Chapter 77: The Woman in the Tree
For some reason, the first reaction in Lu Lie's mind when he saw this tree: Maybe for the ants in this cave, this tree is equivalent to the status of the giant tree in the hearts of human beings.
He ignored the tree and continued to search for the source of the woman's voice.
"Hopelessly stupid offspring. The old woman's voice was obviously impatient, and scolded angrily, "Am I not right in front of you, why did you turn your head again?"
Lu Lieleng paused, and he focused his gaze on the big tree again: Could it be that the big tree in front of him was talking to him?
However, the big tree in front of me is completely indistinguishable from an ordinary tree, except that it is extraordinarily large and the branches are full of corpses.
He asked tentatively, "Could it be that you are always this big tree?"
"Sin deserves to be punished. ”
The woman's voice said coldly.
An icy chill rolled towards Lu Lie, and he felt the danger coming, and instinctively leaned back. But after all, he was seriously injured, and his speed was not as good as before. The branches hanging from above were faster than he receded, and a curl wrapped around his neck, pulling him slowly into the sky as if he were being hanged.
As Lu Lie's swaying feet farther away from the ground, his breathing became more and more difficult.
"You...... Fuck old woman ......"
Lu Lie's eyes were about to roll out. He only said that the other party deliberately brought him here to kill him, and he was sure to die, and before he died, he burst out with all his strength and scolded.
"If you die without repentance, your sin will be added to the degree. ”
The female voice said coldly. Those giant branches seemed to listen to the woman's voice, and at that moment, two more nearby branches trembled, "spit out" their corpses, and swung over to wrap around Lu Lie's waist and feet, putting pressure on him.
The corpses of the trees were flapping and rattling. It's like a gust of wind blowing through an uncle covered with leaves.
“%......”
Lu Lie was already in pain and was about to faint, he opened his mouth, but he didn't scold anything.
"That's enough, if you keep strangling, this kid will die. Over the years, a living person has finally been able to get here, but don't kill him so easily. ”
The female voice gave another order, and the branches full of trees were very obedient, and they let go of it at the moment, and let Lu Lie fall to the ground.
The bark of the tree suddenly changed in a strange way, like a drop of water falling into a pool, and the water circle swayed in all directions. In just a moment, the folds on the surface of the bark finally turned into the old face of an old woman, who was coldly looking down at Lu Lie, who was lying on the ground for a long time and couldn't get up. And the commanding female voices I heard before came from the mouth of this old woman.
The old woman in the tree looked very arrogant, just looked at Lu Lie at her feet condescendingly, but did not make any further movements.
Lu Lie was pinched half to death by those strange branches, and sat on the ground and coughed bitterly for a long time, and a handful of tears and snot couldn't stop covering his face. Until he took a breath, seized the gap, and scolded the old woman in the tree again: "You old lady......"
Countless branches that had been hanging down rolled up again, ready to be waved down.
Lu Lie is a good man who doesn't suffer the loss in front of him, and immediately changes his words: "It's too much, it's too much, it's too ...... So beautiful. Gosh, I've never seen a lady so elegant and dignified as you. ”
Hearing this, the corpse of the tree began to rustle again, as if it was praised by Lu Lie very happy.
The old woman's face did not have any expression: "Yellow-haired boy, don't follow me here to be oily and funny, pretending to be a ghost." I'll ask you a few questions, and if I find out that you dare to lie to me a little, the old body promises to make you suffer a lot of capital punishment that you can't even imagine. ”
Lu Lie rolled his strange eyes and thought: The cannibal owl also likes to say this sentence the most, I think you and him are very compatible.
The old woman in the tree had something to ask him, and he couldn't help but wonder why the old woman was in the tree? Is she a human being? If she is a human being, why is she locked up in a tree and can operate so many branches full of corpses? Could it be that she is practicing some miraculous feat.
If not human, what is it to kill so many people?
But now it's the old woman's fist in the tree. Now Lu Lie only answers, not questions.
"First question, what's your name and where do you come from?"
Lu Lie thought for a moment: "My name is Chao...... Lu Lie, I am a native of Jiangbei on land, my parents were killed by horse thieves when I was a child, and I wandered everywhere and made the world my home. ”
Lu Lie didn't think of making up a set of nonsense to fool this old woman. But in the end, he decided to tell the truth. First, he is not Li Yuan, Yang Wei and others, and he doesn't have too many ulterior secrets, so it doesn't hurt to tell his life experience honestly. The second is that this old woman's eyes are as keen as an eagle's owl, standing in front of her, Lu Lie has a feeling that all the secrets of her body have been seen through.
He instinctively felt that if he lied a little in front of this weird old lady, he would be easily seen through by the other party, and then kill himself without hesitation.
The old woman stared at Lu Lie with cold eyes for a long time, and only after confirming that he was not lying did she nod her head with satisfaction and continue with the second question:
"Did you climb the giant tree, how did you find here? ”
Lu Lie briefly recounted the adventures of his group and the dangers encountered on the road to her.
......
The old woman in the tree asked dozens of questions in a row, and finally, she stared into Lu Lie's eyes and asked the last question:
"Now on the land, what dynasty has arrived, and who sits in the position of today's son?"
Lu Lie thought to himself: Listening to this old woman's tone, it seems that she is no different from a human being, and she should have gone up the tree a long time ago, but she was trapped here and couldn't get out, and her experience was similar to that of Santou. Otherwise, why would she care so much about the change of dynasty on land?
But he has never been to a private school since he was a child, let alone being born in a troubled era when emperors are everywhere, and he can't even say the name of the country of the previous dynasty. Isn't this question of the old lady deliberately making things difficult for people?
But fortunately, it is difficult for Lu Lie, he has been articulate since he was a child, and roughly described the scene of the warlord melee on land to the old lady, what are the major forces, the names of the major city lords, and several important battles, either adapt and paraphrase the words of the storyteller heard in the teahouse, or completely rely on his own brain. Under Lu Lie's words, a chaotic era of chaotic army and chaos was also vivid, and he vividly described it.
The old woman nodded in satisfaction. Originally, she just wanted to have a general understanding of the historical trajectory of the outside world, and she didn't really expect Lu Lie to clearly recount the changes in the world over the past few hundred years. You know, this kind of thing can only be done by an old pedant who has studied hard for ten years, and it would be strange if such a stunned boy could do it.
