Chapter 36 Conflict

"Zhao Wei!"

When despair was about to swallow Zhao Wei, a man's voice rang out of the woods.

"Zhao Wei! Are you in the woods?"

"Zhao Wei!"

It’s Duan Xu, Wang Changhe, and Chen Xinyue and the others!

They came, and they all came to save themselves!

It was difficult for Zhao Wei to explain his inner feelings at this moment. The joy of living in the desperate situation instantly cleared the fear in his mind. Zhao Wei shouted desperately: "I am here!"

Soon, Duan Xu and his team's footsteps came over.

The light of the flashlight shone on Zhao Wei's face.

"Zhao Wei, why are you here? What happened?"

Chen Xinyue squatted beside him and asked.

Zhao Wei then remembered that there was an unknown village chief not far away. He quickly grabbed Chen Xinyue's hand and shone the light of the flashlight on the other side.

However, there was no one there at this moment.

"What's wrong?" Wang Changjiang asked nervously.

Zhao Wei looked around in surprise and whispered: "It's the village chief. When I woke up, I found out that he seemed to be looking for something in the woods. It's probably just looking for me!"

At this time, Zhao Wei saw Duan Xu walking over. He squatted on the ground, looked at the ground a few times, and stood up again.

"Someone has indeed been here." Duan Xu turned his head and looked deep in the gloomy woods, "He just left."

"Don't be mysterious. What's the use of saying something unsure is besides creating panic?" Chen Xinyue stared at Duan Xu and said dissatisfiedly.

Duan Xu turned his head and looked at him: "If you think that trace science is a mysterious subject, then I have nothing to say."

Meng Yue came to Duan Xu and asked in a low voice: "Have you learned about traces?"

"I've seen it." Duan Xu obviously didn't want to talk about this topic.

He glanced at everyone and said, "Let's talk in another place."

No one opposed this proposal. Soon, under the leadership of Hua Jiyun, the group came to Ayun's farmhouse.

Ah Yun seemed to have already fallen asleep, after all, it was getting late now.

Duan Xu and the other six did not make any noise. They gathered at the dining table on the first floor, just about to figure out what happened just now.

"You mean, when you entered the mountain, you also met that tour guide Gao Lan?" Chen Xinyue looked surprised and suspicious.

"That's right, it was Gao Lan who took me and Meng Yue into Huai Village." Zhao Wei nodded.

After all, he is not a newcomer. Although he was scared to the point of being scared just now, he quickly stabilized his emotions and began to sort out the whole story with everyone.

"So too." Duan Xu said.

"I...I am too..." Hua Jiyun tentatively raised his hand.

"So, Gao Lan is undoubtedly the evil ghost. The story he told us when he entered the mountain. He also did the villagers who died in the cave of the locust tree in the story." Meng Yue whispered.

"Have you found information about the villager who died in a tree hole?" Zhao Wei asked.

Wang Changjiang looked around and said, "I found out that the man who died in a tree hole, named Xie Hua, was an orphan who grew up eating a hundred families. When he became an adult, he went to the city. After he came back, he got some money from somewhere. He used that money to contract a piece of orange forest in the back mountain."

"Xie Hua's wife and daughter are still in the village. We can go to his house to check it out tomorrow." Chen Xinyue said with his eyes narrowed.

"Wait, Gao Lan's story says that the villagers are unwilling to pursue Xie Hua's death. What about his wife and daughter? Did they not object at that time?" Meng Yue said in confusion.

"Take," Chen Xinyue looked disdainful, "Do they dare to have any objections?"

Meng Yue opened her mouth and didn't say anything again.

"Lotus tree..."

While everyone was silent, a subtle voice suddenly appeared.

Everyone turned their heads in unison, and the person who made the sound was Hua Jiyun.

"What did you think of?"

Duan Xu asked.

Hua Jiyun's eyes looked straight ahead, her pupils were pure black, and Meng Yue was in front of her, but her eyes seemed to penetrate Meng Yue and looked at a place outside the house.

This feeling was extremely strange, which made the people in the room feel a sense of physiological discomfort.

"He sold the locust trees..."

Hua Jiyun's voice was different from the timidity just now, and she was a little more dull and dumb.

"Bang!"

A loud slap suddenly slapped Hua Jiyun in the face.

Her strange state was quickly broken, and her left face turned red quickly.

The scorching pain made her eyes full of fear and grievance. She looked at Chen Xinyue in a dodge and dared not speak.

"Don't use your damn eyes to look around! Are you trying to attract ghosts and kill us all? Ah?" Chen Xinyue stared at Hua Jiyun from a high place, his eyes red, and he was breathing heavily.

His movements were too fast, Duan Xu, who was on the other side of the table, had no time to react, and the slap fell on Hua Jiyun's face.

"Why hit her?"

Duan Xu stood up expressionlessly.

He stared at Chen Xinyue and leaned forward slightly.

Chen Xinyue stared at Duan Xu without showing any weakness and said sarcastically: "What? Do you want to stand up for her? Do you know what she is? Do you like to stand up for her? Do you like her? Want to save the beauty with a hero?"

"I'll tell you, she..."

"Pong—"

Before Chen Xinyue finished speaking, he saw a common wooden bench in the countryside suffocating his right face.

No one expected Duan Xu to take action suddenly, and he took action so quickly and so ruthlessly!

He picked up the bench under his butt and swung it over without saying a word.

Chen Xinyue's right face was sturdy against a bench and fell to the wall dizzyly. His right face soon became red and swollen.

"Cough...pah..."

Chen Xinyue held the wall and spit out a bubble of bloody saliva.

Strangely, he not only wasn't angry, but he suddenly laughed.

"Hehe... you hit me..."

He squatted down and picked up a tooth from his saliva.

"You sniffed my teeth, Duan Xu..."

Chen Xinyue exaggeratedly spread his lips with his hands and exposed the upper gum that had a missing tooth.

"Did you see it? Remember what I look like..."

Chen Xinyue pinched his teeth, walked to the door with a sway, and looked back at Duan Xu: "Remember me, Duan Xu, hehe..."

He smiled strangely and opened the door, walked into the night, and soon disappeared.

"So, it was Xie Hua who had the idea of ​​the old locust tree, which caused a curse of the thousand-year-old ancient tree. This curse was fed back to the villagers and killed himself, right?" Duan Xu put down the bench and sorted out a logic as if nothing had happened.

It was not until this time that Zhao Wei and others realized what had happened in just a few dozen seconds.

Everyone's eyes fell on Duan Xu's face.

Hua Jiyun was even more strange. She didn't cry even when she was beaten, but she suddenly burst into tears. Her expression was still dull. Obviously, she didn't even notice anything on her face.

"Maybe, that's the case..."

Meng Yue replied subconsciously, the scene in her mind was still repeating the violence of Duan Xu at that moment just now.

Calm and arrogant, decisive and ruthless...
