The dishes are all served.
At Jiang Qin's request, Grandma Shu sat down with Su Mu and others.
"Mother-in-law, are you an original resident of the Imperial Capital?"
She asked tentatively, wanting to take the opportunity to get closer.
"No, I live in the countryside, old lady, from a small town near the imperial capital."
"Now that we have opened a small restaurant here, we have taken root."
Granny Shu smiled slightly and spoke happily.
"Is that so, where is your family?"
"Why didn't they come to help you? Isn't it easy for you to be responsible for an inn by yourself?"
Jiang Qin asked curiously.
This wasn't a question she planned to ask, it was just a casual comment.
It was also a doubt in her mind.
Although the small inn is not big, it is definitely not an easy task for an old man to run it, especially when the old man also serves as the chef.
She felt tired for her mother-in-law.
"Family..."
My mother-in-law's eyes seemed to have lost their luster.
But it soon returned to normal, with flashes of pastel colors.
"My husband died young. Over the years, it was me who raised our two children."
"Fortunately, the Holy Spirit now pays my husband's death pension every year. Otherwise, we orphans and widowed mothers would have been dumped in the wilderness long ago."
"After all these years, although it has been a bit harder, I can still survive... My two children are now serving in the military. Where can I find the time to come and help me, an old woman?"
Grandma Shu smiled softly, a flash of color flashed across her eyes, as if she was reminiscing about something, with a trace of imperceptible sadness.
"Your two children are now married and starting a business, so you don't need to work so hard to run an inn, right?"
"It's time to enjoy your blessings."
Jiang Qin felt a little distressed.
Girls are easier to empathize with.
"It's better to be busy, otherwise it would be boring for me, an old man living alone, to sit at home."
"It's better to be tired. At least you can save more money for my two children, right?"
"When I have children in the future, as a grandmother, I will also have savings to buy clothes and toys for my grandson."
Grandma Shu laughed and said.
Thinking of that beautiful scene, a look of happiness appeared on his face unconsciously.
"That's it..."
Hearing this, Jiang Qin no longer had any wariness towards the tree granny.
Isn't she just an ordinary old lady? What could be so strange about her?
Su Mu rubbed his eyebrows.
The empathy in Jiang Qin's eyes was too obvious, so he could completely guess what she was thinking.
If I didn't use the Eye of True Knowledge, I might be the same as her, not wary of the Tree Granny.
But now... knowing that there is a demon tree seed living in his body, and it may even be related to the demon Buddha, how can we take this lightly?
Maybe it was a secret plot arranged by the Great Demon Buddha.
Although he didn't know what the intention was, Su Mu had a vague sense of crisis.
You know...this is where the fate of the human race lies!
No room for error.
He is now serving as a member of the Der Spiegel Agency, and it is also within his scope of responsibility to monitor factors that cause instability.
"Mother-in-law, a few years ago... a Buddhist monk gave you a seed. It grew into a towering tree within three days. It is said to be very spiritual. We want to pray for blessings and make wishes. Do you know where the sacred tree is now?"
Su Mu asked straight to the point.
That tree definitely had a secret, so he was eager to know its whereabouts.
"Are you looking for the sacred tree?"
Grandma Shu narrowed her eyes.
She looked at it with some vigilance.
"Yes, the elders in my family are seriously ill, and there is no cure...I have no choice but to pray to God and worship Buddha."
"It is said that the emperor of Zhongzhou has a sacred tree, which is very efficacious, so I wanted to try it."
Su Mu sighed, looking sad.
Xiao Qian and others looked at each other, quite shocked.
Good guy.
This acting is good!
"You're a good boy."
Grandma Shu looked kind, but grief flashed in her eyes.
Su Mu caught this flash of emotion, and the idea in his heart became more and more certain.
He had wondered before.
Why does Granny Tree sit alone by the river?
And no one has ever seen her child?
Just after she heard that her children were serving in the military, an idea came to her.
Now I am becoming more enlightened.
The two children she mentioned...should have died in the battle, right?
However, Grandma Shu said that her child is still serving in the military?
This obviously conflicts with his ideas.
There was only one possibility that made sense... Grandma Shu didn't want to reveal to others that her child had died in the battle, so she hid it.
But why do this?
What else is hidden in this?
"Shu Granny... I know you planted that sacred tree with your own hands. You must know the whereabouts of the sacred tree, right?"
"For the sake of my filial piety, just tell me!"
"I want to pray for the elders in my family."
Su Mu's eyes were filled with tears, his eyes were red, and he was sobbing slightly.
A proper movie star level.
Although there are some loopholes between words and deeds, this is a trick to attack the heart. If your guess is not wrong, it may have a high chance of success.
"My child...it's not that I don't want to tell you, it's that I don't know the whereabouts of the sacred tree."
Grandma Shu looked a little unnatural.
It seemed that he wanted to reveal it to Su Mu, but he had some scruples.
"Mother-in-law... I know you must have something to hide."
"But for the sake of the elders in my family, I am willing to do anything, even to put myself in danger and risk my life!"
"If it's possible, please tell me..."
Su Mu looked sincere.
Paired with those red eyes, you should be as sincere as you want.
Jiang Qin and others on the side were stunned.
Even they couldn't figure out whether it was true or false.
The acting is indeed quite good.
"well."
Granny Tree sighed, with a hint of sadness in her expression, "My child... that sacred tree is actually useless, so why bother."
"Whether it works or not, this is my last straw."
Su Mu's eyes gradually became firm.
"All right……"
After struggling for a long time, Grandma Shu looked at Su Mu with soft eyes.
It's like seeing myself many years ago.
"My child, if you really want to find the sacred tree, you must be prepared to die."
"And...the sacred tree cannot really make your wishes come true."
"You have to be mentally prepared for this."
Grandma Shu ordered.
She should know something or she wouldn't be saying this.
Su Mu became serious, "No matter what, you have to give it a try!"
Grandma Shu nodded and said nothing, but her eyes were a little deep.
There was a long silence.
"The sacred tree is in the restricted area."
A voice sounded.
Su Mu looked at Grandma Shu with a little surprise.
Xiao Qian, Ye Feng and others were also shocked.
restricted area?
If this is true, the sacred tree may not be found!
