However, someone didn't go. That was Wei Shengli!
Wei Shengli had also fainted from his fatigue. However, after waking up, he immediately returned to the site of the fire. He sat on a tree stump that had been chopped. He looked ahead, pressed his palms together and prayed silently.
At this moment, a small hand pressed onto Wei Shengli's shoulder. It was Wei Xiaolin.
Wei Xiaolin whispered, "Dad, don't think about it. They will grow again next spring."
Wei Shengli shook his head and said, "The trees can grow again, but I don't know how many years it will take to grow to their former heights. I wonder if I can see it again in my lifetime."
