don't go near that tree

Chapter 12

The sky is bright.

Wu Chun followed his grandfather and set off for the market in the next village.

There is a lot of dew in summer, Wu Chun tied plastic bags on his feet before departure.

Grandpa's original words were like this, "The village next door is very far away, we have to walk along the path, which is full of grass, at this point, I'm afraid your feet will be uncomfortable."

Because of the mountainous area, the distance between the villages is a bit far. Each village has a market every four days. Most of the vehicles are vehicles with large models. There is a giant wheel in the middle, and the rest of the place is made of wood. Two large Kuanglou made of wooden strips can be placed on both sides of the wheel. A hemp rope is tied to the handlebars, and the hands hold the two handlebars, and the hemp rope is placed behind the neck.

They want to start from home before dawn, push the things from Liangkuanglou, rush to the timely place, set up a stall, and wait for someone to go shopping.

"Can this really work?"

Wu Chun touched the back of his neck unconsciously, and after just two glances, his neck felt a little painful.

"Yes, it's easy." Grandpa said, and from time to time, he kindly helped the passing cars pull the car.

Wu Chun followed behind with a small bag on his back.

He originally wanted to go up to help, but after the man sized him up, he smiled and declined Wu Chun's kindness.

"This is my grandson, who has been admitted to university."

"That's it." The man suddenly realized, "It's good to be admitted to university. You don't have to suffer this kind of hardship after you get admitted to university. Sitting in the office, the money will come. What does the child want to do in the future?"

"Being a teacher."

Before Wu Chun could speak, his grandfather answered him one step ahead of him.

Wu Chun curled his lips and said nothing. He didn't have a clear idea of ​​the future. Wu Chun had thought about what he would do. His father worked in a factory and his mother was a teacher.

Perhaps because she is a teacher, Wu Chun's mother hoped that Wu Chun could also be a teacher, and she instilled this idea in Wu Chun since she was a child, so that the schools Wu Chun applied for the college entrance examination were all normal schools.

Wu Chun put his hands in his pockets, he could vaguely see Shili Mountain when he turned his head, and Wu Chun unconsciously had a smile on his face.

"Chunchun, follow up."

"coming."

Wu Chun responded, glanced at the top of the mountain again, turned around and followed.

The sun is creeping out of the mountains...

This is not Wuchun’s first time going to the market. When he was young, he came to the market several times with his grandfather. Although they are in different villages, the market is generally the same. The food area, fabric area, vegetable area, fruit area, clothes and shoes, etc. Some market snacks.

At this moment, Wu Chun sat down at a stall of boiled buns.

There is a big stove next to it. The person who burns the fire is holding an iron grill and pushing the corn stalks next to it. The flames are burning brightly. There is a big table not far from the stove, and a person is sitting on one side. Auntie, one is in charge of rolling the skin and the other is in charge of bagging. There is a big stuffing pot in front of me. There seem to be three kinds of stuffing in it.

"What does Chunchun eat?"

Wu Chun stood up and took a look, "It's plain."

"Want to plant eggplant?"

Wu Chun nodded.

"Is there anything else you want to plant?"

Wu Chun thought for a while, he didn't know what to plant, the eggplant was the suggestion given by Xu Shiyao last night, and in the place where the soil is thin, "What has a high survival rate?"

"In that place, the survival rate is not high."

Wu Chun: "..."

"Let's not keep the water, and it's all stones. If you can really harvest something, someone else would have planted it." Grandpa continued to add, he looked at Wu Chun's eyes, and added at the end, "But it's also It’s not completely impossible, it’s just a little more effort.”

"How to do it!" Wu Chun excitedly looked at Grandpa.

……

When he was a child, Wu Chun and his grandfather set foot on the road back to the village.

At this time, it was only around nine o'clock in the morning, and the sunlight was not too harsh. Wu Chun held a small box of vegetable seedlings in one hand and a few flowers in the other.

Wu Chun can't be called by name, although he is a bit rustic and ugly, but the flower seller said that this flower is easy to feed.

There is no shortage of flowers in the village, especially in spring, wild flowers bloom all over the hillside, but there are no where Xu Shiyao is.

During the day, Xu Shiyao was trapped in the pine trees, his sight was blocked by layers of pine trees, and he couldn't see the scene of wild flowers competing for beauty outside the mountain, but at night the flowers fell asleep again.

There are many flowers, but none of them bloomed for Xu Shiyao.

"These flowers are delicate, and that kind of environment is not easy to grow." Grandpa reminded again, he didn't know what kind of stimulation his grandson had received recently, but the child was happy, and he didn't want to spoil others' interest.

"Don't worry, Grandpa, I'm free to do it."

Wu Chun didn't even enter the door when he went home, he just took the tools from the yard and turned to leave.

When he reached the foot of Shili Mountain, Wu Chun first shoveled a basket of soil.

The soil above is thin, so we can only add some soil manually, and we must pay attention to the loss of rainwater. In short, it is a very difficult project.

The sunlight is getting stronger and stronger, and some plants on the side of the road have lowered their heads, but Wu Chun doesn't feel the heat today.

The coolness slowly spread from his chest to his whole body, Wu Chun took out the pine cone pendant that he had hidden under his clothes.

"Did you help me again?"

Wu Chun murmured to Song Guo in a low voice, Xu Shiyao is the only one who can have such ability.

Wu Chun carried the box of soil, climbed to the empty space on the mountain, ran back and forth a dozen times, and finally spread a thin layer of soil on the open space.

"No, I'm too tired."

Wu Chun slumped on the ground. Grandpa said that it is best to plant in the afternoon. The sun is too poisonous in the morning, and the survival rate will not be very high.

Wu Chun's task in the morning is to make this place look a little less barren.

It's just that he underestimated the job.

I remembered that I had rejected my grandfather's help without hesitation just now, but in this weather, my grandfather still couldn't make the old man tired because of his age.

Wu Chun turned his head to look at the pine tree behind him, and after a while, he still ran over, hugging the pine tree and not letting go.

"I'm really tired, Xu Shiyao."

Wu Chun hugged the pine tree and cried, he looked like he had just been bullied.

The two branched branches of this pine tree became thicker. Wu Chun had already taken off his shoes and climbed up. At this moment, Wu Chun leaned on the trunk, took out an apple from his pocket, wiped it twice on his body, and bit it. He took a sip and let out a long sigh of satisfaction.

Sure enough, there was nowhere as comfortable as Xu Shiyao's side.

Summer nights are very hot, and Wu Chun was woken up by the heat several times in the middle of the night.

"You said it must be very comfortable for me to sleep with you at night."

Wu Chun really had this idea. Every time he woke up from his sleep dripping with sweat, Wu Chun began to think about how to persuade his grandfather to let him spend the night outside.

That time, after Wu Chun woke up in the cemetery, he went back and thought of an excuse all the way, before he managed to fool his grandfather.

"Or you go to my house to sleep with me."

But Wu Chun thought about it again, the people in the village who came to cut trees secretly did not have a definite time, that is, from the beginning of the night to when the sun was about to rise the next day, Xu Shiyao had to guard this place and could not go anywhere.

"Ham, I can't see it if I want to."

As Wu Chun spoke, he took another bite of the apple angrily, and when the apple in his hand was finished, Wu Chun dawdled on the tree for a while and continued to work.

"Sure enough, people can't rest."

After just resting for a short while, Wu Chun felt that his arm no longer belonged to him, not to mention the numbness and pain, and he didn't need any strength.

After continuing to carry it a few more times, Wu Chun felt that the soles of his feet should have blisters, but it finally looked like a place where vegetables could be grown. Wu Chun moved around with a few stones to block the surrounding area, and even used a lot of Small gaps plug the gaps between the stones.

Although my grandfather said that I don't know when the next rain will come, Wu Chun is still worried that a rain will wash away all the results of his busy morning.

After tidying up the field in the morning, at sunset in the afternoon, Wu Chun finally planted the vegetable seedlings, and brought up countless buckets of water back and forth. After completing the planting work, Wu Chun lay down on the pine tree, so tired that he didn't want to open his eyes. .

"I'll sleep for a while."

Wu Chun was not at all worried that he would fall from the tree, as long as he was close to where Xu Shiyao was, Wu Chun's inner sense of security would explode. He lay down on the pine tree and fell asleep in a short while.

Wu Chun was awakened by pinching.

When he opened his eyes, Wu Chun found that he was lying on Xu Shiyao's lap at the moment, and the other's hand was holding his arm and rubbing it gently.

Wu Chun found that there was something different about the other party's originally emotionless eyes.

"Xu Shiyao, I'm really tired."

Wu Chun got up suddenly, and while talking, hooked Xu Shiyao's neck with his hands, and said aggrievedly, "Look, my hands are calloused, my feet, and my shoulders, look."

As Wu Chun spoke, he pulled down his collar, exposing his fair shoulders in front of Xu Shiyao, with several staggered red marks made by the shoulder pole.

Wu Chun pressed lightly with his hands, and gasped in pain.

"It's over, it's estimated to be so swollen tomorrow."

At this moment, Wu Chun was only focused on telling Xu Shiyao how tired he was at the moment, completely ignoring what was wrong with his current posture. He was completely sitting on Xu Shiyao's body at this moment, with one hand still hooking the back of Xu Shiyao's neck.

"Let go." The other party said lightly.

"You are too ruthless!" Hearing what he said, Wu Chun suddenly became angry, he immediately let go of Xu Shiyao, moved off from the other person, moved to sit aside, turned his head away as if not looking at Xu Shiyao, but in fact Use your peripheral vision to secretly see the other party's reaction.

"I got up early in the morning to go shopping, and then filled the soil and carried water. I have never done this before. My grandfather said to help me. You see, it is so high here and there are many stones. If you fall What to do, I can’t help but say that he didn’t come, oh yes, I even fell while carrying water.”

As Wu Chun spoke, he rolled up his trousers, and his knee was obviously bruised.

Wu Chun didn't have much experience in carrying water for the first time, and he fell after walking crookedly within two steps. At that time, the pole fell directly on Wu Chun's back, and the two buckets of water were also spilled on Wu Chun. , but the sunlight was still strong at that time, and the wet clothes were dried by the sun after a while.

Wu Chun's trouser legs are now covered with dried up dirt.

At first, Wu Chun thought it was nothing. When he refused his grandfather's help, he knew that it would not go well, but seeing that his grandfather couldn't even straighten his waist, Wu Chun couldn't bear it.

Chun didn't feel aggrieved after a fall, and his hands and feet were covered with blisters, but because of Xu Shiyao's words just now, a lot of grievances came to his heart.

Tears flowed out uncontrollably.

Wu Chun felt that he was becoming more and more hypocritical, and his tears in front of Xu Shiyao seemed to be out of control. The tears fell as soon as they were said, and sometimes it was even some big things.

Besides, these things are what I have to do.

Wu Chun wiped away his tears, and patted his face vigorously with his hands, trying to stabilize his emotions, but in the next second, Wu Chun felt Xu Shiyao sticking up behind him.

The temperature dropped significantly.

Wu Chun turned his head and saw Xu Shiyao looking at him apologetically, "I'm sorry, I just..."

Xu Shiyao still didn't know how to express the following words, saying that every time Wu Chun hugged him, he would always have a different feeling, so Xu Shiyao injected Wu Chun's pine cones into Wu Chun's pine cone. A force can keep the temperature around the opponent cool, but it seems useless, Wu Chun should hug or hug.

Wu Chun's posture just now, this time the two of them were really in close contact, the strange feeling on Xu Shiyao's body was even more obvious, that's why he said those two words.

When the other party brought up the first bucket of water this afternoon, Xu Shiyao saw that Wu Chun's whole body was wet, and even guessed that some accident might have happened.

Xu Shiyao himself was grateful for all Wu Chun's actions, but every time he said something, it would turn into a different feeling.

He hadn't spoken for too long, and even when Wu Chun communicated with him for the first time, he was still a little nervous.

"I'll help you." Xu Shiyao said and moved closer to Wu Chun.

Wu Chun hadn't realized how Xu Shiyao would help him, but in the next second he felt the coolness coming from his shoulder. From the corner of his eyes, Wu Chun saw Xu Shiyao's head tilted slightly, the red and swollen spot on his shoulder, and gently blew on it. Get angry.

Wu Chun only needs to turn his head slightly to meet Xu Shiyao.

Wu Chun didn't dare to move anymore, didn't dare to breathe out, and sat there stiffly, allowing Xu Shiyao to "help" him.

Needless to say, Xu Shiyao's move seemed a bit weird, but it was really useful.

Wu Chun felt that the soreness in his shoulders had eased a lot.

"feel better now?"

Wu Chun nodded dully, "Well, it's much better."

"Give me the legs."

Wu Chun was like a puppet, he did what Xu Shiyao said, and when he realized it, Xu Shiyao had already held his feet in his hands.

Relying on Xu Shiyao's unique coolness, the soreness on his body was indeed relieved a lot.

In addition, there is a slight itching feeling...

"That..." Wu Chun was just about to say it's okay, but before he finished speaking, he saw the other party's expression suddenly became tense, his brows were slightly frowned, and in the next second, Wu Chun only felt a white shadow flash past his eyes , There was still a sentence floating in the air, "Someone cut down a tree, wait for me."
