Read Cointreau's Acacia

At dusk, the sky was full of red clouds, and the two figures were stretched very long. They walked slowly and returned home.

When Qi Jin arrived later, she ran over, seeing her brother's eyes filled with apology, then she took the clay figurine from Nongxue's hand and stuffed it back into his brother's hand, "Brother, Jin'er will use Nongxue's help." Then he took Nongxue and left home.

Although he didn't know what the younger sister was doing, Qi Jun let them go.

The bamboo forest is very long and green, but there is a bamboo house in the depths, and there is a brocade tree next to the bamboo house.Jindai is not easy to grow in Jinling City. The tree was transplanted here 15 years ago, but it did not bloom within two years. I thought it would not live long, but unexpectedly, it bloomed two years later.

The sky was getting dark, but Nongxue still saw the distinctive tree at a glance.

The flowering period has not yet come, and today's brocade flower is just an ordinary tree.

"In what year was it transplanted in the monk's house, a cluster of soft stalks adorned with colorful clouds. My father hoped that my future would be bright and dazzling like summer flowers. But it has not bloomed for 13 years." Qi Jin looked at the tree, most of the brocade flowers are in spring flowers Withered summer flowers bloom before they bloom, which also represents the endless vitality of a person, and symbolizes the vigorous and upward force.

"The tree is dead, so it should be discarded." Nongxue said softly.

"It's just waiting for someone." Qi Jin still remembers the first time it bloomed 13 years ago. "I'm also waiting for someone."

Nongxue frowned slightly, looked at the tree, and remained silent.

Qi Jin walked into the bamboo house, a candle was lit inside, Nongxue looked over, the candle light was reflected on Qi Jin's face, the slightly flickering candle light made her look a little unreal, like the rare happiness in memory, that Little girl with a smile on her face.

Qi Jin stretched out his hand, just like he did 13 years ago.

Nongxue was in a daze, she didn't know if it was a mistake in her eyes or a mistake in her memory, the girl in front of her was only seven years old.She stretched out her hand, which was also a small hand, as small as hers. The two small hands were held together. Today, 13 years later, the same two hands are held together.Qi Jin stared at her, just like Xianyun stared at her 13 years ago.

The two walked in, the furnishings were simple and spotless, but there was a faint fragrance of tea, and the ink on the desk was still wet.

"Are you here often?" Nongxue walked to the desk, looking at everything in front of her, it didn't look like a place she hadn't lived in for a long time.

"I often come here, waiting for the flowers to bloom, waiting for people to return." When Qi Jin said this, he looked at her, as if he was speaking to her. "13 years ago, Jindai flowers bloomed very late, and they bloomed in late summer and early autumn."

"It's really strange."

"I also thought it was strange at the time, no, it should be said to be a miracle." Qi Jin walked to her side. "So I made a wish here 13 years ago." Make a wish and bury it under the brocade tree.

"Did the wish come true?" Nongxue asked.

Qi Jin didn't answer immediately, but went back to the courtyard, and Nongxue followed her, looking at the brocade tree.There is candlelight in the house, but it is much clearer at this moment. Although it has not yet bloomed, there are a few small buds on the branches. Qi Jin looked at it in surprise: "Maybe it will come true." She turned her head, stared at her deeply.

Nongxue just looked at those few small flower buds, a trace of nostalgia flashed in his eyes.

Qi Jin suddenly held her hand, leading her to the desk in the bamboo house.

Picking up a pen and dipping it in ink, Qi Jin said: "The brocade ribbon flower will make your wish come true." She picked up a piece of paper and walked to the door. Under the tree, wait for the wish to come true, and then take it out.”

Nongxue watched her walk out of the bamboo hut, she looked at the white paper on the desk, she was in a daze, the tears in her eyes gleamed like the flickering candlelight at this moment.

Finally, she picked up the pen, dipped in the ink, and wrote on the paper what she wanted to say but couldn't.

The candlelight dances and flickers, the breeze blows through the branches and leaves of the brocade tree, and the stars and the moon shine together, blending in here.

The letter was received in an envelope, Nongxue took it in her hand, and walked to the door, Qi Jin was already waiting there, seeing that she had finished writing, she went to the bamboo house, and when she came out again, there were two locks in her hand. small box.

"Lock this box, and you can only open it when your wish is fulfilled." Qi Jin said, then put his envelope in one of the boxes, locked it, and kept the key on him.

Nongxue lowered her head, and after a while she put the letter in the box, locked it, and put the key in her pocket.Raising his head, Qi Jin has already dug a hole behind the brocade daisy tree.She looked at the place in front of the Jindai flower tree, then walked over.

Qi Jin took Nongxue's box, put her boxes together, and then buried the soil again.

Nongxue buried the soil with her, and a leaf fell and landed right next to her hand.In the long river of time, a piece of brocade flower petals fell and landed beside the little hand.

"Nengxue." Qi Jin said suddenly. "Actually, you don't like brother, do you?"

Nong Xue paused, but did not answer.She raised her head and looked into Qi Jin's eyes, with a slight smile on her lips, as if in a lifetime.
