Why, my good elder! The ancient tree was doomed wither, yet it came back to live, as hale as ever?
Why, my good elder! Strange things have occurred, but what is the cause, I'm left bewildered!
Twas a miracle of the Wishing Tree... Good Elder Li, Xiaohe Manor may yet live!
We have a miracle, but it's not the one we see right now.
I can't explain how the Wishing Tree came back to life, but I just remembered things... things that we had forgotten long ago.
There was a time when we wandered aimlessly in the mountains, till we saw this tree.
No one knew how its seed was brought to the wilderness. But when we first met the tree, its green buds had yet to fully sprout.
We were the ones who watered the tree and kept out the beasts. We made the decision to raise the sapling and build our village around it.
We conquered our own suffering ... yet somehow we ended up losing faith in ourselves.
So the Wishing Tree had always been tended by our own hands.
Since when had these hands learned only to ask for blessings?
My good people, I beg you again. Please stay here!
We can still fence the granary and build more waterwheels. There's still time and plenty to be done...
How could you be so certain that they would come to their senses? They might end up being further misled by false hopes.
I believe in them. At least I have faith in the Elder.
Actually, I've met many people like them...
The Wishing Tree or the PAC... They were never meant to be the miracle fix for every problem.
When they worked, it was because those who created and used them never gave up. They held onto hope.
If the villagers of Xiaohe Manor had heard you, they might have fixed the problem long ago.
Hmm. Everyone's getting busy, but why is Elder Li still looking troubled?
It was we alone who had always kept this village whole.
