Maybe it rained twice yesterday. The ground was wet and very muddy. The air in the woods was extremely hot. Our clothes were soon wet by sweat.

Fortunately, in order to develop, the workers in Dasu have cut down most of the trees nearby, which is just a way to go!

It's quiet all around. There are only four of us breathing heavily. I think it's a little strange, but I can't remember where it is.

Soon we came to the mountainside. There was a tall ancient tree in front of us. Its branches were twisty and vigorous, and its leaves were particularly lush. But the whole tree sends out a black evil spirit, which makes the surrounding air cool and suffocating.

The branches and trunks are covered with bright red strips of cloth. Although there is no wind, the strips are flying rhythmically, like a tentacle luring you forward. Old fat's body has been taken down. Except for the gloom, the whole tree is nothing wrong.

I walked slowly to the nearest place, and saw that there was indeed a gap on the tree trunk of the vicissitudes of life, which should have been cut by the workers under Dasu's hands with axes before. At the moment, that wound has scabbed, which makes me can't help but stare.

I beckoned for Pockmarked Li. Pockmarked Li stared and looked again and again. The wine strength suddenly reduced a lot. He turned around the old tree for two times, and said, "it's really weird!"

Old fat asked excitedly, "what's weird?"

Pockmarked Li smiled awkwardly: "I haven't seen it yet!"

Old fat was unstable and almost fell on the spot.

I slowly put my hand on the tree trunk, closed my eyes and felt its breath. As a result, the palm could feel the rhythm of blood flow under the thick bark.

This tree is really different. It should have been refined.

Pockmarked Li looked at me for two eyes: "what can I do, brother Zhangjia? Or cut it off! "

As he said, he swung his axe, just waiting for my order to start. But at this time, the whole old tree suddenly made a sharp hiss, as if there was a hurricane rolling the leaves of the noise, but fell into our ears, but more like an old man angry hiss.

Big Su is frightened by the voice. If it wasn't for old fat to hold him fast, he would have run.

Pockmarked Li was also frightened and threw away the axe in his hand: "I'm joking. Don't take tree God seriously!"

This is my advice!

It seems that the tree has become conscious and can even understand our words. It's very likely that it will cause us trouble if we do something rashly.

It's better to keep your energy up and try not to rush for success before you know the context.

"Go down the mountain!" As soon as I finished speaking, Dashu had broken away from the old fat and rushed down the mountain without turning back. "This coward!" laughed Pockmarked Li

Pockmarked Li, who gives you confidence to say such things? How good can you be?

It's easy to go up and down the mountain, and the road is muddy. When we stumble to the bottom of the mountain, it's almost dark. There was still no sound in the silent forest. As soon as I stopped, I finally realized where the strange place was.

Pockmarked Li looked at me perplexedly. "What's wrong with you, brother Zhang?"

I was so engrossed in what was going on around me that I said, "don't you think it's strange?"

"Strange, what's strange?" Old fat looked around uneasily.

"It's too quiet. There's no sound." I whispered.

Li Mazi rolled his white eyes without a word: "isn't that bullshit? It's not developed here. There's no one else except the four of us. It's weird to have a voice. "

I sighed, "I'm not talking about people's voices, I'm talking about animals. The forest covers a large area, so it should live a lot of animals. But when I walk down the circle, I find that there are not only no large animals in the forest, nor even birds, nor even spiders and insects... "

When I said this, Pockmarked Li immediately responded, "that's right! After you say that, it's really strange that I haven't even seen an ant grasshopper. "

Old fat still didn't respond: "what can that say?"

"It means that there are some terrible things living in the forest. Other creatures dare not come near and choose another place to live. Or all the creatures in the forest have been killed... "

When I said that, Lao Fei understood.

He turned white and asked nervously, "well Shall we be all right? "

I patted him peacefully on the shoulder: "let's go down the mountain first! Don't you think the people in the surrounding villages live well? It can be seen that only this forest is weird, and it's safe outside. "

Old fat listened to me say this, hurriedly quickened the pace, dragging heavy body to catch up with big Su.

Pockmarked Li is quite disdainful of his behavior: "what kind of person is he who leaves his friends behind?"

I took a look at him: "and you are a kind of person!"Angrily, Pockmarked Li called out, "I'm not. Pockmarked Li can stand up for justice! You can't deny my value if I shed my blood for you and go up the mountain and down the sea of fire. "

Value? Are you?

After returning to the construction site, Dasu was still shocked. He asked me cautiously, "there is something wrong with that tree! Let's hurry! We can't stay here much. Something must happen. "

Old fat comforted him and said, "don't panic. Since Jiu Lin has been asked to do this, let's listen to his arrangement."

I thought for a moment and said, "it's too late. We live here today. Tomorrow I want to go to the nearby village to find out the clues about this tree. Maybe I can know its details. "

Old fat is obedient to my words and immediately nods in favor of me: "OK, that's it!" It can be seen that he wants to solve the problem as soon as possible.

Li Mazi said to me in a low voice: "brother, that tree is not an ordinary tree, and we have been dealing with Yin things. Obviously, this tree has nothing to do with Yin things. It's easy for you to get in trouble."

I raised my eyebrows at him: "how do you know it has nothing to do with yin? I have a feeling that this tree has absolutely something to do with Yin. "

The sheds are all ready-made. Although most of the workers have left, they may walk suddenly. There are still bedding left in the simple house. The old fat said, "I just looked at it. There is no water and food here, or I will go to the nearby village to buy some food?"

I shook my head: "anyway, I'm going to go there tomorrow morning, so don't scare them. We can't deal with a night without death! "

Old fat promised to come down. Fortunately, there are two boxes of mineral water in the trunk of Dasu's car. Although there is nothing to eat, everyone eats a lot at noon, which is not too hungry.

I and Pockmarked Li didn't sleep all night in order to catch the plane. At that time, they were sleepy. Although the environment was bad, we fell asleep soon.

In my sleep, I suddenly felt a rustle in my ear.

I woke up in a flash. The walls of the simple shed were covered with thick roots!
