032, in the backyard of the deserted house

Seeing that the ghost had recovered from the little girl's transformation into its original glowing ball, the bell looked at the seven stars.

"Brother Qixing, there is no clue now, why don't we rest first, and ask the people around tomorrow to see if they know what dead man's trees are nearby."

"Well, it's okay, anyway, the Yin Spirit won't take the initiative to harm people, just rest first, and I'll talk about it early tomorrow morning." Seven Stars nodded in agreement.

Only then did the bell climb into bed again and sleep with Quan Xiaobai as a quilt.

The next morning, the bell got up, jumped out of bed, and went to the foot of the table to look at the glowing ball, only to find that the ghost in the corner was gone.

"Brother Qixing, the ghost is gone, it won't be dissipated, right?"

"It's a ghost that can't see the light, and it should be hidden in the underground or something, and it will only appear at night."

"Oh, let's get out of here, and see if we can meet someone and ask what the 'Dead Man's Tree' is."

After discussing, Qixing returned to the golden bell, and the bell took Quan Xiaobai all the way out of the woods.

Walking under the big tree with a long string of bacon hanging last night, the bell shouted strangely: "That big string of bacon is gone." ”

"It seems that someone took it, there must be someone around here, let's look for it, maybe we can find out where the 'Dead Man's Tree' is." The voice of the seven stars floated from inside the golden bell and suggested to the bell.

Bell took Quan Xiaobai out of the forest to look around, just out of the woods but found an inn not far away. Last night, because it was dark, the bell they didn't continue to walk, otherwise it would be easy to find this inn.

Walking briskly towards the inn, Bell found one of the inn's men working in the kitchen with the large open window, and a piece of bacon cut with a knife on the cutting board. Looking at the big string of bacon hanging next to it, it was the one they found in the woods yesterday, and they knew in their hearts that this must be the bacon smoked by the inn hanging in the forest to dry, and the guy must have gone to take it again in the morning to cut the plate.

Bell and Quan Xiaobai approached the inn slightly, Quan Xiaobai raised his nose and smelled it, this meat tasted peculiar, not like the meat of pigs, cattle and sheep, it was an indescribable taste.

Because these bacon is smoked, yesterday under the tree, the surface of the meat is smoky, so I didn't find anything special, now this bacon is cut, Quan Xiaobai only thinks the taste is very strange, but no matter how you smell it, you can't smell what kind of meat it is.

However, seeing the big kitchen knife in the man's hand, Quan Xiaobai subconsciously hid behind the bell, and the bell had already walked in the direction of the guy who was cutting bacon at the window of the inn, and then walked to the window in front of the guy who was cutting bacon.

"Hello, I'd like to inquire about a place."

The crisp sound of the bell sounded, but the guy was visibly startled. When I looked up, I saw that it was a little girl, and then I saw that there was a white and chubby little boy behind the little girl, just two children, and the guy stabilized his mind.

The guy rolled his eyes and asked with a smile on his face, "Child, why are there only the two of you?" What about your family? ”

Bell turned around and looked at Quan Xiaobai, then shook his head and replied. "My father and mother are gone, just me and my brother."

"Oh, hehe, then you come in and sit, where do you want to inquire?" The guy seemed to be a little more enthusiastic than just now, and asked Bell and Quan Xiaobai to sit down.

Bell didn't enter the house, but chose a table in front of the window of the man's cutting board, stepped on the stool next to him, sat on the table, and asked, "Do you know that there is a tree called the Tree of the Dead near here?" Bell asked as innocently as he could, worried about what was taboo.

The man's face changed a little, but then he recovered: "What are you asking for?" ”

Bell tilted her little head: "I heard that the tree is psychic, and we want to meet the dead father." ”

The guy was happy when he heard it, although I don't know who spread it, but it's better to have such rumors, and it won't be ......

The guy smiled secretly in his heart, and said: "Oh, this place is not easy to find, so let's do it, you two wait for me for a while, I'll go and ask the shopkeeper for a leave, and then I'll take you there." ”

"Really? Thank you then! Bell replied with a small smile like a flower.

The man collected the meat cut from the table, then turned and ran into the inn.

Seeing that the guy left the window, Quan Xiaobai moved to the side of the bell and said to the bell: "Sister bell, there is a problem with that string of bacon." ”

"Huh? What's the problem? Bell looked at the half-cut bacon on the cutting board, then turned to Quan Xiaobai and asked.

"I don't know, I can't smell any kind of meat, it feels weird anyway." Quan Xiaobai said and twitched his little pink nose twice.

"Whatever, let's find the 'Dead Man's Tree' first, and break the little girl's imprisoned things, and then we can hurry, and we have to rush to the Miaozhu River." The bell sat unconcernedly, because the small table was high, dangling his legs in the air, waiting for the guy to come out.

And the fellow hurried into the inn, found the innkeeper and told the bell outside, they found the dead man's tree, and the rumors that the bell said outside. The shopkeeper nodded and said that he understood, and after a few more words of advice, he asked the man to come out.

When the guy came out, he shouted to Bell and Quan Xiaobai, "Let's go, I'll take you to the Dead Man's Tree." ”

Bell and Quan Xiaobai followed the guy towards the depths of the dense forest, and soon, after going around the bell, they came to a place deep in the mountains behind the dense forest.

Behind an old house deep in the mountains, there was a very old tree, the trunk of this tree was vigorous and powerful, and the thick branches, palm-sized leaves, and slightly exposed intertwined roots all proved the age of this tree.

However, the mansion has long been abandoned. Many years ago, there was an accident in this house, and the whole family hanged themselves from this big tree. In the years that followed, many people chose this tree to hang themselves, and afterwards, many unclaimed bodies of the dead were buried under this tree, so slowly, this tree became known as the "Tree of the Dead".

The guy took the bell and Quan Xiaobai around to the back of the house, and before he could get close to the seven stars in the golden bell of the "Dead Man's Tree", he felt an obviously depressed aura, and reminded the bell in a low voice: "Bell, the resentment here is very heavy, you should be careful yourself." ”

The bell whispered back to Qixing, and Quan Xiaobai behind him also grabbed the bell's arm with some fear at this time.

"Sister Bell, I'm scared."

"It's useless." The bell glanced at Quan Xiaobai, but after all, the bell still made up with Quan Xiaobai: "It's okay, let's take a look a little further." The bell said and leaned back to the tree.

At this time, behind Bell and Quan Xiaobai, the innkeeper who brought the two of them over quietly approached Bell and Quan Xiaobai, and raised a knife with silver light towards Bell and Quan Xiaobai.
