Merchant of the Underworld

Li Mazi asked while chewing chicken feet: "What's wrong? It can't be that tree that's alive, right?"

He was just making a joke casually, but unexpectedly Da Su seemed to be stimulated, jumped up high, and shouted in panic: "Yes, it is alive, that tree is alive! "

Li Mazi's movements froze and he looked at Da Su as if he were an idiot.

How could the tree be alive?

The old man was afraid that we wouldn't believe it, so he hurriedly explained: "It's true, that tree is really alive."

Li Mazi sneered, lowered his head and gnawed on the chicken feet, resolutely ignoring the two lunatics in front of him.

I have a close relationship with Lao Fei. I know his character, the simplicity and forthrightness of Northeastern people. He knows what to say and what not to say. If those words had come out of Da Su's mouth, I would have thought that he was drunk and talking nonsense. But if they had come out of the old fat man's mouth, it would prove that something was really wrong.

My face suddenly became stern, and I looked at the old man very seriously: "What's going on, don't miss a word, talk about it carefully."

The old man snorted: "Dasu has developed a lot of real estate in recent years. It stands to reason that we have seen so many weird and weird things that we won't be afraid to care about them. But this time, this tree is really a bit evil, and it has attracted a lot of people." Even the experts can’t solve it.”

Li Mazi glanced at me proudly: "That's because you didn't ask the right person. There is nothing in this world that our little brother from the Zhang family can't solve."

This guy never knows how to write the word low-key.

The old fat man probably guessed his temper and ignored him, continuing: "Da Su told me that the scene was very chaotic. The local people gathered around the old tree and did not let the workers get close at all. Da Su said something nice. After a while, they just refused to cooperate. Later, Dasu got angry and ordered the trees to be cut down! The people gathered around to stop them, and pushed one of the workers and hit the tree trunk with his axe. As a result, there was a popping sound. , that tree actually shed a lot of blood, splashing all over the people around it. Dasu originally thought it was the sap of the tree, but when he smelled it, it actually smelled like human blood. Now he panicked, and the people around him were even more frightened. Trembling, he pointed at Da Su and said that he had angered the tree god and would definitely die..."

When Da Su heard this, he seemed to remember the scene at that time, and he wanted to get under the table on the spot.

Li Mazi glanced at him with disdain: "You are so cowardly that you still come out to join society and pay tribute to the tree god. That is all superstition and deception."

After listening to Li Mazi's words, Da Su said with some decadence: "I thought so at first, but then a series of things happened, and I knew that this was not a lie, but true. That tree is really He is spiritual. I have angered the tree god, and I will definitely not be able to escape..."

I asked the old man: "What happened next? What happened next?"

The old man continued: "After the old tree bled, everyone was stunned. The people knelt down and kowtowed repeatedly to beg for mercy. The tree must not be cut down. Da Su took his workers back to the temporary work shed. Although he felt a little scared, he didn't take it too seriously. He had seen a lot of strange things happening over the years. He comforted the workers a few words and decided to find someone who knew what was going on with the tree. ?As a result, as soon as he walked away, something happened at the construction site that night."

"What happened?" Li Mazi also put down his chicken paws at this moment, listening with great interest.

The old man said: "A few workers were missing. At first, everyone thought they went to the surrounding areas to have fun. You also know that these workers are out all year round. In addition to the bricks and tiles used on the construction site, they are surrounded by a group of rough men who stay together for a long time. Now, I will inevitably miss women. There are a few naughty women in the village not far from the work shed. They are all old and middle-aged. They are not picky about customers and accept them as long as they pay for them. Everyone thought they went there, but until the second When no one came back for two nights, other workers realized something was wrong and hurriedly contacted Dasu.”

"At that time, Dasu was looking for someone who knew something in the city, but even after asking several questions, he couldn't explain it clearly or solve the problem. Dasu was at a loss. After receiving the call, he realized that something was wrong and hurriedly drove back. Wait. When I checked at the work shed, I found that the missing workers happened to be the ones who went to cut down trees yesterday."

I nodded and motioned for the old man to continue.

Lao Fei said mysteriously: "There is another strange thing in the middle. When we were cutting down the trees, because we knew that the local people were going to make trouble, Da Su was afraid of suffering a loss, so he took a lot of people with him. Everyone else was fine, only those few The worker who was standing at the front and was splashed with blood sprayed from the old tree disappeared..."

When I heard this, I turned my head and glanced at Li Mazi. He happened to be walking towards me, and we exchanged a tacit look. We both knew that there was definitely something weird about this tree, but I didn't know if it had something to do with femininity or something else. ?

Li Mazi and I have a way of dealing with negative things, but we don't know if there are other ways.

Lao Fei said: "Da Su felt something was wrong at that time and hurriedly went to nearby villages to inquire. As a result, several people who were splashed with tree blood disappeared at the same time because they blocked them. What's even more frightening is that there were already people there. Pack your bags and decide to move your family!”

"Jilin, you may not know that in our rural areas in the northeast, land is the life of the people! Many of them are land-based households, relying on mountains and rivers to feed themselves. They would not give up one-third of an acre of land at home to a mountain of gold and silver. Sell. When Da Su took over this resort, he was originally going to buy their land, but the people disagreed. The developer had no choice but to settle for a forest with old trees. Unexpectedly, after such an experience, After a strange incident, these people actually abandoned their homes where they had lived for many years and left as if they were fleeing."

I thought for a while and asked: "Has the missing person been found?"

"Found it!" The old man nodded: "Everyone searched around, and finally found that all the missing people were hung on the old tree. Their bodies were wrapped in layers of vines like fruits, with only the It’s a dead-eyed face! From a distance, I thought it was a string of wind chimes, swaying in the wind, and it looks very scary.”
