don't go near that tree

Chapter 23

Wu Chun fled.

For the first time before Xu Shiyao spoke, Wu Chun offered to leave.

After returning home, Wu Chun lay on the bed without any sleepiness.

At this moment, Wu Chun's brain was in chaos, and the scenes of getting along with Xu Shiyao tonight kept flashing in his mind like a movie playing on a loop.

The way Xu Shiyao looked at himself tonight...

Xu Shiyao gently stroked the top of his hair...

Xu Shiyao took the initiative to put his shoulders...

The most special thing is the portrait of himself in Xu Shiyao's memory book...

Wu Chun lay down straight and made a "big" character on the bed.

For a moment, Wu Chun felt that Xu Shiyao might be right, that he really might be sick, and his mind was sick.

Wu Chun didn't know how to express his inner feelings. When he saw Xu Shiyao's eyes full of tenderness, he would be confused, like a deer bumping around in his heart. When Xu Shiyao's hand touched his hair, Wu Chun's brain It was as if fireworks exploded. When Xu Shiyao held him in his arms, Wu Chun felt his heartbeat speed up instantly. When he saw his portrait, Wu Chun couldn't calm down anymore.

From a certain moment, Wu Chun no longer dared to look directly into Xu Shiyao's eyes.

One look, and people will be confused.

Wu Chun is in a mess right now...

In the dark night, Wu Chun sighed slowly, he pulled the quilt kicked aside by himself, and covered his face together.

The dryness and heat are finally far away from Wu Chun.

In the hot summer, Wuchun has a unique coolness.

……

Wu Chun didn't sleep well that night. When he woke up in the morning, Wu Chun walked into the yard with two dark circles under his eyes.

"Didn't sleep last night?" Grandpa was feeding the chickens. When he saw his grandson looking listless, he immediately stepped forward and asked with concern, "What's the matter? Have you talked to that child?"

Wu Chun nodded.

Grandpa sighed slowly, "People from Shili Mountain, I'm sorry."

"Grandpa." Wu Chun stepped forward to hug his grandfather, and said comfortingly, "He said that no matter what happens, he will stick to it."

After Wu Chun finished speaking, he felt his arms suddenly wet.

Looking sideways, I found that my grandfather was crying.

"Grandpa."

Wu Chun hugged the old man tightly, "He told me that he wanted me to thank you."

"There's nothing to thank for that. People from Shili Village should thank him." Grandpa wiped away his tears and patted Wu Chun's shoulder. "Oh, by the way, does his mother know?"

Wu Chun shook his head.

"Stop telling her."

Wu Chun thought for a while, then nodded.

"Son, not everyone can feel his existence. Grandpa and I only saw a figure when he was unconscious. Five years have passed. Even if his family knows, they can't see him, and he can't do it as much as possible." Filial piety, talking about it will only add to the sadness, but you are an exception, it is the first time seeing your grandfather at such an old age."

Wu Chun let go of his grandfather, and took off the pendant that Xu Shiyao gave him.

"Grandpa, look at this, try to touch it, can you feel the coolness?"

Grandpa held it in his hand and felt it carefully. After a while, he shook his head, "No."

"He gave this to me, saying that the fire on my shoulders is too weak to protect me." Wu Chun said, a smile gradually appeared on his face, he looked at the pendant in his hand, his eyes were full of tenderness.

"This may be fate! Today the child's mother took Granny Wang away, so remember to see it off."

"Go? Take Granny Wang?"

"Ok!"

Wu Chun still remembered that he promised Xu Shiyao to take a family portrait for him last night, "Grandpa, you can have breakfast first, don't wait for me." Wu Chun walked towards the village as he spoke.

When rushing over, Xu Shiyao's mother was sitting in the courtyard with Granny Wang having breakfast.

"Wu Chun? Why are you here so early? Have you had breakfast? Let's have some together."

"Auntie, you are taking Granny Wang away today." Wu Chun asked directly.

"Yeah, my mother is old after all, and she can't always be taken care of by people in the village. His father and I are busy with business, so we wanted to take the old man with us so that we can take care of it."

"Then will you come back?" Wu Chun asked again.

"Yes, I can't tell."

Wu Chun felt a little uncomfortable.

Granny Wang is the only concern of Xu Shiyao's parents in this village. Once Granny Wang leaves, the possibility of them coming back is very slim.

Furthermore, this village has the most painful memory for them.

Perhaps whenever I see the mountain in front of me, I think of Xu Shiyao who passed away.

Xu Shiyao couldn't come back.

Nor can they live in pain all the time.

Wu Chun understands the truth, but Wu Chun feels uncomfortable in his heart.

Why was he the only one who knew of Xu Shiyao's existence? Wu Chun could feel the emotional change in Xu Shiyao's eyes when he mentioned his relatives to Xu Shiyao.

In the past five years, Xu Shiyao was so lonely, he couldn't remember anything, and couldn't keep anything.

After Wu Chun finally tore a gap in this lonely barrier, he suddenly thought that he would leave this village one day, and at that time Xu Shiyao would return to his original life again.

Even worse than before.

If you can't accompany you for a long time, it's better not to show up in the first place.

Wu Chun somewhat understood this sentence, and experienced the feeling of someone talking all night. After he left, Xu Shiyao faced the pine trees all over the mountain, but no one communicated with them. When he saw the various past events on the bark , What kind of feeling should it be.

"What's wrong? Wu Chun?"

"Oh, it's okay." Wu Chun pulled back his thoughts, "I heard from my grandfather that I want to come see you off, that... Auntie, can you give me a photo of your family?"

In the beginning, Wu Chun still had some scruples about whether it would be awkward to suddenly ask someone for a photo, but now that everyone is leaving, if he keeps hesitating, maybe Xu Shiyao will never know what his father looks like and what his grandma looks like again.

"That's easy to say, I'll get one for you."

Xu Shiyao's mother entered the room after a while to take a photo and handed it to Wu Chun.

In the photo, Xu Shiyao is holding the university admission letter, standing behind his grandma, and beside him are his parents.

Xu Shiyao's appearance can be said to have combined the advantages of his parents.

"Thank you, Auntie." Wu Chun stared at the photo in his hand, his brows and feet slowly relaxed, and a smile filled his face.

"Wu Chun, Auntie wants to go to the mountain again."

……

Wu Chun once again followed Xu Shiyao's mother to the side of the pine tree where Xu Shiyao was located in Shili Mountain.

"After what happened five years ago, I couldn't sleep every day and would ask, why us? His father and I did business according to our duties and never did anything wrong. My son Yaoyao has been kind since he was a child. I have always Teach him to do good deeds and don’t ask about the future, but why is it us? I hated and complained, and even within a year or two after the incident, I didn’t set foot in this village, but as time went by, I slowly I figured it out. My Yaoyao died to save people. He always remembered what my father and I taught him. He was not afraid in the face of danger, but rushed forward. His father and I were proud of him, but we didn’t know Why, every time I get close to this mountain, I can feel his presence, this feeling will be stronger when I stand here, I think, maybe I miss him too much."

Wu Chun turned his face away, trying not to let the tears flow out.

"Auntie." Wu Chun tried his best to force a smile, "I think he must want you to be happy."

At this moment, a gust of wind blew, the wind was not strong, but it made the pine tree bend its branches.

Not much, but Wu Chun could sense that this was Xu Shiyao's response to him.

Xu Shiyao's mother left with Granny Wang, and Wu Chun was sent to the entrance of the village. When the bus came, Xu Shiyao's mother suddenly turned around and hugged Wu Chun, and whispered in Wu Chun's ear, "Wu Chun, the god on the mountain is still here!" Not specific, Sun Xiangu said to us, and I heard that you studied liberal arts, so Auntie entrusted this character to you."

specific?

Wu Chun thought all the way back to Shili Mountain.

How to make a god concrete?

It seems that every god that people believe in here has their specific names.

"Got to think of a name for him first."

Wu Chun walked around the pine tree twice, but he couldn't think of the name, but he felt sleepy.

Wu Chun stretched his waist, and climbed up the pine tree barefoot. After more times, Wu Chun became more and more proficient at climbing trees.

But if Wu Chun knew that every time he lay on the pine tree, he was lying in Xu Shiyao's arms, he would definitely not be as comfortable as he is now.

The sun was too bright to keep your eyes open.

Wu Chun rubbed his eyes, and saw that the pine branches above his head were gathering in the middle, and after a while, they blocked the path of the light.

Taking advantage of the coolness, Wu Chun took a light sleep.

Maybe because he was thinking about what Xu Shiyao's mother told him, in Wu Chun's dream the pine tree became a spirit.

It's still the pine tree in front of me, but it has really become a spirit.

Two branches turned into hands, a pair of feet grew out, and a nose, mouth, and eyes grew out of the smooth trunk, chasing after Wuchun all over the mountain.

Just because Wu Chun said that it doesn't look good.

In his sleep, Wu Chun frowned slightly.

Such a stingy pine tree is not as magnanimous as Xu Shiyao.

Unexpectedly, after hearing what the other party said, he wanted to have a showdown with Xu Shiyao, and finally he was convinced by Xu Shiyao's beating, and he honestly went back into the ground.

In the dream, Xu Shiyao stood under the light, and he was indeed more attractive than in the night.

He turned around to face Wu Chun.

The light was behind him, as if it was a foil for him.

He stretched out his right hand, and Wu Chun heard him say, "Wu Chun, come here."

Wu Chun stretched out his hand, and clasped his hands together. They flew under the light, and that feeling was amazing.

Wu Chun slowly opened his eyes, he hadn't recovered from the dream yet, when he slowly regained consciousness, he found that he was holding the pine branch firmly in his hand.

"what!"

Wu Chun hurriedly let go of the pine branch and jumped down from the pine tree.

Time passed quickly, and there were still a few hours before meeting Xu Shiyao.

Wu Chun looked at the vegetable garden which had been watered yesterday and was now dry, and rolled up his trouser legs.

"Ready to work!"

Wu Chun picked up the bucket and walked towards the lake at the foot of the mountain.

Before sunset, Wu Chun finished pouring the last bucket of water. He sat on a rock next to the vegetable garden, holding a twig in his hand, and knocked on the ground repeatedly.

"Ten, nine, eight..."

After saying the word "one", the pine tree in front of him moved, and then Xu Shiyao appeared in front of Wu Chun.

Wu Chun threw away the branch in his hand, and looked at Xu Shiyao with a smile.

"Want to watch the sunset together? Hurry up and catch the last train."

Wu Chun saw that Xu Shiyao seemed to be thinking for a while, and then, like a scene in a dream, Xu Shiyao was compatible with Yu Guang, and stretched out a hand towards him.

"Wu Chun, come here."

Wu Chun froze on the spot, the feeling of holding hands in the dream resurfaced in his heart, and before he knew it, Wu Chun had already got up and held the other's outstretched hand.

It's even better than the feeling in the dream, making people greedy and reluctant to let go.

Wu Chun felt Xu Shiyao gently tug on him, and then cool and cool wrapped Wu Chun's body, and Wu Chun was embraced by Xu Shiyao.

The other party hugged him without saying a word.

"What's wrong? Xu Shiyao?" Wu Chun asked.

"They're gone."

Wu Chun was taken aback, even though Xu Shiyao stayed in the pine tree, the other party could hear what Xu Shiyao's mother said during the day.

"They will come back." Wu Chun comforted.

Xu Shiyao didn't speak, and hugged Wu Chun for a long time.

Wu Chun also didn't say a word and let him rub himself into his arms.

It turns out that it's not just people who are afraid of separation.

When the night was completely dark, Xu Shiyao let go of Wu Chun.

"I don't want her back."

"Why?" Wu Chun asked puzzled.

"I can't go back, they should have a new life."

Wu Chun couldn't tell what he felt in his heart, he was a little uncomfortable, and even more distressed.

He is the only person who can contact Xu Shiyao, if he leaves in the future, Wu Chun dare not think about what will happen to him.

"Sorry, I didn't watch the sunset with you."

Hearing the low voice of the other party, Wu Chun wanted to rush up and hug him, but he held back, he just gently held Xu Shiyao's hanging hand, and said with a smile, "It's okay, we still have countless sunsets. "
