The years of being a bottle tree spirit

"Actually, I was a human being not long ago. After I died..." Looking into the young man's eyes, Mu Ping blurted out the truth somehow, except that she was suspected to be from the future of this world, and accidentally killed her. , clinging to the tree after waking up, and telling Ding about the strange changes he encountered when he met a strange person.

Then he continued: "So it is impossible for other people to produce water by themselves like me, but now I can produce two buckets of water every day. Apart from my own survival, there is still some water left over. It should be saved Enough to live for three or five people, and you can take it home for your parents and family."

"I don't have parents. I was taken in by the villagers after I wandered alone in this village." After listening to Mu Ping's words, Ding's eyes were still very calm. Even when he mentioned that he had no parents and was an orphan, it was very plain.

What kind of things does Mu Ping think will cause this child to have obvious emotional changes?She couldn't help but said: "Aren't you afraid after hearing what I said? I'm dead! I don't know how I turned into a dryad or a dryad. Most people will think it's scary, right?"

"Why are you afraid?" Ding Fan asked and then continued: "If I fainted from thirst in the village, no one would feed me water, but sister Mu Ping gave me the water that I didn't have much. I think a monster like you is scary."

"You child is so cunning." People can't hate it at all. Although many stories say that bad things will happen to inhuman things after they get married with people, after these few days of life that is boring to death, Mu Ping suddenly felt that because of his words, he would grow up and become bad in the future.

She would do things like bringing people to kill demons for other people like in many stories, and she couldn't hate him, she poked Ding Boy's cute little face with a branch while thinking, and then said: "You Do you have a container with water? I'll get you some water to take back to drink."

"No need, if I'm thirsty, I'll come here to drink." Anyway, if he brought the water back, he would definitely not be able to drink it, and he would be snatched away as soon as he brought it into the village, and he would be forced to tell where he found the water , If you really bring the people in the village, the people in the village will look like they are now.

Probably will firmly believe that sister Mu Ping lied, there is water under her root system, and then cut down sister Mu Ping, digging along her root system to find water, at this time, she will not hesitate to use precious water to save herself, Sister Mu Ping is good no matter whether she was a human before or a monster now.

She won't lie to herself, and she saved herself, so she must protect her well and not let the people in the village hurt her. Ding knows very well that there is a shortage of water everywhere now, and the people in the village have become very scary and crazy. Let them know about the non-human Muping.

Mu Ping didn't know that the seven-year-old boy in front of him could think so far. He heard him bluntly say that he came to her for water when he was thirsty. He blamed his aunt for his bad taste, and immediately teased him: "Hey! Really! You're welcome, I drank it once for free, and I want to keep drinking it for free.

As the old saying goes, the kindness of a drop of water is reciprocated by a spring. You haven’t said how to repay me for the kindness of a drop of water today, but you still want to do it next time, hum!Am I such a good-tempered monster? "

"The kindness of a drop of water? Repayment by the spring? Why have I never heard of the old saying there." Ding calmly and sharply black eyes showed a touch of surprise.

"Uh..." That's right!These words were said by ancient Chinese. I don’t know if the ancients who said these words were born now. Mu Ping was a little embarrassed by Ding’s rhetorical question. Adults can’t lose to children’s final stubbornness, which made her speak forcefully: “Even if there is no such sentence If so, the water can’t be drunk in vain.”

Hurry up and admit defeat to me, and then you can find a reason for him to have time to chat with me!Reincarnated as an immobile tree, there is nothing else to do except grow every day, it is extremely boring, if such an interesting teenager often chats with me.

I must not be so boring anymore, and I can also learn some local information by chatting with him. Even if I don't know much about Japanese history, if I hear the names of some famous people, I can roughly guess the time when they appeared.

"You're right." After Ding finished speaking, he lowered his head and drank a few sips of water with the branch in his mouth, and then said calmly and seriously: "But I have nothing, I have no reward to give you, I can only treat myself as reward. "

Huh!If you are so knowledgeable, tell me that you will often come to chat with me in the future, and do long-term work for me. Mu Ping waited expectantly for Ding's next words.

But I didn't expect to hear Ding continue: "Today's kindness of drinking water, I will repay you when I grow up and marry you in the future."

"Huh?" Mu Ping was stunned and said in disbelief, "Why do you owe me favors and ask me to marry you in return?"

What kind of logic is this?What's going on in a child's head?She couldn't understand it at all.

Ding replied seriously: "Sister Mu Ping used to be a human being, but now she is a tree. As a human being, you definitely don't like to marry other trees, right? But humans don't like to marry a tree either, so you It's difficult to get married, won't marrying you when I grow up solve your difficulties?"

"Yeah! You make sense." Looking at his serious appearance, she felt so persuasive that Mu Ping couldn't help but feel that it made sense. When she realized that she had been fooled by the response, she wanted to punch herself a few times. dog head.

Why marry other trees, why do humans not like to marry trees, why does she reincarnate into a tree, and still be considered by a child about whether to marry in the future?So what if she never gets married for the rest of her life?It's too embarrassing to be fooled by a child like this.

Seeing that Mu Ping admitted, Ding smiled and said, "Sister Mu Ping, that's the agreement! By the way, this necklace was given to me by my parents before they were alive. Now I will give it to you as a sign of our marriage contract." one's gift."

As he spoke, he took off the Gouyu necklace around his neck, and put the necklace under the tree root of the mu bottle.

"Uh..." Mu Ping came to his senses and was about to refute what he said earlier.

Ding, who was holding onto her branch all the time, let go of his hand at this moment, and then said: "It's getting late! Sister Mu Ping, I'm going back to the village first, see you tomorrow."

"Hey!" Seeing Ding Juvenile's quickness to let go, Mu Ping shook the branch helplessly, thinking, forget it, kid?What he thinks in his mind are ideas that adults can't understand. When he grows up, he will forget it, and even if he remembers, he will only feel that he said something stupid that a child would say.

Engaged to a tree monster, children's nonsense, don't take it seriously, don't take it seriously, instead of thinking about it, it's better to think about how to get some food for the child, but remember to return the necklace to him tomorrow, the relic of the deceased parents, yes It must be precious to him.

Even if the village takes in an orphan whose parents are not around, Ding is so thin and slender, and he will definitely not have enough to eat on weekdays. Such a smart and cute child, it is better to feed him fatter. Mu Ping silently thought about how to make Ding fatter.

She didn't expect that in the future, it would be such a sentence that she never cared about, and she would give her long life to some natural black devil, and there was no room for repentance, and she was wronged to death.

At this time, I don’t know what will happen in the future. In the evening, the shallow puddle attracted some surviving animals nearby, such as a skinny cow, two sheep, a few rabbits, etc. lying on the side of the puddle and licking the water.

The cow is so thin, is there still meat?The mutton smells bad, it is not easy to eat without good seasoning, and the rabbit meat has an earthy smell. It is best to cook it with other meat...

Mu Ping looked at the animals under the tree, picked and picked in his heart, and finally decided to attack the cows first. The lean cows are big, no matter how thin they are, they should be able to produce a lot of meat, and the calcium supplement effect of beef bones is also good. If you capture it and raise your child, you will definitely be able to feed the child with sufficient nutrition, calcium, and grow tall and strong.

With good expectations, she controlled a few branches to restrain the lean cow that was drinking water. The other drinking animals were scared away immediately, but she underestimated the strength of the ancient bison, even though it was so thin, it was very strong. She used a few twigs to bind it, and just wrapped up its bull's head and legs.

One piece was torn off. Seeing that the food reserve prepared for the child was about to escape, Mu Ping pulled out a few tree roots from the ground without thinking, and while trying to restrain the fleeing lean cow, he thought about thousands of times. Don't let it escape, she will invite Ding to eat beef tomorrow!

Unexpectedly, as soon as my tree roots wrapped around the legs of the skinny cow, the skinny cow seemed to be absorbed by the roots suddenly. When its head drooped, the whole body seemed to have no bones, hanging limply to her roots, and then the whole body It shrinks and shrinks, and soon disappears completely.

At the same time, Mu Ping felt a very sufficient nutrient transfer from the root system to the body, causing her to have an emotion of wanting to grow up and grow thicker and bigger. Along with this emotion, her body The trunk quickly grew from three meters to more than four meters, and the diameter of the tree circumference suddenly increased to one and a half meters.

The tree that is too thick looks like a very thick vase on the outside. Not to mention the bark has turned into bone china color, the inner trunk has also turned into the same color, and the trunk space has expanded to a diameter of more than one meter. , more than three meters high.

She transformed and stored the water before, but now in this growing space, the amount is very small, just occupying a layer of bark at the bottom of the trunk... What's going on?Could it be that the golden beans and wine that mutated his tree that day not only caused him to mutate photosynthetic energy into water.

And let myself evolve predatory animals with this bottle tree, grow quickly, and have ferocious abilities like piranhas and snake trees, then I will become too scary, vomit! ! !Although she didn't feel anything, the vision of eating a live cow still made her consciously retch a few times.

Sensing the huge changes that had happened to her, she felt a little panicked. Unexpectedly, when she was panicking about the brutality of her tree body, the changes in the tree body had not stopped, and the green leaves and branches grew rapidly, making the crown grow to about [-] square meters. , the color of the leaves becomes darker and darker, turning into a reddish green color.
