don't go near that tree

It was already a week after Wu Chun returned to Shili Mountain after the military training.

This year, it happened that the Dragon Boat Festival and the National Day coincided, and Wuchun School had a small holiday for nearly half a month. On the night of departure from school, Wuchun talked all night. We met after nearly a month. In Chun's heart, apart from longing, there is also unspeakable excitement.

During this one month, Wu Chun gradually learned to integrate his thoughts into his daily life, so that his busy university life constantly enriched his brain. Find a way to live with this emotion.

In the past, Wu Chun felt slightly disdainful when he heard people complain about the troubles of long-distance relationships. It was not until it was his turn that Wu Chun realized that deep love is not worth mentioning in front of reason. Beside the other party, if you can't see the other party's figure for a long time within the visual range around you, you will feel insecure.

There were several times when Wu Chun's remaining rationality was almost lost. At that moment, everything around him was not important to him. He just wanted to rush to the other party and have a few words with him.

But Wu Chun finally held back.

What Xu Shiyao said that night was not unreasonable. They should pay more attention to the future, and Wu Chun will give himself the capital to stay in that place. If not, even their future will not even see hope.

Xu Shiyao could only stay there.

Wu Chun's feet can reach every corner of the world, but he will eventually return to that place.

Shili Mountain is the intersection point where the life trajectories of Wu Chun and Xu Shiyao meet and begin, and naturally it is also the end point where their trajectories converge. This process that seems to return from the starting point to the starting point requires the two of them to make great efforts together.

What's more, Wu Chun always wants to see the world beyond ten miles of mountains for Xu Shiyao.

Five years ago, the other party had just set foot in the new world, but was forced to take it back by a sudden accident.

Wu Chun always felt that he had this responsibility, and he should, with Xu Shiyao's responsibility and expectation, work hard where he should have worked hard.

For a month, because Xu Shiyao took away the cool energy from the pine cones, Wu Chun's fair skin also turned slightly darker because of military training.

During this process, Wu Chun also learned a lot, and spending a long time in the library has given Wu Chun a certain amount of knowledge reserves.

In just one month, Wu Chun's whole temperament became different.

When returning to Shili Village, Wu Chun went to the village head's house first.

During this period of time, Wu Chun read a lot of books in school, and he also has a certain understanding of the development of the countryside, but there are some problems that Wu Chun needs to ask the village head.

What I read in books is just theory, and the specifics must be adjusted to local conditions.

The moment he saw Wu Chun, the village chief's expression was also suppressed, and then he smiled and said enthusiastically, "Sure enough, going to a big city is the experience of the president. It looks like you are completely different from before."

Wu Chun smiled and didn't speak, but took out a notebook from his bag, on which were the notes he had made in the past month.

"Village chief, I read some cases in other villages, and found out that our place, the lake under Shili Mountain and Shili Mountain, are not allowed to engage in breeding..."

……

After staying at the village chief's house for about two hours, Wu Chun left the village chief's house with his notebook in his hands.

There were still a few hours before evening, and after Wu Chun came out of the village chief's house, he decided to take a stroll around the village first.

During this time at school, Wu Chun was deeply touched. He knew very little about this place. Whenever he saw something and wanted to recall it, he didn't even know what was in a certain direction of the village.

This is not acceptable.

Since Wu Chun came back here, he first went to Grandpa's house, and up to now, he hasn't bothered to go to Shili Mountain.

Wu Chun glanced at the time, it was obviously impossible to visit all the villages today, so Wu Chun set a direction and planned to come a little bit.

He chose the place closest to Shili Mountain, so that in case of delay, it would save time to rush to Shili Mountain after sunset.

Now this time coincides with the corn harvest time.

At this moment, the corn was yellow from the head to the tail, and the corn drooped down. Wu Chun passed by a field, stepped forward and gently peeled off the layer of skin wrapped around the corn, and the seeds inside were full.

The yellow corn kernels came straight into Wu Chun's line of sight, and Wu Chun raised the corners of his mouth unconsciously.

"Isn't this someone's nephew? Come back to see your grandfather again?"

A middle-aged man came over with a sack of corn on his shoulders, and put the sack of corn on his shoulders at Wu Chun's feet.

Just as Wu Chun wanted to help, he was stopped.

"Don't touch it, this sack of corn is not light, and you can't do it as a school boy." He said, wiped his sweat, and carried the sack on his shoulder again, "This time, I plan to spend it at your grandpa's house." Mid-Autumn Festival?"

"Yep."

To be honest, Wu Chun didn't recognize who the other party was yet, but he still politely called Uncle. He saw that there was still half a sack of corn in the field not far away, so he put down the notebook in his hand and walked into the field. Try to carry that half sack of corn on your shoulders.

It may only be half a sack, and the weight of these corns is not as heavy as Wu Chun imagined. He can bear it completely, but when he took a step, he accidentally stepped on a stone and staggered.

But at this moment, the person in front of him turned his head, saw this scene, and hurriedly put the corn on his shoulders on the ground, hurriedly ran towards Wu Chun, and said as he ran, "Young man, this can't be done. I'm flashing your waist, let me do it."

"I can do it, uncle."

As Wu Chun said, he shook the corn on his shoulder twice, and walked out with the corn on his back.

"Just this little thing, if I still can't handle it, all these years of food will be in vain.",

Wu Chun put the corn on the designated place, and when he turned around, he saw the expression of shock and admiration on the uncle's face.

Wu Chun felt a little funny for a moment, "What's wrong? Uncle?" Wu Chun asked.

I just heard the man say in an unbelievable tone, "I didn't expect a doll who reads to do such a job."

"Uncle, you can't say that." Wu Chun said with a smile, "Scholars are human too, if you can do it, we can't do it?"

"I'm not the only one who thinks this way." The man smiled and poured the corn in the bag into the basket, "But it's true, you children who study have been squatting in the school since you were young. I have never done heavy work, so naturally I can't do such a job."

"Uncle, this is your stereotype." Wu Chun stepped forward to help pour the corn from the sack into the basket, and said, "In fact, we are just like you, we grew up eating whole grains Boys, if you can do it, we can do it too, and now it seems that we are close, but if we do less, we might even beat you if we do more."

"It's true to say so." The man said, picking up the bag and preparing to continue walking into the field, "But since you have changed your destiny through reading, why do you still do these dirty jobs? Reading is not just to get out of this poor mountainous area."

"But someone has to go against the way..." Wu Chun whispered.

"What?" The man seemed to understand with a frown.

"It's nothing." Wu Chun smiled, and hurriedly changed the subject, "How much do you owe that uncle, let me help you."

"No, no, no, the sun is still poisonous, you skinny and tender, don't get sunburned."

"It's okay, Uncle, just let me help you." Wu Chun said firmly.

Looking at Wu Chun's firm eyes, the man finally nodded.

"But listen to me, don't memorize too much at once, and don't stay in the cornfield for too long."

"okay!"

Wu Chun readily agreed, quickly picked up the notebook that he had thrown aside, and hurriedly followed.

"Uncle, I see that the corn harvest is good this year, can it be sold at a good price?"

"It doesn't cost much."

"why?"

"Food has long been worthless..."

The conversation went on like this for a long time.

……

At sunset, Wu Chun arrived at Shili Mountain.

But after all, he was still one step too late. Before reaching the pine tree, Wu Chun saw the familiar figure in front of the pine tree.

Xu Shiyao obviously saw him too, and it took only a second for him to flash in front of Wu Chun.

Looking at the missing face in front of him, Wu Chun finally couldn't hold back, and threw himself into the opponent's arms.

"I miss you so much, Xu Shiyao." Wu Chun said, burying his face in Xu Shiyao's arms, letting the familiar aura surround him.

"I miss you too." Xu Shiyao whispered, raising his hand to remove the corn wadding from Wu Chun's hair.

"Going to do farm work again?" Xu Shiyao asked.

Just at this moment, a gust of wind blew, and Wu Chun came out from Xu Shiyao's arms. He looked at the top of the mountain in the distance, where he could vaguely see the sharp corner of the sun.

"Watch the sunset." Wu Chun said, pointing to the distance.

Xu Shiyao replied softly, and then they sat on the pine branches as before.

Fortunately, even if Xu Shiyao can't accept the light, at least he can still have the opportunity to catch the tail of the sunset with Wu Chun.

It's just that on today's rare ten-mile mountain, besides Wu Chun, there are other people.

"Young man, why are you sitting on a tree? It's dangerous. Get down quickly."

Wu Chun was so frightened that if it wasn't for Xu Shiyao's hands firmly around Wu Chun's waist, Wu Chun might really have slipped off the branch.

"Don't worry, he can't see me." Xu Shiyao whispered comfortingly close to Wu Chun's ear.

Only then did Wu Chun heave a sigh of relief. Fortunately, he and Xu Shiyao didn't do anything else just now. Otherwise, in the eyes of others, he would be alone, making some weird things on a mountain that was once rumored to be haunted. action.

"Auntie, I'm watching the sunset." Wu Chun replied with a smile.

The woman came over with a hoe, holding a frame in her hand, "Look, but young man, this tree is not easy to sit on, hurry down."

Wu Chun was taken aback for a moment, then turned around and looked at Xu Shiyao beside him pleadingly.

Xu Shiyao's face didn't change much, and he floated down from the tree with his arms around Wu Chun's waist.

Seeing this, the woman hurriedly put the hoe in her hand on the ground, took out a few things from the frame, and placed them on the stove.

"Song Shuxian, thanks to your protection, the village has not been flooded in the past few years. The crops have a good harvest this year, and the school fee for the baby has been paid. I came here to thank you."

As he spoke, he kowtowed three times on his knees, then got up and patted the dirt on his knees, preparing to leave.

"Auntie." Wu Chun hurriedly stopped the other party's way, and asked cautiously, "I just heard from you that you are going to sell the crops to teach the children?"

"That's not true." The man sighed slowly, "The family is poor, the child pays the school fees in autumn, and the money for the food sold just happens to be used." The woman looked at Wu Chun, looked around, "Son, you are also a person who reads."

Wu Chun nodded.

"Reading is good, reading is good." The woman sighed again and again, "After reading, you can leave this place where the birds don't shit, that's all right, I should go back, it's going to be dark soon, don't wait too long."

Wu Chun nodded.

The woman left with the hoe on her shoulders, humming a song as she walked.

Wu Chun looked at her thin back, feeling very emotional in his heart at this moment.

"Wu Chun." Xu Shiyao whispered in his ear.

"Xu Shiyao, I have an indescribable feeling in my heart, do you understand?"

As Wu Chun spoke, he looked at Xu Shiyao, only to see a trace of doubt flashing in his eyes.

Wu Chun smiled, took the other party's hand, and said patiently, "People have to eat to live, and they have to work to eat, but just eating is not enough, they need more things, for these things , They have to work hard, and life will continue to be tiring day after day. Until the day when they can no longer work, and at that time, it is almost time to say goodbye to this world."

Xu Shiyao also had this kind of emotion before, but at the moment when his life came to an end, this feeling disappeared with the passing of his life. Now he knows how to protect this mountain forest and guarantee the people living under the mountain. A stable environment, but they can't understand it. After the environment is stable, they have a lot to do. The stable environment is only a prerequisite for their life.

Life is formed by the accumulation of countless helplessness and necessity.The occasional joy interspersed in it will make people feel that no matter how hard it is, they must live, and if they live, there will be unexpected surprises.

"The outside world is very exciting, so they all want their children to work hard to get out of this mountain and go outside. For them, reading is the only way to get out of here."

"What about you?" Xu Shiyao asked in a low voice.

Wu Chun looked at Xu Shiyao and smiled slightly, "I'm the same as you."

"What's the same?"

Wu Chun turned around, leaning his shoulders against Xu Shiyao's. He looked at the village below the mountain. After a while, he sighed slowly, and then he said in a firm tone, "Stay here." The purpose of coming down is to give more people here a chance to go out.”
