The Story of Planting Trees

Guo Lutuo, I don't know what it was called at the beginning, he is sick and crouching, and he is like a camel, and people in his hometown call it a camel.

You may not believe it, when I was young, I saw a goblin, it was on the Liangshan Mountain outside Chang'an City, I remember there was a small temple there, the incense was not very strong, the abbot was a kind-hearted old monk, and he arrived one day Wan smiled at everyone.

At that time, I was not what I am now.

My father is a scholar, and all the scholars in the nearby villages are his students. Although his family background is not considered rich, he is also solid and reliable. My father is very strict. He himself failed to pass the exam, so he hopes that I can pass the exam. Juren, I fulfilled his wish. Fortunately, I was able to do my best. I became a scholar at the age of 17. Later, I built a small house on Liangshan outside the city, where I studied, next to the ruined temple.

The night he came was the day of the Waking of Insects, and outside the window some kind of bug called Zheng Huan.I was trying on the clothes, and I was reading by an oil lamp, feeling dizzy and feeling sick in my stomach.

Suddenly I heard a voice calling the door, I didn't think about it, the door calling at this time could only be the understanding abbot in the temple, who was entrusted by my family to bring me a bowl of noodles to satisfy my hunger.

Then he just appeared in front of my eyes.

The emerald green clothes, smiling eyebrows, and wet mist in the hair, as if, as if he just walked out of some painting, holding a food box with a bowl of plain noodles in his hand.

He said, the abbot has guests tonight and he can’t get away, so he asked me to bring you a bowl of noodles

I took it in a daze, my eyes glued to his body.

He said, what a stupid scholar, why don't you eat noodles and keep looking at me?

I suddenly realized that there was no woman over there, but it also made me lose my mind.

He swaggered and sat in front of my desk, urging me, eat quickly, I will take the food back to the abbot after eating,

Oh, oh, I responded repeatedly, sucking the noodles in big mouthfuls, gobbling them voraciously, and not knowing the taste.

He laughed again, while fiddling with my book, why do you eat like that little tiger, I won't snatch it from you!

I'm done, I thought, I'm afraid I've encountered a ghost in the mountains that sucks people's souls, but I seem to have fallen into it.

************************************************** ***************************

Say I'm a goblin?I'm not a fairy!No, I'm no ordinary fairy!

There is a willow tree at the gate of Guang'an Temple, have you seen it?I don't know which god broke a wicker from Nanzhou and stuck it in the soil, and don't know which bodhisattva put a drop of that fairy holy water on my head, and I opened my eyes.

I listened to the Buddhist scriptures in front of this temple for hundreds of years, edified by incense, and finally turned into a human body. You can call me a demon, but I prefer you to call me Xiaoxian, Liu Xiaoxian, how nice it is!

This temple has experienced 470 seven years of wind and rain. Since I got a human body, every abbot in the temple is my good friend. I watched them grow from a small novice monk to finally lie in a coffin with a long beard. , Always lament that life is too short.Except for the pilgrims and woodcutters on the mountain, I have never seen anyone else living here, so this year, a scholar came to the mountain, and I am really interested.

But he is so boring, he only knows how to read and read every day, and he doesn't know what treasures are in the book.

That night, a family of pilgrims who came and went often asked the abbot to talk. The abbot was unable to deliver food to the scholar. For some reason, I suddenly felt teasing, so I volunteered to accept the task. Said to me, Brother Liu, that kid is timid, don't scare him!

how come!I just want to see what treasures are in his book!

That scholar was really interesting, he actually looked at me dumbfounded.Well, I also know that I am very good-looking. I flipped through his books again and again, and they were full of boring things, but there was nothing interesting. It’s so pitiful. I must have never seen anything in the world to be able to deal with these things. so interested.

So I resolved to save the poor man.

Simply, I will come and tell him stories every day from now on!

******************************************************************************

After that night, he was the one who delivered my meals.

I know that he is not a mortal, how can a mortal have such a magnanimity?I replaced my reading and endorsement every night with listening to his stories. I knew that Liangshan was not called Liangshan before, but had two names. The temple on the mountain was Xiangguo Temple 500 years ago, and I had been a nunnery for two years. Although he is a little fairy, he grew up listening to Buddhist scriptures, and the willow tree in front of the temple is his real body.

Since I found out about this, I went to secretly fertilize the tree every night, even if I didn't do anything, reading a book and playing the flute while relying on him, I was very happy in my heart.I think I probably fell in love with him.

Time flies, and it's autumn in a blink of an eye

When he came again, he wrapped his head with a big veil. I found it strange. I secretly unwrapped it while he was taking a nap on my bed, but I couldn't help laughing. Seeing him wake up, I felt extremely resentful. Looking at him, I touched his bald head, it doesn't matter, our hair will grow out next spring!

Next spring, next spring, I'm going to take part in that Chunwei.

I haven't figured out how to tell him that when I come back from the exam, I will move him to my own yard, so that he can also walk on the street and look around.

************************************************** ***************************

I am not happy.

He is leaving.

When I told the abbot this, the abbot smiled all over his face, chanted the Buddha's name, and said, Brother Liu, you have really moved your heart.

Are you moved?What does it mean to move one's heart?Do you just want to be with someone all the time?and that idiot?

Amitabha, the abbot said, I don't understand either.

Well, of course, I’ve lived for 500 years and I don’t understand it, how could you, a brat!

The abbot stopped talking.

On the day he left, I went to him, feeling tight in my chest and wanting to cry.

He kissed my hand, kissed my eyes, told me to wait for him, he will come back soon, he said that when he came back, he would be with me forever, never to be separated, before leaving, he cut I picked up a wicker and held it in my hand, and told me that it was called a knotted hair pillow mat, tied with a red string, and put it on my chest.

Well, then I will wait obediently.

But this wait has been waiting for many years.

I saw him riding a tall horse back home from the mountain.

Decorated with lanterns and festoons, ten miles of brocade tents, he is all red and eye-catching, and he follows the red and red sedan chair, blowing and playing, so that it is very lively.

But he never came to me.

Does he not want me anymore?that fool

I came home from the mountains, packed my bags, went to Beijing, took the exam, passed the exam, and everything else followed.

Those days in the mountains were like a dream. Now that I wake up from the dream, I can't help but blame myself for being distracted by a goblin, and to spend a ridiculous year with a man.

Returning home, Yijin, the matchmaker stepped through the threshold, I looked at the mountain, but suddenly lost the courage to go up the mountain.

In the twelfth lunar month, I married that woman home, in front of the mandarin duck tent, under the red candle window, I looked at my new wife's shy face, and thought of his eyes. In this weather, did he lose all his hair again?

No, what was I thinking!

Maybe it was because I was guilty and afraid of his revenge. Knowing that he would not be able to go down the mountain, I still invited a very powerful Taoist priest to set up a formation around the house. Go down and kill.

After thanking you thousands of times, I sent the Taoist priest away, and I can sit back and relax.

The next winter, my child was born, but took his mother's life away.

Just over a month after his birthday, the house suddenly ran out of water, and the fire burned so big that the whole street was glowing red, and finally burned to Liangshan.

A broken beam hit my waist, and I passed out.

I thought I was going to die, but when I woke up, I was actually in the medical hall.The fire burned for three days, and there were 47 people in my house, most of whom survived.

The people in the hospital said that it was a young man in green clothes who dragged us out of the sea of ​​fire one by one, and we were really seriously injured.

Regardless of my back injury, I got up in a panic and went to Liangshan.

It's him!

************************************************** ***************************

What a big fire on the mountain!

My clothes are almost burned!

Looking down, how did the fire come from the direction of his house!I'm going to save him!

I can't go down the mountain, what should I do!I had no choice but to forcefully pull the root out of the soil, it hurt so much, I was about to cry, I'm afraid I won't see him again after this...

I endured the pain and rushed to the front of his house, why is there a large formation emitting golden light?I reached out and touched it, and the light burned my palm immediately, my God!

A baby's cry came from the sea of ​​fire. Is that his child?I was a little dazed, but time did not allow me to be in a daze. For 500 years, I have worked hard to cultivate myself, and I have been able to break through the battle.

Since it is called a killing formation, anyone who passes through the formation will undoubtedly die.

Anyway, I did my best.

He fell in the lobby, and the broken beam hit his waist.

The fire dried my moisture, and I finally sent that child to the hospital.

I...I...I've been calling you a fool, but in fact I'm a fool...I don't know your name yet...you will tell me if you have a chance in the future...

************************************************** ***************************

Most of Liangshan was burned.

I wailed beside the charred willow stump.

My back is broken and I can't straighten up now.With the child, all the money is gone, I want to escape, but I can't bear to leave Chang'an City.

It's been so many years, I've planted countless trees, but I can't save him alone. This is probably the retribution God gave me to a heartless person.

He never fell asleep in the middle of the night, probably because he blamed me, but those days on the mountain became more and more clear in his memory, his smile, his clothes, his facial features.

It's autumn again, and the wind is blowing.

Look at the trees planted by camels, or migrate, all are alive and luxuriant, and they will bear fruit early.
