Chapter 141: The Peach Tree
That's all Daima knows, and in any case, we are even more full of doubts about the bones buried under the Jiang family's old mansion. So far, we can only take one step at a time.
I saw a pair of tongs in the dark room, so I took it and sifted through it to find out how many people there were, but I was upset when I picked it.
Seeing that my movements slowed down until I didn't move, Daima also seemed to feel abnormal, and hurriedly walked to my side, and saw that the iron tongs were clamping a calf bone, and a whole row of tooth marks appeared on the calf bone, the depth was orderly, which made me think of animal teeth, and I don't know if I don't pay attention to it, there are many such tooth marks.
The fool can also think of who did the good thing, before Wu Santong said that let's not regret it after reading it, is it because we are afraid that we will expose what he did?
But it's a big deal to explain that the bones he gnawed on came from here, so what's so terrible.
Daima wasn't shocked by what he saw, but what he found next made me break out in a cold sweat.
With the flicking of the iron tongs, many fragments of bones scattered one after another, revealing a black "pillar".
The "pillar" seems to be wrapped in iron sheets, and it makes a "boom" sound under the impact of iron tongs, which is very hard, but from the texture of the "pillar", it can be judged that it is part of the trunk of the tree, and the intertwined roots of the tree extend outward, almost intertwined with most of the bones.
I think of the old laurel tree in the laurel forest outside Mizusawa Village a few years ago, and it also absorbs the essence and blood of people as nutrients, and it is almost the same form.
We quickly cleaned up the bones piled around the trunk, and as expected. It's just a little confusing to me, is there any connection between the two, won't this tree also become a sperm, then will we be in danger?
I was so infected by my bold thoughts that I felt a faint gagging gagging under the base of my tongue, and I remembered the peaches that had feasted my mouth last night. Just when I was about to break down from crankiness, Daima's words confirmed my thoughts.
He judged from the position of the dark room upwards that it coincided with the position of the two peach trees, which made me have to believe that the disaster came from the mouth.
I fell to the ground carelessly, and the acid that was already in my stomach overflowed from the corners of my mouth. I spat a few times. I hate Wu Santong from the bottom of my heart, this treacherous weasel didn't stop us even if he knew that Peaches had a problem, he didn't take us seriously, and saw that I didn't smoke him with a hundred big ears.
Between words. Wu San smiled adulterously and looked at us with a small bald head. From time to time, he also held his stomach and pretended to be full. I don't know where it came out, and the white fur was covered with dust.
As soon as I saw him, I got angry, picked up a skull on the ground and threw it in his direction. He didn't panic. One turned around and ducked, laughing louder.
Just when I was about to break out, Dai Ma, who was hiding in the shadows, jumped, grabbed Wu Santong's tail and smashed it on the bone pile, only to hear a muffled sound, he staggered as if he had just climbed out of the wine vat, grinning and screaming.
Dai Ma's strength is not small, and I am afraid that it will hurt his head in real strength, and I see that he has suffered from flesh and skin, and I formally question him a good opportunity.
I pointed at his nose and reprimanded: "I ask you, why is there a mechanism for walking immortals in the dark room, whether the antiquities were hidden by you, whether these people were killed here by you, did you already know that there was something wrong with the peach, and who planted these two strange trees, give me an explanation word by word." ”
Wu Santong opened his mouth slightly, his two rows of fangs trembled up and down, his eyes swayed from side to side, and he didn't have to think about it to know that he was thinking about how to get rid of himself with bad ideas. Of course, I wouldn't trust him as lightly as I had before, and I couldn't let him think, so before he could react, I grabbed his neck and held it tightly.
"It hurts...... Hurt...... I said I said ......"
"It's okay if you say it, if you hide it at all, do you see it," I grabbed him and looked at the various torture instruments, and continued: "It's much more convenient for you to be a little thing than to deal with people, hum." ”
Wu Santong's claws flapped my arm indiscriminately, and as soon as I let go, he fell. When he stood firm, he made room for himself, and hung his head like a resentful woman, sighing again and again.
"I'm really sorry, in fact, I don't want to lie to you, it's you who don't listen to persuasion and have to open it! I promise to give it all this time. If you want to say that this underground dark room, it was a vegetable cellar in the old age, and it was the scene you saw later. I didn't lie to you when I said that I eat bones, but where they come from...... It's not that I deliberately killed them, it's all because of which of the common people can eat enough these years, so ......"
", you mean these people are all committed suicide for you to eat?" I said indignantly.
"Uh-uh, don't worry, I'm not done yet. At first, I only ate some rats, sparrows, etc., and then I ate them all, I was hungry, and I couldn't get out of this ghost place, and when I had nothing to do, suddenly one day, a few refugees who had left their homes climbed into the fence like stealing peaches, and became ghosts under the peaches. If you want to say that the two peach trees were not before, and I don't know who planted them (I asked Daima, he nodded in certainty), the two peach trees at that time were not thick, at most less than one-tenth of the thickness of the current one, but the peaches were almost the same size as now, red, full of branches, very attractive, I had already eaten them when I was a human. After eating a meal, one of the leaders was afraid that he would not have to eat in the future, so he simply took out an axe for self-defense and wanted to cut down the peach tree. Later, they were not reconciled, and stones, knives, and clubs were thrown into battle, and they were all smashed and beaten. You say, aren't these people looking for trouble? Although this is not my home, I can't bear to destroy these two peach trees like this, and just when I wanted to intervene to stop them, something strange happened. The two peach trees were possessed, and the branches suddenly became slender and slender, like the long wrists of octopuses, and instantly entangled the people, and the branches were inserted from their mouths, eyes, ears, noses, and mouths, and held high in the air, like a human-shaped lantern until they were dried into dry corpses. ”
At this point, I began to be afraid, it turned out that death was inadvertently accompanied, and we didn't know whether the peach did any harm to the body, and who planted these two peach trees here, as if my mind was not smart enough to guess the cause and effect. (To be continued......)
