The portable manor of the reborn daughter

Chapter 15 The Apparition of the Tree God
Ten years away from home, Taoyuan Village is no longer the small mountain village in memory.

There are more small two- and three-story buildings in the village, and the roads have become wider. However, there are many fewer people in the village.I remember that in the past, at dusk, everyone liked to gather under the big pagoda tree at the head of the village, chatting while eating, and this was the most lively place in the whole village.

But now, Lin Siquan was standing under the big locust tree, and he could never regain the grand occasion before.

It was the time when the villagers were having dinner, and there was no one under the tree. Even the big locust tree was dead and hadn't sprouted yet.

Lin Siquan touched the rough trunk of the big locust tree, and asked strangely: "Brother, it's spring now, why hasn't the big locust tree sprouted yet?"

Lin Siyuan had a regretful expression: "I was struck to death by thunder. Last winter there were thunderstorms for several days, and there were thunderstorms. It happened that a big thunder hit the old locust tree, and it caught fire at that time. Fortunately, it was destroyed immediately. It rained, so the fire did not start, but the top of the old locust tree was broken, and the children in the village climbed up to see it, and said that the top was all scorched, and now it hasn’t sprouted, so it must be dead.”

"It's such a pity." This old locust tree has been growing at the entrance of the village. It has a history of hundreds of years, and the trunk is too thick for a person to hug it.

"Yes, it's a pity."

The two were talking, when someone passed by, Lin Siyuan greeted him and talked to him, but Lin Siquan refused to give up, walked around the old locust tree for a few times, squatted at the foot of the tree again, and took out the small lock on the key chain. The knife made a cut on the heel of the tree, and after a while, a faint juice flowed out.

This tree is not dead yet, it should be saved.

Lin Siquan looked back quietly, her brother was far away, chatting with someone, and didn't pay attention to this side at all, she immediately turned her back to them, quietly dug a small hole at the root of the tree, put her left hand there, From her fingertips, a clear spring gushed out, immediately filled the small pit, and then permeated down quickly...

After a while, she estimated that it was almost done, so she stopped draining the water, and then carefully filled the small hole she dug.

Fortunately, it was dark, and there were only dim lights in the distance, so no one noticed her little movements.

Well, I will wait and see the effect tomorrow, but she is not worried at all, her spring water has miraculous effects on plants, it is just an old half-dead locust tree, it will definitely be able to save life.

After finishing her work, she stood up, patted the dirt on her hands, and then walked towards her brother.

Lin Siyuan greeted her: "Little sister, come quickly and say hello to the village chief."

The village chief, Lin Changju, also called her: "It's Siquan. I heard that you came back this afternoon. I didn't expect to meet you when I was walking around."

He is an old man in the village. He is over 70 years old and has been the village head for decades. He is fair and upright. Lin Siquan still has an impression of him.

"Master Changju, have you finished your meal? I just came back today, and I just talked to my parents and said that I will go to your house tomorrow."

"Come on, your grandma must be happy. Now that all the young people in the village have gone out, we are the only old guys left in the village." Lin Changju said a little sadly.

"Have all the young people in the village gone out to work?"

"Yeah, now they can't make money from farming. They all go out and do masonry and carpentry outside. It costs 200 yuan a year, and they can save tens of thousands of yuan a year. It's better than farming at home."

In the past few years, there are fewer and fewer people farming in the village, and many fields have been abandoned. He has dealt with the land all his life, and it hurts his heart to see those fields that no one has planted.

But times are changing, and he can't stop the villagers from going out to make money.

"Okay, let's not talk about these things. It's fine if you come back. Although your parents haven't talked about it these years, they still miss you in their hearts. When you come back in the future, you must honor them well."

Lin Siquan nodded in agreement: "Of course, I won't go out this time when I come back, I will stay with them at home."

Liu Changju nodded after saying something.

When the elderly are old, it is the greatest blessing to have their children by their side.Like his two sons, who are getting old and still working outside, they only come back once during the Chinese New Year.

This topic was a bit sad to mention, so Lin Changju didn't mention it anymore. He pointed to the old locust tree and asked, "What were you looking at there just now?"

Lin Siquan shared his discovery: "My brother said that the old locust tree was struck to death by lightning. I just cut some roots to see, and there is still juice in it. The tree is still alive."

"It's not completely dead, but it's also seriously injured. I guess it won't recover. Look at the other trees that have already sprouted, but he hasn't moved yet."

"It's a pity too."

"Yes, this tree has grown for hundreds of years, and he was there when I was a child." Lin Changju looked at the old locust tree, with a hint of sadness in his eyes, "Wait another month, if he can't survive, we have to take him to the hospital." Cut it down, otherwise it would be unlucky for a dead tree to stand at the entrance of the village, and it might fall down and hit people."

Lin Siquan hurriedly said: "Master Changju, wait a little longer, maybe this tree can come back to life, it has been growing for hundreds of years, it's not easy, I'll fetch some water later, water it for him He sprouts early."

Lin Changju nodded repeatedly after hearing this, and praised her for being serious.

Just do it, Lin Siquan didn't hesitate, and immediately went home to get a bucket, and poured two buckets of water to the foot of the old locust tree. Just to be on the safe side, she quietly put some water in it.

Unexpectedly, early the next morning, something serious happened in the village.

Early in the morning, Taoyuan Village was boiling.

Wang Guihua went to the field to chop cabbage early in the morning. When passing by the entrance of the village, she inadvertently looked up at the old locust tree, only to find that the old locust tree came alive, as if it had sprouted a tree full of buds overnight, growing thriving .

She immediately yelled bluffing, and after a while, the whole village surrounded her.

Sure enough, in just one night, the old locust tree changed drastically, and the scorched trunk that had been struck by lightning was covered with young shoots.

How is this going?People in the village passed by the tree yesterday, but it was still scorched and withered. How did it change so much in just one night?
People in the village were discussing around the old locust tree, and some people pointed and said that the tree god had appeared.

Grandma Six is ​​the oldest in the village. She is over 80 this year and she is still very energetic. She kept talking about the tree god in the old locust tree.
