Chapter 71 God Tree
The old lady's house is on the other side of the mountain.

Along the way are intricate paths. The mature late rice is like a golden carpet, and there are also patches of corn fields.

It can be considered to be close to mountains and rivers, but because there are too many hills and slopes, and there are no repaired roads, harvesters cannot drive in at all, and they are still harvesting by hand until now.

Ye Wenjun was very curious about this land:
"Grandma, did Gu Yuan grow up here?"

"Ang, he was quite naughty when he was little. All the dogs in the village would avoid him when they saw him, otherwise they would definitely get kicked by him."

The old lady laughed.

She said, reaching out and pointing forward, "My home is over there in the bamboo forest!"

Ye Wenjun stood on tiptoes and looked forward.

It was a two-story farmhouse located next to a pond, backed by a bamboo forest and facing farmland.The green tile roof is covered with moss.A fruit tree was exposed at the corner of the house, and its black branches were covered with green and red persimmons.

The breeze blows.

The bamboo forest rustles and the wicker branches dance along with it.

Ye Wenjun suddenly turned his head and glanced at Gu Yuan.

Gu Yuan was a little confused.

The other person's eyes reflected his own figure. In addition to seeing water-like tenderness, there was also a look in his eyes that he had never seen before.

The old lady stepped forward and introduced her surroundings:

"Have you seen this field? We were planting rice seedlings, and no one took him to play, so he just rolled around in this field!"

"Have you seen this cow dung tank? It was freezing in the middle of winter, and he jumped on it and fell straight down. I fished him back out!"

"There was also this jujube tree. He peed under the tree and was stung by a wasp. He howled in pain."

"puff!"

Ye Wenjun couldn't hold it in anymore and covered his mouth and laughed.

"Do you want to know where the sting is?" the old lady asked in a low voice.

Gu Yuan's face turned dark.

At this moment, he suddenly had the idea of ​​​​destroying the world.

"It must have hurt, right?"

Ye Wenjun looked back, his eyes filled with distress.

"It only hurt for a while. I stepped on the wasp with my foot, but it stung my heel. The skin was thick!" Gu Yuan explained, and added, "It was really the heel!"

When they got to the yard, the old lady was busy boiling water and making tea, and then grabbed melon seeds, peanuts, and candies.

Gu Yuan dug out a snakeskin bag of popcorn from under the bed and stuffed it into his mouth.This is popcorn fried in an old-fashioned stove, original flavor.Although he has eaten many flavors of popcorn in later generations, he always felt that something was missing.

pity.

Later, these craftsmen walking around the streets suddenly disappeared.

Just like myself running under the sunset, the youth that can never come back.

Gu Yuan was reminiscing about his childhood. The old lady saw it. When Gu Yuan was stunned, she snatched the bag away, muttered "Ignorance", and then pushed it to Ye Wenjun with a smile:
"Daughter, you should eat some too!"

Ye Wenjun grabbed a handful, and then gave half of it to Gu Yuan.

Seeing this scene, the old lady smiled and narrowed her eyes.

An old man and a young man were sitting in the foyer, chatting with each other. Most of the time it was the old lady who was talking, and they were talking about trivial things.Gu Yuan was so sleepy that he yawned at the side, but Ye Wenjun listened attentively, his eyes shining brightly.

but.

What surprised Gu Yuan was that the old lady only asked Ye Wenjun's name, but not about his parents or family background.

While the two were chatting, a tabby cat walked over, circled around Gu Yuan's heels, and finally settled at Ye Wenjun's feet.Gu Yuan took a look and felt as if he had become an outsider, so he simply moved two benches and lay in the yard to bask in the sun.

The autumn sun was so warm that it made Gu Yuan feel sleepy.

Just when he was about to fall asleep, he was woken up by Ye Wenjun:

"what happened?"

"Grandma wants to go out to worship the sacred tree, so she wants us to come together, to fulfill her wish, and then to have a drink."

"I don't want to go." Gu Yuan turned over. After a few years, only a stump of the broken tree was left. Even so, it still couldn't stop the enthusiasm of the pilgrims.So within a few months, the police station sent people to dig up all the roots of the tree.

Say.

He still needs to worship the tree now?

Worshiping him is not better than worshiping the sacred tree?
"Where's the feather duster?"

The old lady turned around and walked around the room.

Ye Wenjun was a little anxious and quickly poked with his finger.

Sighing, Gu Yuan could only get up.The old lady had never hit him since she was a child, so she was very good at scaring him. If nothing happened, she would find a feather duster.How old are you, yet you still use this trick to scare him? "Stop looking, let's go, let's go!"

A group of three people walked along the edge of the pond towards the sacred tree.

along the way.

The old lady didn't forget to show off her 'family property':
"This vegetable garden belongs to my family, as well as the corn field and taro field, they all belong to my family... My daughter, do you want to eat some while I dig some taros for you?"

"Grandma, no need!"

The old lady didn't listen at all and wanted to dig into the taro field. Ye Wenjun could only turn to Gu Yuan for help.

"Grandma, aren't you going to worship the tree?"

Gu Yuan was also convinced.

"Go! Go! Go!"

The old lady finally came to her senses.

Going around the winding path, there is a huge tree growing on the top of a mountain, and the tree body is also coated with a layer of lime.The huge tree crown is seven or eight meters in diameter, and every branch is covered with red wishing ribbons.

Under the tree, there is an incense pond made of red bricks, filled with the ashes of burned incense.

There is still a handful of incense in the pool, the tail of which is left burning, and the green smoke is still rising.

The old lady took out three sticks of incense from the plastic bag she carried with her, lit it, and stuffed a handful to Gu Yuan, "I still wish to go..."

"How to pay it back?" Gu Yuan didn't know.

"Just say thank you to the sacred tree for letting you get into No. [-] Middle School, and then make a wish to let you get into university!"

Gu Yuan looked at the old lady in surprise.

You are harvesting the wool of the sacred tree. While you are fulfilling your wish, you can make another wish at the same time. This is not a loss!

but.

Gu Yuan didn't believe this thing. He had just scanned it with his spiritual mind. It was just an ordinary old tree, at most it was a little older.He pretended to bow, put the incense into the pond, and kicked the old tree:

"If I fail to get into college, I will root you out!"

"Grandson!"

The old lady was so angry that she wanted to hit someone, so she quickly worshiped it herself, "Don't blame the sacred tree, please keep my grandson safe."

Then he glanced at Ye Wenjun secretly, "Hurry up and give me a great-grandson!"

After bowing, he gave Ye Wenjun a bunch of incense and said, "Daughter, do you also bow?"

Ye Wenjun suddenly felt at a loss:
"Grandma, I can't do it either."

"You can pray for whatever you wish for, just to ask for good fortune and good luck!"

Ye Wenjun thought about it seriously, came to the fragrant pool seriously, and moved his lips.

Call ~
A breeze came.

The wind suddenly picked up and ruffled a pool of autumn water.

Under the tree with its canopy like clouds, countless wishing ribbons were fluttering.It also blew Ye Wenjun's hair, revealing her gentle face.

Gu Yuan raised his head suddenly because he heard the words in the wind clearly:
"I hope that Gu Yuan can always be safe and live happily for the rest of his life!"
