I ran to the hut in three steps and two steps, and rummaged through the cabinets to find it.

There was a lot of mess in the room, and just when I was on the verge of despair, I saw a book in a cookie box.

It's an old-fashioned thread-bound book, with no name on the cover, and the color of the pages has turned yellow, and it looks like it's been some years old.

Quickly opened it and looked, and sure enough, there were a lot of strange things recorded in this book.

I didn't have the heart to look at them one by one, so I hurriedly flipped through them, and finally found a recipe called "raising ghouls". The above is roughly how to raise ghouls with a shade tree.

It turned out that the little baby was a ghoul.

I saw that the last sentence of this section reads: The ghoul can take away the sacrifice of others, and borrow the rebirth of others. If the tree breaks its roots, the ghouls are destroyed.

I often read ancient books, and the meaning of these two sentences probably means that after this ghoul is fully refined, it can take the body of a living person and resurrect it. And if the tree where he is hiding is destroyed, the ghoul will be gone.

I see, only by destroying that tree can the ghoul be completely eliminated.

I put the book in my pocket and ran back to the tree.

At this time, several people in the crew had already arrived. They were terrified when they saw Lao Zhang on the ground.

I shouted, "Don't even touch him!" ”

Director Zheng asked me, "Hey, who is that, what happened?" ”

I don't have time to pay attention to him, it's important to save people. Maybe Lao Zhang can still be saved.

"Find someone to help me cut down the trees, quick!" As I spoke, I swung my shovel and slashed under the tree.

"What are you doing, crazy about you? What the hell is wrong with Shuhai, are you talking? Director Zheng also asked vigorously.

I was anxious and yelled: "Don't talk nonsense, hurry up and help me cut down the tree!" If it is delayed any longer, Lao Zhang will really be hopeless! ”

Director Zheng was startled, stunned for a few seconds, and then picked up the shovel dropped by Lao Zhang on the ground and began to dig with me.

"You guys, hurry up and find the guys, planing the trees!"

Director Zheng gave an order, and several other people hurried back to copy the guy. It was not a lot of work, six or seven people had shovels, iron rods, and even a shovel for stir-frying vegetables in the old villager's house.

Everyone slashed at the roots of the tree, and soon, the tangled roots of the big mulberry tree were exposed.

The crowd was stunned, they had probably never seen a tree with such a well-developed root system.

What's more, at this time, the roots of these trees are filled with red liquid, and they are still flowing slowly. Under the hazy moonlight, it was very strange.

Director Zheng looked at me with wide eyes and stammered, "This, this is ......"

"Yes, it's a blood-sucking tree, let's plane it!" I yelled and urged.

"This, there are so many roots here, how can you plan?" Said the person next to him.

"Shovel them one by one!" As I spoke, I swung my shovel and slashed hard at one of the wrist-thick roots.

With a "click", the roots of the tree snapped, and a stream of blood spurted out. The root of the tree seemed to feel pain, and twitched a few times like a snake cut off by the waist, and then stopped moving.

The strange scene in front of him stunned those present. Even I, who had been mentally prepared, felt that my scalp was numb.

"Quick, don't be stunned, hurry up!" I shouted again.

Only then did a few people come back to their senses, and quickly followed my example and slashed at the roots of the tree with the tools in their respective hands, slashing and smashing hard.

We didn't know how long we had been busy, but the big pit under the tree had been dug out by us almost two meters deep, and most of the roots of the tree had been cut off, and the soil around the pit had been dyed dark red.

Seeing that it was almost over, I beckoned everyone to gather on the side of the tree, I shouted, "One, two, three", and everyone pushed the tree hard.

"Push hard!" "Keep it up!" Everyone was pushing and shouting.

There is a saying that "the tree is big and the roots are deep", even if most of the roots are cut off, this tree vampire tree is not something that can be pushed all at once.

Tossed for half an hour, and for the last time, everyone riveted their strength and exerted their strength to feed. Finally, the old tree, which had harbored too many sins, fell to the ground.

At that moment, I heard a terrible hissing over the canopy, and then there was no movement. I think the baby ghoul is gone this time.

At the same time, Lao Zhang, who was lying on the ground on the side, exhaled a deep breath of turbidity and hummed twice.

I hurriedly ran to him, gently helped him up, and said, "Director Zhang, Director Zhang, wake up!" ”

Lao Zhang slowly opened his eyes, looked at me, and then looked at the big mulberry tree that fell to the ground next to him, and smiled weakly.

Director Zheng also came over and helped me support Lao Zhang. He asked me, "What's your name?" ”

"Peace. That, Director Zheng, just ...... Excuse me! Then I remembered my rudeness just now, and I was a little frightened.

Director Zheng waved his hand and said, "It's okay, it's okay." Oh, peace, what the hell is going on? ”

I looked at him, and then at Lao Zhang. The latter nodded.

I'm just going to tell you a little bit about it. When he heard that the initiator of all this turned out to be the village chief, Lao Zhang's face turned red.

"Where is he? Don't let him run! Lao Zheng also said.

"Don't worry, I'm afraid I won't be able to take care of myself for the rest of my life."

After a while, the police came. It's still the captain who came the day before. Again, I'll tell you what it is.

The captain was suspicious, and while controlling the village chief, he hurriedly arranged for someone to go to the well to fish.

When the police officers fished up eleven corpses from the bottom of the well one after another, the captain, who had been unfazed, was also stunned.

This is a shocking case, and the captain called for support again, otherwise there would be no way to transport back so many corpses.

This time, the police car not only took away the village chief, but also took me and Lao Zhang away to the police force in the town to make a record.

At the police station, I told the story again.

At this time, a small policeman walked in and whispered a few words in the captain's ear. The captain nodded, and the little cop went out.

The captain said to me, "He was all gone, and confessed to killing the eleven." But the three corpses that were fished up before, he didn't recognize them alive or dead. ”

I looked at the sheriff and said, "Actually, maybe he didn't kill those three people." ”

"Who's that? Could it really be sudden cardiac death and a stumble into the water? ”

I almost didn't laugh - it's a matter of whether you gave it or not!

"Captain, if I tell you that those three people were killed by unjust souls at the bottom of the well, can you accept it?"

After hearing this, the captain nodded thoughtfully, then sighed and said, "Then let's maintain the previous conclusion!" ”

In the afternoon, Lao Zhang and I came out of the police force. Lao Zhang put his arm around my shoulders and said, "Ping'an, you saved my life this time, I won't say much about thanks, I will remember it for a lifetime." ”

I said honestly: "Don't, Director Zhang......"

"When no one is in the future, call me Lao Zhang, don't be so foreign!"

"W-isn't this okay?"

He waved his hand and said, "Let's have a New Year's friend!" ”
