Each of the ghosts' faces showed a look of hunger and thirst, and from their hands to feet they looked like dove-shaped hoofs, as if they hadn't eaten food for hundreds of years, and their saliva almost fell on their collars. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

The paralyzed face in the crowd looked the same as them, looking at the old yellow horse that had fallen to the ground, and his stomach kept growling. His unique feature is that there is a black mole on his chin, which is very conspicuous, but just because of the mole on his face, it gives people the impression of a thief's eyebrows.

"Ahh Come and help Ben-sama, do you have all eyes on the dog's legs? The young man in the battle robe was lying on the ground, his clothes were hanging between the branches of the tree, his face was already blue and swollen, he tried to stand up desperately, but the trunk of the tree stuck his whole body firmly in the gap.

When the paralyzed face ghost heard this, his heart suddenly shook, and he immediately shifted his gaze to the people around him, pointed at them and said angrily, "Are you deaf? Hurry up! ”

And the rest of the ghosts, although they agreed, but no one dared to step forward to help him up, and one by one their trembling bodies stood in place, with a few pairs of hesitant steps, helpless.

"Go ahead, what are you doing?"

When everyone heard this, countless pairs of eyes locked on the thin body under the big tree, and their faces became even more flustered and delayed. One person couldn't help but say: "Adults, the little ones don't dare, I'm afraid that there will be no return!" ”

At this time, the big tree seemed to be alive, as if it had a strange life, the gap between the branches became tighter and tighter, and the young man in the battle robe was already blackened, dying, and unable to say a word.

This scene shocked everyone present, and their voices inadvertently let out exclamations, and some of them even trembled in their legs, and even the torches in their hands were almost unstable.

"Go quickly, I am raising you on weekdays, letting you eat and drink spicy food, and when you are used, you look at your cowardice." The paralyzed face couldn't help but raise his leg and kick one of the people in front of him fiercely, hinting at him to rush forward and save the young man in the battle robe from the tree.

It turned out that these ghosts were not afraid of their superiors, but afraid of the big tree in front of them, this big tree looked very strangely shaped, from a distance it did not look like a big tree towering in the jungle at all, but more like a huge mysterious old man standing on the grass with his back straight.

When the young man in the battle robe fell from his horse before, his body just threw himself into the gap of this big tree, and this drill into it was like being planted in an ice cave, and he couldn't get out. And his face was already red at this time, his eyes were black, his whole body was cold, and his life was hanging by a thread.

At this moment, the sky was getting darker and darker, and the moonlight was covered by the black clouds in the sky. There was only a faint glimmer of fire on the narrow pier, and all the ghosts who met him turned blue with fear.

Seeing that the situation was getting worse and worse, the paralyzed face ghost turned his head to look around, and shouted to the people under his hands: "Quick, you all give me up, if you don't move forward, I'll try to ask you, and go up together and cut down the tree spirit for me." ”

The ghosts in tattered clothes all nodded, raised the rusty long sword in their hands, and reluctantly rushed forward, but as soon as they took a few steps, they were all frozen into ice by a magical magic of the big tree.

The ghost who rushed to the back suddenly felt that his body was very cold, so he had to retreat helplessly, one by one embarrassed like a mouse.

"Let me go, I'll save him!"

A sharp voice suddenly sounded in the crowd, and this person was He Wei, who had just been escorted over. When the ghosts heard this, they all looked back at him, and several of the ghosts beside him were also taken aback.

"What? Let you go? You're going to save him? The paralyzed-faced ghost gave him a vague glance from the crowd under the light of the torch.

"Yes, let me go, I'll save your boss, I can save him." He Wei stepped forward, but unfortunately was intercepted by the ghost next to him.

"Okay, then you go, don't blame me for not reminding you." The paralyzed-faced ghost almost waved his hand, motioning for them to untie He Wei.

After He Wei was released, he immediately walked up from the crowd. The ghosts all took the initiative to open a gap for him, and the paralyzed face of the ghost was even more surprised, maybe he didn't think that this person was so bold.

He Wei stepped forward with his head held high, stared at the big tree carefully for a while, and then shifted his gaze to the body of the young man in the battle robe, whose body was as stiff as a scarecrow. He walked all the way to the uncle, and said, "I know you are alive, I know you can speak, can we have a good talk?" ”

As He Wei expected, the big tree really spoke, but the voice was very mellow, like the voice of an old man who was nearly 100 years old, and this voice did not come from the big tree, but from the body of the young man in the battle robe stuck on the branch.

The voice of the young man in the battle robe changed suddenly, his eyes widened, and he opened his mouth and said: "You stupid, ignorant, lonely souls and wild ghosts, run for your life quickly, I have accepted this life, if you are obsessed, you will die here one by one, hum!" Hahahahaha......ha

When everyone heard such a frightened voice, their foreheads turned blue with fright, and they all took a step back. But He Wei stood still at all, without a trace of fear, he patted his chest confidently and gently said to the big tree: "Why should I be afraid of you? I'm neither a human nor a ghost, I'm just a grudge, I can die here today, but you may not be able to live. ”

"Humph! It's stupid, am I human? I'm not a ghost, I don't need to be afraid of you, I have to eat him today, if you want to try it too, then come on. ”

"Maybe we can make a pact? There's no need to be rude, don't you want that? ”

"Haha, ridiculous, he wanted to arrest you and put you in prison before, but now you want to save him, what a kind heart, but this heart may become a poison in your heart."

"Then let it poison me, I won't give up anyway."

The tree suddenly stopped talking, and it seemed to be silent, as if it was hesitating. After about three minutes, the dark clouds in the sky suddenly dispersed, and the moonlight stood out from the clouds, and the dazzling light once again shone on the quiet dock.

The tree, which looked to be a hundred years old, withered in an instant, and the leaves on the tree turned dull yellow. The solidified ice also melted into water droplets in an instant, and the gaps between the branches were loosened, and the young man in the battle robe suddenly fell from the tree and fell to the ground.

Seeing that the situation had changed a lot in an instant, everyone rushed to the bottom of the big tree one by one and lifted the young man in battle robe up from the ground. But the young man in the battle robe was extremely pale, and his body was cold, looking like a stiff corpse.

The paralyzed-faced ghost was the first to rush into the crowd and said to the young man in the battle robe lying on the ground, "Oh, my lord, are you okay?" ”

The young man in the battle robe didn't speak, lying on the ground with his eyes closed, not even the sound of his breathing.

He Wei on the side also quickly rushed up, looked down at the young man in battle robe, and said, "It's okay, right?" Do you want to send it to the doctor? ”

"There's no need to do anything more, he's dead." The paralyzed face ghost slowly stood up from the ground, his complexion changed, he squinted at He Wei, and said, "Someone!" Arrest this murderer for me and take him back to prison. ”

He Wei suddenly panicked, his eyes widened, and he said, "Hey, are you mistaken, I just saved you, and you still arrested me." ”

The paralyzed face suddenly laughed and said, "Hahaha, I'm just going to arrest you, what can you do with me?" You dare to talk back to me, I think it's really enough. ”

"How can you do that? If it weren't for me just now, you would have died here, and if you don't thank you, you still want to hurt me. ”

"What? You saved us? You've only said two rounds, and I didn't see you saving us, huh? The paralyzed face turned his head and said to his men, "Quick, take this prisoner for me." ”

The ghosts faced He Wei, took out a rope from their hands, and tied He Wei up.

The old yellow horse that died on the ground was also unloaded into eight pieces by the ghosts, and each of them picked up a small piece and wrapped it in a cloth bag.

He Wei didn't continue to speak, just lowered his head, he knew very well in his heart that the person in front of him must be a complete scoundrel.

Soon after, the ghosts escorted He Wei back to the palace on foot, because the sky was getting darker and darker, there were many fewer pedestrians on the streets of the city, except for some beggars asking for food, there were some wild dogs wandering everywhere.

Before coming to the yafu, there were two ghosts standing guard in front of the door, holding long swords in their hands, and their clothes were very similar to those ghosts before, almost all of them were in tatters, and there was not much difference from the beggars I met on the street before.

And this yafu looks like a thatched house, if there is no plaque on it, I think it is a poor family's house, and the surrounding buildings are also very poor, almost all of them are thatched houses.

The ghosts escorted He Wei to the prison and waited until the next morning.

He Wei didn't eat anything that night, and he was the only one in the prison, and the cages around him were empty, and the silence was terrifying.

After the ghost sent in, he directly escorted He Wei to the lobby and came to the lobby.

But there was no one in the hall, but there were a lot of ghosts around him, and each one looked listless, with a yellow face and thin muscles, as if he hadn't eaten for a long time.

He Wei was very curious, so he asked, "What are you going to do?" There's no one here, and you don't speak, what's the matter? ”

A kind-hearted ghost messenger came out and told him: "We are waiting for the new Yan Judge to arrive, isn't the previous Yan Judge already dead, so a new official has been appointed above." ”

"And what about that paralyzed face yesterday?"

"What facial paralysis? Who are you talking about? ”

"It's the guy who arrested me yesterday for no reason, and he doesn't look like a good person."

"Ouch, you be quiet, what a thief, that's our head, we listen to him for everything."

"Oh, I see."

He Wei set his eyes on the ghosts around him, and found that their clothes were quite tattered, the swords in their hands were about to rust into a pile of scrap iron, and even the cotton was almost cut off, but it was still in use, the more he looked at it, the more curious he felt, so he couldn't help but continue to ask: "What's wrong with you?" Haven't you eaten in a long time, and are the errands here so poor? It's not as good as those beggars on the street. ”

The kind-hearted ghost cha said, "Hehe, we are much better than the beggars on the street, they don't even have steamed buns, but we have one every day, and we are already living in a sweet dream." ”

He Wei smiled again and replied: "When I first entered the city, I saw that the pedestrians passing by on the street were also dressed very plainly, but compared to you, it was more than a little better, are you sure that this kind of life is what you want?" ”

The ghost said: "There is no way, I was just an ordinary person, but I didn't expect to be arrested a few days ago and taken back to prison, they asked me, either death or an errand, let me choose by myself, I have no choice, in order to survive, I can only agree to them." ”

"What? And this kind of ridiculous thing, it sounds a bit like catching a strong man, haha. He Wei couldn't help but bow his head and smile again.

"That's right, these three words are really apt, that is, to catch the strong man." Onicha lowered his head and sighed, and threw the long sword in his hand to the ground.

"Why are you throwing him?" He Wei asked.

"It's just a handful of scrap metal, in fact, it makes no difference whether you take it or not."

As soon as these words fell, all the demons standing around threw their long swords to the ground, and some of them were holding not swords, but a wooden stick, which they only sharpened and carried on their bodies, using them as sharp weapons.

They all complained one after another: "Hey, what are you doing with this thing, it's heavy and heavy, it's better to bring a burning stick, it's really exhausting." ”

He Wei suddenly felt that these people were easier to talk to, and they were not like the person he thought in his heart, putting on a lofty attitude. He tentatively asked one of the skinny ghosts, and said, "Hehe, big brother, were you an ordinary person before?" ”

When the thin ghost heard this, he slowly glanced at him with a surprised face, and said in a low voice, "Are you talking to me?" ”

"Of course I'm talking to you, quietly scaring you, haha." He Wei tried to approach him and said something very easy-going.

But the skinny ghost looked even more frightened, looked left and right, as if he was worried about something, and immediately whispered to him: "Hey, don't talk to me, okay?" ”
