Brother Shizuda, it's about the forest behind our village. Is it true?

What's the matter, Dato?

It's about the immortal grandfather who lives in the forest behind our village. The elders said that if they met Grandpa That person will be lucky. Ask for anything. I really want to meet that grandfather.

Do you believe that, Dato? There hasn't been a grandfather since I was born. And it's dangerous in the forest. You absolutely must not go in. If you happen to get lost in the forest You're going to be in trouble. And another thing: none of us can be immortal. A person whose life is immortal There are probably only gods. It's getting late, Dato.

Hurry and get dressed for school. I'll send you off first.

Sigh…. I don't want to think about it if my younger sibling believed such a thing and went into his mouth alone. What will it be like? Dato is a gullible child. I'll have to keep an extra eye on him. The weather looks gloomy today. It's definitely going to rain again soon. I'd better prepare an umbrella. I hurriedly brought Dato.

Leaving home to go to school On the way to school It's houses of people alternating with trees. Along the way, most of the trees in my village are trees the size of 5 people. Because the trees here have been around longer than my village. So it's not strange that there are stories like this. But among all the big trees

There will be one growing in the middle of the road. Located in a roundabout at the end of the village. How big am I? Every time I walk past it I'm still afraid of it all. Even more people in the village wrapped ropes around the trees. It's even more creepy. While walking to school People in the village greeted me and my sister as usual. I didn't notice anything until I walked for a while. The rain began to fall.

I picked up an umbrella and spread it out. Then I called Dato. I was told to stay in the shade, but I turned around and Dato was no longer there. I hurriedly shouted his name.

“Dato”……….."Dato"…………. Where are you?

I tried to walk towards Dato for a while and was shocked because I saw Dato standing at that big tree.

Hey…… Dato, what are you doing? Why don't you follow me? It's starting to rain.

I'm sorry, sir. Just then, I saw my grandfather at the grocery store. I hear you calling my name. So I thought if there was anything or went to look for it.

So why are you standing in that tree?

Well, the grandpa from the grocery store said Let me stand here and wait for you.

So….. Hurry and follow me quickly. It's going to rain even harder. I'm wondering the same thing. What would the person at the grocery store call my younger brother to talk about? So I turned to look at that tree again. But I didn't see anyone there. So I told Dato some rules.

Hey Dato, I'll tell you what to press. You must do as I say unconditionally, do you understand? 1. Do not go into the forest alone. 2. Do not go near the big trees. 3. If it is evening, do not walk near the trees at all.

Why?

You don't have to ask, trust me, I understand. And about the grandfather in the forest. Don't believe this at all, and accept things from strangers. That morning I finished sending Dato to class. That whole day I couldn't help but worry about Dato. Dato was quite a naughty boy. And then that evening I also heard the news that Dato

He went to play in the forest behind the village. In the evening, on returning home, I went to pick up Dato as usual. So I learned that Dato and his friend were together. Go play in the scary forest behind the village. I was shocked that he didn't believe me. And stubborn to go in again, but right now I'm very worried about him. Until I couldn't get angry at him.

I was afraid that if he went in he would encounter some dangerous beast in the forest. It's not a village story. When I found out about it I hurriedly ran to that forest. And now the sun is starting to hit the horizon. But there was still some light from the sun shining down to show the way. So I used my cell phone and picked it up.

Turn on the flashlight mode to provide more light. I started walking into the forest. The weather at that time was starting to get cold. Then an eerie silence began to take over. I tried to call Dato's name. Periodically But it didn't use much noise. Because I knew that in the forest when it was dark it was the time of the wild animals. to hunt for food

This period is therefore quite a dangerous time. While walking towards Dato, I felt like I heard someone's voice from the forest. I stopped walking and stood still for a moment. To hear what that sound is Or what exactly? I stood still and heard the sound more and more clearly. I listened and it was the sound of people crying and sobbing.

The sound started coming closer and closer to me. I picked up the phone and shone the light in the direction of the cries. The shadow of a small figure began to appear. Keep coming closer So I called out my name.

“Dato”…….. Is that you?

The shadow didn't answer me at all. But that shadow started running towards me faster than before. Until it reached me And that shadow hugged me and looked up. That face was covered with tears. And the face was afraid of something until he was frightened. That shadow was Dato's friend named Kanta. So I asked where Dato was.

Kanta… And Dato, came to play with you, right? Where is he?

It's me and the shooting star. I want to prove the story of the village. The story of an old man in the forest So we brought them together to this forest. At first, I thought he would come in for just a moment. But while looking for an old man, when he couldn't find him, Dato and I agreed that We were about to turn back, but there was a wolf staring at me and Dato, while the wolf would jump in.

There was an old man who threw a lump at the wolf. Until it ran away

So what happened next? Why did you run alone?

After that That old man invited me and Dato to sit and talk for a while. The old man said that he would send him, but Dato asked, Is Grandpa the grandpa of our village's story? If I meet my grandfather, will I be lucky? Can I ask for anything? The old man replied:

That matter……. Is it still there? It's been a long time. You think I'm that old man? If you want anything It must be exchanged. Nothing comes for free. I've lived my life like that. And just now I saved the two of you. There must be something to exchange. village stories

The story is about an old man who lives in the forest behind the village. I am the one who has gotten to this point. I came looking for it in this forest and still haven't found it. So I want to be that old man myself. But I want eternal life according to legend And the only thing that will continue to live You have to eat new life……. Wait a minute, they're not going anywhere.

At that time, I turned to look at that old man. He stood behind Dato. His expression looked very scary. Then he came with an axe. I was so shocked I ran away. Dato tried to run after me. But that old man Pulled Dato's arm. So I ran away alone.

When you know about the event I had Kanta give me directions. As I neared the point where Kanta had told me, I heard Dato's voice. call my name I ran until I saw Dato. What I saw He was an old man. He looked like someone who had lived in the forest for a long time. Until his condition was almost normal, that old man turned and smiled at me. And in that old man's hand It was strangling Dato. I was silent for a moment.

and decided to go in and help But while I was thinking Another old man's voice appeared. It was something deep and firm and cold, saying,

"I'm the one in this forest's story. I'm taking care of you, the fake person. What will you do?"

Then a tall man with white hair walked out. I'm calmer than before. Because I don't think The story that is said It will really exist….
