The affirmation of the green light and shadow did not surprise Bai Xue. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

The sentence she just said was not a question sentence, but an affirmative sentence. When he saw the sapling that was about to die, he seemed to know that it was the body of the dryad beside him.

Bai Xue walked to the top of the hill and looked at the girl standing in front of the little sapling up close. Looking at it from a distance, one black and one white, one big and one less, one indifferent and one warm, made the dryad look in a trance.

This hill is indeed the highest point in the whole village, and the sunset can be seen from afar. The afterglow hit the girl's eyes, and the girl's expression was solemn and sad. But the seriousness in it is impossible to ignore.

I think the girl also knows that this legend is just a legend. By doing so, she was only deceiving herself.

A person, only when his heart is full of infinite hope, will he live in a fairy tale that he knows is impossible.

Bai Xue stood at the top of the mountain, bathed in the afterglow of the setting sun, looking at the girl's eyes and thinking.

Spring went to autumn, Bai Xue stood on this hill and never moved her body again, she watched the girl come to take care of the saplings day after day, with all her heart and try.

Trees always grow faster than humans, and in just three years, they have grown into a tall tree. It has been able to provide shade and shelter for people.

Far away, the tree grew on the highest hill in the village, becoming the tallest tree in the village. The maiden named it Ali.

Ari, the dawn of the rising.

Everyone knows that this tree embodies the girl's ardent expectations. Every person in the village watched every act and action of the girl over the past three years. These people include Bai Xue.

The girl knew that she did not belong in this village, and that the only relative in this village had left three years ago. Without any relatives, he planted the tree with his own hands. Yes, although the people in the village were kind and friendly to her and her mother, everyone understood that they did not belong here. In the midst of those friendships, there has always been a hint of alienation.

In the three years since her mother's departure, the girl, whether it is big or small, will come to this tree and tell the story. It seems to be for the mother in heaven, and it seems to be for this little tree planted by himself. It seems that the little tree listens to her better than humans.

The tree was planted and named because of the legend or just as a sustenance? Except for the girl, even Shirayuki didn't know.

Three years have passed, and the girl has grown into a woman. She stood under the tree, like twin sisters with the snow standing on the edge of the tree. The same look, but a different temperament.

The woman looked up at the big tree that had been with her for three years, her eyes were soft, and she said, "Ah Li, I'm leaving this place."

She rubbed the tree gently, though the rough bark of the tree made her green hands a little red.

Her eyes seemed reluctant, but more resolute. Come to think of it, the woman also knows that she doesn't belong here.

Then, Bai Xue saw her and said again: "Ah Li, I will come back." Good bye...

With a sigh, the woman left the village.

The wind was blowing, and the branches and leaves of the tree were swaying gently. It seems that he is also saying goodbye to the woman.

Bai Xue and this dryad, that is, Ah Li, stepped side by side in the setting sun, and with the woman's steps, their feet left the place where the woman had been living.

Then, Bai Xue followed the woman's footsteps through her life.

It is not easy for the woman to go out, her overly good appearance has caused her a lot of trouble, she is weak, and naïve, and has no ability to protect herself. She is destined to go through some hardships like this.

This is a time of chaos, and the time and space seem to be the same as the ancient times that Bai Xue is familiar with. The woman walked and stopped on this continent with difficulty, from ignorance and naivety to gradual calm and maturity. But no matter what life is like, the woman still maintains the original beauty and kindness.

Even if it's a dark time.

Every other year, no matter how far the road is, the woman will return to the village and stand under the big tree to tell the story of her year. It seems that even in a far away place, there is such a place that is worth her concern.

The tree, known as Alley, listens to the woman's thoughts year after year. And it grows into a towering tree over the years.

It's been another year, and the soldiers and horses from outside have poured into this seemingly isolated village. The village was covered in blood.

The trees stood above the village, looking at this mortal slaughter. Let the blood nourish the land.

The woman once again routinely returned to this land once a year, looking at this vanished existence, looking at the blood stains that could still be seen on the ground even if it dried up, and her eyes were full of desolation.

This year, the woman is no longer young, she is nearly thirty years old. She leaned under the tree, no longer telling her story as she had done in previous years. She closed her eyes, like a tired wanderer returning home.

For another year, the woman did not come back. Trees stand lonely on the hills.

So after a few years, the woman came back again. It's just that the woman is holding a little girl at this time.

The little girl looks very similar to Qingsha. Qingsha pulled the little girl to the bottom of the tree and quietly told the story of her youth to this ignorant little girl.

Time has passed like this again for several years. The yarn is not as good as it used to be every year. This year, when she came over again, she was seriously injured.

Qingsha was a woman at this time, and her identity had changed long ago. At this time, even if he was embarrassed, his clothes were still not down, and he was still graceful and luxurious.

She stumbled all the way to the village, looked at the giant tree, her eyes were confused for a moment, and then she seemed to have figured out something, laughing and crying.

She swayed to the bottom of the tree and fell against the trunk. He stopped caring about the blood that kept bleeding from his body, and said, "Alley, I'm back again, and this time, I'll never leave again...

Then, outside the village, a group of soldiers came, and they came to Qingsha's front and looked at the woman in awe. A sword stabbed her in the heart. Say, "Rest in peace, Queen."

Kiyosa had a smile on her face from beginning to end. She looked at the top of the tree, at the tree she had planted with her own hands.

Times have changed, but eventually they have come back here.

It turns out that from beginning to end, it will not change, it will not leave itself, and it will not betray itself, only this tree that has accompanied him since childhood.

Yes, in this life, a woman later became the queen of a country, born in poverty, but admired by thousands of people. But after all, he was betrayed by his lover, that is, the emperor, and became the target of his interception.

The wind suddenly became faster, and the branches were gently swaying, making a rustling sound, like sadness, like sighing... (To be continued.) )
