The locust tree gathers shade, and there is a ghost boy on the old locust tree, Jiang Hao has seen it since he entered the yard. So he asked back and forth before, "Uncle, there is still a locust tree in your yard, you see that it has been like this for many years, right?" "But everything has cause and effect, and this ghost boy must have a cause and effect with the Li family if he stays in the Li family, so Jiang Hao didn't say anything at that time.

Jiang Hao can see clearly, and Wu Xing and Lu Jia can certainly see it more clearly. But Jiang Hao didn't say it, and the other two people who were very cooperative didn't say anything. So you have to be like this when you look for teammates, you must not specifically tear each other down.

"What are you afraid of if you don't do evil? Why don't you get off people's heads quickly? A big old man talks sissy, and I feel uncomfortable to listen to. Jiang Hao glanced at the top of Li Mancang's head. Among the seven people present, except for Jiang Hao, the three could see a brown and yellow fox sitting on the head of the mancang, and the others could not see it.

"Brother Hao...... Is there really a fox fairy on this mancang? When Li Guzi said this, he deliberately leaned behind Jiang Hao, for fear that this fox fairy would touch him. Uncle Li and his wife didn't dare to speak now, they were not as capable as Jiang Hao, and they also squeezed to Jiang Hao's side.

The fox arched his back and jumped down from the top of Li Mancang's head, his slender eyes frequently looking at Lu Jia holding his cub in his arms. Seeing its appearance, Jiang Hao said again, "Don't worry, I will protect your family's life." I don't want to talk about other merits, but I keep my promises. ”

After hearing this, the fox stood up like a human being, arched his paws and waved to Jiang Hao: "Thank you for not hurting my child." ”

"Alright, don't do this. I don't know what you're thinking? Let's talk about the girl on the tree first. Jiang Hao waved his hand twice, meaning don't bow down, hurry up. Lu Jia looked fresh, and her eyes blinked. She wanted to touch the fox on the ground, but after the fox bared her teeth, she immediately realized that there were two unprovoked gods next to her, so she was very reluctant to be touched by this little girl like a dog.

"It's quite crowded inside this warehouse, let's go outside, shall we?" Uncle Li cautiously looked at Jiang Hao's face and proposed. Now there are seven people in the warehouse, Jiang Hao is in a group of three, Uncle Li and the old two, and Li Guzi and Li Mancang are added. It does seem that the warehouse is crowded.

Uncle Li and his wife followed Jiang Hao to the bottom of the locust tree, and Li Guzi, as the intermediary introducer, also had to follow. Li Mancang heard them say that the ghost boy on the tree, and he was worried about the safety of the fox.

Jiang Hao's group of three could all see a little girl of five or six years old dressed in flower clothes sitting under the dense leaves of the big locust tree in broad daylight. The little girl combed her bangs and tied two small braids, her elbows against her knees, her hands on her cheeks, and her legs swinging around. A pair of big round eyes blinked at the group of people under the tree,

"Did you have a little girl in your family before?" Jiang Hao looked at this girl, with thick black eyebrows, and Li Mancang had a few looks, so he tried to guess.

"Yes...... Over one. Aunt Li stammered, her face was gloomy and sad when she talked about this; And Uncle Li was shocked.

Aunt Li said that Li Mancang did have a younger sister, called Manman. Li Mancang is nine years older than Manman, and Manman likes his brother very much since he was a child, and he sticks to his brother every day. Almost my brother left after school, so he followed. Li Mancang also likes this sister very much, and almost responds to requests. I often get a lot of scolding because of this.

When Li Manman was five years old, in the spring of that year, the old locust tree was full of flowers and beautiful. There is a kind of food in the village that is suitable for all ages, which is to wrap the locust flowers in flour to make soup noodles, and Xiao Manman loves to eat them very much. On this day, Li Mancang came home from school, Xiao Manman pulled his brother and pointed to the locust flowers on the tree and said that he wanted to eat locust noodles, and his brother doted on his sister almost better than his parents, so he immediately threw away his schoolbag and climbed to the tree to pick locust flowers for his sister.

Xiao Manman waited under the tree for a long time, and his brother didn't get down from the tree, so he was in a hurry to go up. At first, Li Mancang said that children couldn't come up, but his sister cried and insisted on going up with her brother. Li Mancang was reluctant to cry his sister.

The old locust tree has never been pruned, and the branches branched out from the main trunk have grown to the roof of the west wing. The wing room was originally shorter than the main room, and Li Mancang pulled his sister to easily climb the roof of the west wing along the ladder under the eaves, and then climbed from the roof to the locust tree.

The two children, one older and one younger, sat on the locust tree and began to pick locust flowers. Xiao Man giggled happily. The elder brother repeatedly told his sister, "You have to hold on to the branches, don't fall down." Then he quickly continued to pick locust flowers for his sister.

Xiao Man said "yes" while being attracted by a fiery red butterfly flying among the acacia flowers, and she wanted to catch it. Xiao Manman patronized and caught butterflies, forgetting that it was not the ground but the branches under his feet. From sitting on the tree to falling down, the whole process is just a short time.

Li Mancang felt the branches under his feet shake for a while, and went to pull his sister's hand, but he didn't have time, he saw his sister fall headfirst down, and fell under the corner of the west wing, on top of the pile of bricks left behind after the repair of the wing. The blood on his head flowed to the red bricks and seeped into the dirt on the ground. The full age has been fixed forever at the age of five.

"How can butterflies be fiery red? It is the child's eyes that see evil things... No, it's me! I'm a mother, I don't take a good look at my child, I'm sorry for this child... Foxes, it's foxes, it's a scourge to our family..."Aunt Li had broken down when she told the story of that child, and she couldn't stop crying.

This past of more than 20 years ago once again opened the old scars in her heart. Seeing Aunt Li crying so sadly, the girl on the tree also suddenly cried, wiping her tearless eyes with the back of her hand, and when she was full of crying, the whole locust tree was shaking, and the leaves were rustling; The fox sitting on the ground was also wiping his tears with his paws.

"Your girl hasn't left, she's been on this locust tree." After listening to Jiang Hao's words, Aunt Li stopped crying and asked urgently, "Really?" Is my poor child really here? ”

"Really." Jiang Hao said.

Aunt Li looked at Lu Jia and Wu Xing with a pleading and eager look. Lu Jia hesitated for a moment and said, "She... He wore two braids and a floral dress. Wu Xing nodded.

Aunt Li'er's whole body trembled after hearing this. Of course, she remembered that Manman had two braids and was wearing a floral dress when the accident happened. She looked at Jiang Hao with pleading eyes, "Master, is there any way you can let me see it too?" This has been a disease in my heart for so many years, and I'm sorry for this child......"

"Girl, will you try?" Jiang Hao said to Lu Jia.

"Try it...... Master, she doesn't have an eye in the sky, how can I try it? ”

"You concentrate on controlling your mind and transmitting what you see in front of you to her." Jiang Hao briefly said the essentials.

After listening to the master's words, Lu Jia looked down at the fox cubs he was holding, and then looked at the people around him who felt that none of them were reliable, and finally decided to put these little fox cubs in the master's arms. Then she tightened one of Aunt Li's hands, closed her eyes and concentrated her thoughts as the master said.

After a few attempts, the initial nervousness gradually froze, and then a vague humanoid light appeared in front of her eyes. The master had told her before that this body of light was the soul of a person, and if the body of light was dim, people would be worried about their lives. Although Aunt Li's soul in front of her was not completely bright, it was not dim either. She consciously guided the image of the little girl she had just seen into the light body, and then slowly opened her eyes.

As soon as Aunt Li'er saw the appearance of the child, she broke free of Lu Jia's hand and pounced on the locust tree, she reached to touch the place where she saw the child's legs hanging down just now, but now it was empty, and she couldn't touch anything. Helplessly, she hugged the locust tree and cried out heartbreakingly: "My child! ”

Lu Jia was at a loss for a while, she was not good at words, and she didn't know how to comfort Aunt Li at the moment, she only knew that it was painful for a mother to lose her child, more than 20 years, maybe Aunt Li was vague about the appearance of the land, but she did not forget that she had lost a daughter.

"All things have spirits, and you people are so painful to lose their children, but have you ever thought of how painful it is for us to see our loved ones stripped of their flesh?" The fox said in a mournful voice.
