At this time, it was already evening, I parked the car at the entrance of the village, ready to get out of the car and ask Xue Quangui where his father's family lived?

We got out of the car, but we didn't see anyone left or right.

Suddenly, he pulled me, pointed to the front right, and said, "Do you see if there's a person under the tree?" ”

I heard that there was a big willow tree in front of us on the right, outside the village.

The willow tree was full of branches and foliage, and the canopy was very large, like a large umbrella stretched out.

It's just that I looked at it for a while, and I didn't see the person that the huge sea said.

I asked him suspiciously, "Who is it, are you dazzled?" ”

Da Dahai scratched his head: "No, I saw a person in red just now." Why is it gone in a blink of an eye? ”

I couldn't help but shiver, and I was dressed in red again. Although this red dress looks joyful, but when you think about it, ordinary people, especially people from peasant families, will not wear red clothes on weekdays. Unless you catch up with a happy event, you will hang a red picture for auspiciousness.

And red, for me, is a very sensitive word. In my opinion, on this big night, anyone who wears red for no reason is definitely not an ordinary person, and it will be more or less strange. Who in the ravine would be okay to swagger through the market in red clothes?

I stood still, and said to the huge sea: "You kid can show me, we just arrived in this village, don't have nothing to do, or go to the village first, settle down first." ”

Huge Hai glanced at me: "You grind and chirp, you don't look like an old man." If you don't see it accurately, don't you know if you look at it in the past? I guess he's hiding behind a tree. ”

After saying that, the fat sea swaggered towards the willow tree.

I was robbed by this dead fat man for no reason, I held my breath, but I was helpless, and I hurriedly followed.

It wasn't until I got to the bottom of the willow tree that I really felt that this tree was not ordinarily tall. And when you enter the canopy, the temperature seems to drop by a few degrees in an instant, and a burst of coolness hits.

I looked up and saw that there were many red strips of cloth tied to the branches of this tree. Looking at it, it is dense, there are no less than hundred, it is very happy to look at, but it gives people an inexplicable sense of weirdness.

At this time, the fat sea had already circled the tree twice, with a blank expression.

I asked him, "What about people?" Have it? ”

Fat Dahai scolded: "It's really strange, I obviously saw a figure...... It's not a person, is it...... Ghost? ”

I snapped and hit him: "Don't talk about ghosts at night, you just want to see ghosts like that?" ”

Although I now believe in the doctrine of ghosts and gods. But in an unfamiliar environment, I still have lingering feelings about the word ghost. After all, I'm a fledgling and have no experience fighting ghosts alone.

"It's not a ghost, where is that man?" The fat sea stared at the cow's eyes, puzzled.

"Don't talk." I stopped the fat sea's loud voice and looked up at the willow tree myself.

Although this willow tree grows very large, it must be hugged by three or five people. But I know that the willow tree has no vines, but in the willow tree in front of me, there are many vines the thickness of a child's arm. These tree vines

, wrapped around the tree, spiraling upwards, covering the entire body of the tree.

My heart moved, I don't remember whether I listened to the third uncle or read it from a book. Trees come out of vines, like human bones, with bones, trees have aura, of course, this refers to the kind of trees that have no vines. Looking at the willow tree in front of me, looking at the thickness and the vines all over it, how can it be hundreds of years old. Could it be that this is also a spirit tree?

I reached out and touched a low strip of red cloth.

As a result, Fat Dahai shouted next to him: "Don't move." ”

I looked back in surprise: "What's wrong?" ”

"Big brother, you don't understand this, this person is hanging, you can't move around."

"Why don't I understand? Isn't this the strip of cloth that someone made a wish on this tree? I've seen it in many monasteries. ”

Fat Dahai smiled: "I'll just say you don't understand, right?" The trees in the temple are hung with red cloth strips to make a wish and ask for the blessing of the Buddha. But in this kind of tree in this rural area, hanging red cloth strips is to worship the godmother. ”

"Byeong? Damn, you know everything? ”

Fat Dahai said: "What's this, we all do it over there." I'm not from here, but I guess the customs are pretty much the same. On our side, if there is a tree in the village that is more than 100 years old, it is a treasure. Every family has a child, once there is a minor illness or disaster, the family will bring the child to worship the old tree, worship the tree as a godmother, and ask the old tree to bless the child to grow up healthily. At the same time, a red cloth strip will be hung, and the child's birth date and name will be written, even if it is a godfather. In the future, the tree will bless the child and ward off disasters. ”

"And this thing, it sounds strange, but does it work?" I asked curiously.

Fat Dahai shook his head: "I don't have any children, I don't know." However, my mother said that when I was a child, I also worshipped an old tree in our village. You see how good my body is now, so I think it works. ”

As he spoke, Fat Dahai clenched his fists and thumped his chest.

I stretched out my hand and touched the trunk of the big willow tree, and said, "But I have heard a saying, willows, mulberries, poplars, and elms, and locust trees are not allowed to enter the house." There is also a saying that mulberry is not planted in the front, willows are not planted in the back, and ghosts are not planted in the courtyard to clap their hands. This shows that the willow tree is a kind of yin tree, and the red cloth strip hanging on the yin tree is the yin on the yin, which is not good for the yang house. ”

"What...... What do you mean? What is ghost clapping? Fat Dahai asked curiously.

I smiled: "The poplar tree that the ghost claps his hands refers to." The leaves of the big-leaved poplar, when blown by the wind, are like ghosts clapping their hands, crackling. And willow mulberry poplar elm locust is five kinds of shade trees, so it is not suitable for planting at home. ”

Fat Dahai pouted: "People are at the entrance of the village, and they don't grow at home." ”

I nodded, "I just think this tree is weird." Okay, don't go far, let's go, go directly into the village to find someone. ”

I had just taken two steps with the fat sea, but suddenly my afterglow flashed.

I looked up suspiciously, and saw a red shadow flashing in the canopy.

At first, I thought it was a red strip of cloth, but when I looked closely, I saw that the red thing was much larger than the strip of cloth, and it looked like a red pocket.

The sack hung down from a vine, and it contained a heavy weight

Things, dangling on the vines.

The angle was obscured by the branches, and I took two steps away to see the bag.

I raised my head and stared at the bottom of the bag. There was something special in the bag that was appealing to my desires.

I wanted to turn around and leave, but I couldn't move my steps.

My ears began to ring, and the fat sea seemed to be calling me, but I couldn't hear what he was shouting.

Immediately afterward, my neck tightened, as if something was wrapped around me.

This feeling is like being in Shao Xiaoyao's house, being entangled by the ghost baby with an umbilical cord, panting for breath, but to no avail.
