Under the withered giant tree, there were many large and small potholes, which were uneven inside and out, and a long and wide arc line was formed between the holes, densely packed into a pot of porridge. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

The female beggar stepped into the fluffy grass with her legs open, and from her sleeve slipped out a bright circular package, which seemed to be filled with countless fireflies, illuminating every inch of grass in front of her.

The beggar walked to one of the pits, crouched down, illuminated the bright package in her hand on the earth, and carefully observed what was going on in the pit.

But she didn't find anything strange, just the smell of a stinky corpse in her nose, like a long-dead torso buried in the ground.

When she squinted, she subconsciously found that the huge plane tree in front of her was growing taller and taller, stronger and stronger, and blooming extremely densely, which was a big difference compared to before.

Although the tree made strange noises from time to time, the female beggar did not care, and her face remained calm despite any wind and grass around her.

Suddenly, a bloody palm stretched out from the charred hole, and the arm kept expanding outward, spreading rapidly to all sides.

The female beggar twisted her neck down very slowly, and her whole attention was focused on the palm, which looked pale and terrifying. It's like a wildflower full of spirituality.

A series of cries for help suddenly came out of the pit: "Help me...... Help me!!! ”

When the beggar heard this, she hurriedly stretched out her hand and cut the soft earth out of the narrow cave with her fingernails and fingers. The deeper she dug down, the deeper she felt the hole became, like a bottomless nest.

But the miserable cry for help kept coming from her ears, and the voice became weaker and weaker, getting smaller and smaller each time. Its cries for help were barely audible after a few minutes.

The female beggar's face was still very calm, and she continued to dig the hole in all directions, until it was three feet deep. In an inconspicuous corner, she suddenly spotted a straw sandal, revealing half of it stuck in the dirt.

The female beggar stretched out her hand and pulled out the straw sandal, took it to her eyes and looked at it carefully, and found that the shoe was stained with a lot of blood, and it was very cold in her hand, like a piece of ice.

"Save ...... Save me! ”

This time the miserable sound felt right in front of her, and the female beggar threw the package in her hand aside, and kept digging under the cave with both hands, about a few centimeters down, and suddenly felt her palm touch a layer of hard erection, like a rock.

She lifted the dirt that covered it, and found a layer of black wooden planks in front of her, and when she knocked on it, she could hear the echo from below, like a hollow slab.

The beggar immediately ran to the side, picked up a stone from the ground, and when she returned, she grabbed it and kept smashing it at the plank, but no matter how much she struck, there was still not the slightest crack, like a rock, indestructible.

The voice came from under the wooden plank again, this time it was clearly a man's voice, the voice was almost hoarse, and the intermittent cries for help came from below.

As soon as the man's voice fell, the giant tree on the side opened up a foot higher in an instant, and the dense vines continued to spread in all directions, but the female beggar did not notice it.

Her hands were already covered with scars, her nails were red with blood, and the back of her hands was covered with remnants of yellow dirt. But like a wild wolf that has gone mad, she gritted her teeth and desperately threw away the dirt piled up in the cave with her hands.

Ten minutes later, the moonlight shone on the charred earth, and as the light grew brighter and brighter, the beggar slowly saw the situation inside, and suddenly realized that what she had touched with her hand was not a wooden board at all, but a black coffin.

The miserable cry for help came from this coffin, but this time, the voice never came again, and it fell asleep like withered grass.

The beggar slowly held her breath and slowly lifted the lid of the long, narrow coffin, gradually observing the situation inside as the gap between the two sides of the coffin grew larger and wider.

In this coffin lay a yellow-faced and thin young man, his face was as if he had been smeared with a layer of lard, white and red, and there was no sign of life at all, and his entire torso was standing upright and sleeping in the coffin.

When the female beggar saw this scene, she felt a little uncomfortable in her heart, and felt that she was about to run out of breath. She kept thinking about whether the sound she had heard in her ears before had come from this corpse, and if so, she must have encountered something unclean. Because the boy looked like a withered mummy, and he had been dead for an unknown number of days and nights.

At this moment, countless palms stretched out from the large and small craters around her, constantly approaching the direction of the female beggar, and the strange cry like a fly lingered in her ears.

The female beggar was finally frightened at this time, and immediately stood up from the ground with a "whoosh". Turning around, he didn't look back, and sped away in the direction he came from.

But this time she escaped smoothly, and she didn't feel any strange objects chasing after her, and she didn't feel anything wrong with her body. When she turned around and stopped looking, the palm she had seen before suddenly disappeared.

The tree is still the same tree, the grass is the same grass, and there is no wind and grass nearby. The air around them was as if it had condensed, and there was no sound.

But the beggar did not go back again, but walked back to the town in the opposite direction, and she kept walking forward until she felt someone following her, and there were bits and pieces of footsteps behind her, but when she turned back, it was empty.

Since there is no watch or phone in this new world to check the current time period at all times, she can only judge the approximate time difference by the direction of the moon's movement.

The female beggar had been walking into the town, and when she was about to enter the city, two patrolling onicha standing in front of the city gate suddenly intercepted her.

A ghost messenger stepped forward and asked, "What is the basket in your hand?" ”

The female beggar replied, "It's steamed buns." ”

The ghost didn't believe it, so she asked the female beggar to open it and take a look, and she opened it without hesitation. When she opened it, it was indeed a steamed bun with white flowers, and it was large and round.

Seeing that the clothes she was wearing didn't look like a wealthy family, the ghost deliberately asked: "It's okay to enter the city, but you have to charge two steamed buns as a toll." ”

The female beggar didn't hesitate, didn't say a word, and directly reached out and took out two steamed buns for him.

After the ghost cha took the steamed bun, he felt that this person looked stupid and honest, so he pretended to be a condescending attitude and said with a smile: "No, no, two can't, you have to add two before you can enter the city." ”

As soon as the ghost said this, the female beggar quickly took out two steamed buns from the basket and handed them to the ghost very happily. When the ghost saw it, he was so shocked that his snot was about to come out.

After the other ghost saw it, his eyes were red, and he put on a swaggering appearance, swaggered over, patted his chest gently, and said, "What about the four of me?" Won't you give it to him? ”

The female beggar looked at him expressionlessly, without saying a word, just looked down at the basket in her hand, took out four steamed buns from it, and handed them to another ghost.

After the two ghosts got four steamed buns, they seemed to be a little dissatisfied, so they deliberately blocked in front of her, looking for fault: "Where are you going so sneaky?" Were these steamed buns stolen from outside? You don't look like a rich man when you dress up. ”

At this time, the female beggar had no choice but to speak: "It was not stolen, it was given to me by an old mother." ”

One of the ghosts suddenly stood there and laughed, shouting with tears in his eyes, "Hahaha? Sent? How about you give it to you? ”

But when the female beggar heard this, not only did she not get angry, but made a scene that the two ghosts couldn't believe, she directly raised the basket in her hand high, stepped forward and took a big step, and instantly stuffed the whole basket into the ghost's arms, and said, "Since this is the case, then give it to you." ”

The ghost was dumbfounded, and the emotions on his face did not calm down. They looked at each other face to face, and both felt a little incredible, and after a long while, they turned back to the beggar and said, "Hey, how can this be done, I have to leave one for you." ”

After speaking, the ghost took out a steamed bun from the basket, stuffed it into the female beggar's hand, and said with a smile: "Okay, hey, girl, hurry up and go to the city, uncle, I am in a good mood today, so I will not hold you responsible for the theft." ”

The female beggar smiled indifferently, nodded, and quickly moved her body towards the town.

The female beggar seemed to be familiar with the town, and knew every street well and knew which roads to take and which not to take. Soon she came to the previous mansion alone.

The man standing guard at the gate happened to be the fat brother, he didn't know the female beggar, and when he saw her coming alone, he stepped forward to intercept her and asked, "Hey, girl, I'm resting today, and the official will come tomorrow." ”

The female beggar suddenly stopped and hurriedly said, "I have come to find your head, not to report to the official, I am his slave." ”

The fat brother shook his head and said, "No, slaves can't go in, this is not a mansion, it's an official mansion." ”

The female beggar slowly lowered her head, took out the last steamed bun from her pocket, stuffed it into the fat brother's hand, and said, "I'll go in for a while." ”

As soon as the fat brother saw the steamed bun, his eyes widened like a ball, he quickly took it, put on a smiling face, and said, "Oh, just go in for a while, that's okay, remember to come out quickly." ”

After the fat brother finished speaking, he took the initiative to get out of the way, stood aside, and let the female beggar walk in.

But the female beggar had only been in for less than two minutes, and an angry figure rushed out from the direction of the grass house, the speed was very fast, and he slammed into the fat brother's body head-on, kicked the fat brother to the ground sideways, pointed at his face, and scolded: "What do you mean? Accept steamed buns when you see people? ”

The fat guy fell to the ground, suddenly screamed, and after a while he got up from the ground in embarrassment. As soon as he turned around, he found that He Wei was standing in front of him, and suddenly exclaimed: "Head, you misunderstood, she took the initiative to give it to me." ”

He Wei crossed his hands to his waist, put on a menacing appearance, frowned tightly, gritted his teeth and scolded: "That's not good, you can't accept anyone, don't you see her pitiful enough?" ”

The fat brother took out the steamed bun again in a panic, handed it to him with both hands, and said, "Head, I won't dare next time." ”

"No, you just take it, it was originally for you, and I'm angry at your behavior of dragging 258,000 yuan."

As soon as He Wei finished speaking, he turned around and left, and walked very fast, and soon he couldn't see his figure.

The fat brother suddenly raised his head, looked at his departing figure curiously, and breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. looked down at the steamed bun in his hand, which was still a little hot, and said to himself helplessly: "Lao Tzu has been a ghost for so long, and he finally has a place to stay." ”

The next day, the fat brother took the steamed bun in his hand, and immediately ran to find more than a dozen craftsmen, built a huge grass house for him, and recruited a lot of family members to guard him, recruited three cooks to cook for him, and got a few maids to massage his back every night.

It's hard to imagine that a steamed bun has such a high value, and what can be made from a bowl of water and a bag of flour is actually worth more than gold, which makes people feel a little unbelievable.

On the same day, three or five soldiers in iron armor walked into the mansion carrying a wooden box. Facing He Wei's grass house, he walked over.

When they came to the door, they knocked on the wooden door, and it was a female beggar who came to open the door, and when the soldiers saw it, they smiled and said, "This is something that Master Zhang sent us to send, so I will put it here first." ”

The female beggar nodded, and the soldiers left. At this time, He Wei also ran out, saw the boxy long wooden box on the ground, and hurriedly opened it to take a look, and it was indeed filled with layers of white steamed buns, about a hundred of them.

He Wei took out two steamed buns in front of his eyes and carefully observed them, they were indeed ordinary steamed buns, and there was no difference between them and the steamed buns he had eaten before. He immediately turned back to the female beggar standing beside him, and said, "Do you know what this is?" ”

The female beggar replied in a low voice, "Steamed buns! ”

He Wei smiled and continued to ask: "I know it's steamed buns, I want to ask, how valuable is this thing, and why everyone's eyes can turn green after seeing it." ”

The female beggar didn't reply, but just glanced at him slightly, as if to hint at something.
