Chapter 46: Cutting the Crooked Tree with a Knife(1/2)
"call……"
When I dreamed about my mother-in-law, I felt a sudden coolness in my chest, and Hu Ma suddenly woke up.
He saw that he was lying on his back in the hall, with no lights on, and darkness all around him. He thought that Xiao Hongtang had dragged him into the hall.
He couldn't help but stretched out his hand to touch his chest, and felt that the coolness came from the purse where Tang Hui was placed. This coolness was different from evil spirits, and it actually stirred up his dull and hot head.
Very sober.
"Is it my mother-in-law who came to my dream to save me?"
He thought of the dream that seemed to be true and false, and tried his best to stand up.
He lit the oil lamp and used the weak light to find the hatchet used to chop firewood by the wall. Then he took a deep breath and walked out of the house holding the hatchet. Xiao Hongtang followed curiously.
She walked behind him and said, "Brother Huma, what are you going to do?"
"Go and get cured."
Hu Ma gritted her teeth and dragged herself along.
Today, he is still very weak. Every step he takes seems to be shaking, and his brain is about to be shaken.
His body was very heavy, as if something was wrapped around him. There was something hidden in the dark shadows all around, as if it would come over and pull on his arms and legs from time to time.
But he gritted his teeth, forced out the fire in the furnace in his body, and walked over step by step, dragging his heavy body.
From a distance, he saw the crooked-necked tree, with its figure crooked and only its branches left.
But when he got closer, the tree seemed to come alive, its branches swayed, and it let out a weird and terrifying laugh.
Hu Ma's body became heavier, as if he was about to be overwhelmed by the heavy darkness around him.
But at the same time, the furnace in Hu Ma's body also started to burn. This furnace could not dispel his feeling of being suppressed by the invisible force, but it could allow him to stay in front of this twisted strange tree without being overwhelmed, step by step.
, came to the tree.
You can vaguely see traces of burned paper beside the tree, and the soil is fresh, as if something was buried.
But at this time, Hu Ma was so groggy that he couldn't think about it.
Just remembering my mother-in-law's words, I tightened my grip on the hatchet in my hand, raised it with all my strength, and struck the tree hard.
"laugh!"
A large piece of tree bark was opened, and there was a dark hole, as if blood was flowing out.
At the same time, Hu Ma felt a sharp and pitiful cry ringing in her ears, and her dizzy head suddenly became clear.
It wasn't until this moment that Hu Ma's thoughts began to move rapidly, and Hu Ma understood instantly.
"Is someone hurting me?"
"What trick did they use to make me fall into the trap without even realizing it? I almost died."
"Do you just want to kill me and steal my spot in the Red Light Club?"
"..."
Cui Xie'er's appearance could not help but appear in his mind, and for a moment, cold anger shot straight to the top of his head.
He raised the hatchet again towards the bleeding old tree with a crooked neck.
"Hey..."
Today, in the Cui family, the grandmother of the Cui family, who has made great achievements, has asked her daughter-in-law to stew an old hen that lays eggs for her, and she is enjoying her filial piety with a small wine cup.
He snorted coldly: "My children and grandchildren are still useless, they only know how to fight with others. There are many ways in this world that make people dare not mess with us. I don't even think about it. Before the Hu family came to the village, how many people in the village would dare to fight with us?"
Are the Cui family’s noses and eyes wide open?”
"Oh, the old lady from the Hu family came to me at that time and said that I was not good at academics and was too sinister. If I did too many things, there would be backlash. I couldn't fight her, so I had to stop."
"But now, why do we see that it is her Hu family who has suffered backlash and exterminated her descendants?"
"..."
Under the dim oil lamp, Grandma Cui's white hair was messy and she looked proud.
"I know, mother..."
The second daughter-in-law of the Cui family served her carefully: "I will treat you well in the future..."
"Oh……"
But just as he was holding the freshly heated wine flask and was about to fill it up for Grandma Cui, she suddenly saw Grandma Cui's face change drastically, her hair suddenly fell down, and all the chicken bones she was holding in her hand were thrown away.
He reached the side, covering his throat, and his body twitched violently.
"Oops, it's not good, my mother got stuck in the chicken bones when she ate them..."
The second daughter-in-law of the Cui family was shocked and shouted loudly in a hurry.
The eldest and third sons of the Cui family outside also heard it and ran in hurriedly, at a loss.
"no no……"
Grandma Cui held her neck, her eyes were bulging and bloodshot, and she screamed with difficulty: "It's not bones..."
She seemed to be in a hurry to say something, and asked the second and third sons to stop her quickly, but before she could say the words, Hu Ma, in front of the crooked neck old tree, had cold eyes, full of anger, and had already raised the hatchet fiercely.
, struck the crooked neck tree hard with another knife.
The old tree trembled, and its branches trembled.
Grandma Cui took a deep breath of air-conditioning and shouted loudly: "My mother is here..."
This one screamed, and she fell off the bed. Even the small table and the large bowl of old hen's chicken were knocked over, and the soup spilled all over the floor.
At the same time, Hu Ma had already slashed hard for the third time.
Grandma Cui's body stiffened violently, she turned over and vomited out a large mouthful of blood. Her expression was horrified and she had run out of breath.
"What's going on?"
The Cui family had never seen anything like this before, and they were so frightened that they didn't know what to do.
But now Hu Ma, the more he thought about it, the more he understood what was going on. As the three swords were cut, the old tree trembled and blood flowed, and he seemed to understand something from the flowing blood.
It was a strange feeling. He smelled the smell of blood flowing out of the crooked neck tree, and the sinister and twisted face of the old lady of the Cui family seemed to flash before his eyes when she came up with the idea. He also saw several people from the Cui family, discussing what to do.
The image of harming oneself so that Cui Xie'er can rise to power.
This made him angry three times, but he still had murderous intentions.
He gritted his teeth and chopped it off again.
"oops……"
At this time, the Cui family and the boss of the Cui family noticed something was wrong and rushed to get Tang Hui's purse.
But suddenly his body straightened up and he fell down. The Cui family hurriedly turned him over, only to find that one of his eyes was looking up and the other was looking down. He seemed to have lost control, and the corners of his mouth were twisted to one side.
Just drooling.
The third child of the Cui family was so frightened that he shouted: "Go to the patriarch quickly..."
But at this moment, Hu Ma had a cold face and had already slashed hard for the fifth time.
Just as the third son of the Cui family was about to cross the threshold, he suddenly tripped and hit his head on the stone steps, causing blood to gush out.
Beside the crooked neck tree, the sixth knife has been cut.
Behind the village, they were drinking and playing cards with others. They took the opportunity to cause trouble. The fourth son of the Cui family, who was acting like a fool, suddenly twitched his body and cut his own neck with a sickle during the push.
With another blow, the second daughter-in-law of the Cui family suddenly trembled all over, ran out of the house with disheveled hair, and shouted in a hoarse voice:
"Don't look for me, don't look for me, it's my mother-in-law's idea, it's not me who is harming anyone..."
"..."
"Tuk tuk tuk..."
In front of the crooked neck tree, flax was cut one after another.
The Cui family members have also fallen one after another. Now in the old patriarch's house, the second son of the Cui family is chatting with the patriarch's son, Zhou Datong's father. He looks at his son from a distance and listens attentively, feeling very sad.
comfort.
But unexpectedly, I suddenly heard a woman's shrill cry in the distance in the night, vaguely like my mother-in-law's voice, and I stood up hurriedly.
But as soon as he stood up, his vision turned black, and he vaguely seemed to see a monster with disheveled hair.
He held his two skinny hands towards himself and cried loudly: "It's all your Cui family who have harmed others, and I have been implicated as well..."
Just as the second son of the Cui family was about to say something, he became dizzy, fell to the ground, and shrank into a ball.
In the main room, Cui Xie'er was listening to the second master telling him the rules, but the second master looked at Cui Xie'er a few times and became a little uneasy. He couldn't go on and suddenly said: "I'm always a little worried. I have to go to Hu Ma's to have a look."
, let’s see if he’s feeling better now…”
Cui Xie'er felt a little embarrassed for a moment. Just as he was about to speak, he heard a thud outside.
I hurriedly ran out and saw that my father had shrunk into a ball and lost his breath.
