Chapter 348: The Collapse of Joey's Faith
In the Jungle Bear, everyone gathered in a circle and listened to Li Mo tell the story of the childhood of Wood, the Great Sage of the Treant.
When everyone listened to Li Mo's story, they had a constipation-like distorted expression on their faces. Who would have thought that Wood's childhood would still be such a bear child.
Among them, Joey's reaction was the most intense. When he began to hear Li Mo's words, Joey's first reaction was that Li Mo was lying. But when Wood himself nodded in acknowledging the truth of the story in Limer's mouth. Joey felt that his three views had collapsed.
Wood is not known as the Great Sage because of his age. Woodman was agreed upon by all tribes for his fairness, kindness, and insistence on justice, and unanimously recognized him as a great sage. In fact, there was once a time when two small tribes clashed over some disputes, and finally came to Wood for arbitration. It can be said that in the eyes of all, Wood is synonymous with fairness and justice.
Joey also believed so, and Wood the Tree Man, at a very young age, was his idol and what he wanted to be. However, at this moment, he was told that Wood, the tree man, when he was young, was also a troubled teenager, a bear child?
At this moment, there was a clicking sound in Joey's ears, the sound of his faith collapsing.
However, listening to the story told by Li Mo, Wood, as the person concerned, did not feel this way. At this time, Wood was listening to Li Mo describe what he did in the game in his childhood with a look of interest. What Li Mo said was so long ago that he almost forgot it. At this time, it sounds more intimate. The things in the dream, similar to a little secret of Wood, are not known to many people.
"Hahaha, protection money-collectors, do they really call me that?" Wood slapped his thigh and laughed uncontrollably. The canopy of the tree shook overhead, drawing a disgruntled chirp from a small bird. His baby had just been born, and it would be really bad if Wood was dangled from the nest like that.
"Okay, sorry. I'll take notice. Faced with the tenant's dissatisfaction, Wood, who is the landlord and the house itself, apologized in a low voice, and then a branch reached out to the mother bird who was guarding the child, and then, slowly, a small bud appeared, then quickly bloomed and then withered in an instant. Eventually, a cyan fruit appeared on the branch, trembling as if it was about to fall.
"Take it, it's my apology to you. Wood shook the twig in a gentle tone.
And the little bird, which was still chirping just now, was already stunned at the first moment of seeing the fruit. After hearing Wood's words, he shook his head, as if thinking about something. But, in the next second, the little bird made its own decision.
It poked its head out slightly, held the fruit in its mouth with its slender beak, and then gently shrank its head back and plucked it.
Then the little bird turned its head and looked at the young birds in the nest waiting to be fed, as if thinking about something. It then puts the fruit in the mouth of the young bird and feeds it to its own young.
From beginning to end, Li Mo and the others watched the movements of the little bird, until they saw the young bird swallow the fruit in its mouth, and then fell into a deep sleep as if it was full.
Although it is just a little bird without intelligence, it also shows the greatness of maternal love.
"O life. Wood's voice rang out, waking up the people who were deep in thought. Several people raised their heads, and saw that Wood's face was also full of emotion, and what happened to them naturally would not escape Wood's perception: "No matter how weak the life is, they all have their own greatness." ”
However, not every great being ends up being a great person. Wood lowered his head and looked at Joey: "We have intelligence, and the greatest advantage is that we can modify our behavior as our wisdom increases, and we will not become animals who only act on instinct." Do you understand, Joey?"
Joey didn't know why Wood was talking to him at this time, but he nodded, "I see, Grand Sage Wood." ”
"Well, I hope you remember it well. After saying that, Wood turned his gaze back to Li Mo: "Well, John. If it weren't for you appearing in front of me today, I really thought it was a dream. ”
After learning of Li Mo's current name, Wood also began to call him by the name John, and as for the name of the angry sewing chicken, it was forgotten by Wood and Li Momo.
"I don't think I would have believed that a game I was playing was a real world, if I wasn't here right now. Li Mo shrugged his shoulders and said that he felt the same way.
"Hahaha. When I was younger, I was a mischievous tree man. The whole jungle is restless. I don't think the Elders of the Jungle Bear would have thought of this when they saw me go from a normal little tree to a treeman. Wood's laughter was unusually cheerful: "At that time, the people of the tribe died of headaches. ”
"But one day, I don't play around like I used to. Instead, he began to honestly put his roots into the ground like other tree people, and began to work hard to improve his strength. At the time, I thought the druids in the tribe must have been celebrating my upbringing. Saying this, Wood winked mischievously at Li Mo: "However, they never know what I was doing at that time." ”
"What about you in the game then?" Li Mo laughed too, and the people of Jungle Bear thought that when Wood changed his ways, no one knew that he had found a place that suited his personality better.
"Yes, I came to that place one day in my sleep. At first, I was scared of the strange jungle bear, and there was no one I was familiar with. And, no matter who I talk to, they won't answer me. Although they are all alive, they seem to me to be puppets one by one. A puppet without its own consciousness. From Wood's account, Li Mo guessed that it was the days before the game was launched.
"But, no matter how much I hate that place, as soon as I fall asleep, I'll be teleported there, and there's no way to avoid it. Wood recounts the frustration of the game at the beginning: "That boring place was like hell for me. ”
"Until one day, you came. Wood's voice also perked up with these words.
