I have a magical tree

Shanfang was pulled out of the house by the woman and came to the outside of the ancestor's house. At this time, a large number of villagers had gathered here. All the women who were supposed to work today did not go.

Shanfang was taken into the house, and a woman wrapped the statue on the table with silk cloth and handed it to Shanfang.

"This is what the ancestor told in advance. You are responsible for keeping this statue."

These days, the ancestor has almost always brought Shanfang with him, and they also know that Shanfang is a sensible child. The ancestor had told in advance to give the statue to Shanfang, and they did not object.

"Where is the ancestor?"

"The ancestor..." No one could answer. When they came, this place was like this. The clothes that the ancestor wore yesterday were neatly folded and placed at the head of the bed. Other clothes and ornaments were not missing, but the ancestor was the only one who disappeared.

But everyone knew that the ancestor was gone! They just didn't know why it was like this, but he was gone.

Almost everyone knew that the ancestor would not be able to hold on for much longer. When the ancestor started making the statue, they guessed the result today. Everyone tried to persuade and stop him, but no one succeeded.

As the ancestor's spirit became worse and worse, his body became older and older, and finally he died, everyone knew that when the statue was completed, it would be the time for the ancestor to leave.

"The ancestor must have become an immortal! Isn't it?" Shanfang wiped her tears with her sleeves and forced a smile.

Everyone nodded, "Yes, it must be. Maybe the god came to pick him up in person!"

"I think so too. He didn't even leave his body behind. Isn't that the legendary ascension to heaven?"

"The ancestor was really cruel. He turned into a rainbow secretly in the middle of the night without letting us see it!"

A woman smiled and touched Shanfang's head, "You are a sensible person and a smart child. We didn't expect that! The ancestor has gone to heaven to enjoy happiness. You must take good care of this statue!"

Shanfang nodded and hugged the statue tighter, "I know, I will definitely take good care of the statue!"

Although the ancestor never told them what they should do after the statue was completed, and didn't let them worship day and night and visit every year, as if he just wanted to build a statue for the benefactor.

But all of them understood the ancestor's expectations, and no one would violate them. But with the ancestor's open-mindedness, this statement would probably never be said in his lifetime.

Sure enough, the ancestor never said anything like that, even before his death, even when his body had reached its limit and was about to die, he never said anything like that.

"Let's set it on this day every year! The statue is already made, and the day of sacrifice should be set on this day every year!" Someone said.

Everyone nodded, "That's good, the ancestor will probably be happy!"

After that, the women worked together to sort out the few relics of the ancestor. It was not until then that they realized that the ancestor had actually prepared for today.

The ancestor actually brought a lot of things from Keling Village, but now there are only a few left here, and they are not valuable things. As for the rest, it was not stolen by someone, but the ancestor asked Shanfang to give them to other families from time to time these days.

Not every family has it, but every family with a difficult life and many children must have it, and those things have been given away long ago.

So, they sorted it out, and finally found that the ancestor had nothing left. Everyone present was heartbroken, but they all tried hard to hold back their tears.

Shanfang was the successor chosen by the ancestor, and also the female leader of Keling Village!

The ancestor was the previous female leader. Before the tragedy, her identity did not play a big role, except for standing out during the New Year sacrifice.

But when the tragedy happened, all the men in the village were gone, and the pillar of everyone was gone. It was the ancestor who stood up and united everyone as the female leader, and finally overcame this difficulty.

If there were still men in the village, the selection of the female leader might not be so important, and the position of the female leader would not matter, but for the current Keling Village, this position is very important.

However, no one expected that the ancestor did not pass the position of the female leader to any of them, but chose Shanfang, the granddaughter.

You know, Shanfang is only a few years old now, but after the ancestor said it, no one objected. Since the ancestor did this, there must be a reason, and they didn't even ask for the reason.

Although Shanfang is only a few years old and her generation is not very high, she belongs to the younger generation. But after she obtains the status of the female leader, she will be the first in the annual festival sacrifice. Once she makes a decision, as long as there is no obvious mistake, others will listen.

Just like the ancestor decided to move the whole village to Qingyun County, if one day the time is right, Shanfang said that the whole village will move back to the original site of Keling Village, they will also listen.

Of course, this is not forced. If you really don't want to, then don't want to, but the weight of this sentence spoken by the female leader is completely different from that of others.

At this moment, the door was pushed open, and Liang Zuo's figure appeared at the door, as if hesitating whether to come in.

"Did the old man leave any last words?"

The women shook their heads, "The ancestor left quietly and said nothing!"

"Is that so!" Liang Zuo nodded, "What about you? Do you have any requests? I will try my best to satisfy them!"

The women shook their heads again, "If you have a livelihood, you can earn everything by yourself. Why ask for it from the adults?"

Liang Zuo was silent and looked around, "I understand! The old man's funeral..."

"Keep it simple. We will clean up here and go to work!"

Liang Zuo was even a little stunned, but he felt it was reasonable. This was really like the old man's style!

Liang Zuo had to turn around and leave, but when he was about to walk away, he stopped and said, "If you have any difficulties, come to me. If I return to the city in the future and you can't find me, go to Feng Hongyun!"

"Thank you, adults, we will remember it!"

The ancestor said that everything should be kept simple, and everything was really kept simple. There was no funeral, no coffin or mourning hall. Just three sticks of incense and a bowl of food every day were enough for three days.

In fact, according to the ancestor's original intention, incense and food could be waived, but they disagreed, so the ancestor stopped refusing.

These are what the old ancestor said to them after arriving in Qingyun County. Since then, the old ancestor has no longer been shy about talking about his afterlife, probably because he knew that his time was coming!

And they seemed to have nothing to do except obey.
