Chapter 13 Seeking Help from Willow God
"Yes."

Shi Yunfeng nodded gently, his eyes passing over Shi Ziling and Qin Yining, his expression filled with a complex feeling and emotion: "They claim to be from the Wuwang Mansion of the Shi Kingdom in the outside world. Based on the records in the ancient books of the clan and some clues, they believe that our Shi Village may be the ancestral land they have been looking for."

"This time I came back, in addition to confirming the identity of my ancestral land, the more important reason is..."

Having said this, Shi Yunfeng paused slightly, then looked at the child sleeping peacefully in Qin Yining's arms and said, "To find a cure for this child."

"A cure?"

Hearing this, Shi An was slightly surprised, then looked up at Shi Ziling and said, "Uncle, may I ask what happened to this child?"

"Hao'er he..."

Seeing Shi An asking about Shi Hao, Shi Ziling's expression suddenly darkened, and then he told everyone present about Shi Hao's experience.

"What? How could there be such a cruel aunt in this world?"

After listening to Shi Ziling's story, everyone present and those watching outside were filled with indignation.

"This is unbelievable. How could such a cruel thing happen? How dare she do it?"

"Such a vicious woman, how can she be a mother! How can she live in this world!"

·······
In an instant, curses and condemnations came one after another, and the entire Shicun Council seemed to be submerged in a torrent of anger.

Even Shi An, who already knew everything, frowned at this moment, with uncontrollable anger flashing in his eyes.

Seeing this, Shi Ziling felt even more grief-stricken. Thinking of his sister-in-law, Shi Ziling felt that he should not have let her go at the beginning, but the situation at that time was completely beyond his control.

Thinking of the scene at that time, Shi Ziling couldn't help but take a deep breath, forced himself to calm down, turned to look at Shi Yunfeng and said: "Old Patriarch, our trip is not only to confirm the ancestral land, but also to hope to use the power of the ancestral land to find a way to save Hao'er."

"I've heard that our ancestral land has a mysterious power left over from ancient times, which may be able to save Hao'er's life."

"this········"

However, to Shi Ziling's disappointment, after hearing his words, Shi Yunfeng, Shi Linhu and others looked at each other with helpless and apologetic expressions on their faces.

"Old Patriarch, if you can..."

Seeing this, Shi Ziling thought that it would cost a huge price to use that kind of power, and he immediately prepared to make a promise.

"You may have misunderstood."

But before he could finish his words, Shi Yunfeng said with a frustrated look on his face: "It's not that we don't want to save this little guy, but..."

When Shi Yunfeng said this, Shi Linhu continued, "But after so many years, the village's inheritance has long been cut off. The strongest inheritance in the village today is just a few pieces of ancient treasure bones."

“How could it be…”

Seeing that the two did not seem to be lying, Shi Ziling and Qin Yining's faces suddenly changed and they unconsciously took several steps back.

They thought they could save Hao'er by finding the ancestral land, but who knew this would be the result. If this is the case, what should their Hao'er do?

"Hao'er..."

Thinking of this, Shi Ziling and Qin Yining looked at Shi Hao in their arms, their eyes filled with reluctance and despair. Their Hao was still so young, and before he could truly begin his journey in this world, he had already suffered so much.

For a moment, Qin Yining's eyes were red, and she hugged Shi Hao tightly, as if she wanted to use all her strength to protect him and not let any harm get close to him.

"Is there really no other way?"

Seeing this, Shi Ziling on the side was also extremely sad and asked Shi Yunfeng and others again. There was a tremor in his voice, which was the helplessness and struggle of a father facing the life and death of his child.

But Shi Yunfeng had no way to deal with this. The inheritance of their Shi Village had been cut off long ago. Even if it had not been cut off, Shi Yunfeng was not sure that there was a way to cure Shi Hao, because his injuries were really... too severe!
"Hey~"

Thinking of this, Shi Yunfeng, Shi Linhu and others couldn't help but sigh, expressing their condolences and regret for Shi Hao's experience.

Seeing this scene, Shi Ziling was completely desperate. Is it true that their Hao'er is beyond saving?

However, at this moment, a slightly childish voice suddenly sounded: "Grandpa, clan leader, Dad, maybe we can ask Willow God, maybe she has a solution."

Hearing this, Shi Ziling felt like he had grabbed a life-saving straw and hurriedly turned around to look over: "I wonder which elder of the tribe is Liu Shen? Where is he now?"

As he spoke, Shi Ziling directly grasped the shoulders of the person who was speaking.

Feeling the huge force coming from his shoulders, Shi An didn't feel too uncomfortable, he just couldn't move.

Of course, this only applies to Shi An. If it were anyone else in Shi Village, even Shi Yunfeng, the force on his shoulders would probably be enough to break his arms!
While thinking, Shi An looked at Shi Ziling, whose eyes were red, and said, "The Willow God is not the elder of the village. She is the sacrificial spirit of our Shi Village. You should have seen her. She is the huge lightning-struck tree in the village."

"Is that it?!"

Upon hearing that the Willow God was actually the giant lightning-struck tree, Shi Ziling was stunned at first, but then his face lit up with joy.

Although he didn't know whether the lightning-struck wood could cure his Hao'er, he had sensed the lightning-struck wood and knew that it was extremely extraordinary. Maybe there was a way to save Hao'er!

Qin Yining, who also heard this, was delighted, and the despair in her eyes faded a little. She gently stroked Shi Hao's little face, as if conveying hope and courage to him: "Hao'er, we are saved. Mother will not give up on you."

Shi Ziling, who had recovered, immediately loosened his hands and quickly turned to look at Shi Yunfeng and said, "Please, clan leader and all the brothers, take us to see the Willow God. As long as Hao'er can be cured, we are willing to pay any price."

Looking at the expectant parents in front of him, Shi Yunfeng felt mixed emotions.

He was very aware of the mystery and power of the Willow God, but he also understood that the Willow God had his own principles and not all requests would be responded to.

However, faced with hope in such a desperate situation, how could he bear to refuse?

"Okay, I'll take you there."

Finally, Shi Yunfeng sighed helplessly and led them out of the room.

After a while, led by Shi Yunfeng, the group passed through the village and came to the towering lightning-struck tree.

"Lord Liu, we are the descendants of the Wuwang Mansion of the Stone Kingdom. We have come here today to seek an audience. Please save our child."

Lightning struck the tree, and Shi Ziling knelt down without thinking, his voice filled with endless pleading and hope in despair.

Qin Yining, who was standing beside him, followed closely behind. Her legs also gave way as she knelt down. “Please, Willow God, save my Hao’er. He is still so young and hasn’t had a good look at the world yet. Please, save him!”
