Otherworldly Merchant

After about two rains yesterday, the ground was wet and very muddy, the air in the woods was particularly hot, and our clothes were quickly wet with sweat.

Fortunately, for development, Dasu workers have cut most of the nearby trees, so there is barely a way to go!

Quietly around, only the four of us breathe heavily, I think it's a little strange, but I can't remember where it is.

Soon we arrived at the waist of the mountain, and a tall ancient tree appeared in front of us, with fluffy branches and extraordinarily lush leaves. It's just that the whole tree is blackened, causing the surrounding air to cool down and suffocate through the silk.

The branches and trunks are hung with bright red strips, but without the wind, the strips are flying at a rhythm, like a tentacle that lures you forward. Fatty said the body had been removed, except for the shady tree, which was nothing wrong.

I slowly approached the nearby area and saw that there was a gap in the trunk of the mulberry tree. It should have been cut with an ax by the workers of Dasu's previous staff. At this moment, the wound was actually scabbed, so I couldn't help but stare.

I waved to Li Mazi. Li Mazi glanced at him and looked at him. His strength slowed down a lot. He circled around the old tree two times and said, “It's weird! ”

Fatty asked excitedly, "What's so weird? ”

Li Mazi smiled embarrassingly: “I don't see it yet! ”

Fatty was unstable and fell on the spot.

I slowly put my hands on the trunk and closed my eyes to feel its breath, and the palms could feel the rhythm of the heavy blood flow under the bark.

This tree is indeed somewhat different and should have been refined.

Li Mazi looked at me twice: "Zhang Jia Xiao, what should I do? Why don't we just cut it down? ”

He said that while he raised the axe, he had to do it just as soon as I gave the order. But at this point, the whole old tree suddenly made a sharp hiss, like a hurricane rolling the leaves, but fell into our ears, more like an old man's angry howl.

Big Sue was scared by the sound of the mouse, and if Old Fat Eyed hadn't grabbed him quickly, he would have run away.

Li Mazi was also frightened and hurried to throw away the axe in his hand: “I'm kidding, Master Tree God, don't be serious! ”

This pussy!

Looks like the tree is conscious and even understands what we're saying, and it's very likely that it won't get rid of it and cause us trouble.

Until you get a clear picture, it's best to keep it sharp and not rush to success.

“Down the hill!” I've just finished, Dasu has earned his old fat and he hasn't washed his head back down the mountain. Li Mazi still laughed at him: “You coward! ”

Li Mazi, who gave you the confidence to say that? How can you get better by yourself?

Mountains are easy to get down, and roads are muddy, and by the time we hit the bottom of the mountain, it's almost dark. There was still no sound in the silent mountain forest, and I stopped, finally reflecting on what was strange to me all along.

Li Mazi looked at me inexplicably: "Brother Zhang Jia, what is wrong with you? ”

I watched the movement around me, and then I realized, “Don't you think it's strange? ”

“Strange, what's strange?” Old Fatty looked around restlessly.

“Too quiet, no sound.” I said softly.

Li Mazi turned a white eye silently: “Aren't you talking nonsense? It hasn't been developed yet. There's no one here but the four of us. It's the voices. ”

I sighed, “I'm not talking about human voices, I'm talking about animals. This forest occupies a large area, according to theory there should be a lot of animals living in it, but when this circle came down, I found that there were not only no large animals in the forest, not even birds, not even spider insects..."

When I said this, Li Mazi reacted suddenly: "Yes! It's kind of weird that you say that. I haven't even seen an ant grass. ”

Fatty still didn't respond: “What does that mean? ”

“Describe what is terrifying about living in these woods, that other creatures do not dare to come near and live in alternative places. Either the creatures in this forest are killed..."

When I say this, Fatty only understands.

He looked white and asked nervously, "So... are we going to be okay? ”

I patted him on the shoulder soothingly: "Let's go down the hill first! Don't you think the people in the surrounding villages are doing well? You can see that only this forest is odd, and it's still safe out there. ”

Fatty listened to me, hastened to speed up his footsteps, dragged his heavy body and walked like a flying catching up with Daesu.

Li Mazi was rather disrespectful to his behavior: “Abandon friends, who are you? ”

I looked at him and said, "You're a kind of person! ”

Li Mazi shouted angrily: “I'm not. I'm not. I'm a Mazi! You can't deny my worth if I throw my head in hot blood and go up the mountain and down the flames. ”

Do you have the value?

When he returned to the construction site, Dasu still looked shocked, and he asked me with awe: “There is a problem with that tree! Let's get out of here! We can't stay here any longer. Something's definitely going on. ”

Fatty comforted him: “Don't panic for now. Since we have asked Kowloon to do this, let's listen to his arrangement. ”

I thought, “It's too late. We live here today. Tomorrow I want to go to a nearby village and ask for clues about this tree, maybe to find out what it's all about. ”

Fatty obeyed my words and immediately nodded in favour: "Okay, that's it!” As you can see, he also wants to settle this matter as soon as possible.

Li Mazi whispered to me: “Brother, that tree is not a normal tree, and we have always dealt with shady things. This tree obviously has nothing to do with shady things. It is easy for you to get in the way. ”

I picked his eyebrows out: "How do you know it's not about the pussy? I have a feeling this tree has absolutely got something to do with the shadows. ”

The sheds were all ready, although the workers walked half the way, but perhaps suddenly, there was a mattress in the makeshift room, and Fatty said: “I just looked, there is no water or food here, why don't I go buy some food in the nearby village? ”

I shook my head: “Tomorrow morning, anyway, let's not alarm them with grass snakes. We can't die overnight! ”

Fatty promised to come down. Luckily, there were two boxes of mineral water in the trunk of Dasu's car. Although there was no food, everyone ate a lot at noon, not too hungry.

Me and Li Mazi haven't slept all night in order to catch up on the plane. We had a difficult time attacking. Despite the harsh environment, we fell asleep very quickly.

In my sleep, I suddenly felt a chirping sound coming from my ears.

I woke up instantly and saw the simple shed walls filled with dense marijuana roots!
