happy event under the tree

These mountains are just behind his small shop, and they are also close to the village, but Gu Xi has never been there, and he did not expect that the concrete roads extending in all directions are quite smooth.

The boundless greenery is tightly surrounded from both sides, leaving a cool shade on the road.Shu'er held an umbrella for him, and Feng'er wiped his sweat for him. The journey was not too far.After wading down a slope and turning a corner, the eyes suddenly opened up.

This is the ridge at the junction of the three mountains, and there is an open flat land in the middle. From a distance, it is a distinctive tender green, with white clouds floating leisurely on it.The surrounding mountains are tall and straight, and even if you look up with difficulty, you can't see the mountain peaks hidden in the clouds.

Gu Xi drove the car closer and found that the flat land was divided into neat paddy fields, and the sunlight pierced through the mist overhead and shone on the land, like a gem left behind in a strange mountain. , left behind and independent.

At the end of the road is a small two-story building with a red exterior wall. The house is built against the mountain, and half of it is hidden in the grand and straight metasequoia forest.As they got closer, Gu Xi realized that the doorway was covered with lush white roses, which were in bloom at this time, blooming like a waterfall.

Standing under the bushes of flowers, Mu Linyuan waved to him, and it was another unique picture.

Gu Xi turned the car to the door of the small building, and accidentally rushed too far forward, so he reversed the electric tricycle again.

In a place as quiet as a paradise, a piercing female voice of "Please pay attention to reversing" sounded in an instant. It was obviously a petite three-wheeled truck that was trying to follow the path of a big blue pickup.This is not over yet, during the process of reversing, the headlights at the rear of the car emit eye-catching red and blue colors, flashing and twinkling.

Gu Xi was dumbfounded.

Mu Linyuan curled his lips and said with a smile: "Young Master Gu is really an interesting person."

Gu Xi laughed a few times, this is the blame for Uncle Chen.He hurriedly asked, "Where is the cargo going to be unloaded?"

After moving a few bags, Mu Linyuan invited Gu Xi into the house to rest.

Gu Xi was so curious that he didn't refuse.

Walking into the house, the first thing you see is a few branches that come in through the window, with dark purple leaves, red leaf edges, and a few white flowers the size of peanuts dotted here and there.The branches stretch freely, as if this is also the world for it to display.

Mu Linyuan looked over with his gaze: "This is the candy tree that Mr. Gu tasted last time." He smiled and said: "It's not easy to bear fruit, so I spoil it."

Gu Xi hurriedly said: "Don't call me Young Master Gu, I'm ashamed, just call me Gu Xi."

"Okay, if Gu Xi doesn't mind, just call me Big Brother Mu."

Gu Xi suppressed the joy in his heart, and obediently called out: "Brother Mu, this tree grows really special."

"Yes." Mu Linyuan didn't continue to extend down, but stretched out his hand to signal him to go up.

Following the spiral staircase at the door, Mu Linyuan took Gu Xi up to the balcony on the second floor.There are still lush plants on the terrace—most of which Gu Xi knows, the branches and leaves are crowded together to form an arched dome, and the sunlight leaking on the body only feels warm.

Mu Linyuan brewed a cup of tea for Gu Xi, and the tea leaves stretched out into small light green flowers in the water, carrying the coolness of mint.

"This is a newly picked camellia this year. It can dispel heat and relieve summer heat." Mu Linyuan also poured himself a large glass of water, and said with a smile, "It's too hot, drink more water."

The rabbit jumped out of nowhere, which frightened Gu Xi.It stretched out its hairy hand and quickly threw a handful of goji berries into Mu Linyuan's water glass, which were bright red.It bulged its cheeks and said angrily: "Why are you so disobedient, you should pay more attention to health preservation!"

"The guests are still here, why are you acting petty again?"

The rabbit yelled when he heard the words: "Obviously you forgot again!"

Mu Linyuan patted the rabbit's head lightly: "Okay, thank you for caring about me in vain, don't mess around in front of Gu Xi, go and play."

Facing Gu Xi's questioning gaze, Mu Linyuan explained: "When you get older, children love to worry. I slept for a long time, and when I wake up, this child doesn't know where he learned this way of keeping in good health." It is said that soaking wolfberries in water every day cannot be left behind.”

Gu Xi looked at his gentle face, and unconsciously fell into a trance as soft as cotton wool. He said in a daze, "Brother Mu looks very young..."

Mu Linyuan's gaze shifted to the distant field, where swarms of dragonflies were circling over the rice against the wind, his voice was soft and far away: "I have lived for a long, long time, so long that many memories are almost lost I'm confused." Then, he turned around and looked directly at Gu Xi: "You probably know that I'm also a monster."

There are faint golden threads in a pair of eyes, shining brightly.

Gu Xi nodded slowly.A little lost in my heart.He didn't know why, he should have expected it a long time ago, right?

Mu Linyuan continued: "Monsters are the same as human beings, they also live their lives. The only benefit of hard training is probably a few more years of life. I am very grateful that you can accept this fact so calmly, the world There are too many prejudices against us, and it is great luck to be able to live in a corner safely. You are a good person, and I want to take this opportunity to show that we have no malicious intentions by inviting you here."

He took a sip of water and said to Gu Xi: "The monsters have different paths, such an accident should never happen again in the future. I hope you can help keep the secret, Gu Xi."

Gu Xi rode on Uncle Chen's tricycle and scratched her chest.

When he saw the candy tree just now, he had this kind of premonition: All the invitations have been honored, so is there any chance of meeting again next time?

Perhaps, a person like myself, who has caught a lot of people in the crowd, originally expected to be friends with such a refreshing person, but in the end, there is still a gap between the two.

How could he not understand the meaning of Mu Linyuan's words... A good monster who opened the door to humans, humans with self-knowledge should no longer disturb their lives...

At night, when Gu Xi was lying in his small room, Gu Zheng called.

"I heard from Xu Xunliang that you seem to have encountered a monster. Why didn't you tell me this? What if it's dangerous?"

Gu Xi thought to himself: There's nothing to do, I've even been to the monster's house.

Gu Zheng on the other end of the phone seemed to take a deep breath, and continued: "I know you are afraid that I won't believe you if you say it, but I am also someone who has experienced it."

Gu Zheng seems to have finally seized the opportunity to tell Gu Xi all about his childhood lost in the night and being brought back by a talking bird.

"You and Brother Xu may have misremembered, how could animals talk..." Gu Xi asked tentatively again: "Then if, I mean, if there really are monsters, can we continue to contact monsters?"

Gu Zhengdao: "Of course there are good monsters, but what about monsters with evil intentions? Let the ones you encounter be stories, and don't force others."

Maybe, there is really no chance...

The author has something to say:

Don't be sad, little Gu Xi, you will have plenty of time to show your affection in the future!
