【085】Old locust tree

The bride disappeared? Where did she go? At this moment, Hansheng felt something was wrong. He felt a dark shadow rising slowly behind him, and a bad feeling rushed into his brain. He stiffened and slowly

Turning around and looking behind...,

Zhong Hansheng was stunned in shock. Countless nightmare scenes appeared in front of his eyes. In the black hair that cascaded down like a waterfall, extremely malicious and cold eyes penetrated. He stared at him and said: "You want to die."

Already..."

Zhong Hansheng woke up from his dream and stretched out his arms to turn on the light. But for some reason, the light switch was always out of reach. Just when he wanted to stand up, a familiar voice came from the dark space.

"Husband, why is your liberation shoe missing?"

After hearing these familiar words, the hair on Zhong Hansheng's head stood up, and he yelled "Ghost!" with a startled voice. Only when he shouted out did he really wake up from the nightmare, covered in sweat.

With wet clothes clinging to his body, he reached out and turned on the light switch.

Due to the unstable voltage of the fifteen-watt light bulb, the dim light kept flickering, reflecting the paleness of his face. With his head and face covered in sweat, he looked around in panic, not daring to continue sleeping.

In the long nights of autumn and winter, you can't just sit there until dawn! Looking at the empty room with no extra furniture, Zhong Hansheng felt for the first time the benefits of having a wife.

My wife is clumsy, clumsy and talks a lot, but with her here, the house will not be so deserted. When I think of my wife, I can't help but think of the children far away in Xinjiang. The children should be back soon.

The children went to Xinjiang by train. "Xinjiang is a good place..." This song attracted his children and they went to Xinjiang desperately.

Unable to sleep, he just thought about it, hugging the quilt and covering his trembling body. He thought a lot, and even thought of a sentence Liu Mingshan said to him.

Liu Mingshan said: Menling Village Tomb gave birth to a son to Zhong Hansheng, which is mutually reinforcing and incompatible. With Zhong Kui, there would be no Zhong Hansheng.

There seemed to be some truth to Liu Mingshan's words. After thinking about it carefully, Zhong Hansheng thought that ever since Zhong Kui was rescued from the cemetery, he had started to have nightmares. He thought about it in a daze, fell asleep... and it really appeared in the dream.

Zhong Kui.

At this time, Zhong Kui had grown up, with a leopard head and eyes, an iron face, and a ferocious look. Behind him were seven little ghosts following him, holding a dragon scabbard in his hands and stabbing him in the chest without saying a word.

"Yeah--yeah!" Zhong Hansheng woke up for the second time, his head covered in cold sweat again. His heartbeat was racing and he couldn't calm down for a long time. When he woke up this time, he really didn't dare to sleep any more, so he simply got up and put it aside.

I flipped through the thick and heavy volume of quotations from great men on the wooden cabinet.

The quotation was written in red font, and it seemed to him that it looked as vivid as the color of blood. He dropped the quotation nervously, feeling as if he was exhausted.

Inexplicable irritability and confusion rushed into his mind, and he remembered Liu Mingshan's warning to him again: 'Zhong Kui and you are in conflict with each other. Only by destroying him can you have a good life.'

Disorganized thinking troubled Zhong Hansheng's mind, and finally he secretly decided to get rid of this kid Zhong Kui.

Autumn and winter are also seasons of dry weather and little rain. The hard yellow mud, like pebbles with water chestnuts, stands erect in the fields. The rapeseed seedlings that were just planted are about to wither. The Murakami team leader's hair turned gray overnight.

.

Zhong Kui is an ominous figure in the eyes of others and cannot show his face.

Zhiqing and Wengen had to go back to the villagers' bicycles early in the morning. Coincidentally, the villagers who lent them the bicycles were grassroots cadres in Donghua Village.

After returning the cart and exchanging pleasantries for a while, the grassroots cadres began to complain about Zhiqing and the others, who were envious of the fact that they had no worries about food and drink. One sentence after another, the topic turned to the matter of the lack of rain.

Grassroots cadres have said that their village is the most miserable village in Tongchuan County. It used to be Menling Village. After Menling Village became an uninhabited village, Threshold Village and Donghua Village became typical poor villages.

The reservoirs are depleted and people are complaining.

Even the river in front of Old Man Xia's house has stopped flowing.

When Zhiqing returned to Old Man Xia's house, he couldn't think of a way to help them.

However, Zhong Kui came up with a method that made Zhi Qing and Wen Gen look at each other with admiration.

Isn't there an ancient well behind Old Man Xia's house? The strange thing about this ancient well is that no matter how dry other places are, the water in this well is still clear and sweet.

But since Old Man Xia fished it out of the well, no one has thought of drawing water from this well for food. But isn’t this an extraordinary period? What reason is there to refuse this good well water? Unless you want to die.

.

Zhong Kui said that people in the village can be arranged on the road, one a few feet away, and each person holds a wooden bucket. In this way, drought crops and household drinking water can be solved.

If you want to carry water from behind Old Man Xia's house, you have to pass under the old locust tree at the back of the village. The old locust tree is an old tree, so old that no one in the village knows the geometry of its annual rings. The old locust tree is a dense tree.

It's like a giant umbrella, covering the entire road, blocking out the sky and the sun.

Because of the age of the old locust tree, and the shade of the tree's branches covering the road, it always gives people a cold feeling. Therefore, usually on weekdays, villagers will not pass under the old locust tree. In addition,

The road under the old locust tree leads directly to the winding path in Menling Village, which makes it even more difficult for anyone to come here.

Old Man Xia's home can be entered from the front, or from the side, where the old locust tree is. The villagers in the village are much closer from the old locust tree to Old Man Xia's home than from the front. In this way, the villagers have no choice but to go

Pass by the old locust tree.

Grassroots cadres announced on the loudspeaker that every household should provide labor to carry water, and emphasized that except for the elderly, weak, women, children, and young children, all other labor must come out.

After a while, there were women and aunts chattering endlessly and men with pipes in their mouths appearing on the road. They looked around and walked toward the old locust tree under the leadership of grassroots cadres one by one.

Those with sharp eyes saw something floating in the wind on the branches of the old locust tree from a distance.

The grassroots cadre took a closer look and saw that indeed, there was something white and human-like swinging under the old locust tree. He immediately raised his hand to tell people to stop, and shouted to a few bold people to come forward and take a closer look.

Looking at the old locust tree from a distance, it looks like an umbrella, shrouded in an indescribable eerie feeling. The human-shaped object is dangling under the leaves, which is scary no matter how you look at it.

When the grassroots cadres slowly and cautiously approached the locust tree, they were immediately frightened by the object they saw in front of them. Their legs became weak and their voices choked in their throats. They were so frightened that they all trembled and pointed at the body floating in the wind.

The object was so horrifying that I couldn't even cry out.
