Chapter 59: The Man-Eating Tree
But no one could see how the trees moved.
At this moment, they were surrounded by black trees, and they lost their way like travelers lost in the forest.
One by one, they stopped, looking around in disbelief.
Soon, they realized that there was nothing in their sight but the trees.
They couldn't see each other, and everyone was all scattered.
"Feng Chunqing! Zhong Huang! Tu Xue'er! ”
Ding Xizhu panicked and shouted desperately.
But in response to him, there was only his own echo. Echoes that shouldn't have been in the woods.
Whew......
Behind him, the leaves were shaking.
Ding Xizhu turned around sharply and vaguely saw a black figure passing through the trees.
"Who?"
He shouted without thinking.
There was a sound of branches being trampled off.
Ding Xizhu's hairs suddenly stood on end. He knew that if it was Feng Chunqing and the others, it would be impossible not to answer him.
His breathing became heavy, and fear welled up in his heart.
Elongated faces flickered in front of his eyes, and dark eyes stared at him as if they were looking at delicious food.
Ding Xizhu felt a burst of creepy.
"Don't look at me! Don't look at me! ”
He shouted unconsciously.
Rustle rustle......
Trees were moving, approaching him.
Run!
Ding Xizhu finally remembered what he had to do. He turned his head to look around, then ran in the opposite direction to what he remembered from the woods.
However, as soon as he took a step, he was tightly wrapped around his neck by two "arms".
He subconsciously wanted to break the two "arms" with his hands, but found that they were not arms at all, but branches.
"Ahhh!!h
Just as he was terrified, his feet left the ground.
The force of the branch was so great that it grabbed him into the air, then forced him to cling to the trunk of a tree.
The trunk of the tree seemed to be covered with a layer of slime, slippery and sticky. Ding Xizhu screamed in horror and struggled desperately.
An eerie sound of slime churning sounded.
Ding Xizhu didn't move all of a sudden, only his two eyes were still rolling.
He wanted to turn back, but he didn't dare.
A sticky chill came from his back, sending chills down his body. He shuddered, his mouth wide open, but he couldn't make a sound.
A sharp pain burst through his back, and he let out a scream. He felt his back rot.
Coo-goo-goo......
The weird sounds are getting louder and louder, and the pain in my back is getting stronger.
"Ahhh!!!hhh
The pain was so intense that he let out a miserable cry that he couldn't suppress.
He knew he was being swallowed by the tree.
Eventually, he turned into a puddle of cloudy liquid and vanished.

Gu Yangbai stumbled down the hill and casually stopped a taxi and drove in the direction of his home.
The home he hadn't been back to for a whole month.
His wife is at home. He didn't want to see her.
He has been using the excuse that he is busy with work and can't spare time to go home, and later said that he was going on a business trip, packed some clothes and necessities into his suitcase and took them out, and went to live in a hotel by himself.
It was eerily quiet in the taxi. I don't know if it was affected by this strange phenomenon or if it was such a personality, the driver didn't say a word to Gu Yangbai.
However, Gu Yangbai didn't have the heart to think about these things right now. The strange phenomenon that the sun did not rise, coupled with the extreme anxiety that his wife might be at home, had completely filled his heart.
It's good that the woman is dead.
Thinking of his wife, Gu Yangbai couldn't help but say to himself in his heart.
His brows tightened, and he didn't feel guilty at all because he thought of such a sentence.
The fact is also that he has long wished that his wife was dead, and the more miserable the better.
That woman took away my life's happiness and left me in the mire. I have nothing but hatred for her.
Gu Yang thought fiercely.
It was pitch black outside the window, and only the silhouettes of buildings and trees in the distance could be faintly felt.
His wife's name is Guan Jinghua, and she was originally a fan of his books.
Once, Gu Yangbai occupied a place in the literary world with several cleverly conceived and outstandingly written short stories. Because he himself is quite elegant and handsome, it didn't take long for him to accumulate a lot of popularity, and he became a strong new star in the literary world, and his fans were mostly young women.
Guan Jinghua is one of them.
She is not outstanding in appearance, her economic strength is average, and her fashion sense is impossible to talk about. It can be said that as a woman, she is unattractive. Anyone walking on the road won't give her a second look.
Before Gu Yangbai became famous, he had a childhood girlfriend named Li Jiali.
Seeing that her boyfriend has become popular and a celebrity, Carrie Li is happy from the bottom of her heart.
However, with the growth of popularity, Gu Yangbai gradually became bored with his girlfriend and thought that she was not worthy of him. He wanted to get rid of her.
At first, he also considered the relationship between the two for many years, and kept thinking about how to propose a breakup so as not to hurt Carrie Li.
However, as the days passed, he became more and more disgusted with Carrie. Every greeting she made, every word of concern, every dish she cooked with her own hands, made him feel sick.
His negative emotions grew day by day, and the thought of "how not to hurt Carrie" was put behind him and replaced by hiding.
He didn't even bother to break up with her. He didn't want to see her. Don't want to think of her.
For Gu Yangbai, Li Jiali's existence itself is a kind of torture, like a fish in the throat.
He wanted her to disappear.
At this time, Guan Jinghua appeared.
She said, I can help you.
Gu Yangbai's heart trembled, and his face became gloomy. He didn't understand what Guan Jinghua meant.
Guan Jinghua seemed to guess his thoughts, and continued: "Your girlfriend is no longer worthy of you. You deserve a better partner. ”
"Better? Who? You? ”
Gu Yangbai deliberately put on a mocking look to hide the panic in his heart and the faint expectation.
"Of course it's not me," Guan Jinghua said, "with your fame and appearance, you can find a female star, a rich daughter, or even a foreign aristocratic woman." I'm just a fan of yours and won't have any extravagant expectations. I want to help you because for me, helping you is my greatest pleasure. ”
Gu Yangbai's expression moved. His heart was moved.
Of course, it is not for Guan Jinghua, but for the possibility of getting rid of Li Jiali.
"You can lie that I'm your distant relative, invite your girlfriend and me, and the three of us have a meal together. You'll have to cook it yourself. I'm going to eat a roast leg of lamb. ”
Listening to Guan Jinghua's words, Gu Yangbai frowned again.
He couldn't figure out what kind of medicine was sold in this woman's gourd.
Subsequently, Guan Jinghua said her arrangements in detail.
Gradually, the tragic situation of Li Jiali's corpse surfaced in Gu Yangbai's mind.
The corners of Gu Yangbai's mouth turned upward, revealing a brilliant smile to Guan Jinghua.
