After Li Qiansu left Qu Shichu's home, the strong possessive desire for her small white building that suddenly appeared in her heart did not disappear. Instead, it became more eager and intense. Even when she went to bed at night, she dreamed of that house. , but something strange was that the house in her dream was just an ordinary small building for rural residents, not the small white building that Qu Shichu had now, but she was very sure that this was Qu Shichu's house. This made her very confused.
Even after she woke up, she was still very puzzled. At the same time, she didn't understand why she was so obsessed with other people's houses. It was obvious that she had never been interested in houses in the countryside before. After all, she didn't enjoy rural life. She preferred to live in a convenient place. A prosperous big city, otherwise she would not buy a house in a big city even if she has to bear a large loan to work as a 996 social worker.
Could she really be interested in the decoration style of Qu Shichu's house? But she knew that this was just an excuse. Although she did like the style of that small building, her actual purpose was to visit that small building, so she had no idea where her obsession came from. Come.
Originally, she wanted to ignore this feeling. After all, the house belonged to someone else, and she could only look at it.
Thinking like this, Li Qiansu thought that as long as she spent a few days here, and when she returned to the city after her vacation, and was filled with all her free time with busy work, this inexplicable obsession would naturally disappear.
Unexpectedly, things did not develop according to her ideas at all. As time passed by, her strong obsession with owning that small building did not weaken at all. On the contrary, it became stronger and clearer. Until the last day During the vacation, she seemed to be going crazy. She always wanted to run to Qu Shichu's house involuntarily. In the end, Zhou Liwen stopped her and asked her doubtfully where she wanted to go.
After being pulled back, Li Qiansu realized the strangeness of her thoughts and behavior. She was startled, as if she had woken up from some kind of bewitchment. She was extremely surprised and felt that she was abnormal. She wished she could leave here and go back immediately.
If that small building was not a building but a person, Li Qiansu would think that she had been bewitched, but it was a building, and Li Qiansu couldn't help it even if she wanted to doubt it.
Qu Shichu didn't know that Li Qiansu was so entangled and strange. She was currently only interested in a three-meter-tall tree with yellow leaves that suddenly appeared in the back of her house.
Originally, Qu Shichu didn't notice it. After all, the back mountain was a forest, with not many things except trees and grass. It was normal for a tree that didn't grow well to appear occasionally.
But the problem is that the tree doesn't grow in a different place every day.
Qu Shichu would come to the place where the Gate of Time and Space is basically every night to check to see if anyone from other worlds had traveled through. She hadn't found it in the past few days, so she thought that no one had traveled through.
Later she discovered that no one really traveled through it because it was a tree.
At first glance, this tree looks no different from the trees in the back hill. It just has too many yellow leaves, which makes it seem incompatible with the green trees around it.
But this tree was too lively. It took root in a different place every day, which made it impossible for Qu Shichu not to notice.
Qu Shichu squatted next to this tree and looked at it carefully. He found that its leaves were like copper coins, and there were small fluffy thorns on the underside of the leaves. They felt a little prickly to the touch. , may cause injury to human or animal skin.
This small tree looks very lifeless at first glance, as if it grows in a place where the land is barren and has been dry for a long time. The trunk is only two adults' fingers thick, and the bark is rough and dry. It is not as smooth and tender as a small tree at all. It is the bark grown from trees that are decades old.
The leaves are also yellow, and many of them are dry and fallen. The whole tree looks a lot bald. Anyway, it is a tree that has been malnourished for a long time.
But even though the time it traveled through time was getting longer and longer, it became more and more energetic.
"Hey, are you conscious? Can you communicate with others?" Qu Shichu pinched a leaf and asked gently.
She waited for a while, but the little tree didn't respond at all. It seemed like the surrounding trees. Even if there was some movement, it was blown by the wind.
Qu Shichu thought about it and said to himself: "This tree seems to be dying of disease. I'm afraid it has some disease. In order to prevent it from spreading the disease to other trees and leaving the mountain bare, I'd better go back." Come with the shovel, dig it up by the roots and burn it."
After saying that, she was about to get up and go home to get a shovel, but as soon as she turned around, she felt that the hem of her skirt was caught by something. She looked down and saw that it was a branch of a small yellow tree.
At the same time, a crisp and angry young man's voice suddenly appeared: "I won't die! I don't have any infectious disease! I'm just not in good health and need to recuperate!"
When he first heard the song, he chuckled. He turned back to look at the small yellow tree and said, "Finally stop pretending to be dumb?"
"Hmph! The evil-hearted human being actually wants to poach me and burn me! I am a precious Pia tree, you are so ignorant." Xiao Huangshu said angrily.
"Pia tree people? Is this a human species? Are you a person who can turn into a tree from a human, or a person who can turn a tree into a human?" Qu Shichu was very curious, and added an explanation, "Does it mean that you are a tree or a tree? people?"
The little yellow tree shook its malnourished and yellow branches and said, "Of course the great Pia tree man is actually a tree. You are so stupid!"
"Then will you turn into a human?" Qu Shichu ignored its bad temper and asked again.
"Of course. As long as we Piashu people have intelligence, we can naturally turn into humans. It's just that we prefer our own body shape, and it is more conducive to survival to keep our body shape, so we rarely turn into humans. "Xiao Huangshu said proudly.
"Then you turn into a human and show me?" Qu Shichu asked rudely.
"I...I can't change for the time being..." Xiao Huangshu suddenly became disappointed. "I was injured too seriously. I have to replenish my body's energy. Without enough energy, I can't become a human."
"Oh, why are you injured?" Qu Shichu asked again, without any doubt. After all, the little yellow tree looked like this.
"It was sneak attacked by a despicable gray wolf orc, hum! It actually robbed me. It used such dirty methods even though it couldn't compete with me in outdoor adventures. It is indeed a cunning and vicious orc..." Xiao Huangshu said angrily. said.
Qu Shichu's eyes suddenly lit up: "There are still orcs in your world? There are tree people and orcs, so who else is there? Tell me?"
She was not interested in the feud between Xiao Huangshu and the gray wolf orcs, but she was very interested in the human composition of that world.
