The years of being a bottle tree spirit

Animals, insects and ants are very powerful. Obviously, in the first two days after she wore it, there was no trace of animal and insect activities around her, but when she produced light and nutrients into water, it was stored in the trunk and roots. Some water functions shortly after waking up.

At first, some insects and ants crawled out from nowhere and burrowed near her root system to absorb the water in the roots. Birds would land on her canopy from time to time to peck her leaves, or they would not know how to fly after taking a leaf. go there.

There was a large carnivore that tried to break her trunk with sharp claws and teeth, as if she knew that there was water in her body. She knew that the bark of the tree was damaged and it was easy to die, and the bark was scratched. It felt like the skin had been scratched.

I don’t want to be skinned to death by animals, and I don’t like the itchy feeling when insects and ants bite the tree roots. I simply control the branches to guide some water out of the trunk, and it is cool near the roots, and there are stones to stop the water from draining. There is a small puddle of water in the place.

Then hide the remaining life-saving water in the most secret place in the trunk, and try to concentrate on reducing the smell of water outside the trunk. Fortunately, the adventure that day seems to have given her inexplicable potential. The control turned out to be really fast.

Four more days passed like this, the sky was still dry and hot, the surrounding hay had completely withered, and there was not even a little green in sight, and the dry yellow leaves on the trees farther away were all gone. Neither got any better.

On this day, she was still absorbing sunlight and carbon dioxide for photosynthesis under the scorching sun, continuing to transform water into her trunk, and trying to make the root system drill through the hard rock and grow deeper, so as to pass the time.

In the distance, a small figure is standing against the sun, walking slowly towards this side, is there a new little animal that senses that there is water here, did it come here to find water to drink?Even if it was too late, the water in the small puddle had already been drunk by other animals.

Those guys even staged a few primitive hunts here, which were very bloody. Even if it came, it would have no water to drink, and its own life-saving water would not be given away!Mu Ping thought nonchalantly, and continued basking in the sun.

Unexpectedly, after a while, when the figure slowly moved to a distance where he could 'see' clearly, he realized that it was not a small animal, but a child with black hair and black eyes, a small face, and a very curvy hairstyle. Like the hairstyle of ancient Chinese boys, the style of clothes is also a bit similar.

But around the child's neck is a necklace woven with Gouyu, which is rarely used in China, let alone as a necklace, but in the Japanese anime she has watched, ancient Japanese seem to use a lot, Is this kid Japanese?Are you in Japan?

For Mu Ping, there will be people around. She was not surprised after seeing the young man who fell from the sky, so she was not too surprised when she found out that the little animal she thought was a child, but when she saw the child wearing a She really panicked when she hooked up with Yuyu.

Looking at the person and the child's clothes that day, it is obvious that he was reborn in ancient times. Originally, the bottle tree should have been born in South America, but now that the child is wearing a jade, it is very likely that he was reborn in ancient Japan.

Not to mention how good South American tree species grow seedlings in Japan, just her good Chinese and Chinese soul have inexplicably changed their nationality. Is this what that bastard did?Person in charge?oh!It is impossible for a guy who can make people travel through time and space to be reborn from a tree!

Just when Mu Ping was complaining in her heart, the child who walked under the shade of her tree under the sun fell down with a thud, lying there motionless, as if dead, which startled her, and hurriedly 'Look' past.

Only then did I discover that the child is about six or seven years old, probably malnourished, and very slender, without the chubby feeling of modern children. His face may be heatstroke at the moment, and it is very red. Dry skin is obviously a symptom of prolonged dehydration.

Could it be that the drought here is not only affecting forests and animals, but also humans are short of water?Also, in ancient times, whether it was China, Japan, or other countries, the production technology was backward and the science was underdeveloped. Once a natural disaster occurred, they were simply unable to resist self-rescue.

It is also normal for people to be short of water due to drought, but I did not expect that there is no water for children. Thinking of this, Mu Ping forgot her previous idea of ​​never giving out her own life-saving water, and immediately controlled herself. A branch from the canopy fell to the ground.

First try to control the branch to poke the child's cute and delicate face, see that he has not woken up, then move the branch to the child's mouth with confidence, let it be inserted into the child's mouth like a straw, then pour the water slowly into his mouth.

The child was obviously very thirsty. As soon as the water flowed out of the branch pipe, he couldn't wait to swallow it. After swallowing two mouthfuls, he didn't seem to quench his thirst, so he closed his eyes, grabbed her branch with both hands and sucked it up, allowing the water to flow in faster. In his mouth, he swallowed.

Seeing that the child would swallow on his own initiative, Mu Ping, who felt that the situation was not that serious, was relieved. Unexpectedly, just as she was relieved, the child suddenly opened his eyes.

With his dark eyes, somehow, he felt calmer than an adult, as if he could see himself, staring at the direction where he grew and took root, and asked: "My lord? A monster? Or a ghost?"

'Wow! 'Why is this kid's eyes so sharp, he is more imposing than his boss, and he feels terrible when he looks at him, isn't this just a kid?The moment Mu Ping was stared at by the little boy, he couldn't help but have the idea of ​​taking back his own branches and pretending to be an ordinary tree.

Unexpectedly, she shook the crown of the tree several times and did not pull it back. This young man looked slender and thin, but his strength was amazing. She lost a three-meter-high tree in strength compared to him, which is really frustrating. , Were all ancient people so powerful?If you fall from the sky, you can't die. A child is stronger than a tree?

With calm eyes, the young man glanced at the tight branches in his hand and the swaying crown above, and asked naturally: "You can't talk? Or can't you talk to humans? If you feed me water, it shouldn't be that you hate humans Bar?"

Huh!The child didn't say that she hadn't noticed it, but she remembered it when he said it. When the man who fell from the sky spoke, she was too shocked to notice his pronunciation. She just felt as if she heard him say something about alcohol. drunk talk.

Now that the child has spoken a few words, she can confirm that she has never heard of his language. Although the pronunciation is a bit similar to Japanese, it is by no means that she has come into contact with those Japanese in modern times, that's right!If this is really ancient Japan, I probably don't know how many years ago.

The pronunciation of ancient languages ​​is very different from that of modern languages. Even if modern Chinese experts go back to ancient China, they may not understand what the locals say, let alone ancient Japan. She cannot understand the pronunciation.

But inexplicably, I 'listened' to understand the meaning of his voice. It should be like plants can 'see' like they don't have eyes. Unlike human beings who use organs to communicate, only plants understand the effects of certain plant organs. !

Mu Ping, a vegetable who became a monk halfway, could only think so, and tried to say: "I didn't speak because I wonder if you can hear my voice."

Try to use the 'speaking' organ that plants can't see to pronounce. Can this child hear it?

"I can hear you!" Ming Ming said with a stern face and a calm and sharp face, but there was a cute ending in his voice: "Your voice sounds like a young woman, what should I call you?"

"My name is Mu Ping, you can just call me sister, what about you? What's your name?" I was only in my 20s when I died, so calling him sister is not pretending to be young!Anyway, 29 is also in his 20s!cough cough!Mu Ping thought with a guilty conscience.

"Sister Mu Ping." Hearing what she said, the boy actually called his sister obediently, his obedient performance did not match his calm and sharp villain-like temperament at all: "My name is Ding. "

"Ding, why are you here on such a hot day?" Only a first name but no surname?It seems that this is really ancient Japan. She remembers that in ancient Japan, only the royal family and nobles had surnames, and the common people did not have surnames, but it is so refreshing to be called sister by a young man who looks so sharp and will definitely become famous in the future. !Mu Ping asked while thinking.

Even though Ding talked and communicated with Mu Ping, who was obviously a non-human, he didn't show any fear and fear, and replied very calmly: "The well in the village has been dry for several days, and there is no water anywhere. Everyone Very thirsty, yesterday I saw some birds flying over the village with some green leaves in their mouths.

Guessing that there may be water in this direction, otherwise the vegetation will die and it is impossible to grow green leaves, so I searched for water in this direction early in the morning. I won't die of thirst either. "

"You're quite smart at such a young age, but I'm going to disappoint you. You can tell by looking at the surrounding vegetation that there is no water source nearby. I have water here because I have a special situation and let you drink it as a child. Some water is still available.

A village is not enough. Hearing Ding Juvenile's words, Mu Ping thought from the bottom of his heart that this kid was really smart, how could an ordinary kid guess that there was water in this direction from the behavior of a few birds! It's just that the water transformed by photosynthesis every day is limited.

After a whole day, at most two buckets of water can be converted. The root system has been drilling deep into the ground for the past few days, but no water veins have been found. This water is barely enough for my own survival and personal use. ,Totally impossible.

Hearing Mu Ping's answer, even though Ding's expression didn't change much, the sense of disappointment on his body was obvious, but he didn't give up. After being silent for a while, he asked, "Sister Mu Ping, what is the special situation you mentioned? What? Can we humans get water by your special method?"
