don't go near that tree

Chapter 39

After saying this, Wu Chun stayed with Xu Shiyao for a while, and then left Ten Mile Mountain.

He wanted to give Xu Shiyao a little more time to think before his memory of today disappeared.

Now that you have already known the other party's intentions, why bother to rush at this moment.

And Wu Chun felt that Xu Shiyao needed only his own space at this moment.

Because when facing himself, he would always appear restrained and cautious, as if he had done something wrong.

Wu Chun walked down the mountain road slowly, and every two steps he took, he would look back until Xu Shiyao's figure disappeared from his field of vision.

After descending the mountain, Wu Chun did not leave immediately. He stood at the foot of the mountain and looked towards Shili Mountain. Under the moonlight, he could still see the top of the tree.

Wu Chun stood at the foot of the mountain for a long time.

The emotion of parting began to come to my heart uncontrollably.

Less than ten days after leaving school, he still needs to go home a few days in advance to prepare, and he doesn't know how long he can stay in Shili Village.

This difference, the shortest is one month.

Although the school Wu Chun applied for was not too far from home, there was no direct bus from the school to Shili Village.

Even if Wu Chun wanted to come back on Saturday and weekend, traveling on the road would probably take up most of his time, and the time he spent with Xu Shiyao might only be a few hours.

Wu Chun sighed slowly.

The moonlight tonight is extraordinarily bright, reflecting everything around Shili Mountain extraordinarily clearly.

Apart from Xu Shiyao's reasons, Wu Chun also felt a little bit reluctant about this place.

Even if he came here, it would only be two months.

Even the living conditions here are still very backward.

Even people here can be selfish sometimes.

But it is such a place surrounded by mountains and rivers, with smoke from cooking houses, that is so attractive to Wu Chun.

Wu Chun watched the moon in the night sky all night, and in the end he took reluctant steps to leave this place.

……

Xu Shiyao always knew that Wu Chun was standing at the foot of the mountain.

He still didn't dare to face it.

For Wu Chun's seductive and naked confession again and again.

Xu Shiyao felt that his concentration was not as strong as it was at the beginning, and he didn't know when it started to waver.

When Wu Chun said that sentence, Xu Shiyao used a lot of effort to suppress the urge to say "yes".

In the past, when Wu Chun left, Xu Shiyao would stand at the foot of the Ten Mile Mountain until Wu Chun's back disappeared from sight, but tonight, he didn't even dare to turn around.

Wu Chun told him that he wanted to have a love affair with him that no one knew about.

The different paths between humans and ghosts has always been a hurdle in front of Xu Shiyao. Even though he doesn't understand the rules and regulations of the world, Xu Shiyao still knows it well.

People who fall in love with ghosts are destined not to be happy.

Especially myself, my memory will be cleared every day at zero o'clock.

Xu Shiyao wanted to seal up everything about Wu Chun bit by bit, but the only thing he could do was to record Wu Chun's small expressions at certain moments and some things Wu Chun had done on the bark.

Soon, he used up many sheets of bark.

As time passed, Xu Shiyao spent more and more time looking at these tree barks after midnight every night.

But even so, he still can only record the tip of the iceberg about Wu Chun.

Such a relationship between him and Wu Chun was inherently unfair.

It seems that Xu Shiyao agreed to this relationship, and for a long time until Wu Chun came to his own world, Wu Chun would be the one who paid the most.

And when Wu Chun came to his own world, neither of them had the ability to retain memories.

What about them at that time.

Only relying on the things recorded on the bark of Xu Shiyao, can Wu Chun really remember him?

What stood between him and Wu Chun was not only the question of whether the world recognized it or not.

What's more, it's the reality that they know it will happen but they can't do anything about it.

At night, Xu Shiyao sighed slowly.

There is still a period of time before zero, and he is extremely entangled at this moment.

Wu Chun's words still echoed in his ears, like a sledgehammer hitting his brain again and again.

Wu Chun said that he would come back here in the future.

Xu Shiyao believed that he would definitely be able to do it.

If that was the case, they would definitely get along for a long time again, and he could no longer avoid Wu Chun, even in the daytime, when Xu Shiyao saw Wu Chun, he would have the urge to rush out of the tree.

Only two months or so made the relationship between them unbearable.

The unit of future calculation in years.

Xu Shiyao can even be sure that one day in the future, under Wu Chun's repeated attacks, the defense line Xu Shiyao defended will also collapse.

Xu Shiyao sighed again slowly, and he jumped onto the pine branch. That night, he stood on the top of the tree, looking in the direction of Grandpa Wu Chun's house all night.

……

Wu Chun still followed the village head around the next day.

His body began to feel the temperature of summer, even at the end of summer, Wu Chun still felt the long-lost hotness.

It was less than ten o'clock in the morning, and Wu Chun followed the village head to look around the land, planning what to do with the land after the tree was cut down, and what to do with it. After running for such a short period of time, Wu Chun was sweating profusely.

The feeling of stickiness caused by sweating is not good, but after the sweat comes out of the body, Wu Chun feels a lot more comfortable, and the dizziness in the brain begins to gradually decrease.

Wu Chun is no longer like yesterday, in addition to watching and learning, he also really practiced it.

Wu Chun seldom does farm work. Before that, Shilishan planted vegetables once, except for occasionally bringing some to his grandfather, and the rest can be picked by anyone passing by.

But this time, it was even more formal than last time. Wu Chun picked up the hoe, imitating the village head and other working farmers. Although Wu Chun was not very skilled at first, his shoulders became sore and numb when he swung the hoe for a long time. What's more, it didn't rain in Shili Village during this period. The sun was strong during the day, and the land was dry and hard. Under such circumstances, it took more effort to hoe the ground than usual.

In the beginning, Wu Chun's speed was on par with the village chief's, but later the gap between the two became wider and wider.

Seeing the sweating Wu Chun, the village head put down the hoe in his hand, came over to greet him with concern, "Go over there to drink some water and rest for a while."

"fine."

Wu Chun wiped his sweat with the back of his hand, and continued to dance with the hoe in his hand.

"It's your first time, take your time." The village chief continued to persuade.

"It's okay. I'm not proficient, so I can slow down a bit, but if I put down the hoe in my hand and go to rest as soon as I feel tired, how can I live here in the future."

As Wu Chun spoke, he glanced at the farmers working in the surrounding fields, and saw that they had a towel hanging around their necks, which they used to wipe off their sweat from time to time, and the hoes in their hands were sometimes slow, but never put down.

"Who is not tired?" Wu Chun seemed to be saying to the village chief, but also to himself, "People here are tired, and people living in the city also have their own troubles, but they have thoughts in their hearts. , Even if you are tired, you can persevere."

Wu Chun said and smiled at the village head, "Village head, I have a very clear idea in my heart now, and you helped me see this idea clearly, so I can stick to it."

Hearing what Wu Chun said, the village head finally nodded in relief, stretched out his hand and patted Wu Chun's shoulder, moved his lips, and finally said only two words, "Come on."

Wu Chun only cultivated a small piece of land in the morning, and his speed became slower and slower, and he couldn't even lift a hoe.

But as Wu Chun said, he didn't let himself go to rest.

When he was really tired, Wu Chun would hold the hoe with both hands and rest for a while, but not for a long time.

A long rest will make a person decadent. Through the experience of growing vegetables last time, Wu Chun has a deep understanding. Once the hoe is put down and the moment he sits down to rest, it is difficult to stand up again. Even if he stands up, at least Today, it will be difficult to swing a hoe again.

Wu Chun and the village chief went home with the farmers carrying their hoes on their shoulders. On the way, they talked and laughed, talked about this year's harvest, and their plans for this year's future.

Wu Chun gained a lot this morning. Wu Chun learned that for them, September to October is the busiest time. After the new year, men usually go out to follow the construction team to the construction site, and women stay in the building. At home, take care of the elderly and children.

Generally speaking, their annual income is not high.

If the income is not high, there is a corresponding way of life. During the year, they buy a little meat during the New Year, and occasionally mix it with it. Most of the vegetables are grown by themselves, and occasionally they go to the fields to dig some. wild vegetables.

Even so, when Wu Chun saw them, he still saw smiling faces.

Wu Chun, who had been busy all morning, was in a pretty good mood, but he didn't expect to hear a bad news for him when he returned to Grandpa's house.

——Wu Chun's mother called in the morning and will come to pick Wu Chun home tomorrow.

Hearing the news, the hoe in Wu Chun's hand immediately fell to the ground. He was stunned for a second or two before his brain realized that the only time left for him to spend with Xu Shiyao was tonight.

Wu Chun was much calmer than he imagined. During the time of eating at noon, he didn't say a word, and after a few mouthfuls, he didn't care about the pain and numbness in his body, and ran to Shili Mountain by himself.

Holding a thick coat in his hand, Wu Chun sat under the pine tree, looking into the distance, thinking about what happened during this period of time.

Especially what happened between him and Xu Shiyao.

Wu Chun has thought about it many times, but only this time, every time Wu Chun recalls one item, he feels bored in his heart.

Still the same sentence, the parting is right in front of our eyes.

For a month, Wu Chun didn't dare to think about it.

He was afraid that when he came back a month later, he would see the strangeness in Xu Shi's dazzling eyes.

Wu Chun thought that Xu Shiyao could "remember" himself every day, but he felt that it would be a great torture if he could not see himself while facing the bark of a tree every night.

Especially after Wu Chun knew that Xu Shiyao also had feelings for him.

Wu Chun sat under Shili Mountain all afternoon. At sunset, he felt the coolness behind him. Before he saw Xu Shiyao, Wu Chun said, "Sit down and watch the sunset together."

Although Xu Shiyao was suspicious, he still sat quietly beside Wu Chun.

"I'm leaving." Wu Chun said.

Xu Shiyao was startled, and after a while, he turned around and looked at Wu Chun, but Wu Chun's eyes were red.

"Wu Chun." He called softly.

"Xu Shiyao, even though this is very selfish, I still have to say, you have to think about me every night, if I come back and you forget about me, I will..."

As Wu Chun spoke, he couldn't help crying in a low voice, "I haven't caught you yet, and we're going to be separated for a month. I feel bad."

Wu Chun said while crying.

Xu Shiyao watched, and for the first time, he reached out and hugged Wu Chun in his arms.

Although Wu Chun was a little surprised, he quickly hugged Xu Shiyao with both hands and cried wantonly.

"Xu Shiyao, I don't care, you have to miss me every night."

"Okay." Xu Shiyao replied.

Even though Xu Shiyao said so, Wu Chun still felt very uncomfortable.

He hugged Wu Chun hard, and said with a sob, "You said next time I come back, it will be even more difficult to chase you!"

Xu Shiyao didn't speak this time.

Wu Chun didn't expect him to be able to answer for himself, he just buried himself in Xu Shiyao's arms, crying to himself.

After a while, Wu Chun only felt that Xu Shiyao pulled himself out of his arms. Before Wu Chun complained, a coolness came to his lips instantly.

Xu Shiyao was actually kissing himself!

Wu Chun's eyes widened in surprise, he kept an expression on his face, and was always let go by Xu Shiyao, just like that.

Wu Chun felt that the coolness passing through his lips numbed his brain and suspended his ability to think at the moment.

"You...you..." Wu Chun faltered for a long time, but still didn't say a word.

At this time, a faint green light flashed in front of Wu Chun, and a piece of tree bark was displayed in front of Wu Chun, with a sentence written on it-Xu Shiyao, this is the conclusion you came to after thinking, at some point in the future, you will be with Wu Chun Chun together.

"It should be because I was afraid of forgetting, so I wrote it down, but now I find that I don't need to remember it at all."

"What... what consciousness?" Wu Chun stammered and asked.

Xu Shiyao kept his arms around Wu Chun's waist, and with a little force, he brought him into his arms again.

"I found that when I saw the things about you on the bark, I reconsidered and came to this conclusion. Maybe my love for you has crossed the gap where memory cannot be retained."

"Then you...just now, you..." Wu Chun asked cautiously, what happened just now was too unreal, Xu Shiyao's transformation made Wu Chun seem to be living in a dream.

Wu Chun wanted to hear a clear answer from Xu Shiyao.

And Xu Shiyao also gave his clear answer.

"If we will be together at some point in the future, then I want to bring this point to the present, Wu Chun, let's fall in love..."
