Chapter 9 Chapter 8 Bloodlust
Elm, known as "elm lumps", is said to be hard to understand and hard to cut.
The elm tree in front of me is 25 meters high.The trunk is upright, the branches are spread out, and the crown is nearly spherical or oval.
The bark I picked off was dark gray, rough, and irregularly split.It should have been a typical feature of elm bark, but upon closer inspection, it doesn't look like it.
After thinking for a long time, I wondered: "This tree seems to be grown by grafting tillers."
"Tillers? What's that?" Yiyi and the others didn't understand this technical term.
I explained: "The so-called tillers are the branches that occur below the ground or near the ground in grasses and other plants. They are produced on the relatively enlarged tiller nodes that store rich nutrients. The tiller nodes that issue directly from the base of the main stem are called The first-level tiller can produce new tiller buds and adventitious roots at the base of the first-level tiller, forming a second-level tiller.
"Under good conditions, third- and fourth-level tillers can be formed. As a result, a plant forms many branches that cluster together. The early-stage tillers that can head and bear fruit are called effective tillers, and the late-stage tillers that cannot Heading or heading but not fruiting is called invalid tillering, and effective tillering is directly related to the number of ears per unit area. For example, the number of tillers in wheat will be affected by various conditions such as water, fertilizer, light, temperature, and agricultural measures. If the conditions are appropriate, There are many tillers. Theoretically speaking, the tillers are unlimited. At present, some people use one wheat seed to cultivate hundreds of tillers and more than one hundred ears of wheat."
"You're talking about grass plants. I remember that elms should belong to the family Ulmaceae. Can this also tiller?" Yiyi was very skeptical.
"Yes, but the survival rate is not high, and the method is very harsh." I thought for a moment: "Generally speaking, the tiller joints of elm trees must be grafted on tall trees."
"Then what's wrong with this elm tree." Yiyi looked at my face, something inexplicable flashed in her eyes, "You didn't look very good after reading the bark just now."
I threw away the bark in my hand without intending to answer her question: "It's just a little cold. Let's explain the action!"
"I'm afraid we don't have time." Yiyi looked at the watch on her wrist and stood up: "If we can't escape before half past twelve, we will be in trouble."
"Then explain." I didn't move.
"They say they don't have time." Yiyi said with a sly smile, "Unless you tell me what you found just now."
"Then let's go." I immediately stood up, as if I didn't know what to say.
Yiyi stomped her feet hard, her teeth itching with anger, but she couldn't do anything about me.A group of six cautiously walked out of the garden.I visited all the elm trees along the way, and picked off a bit of bark from each elm tree, but my face became more and more gloomy, and a vague idea gradually came to my mind, a certain idea about this school.
Yiyi waited patiently for me. Although she was extremely curious, she never asked about the bark again.
It took five minutes to walk out of this small garden. The night was getting darker and darker, and the darkness approaching midnight was very mysterious to many people, especially in the deep mountains that lacked lighting. There are very few lights in the Huayuan Bad Behavior Education Center, and there are only a few scattered street lights along the way that glow with dim white light.Students were not allowed to leave the dormitory after ten o'clock in the evening, and the street lamps seemed to become superfluous. The stars on the sky are still very bright, and with the light of the stars, the nearby scene is not difficult to see clearly. Yiyi and the others seem to be familiar with the road, and they seem to visit places whenever they have time, and they have planned their escape plan for a long time.The two of us followed them for more than 300 meters, and the person in front suddenly stopped. "What's wrong?" I asked in a low voice. "Shh!" Yiyi put her fingers to her mouth to make a gesture of silence, and she pointed her eyes not far away. With the dim light around me, I could still see a small piece of paper pasted on the willow tree not far away, but I couldn't really see what was on it. "Is it a school rule?" I asked. Yiyi nodded, "The above is school rule 102, anyone who wanders at night will be killed by the tree." "Killed by a tree?" Zhang Guofeng asked strangely: "How? Trees don't have hands." "I don't know, and I don't want to know." Yiyi replied: "In the past, some people tried to escape at night, but many of them were found hanged on the tree with the school regulations written on it during the day. It looks terrible, with a long tongue hanging, dry body, no drop of blood left on the body, as if sucked clean by the tree. The shriveled corpse will hang on the tree for a whole day, until the next morning. It will disappear, it is estimated that the janitor took it down and buried it in a random place." This school does not hide the death of students, and it seems to be deliberately killing chickens and monkeys.I thought for a while, "Do you have a way not to violate the school rules?" "Of course." Yiyi smiled triumphantly: "For this, we have been preparing for a long time. Although we don't know the specific punishment method in the school regulations, as long as we just play around, it will be fine. Xu Lu!" "Got it." Xu Lu casually picked up a small stone from the ground and threw it over.The stone drew an arc, passed through the tree lightly, and fell not far away. Nothing happened. He just took out something from the backpack on his back.I almost laughed out loud.It turned out to be a rabbit.The rabbit's skin was taupe, and it was small in size. Its legs were kicking wildly in the air, and it was a hare just by looking at its fur. "It's amazing, Xu Lu caught it in the garden with a trap." Yiyi explained: "The school rules here are very mysterious, but after a lot of observation, I found that they still have loopholes." "I also know something about this." I continued: "The school rules only punish one person at a certain period of time, right? In other words, one school rule corresponds to one person, and it disappears after the punishment. Twenty-seven seconds after the offense." "That's right. I didn't expect you to discover so much after only one day. It took me more than half a month to find out by accident." Yiyi and the others were very surprised, "But you must not know the other points. The school rules only respond to two things, one is lifeless humanoid objects. Did you see the doll thrown at the door of the dormitory? The school rules cut it into pieces , we took the opportunity to escape. And the second one is mammals." She paused: "Insects, birds, and school rules are ignored. Only mammals will respond, such as mice, humans, and the rabbit in Xu Lu's hands." As soon as the words fell, Xu Lu had already put the hare in his hand on the ground. The hare was like a runaway wild horse, running forward in fear, changing direction while running.Xu Lu held a long rope in his hand, and whenever the hare changed direction, he would pull it hard and run towards the school rules. After a while, the hare passed through the tree and continued to run. We on the tree side silently counted the seconds in our hearts. Soon, twenty-six seconds passed.In just one to twenty-seven seconds, the hare jumping around suddenly stopped in place.It didn't move at all, as if it was imprisoned by some force, only the head was left looking around in fear. I frowned, it seemed that the punishment of the school rules had worked.But what kind of power was that, I couldn't see what made the rabbit stop.The rest of the people were also shocked, looking into the distance with solemn faces. Under the starlight, the light was not too dark, and the naked eye could clearly see that the hare twitched all over, as if it was in pain.But it didn't have vocal cords, so it couldn't make any sound. Then, its body rose slowly. Only then did we see clearly that something had tied the hare's limbs tightly. In the dim light, I had difficulty seeing clearly.It turned out to be a branch, a branch of a willow tree. That willow tree has many long branches, which hang down to the ground softly like hair, and those branches entangle the hare, and then roll into the air like countless arms. The hare struggled vigorously, but the more he struggled, the tighter he was bound, and the more forceful the branch was, it sank into the rabbit's flesh.Soon, the hare lost its strength, and its head limply turned to one side. It seemed that it was exhaling more air and taking in less air. The six of us looked at each other, and each of us saw the shock in the eyes of the others. "What's going on here? It's a tree, but it can move and roll up a rabbit." Zhang Guofeng murmured, probably quite frightened. Yiyi and the other four did not speak, but just watched quietly.Although the scene in front of him was shocking, for those who had been struggling on the line of life and death for almost half a year, they were almost numb to abnormal phenomena. I paid close attention to the noises beside me, and suddenly pulled everyone under a nearby tree to hide, but my eyes were fixed on the distance to the right. The five people who didn't quite understand my series of actions followed my line of sight, and immediately lowered their heads in fright, leaning their bodies closer to the tree trunk. I saw a figure slowly walking over.His steps were slow and without rhythm, stiff and unhuman. As he got closer, I could vaguely see his appearance.It's Teacher Zhou! His face remained expressionless, like a zombie.He walked slowly to the willow tree, staring blankly at the rabbit hanging upside down in the air with dead fish-like eyes, and after looking at it for a long time, he stretched out his hand to catch the rabbit. Then, a completely unimaginable scene appeared. Teacher Zhou peeled off the fur of the hare with his hands, and bit the rabbit's neck.Immediately, the rabbit's body shriveled as if it had been air-dried, and every drop of bright red blood was sucked into his stomach. Not long after, the rabbit was left with only flesh and blood, and all the blood was sucked away. Only then did Teacher Zhou lick his lips, and finally there was a trace of expression on his face, a trace of rabbit blood being unpalatable.Suddenly, he saw the rope tied to the rabbit's leg, and his eyes suddenly became fierce. He glanced around with his eyes, grabbed the rope with both hands and pulled it hard. Our group was almost paralyzed with fright. Fortunately, the non-human teacher Zhou finished pulling the rope, searched around, but found nothing unusual, and then slowly walked away. After he left for a long time, we let out a long breath. "He found us?" Song Mao asked uncertainly. "I don't know, maybe he was playing hard to get and walked away on purpose, but he was actually watching nearby." Li Kang judged. I looked at Yiyi, and slowly said: "No matter what the situation is, our original plan cannot be implemented. Although we don't know the specific situation of that plan, we can't afford to gamble, let alone lose." Yiyi also nodded, "Not bad. Fortunately, we have a second plan." This girl is really careful, she has already calculated the possible failure situation, and she has two plans.Their determination to escape is indeed very strong! "Your second plan, do you want to talk about it frankly?" I asked lightly. Yiyi smiled slyly again: "The so-called second set of plans, of course, there is no good backup plan for the first set. Since the first set is not explained, the second set is even less valuable to explain." I had a "whatever you want" expression on my face, and didn't say anything more. Zhang Guofeng was a little bit aggrieved, and said angrily: "It's not fair, you dead woman, did you see how dangerous it is just now? We are messing with you with our necks raised, and you want someone to sacrifice your life without saying anything. Exactly how did you, mother-in-law, grow in the head of the melon!" Yiyi ignored him, looking as if he should be beaten up indifferently. I patted Zhang Guofeng on the shoulder, "The six of us are already on the same boat, I believe she won't harm us. For the rest, don't ask too much, it's really not good to ask too much." "Boss, how can you have such a good personality. There are always some people in the world who are bullying and afraid of toughness. You are too reasonable, and people think you are easy to bully!" Zhang Guofeng said aggrievedly. "She has her secrets, and we also have our plans." I smiled slightly, "A cooperative relationship that depends on each other may be the best situation right now." "Brother Buyu is indeed a reasonable person." Yiyi smiled brightly, "Although the name is a bit of a mouthful." "It's better than yours, at least my name is real, and yours is a fake name." I curled my lips. "How come, mine is a real name that is 100% natural, green and pollution-free." She looked at my face, but her expression showed no sincerity, "At least everyone except you thinks so." "Okay, don't chat with me anymore, if you don't leave, you will miss the time." I looked at my watch, it was eleven fifty-six. "Go this way." Yiyi did not talk nonsense, and walked away cautiously towards the right. Zhang Guofeng and I fell in the last position, whispering whispers. "Boss, have you seen Mr. Zhou sucking blood? They don't seem to be very surprised, do they know about it?" he asked. "You guys, you finally have some brains." I said appreciatively, "Looking at the situation, they don't know. It's just that they have encountered too many weird things and have become numb." "But, boss, you don't look too scared, and you are observing the surrounding environment very rationally. Could it be that you have seen many incredible things and are numb?" Zhang Guofeng's intuition is really sharp. I shrugged my shoulders and opened my mouth to blow dead bull, "I have never seen weird and mysterious things, but I have done things like sneaking, peeping, stealing, fighting, taking drugs and so on. "I've been to the police station too, but I heard a story from a brother who was locked up together. It was said that it was a doctor. His wife had an affair with a former classmate of the doctor. He found out that he killed his wife at home. , took his wife's head to find his classmate. "The doctor gave his classmate a drink with an anesthetic in advance. He placed the amount of anesthetic very accurately. It is the kind of person who is still conscious after being anesthetized, but the body cannot move at all. Then the man watched him alive. The doctor cut off his head bit by bit with a knife. "But in the end, when the doctor fled the scene, he accidentally fell into the well in the friend's backyard and got stuck at the bottom of the well. He stepped on his wife's head in order to breathe. "As a result, the next day a thief went to that house to steal something. When he saw a dead person in the house, he was frightened, so he set a fire and burned the whole house down. The wall near the backyard fell down on the ground The top of the well mouth covered the well mouth. The insects in the well took the doctor's body as their home and crawled into his ears and nose..." "Stop talking, it's disgusting!" Zhang Guofeng pretended to be sick. Yiyi and the others listened to my story with their ears sideways, and after listening to it, they all made disgusting faces.Suddenly, Yiyi stopped in her tracks and wondered, "Have you guys smelled some kind of bad smell?" Zhang Guofeng immediately scolded: "Smelly woman, you can't stop talking, you can't scare me. Boss' story..." As soon as he finished speaking, I interrupted him: "There is indeed a stench, very foul, like rotten meat." "It's the smell of corpses." Xu Lu said it concisely and firmly. Yiyi also nodded immediately, with a dignified expression, "Yes, it's the smell of corpses. Remember I mentioned the senior who was hanged under the willow tree just now. Although the smell from those corpses after hanging for a day is not as strong as it is now, it is extremely strong. resemblance." I waved my hand lightly in the air, trying to fan away the strong rancid smell around me.Deep down in my heart, I have already determined that it is the smell of corpses, and it must be the smell of rotting human corpses. Only human corpses can emit this specific stench. "Go and have a look." I said in an unquestionable tone. "Wait, it's too dangerous." Yiyi shook her head immediately, "The direction of the smell is not where I planned, we have no way to judge whether it is dangerous." "It's more dangerous if you don't go," I looked into her eyes: "Since there is a smell of corpses, someone must have died there. If you don't know how that person died, there is no way to go on the road ahead , Actually, you don’t know all the rules of the school rules either.” "I have an idea." I said slowly: "Actually, when our parents signed us to stay, there was already a school rule virtually formed, that is, we cannot leave the school for six months. And the rest The visible school rules are judged based on the length of time each person has been in school and their behavior, and everyone is different. As you all know, the closer the time to leave school, the stricter the school rules." "It has nothing to do with whether we go to see the corpse." Yiyi still didn't let go, "I have to be responsible to my members, and there is no need to satisfy your selfish curiosity." "This has nothing to do with curiosity, but it is closely related to whether we can go out. If you don't believe me, then we will part ways now. Zhang Guofeng, let's go!" After finishing speaking, I ignored her and called My little brother walked towards the source of the smell. Xu Lu looked at my back as I was leaving, and said a few words: "He is right." After speaking, he raised his feet and wanted to leave with me. Yiyi bit her lower lip, her big black and white eyes were also looking in my direction, a trace of confusion flashed across her eyes, and it didn't take long before she stamped her feet vigorously and chased after me. "Bastard! Big bastard!" she yelled at me. "You dictator." I scratched my head.A woman is indeed an unreasonable creature, at least the brain and a man are not of the same structure, so I ignored her inexplicable curses and walked carefully towards the place where the corpse smelled. Fortunately, no school rules were found along the way.To be honest, this section of the road is not easy to walk, it is full of low shrubs, but because of the existence of these shrubs, it is quite safe. The mountain wind blows strongly, and the already very cold spring looks extraordinarily cold in this overcast wind.The range of sight in the bushes is not wide, and we also pay special attention when walking. "Where is this place on campus?" I turned my head and asked behind me. Yiyi snorted and didn't answer, probably still vomiting. Xu Lu said in a low voice: "The northwest side of the school is about two hundred meters away from the outer wall." I thought about it in my mind, and I probably had a preliminary impression.The gate of the school is on the north side, which is also the only exit of the school, and the wall is nearly four meters high and one meter wide, like a solid blockhouse. There is no place to climb on the wall, and it is difficult for people to climb out.As for the northwest corner of the school, according to the survey data before I came, it should be the wasteland on the right side of the playground. And the smell of corpses came directly from that so-called wasteland, could it be that there is something tricky in it? When I think of this, I suddenly become more excited.Maybe the key to all the mysteries lies in that wasteland. A group of six people walked very slowly, and gradually, the bushes in the wasteland had been left behind by us. Not far away is a sparse grove. With the starlight, I can see that most of the groves are sycamore trees.Each of those phoenix trees grew very deformed, and the branches stretched around in weird postures, like ferocious monsters. Under the dim light, those bare sycamore trees without a single leaf actually glowed a blood-red color. I wiped my eyes vigorously, but the blood red still did not disappear.That's the color of a tree trunk! We were very surprised. When we got closer, we found that the bark of the sycamore tree was really dark red. When we sniffed it, there was a faint smell.But this is not the source of the corpse smell. We walked forward for a while, probably in the middle of the wasteland.Suddenly, a large pit appeared not far away. The closer to the pit, the more disgusting the stench. We were so stink that we hardly dared to take a step forward.Suppressing my nausea, I walked over and took a look into the pothole. Suddenly, the whole person was stunned!
It took five minutes to walk out of this small garden. The night was getting darker and darker, and the darkness approaching midnight was very mysterious to many people, especially in the deep mountains that lacked lighting. There are very few lights in the Huayuan Bad Behavior Education Center, and there are only a few scattered street lights along the way that glow with dim white light.Students were not allowed to leave the dormitory after ten o'clock in the evening, and the street lamps seemed to become superfluous.

I curled my lips. "How come, mine is a real name that is 100% natural, green and pollution-free." She looked at my face, but her expression showed no sincerity, "At least everyone except you thinks so." "Okay, don't chat with me anymore, if you don't leave, you will miss the time." I looked at my watch, it was eleven fifty-six. "Go this way." Yiyi did not talk nonsense, and walked away cautiously towards the right.

Zhang Guofeng immediately scolded: "Smelly woman, you can't stop talking, you can't scare me. Boss' story..." As soon as he finished speaking, I interrupted him: "There is indeed a stench, very foul, like rotten meat." "It's the smell of corpses." Xu Lu said it concisely and firmly. Yiyi also nodded immediately, with a dignified expression, "Yes, it's the smell of corpses. Remember I mentioned the senior who was hanged under the willow tree just now. Although the smell from those corpses after hanging for a day is not as strong as it is now, it is extremely strong. resemblance." I waved my hand lightly in the air, trying to fan away the strong rancid smell around me.Deep down in my heart, I have already determined that it is the smell of corpses, and it must be the smell of rotting human corpses. Only human corpses can emit this specific stench. "Go and have a look." I said in an unquestionable tone. "Wait, it's too dangerous." Yiyi shook her head immediately, "The direction of the smell is not where I planned, we have no way to judge whether it is dangerous." "It's more dangerous if you don't go," I looked into her eyes: "Since there is a smell of corpses, someone must have died there. If you don't know how that person died, there is no way to go on the road ahead , Actually, you don’t know all the rules of the school rules either.” "I have an idea." I said slowly: "Actually, when our parents signed us to stay, there was already a school rule virtually formed, that is, we cannot leave the school for six months. And the rest The visible school rules are judged based on the length of time each person has been in school and their behavior, and everyone is different. As you all know, the closer the time to leave school, the stricter the school rules." "It has nothing to do with whether we go to see the corpse." Yiyi still didn't let go, "I have to be responsible to my members, and there is no need to satisfy your selfish curiosity." "This has nothing to do with curiosity, but it is closely related to whether we can go out. If you don't believe me, then we will part ways now. Zhang Guofeng, let's go!" After finishing speaking, I ignored her and called My little brother walked towards the source of the smell. Xu Lu looked at my back as I was leaving, and said a few words: "He is right." After speaking, he raised his feet and wanted to leave with me. Yiyi bit her lower lip, her big black and white eyes were also looking in my direction, a trace of confusion flashed across her eyes, and it didn't take long before she stamped her feet vigorously and chased after me. "Bastard! Big bastard!" she yelled at me. "You dictator." I scratched my head.A woman is indeed an unreasonable creature, at least the brain and a man are not of the same structure, so I ignored her inexplicable curses and walked carefully towards the place where the corpse smelled. Fortunately, no school rules were found along the way.To be honest, this section of the road is not easy to walk, it is full of low shrubs, but because of the existence of these shrubs, it is quite safe. The mountain wind blows strongly, and the already very cold spring looks extraordinarily cold in this overcast wind.The range of sight in the bushes is not wide, and we also pay special attention when walking. "Where is this place on campus?" I turned my head and asked behind me. Yiyi snorted and didn't answer, probably still vomiting. Xu Lu said in a low voice: "The northwest side of the school is about two hundred meters away from the outer wall." I thought about it in my mind, and I probably had a preliminary impression.The gate of the school is on the north side, which is also the only exit of the school, and the wall is nearly four meters high and one meter wide, like a solid blockhouse. There is no place to climb on the wall, and it is difficult for people to climb out.As for the northwest corner of the school, according to the survey data before I came, it should be the wasteland on the right side of the playground. And the smell of corpses came directly from that so-called wasteland, could it be that there is something tricky in it? When I think of this, I suddenly become more excited.Maybe the key to all the mysteries lies in that wasteland. A group of six people walked very slowly, and gradually, the bushes in the wasteland had been left behind by us. Not far away is a sparse grove. With the starlight, I can see that most of the groves are sycamore trees.Each of those phoenix trees grew very deformed, and the branches stretched around in weird postures, like ferocious monsters. Under the dim light, those bare sycamore trees without a single leaf actually glowed a blood-red color. I wiped my eyes vigorously, but the blood red still did not disappear.That's the color of a tree trunk! We were very surprised. When we got closer, we found that the bark of the sycamore tree was really dark red. When we sniffed it, there was a faint smell.But this is not the source of the corpse smell. We walked forward for a while, probably in the middle of the wasteland.Suddenly, a large pit appeared not far away. The closer to the pit, the more disgusting the stench. We were so stink that we hardly dared to take a step forward.Suppressing my nausea, I walked over and took a look into the pothole. Suddenly, the whole person was stunned!
