Chapter 1018 Human Touch
Distracted by this, Lin Wanrong calmed down a bit, sniffed, and said, "Someone is speaking up for us, so we must live well, live strong and hard, and live better than anyone else."
“Woof woof…”
Seeing that those who were terrified of mutated plants and animals turned their guns on Ye Wanxi, some anti-fans and online trolls also took the opportunity to stir up trouble, mocking Ye Wanxi for becoming arrogant after becoming famous and daring to say such things, not afraid of being banned.
Lin Wanrong bit her lip, then hugged Banban and recorded a video, which she then posted online.
In the video, Lin Wanrong briefly explained her and her dog's identities, thanked Ye Wanxi for saving her and her dog, and emphasized that when the mutated banyan tree attacked the residents of the community, it was her mutated dog that protected her.
As a result, her dog was seriously injured. So not all mutated plants and animals will attack people; some mutated plants and animals will actually protect people.
Unlike her previous indifference, as soon as Lin Wanrong posted this video, many residents of the community immediately came forward to testify on her behalf.
[I can testify to this. Xiaorong's dog has been with her for several years, and they have a very close relationship. On the day of the incident, Xiaorong saved my grandson, and the dog mutated to protect her. After mutating, it immediately rushed over and bit a banyan tree branch, saving Xiaorong and my grandson. This is all true.]
【We can also testify that we were terrified when we saw that mutated banyan tree. Everyone wanted to run downstairs, but if we ran outside, we would be caught. Staying at home wasn't safe either, as the banyan tree was so big that it could easily break down a door and injure someone. It was Xiaorong's dog that bought us time, allowing us to stay safely at home.】
"That's right, if it weren't for Xiao Rong's mutated dog entangled in those banyan branches, we wouldn't have been able to hold out until someone came to rescue us. Those bastards not only weren't grateful, but they also made those callous remarks; they're truly heartless."
Miss Ye is right, not all mutations are bad. Xiao Rong's dog was our savior; to be harmed after saving someone is no different from being an animal. I strongly disagree with you harming Xiao Rong's dog.
I disagree as well.
The rows of residents were all there to support Lin Wanrong, which made her eyes even redder.
However, when others saw these comments, they felt that these people all used similar rhetoric and might have made them up, so they didn't completely believe them.
Those who attacked the mutated plants and animals, as well as Ye Wanxi, especially disbelieved it completely, thinking that they were simply misleading the public and had ulterior motives.
But shortly after that, the official account released a video, even using a sensationalist style that was completely out of character.
#Shocking! A "beating willow" has been discovered in a small mountain village in L province!#
Many people's hearts skipped a beat when they saw this headline, thinking that a harmful mutant plant had also appeared in L province.
Many people gloated, believing that the official account's release of such a video at this time was a deliberate slap in the face to Ye Wanxi.
It's worth noting that Ye Wanxi was highly regarded by the authorities before, and several of her resources had the influence of the government.
Being proven wrong at this point precisely shows that she has fallen out with the authorities, and a ban is just around the corner.
However, when they clicked on the video, it was completely different from what they had imagined!
The willow tree in the video is indeed a mutated plant, and it did indeed hurt people, but compared to the mutated plants they mentioned before, it had more... humanity.
That’s right, it’s human touch.
The willow tree in the video is located at the entrance of a small mountain village in L province. Because the village is relatively remote and sparsely populated, and is surrounded by mountains and water, other mutated plants and animals soon set their sights on them.
In other remote mountain villages, such a situation would likely have resulted in the complete annihilation of the inhabitants.
Unexpectedly, the big willow tree at the entrance of the village also mutated and became the guardian of their entire village.
When mutated plants arrive, it attacks; when mutated animals arrive, it attacks; when those with impure motives try to take advantage of the chaos to steal money, things, and children from the village, it attacks even more fiercely!
The video, which is a few minutes long, consists of several high-energy clips in the first half showing the mutated willow tree beating up the uninvited guests, and the second half showing some villagers chatting and smiling under the willow tree in front of the camera.
"This willow tree in our village has been planted for forty or fifty years. It's been here since my grandfather's generation. It's right in the middle of the village. It can be considered a landmark of our village."
“Our village is small and remote, with not many places to play. When we were kids, everyone loved to come here to climb the trees and play under them. We have a deep affection for this tree. As the tree gets older, it gets sick easily. A few years ago, it got some kind of insect disease that I don’t know what it was called and it almost died. The villagers couldn’t bear to see it like that, so they asked someone to buy medicine from outside and that’s how it was cured.”
"Yes, back then everyone thought it was a shame that the tree, which was quite old, died from disease, so we went to great lengths to spray it with medicine. Looking back now, we're so glad we cured it back then, otherwise, how could the people in our village be so carefree now?"
"Isn't that right? That's what they call good deeds being rewarded. If you treat it well, it will treat you well in return. A few days ago, a thief broke into the village. He not only stole money and jewelry, but also children. If it weren't for this old willow tree in our village spotting him when he came out and tying him up, who knows what might have happened!"
“That child belongs to Grandma Liu. All the young people in her family have gone out to work, leaving only her and her three-year-old grandson at home. Luckily, they were found. Otherwise, Grandma Liu is so old, and if she were to feel sad and guilty, she might have completely collapsed.”
“What a tragedy! These human traffickers should be executed! Doing such despicable things, they'll definitely be boiled in oil in hell. Luckily, our village has the old willow tree. Now that everyone's busy, they all like to send their children here. With the old willow tree, this is the safest place for us.”
As soon as they finished speaking, the scene shifted, and several children dressed in brightly colored clothes were running and chasing each other happily under the willow tree, shouting loudly.
Sunlight falls on the willow trees, casting sparse shadows. A gentle breeze stirs the willow branches, causing them to sway softly. The shadows falling on the children also sway from side to side, like a large hand gently caressing and protecting them.
This scene undoubtedly struck a chord with many people and overturned many people's preconceived notions about mutant plants.
Before this, the mutated plants they envisioned were ugly, ferocious, and bloody, ruthlessly reaping human lives and attacking ordinary people who were powerless to even kill a chicken; they were terrifying and hateful.
But the mutated plants in the video showed them another possibility: that mutated plants could also be so kind, beautiful, and harmless.
