Chapter 37: The Old Tree Man 2
Words don't have to be spoken by people, they can also be spoken by trees, and they can be spoken by sycamore trees!
I didn't hear it clearly, it didn't matter, and the sycamore tree also repeated: "What the hell do you want"
At this time, everyone was sure that the human words were coming from the tree, because the sound of the wood and the sound of the leaves were more or less shocking!
Tao Xiaozhi heard it speak, but he didn't find the mouth that spoke, so he smiled and said, "I want to see your original form!"
Wutong said: "Even I don't know what my original form is!"
Tao Xiaozhi smiled: "Then you can turn back into that pine tree, I have a lot to say to it!"
Wutong suddenly stopped talking, probably surprised, surprised for a while.
Brother Xiaohu was puzzled: "I really don't understand, why do you keep saying that the sycamore is a pine tree!
Wutong was obviously not listening to Brother Xiaohu, and continued: "Why do you think that I am a pine tree, there should be a big difference between a pine tree and a sycamore......
Tao Xiaozhi smiled: "No matter how big the difference is, there is a more conspicuous flaw, your identity"
"What a flaw," Sycamore exclaimed.
Tao Xiaozhi pointed to the trunk of the tree and said with a smile: "It's the 'tattoo' on your body, Lao Huang is here to visit!"
If you don't look closely, you really won't find that it also has such a "famous sentence" on it, just like the strange pine tree!
That strange pine tree does have such words
Wutong was still very calm and said: "Even if there is the same lettering, it can't be said to be the same tree, just like there is not only one person called 'Lao Huang' in the world, not to mention that the appearance of the two is very different!"
"Reasonable!" Tao Xiaozhi smiled, "but if you are not a pine tree, why are you so concerned about these three birds? If I remember correctly, they seem to be on that pine tree......
Brother Xiaohu said angrily: "People see you spoil them so much, and they can't bear to be so suicidal, so they come to help!"
Brother Xiaohu is now on the anvil and has to live to compliment others, so he can shoot as many sycophants as he wants, and shoot as loudly as he wants. If you really don't dare to compliment her hymns, then the following paragraph may make you admire the five bodies!
Brother Xiaohu continued to lyrically: "The great sycamore~ You are the giant of the tree, the hero of the green forest, you are like a sharp sword pointing straight to the sky, the moon and the stars are at your fingertips! The great sycamore~ You are a signpost in the woods, the lost bird sees you, sees hope, and finds the way home; You are a tenacious warrior, no matter how strong the wind, how fierce the rain, how much snow, you can always stubbornly survive, standing between heaven and earth, a hundred years without falling, like the mainstay of the flow of time, let it rush, the mind and body are still undamaged, shining! Those garbage pine trees or something, if compared to you, he is more small than an ant, he is just waste wood, and he uses it as firewood for the woodcutter, and he thinks that his smoke is too thick, and he has smoked all the mosquitoes in the world half to death......"
Patting people on the back, not everyone is happy, how high is the attainment of the horse, can you make people comfortable, Wutong is a good example.
Sycamore was furious, swaggering, the leaves fluttering, and said angrily: "I'm the waste pine tree you said"
Wutong was furious, bolted Brother Xiaohu tighter, and then hit her head on the ground, knocking her head into a bloody stream, and almost a big red flower bloomed on her head
"Stop" Tao Xiaozhi held up the bird's nest and shouted, "If you dare to make fun of her head, I will have to fight a tooth for a tooth!"
The sycamore is really obedient, if it has a face, it is probably a gritted tooth expression!
Wutong said: "What do you want?"
This sentence seems to have been asked three times.
Tao Xiaozhi smiled: "Let's make a deal!"
"What deal?"
"Bird substitution!"
"Okay, deal!"
"Don't worry, wait" Tao Xiaozhi touched his chin and said, "There is an additional clause!"
"What additional terms?"
"Even if you have to bring the roast deer with you!"
Wutong said angrily: "It's not fair, you use one thing to pay me back two things!"
Tao Xiaozhi said with a smile: "It should be said that you exchange two things for three things for me, because I have three birds on hand, but if you still think it's not fair, then you can just send the roast deer over, that person is not worth anything~"
Brother Xiaohu was shocked and said angrily: "What, I'm not valuable, can't I even compare to three birds or roast deer, that's a life."
Tao Xiaozhi smiled evilly: "Life, some are heavier than Mount Tai, some are lighter than Hongmao, and you belong to the latter, you are worthless at all."
Brother Xiaohu cried and said: "Okay, you have a kind! My human life, although it is lighter than a feather, but my ghost life is heavier than Mount Tai! I actually treat life as dung for a roast deer, I will crush you to death as a ghost."
Wutong said to Tao Xiaozhi: "I also deeply sympathize: her life is not even as good as dung, and dung can also be used as fertilizer!"
Tao Xiaozhi and Wutong laughed loudly, of course, Brother Xiaohu also laughed, but it was just a bitter smile.
Said that Wutong smiled, not from the voice, but from the sight, because it showed a mouth, more than a boat!
Not only did the mouth be exposed, but the whole face was exposed, and of course, the face had the same things as a human being: eyes, nose, etc., and the most conspicuous thing was that there were probably more wrinkles than its annual rings!
The only difference is that these are wooden, very lifeless, and not as good as a bad wooden statue, especially those eyes, which have no brilliance at all!
But, surprisingly, this wooden face is movable, just like a human!
The face hung four or five feet from the trunk of the tree, and it came out of nowhere.
Tao Xiaozhi was no longer surprised by this, because he had already been mentally prepared, but he couldn't help but ask curiously: "What are you?"
Sycamore smiled, exaggeratedly, but not brightly, for his eyes were completely devoid of brilliance.
"My name is Old Dragon, I like to doze off, and I'm a tree man. ”
"Tree people?" Tao Xiaozhi and Brother Xiaohu said in unison.
They were amazed, not because they knew what a "tree man" was, but because they didn't know what it was!
It's the same old saying: people are always afraid of the unknown. However, don't forget that some people are instinctively curious about it, so times are always moving forward!
The old dragon said: "The tree man is a combination of a tree and a man, just like an orc!"
Tao Xiaozhi swept his head and said, "Then do you belong to animals or plants?"
What Tao Xiaozhi means is whether to call him "he" or "it".
The old dragon's eyes turned slowly, and the "squeaky" wood rubbing sound was particularly sharp, obviously, he also felt that this problem was more annoying than entering menopause: "This problem ~ still has to look at it from two aspects: on the one hand, I need sunlight, water, nutrients, etc., which can interact with sunlight to produce many useful nutrients, flowering and fruiting, winter and summer, etc., which are the characteristics of plants; I can sleep, I can do anything, and most importantly, I can think, because I have a well-developed mind!"
Brother Xiaohu sighed and said: "It's really hard to tell if it's a tree or a person, the boundaries are not clear, just like an orc!"
Tao Xiaozhi smiled: "This is actually very easy to judge"
"What do you say?" asked Brother Xiaohu and Lao Long in unison.
Tao Xiaozhi said with a smile: "'Tree man', because of the word 'person', so the word 'tree' is just a modification, such as 'good person', 'bad person', 'beauty', etc., in full, it is 'a person with tree characteristics', so 'tree man' is 'person', regardless of his 'what kind of person'! Of course, what 'orc', 'Warcraft man' and so on are the same, it's just a play on words."
Reasonable!
Brother Xiaohu and Lao Long suddenly realized, and constantly admired their intelligence and intelligence.
The old dragon sighed: "I have lived to be more than ninety years old, and I really don't know whether I am a tree or a person."
"It doesn't matter if it's a tree or a person," Tao Xiaozhi said, "It's important not to do things that are particularly immoral, such as stealing someone else's roast deer."
Finally, back to the theme of this story, the three of them suddenly stopped laughing, and even the three stupid birds stopped calling.
