Chapter 58 My Partner is Fruit 3
The man followed suit and quickly broke the tree trunk into even lengths, then began to build a shelter, as if he intended to live there permanently.
As soon as the shelter was set up, the man stood up and looked down the slope, his expression wary.
Yunzhen quickly shifted her gaze to that direction as well.
Based on past timing, it should be Sugi arriving.
Sure enough, before long, Shan appeared outside the dense forest.
It seems this man has a keen sense of perception; he can sense someone approaching from this distance.
Sugi clearly noticed the man's presence, but instead of showing any wariness, he grinned, clearly happy.
He stopped at a distance that was neither too close nor too far, and said loudly:
“I am Nannan’s father, and I have come to bring her growth sap.”
After saying that, he raised the wooden bucket in his hand.
The man's gaze was fixed on the bucket. He sniffed it deeply, his expression gradually softening. He shifted his body slightly, gesturing for Shan to come closer, but his eyes remained fixed on him. If Shan made the slightest move, he would immediately launch an attack.
Shan didn't mind at all, acting as if it were nothing out of the ordinary.
He looked around, nodded in satisfaction, then quickly poured the growth solution from the bucket onto the roots of Yunzhen, and returned to his original position.
"Congratulations on your successful arrival and becoming Nannan's guardian. Come back to the village with me to learn how to make growth fluid and insect repellent. From now on, Nannan will be in your care."
The man didn't move, stubbornly standing guard in front of Yunzhen.
Sugi: "Don't worry, there are always people guarding the perimeter. Wild animals and people without permission can't get in. You went into the dense forest just now, did you find any traces of wild animals?"
Now that you're here, I won't be taking care of Nannan anymore. From now on, taking care of Nannan is your responsibility, so you must go back to the village and learn how to take better care of her.
After pondering for a while, the man finally agreed in a deep voice: "Okay."
"Master, I'll go back with my father first, and I'll be back to you soon."
He said this to Yunzhen, and reluctantly left with Shan.
Yunzhen finally understood something from Shan's words.
So this man was her guardian? He must have some inherited memories, otherwise he wouldn't have acted like an adult from birth and started taking care of her, building shelters and such.
However, this memory is probably not comprehensive, only involving the understanding of the relationship between the fruit and the tree.
It's likely that the original owner also had inherited memories, but the original owner had already disappeared when she arrived, so she didn't receive those inherited memories.
A few hours later, the man appeared alone carrying a wooden bucket, but Sugi never reappeared.
Clearly, he had completely handed over the responsibility of taking care of Yunzhen to the man.
The man was also very dedicated. After finishing his work, he would stay under the cloud-like tree to keep her company. He didn't go home at night, but instead went into the shelter he had built.
Unlike cedar trees, which only appear when watered with growth regulators and insect repellents daily, they return directly to the village at other times.
Yunzhen actually wanted to get more information from the man, but he was very taciturn and said less than ten sentences all day.
Yunzhen had no choice but to suppress her thoughts and wait for the transformation to take human form.
In the following days, Yunzhen needed more growth fluid, and one of the fruits on the branch turned bright red again.
He then broke free from the branch and fell to the ground.
With a 'crack', a white light flashed, and another man appeared in the same spot.
This man has more refined features, a handsome face, and a lean and well-proportioned physique, making him a different type of handsome man from the first one.
Upon seeing this, the first man simply tossed over a grass skirt he had woven beforehand.
He grinned and quickly wrapped the grass skirt around his waist.
"Big brother."
The first man nodded: "Go back to the village first, learn how to take care of your master, and then come back."
"good."
The man quickly ran away following the directions he was given.
Even after the two fruits were born, the area under Yunzhen's tree remained very quiet.
The two men rarely communicated unless absolutely necessary, and they even built two shelters.
The two of them do compete when it comes to work, but how much work can you do taking care of just one tree?
So most of the time the two of them sat under the tree, occasionally getting up to patrol around.
Next, the remaining three fruits fell to the ground at a rate of one every two days, and then transformed into handsome men.
Perhaps because they were born from the same tree, the five men all look similar to each other to varying degrees, but each has their own unique features.
The third brother had a face like white jade, a handsome and refined appearance, gentle eyes and brows, a tall and upright figure, and a warm and gentle temperament.
The fourth brother looked more rugged, with a well-defined face that exuded determination, deep and sharp eyes, a straight spine, and a tall and robust physique.
The fifth one looks much more sunny, with bright, clear eyes like stars, and a healthy, vibrant wheat-colored complexion, making him look youthful and radiant.
The moment Lao Wu landed, a sudden realization dawned on Yun Zhen. She felt as if her hard bark was slowly softening, and her branches were stretching and twisting.
In the blink of an eye, the original tree shape disappeared, replaced by a graceful human figure.
She was stunningly beautiful, with a lovely and affectionate face.
Yunzhen looked down at her body, her excitement evident.
She has finally regained her human form, that's wonderful.
Several men were stunned for a moment, then, regaining their senses, they surrounded the group, calling out repeatedly:
"Owner."
"Congratulations, Master, on your successful human transformation."
The leader quickly took out an animal hide from the shelter and wrapped it around Yun Zhen's body. Then he gently tied a rope woven from vines around her waist to ensure that the hide would not slip off.
As for the fifth brother who had just landed, no one paid him any attention. He was still naked and excitedly surrounding Yun Zhen.
Yunzhen found it a bit cringeworthy, looked away, and said to the old man, "Give him a grass skirt."
The eldest son naturally obeyed and took out another grass skirt and threw it over.
The fifth brother took it and wrapped it around his waist, grinning broadly with his big white teeth: "Thank you, Master."
The second brother asked, "Master, shall we go back to the tribe first?"
The others were not to be outdone.
"Yes, Master, the environment here is terrible. It's too unfair for you to stay here."
“Your father said he has prepared accommodation for you in advance, and you can move in as soon as you return to the village.”
“I also learned how to make barbecue from my father. When we get back, I will barbecue it for my master.”
"..."
"Stop! All of you shut up."
Yunzhen felt like five hundred ducks were chattering in her ears, so she quickly told them to stop.
"What are your names? Let me get to know you all."
The group paused, exchanged glances, and finally the leader spoke:
"Master, you were the one who named us, so...don't you want to give us names?"
The leader spoke with difficulty, and the others all looked fearful.
Naming them is proof of the master's approval. If the master does not name them, it means that he does not approve of them and does not allow them to exist as followers, not to mention anything else.
