Chapter 49 Laiyou Village

Laiyou couldn't remember how many years she had gone through, and her memory of time was extremely confused until after that incident.

It was another round of warm sun, which she later learned humans call spring.

Yes, she loves spring very much, especially the sun and rain in this season.

Just as she stretched her body in the warm sun and breathed as she always did, a few little humans came to her side again and snuggled up on her.

With a contented sigh, Laiyou swayed even more cheerfully against the warm wind.

"Sir, look!"

A young child looked up at the petals falling in the wind, and happily called out to the teacher who was teaching.

Xiucai shook his head, helplessly watching the children jumping up and down to catch the falling flowers, but when he raised his head, he was also fascinated by the flowers flying down among the green leaves.

This is something that fascinates Laiyou more than the warm sun and spring rain. She can't explain this feeling.

Laiyou, who was enjoying this wonderful feeling, swayed her branches.

The wind is different, the heat and moisture in the air are all wrong, wrong, wrong.

Laiyou wanted to stop swinging, but the stronger and stronger wind controlled her body.

Green leaves and white flowers rustled down.

"Hahaha……"

"Yeah! A lot of..."

"so beautiful!"

Normally, when she heard these compliments, Laiyou would dance in the wind to respond.

But now the branches are already sour, and the air is dull, suffocating her.

"Boom!"

A thunderstorm came down on a sunny day, and the children shivered with fright.

Clouds rolled over the sky.

The gentleman touched the raindrops that fell on his forehead, and was about to greet the children to rush back, but the raindrops suddenly formed a line.

"Wow", the heavy rain poured down like a hole in the sky.

Green leaves and white flowers fell on the ground and spread a thin layer, which was then covered with mud from the rain.

Laiyou shivered and struggled, she hated the rain falling from the gap down her body and onto the children.

Laiyou wanted to shelter the cute children in her arms from the wind and rain, but her leaves kept falling and her body kept shaking.

"Crack Crack, Crack Crack"

"Whoa, I'm going home, whoa whoa-"

"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid! The rain will stop in a while"

"..."

The sound of thunder, the crackling of the torrential rain on the leaves, the cries of the children, the soothing voices of the gentlemen, all mixed and mingled.

Don't cry, don't cry.

do not Cry.

Laiyou comforted her gently.

But the children couldn't hear her, and the cries grew louder.

The sudden thunder and torrential rain made the sky feel like the sky was falling for these young and unseen children.

Even the omnipotent Mr. could not protect them at this time.

Just as the young children were crying hoarsely, a bright light cut through the night-like sky and stabbed people to the point of being unable to open their eyes.

Danger!

Laiyou's body trembled, her sense of danger made her want to crawl into the ground, but a branch of the trunk involuntarily responded to the light frantically against the wind.

Can't let them get hit.

This thought made her temporarily let go of her fear of danger.

"Boom—"

A thunderstorm followed.

Is this a painful feeling?
Laiyou trembled, the pain of the broken branch and the burn of the wound made her almost mad.

Laiyou, Laiyou...

"I'm Laiyou!"

As if taking an oath to the sky, or just proving her existence, Laiyou kept shouting.

Lei Shuyu took a break, and the husband led the children home. Before leaving, his eyes fell on the charred trunk, and he turned around and bowed to the ancient tree.

The next year, the husband's house moved to the old tree. A few years later, there were more and more residents next to the old tree, and it was named Laiyou Village.

Laiyou slept and woke up again after an unknown number of years.

She found that she had changed homes, no, someone should have moved their home to hers.

Time is a magical thing, her wound has regrown a branch that is not strong, but very alive.

Her trunk was divided into dozens of branches while she was sleeping, and the leaves became more and more lush.

And the root system buried deep in the ground also grows to an amazing degree.

It used to be that she could only absorb nutrients that were dozens of meters below the ground, but now, the entire village is within her root system.

Lai You Le tirelessly felt the heat radiated by the villagers with her roots, and felt the breathing of the little people in her arms.

With the observation day after day, Laiyou understands more and more.

She learned that human beings are divided into males and females, old and young, and not all human beings are the same.

She knew the hardships of human production, and the grains they eat need good weather to harvest.

She knew the shortness of human lifespan, less than a fraction of her own.

She also knew a lot.

Laiyou was very happy. If her endless life before was like a blank sheet of paper, then these human beings who settled in her arms undoubtedly injected new colors into her.

Time goes by like this day by day, as if it will never stop.

This summer is obviously hotter than usual.

The people of Laiyou Village have not gone out for a long time.

Except for a few good hunters, the other villagers have long run out of food.

It hasn't rained for half a year, the wells have long since dried up, the crops have died, and the vegetation has turned yellow.

A month later, the hunters were too weak to go out.

Cordyceps roots and leaves, those who can bite will bite, those who cannot bite will be swallowed by the sick and the sick, and more and more villagers will die of starvation and thirst.

The village chief stooped and came under the Laiyou tree.

The Laiyou tree in front of me has long since recovered its lushness, and the leaves on the low branches have long been cleaned by people.

The trunk is full of scratches.

The tired Laiyou looked at the village chief in front of him, but did not complain.

This is also the child she watched growing up. Using their human algorithm, five or sixty years old is very old, right?
Decades are too short for Laiyou, and she is not very sensitive to human time.

Looking at the scrawny, trembling old man, Laiyou sighed in his heart, he must be dying too.

Just when Laiyou was a little distracted, the old village chief suddenly knelt down.

"God tree, please forgive the offense of the villagers, they really have no way to hurt you."

The old village chief thought about the legends passed down from his ancestors for several generations, and slammed his head on the ground a few times: "Please show your magical powers and save your people!"

Laiyou was stunned, she couldn't bear it, but there was nothing she could do.

Naturally, the old village chief couldn't hear Laiyou's heart, and in his heart, the Laiyou tree was the last straw.

This kneeling is a few hours.

The village chief's son found that the old man was missing, and when he found the village entrance, he saw the old man kneeling with his hands on the ground under the Laiyou tree.

The hard persuasion was fruitless, the young man slumped to the ground in despair, and God no longer gave him a way to live.

"My ancestors in Laiyou Village have respected you for hundreds of years. If you are really a divine tree, why would you watch everyone die like this!"

After the man roared this sentence in a collapse, he knelt down straight, and since he was going to die, let's die together.

Gradually, the people under the tree changed from two to three, four, five...

Looking at the desperate human beings in front of her, Laiyou closed her eyes.
