Chapter 34 Chapter Thirty-One

Jianluo Deyang, there is no living and working in peace and contentment as imagined, but only desolation. In the past when he was in Yong'an, Jing Tian often heard rumors and talks from all over the world.Merchants from the northwest say that Deyang is a town of prosperity with simple folk customs, without picking up lost items on the road, and without closing their doors at night.Unexpectedly, as soon as he set foot on the land on the outskirts of Deyang, he found that there were many ragged beggars on both sides of the post road close to the county seat.What's more, many green and tender young trees on both sides of the road were also peeled off piece by piece, and eaten greedily, leaving pieces of shocking paleness.

Seeing such a tragic situation, even though he didn't know it for a while, Jing Tian hurriedly distributed all the scattered money on his body to the poorest refugees.It's just that there are more and more such bleak scenes, and finally it's beyond the reach of one person, and Sedum can only sigh and concentrate on walking. After entering Deyang County, Sedum and the others began to inquire about the location of the chief rudder of Thunderbolt Hall.Who knew that the local people, hearing the word "Thunderbolt Hall" was like hearing the name of a vicious tiger, leopard, and poisonous insect!They were all terrified, fearing that they would not be able to avoid it, so they would not explain the details to Jing Tian.

Not only that, seeing these young men and women from other places inquiring about Thunder Martial Hall everywhere, they looked like they didn't know what to do, and many ordinary people looked at them as if they were looking at some dead people! At the beginning, Sedum only said that the Thunder Martial Hall was so cruel that the local people were terrified.Gradually, as he went through the streets and alleys to inquire in many ways, he realized something from the words of some residents who accidentally leaked: this martyrdom is not only scary, but also the chief culprit of Deyang's depression of all businesses and ten thousand households!

Ever since Sedum entered the city, his eyes had been very cold when he saw the cold street scene and the bleak people's livelihood; now that he got this information, his eyes had become extremely cold again.The problem now is not just helping Tang Xue to avenge her family; he wants to do his part for all the suffering people in Deyang and deal the biggest possible blow to Thunder Martial Hall! While walking the streets looking for clues, Jing Tian suddenly found a gray-haired old man next to a dilapidated private house, who was talking to a young man about something, and sighed from time to time.Seeing his gray temples and lonely eyes from a distance, Sedum's already depressed heart seemed to be touched by something suddenly.He motioned slightly to Tang Xuejian and Solanum nigrum, then walked forward, bowed to the old man, and asked if there was anything difficult to solve.

After a simple exchange of pleasantries, Jing Tian knew that the old man was called Yuan Yingdong, and the young man next to him was his grandson Yuan Qin. Yuan Yingdong complained to the enthusiastic foreigners like Jingtian: "Oh! My grandson is spoiled by me..." "What's the matter? I think Big Brother Yuanqin looks refreshed, and he doesn't look like a prodigal." "Young man, you don't know. Our family has been growing and selling flowers for several generations, and we have been making a living from this flower garden." After hearing these words, Sedum, Tang Xuejian, and Solanum nigrum realized that the area surrounded by many dead trees was actually a flower garden!However, it is spring and summer now, if it is really a flower garden, it should be full of flowers.

"You don't think this looks like a flower garden, do you? Heck, it doesn't look like it now, if you ask me!" The old man Yuan Yingdong was very sad. "Why did it become like this?" "Ahem, for some reason this year, those flowers are all dead, no matter how you plant them, they won't survive! It's the crabapple plant in my yard, here—" the old man Yuan pointed behind him, "Look, what's the season? Yes, the trees are still full of flowers..." "It's because our crabapple is well raised!" At this time, the old man's grandson, Yuan Qin, spoke.Yuan Qin was a little impatient with his grandfather's nagging, and said: "It's not winter yet, so it's open as soon as it's open, what's the fuss?"

"You boy, how many times have I told you that you just don't listen! It's not that I made a fuss. I heard that there have been goblins everywhere recently, and such strange things have happened in our flower garden. Only this crabapple blooms strangely. Maybe it's something The flower demon and the tree monster are making trouble!" The old man Yuan turned to Sedum and the others, "You say, I plan to cut it down, but Qiner refuses to let it go. Please help me judge it!" "It's just impossible to cut it!" Yuan Qin's younger temper also came up, and he argued with his neck, "Grandpa, this was planted for me by my parents when I was full moon. Now that they are gone, all I have left is this thought." , You can’t cut anything!”

"You...you...you really want trees and don't want your life! I'm so mad at you!" Old man Yuan saw that his grandson wouldn't let him cut down the tree, he was really pissed off! "Old man, I think you are worrying too much." After more than a month of ups and downs, Jing Tian understood many things, "Grandpa, although I don't have as much knowledge as you, there are some things in this world that really It’s more important than safety for a while. The grass and trees are ruthless, what harm can they do? Since this tree is so important to Big Brother Yuan, it’s better to keep it.”

"That's right!" Yuan Qin was overjoyed to see this young man with extraordinary aura supporting him, "Look, this young man who looks like he came from a big place said so, Grandpa, you will be suspicious!" At this point, Yuan Qin heard some movement behind him, turned his head suddenly, and exclaimed suddenly: "Hey! That little girl, don't touch my flowers!" Sedum heard the sound and looked, but saw that it was Tang Xuejian who had walked into the yard, standing in front of the blossoming crabapple tree, raised her face and stretched out her hands to fiddle with the flowers.

"It's really annoying," Yuan Qin was a little annoyed, "Isn't it just that the flowering period is longer, everyone passing by comes to see, what's so rare..." It can be seen that Yuan Qin really loves this crabapple tree.Even though she knew that Tang Xuejian was the fellow of this enthusiastic young hero, she couldn't help but mutter a few words. "Sorry! I'll remind her." Sedum apologized quickly. "Oh, please go over and tell her, young man, just enjoy the flowers and don't touch them with your hands. The turbid air in your body will soon wither when it touches the delicate petals!"

"it is good!" Sedum hurriedly greeted Tang Xuejian loudly, telling Tang Xuejian to watch the flowers carefully.Seeing him yelling, Miss Tang was not very happy.But the girl thought again, in front of outsiders, men want to save face, and now she is accompanied by a beautiful little sister who obeys Jing Tianyan, she can't be careless. So, Tang Xuejian couldn't hold back her unhappiness, she was calm, she looked back and smiled, and said "um" softly——her smile was sweet, and against the red flowers beside her, she was charming and charming, and she was more charming than flowers ! "Ugh!" Settle down the active girl here, but Jingtian heard the old man Yuan sigh: "Young man, although the old man knows what you just said is right. But cutting down trees is not right. If you don't cut down trees, you don't feel at ease. Alas, it's all my fault." Bitter, why did I get involved in this strange thing! Cough cough!" "Oh? Old man," after hearing the old man's out of breath, Jing Tian looked at him carefully, but suddenly found that the old man's complexion was very bad, so he hurriedly asked, "Are you feeling unwell? What disease?" "Well... I've been a little dizzy recently... It's okay, ahem, it's like this when people get old." "That can't be done. If it's a disease, it needs to be cured. Why haven't you—" As soon as Jing Tian said this, he noticed that the old and the young in front of him looked at each other with embarrassing expressions on their faces.Jing Tian swept his eyes and saw the dilapidated condition of the grandparents and grandson's family, and immediately knew why they were embarrassed. "Grandpa Yuan, Brother Yuan, don't worry! I will find a way to find a cure for you!" "thanks……" Seeing this young hero being so warm-hearted, the Yuan family, the elder and the younger, were overwhelmed with gratitude and rubbed their hands vigorously, not knowing what to say for a moment.After murmuring for a while, the old man Yuan finally thought of an excuse: "Young man, you accompany the two girls to enjoy the flowers here slowly, and you can watch as long as you want. The old man also wants to send potted plants to Wang Yuanwai, and Yuan Qin also It's time to study. Alas, his parents died early, and it was my son and daughter-in-law's wish to let him study since he was a child. This poor family is still studying, but you are laughing at me, Shaoxia..." "That's impossible! Don't people often say 'poems and books have been handed down for a long time'! It's okay, you are busy with your own work, and I will hang around here, and then I will find medicine for the old man!" After Yuan's family, old and young, all left to go to work, Sedum began to take a stroll.At this moment, Tang Xuejian called him tenderly: "Sedum! Come and see, how beautiful this flower is! It's so rare! Come and see!" "Really! Let me take a look." Sedum happened to be bored, so she hurried over to enjoy the flowers.When he ran, the blue nightshade followed closely like his shadow.However, before Sedum and Solanum nigrum came close, Tang Xuejian's expression was very strange!The girl who was lively and lively just now has her eyes straightened!She stared at the pink crabapple flowers all over the tree without moving, and murmured to herself like a dream: "I have never seen such a beautiful flower. Looking at it, I don't want to move my eyes away... " "No! There is something weird here!" Sedum was very anxious, and shouted anxiously, "Xuejian! Don't look at it anymore, look at me!" "Why should I look at you? Hush! Don't talk..." Xue Jian's expression suddenly became vivid again at this moment, "Xiaotian, do you believe it? I can hear the voice in the heart of this crabapple, it's very sad ..." "Ugh!" Sedum was astonished, "Could this be the legendary 'auditory hallucination'?" Just as he was about to call Xue Jian back to his senses, he felt a flash of flowers in front of him.After taking a closer look, he unexpectedly found that a beautiful woman with red makeup in colorful clothes suddenly appeared in front of the clear sky and sunny day!
