Dryad who went to town he swelled

Lu Yuqiang slowly stepped on the stone road covered with moss.

It has been rainy in Jingjiang for the past few days, and there is plenty of rain, especially on the country roads, where a lot of water has accumulated on the uneven stone slabs. Lu Yuqiang wore a pair of white sneakers, and there were a lot of water splashes on the uppers, seeping wetly water.

His old house had a big yard. At that time, land was not expensive to buy. His father followed Daliu to do business and saved a lot of money. So he built a big villa that was shocking at the time. I also spent money to transplant an old peach tree that is said to be old from other places, with dense branches and big, sweet and fragrant fruits, which are mouth-watering.

The red wooden door was closed tightly with a lock in the middle. Fortunately, Lu Yuqiang went to the basement of his home last night, rummaged through the old things for a long time, and finally found the door key that had been dusty for many years.

It only took ten seconds to open the door. Lu Yuqiang took a step back and stood far away before pushing the door. Even so, he would inevitably be choked by the flying dust.The sun was shining brightly at noon in summer, and if you squinted closely, you could still see strands of light in the air. Lu Yuqiang waved away the dust in front of him and entered the door.

As soon as he entered the door, he was dumbfounded.

There was a stone table under the peach tree in the courtyard, and there was a young man sitting on the table, with a slender figure. Just looking at his back, one couldn't tell his exact age. Lu Yuqiang couldn't even guess whether he was an adult. A bunch of small braids were tied into the rope, braids soaring to the sky, trembling slightly with the movement of the boy shaking his head and reading.

Next to it were dried peaches that were drying on the cloth, some were more than half dried, and some were obviously freshly dried. They were plump and chubby, and the edges were not cut evenly.

"Abby's fourth brother is number one." The voice was familiar, as if he had heard it somewhere before.

After being stunned for a moment, Lu Yuqiang opened the door completely, and called him vigilantly, "Hello?"

The book in Mu Qing's hand fell to the ground, the sound stopped abruptly, his shoulders shook violently, and he refused to turn around, with his back to Lu Yuqiang all the time, he replied loudly: "Hey."

"Why are you here?" Lu Yuqiang walked in slowly, and then stood a few steps away from him, trying to explain to him, "This is my old house, and we don't seem to be renting it out."

"Yeah." Mu Qing whispered, "I lived here by myself, I didn't rent it out."

"Are you a local?" Lu Yuqiang asked again. He felt that the young man in front of him looked very familiar, and his figure gradually overlapped with the man at the airport yesterday. He found it ridiculous, "Can you turn around, I won't call the police."

"Oh ok." Mu Qing jumped off the table, stepped barefoot on the stone floor of the courtyard, and wore a pair of knee-length shorts. He was too white, as white as smooth milk, and his calves were clean There was no hair, and it didn't look like a man's leg.

It may not be fully developed, but it looks less than twenty anyway.

Lu Yuqiang: "!"

"You—" It took him a long time to squeeze out the word, and then he spoke more smoothly, "Why are you here?"

Mu Qing laughed, showing two shallow dimples: "I am this peach tree, your godfather. I successfully transformed a few months ago, so I came to the city yesterday to find you."

Lu Yuqiang waved his hand: "Stop, let me calm down."

"Okay, Qiang Qiang, don't be afraid, I will always be your godfather, and I won't harm you." Mu Qing stood a few steps away from him with his hands behind his back, poking out his ten toes nervously, Lu Yuqiang stared at him. Glancing at it, he finally turned his head in embarrassment.

After ten seconds, Mu Qing asked him: "Qiangqiang, have you calmed down yet?"

Lu Yuqiang: "Can you take it easy?"

"Oh, I'm just happy, glad you finally came back to see me." Mu Qing muttered, "Can I hug you?"

Lu Yuqiang finally calmed down a bit, adjusted his tone and asked Mu Qing: "How do you prove that you are not a human being, but that tree—" He was almost at a loss for words, but luckily he had the ability to adapt, "That peach tree."

Mu Qing pointed to his head: "Look at me, what do you see."

Lu Yuqiang looked over intently, and saw that the braids on Muqing's head slowly turned into branches and leaves of the tree trunk, and tender green shoots emerged. He shook his head again, and it became the same again.

Mu Qing: "Look, I've sprouted, Qiang Qiang, do you believe me now?"

Even though Lu Yuqiang was an atheist, he had to believe it at this time, and it was because he believed it that he felt extremely embarrassed. At this time, Mu Qing asked him again: "Can I hug you, Qiang Qiang."

"Don't—" Lu Yuqiang hadn't finished his refusal, when he saw Mu Qing, like a small bomb, pinpointed the hole in his arms and dropped it.

Lu Yuqiang hugged him subconsciously, Mu Qing hugged him tightly, and murmured: "You finally came back to see me, I knew you would come, you were obedient when you were young, If you are told to go east, you dare not go west.”

Lu Yuqiang was surprised if this tree would praise people.

"It was very skinny when I was a child." He whispered, he thought that Mu Qing might have been dizzy when he was an old tree, and when he was a child, he was the little bully in this area, and he was invincible all over the school. Although he was weak, he was fat Ah, even if it is puffy, it is scary to look at. The children think that he can sit them to death, so they dare not mess with him.

"Well, it's good if you can come anyway. Last time I sent a message to you, but they deleted it, saying that I was false news, and it made me angry." Mu Qing straightened up, covering his face in embarrassment. Turning his face, he felt that he should look like an adult, so he said to Lu Yuqiang, "I'll cook for you, what do you want to eat?"

Lu Yuqiang was absent-minded, and said casually, "Anything is fine."

"Okay!" Mu Qing pulled him to sit on the stone bench next to him, grabbed Lu Yuqiang's hair and put it in his palm to look carefully, then asked, "What's the matter with Qiang Qiang's hair?"

Mu Qing's hands were quite soft, even the soft Lu Yuqiang was a little embarrassed, he leaned back slightly, avoiding his movements, and said: "Dye it, this color is popular now."

"It's not good-looking." Mu Qing shook his head and denied it. He said to Lu Yuqiang like any strict parent, "Black looks good, and it will be more handsome."

Then he said seriously: "You can't learn to be bad."

Everything he said was right, everything was right, Lu Yuqiang persuaded himself in this way, so he nodded his head, and answered a few words in random, Mu Qing was finally satisfied, touched his head, and said, "That's really good."

He is poor, and all the clothes on his body were rummaged from Lu Yuqiang's house, which fit him just right. Maybe the old girl bought clothes for his son before, and thought he could wear them later, but in the end they were all cheaper. clear.However, except for some things dug out from the Lu family, Mu Qing has no property. He felt that what he did as a parent was a real failure. He wanted to give Lu Yuqiang some snacks that should be rewarded for his obedience, but in the end he gave him a bag in embarrassment. dried fruit.

Lu Yuqiang picked it up and saw that it was the trunk of a peach tree. He was a little surprised, and raised his head and asked Muqing: "This is the fruit you borne."

"Eating is good for your body, it absorbs aura." Mu Qing explained to him, "When you were a child, you would get fat when you drank saliva. Remember, these dried fruits of mine can regulate your body, so that you can eat nothing will be fat."

It sounded exciting, Lu Yuqiang shook the dried fruit and said hello, and Mu Qing happily went into the house to cook for him. The Lu family used an induction cooker at that time, but the electricity bill in the village still depends on how many employees come to the house The old model of how much to charge, as long as you can handle the charge, so Mu Qing has lived here for several months, and no one has found anything wrong.

After Mu Qing left, Lu Yuqiang took a piece of dried fruit and wanted to stuff it into his mouth, but halfway he put it down embarrassingly.

It's really strange, it would be better if the dried fruit came from an ordinary fruit tree, but Lu Yuqiang found it difficult to eat it if it belonged to Mu Qing, as if he was eating a part of the opponent's body, he was not so heavy.

Lu Yuqiang got up quietly, took a look into the room, finally made up his mind, and wrote him a note with the stationery that Mu Qing put on the stone table to study.

The general idea is, I’m going home first. Today’s incident made it difficult for me, a positive teenager who has been immersed in atheism for many years, to accept it, but this emotion is only temporary. Here we are, and we will be back when the time comes.By the way, he also left his contact information and home address, to reassure Mu Qing that if he misses him, he can also come to the city to find him.

Lu Yuqiang felt that it was not good for him to leave without saying goodbye, but he was indeed in a mess. A godfather appeared out of nowhere, and the godfather was still a spirit made of a peach tree. It would be difficult to accept whoever it was. The key point is that the appearance of this little curly hair looks A little younger than him, Lu Yuqiang looked at his face and couldn't say the word "daddy" at all.

Before he left quickly, he turned back and guessed about Muqing's general situation. He thought that he was short of money in all likelihood, so he put down a few more coins to make Muqing live a better life. better.

After doing all this, Lu Yuqiang opened the door and left. He walked leisurely when he came, and hurried when he left. When he walked out of the alley, he met his former neighbor, an elderly man in his 70s and [-]s. Lu Yuqiang recognized this person at a glance. The kind old lady who once gave herself candy stopped and called grandma.

The other party said: "Is it Qiang Qiang? The last time my granddaughter showed me a photo, but I didn't recognize her. She used to be a chubby kid. She lost weight and looked a lot handsome. No wonder so many little girls like it."

Lu Yuqiang smiled, and then heard the old lady talk about the young man renting at his house, obviously Mu Qing, he was a little surprised, so he asked some more detailed information, the old lady said that the young man appeared a few months ago At first, the poor could not afford to eat, barefoot, wearing clothes several sizes too big, dressed like a beggar, and came to their house to beg for a few bites.

A very poor child, the old lady still sighed when she recalled it. At that time, when he saw the rice, he shed tears while eating, which frightened the whole family, and hurriedly added vegetables to him.

After he ate and drank enough, he gave them a bag of dried fruit as a thank-you gift. The old lady was very emotional when she said this. She felt that the dried fruit was a bit magical. After eating it, he felt warm all over his body. It also became much lighter, and she was able to walk on the ground soon, but no one could believe her words, and everyone thought it was just a psychological effect.

Lu Yuqiang believed it. After saying goodbye to the old lady, he walked towards the entrance of the village again. When he came, he drove, but because the village road was narrow, he parked the car outside the village, and he was about to walk there now.It was noon at this time, and the sun was scorching. Lu Yuqiang walked fast, fearing the sun, and wanting to leave in a hurry. When he was about to reach out to open the door, he lowered his head and saw in the rearview mirror in front of him, slowly showing the Muqing's shadow.

His little godfather's voice was still as immature as ever, with the clearness of a teenager, he asked, "Qiang Qiang, where are you going?"

With some hazy innocence and ignorance, as if he simply thought that Lu Yuqiang was out for a walk at the entrance of the village, Lu Yuqiang turned around in embarrassment, and explained to Mu Qing: "Something was left on the car, do you want a gift?" He didn't know why Coaxing Muqing, he tentatively said, "I have a big baby here."

"Then hurry up and take it, we'll go back after we finish it." Mu Qing leaned forward and said urgently.

Lu Yuqiang didn't know, just now Mu Qing didn't see him when he went back to the yard, and he was so angry that he dropped several big bowls, and now he was also sulking, thinking that he was rejected by his son, but in the end he was still reluctant Getting angry at Lu Yuqiang, she had no choice but to feel wronged, pursed her lips, and kept staring at Lu Yuqiang eagerly, as if she wanted to see him as a fool.

Under his gaze, Lu Yuqiang began to be strongly condemned by a kind of conscience.
