Chapter 648 The Female Supporting Character Who Gave Gold Finger to the Apocalypse 11

Next, according to what Xiao Yun said, the village chief Yang Minzheng asked those present to sign up voluntarily. Young men with strong fire power and yang energy were preferred, and older men who knew some carpentry would also be fine.

Liu Miao was the first to sign up. He had to try his best to perform well. If he did well, he would be accepted as Xiao Yun's disciple.

There are not many young people in the village. Most of them go to big cities to work, and only a small number work or do business in their hometown. Therefore, including Liu Miao, there are five people under 30 years old who are selected. The rest are mostly middle-aged people like Xiao's father, including Xiao's father and Niu Laoer.

That's fine. Originally, Xiao Yun was thinking of doing it himself if it really didn't work. Now everyone's active cooperation is a bit unexpected.

Seeing that almost everyone had arrived, Xiao Yun said to them, "Today, let's look around for naturally occurring rocks larger than ten centimeters, or any willow, peach, or cypress trees near or near our homes. Old trees are best, the older the better. Those in the green belts are useless. It would be best if we find some before noon tomorrow. We'll try to set up the formation this morning..."

Those present listened attentively, and some even recorded it with their mobile phones.

In fact, not everyone believes these things. Some people don’t take them seriously. It’s just that Chinese people have a herd mentality. Once everyone believes it, they will hypnotize themselves into believing it too.

Another thing is that Xiao Yunlu’s move just now was indeed quite impressive. Combined with the information previously released by the national TV station, it was equivalent to having the endorsement of the country, and everyone was quite convinced of the national TV station.

After Xiao Yun posted these tasks, everyone did not look for them immediately, but started discussing them to see if they had seen them somewhere before.

You know what, they really are. The wild cypress and willow trees here are relatively easy to find. They can be found on both sides of the old roads and beside the ponds. On the contrary, old peach trees are not so easy to find. Most of them are newly planted ornamental peach trees.

But just because it's hard to find doesn't mean it can't be found. An old lady said, "I do know of a place with this old peach tree, but it doesn't belong to our village. I wonder if that piece of land is privately leased. If I want to dig it up, I'll probably have to ask."

Someone immediately asked, "Grandma Zhang, where is the person you're talking about? If it belongs to someone else, we can talk to them and buy it."

The old lady, known as Grandma Zhang, pointed to the right and said, "Go west from our village and follow the main road for about three miles. There's a fork in the road over there. Go a little further north and it's right there. In the spring, there are lots of flowers blooming there, and you can see them from the main road.

It turns out that there was an orchard over there, but it's been there for a long time. It was there when I was a child. According to my mother, it used to be the garden of a big landlord, but it was later demolished. Because there were many fruit trees in it, it was turned into an orchard after it was publicized.

I don’t know if it’s a problem with the variety or if they don’t know how to take care of it, but the fruit trees there bloomed very densely but didn’t produce many fruits. Even if they did, the fruits were sour and astringent. Later, no one took care of the place anymore.

But the fruit trees there haven't been dug up. There are apples, peaches, apricots, pears, plums, and the like, and they still bloom every year. But the fruits are getting shriveled up every year, and the largest ones are no bigger than a child's fist."

At this time, someone remembered, and a woman said: "So it is there, then I know, this spring my daughter-in-law came back and took my granddaughter there to take pictures, the flowers there are so many colors, the photos are very beautiful.

At first I thought the government had built a small garden, but my wife said it was a wild forest, unattended, and anyone could go there… What was that? Oh, and check-in, you know? It means taking pictures.

She said it with a smug look on her face. She is very fashionable and knows all these foreign words.

But except for her little granddaughter who nodded enthusiastically, everyone else looked at Xiao Yun, waiting for her to speak.

Xiao Yun's spiritual sense probed over as the old lady finished speaking, and then he found that there was something wrong with the place she was talking about.

Those fruit trees are indeed quite old. Their trunks are not tall but very thick, especially the peach trees. The trunks are bumpy and the branches are crooked. Under the moonlight, they look like twisted ghost claws, which is very eerie and scary.

Xiao Yun could sense through his spiritual sense that there was a hidden evil aura pervading the area, and the abnormal growth of those fruit trees might be related to this.

She turned to the crowd and said, "That tree over there should be ownerless. I'll go see if that one is suitable. If it is, we can go dig it up tomorrow. We don't need many, just three will do. If not, we can look elsewhere. One of the three trees I mentioned will do, we don't have to collect all of them."

After hearing this, everyone nodded.

Only Xiao's father and mother looked at her with worry. Xiao's mother grabbed her arm and frowned, saying, "It's so late today, can't we go tomorrow morning? What can we see in the dark?"

Xiao Yun patted her hands and said, "The moon is so big. I have a strong flashlight. I'll just go over and take a look. If I can't see anything, I'll come back."

Xiao Ma didn't let go, but said: "Then I will go with you. I am worried about you, a little girl."

"Why don't we just go together? If it works, we can just dig up the tree and save ourselves the trouble of making two trips."

Niu Laoer, who was standing next to Xiao's father, spoke up. He also felt that it was not a big deal for a little girl to go, as there were so many people at the scene.

Others also echoed it. They saw Xiao Yun take out a wooden sword out of thin air. They really couldn't imagine how powerful she could be.

Seeing this, Xiao Yun agreed. He was originally afraid that there might be problems over there that would scare them, but on the other hand, it would be better to let them broaden their horizons first.

However, Xiao Ma was not brought along. Instead, a selected group of people went, totaling twenty people. They drove four cars and arrived at the destination very quickly.

After parking the car on the side of the road, Xiao Yun got out first and held his breath. Before he even got in, he could smell a pungent stench of decay.

"Why does it stink so bad? Is someone composting here?"

Everyone got off the bus and frowned at the smell.

"Put this on to cover it up a little."

Dad Xiao took down a box of masks from the car and gave two to each person. One of them was a little bit unable to block the smell.

Xiao Yun also wore a mask, turned on the high-intensity flashlight in his hand, and walked towards the orchard first, with the others following closely behind.

Walking into the orchard, the moonlight shines through the branches, making the ground mottled. The fruit trees look even more eerie under the interweaving of light and shadow.

"Ah-"

Suddenly, a black bird flew up from a tree, making an unpleasant cry, which scared the timid ones.

"It's nothing, it's just a crow."
