Chapter 220 The Old Locust Tree

At that time, the villagers often played cards and had a rest under the big tree, because the big tree was located in the very center of the whole village.

Therefore, any festivals or meetings will be given priority when choosing a location.

Gradually, this old locust tree was endowed with special meaning by the villagers, and various rumors about the old locust tree also emerged one after another.

The villagers began to hold a ceremony for this old locust tree, and the day was chosen at the time of the annual harvest.

All the villagers gathered under this old pagoda tree, had a feast of flowing water, and put on a show.

The villagers who have worked hard for half a year will have fun on this day.

Later, someone reported that there was a fairy sitting in the old locust tree.

As long as people tie red ribbons on the old locust tree, light three sticks of incense and stick them in the soil in front of the old locust tree.

The old locust tree will protect the peace of the home, the harmony of husband and wife, and the health of children.

Therefore, there was another festival dedicated to the old locust tree.

Every year on the seventh day of the seventh lunar month, which is the Qiqiao Festival, the villagers will come to worship under the old locust tree.

Begging the old locust tree to bless itself.

The introduction of the story ended here, and the girl's voice stopped abruptly.

But in everyone's minds, the picture scroll drawn by the girl is still in everyone's minds.

It lasts forever and lasts forever.

"Then why don't you see anyone playing here now?"

Qu Qingfeng turned his head and looked around, and found that there was no one else around the old pagoda tree except the girl and him.

The picture scroll that the girl painted just now seems to be fake.

When everyone in the live broadcast room heard what Qu Qingfeng said, some people began to recall it.

"Yes, yes, if there were people coming and going before, then there shouldn't be no one now!"

"I didn't notice it even if the Taoist priest didn't say it. Now look carefully, it's really deserted here!"

The people in the live broadcast room had already recalled it, only then did they realize that the surroundings were deserted.

Not only is there no noise of people coming and going, there is also no sound of grandpa and aunt playing chess quietly, the whole area around the old locust tree.

There seemed to be no other sound except the rustling of leaves.

Hearing the Taoist priest's question, the girl's eyes were filled with nostalgia.

"When I was very young, it was still very lively here."

When the girl was seven or eight years old in this old locust tree, many uncles and aunts would still come here to dance square dance and play chess.

There are also some children who often come here to play games.

So the surroundings of this old locust tree are full of "humanity" from morning to night.

It was only later that the college student returned to the village and changed everything.

His speech at the old pagoda tree can also be said to be the closing performance of the old pagoda tree.

Because since then, almost all the people in the village have stayed at home, and all meetings in the village, large and small, have been held online.

In the beginning, some grandpas and aunts would come here to play chess and dance.

But when the older generation/most of them passed away, no one came here anymore.

Even for the annual festival, no one came.

Now that Qu Qingfeng and the others saw the red ribbon tied to the tree, in fact, more than ten years have passed.

After Ye Zhiyuan finished speaking, she sighed very sadly.

Qu Qingfeng turned his head and glanced at her, not knowing how to comfort the girl.

It was clearly the sun at seven or eight o'clock, just at the time of youth, but Qu Qingfeng saw a kind of twilight sadness from her body.

It was an inexplicable feeling.

It's the sadness of something slipping out of your hands, but you can't catch it anyway.

Qu Qingfeng stood there without saying a word, watching the old locust tree with the girl.

The breeze blows gently, bringing green thoughts and red thoughts.

"Sorry, Daoist, let's go!"

After a long time, the girl turned her head, smiled with tears in her eyes, and said to Qu Qingfeng.

The young man nodded, glanced at the old locust tree, and then looked away.

The two continued to walk forward, seeing a desolate scene full of weeds.

Maybe it was because memories just came back, along the way, the girl walked forward silently without saying a word.

The boy didn't say much, he just followed the girl silently.

Before they knew it, the two of them had walked around half of the village and came to a house with a white cloth hanging on it.

Qu Qingfeng raised his head and looked up. On the plaque at the gate, there were two words, Kang family, written in flying and phoenix dances.

The entire Kang family can be said to be the most luxurious and imposing building among the many buildings in the village.

From the outside, the whole building looks antique.

Although the building materials are all reinforced concrete, it obviously retains more antique flavor.

As far as the gate is concerned, the design method of Guangliang gate is adopted.

The Guangliang gate had a high rank in ancient times, and the owner who lived inside must have been an official in the court, and the rank would not be low.

The entire gate is wider than the houses on both sides. It has its own gable wall, the roof is raised, and the capital wall protrudes. The gate is relatively wide and bright, with a high platform.

Judging from the design of this gate alone, the Kang family has made a lot of money by using college students in the past few years.

Otherwise, it would be impossible to build such a luxurious villa.

It's just that the money obtained by speculation will not last long after all.

Although the entire gate looks very luxurious, the paint has fallen off in many places on the gate.

The doorknob of the gate has begun to rust. Obviously, it has been a long time and no one has come to maintain it.

And now there is a white cloth hanging on the gate, and there are even white lanterns hanging in front of the gate, which adds a sense of desolation to the gate.

"Master Dao, the person I'm talking about is here, shall we go in and have a look?"

A look of fear appeared on Ye Zhiyuan's face, she pointed at the door next to her with her hand shrunk, and whispered to Qu Qingfeng.

The boy didn't speak, but nodded, agreeing to the girl's suggestion.

Seeing the Taoist priest nodding in agreement, the scared look on the girl's face intensified a bit.

Both feet also began to tremble/tremble slightly involuntarily.

Qu Qingfeng, who discovered this abnormality, asked the girl to wait here first, and he went in to have a look by himself.

"No, Daoist!"

As soon as Qu Qingfeng said that she wanted to go in and have a look by herself, the girl immediately shook her head like a rattle, she even forgot and was afraid for a while.

"When I saw that person before, that person's face was already pale, and his fingernails seemed to have grown a little..."

When he said this, Ye Zhiyuan's body trembled uncontrollably, and his voice began to tremble a little.

It seems that the scene she saw before had a great impact on the girl.
