I didn't know much about fruit tree planting, and I wasn't interested in bonsai at all, and I basically went in and out of my left ear and out of the right ear when the tree maniac told me about the advantages of his bonsai fruit trees, and my attention was all about looking for yin qi or something else that could be related to ghosts.

The tree maniac didn't seem to notice my "absent-mindedness". He kept talking, and I answered every now and then that I was listening, but I was just wasting my time.

Finally, the sun completely set, but I couldn't see the yin qi in the greenhouse, and it seemed that my trip was in vain.

After coming out of the greenhouse, I simply asked the tree madman directly: "Have you always lived on this mountain?" ”

"That's right." The tree maniac replied with a smile.

"Then did you hear some strange sounds in your orchard? Like crying and stuff. I asked.

"Crying? What crying? The tree madman stared at me in confusion, as if he had no idea what I was talking about.

Seeing his reaction, and thinking about the experience of this tree maniac told me by the truck driver before, I guess that even if there is any strange noise, this man may not notice it, all his energy has been put into the fruit tree, and there is probably no other thing in this world that will make him care.

I waved my hand at him, motioning for the topic to stop.

Then I glanced at the woodland in the distance without greenhouses and asked, "Are there any old brick houses around here?" ”

"Is this also related to Feng Shui?" The tree maniac asked.

"This is due to the consideration of the symbiosis of the five elements, which is a bit troublesome to explain." I said something casually and didn't say anything about the weird dream I had.

Just like I don't care about the knowledge of bonsai. The tree madman didn't seem to be interested in things like the Five Elements and Feng Shui, so he just scratched his head, then rolled his eyes and said, "The houses in this mountain are all brick houses, and they have been around for a long time. ”

"What about the forests with red leaves? Is there a tree in this area? It looks like a maple tree, right? I asked from a different perspective.

The tree maniac frowned slightly. As if I was remembering something, I didn't rush him, just waited. After a while, he scratched his head again and pointed in the direction of the sunset in the west, and said, "I remember that there is a maple forest at the bottom of the hillside, and it is a little far from here. It seems that they were all cut down and planted with fruit forests later. Does this also have an impact on Feng Shui? ”

"Yes, the red five elements belong to fire, and there are some particularities in this." I continued to perfunctory the tree maniac, and he didn't ask much, and the conversation between us ended here.

The tree maniac has his own house in the mountains, which is a small two-story building. He lived in the building with a few hired technicians. Because two technicians quit their jobs during the Chinese New Year, there are still free rooms and beds in the building, and I can stay in this small building at night.

Of course, the tree maniac did not force me to live in his small building, and I could also go to the nearby mountain village to find a farmer to borrow to live, whatever I liked.

I'm also afraid of trouble, and since I have time, I don't bother to look for a farmer's house, so I just decided to stay in the tree maniac's small house for the night.

The technicians living in the small building are all men, and when they don't work at night, they play video games on each computer in the building, and it seems that this entertainment is enough to satisfy them. Even being far away from the city doesn't matter to them.

The truck driver drove for hours, so instead of playing with the technicians, he went to his room early to rest. Although I was feeling a little tired, I decided to go for a walk in the mountains, especially the maple forest on the western slope that the tree madman said, and I was going to see it today anyway.

After nightfall, the temperature dropped a lot, and the breeze blew cold, which somewhat affected my judgment of the yin ghost aura, so I had to rely more on my eyes to judge, but in this kind of black rumbling mountain forest area, my eyes always seemed not so reliable.

Fortunately, today's weather is not bad, although the moon is not round, but at least it is not covered by clouds, there is no black smoke and miasma in the city, and the stars are very many and bright, plus the highlight flashlight in my hand, it is not difficult to see the surrounding situation clearly.

I hiked all the way in the direction that the tree maniac had pointed me out, and when I climbed over a hill, I saw a forest.

There will definitely be no autumn leaves in this season, and the trees in that forest are all neatly arranged, and it looks like an artificially planted fruit forest, which is completely different from the maple forest I dreamed of in my dreams.

Now that I had arrived here, I walked around the orchard, but I didn't find anything in this circle, so I had to go back the way I came, and then I walked around the tree maniac's small building casually, looking around, but still nothing came of it.

I was out wandering longer than I thought, and when I got back to the building, the wall clock at the door reminded me that it was nine o'clock in the night.

I don't have the habit of going to bed early, but I'm really tired today, and I've looked for the places I should find, I even went to the fruit tree greenhouse of the tree madman to take a look, but there is no yin anywhere, it seems that the problem is not here, this result makes me feel very disappointed, this disappointed feeling xù also played a certain role in the hypnotic effect of Cheng dù.

The room that the tree maniac arranged for me was at the east end of the second floor, and on the way back to the room, I saw that the technicians were still playing, and I didn't expect to get any important information from them, but subconsciously asked casually: "Still playing?" Aren't you afraid of hearing some ghost movements in the mountains at night? ”

Unexpectedly, the three people sitting in front of the computer were all excited, and then turned their heads to look at me in unison, with strange eyes.

Their reaction really brightened my eyes, and the tiredness that had just hit me disappeared in an instant.

I walked up to the technician next to the door and asked, "Have you encountered anything over here?" ”

The technician frowned and took a breath, then clenched his nose and said, "It's not a strange thing, it's just that we always have a dream." ”

"Maple groves, stumps, broken corpses, right?" I hurriedly asked.

The technician's eyes widened and he nodded repeatedly, and the other two had the same expressions.

"Didn't you mention this to anyone?" I asked.

"I've also mentioned it, but it's all regarded as a supernatural story, is there really a ghost in the world? And we've been working here for a year or two, and nothing happened to anyone, and we haven't seen anything that shouldn't be seen, that is, we have had one or two strange dreams. The technician said lightly.

His answer made me difficult again.

I saw half a grimace on the bonsai of the apple tree, and then I had a strange dream for another night, and it was said that the origin of the bonsai should be the source of the haunting, but I looked around and found no yin qi at all, but the three technicians had the same strange dream as me, which really made me think of a way to explain it.

What's the problem?

What am I overseeing?

"When did you have those weird dreams? Have you had one recently? "I can only continue to follow the clues in front of me.

The three of them looked at each other, and then the technician at the door replied, "Not recently." I dreamed it once in the spring last year, and then I dreamed it once in the fall, and I just dreamed it twice, what about you two? ”

The other two nodded first, and then one of them said, "I dreamed about it the year before last, and you two didn't come back then, it was summer...... Yes, it's summer. ”

"Then when you had this strange dream, was there anything special going on in this mountain? Or is there anything special about it that is different from usual? I continued to ask questions, trying to figure out how the dream appeared.

The three of them fell into deep thought, and it was indeed not easy to recall this thing, after all, this matter was very trivial, and even if it could not be remembered, it was normal.

I didn't rush them, so I let the three of them remind each other and reminisce, and they gradually found common ground as they talked, and one of them said, "That one named Han Susu resigned last spring, right?" It seems that she resigned for half a month, and that strange dream appeared. ”

"Yes, yes, it's Han Susu! Later, another woman resigned, what's her name? ”

"Zhu Ying! Zhu Ying resigned last fall! ”

"Yes, it's Zhu Ying. Oops, when you say that, it seems like that dream occurs every time someone quits. ”

"No, Da Liang and Chen Zi left during the Chinese New Year this year, so we didn't have that dream."

"Hmm...... That's what a woman dreams about when she resigns. When you had that dream the year before last, did you also have a woman who resigned? "A total of acres of craftsman.

"No...... the oldest technician frowned, and suddenly he seemed to remember something, so he hurriedly said: "Don't say it, there is really a woman who doesn't do it, but she helps burn pottery." ”

"Pottery?" It was as if I had suddenly discovered a new continent.

"Well, it's the pots used for potted plants, and the boss found someone to burn them here, and there is a small art pottery kiln here." The technician replied.

"Have you been to that pottery kiln?" I asked.!

All three shook their heads.

"Where's the approximate location?" I continued to ask.

"I really don't know this, do you two know?" The senior technician asked the other two.

Both of them shook their heads and said to me, "Either you ask the boss and he'll know." ”

I don't need them to remind me of this, but I have a vague feeling that I can't tell the tree maniac boss about this anyway.

The technicians had strange dreams three times, and three times female employees resigned. Although it is a resignation, but the person is not doing it or disappearing from this world, it is certainly not something that these three technicians can know, so the question is, who can know most directly and clearly whether these three people have really resigned?

There is no doubt that this man is the boss here, the tree maniac.
