Chapter 41: The Expedition to the Kingdom of Northern Hu (17)

Wen Bufan quickly turned around and looked at the tree behind him. The tree was not as tall as the other books, and it was about the same size as Wen Bufan. If you look closely, this is a living tree man!

The tree man couldn't hide it. Hurry and turn around and run away!

Wen Bufan naturally wouldn't let him escape, so he stopped in front of the man with an arrow and resisted the man with a burning stick.

The Treant tried to turn and run away, but Isabel had blocked his way out.

"Tell me, where is this?" Wen Bufan said.

"Silent Forest!" The tree man said.

"Silent Forest?" Wen Bufan said.

The treant nodded.

"What is it doing here?" Wen Bufan asked again.

"Our people will be here before they fall silent!" Treant said.

Wen Bufan generally understood, so he asked again, "Where do you live?" ”

The one pointed to the tree man in front of him.

Wen Bufan got out of the way and motioned for the tree man to lead the way. The tree man did not struggle, but walked straight forward, out of the forest, and over a ridge, a large plain appeared, and the plain was full of life! Lots of people were busy there, as if they were working hard.

In the distance, you can see that the houses are neatly located there.

Looks like this is the habitat of those treants.

The tree man didn't stop, but kept walking forward, into the crowd of trees.

The tree men looked at Wen Bufan and Isabel, but only a few more glances, and didn't say much. At this time, Wen Bufan saw a few children playing in the field, and their appearance was very similar to the children that Jun Yao led him to see at that time. It's just that these kids have some of the characteristics of trees.

Those tree people only glanced at Wen Bufan and Isabel a few times, and then they started to get busy again. A few people asked a few words about the tree man who posted the article and Isabel came here, and the tree man just shook his head and didn't say anything.

"This is where we live, you've seen it, is there anything else?" The tree man said.

Wen Bufan looked at the busy tree people here, they didn't seem to be hostile to himself and Isabel's arrival, and they didn't know what they should do for a while.

So Wen Bufan asked, "How long have you been living here?" ”

"It's been a long time, I was born here!" The tree man said.

"Who of you here?" Wen Bufan asked again.

"No one is in charge, there is nothing to do on weekdays, and the older people can solve it." The tree man said.

"Can we go and see where you live?" Isabel said.

"Good!" The tree man led Wen Bufan and them on, and came to the location of the houses, which were all made of wood, and it seemed that there had been a certain amount of time. The doors of the houses are not locked, some doors and windows are open, you can clearly see the inside from the outside, the furnishings inside are basically the same, the tables, chairs and benches, extremely simple score, there are only a few old people in the village along the way, it seems that other people are busy in the fields.

"You're all the people here?" Wen Bufan asked.

"Yes! Just us, there are more than a dozen of us in the mountains, and they look similar to us! The tree man said.

"You've always lived here? Haven't been out yet? Wen Bufan asked again.

"We haven't gone out, we can't get out, and when we get out of the Silent Forest, we all have to be silent!" The tree man said.

It turned out to be like this, Wen Bufan thought in his heart, and then thought again, I didn't see a single soldier along the way, is there no army here?

"You don't usually have anyone to protect here?" Wen Bufan asked again.

"Protection? What to protect? We're all very nice here. The tree man said.

Wen Bufan looked at the tree man, and then at the people who were busy in the fields in the distance, it was really difficult to connect them with the vicious bloodthirsty alien race outside.

As soon as he arrived here, Wen Bufan felt the peace here, wouldn't it be better if the bloodthirsty aliens outside could live and work in peace and contentment like the people here.

"Listen to you, have any of you been out?" Isabel asked.

"Hmmm! I heard from my ancestors that some people didn't want to live here, so they left here, but I don't know if they came out of the silent forest. The ancestors didn't mention it either. The tree man said.

"Oh!" Wen Bufan said: "Then we won't bother." With that, he took Isabel and prepared to leave.

"Would you like to eat here?" The tree man said suddenly.

Wen Bufan looked up and saw that it was already a little early, and the people who were busy in the fields in the distance had already gone back in twos and threes.

"Then bother!" Wen Bufan said.

"It's fine!" The tree man said, "My house is in front, you come with me." ”

Coming to the tree man's house, after a while, the tree man served rice, each of them was a big bowl, Wen Bufan looked at it, the thing in the bowl was like sorghum rice. It tastes pretty good. The tree man didn't say anything polite, but said, "You eat first." Then he went into the back room, and after a while he came out again, picked up his food, and began to eat, and ate quickly.

Wen Bufan and Isabel have been relying on Jushui Dan for several days to sustain themselves, and they haven't eaten much, and their food is also very sweet.

"Why did you go back to the Silent Forest today?" After eating, Wen Bufan looked at the tree man and said.

"Wait for Abba!" The tree man said.

Wen Bufan noticed that this tree man should not be very old, and he seemed to be the only one in the family.

"Your Abba?" Wen Bufan asked.

"The villagers say that my Abba has probably gone to the Silent Forest!" The tree man said: "So every day after work, I will look for it, today I heard a sound, so I thought about going over to have a look, but I didn't expect to meet you." ”

"Didn't you say ......" Wen Bufan thought about it and didn't say the second half of the sentence,

"No, it won't!" Although Wen Bufan didn't say it, the tree man still understood, "I've been looking for a long time, and there is no Abba in the silent forest!" ”

"You'll find it!" Isabel said, "Do you remember when your Abba left? ”

"I remember when I was young, one day a stranger suddenly came to the house and talked to Abba for a long time, and Abba disappeared that night! Grandma is sick too! The Treant said.

"Your grandma hasn't been well?" Isabel asked.

The treant nodded.

Isabel said, "Can you take me to meet your grandma?" ”

The Treant looked at Isabel and nodded.
