Chaoyang Village faced the Red Leaf River and leaned against the Sunset Mountain.
According to the saying passed down from the older generation, there was once a master of Feng Shui passing by, saying that this was a good place for Feng Shui that depended on the mountains and the waters.
And the eye of this blessed land was said to be at the old locust tree on the south side of the village.
Sure enough, Golden Phoenix flew out of the deep ditch. In the lonely old house beside the old locust tree, there was the only college student in the village of ten miles and eight villages, and he was also the top student in the city's college entrance examination!
This undoubtedly made the villagers who couldn't live without soil and water in their lives extremely envious. Of course, there were also many people who coveted this old house. Who didn't want to occupy a Feng Shui treasure land?
The evening sky was full of thick dark clouds, and it was about to rain.
"What are you all doing here?!" A dark and thin youth supported himself with a wooden rod, enduring the pain on his body, forcefully supporting his broken leg in front of the old manor's entrance, watching the incoming person with vigilance.
"Oh, you're seriously injured, Linshu! Don't be nervous. I heard that you were expelled from the university in the first place of the college entrance examination. As your cousin, I have to come and comfort you, right?"
A group of frivolous young men stood outside the door. The leading fat man with a sinister smile was called Lin Dazhi. He and Lin Shu were brothers of the same family.
"Thank you for your kindness. I don't need to comfort you. You can go."
Lin Shu was about to close the door and drive them out as he spoke. He had been in charge of the fickleness of human relationships over the years after his grandfather's departure, especially since his cousin's family didn't have a good impression of him. He knew that he was determined that the weasels had ill intentions towards him.
"Don't worry, you don't need to comfort me, do you?" Lin Dazhi stepped into the threshold, his fat body pressing down on the door, and he said with a smile, "Then pack up and get out of here. Don't take up our Lin Family's Feng Shui Paradise!"
Lin Shu looked at him coldly and said nothing. Lin Dazhi stared at him and said with a sneer, "I should have moved in when I was in school. Maybe I'm the champion of the college entrance examination. I wouldn't have been expelled so disappointingly like you, a good-for-nothing. Bah, it's really shameful!"
"I, I did it! This house was also left to me by my grandfather!" Lin Shu felt extremely wronged when he thought of being fired. He suppressed his pain and said.
"Leave it to you? Hahaha, Linshu, you really don't know how to count. You are the bastard picked up by my second grandfather! You let your surname Lin take over the fortune of our old Lin family and enter the university. Aren't you satisfied? I originally thought that you would be able to make our Lin family proud in the future, but now, you are nothing!"
Lin Shu held the wooden stick in his hand tightly, and his eyes were almost spitting fire. Because of the deposit after his grandfather left, he had been abused and bullied by Lin Dazhi's family over the years. After he got into college, his situation was getting better. Now, everything went back to the beginning...
Holding back the fog rising in his eyes, Lin Shu clenched the wooden stick that was supporting his body and gnashed his teeth, saying, "Lin Dazhi, don't go too far. The money left by grandpa is ambiguous. Do you still want me to be homeless now?"
Bang! Lin Dazhi suddenly kicked Lin Shu, who was caught off guard, and fell to the ground. He came over with a grim smile and kicked away the walking stick. He said coldly, "How dare you talk to me like this? Second Grandpa is our family. Why should he leave his money to you, a wild dog?"
Lin Shu, who had fallen to the ground, was in great pain and broke out in a cold sweat. He raised his head stubbornly and glared at his so-called cousin, feeling extremely angry.
"Why are you glaring at me? If you have the ability, get up and hit me!" Lin Dazhi lifted his foot with a grim smile and stepped directly on the broken leg of the tree!
He tried his best to look at the tree and its painful roar, which almost made him faint. He sneered and said, "For your second grandfather's sake, I'll give you a day to get out of the old house. Otherwise, don't blame me for being rude! By the way, don't call yourself Lin anymore. You're just a bastard. Don't disgrace us. Do you hear me?"
"I heard... your mother!" Linshu almost died of pain. He was wronged and fired, and then he was beaten violently. He originally wanted to go back to the small village where he grew up, to lick his wounds, but he didn't expect that he would suffer this!
He felt wronged, angry, and resentful. All his emotions were mixed into strength. He gritted his teeth and got up. For the first time, his thin body rushed to the fat and strong Lin Dazhi. Even if he had to risk his life, he would fight back against this bullying!
"Ah! You dare to bite me! Beat him! Beat him to death!" Lin Dazhi slapped the thin tree to the ground again, and then he began to punch and kick wildly with the gangsters in the town!
The gloomy sky finally began to rain, as if there were tears left by a pitiful tree in the sky. The thunder was faint, but why didn't there be a thunder to punish the evil people in the world?
The tree tree did not understand. He had completely lost the ability to resist. He curled up in pain and let the more intensive punches and kicks pour on his body. When he was numb from the pain, his head was extremely clear and he tightly held the black and white stone bead hanging around his neck.
This stone bead was his grandfather's favorite thing to play with when he was alive. It was also the only thing that might have something to do with his identity.
There was nothing left for him... The trees that had been beaten crazily looked numbly at the raindrops splashing on the ground. He painfully thought that this stone bead had become his only hope in the world.
The raindrops falling from the sky were getting more and more intense, but Lin Dazhi and the gang of gangsters showed no sign of stopping. They seemed to have made up their minds to beat the tree once and beat it to death. It didn't matter as long as he could get out of the old house.
His old wounds had become numb. He kicked fiercely again and again, and his internal organs seemed to be broken. The trees struggled to touch his face, not knowing whether it was rain or tears. He looked at the dark sky with difficulty and thought, "This world should not be like this, right? It shouldn't be like this!"
The rain was getting heavier and heavier, and his vision began to blur. The fat Lin Dazhi and his companions were also tired. Their fists and feet finally stopped, but the tree seemed to be motionless.
"Brother Dazhi, is this guy really beaten to death?" One of the gangsters next to him was a little worried when he stopped beating excitedly.
Lin Dazhi's eyes were a little flustered. Then he wiped the rain on his face and kicked the tree again. He said ferociously, "It's better to die. He is a wild dog that no one cares about. What's more, he came back with injuries. His death will only make us more convenient and we can't blame him! Let's go. He's really evil in the rain. We'll collect his corpse tomorrow!"
They took advantage of the heavy rain and left in a hurry. After a long time, the trees in the yard finally made a move. He struggled to save some strength and wiped the rain with blood on his face. He gritted his teeth and struggled to get up, then climbed out of the door little by little.
Grandpa said that it was this old locust tree that picked him up that year, so he named him a tree.
The tree tree felt that it was really going to die. It almost used all its strength to climb up to the old locust tree. It thought that since it was born from here, it would die from here...
However, he was unwilling to give up!
"Why? Why did my grandfather, who has been practicing medicine for a lifetime, go there in a hurry without a good end? Why did he have to be abandoned and bullied after my grandfather left?"
What right did Lin Dazhi, a scoundrel, have done such evil things to his shrew's mother? How could he be at ease and spend his grandfather's savings to take over the old house?
Why? The guy who bullied his female classmate was praised for being righteous, while he was the scapegoat for what he did, and he was even retaliated...
"Oh my god, is good and evil always a joke? If you have eyes, open your eyes and have a look at this world!"
The tree branch was about to split open. The hand that was holding the bead smashed wildly on the ground. With the last of his strength, he roared and questioned the pouring rain in the sky, unwilling to give up!
Crack~ The bead in his hand was quietly shattered. At the same time, the trees in the forest saw a beam of light suddenly flash across the gloomy sky, tearing apart the dark clouds pressing down on the entire village. Then, with a deafening roar, a bolt of lightning came straight at the old locust tree like the arrival of God's Punishment.
The weak forest tree was directly knocked out by the huge roar, while the thunder cloud was still gathering above the Chaoyang Village. Countless thunder snakes, like demons, poured down on the old locust tree crazily.
The strange thing was that the overwhelming lightning did not hurt the trees at all. It turned out that a strange black and white ball of light appeared in his bloody palm. The ball of light emitted dazzling light and enveloped him.
The strange phenomenon in the sky gradually stopped, and the dazzling light from the light ball gradually disappeared, and finally all of it gathered between the eyebrows of the tree!
As for the tree, he felt like he was dead, but he was finally alive.
