Ling Village is said to be a village, but it is actually a small market town, where the township government is located.

Qi Hao came under the big tree, the trunk of the tree pierced into the sky, the branches covered the sky, the tree covered the sky and the sun, and the shade under the tree was cool and windy. emotion.

Qi Hao looked at the tree trunk, and was really surprised. The tree trunk is so big that it is unbelievable. Two-thirds of the trunk is in the dam, and the other third is leaning against the five-meter-high mountain wall. The trunk is pointing to the sky. , Shocking the human race.

The trunk is surrounded by iron fences to prevent people from getting close to the trunk. How big is the trunk? Let’s put it this way, the trunk is just the exposed part of the tree. According to Qihao’s visual inspection, without fifteen people like him, I’m afraid they can’t get around hand in hand. !

Such a huge tree, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is the largest in the world, in the ancient kingdom of five thousand civilizations, unexpected miracles happened around it.

This is a yellow jute tree, also known as a guide tree, which used to be planted at the entrance of market towns and along roads, mostly as a rest and guide for people on the go.

Standing under the big tree, taking advantage of the cool breeze, enjoying the shade and comfort, looking up at the big tree, Qihao absolutely believes that this is the largest tree in the world, and it can enter the Guinness Book of World Records.Qi Hao also absolutely believed that this big tree was not a tree, and had become an elf after years of age.Unfortunately, the highway will pass where it stands, and even the elves will kill it.

Qi Hao asked Yuan Yang to take out the camera to take pictures, told him to take pictures carefully, from all angles, and tried to capture the whole picture of the big tree.

There are villagers under the big tree, and there are also bustling tourists. The tourists take pictures under the big tree, but Yuan Yang only takes pictures of the big tree, which immediately attracts people's attention.

An old man came over and looked at the three of Qihao and the others warily. The three of them were neither local nor tourists. He said, "Comrade, you really care about Dashu!"

Shu Xiaohai was about to speak.Qi Hao was the first to say: "The expressway will pass here, we are part of the engineering team, come and have a look, it is not so easy to cut down such a big tree!"

The man looked at the panicked faces of Qi Hao and the three of them, turned around suddenly and hurriedly ran to the place where he drank tea, picked up a gong from the ground and ran into the village.While running, he knocked on the gong and shouted loudly: "The engineering team is here to cut down the tree god! The engineering team is here to cut down the tree god!"

It turned out that this man seemed to be drinking tea under the big tree, but in fact he was standing guard for the big tree. His gongs and sounds made the earth tremble, and Ling Village seemed to be blown up. Thousands of men, women and children rushed out.

The shouts of thousands of people are like thunder rolling, and the wind blown up by thousands of people running is stronger than eight degrees.The yellow dust rolled up by thousands of people running makes people unable to open their eyes. Thousands of people hold weapons and discharge into the sea. The dust is flying under the big tree for a while, and the sky is dark. Qihao, Yuan Yang, and Fan are about to rain The feet are trampled into fleshy mud.

Thousands of people rushed towards Qihao, Shu Xiaohai, and Fan Dayu, their momentum was like a dam and its embankments were unstoppable, Shu Xiaohai and Fan Dayu were shocked, dozens of hundreds of people might be able to fight against each other.Thousands of people pressed over to block the cap, and the two shouted: "Brother, go!"

Qi Hao took a step forward and stood tall, Shu Xiaohai went to pull Qi Hao, Qi Hao was nailed there like a nail, seeing Qi Hao not moving, Shu Xiaohai rushed in front of Qi Hao to protect Qi Hao, when the heavy rain saw Qi Hao go all out up.Rushed to the front to make a desperate fight.

Shouting and rushing people armed with sticks, hoes, knives and other weapons, the menacing scene was scary, but they did not rush towards Qihao and the others, but rushed directly under the big tree and surrounded the trunks in a circle to protect them. Surrounded by shouts, insults, and waving weapons, they demonstrated to Qi Hao.

You can tell at a glance.Their behavior does not pose a threat to anyone, just to protect the tree, and no one is allowed to cut down the tree god.

There were so many people and such a big commotion and noise for a long time, it turned out that there was no intention to use force at all.Even Qi Hao could feel that the crowd's tossing around for a long time turned out to be a bluff, it's no wonder that the people don't fight with the officials, and every villager is not afraid of trouble.

After the villagers protected the big tree, they realized that there were only three people on the other side, and it didn't seem like they were going to cut down the tree god. Their anger gradually subsided.

Thousands of people stared at the three with hostility. Seeing that the three did not speak, they were very calm and were not frightened by their battle. Thousands of people came out and a few old people looked at Qihao and the three suspiciously. One of them asked: "Who are you?" What are you doing?"

Qi Hao asked with a puzzled expression: "Old man, what play are you playing?"

Hey, for a long time, these three people are tourists. They are so motivating and mobilizing the crowd that thousands of people are embarrassed. One old man said: "We thought you were here to cut down trees!"

"Tree God?" Qi Hao pretended to be puzzled and asked, "Where is the Tree God?"

An old man said dissatisfied: "I don't think you have eyes. Have you ever seen such a big tree?"

Qi Hao took a serious look at the tree and said, "It's true that I haven't seen it before!"

An old man said: "It's not easy, it grows so big, it's not a tree god!"

Qi Hao laughed and said, "You're a tree god when you grow up so big, no way!"

Seeing the old man chatting with the three of them, it has been confirmed that he is not the tree god. What is the point of thousands of people surrounding the tree god?In broad daylight, my family still has endless work to do, so I don't have time to set up a dragon formation under the big tree.

There are only many children and more than ten old people left under the big tree.

An old man said excitedly: "You are a foreigner, you only see that it is a big tree, and we are locals, so we know whether it is a tree god!"

"It seems that this big tree really has a story!" Qi Hao sat down with great interest, and asked the tea seller under the big tree to make tea. Of course, each old man made a bowl of tea, and he wanted to listen to the old man tell the story of the tree god. mean.

After the tea was brewed, the old man saw that the young man in front of him was modest, so he asked, "Do you know the story of Sun Bin and Pang Juan?"

Qi Hao thought about his expression, and asked, "Is it Sun Bin and Pang Juan from the Spring and Autumn and Warring States Period?"

The old man nodded and said: "Back then, Sun Bin retreated from north to south with the strategy of reducing stoves. Relying on his large number of troops, Pang Juan chased north to south all the way. Every time he chased a place, Pang Juan went to count stoves. Every time it was decreasing, it was judged that Sun Bin's army was defeated, so he left the luggage and the army, and only led light cavalry to chase Sun Bin. When he chased before the tree god, Pang Juan was attacked by Sun Bin. Sun Bin shot an arrow through Pang Juan's chest, and the arrow shot into the tree god! Look, the hole above the tree god was left when Sun Bin shot and killed Pang Juan!"

Qi Hao looked in the direction of the old man's finger, and there was indeed a bowl-sized hole in the tree trunk two meters high. He said, "Oh!"

The Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period are 3000 years from now, and this tree god is [-] years old. It is really amazingly long-lived. Besides, the location of the battle between Sun Bin and Pang Juan Maling has yet to be verified, but believe it or not, people in Ling Village believe it.

The old man said, "Do you know that the camp was burned for seven hundred miles?"

Qi Hao said, "Have you heard of it?"

The old man said: "Liu Bei's attack on Wu happened at the time of Shutian, and the weather was hot. Liu Bei ordered the army to camp in the canyon, surrounded by mountains and rivers. The soldiers were happy when they arrived. Unexpectedly, Lu Xun set fire to Liu Bei's [-]-mile company camp!"

The camp was burned for seven hundred miles, and even the location was wrong. Whoever burned it, but if the old man wanted to say this, no one could do anything about it.

"Oh!" Qi Hao said, "It can only be said that big trees live the same life, witnessing history, what does it matter to God?"

The old man pointed to a broken branch in the north and asked Qihao: "There was a broken branch there, did you see it?"

Qi Hao looked through the dense branches, the traces of the broken branches were clearly visible, Qi Hao said: "I see it!"

"On the fifth day of July in the fifth year of Kangxi," the old man seemed to have experienced it himself, "People saw the tree god trembling in the morning, and there was a lot of discussion about it for some reason; at noon, the tree god trembled again, and everyone was still talking about it; at night, the tree god trembled. It kept going, but people were still puzzled. Just when people left the big tree and wanted to go home to rest, the tree god suddenly let out a loud roar, and a branch snapped and fell to the ground! People were shocked, and someone asked, "The tree god, Is the human race going to be in danger! The tree god didn't answer, everyone knows, the tree god doesn't have a mouth, how can he speak, the tree god must have used the broken arm to warn people and tell them to hide. People escaped out of the village that night, in the middle of the night, The river in the canyon burst into bamboo holes and washed away the entire village, and the whole village was safe and sound, and escaped a catastrophe!"

Qi Hao said: "No wonder he is called the tree god and protects the lives of the villagers!"

The old man said: "You don't believe it if you talk about it far away, but if you talk about the recent thing, people who starved to death that year know?"

The fertile fields of Huaxia Kingdom are boundless, but there have been starvation and death everywhere. That tragic scene now sounds like a soul-crushing scene. Qi Hao heard from his father and mother, and Qi Hao nodded to the old man to show that he knew about it.

"My life, the life of a villager was given by the tree god." The old man burst into tears, "That year there was no food to eat, and the whole village suffered from swelling and disease, and it seemed to be dying. It was the tree god who bore many finger-sized fruits. , Some people used it to satisfy their hunger, but their bodies did not become swollen, so the whole village ate the fruit produced by the tree god as food, and thus escaped starvation!"

Qi Hao sighed, "Who would harm such a big tree!"

"Man, I really don't understand what's going on!" The old man shook his head and said, "In that year, there was a lot of iron and steel smelting, and Fu County cut down trees and burned charcoal to make iron. The county magistrate at that time was called the tree-cutting god. , the county magistrate said, why can’t the tree gods be cut down? The people want to stride into the Communist Party, surpass the British and catch up with the United States. After not cutting a few axes, a thunderbolt exploded in the sky, killing two people! The county magistrate became ruthless after hearing this, thinking that the tree god would not be able to move, and then sent someone to cut down the tree. The hospital checked, the liver cancer was advanced, and within a few days, the person died, and no one will order the tree-cutting god again!"

Qi Hao said with a smile: "It really happened, it's a coincidence that people can't believe it!"

"What!" The old man stared at Qi Hao with an angry expression.
