The other three went to the other side to fetch water.

Di Ying sat down honestly, took the cake and started nibbling.

His eyelids drooped, but his ears didn't miss the slightest movement around him.

Now, he didn't have the slightest chance of escaping. just wanted to borrow urine to escape, and everyone followed him.

And for the geographical environment here, people are obviously much more familiar with it than him.

After eating and drinking, the four people lay directly on the grass around Di Ying.

At the end of March and the beginning of April, the nights were still cold.

Those few people have been practicing martial arts since childhood, and they only feel cool.

Only Di Ying was a weak scholar, wrapped in the official robe that he hadn't had time to change, curled up on the ground and shivering.

However, when those people saw that he was really weak to such a point, they relaxed their vigilance against him.

The strings in Di Ying's heart have been tightened.

These people did not set up tents, nor drilled caves, nor even laid blankets or mattresses, nor did they bring them, so they sat like savages, which virtually reduced the chances of his escape.

What to do?

He rolled over, lay flat, put his hands on his arms, and began to tell a little story to himself.

"Look at these mountains and forests, wherever they are, there are weeds, shrubs, trees, and all kinds of rattans.

Don't think they're inconspicuous, and don't think they're just going to be long. They are all complementary to each other.

Big trees attract small birds to roost, and small birds pass their droppings for weeds to grow. The shrubs also provide a shelter for the wild beasts in the forest to roost and ambush.

Large trees can also make the rattan cling, so that they can climb tall, stretch, and receive sunlight and rain.

There is a big tree, fortunately, there are no taller and thicker trees around, and there is an abundance of water underground.

It tried to grow and grow.

The weeds and shrubs around it are also very vigorous.

Of course, there are rattans, too.

The big tree nourishes these little friends who are born to it in its own way.

However, some shrubs are very disobedient and actually grab water and nutrients from it.

The trees got angry and tried to kill them.

But it has no hands or feet of its own, so how can it kill them?

Big Tree thought about it, and finally decided to send those rattans out.

It said to the rattans: 'You must obey my commands when you live by me.' You have to do what I tell you to do.

But if you are not obedient, I will not provide you with nourishment, nor will I let you get sun, and I will let you die and die alive. ’

When the rattans heard this, they were afraid.

They are attached to the tree wholeheartedly, and if the tree ignores them, they really can't live.

So, they took the order of the big tree and began to wrap around the shrubs.

Entangle and strangle the trunks of those shrubs one by one.

Looking at the results of the rattans, the big tree was satisfied.

But it didn't take long for it to look at the low trees around it again.

This one, it just wants to keep itself alive. It doesn't want to see any of the other things that are eyesore.

It always felt that the trees next to it were eyeing it, and they wanted to rob it of its nutrients all the time.

Because of this thought, the big tree feels that it is not good to eat and sleep.

Then it sent out rattans and attacked the little trees.

In this way, it emptied the shrubs, the small trees, and finally even the weeds.

For a reason they don't even know, the rattans have been helping the tree and being its sharpest accomplices.

They are accustomed to listening to orders and doing things according to orders, and they just feel that this is the only way to live.

But they forget that they have roots, branches, and leaves.

Until one day, because there is only such a big tree around it, when there is heavy rain in the sky, thunder and lightning, nothing can bear for this big tree.

Very thick and thick lightning struck the body of this tree.

The tree was frightened, frightened, terrified.

It desperately ordered the rattans to meet the thunder and lightning, to help it share the burden.

The dazed rattans instinctively accepted it.

They......

One by one, the earth fell to the thunder and lightning.

In the end, the tree used up all the rattans on its body, and could not escape the fate of the thunderbolt, and the tree was burned with a raging fire, and it was burned to the point of 'crackling'.

At this time, all the rattans and roots were still alive, but they were still stupidly attached to the body of the tree.

They feel that when the tree is dead, they will not be able to live.

That's what the tree has always told them.

What they didn't notice was a small rattan slowly retracting into the soil. Left the tree.

After the tree was burned to death, a rain fell from the sky, and the little vine quietly poked his head out.

It looked at its companions, who had also been burned to ashes, with some bewilderment, and asked in a whisper in the most childish voice: 'Why can't we live by ourselves, if we have roots of our own?' ’

It felt that the gratitude it should have been repaid, that they had already been repaid, that the tree was gone, and that it could live on its own.

After that, it bravely plunged its roots deep into the ground, and as it grew, it clinged to the rocks and was no longer used by anyone.

You can also soak up the sunshine and rain to your heart's content, and you can also stretch out to the place you yearn for.

Still, it hasn't forgotten about the shrubs and weeds.

He used his soft and tenacious ability to migrate grass seeds, tree seeds, and so on from other places and plant them in this revitalized soil.

Being born as a grass, a tree, and a vine is involuntary.

But what you want to look like, I think, you can decide for yourself. ”

After Di Ying finished speaking, she withdrew her hand, folded it in front of her abdomen, closed her eyes, and prepared to sleep.

Soon after, he heard a soft sigh in the breeze blowing through the hollows.

……

And the other side. A figure stumbled and fled into the western foot of Taihang Mountain.

Behind him, more than a dozen black shadows chased after the man.

Peng Liang, the personal guard of Zhang Yufu, the secretary of the ministry.

When Zhang Yufu was attacked on his patrol, he sacrificed his life to protect him, but he was abandoned to the side of the road due to serious injuries.

He was later rescued.

When the injury is slight, turn around and report to Zhang Yufu as soon as possible.

Who knows, Zhang Yufu has long thought that he is dead.

In order to avoid future troubles, Peng Liang's family has been slaughtered.

17-year-old Peng Liang didn't know it yet.

Because of his guard duties, he went to find Zhang Yufu first.

And the other party knew that he was back, so they wanted to kill him.

It wasn't until he heard his colleagues quietly tell him that all his doors had been wiped out, that Peng Liang got up, tried his best to escape, and fled all the way to Luzhou.

The wounded will be healed, and he was discovered by the pursuers, so he fled into Taihang Mountain.

Now, with old injuries and new marks, Peng Liang is exhausted.
