Chapter 7: Bones

If it weren't for Dadong and them, then this bone could only be those 16 people......

All of a sudden, I thought of my parents, my uncle, my aunt, and many others...... In an instant, my mind went blank and I completely forgot to react.

I don't know what the expression on my face is, but it's certainly pretty ugly. The vine seemed to see me stunned in place, and in an instant it attacked me, and Xiao Rong grabbed it, and with a flick of it in his hand, he broke it in half.

"! Don't run anymore! I gritted my teeth and said fiercely to Xiao Rong, "Kill it!" Dog day! ”

I've never seen a fucking monster like this! Paralyzed, it's not easy to want to die?! Holding the bones of that hand, somehow, a wave of anger rushed straight to the top of my head for a while. I felt like I had never been so angry, my neck was about to explode.

"Up!" I yelled. Xiao Rong didn't say anything, open. He threw the knife at me, turned around and ran towards the crooked neck tree. I followed him, dodging left and right, swinging away. The mountain knife helped him cover up.

Xiao Rong was very fast, and in the blink of an eye, he came to the front of the tree. But more vines rushed towards him, and for a moment I didn't even have time to chop. And no matter how powerful Xiao Rong's fist is, but in the face of this flexible and slender thing, almost no fist has a landing point, and he can only release empty punches frequently.

The tree monster saw that it could not take advantage of it, and was frustrated frequently, and now it seemed to be in a state of rage, waving its roots and beginning to poke at the softest part of our stomachs.

I was hit several times in my lower abdomen, and the pain made me shrink and I almost broke my internal organs. But that thing obviously didn't have the hang of it, and I cut all the roots that came through it in two. The two sides were at a stalemate, and soon I felt like I was starting to get tired.

And Xiao Rong's side has been unable to break through. As soon as I finished beating a batch, in the blink of an eye, a large number of roots and vines came again, as if they were endless. I'm starting to wonder if fighting this tree monster is the right choice.

However, at this moment, something suddenly flashed in my head, this tree is different from animals, it has no eyes, no ears, how can it accurately judge the direction and take the initiative to attack us?

My head raced, and I suddenly remembered that I had read a book before. According to the book, the carbon dioxide exhaled by humans when they breathe is the basic product for plants to photosynthesize, so it is said that some plants can not only hear sounds, but also sense human breathing.

Breathe?

I don't know if it's true, dead horses are live horse doctors, there are not many strategies that can be chosen at the moment, just try it. So I took a deep breath, held my breath, and crouched on the ground.

It was a very risky move, and if I didn't get it, it would be gone, and I had never been so hasty, so as soon as I squatted down, I regretted it. His eyes were closed, ready to die. But unexpectedly, at this moment, the vines that pounced on me suddenly stopped, and I opened one eye to see the vines scurrying around me like headless flies.

Seems to have worked? When I saw it, I was in ecstasy.

I didn't expect that relying on this little bit of knowledge would save my life, God really helped me!

"Hold your breath!" I yelled and hurriedly held my breath again. I believe that with Xiao Rong's cleverness, he will definitely understand what I mean.

At this time, I saw Xiao Rong stunned for a moment, and then squatted down violently like me, and in an instant the roots and vines surrounding him also began to crash dizzily, and I knew that he had done it.

Seeing that he had lost his target, the tree monster suddenly became anxious, and the sound of "coming, coming" became louder and more frequent, and finally it almost turned into a shrill cry.

I covered my ears, and said in my heart that it was not a matter to hold it like this, and if I held it back, I would have to lack oxygen in my brain if I didn't die, so I made a motion to wipe Xiaorong's neck.

Xiao Rong immediately understood, stepped forward in two steps, raised his right fist and swung it in the air, slamming it on the tree monster. With a loud bang, the largest nodule suddenly burst, and a bloody thing slipped out of the coat and slid right in front of me.

The strange tree was mad, and all the roots of the tree came out of the ground and stood on the ground like a man, and the sand and tiles of the garden were constantly lifted by the roots and smashed at me like cannonballs.

I hurriedly rolled and escaped the blow first, it didn't matter, but now I couldn't hold it back, I took a deep breath, I didn't expect the strange tree to be so sensitive, and immediately found me, dozens of vines fell from the sky and stabbed at me.

I was so shocked that I barely had time to think of countermeasures, so I could only hold my head and wait for death. At this moment, Xiao Rong punched again, and a terrifying loud sound like the explosion of a gas tank came, and I saw that the strange tree exploded on the spot. The trunk of the tree exploded like a flower, and dozens of vines flew all over the ground like a goddess scattering flowers. The strange tree fell on its backs, its huge roots rising from the ground, and the black-green slime like blood sprayed all over the ground.

I held my head and squatted on the ground for a long time before I came back to my senses. When he raised his eyes, Xiao Rong was covered with black and green things, and he originally had a very good-looking face, as if he had been painted with oil paint, and thick juice was dripping down his chin.

There was a strong smell of grass in the air. I slowly stood up, and when I looked down, I realized that what had slipped out of the tree was actually a human skeleton.

The skeleton was curled up, wearing a tattered old-fashioned jacket, and the marching bag on its back was deformed. The right hand of the skeleton is gone, and the **, which should have been plump, seems to have melted at this time, and only a little muscle and hair are left on the body, wrapped in clothes.

To be honest, I was scared to see such a scene, I thought they would die, but I didn't think about how I would feel when I saw their corpses.

…… This man is my second uncle, and I recognize the beeswax cake around his neck. It is said that my grandmother brought him back from Labrang Monastery when she was young.

That year, my second uncle was in a car accident and lay in the hospital for more than half a year, and his life almost died. But not long after the beeswax cake came back, his condition began to improve. My grandmother said it was the Buddha apparition, but everyone thought it was just a coincidence.

I was six years old and had just started elementary school. The second uncle is not married and has no girlfriend. My mother asked me to go to the hospital every day to deliver food to my second uncle, but he thought that my mother's cooking was too light and not to his taste, so he gave me ten yuan a day and asked me to buy spicy duck neck for him to eat. The two of us ate two sticks each, and we had a very enjoyable meal with cold soda. Later, the duck bones were found by my grandmother, and she scolded him badly.

Thinking about it, my eyes were a little moist.

He shouldn't be lying here......

He should go back and talk to my grandma and get angry with my grandpa. He should take me to eat duck neck and Sichuan hot pot, and then we will get drunk and lie on the ground in the yard when we get home, talking about beautiful girls and counting fireflies.

A person like him who is so arrogant, the aunt he marries should also be very arrogant. I guess he must have given birth to a boy, and then the boy would call me "Brother Yang".

Why can't he go back with me......

There was a moment when I was scared, and I was afraid that I would see the same scene and scene again. Although their death has been a fact in my mind for so many years, when it really happened in front of my eyes, I found that I was not mentally prepared at all.

For the first time, I felt that I was too weak......

Weak enough to treat it all as a game, an adrenaline-pumping adventure. I'm like a tourist who buys a ticket and queues up for a roller coaster, all I want to look for is the thrill of that moment, I keep saying that I want to find them, find them, but until now, I haven't recognized the reality.

I'll admit, I was too hasty.

"Brother Yang......"

Xiao Rong looked at me with some concern. I decided not to think about it, wiped my face, and tried to cheer myself up.

I know that I can't bring back the second uncle's corpse. I put the bone of that hand in my pocket and protected it well, thinking that if I had to go back, I would have to bury him properly.

"I owe you once." I said lightly to Xiao Rong, "If there is anyone who can help in the future, you can just say it, there are no taboos." ”

After listening to my words, Xiao Rong just shook his head and didn't say much.

I carried my second uncle's skeleton into the study, vacated a mahogany box in the corner, and put the skeleton in it smoothly. After closing the lid, I knelt on the ground and kowtowed three times.

After gathering my mood and slowly standing up, I looked out the window.

"Let's go......," I said to Jung, "and they're still waiting." ”

"Hmm." Xiao Rong nodded in response.

Pushing open the door again, a dazzling ray of sunlight pierced through the clouds and hit the eye directly.

In front of me, the remains of the strange tree were lying down in an astonishing appearance. I didn't want to look at it, so I walked straight through the garden and onto the stone path outside the cave door.

At this time, something seemed to come into view in the distance, and when I looked up, I saw a puff of orange-red smoke rising from the sky. I immediately understood that it was a signal from Dadong and them.

I once agreed with Dadong that red means "urgent......

Did they find something?
