Chapter 17: Pure Eyes
Liu Changfa then told about his sad past:
My family lives on the outskirts of the city, and the year before last, the city was carrying out urban renovation, and the village was about to be demolished.
After my family's three-story building was requisitioned and demolished, more than 3.5 million yuan was paid at one time.
This is simply a flying disaster, my father is usually a very honest person, because the heart of getting rich overnight has also swelled, and he was dragged to a mahjong parlor to gamble, and he lost less than three million yuan a year.
In order to make money, my father borrowed another 1 million yuan from a loan shark and lost a net loss.
The supermarket has also used all the things to offset the account, and the loan has still not been paid off.
That's how my dad ran away, and my mom couldn't think about it, so she went insane and was admitted to a mental hospital.
My sister had to live with my grandmother.
Because I have a little musical talent, "Dream Middle School" made an exception to admit me free of tuition.
I am not afraid of poverty, I can support myself, and what I hate most is to be rich.
My home was ruined by a windfall.
……
After a long time, Liu Changfa finally regained his composure, and he was embarrassed.
"However, I am much better now, my mother's condition has improved, and my father often sends some money back, and he is now very guilty, saying that he will be back in another six months."
Liu Changfa's face actually appeared a rare smile and pure gaze, in Zhang Jingwen's opinion, that smiling gaze is really beautiful, without any utilitarian distractions, it is a natural gaze from nature.
Through that gaze, Zhang Jingwen seemed to see the shadow of the tree of life in her dream.
Zhang Jingwen also said happily: "Liu Changfa, let's go find the Tree of Life together, shall we?" ”
Liu Changfa asked in surprise, "What is the Tree of Life?" ”
Zhang Jingwen had an idea, so she simply made up a story to deceive him, and said slowly: "I heard that in the deep mountains and old forests, there is a tree of life, the root of the tree is 30 meters long, up to 180 meters, straight into the sky, the trunk is straight, and the upward is obviously thinner, the branches and leaves are densely grown at the top, and the leaves are also very peculiar. ”
Looking at Liu Changfa's surprised appearance, Zhang Jingwen continued to weave: "There is a fruit on this tree, called the Life Fruit, which is very large, like ...... The size of a watermelon. ”
"What's even more peculiar is that as long as people walk next to this tree, their hearts will be greatly nourished, and all diseases will disappear in an instant."
Liu Changfa's eyes showed a strange brilliance again, and he said happily: "It's really good, in this way, my mother's illness can be completely cured, and the most beautiful laughter can be heard again." Moreover, I also know that this tree can emit the same vibrating notes as the heart, and that is the most vibrating sound, and that sound is the future of mankind. ”
Zhang Jingwen was surprised, did he believe it all? How does it feel like the real thing?
I thought I was deceiving others, but I was deceived by others.
Zhang Jingwen continued to edit: "There is something more peculiar, when you look at this tree from a distance, you will find that the tree seems to have an eye, and it can emit a strange gaze, just like ...... It's like a twinkling star in the sky. ”
Liu Changfa said: "Jingwen, I will accompany you to find this tree of life." ”
Looking at Liu Changfa's firm gaze, Zhang Jingwen had no choice but to believe it.
She also chimed in: "This tree must exist, we have to find it." ”
I thought to myself: This tree must only be in a dream.
"Dream Middle School" issued a notice of the new year's dream work competition, requiring all students in the school to complete a dream work in a group of four, free combination, which can be a novel, prose, poetry, pictures, etc., and the first, second and third prizes, the first prize is up to 10,000 yuan, and has copyright.
For the award-winning students, there will be extra points in the final exam, and after graduation, they will be given priority to be recommended to study directly in the country's highest university "Dream University".
Zhang Jingwen called the three King Kongs, these three King Kongs, namely Li Mengran, Liu Changfa and Zhu Dachang, asked to form a team to participate.
Seeing that Zhang Jingwen was so enthusiastic, everyone was not easy to refuse, and agreed that women should be given priority, so they recommended Zhang Jingwen as the team leader to complete this dream work competition together.
Zhang Jingwen said: "I am not as good as you in terms of ability, but in terms of dreams, I can fight with you." Now let's discuss, what are we going to do?"
Zhu Dachang hurriedly said: "This is easy to do, my dream is to fry a good dish that everyone loves to eat." ”
"After eating, you will become a big fat man like you?" Li Mengran interjected:
"I think, let Liu Changfa create a fantasy song, how elegant is this."
Zhu Dachang said unconvinced: "Fantasia? Listening to it has become a nervous disorder! ”
Hearing the word neurosis, Zhang Jingwen glanced at Liu Changfa and then at Zhu Dachang. She said:
"I think, let's paint a picture, written by Li Mengran, let's all use our imagination to see what scenery is better drawn."
Zhu Dachang: "I think it's better to draw a fortune tree, everyone's dream is to get rich." ”
Liu Changfa smiled: "I know that there is another kind of tree that is better than the Fortune Tree." ”
Zhu Dachang: "Stop blowing, let's hear it." ”
Liu Changfa: "There is a tree in Xinjiang, called dry willow, the tree is 20 meters high, the crown covers an area of 1.2 acres, the tree has 7 side branches, twists and turns, crawling on the ground, like a dragon and snake, it is breathtaking. ”
Zhu Dachang: "What are the benefits of this tree?" Can you make a fortune? ”
Liu Changfa: "Don't worry, listen to me, in the 2nd year of the founding of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, Zhang Qian was ordered to envoy to the Western Regions, in the 13th year of the Gregorian calendar, on the way back, Zhang Qian planted this tree with his own hands when he rested here, as a landmark.
After Zhang Qian went back, he was promoted to knighthood, so this tree is known as the promotion tree. ”
Zhu Dachang was surprised: "Huh? Is there really such a tree? If you can be promoted, it is really better than getting rich. ”
Li Mengran smiled: "It's not good for you to say this. ”
Zhu Dachang said disdainfully: "Can you name a better tree?" ”
"Of course," Li Mengran subconsciously touched his beard that he had never had, and said:
"The Book of Mountains and Seas, which records that there is an immortal tree, after Qin Shi Huang read this book, he sent a large number of people to the sea to find this tree, and even crossed east to the present Japan, and the current Japanese are the Qin people at that time."
Zhu Dachang: "Did you find it?" ”
Li Mengran: "Qin Shi Huang is also dead, what do you say?" ”
Liu Changfa suddenly seemed to remember something, patted his head, and said with a smile: "Haha, I know this tree." ”
He continued: "This tree, which is 30 meters long and 180 meters high around the roots, reaches into the sky, the trunk is straight, and the upward is noticeably tapered, and the branches and leaves are densely grown at the top, and the leaves are also very peculiar, the general leaves are facing the sky on all sides, and its leaves are facing the sky on the side, as if hanging on the branches. ”
"There was a fruit on this tree, very large, like ...... Resemble...... Like a big winter melon. ”
A few people burst out laughing!
Zhang Jingwen suddenly felt: This tree of wealth, promotion, and longevity should be the common dream of all mankind, and this laughter is also a great irony for people.
Is it that simple to be human?
