Just as I was concentrating all my attention on the bleeding tree, a child's cry suddenly came from behind me.

I quickly turned around, and three little boys ran from behind us.

The three boys, whose skin was pale and their eyes seemed to be a little red, rushed at us with their heads shut, and then pushed Qiao Wei away and threw himself on the side of the tree, scrambling to suck the blood-red liquid that flowed down from the tree.

It was so weird that I took two steps back.

I looked up at the sky, it was a sunny day, and although the winter sun didn't appear directly overhead, the full sun could still illuminate the entire forest, so the three little boys were not ghosts.

Where did they come from? weishenme is going to suck those ...... Blood?

Qiao Wei was also stunned in place, it was obvious that he didn't know what the three children were doing.

The three of them lay down on the tree for a few moments, sucking up the blood from the tree, and then turned their heads to stare at us with strange eyes. The corners of their mouths turned slightly upwards as if they were smiling, and there were still dried blood marks on their lips.

Feng Xiaoxiao was scared, she took a step back and hid behind me. But I didn't know what to do at this time, so I could only protect Feng Xiaoxiao while shouting to the three children: "Which child are you?" What do you want to do? ”

The three children didn't answer my words, but looked at each other, then giggled weirdly, and then turned around and ran in the direction of Fangjia Village.

"The three of them are from Fangjia Village?" Feng Xiaoxiao, who was hiding behind me, asked.

"Looks like it is." I replied vaguely, and walked two steps to the tree.

The cracks in the bark were still there, but there was no blood coming out of it, and it felt as if the tree had stopped bleeding on its own.

"Qiao Wei, lend me the knife again." I said.

Qiao Wei didn't ask me what I was going to do, he turned the dagger and handed me the handle.

After taking the dagger, I slashed a little bit in the trunk, and as before, a blood-like red viscous liquid flowed out. I dipped my fingers a little bit and put it on my tongue for a moment. The liquid tasted a little fishy and astringent, and while I wasn't sure if it was blood, at least it wasn't sweet, and it wasn't something a normal person would want to drink in a hurry.

"What does it smell like?" Feng Xiaoxiao asked me with a frown.

"I can't say it, it's not good anyway, those three children are probably sick." I replied.

"And now, what are you going to do? It's still ...... to go back."

"If that's what I'm thinking, I'll go to the village and ask them, and I'd better find the three children and ask them, I always feel that they laugh horrively." After saying that, I looked at Qiao Wei again to see what he meant.

Qiao Wei's thoughts were the same as mine, he nodded at me and said, "Then let's go to the village and have a look, I also think those three children are quite eccentric, a bit like ......"

"Vampires?" I rushed to the road.

"Hmm." Qiao Wei nodded again.

"Would you like to call and ask your dad, he hasn't been back to England yet, maybe he can tell you a little bit about vampires?" I suggested.

"Aren't vampires afraid of the sun?" Xiaoxiao interjected.

"That's how it was played in the movie, but it's hard to say if that's the case." I said.

"Really?" Feng Xiaoxiao asked as she looked at Qiao Wei, hoping to get a more accurate answer.

Qiao Wei was silent and thought for a while before he spoke, "I heard my dad tell me about vampires last time I went back. He said that vampires are actually caused by a special disease, people with this disease will have pale skin and very fragile, blisters in direct sunlight for only ten seconds, and the eyes will appear temporary blindness under strong light, they suck blood is actually because of the lack of heme in the body, blood sucking will become the instinct of this patient, and the teeth will also be sharp because of ischemia. In short, from my father's point of view, there are no vampires on this shijie, and some are just patients with strange diseases. ”

The legend of vampires has been circulating since the Middle Ages in Europe. Qiao Wei's father is British, and he is also an exorcist, and an exorcist personally admitted that there are no vampires on Shijie, which is definitely credible enough. I've also heard of "vampire disease", but I don't know much about the symptoms.

"But if there were no vampires in the world, what about those three kids? They don't seem to be afraid of the sun, and their teeth aren't pointy. Feng Xiaoxiao objected.

Her questions were exactly what I couldn't figure out, and the origin of the tree was also a mystery, and it seemed that the only way to answer these questions was to start from Fangjia Village.

So I first collected some "blood" from the trunk of the tree so that I could go back to someone to check what the liquid was, and then the three of us went back to Fangjia Village to find the three children from before.

When we turned over the hill and walked back to the car, we suddenly found that the body seemed to be a little short, and the wheels were obviously wrong!

"Lean !!"

Xiaoxiao cursed, and then ran a few steps to the side of the car and checked back and forth.

"someone punctured my tire! All four of them are pierced!! ”

"Punctured tires?" I asked, surprised, and ran to the side of the car to take a look.

Sure enough, all four tires were deflated.

"Damn, I know who did it! Follow me!!! ”

The first person that popped into my mind was the man who was going to sell us amulets, and he must have taken revenge on us for ignoring him.

I ran straight into the village, but the man was nowhere to be seen at the end of the village. But another man came out of a house next to the roadside, and I hurried over to him and shouted, "Hey, you saw this selling ...... Feed! You wait!! ”

Halfway through my words, the man turned around and ran back, no matter how I shouted at him, and went straight back to his house.

The reaction was so suspicious that I chased the man all the way to the door and banged on the door while shouting, "Hey! What do you run? Come out! Come out for me!! ”

I had used all my strength to slam the door so hard that my hands hurt, but the man wouldn't open the door or come out to answer.

I was making a fuss at the door for about a minute, and before I could knock on his door, someone in the next house opened the door and poked his head out.

"Excuse me, is there anything wrong with you?" The one who opened the door and spoke was a middle-aged man who looked very urbane, probably in his forties.

He spoke in a very polite tone, and I naturally wouldn't be angry with him, so I pressed down the fire and said to him: "I'm not looking for him, the key is that our car stopped in the back of the village and someone punctured all four tires, and as a result, he saw us turn around and ran, what would you think if it was you?" ”

"Oh, I see, no wonder you look so angry." The middle-aged man said as he walked out of the house and said: "But you may have misunderstood, he has always been relatively timid, he was afraid to come out when he saw your angry face, I know him that person, he will definitely not puncture the tires of your car." ”

"I also know this, it's just that what he ran for no reason, if it's a misunderstanding, it's not just a matter of explaining, and we won't do it!" I complained.

The middle-aged man smiled and said: "You think you can't do it, but he's afraid, you ask your friend to tell me, your expression, like this, who can see it without being afraid?" ”

I looked back at Feng Xiaoxiao and asked, "Is my expression scary?" ”

Feng Xiaoxiao covered her mouth and snickered: "It's not scary, it feels like it's going to eat people." ”

Qiao Wei also nodded cooperatively.

I sighed helplessly, then turned back to the middle-aged man and smiled, "Maybe I'm a little anxious." ”

The man hurriedly waved his hand, "It's no wonder you, whoever encounters you will be in a hurry." Having said that, there is no place to repair cars around here, and it may take two hours to call someone to send you tires to change, so if you don't dislike it, why don't you come to my house and sit down, drink tea and rest. ”

It is suspicious that a stranger suddenly appeared out of nowhere and invited us to his house so warmly. But there are three of us, and there are masters like Qiao Wei, and this man doesn't seem to want to be a bad person, and besides, we were supposed to ask about the blood forest in the village, so we can ask him a question or two.

So I didn't ask Qiao Wei and Feng Xiaoxiao's opinions, and nodded directly: "Then I will thank you first." ”

The gentle man smiled, and then made a gesture of please.
