Stepping on the thick snow, I ran to the east of the village with one foot deep and one foot shallow, and I didn't know how many times I fell along the way, and finally stumbled into the mountain and found the old locust tree that several people hugged together.

The tree is still the same, there are no green leaves in the dream, there are no red flowers in the tree, and I don't see the little girl in white.

I was stunned, if the dream was fake, then where did the crystal clear red beads in my hand come from?

If the dream is true, why don't you see the trees full of green leaves and red flowers? And that little girl?

Isn't it the tree?

But I didn't think that there was such a big locust tree in the nearby mountains, and the old locust tree in front of me was full of strange-shaped holes, which were clearly the one in my dream.

My head was dazed, the grogginess just now hit again, the mountain wind blew tightly, and I shivered from the cold, so I thought it was better to go back first and then make plans.

I turned to leave, and out of the corner of my eye, I swept over the tree, and suddenly I realized that something was wrong with the tree, something different from before!

When I looked closely, I found that the trunk of the tree was close to the ground, and there were many arm-thick branches, but now why are they bare? What about tree branches?

When I got closer and looked closer, I saw that there were many broken thin branches under the old locust tree, and then I saw that there were many sawn scars on the trunk, and I don't know who sawed off those arm-thick branches.

I paddled the snow under the tree with my foot, and sure enough, I saw a lot of sawfoam, and there was still a faint fragrance.

Suddenly, I slapped my head and remembered! It's Zhang Carpenter, I went to his house yesterday, and when I entered the door, I saw a lot of arm-thick branches in the yard, and there was a faint fragrance, which was this smell, and it turned out that those branches were on this old locust tree!

Remembering the weird dream last night, and the fact that many children in the village lost their souls, it seems that this matter is not simple!

I hurried to the village and went to Carpenter Zhang to ask for clarification.

Going down the mountain is even bald and slippery, but it is much faster than going up the mountain, but it is a bit of a waste of pants, and it is also a waste of ......

After a while, I trotted to Carpenter Zhang's house, and before I could knock on the door, it happened that Carpenter Zhang opened the door and was about to come out, in a hurry.

When he saw that it was me, his face was happy, he hugged my arm, and dragged him into the house without saying anything, and said excitedly as he walked: "Big nephew, take a look at your brother in my family, last night it was very good to use your tricks, and he can eat and make, and he slept well all night, and he didn't make any trouble at all, can you show me again!" ”

I followed Carpenter Zhang into the house, and I saw Xiaohu sitting on the kang, grabbing a big pig's trotter and making it, and the one that was gnawed was called a fragrant incense, and I was so hungry to see it!

Where there is still a disease, there is also a gluttony!

I told Carpenter Zhang that his son was fine, and he couldn't keep his mouth shut, and praised me for my ability, worthy of being my master and apprentice.

His five big and three thick daughter-in-law also grinned happily, and when she came up, she wanted to hug me, scaring me enough, and I couldn't have nightmares at night when she hugged me.

When I thought of the dream, I suddenly remembered what I was doing at his house, so that he could not forget it.

I quickly got up and went to the courtyard, and I saw a large pile of arm-thick branches in the corner, just like yesterday, but a thick layer of snow had fallen, and a faint fragrance seemed to be unable to cover it.

Carpenter Zhang followed me in confusion, not knowing what I wanted to do.

"Uncle, are your branches from the old locust tree in the east mountain of the village?" I asked him straight to the point.

"Hey, white boy, you're really a god! How do you know? Can you pinch it? Carpenter Zhang asked me with a puzzled face.

Seeing him admit it, I shuddered in my heart for no reason, I don't know if it was blown by the wind or what.

"That old locust tree is hundreds of years old, does the tree have a big spirit? It's okay, what are you messing with it for? How can you not get it on the wood to make furniture, uncle? "When I remembered what had happened, I was angry and counted him down.

Carpenter Zhang scratched his head, a little incomprehensible, and explained to me: "I don't lack wood, mainly because I am afraid that the children will climb up and fall down and have accidents. ”

I seemed to be a little frowning in my heart, and quickly asked him, "Who climbed the tree?" What did you do? ”

"I don't know very well, I was leaving my house to do work a while ago, and the old grandson boy came to me and said that my little tiger card tree couldn't get down, so let me go and see. When I went, I saw Xiaohu riding on the top of the old locust tree and couldn't get up and down, and the other children might have been afraid that I would scold them and they would run away. I made a big effort to climb up and get the little tiger down. No, in a fit of anger, I sawed all the branches underneath, saving these little calves from climbing up again. ”

I understand! So that's what happened!

"Let's go, ask Xiaohu to go!" I still have some questions I want to ask clearly, so I hurried into the house to find Zhang Xiaohu.

"Huzi, tell my brother, who did you climb that old locust tree with last time, what did you do there?" I interrupted Zhang Xiaohu to nibble on the pig's trotters and asked.

"It's just a few of my size, and you big ones won't take us to play! There are Sun Xiao, Bai Ying, Liu Fei, Zhang Ming, ......" Zhang Xiaohu rubbed the sticky oil on his hands and said.

Sure enough, as I expected, they were all the ones who had an accident the night before!

"What are you doing there? Why don't you have fun in the village and run so far to climb trees? ”

"We didn't want to go at first, it was all thanks to Sun Xiao, he didn't say that there was a bird's nest on the top of the old locust tree, and he wanted to lead us to dig out the bird's nest to see if there were any little birds in the nest......"

"Did you dig it up? Where do the little birds come in the winter? Sun Xiaosilly, you are also stupid! ”

"Don't you have no bird cubs, so I touched a hand of bird poop......"

"I found the reason, the eight achievements are that the old locust tree has a spirit, you sawed off other people's arms and legs, don't look for you to be a monster! Hurry up and find all of them, and I'll break them for you! ”

As soon as Carpenter Zhang heard what I said, his face was not good, and he hurriedly agreed to run out.

After a while, the adults and children came, and Carpenter Zhang's house was suddenly crowded, and the ground was crowded.

I also took this time to go home and brought everything I needed to prepare.

Set up the offering table, place the offerings, and light the incense.

I had a few of their hapless children kneel down in front of the offering table and line up.

I wanted to recite a glittering sacrificial word of cattle batch, which also seemed to me to be more professional, and it was more or less like that, but after thinking about it for a long time, my ink was not enough to support me to do this, so I had to give up.

A few simple words, it is nothing more than asking the old locust tree not to blame a few of them, the children are young and ignorant, and they have all been punished, so they will almost pull it down.

Let a few of them kowtow and apologize, and let the adults take the children back when they are done, and go to the old locust tree to burn incense and worship if they have nothing to do.

The people in the village are simple, and these families are vying to invite me to their homes for dinner at night, and I have become a sweetheart.

When they saw that I couldn't refuse, maybe they didn't want to go, and they sent me a lot of chickens, ducks and geese, as well as a few bottles of wine.

My father and mother couldn't keep their mouths shut, but I didn't expect that I could earn benefits for them.

I remembered that the master said that making a debut to do things for others is to bear the cause and effect, you can't ask for too much money, it will affect the Dao heart, and you can't take nothing, it will break the cause and effect, and it's okay to collect some money or items appropriately. I didn't refuse, and accepted all the things that were sent by those families.

In the evening, my mother made a table of good dishes, saying that she would treat me, chicken, duck and fish, and at my strong request, she also stewed a few rotten pig's trotters.

I gnawed on the truth, inexplicably remembered the master, that bad old man doesn't know if there is rotten pig's trotters in this icy and snowy cold day, whether there is a hot kang head to sleep, when will I be able to return......

At night, I had that strange dream, it was still the old locust tree full of green leaves, the same blood-red locust flowers, the same little girl in white, but only one of the two lovely cupola horns was left, and the rest were scattered and draped, I know, it was because the beads that tied my hair were here.

Bai Nen's little face was full of grievances, crying and crying, as if she had been bullied again, and after a while, she disappeared.

I searched everywhere in my dreams, wanting to ask who the little girl in white was and what she wanted to do. But no matter how I looked, I couldn't find it, only the big locust tree dancing in the snow, with green leaves and blood-red locust flowers......

In the morning, I was woken up, and it was the families who had the accident who came, and they were all in a hurry, standing in the courtyard urging me to go and see their children.

I quickly got up, got dressed a few times, and thought about how well their children were. What's wrong with that?

After watching it, I realized that those children didn't react at all, they passed out one by one, and their souls were all lost!

What's even more weird is that the scene in the dream actually came true!

The old locust tree in the east mountain of the village, facing the cold wind and heavy snow, actually sprouted all over its body, was covered with green leaves, and bloomed with blood-red locust flowers overnight......
