"Qi Wang, what's going on? What happened to my mother?"
Qi Minhe walked over quickly and hugged his mother in his arms. He first checked Aunt Zhang's physical condition and confirmed that she just fainted now and there was nothing serious, so he breathed a sigh of relief.
However, thinking of the pink smoke coming out of her body just now, Qi Minhe couldn't calm down no matter what.
That scene looked too scary, how can a good person give off pink smoke? Could it be that Qi Huang did something
Qi Minhe put his suspicious eyes on Qi Huang, with a look of surprise and uncertainty on his face.
Qi Wang didn't even look at Qi Minhe, and said without raising his head: "I didn't do it, maybe it's because of these peach blossoms."
"Peach blossom?"
Hearing this, Qi Minhe subconsciously looked towards the peach blossom tree outside the yard.
There are two peach blossom trees outside their house, which were planted by his father for him when he was born. The peach trees ward off evil spirits. Because of his weak health, he often cried for no reason when he was a child, and he would fall ill every now and then. On the spot, the father heard what others said, saying that planting peach trees at the door can suppress demons and eliminate evil spirits, so that the children in the family will not be invaded by evil spirits.
In fact, after the Dark Era, the new humans no longer believe in those feudal superstitions, but when all methods are useless, many people will believe in these things that have long been abandoned.
Qi Minhe's father believed it, and he planted two peach blossom trees in front of his house with his own hands. It is strange to say that Qi Minhe was originally weak and everyone thought he would not survive, but he did not expect that after the peach blossom trees were planted, his body would be damaged. Slowly recovering, and later when he was testing his talent, he found that he actually had an A-level talent. This kind of talent might not be anything compared to those in big cities, but it was pretty good in their small village.
After other families discovered this, they also began to follow suit, planting peach blossom trees in front of and behind their houses.
Originally, there were quite a lot of peach blossom trees in Taohua Village, but they were not all planted in front of and behind the houses as they are now. It is only in recent years that Taohua Village has become what it is today.
Some time ago, when the animals and plants had a second mutation, the people in the village were still worried for a while, but later found that the peach blossom tree just became taller and bigger and liked to bloom more, but it didn’t look like it was reported in various news. It was hurting like that, and their hearts were slowly relieved.
People in the village say that these peach blossom trees are spiritual, knowing that this is the place where they grow, and knowing that the people here have no ill intentions towards them, so they never hurt anyone.
But now, according to Qi Wang, these peach blossom trees are not as harmless as they appear on the surface, and the pink smoke in his mother's body is caused by the peach blossom trees.
"What the hell is going on here?"
Qi Minhe didn't know what happened. He grew so big that the farthest place he could go was the county town. At this moment, he was completely bewildered and didn't know what to do.
At this time, Qi Juan had already checked Aunt Zhang carefully, and after confirming that there was nothing serious about her body, Qi Juan heaved a sigh of relief, looked up, and saw that Qi Minhe's face had become pale and pale. His face was also full of panic, so he comforted him and said, "Don't worry, Auntie is fine, it's just that she fainted because of too much energy loss, you send her to the room first, and she will rest for a while." It'll be fine."
After receiving Qi Wang's words, Qi Minhe breathed a sigh of relief, he carefully picked up Aunt Zhang and sent him to the room.
Looking at the pale Aunt Zhang, Qi Minhe felt very distressed. His mother was just an ordinary person, and her life span was only 120 years old. Now she is over 50 years old, and almost half of her life has passed. She can be too mediocre, who would have thought that such a thing would happen.
Qi Minhe shook Aunt Zhang's hand, wiped away his tears secretly, then collected his thoughts, turned and left the room.
Qi Wang was standing under the courtyard wall at this time, he looked up at the peach blossom trees in full bloom outside the window, his face was indifferent, it was impossible to see what he was thinking.
Qi Minhe walked over and stood with Qi Wang looking at the peach blossom tree.
"Qi Wang, do you mean that my mother's appearance is caused by this peach blossom tree?"
Qi Wang nodded: "To be precise, it's not just these two peach blossom trees."
Qi Minhe was taken aback for a moment, not quite understanding what Qi Wang meant.
What do you mean more than these two peach blossom trees
Qi Wang said: "After the second mutation occurred, these peach blossom trees also underwent mutations. Originally, they were independent individuals, but now it seems that after the mutation, the roots of these peach blossom trees are all knotted together. Together, they have become one."
Qi Minhe couldn't understand Qi Wang's words, he was stunned for a while, and couldn't realize what Qi Wang said for a long time.
"You mean, there are many peach trees in Peach Blossom Village, but they are all the same one?"
Qi Huan nodded and said, "That's true. The bigger the mutated plant, the more dangerous it is. Moreover, plants and humans are actually the same. How do humans deal with the existence that threatens their living space?"
Hearing this, Qi Minhe's face suddenly changed: "You mean that Peach Blossom Tree wants to give us..."
He didn't say the next words, but as soon as he thought of that possibility, Qi Minhe's heart began to tighten.
He suddenly remembered that when he posted on the Internet before, asking everyone to continue traveling here, netizens said that it was very dangerous here, and many people even reminded him that the more beautiful things are, the more dangerous they are. They take precautions.
At that time, Qi Minhe said he didn't care, but he also felt that what the netizens said made sense, but when he turned around to persuade Aunt Zhang to leave with him, he heard a lot of things from Aunt Zhang saying that everything has animism, and that the peach blossom tree is He has lived here for a long time, and if he would not do anything to them, he gradually relaxed, subconsciously feeling that these peach blossom trees would not cause them any harm.
But now Qi Wang told him that these peach blossom trees were very dangerous. Before they realized it, the peach blossom trees had already started to attack quietly. The pink mist in Aunt Zhang's body was the best proof.
After thinking of this, Qi Minhe suddenly remembered something, he suddenly turned his head to look at Qi Huang, and said in a trembling voice: "Since this is the case, does it mean that everyone in the village has been tricked? What about me? I Did you get tricked too?"
Thinking that his body might also be invaded by those pink mist, Qi Minhe felt uncomfortable all over.
Qi Huan signaled Qi Minhe not to worry, telling him that he was not invaded by the fog.
"You are a psychic, and you are a very aggressive psychic. If a foreign object invades your body, can you not feel it?"
After hearing this, Qi Minhe breathed a sigh of relief, but after thinking about it, his heart picked up again.
"Then you mean those ordinary people in the village..."
There are not many spiritual power users in their village, and most of them are ordinary people like Aunt Zhang. If they are invaded by these pink mist, they will suffer.
"so what to do now?"
Qi Minhe was a little confused, he was too young, he had never experienced such a thing before, so how could he know what to do
His home port looked at Qi Wang subconsciously, thinking that this man younger than himself would definitely have a solution.
Sure enough, Qi Wang lived up to Qi Minhe's hope, and he told the other party to ask him to call the village chief first.
"This matter can't be resolved with the strength of the two of us. According to what you said, the village head should also be a person with spiritual power. You call the village head over, and I will tell him about this matter, and then we can think of a solution together. .”
After hearing Qi Wang's words, Qi Minhe turned around and wanted to find the village chief, but after running two steps away, he remembered something, turned his head and looked at Qi Wang, and Qi Wang probably knew what he was thinking, so he said : "Don't worry, Aunt Zhang is here with me watching, nothing will go wrong."
After hearing Qi Wang's words, Qi Minhe felt relieved, turned around and ran out.
Qi Wang withdrew his gaze, and continued to look at the peach blossom tree outside the wall, but two minutes later, he saw Qi Minhe who had just run out turned back.
"Well, I just contacted the village chief with my mobile phone, and he will come right away."
Qi Huan: "..."
After entering this world, he was busy repairing his body, and in order to avoid the pursuit of the Qi family, Qi Wang deliberately shuttled in the deep mountains and old forests. He has been a savage for a long time, but he has forgotten that there is a better way to communicate in modern society. up.
"What did the village chief say?"
Qi Wang asked nonchalantly, and Qi Minhe replied: "The village chief said he would come over soon."
Qi Wang nodded and said nothing more.
But Qi Minhe felt that he couldn't see anything outside, so he turned and went back to his room to guard Aunt Zhang.
After about ten minutes, Li Deqiu, the head of Taohua Village, walked quickly into the gate of Zhang's house.
"Minhe, you called me over in such a hurry, what happened?"
Li Deqiu said loudly as soon as he entered the door. He thought that the person standing under the wall was Qi Minhe, but when he took a closer look, he found that the person was not someone he knew. He was stunned for a moment, and quickly realized.
"Are you the one Yingyue rescued?"
Qi Wang nodded and said, "Village Chief, I asked Qi Minhe to call you over. I have something to tell you."
Hearing this, Li Deqiu unconsciously walked over, stood still in front of Qi Wang, and asked, "What do you want to say?"
Qi Wang repeated what he had said to Qi Minhe before, but Li Deqiu felt incredible when he heard what Qi Wang said.
"Maybe what you said is true? If the peach blossom trees really became aggressive after the mutation, then they were at their most aggressive when they just mutated. At that time, they didn't launch any attacks. How can they be now?" Are you launching an attack?"
Like most people in the village, Li Deqiu thinks that these peach blossom trees are spiritual, not to mention that the news has said that although the plants will be very aggressive after the second mutation, not all plants are In this way, some plants are relatively gentle and have lived with humans for a long time, so they will not attack humans.
If the plants did not attack humans in the first two months, then there is a high probability that they will not attack humans in the future.
Qi Huang shook his head and said: "It's not absolute, village chief, the second mutation of plants is the latest thing, how do you know they won't attack people?"
"Don't underestimate these plants. I suspect that after the second mutation, their IQs have also changed. Some plants are smart, and some are stupid. Stupid plants will directly attack humans, while smart plants may know how to use Conspiracy means, how do you know that everything they did before was not a disguise?"
What Qi Wang said is a theory that Li Deqiu has never heard before. It is relatively high. In most people's cognition, plants are not intelligent, and except for a few aggressive plants, most of them are The plants are very Buddhist.
"How is this possible?"
Qi Wang asked: "How is it impossible? Human beings more than 300 years ago probably would not have imagined that human beings today can possess spiritual power. Since human beings can evolve, so can animals and plants."
Li Deqiu fell into silence, and then he followed Qi Huang into the room, and when he saw Aunt Zhang lying pale on the bed, his expression became more solemn.
"Then what should we do now? Do you have a way to save other people?"
Qi Huang nodded and said: "Of course there are, but the most urgent thing is to gather all the other villagers together. I have to see how many people are infected."
Li Deqiu is also a decisive person. After he listened to Qi Wang's words, he immediately took action.
After a while, the whole village was gathered in the small square in the village.
In order to avoid causing panic, Li Deqiu did not say that the peach blossom tree would invade the human body, but only said that he would help everyone check their bodies and ask them to cooperate.
The villagers trusted Li Deqiu very much, but they didn't suspect anything.
