Chapter 3: Not a Dryad

Zhang also laughed, but she laughed and laughed, and she was worried: "It's really a lovely child, how good it would be if I could take it away." Let him alone in the mountains, what if he encounters jackals, tigers and leopards? He was so young that no one looked after him, what did he eat and drink? ”

Shi Lin didn't want Zhang to worry, so he said without thinking about it: "I built him a hut here, and he couldn't go hungry when he brought him some food from time to time, he lived in the house, and ordinary beasts couldn't hurt him." ”

"How's that going to work?" Zhang shook his head and refused, "When you built a thatched hut, didn't you just tell others that there were people living here?" When the time comes, I meet a passer-by who wants to come in and rest and take shelter from the rain or something, and I see a little doll living here, isn't it strange? Or if someone discovers his secret and burns him to death as a monster, then it will kill him, you fool, and do your best to make a fool. ”

Shi Lin smiled innocently and scratched his head, "What my daughter-in-law said is that we can't hurt him." ”

The two couples were discussing what to do, when Zhang suddenly felt his fingers tighten, and looked down at the child, but the child was pulling her fingers, and at the same time raised a small arm and pointed into the forest.

What does that mean?

The couple was confused, and the child pointed again, seeing that Zhang's did not move and wanted to break out of her arms.

Only then did Zhang understand that he wanted the child to follow the direction he pointed.

Zhang is not afraid of this child at all now, when she holds it in her hand, she knows that this child is a fake child, even if he is really a monster, he is just a fragile child.

Didn't you see that you were so hungry that you ate dirt?

If it's really powerful, where it will be to the point of eating soil, as soon as she and Shi Lin appear, they should have eaten them.

But this kid didn't.

Zhang and Shi Lin are both people who have been in the village all their lives, they have never studied, and they don't have so many twists and turns, but they still retain a kindness in their hearts, and they are most likely to be compassionate to such children.

The husband and wife walked until they walked to a big tree that grew crookedly, and the child did not point again.

He struggled twice in Zhang's arms and motioned for Zhang to put him down.

Zhang also wanted to know what he was going to do, so he carefully placed him on the ground.

In the next scene, Zhang and Shi Lin's eyes widened involuntarily, and their mouths opened in surprise, and they didn't come back to their senses for a long time.

The boy got off the ground, threw himself into a tree, and then he was gone!

Gone, gone......

The husband and wife turned their heads stiffly, glanced at each other, and both saw deep fear in each other's eyes, and were about to run away, but out of the corner of their eyes, they found that the child had climbed out of the tree again!

He looked at Zhang and Shi Lin with a frightened expression, as if he was very puzzled, and crawled back again, only revealing a small head, looking at the two of them with some uneasiness.

He bared his head like this, as if a human head had grown from the root of a tree, and it could almost scare people to death.

Shi Lin and his wife's back were cold, their calves and stomach were trembling, they were so frightened that they couldn't move a step, and their minds were also blank.

The child thought about it suspiciously, as if he understood something, and his whole body climbed out of the tree, sat in front of the tree, opened two big black eyes, and looked at the couple in front of him cutely.

His eyes were pure, clear, without a hint of malice, and his expression was so innocent and lovely, the Shilin couple didn't know why, and suddenly they were not so afraid.

Shi Lin whispered: "Yueniang, he ...... He is...... Trees, dryads? ”

Zhang snorted him, and was about to answer, when the child sitting in front of the big tree suddenly said word by word: "It's not a tree demon." "It's pretty clear.

Yikes! Talking youkai!

Zhang and Shi Lin were taken aback again, this time their calves could move, and the husband and wife didn't say a word, and immediately ran away with rolling and crawling hand in hand.

When the child saw that they had suddenly run away, he opened his mouth and shouted, "Yueniang." ”

Zhang's back stiffened, and he ran faster and faster.

The child shouted, and it seemed that the more he shouted, the smoother he became, and the 'Yueniang' did not stop, which frightened Zhang and Shi Lin suddenly, and their steps staggered even more, and they disappeared from the child's sight after a while.

The child looked at the direction of the two in confusion, and said unconsciously in his mouth: "Yueniang, Yueniang, Dryad, not Dryad......"

He liked the feeling of talking very much, and read the conversation between Shi Lin and his wife exactly as it was, although he didn't understand the meaning, but he memorized all those words in his head.

He has a very good memory.

While talking to himself, he began to cultivate silently.

It's also a strange thing, he doesn't understand anything, but he can cultivate, and like instinct, he knows how to absorb the aura of heaven and earth for his own use.

It was as if he was born with cultivation, and it was as if cultivation was just instinct for him.

He didn't understand the anomaly in this, and he didn't think much about it, just assumed that he was born like this.

The progress of cultivation was slow, mainly because the aura between heaven and earth had become thinner and thinner, and there were too few and too few that could be absorbed by him.

He cultivated silently for three days, and he only sensed an extremely faint trace of air flow in the dantian, and such a trace of air flow was useless.

He was dying of hunger again.

I really want to eat rice soup and egg custard......

But he didn't know where those things were, and he searched everywhere when he had the strength to find them, but he didn't find anything.

Where he can go, he can't even see the ant's nest, and it's harder to find something to eat than to climb to the sky.

"Yueniang, Yueniang......" When he was hungry, he kept chanting Zhang's maiden name, and his eyes were looking straight at the direction where Zhang and Shi Lin left three days ago, hoping that they could still bring him food.

He regretted it a little now, it was so annoying to be attached to such a small body and want to eat every day.

He never went hungry before, and he had never been struck by lightning, nor had he been cut by anyone, he had always thrived smoothly and peacefully, where it was like now, he felt like he was going to die at every turn.

He doesn't want to die!

I don't know if his chatter finally worked, and when he was about to starve to death again, the Shilin couple appeared.

As soon as he saw Zhang and Shi Lin, his eyes immediately lit up, and he used all his strength to climb out of the Dayu Tree, calling out one after another: "Yueniang, Yueniang......"

His voice was so immature, so weak and powerless, Zhang only felt extremely uncomfortable when he heard it in his ears, and his eyes turned red at that time.

She and Shi Lin have been stunned for the past three days since they ran home three days ago, cutting out a hole in their fingers when cutting vegetables, always thinking about whether the child would starve to death if he was alone in the mountains, and whether he would be found and burned to death.

Both husband and wife were kind people, and the child did not hurt them, and they thought about it, but they could not bear it, and it took three days to convince themselves not to be afraid, and then they dared to come to see him.
