Chapter 12, Trouble 2
Standing under the ancient tree, Jin looked a little puzzled, I don't know what Xia Lingling brought him to the tree for, did he enjoy the shade?
I saw Xia Lingling smile, stretched out his hand and pulled out a finger-thick rope hidden behind the tree, and pulled it hard, only to see a soft ladder made of iron rods and climbing ropes slide out of the canopy and hang right in front of them.
"Wow, what is this?"
Xia Lingling didn't answer, but grabbed the soft ladder and pulled it hard, and after making sure it was firm, he whispered, "Go up." "Get up the escalator first.
When she had disappeared into the canopy and the escalator was no longer shaking, he cautiously climbed up. The foliage of the old tree is very dense, so it is still a little difficult to climb, and after climbing a few large canopies, I found the location of the tree house.
"Wow, this is a treehouse?"
When Jin entered the treehouse, he found that Xia Zero-Zero had already sat down in the open space on the other side, and he followed to sit down, and found that the view was so wide.
"You can't find this treehouse from below, how did you do that?"
"This treehouse took me three whole months."
Xia Lingling said softly: "At the beginning, it was difficult to stand on this, I struggled to pick up the branches and climb up, and I almost fell down several times. ”
"In order to come up, I studied for half a month just by climbing trees. The first few times I came up, I was so frightened that I didn't dare to move on the trunk of the tree, and my legs trembled vigorously......"
Thinking of his original efforts, Xia Lingling still felt very hard, as if he was right in front of him at that time, and he felt tired just looking at it.
"It's really not easy for you to do these things well as a girl."
Jin looked at her slightly tired expression, and a trace of admiration rose in his heart.
Xia Lingling just smiled:
"It's not easy, you know? It really me off at one point. ”
"I was actually angry with my own clumsiness, and when I struggled to climb up the canopy and try to pull the rope, I found that the rope had forgotten to tie the knot, and the tools fell halfway through. I went down and tied it again, and when I climbed up the canopy again, I reached out and touched the rope around my waist, and it was empty, and I forgot to pin the rope to my belt. When I climbed up the third time, I was already very irritable, and as a result, I chopped and chopped the branches, and the head of the axe actually fell off and fell to the ground with a clatter. At that time, I couldn't hold back my anger. ”
Saying that, she couldn't help laughing, sometimes she was really stupid enough, so stupid that she couldn't stand it.
"I sawed the whole tree directly with a chainsaw, and the moment the tree fell, I felt that all the grievances and suppressed anger in my heart for so many days were vented, and I trotted all the way back to the office building and fell asleep for a whole day. And when I came back the next day, guess what I saw? ”
She said and looked at Jin, who sat on his legs, his elbows resting on his knees, and his hands on his cheeks, like a child listening to a story, his expression was always serious, and he did not slack off in the slightest.
Just staring at Xia Lingling, he knew that she must have a lot to say, he didn't interrupt, just waited quietly for her to continue.
Xia Lingling smiled and continued:
"The next day I brought gasoline and was going to burn the sawn tree, because it was much easier to sweep up the ashes than to haul the whole tree. However, when I came, I found that the old tree had reappeared next to the tree I had sawed down, where it had been. ”
Xia Ling paused, took out a pack of biscuits from a wooden box next to him, and handed a bottle of drink to Jin:
"You didn't have breakfast, so make a cushion first."
Jin took it, thanked him, tore open the bag with his teeth, and ate it.
Xia Lingling looked at him gobbling up, and suddenly felt like laughing, this man eats completely like a child, so cute, so well-behaved, and the angry words that come out of his mouth are completely different from the life-threatening words.
Xia Lingling no longer looked at him, but looked at the river in the distance, and continued:
"I decided that day, no matter how hard it was, I was going to get this treehouse right. It took me three months to build the tree that had fallen to the ground, sawed it and polished it into planks. On the day it was built, I lay here, drunk, and no one celebrated with me, so I celebrated by myself, talked to myself, and giggled at myself. ”
"Since that day, I have also understood one thing, the things in this world will never disappear, just like this tree, I cut it down, and it will come out the next day, because the time of day is repeated, just like the things in the mall, you take them, only to find that the thing has reappeared the next day."
She just babbled, smiling back at Jin, only to catch a glimpse of the consternation in his eyes.
