Prose ｜ Chang Longyun: Go to see a tree

Text/Changlongyun

Sitting alone, he traveled to the eight wasteland. Suddenly, the turbulent jujube trees in Qinglong Lake Wetland Park did not know how to grow. So, I moved to the idea of ​​Gu Gu, left the miscellaneous work, and went out to walk through the cycling trail.

In April of the late spring, the flowers retreated to red, the new green Lijing, clearing people. The peaches, Li, plum, loquat, etc., the green fruit is as small as a bird's egg, and it falls full of branches. The birds jumped up and down, leading their necks, calling friends and friends. I said in my heart that the fruit is still early.

When I went to winter, my wife traveled to the garden, and I found the turbulent jujube tree. At first glance, I seemed to have known each other, but I couldn't remember where I saw it. On the lawn of the lake, a bunch of new soils were turned out, and the trees were located in the middle of the soil, and soon from elsewhere. The tree is more than ten meters high, highlighting the forest watch, and the chicken group, the shape is not elegant.

The dark tree is as thick as a small pot. The person is high and the person is two, each with one branch, a strong one, a strong and weak, and the branches are sparse and small leaves. The park has been moved to many big trees, ginkgo, camphor, willow, hi tree, Luan tree, etc., hanging nutrients, helping them grow, obliquely supporting wood, and windproof. Only this tree, neither nutritional bottle nor supporting wood, is natural for life and death.

I look at this tree and is rare. I searched for a long time in my mind, and finally remembered: I turned the jujube tree.

As a child, there were many fruit trees in the front and house of my house, green clouds around the house, and the flowers and fruits were fragrant. Among them, there is a jujube tree that grows on the ground dam. Chunhua Qiu Shi, all the fruits are round and burning, but they are weird to turn jujube. However, there is a type of animal that is particularly favored. It is not waiting for maturity, so that no one can eat mature dates.

This animal has a black and white face, a thick long tail. We call it a tree surrounding and the scientific name of the noodle. The trees are night passengers. During the day, there are Volvan acupoints and tree caves. After the twilight fell, Jinyi went to the night to find food everywhere. I have encountered it with Shuwei. In the evening, a tree surrounded by remembers the jujube heart, and came out too early. It climbed on the jujube tree to steal food, and the ghost face was exposed from the branches and leaves, scaring me to yell. It was frightened by me, and the trees were under the trees, fled tightly, and disappeared into the night.

The house next door was expanded, and several fruit trees were cut, including the turbulent jujube tree. Not only the tree, but also my childhood memory. Goodbye to the jujube tree, it has been more than thirty years later, the years are urged to the old age, and people are middle -aged.

That winter, I went to Daba Mountain to interview a tougue worker. Shuo Feng hunt, yellow leaves are flying, and the mountains are cold. Next to the hillside farmers, I saw the long -lost jujube tree, the leaves were exhausted, and the strange fruits were covered. It evokes my childhood memory and feels kindly born. I climbed the trees and picked jujube to taste the taste of childhood.

Suddenly listening to the squeak of the farmer's door, and walked out of a peasant woman with a gray and flower scarf. Oops, they would be scolded without saying hello to the host. Scolded and scolded, prepare to apologize. Sure enough, she heard her loudly that now it tastes bad, astringent, Mo Duo picks it, it is a pity.

I hurriedly agreed and blame her in my heart. She continued, after the frost, you can pick it up again, the taste is good, sweet as honey. Oh, so, I blame her wrong, so I know that the dates are sweet.

Since then, I have never seen the dates again.

Since I found a jujube tree in the park, I traveled more than ten square kilometers of parks. I saw only this tree. I don't know where to move from. The big trees moved into the park, because it is difficult to toss, the soil and water are inconsistent, and there are many deaths. Whenever I see the dead trees stand, I lamented it, uncomfortable for the big tree for the victims. Can I survive the jujube trees and toss? Can you adapt to the survival of the climate of different native soil?

Bicycles, I saw the turbulent jujube tree. Fortunately, in this strange environment, it survived stubbornly and lived well. With a new green, the depression and decadent when the winter moved in the winter, and the manifestation was more elegant.

I set up a bicycle, stepped on the thick clover, and came to the jujube tree. The thick shade is shocking, and the people are cool. Looking up at the branches and leaves, there were countless umbrella -shaped tender handles in the top or axillary, and the tender handle raised a cluster of fine buds.

I turned on my phone and wanted to know more about this strange tree. Turn the jujube, the scientific name is 果 实, and the fruit is like a "卍", such as chicken feet, so it is also known as Wanshouguo, Wanzi Pear, Honey Claw, etc., one of the ancient fruit trees on the earth. "The Book of Songs · Xiaoya Nanshan has a platform": "There are wolfs in Nanshan, there are northern mountains. The gentleman is not yellow. , Blessing its descendants, auspicious fruit. There are many documents such as "Compendium of Materia Medica", "Lu Shu", and "Lao Lao Heng Words", and there are also records. Fruits, medicinal, hangover, rheumatism, lowering blood pressure, constipation, quenching thirst, etc.; folk also brewed jujube wine, agar and jade liquid, flowing incense so far.

Born stunner, the benefits are difficult to describe, what did I miss again and again?

Really, when I did n’t know the dates, I was stolen by the trees; now I know the honey claws, and I will say that the frost people are old. Thinking of the ghost face of Shuweizi, I wonder if there is in the park? The squirrel that looks like a tree around has encountered many times. The birds who came to Xiangxiang, I can't help but prefer this natural food. Is a tree bursting jujube enough for everyone to eat? In any case, when the frost turns the sweet jujube, I must come to taste and enjoy the birds and beasts.

I want to be happy, singing and chanting: "The park has wolfs, a gentleman, no yellow cricket, Bao Ail."
