Chapter 313

The days passed slowly like this. One day, one of the old men picked up a baby girl at the edge of the forest. The package on the baby was tattered, but it was considered clean, and a piece of dry cake was stuffed in his arms.

"Wow, whoa whoa—"

The child is too young, it looks like it is not yet full moon, at this time it can only cry with its mouth open, and its voice is also small, like a newborn cat.

Crying and crying, he can still smash his mouth, he looks extremely hungry, and looks even more aggrieved.

"Hey, which family's child did you bring back?"

When living here, the five old people have already numbered themselves according to age, and their previous names are no longer used.Since he is an abandoned person, there is no need to use his past name.

At this time, the third child who had been picked up sighed, the pipe in his hand was rattling, and his wrinkled face was full of sorrow.

"I'm also worried. I picked it up at the edge of the forest in the morning, and when I went a little later, it was taken away by wolves and eaten."

The third child has many wounds on his body, which are still covered with blood. He should have been injured when he was fighting with wolves.For such an old man, he was still alive after fighting with wolves, and he seemed to have won, which is really amazing.

The third child used to be a hunter, and most of them depended on the third child's teaching to survive here.Among them, the fifth child who had basic medical skills hurriedly dragged the third child to give medicine, while the others were frowning.

"So this is, thrown away by my parents?"

The third child nodded with a slumped face.

"It should be. I waited there for a whole day, but no one came to look for it. There is still a piece of dry cake in the child's arms, with a few tooth marks on it. It must have been left by the parents."

"Hey, what's this called?"

Several people are old and soft-hearted.This child was healthy and healthy, but was thrown away by his parents. Who can he justify?
But remembering that the world outside has become so chaotic that there is no way for the people to survive, I can only sigh secretly and stop thinking about it.

"Then this child?"

"Let's raise it. How many mouthfuls of food can a baby eat? If we have a mouthful of food, there will always be a mouthful for her. Let's keep it for a few days."

Everyone agrees, so this longevity village with only five people has one more member.There are only five dry old people who have a good life. With such a crying and laughing child, they have a feeling of living.

Probably because life was really difficult. In the following time, the villagers of Changshou Village picked up many abandoned babies one after another, some big and some small, and everyone in the village raised them together. Gradually, the village became lively. .

Originally, the five old people were worried that these children would die before raising them to adulthood, but unexpectedly, perhaps because of the name of this village, the five of them actually lived a long life.

Stumbling all the way to raising the oldest children to grow up, get married and have children, they are still alive.Everyone said that it was because of the sacred tree in the center of the village that allowed them to survive these years. Over time, this sacred tree became the place of belief in their village.No matter men, women or children, they will place offerings under the tree and pray to it.

In fact, these years, they have not seen the divine tree appear with their own eyes, but with this protective formation that can protect the village, everyone in Changshou Village is full of hope.Because they knew that this was due to the kindness of the sacred tree to them.

"So, you have never seen the divine tree appear?"

The second grandfather came back from the memories and shook his head.

"It is said that the elders of Changshou Village once saw a handsome young man covered in snow standing on a tree, but before they could say a few words, the young man disappeared."

It was a very ordinary morning, the eldest among the five elders was already very old, and his mind was not very clear.At this moment, he was sitting under the sacred tree in a daze, and who knew that he suddenly smelled a fragrant smell at the end of his nose, and when he looked up, he saw a handsome young man covered in white standing barefoot on the branch.

He was really a handsome young man. Although his hair, eyebrows, eyelashes and even his pupils were all snow white, it didn't make people feel weird.There is only a sense of sacred nobility.At this moment, the young man looked down at the old man, just like a god in the nine heavens looked down at his believers in the world casually.Without any emotion, it unexpectedly shocked believers.

The old man who ranked first was taken aback, but after all he had seen a lot of things, he quickly reacted and tried to talk to the young man who was like a god.

"Dare to ask, you are..."

At this time, the old man glanced at the branch where the young man was standing, and suddenly had a bold guess in his heart.

"Could it be, are you a divine tree?"

The young man didn't say anything, but gave him an extra look.

The old man knelt down directly, and then continued to speak hard.

"God tree, can you tell Xiaomin your name, Gao, so that Xiaomin can make a golden body for you..."

The sacred tree seemed to be annoyed by his nagging, and in the end it only uttered three words.

"Flesh and bones."

The voice was ethereal, as if it came down from the sky, and it always felt unreal.The old man quickly took the opportunity to continue to plead guilty.

"Before, I and other small people had to build a village around the sacred tree due to the pressure of livelihood. Please don't blame us for the sacred tree. We are willing to offer incense every day..."

"It's okay."

After leaving these two words, the young man covered in snow turned into spots of light and disappeared.When the old man got up and wanted to look for it, he found that he couldn't find it.

When I told the other old guys, they were shocked, but they all believed it.Because the old man is not in the mood to lie, and the divine tree has spirits, so it has to be said that it also gives them an extra spiritual sustenance.

Since then, the people of Changshou Village have carefully enshrined the sacred tree, and even tore the dyed cloth with complicated craftsmanship into strips and hung it on the branches of the sacred tree. Over the years, the sacred tree has gradually become like this .

"That's all I know about the Divine Tree."

"The sacred tree has a spirit, and it doesn't mind us mortals building a village around it, raising children, multiplying, and even protecting those of us who have nothing to do with it! The people in Changshou Village can only be grateful."

The second grandfather sighed, and glanced at it with nostalgia. From this angle, he could only see a sacred tree with a tip, as if he was looking at his lifelong faith.The red silk hanging on the tree swayed slightly with the breeze, like dazzling red hearts.That is the sincerity of the people of Changshou Village, who have been condensed with sincerity and enthusiasm for 300 years.

For a while, no one spoke.
