Chapter 112:

The village under the cover of the night was dead, and there was no such thing as a worming bird. It was as if there were no living creatures besides them within a hundred miles.
Xiao Yuqiu turned over in the house, but only turned to some bits and pieces of daily necessities, did not find any important plots and clues, of course, did not find any stocks - it seems that the middle-aged people really did not lie They, there is no food on this island that can survive for a long time.

There should be no shortage of water resources on this island,
Xiao Yuqiu turned to look at the enamel cup, which still has water.
There may be rivers or groundwater.

"But we didn't see the river when we came. If there is a river, it may be deep in the island," Xiao Yuqiu paused and continued to say, "...but it's too strange, since the sea here is not buoyant, How did those outsiders come from? I thought at the beginning that they had drifted to the island after a shipwreck."
Tang Mianmian thought about it: "Maybe it is a plane crash? After the plane crashed, it fell to the island?"
"Unless the plane just falls to the island, it will sink in the nearby waters," Xiao Yuqiu shook his head. "The island is not big. If the plane crashes, the island is gone."
"Damn, I should continue to ask the guy! I actually let him run!" Duan Hongjun was a bit unwilling. "We should just have a person down and look at the guy." They have not eaten in this kind of thing for a long time. .
"Forget it, the horse cannon is useless," Xue Junli frowned. "They can't really disappear out of thin air, look for it."
"It is obvious that the guy can't go out after dark. How can he disappear now?" Duan Hong snorted. "And the whole village is gone!"
At this time, Xiao Yuqiu suddenly turned a photo on the bed of a middle-aged man. Of course, it was a bed. In fact, it was just a simple wooden bed made up of bamboo. Even the quilt was just broken and Old heavy cotton coat.
He just picked up the big cotton coat and a photo fell.
He picked it up and found it was a yellowed old photo. The photo was a group photo of a young couple. A young man and a woman smiled at the camera with a happy face. The wife’s abdomen was slightly raised and apparently pregnant. .
"What photo?" Tang Mian Mian came over and saw what he suddenly found. "Who is this man? How is it like the middle-aged man just now? Is it his photo when he was young?"
"No, this photo is not very old. It should have been filmed for a few years. The middle-aged man was so young, it was at least 20 years ago," Xiao Yuqiu shook his head. The photos ten years ago could not have been so new."
"That is his son? His son and his daughter-in-law?" Tang Mian Mo touched his chin. "No, even if the father and son look like it, it will not be exactly the same, even the one under the mouth." Stay in the same position."
The young man in the photo, except for the younger than the middle-aged man, is 20 years old and looks exactly the same as the middle-aged man. Even the one is exactly the same.
Xiao Yuqiu squinted and said: "...I think it should be the same person."
"But the age is not right! The man in the photo is only in his twenties. The middle-aged man is at least forty," Tang said, touching his chin. "This photo is not so good." ?"
Xue Junli suddenly said: "There should be no twenty years, the electric kettle has broken, but if it has been used for 20 years, the degree of loss is definitely not like that."
A few new people on the side heard the clouds, and a newcomer finally couldn’t help but ask: "What do you mean? What have you been discussing about?"
Xiao Yuqiu looked at the newcomer and said faintly: "Assume that these outsiders really landed on the island because of shipwrecks or air crashes. We are speculating on how long they have come, based on that photo and the things he brought. Something, he should only live on this island for a few years... but his current age and the age of the photo are not good." Even if the person in the photo should be more than twenty years later, it should be less than thirty. But he is actually more than forty and fifty.
"What's the matter?" the new man said casually. "Maybe he is very old on the island. After all, he can't sleep well and suffer from vicissitudes."
Another newcomer can't help but say: "I can't be old enough to be the age of forty or fifty years old? More than 20 people look older than my dad!"
Tang Mian Mian couldn't help but open his mind: "Is the time flow on the island different from the normal time flow on our body?"
Xiao Yuqiu frowned. "If this woman is his wife, what about his wife?"
Tang Mian Mian guessed: "Maybe already dead? Dead in the air crash or shipwreck?"
"No," Yu Yu suddenly said. "There are some feminine items in this house, and there are traces of being used. I think his wife should not die... at least not in the disaster."
"Maybe we just haven't seen it yet?" Tang Mianmian continued to speculate.
"Right, what about the piece of meat?" Xiao Yuqiu suddenly remembered something, "What piece of meat did he bring back?"
"I'm missing, he ate?" Tang Mian Mian casually said, "So big piece of meat, and he can eat it in a few minutes... or be taken away by him."
Xiao Yuqiu took the photo up: "Let's go search for another room."
So they worked together to search all the houses in the village, but they still found nothing in vain.
"Forget it, it seems that there is really no clue, go find the tree of God." Xue Junli said lightly.
Xiao Yuqiu nodded, they really can't waste too much time here, after all, their time is only one day.
Seeing that they were preparing to leave the village, a newcomer couldn’t help but ask: "Can you really bring us together?"
Duan Hongjun raised his eyebrows: "You don't want to stop us, but if you are in danger, we won't take care of you."
The few newcomers face each other, and most of them chose to stay. Only a newcomer silently followed Xiao Yuqiu behind them.
Xiao Yuqiu looked back and found that he was the young man who was preparing to save the water. He picked up his eyebrows and did not speak.
At this time, the night was deep, and the woods under the night were dark and secretive. From a distance, the black-skinned trees that grew densely piled up like black beasts with claws and claws.
After everyone went deep into the jungle, Xiao Yuqiu found that the surrounding area was getting colder and colder, and the trees were getting denser and denser. The appearance of the long thorns seemed to be getting more and more sloppy. His back was cold and even produced. There are countless eyes in the woods that are staring at his illusion.
At this time, a scream was suddenly heard not far away.
"Someone!"
Xiao Yuqiu subconsciously blurted out. .
"This is impossible!" Yu Yu frowned. "I just realized that I have not detected any signs of living!"
Tang Mian Mian paused: "...maybe not a living person."
Duan Hongjun smiled and said: "Go first!"
The crowd immediately rushed over to the place where the screams came.
Soon, they saw a shocking scene... a tree is eating people!
A black-skinned tree with a barb is eating, and I saw a huge flower-shaped mouth in the big hole in the center of the trunk. The mouth is covered with jagged teeth, and it has almost That person swallowed half!
Xiao Yuqiu rushed up without hesitation, facing the strange tree is an arrow, with a magical arrow to kill the attack is very strong, all of a sudden into the trunk, into the wood three points!
But at this time, the strange tree suddenly screamed!
Xiao Yuqiu couldn't help but make a move. This strange tree actually made the same screams as people, and it was still a woman's voice...
Just as he was blaspheming, the next second, the branch of the strange tree that had been criss-crossing suddenly suddenly had a violent temper, and the barbs with barbs stretched out toward him.
Tang Mianmian immediately rushed forward, cut off the branches of the strange tree with a knife, the moment the branches broke, the squirt actually spewed out the juice.
Xiao Yuqiu frowned: "...is blood!"
He immediately smelled the strong rust in the air, and the juice like blood was actually blood!
"The trough, what!!" Tang Mianmian also smelled the smell, and suddenly the whole person was not good. "Is this a tree or a person?"
Xiao Yuqiu: "...maybe a tree man."
Tang Mian Mian Mouth corner: "Zhou Shuren?"
On the other hand, Duan Hongjun and Xue Junli joined forces and quickly saved the one who was half eaten by the tree.
Fortunately, they saved in time, this guy only broke one arm, the blood of the wound was blurred, but the fracture was very neat, it looked like it was bitten by a bite, but fortunately saved a life.
They turned the man over and looked at it, and suddenly he was shocked... This guy who had an arm in the blame tree was clearly a middle-aged man who had just been stunned by them!
The middle-aged man was still conscious, and when he saw Xiao Yuqiu and others, he suddenly shook and shivered.
Duan Hongjun raised his eyebrows: "You are just right, we have a lot of questions to ask you."
The middle-aged man shivered more and more: "I... I don't know anything..."
Duan Hongjun sneered a sneer.
On the other side, Xiao Yuqiu and Tang Mianmian teamed up and cut down the countless trees that tried to attack them. The leaves of the strange trees that were originally sparsely pulled were less, and turned into a bald tree in a blink of an eye.
Whenever they cut a branch, the break will spurt countless blood.
Seeing the fallen leaves, the middle-aged man finally couldn’t help but shuddered and shouted.
"Stop! Don't!"
"why?"
Xiao Yuqiu said on the mouth, the movements on his hands did not stop, and soon, it was the fallen leaves of the land.
The middle-aged man struggled to climb up. The whole person was blocked between Xiao Yuqiu and others and he screamed with all his strength: "Don't hurt it! Please don't hurt it!"
Xiao Yuqiu stopped his hand and said coldly: "Are you crazy? It just killed you just now!"
"Don't hurt it!"
The middle-aged man repeated hysterically: "Don't hurt it! Don't hurt it!"
Xiao Yuqiu asked coldly: "Why?"
"Because...because..." The middle-aged man hesitated for a long time before he began to speak hard. "This is my wife..."
Xiao Yuqiu couldn't help but raise his eyebrows. Although he had already predicted this answer, he heard the middle-aged man personally admit that he still had some unbelievable... A living person turned into a man. tree? !
At this moment, he suddenly felt that his feet were light, and the whole ground was collapsed. Something grabbed his ankle and smashed him deep into the ground!
Tang Mianmian looked at Xiao Yuqiu and was dragged under the ground by a thick tree root protruding from the ground. It disappeared in a blink of an eye.
The newcomer was shocked and shouted: "Ah!"
Tang Mianmian immediately glanced at the middle-aged man: "... Are you deliberate?"
The middle-aged man is still the look of fear: "Don't hurt my wife..."
"This is a trap!" Tang Mianmian reacted instantly.
The next moment, he also found a thick tree root under his feet, and soon he was taken to the depths of the earth!
Duan Hongjun and Xue Junli looked at each other and they didn't have time to act. They also had thick roots under their feet.
Next is Yu Yu and Celluloid. In a blink of an eye, only the newcomer is left in place.
The newcomer dared to look around for a circle, and surely only left him.
He subconsciously took a step back, but heard the middle-aged man tremble and continued to say: "... don't hurt my wife... she is just pregnant... she is hungry..."
"She is just hungry... she is pregnant... sorry..."
The middle-aged man replied over and over again, and finally he trembled at the new man: "I'm sorry... but for my children..."
The new man was chilly, and as he prepared to turn around and ran, the strange tree withered leaves suddenly burst into a scream of tears.
"Ah!"
He was shocked and subconsciously slammed his feet. The next second, the ground suddenly blew a lot of blood out of thin air.
The middle-aged man suddenly widened his eyes: "Wife! Wife!"
The strange tree made a scream of savage, at this time, Xiao Yuqiu re-drilled from the ground, he was covered in mud and blood, and his right hand was holding a large tree root that was cut off.
The middle-aged man shouted incredulously: "This is impossible!"
The next moment, those who were dragged to the depths of the ground climbed out one by one. Tang slammed a mouthful of mud and threw a tree root on the ground: "What stuff! Actually let me eat!"
"No! No!" The middle-aged man rushed over and used the remaining hand to pick up the broken roots. The trunks were still squirming and squirming. It seemed to have life. "Wife! Wife !"
Xiao Yuqiu patted the soil on his body and turned around to re-evaluate the strange tree. After they cut off the roots of the roots, the strange tree was finally a lot more honest, and even some were dying.
"Truthfully tells everything," he stepped forward and re-attached the crossbow to the middle-aged man's throat, threatening coldly. "No more fainting, or I will start directly. The first question, this tree is really Is your wife?"
The middle-aged man held the root of the tree with the remaining hand, and looked at Xiao Yuqiu with anger and anger. However, under the threat of Xiao Yuqiu’s military force, he still shuddered and opened his mouth:
My wife is just hungry. It’s been... she hasn’t eaten anything for a long time...and she’s pregnant...

Xiao Yuqiu looked back and saw that it was not the case. The trunk of the strange tree seemed to be a little more than the other trees... but the problem is that this is a tree! Can a tree have children like children?
wrong! This is strictly speaking... the tree man?
"Why is your wife a tree?" Xiao Yuqiu frowned and asked, "Are you not from the island? What happened after you came to the island?"
Seeing middle-aged men holding the roots and not talking, Xiao Yuqiu sneered and threatened: "Come on, or I will cut all the remaining roots."
The middle-aged man trembled abruptly and confessed to it -
It turned out that this guy and his wife really experienced a shipwreck, but they did not drift from the sea to the island.
"...our ship has encountered a tsunami, the ship has turned over, and my wife and I have fallen into the sea," the middle-aged man continued to say numbly. "I thought I would be drowned, but I found myself in a blink of an eye." It appeared on this island."
"Oh? It appeared on the beach in a blink of an eye?" Xiao Yuqiu asked.
"No, it is the forest in the middle of the island. To be precise, it is under the tree of God." When it comes to the tree, the middle-aged man begins to show the expression of devout worship. "I woke up with my wife." Under the tree of God, the tree of God saved us."
Xiao Yuqiu frowned: "And then?"
The middle-aged man continued to say with his pious expression. Then they met the indigenous people on the island, but those people were not the original aborigines. They were also survivors of various shipwrecks. After they survived the disaster, they all appeared under the tree of God with their eyes open.
They thought that it was the tree that saved them and they were very religious and admired. The middle-aged man and his wife were not particularly religious at first, but then they found that there was no food on the island, and the tree provided them with The only food, plus they can't leave the island, the worship of the tree began to grow.
Xiao Yuqiu frowned. The worship of the tree on this island made him involuntarily think of the copy of the previous ghost night. The two are too similar.
"Wait a minute... How many years have you been on this island?" Tang Mianmian suddenly interjected and asked.
The middle-aged man trembled and said: "...two years."
"What a joke? You are only in your twenties?"
The middle-aged man was silent for a long time before he said in a hoarse voice: "I am twenty-eight years old this year."
"Wait, are you really in your twenties?" Tang Mianmian couldn't believe it. "You said that you are almost the same forty-eight! And... ‘have ‘what is it? 28 is it old?

The middle-aged man suddenly trembled abruptly, then trembled and continued to say: "On this island, twenty-eight years old is very old..."
Xiao Yuqiu frowned. "What do you mean?"
The middle-aged man was silent for a long time, and he said with a hoarse voice: "Because the people on this island... are not alive..."
He went on to say that the first group of people who came to the island only came for more than a decade, but only the last survivor was left in the group, and the survivor came to the island that year. However, in his teens, he is now an old man.
Xiao Yuqiu cold and cold: "And then? Continue."
The middle-aged man continued to say that he had just arrived on the island. There were several survivors among the first people who came to the island, but they gradually lost their language skills and could hardly communicate with others. Even the IQ seems to have dropped a lot, only the instinct to eat, and it will not be long before they disappear.
Xiao Yuqiu fell into silence. The time flow rate on this island is obviously different from that in the normal world, but this is not terrible. From the normal human beings, it is the most terrible to gradually degenerate into the lower animals that only eat instinct. If he stays on this island, he will retreat into a lower animal without IQ, and he will be cold for a while.
Tang Mianmian finally couldn’t help but say: "It’s all like this. Do you still worship the tree?"
The middle-aged man looked numbly and looked at Tang Mianmian: "If there is no tree, we have already starved to death..."
"But if you grow old, you will degenerate. Maybe it is the tree that is doing ghosts!"
The middle-aged man repeated the sentence: "If there is no tree, we have already starved to death."
"Forget it, he made it clear that he has been brainwashed, why bother to argue with him!" Duan Hongjun laughed and asked the middle-aged man with a knife in his hand. "What happened to your wife becoming a tree?"
The middle-aged man looked numbly and looked at Duan Hongjun, then continued to say -
It turned out that when they first came to the island, they were warned by others that they should not run around at night, but one night his wife ran out inexplicably. He woke up and found that his wife was gone, and immediately ran out to find out. I witnessed my wife being eaten by a strange tree.
The middle-aged man slashed the knife with a heartbroken knife and buried the remaining half of the body.
When he came here to pay homage to his wife and unborn child the next day, he found that his wife had a tree growing out of his body.
After that, he will come to see every few days, seeing that the tree grows bigger and bigger, the longer it grows...
Xiao Yuqiu couldn't help but chill on his back: "How can you be sure that this tree is your wife?"
The middle-aged man said dumbly: "I certainly know, I can sense it... this is my wife... my wife and the child I have not yet born..."
He reached out and touched the trunk of the strange tree with a loving face, and continued to mutter: "Look at it... this is my child... my child is here..."
