Chapter 8: The Old Man Under the Tree

Zhou Qian looked at me with wide eyes, and asked angrily, "Are you boys all dirty?" ”

"You...... What do you mean? I was surprised.

"Don't think I don't know, Li Anwei and Wang Lei are interesting to Zhao Jia, they wanted to bully Zhao Jia last night, right?"

I scratched my head in embarrassment and blushed.

When I was in the hospital, I had already asked very vaguely, but I didn't expect her to hear the meaning of her words.

"What does it have to do with me when they are dirty?" I argued.

"Cut! You walked with me alone last night, and you may have thought something about me. Zhou Qian clenched her fists and said viciously, "I'm not like Zhao Jia is a good girl, if you mess with me, I can abolish you with one punch." ”

Looking at Zhou Qian's appearance, I couldn't help laughing. With her head, I really have bad intentions, she resisted?

However, it's really cute.

We stayed at Yangmei's house until it was almost dark, Yangmei pulled Zhou Qian to cook, and I squatted at the door, looking at the big locust tree opposite.

Since my incident with Sister Fang, it is impossible for my eyes to see things wrong. The earth-shattering thunder last night, that black shadow, is definitely real.

But what the hell is that?

Is there really something unclean in this village?

Subconsciously felt a chill behind me, a layer of goosebumps on my back, and when I looked back, Yangmei's grandmother suddenly appeared behind me.

"Little baby, what are you doing squatting at the door, why don't you sit in the house and watch TV." Grandma Yangmei asked with a smile.

"Grandma, I'm afraid that this big locust tree in your village will be some years old, and it will grow so big." I asked.

"That's not it, I heard the girl's grandfather say that the big locust tree has been around for more than a hundred years, and it is the auspicious tree of our village, the guardian saint."

Grandma Yangmei opened the conversation box and talked to herself.

"Most of the men in the village went out to fight, and many people died. In our village, there is only the village chief and his father, and when his father came back, he brought back a lot of ashes jars, which can be regarded as falling leaves and returning to the roots. ”

"You're young, you don't know that there are people who have died elsewhere, let alone ashes, and many bodies have not been found. Listening to the village chief's father, he also deserved to die, the bullets pierced him, and he survived. ”

Later, when he was asked to identify the corpses, he was like being led away, and found all the corpses of the people in the village. At night he also sat in a dream, he sat under the big locust tree, smoking leaves with a group of old men. ”

I looked up and glanced at the locust tree again, but I didn't notice anything out of the ordinary. There is absolutely no problem with this tree, but it has been a little longer and has been taken care of well, so it grows well.

But everything has a spirit, and some things are uncertain.

As the sky grew darker, smoke rose from the chimneys of the village's tiled houses, and every house was closed.

It seems that the matter of the old man Shan scared them a lot. If that's what they say, I probably already know what's going on.

However, it is only a guess, and it will not be verified until it gets dark.

Grandma Yangmei is still old after all, and after a few more words, she looks a little tired. I said something not to go out at night, and went back to the house.

I sat on the threshold in a daze, and at this moment, I suddenly saw a figure sitting under the big locust tree opposite.

I stood up abruptly and looked at the old man under the big locust tree. Yes, it was an old man with a big cigarette stick in his mouth, smoking, and his face was full of wrinkles, and I could see it clearly.

"Hoo ......"

I let out a long exhale, and in the blink of an eye, the old man was gone.

"What the hell is it?"

My heart beat a little faster, and I was a little timid, but I couldn't help but walk towards the big locust tree. Although I didn't learn the skills of my grandparents.

But I believe that my grandparents will not lie to me, in this world, there are no ghosts at all, there are really ghosts, but there are ghosts in people's hearts.

As the saying goes, everyone in the world is afraid of ghosts, but ghosts never hurt anyone. We are not afraid of people, but we are bruised all over our bodies.

I walked on the ridge and strode under the big locust tree. The old man just now was gone, and he didn't notice anything unusual.

Just as I was about to turn away, I suddenly saw a few very fine yellow hairs on the ground.

I crouched down and picked up one with my hands, it was very thin. If it weren't for the changes in my body, it would be really hard to see with the naked eye.

"What the hell is this hair?"

I looked carefully at the yellow hair in my hand, it was not from the cat, the smell was wrong, this thing had a strange smell. I can't tell you what it smells like, it's a little pungent, but I can't help but want to smell more.

I searched around, but I couldn't find anything other than a few yellow hairs. I also didn't feel a ghost nearby.

The closest to the big locust tree is the village chief's house, and his house is very peaceful and there is nothing abnormal.

Since there is nothing harmful, there is no need for me to continue to delve into it.

The sky gradually darkened, and I saw two figures on the ridge not far away. He has a flashlight, a clip in his hand, and a pocket for fertilizer on his waist.

It seems that there are still those who have the courage to come out and clip yellow eels, looking at the age of the two, they are not a few years older than me, they should be young people who have dropped out of school and have nothing to do at home.

This kind of child is not uncommon in our countryside, the parents work outside, the school grades are not good, the grandparents can't control it, and they drop out of school early and have nothing to do at home.

How do I know that? Because they dye their hair, after all, in our era, dyeing hair, wearing studs, hair is very flowing, it is a symbol of the times.

The light of the flashlight was getting dimmer and they were getting farther and farther away from me, and I thought about things and walked towards the entrance of the village.

After all, when I came, I had a feeling of palpitations at the entrance of the village. Old man Shan is buried at the foot of the mountain diagonally opposite the entrance of the village, if my guess is correct.

You should be able to find Zhao Jia tonight.

Originally, I planned to let Zhou Qian go with me, so I asked her if she wanted to play something exciting. After all, I was scared myself, and I wasn't sure that my conjecture would be correct.

So I'd better go by myself, anyway, I also have some self-defense skills, if you really want to encounter evil spirits, it's no problem to escape.

"Help, help."

Suddenly a man's voice came from the field, and I strode forward, only to see a boy with dyed hair running towards me.

I guess he saw me, he ran faster, and the pockets on his body were all gone.

"Big brother, what's wrong with you." I asked in a calm voice, blocking his way.

It was rude for him to shine the light of his flashlight directly in my face. It was as if he was making sure that I wasn't a human being.

It wasn't until it was confirmed that I was relieved. He asked, panting as he put his hands on his thighs.

"You...... Are you human? ”
