Chapter 70: The Old Man in the Tree
For men, the happiest thing in the world is to do a great thing with the person they like and fight for the future of mankind.
After a long time of fighting, and eating the marrow, the ghost cried and secretly stabbed himself a few times, but he still got up later than before.
In the next few days, he simply gave up practicing the same knife skills, accompanied Nangong around the back garden, snuggled together, and watched the moon on the roof.
Ouyang Long understood what Ghost Cry was going to face, so he also knew why Ghost Cry had behaved like this in the past few days, so he instructed the servants not to disturb.
On the fifth day, the ghost cried and got up unusually early, and the sound of waving a knife came from the courtyard.
On the sixth day, the ghost cried and led the big black horse away, in order to keep a low profile, he forced the big black horse to take off a horse armor, the big black horse was reluctant, but he still reluctantly accepted his fate, and the ribs of his body were seen again.
took off the mighty horse armor, although the big black horse was tall, but the thin and rugged appearance was natural, which made people look down on it, and it was really much more low-key.
Outside the city, although the trees are lush, the land, for some reason, always has a layer of gray on the surface, and the land is also yellow, always a little dry, and it looks unnatural.
And the further north you go, the more dust there is, and finally it is so bad that the wind blows, the leaves rustle, and the whole mountain forest is covered with smoke and dust.
Devil May Cry didn't even understand how such a land could nurture such a large area of forests.
Two days later, Tianjiagou.
Compared with other villages in Wanfu Mountain, Tianjiagou is not remote, but also wealthy, at least not so many people freeze to death in winter.
But since a few years ago, nightmares have befallen this village, where more than half of the village has the surname Tian.
All this originated when Tian Ermu's daughter-in-law gave birth to a strange doll, this doll has a big head and a small body, ten fingers like a beard, and an old face.
As soon as they saw this doll, Tian Ermu's family was frightened. I consulted the old witch in the village, and the old witch said that this was an evil animal, and asked people to burn this doll, and Tian Ermu did as he was told.
Tian Ermu's daughter-in-law learned that her child had been burned, lay in bed for a few days, was sad for a few days, and then forgot about it.
She is not only a strange doll, counting this strange doll, she has a total of 5 children, and now there are only three left, for the sake of these three children's eating, drinking, Lazar, she can't tolerate her sadness for too long.
However, bad luck followed.
First the old witch, after burning the strange doll, she didn't go out for a few days. Later, when someone fell ill, he went to see a witch, only to find that she had hanged herself on the beam of her house.
His tongue was out, his eyes were as furious as goldfish, his fingers were like hooks, and his body exuded a rancid smell.
She is dead, and the corpse has turned into a zombie. It's just that he was hung on the beams of the house, and he could only shake his hands and feet, and he couldn't get down. As soon as she saw the light, she screamed, and the screams frightened the villagers who went to the door in the morning, and ran to the place where they were working, and shouted: "Oh no, Granny Tian is dead, and she has become a zombie ......."
After some panic, the villagers followed him to the old witch's house, and then, stunned. After several discussions, the old witch who had become a zombie was finally burned down along with the house.
After that, only one day later, Tian Ermu's family had an accident. His mother-in-law had nightmares, and she couldn't do it on the second day, so Tian Ermu went out to work in the morning, and when she came back that night, her mother-in-law died.
She knelt in the hall, looking like she was worshipping the ancestors' spiritual seat, but an axe stood on the ground, and her head was knocked on the axe, and the axe was deeply embedded in her head, and blood flowed all over the ground.
There were three children in their family, except for the eldest who went out to work with Lao Tzu, and the remaining two little ones were strangled to death in bed.
Tian Ermu collapsed at that time and almost committed suicide, and the son who was still alive was scared into a fool.
After that, the whole village was enveloped in a quirky atmosphere.
The people in the village had nightmares one after another, and the villagers became more and more frightened, some said that Tianjiagou was ruined by God's punishment, and some people said that Tianjiagou had offended the gods in the mountains.
This eccentric atmosphere lasted for two months, and a new brat was welcomed into the village. However, there is no joy, more endless fear.
The boy had a big, boneless head, soft as mud, and died the day he was born.
The cold was everywhere, and the birth of two good dolls in succession cast a shadow on the entire Tianjiagou, and the other villages cut off the connection with Tianjiagou.
In the next few years, it was even more unlucky, and the children born were either skinny like zombies, or their hearts were exposed and they looked bloody and blurred, or they were missing two legs but had an extra pair of hands. One is more eccentric than the other, one is uglier than the other, without exception, these dolls died within two days of birth.
Then, the people of Tianjiagou saw the villagers in the surrounding villages as monsters, and if they saw it, they would be expelled.
Some of the villagers in Tianjiagou decided to leave the village and go to other places, but every time they left, they always turned back again, and they couldn't leave at all.
The entire Tianjia Village is desperate.
......
Today is another sunny day, not far from Tianjiagou, on a big tree next to a small road, Tian Ermu, who is old, looks at the sun and smiles stupidly.
From time to time, a breeze blew through his full head of gray hair, and he grabbed it and put it in his mouth and chewed it.
In the distance, in the dust, a figure appeared. He led his horse, wore a hat, carried a long knife, wore a gray robe, and walked in straw sandals.
Tian Ermu was stunned for a moment, rubbed his eyes, and the figure reflected in his pupils had not disappeared.
His face changed drastically, and he snapped the branches on the tree and threw them at the figure: "Get out, get out, get ...... roll"
He roared over and over again, his sharp voice echoing through the mountains like a night owl.
The person who came was the ghost crying, and the ghost crying helped the hat, raised his head, and looked at the old man in the tree.
Tian Ermu, who looked very old, seemed to be very frightened when he saw the ghost crying, screamed, fell from the tree, and then crawled into the depths of the woods.
A withered yellow thorn bush was crossed by Tian Ermu, the thorns were broken, and the spikes were hung with blood beads.
Ghost Cry didn't chase it, but frowned and continued on his way. After walking a dozen more steps, I turned a corner, and a village filled with smoke and dust appeared in front of me.
The village is built on the mountain, in the middle of the two mountains, but it is more inclined to the east of the mountain, a small river meanders from the village stream, the whole village, it seems to be built in a huge "ditch", and because the people in the village are surnamed Tian, so it is called Tianjiagou.
Around Tianjiagou, there are large areas of farmland. However, the farmland has long been deserted, and it is overgrown with weeds, but you can still vaguely see the vertical and horizontal Qianmo.
The weeds swayed, and a wild dog poked its head out, drooling as the ghost cried.
When Devil Cry looked at it, it immediately turned around and burrowed into the field full of weeds and disappeared.
Wow wow wow wow......
Several black shadows fluttered their wings and soared from the village, and their mouths let out a child's cry and hovered over Tianjiagou.
At the entrance of the village, a bare-bottomed child playing with mud turned his head 180 degrees, and his godless eyes looked at the ghost crying......
