Chapter 2 The Single-Tree Forest

"Cher, you're finally back... It's finally back..."

"I'm finally back? What do you mean I'm finally back? Who are you? What is this place? Ling Xue asked suspiciously at the woman in white who couldn't see her face clearly.

"It doesn't matter who I am, the important thing is that the complete you are finally back, this is the real you, this is the world you should live in, and the three souls and seven spirits have finally returned"

"Bang" A heavy sound like a falling object woke Ling Xue up in her dream.

"Why am I asleep, three souls? It turned out that I was dreaming just now, but why did the woman in white in the dream say that I was good to be back, and that I should have lived here.

The ancient costume, the man in the ancient costume, and the wounds on his body, the words of the woman in white in this elegant wooden house in the dream, are these ancient times? And I crossed over," Ling Xue summed up the connection between what she had encountered.

"Then who is that man in costume covered in wounds? How could he be here with himself. Hey? What about people? When he turned around, he found that the man in ancient costume lying on the bed was gone.

"Eh, is there any mistake about this" Ling Xue's forehead couldn't help but fall three black lines, and when she opened the door, she realized that the wooden house she was in was actually a natural tree house, the tree house was composed of branches more than three meters above the tree, except for the door, everything around was natural, and Ling Xue had to sigh at the magic of nature at this moment.

But it's also difficult, she can't fly and hasn't climbed trees, how can she go down? Do you want to jump? It's at least three meters above the ground, and it's hard to jump off without breaking your hands and feet. and the "bang" that woke her up just now, could it be the sound of the man in costume falling. Thinking of this possibility, Ling Xue couldn't help but shudder.

"Fortunately, I wasn't reckless just now, otherwise I would have fallen like that man in ancient costume and fell half to death, but how can I go down? If you don't leave here, what if it's dark? I'm so hungry! Ling Xue looked at the faint sunlight and judged that it should be noon.

Before, there was a night pearl illuminated in the house, and it was impossible to distinguish day and night, and the so-called window was actually a small tree hole, blocked by dense leaves, and all that could be seen was leaves or leaves. Since she woke up, she has not taken a drop of water, and she has been busy saving people for a long time, Ling Xue has long been so hungry that her chest is pressed against her back.

"Forget it, it's better to fall to death than to starve, you have to give it a try." As he spoke, Ling Xue's feet had already stepped on a small foothold on the trunk of the tree, trying to climb down slowly.

"Whew... Hiss... Call... It's so dangerous..."Ling Xue sat on the tree door and patted her chest and gasped. Her right foot just now couldn't find a foothold and hung in the air, almost falling. Fortunately, she was quick to see and quickly returned to the tree gate, but she was frightened.

"Alas! If only there was a rope, there would be no need to be stumped by these few meters high, huh? That's right, why didn't you think of such a simple way as using clothes! It's really stupid" When Ling Xue was feeling sorry for herself, she found that the costume man's rotten clothes were still there, which she tore when she helped the costume man bandage his wounds, because she didn't find gauze, so she could only tear his clothes to use as gauze.

At that time, it took her a lot of effort, just because the quality of the clothes was too good.

"Finally came down, my hands are so sore and tired, my physique is really not ordinarily bad, it seems that I will have to strengthen my exercise in the future." Ling Xue said with a wry smile.

She barely had enough to tie the remaining half of her clothes to her coat, tied them to a trunk outside the gate, and climbed down them.

"Why did my jade pendant fall here? It must have just fallen when it came down, but luckily it just fell here. Ling Xue had only walked a few steps before she saw the purple jade pendant that had fallen to the ground, and she picked it up and put it back on her body without thinking too much.

This jade pendant was given to her by her grandmother when she was a child, saying that she asked for it as a talisman in the temple. The only thing that hurts her in modern times is grandma, since she was born, her parents have thrown her to her grandmother, in her impression, in addition to the indifferent back, or the indifferent back. It didn't hurt her at all, but unfortunately her grandmother died when she was ten years old, so she cherished this piece of jade very much.

"This tree is so big, it is a forest of its own! Oh, my God! How long will I have to get out of here? Ling Xue, who hadn't walked out of the woods for more than ten minutes, couldn't help but complain.

When the aerial roots continue to grow and touch the ground, the aerial roots penetrate into the soil and become a new root system of the tree, and branches and leaves can grow on the original aerial roots of the aboveground part, so that another tree grows. Day after day, countless fibrous roots grow on the ground, ranging in size to form a forest, and the diameter of the main tree is more than three meters, and the size of the forest can be imagined.

As night fell, a light was lit in a farmer's house.

Suddenly, there was a "clang", followed by the woman's frightened scream, "Hell... There are ghosts! "Slam the door shut.

"Ghosts? Where is it? Could it be me? Ling Xue, who was standing outside the fence gate, looked confused, looked left and right, and there was nothing but herself. Finally came to the foot of the mountain and saw someone's house, and before he could open his mouth, he scared people, Ling Xue said innocently.

She walked for two or three hours before she walked out of the canoe forest, dragging her tired body along the mountain road and finally came here to find someone's house, but before she could open her mouth for help, she was treated as a ghost.

God, are you more innocent? She could only walk to the door with difficulty, and said weakly while knocking on the door: "Auntie, open the door and I..."

"The fairy... Spare your life... The fairy spares her life... I beg the fairy not to take away my second baby... Please..."Before Ling Xue could finish speaking, she was interrupted by a frightened cry for mercy from the room.

She shook her head helplessly, and continued to say weakly: "Auntie, you open the door first, I'm not a ghost, I'm not a fairy, and I won't take away your second baby, I'm a human being, a person who needs you to save, I don't believe you open the door and see..."

"Ahh You..."Ling Xue waited for a few minutes after finishing her words with difficulty, and the door opened, but she saw the aunt staring at Ling Xue with wide eyes and pointing at Ling Xue with trembling eyes and unable to speak.

"Auntie, I'm human, you don't have to be afraid of me..."

"Am I that scary? Scares you like this? Isn't it a little embarrassing? Ling Xue looked at herself and asked, it's true that her clothes are very dirty. She didn't feel wrong with her long hair draped behind her head, she had always been like this, she never tied her hair. But she forgot that this moment was in ancient times, and she could not wear a drape, except for the dead. I don't know how ugly her image is at the moment, not to mention her cloak, her face is stained, and her white clothes have long since turned gray, mixed with blood and stains.

"I'm really a human being, do I have water? I'm so thirsty," Ling Xue asked, looking at the teacup on the table.

"There's... Yes... I'll pour the girl for the girl, please come in..."After listening to Ling Xue's words, the aunt who came back to her senses was no longer afraid, and began to greet her.
