It was a little boy who was only about two years old. Deep in his large, watery eyes, there was a blue-purple light that was unique to babies. He was extremely beautiful.
His entire body was chubby, but he was not particularly fat. He gave off the feeling of a cute baby fat.
If the child of a water elementalist and I were to be born and raised to this age, wouldn't it also be this cute?
Thinking of this, my heart softened. I walked over, squatted down, and waved at him."Baby, come here. What are you doing?”
When he saw me reaching out to him, he quickly hid behind a tree. After a while, he peeked at me and smiled."Hehehe, Baby, Mommy, Cangcang.”
I couldn't help but reach out to hug him." Baby, are you playing hide-and-seek with Mommy?”
He nodded.
I looked around. There were several families in front of me. I didn't know whose children they were. His parents were really too careless. What if they were kidnapped by bad people?
"Baby, where is your home? Auntie will send you home, okay? Don't run around alone next time.”I thought that when I saw that family later, I would have to nag them. However, the child's next sentence scared me half to death."I didn't run. Mommy, it's here."
I bought a watch last year!
What do you mean, baby?
I was so scared that I broke out in a cold sweat. Under this big locust tree, other than me and this child, there's no one else!
She hugged the child tightly and leaned against the tree. She was in a defensive position and was on guard against her surroundings in fear. I desperately shouted the water elementalist's name in my heart."Honey, come back quickly. Otherwise, your wife will die before the third mission is completed.”
Swoosh.
A gust of wind blew past, causing the leaves to rustle, as if countless ghosts were whispering in his ears.
The baby didn't feel scared at all. He clapped his hands happily and wriggled in my arms with a smile. He wanted to get down. I was so scared that my limbs went weak. How could I still hug this slippery loach? In an instant, he slipped onto the ground.
He jumped onto the tree happily and shouted,""Mommy, Mommy!"
A drop of sweat slid down my forehead. Child, this is a tree, okay? On second thought, children would not call a tree their mother for no reason. There must be a reason behind this!
I, Di Renjie, went around the tree.
He looked left and right. Other than this tree that looked strong, its leaves were actually starting to wither. In the middle of the tree, there was also a tree that had died. He did not see anything unusual.
Unwilling to give up, I knocked on the tree trunk.
In A Chinese Ghost Story, the Witch of the Black Mountain was originally a locust tree. There were many ashes buried under its roots, trapping the dead souls in the book and being controlled by it.
I'm not worried that anyone in Lushui Village would bury someone under the locust tree. She was worried that it would be like the ghost stories, where someone saw that the tree was thick and strong, so they buried the person in the tree and turned him into a vengeful spirit.
Clack clack.
From the sound of the knocking, I could tell that the heart of the tree was solid. He was even more puzzled. What was going on?
Just as he was feeling puzzled, he suddenly heard a low cry coming from the tree."Please, save my child.”
"There's a ghost!"
I screamed and grabbed the child's hand before running out. Water elementalists! Help!"
The child in my arms also seemed to be frightened by me. He kicked me desperately and cried,"Mommy! Mommy!"
The farmers along the way heard the cries and poked their heads out of the door, looking at me with a strange expression. Some even took out hoes and shovels from their homes and looked at me eagerly.
I silently cried in my heart. My fellow villagers, I'm saving this child, not kidnapping him! Don't hit me!
"Diu Diu!"
A familiar voice came from behind me.
I turned around and saw a water elementalist dressed in a black robe standing at the entrance of a farmhouse. Behind him, the family looked at me curiously and in surprise.
I immediately turned around happily and ran towards the water elementalist."Hubby, yayayaya…"
"Diu Diu, why are you running with a dead tree?" The water elementalist frowned.”
What?
I stopped running and looked down at my chest. Only then did he realize that the baby's cries had stopped long ago. The chubby child in his arms had also turned into a withered tree with roots. Looking at the branches and leaves, it looked like a locust tree.
My hand trembled and I immediately threw the sapling out. When the small tree landed on the ground, I seemed to hear an "Aiyo" sound.
I trembled as I looked at the water elementalist. My heart was filled with fear.
The water elementalist immediately understood that something must have happened to me. He ran over and pulled me into his embrace. Again and again, he gently patted my back."It's okay, it's okay."
After a while, I calmed down.
He told the water elementalist about the whole situation. The water elementalist thought for a while and told me that he had asked around the village for a long time but didn't find any family with infant spirits.
"It seems that Boss Zhao's last condition is not referring to the person, but the old locust tree at the village entrance and the locust tree's child.”He reached out to pick up the tree and put it in his sleeve. Then he held my hand and said to me," Let's go and take a look.”
I gathered my courage and followed him back to the tree. Some of the villagers wanted to go with us to watch the show, but after being coldly glanced at by the water elementalist, they all retreated to their own courtyards.
When I walked in front of the locust tree, the small tree in my arms trembled. A fleshy feeling appeared in my arms.
Immediately after, I felt two calves kick me. The cute baby I saw earlier rolled off my body. He ran towards the old locust tree while crying.
He looked like he had just fallen down. His face was covered in dust and his body was covered in bruises. He hugged the old locust tree and cried sadly. He even complained in a gibberish. From time to time, he would turn around and glare at me angrily. He would point at me and shout,"Bad! Bad!"
I pointed at it. The little thing was probably still angry. It grabbed a handful of soil and ran over to throw it at me.
I've seen too many evil spirits. If I didn't know that he was an infant spirit, I would definitely be so adorable that I would immediately kneel down and surrender.
The water elementalist was very nervous and made a hand seal.
This time, he had poked a hornet's nest, and a strong wind blew under the old locust tree.
The leaves were blown off, forming a green human figure in the wind. She knelt down towards us and cried,"Please, don't hurt my child. It was my fault. I harmed my child.”
It turned out that this tree had cultivated for more than 1,500 years. He had long become a tree demon. It was just that she was not talented and was born dull.
Seeing that the people in the village had their own families, the Locust Tree Demon hoped that he could have his own family. However, no matter how many tree seeds she scattered, there was no longer a locust tree demon like her.
After an unknown number of years, a gust of wind brought a locust tree seed from afar and it happened to fall into the pothole on her body. After a day of spring rain, that tree seed actually sprouted a tender sprout.
This made the locust tree demon extremely happy. Because the small tree was stuck in her body, it was connected to her blood vessels. Therefore, she circulated her cultivation every day and used her cultivation to urge the small tree to grow.#
