Text "Chapter Twenty-Nine: The Old Man of the Yin Owl"

The old man said slowly under the puzzled gaze of Gu Changsheng and Lao Li: "Little Lao'er is a little unbelievable what he said next, Xiao Lao'er doesn't expect the little brother and brother to believe it, just listen to it as a story, but don't be a little old man, I make it up and bully you." ”

"Brother said directly, brother, I have seen a lot of strange things, and I like some strange things the most. Lao Li comforted.

"Yes, the old man just talks, we just listen to it, and we don't have to worry about anything. Gu Changsheng also said.

When the old man saw that Gu Changsheng and Lao Li had said this, the old man didn't twist and began to talk about it.

"Hey, this is retribution, the villagers are speculating that this incident is related to the old tree thirty years ago. ”

When the old man said this, Gu Changming and Lao Li glanced at each other, and sure enough, as the two expected, what the old man wanted to talk about should be the old tree, but the two remained silent and continued to listen to the old man.

"Thirty years ago, a young hunter in the village once went into the mountains to hunt, and was bitten on the leg by the prey, and after fighting to the death to kill the prey, he struggled to go to an old tree and fell. Just when the hunter was desperate and about to lose consciousness, a miracle really fell on this kid. Hey, it's also creation that makes people, whether it's a blessing or a curse, and you can't avoid it. Hey, if this miracle doesn't happen, then maybe, hey, if anything, it's all fate, it's fate. As the old man spoke, he turned from telling to lamenting and lamenting.

"The old tree saved him, and the ancient tree could drip a spiritual fluid of the flesh and bones of the living dead, and the spiritual liquid dripped into the mouth of the boy, and his wounded leg was soon intact. Of course, I exaggerated, old man, it should be impossible for the living dead, but it is still not far from curing all diseases.

At first, the boy didn't tell anyone about it. But one day, one of the boy's relatives fell ill with a serious illness and the medicine was ineffective. ”

"And then the hunter said the old tree, the elixir?" Lao Li interjected.

"That's right, the kid couldn't bear to see his relatives die, so he told him about the last time he was injured and saved by the old tree. Said that he was friends with the old tree, and maybe he could be saved. Of course, his family and relatives didn't believe it, jokes, could it really be that there was an old tree that became a spirit? Even if there really was, it was a monster, and if it didn't eat people, it would burn high incense, and it would save people? But the kid swore with his own life, and his dying relative also had the idea of a life-saving straw, urging his family to send him there, and the family had no choice but to take him to try.

Then, as you may be able to guess, the hunter's relatives are naturally fine, but after all, there is still a storm, and the hunter privately confesses that his relatives must not speak to anyone about this matter, but how is this possible?

After that, as long as there were serious illnesses and small disasters in the village, they went to the old tree to ask for medicine, and the villagers also set up a small temple for the old man under the tree for him to incense. At first, the old tree was also very willing to help the villagers, but after a long time, the villagers took the old tree's giving for granted, and then whether they were sick or not, they all went to ask for spiritual liquid, and some people even started to sell spiritual liquid, and the hunters also stopped it, but it was useless.

The hunter said that the spiritual fluid was not inexhaustible, and it did a lot of damage to the old tree. But what is the use of these things in front of the villagers who are obsessed with money? Some people promise not to go anymore on the surface, but behind the scenes, some people directly scold the hunter on the spot, saying that he just drops a few leaves when he eats inside and out, and besides, the tree is not his own, so why should he care?

It may be that the hunter feels that the dissuasion is fruitless, and may have told the old tree not to give anyone more spiritual fluid. After that, the old tree no longer gave people spiritual fluid, and if the matter ended there, it would be fine.

But there are twists and turns, on a thunderstorm day, a thunder fell from the sky, the thunder was clearly visible even on this side of the mountain, and it hit the old tree, and the leaves of the old tree fell a lot, and only a few lonely pieces hung on the branches. The thunder not only chopped the ancient trees, but also frightened the villagers, and under the thunder and lightning, the whole village seemed to be enveloped by thunder and lightning. Since that day, the bodies of the patients who drank the spiritual liquid of the old tree have slowly returned to their former past, and some of them have even died.

And there is a saying in the village, saying that the ancient tree is a demon tree, deliberately deceiving people of incense, that thunder is God's warning, if people worship monsters again, they will definitely be punished by God. So in the past, the benefactor became an enemy, and the incense temple naturally had to be demolished, and when people were arguing about who would demolish the incense temple, the hunter was still saying good things about the ancient tree, and naturally the hunter became the target of public criticism. The villagers forced the hunter to demolish the incense temple, but the hunter refused to do so, but when the hunter's parents forced each other to die in front of the hunter. The hunter took a hammer and a hatchet and went into the mountains. Some villagers were not at ease, so they secretly followed, watching from a distance as the hunters smashed the incense temple.

I also saw the hunter cut off his legs with a knife, disfigured his face, and wiped his neck. I also saw that the old tree had exhausted a few leaves from its branches in order to keep the hunters aside. The villagers brought the hunter's body back to the village and buried it hastily. Well, that's the end of the story. "The old man may have said so much in one breath that his mouth was a little dry and he swallowed saliva. The Adam's apple on the old man's thin neck rolled up and down, and his originally dark face looked pale under the moonlight, and Gu Changsheng shivered when he saw it. The old man seemed to realize that he was scaring Gu Changsheng, so he grinned and asked, "Does the little brother have anything else to ask?"

Gu Changsheng also realized his gaffe, so he also smiled at the old man awkwardly and asked, "What about the hunter's parents?" forced his own child to death, although it was unintentional, but after all, it had something to do with him, and the white-haired man sent the black-haired man, the hunter's parents must be unhappy.

"Hehe, naturally it's not a good death, he died on the day that kid was buried, and he can't die anymore, he may have been a lonely ghost. Hey, hey, hey" The old man suddenly had gloomy eyes, stiffly hooked the corners of his mouth, and smiled, Gu Changsheng suddenly felt terrified, and the hairs on his whole body counted down. The green turtle in the backpack on his back suddenly came out and lay on Gu Changsheng's shoulder. Just when Gu Changsheng wanted to put the burden in the house, he was stopped by Lao Li, Gu Changsheng was still a little puzzled at the time, and now it seems that it is strange.

The old man suddenly became so weird, Gu Changsheng felt the wind behind him, but looking at Lao Li, Lao Li's eyes signaled that he was fine, and Gu Changsheng also settled down a little in his heart, pretending to sit calmly.

The atmosphere was suddenly a little weird, and Gu Changsheng had no choice but to continue to ask: "More than ten years ago, there was no food in the field, what have you eaten all these years, old man?" As soon as he finished speaking, Gu Changsheng had a premonition that he shouldn't ask this sentence.

"Hehe, little brother, little old man also asked you? Did little brother in the house just now deliberately suggest that we come out to chat, so as to save some lamp oil for little old man? hehe" The old man did not answer Gu Changsheng, but asked this question, and a strange laugh still came out of his throat.

"The old man is as wise as a torch, I have such thoughts, but it is also because of the two fasts outside. Gu Changming replied.

"Hehe, the little brother is so kind-hearted, so I guess I don't mind saving a meal for the little old man. Hehe" The old man said something inexplicable, and Gu Changming thought to himself that he had refused the old man's cooking tonight.

"Old woman, hehe, it's time to eat, I'm hungry. Hey," the old man suddenly shouted into the house.

"Hey, brother, wait a minute, brother, don't be busy with dinner first, there are a few things you just said that are wrong, let the old brother say it first, and then it's not too late to eat" Lao Li suddenly took the old man's hand and said.

"Oh, brother, you say, hehe" The old man still smiled very grimly.
