Chapter 8: A Difficult Puzzle
The villagers, who had completely lost their minds for a while, were all stunned in place, they didn't know what was going on, they didn't know where this big tree with a crown that was enough to cover the sky and the sun if it stood in the middle of the village, and they didn't know what was going on with the dried corpses on the tree.

When the big tree finally stepped into the village and trampled on the first house, the villagers ran to the back like a rat plague with their lives. The people who were trampled to death along the way, and the people who were knocked to the ground were all hung up by the big tree with a rope hanging down, and the moment the rope wrapped around the person's neck, a row of fang-like thorns suddenly appeared from the top of the rope buckle, and after piercing the skin on the people's necks without hindrance, the people's bodies were slowly emptied, and slowly turned into a shriveled corpse!
The village is surrounded by towering mountains on three sides except for the front, and it is almost impossible to escape over the mountains, and when all the people in the village are driven to the bottom of the mountain by the big trees, everyone is crowded together, and no one wants to lean forward, and it stands to reason that the more people stand in front, the easier it is to be the first to be swallowed up.
When everyone was at a loss, suddenly one of the villagers took out a flashlight from his hand, and his trembling hand caused the flashlight to shoot out like a searchlight on the sea, and he was in a trance, and he wanted to see some roads clearly through this faint light, and maybe go around the side to the back of the big tree, but it was because of his fear that the whole village was saved.
When the trembling light in his hand swept across the trunk of the tree, the tree suddenly let out a roar like a wild beast caught in the leg of a beast, and the entire crown shook violently, and the leaves quickly dried up partially, and in just a few seconds, the place where the trunk was illuminated by the flashlight just now left traces as if it had been burned by fire, and the dried corpses on the tree also fell like yellow leaves after autumn.
At the same time, in these few seconds, the villagers have also reacted, they have taken the opportunity to run back to those houses that have not been destroyed and turned on the lights, although the houses have been destroyed a large part, but just the rest is enough, the original lush and fierce tree was roasted into the appearance of an old locust tree in a blink of an eye, but just when people thought that the tree would die here, the ground suddenly cracked a huge gap, and people watched the big tree escape from the crack in the ground.
As for where the stones were transported, the villagers did not know, only that this was a directive from the government, saying that the nearest city from here needed to develop rapidly, and such a backward village was not allowed, so they sent people to dig for more than half a year to completely flatten this place.
Whatever the government's reasons, the villagers are grateful to the government from the bottom of their hearts, and perhaps the purpose and reason are not the same, but the result is beneficial to both parties. It's just that the tree escaped, it doesn't mean that it won't come back, and according to the situation when it appeared, it actually has a certain amount of wisdom, and the most terrifying thing in this world is not how fierce the enemy is, but that the enemy has a certain amount of wisdom in addition to being fierce.
"So in today's words, hooligans are not scary, but they are afraid that hooligans are educated?" I listened to everything Qin Xin told me like a story, and then briefly summarized it.
Qin Xin was stunned for a moment and said, "Hey, I spent a long time trying to inquire about the news, and you finally gave me such a joke-like reply?" ”
"So what's not? Otherwise, I'll tell you a secret? "The quickened blood flow caused by my desire to laugh but didn't dare to laugh made my wound a hot pain, and I rolled my eyes with my teeth bared and gasped.
"Do you know what your expression looks like right now?" Qin Xin suddenly put his face in front of me, and I reflexively pulled my neck back, but behind me was the bed, and I guess my current action was just squeezing out my double chin.
I didn't mean to hate Qin Xin, but when Qin Xin suddenly came over just now, I suddenly remembered the dry corpse standing in front of me when I was on that big tree, the dry corpse that made me hallucinate.
In fact, I can believe the story that Qin Xin said, which explains why the people in the village dare not go out at night, why they must turn on the lights in the middle of the night, why Li Da's car can't drive the high beam after getting there, it must be that the tree has done something, but ...... I reacted suddenly, then turned my head to look at Qin Xin and said, "Aren't we talking about Li Da?" What does this have to do with that tree? ”
"I don't know, I just know that after the car suddenly darkened that day, I was curling up in horror to the back corner of the car, and suddenly I saw a figure outside the car glass, he didn't even open the door and dragged me out of the car, until my eyes completely adapted to the darkness, I barely saw clearly, that person, no, to be precise, the dried corpse, it was Li Da." Qin Xin's body shuddered involuntarily when he said this, I knew that Qin Xin must have been frightened when he saw that scene.
Qin Xin was taken by Li Da to the periphery of the canopy, where there was a rope, Li Da just pulled Qin Xin so hard and wanted to stuff her head into the rope buckle, it seems that the strength of the hanging corpse tree has not recovered, otherwise he would not expect a dry corpse to bring people, and let the dry corpse use violence to complete this matter.
But logically speaking, this is impossible, I once clearly saw everything he experienced in Li Da's eyes, he did escape from that road, oh no, it was under the hands of that tree, how could it be a dry corpse? If this is true, the only answer that can explain this question is that Li Da only became a dried corpse after arriving there with us at night, although it is not certain, but this is the only possibility.
It's just that I always feel like I've overlooked something, if that tree really has the ability to kidnap Li Da without God knowing, why bother so much to kill the two of us?
"And then?" I then asked.
"Later, I slowly lost my strength after struggling for a while, and just when I was desperate, you ......" Qin Xin suddenly stopped when she said this, and her eyes became strange when she looked at me.
