Xu Qingzhu shook his head at Xu Zizhen, "It's okay."
...
oh.
Xu Zizhen withdrew his gaze.
…
The corners of Xu Qingzhu's mouth just curled up -
Um?
He was slightly startled.
This is……
He stretched out his hand.
A crimson maple leaf fell leisurely on his palm.
Is it a coincidence?
Xu Qingzhu looked up at the maple tree in front of him.
Just then a breeze blew by, and the maple leaves rustled.
Except for the maple leaf in his hand, no other maple leaves fell.
…
"Hey, uncle, where did your maple leaf come from?"
The wind just now made Xu Zijian's eyes slightly tilted, and he caught a flash of bright red from the corner of his eye.
He took a closer look and saw a beautiful maple leaf lying in his uncle's hand.
Really beautiful.
The color is crimson and the shape is exquisite, just like a handicraft that was processed later, but with a touch of agility.
…
"It fell off on its own."
Xu Qingzhu picked up the stem of the maple leaf and looked at it carefully.
Well.
Make a bookmark when you get back.
…
"Did you drop it yourself?"
Xu Zizhen was a little envious, "Why did such a beautiful maple leaf fall?"
It stands to reason that fallen leaves have more or less defects.
Even the good leaves will not fall.
"Uncle, did you really not pick it yourself?"
Xu Zizhen was suspicious.
…
"How can it be?"
Xu Qingzhu laughed, "How could I pick the leaves of Ling Maple?"
yes.
Xu Zizhen also knows.
He was just talking casually.
I also knew in my heart that it was impossible.
This maple tree is Ling Maple.
Just forget it if you don’t know.
After knowing this, who dares to pick leaves casually?
Anyway, he didn't dare.
"Uncle, you are so lucky."
Xu Zizhen was envious, "I also want such a beautiful leaf."
In fact, he has "coveted" Lingfeng's leaves for a long time.
He couldn't see Ling Maple, so it would be nice to have a leaf as a souvenir.
It's a pity that he "has a thief's heart but no courage."
Every time I can only look at the maple trees with salivation.
I hope that one day I can "pick up the slack".
Unexpectedly, what he had thought about countless times would happen to his uncle.
...
Ah~
Xu Zizhen was a little angry.
Did God make a mistake?
It was obviously him who had always hoped so.
Xu Zizhen opened his hands.
Xu Qingzhu raised his eyebrows, "What are you doing?"
"Wait until the leaves fall into my hands."
Xu Zizhen stared at the maple tree seriously.
Xu Qingzhu:......
The old man couldn't help but rolled his eyes, "Idiot."
The old lady couldn't help but smile and narrowed her eyes.
This stupid kid.
…
Xu Zizhen, who was reduced to a "joke":...
The corners of his mouth twitched and his eyes suddenly lit up.
"How about uncle..."
Xu Zizhen smiled with a "flattery" look on his face, "Can you give me this leaf?"
"Didn't you get the leaves that Ling Feng gave you before?"
"Then give me this leaf that fell by itself!"
…
"This leaf was also given to Uncle Xu by Ling Feng."
Xiao Xiao frowned at Ling Feng who was looking over.
…
"……Why?"
Xu Zizhen's face fell.
"This leaf was also given to uncle by Ling Feng, didn't it fall by itself?"
…
Xu Qingzhu was a little surprised.
He subconsciously looked at the maple tree.
Then he looked at Master Xiao again, "But this time I didn't do anything..."
Last time, he found Master Xiao because he found something wrong with Ling Feng's mood, which could be regarded as doing Ling Feng a small favor.
So Lingfeng gave him a leaf as a thank you gift.
Xu Qingzhu couldn't help but place her hand on the pocket of her coat near her heart.
That gift has been kept close to his heart.
Because Master Xiao said it was a gift similar to an amulet.
But this time, he was told everything after the incident was over.
He obviously didn't do anything...
Ling Feng... why did you give him another gift?
…
"Sometimes you don't need a reason to give a gift."
Xiao Xiao smiled and said, "If it wants to give you a gift, it will give you a gift."
Xu Qingzhu was stunned.
Then the smile spread from the corners of his eyes to his face.
"Lingfeng."
He looked up at the maple tree and said, "Thank you for your gift."
"I will cherish it."
…
"簌簌~"
Maple leaf windless automatic.
It seemed that he was responding to Xu Qingzhu's words.
…
The smile in Xu Qingzhu's eyes deepened a little more.
I carefully put away the maple leaf.
…
The old man who saw such a scene for the first time was stunned.
The leaves fell by themselves...
It was windy just now...
But it's just a breeze.
Where can I blow the leaves?
There are still leaves with no signs of wilting.
The leaves are not so easy to blow.
…
Is it really a gift from a monster?
The old man and the old lady looked at each other in unison.
The somewhat cloudy eyes reflected the other party's surprise and disbelief.
Although they have somewhat accepted the setting that this maple tree is a monster...
They had also seen such a magical scene before...
Speaking of shocking... the scene of leaves falling into people's hands is naturally not as shocking as the previous "dead wood blooms in spring" scene.
However, they were still impacted.
They even felt that it touched them more this time.
To give a reason...
The two old men didn't know how to come up.
Probably... it's because there were people... and demons in the scene just now.
Humans and demons have a connection...
The old lady suddenly laughed.
"What's wrong?"
The old man was a little confused.
"I just feel... relieved."
The old lady's eyebrows were arched.
Although the story Sun Tzu told is very good, but...
The other party is a monster.
Does the other party really mean no harm?
The only thing Qingzhu did that made him lose his temper was that incident.
Maybe she is too worried...
She always felt a little apprehensive in her heart.
However, the scene just now dispelled the last scruples in her heart.
…
"You."
The old man smiled knowingly, "I like to think too much about everything."
"If something really happened, it would have happened a long time ago."
"It's been so many years..."
The children back then had already started families and started careers...
"Just relax."
"Um."
The old lady nodded.
She knows.
From now on, in her heart, this maple tree is not only a monster, but also her son's friend.
They are also the neighbors they have lived with for so long.
…
The old man grinned.
He slapped his grandson on the back with his backhand.
"What are you mumbling about all by yourself?"
…
"Ouch~"
Xu Zizhen almost stumbled.
"grandfather!"
Xu Zizhen steadied himself.
The old man curled his lips and said, "It's useless."
The old lady was unhappy, "You bad old man, why are you bullying my grandson?"
Old man:......
That is also his grandson.
Besides, did he bully his grandson?
He just took a photo casually.
It was because this kid was too focused on things that he reacted so loudly.
…
Xu Zizhen smiled slightly proudly at the old man.
Seeing that the old man's face was getting worse, he hurriedly changed the subject, "I'm just a little petty..."
