Chapter 590

It turns out that some time ago, Zhang Henshui had a tummy one night and went to the toilet by the moonlight. When he was squatting in the pit, he heard someone crying.

But the voice was intermittent. At first, Zhang Henshui thought it was the wind, so he didn't take it seriously. After diarrhea, I went to the house, but I felt a rustle of footsteps behind me, as if someone was following me.

Zhang Huaiyin thought it was a thief at home. After a few steps, he turned around and found that there was no one behind him. When he was going to enter the room, the light in his eyes suddenly found that his shadow was followed by a shadow!

He couldn't help swallowing his saliva and said after a pause: "when I look more carefully, the shadow flickers and disappears. I thought it was a daze. As a result, from that day on, every night I dream of a man in a robe... "

Zhang Henshui said that he had never seen the face of the robe man, but could always hear his cry.

Then he smacked his tongue and asked me if Pockmarked Li and I had brought him to jump into the river?

"Almost." I nodded and asked him to take us home.

Zhang Henshui looked at the yellow cloth bundle on my back and immediately understood the identity of me and Pockmarked Li. He quickly got up from the ground to lead the way for us.

When I got to the entrance of the village, I saw a big man close his eyes and lean against the tree to enjoy the cool. He looked very comfortable.

Zhang Henshui's face changed as soon as he saw the man. He ran up in a hurry and shook his arm. However, the man was completely unresponsive like a wooden post.

"No!"

Zhang Henshui claps his thigh fiercely. Then he runs to the river and breaks a wicker from the willow tree. He fights fiercely on the big man.

Three times later, the big man opened his eyes, looked at Zhang Henshui with a confused face and shouted, "what are you doing to hit me?"

"I'm saving your life."

Zhang Henshui was relieved when he woke up, which explained to us.

It turns out that there is a rule passed down from generation to generation in this village: people in the village can't stay at the entrance of the village at noon and at night.

There were many people who didn't believe this evil before, especially in the 1960s, the red guards from outside insisted that several farmers rest under the big locust tree at the entrance of the village after finishing their work. As a result, these farmers drowned in succession in the next few days.

Later, some naughty children played under the big locust tree, but they disappeared after playing. Finally, the villagers found their wet shoes by the river

Zhang Henshui said that he stroked the willow in his hand here, saying that this was also the way for his ancestors to stay. If someone was unconscious under the tree, he would quickly take the willow to his body for three times, and then he could rescue him.

The big man came from other places to help people build houses in the village. After hearing this, his face changed again and again. Thanks for our help, he ran away quickly. After he left, I couldn't help but look at the big locust tree.

The willow itself is Yin, but it can ward off evil spirits. It is said that the willow essence has been accepted by Avalokitesvara and then purified in the Yujing bottle, so it has spirit.

No matter whether the legends Zhang Henshui said are true or false, since he can wake up the big man with willow branches, it means that the big man did run into evil under this locust tree.

At this point, I can really see that there is a layer of black fog around the whole body of the locust tree. The closer it is to the root, the more dense the black fog is. Moreover, the luxuriant branches of the locust tree don't seem to be occupied by dirt at all, but rather like a corpse tree.

The corpse tree refers to the tree that is born after the corpse of human or small animals rots and merges with the plant seeds buried in the ground. This kind of tree has a strong Yin Qi, and it's probably not very long!

In many places, it will be found that some trees are hit by thunder, and the whole bark is black. These trees are all corpse trees that are about to be refined, and they have not been able to avoid the scourge.

But it's easy to deal with the corpse and the tree. I just need to dig the tree out. I asked Zhang Henshui why he didn't dig the tree?

"That won't do!"

Zhang Henshui's eyes stared and his head turned into a rattle. He said that as long as it is not close to the tree, the tree will not harm people, and in disaster years, people in other places will not be able to eat, only under the big locust tree there will continue to be game.

Therefore, the villagers have consecrated this pagoda tree as a tree god for generations. They are both respectful and fearful!

After I heard it, I got a general idea. It's like inviting the fox fairy. I know that offending the fox fairy will be punished, but many places will still invite it.

This is the choice of the villagers themselves, and also the cultural heritage of a region. I have no reason to say anything more, and let Zhang Henshui continue to lead the way.

Soon we arrived at Zhang Henshui's house. His wife heard that Pockmarked Li and I were here to help and gave us a warm welcome.

Zhang Henshui has a three-year-old daughter, who is sitting on the threshold playing with dolls. Pockmarked Li may think of Xiao Nianchu and sit beside her to play with the little girl.

I'm not as optimistic as Pockmarked Li. As soon as I enter the room, I feel flustered. But there's nothing sinister in the room at noon. I can't see it when I turn around with the compass for several times. So it seems that I can only observe it at night.In the afternoon, we stayed at home. Pockmarked Li and the little girl enjoyed themselves very much. I just found a cool room to rest.

In the evening, Zhang Henshui's daughter-in-law prepared a meal for us to eat. I got up and washed my face. Turning around, I found that Pockmarked Li had sat there to eat without politeness, but I didn't see the trace of Zhang Henshui.

"Sister in law, isn't brother Zhang at home?" I asked casually.

Zhang Henshui's daughter-in-law waved and said, "brother, you eat first. Lao Zhang has gone out to pick watermelons for you. In summer, eat more watermelons to cool off the summer heat..."

But as she said it, she also muttered, "this old Zhang is becoming more and more unreliable. He can't come back for half a day to pick a watermelon."

After hearing this, I felt something was wrong. Zhang Henshui was made to jump into the river by that thing when he went out at noon, let alone in the evening. Besides, according to his daughter-in-law, he has been out for most of the day.

Thinking of this, I picked up the pockmarks that were eating at Hesse and rushed out. Pockmarked Li was a little shocked, then he came back and asked me how to explain to his daughter-in-law if Zhang Henshui had already driven the crane West.

"Go to your uncle, and you will drive the crane West!"

I didn't scold him very well, but I was more worried. I ran to the place where Zhang Henshui jumped into the river in the daytime.

No matter the robed man in Zhang Henshui's dream or the old locust tree in the village, the way to kill people can't be separated from this river, so if he is really in danger now, he must be by the river!

When I came to the river, I found that the river was very calm without any water.

Li Mazi gasped and asked if we were late or worried?

I did not speak, desperately in the river to find up, and finally in a pile of soil next to see a pool of water stains and Zhang Henshui's clothes.

These clothes were torn to pieces, as if he had experienced a fierce fight before falling into the water. Seeing this, Pockmarked Li didn't talk nonsense. He took off his clothes and jumped down.

I can't help but be happy for a while. My heart says that Pockmarked Li is good for this. He has a short mouth and a short hand. It's easy to do things after eating other people's food!

Then I sat down cross legged and recited the Tao Te Ching. As the day turned dark and the river became colder, heaven knew what was going to be in it? Reciting scriptures can frighten them and buy time for Pockmarked Li.

After nearly five minutes, there was no movement on the river, and I was not in the mood to recite scriptures. I got up in a hurry and shouted in the direction where Pockmarked Li jumped down: "pockmarked, how about it? No, come on up! "

I didn't respond even after shouting for several times. I was nervous for fear that Pockmarked Li would drown here, but I didn't know how to swim, so I had to stamp on the shore.

A few minutes later, I looked at the calm water, my eyes turned red, and I felt the end of Pockmarked Li in my subconscious!
