So he put aside his doubts and asked Pu Laoshi: "Have there been any big trees near here before?"
Pu Laoshi shook his head decisively: "Since the old man can remember, this place has been a sandy land. Trees and nothing can survive at all, so it has been empty for many years."
"We started growing watermelons a few years ago. A few years ago, a Feng Shui master passed by our village and told us that sandy land could be used to grow watermelons, so we took advantage of this sandy land."
"Mr. Feng Shui also knows how to grow watermelons?" Wang Youde smiled, "That's strange."
Pu Cheng said: "Yes, Mr. Shenji knows a lot, he..."
"What's his name?" Yun Song's heart tightened.
Pu Cheng said: "Mr. Shenji, what's wrong?"
Yun Song looked at Wang Youde, who hurriedly asked: "Are you a little taller than me, and have three wisps of beard, and your face is like a crown jewel? Well, you look good anyway, right?"
Pu Cheng said: "Yes, that's it."
Yun Song frowned and said: "This Mr. Shenji is not a good bird! He asked you to grow watermelons? Then what is his intention?"
He was wary of Mr. Shenji, and his figure appeared quite frequently.
This is very weird.
He had a vague hunch that by using the reputation of dealing with Mr. Shenji to go down the mountain, he might actually have to deal with this man in the future.
Pu Laoshi was at a loss to understand his doubts.
Yun Song asked again: "Watermelons have only been grown here?"
Pu Cheng said: "Yes, no trees have grown anyway!"
"Actually, these are not tree roots," a man next to him gestured and said, "You see, these roots all grow downward, and the deeper they go down, the thicker they become."
Wang Youde said impatiently: "Nonsense, if the roots of the tree don't grow underground, why should they grow above ground?"
When he said this, the village man blushed. He wanted to explain, but after a few gestures he didn't know what to say.
Yun Song's heart lit up after hearing their words.
He understood what this man meant.
He also understood where the awkward feeling he felt before came from!
There's something wrong with these roots!
Yunsong immediately said to the man: "You mean these tree roots grow from the ground, right?"
The man nodded hurriedly: "Yes, real people are smart, that's what I mean!"
"Look at these tree roots. The closer they are to the ground, the more slender they become, and the further down they go, the thicker and stronger they become."
He danced and made gestures again, but he kept making gestures without getting any results.
Yunsong has figured out the situation.
It's true that tree roots grow underground.
But the roots of the tree should become thinner as you go down, and these roots become thicker and thicker as you go down.
So if they are really tree roots, then the tree is not on the ground but under the ground. Its crown points to the ground and the roots are growing toward the ground.
But this is absolutely impossible!
Yun Song wanted to dig deeper and take a look, but everyone was afraid and backed away, not daring to take action.
Seeing this, Yunsong sneered and rolled up his sleeves.
Then he reached out and pushed Pang Yu down and said, "dig down."
Fatty blinked his eyes and looked up at him in confusion with his little fat face raised.
Yun Song stretched out his hand and made a gesture of digging in the sand. Fatty suddenly realized it and started digging with his fat buttocks out.
Sand splashes.
Digging with a shovel is different from digging with a shovel. The shovel has a large force-bearing area and can dig a big hole.
The claws of the 猹 are like bear biscuits and can only dig a hole.
It didn't dig out more and more complicated root systems, but it dug out a piece of rag.
To be precise, it's a piece of blue satin.
Wang Youde picked up the silk and satin and looked at it, wondering: "This is fine Su brocade, and it's quite new. What's going on? Is there a piece of silk and satin buried underneath?"
Yun Song had other guesses in his mind, so he picked up the shovel and dug it out himself.
The cave expanded, and more silk was exposed.
What finally emerged was a person.
Someone is buried underground!
The villagers were even more frightened, and a man quietly ran away.
Seeing this, Wang Youde hurriedly pointed at him and shouted: "Let me control him. Want to run away? No way! Did you kill someone and bury him here?"
The two strong men of the security team immediately raised their old sleeves and pointed them at the man, and the sound of "click" was heard continuously.
The man was so frightened that he fell to his knees: "It's unjust, I'm unjust, Sir, the common people are unjust, how dare I kill someone? I'm the cowardest of all, I don't dare to kill a chicken, how dare I kill someone?"
Wang Youde said angrily: "How dare you quibble? Why are you running away if it's not the person you killed?"
The man cried out in horror: "I'm scared, sir. This man was not killed and buried recently. You see, the silk on his body is brand new. His body has not rotted yet, but there are so many trees growing in this land."
Gen, how is this possible?”
Wang Youde said confidently: "Don't blind me, you are the murderer, I..."
"He is not a murderer," Yun Song interrupted him and said, "You didn't understand what he meant."
"He is saying that this man's clothes are not torn and his body is not decomposed. It was obviously just buried recently, but the soil above his body has already grown so many tree roots. How is this possible?"
"Do these tree roots grow very quickly? Can they grow so many in a few days?"
Listening to his introduction, everyone kept gasping.
It's like putting an exhaust fan on site.
After realizing the strangeness of this incident, more people began to run away.
Two strong men ran ahead with guns in hand.
Wang Youde said: "Why are you running? Wait for me, master! Come back, come back and help me!"
Yun Song shouted: "Why are you running away? It's broad daylight and the scorching sun is shining in the sky. What's so scary? Come back, come back!"
The more he screamed, the faster each one ran.
Yun Song yelled at Pu Laoshi: "This is your village's business. We can leave at any time. Where are you villagers?"
Hit the snake seven inches.
Pu Laoshi suddenly wilted.
He yelled at the villagers: "Why are you running? Come back!"
The men came back tremblingly. Yun Song threw the shovel to them and said with a dark face: "Dig, dig this man out. If you don't figure out what's going on during the day, do you want ghosts to knock on the door at night?"
Some people were scared to tears by these words.
The sand pit expanded and the whole body of the body was exposed.
He was wearing new clothes, new shoes, and a new hat. He was carrying a box in his left hand and a package in his right hand.
The box is a brocade box, and there is a bow on the package.
Pu Laoshi said subconsciously: "Master, wasn't this man killed and buried here? Who would kill someone and bury the things he brought with him, not to mention the box he was carrying in his hand?"
Yun Song also realized this.
This man certainly didn't look like he had been murdered, because his hands were still holding the box and package easily, and when he turned it over to look at the body, there were no scars on his appearance.
There was a smile on his face.
With your eyes closed, it's like having a sweet dream.
If you open your eyes, it will be like seeing your relatives and friends...
Based on this, he thought of more things, but he didn't dare to say them out - it would scare the ignorant and simple villagers:
Judging from the corpse's dress and posture, it seemed like he was going to be a guest!
Pack up nicely and bring gifts to your guests!
Based on this guess, Yunsong continued to expand on what happened in the village recently:
The village lost grain, vegetables and all poultry. It seemed like there was a village underground. Then the villagers learned that a distinguished guest was coming, so they stole grain, vegetables and poultry from Dali Village to entertain him...
But the problem is.
How can there be a village underground?
Could it be the underworld village?
Yun Song shuddered at the thought of this.
The sun was clearly bright and strong above his head, but he felt cold all over.
At this time, Pu Laoshi said fearfully: "Master, let's forget it and bury the hole. We won't care about this melon field for now and let it go like this."
Yunsong was a little reluctant.
But stopping now is indeed the best option.
Because he is just an ordinary person, not a truly advanced Taoist priest.
Once this matter becomes really weird, he won't be able to handle it at all, and it will harm the village instead.
He nodded gloomily, and the men in the village quickly climbed out of the pit and filled it with soil again, as if they had been granted amnesty.
Pang Yu regained his energy and ran to another place to dig soil.
Seeing this scene, Pu Laoshi's knees weakened and he fell to the ground.
Yunsong also felt his scalp was numb.
This is not the only corpse in the melon field!
He went up and picked up Fatty and said, "Let's go!"
The strange incident in the melon field can only come to an end.
No one in the village ever mentioned it again.
Yun Song, Wang Youde and others returned on the same day.
What happened in the melon field was so strange that Wang Youde didn't dare to recall it, so he desperately searched for topics to stop himself from thinking about it on the way.
He kept praising Yun Song, which made Yun Song feel embarrassed.
Yun Song asked him about the beheading village. Wang Youde said in astonishment: "I don't know much about things in the mountains, but Pu Laoshi knows a lot. Why don't you ask him?"
"It's inconvenient for others to say that Fusheng is the supreme deity." Yun Song rolled his eyes, "Don't do to others what you don't want others to do to you!"
Wang Youde began to praise him again.
Brag about his conduct and praise his conduct.
It can be said that he is indeed a highly cultivated person who can actually understand the difficulties of poor people like Pu Laoshi, whose fate is lower than that of a dog.
Yunsong kept saying, "Blessed is the Supreme Heavenly Lord."
He didn't let Pu Chengxin tell the truth about the beheading village not only because he was considerate of the other party and not forcing others to do anything, but also because he didn't want to cause trouble.
According to Pu Laoshi, there is a custom in their place. Once the secrets related to ghosts are discussed, it is easy for the relevant ghosts to come to the door.
So Yun Song thought, if this Pu told the truth about the head-beheading village, and it turned out that there were headless ghosts in the head-beheading village later that came to cause trouble in their village, then he would not care about it?
A gentleman does not stand behind a dangerous wall. Yun Song understands this principle very well.
They walked back more slowly than when they came.
Yun Song took Pang Yu with him. This little thing was chubby and weighed ten kilograms. Yun Song packed it up and carried it on his back, which naturally slowed him down.
Furthermore, they brought Gou Wenwu back to town. This guy was spoiled and had to rest after walking for a while, which slowed down their speed even more.
So they walked for a while and rested. When they returned to the town, the moon was already above the willow trees.
The two strong men of the security team had long been impatient. As soon as they returned to the town, they immediately ran away with their guns on their shoulders.
Wang Youde also wanted to go home and rest, so he said to Gou Wenwu: "Master Gou, let's leave here and see you later."
Gou Wenwu quickly grabbed him, with a smile on his face: "No, no, no, Mayor Wang, stay here, you can take me home, I - I forgot the location of my home!"
