Everyone sat on the ground, looking at Shishu with puzzled eyes, waiting for him to explain.

Shi Shu, his wife and children brought pickled food, a few buckets of juice, and a stack of wooden bowls, and stretched out their hands to signal everyone to be free.

"Why do the gods protect the tribes?"

Shi Shu thought for a moment and opened with a question sentence.

"I know, I know!"

A young-looking young man rushed to raise his hand, and he almost didn't say, choose me, ask me!

"Genzai, you say."

Captain Ishiki smiled kindly, and the young recruits have always been the object of their care, just like their own children.

"For the faith!"

At this moment, Genzai is a child waiting for praise from adults.

"That's right, faith!"

"I can understand the old village chief's thoughts, our Shenshu Village has always lived on its own, and he feels unsteady when he pins everything on God."

"You should have heard rumors of other tribal gods, and tribes and gods are interdependent. For the sake of faith, the gods need to have complete control over the tribe and will not allow voices that differ from Him. Neither had a choice, and even if someone angered the gods, he would not cause irreparable harm to the entire tribe. ”

"The Tree God is obviously different, the god produced by the sacrifice does not experience the Thunder Tribulation, he is only manifested after the Thunder Tribulation. I speculate that his existence is similar to that of a demon god, as evidenced by the fact that he can leave the village entirely. ”

"In other words, we are unilaterally under the protection of God."

"Lord Tree God does not have the slightest control over the tribe, and the reason why he shelters us is because of the affection that we have been with for countless years. The Sacred Tree Village is inseparable from the Tree God, and we must dedicate our faith and show our worth so that we will not be abandoned by the Tree God. ”

"The village chief's idea is well-intentioned, and he wants us to be self-reliant, and his attitude will not anger the tree god for a while. However, the more you use it, the less you use it. When the Tree God feels that we don't need Him, or that we run out of affection, do we really have the ability to gain a foothold in the Ganquan Mountains? ”

"Standing alive? Or do you give your faith for the future of your village? Me and the village chief, who is wrong? ”

The village chief is the person Shi Shu respects the most, but he is like this. Shi Shu, who was in a complicated mood, confided in his comrades-in-arms while drinking a bowl of juice from time to time, and soon fell asleep groggily.

The two of them carefully carried the stone tree to the bedroom, and then everyone left together.

It's too complicated! Leave these things to the two of them, and we'll only be responsible for bringing back plenty of prey. Everyone went home to rest with a smile, as long as there was no conflict between Shi Shu and the village chief, they didn't bother to think about other things.

Young people, I don't know that disagreement is more terrible than any contradiction.

The next day, Shi Shu went to visit the village chief's house with gifts.

As soon as the door opened, the village chief saw the things he was carrying, his face immediately changed, and he slammed the door shut.

The village chief's reaction was too intense, and Shi Shu was a little confused by the second monk. He stood in front of the village chief's house and thought for a while, then looked at the things he was carrying, and then suddenly realized.

"Uncle, I brought good tobacco leaves. Some time ago, I was afraid that you would not be able to control the pumping too much and hurt your body, so I only took out a small part. It's all for you anyway, and it's all for you today. ”

Shishu shouted loudly into the courtyard.

The village chief opened the courtyard door with a tense face, snatched the tobacco leaves, ignored the stone tree at the door, and went straight back to the main hall.

Seeing that the village chief did not close the door again, Shi Shu smiled and walked into the wide open door.

"Boy, I'm still polite. Next time I come to the door with a gift, I'll break your legs. ”

The village chief, who smashed his mouth, pretended to emphasize fiercely.

"Uncle, my big man, what do you call 'boy', it's really."

"What, excuse me? In my eyes, you've always been the little kid who peed your pants. ”

The two of them had their own hearts and minds, and they no longer spoke, and the only sound in the lobby was the village chief smoking.

"Uncle, it stands to reason that your proposal should be made by me, a big man. You don't have to bear that much. ”

Shi Shu said ashamedly.

"You've been thinking about this all night?"

The village chief asked with a smirk.

"Don't you just want to risk sacrificing yourself to find out what the village is going to do? Could it be that there is something else? Shi Shu humbly asked.

"Oh, what do you think? It's just the two of us here, and we can just say it. The village chief's words are all about teaching Shishu.

"You want to test the Dryad's desire to control the village, and even if the Dryad-sama gets angry, it's only your fault. In case of success, the Sacred Tree Village will be even stronger. You sacrifice your ego to fulfillment"

As he spoke, Shi Shu was moved to tears and looked at the village chief with admiration.

"! I haven't lived long enough. Oh, I see, you kid thinks of the tree god as a murderous demon god. ”

The village chief hurriedly stopped Shi Shu and prevented him from continuing. The village chief looked at Shi Shu's moving appearance, and couldn't help but feel a little ashamed, he was not so great.

"Think about it, has the Treant ever shown a desire for faith?"

"Nope!"

Shi Shu suddenly realized, slapped his thigh, and stood up in shock.

"The body forging technique passed down by Lord Tree God is naturally wonderful, but it can't make us all the people in the village make such great progress, and the power of faith should be used by Lord Tree God on us."

As soon as the village chief spoke, Shi Shu couldn't believe it, he had never heard of such a generous god.

"You, you're still young, how do you know the miracles of heaven and earth. Does God necessarily need faith? Is God either a belief or a demon? I don't know, uncle, but I don't think everything is limited to what I know. ”

Shi Shu admired the wisdom of the village chief, and he still ate less salt, and the pride that had risen some time ago disappeared at this moment.

"Why did you have to argue with me last night?"

The stone tree still has something to understand.

"It's you kid who is against me, and the authority of the village chief must be maintained. Regardless of whether or not the Tree God will leave, and when he will leave, I believe that I, an ordinary person who will die at any time, is far less stable than believing in the Tree God. One hundred and three villagers, one thousand four hundred and twenty-one prisoners, it is not a matter of strict defense. ”

"I haven't been able to give you grace and power, but you kid took the initiative to cooperate and stand up to promote the status of the tree god in the village. Our good life is visible to the naked eye, and as long as they are sure of their faith, it is believed that these captives will soon integrate into the village. ”

The village said with a smile that the stone trees were also unintentionally planted with willows and willows.

"If I hadn't contradicted you, how are you going to exert your power?"

Shi Shu asked curiously.

"It's all gone, what's the use."

"Isn't that a little more learning from you?"

"How can there be immortals in the mountains and forests, when can slaves live so well, and it is not a pity for those who waste food to die! Shenshu Village lacks people, but it is better to lack than to abuse, and such people joining the village will drag down the development of the village. ”
