All things are called beautiful, but strange stones are beautiful because they are ugly! The uglier they are, the more they show their appreciation.

Obviously, this stone has all the above characteristics, this is a Taihu Lake stone, and it is also a quite ornamental strange stone.

Ye Nineteen remembers that in the small courtyard where Uncle Lu lived alone, there was such a Taihu Lake Stone, and when she was a child, Mei'er's sister often played with herself.

Taihu stone is generally produced in the south of the mainland, like the northern grassland snow mountains do not produce this kind of strange stone, think about this stone must be which snow mountain master, from the Central Plains to bring something.

Everyone walked slowly around this Taihu Lake stone and watched it. When turning to the back of the Taihu Stone, Shen Siyuan suddenly shouted: "Look, there are words on it!"

Several people surrounded them, only to see that on the back of the Taihu Lake stone, there was a place that was ground to be very smooth and flat, and there were three words engraved on it, the stone of forgetfulness.

The handwriting is very delicate and neat, the handwriting is deep into the stone, although it is not everyone's pen, but this word is definitely a masterpiece!

Look carefully at the traces of the seal carving, the edges are smooth and round, and it does not seem to be carved with any tool!

Shen Xiaofeng stretched out his finger and compared it with the handwriting, but his finger was much thicker than the handwriting. A few people knew that he stretched out his fingers to make a comparison, because everyone also suspected that these three words were written by people with their fingers!

But the font is half a point thinner than the human finger, and everyone secretly guesses what kind of tools did the person who wrote the words use?

Shen Siyuan was curious on the side, and also stretched out her fingers to compare, although her fingers were much thinner than Shen Xiaofeng's fingers, but they were still slightly thicker than the word.

Seeing Shen Siyuan's fingers, several people suddenly realized that this character was written with their fingers! However, the person who left the word was a woman, and it should be a young woman.

Taihu stone is not a very hard stone, leaving words on the stone, almost a few people present can do it.

Why did this woman leave these three words? Come to think of it, the woman who left the words must have been trapped by love at that time, and she wrote these three words in an extremely sour mood......

Suddenly, the three words on this stone seemed to have a poignant meaning in the eyes of everyone.

Shen Siyuan is simple-minded, and he has never experienced the emotional affairs between men and women, and after reading the words on the stone for a while, he lost interest. Seeing that the trees on the left and right were a little strange, I went to study the two red trees again.

"Sister Luo, these two trees are also very strange, you see, the roots of these two trees are actually connected!"

Many of the roots of this tree are bare on the ground, and upon closer inspection, these roots are indeed connected together through the underside of the Taihu Lake stone. The first time everyone saw this strange tree, they were all amazed.

"Sister Luo, you often walk around outside, and you are well-informed, I don't know what kind of tree this is, sister?"

Luo Yiyi looked around the two trees carefully, thought for a moment, and then said: "If I remember correctly, these two trees should be the acacia trees recorded in the book......

"Acacia tree? What kind of tree is this? I've never heard of it before, Sister Luo is really well-informed, she has even seen such a strange tree, it's really amazing!"

Luo Yiyi smiled slightly, "Actually, it's the first time I've seen this acacia tree, but I've seen a record of this tree in an ancient book before." Now these two trees are almost identical in shape and color to the ones depicted in the book, so I dare to assume that they are acacia trees!"

"Sister Luo, I've only heard of acacia beans before, could it be that acacia beans are the fruit of this tree?"

"My sister said that it was red beans from Jiangnan, which is what everyone often calls acacia beans. It's just that the acacia bean has nothing to do with the acacia tree, let alone the fruit of the acacia tree.

It is recorded that the acacia tree never bears fruit and only blooms once in its lifetime, and when it blooms, it withers and dies. ”

"Why do you die as soon as it blooms?"

The book says that the acacia tree is divided into two plants, one female and one male, which are born next to each other and echo each other. The two trees are about the same shape and size. The canopy of the tree resembles a two-handed heart, and the roots grow only in the direction of each other, and never spread out half of the stalk elsewhere.

When these roots grow to the point where they can touch each other, they are only intertwined at first, but after a period of time, the roots become one and are no longer separated from each other.

But when the roots of the two trees become one, the stems will slowly move closer and closer due to the mutual attraction. Until even the tree poles will come together, and in the end, the two pairs will turn into one tree.

However, when they become one, it is time to bloom, and once the acacia tree blooms, it will quickly age and wither.

It is said that after the acacia tree blooms, it can only have half a day, and the flowers are divided into nine petals, and nine colors, black, white, red, orange, yellow, green, green, blue, purple, covering all the colors in the world, and it is even more gorgeous!

When the flowers bloom, a large red bird will land on the canopy of the tree, and when the flowers are at their most vibrant, they will take the flower away. The acacia tree then spontaneously combusted, burned into a pile of ashes, and finally became a fine speck of dust that fell into the world, and no trace of their existence could be found.

During the flight of the red bird, the petals will fall from time to time, and legend has it that where each petal falls, a pair of acacia trees will regenerate after three years!

Therefore, it is written that if you want two trees to survive longer, you need to put a barrier between them, so that they can only look at each other, but never come together. As long as they don't merge, they will never wither and die, but this is just a legend, and no one has ever seen an acacia tree that has lived for more than a thousand years.

Alas...... Maybe a thousand years is really too long a painful torture for the acacia tree......

This tree is like two people who love each other, they miss each other, but they are separated from each other, and they cannot embrace each other in their lives, so they can only be on one side! They would rather turn to ashes than suffer from this lovesickness, so some people have given it the name Acacia Tree. ”

"Oh, so that's the case, this ugly stone is lying between them, so that they can never be together! These two acacia trees are really pitiful, this stinky stone is really hateful......" Shen Siyuan couldn't help but sigh.

"It can't be said that if it weren't for the barrier of this Taihu Lake stone, maybe these two trees would have turned into dust long ago...... The acacia tree grows slowly, and it is said that the hundred-year-old tree is only as thick as a human arm, and if there is no barrier, the acacia tree will generally merge into one in about a hundred years and disappear. Looking at the thickness of these two trees, I am afraid that they are hundreds of years old......"

"If I am also this acacia tree, of course I would rather turn to dust than suffer from that lovesickness! Even if I live for thousands of years, I can live so hard every day, what is the point of living?"

"It seems that someone deliberately placed this forgetful stone between the two trees, just so that these two trees can live longer......"

"I really want to destroy this ugly stone, but if I destroy it, this tree will end up in ashes, it's really hard to choose, and it's no wonder that someone has carved the word "Forgetful Stone" on this ugly stone!"

"After a hundred years, we watch each other, and lovesickness is long.

The roots are connected, the flowers are waiting to be released, and the embrace is destined to be doomed.

The earth is long, and the flowers are changed in an instant......"

Luo Yiyi only chanted a few words softly, perhaps sighing at the acacia tree, and then said no more......

Luo Yiyi explained the origin of this acacia tree, and several people looked at this acacia tree and couldn't help but evoke the story in their hearts.

Trees will be lovesick, then, what about people?

Embracing each other is destined to be doomed, the earth is long, and the beauty is changed in an instant......

Night Nineteen silently recited it again, and at this time, a sour feeling suddenly surged in his heart, because he was now extremely longing for the Helian thrush in the distance.

remembered that night, the parting after hugging each other......

It rained heavily that night, and the rain that night drenched her face, her miserable face, his clothes, and the bottom of his heart......

There are so many things that have happened these days, and I have already talked about those thoughts......

But when Luo Yiyi talked about this acacia tree, he immediately evoked the endless thoughts of the night nineteen.

Missing is an indescribable pain, and lovesickness is an unforgettable pain, and the pain is unbearable......

Looking at the two acacia trees that looked at each other but couldn't hug each other, Night Nineteen fell silent.

At this time, are you and her just like this acacia tree? Just a brief embrace, separated in the bleak wind and cold rain, now each side, thinking of each other, but separated by thousands of miles, although the period of meeting will not be too far, but it is even more difficult.

Now, Night Nineteen really wants to be by her side and see her smile like a flower......

At this moment, the thoughts for her suddenly became so thick, so thick that they couldn't be dissolved or dispersed......

pressed heavily on his heart, so that his eyes were full of deep longing......

Night Nineteen unconsciously cast his eyes on the far south......

Now, she's almost home......

————————————

In May, Beizhen is now extremely prosperous, and almost all the inns and restaurants are full of guests.

These guests are all merchants who are preparing to enter the grassland, but I heard that there is a new horse thief on the grassland, and the power is huge!

And this group of horse thieves is extremely fierce, it is said that the leader of that group of horse thieves is called Redbeard!

It is said that this redbeard kills people without blinking, kills people and robs money, and is not merciless! The horse thieves under his command are even more rampant, and some people say that there are horse thieves even outside Beizhen! As soon as the caravan enters the grassland, he will start plundering!

At this time, no matter how these businessmen see how they see money and how they aim to make profits, in the current situation, even businessmen who are greedy for money will not dare to enter the grassland.

Therefore, although there are many caravans in North Town, there are still not many mercenaries who have found a job.
