A Tree's Life as a Cultivator

Chapter 68
Lin Xiaoya had such a dream after falling asleep.

Ten years ago, a meteorite fell and a monstrous flood submerged her hometown. Fortunately, Lin Xiaoya's family had a dilapidated wooden boat. Lin Xiaoya's family barely survived, only her younger brother fell into the water and died.

Lin's father and Lin's mother struggled to survive on a dilapidated wooden boat, and after luckily finding a high ground, they joined the survivors' alliance formed by living humans.

Lin Xiaoya, who is only five or six years old, lives in the alliance like this. Due to the large number of people and the lack of food, Lin's father and Lin's mother have to go out early and return late to find food. Lin Xiaoya can only stay alone in the kindergarten established by the alliance. .

In the past ten years, the flood has not receded, but gradually increased year by year. Therefore, the highland where Lin Xiaoya lives is also decreasing year by year, and their living environment is getting worse and worse.

Lin's father and Lin's mother are also looking for less and less food. They only need to eat for themselves and their children. Therefore, Lin Xiaoya, who is twelve or thirteen years old, is extremely thin. From the outside, she looks only eight or nine years old.

Suddenly one day, Lin Xiaoya could no longer wait for her parents to arrive from the nursing home at the base. At this moment, she knew clearly that she had no parents.

Lin Xiaoya was forcibly kicked out of the nursing home, and wandered alone in the base, snatching food from the homeless, and went fishing with the children, but most of the time she was hungry, her eyes glowed, and her eyes stared fiercely. looking at everything around.

Finally one day, Lin Xiaoya was so hungry that she couldn't walk, she knew her time had come, and she didn't want to be eaten after she died.

Therefore, Lin Xiaoya embarked on an unknown journey alone on the rotten wooden boat left by her father.

When Lin Xiaoya came to a remote and uninhabited water surface, she pulled up her last bit of strength and jumped off the rotten wooden boat.

Just when she thought she was going to die, a huge whale appeared in front of her eyes and carried her to an unknown direction.

When Lin Xiaoya opened her eyes again, she was surprised to find that she was standing in her hometown, a remote mountain village under a second-tier city.

On the big stone pier at the entrance of the village, sitting her ten-year-old brother, the feeling of strangeness and familiarity made her heart surge.

As for why this strange and familiar little boy is his younger brother, it is entirely because Mother Lin wants to take out a photo, point to the little boy on it and say that he is his father. If the younger brother is still there, he may look exactly like his father.

Lin Xiaoya looked at her younger brother affectionately, as if he had recognized her a long time ago, he rushed forward enthusiastically and hugged her.

Then he enthusiastically pulled Lin Xiaoya towards his home.During this period, Lin Xiaoya also saw countless old folks whom she knew before.

When she came to her hometown, Lin Xiaoya saw her parents, whom she had been looking forward to for a long time, looking at her with smiling faces, as if they knew she would come.

Lin Xiaoya threw herself into the arms of her parents with great excitement.Great, our family is finally reunited, even if it is a dream after my death, I am content.

However, when Lin Xiaoya was sitting at the dining table and was about to have a big meal, she saw Lin's father and Lin's mother bringing several fresh fish and beckoning her to eat.

Lin Xiaoya looked at the extremely fresh fish and couldn't eat it for a while.I saw my younger brother skillfully picked up a fish and began to gnaw on the fish. The blood of the fish spread around with the water flow.

Lin Xiaoya slumped on the stool in amazement for a moment. She looked around and was surprised to find that she was living in the water now.

Seeing Lin Xiaoya's surprised appearance, Lin's father and Lin's mother suddenly remembered that they hadn't told Lin Xiaoya that what happened now was not a dream.

Lin's father and Lin's mother looked at each other, and Lin's mother decided to tell her daughter everything here.So, Mother Lin took Lin Xiaoya to the kitchen and told her the truth.

It turned out that a year ago, Lin's father and Lin's mother encountered an accident while fishing, and the boat capsized accidentally, and they both died.

Just when they thought they had no place to bury themselves, under the guidance of a whale, Father Lin and Mother Lin returned to their housekeeper and saw their son who was raised by the villagers.

Lin's father, Lin's mother and the others also thought this was a dream after their death, but as they lived here longer, they knew it was not a dream.

Because Lin's father and Lin's mother were surprised to find that there were fish gills growing on their cheeks, so that they could breathe the oxygen in the air and live normally.

As she said that, Lin Xiaoya saw several fish gill-like openings suddenly opened on the side of Mother Lin's cheeks, and she couldn't help but take a few steps back in surprise.

Seeing that Lin Xiaoya was so scared, Mother Lin didn't take it to heart, and continued to explain to her that Lin Xiaoya also had fish gills that lived in the water like them, otherwise she wouldn't have come here.

Lin Xiaoya heard that she also had gills, touched her cheeks suspiciously, and found that there were so-called openings, so she stopped making a fuss.

Then Lin's mother continued to explain that after they knew that this change had happened to them, they didn't understand what happened, so they had to find the answer secretly.

But Lin's father and Lin's mother were still very worried about their daughter in the base nursing home. If they didn't hand over the ration of food, their daughter might be kicked out and taken away to make food for them.

Lin's father and Lin's mother originally thought that they could swim in the water with gills, but they were surprised to find that gills can only help them breathe underwater. Whether they can swim like ordinary small fish? It is the same as living in the air before, without any special functions.

But now the bottom of the sea has been destroyed by the impact of meteorites to the extent you can imagine. If Lin's father and Lin's mother want to walk across the bottom of the sea to find their precious daughter, they can only move forward by crossing the abyss at the east end of the village.

Therefore, Lin's father and Lin's mother were powerless and could only wait quietly for the village to hope that their daughter would die in the water instead of being eaten alive.

Because during this period, Lin's father and Lin's mother were surprised to find that they could still live after dying in the water. If they were eaten by someone, there would really be no bones left.

Because half a year ago, a villager's daughter-in-law suddenly appeared at the gate of the village. She cried and said that her newborn daughter was eaten by her husband, and she committed suicide by jumping into the sea.

However, she survived, but her poor daughter died without a place to bury her. Therefore, the villager knew his son's inhuman behavior, so he had to take the crazy woman back to his home to take care of him.

When the other people in the house heard what the villager's son had done, they all despised the villager. How could he teach such a son?

　I had a strange dream last night, so I wrote it down!
