Kui Kui squatted down, took Yun Ling, and said, "I'm sorry, I misunderstood you before."
As she spoke, she placed her right hand on the tree root, and a continuous stream of spiritual energy flowed into the old pine tree, transforming it into vitality.
Branches sprouted again from the bare tree trunk.
A voice that was neither male nor female echoed in Kui Kui's mind.
"You don't need to waste your spiritual energy. My roots are rotten, and this land can no longer nourish me to grow. All I want now is revenge! Please help me! I beg you, teacher!"
Lao Song awakened to the school environment, and in his mind, those who were more knowledgeable and capable than him were teachers.
Kui Kui was clearly taken aback when he heard this address.
After a three-second silence, she said, "Evil people should be punished, but you shouldn't give up on yourself either."
The old pine tree said helplessly, "I didn't want to either! You people have a saying, 'It's better to live a miserable life than to die a good death.' I also want to live. But the land I live on is gone, and my roots have rotted."
"When one path is blocked, perhaps you can try another. If you can't survive on this land, then move to another land; if the roots are rotten, then remove the rotten parts, and even if only one healthy root is left, it can still survive."
Old Song felt a jolt, as if a new world had opened up before him.
The ghost faces on the tree trunk kept bulging outwards, as if trying to break free of their shackles.
"Pop!"
A soft sound.
A tiny tree-man, about 30 centimeters tall, crawled out of the tree trunk.
He lifted up his two remaining tree roots, each with five rootlets, resembling human feet.
He looked at his two symmetrical branches again, and happily patted them, making a swishing sound.
Old Song touched his mouth and suddenly realized that he could speak!
He exclaimed with delight, "Teacher! I did it!"
Kui Kui smiled and said, "Let's go!"
Where to?
"Didn't you want revenge? Now that you have legs, you don't need to keep waiting for him at school."
"That's right!" Old Song made a happy expression.
Under the moonlight, a little tree-man grinned, his dark mouth wide open.
It's not cute at all, but rather nine parts creepy.
The current principal of Chunlei Primary School is surnamed Wang, and his given name is Song.
From the moment the incident occurred at the school, he used all his connections to conduct public relations and even showed concern for each of the victimized children's families immediately.
Everyone witnessed the evil of the perpetrator and the responsibility of the school principal, but no one noticed the severe shortage of security personnel at the school gate when the tragedy occurred.
Wang Song got out of the car, looking exhausted.
It had just rained last night, and the damp ground gleamed black under the white streetlights.
A bright yellow cartoon wallet lay quietly on the ground.
He frowned, looked around to make sure there was no one on the path and no surveillance cameras, then quickly walked to his wallet.
Wang Song looked around again, and after confirming that no one was around, he quickly stretched out a foot and stepped on the wallet.
He looked around again, and after some struggle, finally picked up the wallet.
He opened his wallet and saw that there was more than a thousand yuan in cash inside. His eyes widened in surprise, and most of his fatigue disappeared.
Wang Song said with delight, "The ancients were right! Good fortune may be a harbinger of misfortune, and misfortune may be a harbinger of good fortune. I just had a terrible run of bad luck, and then this windfall came my way."
He took out all the cash inside, and threw the bright yellow cartoon wallet into a nearby trash can.
Old Pine, lurking in the darkness, saw everything and cursed Wang Song for his shamelessness!
Even children know to return lost property, and Wang Song, who is the principal of a school, would still be greedy for such a small thing! He's insane!
He couldn't understand why his trip to seek revenge had turned into a donation.
As the old saying goes, one should not be ashamed to ask those who are less knowledgeable than oneself.
Old Song looked at Kui Kui beside him and asked, "Teacher, didn't you say you came to take revenge? Why did you put those three children's pocket money in front of Wang Song? Isn't that just rushing to give him money?"
"This isn't money, it's debt."
Old Pine nodded as if he understood, watching Wang Song disappear around the corner.
