"Acacia is the beginning of love and hate, and the germ of the love and righteousness of all things in the world."

"Atonement is a human responsibility, and some people are born with sins in this world, and they spend their lives in repentance and enlightenment."

"If someone hates, someone is ashamed, if someone is ashamed, someone resents, if someone resents, someone pity, and if someone pity, someone loves. Love and hatred are the norm in the world. ”

……

The envoy of the Shu country went to the tree for a few tosses, and the flying pigeon passed the book back to the Shu country, waiting for the news.

When he came back, he confronted the Acacia King in silence in the palace, puffing out his cheeks and looking displeased.

"The Acacia Divine Tree is the foundation of your country, is the king too careless to let it wither."

"The lifespan of the sacred tree is not something that can be controlled alone, just like the words of your high priest of the Shu Kingdom, who can speculate?"

The lovesick king is dead and dead, you can still bring it back to life, anyway, you take the appearance of being lonely, while putting a low posture to give face to the messenger, while not caring at all about the other party's words, pretending to be stupid.

Interesting.

Ye Fu has been behind the curtain, listening to the envoys outside.

Wait for the messenger's saliva to be dry, and the sun has gone down before leaving the main hall.

Ye Fu was also able to come out and breathe a sigh of relief.

The Acacia King handed over a glass of warm water: "Tomorrow I will accompany Gu to a place and do three things to atone for your sins." ”

"Atonement?"

"The Sacred Tree died because of you, and you always have to pay a price. If you fail to complete or fail to do three things, Lone will kill you and explain to the envoy of Shuguo. I believe that with your identity, the people of Shu Guo are happy to see you become their prisoner. With an inquiring and faint smile in his eyes, the Acacia King pursed his thin lips slightly, "Don't worry, if you do it, there will be a reward for you." ”

Ye Fu frowned and looked at the lovesick king who suddenly spoke violently, a little surprised, but he didn't dare to ask.

I'm afraid that if one is not careful, his head will be lost.

The next day, the Acacia King disguised himself as a common man, and took Ye Fu, who was dressed plainly, out of the palace and came to the border of the Acacia country.

There, there were several families, one or two people in the family.

The Acacia King stood outside the door and whispered to Ye Fu: "The lonely name Acacia Lianshan, you can call me Lianshan." ”

Ye Fu smiled faintly and nodded.

The lovesick king wants to hide his identity, so why not help her hide it?

Walking into the farmhouse, the old woman who was washing clothes by the fence in the yard got up, wiped her wet hands on her body, looked at Lian Shan at a loss, and said cautiously: "Mr. Lian is here." ”

"Hmm. How's your daughter-in-law doing? ”

"Ugh." The old woman sighed and looked at the hidden door, "I'm still depressed, I shut myself in the house all day long, and it's good that Mr. is here." ”

Lian Shan nodded, turned to look at Ye Fu and said: "The first thing you did was to coax the old woman and daughter-in-law to please her, and ask her to confide in you and get out of the haze." ”

After speaking, Lian Shan pushed off the fence and left, leaving Ye Fu and the old woman relatively speechless.

"Oh, I ...... it."

Ye Fu has never been a comforting master, at first glance when he received this hot potato, he was stunned, looked at the old woman and grinned: "Old woman, why is your daughter-in-law unhappy?" ”

"My son left a few months ago, leaving us two women behind."

The loss of a husband is indeed worth grieving.

Ye Fu expressed his understanding in his heart.

The old woman seemed to believe in the people brought by Lian Shan, and was quite polite to Ye Fu, led her into the house and sat down, and poured a bowl of bitter tea: "Little brother, don't take things too seriously, Mr. Lian has done enough for us, and I dare not ask him to do more." ”

"Mr. Lian, has he been helping you?"

Including more than a dozen people around, all the way. Lian is familiar with it, as if he comes often.

"Mr. Lian often comes to us for diagnosis and treatment, and if he is sick, he sends people to send medicine to suffer, and he is the living Bodhisattva of our Acacia clan."

"Acacia?"

"Hmm. More than 30 people from more than a dozen families here are the only remaining Acacia people. ”

"The people near the palace?"

"Wife, I don't know."

Ye Fu didn't ask again, and a young woman came out of the back room, holding a casual and simple bun.

"Mother."

The woman raised her eyes to look at Ye Fu, and was wary of the stranger who suddenly appeared in the house, "Who are you?" ”

"I ......"

"Get me out!"

The woman suddenly lost her temper and rushed Ye Fu out of the door.

The old woman hurriedly walked over and pressed the woman's hand and said, "He is a guest invited by Mr. Lian to accompany you to heal." ”

"Mother! I said I'm not sick! ”

"Wu'er, don't be stubborn."

The woman seemed a little helpless, looked at the old woman and glanced at Ye Fu again, and turned around to go back to her house.

Ye Fu found that the young woman's belly was bulging and pregnant.

"Old woman, your daughter-in-law, how many months has the child been?"

"Six months old. The child's father only left three months ago, and he didn't see the child when he died. ”

The posthumous son is a kind of life extension for the dead father, but the hope attachment to the living mother-in-law and daughter-in-law is to see things and think about people.

"My daughter-in-law here, life is miserable. She is angry in her heart, and the old woman can understand and understand it. ”

The old woman reached out and wiped away her tears, staggered to the courtyard, and continued to scrub her previous clothes.

Ye Fu sat in the house for a long time, walked to the woman's door and knocked on the door: "Can you come out and talk?" ”

Ye Fu stood outside and waited quietly, and after a while he saw the woman coming out of it, and the corners of her eyes were undried tears.

"What do you want to say? If I had persuaded me to keep the child as Mr. Lian did, it would have been impossible. ”

Surprised, Ye Fu felt incredulous at the words of the woman in front of him.

Who would be cruel not to want their own children?

"I like Mr. Lian."

Ye Fu looked up at the bold woman in front of him in shock, and then felt that his gaze was too rude, and hurriedly lowered his head to apologize: "It's me who is rude." ”

"Did Mr. Lian ask you to reject me?"

"He didn't let me reject you."

"Then him."

"Enlighten you, live well, and raise your children to adulthood."

Ye Fu selfishly added the last two sentences, not knowing that this would bind a woman for a lifetime.

The woman retorted disapprovingly: "I know what Mr. Lian means, but he can't stop me from liking him." ”

"But you have a husband, and though he is gone, you always have a child."

"So what? If you have affection, you can be together, this is what Mr. Lian himself said. The women of the lovesick country have never been restrained by secular morality, they love if they want to love, and they can marry if they want to, even if they are princes and nobles, they can't help me. ”

Looking at the confident and bright woman in front of him, Ye Fu couldn't help but be curious about the cheerful and simple folk customs here.

"Is there anything else special about the woman of Acacia?"

"There's nothing that isn't special. Every woman is the treasure of the world, and she should be held in the palm of her hand by a man. There is only one person who can't get this kind of honor, and that is the lovesick king! ”

The woman's eyes suddenly became sharp, "Their royal family is the most sinful person!" It will never be forgiven by the lovesick people! ”

Ye Fu was shocked by the woman's sudden monstrous hatred and retreated, leaning on the edge of the door and looking at the woman: "Why? I heard that the Acacia royal family has been dedicated to the people and sacrificed themselves, why did they become the wicked people in your mouth? ”

The woman snorted, but turned her face away and said nothing.

Ye Fu was stunned and pursed his lips: "Your mother-in-law, you know what you are thinking." ”

The woman looked up at the old man who was washing his clothes with his head hanging outside the door, shook her head, and nodded again.

"Mother-in-law, she knows." There were tears in the woman's eyes, "I proposed reconciliation and divorce even when my husband was still alive. It's just that he died suddenly. My mother-in-law knows what she thinks, but she still hopes that I can give birth to this child and continue the bloodline for his son. ”

The old woman did not ask for anything, but followed her daughter-in-law's temper.

Such a relationship made Ye Fu a little puzzled, and at the same time happy.

Is this a form of social progress?

"And what do you think now?"

"I'll leave this house after I give birth."

"Children are your own flesh and blood." Ye Fu stated lightly.

"I will raise him to adulthood, give him the material he deserves, and the rest, he can't stop me."

Ye Fu frowned slightly and thought: I read a report a few years ago, there was a woman on it, who was originally a person with a career, because the family had to give up the work at hand and return home to teach her husband and children to start the life of Mrs. Kuo.

But women don't seem to pay much attention to their families and children, and they immediately return to work when their children go to school and become elites in the workplace.

Women like to be glamorous, to be independent, and to carry their duties and responsibilities more clearly than anything else.

Many people in society condemn a woman for treating her children poorly, saying that she does not give her children the maternal love they deserve.

At that time, Ye Fu felt that being able to put down his beloved career and existing life to teach his husband and children was the biggest concession made by a woman, and for the child, she also fulfilled her due obligations, the child did not go the wrong way to become a big traitor, and got the education and behavioral habits that should be cultivated.

Is it true that every child is fed as if he was born with a golden key?

Ye Fu did not dare to agree.

On the other hand, the woman in front of her is comparable to the woman in Ye Fu's impression.

"I agree with you. But there are too many uncontrollable factors in reality, how can you guarantee that the child will not hate you when he grows up, and whether your mother-in-law will die when the child is young. ”

"Why should I think about all this stuff so sooner? It's good to live in the moment, I just know that I desperately want to see Mr. Lian now and tell him that I like him for a long time. ”

Ye Fu smiled faintly: "It seems that you don't need my enlightenment." ”

Walking out of the woman's house, walking out for a mile, Ye Fu found Lian Shan in the shade of a tree.

I told him what I was talking about.

"How do you think this woman is tricky, someone who heals herself completely."

"Have you forgotten, what is the premise for her to say she likes me?"

"Huh?" Ye Fu rolled his eyes, and was suddenly shocked, "Acacia King!" You are the lovesick king! She has a great hatred for the Lovesick King. ”

Lian Shan nodded: "If she knew my identity, I'm afraid it wouldn't be as simple as giving up the child." ”

"She may kill herself because she has a crush on her enemy, or she may come to kill you. In short, no matter what the outcome is, it will be a disaster for the sparsely populated country of Acacia. Because, the woman represents the lovesick people. ”

Lian Shan let out an "um" and leaned on the bench without speaking.

The shadows of the trees swayed, and the sun swam over them.

"Won't you worry about it anymore?" Ye Fu has some doubts and even good concerns.

"Don't underestimate the women of the Acacia clan, each of them has spent time in the academy, and there are ink articles in their bellies. It's just a catastrophe that left this clan dead and wounded...... Their strength is the secret of the existence of the rumored Acacia country. ”

After speaking, Lian Shan got up and stared at Ye Fu, carefully as if he was glued to her.

Lian Shan stretched out his slender hand and waved it on Ye Fu's body, bringing up wisps of faint blue light, mixed with a little fiery red fluffy filament, converging into a ball of unknown gas, which was dragged into a transparent bottle by Lian Shan.

Back in the palace, Lian Shan poured the dark blue light and fiery red filaments in the bottle on the small god sapling, and the naked eye could see that the small sapling was a little taller, and another leaf came out.

"What is this?"

"The feelings that the woman is wrapped around you."

"Because I came into contact with her, I also have it on me?"

Lian Shan nodded and explained: "Lovesickness, especially the feelings of lovesick women, is an excellent nutrient for the growth of the sacred tree. ”

"The rumors turned out to be true. The growth of the sacred tree really needs to be irrigated with true affection......"

"It used to be royalty. When the power of the Imperial Family was abolished, there was no power to regenerate the sacred tree. That is why, the sacred tree withers. If Gu is not mistaken, you had a dream under the sacred tree. And that dream was the cause of the depletion of the sacred tree's energy. ”

Ye Fu recalled the dream, his eyebrows flashed, and then he raised his head and asked Lian Shan: "Are you using her?" ”

Take advantage of the woman's feelings and reforge the sacred tree.

Lian Shan was silent and did not answer, and his silence made Ye Fu sure that everything was as she said.

"Lovesick King, she said that you are a sinful and unworthy person, and she is really not wrong at all!"

Lian Shan did not refute Ye Fu's accusation, closed the bottle lightly, and returned to the dormitory.

Ye Fu followed in, and saw that Lian Shan had taken off his snow-white coat and opened his underwear, revealing the skinny inside.

"You ......"

"See?"

Lian Shan's body, no, can no longer be called a body, it is simply like a branch. Crumpled and withered to the point of not being human-shaped.

"Outside of the gold, the defeat is in it. Trees only live and die, and have no feelings. The Acacia royal family and the sacred tree have always been of the same root and blood, and they are directly connected to the lonely generation. Therefore, it is an outlier in the lovesick country that values love and righteousness. But the people of the royal family held the supreme power, and everyone had no choice but to obey the order, but they were not convinced in their hearts. ”

"So, you've been currying favor with the people?"
