people in a village for this!"

Because she has seen too much death, Qu Youying's desire for life is very strong.

Because so many lives have died for various reasons, so those who are alive must work harder to live and live to bring the best tomorrow to those who have died.

However, the person in front of him actually killed so many people for some of their nominal "secrets".

It is not only life that deceives, but also the purest feelings between people.

"The people of Inhuman Village are eager to be understood by others and live like normal people, so they give everything to those who are kind to them. But what about you! Behind what seemed to help, there was actually a sharp knife hidden, stabbing them again and again—"

"These, you should go and tell Captain Yang!" The village chief interrupted her, and his voice was cold, "It was he who single-handedly planned this scene, and it was he who killed the people of the Inhuman Village with his own hands, and even his wife and children!" I just want to get my fair part! ”

Qu Youying frowned when she heard this, she hesitated for a long time before she said, "Where did you hide Yang Wan'er?" ”

Her sudden inquiry did not make the village chief feel strange, but she did not answer.

"At the Yuelao Tree Festival in Baixiang Village, you asked people to disguise themselves as Yang Wan'er, just to target her, so as to make Taiwei anxious, right? You and Taiwei dealt with Yiren Village together, but in the end he became the Taiwei of the Dynasty, with both wealth, power, fame and fortune, and you are just the head of an ordinary village, so when you learned that he would pass through Xiangling Town, you became murderous. Let's find out that the white bones in Xilin were also designed by you in advance, isn't it! You are scheming, just to dig out the things of the year, let the Taiwei be ruined, and then get what you deserve, right! ”

In the face of Qu Youying's accusations, the village chief did not deny it, he looked at Qu Youying with a faint look in his eyes, and suddenly smiled.

That laugh seems to be a big laugh, but there is a kind of infiltrating taste hidden in it.

Qu Youying instinctively took a few steps back, and at the same time clenched the fruit in his hand.

"This fruit grew from that big tree, and the captain took one of them. You removed the tree and hid it here, and twenty-five years later it grew a second one. Qu Youying frowned, she didn't understand and said, "Just for such a fruit, what is the use of it?" ”

"What's the use, don't you ask your high emperor to find it clear?"

These words silenced Qu Youying.

The village chief stared at her silence and smiled.

"Today's saint has been in poor health since he was born, and after he ascended the throne, he worked state affairs, and his body deteriorated. But since twenty-five years ago, the emperor, who had always been weak, began to recover, and his life, which was not just established, actually lived for so long. ”

Qu Youying also knew about this matter, and at that time, it was spread by many people.

Everyone said that this is God's love for the emperor, and the emperor is the real true dragon son.

The village chief glanced at her and continued, "But since last year, the emperor's body seems to have begun to fail again. In this regard, the major princes began to plan for the position of the emperor, which was a battle between open and secret, and the situation was treacherous. ”

Qu Youying also knew about the battle between the princes, but the emperor had not yet appointed the crown prince, so he didn't know what he was worried about.

"After the end of this year, the emperor fell seriously ill and did not recover a little until May, and after that, Taiwei appeared in Xiangling Town in the name of worshipping his ancestors. I knew what he wanted, so I prepared it for him before he arrived. The land in Sirin, the bones of which I was buried with him, will not be unaware. But what he wanted, I'm afraid he won't get it at all. ”

"That's what he wants?" Qu Youying listened to his memories and stretched out her right hand holding the fruit to him, "This thing can really save a person's life?" ”

"The emperor's life is a good example." The village chief's eyes kept staring at the fruit in her hand, shining, but he didn't rush to get it, just looked at it, and said softly, "I waited for more than 20 years, and finally at dawn one day, when the last petal of the flower on the tree fell, it appeared. ”

The village chief opened his hand as if in front of him was the old moon tree, and the only fruit was bearing on it.

"But!"

He suddenly clenched into a fist, and walked quickly towards Qu Youying.

Qu Youying was frightened and took a few steps back.

The village chief stopped a foot in front of her, looked at the fruit with a foolish look, and said in a slight tone, "However, it didn't take long for it to suddenly change from its original red appearance to such a green color, as if it was not ripe at all. I tried to get it back on the tree, but it failed. The fruit was shrinking day by day, and when it was about to dry up, my daughter accidentally dripped a drop of blood on it, and—" He suddenly looked at Qu Youying, his eyes widening and asked, "Do you know what happened then?" ”

Qu Youying was frightened by his appearance, "The blood penetrated into the fruit, and the fruit, which was originally going to be shriveled, gradually recovered. It's red again. That's when I learned that it needed blood to irrigate, because that tree was the one that fed with blood! So I used my own blood. But it's not enough! ”

He approached Qu Youying step by step, Qu Youying couldn't stop retreating, her heart was beating like thunder, and she had a bad feeling.

Because the village chief had already stretched out his right hand behind his back at this time, to the front, revealing the sharp dagger he was holding tightly in his hand.

"The blood I give it can't last long, it will dry up, and in order for this fruit to ripen completely, I need to constantly supply it with blood."

"So you kidnapped Yang Wan'er! You hate Taiwei, so using his daughter's blood to irrigate this fruit is the most suitable for you, isn't it! ”

"Hey......

The village chief burst out laughing, not admitting or denying this.

He looked at the fruit infatuatedly, and when his gaze swept over Qu Youying's face, he showed murderous intent.
