I didn't become a human today

Through the sparse leaves on the top, you can faintly see a little bit of starlight.

There is nothing special about this century-old tea tree. The only thing that makes Ji Ran feel weird is the three scratches on the trunk.

Ji Ran felt some nicks with his hands, the shortest nick, this is him when he was five years old.

Going up, six years old, seven years old... It turns out that he has grown so tall at the age of seven.Ji Ran is not sure that there is nothing wrong with this century-old tea tree, even though this tree has accompanied him throughout his childhood.Since he recovered from his illness at the age of seven, he has forgotten many things. Ji Ran feels that the memories he lost seem insignificant, but they are actually very important to him.

A red lantern, from far to near.

"I haven't slept yet." Uncle Liang held up the lantern and saw Ji Ran hovering under the tea tree.

"Can't sleep." Uncle Liang, who disappeared for a few days in a row, suddenly reappeared in the middle of the night, making Ji feel a little bit on guard.

Uncle Liang groped around for a while, then took out a small oiled paper bag and handed it to Ji Ran.

"By the way, the Kuding tea is ready. There is only this small bag for now. I don't know how the new tea tastes this year. Although there are few of these, I can try something new first. The rest will have to wait for a while."

He hunched over, and his figure slowly disappeared into the courtyard.

Ji Ran unfolded the oiled paper bag, and the smell of new tea made him sober up.

If he can't survive this catastrophe, then this may be the last time he will drink Kudingcha in his life.

He sighed and took more time to brew the pot of tea.

Small and shriveled tea leaves, after soaking in water, the shrunken leaves gradually stretched, revealing a bright green color. Ji Ran raised his glass, facing this century-old tea tree, a strange idea suddenly appeared in his head, maybe after drinking this cup of tea , he will know the tree better.

In fact, Ji Ran's idea came true.

In this incredible way.

When the tea entered his stomach, accompanied by the remaining bursts of bitterness, the world in front of Ji Ran changed instantly.

He unexpectedly found that he was looking around the whole world from the perspective of this tea tree.

All the scenery is black and white, ranging from every tree in the mountains to a weed on the edge of the courtyard.

In addition to black and white, Ji Ran also discovered that he could see some glowing veins on all living things in this world.

Tree roots, leaf veins, layer upon layer, form a huge net, and the light spots gather together, passing through and flowing through these veins.

For another example, the direction Ji Ran sees right now is the wing room they lived in before.He could see Hoshino-san inside the house and Buddha Tooth sleeping on the roof through the wall, and this kind of veins were also found in their bodies.

The large veins are divided into small veins layer by layer, and the red light flows in the veins.

He looked at his hands again, and it turned out that he also had these veins all over his body, but the red light flowing in the veins was very weak, like a river that was about to dry up.

He can see the life of all things in the world.

Different living bodies have lights of different colors flowing in their bodies, and when those lights disappear, it means that death has come.

Ji Ran staggered and opened the door of the tea house, and looked towards the mountains and forests. Lights of different colors and veins of different shapes were intertwined together, forming a huge sea of ​​light.

And at the farthest end of Guanghai, where it meets the sky, there is a black, terrifying shadow.

The shadow was huge, crawling on the ground like a monster, writhing in pain, roaring, and constantly changing its shape.

Around the shadow, those lights dimmed little by little...

"Look at these mountains." A voice sounded in his head, "They are dying."

Of course he knew that voice, which belonged to the fairy who had fallen before him.

"What do you want me to do?" Ji Ran squatted on the ground in pain, "What do you want me to do?"

"You fell in front of me and gave me this. What exactly do you want me to understand? What should I know? Why do I lose those memories? What is that monster? What should I do to survive!" Ji When Ran said this, it was almost in a roaring gesture.

The voice gradually became calmer, kind and warm, and comforted him constantly, "My child, when the knot cannot be untied, I can only calm down and sort it out bit by bit. The same is true for these things, one by one. , piece by piece...you are the chosen one and only you can do it."

The sound gradually faded away.

Ji Ran's back was already soaked in blood.

He closed his eyes in pain, and when he opened them again, he saw a notch glowing on the trunk of the century-old tea tree.

Those light sources continuously flowed out from the notch, and then scattered in the wind, disappearing completely.At the same time, Ji Ran felt that there was a wound on his back as if it was being burned by a blazing fire, and his eyes turned black from the pain.

He has always felt that the scars on his back seem to be related to these three nicks

He bent down slightly, unable to stand still, stretched out his hand to support the tree, and covered the notch with his palm. At that moment, countless lights burst out from the notch, and the whole night sky was as bright as day.

"Come and play hide and seek." A voice came from the tree.

Ji Ran stood there in a daze, only feeling that his eyes were completely white. After the strong light passed, the boundaries of his vision gradually became outlines, and various things emerged clearly.

Another world has changed.

Ji Ran looked at everything in front of him in disbelief.

He was still standing in the tea house, standing under the century-old tea tree, but everything around him had already changed...became what he remembered...

Looking at myself again, he has short arms and legs, and he walks unsteadily, as if a gust of wind could blow him away

He turned into a little kid!

From the other side of the tree, Papa Ji's familiar voice came, "Lean back, yes, go back."

Father Ji still looks like when he was young!Look at this tea house again, isn't it? This tea house is still in his memory and belongs to the Ji family's tea house.

When Ji Ran was still full of doubts, Father Ji had already pushed him against the tree trunk. Ji Ran raised his head in a trance, the crown of the tea tree was extremely lush, and after the light rain, new buds appeared. Livelier.

Father Ji squinted his eyes and carved a line on the tree trunk above his head with a carving knife, comparing and comparing with his hands, "Five years old, I only grow so small, isn't it too small? When I was five years old, I was comparable to this." The kid is much stronger!"

The old man drying the tea leaves beside him is the old housekeeper of the Ji family. He flipped through the tea leaves in the bamboo stick and stroked his beard, "Master, that tree is a century-old tea tree passed down from our ancestors. It can't be engraved..."

"Why can't it be engraved? I said I can engrave it. Nothing is as important as my son!"

Familiar words...is this...back in time?
