My words stunned everyone. Then, their gaze changed slightly.

The Tree King is dead, no matter how angry he is, it won't help, it's better to find a way to remedy it. Instead of killing us. It's better to grab a few apples as soon as you can prolong your life.

In this way, the eyes of the old people shifted from us to Granny Ai. Originally, we were targeted. Now the public enemy has become her.

Granny Ai shouted indignantly: "Nonsense, framing good people, there is no such thing at all." Folks, you must not believe the words of these outsiders. ”

The best way to deflect internal opposition is to create an external enemy, so that everyone can unite and unite with the outside world. Now Granny Ai wants to do just that.

I began to fan the flames: "Do you want to go to Granny Ai's house now?" In case of a delay. If the apple is secretly eaten by her, or robbed by someone else, it will be more than worth the loss. My lives are certainly not worth as much as your own. ”

Although the people did not return to the village. But no one rushed up again. They seemed to be thinking about my words, weighing the pros and cons and whether to go back or not.

Granny Ai was still arguing loudly. At this time, two people sneaked away. These two are the couple who were once overheard by me.

I was overjoyed, and I quickly pointed over there and said, "Have you seen that?" There are already people who understand running over. ”

This kind of thing is better to be hated by the same enemy. Once there is a start, they will inevitably scramble to be the first, and no one will let anyone. I heard someone shouting, "Leave two people to watch these outsiders, don't let them run away." ”

It's just that who wants to stay? A few seconds. And there was not one of them left.

Xue Qian stretched out her thumb at me and said, "Lao Zhao, you are very clever in this method, I feel that I just fell asleep, and when I wake up, I don't know you anymore." ”

I shook my head with a wry smile and said, "Let's go." Otherwise, the villagers will turn around and deal with us again. ”

On the way back, I told me about the night.

Xue Qian and Mr. Lu were amazed when they heard this, and said, "We all thought that we were just sleeping, but we didn't expect such a big thing to happen. ”

Mr. Lu patted me on the shoulder. said: "Zhao Mang, you did a good job, you deserve praise." ”

It's always nice to be complimented, but I shook my head slightly. Because I always felt in my heart that this night, I had been ignorant, and somehow, I solved this matter.

I said to Mr. Lui, "I always feel like someone has planned it, and I'm just a pawn of that person." I'm following the steps he prescribed, kind of ...... It's a bit of a feeling of being out of your own hands. ”

Mr. Lu laughed: "Zhao Mang, you don't have to think about it. When people encounter something too lucky, or something too unlucky, they will suspect that the ghosts and gods are playing the ghost. You are indeed lucky that you can survive the battle of the immortals, and it is normal to have this delusion. ”

I nodded, "There's some truth to what you're saying. ”

The three of us talked very lively, but the old man Wang didn't say a word, he kept holding the white porcelain bowl, and it seemed that he couldn't let go.

There was only one way out of the village, and a few of us dodged and walked through the village. After a while, I realized that I didn't need to dodge at all. Because these villagers don't care about us at all.

They are in a scuffle.

No matter how hidden Granny Ai's apple was, it was finally found. There are only about a dozen apples, which is not enough for the whole village.

While the Tree King is still alive, they can comfort themselves that with the Tree King here, everyone will have a chance to get apples. So the village can barely maintain an order.

Now the Tree King is dead. This order is also out of order.

Whoever gets the Apple will inevitably be besieged. It's not an apple, it's a talisman, but the villagers are still fighting like moths to the fire.

Xue Qian sighed faintly: "If I were a villager here, I would hide and let them fight, and when they were bruised all over the fight, I would come out to reap the benefits of the fisherman." ”

Mr. Lu said: "I'm afraid that before you come out, people have already swallowed the apple." ”

I take a closer look, isn't it? The first reaction of anyone who gets an apple is to stuff it in their mouth. They were so anxious that they didn't even have time to wipe the blood off them. Bu Sheng Jucai.

However, even if you eat apples in your stomach, it is not safe. Some people carry sharp knives and cut people's mouths from the esophagus to the stomach, and cut out the undigested apples and eat them.

Old Man Wang looked at it and sighed again and again: "These people have no humanity at all. ”

Lao Wang said: "Yes, let's go quickly, after a while, they should eat people." It's useless for you to digest the apples. Others will eat your flesh to get the medicinal effects of apples. ”

We all agree with that. We are all deeply afraid of the villagers here. The five of us supported each other and fled as fast as we could.

These villagers don't know how many people they have harmed, and they don't know how many people's souls have been eaten. According to secular law, they should have been sentenced to death a long time ago. Now that they are killing each other, they will definitely kill the last person before they stop, and they will be punished as they deserve.

I remember clearly that there was only one way into the village, but when we got to the outside of the village, we noticed that there were many paths outside.

I looked at Mr. Lu and asked, "What's going on?" So many roads, which one to take? ”

Mr. Lu shook his head slightly and said, "It stands to reason that the Tree King is dead, and all the Dao techniques here should be gone." Why are there so many more roads? It's kind of like a ghost hitting a wall. ”

We were standing at the intersection wondering. A young voice next to him said, "There were many roads here, but then they were gone." ”

I turned my head to look at it and wondered, "Isn't this the kid from before?" ”

The child smiled at me and said, "My brother is back, let me wait for you here." Come with me. ”

Then, he chose a path and walked forward.

A few of us followed the child. A few minutes later, the apple tree was seen, along with the white stones.

I saw that the fruit tree, like the king of trees in the village, had withered and died. And the white stone was also full of cracks. It was as if in one night, it had patched up all the traces that the years should have given it.

There was also a little ghost sitting on the stone, and he said to us, "My name is Dahu, and my brother's name is Xiaohu." Are you here to take us home? ”

I nodded and said, "Yes, I'm here to take you home, where is your home?" ”

The little ghost waved his hand and said, "Come with me." "Then, their brothers walked in front, and we followed behind.

I muttered, "It's obviously a little ghost sending us home." How did it turn out that we sent them home. ”

Mr. Lu smiled: "You forgot? The little ghosts are all tendons, and if no one sends them, they may not be able to return home. ”

We walked along the road for a while, and I saw a village in front of me. The two imps stopped in front of a somewhat dilapidated wooden door and said to us, "Wait a minute, I'll go and call my mother to open the door." ”

The two of them went through the wooden door while we waited outside.

A few of us whispered and waited, and after waiting for an unknown amount of time, no one came to open the door.

Xue Qian shouted: "It's really the world is declining, people's hearts are not ancient, and even the little ghosts have begun to play tricks on us." Anyway, we've already found the village, so what are we doing here? It's better to go straight home. ”

I was about to speak when the village heard the sound of chickens.

It's dawn.

I sighed and said, "It's dawn, and it looks like the two imps won't be coming back." Let's go. ”

Mr. Lu waved his hand and said, "There are footsteps." ”

I listened with my ears sideways. Sure enough, there was a sound of footsteps coming from the courtyard.

Subsequently, someone opened the door. A person came out of the gate, and when she saw us, she was very surprised, and then muttered, "Is there really anyone outside?" ”
