The Fairy Tree 4

The human world is so sad. The tree demon boy sat alone among the branches of the tree, his heart disappointed, but then thought, if the world is without her, how to become what it is. So he just laughed, smiling desolately. The only little demon power is sent in the red rope tied to the branch, to keep it as fresh as ever, to protect it from the frost of the years. *** Because of the cohesion of the demon power, the red rope around the scattered faint light, not too visible in the daytime, after the night is only slightly obvious, no one noticed. However, there are no lanterns and candles around the broken walls, for the teenager, only this red halo is the only light in this boundless darkness. The teenager did not think, it is this red light, and support him to wait longer, longer. At that time coincided with a group of displaced people, gathered in this dilapidated courtyard for the night. The wind and frost cold at night, the people in need of warming method, they can not see the tree demon boy's appearance, do not know that there is a spirit here, they hit the idea of the camphor tree, want to cut it to chop wood for the fire. Soon the crowd to find a half-old axe, is about to cut the tree, the axe man sharp eyes, saw the red rope tied to the branch, and the faint light attached to it. "This is the divine tree to protect the marriage, can not cut ah." The man threw the axe, shivering. "I'm afraid I'll be condemned by heaven if I cut it down." The time is chaotic, people are afraid, all kinds of false ghosts and gods of the four directions, do not know what this man is mixed up in the delusion of gossip, the so-called divine origin of the tree to say the head, the others listened to are quite convinced, do not dare to move to cut the tree, but to guard the tree to worship prayers. The tree demon boy sat on the tree, silently watching these mortal actions, after a long time before raising his eyes to look at the red rope, the heart turned up a mournful. Even after so many years, it is still you who is protecting me. Obviously I came here because of you, but now, where have you gone? The people under the tree are still bowing and kowtowing, asking for the blessing of the immortal spirits, with the hope of a better future; while the young man on the tree is carefree, full of despair, crying in the night when no one knows. It is said that the creation of man is like this. *** After several years, the ups and downs of the world slowly calmed down, the city regained its vitality, the damaged houses were repaired, the cold streets gradually became popular and became crowded and noisy. For this camphor tree, the situation is also different from the past. The rumors about it being a divine tree for marriage did not stop, but became more and more widespread, and more and more people were convinced. I don't know who first proposed to tie a red rope on the tree to get the tree fairy's blessing for marriage, but after the first believer did so, there was soon a second, a third, and countless others after that. Mortals will be their own good expectations of marriage, are pinned on that a red rope, some people also think that only the red rope is too simple, and added on top of the words written on the prayer wooden plaque and decorative red satin tassels, a tree full of hanging up, every time the wind is moving, is full of bright red fluttering and dancing, a special colorful style. Against this, it is the first section of the red rope tied to look more and more inconspicuous. The tree demon boy hid between the trees watching all this, there are a few funny, there are also a few speechless.
