Chapter 2: The Tree of Life

"Ye Wushuang!"

A shrill cry of anger and hatred came from afar.

Ye Wushuang rubbed her devastated ears and looked at Bai Zixuan, who was coming with a fierce momentum, and behind her there were her brother and a group of subordinates.

How did she get out of the river? This is the rhythm of the teacher's questioning.

Ye Wushuang thought about it in his heart: No, the thirty-six plan is the upper plan, I'll go and hide somewhere else first.

Then he rushed into the lake in a lunge in the eyes of everyone, the water was already muddy due to the riots of the previous night, and there were many red carp floating on the shore.

Bai Zixuan saw Ye Wushuang jumping into the lake, and she didn't know what was going on at first, but after thinking about it, she knew that it was not good, and hurriedly shouted: "Catch him quickly, he wants to escape." ”

At that moment, several of her subordinates were ordered to jump into the lake.

"Wait. At this time, a middle-aged man with extraordinary looks came over and stopped him.

He explained to Bai Zixuan and Bai Zixuan, brother and sister: "This lake extends in all directions, and it is the place where all the rivers around Siye City converge, and you will never catch him again if he jumps down." ”

"Who are you?" Bai Zixuan asked arrogantly.

"I am Ye Wushuang's father. Qin Shiming replied politely.

"Father? Hmph, if there is a father, there must be a son. Bai Zixuan reprimanded.

"Zixuan!" Bai Zixuan hurriedly stretched out his hand to pull his sister aside, and bowed to Qin Shiming.

"Shibo, please forgive my sister for being unreasonable. ”

"It doesn't matter. You are in such a hurry to find Wushuang, could it be that he did something to annoy the two of you?" Qin Shiming asked.

As soon as she heard this, Bai Zixuan became angry, ripped off Bai Zixuan's hand and walked out.

"I'm going to find Aunt Ye, I want her to teach Ye Wushuang a good lesson. ”

Seeing his sister leave in a menacing manner, Bai Zixuan saluted Qin Shiming and hurriedly followed, he didn't worry that his sister was talking nonsense in front of Aunt Ye.

Qin Shiming always had a hint of a smile from the beginning, and after everyone left, not only did the smile not disappear, but became more and more obvious.

"Everyone is gone, you can sue again. After saying that, he turned around and left.

Deep in a dense forest in the southeast of Clover Castle, there is a waterhole, and the water is crystal clear.

At noon, the sun was shining, and the dense forest was full of insects and birds.

Ye Wushuang leaned out of the pool water, and the clear pool water slipped from him.

"Suffocate me. He said a word when he came out of the pool.

Then he lay down on the ground at the edge of the pool, gasping for air.

For Ye Wushuang, who is usually tired of cultivating, holding it in one breath is already the limit of the limit, and it is not enough to have a little more time.

"Really, I really can't figure it out, how could she come out so quickly, Yuan, originally planned to let her stay in the water for three days and three nights. Ye Wushuang said while lying on the ground.

"I definitely can't go back now, so take this opportunity to go outside for a while. Ye Wushuang rested enough, stood up and said.

As soon as he lifted his foot and walked a few steps, he fell to the ground with a thud. Ye Wushuang turned over and saw a person lying at his feet, dying.

This scene really scared him, it turned out that he had never noticed that there was a person lying not far from where he was lying.

Ye Wushuang hurriedly approached to take a closer look, the person lying on the ground had an even breath, but his lips were dry, and then looked at the traces of dragging on this ground, he must have been injured. Looking at this person again, it was as if he had just come out of a bath in the mud, covered in crumpled dark black mud.

Ye Wushuang slapped the man's face and said, "Hey, wake up." ”

"Water, water. ”

Ye Wushuang pricked up his ears before he finally heard what she said clearly, it turned out that he wanted to drink water!

"You're lucky to have met me. ”

Ye Wushuang scooped water from the pool and held it in the palm of his hand, dripping it in the other party's mouth little by little.

The man seemed to feel the moisture of the water, and his mouth opened instinctively.

"Don't worry, there's more. Ye Wushuang went to scoop up the water again, and after three or four trips back and forth, he simply carried the person to the edge of the pool and let her drink directly from the pool.

As soon as the man's mouth touched the pool water, he made a gurgling sound of drinking water, and Ye Wushuang didn't feel anything at first, but a quarter of an hour passed, two quarters of an hour passed, and an hour passed......

She's still drinking.

"Hey, are you going to drink all the water in the pool?" Ye Wushuang stopped it a few times before, but then he got used to it, the water level of the pool was originally full, but the water level had dropped by more than a foot, and this was still replenished by underground living water.

Ye Wushuang had been sitting here bored for more than an hour, watching others drink water.

Looking at it, Ye Wushuang's stomach suddenly made a strange sound.

"It's a strange story to watch others drink water and make them hungry. ”

Just when Ye Wushuang was hesitating whether to go and get some game to come back to satisfy his hunger, there was a bang, and the person by the pond plunged into it.

"Oh my God. Ye Wushuang was startled and jumped into the pool.

The pool was clear and transparent, and he went downstream, only to see a naked body appear in front of him, and all the shreds and mud on her body were washed away by water, and her original muddy face was also washed away.

Ye Wushuang forgot what to do, and as the body went all the way down, his eyes looked straight at the most beautiful scenery he had ever seen in his life.

........................

"Are you awake?"

At night, the stars are shining, and a bonfire burns in the forest, and a roasted wild animal is set up on the bonfire.

The dragon woke up, covered in comfortable clothes, and when she opened her eyes, she found herself lying on a thick haystack. She rolled her eyes to find the source of the sound, and a tall, thin figure approached half-naked with a bundle of firewood on his back.

Long Er sat up with difficulty, and the soreness of her limbs came immediately, and just as she was about to lie down again weakly, her back was gently propped up.

"Are you hungry, eat something?" Ye Wushuang asked shyly, and handed over the meat on the shelf a little afraid to look into the other party's eyes.

Long Er took the food, put it in her mouth and chewed it despite the hot heat, the meat entered her body with the gravy, and she felt her whole body begin to come to life.

"Is there anything else?" asked Long Er with some embarrassment.

"Yes, yes. Ye Wushuang hurriedly cut the cooked meat on the shelf with a sharp knife and handed it to Long Er all the time.

In the firelight, the two of them ate their food silently.

Ye Wushuang was the first to ask, "What's your name?"

This was an extremely simple question, but Long'er seemed to think about it for a long time, and said with some embarrassment: "My name is Long'er." ”

"Long'er~ Then what's your last name?" Ye Wushuang asked.

"I don't have a surname, I'm called Long'er. ”

"Oh. ”

There was silence again, except for the crackling of firewood as it burned.

"Then how did you end up here?"

"Me?"

"yes, it's deserted. ”

Long Er moved her body, the clothes on her body clinging to her body, bowed her head and stopped talking.

"Okay, I'll go find some firewood, you can sleep first. Saying that, Ye Wushuang stepped into the night.

Long'er looked at his hazy back in the dark night, and silently thought about her father's advice to her: Don't trust others easily.

One night to dawn.

"Where are you going next?" Ye Wushuang asked.

"Flame City. Long Er replied.

"It's such a coincidence that I'm going there too. What are you doing there?" Ye Wushuang said without lying.

"My father told me to go there and do something. ”

"In that case, let's go together!"

..............................

Clover City.

As soon as Bai Zixuan and her brother Bai Zixuan saw Ye Xiaoling, Bai Zixuan was about to sue, but was taken by Ye Xiaoling to a certain place-the source of life.

The world where the tree of life grows.

Ye Xiaoling, Bai Zixuan, and Bai Zixuan came to a large shade of trees, the sky was blue without a trace of clouds, and there was lush green grass under their feet.

Ye Xiaoling pointed to the Tree of Life, which was hundreds of feet wide and towering into the sky, and said, "Yesterday, someone sneaked into the source of life and stole the fruit of life. ”

Bai Zixuan and Bai Zixuan were shocked at the same time.

"The fruit of life blossoms and bears fruit in a definite quantity, the glazed fruit was accidentally discovered by my father fifty years ago, and twenty years ago I promised your father to give it to him, and now I am afraid that I will break the contract. ”

"Aunt Ye, what do you mean?" Bai Zixuan said.

"Look. Ye Xiaoling stretched out his hand, and there was a transparent fruit in his hand that had been eaten and only the kernels were left.

"This~" Bai Zixuan couldn't believe it.

"Aunt Ye, what's going on?" Bai Zixuan on the side stepped forward and asked.

"In short, I broke my trust, your father caused a lot of damage to his muscles, veins, qi and blood in order to save me twenty years ago, and only this glass fruit can restore him to his original state. In the past 20 years, I have been looking forward to its rapid maturity, and I never imagined that this would be the end result. Ye Xiaoling said.

Bai Zixuan and Bai Zixuan glanced at each other, and they couldn't say a word in their hearts.

"Who stole this fruit?" Bai Zixuan asked.

"I don't know, but it must have something to do with that monster last night. ”

"Then Aunt Ye, can you bear to let my brother and I run back empty-handed?" Bai Zixuan took Ye Xiaoling's hand and said coquettishly.

Ye Xiaoling smiled and scratched Bai Zixuan's nose, and came to the tree alone, and there was a silver-white thin tube in his left hand at some point. She inserted a thin tube into the trunk of the tree, leaving only a small section outside.

After a while, a white liquid began to flow out of the mouth of the silver-white tube, and Ye Xiaoling continued with a jade-colored bottle.

Bai Zixuan and Bai Zixuan were both dumbfounded.

After Ye Xiaoling took everything, he pulled out the thin tube and came to Bai Zixuan's brother and sister with the bottle.

"Take this and get back to the city as soon as possible. ”

"Aunt Ye, this~"

"Don't say more, be careful along the way. ”

"Yes. ”

Ye Xiaoling waved his hand, and the two Bai Zixuan brothers and sisters disappeared in place.

After the two of them left, a person suddenly flashed behind the tree, it was Ye Xiaoling's husband Qin Shiming.

Qin Shiming looked at Ye Xiaoling and said, "The sap of the Tree of Life is so precious, you actually gave it away so easily. ”

"What, jealous?"

"How can I be, your husband, am I such a cautious person? I just want to say that the damage to the tree of life will be too great. ”

"You're in charge, I'm in charge of this place now. ”

After speaking, Ye Xiaoling left with a high spirit.

"What a loser. Qin Shiming looked at the towering trees that were still flourishing and said.
