Non-vegetation

There lived a tree fairy in the small city. He was not a new tree less than a hundred years old in the city. Long, long ago, there was an ancient tree in the later city. People at that time regarded it as a god and often came to worship and sacrifice. His spiritual power gathered in one place, and he condensed into a tree fairy day after day.The tree fairy is the result of people's hope. It blesses the people here year after year, until the fire of war ignites the villages and towns, and the ancient trees and the people blessed by the tree fairy are turned into coke and buried in the soil.But the tree fairy still exists, he is not attached to the ancient tree, it is the blessing of the people who lived in the past, the past cannot be destroyed by the later war, so the tree fairy stayed, watching the scorched earth silently, watching the passage of time, the vicissitudes of life .Later, some people settled down here again, and the newcomers built the Earth Temple. The God of Earth already existed. Once the temple was built, the old man who was in charge of the land lived in it very rudely, and then found the curious looking around. tree fairy.

The tree fairy lived for a long time, but when the land was barren, he was like a child who stopped growing, still ignorant.It took less than a hundred years for the tree fairy to be formed and the villages and towns to be destroyed. For a natural spirit, this is too short, like a child who has just been weaned.

The new land was lonely, so he led the little tree fairy back to the land temple.

"It's not easy, kid, you are not materialized, but the believers who enshrine you are gone, every move you make consumes the spiritual power that belongs to the past, and when the spiritual power is exhausted, you will disappear gone."

The tree fairy didn't have time to give birth to the seven emotions and six desires, but just knew it, no panic, no anxiety, no emotion.

Later, the Earth Temple disappeared and was replaced by a small roadside shrine.The land old man shrunk to the size of a potato cursing and lived in a simple house dozens of times smaller.

The muddy ground in front of the shrine was paved with cement and then covered with asphalt, and guardrails were installed on both sides of the road, and the residents were getting farther and farther away...

Every day, the tree fairy left the small shrine early and turned into a human height, wearing shorts, short-sleeved sandals and slippers, like a house who went downstairs to pick up the courier, walking translucently in the city several miles away.A leaf was stuck to the tree fairy's shoulder, dripping unnaturally green among the traffic.

No one could see the Tree Fairy, but the bustling crowd didn't hit him either.

"The land said, I don't have the seven emotions and six desires, let me look at the world more, get involved in the smoke and fire, and I don't need to count my remaining spiritual power to live every day when I get caught in the smoke and fire. But I counted it, it is my future passion I can live another two or three hundred years if I can't get it right, and I don't want to live forever, so there's nothing to worry about. Don't you think so?" The tree fairy tilted his head and touched the leaf standing on his shoulder.

"..."

"Looking at the human world for such a long time, apart from the regret that I can't be a human being, it hasn't changed much. Things like seven emotions, if I say it, are like five blessings. After hundreds of years, they still lack a dedication blessing. How can I draw it?" They can’t be drawn uniformly, otherwise anything with a bit of aura can become a fairy or a god.”

"..."

"Let me tell you, you leaf is good for everything, but it's too boring. I talk so much every day, why don't you give me a response?"

"There is a change, your words have increased."

"You guy who knows nothing about emotions and desires! Indifference! Ruthless!!!"

The communication between the two voices didn't blend into the surrounding world, and was closely connected with the surrounding eyes, flowing brightly and stubbornly alone.

From day to night, the tree fairy walked tirelessly, passing a deep alley, stopped, and quietly looked at the students who were being blackmailed by the gangsters.

Shuxian and Ye Zi squatted at the entrance of the alley, because they would not be seen by others, they didn't pay attention to their appearance.

"It's too dark inside, I can't see clearly, why don't we get closer?"

"Grandpa Land said that you should stay away from bad people."

"You short-sighted person, we are here to see all kinds of things in the world, not for inspection by superiors. Naturally, we have to be exposed to all kinds of events. Besides, it is not the first time we have watched this kind of excitement."

"..."

Yixian Yiye tiptoed into the alley, although no one could see them.No matter how dim the light is, the face of the person under the light can turn pale. The blackmailed high school students allow themselves to be pushed and beaten, wandering around in the dark alley.

"Tsk, poor people are everywhere. There are as many dark corners as there are as many people's cries of sex being drowned in the darkness. What kind of red, orange, yellow and green dust is there in the world? It's just a bizarre abyss."

"..."

Ye Zi's silence didn't last for a day or two, and the tree fairy had long been used to it.

The victim was wearing the school uniform of a high school not far away. Half of the bright blue and white on the school uniform faded and faded, while the other half was stained with dust and became grayer and blacker.The high school student fumbled in the pocket with his scratched hands, and shrunk unknowingly as the skinned part of his arm was caught by the blunt zipper on the pocket.

"What are you fussing about? You still want to throw a female alarm and run away? Little bastard, there are many tricks."

The high school student stopped the movement of his hands, raised his eyes and waited for the bastard who spoke: "You have robbed me so many times, if I thought it would be useful, I would have brought it with me, and you still need to teach me?"

The cold tone in the words angered the bastard who spoke, and he punched down, leaving a vivid red mark on the high school student's pale face.

"You bastard, have you grown courageous today? I'll kill you bastard!"

The other gangsters listened, and hurriedly pushed the high school student to the ground, punched and kicked, carefully avoiding the head, and pretended to be ruthless.The beating was almost done, and the leading gangster put his hand into the pocket of the high school student himself, and took out a piece of five yuan.

"Fuck, why are you so small, so poor and talkative." After speaking, he quickly stuffed it into his bag.

The gangsters swaggered past the tree fairies and leaves, and walked into the street lights on the side of the road like a triumphant triumph.

Tree Fairy and Ye Zi stared at the frail student curled up in the alley, with sympathy on their faces.But for the tree fairy with incomplete emotions and the leaf with no emotions, sympathy is just a feeling that will be triggered when the time comes, without the complete support of emotions, occasional sympathy is just a hiccup, and it’s over after a hiccup. The geese pass without a trace.

The tree fairy restrained her giraffe posture when watching the excitement, and imitated the people in this world, patted her clothes and walked away.Just two steps away, the student behind him got up and dusted himself off.Maybe it's because there is really ash, the students dust it more naturally than the tree fairy.Without complaining or howling too much, he limped back while leaning on the wall quietly.

"It's not easy." The tree fairy rubbed a translucent object on his body, threw it at the student's feet, and landed on the ground like a lotus root powder ball with a nose and eyes, bouncing around and following the student.And the tree fairy also became shorter with the lump of meatball.

Ye Zi rarely spoke: "Peeping Tom."

"I find it interesting, observing life from multiple angles, what do you know?"

The tree fairy took off the leaves that hung on his shoulders from time to time, wrapped him tightly with his hands, closed his eyes and meditated on the ancient spell. The tree fairy's body gradually became smaller, from a youth to a young child, Then the half-legged child turned into a large lotus root flour ball, and the smaller ball rolled up in place, and disappeared into the alley with a thud.And in the small shrine of the land, a young tree fairy appeared in front of the land from a young age.

The land is still the same as it was hundreds of years ago, the appearance of the clothes, even the stubble of the hair has not grown half a bit: "Happiness, anger, sorrow, and fear, you have seen it a hundred years ago, and you will still only have four emotions after a hundred years."

"Others have all the seven emotions together, and they have everything. I am the only one who lacks something. Land Lord, I have to say these words every time I come back, and my ears are callused."

"What's the use of calloused ears, why don't you show me your love and evil desire?" He stomped his feet arrogantly, but he couldn't stand firmly, so he had to stomp his crutches.

On the other side, the little lotus root powder balls were at the feet of the high school student, bouncing around and forward, as if expecting something to make him walk faster.When the high school student arrived at the door, the previous pain subsided a lot, and he could walk more easily. He no longer needed to support the wall, but the hand that inserted the key still trembled uncontrollably.

The door lock rang in the quiet corridor and the equally quiet room, and the crack of the door popped out, as if the lid of the music box had been opened, but what sounded inside was not music.

"Yun...see you! You also know to go home? Did you check what time? You think I don't know if you guys are out of school already, huh? You don't study hard at school, you go outside to show your prestige? You like this Son, you went to fight with someone, didn’t you? Lost? You are a useless piece of trash. .What is the purpose of living..."

The high school student named Yunjian walked out of the entrance, and saw the man who had put a plate of beans on the table to drink with, already holding himself and crying.The chandelier on the top of the table was not in good contact, and it flickered occasionally, and the white light was hard to hit the faces of the father and son through the gray lampshade.The crying person was already drunk, Yun Jian put away the dusty schoolbag, and cleaned up the cups, saucers and wine bottles in front of the drunk man's hands.The drunk man was still crying in a low voice without any response.

Yun Jian dragged the drunk man to the bed, the two needles on the clock face reconciled and then divided, it was already very late.

Yun Jian went back to her room numbly, spread out on the bed, and melted into the silent night.

The head of the group jumped onto the bedside table, staring at Yun Jian, who was falling asleep soon, with two vertical eyes, and then quickly quieted down, becoming a translucent decoration.

The next day, it was just dawn.

The tree fairy took the leaves and walked towards the bustling urban area.Yun Jian changed his clothes, patted the overnight ashes on his schoolbag, and pushed open the door to rush to school.The Tree Immortal jumped onto the roof of the long-distance truck, and was blown on the roof until his hair and face trembled uncontrollably. The leaves on his shoulders climbed into his arms with difficulty in the wind. Entering the same trembling pity of the tree fairy.

Yun Jian didn't wash himself well last night, even after changing his clothes, he could still see traces of being in the alley yesterday. The aunt who sells breakfast can't help but look at him more, and looks timidly, for fear of offending this 'bastard'.

The truck carrying the tree fairy drove past the gate of the school, Yun Jian was carrying breakfast on the side of the road and waited for the truck to pass before walking onto the sidewalk
