Chapter 142 The Tree's Story
Since the rebellion flag was raised, the people of Yizhou were actually a little worried.

Although they nominally voted for the hero who killed the villain, the hero's attitude made them hesitant - although the hero did not leave Yizhou City, the other party showed no intention to rule them. .

This made the people of Yizhou City a little confused, especially the powerful people, who were even more undecided.

They tried to send something, but they were all pushed back. They tried to let the other party enter the Governor's Mansion, but the other party retreated into the old barracks and could not come out - if once or twice was just ordinary humility, then After these ten days have passed, even the most obtuse person has already seen this obvious rejection.

"So why are you saying no? Isn't it nice to be a hero?"

Old man Yang Xuanyang was the first to find Du Chengfeng. Likewise, this old man was also the most anxious one.

"Although in terms of geographical location, Yizhou is indeed not a suitable place to raise troops, but the geographical advantage is not advantageous, and we still have people's hearts? What's more, the weather is also right, and now Nanchen is everywhere..."

"No, no, no, I really don't mean that."

Seeing that old man Yang was even more anxious than the client, Du Chengfeng couldn't help shaking his head.

"That's not really the case. I just think...hey, it's hard to talk about this kind of thing."

Old man Yang left in his wheelchair. He only thought that Du Chengfeng must have something wrong with his mind.

Maybe it would be better to give him some advice next time. Whether his Yang family can prosper again depends on this.

The second person to find Du Chengfeng was Cui Yuan, but it was not so much looking for it as meeting him—so, after a routine passionate fight, Du Chengfeng and Cui Yuan finished their work rest.

"I think it wouldn't be a bad thing if you become this hero."

Cui Yuan, who was paralyzed on the ground, thought about it and gave his own opinion.

"After all, a hero means a great reputation, and a great reputation means that there are more fights to fight. If you have more fights to fight, you can get more combat experience, which is also conducive to the improvement of strength."

Having said this, Cui Yuan couldn't help but raise his head in confusion.

"Sir, haven't you always done this? Why do you have doubts now?"

"That's not what happened..."

Du Chengfeng scratched his head, quite distressed.

He really didn't know how to explain it to Cui Yuan, after all, even his own feelings were actually a little vague.

After sending Cui Yuan away, Du Chengfeng, who hadn't grasped that feeling for a long time, simply picked up some snacks and went to Carpenter Li's house.

"If you don't want to do it, don't do it."

After drinking for three rounds, Carpenter Li, who was smelling of alcohol, patted him on the shoulder vigorously.

"Anyway, no matter what you do, brother, I will support you. Even if you want to be a hero, you want to rebel, or like now, you don't want to be a hero... In the worst case, just leave, there's no need There is no need to live such a tiring life."

"It's not like I just want to leave..."

Although he said this, Du Chengfeng still felt a little relaxed.

Even though Carpenter Li couldn't actually do anything, the other party was the first person to completely trust him.

The only problem is that Carpenter Li's drinking capacity is really bad. After three drinks, he has already got under the table.

So Du Chengfeng could only bring the remaining cheap wine to Liu Bolun's side.

"So why on earth do you not want to be this hero?"

The half-drunk Liu Bolun was stunned for a moment, then asked Du Chengfeng to sit down.

"Can you tell me your reason?"

"It feels...unsuitable?"

Du Chengfeng scratched his head.Indeed, being a hero may be a good thing, or in other words, it should be an excellent thing.Everyone in the city was boasting about him, praising him, saying that he was the hero who saved Yizhou City, and even lifted him up high. Whatever he wanted, someone would send it to him. He wanted to find someone. People even vacated the governor's mansion for him. Everyone was looking forward to him becoming the hero of Yizhou City and taking charge of everything in Yizhou City.

However, after so many days, he still couldn't get used to this feeling of being in the spotlight.

"Maybe you will say that I am a mother-in-law, but this feeling is really uncomfortable."

While drinking cheap wine, Du Chengfeng looked up at the sky.

Just like when he was lifted in the air by everyone that day, people surrounded him and lifted him high. He had nowhere to rely on in the air, and one hand after another pushed on his back—— He had tried very hard to turn his head, but at that time he had been pushed to a high place. The dazzling sunlight made him squint his eyes, but he could not see clearly any of the faces of the people below.

"That's probably how it feels."

Du Chengfeng sighed.

"It's not that I can't face it, it's just... very uncomfortable."

"Is that so...that's true."

Liu Bolun scratched his head.

"Remember the story about the big tree I told you?"

"……Remember."

Du Chengfeng nodded. He was not sure why Liu Bolun suddenly mentioned this.

After all, he had already given the answer at that time, all he needed was the power to pull up the roots of trees. Even if those tree-cutting people wanted to use him, they had to ask about his big knife first.

"Then let me tell you another story about a big tree, not the big tree before."

After taking a sip of wine to moisten his throat, Liu Bolun continued to speak.

"It is said that a long time ago, there was another big tree with luxuriant branches and straight branches. The farmers nearby found the big tree, and occasionally went to the tree to collect firewood, and the big tree didn't care. Those fallen branches are no longer useful to the tree. If they can help people, that is also a good thing."

"Um……"

Along with Liu Bolun's narration, Du Chengfeng continued to listen.

At first, some farmers came to collect firewood and go back to light the fire. Later, children gradually came to pick fruits under the tree, but not many, just one or two.Dashu himself doesn't care. After all, these are trivial things to him. Being loved by others and having an effect on people makes Dashu happy.

After a few years, as the children grew up, they began to learn to use branches as wooden swords to draw swords with their peers.The fallen dead branches were obviously not enough, so they climbed up the big tree and broke some branches.

At this time, the big tree still didn't feel anything, these were just trivial matters to it.

Even in order to make it easier for these children, the big tree also made its branches straighter and straighter.

As time went on, the children of that year were getting bigger and bigger, and as they got older, they needed more and more things, such as poles for hoes and shovels, or sticks that could be inserted into spearheads, some Sometimes they also need some rafters for building a house, and the straight branches of the big tree are just perfect.

"In the end, people cut down the big tree and used it as the beam of the ancestral hall... After all, this big tree has been with them for so long and deserves this honor."

Having said that, Liu Bolun sighed.

"I still remember, you told me last time that as long as the big tree is willing to uproot its roots, it can survive... So what now?"

Liu Bolun raised his head and looked at Du Chengfeng.

"When do you think this tree can be uprooted?"
