Chapter Forty-Eight: Spring Sprouts

Dabao is the name given to the golden snub-nosed monkey by Spring Buds, and they found it under that very large banyan tree, which is like a fantasy place.

When she came to the mountains, she would be followed by a very large bird, and at noon the big bird would bring some prey to them.

Listening to the little boy, it was his brother Songzi's pet called Ah Qi, and when he talked about Brother Songzi, the little boy was also proud.

The boy is the grandson of the head of Xiaoyang Village, and I heard that he came to the mountains with her to be that man's apprentice.

That person is an insect master, and the middle-aged man told her that it is a very special profession, and she must study hard and work diligently, if she can become an insect master in the future, maybe she will be able to rebuild their Changshu Village.

She didn't know why she could rebuild the village by becoming an insect master, but she knew that the boy in the mouth of Brother Songzi knew a lot, and he had the same ability as the Divine Tree.

After staying for a few days, Chunya also learned something from Ah Ping's mouth, knowing that the back mountain is where Xue Song lives, Ah Ping took her to be, there is a big tree that covers the sky and the sun, there are many light balls around, and there are some crops around, she doesn't know what kind of plants those are, she can only see that those crops emit a faint light, and from time to time there are light balls hanging in the middle of the field, sprinkling a piece of light powder.

It was the same place as the fairyland in the story, where she saw Dabao, a small monkey, shuttling between the trees, shining golden in the sun.

When she saw the golden monkey, Chunya didn't know why she felt extremely kind, and the monkey also ran to the cottage where they lived from time to time to play, very well-behaved, especially like a child, so she and Ah Ping named it Dabao.

Xue Song also told Chunya that the reason why she saw this monkey was because the seeds that were attached to her body were transferred to the monkey by Xue Song, and Dabao was the new sacred tree.

A few months ago,

"When you step into the world of worms, you can't come back."

The little girl pursed her lips and thought about what the strange man had said, a little uneasy, and after attending the village banquet in the evening, the middle-aged man took her to the village chief's house.

In the house, the village chief and the man who told the story were sitting in front of the hall drinking tea, and the middle-aged man took her to the house to greet the two and sat down.

"Oh, Da Yang, here, I asked you to come here because I wanted to ask you something, and I didn't disturb your rest, right?" Ding De took a sip of tea and said to the middle-aged man and the little girl, Xue Song asked him to know about the little girl, and he thought of the middle-aged man, when he first came over, it was the middle-aged man who took the lead, and he must know something.

"No, no, the village chief will say hello if he has something." The man hurriedly waved his hand, the village was gone, and it was always under the fence to stay in someone else's village when he fled, the man said flatteringly.

"Oh, it's actually nothing, this is the insect master in our village, and he is a little curious about the sacred tree in your village and wants to know about it." Ding De pointed to Xue Song who was sitting on the side and introduced, he got up and poured a cup of hot tea for the two, said hello to Xue Song and went out, there was a lot of noise outside, accompanied by the sound of scolding, thinking about which man was drunk and making trouble, he was going to deal with it.

Nodding, Xue Song looked at the little girl in front of him who was a little timid, smiled, and beckoned her to come over.

The girl looked at Xue Song and then looked back at the middle-aged man, the two little hands were clasped, and they slowly moved in front of Xue Song.

"It's okay, don't be afraid, what's your name?" Xue Song squatted down and touched the girl's hair and said with a smile, he held the girl's hands, and under the operation of spiritual power, he also understood the girl's physical condition.

"Spring... Spring buds..."The girl looked at Xue Song's smiling face and slowly relaxed, she stammered her name a little, she hadn't communicated with people for a long time, since last autumn her body began to grow grass, it didn't hurt to pull it out, she tried a lot of earthwork and didn't succeed, she could only wear thick clothes to cover herself, and she didn't dare to contact others when she came to a new village, for fear of being regarded as a monster.

Lifting the sleeves of the spring buds, Xue Song looked at the green leaves on the girl's body and was a little puzzled, just now he used his spiritual power to investigate, and found that the growth of the plant avoided all the key points of the girl and took root in the little girl's muscles.

These plants have a faint insect breath, but they don't react much to Xue Song's spiritual power, it stands to reason that this is unlikely, Xue Song's spiritual power is pure life energy, which is basically similar to the light vein, and the insect should be extremely active when it comes into contact with his spiritual power.

"When did these first come in?" Xue Song picked a leaf and held it in his hand, after leaving the girl's body, this leaf was no different from an ordinary plant, which made him even more curious, he had never heard of insects!

"My lord, it started last autumn," replied the middle-aged man on one side, who had been hit by a locust plague in the village last autumn and had basically no harvest, and the villagers had gathered under the sacred tree to pray for protection.

That night, the sacred tree continued to bear fruit, and the village survived the autumn and winter with the little food stored at home and the fruit of the sacred tree.

At first, all the people who ate the fruit of the sacred tree grew more or less plants, but after a few days they gradually withered and disappeared, only the plants on the little girl's spring buds have not faded, and after trying many methods to no avail, the people in the village gradually began to say that this is the blessing of the sacred tree, a miracle.

The villagers built a thatched hall next to the sacred tree, so that Chunya could stay near the sacred tree all the time and let her serve the sacred tree.

"Oh! And what's going on? The sacred tree bears fruit and allows you to survive the autumn and winter, so why did the village disperse later? Xue Song raised his head as he listened to the middle-aged man's words.

A tree that can grant wishes? Creation is amazing! Xue Song couldn't help but sigh.

"This..."The man was still a little shocked when he remembered the scene at that time, how small human beings were in the face of disasters.

Towards the beginning of winter, a sudden landslide made it impossible for the village to continue, and most of the sacred trees were buried.

The capable people are gone, and they went to other places to join their relatives, and there are not many people left, under the leadership of the middle-aged man, who wanted to rebuild their homes, but Changshu Village seemed to have become a cursed place, the stream was red, the animals in the mountains and forests kept running, and the trees began to wither gradually, there was no way, he could only take the few remaining people and start wandering.

The little girl was also one of them, and followed the middle-aged man to the foot of Yinyang Mountain.

"Hmm... Understood..."Xue Song touched his chin and nodded, and then he plucked the plant seeds from the girl's body with spiritual power and fed her some spirit wine.

Watching the entwined plants on her body subside, Spring Bud couldn't help but feel a little excited, so that she could play with the children normally.

Let the middle-aged man take care of the little girl, and ask him to come to him again if he has something, Xue Song went out to the mountain, he wanted to send a letter to ask the Hunter family if there was a record of similar insects, and by the way, write a letter to Yingu to see if he had the impression of this kind of worm.
