I have a magical tree

Xu Dao had been hiding in the darkness and witnessed the whole process.

He was in a particularly heavy mood at this time. He did not miss a word of the conversation between the old woman and Liang Zuo. He was also shocked when he saw the well-preserved imperial edict.

It is hard to imagine what this imperial edict means to Keling Village. The edict never wrote the laws of Dali, but the most primitive and simple expectations of the people, so they cherished it so much.

Don't they know that the edict is useless? Don't they know that the edict has been abandoned by the emperor and his ministers?

Probably they know that the edict is just their thoughts, their expectations for life and beauty.

This is not the first time Xu Dao has heard the name of Taizu. But no time has his feelings been so direct and intense.

He was an extraordinary person. The extraordinary thing that Xu Dao said was not only the great achievements established by Taizu of Dali, but also his people-oriented thinking.

If it were any other feudal dynasty, Xu Dao would not be so shocked. In his original world, the idea of ​​people being the most important, the state being the second, and the monarch being the least important had been there long ago.

But this world is different, because of the extraordinary!

In a world with extraordinary power, this idea is even greater!

The class differentiation brought about by the difference in individual strength is even more terrifying and stable. And in this situation, there is actually such a person who bows his head and sees the ordinary people on the ground.

I really want to go back to the era of Taizu and appreciate the style of Taizu! It is a pity that such a person cannot live in the same era.

Xu Dao watched Liang Zuo lead a group of officials to leave the ancestral hall and retreat to the outskirts of the village, which is a safe distance for paying tribute to the ancestral hall.

However, Xu Dao did not choose to leave, because he saw the strong will to die in these women and children.

He did not believe the old woman's comfort to Liang Zuo, which was more like an excuse to get Liang Zuo away.

Xu Dao claimed to be as hard as iron, but he could not bear to watch this group of people die!

The world should not be like this!

The old woman stood up with difficulty, stopped in front of a coffin, and gently rubbed her palm on the coffin.

"Old thing, you still haven't lived longer than me!"

She turned her head and looked at the other women and children behind her. At this time, these women and children had sadness, relief, freedom, and greed for life in their eyes, but there was no fear at all.

"You actually have other choices. There is no need to accompany me, an old woman, to go crazy like this! I have lived enough, but you are still young!"

Among the other women and children, the oldest ones laughed, "You didn't say that before, you just said you were the youngest, why did you change your mind today?"

"Yes, yes, I also saw you calling that Lord Liang a young man! How could you not know that he is older than you? You are really shameless!"

The old woman also laughed, "I did it on purpose, deliberately calling him a young man! The first time he came to our Keling Village When I was young, I was not that old! At that time, he was handsome! Better than this old man! "

She patted the coffin beside her, "This old thing is also cruel. He didn't even react when he saw me teasing others deliberately. "

One person nodded, with expectation in his tone, "I will also be a warrior in the next life, and taste the taste of eternal youth! You say, will we have a next life?"

"Maybe, maybe not!" The old woman shook her head. She didn't know about this kind of thing. Not to mention that she didn't know, even many cultivators probably didn't know.

Even Xu Dao on the side didn't know. Do people have an afterlife? Is there a next life? Does a world with extraordinary power have this?

Do those so-called reincarnations exist in this world? He has never been exposed to things in this regard, so naturally he doesn't know.

There are immortals and gods, but it doesn't mean there is an afterlife, especially in such a weird world.

The old woman looked at the young women, "You should go back! Let us old women do this, there is nothing to worry about!"

But the younger women were silent, but they did not move a step.

"Why are you so stubborn? Didn't you just listen to me? We want revenge. If the old generation can't do it, then the next generation. If the next generation can't do it, then wait for the next generation. So, you have to live!"

The women and children shook their heads, and one of them came forward and supported the old woman, "Ancestor, you guys are not enough! That's the master!"

The old woman nodded silently, "You have to think about it! This is not a joke, you will really die!"

"Ancestor, since we are here, we have already thought about it! If we were afraid, we wouldn't come here ! "

The old woman smiled, "You are all worthy of being the women of my Keling Village. You have been no worse than men since ancient times!"

Then, she looked at several of them, "Sizi, Huaihua, Aqing, you guys leave here!"

The women who were named looked at each other, "Grandfather, we are not afraid either!"

"I know you are not afraid, but these children must leave, and they also need someone to take care of them, so they will be handed over to you guys." The old woman stepped forward and patted several people on the shoulders, and then looked down at the swaddling clothes in their arms.

"Grandfather..."

"Let's go, take away those under the age of fifteen!" The old woman's face became serious, and her tone began to become unquestionable.

"Let's go! My girl will be handed over to you!"

Others also spoke up, and they all stretched out their hands to push those people and a group of children out, and then closed the courtyard door completely.

The ones who were driven away had just given birth and their children were not weaned yet! It just so happened that the remaining children in the village also needed someone to take care of them.

"Don't worry, I left them a fortune. After dawn, they will go to the county town. The money is all the leftovers from the public property of the village ancestral hall. Although it is not much, it is enough for them to raise those children!" The old woman said.

Everyone nodded, and a few women who had just sent their children out quietly raised their hands and wiped their eyes.

In fact, no one doesn't want to live, but the world doesn't want them to live.

"When all the men in the village die, this Keling Village actually no longer exists. In a few years, ten years, maybe someone will mention it and talk about the existence of such a village, but after decades or hundreds of years, no one will mention it!"

"Then do something to make them all remember it, and they dare not forget it for a hundred years!" Someone's tone suddenly became cold, with a sense of determination.

"Yes, let them not forget, let them remember that there is a village called Keling, and all the men and women in the village are great!" Someone echoed.

The old woman smiled and nodded, "You are right, we need to do something!"
