Chapter 160 Old Tree Black Cat
After confirming that the owner of the big tomb was dead, we contacted the important events that would happen at dawn at the village chief's family.
Ran Ran quickly revealed the true nature of the matter.
Dark marriage.
When Ran Ran said these two words, Shen Dinghai immediately shrank himself into a ball.
"It's like the marriage between a man and a ghost!"
"Will there be a female bride in red?!"
Ran Ran couldn't help but sigh, "It's unlikely that the village chief would let his precious son marry a female ghost."
Shen Dinghai felt ashamed, "I'm sorry, but the image of female ghosts has been deeply rooted in people's hearts for a long time. When it comes to ghost marriage, I can't help but think of the scary female ghost in red."
Wu Pannan said angrily: "Then why did the female ghost in red appear? It wasn't because she had too much resentment during her lifetime!"
"I don't reflect on why the female ghost in red was formed. I only know how to scream about terror and terror!"
Shen Dinghai lowered his head in shame and tried to change the subject, "So it was the village chief's son who died, and the man's side is the devil."
"Where did the man and the woman come from! This can't be considered a marriage at all! How can a good person marry a ghost?!"
"In case a girl wishes..."
Faced with Wu Pannan's fierce anger, Shen Dinghai swallowed the rest of his words knowingly.
The farther you go toward the back mountain, the more grass grows and grows deeper on both sides of the trail, even breaking through the boundaries on both sides and spreading onto the road.
"I'm not saying..." Shen Dinghai raised his head slightly, "This grass is almost as tall as a tree. Don't you think it's evil?"
Except for the increasingly clear sound of the suona in the distance, no one responded.
Shen Dinghai touched his nose awkwardly, "There seem to be too many evil things, and the tall grass is really nothing."
Ran Ran saw Dongsheng stop.
He walked to a thick old tree and broke off a branch.
"Huh? You look thin and weak, but you are quite strong!" Shen Dinghai couldn't help but praise.
The branch that Dongsheng broke off was as thick as an adult man's thumb, and it was like a wind when he waved it.
Ran Ran followed him and watched.
Shen Dinghai hurriedly stepped over, "Does my cousin want it too? It turns out that good-looking sticks are not only liked by boys."
Ran Ran nodded, and Shen Dinghai immediately broke off two pieces, gave the shorter one to Ran Ran, and gave the longer one to Wu Pannan.
Wu Pannan looked at him with a strange expression.
Shen Dinghai scratched his head, "What? Don't believe my aesthetics in choosing a stick? Just play with it and give it a try! You'll definitely get it!"
He was right. The branches he selected were straight and well-proportioned. Not only did they look good, they were also particularly handy for Ran Ran and Wu Pannan.
Shen Dinghai laughed when he saw Wu Pannan's puzzled and novel expression on his face after waving the stick twice.
"As a senior outdoor stick-picking enthusiast! My vicious eyes are not just words!"
Shen Dinghai finally ran to the tree again and chose one with long and thick roots, which looked more majestic than everyone else's.
"Not bad! I almost want to move this tree to my yard!"
While he was sighing, a dark shadow flashed between the sparse branches.
Dongsheng looked up and saw that there was nothing there.
He withdrew his gaze and continued to lead the way for everyone in silence.
Soon, Shen Dinghai understood that Dongsheng's behavior of breaking branches was fundamentally different from his. It was not for fun at all!
There were more and more weeds, and Dongsheng was seen waving the branches in his hands vigorously, and with every move, a lot of withered and yellow grass fell to the ground.
But Dongsheng's cleaning was not enough to completely knock down the weeds blocking the road. Occasionally, if there was any oversight, Shen Dinghai would knock them down with a big stick.
"There's too much grass here!" His tone was a little annoyed.
"Your village should raise cattle to make a fortune! The fodder is so good, tall and strong." Shen Dinghai looked at Wu Pannan with questioning eyes. "I don't know! There weren't so many weeds in my village at that time." After Wu Pannan finished speaking, he gritted his teeth and waved the branch towards the downed grass that was lying on the ground.
These amazingly long grasses are indeed quite troublesome. If left unchecked, they will block the view and make it impossible to move forward.
If you knock it down hard, it will pile up on the road, making it difficult to take steps, just like walking in deep snow, which is extremely laborious.
At this time, naturally the shorter the legs, the more obvious the disadvantage.
Shen Dinghai could easily step over the haystack, but Ran Ran could only move with difficulty among them.
Suddenly slowly stopped.
Shen Dinghai thought she was tired from walking, so he took a few steps to her side, ready to pick her up and carry her away.
Ran Ran reached out and held his finger.
Shen Dinghai stood still and patiently prepared to receive instructions from Ran Ran.
What she slowly called out was not his name.
"Dongsheng."
Shen Dinghai followed Ran Ran's gaze to Dongsheng with a confused look on his face.
"Are you taking us the right way?"
The green voice floated into Shen Dinghai's ears, and also into Dongsheng's ears.
Shen Dinghai was confused. Would Dongsheng still lead them down the wrong path?
Dongsheng stopped and turned around to look at Ranran, with no emotion in his black eyes.
The sound of the suona in the back mountain suddenly stopped, and the night was silent and dark.
Shen Dinghai swallowed, and his heartbeat suddenly started to beat wildly.
A soft and thin laugh came faintly, floating on the top of the swaying grass.
Drenched in cold sweat, Shen Dinghai froze in place and did not dare to move. He slowly rolled his eyes. After seeing Ran Ran's vigilant expression, he knew that the laughter was not an auditory hallucination due to his extreme nervousness.
"Hum~"
The laughter stretched into broken whispers and reached everyone's ears.
"Little girl, I realized something was wrong~"
Shen Dinghai rolled his eyes in horror, trying to identify where the sound was coming from.
He was facing Ran Ran, with Wu Pannan standing not far away, and the voice...
It came from behind him!
In that direction, there are only winter students now.
He turned around suddenly, wanting to warn Dongsheng to be careful, but was so frightened by the scene in front of him that he could not speak.
Thick and tall old trees stand irregularly on both sides of the trail. You can come across one every time you walk a certain distance.
Dongsheng is standing under the tree at this moment.
The dark clouds dispersed at some point, and the pale moon hanging in the sky was emitting dim light. Through the sparse branches, it cast light and shadow on Dong Sheng.
The white areas are pale, and the black areas are pitch black.
It's like light and shadow cut him into countless fragments.
On the big tree next to him, there stood a cat with aqua blue eyes. It was completely black and was also cut into irregular pieces by light and shadow.
The long beard also seems to be cut into different lengths in black and white, changing with the shaking.
Every time its beard twitched, a syllable resembling a human voice floated out of its furry mouth.
Shen Dinghai's frightened expression was reflected in his aqua blue eyes, and the black cat laughed happily.
It's what speaks to them.
