"The ghost tree is a fruit that attracts those who are greedy." Bai Ze gently tossed the rouge fruit in his hand: "And then use these people to find the object you really want to take revenge." The first to eat the cochineal fruit was the beggar of Hanayuan Temple. Beggars live by begging, and if they meet someone with a good heart, they will return with a full load, but if they can't, they will starve and freeze. The most amazing thing about this annatto is that it makes the eater feel full, according to the different physique of the person, but for more than ten days, or even a month or two without eating or drinking. ”

"I know this, and you've said it before." Bai Li nodded.

"This beggar originally discovered this cochineal fruit by accident, and he ate it with the mentality that he would rather be poisoned than starved to death, and after eating it, he found that he didn't feel hungry, if it was Li'er you, what would you think?"

"I guess I'm sick and wondering if it's poisoning, right?" Bai Li stared at the rouge fruit in Bai Ze's hand: "As the saying goes, people are iron, rice is steel, and if you don't eat a meal, you will be hungry." This inexplicably doesn't feel hungry, and of course it feels weird. If you think about it again, you will inevitably associate this strange phenomenon with the nopal fruit you have eaten before, and you will naturally think about poisoning. After all, no one has ever seen a fruit that can not be hungry. ”

"Yes, that's what the beggar thought. For him, life is already miserable, and it seems that it makes no difference to live one more day or less. Besides, this poison is different from other poisons, it doesn't hurt or itch, but it doesn't need to eat. There was no need to go out to beg, and there was no need to look at the eyes of others, and the days were like fairies to him, so he wandered around, wandering around, waiting for the ghost to come and take him after the poisonous hair. ”

"This beggar's mentality is quite good, and he can still calmly wander around when he encounters such a big thing."

"He doesn't have a good mentality, but he has the open-mindedness after experiencing the cold state of the world that others have not experienced, or he accepts his fate." Bai Ze threw the rouge fruit in his hand towards Bai Li, who hesitated for a moment and reached out to catch the fruit.

"As I said, the reason why this ghost tree turned out to be to attract those who were greedy, and then use their help to find the real object of revenge.

One day, the beggar who had eaten the annatto walked to the door of Chen's house and met Chen Ajiao, who had just come out of the house. Chen Ajiao saw that he was dressed as a beggar, thinking that he was begging for food in front of his house, so she took a leftover steamed bun to him. The beggar took the steamed bun but didn't eat it, but asked Chen Ajiao, do you believe that there are people in this world who don't feel hungry if they don't eat, let alone starve to death. Chen Ajiao naturally didn't believe it, so the beggar took out a rouge fruit from his body and handed it to Chen Ajiao.

The color of this annatto is attractive, and the smell of it makes you feel a fruity fragrance. Although Chen Ajiao was a little hesitant, she saw that the beggar was not like a bad person, and the gluttonous worms in her abdomen had been aroused by this fruit, so she generously ate the fruit. At first, Chen Ajiao didn't feel any difference, but until the evening, she didn't feel hungry, and this feeling of fullness lasted for many days.

Seven days later, the beggar appeared at the door of Chen's house again, and Chen Ajiao realized that what the beggar said to her before was not crazy. From the beggar's mouth, Chen Ajiao learned that the cochineal fruit was picked from the backyard of Huayuan Temple, so she secretly picked all the cochineal fruits in the backyard when there was no one in the Bairi Temple. In order to prevent the third party from knowing the secret, she also killed the beggar and buried the body.

Chen Ajiao got rouge, just like a big baby, and couldn't help but show off to Cheng Zijun. Cheng Zijun also tried to eat one, and soon understood that what Chen Ajiao said was true, and he always wanted to find out the origin of this rouge fruit from Chen Ajiao's mouth. Chen Ajiao is not stupid, she knows that the relationship between her and Cheng Zijun is not unbreakable, she can kill the beggar and monopolize the rouge fruit, then Cheng Zijun can also kill her for the rouge fruit.

She thought that as long as these rouge fruits were there, she would be able to force Cheng Zijun to make a decision as soon as possible. It's a pity that although Cheng Zijun covets the rouge fruit in her hand, he can't give up everything he has. In the end, because he failed to get the rouge fruit, he attacked the former red-faced Chen Ajiao.

Chen Ajiao died with hatred, and after her death, she also turned into a ghost tree and produced several rouge fruits, one of which went to Cheng Zijun's hands. ”

"This Cheng Zijun should have eaten that rouge fruit, right? Because this annatto fruit is transformed by Chen Ajiao's essence and blood, and he is the man Chen Ajiao wants to marry, so he may have some hallucinations after eating it, so he died tragically. Bai Li analyzed, but there was another problem that was not very clear. This Chen Ajiao was killed by Cheng Zijun, this Cheng Zijun is a thief, and he will not stay in the place where he killed for a long time, so who gave this rouge fruit to Cheng Zijun? Why did you give it to Cheng Zijun? Sensing these thoughts in Bai Li's heart, Bai Ze suddenly approached her and whispered, "Your master!" ”

"My master-" Bai Li looked at him dumbly, seeing that Gao Zhan and those quick eyes were all looking towards her, she hurriedly lowered her head, lowered her voice and asked Bai Ze: "In front of Gao Zhan, don't talk nonsense, my master doesn't know them, how can it be related to this matter?" Could it be that my master is greedy and wants to taste these fruits? ”

"Your master is indeed greedy, but he is not all involved in it to eat these things."

"What's that for?"

"In order not to let others eat these things." Seeing Bai Li looking at him suspiciously, Bai Ze cleared his throat and added as if flatteringly: "Of course, your master is also here to uphold justice, so that those who do evil will have evil retribution." ”

"Anyway, my master is not here, this is true or false, and it is not up to you to talk nonsense." Bai Li wrinkled his nose slightly, although he cast his eyes on Gao Zhan, but he still said to Bai Ze: "According to what you just said, the reason why this Cheng Zijun died in prison was because of Cheng Ajiao, as for this Achang, we also think that it is a small life." That...... What about the little girl? Why did she die? She's still so young, she can't have anything to do with these things, right? ”

"Her surname is Wu." Bai Ze said softly.

"The surname Wu? You mean, she's Wu Quan's daughter? No, this Wu Quan failed Miss Chu three years ago, even if at that time, Wu Quan's daughter had already been born, and now she is only three years old. That little girl doesn't look like a three-year-old child. ”

"Who told you that Wu Quan only had one daughter?" Bai Ze pulled the corners of his mouth and said slowly: "As early as when Wu Quan was a young man, he was married and gave birth to this daughter. Then, relying on the relationship of the Chu family, he changed from a young man to a shopkeeper Wu, and the original bad wife naturally looked down on him. ”
