Chai Shien has been a naughty mischievous person since he was a child, his foot strength is excellent, his mind moved, his feet moved, and in a blink of an eye, he was already more than ten meters away from the string arrow. At this moment, an old and powerful voice suddenly came from behind him, calling his name, "Chai Shien!"

"I was wrong, don't ask for my life!" Chai Shien knew that he couldn't run away, so he simply squatted down on the spot with his head in his hands, and begged for mercy repeatedly, "There are eighty old mothers and three-year-old children in my family, and there are seven or eight brothers and sisters in the middle, two or three wives and concubines who need me to support, if I die, how can this big family live!

"Chai Shien, you turn around!" The voice could not hear the joy and anger, which made Chai Shien even more confused. He turned around slowly, and was shocked to find that the companions who were still standing under the tree with him were now gone.

"Wang Shan, Li Ergou, Sun Mazi, you wait for me!" Chai Shien secretly cursed them in his heart for not being righteous, but he had to squeeze out a smile on his face, and moved small steps towards the old locust tree.

"Your parents are only in their 40s, and they have no siblings, let alone a marriage. Chai Shien, you are lying!" The old tree's rough face, its mouth opened and closed, and its movements were not stiff, but a little smart, Chai Shien felt that the way it spoke was a little similar to his deceased grandfather, and he suddenly felt less afraid and more close.

"You're right, yes, it's the juniors who are talking nonsense!" Chai Shien lowered his head, quite ashamed. Although his family was poor, his parents taught him not to lie and to be an honest child since he was a child. It's a pity that Chai Shien doesn't seem to be going in the direction they wanted.

"Knowing that mistakes can be corrected, and good is great. The old tree suddenly smiled at Chai Shien, "Do you know what I am?"

Chai Shien couldn't help but turn sideways slightly, and muttered in a low voice, "Isn't your old man embarrassed me, if I could see it, I wouldn't be standing here!" The old tree was deaf and clear-sighted, so he could naturally hear his words, but he didn't take it to heart, "I'm a tree spirit, let me think about it, it should be more than a thousand years ago, the seeds of the mother tree fell here, and I began to take root and sprout." At that time, the surrounding area was still barren. It took hundreds of years for someone to migrate here, gradually settle down, and have a small Anzhuang!"

It turned out that this was the case, Chai Shien was secretly surprised, originally he thought that the old tree had lived for three or five hundred years, which was long enough, but he didn't expect that it would be as long as a thousand years. He suddenly became curious and asked, "Since you said that you have lived for more than a thousand years, then tell me what Xiao'anzhuang was like more than a thousand years ago, what did the people live on at that time, would they live and cook, weave and tailor?"

Lao Shu patiently answered his questions one by one, "At that time, people had just mastered some skills, and they no longer drank blood, but they simply roasted food over fire. As for the weaving clothes, they still don't, they haphazardly wrap the leaves and animal skins around their bodies to cover them. ”

Chai Shien was a little disappointed when he heard this, in his imagination, a thousand years ago, there should have been all kinds of immortals on the land where he lived. He asked without giving up, "You were originally a tree, but you call yourself a tree spirit, and you can still speak, you must know how to cultivate into an immortal?"

Lao Shu's eyes moved, "Do you want to learn?" Chai Shien pounced at once, bowed his head and bowed, "Master is above, apprentice Chai Shien kowtowed to you!" Old Shu said, "I don't want to accept you as an apprentice, but I have a fate with you in your previous life, and I am here to give you a gift!"

"Gifts?" Chai Shien raised his head, up and down, left and right, carefully looked at the old tree, and saw that he was all over his body, except for those thick branches and green leaves, there was nothing, and he really couldn't imagine what kind of gift it could give himself. Could it be that he shook his whole body and dropped some dry branches to make firewood for himself?

Chai Shien was thinking nonsense, when the old tree suddenly opened its mouth and spit out a fragrant breath, and then a ball of light that was extremely round and emitted a brilliant golden light appeared. Chai Shien was dumbfounded, and his mouth opened involuntarily. The ball of light "slipped" into his mouth, Chai Shien was startled, and hurriedly pinched his throat to spit out the ball of light. God knows what it is, and if it poisons itself.

"Ahem, ahem!" Chai Shien was ruthless, stretched out two fingers and grabbed his throat, but no matter how he tossed, he didn't see the ball of light come out. In desperation, he knelt on the ground and said to Lao Shu with a crying voice, "We have no grievances, your old man also watched me grow up, and I know that our Chai family is a seedling on the ground." My father and mother are already that age, if I die, the Chai family will be extinct!"

"Child, you have misunderstood!" the old tree suddenly decayed at a speed visible to the naked eye, and first the leaves of the tree turned yellow and fell one after another. Immediately after that, countless branches withered and shriveled, and even its voice was much weaker, "What I gave you to eat is the essence that I have cultivated for thousands of years, and it can help you." Xiaoanzhuang is not the place you should stay, go to Baozhou City, there are people waiting for you. Remember, remember!"

The voice grew faint until it was inaudible. Chai Shien was stunned, he couldn't fully believe Lao Shu's words, and he didn't believe it at all. After all, this old locust tree, which had been at the entrance of the village since he could remember, was alive and gone, and it was gone in front of him. Once it is known by the people of Xiaoanzhuang, it is said that it will be beaten by stink.

Thinking of this, Chai Shien ran home as if he was dying. When he appeared at home out of breath, Chai Shien's mother, who was pasting cakes in the iron pot, was startled by him, "You rabbit cub, why did you come back so early, and the meal is not good!"

"Mother, it's a big deal, I, I'm in trouble!" Chai Shien trembled like chaff, and his standing was unstable.

"Say, whose kid did you beat again, or did you knock down someone's firewood stack?" Chai Shien's mother had long been accustomed to her son's "bad deeds", wiped her hands on her apron, turned to look at her son, and was startled again, "You, what's wrong with you, don't be afraid, what's wrong, tell your mother!"

Chai Shien wiped his face and didn't know if it was sweat or tears, and told him what had happened, "Originally, we were playing under the old locust tree at the head of the village, but I didn't expect the old tree to suddenly speak, and then spit out a golden thing." After I ate it, the old tree withered and died!"
