Chapter 257: A New Life Is Born
From a distance, the king of trees is still just a tree trunk, standing bare on the top of the mountain, like a deciduous tree species in the northern winter. Despite the lack of leaves, you can still see the size of this tree. It covers almost a quarter of the hillside, and the trunk looks so desolate and lonely.
Xiao Qing and Mo Ke jumped down halfway up the mountain and paced up little by little. Xiao Qing's heart was filled with endless sadness. The whole heart was discouraged, and he did not dare to go any further, for fear that the only remaining humble hope that had been ignited would be dashed again.
"Moke, are we going the wrong way, not here?"
Xiao Qingzheng was saying that the flock of chirping birds had arrived, and they kept flying and dancing around the canopy of the tree king.
With the flapping of his wings, Xiao Qing saw the denser and different general existence hidden in the dense part of the tree trunk. Xiao Qing's whole eyes were shining.
"Moke, is that a giant bird's nest?"
Xiao Qing didn't hesitate anymore, didn't wait for Mo Ke's answer, and flew away. When he arrived in front of the Tree King, before he could look up, Xiao Qing saw the scene under the tree.
An adult doe lies under a tree in pain, its huge belly rising and falling. Its gentle eyes looked at Xiao Qing and Mo Ke, as if asking for help, and as if waiting for the two of them to witness.
Just as Xiao Qing hesitated, under Xiao Qing's gaze, his stomach twisted violently, and a new life emerged between the doe's legs. Oh my God, what did Xiao Qing witness? A new life was born!
The deer, small, with its lovely, cute big eyes and its mother's bodily fluids, was struggling to stand up. But its legs were still too weak to support its body. Once, twice, and finally it was able to stand up and hold on for a few minutes. But it was not satisfied, and soon walked towards Xiao Qing step by step.
I don't know why, seeing this new life, Xiao Qing moistened his eyes. This is the descendant of the deer king, right? This is the first new life since the new birth of the elven world, right? It turned out to be a deer? Is it a coincidence? Xiao Qing didn't dare to think about it at all.
The fawn staggered over, falling countless times halfway, but it still stubbornly walked towards Xiao Qing. At this moment, Xiao Qing, looking at this new life, gradually came out of the sadness of the death of three relatives and friends.
The deceased is gone, no matter how sad we are, we must look forward, we must look forward, there is still a long way to go, and there are still many hardships. The highest respect for the deceased is to keep the memory of the deceased in mind, to move forward bravely with their hopes and expectations, and to complete their unfulfilled wishes.
Looking at this tenacious new life, Xiao Qing wanted to catch up, but Mo Ke stopped her.
"Bing'er, what it needs is training, not doting!"
Xiao Qing nodded deeply and stared at it. Finally, it walked in front of Xiao Qing. Xiao Qing knelt down beside it early. It came up and licked Xiao Qing's outstretched hand. The doe came over and lovingly licked the wet fur of the fawn's body little by little. Endless maternal love is sublimated in this ordinary act.
Countless animals poured up to watch this new life. Time seems to stand still, and the world seems to stand still. Tie Ning and the others rushed over, and what they saw was full of joy for the birth of a new life and a beautiful vision for the future.
There was a crisp click, breaking the peaceful and warm scene. All the people and the animals followed the sound, and it came from the place that looked like a large bird's nest among the branches of the tree king, and there was a constant clattering sound from inside.
Xiao Qing and Mo Ke jumped on each other and stood on a slightly higher branch. Xiaoqing stood upright, with Yaya on the top of her head and neck. I saw it, I saw it, and it turned out to be a huge bird's egg. The eggshell is cracking from the top to the middle. The last round head emerges from the egg. At the same time it emitted a loud chirp.
Its cry was so loud that it pierced the atmosphere of overflowing happiness and went straight to the sky.
The newborn fawn under the tree, as if it had been inspired by it at this moment, bleated along, and its voice was immature but also rich.
All the animals, it seems, have been inspired. At this moment, they all chirped one after another. One after the other, one after the other. Xiao Qing, who was called, was also enthusiastic, and she couldn't help but gather her hands and curl up like she did when she was a child. It was like a horn sound coming from Xiao Qing's curled palm.
And then the miracle unfolded again. Little by little, the dead tree king turned green. A small arched bud grows on each branch. The buds grow rapidly, and young leaves the size of a finger emerge. In the blink of an eye, it became the size of a copper coin. In an instant, it was already the size of a child's fist.
All people, all animals, rejoice. The happy expressions and jumping bodies all show their irrepressible excitement.
"Mother, mother!" Yaya, shouted excitedly.
"Xiao Qing, Xiao Qing!" Xiao Qing was a little excited and incoherent.
Xiao Qing also understood, and she also thought of it. She jumped down from the tree and crouched beside the fawn!
"Are you the deer king?"
All people, all living beings, held their breath and looked intently at the fawn that had just been born for less than half an hour, waiting for its answer with hope.
The deer, blinking its eyes, looked at Xiao Qing, looked at Moke, looked at Yaya, and finally it looked around at all the life here.
"Are you the deer king?"
Xiao Qing couldn't help but ask again, holding Mo Ke's hand unnaturally with force, and his palms were wet with sweat.
The fawn smiled mischievously. Yes, Xiao Qing just thought it was smiling. Then it nodded.
There was a cheer and a chirp. Xiao Qing's eyes were already full of tears.
Xiao Qing didn't seem to be sure, she wiped her eyes and stood up, looking at the newborn bird in the tree.
"Are you Cangyun?"
With a crisp chirp, the bird suddenly flapped its wings and flew out, landing directly on Xiao Qing's right shoulder. Just like when I first saw it in the palace.
Xiao Qing cried. The girl burst out laughing. Mo Ke looked at Xiao Qing affectionately.
But it wasn't enough, Xiao Qing looked at the big tree, his eyes widened, and his hands were put to his mouth as if he was amplifying. In the end, he shouted out the voice of his heart.
"The Tree Kingโ"
The king of trees suddenly swayed the trunk of the tree, moving without wind.
Xiao Qing no longer doubted, and some were full of joy. She ran straight over with joy and tears, the momentum almost shattered herself, but Xiao Qing didn't care, she just died, holding the trunk firmly. At the moment when Xiao Qing was about to hit the trunk of the tree, Cang Yun flew up with a chirp and fell back into the nest on the tree.
For a long time, for a long time, Xiao Qing didn't move, he hugged it firmly, hugged it firmly, and all the words were drowned in this embrace. All were in tears. These tears of joy can touch everyone's heart even more.
Mo Ke walked over, hugged Xiao Qing from behind, and surrounded her in his arms. Xiao Qing was trembling all the time.
Time flies, and half a year later.
In the past six months, Xiao Qing and Mo Ke's footprints have traveled to almost every corner of the elven world, especially the once grassless world on the other side of the river that everyone has basically never set foot in. Every day, two people walk side by side, leaving early and returning late. It's like a little couple wandering around every day with nothing to do.
It is said that it is loitering, it is better to say that Xiao Qing is exploring. Mo Ke understood Xiao Qing's thoughts. Xiao Qing wants to strangle all the factors that can threaten the development of the elven world in the cradle, and she wants to make sure that nothing goes wrong here. Mo Ke didn't care about anything, didn't ask anything, and quietly followed Xiao Qing's side.
Sometimes Xiaoqing will also accompany her, but more often, she accompanies Yaya. Now Xiaoqing, Yaya, and Mu Xi are almost inseparable. Several of them were very young and handsome. Mu Xi looks to be in his twenties, young and healthy. Xiaoqing is a handsome young man of seventeen or eighteen years old, although he is still cold in the past, he can always see tenderness in his eyes.
Yaya is no longer the cute appearance of childhood. He grew tall. She still loves to laugh. Her laughter still touches everyone. Wherever she is, the animals poke their heads out in curiosity. Look at the little fairies in their minds. The innocent, innocent eyes of animals can sprout everyone. Their appearance always makes Yaya more cheerful.
Tie Ning, Ye Yujiang, and Xue Biyi built a few simple wooden houses on the edge of the Shentan Valley. Several people are together every day, talking and laughing. Tie Ning and Xue Biyi took their previous personalities to the extreme. Even Yeyujiang has added a lot of humor on top of the original calmness.
For more than half a year, the biggest joy of several people every day is to pass on what they have learned to Yaya. Mo Ke and Xiao Qing have never stopped. Only then did everyone realize what an unusual existence Yaya was. In memory, comprehension, and control, it can be said that among the people you see, there is no one who is unsurpassed.
Yaya's progress is not enough to describe with speed. Half a year, for others, it is only half a year. But for Yaya, it is equivalent to ten years of smart, hardworking and hard-working people. Even what she gets, others may not be able to catch up in ten or twenty years.
At this time, Mu Xi stood aside with a smile and looked at Yaya. The doting in his eyes was no less than Mo Ke looking at Xiao Qing. It seems that as long as Yaya is happy, as long as Yaya gets it, he is happier than he has it.
The fawn was already running and jumping around merrily. It's as lively as a girl. Every time I chase with Yaya by the pool. Many animals stopped and watched from afar at the mouth of the valley. In just seven months, it has grown into a toned young male deer. His posture and expression are all very similar to those of the Deer King. The only difference is that it doesn't speak.
That little Cangyun had already been flying in the entire elf world. Its long wings, with a slight glide, can fly for miles. Sometimes Xiao Qing wandered around the elven world, and it was in the air to guide the way. With each of its calls, it attracts countless animals to follow.
The Tree King is on its hillside, overlooking the entire elven world. Its towering is the coordinates of the elven world, a true portrayal of the prosperity of the elven world. Countless animals come to it every day to pay homage to it.
