A small tree, less than two meters, with sparse branches, a dozen leaves, not much green, and yellowish.

Growing in the desert, no matter how tenacious the trees are, they will inevitably wither and die, leaving little vitality, withstanding the dry wind and the yellow sand.

Strange, not strange.

There shouldn't be such a tree in the desert, but this little tree exists, and it lives, although it is difficult, but it is very real.

Maybe it's the reality in the unreal, Li Yuchen can't tell it clearly, and he won't deliberately distinguish it.

He saw the tree, approached it, looked at it carefully, stood for a long time, and finally sat down under it.

Sitting under a tree, there is silence.

"Someone got there. ”

Li Yuchen fell silent, but someone couldn't be quiet, and even showed eagerness, falling into the eyes of another person.

The old figure in front of him suddenly moved, Li Shilin just smiled, and said in a harmonious voice: "Be calm." ”

Hearing this, an embarrassed smile fell into the air, and the face covered with the traces of time was full of bitterness. I wanted to say something, but the words were gagged in my mouth, and I couldn't say it when I opened my mouth.

Memories go back to the past, back to life, and before death.

"If you have something to say, it's all dead, it's not good to hold it. Li Shilin said with a smile.

"When you stand on the top of the mountain, overlooking all living beings, and suddenly a foreign object falls from the sky and smashes it on your face, how do you feel?" The old voice carried the desolation of old age, and the resentment during it has not diminished in the slightest although it has been washed by time.

The old man, who has experienced time and death, still can't let go of the pain, is deeply rooted in his heart.

Li Shilin smiled, and found that in addition to laughing, he didn't seem to be able to respond very well.

"It's sad to say this kind of thing, but I have to say it, otherwise I really don't have the opportunity to complain. The old man shook his head, closed his eyes slightly, took a deep breath, and slowly exhaled, "I am such a person, a very unlucky person. ”

"It's nothing, what's worse is that I just died, smashed to death by something falling from the sky. ”

At this point, the old man laughed, laughed helplessly, smiled weakly, laughed inexplicably and didn't know why...... Crystal tears fell from the closed eyes, but there was no trace of warmth.

is already dead, even if it is pointless to cry.

However, I just want to cry and pour out the resentment in my heart.

Li Shilin didn't say anything more, looked at the old man and shook his head, the ridiculous feeling gradually turned into sadness, and there was a vague feeling of regret that he had experienced the same thing.

"A tree fell from the sky, and I died. The old man said.

Simple, powerful words that explain what has happened, but the process is rich, not so neat, dry, full of bizarre meanings, not simply explained.

Li Yuchen saw it, and saw it with his eyes closed, a picture that had happened.

An old man climbed a mountain and stood at the top of it, the mountain at his feet, and in the distance was a mountain, connecting the mountains beyond.

It will be at the top of the mountain, and you can see the mountains at a glance.

This is the feeling of the old man standing on the top of the mountain, with a heroic spirit floating in his heart, his eyes are sharp against the mountains in the distance, and it is a thought that can overcome everything, always firm, and has never changed.

The old man has broken through, his realm has improved, and he has found a new path, feeling stronger than ever, and he can become even stronger.

He was happy, laughed out loud, and his smile floated on the top of the hill and into the clouds.

Suddenly, he seemed to sense something, and he looked up in an instant.

A tree, a small tree, less than two meters high, the branches and leaves are very sparse, there are remnants in the naked eye, and they are constantly falling.

He saw the little tree, saw it clearly, and hesitated for a moment.

Confused, shocked, frightened.

He didn't have time to wonder, he was shocked, he was shocked, he was wrapped in horror, and all the power was transported, and it was difficult to move.

He stood, letting the little tree fall and fall on top of him.

Before he had time to do anything or a chance to do anything, he was hit by a small tree and smashed on the top of his head.

Then he fell.

Then, he died.

An obsession persisted, and his soul detached from his body and built a tomb for himself.

The mountain flattened and was gone.

The green of the mountain was gone, and the green of the flat ground disappeared with it, leaving the boundless barrenness, which was blown by hot winds from time to time, sweeping the yellow sand.

The small tree rose into the air and brought the grave, and countless mud and dust gathered together, gradually condensing into an island.

The island grew larger and larger, with an abundance of life on it, before disappearing.

Li Yuchen felt that he had seen everything clearly, but he didn't seem to see anything clearly.

"My soul lives on that little tree until now. The old man closed his eyes and sighed, and continued to tell Li Shilin, "My soul is immortal, but I can't leave, so I have to look at the little tree day and night repeatedly. ”

"However, I don't know how long it has been since the outside world, but I still haven't found anything, and I'm getting more and more confused. ”

"Until you appeared, breaking the silence, I was able to leave, to manifest, but only temporarily. ”

"It won't be long before I'm gone. ”

A sad past, with too much helpless pain, and it seems that too many edges and corners have been worn away in the sharp years at the beginning, leaving a sleek involuntary, but more fulfilling.

Disappearing, it will be death, real death. The soul dissipates and no longer exists in the world, leaving no trace.

After death, the body has long disappeared, and it seems that it has been used as nourishment, absorbed by the small tree, and the remaining soul can no longer experience destruction, and it is about to dissipate.

Death, it seems to be helpless, but it is like relief.

Hesitation, for a while, has long passed.

Now, face up to death, and see everything open.

If, no more ifs.

Li Yuchen looked at Xiaoshu, with his eyes closed, and saw a sadness spreading. The slightest strangeness was released by the small tree, and gradually reached the body, bringing a very weak cold touch, expelling a lot of the heat in the air.

However, the air is still hot.

The yellow sand stopped under the small tree, it seemed to be repelled by the small tree, it seemed that it was not in the same space as the small tree at all, it seemed to be just a part of the illusion, and it was not real.

Li Yuchen sat for a long time, until he didn't want to continue sitting, but he was still sitting.

Sitting under the small tree, he felt that he could not move.

He closed his eyes and felt that he couldn't open them, but there was an image in his mind, no longer what had happened in the past, but what he could see in front of him with his eyes open.

There was a small tree, and there were several figures on the other side of the small tree.

Some are familiar, some are unfamiliar, and some are somewhere between familiar and unfamiliar. He saw it clearly, but it was blurred in a trance, and the certainty and uncertainty surfaced and entangled at the same time, and finally turned into helplessness and quietly expanded.

He watched silently.

Time passed.

He no longer saw only the scene in front of him, but also the scene behind him, and even connected the left and right and up and down, all-round vision.

He saw a lot until he saw the island.

In his mind's eye, there was a picture of an island high in the sky, full of life but barren.

He heard crying.
