Chapter 1438 Divine Tree
The sensational case was finally solved.

Chunxi Town regained its tranquility once again.

Yu Shiqing was also leaving, and Pei Ce went to see her off.

"Sister, are you just leaving like this?"

"What else?" Yu Shiqing looked at Pei Ce. He was still a little boy before, but now he is taller and stronger than her. She always feels like he is overpowering her.

"Otherwise..." Pei Ce looked at her quietly. He and Yu Shiqing had not seen each other for many days, so they separated...

"You came here out of anger, who's to blame?" Yu Shiqing broke Pei Ce's sadness with one sentence.

"Ah..." Pei Ce said helplessly, "The capital is boring, and it's boring to stay here."

"Is this small county interesting?"

It's also boring, but Pei Ce doesn't want to admit it.

Yu Shiqing was amused, she smiled softly: "I'll wait for you in the capital."

After saying that, she got on the horse, and just as she was about to leave, Pei Ce asked, "Can I go to your house to propose marriage when I go back?"

Yu Shiqing got on the horse with a smile. Her face seemed calm, but in fact her ears were red.

Without saying a word, he rode away and walked far away. Pei Ce heard her say: "Okay."

Pei Ce jumped for joy.

Zhu Captou happened to see it, but he didn't expect that the always steady adult was really like this secretly.

"Is something wrong?" Pei Ce turned around and saw him, and returned to his usual serious look.

"Sir, some villagers just came to report that something strange happened in Xiaofu Village."

"Ah?" Pei Ce thought he heard wrongly: "What's weird?"

"What kind of tree man are you talking about? If ordinary people come, they will be treated as crazy and driven away, but the village chief and the clan chief are here. These two people should not lie."

Zhu Captou thought it was funny, but Pei Ce's face was solemn.

"Let's go take a look." In the yamen, a middle-aged man and an old man were waiting anxiously. They were both a little nervous when they saw Pei Ce.

"grown ups…"

"No need to be polite." Pei Ce asked someone to move stools for them, and the two of them sat down nervously.

"Tell me the situation carefully, both of you."

The middle-aged man introduced himself as the village chief of Xiaofu Village. This matter started half a year ago.

"Half a year ago, the shepherd boy discovered a tree on the mountain. The tree was not very tall, but it was a bit strange. No one cared about it at first, but the tree grew taller and taller."

The village chief gestured: "In just one month, it has grown more than ten meters. Sir, I have never seen such a tree."

So everyone in the village went up to see it, not knowing what it was, but the patriarch said it might be a sacred tree in the sky, so the villagers believed it and regarded it as a sacred tree. They worshiped it every day and sent people to watch it.

Unexpectedly, the tree is getting taller and taller.

"Finally it leads to the sky."

Zhu Captou was almost amused. He thought that the village chief and the villagers might have hallucinated after eating undercooked poisonous mushrooms.

Otherwise, how could there be a tree that reaches to the sky? Even if it was there, how come only the people in their village saw it and no one else could see it?

The village chief seemed to think that what he said was not credible, but it was true.

"Sir, the common people did not lie, it is true..."

Pei Ce: "I believe it, just keep talking."

Hearing that Pei Ce believed it, the village chief breathed a sigh of relief and continued: "Just three days ago, Xiao Zhuangzi, who was looking at the tree, noticed something was wrong. There was movement on the tree. He was very scared, so he hid and took a peek, and only saw the tree. Two people, a man and a woman, came down from the mountain. Only then did Xiao Zhuangzi dare to come out. When he informed us, the tree..."

The village chief couldn't hide his excitement: "The tree is gone."

"Gone?" Zhu Captou couldn't help laughing.
