C99

Ceng Xiaoqiang's face was filled with pain, he stared straight at me, the stars in his eyes even brighter than the stars in the sky.

However, this time, it was not so much an intoxicating scene, but a blinding light.

He hated me for bringing disaster to his family.

"I want to see that sapling. If possible, I want to take it with me." I took a deep breath and looked into his eyes. "I won't stay any longer."

"En!" Ceng Xiaoqiang retreated to the side, and indicated for me to enter.

The workers who helped me plant the saplings quickly came over, took a jar and hoe from a nearby wooden house, and led me to the place where the saplings were planted.

Actually, I don't think I need a hoe at all. After all, the sapling is just placed under the rotten leaves and can just reach out and pick it up.

When we walked in, I would turn my head to look at Old Master Zeng's corpse from time to time. His head was being held, and a branch that wasn't too long was stuck in his throat.

Some of the plants beside his body had dripped blood, as if they couldn't stand the weight of the blood and had fallen to the ground.

What exactly happened that caused the Old Master Zeng to decide to commit suicide, but who took away his ghost?

As I walked, I was thinking if the figure in here at night is a Tree Spirit, but I immediately overturned it. The Tree Spirit's figure, the two hundred pound bitch, and the figure in the tree shadow last night was a tall but not fat man.

Then why did that horrible thing come out the moment the Tree Spirit arrived?

"Huh?" Just when I was puzzled, the worker who helped me dig out the sapling suddenly exclaimed. In the blink of an eye, he looked at me, a little embarrassed.

Following that, he took the hoe and looked at it a few times with curiosity in his eyes.

I immediately followed to take a look, only to find that the spot where we planted the sapling yesterday, there was no trace of the sapling.

After confirming that it was here, there were still no seedlings. Then he said to me, "It's a camphor tree seedling. How about I dig up a seedling for you and ensure that you can grow it."

I shook my head. That wasn't a seedling at all, alright? I had nothing to do with planting any kind of tree.

Then he was about to look again, to see if he had dug up the wrong place, or if the other workers had gone elsewhere, when he heard a low wheezing sound under the leaves.

I quickly pushed the worker away and gently brushed away the leaves.

At the place where the sapling was buried, a transparent, almost invisible, shadow of a fat man was lying on the leaves, gasping for breath. When he saw me, hatred could be seen in his eyes, but his figure was already so weak that it was almost invisible.

Under the worker's strange gaze, I didn't dare to do much. I hastily took out a willow branch from my backpack and kept the Tree Spirit that could only vent its anger.

Then, he looked at Ceng Xiaoqiang who was standing beside the Old Master Zeng, and pulled the worker along as he walked out: "How many years has it been since the rearing of the sapling forest? Why did you say yesterday that the seedlings here have to be moved when they grow up? It doesn't seem too good to always raise seedlings in a place, does it? "

The worker looked at me strangely. "Didn't Xiao Qiang tell you?" he chuckled. "It's not a bad idea to raise saplings in this forest. However, no matter what kind of sapling it is, as long as you can find it, it will definitely grow big and then die."

"It is said that this place is used as a nursery for seedlings by the Old Master Zeng because there are no large trees growing here." The worker laughed as he spoke, "But this place is really good for raising seedlings, no matter how difficult it is to grow plants or trees, they would sprout 100% here. If not, senior Chen would not have gone anywhere before, why would he choose this place to plant his rose bushes? It's because of the benefits of raising seedlings!"

At this point, the worker realized that what he said was not right. With a slight cough, he turned around and left in a hurry.

I was listening in a daze, there was actually such a strange thing about this Nurturing forest, but yesterday, Ceng Xiaoqiang pulled on me, clearly not allowing me to ask.

Thinking about Old Master Zeng's past, his indifferent attitude towards Uncle Chen when he died last night, and his understanding of Tian Tian's background, I knew that old man was definitely not a simple master.

Just then, the police arrived and the Director Ding moved on, but I didn't think that the one who would take over would be Captain Yang.

One must know that when we were at the city police station, he had just solved the problem of Yang Wei's corpse with me, so why did he follow us here?

Captain Yang saw that I was there too, so he greeted the people by the side and walked towards me: "I feel that it's more reasonable to follow you. After all, wherever you go, the matter will go."

Did he take me for Conan?

You blame me for having such a physique?

"It's Ceng Xiaoqiang's father? How could he suddenly commit suicide? " Captain Yang didn't really understand much about this matter after all, so he looked at me with suspicion.

"Director Ding actually agreed to your transfer? I am not afraid of your — "I looked at Captain Yang, who was originally the head of a criminal investigation team. Now, my face was filled with curiosity." After all, it is very dangerous to follow me. "

"I know, Master said following you is the safest option." Captain Yang's face showed some doubt, but he patted my shoulder and turned away, ignoring me.

I watched a policewoman in police uniform help Ceng Xiaoqiang's mom up and then watch others take his body away. Ceng Xiaoqiang watched from the start to the end, but he didn't even look at me.

I followed the workers out of the rearing forest, and then called Tian Tian over to let her see if there was anything wrong with the rearing forest.

"The life force here is very strong." Tian Tian peeked again and again before coming to this conclusion.

I told her about the workers saying that it was good to raise the seedlings here, and that they would die when they grew up. I asked her what the situation was.

"It was raised and delicious." Tian Tian looked at me with a serious face, as if this was extremely normal. "Aren't you raising chickens and ducks like this? "First, carefully raise it, then kill it and eat it if it's bigger."

Alright, for a six year old child, especially a child who is in contact with the outside world via television, I really can't ask for too much.

But what I said about Tian Tian wasn't without reason.

He turned around to look at the tender seedlings on the ground. Those seedlings that had been stained with blood had already withered; they had been trampled to death.

The police did not take the body with them. After they made a statement confirming that it was a suicide, there was nothing else to do.

I stood by the rosebush and waited for everyone to leave before slowly walking in.

As expected, before I reached the innermost area, Fallen Flower Cave Lady came out. However, this time, Uncle Chen was standing beside her.

"Hurry up, he's already starting to wake up." The woman had a calm expression, but it was not the same as the calm when they met each other for the first time. It was the same calm after she was satisfied.

"Who is he?" I took a step forward and took out the willow branch with the Tree Spirit in it. "Did that thing absorb the nutrients in this sapling?"

No matter how foolish I was, I had already figured out the sequence.

There was something in the breeding forest from the beginning, and that thing ate the essence of plants and flowers, and could also raise seedlings of trees and flowers. It was just like a human wanting to eat meat, because the human body needed —

However, those who needed the essence of flowers, plants, and trees were definitely not humans.

This farm was opened since Old Master Zeng didn't have a quarry. At that time, my father said that quarry often had dead people, and the owners started to offer sacrifices to the mountain gods.

But what was a mountain god?

Who had ever seen a real mountain god?

I've only seen a shadow twice, and it was a shadow, but I don't know what the mountain god changed.

Luo Hua Cave Girl sighed, holding onto Uncle Chen's hand, she quietly looked at the nursery in the forest, sneering at me: "Don't you think people are too bad? "You have to squeeze something dry to give it up, for example, Mountain."

"Then the real body of the mountain god is below, right?" I directly looked at Luo Hua and said in a deep voice, "You had a connection with the mountain god, so you naturally know what the mountain god is like. But why didn't you remind me last night?" "If that's the case, the Old Master Zeng will not —"

"Why should I remind you?" The woman from the Falling Flower Cave looked at me and then at Uncle Chen. "You brought him here for me. I was human before, but I'm not."

I seemed to be stunned for a moment, unable to speak as I looked at her.

"I'm just a bunch of rose flowers nourished by the land of this mountain. If he can wake up, I can live better. Why should I remind you?" And he's awake. You can't stop him. " She was just like Tian Tian when he said that her parents and aunties were killed by Gu Zu. It was not a big deal.

I looked at her quietly, and suddenly understood that the problem that Director Ding was talking about, consciousness, was formed from identity. When you are no longer a human, all of your views would not be on the human side.

"He woke up not only because of the sapling you planted, but because there was another thing like it. It happened for the past few days, but that thing has a very weak aura and I can only sense a little bit of it." The Falling Flower Cave girl looked at me for a second, then disappeared into the rosebush.
