At this moment, there was a noise outside, and then the majestic voice of the old lady was heard.

"There is an accident at the port. In the next few days, you should stop joining in the fun, so as not to get angry. If you want to buy anything, tell the housekeeper. The housekeeper will go shopping together, don't run around by yourself." The old lady always said one thing at home. When she was sick, some people dared to jump. Now that she is healthy, no one dares to make trouble in front of her. Even Ruan Jun, who has always been arrogant, shrinks like a quail .

However, whether Ruan Jun's current behavior is due to the majesty of the old lady, or because Ruan Xi scared him before, that is a matter of opinion.

Anyway, Ruan Xi doesn't care much, as long as Ruan Jun doesn't make trouble for himself, he is also willing to ignore his existence.After all, with Ruan Jun's ability to bear in his heart, he might not be able to get out of the shadow of this matter in this life, and he is enough to punish himself, so why should Ruan Xi bother?

"Auntie, grandma is back." Ruan Xi only said this, then looked at Ruan Huaqing quietly, and did nothing.

However, Ruan Huaqing already understood the meaning behind Ruan Xi's words.

"I understand, Xiaoxi, thank you." Ruan Huaqing slowly got up, and slowly nodded his thanks to Ruan Xi, then turned and walked out of Ruan Xi's room.

It wasn't until the door was closed that Ruan Xi let out a long sigh of relief, and his shoulders, which had been stuck all the time, also collapsed slightly. He really didn't like to deal with such things at all, it was weird.

Unable to make up for it, Ruan Xi didn't bother to struggle anymore, so he went directly to the old lady and waited for someone at the door of the study.

"Grandmother, let's talk?" The old lady obviously didn't expect that Ruan Xi was still at home at the moment, she thought that this kid would go straight to the mountains and forests when he came back, and after being dazed, she couldn't help but smile slightly.

"I thought you loved being a savage in the mountains and forests. It's strange to stay at home now." The old lady teased with a smile, but she didn't mean to blame at all, and motioned Ruan Xi to go into the study with her.

The butler made a pot of tea for them and served them, and was about to guard the door, but was stopped by the old lady, "Bo Yu should stay too."

The housekeeper was stunned for a moment when he heard this, but he quickly came to his senses and walked back behind the old lady with a normal expression, "Yes."

Ruan Xi looked at the relationship between the old lady and the butler, and couldn't help but sighed in his heart, but he didn't have much curiosity about it. Anyway, the old lady is free, and the butler is also free. Supporting each other and going on, it's better than being lonely all the time.

"Grandmother, you are at the port today, you are at the port today, you have something to say, right?" Ruan Xi went straight to the point, staring at the old lady without blinking, until the old lady couldn't bear it in the end. She couldn't help laughing out loud, and then she blinked innocently, "Grandma, what are you laughing at?"

Ruan Xi has a cold personality and doesn't like to socialize with others, but he has always been popular with old people, especially old people like his grandmother, so he will definitely be coaxed.

"You child, your temper is much more straightforward than before. It's good that way, so you don't keep everything in your heart." The old lady said with a hint of ridicule, with emotion, and fell silent again.

Ruan Xi didn't express his thoughts on this, but just quietly waited for the old lady's next words. Sure enough, the old lady was silent for a while, and then spoke again, with nostalgia and emotion on her face that Ruan Xi had never seen before.

"Our planet has a secret..."

Ruan Xi: "..." Come on, this is really a routine beginning, Fu Nong Xing really has a story, I'm afraid, it's a big story.

Ruan Xi pretended to be listening attentively, this small appearance amused the old lady, and the originally tense atmosphere instantly relaxed.

"Xiaoxi, tell grandma, what did you encounter in the forest? Did you see a...big tree?" The old lady finally turned to the topic, and the first sentence she spoke shocked Ruan Xi .

"Grandma, do you know that tree?" Ruan Xi chose his words carefully, and did not directly say "the tree of life". He subconsciously wanted to protect the tree, and he was unwilling to let more people know about the tree's existence. .

However, there is an enchantment-like existence in the mountain forest, and not everyone can enter it, at least for the time being, there should be no need to worry too much.

"The tree of life, I have only seen it once. It has been 65 years since then. Is it... okay? It must have grown very tall..." The old lady's eyes flashed with nostalgia, His thoughts seemed to have flown to 65 years ago, but when he saw Ruan Xi's slightly surprised face, he returned to reality in an instant.

"Our planet is endless because of the tree of life, but we can't help it, we can only watch it trapped deep in the forest, and even, as time goes by, we can't even get close to it. , Xiaoxi, have you seen the tree of life, right? You...can communicate with it, right?" The old lady looked at Ruan Xi with hope in her eyes, and even clenched her hands into fists nervously, expecting to be able to From Ruan Xi, she heard the answer she wanted to hear.

"Grandma, do you mean that in that mountain forest, there is indeed an enchantment that traps the tree of life?" Therefore, the function of that enchantment is not protection, but imprisonment.

Who imprisoned the tree of life in that mountain forest?What is the purpose of this prison?

As if seeing through the doubts in Ruan Xi's heart, the old lady took the initiative to say: "I don't know exactly who trapped the tree of life there, but I know the purpose of that person, nothing more than to use the tree of life The power to maintain the life of Fu Nong, so that we can reproduce on Fu Nong from generation to generation, waiting for the turning point that we don't know when it will come..."

Speaking of "turning the corner", the old lady looked at Ruan Xi with a gleam in her eyes, and a powerful force burst out from her body. This power refers to the spirit, not the body, which made Ruan Xi feel special. incredible.

"Then... shall we continue to trap the tree of life there?" Although the nature of plants is to take root in the ground, the tree of life is special. After adulthood, the tree of life can move independently Yes, even in ancient legends, the tree of life can be transformed into a human form, but no one has ever seen the transformed tree of life with their own eyes.

Thinking of Dashu's acquaintance with him at the beginning, the loneliness in his words, Ruan Xi felt distressed, and naturally resented the people who trapped the tree of life there. Human beings on Fu Nong are life, and then , Isn’t the tree of life life?Why does the tree of life have to sacrifice itself for the humans on Fu Nong?

Is there no better solution?

Or, those people never considered other ways at all, just stubborn?

"Grandma, is there any way to save the tree of life?"
