When Bandacsada talks to me, his mood may be heavy. By now, a lot of things are clearer. I'm sure that the Jedan Dumbardon family asked their slaves to guard the tree because it was closely related to the well. The secret of the holy well, the Jedan Dunbadun family knew about it a long time ago, but they didn't mess around, and even the Banda family, which they had been following, didn't reveal it.

However, the ancestors of the Jedan Dunbatun family may have expected such a day, so they specially left this tree. As long as the tree remains, the secrets of the holy well will not be completely buried.

Before Djedan Dumbadun died, he had a deep understanding of the situation of the male and the wish of Bandacsada, and maybe he also knew that it was time to uncover this secret, and if he didn't reveal it now, he might not have a chance in the future.

We rested here for the night and early the next morning, we were ready to go. I now understand that Lao Wang, Zhang Momo, and Ning Kitten, they are the descendants of these three families, and they are the ones who are now responsible for guarding the tree. They have their own names, but their names are tongue-twisting and strange to me, and I'm still willing to call them by their original names.

Zhang Momo and Ning Kitten took me out of here and rushed back to Basi. Our current identity has been recognized by them, and Ning Xiaomei has more words, but she doesn't dare to go directly to talk to Bandacado, and constantly surrounds me, looking at opportunities to ask questions, and we don't understand the language, so we all have to rely on gestures to communicate.

From here to Basi, a one-day journey, so many days of long journey, my physical strength is faintly overdrawn, and I feel powerless as I walk. Bandatsada stopped to rest, and the four of them drank some water together.

Ning Kitten kept looking at me with a curious gaze, and when I sat down, I found that Zhang Momo's gaze at me seemed to be full of curiosity.

Her gaze was still clear, even clearer than when I knew her in another time and space. It's like the sky on this plateau, pure and immaculate.

I don't know why, but my heart suddenly tingled. I remembered my agreement with her, and remembered what we had always wanted to say, but never finished.

If there is, I want to say it now, but I don't have a chance.

After more than a day of trekking, we returned to Basi, Lao Wang was still hiding in the dense shade with his bow, Zhang Momo and Ning Kitten and Lao Wang muttered for a while, it can be seen that Lao Wang is very happy, because the oath and commitment of the family ancestors are now over, from now on, they don't have to be a guardian anymore, but like all ordinary people, come and go freely.

Banda Chado and I began to face this tree at the same time, and now it is completely confirmed that the clues of Zhedan Dunbadun before his death are very important, although this place is so far away from the holy well of Dapeng Silver City, there must be an inseparable relationship between this tree and the holy well.

I walked around the tree several times, and the conifers grew slowly, the tree was scary-old, but the trunk wasn't particularly thick. As I walked, I kept thinking, what is the secret of this tree?

Writing on the tree? Is there a hidden hole around the tree? Can I go somewhere else through this hole? All kinds of speculations keep coming to mind, and they are constantly being denied by themselves.

Bandacado spoke a few words to the three of them, probably asking about the specifics of the tree. The three men have been guarding the tree for four years, and have stayed here almost all the time unless there are special circumstances. But they never thought about what secret the tree would hide, and Bandatchado asked for a while, but couldn't come up with why.

All clues need to be thought about and explored by ourselves.

Bandacsaddo stood under the tree for a long time, and then slowly climbed up the tree. He didn't move quickly, but he climbed very steadily, and before long, Bandacsaddo had climbed above the canopy. There was nothing noteworthy in the canopy, and when Bandaca came down, he sat silently in the shade of the big tree, closed his eyes and meditated.

Lao Wang was still broken-mouthed, muttering there, Zhang Momo glared at him, and Lao Wang didn't dare to talk anymore.

Bandacsada seemed to settle down, and a few of us hid to the side. Life here is very hard, only the most basic food to survive, Lao Wang is very kind, take out the yak jerky that has been treasured for a long time, boiled it in water for us to eat.

My mental and physical strength was indeed a little unable to keep up, Bandacsada did not say a word, I waited a little tired, leaned against a stone next to me, and unconsciously took a nap.

I woke me up by the muttering of Lao Wang and Ning kittens, and I looked up, and the two of them didn't know when they opened my bag and pulled out some messy things. When I opened my eyes, Lao Wang was holding a photo in his hand, and he and Ning Kitten were together and looking at it.

That photo may be one of the few photos I have, it is very clear and spiritual, and I specially brought this photo out when I was packing up in Huayang.

I couldn't understand what they were saying, but I had the feeling that they were arguing about who the person in the picture was.

When the two of them found out that I was looking at them, they immediately looked a little weak, and Lao Wang smiled awkwardly. Immediately after, Ning Kitten came to me with a photo and gestured to me that this was the best painting she had ever seen in her life.

Zhang Momo didn't talk much, and it wasn't until this time that she put down the knife in her hand, squatted next to Ning Xiaomei, looked at the photo, and looked at me again.

I didn't hide from her gaze, I raised my head and let her see. I wonder if some things, some inductions, can transcend endless time and space, endless regions. She looked at me in the photo, and could she tell that it was actually me before.

After looking at it for a while, Zhang Momo didn't say anything, stuffed the photo to Ning Kitten, sat aside again, and slowly sharpened his knife.

Lao Wang was full of interest in the things in my bag, fiddling with them one by one. Anyway, he couldn't understand anything, and kept gesturing to me to ask. Lao Wang's side was gesturing vigorously, and Bandacsad, who had been sitting upright for a long time, opened his eyes.

"I see that someone has left something here."

"You see? Who? What's left? ”

"It's been too long to see clearly." Bandacsaddo got up from the ground and circled the old tree again.

When turning to the position of the old tree facing west, Bandacado stopped, and I felt that he had discovered something, and hurried over.

Bandacsado's eyes were fixed on the trunk of the old tree about a meter or so, where there was a scar that was not easy to distinguish.

At this moment, there is no need to say anything, I took two knives from Lao Wang and Ning Kitten, and then together with Banda Chado, I began to chop slowly.

The bark and trunk were hard, and it didn't take long for the knife to be dulled. As soon as the knife was blunt, Lao Wang took it and sharpened it, and cut it back and forth, and after cutting off the bark for a circle, I saw a very strange nodule.

Normally, tree nodules grow on the outside, but this tree nodule is on the inside of the bark. If you don't cut off the bark, you probably won't be able to find this clue.

According to the location and size of the tree, the tree was cut down when it was not too big, and something may have been put in it, and over time, the cut part of the tree healed, and after so many years, almost even the scars left at that time were almost gone.

I felt that the contents of the tree were almost connected to the tree, and if I wanted to take out the things, I had to cut the tree completely from about a meter away. This is a manual work, I can't do it anymore, Lao Wang came to help, he was holding a knife, with a bitter and hateful face, in fact, he and Ning Xiaomei and Zhang Momo are estimated to be very annoyed by this tree, because they want to protect this tree, and the young people in the family want to waste all their most precious time in this grassless place.

Lao Wang was reckless, but his strength was not ambiguous at all, and he was at least twice as fast as me when he cut down trees. And he also had relevant experience, and in about an hour, the body of the tree was cut in nearly half.

Lao Wang grabbed the rope that had been tied to the tree in advance, and then pulled it so hard that the crown of the tree began to shake, and the trunk tilted in the opposite direction of the blade. There was a clattering sound that tickled my ears.

Now may not be able to pull down the big tree, Lao Wang came over to make up a few knives in the gap, just pulled for a while, and then cut for a while, another half an hour passed, the big tree was overwhelmed, with a sound of broken bones and tendons, and slowly fell to the ground.

At the moment when the cross-section of the trunk of the large tree was fully exposed, I saw at a glance that there was something almost close to the center of the tree.

At first glance, it looked like a stone, but when I looked at it again, I felt that it was a carved stone, as if it were a stone bottle.
