Chapter 24: The Burning Burning Man

Not just hanging from the tree, he turned his head and gave her an eerie smile.

It's like a ghost in a supernatural horror movie.

When people saw it, they couldn't help but scream, and they were so frightened that they were terrified.

Rao is Shen Zhiwei's temperament is calm enough, and he was also shocked by this sudden change, his heart jumped violently, and his palms were sweating.

She froze, and looked at the white-clothed hanged ghost again, where only an empty garment was left swaying slightly in the cool breeze, and there was no strange man suspected of being a demon, nor anything else.

At this time, Yang Nianhua's voice came into his ears: "...... Man, Miss Three deliberately scared me. Yang Nianhua said with a smile, "The eldest mother has lived for thirty years, and she is a Xuan Master, so she is not afraid of your scare." ”

Shen Zhiwei secretly wondered in her heart, only she saw a man?

Also, if someone next to him sees a man hanging from a tree smiling at himself, how can he not be afraid and not scream?

She was not afraid of ghosts, and suspected that the ghost she saw in her eyes was a ghost pretending to be a ghost, so she squinted her eyes and carefully looked at the white dress hanging on the tree, but unfortunately she couldn't see anything.

"Sansan?" Shen He thought of his sister's pale face, "What's wrong with you?"

"The white clothes that my mother pointed out to me really scared me. Shen Zhiwei looked at the turquoise willow stream, withdrew his gaze to find the raft to cross the river, and pushed Yang Nianhua with his hand to hold his arm, "Let's go." This place is a bit strange and not suitable for a long stay. ”

Everyone went back and forth to Zhuangzi.

In front of Zhuangzi, the one-horned white rhinoceros and the animal cart were ready, and the maids who came with them also sat in the cart, whispering about the reason why the brother and sister had to return to the city as soon as they arrived in Zhuangzi. Xiaoyu was placed in the beast car, and when she saw Shen Zhiwei and her party through the window, she immediately pushed away the maid beside her and jumped out of the car to find her.

Some of the villagers stood in front of the door, but they did not dare to point fingers, but they never stopped talking and whispering.

Shen Zhiwei was picked up by Xiaoyu and spun around, she smiled and hammered his shoulder: "Okay, let me down first, I still have something to do." ”

Xiaoyu obediently put her down and held her hand.

"Stick to my sister again!" Shen He was dissatisfied, "You are like a puppy, you go around Sansan, I don't know if she is annoying, but I am annoying." ”

"He's not sensible, don't run him. ”

Shen Zhiwei said.

She was accustomed to Xiaoyu's dependence, and looked in the crowd, but did not find Zheng Sanlang.

called the guards to ask, only to know that Zheng Sanlang was not in Zhuangzi, but took people into the peach blossom forest to find He Zhuo - two quarters of an hour had passed, but the people had not come out yet.

"Did you send someone in to find it?"

"I asked Xiaoliu to go in and look for it just now. ”

"He's the only one?"

"Yes. The guard explained, "The peach blossom forest is not big, if there are fierce beasts hiding in it, or if there is any other accident, just shout casually, we can hear it here." ”

Shen Zhiwei asked in displeasure, "Uncle Zheng didn't come out, you didn't call him?"

"Shouted, but the people here say that the Peach Blossom Forest is a strange place. The guard scratched the back of his neck and wondered, "Zhuangzi can hear firecrackers when people set off firecrackers in the peach blossom forest, but when Zhuangzi sets off firecrackers here, people in the peach blossom forest can't hear them." Miss, why do you think this forest is so strange?"

Completely unaware that Zheng Sanlang might have encountered danger, he sighed when he said it, but saw Shen Zhiwei shake him off and walked quickly to the right side of Zhuangzi.

There is a red brick and stone road that leads to the ancestral hall of Liuhe Village, located below the peach blossom forest.

Two villagers chatted at the intersection about the grandeur of the farm's owner's house.

One said that pouring night incense at Shen Zhiwei's house was better than building a house in Liuxi Village, and the other said that the one-horned white rhinoceros was so violent to pull the cart, and it was most appropriate to drive them to plow the fields.

They were spitting when a crisp voice suddenly interjected: "Two uncles, excuse me." ”

The two stopped talking, looked at Shen Zhiwei at the same time, and then stepped back at the same time, flattered and said: "Big, big lady, you, you ......"

Shen Zhiwei pointed to the peach forest and asked, "Who belongs to this peach forest?"

"Zhuangzi's!oh, no, yours!"

"My family's is good. Shen Zhiwei thanked the two, then waved his hand to summon Yang Nianhua and the guards, and ordered in a deep voice, "Cut down this peach forest and burn all the peach trees that have been cut down." ”

Yang Nianhua and the guards were shocked, and were just about to ask why the peach forest was destroyed, when a familiar person suddenly walked out of the peach blossom forest, and stopped Shen Zhiwei's bad intentions of destroying the environment: "Don't! Don't! Third Miss, this peach blossom forest can't be cut!"

"Oh?" Shen Zhi raised his eyebrows slightly, looking at He Zhuo.

The timing of this man's appearance was coincidental.

The timing of his disappearance was also coincidental, which led Zheng Sanlang to lead people into the peach blossom forest to look for him.

He Zhuo didn't answer Shen Zhiwei immediately, and glared at the two villagers fiercely: "You have nothing to do when you are full?" I actually chewed my tongue with the third lady, and I was not afraid that the little ghost would sew your mouth with a needle and thread in the middle of the night, so that you would not be able to speak for the rest of your life. ”

The two villagers were speechless.

He Zhuo fiercely pushed the villagers who were close to him, and scolded: "Hurry up, don't pollute Miss's eyes!" turned to look at Shen Zhiwei, squatted down and looked directly into her eyes, and said, "The third lady hasn't had her third birthday yet, right? This peach blossom forest is of great significance, it was planted by Mrs. Grande's brother, and it was given to Mrs. with this Zhuangzi to celebrate Mrs. and ......."

His words were bitter.

As a niece, she cut down the peach blossom forest that her uncle gave to her mother for no reason, how can you explain it to your uncle?

However, Shen Zhiwei just stared at him calmly, and said to Yang Nianhua and the guard: "I want to cut down the peach blossom forest, you listen to my orders, and you don't need to be responsible." ”

She was very sure that there was something wrong with the Peach Blossom Forest, and He Zhuo belonged to the insiders.

Yang Nianhua is a person who is accustomed to listening to orders, Shen Zhiwei said that the peach blossom forest was burned, and when she raised her hand, she was about to carry out the order.

Before the flames were released, the sleeves of his shirt were torn first.

Looking down, it was Shen He.

He grabbed her sleeve and shook it slightly.

This is the meaning of not doing it, Yang Nianhua understood, and beckoned the servants in the village who came over: "If you have the strength to take a knife and axe to help cut down the tree, if you don't have the strength, go and carry two barrels of fierce fire oil, this forest can't be kept." ”

"Cut down a peach tree and get a silver coin!" Shen He shouted.

The two words spoken by the two were like two slaps on He Zhuo's face, making his expression very bad.

Especially the villagers who were close to him on weekdays and the servants in the village who often touted him, they knew that he was not willing to destroy the peach blossom forest, but they still couldn't hold back the excitement on their faces, and beckoned their relatives and friends to go into battle together, and they were about to cut down the most trees and get the most reward.

There are benefits to currying favor with He Zhuo, but this benefit is not as good as the shining silver coins.

Shen Zhiwei was fed a piece of sweet gummy candy by Xiaoyu, and did not forget to observe He Zhuo with a vague gaze, and when he saw this person clenching his fists, he suddenly shouted: "What's the matter!"

"What?" He Zhuo's fist slowly loosened, his gaze fell on Shen Zhiwei, and his tone revealed a rusty sense of distance, "Third Miss, what else do you command?"

"I want to know one thing. Shen Zhiwei tilted his head to look at He Zhuo and said, "About two and a half quarters and a half ago, Uncle Zheng brought people into the forest to look for you, have you seen them?"

When the words fell, He Zhuo's face quickly changed color like a trick, and a ruthless color appeared between his eyebrows.

"He came into the woods to look for me?"

He repeated Shen Zhiwei's words word by word, almost gritting his teeth.

"Hmm. Isn't there anything wrong with that?"

Shen Zhiwei expected that He Zhuo had experienced something that he was extremely unwilling to experience in the peach blossom forest, and seeing that he was emotional, he made a gesture with the hand behind him.

Behind her stood Shen He and Yang Nianhua.

It's just that He Zhuo's patience is less than she imagined, and he laughs.

It's a weird laugh.

Because He Zhuo's mouth was smiling, his face was not smiling, and his eyes were not smiling.

He stared at her gloomily, and said very lightly: "Little Miss, I envy you very much! Look at you, you eat delicacies from the mountains and seas every day, wear silk and satin every day, live in the courtyard of the high gate every day, and have a group of slaves, carefree...... However, why are you living so well, but I have not eaten the last meal, and I am even so poor that I have to pay for my life for a handful of grain!?

Shen Zhiwei looked at He Zhuo and reached out to catch himself as he spoke.

She didn't hide.

Next to her was Xiaoyu, and behind her stood Shen He, as well as Yang Nianhua, a subordinate of Dongfang Wuyang.

As soon as He Zhuo's hand stretched out, the glowing nails had not yet turned black and extended into weapons, and Yang Nianhua's fire whip had already swept over the top of her head with a scorching breath and slammed into He Zhuo's body.

He Zhuo screamed and flew upside down, turning into a rapidly burning humanoid torch, kicking and rolling on the ground in pain.

The power of the fire was extremely terrifying, but in just two breaths, He Zhuo already emitted the smell of his skin and flesh being roasted, and the grease on his body was sizzling.

In a few moments, his howls and begs for mercy became faint, and his struggles grew slower and slower, turning from the burning man to a handful of hot ash.

He Zhuo was burned to death.

The surroundings became silent, people stopped talking, and noisy bugs and birds breathed in unison.

Only the sound of rapid breathing and swallowing saliva echoed.

Shen Zhiwei untied Xiaoyu's hand and held it, walked to the ashes scattered all over the place, took the dead branch and flicked it, and turned out a peach pit from the ashes.

She stared at the peach pit expressionlessly, was it because of the existence of this thing that He Zhuo would suddenly go crazy?

Reaching out and touching the small peach pit, it felt as cold as ice, and it was not burned by the flames at all.
