Chapter 28 Chapter 28: The Mysterious Shadow Hiding in the Big Tree

"What's the matter? What's on your mind?" Zhang Yaoye asked standing behind Riwobuji. Riwobuji looked back at Master Zhang Yao, but did not speak. Zhang Yaoye took out the wrapped leaf tobacco from the pocket of his close-fitting clothes, knelt down, took one, and handed it to Riwobuji.Riwobuji took it, and squatted down side by side with Zhang Yaoye. Riwobuji didn't know how to smoke leaf cigarettes. He held the leaf cigarettes handed to him by Zhang Yaoye in his hand, watched how Zhang Yaoye wrapped the cigarettes, and then followed suit. Zhang Yaoye saw that Riwobuji wrapped his cigarette clumsily, so he handed him his wrapped cigarette, and took his to continue wrapping.After wrapping it up, I took out a match, struck a match, and lit it with a click.Riwobuji leaned forward with a cigarette in his mouth, and just took a puff at the burning match, when he was choked up and coughed loudly, tears streaming down his face for a while.

Zhang Yaoye said: "You can learn it after taking two more sips. When I learned to smoke this thing when I was a child, I was stupefied. This thing is powerful, and it is enjoyable to smoke. It also relieves cough and phlegm." Riwobuji actually wanted to relieve his nerves and relax his mind by smoking leaf tobacco, but this method is obviously not very effective, and the gain outweighs the gain. It is very uncomfortable to smoke for a while and cough for a while. .The smoky eyes were also stinging. Zhang Yaoye looked at Riwobuji with sympathy in his eyes.He felt that it was so difficult for Riwobuji to take a puff of leaf tobacco, which was very puzzling.

Riwobuji seemed to be competing with himself, the more Zhang Yaoye looked at him with this look, the more sparks he wanted to spit out, so he held the leaf cigarette in his mouth and smoked it fiercely , A puff of blue smoke spewed out from Riwobuji’s nostrils and mouth, curled up, and after a while, formed a thin layer of dense air among the tall treetops. "You're not smoking, you're just smoking. Without your method of smoking, it's a waste of money! I'm the willow smoke I planted myself, and the seeds I scoured from Xindu Jinjiang are precious!" Zhang Yao Grandpa said to Riwobuji dissatisfied.

Riwobuji ignored Master Zhang Yao, and just kept smacking the leaf tobacco in his mouth, and more than half of the leaf tobacco burned in his mouth quickly.Although he didn't cough very much, his eyes were full of tears, and the salivary glands on his cheeks were stimulated by the pungent smell of leaf smoke, so that his mouth watered.But Riwobuji didn't have the habit of spitting on the ground, so he had to swallow the stimulated saliva into his stomach one by one. Zhang Yaoye said to him: "You have to spit out your saliva. If you swallow it, you will get bored. Being suffocated by leaf smoke is more annoying than being drunk."

Riwobuji didn't listen to what Zhang Yaoye was talking about.He is in a panic right now. Suddenly, Riwobuji heard a very slight cough from among the branches above his head.This sound is very slight, and it is not easy to hear it without extremely sensitive hearing. A beam of cold light flashed in Riwobuji's narrowed eyes, which were originally squinted by the smoke from the leaves in his mouth, as if the blades of two knives flickered coldly in his eyes. Zhang Yaoye kept looking at Riwobuji, Riwobuji's eyes made Zhang Yaoye's heart chill, and he didn't understand what was going on.

But Riwobuji had stopped puffing on the leaf smoke, and squatted on the ground motionless, all the tactile sensations in his ears were concentrated in the branches above his head. Master Zhang came in without knowing, and asked, "What's the matter with you? Why are you standing there all of a sudden? Are you suffocated by Ye Zi's smoke?" But Riwobuji stared at Zhang Yaoye with cold and hard eyes.Master Zhang Yao seemed to have understood the meaning of Riwobuji's eyes, and kept silent.He felt that Riwobuji seemed to have noticed something strange, and a chilly air came out from the back of his neck involuntarily.

Master Zhang Yao couldn't help but turned his head and looked behind him. Behind him was the dense virgin forest, which seemed to be filled with a layer of mysterious mist. Master Zhang Yao turned around and took two puffs of Leaf Cigarette. Suddenly, Master Zhang Yao was also stunned, staring at Riwobuji without blinking.He also heard one or two very faint coughs in the branches above his head, and it was a woman's cough. "There is a beautiful snake on the tree?" This is the thought that flashed into Zhang Yaoye's mind. Riwobuji signaled Zhang Yaoye not to make a fuss with his eyes, and then vigorously tapped the leaf smoke on his mouth.

Zhang Yaoye was very scared, originally he wanted to look up at the tree to see if there was a beautiful snake hanging between the branches above his head.But Riwobuji suppressed Zhang Yaoye's thoughts with very sharp eyes.Master Zhang Yao fully understood Riwobuji's intentions, and quickly followed Riwobuji to smoke the leaves, but his calves trembled. Two thick and long leaf cigarettes twitched under the tree where they were squatting at the same time, and the pungent smell of leaf smoke instantly enveloped the whole tree. Sure enough, there was a violent coughing sound from among the branches and leaves of the big tree.

Riwobuji and Zhang Yaoye jumped up from the squatting ground almost at the same time, raised their heads, and stared fixedly at the thick branches and leaves on the upper part of the big tree.The eyes of the two people searched carefully among the dense branches. The beautiful snake Zhang Yaoye thought of in his heart did not appear among the branches, but it was quiet, only the smoke from the leaves curled and diffused among the branches and leaves. "There." Master Zhang Yao suddenly pointed at the densest branch and leaf on the tree. Riwobuji looked in the direction of Zhang Yaoye's finger, and there seemed to be a person hiding among the dark branches and leaves of the big tree.Or not sure a person, but more like an animal of considerable size.

monkey?Zhang Yaoye and Riwobuji came up with such an idea almost at the same time. But Zhang Yaoye and Riwobuji couldn't understand the character of the monkey very well.In such a situation, the monkeys at this time would not be quietly lurking among the branches. They may have already started to move and leap among the branches, displaying their special kung fu of flashing, moving and flying over the eaves and walls. A monkey would never hide in a tree so peacefully. However, at this time, the black shadow hiding among the dense branches was motionless.Its body was hidden by the thick branches of the big tree, and its exposed eyes stared at Riwobuji and Zhang Yaoye under the tree with extreme caution.

They didn't look like human's eyes, they had an evil and gloomy light shining in those eyes, but they looked like the eyes of a leopard or some other wild animal.However, what Zhang Yaoye and Riwobuji clearly heard was another girl-like cough. Could it be that there is still a person hidden in this big tree with thick branches and leaves? "Is it a human or a ghost?" Zhang Yaoye asked Riwobuji in a low voice. Riwobuji didn't answer Zhang Yaoye's words, but walked around the tree, looking for the best viewing angle. Although this big tree is not very tall, it grows with twisted branches and extremely dense branches and leaves. The lush crown almost covers more than 20 square meters of sky. And around this big tree, there is no other big tree comparable to it, and what grow next to it are some shrubs and low trees that do not form forests.This big tree looks a bit lonely and stands out from the crowd in this not-so-open land. Perhaps because of this, the human-like animal hiding among the branches was inadvertently trapped on it. Zhang Ziheng, who was looking for dry firewood not far away, found that something seemed to be wrong with Mr. Zhang Yao, so he walked over and followed Mr. Zhang's eyes to look at the tree.Because the branches and leaves of this big tree were too dense, Zhang Ziheng didn't notice anything for a while. "Yaoye, what diorama are you looking at?" Zhang Ziheng asked Zhang Yaoye inexplicably. Zhang Yaoye whispered to Zhang Ziheng in a mysterious voice: "There seems to be a person hiding in the tree, and it's a woman!" "Ah!" Zhang Ziheng's eyes widened instantly.
