Chapter Sixty-Seven: The Fooled Crippled Tree Elf
Sea of Trees World.Barren Hill Tribe
Due to the lack of sunlight, gradually walking towards the rotten jungle, a petite and beautiful figure, shuttling lightly among the dead vines and trees, from time to time will dodge poisonous insects with amazing bounce power, and jump to the edge of the forest without stopping.
Ten minutes later, the tree elf trotted out of the woods with a basket on his shoulder.
Her name is Tamar, and she is just over fifteen years old, and she has more energy and agility than the Tree Elves of her age, but she can only be used for moss-gathering work.
That's right, it's moss.
The food shortage of the Barren Hill tribe has lasted for a long time, and the family has never eaten fresh fruit as early as a month ago, and now they can only feed on some non-toxic mosses.
Moreover, the non-toxic moss is now starting to become less and less, and it has been three days since Marta left the house, and the basket in her hand is only half full.
Facing the dark sky, little Tamar sighed, and she didn't know if her mother had eaten in the past few days.
The cave not far ahead is Tamar's home, which used to be very comfortable because the entrance of the cave was facing the sun and far from the earth, but now it is a bit cold and damp.
But it's the same everywhere, even in the chief's cave, there can be no sunlight.
"Mom, I'm back!"
Marta pushed open the hidden wooden door, her delicate little nose suddenly wrinkled, and she clearly smelled a fragrance in the air, which was her favorite fruit!
It can't be that I've been hungry for too long and hallucinating, right?
"Marta, you're finally back. "Mom's voice came from the kitchen, and it sounded like she was in a good mood. She was only before the sun was gone. I've heard voices like this.
"See. This is your favorite tree treasure. As he spoke, a tree elf who resembled Tamar came out of the kitchen, she was not tall, she looked like she had just left the age of a girl, and her eyebrows were as delicate as paintings.
"Is this true?"
Little Marta cheered, picked up the slightly wilted fruit, and took a bite.
"Good boy, eat quickly. Aisha gently stroked her daughter's hair. Watching her gobble up, she smiled very softly.
"Mom, where did you come from?"
Marta chewed violently and asked indistinctly.
"Let's eat first, and then my mother will tell you after eating. ”
......
The tree elf girl immediately stopped chewing vigilantly, with a hint of suspicion, staring at Aisha with big eyes without blinking: "Mom, every time you say this, you must be preparing to lie to me." ”
"You kid......" A hint of embarrassment appeared on the Dryad Beauty's face.
"If you don't sue me, I won't eat. Marta puffed out her cheeks and put down the fruit.
"Don't embarrass mom like this......"
"No, no, no, you have to sue me. ”
Knock knock!
Just as the mother and daughter had a quarrel. At the stalemate, there was a series of knocks outside the door. Recently, the wooden door was pushed open, and a flirtatious voice entered the room:
"Aisha, our account can't be delayed any longer. ”
"Oh no, it's Raymond!"
Marta was so shocked that she dropped the fruit, but instead of being like the other tree elves of her age, she tried her best to spread her young arms and protect her mother behind her.
Raymond, the tree elf, swaggered closer to the house, glancing at little Marta, his eyes brightening brighter:
"Yo, Marta, you're there too?"
"Badass!"
"Bad guy, why didn't you call me a bad guy when you borrowed money from me in the first place? If it weren't for Raymond and my kindness, would you be able to live for seven days as a single mother and daughter?"
"......" Aisha silently lowered her hair.
"Besides, I don't have to forfeit a cent of interest on the debts you owe, how long has this been delayed?" Raymond glanced at the tree treasure fruit in the wooden bowl, and the smile on his face froze:
"That's your mistake, right, you can afford to eat the fruit of the tree, and you don't want to pay off the debt!?"
"I, I'll pay you back. Aisha raised her face and said softly.
"Hurry up! I'll wait. ”
Raymond narrowed his eyes contemptuously, if the mother and daughter could really afford it, they wouldn't borrow it. However, soon, his expression froze on his face, because the destitute tree elf beauty actually brought out a pot of tree fruits.
"Give, give you. ”
Aisha weakly placed the tub at the other party's feet.
How is this possible!
Raymond roared angrily in his heart, he was afraid that the other party would not be able to repay the debt, so he generously donated money, the purpose was to force the mother and daughter to pay in the name of asking for debts in the future.
Now that they can afford to pay off their debts, how can their dream of being a "good father" in the future come true?
No, no, no, there must be something wrong inside! The two of them can't get so many tree fruits in ten years...... Unless...... There is another secret!
"Where did so many trees and fruits come from? Raymond was unwilling to let them go like this, so he planned to make a fuss about the origin of the fruit.
"Mom definitely won't do anything bad!" Marta said unexpectedly, she was actually doubting the origin of so many fruits, but in front of the other party, she must not admit defeat.
"Yes, it was given by the Chief,......" Aisha said with a twinkle in her eyes.
"Chief?"
Raymond's aggressive momentum suddenly lost a lot, as if he had just met the tree elf in front of him, he looked the other party up and down for a while, and then said meaningfully:
"I said why aren't you afraid of me today, it turned out that you were in love with the chief, Aisha, I really misunderstood you...... Is this worthy of your dead husband?"
"I didn't...... There is no ......" Aisha blushed, but hung her head in shame.
"Mom, you won't really ......"
Marta's eyes widened, her thin pink lips pursed, and her little face was full of disbelief.
"Since I have fallen in love with the chief, I don't dare to ask for this debt, so I should give it all to you, Madame. Raymond gave them one last greedy look and left dejectedly.
"It's not like that. You listen to your mother's explanation. ”
Wait until Raymond disappears from sight. Aisha grabbed her daughter's little hand. The tone was hastily explained: "I have nothing to do with the innocence of the leader!"
"Then how did he give us so many things for nothing?"
"Because ......"
Her tone shook, and she only saw that her daughter looked like she was about to cry, so she forcibly said shyly: "Mom is going to the human world, go and be a good girl for them." ”
"The human world!" Tama pricked up a pair of pointed ears, and her delicate face was full of longing.
Since she was a child, she had the impression that humans were evil, powerful, and aggressive demon kings. And the human world is indeed a beautiful and bright paradise full of birds and flowers.
Wait a minute!
The tree elf girl came to her senses in an instant, her mother was going to the human world, wouldn't it fall into the hands of those evil humans?Will they force her mother to marry them like the bad guy Raymond? or even ...... Forcing moms to be their slaves?
"Silly boy, no. ”
Aisha saw through her daughter's thoughts at a glance, and said with a red face:
"I heard from the leader that it is the most powerful tribe of the human race, and it is going to form an alliance with our tree elves. In the future, not only will they not bully us, but they will also help us with food and exchange things with us. ”
"Really?" said Marta, with disbelief on her face.
"Really. The leader also said that as long as we dryads go to help humans fight. and thirty acres of land to each man. It is said that there are also things called salaries and pensions, and if you give them to the chief, you can exchange them for a lot of food. ”
I have to say that the leader of the Dryad tribe is a big black-hearted vampire, and the subsidy of 50,000 soles for each Dryad warrior has become direct aid food in his mouth. can envy the rich salary of ordinary Rossevians, and actually hand it over to him in exchange for food...... Compared to this villain, Raymond was simply Lei Feng just now!
"Aren't all humans badass, why are they so nice to us?" asked the elf innocently.
"Maybe we used to be too savage...... Humans are still very civilized. The Great Beauty of the Dryad said unconfidently, it was obvious that she had embarked on the path of completely denying the history of the Dryad.
"Then what is the Youling that my mother is going to do, and can I get thirty acres of land?"
"It's different, the leader said, as long as we go to sing, dance, and talk to the great human beings, we can get a lot of salaries...... It's the kind of thing that can be exchanged for a lot of food. ”
"There's no land. Tamar's mouth rose in disappointment.
"No, the leader said that as long as we are good and can be welcomed by the humans, he promised to help me exchange land and live in the territory of the human giants. ”
"Land...... The Territory of the Great Men of Mankind ......"
The Tree Elf Girl's eyes were shining, and her thoughts seemed to be back to her childhood...... The fluttering green leaves, the splashing of water on the stream, the moonlight moving in the silhouette of the woods as it moves along, and the chirping of insects and frogs that tug at heartbeat.
The world of a human being must be more beautiful than the woods where I lived when I was a child. So, little Marta quickly made up her mind, held her mother's hand hard, and tried to coquettishly say:
"Mom, I want to be a good girl too. ”
"Really?"
Aisha hugged her daughter with surprise on her face, and cried with joy: "Originally, I was worried that you didn't want to leave your hometown, but it would be great to be able to go with your mother." ”
Two tree elf beauties, one large and one small, snuggled up to each other, looking forward to the future they were about to face.
"Mom, you say, the human world must be beautiful, right?"
"Well, it must be beautiful. ”
"There is endless food, endless spring water, and a lot of beautiful clothes?"
"Well, Mom will change your clothes every day. ”
"Sing, dance, and they will like us?"
"Well, the chief said, in the eyes of humans, we are beautiful. ”
......
The mother and daughter, who were fooled and lame by the leader of the Barren Hill tribe, have completely wandered in the fantasy of the future and the human world, and in their eyes, there is the qiē they want, and there, is the paradise of the tree elves.
As everyone knows, heaven and hell are only a thin line for them. (To be continued......)
