Chapter Seventy-Three: Wood, Crying Wood
Taking care of Lin Yue is Jiang Shu's redemption for himself, so that the pain he has been buried in his heart can be slightly reduced.
Although Jiang Shu and Lin Yue were doing well in Cloud City these days, he had already made up his mind that he couldn't let Lin Yue stay here for a long time.
Because Jiang Shu is still relatively "mixed" in this part of the city, he sometimes takes Lin Yue out with him, at first the little girl refused, because she was afraid of it, but then she was not so afraid after going out once or twice.
No, on this day, Lin Yue also went out with Jiang Hou.
When Jiang Shu was talking to others, she wouldn't interject, just listen quietly, and if she had any doubts, she would ask Jiang Shu after she went back.
"So, old man, do you know why all the wood that was sent to me since the other day has been replaced?"
Lin Yue knew that Jiang Shu was asking about that, that is, the wood that had been sent to their Yizhuang since a few days ago was not the wood of the kind of tree they had been using.
Although it is not a big deal to change the wood, it is sure to know the reason if you are as careful as Jiang Shu.
He has walked the rivers and lakes alone for many years, and what he relied on to survive, in addition to gunnery, is his meticulous mind.
And Lin Yue's thoughts are the same as her master's, always thinking more than ordinary people.
From this point of view, she and her master are still ...... It's really a pair of master and apprentice.
"Haven't you changed it recently?"
"Crying mourning wood, uncle, don't fool me, not to mention that the wood that you sent to my Yizhuang from you recently has really changed, even my little apprentice can see it at a glance, and in the past, we used to use the only long wood in Cloud City, where did the crying mourning wood come from. ”
This is a strange name, Lin Yue thought to herself.
"That's right!" the old man clapped his hands, "the 'Wood' you said is its proper name, and we call it 'Crying Mourning Wood' anyway." ”
"Oh?" Jiang Shu only frowned slightly, then smiled again, "Why do you still have such a nickname?" ”
"It's all wood for the dead, and it's bad luck. You said that it was changed recently, but in fact it was not changed, it was still a mourning tree, but it was a variant that was sent to you recently. ”
"Variant" means that the previous one and the current one are both wood, but it was a prototype before, and the most recent one was a mutant of wood?
It's not surprising that there are multiple variations of a tree, but why have they been changed recently?
"Haha, uncle, let's talk more, I don't know why you changed the previous one recently. Jiang Shu said to the old man with a smile.
"I don't know very well, this," the old man pointed his finger upward, "it was changed by the above." ”
"Oh, uncle, what's the difference between what you said and what you didn't. ”
"Xiao Jiang, if you just ask Lao Yu again, Lao Yu doesn't know more. But why it was changed, the reason for the decay can be guessed. ”
"Oh, I'd like to listen to my uncle's advice. ”
"Crying Mourning Wood, you just came to our Cloud City not long ago, so I don't know why it's called 'Crying Mourning Wood'.
It is said that the dead man who is made of this mourning wood can hear the crying and mourning of his relatives when he lies in, crying and howling and telling you to hurry up and go on the road, don't be greedy for the world, don't stay in the body anymore, so that the buried relatives can bury an empty body in the soil, so that there is still a remnant soul left in the coffin, and then it will be trapped in the underground soil and cannot get out, and the soul will always stay in the body and cannot be reincarnated. ”
"And that said?"
"Yes, there has always been, otherwise it is called crying mourning wood, but who knows what happens after this person dies, only the dead know it, who knows if you can hear the crying and mourning sound when you lie down in it. ”
The old man paused for a moment: "The mutant mourning tree that was sent to you a few days ago, the one who planted the tree told me that it was a more effective mourning tree." ”
