Xiaoyao Xiaoyao in the mountains

Under everyone's gaze, Zhang Shengli said bravely, "Then I invited them to have a meal at the Fortune Restaurant in the town, and asked them to dig trees for me."

"If I'm not wrong, Li Fang, Wang Xing and Zhixue should be among these people, right?"

Zhang Shengli nodded.

"Yesterday afternoon, a few of us started digging with shovels, digging..."

When Zhang Shengli said this, he paused for a while, as if he was a little scared, and dared not continue.

"What happened?" Yang Xiaobao asked curiously.

Zhang Shengli took a deep breath and said, "Red juice like blood flowed out from the roots we cut down."

Yang Xiaobao frowned immediately when he heard this.

Actually speaking of this, Yang Xiaobao already understood what was going on.

"Did you dig that tree down?"

Zhang Shengli shook his head and said, "That tree is too big. We were busy all afternoon and didn't dig it down at all."

Then, the next day, three people died one after another.

"It shouldn't be because of the wish of that locust tree, right?"

Zhang Shengli is not so much asking Yang Xiaobao, as he is comforting himself.

Yang Xiaobao snorted, and said coldly: "Which locust tree have you seen that can flow red water like blood?"

Zhang Shengli wiped the sweat off his face and said, "Brother Xiaobao, if this is really the reason, then my sin is too heavy."

Yang Xiaobao wanted to tell him that this was the result of his insatiable greed.

But the words did not come out.

"Tomorrow, I'll take a look at that locust tree to see if it's the reason."

Yang Xiaobao could only comfort him like this.

"Okay, okay, great." Zhang Shengli said excitedly immediately.

Then he said to everyone: "Okay, it's almost midnight, go back to sleep, Youcai, you can send this talisman to Zhixue for me, and ask his wife to stick it on Zhixue."

As he spoke, he handed a talisman to a man in his 30s.

Seeing that nothing was going on, the villagers prepared to disperse and go home.

At this time, Yang Xiaobao suddenly grabbed Zhang Shengli and asked, "Village Chief, I want to ask, besides Zhixue, Li Fang and Wang Xing, who else participated in the tree digging."

Those villagers who hadn't dispersed immediately stopped when they heard this.

Zhang Shengli was stunned for a moment, stomped his feet, and said, "It's broken! There is another one, which is a stone."

"Where is Stone? I haven't seen him all night." Zhang Shengli shouted to the crowd.

But no one answered him.

"Yeah, Shitou was such a fun-loving person before, why didn't I see him today?"

"Did something happen to him too?"

What the villagers said made Zhang Shengli even more anxious. He pushed away the crowd and ran outside.

Yang Xiaobao also ran out immediately.

He ran up to Zhang Shengli and said to him, "Slow down, don't fall again."

At this time, Yang Xiaobao's favorability towards Zhang Shengli had dropped to the lowest level.

Hearing Yang Xiaobao's words, Zhang Shengli slowed down obediently.

"Let me ask you, who is this stone?"

Zhang Shengli said: "Just like Zhixue, we are all from the same family, and both are surnamed Zhang. It's a pity that Shitou's father and mother died early and have never been married."

"Oh, that means he lives alone?"

"Yes, there used to be something in the village. He loved to join in the fun, helping the villagers do it, eating a meal, and smoking a cigarette."

Yang Xiaobao nodded, he was no stranger to this kind of person.

There seems to be such a character in every village.

He felt a little uneasy now, and he felt that there was a high possibility that something happened to the stone.

The two walked quickly to the door of a dilapidated courtyard.

"Stone, Stone, are you home?"

Zhang Shengli kicked the door and shouted.

The courtyard gate was kicked open, but no one responded.

Yang Xiaobao and Zhang Shengli looked at each other, pushed open the door, and walked in.

The two walked into the yard, and saw a figure walking out of the main room.

"Stone?"

Zhang Shengli shouted immediately when he saw this person.

"So it's Uncle Shengli, why are you here?" the man asked.

Yang Xiaobao heard this person's voice was simple and flat, like a fool.

Zhang Shengli took a deep breath and said, "Stone, I called you just now, why didn't you speak?"

"Uncle Shengli, I fell asleep and didn't hear you."

Yang Xiaobao saw Shi Shi standing under the eaves, his eyes were dazed, as if he hadn't woken up yet.

Because it was too dark, Yang Xiaobao couldn't see what the stone looked like, but judging from his height, it was only about 1.7 meters.

"Uncle Shengli, what do you want from me?"

"It's nothing serious, I just want to explain to you that I will go to a chronologist for help tomorrow."

"Don't worry, I will definitely go."

Seeing that Shitou was fine, Zhang Shengli nodded and said to Yang Xiaobao: "Brother Xiaobao, you are fine, let's go."

Yang Xiaobao nodded, turned around and walked out of the yard.

"Village Chief, if there's nothing wrong, then I'll leave first, and I'll come back tomorrow to see that locust tree."

As Yang Xiaobao said, he turned around and walked towards the chronologist.

His motorcycle is still parked in front of his house.

But Zhang Shengli grabbed Yang Xiaobao's arm and said, "Brother Xiaobao, I have something to ask you."

"what's up?"

"I was the one who dug the tree that day, would I..."

Yang Xiaobao could see fear from Zhang Shengli's eyes.

Yang Xiaobao shook his head with a smile, and said: "Village Chief, I really don't know about this, maybe it will, maybe it won't."

"Little Treasure, you have to save me, or you can also give me an evil spirit talisman."

Although Yang Xiaobao didn't like Zhang Shengli at all, he couldn't watch Zhang Shengli have an accident.

"Okay, then I'll go to your house and draw an evil spirit talisman for you." Yang Xiaobao nodded in agreement.

"Great." Zhang Shengli said excitedly.

Yang Xiaobao followed Zhang Shengli and walked towards his house.

But while walking, Yang Xiaobao suddenly stopped.

"Brother Xiaobao, what's the matter? Why don't you leave?" Zhang Shengli asked.

"No, I should have expected this."

After saying that, Yang Xiaobao turned around and ran towards Shitou's house along the same road.

When he arrived at Shitou's house, Yang Xiaobao kicked open the door, and then he saw Shitou standing alone in the middle of the yard.

This time, he clearly saw the thick layer of yin that shrouded the stone.

Just now Shi Shi came out of the house and stood under the eaves, and it was already late at night, so it was impossible to see whether there was a cloud of yin around him.

But now he is standing in the courtyard, under the moonlight, Yang Xiaobao can see clearly.

"Xiaobao, what's the matter? Why are you back again?"

Zhang Shengli also caught up at this time and asked pantingly.

Shi Shi turned around, fixed his eyes on Yang Xiaobao, and suddenly showed a sly smile on his expressionless face.
