"That's your home?" Chen Xing asked in surprise.

"Yes, yes, are you coming up?"

Her tone was brisk, as if climbing a tree didn't require much effort.

She soon arrived at a small room made of various branches, planks, and black tarpaulins, and sat down at the door and opened the plastic bag that the children had just delivered.

Chen Xing smelled the strong smell of beef again.

The nose spirit is also a sin.

"If you don't come up, I won't climb a tree." Chen Xing said.

The girl could have gone into the tree house to eat, but she didn't do so, and while eating, she said to Chen Xing, who was already far away: "That's a pity, the scenery on here is very beautiful, what is your name, where are you a tourist from Asia?" ”

"Huaxia."

"Wow, that's a good country, it's several Sweden big."

Several? I really don't know!

Sweden seems to have only 400,000 square kilometers, while China has more than 9 million.

Sweden is less than a fraction of the size of China, and it is only the area of a province.

For people in Europe, they travel abroad like going out of the province in China, and it is no wonder that so many countries in Europe are in the same breath, and it doesn't matter if they are a family.

She loves to chat and talks a lot to Chen Xing.

is very principled, saying that Chen Xing can only eat if he climbs up, and now he really doesn't give Chen Xing at all.

Just as he wanted to say goodbye and continue walking, Chen Xing heard someone running towards him.

Chen Xing couldn't understand the swedish language that was chattering.

I thought it had nothing to do with me, but then I found that this group of people was coming towards me, and the leader was a child, one of the children that Chen Xing saw just now, followed by a group of men and women, speaking an incomprehensible Swedish dialect and walking towards this side.

Although I don't know what they said, I look at the face...... It's unfriendly.

It's just vicious.

But after approaching Chen Xing, the faces of several people changed, and they looked at his equipment suspiciously.

This is a gringo tourist......

It's just that it's hard to see foreigners in this small place.

"You are?" Someone asked in English.

Finally someone could speak in English, Chen Xing hurriedly replied: "I'm a tourist, if this is your private place, then I can leave now, I'm sorry, I didn't know before." ”

Encourage first!

The English-speaking man said a misunderstanding to Chen Xing, and then said to his companion.

"It's just an ordinary tourist."

"Who said there was a foreign boss?"

"Boy, you can see clearly in the future, we are tired of running so far!"

"That's gone."

"Don't worry, this handsome guy is so good-looking, wait for me to get to know him."

Everyone was talking about it, Chen Xing was a little depressed, it was better to leave earlier, go faster, and now they are all in the city.

There was a burst of laughter from the trees.

The woman didn't know when she came down with the food, and listened to them from a tree a few meters high.

Only then did Chen Xing see her face clearly.

She was in her twenties, very young, her hair was white, but it was gray in the dim light of the woods, but it couldn't hide the smile on her face, and now she was sitting on a thick branch, eating steak with a fork in one hand, and a box in the other, her legs still dangling back and forth.

I'm not afraid of falling at all.

It's so well balanced.

Everyone looked at her when she laughed, and after she had said a few words, the group was ready to leave, this time with a completely different attitude than when they came, and the English-speaking people apologized to him, and then said a few words like happy travel.

When they were all gone, Chen Xing said to the girl on the tree who was close to giving a speech, "What did you say to them?" Why are they all gone? ”

"I said you were my friend, and you came to see me from abroad."

“……”

"You're their boss?"

The scene just now looked quite majestic, there were more than a dozen people in that group, and they were persuaded away with a word.

Chen Xing is not envious of this ability.

He was also majestic, who hasn't been young and frivolous, but he wondered why this group of people would listen to a woman.

"It's not."

"Then why are they so obedient?"

She smiled, hung the food bag on a branch, patted her side and said to Chen Xing, "Do you want to know?" Then come up and talk to me, I'm dying of boredom. ”

Chen Xing saw that her eyes were very clear and good-looking, and he only thought about it for a few seconds before nodding and agreeing, and then climbed up.

I don't dare to go up more than ten meters or twenty meters, but a few meters high is still okay.

Chen Xing hadn't climbed a tree for a long time.

But now that his hand touched the trunk of the tree, he soon thought of being taken by his cousin to climb the tree when he was a child, jumped up and grabbed the branch as a support, and soon came to the girl, this person is really good-looking, especially when he laughs, there is a feeling of the Nordic version of Zhang Zifeng.

"Look, didn't you come up and say you can't climb trees?"

She rolled her eyes, took out two pieces of bread from the bag and handed them to Chen Xing, and said, "I heard your stomach scream, haha, here you go, you take it." ”

Chen Xing was not a polite person, and said with a smile: "Thank you, I'm ready to eat." ”

"Wait a minute!"

He hurriedly grabbed Chen Xing, and then took out a small snack-like package from the pocket of his jacket, which was full of Swedish words Chen Xing couldn't understand, but after she tore it open, he knew that it was a sliced ham, and it smelled quite fragrant.

She squeezed it out and put it between two loaves of bread, and then said, "It's okay, it's a little more delicious." ”

Don't be fooled by domestic bread.

European bread is actually not delicious in Chen Xing's opinion, not very sweet, and it is easy to eat dry mouth, just like steamed buns, you have to drink some water to be more energetic. I don't know what the ingredients are for this ham-scented snack, but it definitely tastes better when added to bread than if it were nibbled on bread.

After two bites, the whole body brought a comfortable feeling to Chen Xing.

Fan Dabiao doesn't deceive me.

When people are hungry, as long as they have something to eat, they are very happy.

Sitting on a branch five meters above the ground, surrounded by some cedar trees at this height, and the trees on the other side of the road have no leaves, maybe they have been blown away by the wind from the passing cars? Anyway, he could see through the trees to the road where the occasional car passed.

Suddenly, a dirty hand appeared in front of Chen Xing's eyes, the hand shape was very good, but there were many calluses on the hand, especially under the tiger's mouth.

Now this one has a bag of milk in his hand.

Chen Xing looked at her hand, and went to see her when he took it to eat.

Woman, you managed to get my attention.

Really, this is too mysterious.

He tore through the corner of the bag, took a sip of milk to sweeten the bread in his mouth, and then said, "My name is Chen Xing, and I said before that I am from Huaxia, what about you." ”

"Julie, my name is Julie Carroll."

She wasn't worried about what would happen at this height, her hands were propped up on both sides of her buttocks, and her legs were dangling, so Chen Xing could guess that she was very happy now, but what was happy? It's not like you're falling in love with yourself, is it?

Chen Xing thought about it narcissistically.

But her eyes were different from those superficial Yangou girls, Chen Xing didn't see infatuation in the way she looked at her, just pure joy.

Barely stopping his hunger, Chen Xing breathed a sigh of relief: "Now you can say it, who are they?" ”

"They are all volunteers from several nearby towns or villages, and sometimes they will bring me something, and the three children who were scared away by you are their younger brothers, haha, do you look terrible? They'll be scared away by you. ”

Chen Xing subconsciously touched his face.

"Don't touch it, you're good-looking."

"Thanks for the compliment."

"Haha, I'm not blind."

At this time, the sun slanted a little from the middle, just enough to hit them, Julie raised her head and closed her eyes, letting the sun shine on her neck, and the white of her hair also highlighted her complexion, very white, a kind of white that had been at home for too long and not going out.

"It's so nice to bask in the sun in winter."

"Well, is that room yours? Looks pretty good. ”

Zhu Li looked up at the house she had repaired, mumbled, nodded heavily, and said, "I built it myself, it looks better inside, it is also wide, there is a bed for me to sleep in, and a small table made of tree branches, which is very comfortable when I sleep at night, and two birds are my neighbors...... Oh, not two, it's two, one is a black-throated woodbird and the other is a red-breasted, both beautiful. ”

"Do you want to go up and have a look?" She also looked at Chen Xing and asked.

"No, no, no!"

Her tree house is thirty meters to say the least, especially at this height, Chen Xing glanced down, his legs were a little weak, not to mention climbing up step by step along the tree.

Chen Xing was only afraid that he had the courage to go up, but he didn't have the courage to come down.

"That's right!" Chen Xing suddenly realized, "You just said that you slept on it?" There's no way you're going to live here, are you? ”

"You guessed it, that's where I live."

“？？？”

Subway old man puzzled.

"But...... Why? ”

"For the sake of this tree." She patted the branch of the tree where she was sitting, which made Chen Xing's heart tremble.

However, the branches were very stable and did not shake at all.

"This tree is 1,400 years old, probably the largest tree in the surrounding 100 miles, it has guarded us for many years, and there are many small animals living on this tree." Before Julie finished speaking, a squirrel quickly climbed up the tree from the ground, chirping.

His ability to climb trees was many times more powerful than Chen Xing's, and he couldn't see the squirrel in a blink of an eye.

"Look, there are a lot of birds besides squirrels."

"Do you like animals?"

"I don't deny it, but I don't live in trees because I like these animals, I'm just because of the tree itself."

Chen Xing still didn't understand.

Zhu Li put away her smiling expression, pursed her lips and lowered her head to sigh, and said to Chen Xing: "A year ago, the Slagnes government issued a notice to cut down this tree, because this tree was too big and blocked the growth of many plants around. ”

Indeed, nature is all about the jungle, and this is not only for animals, but also for plants.

Larger trees will have deeper roots, and the canopy will grow taller and spread out in all directions because they want to absorb more sunlight, so that the plants around it will of course not get sunlight.

But it's a pity to cut down such a big tree......

Chen Xing only felt a pity, Zhu Li just felt angry, hammered the tree trunk several times in Chen Xing's surprised eyes, and said fiercely: "What kind of foolish order is this, this tree has elves, if the tree is cut down, where does the elves live?" ”

"Elves?"

"It's the elf of our Norse legend, the kind of elf who will turn into a maiden during the festival and spend the festival with us, go shopping, and return to the forest at night."

Detective Chen Xing touched his chin with his hand.

Are you talking about yourself?

"So what? Do you want to find the elves. ”

"No, as long as I live on it, they won't come and cut down this tree." She said that there was still some smugness here, shaking her feet, "In addition to a little boring accident, the feeling of living in a tree is unexpectedly very good, listening to the sound of birds, sleeping is more fragrant, really, you can try." ”

Chen Xing looked up at the 'tree house', which looked very small due to the distance, and shuddered.

"No, no, no."

It was only then that he saw that the girl's eyes narrowed into a line, revealing a light-hearted atmosphere, full of humor.

I'm kidding.

But at this time, Chen Xing realized what a terrifying thing Zhu Li was talking about in a relaxed tone, she had lived alone in this tree for a long time in order to prevent people from cutting down this tree, and she would continue to live like this.

Unless the local government withdraws the order to cut down.

She was in front of the referee and was in a tug-of-war with a regional government.

Chen Xing looked up again to see where she lived, and then looked at her for a long time with a very deep and serious expression, and saw that Zhu Li's white face turned red, and then asked:

"You're really good, how long have you lived?"

"Quick...... It's been a year. She also replied in a deep voice.

The atmosphere gradually became serious, and the sky was about to die.

But Chen Xing suddenly thought of a question, so he looked towards the ground under the tree, Zhu Li found that after that, his face turned white, and then he turned red again, which was very interesting, and resisted the urge to push Chen Xing down at this moment, and asked, "What about you?" Why did you come from here? ”

"On foot."

"This isn't a place for hiking, are you lying to me?"

"No, I came with a Dane who came looking for meteorites, and he was still looking for meteorites in the forest, but I wanted to leave, so I walked in the direction of the city, and that's it."

Zhu Li thought about the picture she saw a few days ago, and said with fascination: "Looking for a meteorite? There was indeed a meteor shower two days ago, which is very beautiful, so I believe you. ”

Chen Xing smiled, took the camera off his neck, opened the album and said.

"I've taken a lot of pictures, so I'll show you."

"Hmmm......"

Julie agreed very simply and was very happy.

In fact, she has a mobile phone and a computer, a battery in the treehouse, and solar charging panels in the canopy, so she can usually see the things and pictures of the outside society, but she is just enjoying the moment of communication with people.

Especially this person also shares with himself.

Julie is happy to accept such sharing.
