The black hair of the wood god is mixed with a little bit of new green, the dark brown eyes are shining, the body that is too skinny and too tall is curled up between the branches of the plane tree, and the hands that have spread vitality to the earth all the year round are holding a large pair of scissors at this moment to repair the nails of the "little phoenix" Ping.

"Where's my wings?" Ping asked.

Hearing this, Mu Shen made a slight move, he touched a bright red feather from his belt and handed it to the little phoenix.

The stalk of this feather is white, but the end is stained with blood, which has turned into a black and red blood clot.

The feather branches gradually change from orange to bright red, and against the background of the surrounding green leaves, it looks like a withered beauty.

The little phoenix's eyes straightened.

The little phoenix let out a small "woo", slowly retracted the foot in the hand of the wood god, and then began to cry.

She cried and stroked her feathers pitifully, and then cried even harder.

For a long time, the wood god who witnessed the whole process was stunned.

He'd never seen anyone cry so funny.

Little Phoenix managed to cry and swell her face, and her eyes were almost gone.

The wood god stretched out his hand, originally intended to wipe the tears of the little phoenix, but touched her soft face.

Round, white and pink little face.

The wood god squeezed it expressionlessly.

It seems that you can pinch out a puddle of water.

The little phoenix opened the hand of the wood god and was speechless.

The wood god plucked a leaf, wiped his fingers full of tears, and then turned to leave with the big scissors.

Ping continued to cry.

She couldn't fly anymore.

Suddenly, Ping remembered something, fumbled for her clothes, and searched for a long time before her fingers trembled and turned out a feather that was originally goose yellow.

The goose-yellow feathers have been stained reddish-brown with blood.

Sycamore trees grow in paradise.

The lake surrounds the small islands, the plane trees occupy most of the ground, the roots are soaked in the lake, and the clouds pass by the leaves and condense into dew.

There are also a few smaller islands that follow the plane tree as the central island, and most of them are decorated with tables and chairs, chessboards, folded clothes, or a few books with very different contents, and exquisite tea sets...... Except for the lack of a house.

Because the wound on the back is medicated to make the body numb and weak, some small movements will affect the wound on the back, after all, the wings are connected to the spine, even if Ping's wings are broken from close to the back, you can't be careless.

So the little phoenix spends most of her time honestly in the trees, stretching her neck to look out at the scenery beyond the dense foliage.

"I'm Ping, who are you?" The little phoenix asked softly,

The wood god sat on the branch and didn't care about the situation of the little phoenix: "I am the plane tree. That's true.

After a short silence, Little Phoenix asked, "You said this is a paradise, but what about the legendary residents?" ”

Mu Shen thought for a moment and said, "Originally, there were five people living here. ”

The god of gold, the god of wood, the god of water, the god of fire, the god of earth. Plus an ugly bird called Phoenix.

The phoenix has been with the god of fire since its birth.

When the god of fire gave himself to the world as light, the ordinary and ugly phoenix let out a hoarse chirp, and the flames representing despair and new life were dazzling at the moment when the phoenix spread its wings, and the huge canopy of the plane tree was rendered by the unjustified disaster...... Wood God wanted to kill it at the time.

"And now?"

"There's only one person." The wood god did not have the slightest sadness.

Other gods live in a different way.

The little phoenix bowed its head with two feathers in its hands.

"Why am I here?"

"You fell from the sky."

Ping was stunned.

The dragons threw their Phoenix corpses out of the floating hills?

That's right, the dragon clan wants to occupy the sky, how can they bury the phoenix clan in their hometown?

Her eyes moistened.

My dear royalty......

Wood God looked into the distance expressionlessly, and he suddenly noticed that the air had become damp, but he never turned his head until the air was dry again.

"Where's the way out, plane tree?"

Little Phoenix's tone was full of anticipation, and Ping looked at his side face and saw that he neither blinked nor breathed.

The wooden god's fingertips moved slightly.

The phoenix is considered a part of the god of fire, so the wood god doesn't really care about the phoenix's life or death.

But the current phoenix Ping obviously doesn't remember that she is a clown bird at all. It's too cumbersome to explain and it's not necessary.

The solution to things is often simple to calm.

"There is no road, only in and out."

Hearing this, Ping didn't speak for a long time.

*

When there is only one person left in your world, will you choose to fall in love with her/him who is strange?

Gogami may not, but Ping will fall in love with him.

"Fly hard and bravely, and there is darkness at the end of the sky." The little phoenix recalled what the elder of the Phoenix clan had said, and told the wood god, "That's what the elder said. But I think that at the end of the sky, the sun is warm. ”

Mu Shen stared quietly at Ping lying on his lap, his eyes very empty.

At the end of the sky there was no sun, only the stump of the god of fire.

Seeing that Mu Shen didn't react, Ping wanted to sit up, but Mu Shen reached out and pressed her back, and so on, the little phoenix was tired.

"Sycamore, your legs are particularly hard!"

Mu Shen disagreed, and put his palm on the eyes of the little phoenix: "Ping, sleep." ”

Through the gap between her fingers, Ping could vaguely see the movements of the wood god.

"Why don't you let me climb a tree?" Ping grabbed the hand that was placed on her eye, "Maybe I can get out of the top of the tree, I fell from the sky, then I can leave from the sky." Wutong, I want to know, there is still anyone alive in the Phoenix Clan, although I can't fly......"

After the little phoenix finished speaking, the wood god leaned his back against the trunk of the tree and closed his eyes: "I don't want to go out." ”

Outside, there are only the beasts who are struggling to survive and the human races who are gradually expanding their territory, and the floating hills in the sky and the palaces at the bottom of the sea are only corpses.

Even if it was just a brief fragment of thousands of years, the wood god didn't want to look at it.

"But, but I want to." Pin stammered.

Where else is there a phoenix clan in this world?

After thinking for a moment, the wood god had no other way: "Sleep." ”

“…… Not sleepy. ”

The wood god removed the hand covering Ping's eyes, looked at each other, and closed it again.

"Ping, it's your delusion not to be sleepy, you're sleepy." The voice is rarely soft.

Ping's heart moved slightly, and she grinned: "You smile at me, smile at me, and I'll sleep." ”

After hesitating, the wood god said, "I smiled. ”

"I can't see ......" to be precise, I can't see clearly.

"But you didn't say you had to see it. Go to sleep. "The wood god is cheating.

"No, no, no, I must see you laugh, or I won't sleep today...... I won't sleep tomorrow! ”

The wood god moved his hand.

A faint, almost non-curvature rose at the corners of his mouth, and it looked just a little more pleasing to the eye than usual.

Looking at it, Ping also smiled, and her neat white teeth were exposed: "Wutong, you smile so well." ”

In the eyes of the little phoenix, Mu Shen saw a person staring at him expressionlessly, and he was a little distracted.

"Ping."

"What's wrong?" Ping rolls around on the legs of the wood god.

"What kind of person do you think looks good?" He asked.

Wood gods can change their appearance.

Roll and roll, Ping rolled to his calf, gently poked the toe of the wood god a few times with his fingers, and said happily:

"People like you."

The wood god opened his mouth, but after all, he didn't say anything.

It was as if he had met this lovely bird for the first time, a bird that had lost its wings and could not fly...... It was also the first time that I began to question whether my initial "only in but not out" was right...... But if she sees the outside world, will she come back?

*

After the body recovered more neatly, the little phoenix would often try to climb to the top of the tree.

The wood god occasionally kindly reminded her to take a break, spending most of her time researching how to raise the height of the sycamore trees and better seal off the paradise.

Although it would be a good idea to make the sycamore tree shorter and give up when Ping climbed to the top, the wood god felt that she had to have a thought.

It's just a thought.

"Sycamore, I want to eat that...... On the branches, such big eggs, is it okay? ”

On this day, Ping found a phoenix egg hidden high by the wood god.

Mu Shen, who accompanied Ping to climb the tree and was worried that she would fall to her death all the way, politely refused: "You are a bird, how can you eat bird eggs?" ”

When the phoenix is reborn from the fire, it is divided into two, one is the little phoenix Ping, and the other is the phoenix egg.

The little phoenix, who still doesn't remember, was sent to the Phoenix clan by the wood god, and the phoenix stayed in Taoyuan, hatching half-dead.

The little phoenix looked at the phoenix egg, and couldn't do it: "The phoenix clan doesn't hatch from the egg. And I don't have a mother...... In short, we usually eat birds' eggs. ”

"Nope." Wood God was resolute.

"Hmph," Ping couldn't figure it out again, she stretched out her arms towards the wood god at the bottom of the position, ready to jump over, "Wutong ......"

The little phoenix stood on tiptoe, and its round eyes were full of sweet fantasies, as if it was still a bird that could fly.

You're going to catch me.

"Wait, don't move!" This was the first time that the wood god had spoken loudly.

It's late.

Ping jumped down and slammed straight into the wood god's body.

The body of the wood god is similar to that of wood.

Pinkie, who was jumping with her eyes closed, felt like she had hit a rugged tree trunk at that moment, and she was about to die.

Inertia, the two hugged and fell backwards, the little phoenix screamed, hugged the wood god tightly with both legs and hands, and then found himself stopped in mid-air.

Quietly opening one eye, she saw the Adam's apple and smooth chin of the wood god, and heard a sigh from the man below.

Thankfully, he was able to merge with the sycamore tree, so that the soles of his feet stuck to the branches.

After this incident, the little phoenix often pestered the wood god, making him hang on the branches, like a bat, and then circle around the branches......

"Ping, it's the last lap."

"Uh-huh!"

After turning around, Ping mua kissed Mu Shen: "One more lap, it is guaranteed to be the last lap!" ”

…… All right.

"The last lap! This time it's true! ”

…… Cough.

"I, I, I, I promise! It's the last lap! Turn! ”

……

“mua！”

……
