Jiang Ping returned to the hotel, and when he took a shower, he kept thinking about what the man in the food stall said just now—"How could a tree talk? If it really could talk, wouldn't it be a demon tree?"

He also heard a similar question from another person during the day—"If I say that the Tangli tree was transformed by a monster, would you believe it?"

Is this a coincidence?

But there are no monsters in this world.

What happened during the two months that the boss disappeared, and why did he look different after he came back?

Did he really come to this remote mountainous area across half of China just to find a Tangli tree?

Why was he so persistent in finding that Tangli tree?

What does he want to do?

At this time, the mobile phone rang outside, Jiang Ping was afraid of some important call, so he ran out wrapped in a towel, picked it up and saw that it was Wang Yeqing calling.

"Hello, Miss Wang," he said.

"Are you with Jiu Shigou?" the woman on the other end of the phone asked directly.

Jiang Ping: "No..."

Wang Yeqing: "I called him but he didn't answer, where is he?"

Jiang Ping: "Food stalls."

"Which food stall?"

Jiang Ping reported the name of the food stall. After Wang Yeqing said "thank you", it seemed that he was about to hang up. Just as Jiang Ping wanted to say something, he listened to the phone and asked, "Did Jiu Shigou go to the scenic spot today?" ?”

Jiang Ping: "... went."

"Okay, thank you." The phone hung up.

Twenty minutes later, the pots and pans of the food stall have been put away, the chefs are off work, the boss and the proprietress are sitting on the steps of the door, chatting without saying a word, while waiting for the group of drinking people Dispersed, today's day's business is over.

At this time, a black car stopped on the side of the road.

The boss hurriedly got up and prepared to welcome the guests, thinking how could someone come at this point.

Wang Yeqing got out of the car and saw Jiu Shigou surrounded by a large group of people. She walked over, patted the shoulders of a few people to let them pass, and then directly walked Jiu Shigou out of the crowd. pulled out.

"Have you been drinking?" Wang Yeqing smelled alcohol.

"No." Jiu Shigou said, "It's on them. Why are you here?"

"The archaeological team is going to settle there today. I have nothing to do, so I drove here by myself." Wang Yeqing said, "I heard that you went to the scenic spot? Did you find the tree you hate?"

Jiu Shihou and Wang Yeqing got into the car together, "I found it."

Wang Yeqing started the car, "How is it?"

"It's okay," Jiu Shi later leaned back on the seat, "I'll go tomorrow."

Wang Yeqing turned his gaze sideways and glanced at him: "Are you going tomorrow?"

Jiu Shihou: "I came here just to find that tree, of course I will go tomorrow."

Wang Yeqing: "Why are you so obsessed with that tree?"

Jiu Shigou sighed, "You won't believe me even if I tell you."

Wang Yeqing pondered for a while, then frowned: "Could it be that there are tombs under that tree? You want to embezzle cultural relics?"

"..."

Just when Jiu Shi wanted to tease him, he suddenly thought of something, "Yes, there is a tomb below!"

Wang Yeqing braked suddenly, and the two of them flung forward. Fortunately, they were dragged back by the seat belts, and they almost vomited after eating for a long time.

"Do you know what you're talking about?" Wang Yeqing stared at him with wide eyes, "Is there really a tomb down there?!"

"That's right, there is a tomb below," Jiu Shi straightened his tousled hair. "It's a tomb from 3000 years ago. I don't know its size, but there must be one."

Wang Yeqing touched Jiu Shi's forehead, "You really didn't drink too much?"

After a long time, he took her hand, "I didn't drink."

Wang Yeqing: "Why do you conclude that there is a tomb below?"

After a long time, he turned on his mobile phone and immediately searched a few keywords online: "Look, 'Zhao Bo', a character in the Western Zhou Dynasty, was a fief of Yu Zhao, and the land of Zhao is today's Jiangchuan. After his death, he was buried in a tree. Under the Tangli tree, it is roughly estimated that the Tangli tree in the scenic area is about 3000 years old, is it just right?"

Wang Yeqing: "Is this why you want to cut down trees? Do you really want to rob graves?"

Jiu Shihou: "...No, I just want to cut down trees."

Wang Yeqing leaned back on his chair and seemed relieved: "I don't care if the tomb you mentioned is real or not, but I can tell you that even if there is a tomb below, the relevant departments will not let the archaeological team cut down the Tangli tree. Yes, other measures may be taken."

"Why?" After a long time, I was puzzled, and even more annoyed, "There is a tomb under the Yunwu tea garden. You can dig the tea garden. Why can't you dig the Tangli tree when there is a tomb under the Tangli tree?"

Wang Yeqing: "Because the Tangli tree itself is a cultural relic, it is impossible for us to destroy another cultural relic in order to discover another cultural relic?"

After a long time: "What kind of cultural relic is Gantang? If it is alive, more people will die because of it."

Wang Yeqing was puzzled, "What is the basis?"

Jiu Shigou called up a video on his phone, which he secretly recorded with the pinhole camera in the middle of his glasses at night, "This is a video of Tangli tree talking, I know you don't believe it, but the truth is Tangli tree It is a demon tree, its existence will cause more people to disappear mysteriously and then die."

After watching the entire video, Wang Yeqing still had doubts in his eyes: "You have no way to prove that this voice was not composed by you in the later stage, and I didn't see a mouth popping out of the tree trunk."

Jiu Shihou: "So I didn't call the police, and the police will definitely think like you."

Wang Yeqing: "So why did you tell me? Do you think I will believe you?"

Jiu Shihou: "I want you to do me a favor."

"What are you busy with?"

"You told me that day, you said that I fell in love with a pile of bones, I think you are right, I just like him, now you are going to dig his tomb, I want to ask you for help, can you be in the archaeological team Find me a job? On the day of the cemetery, I want to be there."

This sounded ridiculous, Wang Yeqing said: "You are the sponsor of the archaeological team, if you want to know first-hand information, we can tell you, but if you want to go to the tomb... do you have relevant qualifications? This is a very serious issue, if you accidentally damage the cultural relics, if the higher-ups pursue it, there may be a series of people who will suffer, this is not a joke."

"That's why I'm showing you this video," Jiu Shigou earnestly said, "I can also tell you that almost all the disappearances reported in the news every day are related to the Tangli tree. It's hard for you to believe it, right? The fact is that they suddenly disappeared from the world, we thought they were gone, something happened, but in fact they were sent to another time and space, and then were massacred and executed by the envoys sent by Tanglishu, so we couldn't find them , but maybe they are waiting somewhere for us to pick them up now."

Wang Yeqing didn't know which sentence touched him, his eyes moved suddenly, "Why did you say that?"

Jiu Shihou knew that he had to show his cards, "Because I have been there. After the shipwreck, I went to an island. There were many peach trees growing on that island. Every peach tree was sent to the island by a person. They either Killed by another human being, or executed by a systematic executioner, I've seen it myself."

"This is why you disappeared for two months after the shipwreck?"

"Correct."

Jiu Shigou firmly said: "I didn't lie to you."

Wang Yeqing's hand that had been pressing the steering wheel suddenly touched the horn, and the car made a sharp sound. The deserted street seemed to be awakened suddenly. Wang Yeqing quickly withdrew her hand, her hand was trembling slightly, Shaking non-stop.

Jiu Shi later noticed, "What's wrong with you?"

Are you scared?

Suddenly, Wang Yeqing grabbed Jiu Shigou's hand, "I believe in you, I believe in you."

After a long time: "...why?"

For the sudden trust, he was inexplicably a little embarrassed.

Wang Yeqing didn't know whether he was excited or frightened, he grabbed Jiu Shihou's hand more and more forcefully, his nails almost pierced in, "I've seen it, I've seen it, 20 years ago, my father and my mother went to the Civil Affairs Bureau to file for a divorce. Procedures, I waited in the car, when they came out, they disappeared as soon as the car door was closed, I went out to find help, no one believed me, the place could not be adjusted to monitor, I had no way to prove what I said. They all told Me, my parents didn't want me, so they left me and left, but I know, I just saw them disappear from my eyes!"

"Your father is not Wang Dong..."

"He is not my real father, he is my uncle. He was afraid that I would be laughed at at school without parents, so he said that I was his daughter." Wang Yeqing was so excited that he didn't even know that tears flowed, "I I knew it, I knew it, no one believed me, I knew it.”

Jiu Shigou held hers with the other hand, like two very poor people cuddling together and talking to each other.

He didn't tell Wang Yeqing that if her parents disappeared together, it is very likely that one of them had made a wish to Gan Tang that the other would disappear, and it has been 20 years since they disappeared, so they should have been executed long ago... …

"So how did you come back?" Wang Yeqing asked urgently.

Jiu Shihou: "I killed the executioner in that field."

Wang Yeqing: "Is anyone else coming back? What about the person who disappeared with you?"

Jiu Shihou: "He was killed by the executioner of the system, and I couldn't save him."

Wang Yeqing probably already guessed something, but she didn't say it, people should give themselves a little hope.

"I can't take you to the tomb, but you can be there on the day of the unearthed."

"Enough." Jiu Shigou said.

The car was quiet for an unknown amount of time, when Wang Yeqing suddenly said, "If I go and set fire to burn the Tangli tree, will it die?"

Jiu Shihou: "No. Only those who tame it can kill it."

Wang Yeqing: "Who tamed it?"

After a long time: "Wu Yingzhi."

At this moment, all the strange behaviors before a long time seemed to be threaded by an invisible thread, and everything could be explained. Wang Yeqing said: "This is why you have been studying Emperor Wu Ai? You Want to bring him out of history and let him kill the Tangli tree for you?"

After a long silence, he said, "No, it's simply because I miss him."
