On this side, Blue, who felt that he had discovered the truth, was rarely angry.
He was angry that his unreliable tribesmen had just abandoned the child in the forest. If he hadn't been curious about the strange magical fluctuations, he would have gone to check it out.
And seeing that the child was alone, she looked so pitiful. If they brought her back, this white and tender little ball would surely be taken away by the wild beasts in the forest.
Tree people usually don't have big mood swings, but this time Blue was really angry, so angry that his entire tree body was shaking.
I wish I could personally find that unreliable, heartless member of the tribe who abandoned his child, and give him a good beating.
Irene didn't know why Blue was suddenly so excited, and just checked the status of the light ball from time to time.
Seeing that the ball of light finally faded, he poked Blue, who was still angry, and said, "Hey, old friend, the ball of light that wrapped the little baby has finally dissipated. Let's go."
Blue finally came to his senses, calmed himself, looked at the little baby on the leaf with complicated eyes, and said to Irene, "Irene, we must treat this child well. She is a pitiful child. It is our people who have let her down."
Erin: “What?”
But Blue didn't say anything else. Instead, he walked forward and gently picked up the sleeping Lingling, then gestured for Irene to leave with him.
After returning to the tree nursery and placing Lingling in the tree basket, Irene finally couldn't hold it in any longer and asked, "Blue, what did you just say?"
Blue sighed and expressed his guess: "We just saw it. This child can inherit our clan's heritage. What does this mean? It means she is one of our clan."
"Over the years, many of our people have traveled outside, and this child has human blood. So it can only be that a member of our tribe conceived a child with a human outside, and then irresponsibly abandoned the child outside our territory."
"Ah!" Irene was shocked. "Which tribe member did this? This is too abominable!"
Blue had no idea which tribe member it was. On the way back, he had calmed down again. He looked at Lingling, who was sleeping soundly, with distressed eyes and said softly, "We don't know who it is yet, and we can't track her down. Her parents are irresponsible, so we can only be twice as good to this child."
"Don't worry, I will." Irene replied firmly.
As soon as he finished speaking, Lingling woke up.
After all, she had just taken a nap at noon and was not surrounded by the wood element in all directions, so not long after being put down, she rubbed her eyes, stretched her arms and legs, and woke up.
"Ahh~", Lingling first declared her presence.
Seeing two familiar elders in front of her, Lingling was very happy and just wanted to hug them to express her affection.
Suddenly, I felt my whole body getting hot, as if I were put into hot water, and then my sight kept lowering, lowering...
"Lingling!" Bai Jiu, who had not yet woken up from hibernation, exclaimed in surprise, watching the fair and tender little baby turn into a sapling.
It really was just a small seedling, only about 20 centimeters tall, with a body as thick as a pen core, and its roots were twisted like human feet with their feet turned outward, standing tremblingly in the basket.
On the little body are two thin branches with green leaves on them, as soft as a vine, and it seems that they will collapse in the next second due to lack of strength.
Blue and Irene looked at the "tree transformation" scene in front of them with a little shock, but they regained their composure after a while. This was exactly what they had imagined just now, so they didn't lose their composure too much.
On the other hand, Bai Jiu, looking at the two calm tree people in front of him, was filled with big question marks in his system???
He was certain Lingling was a purebred human, so how could his cub turn into a sapling after inheriting a legacy? Was there some misunderstanding here???
"Sha~" The sound of leaves swaying gently was heard, and Bai Jiu finally came back to his senses and asked Lingling, "Baby, do you feel uncomfortable after becoming a sapling?"
"Rustle~ (No~) Sha~ (So good~)" The lively Lingling responded to Bai Jiu with actions, shaking the few small leaves to make a rustling sound, and trying to jump forward in the basket, showing an attitude of learning to walk before learning to crawl, and then fell softly on the soft leaves underneath.
"Sha~ (roar, play~)" Lingling smiled foolishly at her parents in the posture of falling.
Blu, Irene, Bai Jiu... Their hearts skipped a beat as they watched the little creature fall. However, as they watched the small branch still swaying at an extremely fast frequency after the fall, they smiled with a mixture of helplessness and doting.
At this time, while the three parents were not paying attention, a long branch stretched out from the side of the basket, quickly and accurately wrapped around Lingling several times, and then rolled Lingling away with a "whoosh".
By the time Blue and Irene reacted, they saw Lingling had been surrounded by the five saplings in the tree nursery. To avoid crowding the little one, they thoughtfully left enough space for Lingling to move around.
Lingling couldn't stand up yet. It was the first time in her two lives that she was a tree, no, a seedling. She lay leisurely on the ground, looking at the five little friends who surrounded her, and shook her small branches as a greeting.
The five saplings were all baby boys from the tree people. They were so excited to see the little sister greeting them.
They knew their sister couldn't speak, so they shook their branches in response, completely ignoring Blue and Irene who were chasing after them, and their eyes were only on their little sister.
Seeing that Lingling was fine, Blue and Irene did not blame the little tree people who had just recklessly swept Lingling away. They just stood aside and watched the little tree people with a smile.
The tree people have always been united and friendly. As a baby from outside, it is a good thing for Lingling to integrate into the new generation of tree people as soon as possible. Therefore, the adult tree people will not stop them from communicating with each other, but will welcome it.
After standing there for a while, they saw that the little tree people didn't even look at them. They looked at each other helplessly and tacitly went out to do their own things.
Seeing Lingling still lying on the ground, the five little tree people, one by one, stretched out a branch and the other a leaf to help Lingling stand up.
Thinking that they were the older brothers, they proudly took over the task of teaching their younger sister to walk, otherwise their younger sister would have to lie down all the time and not be able to play with them.
Lingling was helped up with a confused look on her face. Her slender legs were too weak to move, and she tried to walk tremblingly with the support of her brothers. She almost fell to the ground several times, but was always held firmly by her brothers.
But this made Lingling perk up. Since she didn't have to worry about falling, she put all her strength into moving her slender legs forward. Her brothers also hurriedly protected their sister.
After all, Lingling was already three years old in her previous life, and was already a little baby who could walk. After nearly half an hour of crazy practice, to everyone's surprise, Lingling could already walk with her tiny feet. Although it was still a little unstable, she could indeed walk.
So, after finishing their work, Blue and Irene returned to the tree nursery and saw a small sapling swaying towards them.
