don't go near that tree

Wu Chun was looking forward to the arrival of the night.

When I mentioned my thoughts to the village head in the morning, the village head just said something in the evening, without rejecting or accepting it.

But in Wu Chun's eyes, there is hope if there is no rejection.

Wu Chun didn't tell Xu Shiyao about this matter. First, Wu Chun didn't want to make Xu Shiyao happy because he hadn't said anything about the matter. Second, if the matter really succeeded, he might be able to surprise Xu Shiyao.

Has Xu Shiyao ever been happy?

When Wu Chun is free, he always thinks about this question. When Wu Chun first met Xu Shiyao, he couldn't see any emotional changes from the other party. According to the other party, before he met Wu Chun, those recorded tree There were only some problems recorded on the skin that had troubled Xu Shiyao for a long time.

It seems that these five years, before meeting Wu Chun, time is like a cloud of smoke in the past, the past has passed, even if it will be forgotten at zero o'clock, there is no regret.

There is nothing to record, and I am in a state of ignorance of the world every day.

In the past five years, Wu Chun guessed that for Xu Shiyao, there was confusion and confusion, but he was just happy, as if he didn't.

The thing that can make Xu Shiyao happy is that the trees on Shili Mountain can be protected from damage.

"Wu Chun, you have to work harder this time!"

Wu Chun put his hands on his chest, clutching the pine cone pendant that Xu Shiyao gave him, and cheered himself up.

……

It was late in the evening, and as soon as the sun set, Wu Chun couldn't wait to rush to the village chief's house, but when he passed the village courtyard, he found that the door of the village courtyard was open, and there was a circle of people inside, who were setting up the scene.

The village head stood among the crowd.

Wu Chun stood there and listened carefully for a while, only then did he realize that someone was setting up a stage here tonight.

Every month in Shili Village, an opera troupe will come to sing opera. At this time, no matter how tired the people in the village are for the day, when night falls, every family will move a small bench and gather in the village courtyard until the opera is over. .

Wu Chun's grandfather also loves to listen, and usually Wu Chun will hear his grandfather always hum a sentence or two.

"Wu Chun."

Hearing the sound, Wu Chun raised his head, and saw the village chief squeezed out from the crowd, walking towards him.

"village head."

Wu Chun stood upright, like a well-behaved student meeting his teacher.

"Almost everyone in the village will come tonight. This is the repertoire of the opera tonight." The village chief said and handed Wu Chun a piece of paper.

Wu Chun took it, and the next second, he stared at the village chief in disbelief.

All the programs performed tonight seem to be deliberately arranged, and they are all related to the protection of mountains and forests.

"Between the show, you have half an hour."

"Thank you, village chief!" Wu Chun couldn't hide his excitement. He didn't expect things to go so smoothly. Now he is going home to prepare a draft.

"Village Chief, I'll go back and prepare."

After getting the consent of the village head, Wu Chun hummed a ditty and turned to leave, but he didn't notice that the moment he turned around, the smiling face of the village head behind him was immediately covered with a sad expression. After that, he let out a slow sigh.

Wu Chun still couldn't hold back and went to Shili Mountain first, and when he hummed happily all the way to the halfway up the mountain, he saw the middle-aged man who disgusted Wu Chun this afternoon again.

This time, the middle-aged man was still standing in front of the pine tree where Xu Shiyao was, with his hands behind his back, looking up at the pine tree.

Although Wu Chun stood behind him and couldn't see his specific expression clearly, he could tell how wretched he was when he thought about it.

And also with his hands behind his back, Xu Shiyao has a demeanor.

The man in front of me...

Wu Chun's eyes were full of contempt, he put one hand behind his back, rubbed his nose with the other hand, and coughed twice in a pretentious manner.

Hearing the sound, the man turned his head, saw Wu Chun, and laughed greasyly.

"Young man, who is the head of your village?"

"What's the matter with you?" Wu Chun asked angrily.

"Does your village sell this tree?"

Wu Chun was furious when he heard that, he couldn't bear it anymore, he stepped forward and started to drive away, "Can you afford it?"

Wu Chun said it politely, but he thought in his heart that you deserve it too!

"This tree was planted from above." Wu Chun deliberately bit the word "above", trying to make the other party retreat.

"Is that so?"

"Yes, yes, let's go quickly, don't think about this tree." Wu Chun said and drove the people away. After the people left, it would be two or ten minutes later. The sound of beating gongs and drums came, and I was anxious.

There is not much time to delay, let's get down to business first.

"Wait for me tonight, I have a lot of good news to tell you."

Wu Chun patted the pine tree twice, and rushed down the mountain in a hurry.

When he got home, Wu Chun didn't care about eating, so he took out a pen and paper from the cupboard and started writing.

Wu Chun made a simple flowchart for the only half hour, what to say in the first 10 minutes, what to say in the middle 10 minutes, and what to say in the last 10 minutes.

Holding the flow chart in his pocket, Wu Chun rushed to the village compound.

The play is singing...

Standing in the crowd, Wu Chun calmed down and listened.

The singers were very involved in the play, and the audience was naturally brought in. The audience applauded, and when Wu Chun was still not satisfied, the play stopped.

At this moment, the village head beside him pushed Wu Chun.

Wu Chun understood immediately, tidied up his clothes, took a deep breath, and stepped onto the stage.

"Good evening, folks!" Facing the crowd of people below, Wu Chun couldn't help but feel nervous.

This feeling is even more frightening than speaking in front of the whole school.

Wu Chun let out another breath slowly, and the palms holding the microphone were covered with sweat.

"Do you know what these teachers sang about just now?" Wu Chun asked with a smile.

It was only quiet for a while, and then began to chatter.

"Young man, although we haven't read much, we can still hear it when we listen to opera."

"That's right, what's so difficult about it, what I sang tonight probably said not to cut down trees indiscriminately."

The discussion below became more and more intense, and some people even started discussing tonight's play together, completely ignoring that there was another person on the stage.

Wu Chun had no experience of giving speeches on stage a few times, and at this moment he was daring to bite the bullet. At this moment, Wu Chun heard a voice, "Do you have any opinions, young man?"

Wu Chun followed the source of the voice, and saw an uncle standing beside grandpa, who should have said the words just now.

Wu Chun gave his grandfather an encouraging look, and his tense mood instantly calmed down a lot.

"I think it is very necessary to protect trees, especially here in a mountainous area. If the mountain lacks the protection of vegetation, it will lose its temper. What will happen if the mountain loses its temper? I think all the uncles and aunts here have experienced it too. , everyone knows the need to protect trees, but when it comes to action, there will be problems of one kind or another.”

Wu Chun said it in one breath, and the last word sounded Luo, Wu Chun felt that his floating heart was put on hold temporarily, but the next words made Wu Chun want to swear frequently.

"It's easy to say, what do you eat if you don't chop firewood?"

"That's right, don't you have to light a fire to cook for three meals a day, what do you eat and drink if you don't chop firewood?"

……

It’s nothing to look at these remarks alone, but the more they talk, the more they go too far, and they even go directly from discussing the protection of trees to Wu Chun.

"You are a baby who grew up in a honeypot in the city."

"What's the name of a doll who doesn't know anything?"

"If every family here is like yours, who would bother to chop firewood? Don't tell me you're tired, and worry about it every night."

"Ham, don't talk about it. I didn't dare to go for two days. A few days ago, I heard that someone went there just after dark, and I ran into that thing."

"That's not right, when will a master who really knows how to do it do it, and get rid of that harmful thing."

"Is this play still sung or not? If we don't sing, we'll go back, and we have to go to the ground tomorrow morning."

……

In the end, Wu Chun was forced to step off the stage.

Almost everyone's attention continued to be immersed in the opera, and no one cared about him at all.

"Chun Chun."

Wu Chun turned his head and saw his grandfather and the village head standing beside him.

"Now I understand, some methods won't work here."

"Grandpa, do you know?" Wu Chun asked.

Grandpa nodded, "At that time, the village chief tried it, and he went door-to-door telling it. Try it, how can you give up."

There was resentment in Wu Chun's heart, but he couldn't explode at this moment, so he could only endure the unhappiness in his heart, and said to his grandfather, "Grandpa, I will go out to relax, and you don't have to wait for me to sleep at night."

Huanxi was gradually left behind by Wu Chun until only a little sound could be heard.

Taking advantage of the moonlight, Wu Chun set foot on the road to Shili Mountain, and the planner in his hand was torn up bit by bit by Wu Chun. There were still many things on it, and Wu Chun didn't even have a chance to say it out.

Wu Chun stuffed the scraps of paper into his pocket, looked at the silent road ahead, and sighed slowly.

Tonight's bumping into a wall was not enough to make Wu Chun so blocked. What Wu Chun was angry with was the "harmful thing" they said one by one.

The thing that prevented them from cutting trees on the mountain was none other than Xu Shiyao.

Xu Shiyao sacrificed for them, guarding this place for them to give up the chance to re-enter reincarnation, but in the end, he only got a "harmful thing"

ridicule.

Wu Chun felt extremely mocking in his heart, if Xu Shiyao knew about this, he would be so disappointed.

At this moment, Wu Chun suddenly rejoiced that Xu Shiyao could only keep one day's memory, so that even if he received bad words from people during the day, the resentment in his heart would disappear at the moment when the memory cleared, and it was also at that moment, Seeing the advice I left for myself on the bark, I regained my fighting spirit.

If you don't remember, you won't be disappointed.

Wu Chun stood at the foot of the mountain, looking up at the top of the mountain.

Suddenly I didn't have the courage to step on it, and I promised to surprise the other party, but it only brought a bunch of bad emotions.

Just like that, Wu Chun hesitated at the foot of the mountain for a long time, and when Wu Chun was about to move on, he suddenly heard a familiar voice.

"Wu Chun."

Wu Chun raised his head and saw Xu Shiyao standing on the mountain road not far from him. The moonlight reflected Xu Shiyao's eyes, and Wu Chun caught a trace of worry in those eyes.

Xu Shiyao knew everything about the day, and there were women he couldn't understand emotions in his eyes and middle-aged men who disgusted him.

Fortunately, apart from Wu Chun, no one can directly contact him.

It's just that when the woman hugged him, even if he couldn't touch him directly, Xu Shiyao still had some indescribable feelings.

When night fell, Xu Shiyao couldn't wait to get out of the pine tree. After waiting for Wu Chun for a long time, he finally felt the other party's breath, but this man had been standing at the foot of the mountain, refusing to come up.

Xu Shiyao was worried, so he went down the mountain by himself.

Seeing that Wu Chun didn't speak, Xu Shiyao asked again, "Did something happen?"

Unexpectedly, Wu Chun's eyes were reddened, and by the time Xu Shiyao realized it, the other party had already rushed over, reaching out to hug him.

In the end, Xu Shiyao only heard Wu Chun say aggrievedly, "I'm so uncomfortable, Xu Shiyao."
