"Grandpa Sean, can you give me an apple?"
A clear voice sounded, and a child with braids ran up to Sean, looking at the glowing red apples on the apple tree, full of longing.
Hearing this, Xiao En stretched his rusty body, stretched out his hand tremblingly, picked a fruit from the apple tree, and handed it to the child.
"Thank you, Grandpa Sean."
After taking the apple, the child narrowed his happy eyes, and then ran away with joyful laughter.
Seeing the figure of the child running away, he retracted his gaze and dragged his old body, Xiao En continued what he had done before, and continued to check the situation of the orchard.
After staying in this inexplicable place for a while, Sean has already figured out the situation around him very clearly. The place he is now is called Kahn Village. People grow apples for a living, and the apples they produce are big and sweet. Although life is not considered rich, food and clothing are not a problem. However, this situation has changed now. A sudden disease has swept through Kahn Village. The apple trees withered in patches. This year and even in the future, life in Karn Village seemed to be a problem.
"This disease is actually a kind of aphid. Although I have lost my extraordinary power now, it is not impossible to solve it, but the most important thing now is to prevent it and save the remaining fruit trees."
Thoughts turned in his mind, and Sean had an idea in his mind.
Although he doesn't know what this test is about, and there is no clear reminder, Xiao En believes that he must have something to accomplish when he comes here.
Xiao En shared the anti-pest medicines with stone grasses to the people in the village, and as a price, the people in the village needed to help him spray these medicines on the orchard.
Then the disaster came as expected in the second year, but it was more complicated than the first year. Of course, at this time, Sean had recovered a little bit of extraordinary power, although it was only a negligible point.
With extraordinary power and a little effort, Sean successfully resolved the disaster in the second year, but I don't know why this extraordinary power can only be used to target plants and cannot cause harm to people.
Then came the third year, the fourth year, and the fifth year. Every year, the disasters became more and more weird, involving all aspects of knowledge. Fortunately, after spending a lot of effort, Sean passed the test smoothly, and During this process, Sean also became the most famous person in Kahn Village. It can be said that everyone in the village has received his favor.
Time passed year after year, when the old man passed away and the children grew up, Sean planted a special apple tree in his yard, it was full of golden apples, not the color was golden, but Yes it is gold.
Facing such a fruit tree, many people moved their minds, and soon someone came to the door, saying that he couldn't live anymore, and hoped that Xiao En could give him a golden apple.
Facing such a request, Sean agreed and picked a golden apple for him from the apple tree with a smile.
If there is one, there are two. More and more people asked Sean for golden apples. At first, they were relatively restrained. Basically, everyone only wanted one, and then they asked for more and more.
When the last golden apple was picked from the tree, someone finally set his sights on the fruit tree. He asked Sean to give him the fruit tree. This person thought that Sean would not agree and was ready to kill Sean. , but Xiao En agreed with a smile in his surprised eyes.
He gave his house to that person, packed up his things briefly, and walked out of Kahn Village. He was alone, and no one came to see him off, and no one came to keep him until he was about to walk out. At the border of the village.
"Grandpa Sean, are you leaving?"
The crisp voice sounded behind Sean, it was the child who asked Sean for red apples back then, but the little girl back then has grown up now.
"Yes."
He stopped, turned around, and Sean looked at the girl and said.
"Grandpa Sean, don't you feel bad for giving all the golden apples to other people?"
With her eyes wide open, the girl asked again.
Hearing this, Sean smiled and shook his head.
"Little girl, do you want golden apples too?"
This time, the little girl shook her head.
"Grandpa Sean, I heard that the nobles in the city already know about the Golden Apple. Do you think the people in the village will be in danger?"
Just as the little girl was speaking, a group of robbers had rushed into Karn Village from another direction.Killing, ignoring the village name's begging for mercy at all, there were screams in Kahn Village for a while.
"Grandpa Sean, can you save them?"
An anxious look appeared on her face, and the little girl asked Xiao En for help.
"I can't save them. When they are looking for golden apples, they should consider whether they have the ability to keep this wealth. This is their own choice."
Shaking his head, Sean gave a negative answer.
Hearing this, the girl's complexion became extremely pale.
"I can't save those greedy people, but I can save you. Do you want to come with me?"
Looking at the girl, Sean asked a question, then turned and left without waiting for the girl's answer, but this time Sean really walked out of Kahn Village, and was not stopped by the invisible boundary.
On the hillside, looking at the back of Xiao En going away, and looking at the blood and fire of Karn Village, the girl sighed, as if she was sighing for something.
"It's your choice to ignore it or not. Do you just want to be a passing passerby?"
··············
Hum, the space changed, and after stepping out of that invisible boundary, Sean returned to the old house he lived in before. There was a small yard here, and there was a luxuriant apple tree in the yard. Under the apple tree, there is a white-haired old man who is pruning the branches and leaves of the apple tree.
"Sit down, little guy."
After cutting off a branch, the old man turned around and said something to Sean, his face was exactly the same as when Sean was in Karn Village.
Hearing this, Sean glanced at the old man, walked to the slightly worn-out stone table under the apple tree and sat down.
"If she could see as clearly as you did back then, maybe she wouldn't have lived such a miserable life."
Walking to sit opposite Sean, the old man sighed.
Hearing this, Sean shook his head.
"It's different. Everyone has their own way of life, and there is no distinction between superior and inferior. If you are not her, how do you know that she will be happy after making a choice like mine?"
Hearing this, his eyes froze for a moment, and the old man sighed again.
"Yes, I am not her after all."
"So little guy, do you want an apple?"
After the old man's voice fell, an apple tree branch hung down, and there were three apples on it, namely golden apples, silver apples and green apples.
"You can choose one of these three apples."
With a hint of a smile, the old man said.
Hearing this, Sean didn't make a choice, but asked:
"Old man, may I choose the branch you cut off?"
Hearing this, the smile on the old man's face subsided, and he took a deep look at Xiao En.
"Little guy, those people in Karn Village were greedy for golden apples, so they all died. Don't you understand it?"
"Old man, I'm different from them. Greed is not wrong. Their fault is that they don't have the strength to match their greed."
Shaking his head, Sean did not change his choice.
Hearing this, the old man was silent for a while.
"Yeah, greed is not wrong, because excessive greed is the real greed."
As he spoke, the old man put the thumb-thick apple tree branch in front of Sean.
"Since you want it, I will give it to you."
Seeing the apple tree branch handed over by the old man, Sean took it without hesitation.
"and this."
Seeing Sean's neat movements, the old man picked off the three apples again and handed them to Sean, but this time Sean didn't take them.
Seeing such a scene, the old man spoke again.
"This is your reward, take care of her."
Hearing this, Sean's blue eyes could not hide the fluctuation.
"I will help you cover up the existence of golden apples and branches, but remember, unless you really have nowhere to go and want to take that step with external force, or you have already taken that step, otherwise don't Eat the golden apple, or die."
The old man's deep words seemed to ring in his ears, and the scene around Xiao En instantly became blurred. (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com - Didn't finish reading?
