Qingning No. 1 Middle School.

Gu Yinian sat on the wooden wheel, looked up at the lush canopy of the plane tree, there were several nests, and there was a sound of chirping.

Some of the parents who were waiting also heard it, and the anxiety on their faces gradually faded into smiles.

"A very spiritual bird, a very spiritual tree." Gu Gu sighed on the side, "If it is still the world where heaven and earth are full of spiritual energy before, this plane tree will definitely attract the phoenix to stop." ”

"Phoenix? Phoenix-perched sycamore? Why not now? Gu Yinian asked curiously.

"There is no phoenix now." Gu Gu shook his head and said no more.

"Niannian, your brother is out." Grandma Gu suddenly patted Gu Yinian, pointed to the crowd and said.

The bell for the end of class had been ringing for a while, and there were more and more people leaving the school gate, Gu Yinian looked at it for a while before he saw the familiar shadow from the crowd.

Tomorrow is the National Day, and it is rare for elementary school and junior high school to have a holiday on the same day.

"Brother!" Gu Yinian relied on her small size, slipped into the crowd, and grabbed her brother's sleeve.

Gu Yinuo looked down and saw her, rubbed her head, and took his hand.

"Is this your sister? Looks so cute. The person who was traveling with Gu Yinuo said.

Gu Yinuo nodded, his sister was praised, and he was also happy.

"Thank you, little brother, for complimenting me on my cuteness." Gu Yinian smiled at him, took Gu Yinuo's hand and said, "Brother, I'll pick you up with my grandmother, and we're going back to the village today." ”

"Hmm." Gu Yinuo rubbed his sister's head and asked her, "Why didn't you go back with Xiao Chen and them?" ”

"I'm going back with my brother."

As soon as Xiao Chen and the others got out of school, they took a bus back to the village.

Grandma Gu had to wait for more than half an hour for Gu Yinuo to also have a holiday before going back together.

Soon the three of them also took the bus to the bus station, and then took it from the bus station to Luzhen.

Gujia Village.

The town is far away from the city, so since the start of school, Gu Yinian has returned to the village for the first time.

Grandpa Gu's tricycle swayed into the village from the east end of the village, and happened to pass by Yuezi.

Gujia Village Yuezi is a large group of tombs, in addition to burying the dead in the village, in the east of the Gu ancestral hall, there is also a martyr's monument.

Next to the Martyrs' Monument, there are more than a dozen anonymous people buried.

In fact, there are more than a dozen people who died in the battle on the land of Gujia Village?

After looking at the martyr's monument with reverence, Gu Yinian's gaze stopped in the courtyard in the center of Yuezi, although the courtyard was small, it was a school from a long time ago, Gu Yinian had the honor to go once, except for the old man with a strange temper, there was no one else in the whole courtyard, it was all ghosts.

"That tree ......" Gu Yinian looked at one place and suddenly frowned.

"What's wrong?" Gu Yinuo pulled his sister back, who wanted to lean out of the car, and asked.

"Why did that tree wither?" Gu Yinian pointed to the thickest tree in Yuezi.

It is a mulberry tree, which is said to be more than 200 years old, almost the same age as this village. Because of the old age, the mulberries are gone, year after year, just repeating the process of growing green leaves full of branches in spring and withering leaves in autumn and winter.

"No, it's still like that." Gu Yinuo didn't see anything.

"That tree, it's a little withered than it was before I left." Gu Yinian frowned, and suddenly asked Gu Gu in ghost language, "What do you think?" ”

"I think so, too." Gu Gu stared at Yuezi, his brows furrowed tightly.
