"This is the magical place you mentioned?”Annie is sexy. Feeling small. His mouth was now in an "O" shape as he said in disbelief.
At this moment, in front of her and Zhuo Mingcheng was an old locust tree. The mottled bark, the crisscrossing branches, and the trunk that could only be carried by two people, all of them indicated that this was a tree with a story…uh, an old tree.
If one had to say what was different, it was probably that there was a red cloth tied to the dense branch, fluttering gently in the wind.
Annie's emotions were extremely complicated. She felt that all her worries just now had been fed to the dogs. She was originally afraid that Zhuo Mingcheng would have ulterior motives and force her to go to a secret room, basement, small hotel, or some other strange place. She did not expect to come to an old locust tree.
She felt that her brain must be damaged. She didn't sleep at two o'clock in the morning and came to look at the tree with a man. How addicted was she? What grudge do I have with you?
"Don't underestimate it. It's said that it has been here since the Kangxi era. It's been more than 300 years since then and has seen countless people and things.”Zhuo Mingcheng deliberately didn't look at Annie's complicated expression as he spoke confidently.
"When you say that it's magical…you don't mean that this tree can live for a long time, do you?”Annie said tactfully.
"Of course not."
Annie heaved a sigh of relief. If Zhuo Mingcheng had answered " yes," she swore that she would have turned around and left, never to contact him again…
"In Chinese culture, the locust tree has a unique status. Some people regard the locust tree as a symbol of God. For example, some supernatural novels have mentioned that the locust tree often produces intelligence and fights against ghosts, becoming their nemesis. For example, right now, the Yin Qi was at its peak after midnight, but you didn't have to worry when you were standing here.”
" Eh…" Annie subconsciously hugged her chest. It was so late at night that Zhuo Mingcheng felt a little uneasy. He didn't feel anything earlier, but now that he looked around, it wasn't a chilly wind.
It was originally a normal action, but what was overlooked was that…by doing so, it only accentuated the arrogance on her upper body. The Ministry of Man. He squeezed out a deep line.
Zhuo Mingcheng shifted his gaze away without batting an eyelid, muttering in his heart,""At the same time, the locust tree was also synonymous with ancient official positions and a symbol of good omen. Many scholars would pay their respects to the pagoda tree before entering the capital for the examination, hoping to seek good luck and auspicious signs.”
The people of Hong Kong were still in awe of the gods and ghosts. Not only did societies have to worship Guan Erye when they opened incense halls, but even businesses had to worship Guan Erye. Even the police station had a statue of Guan Erye. Fengshui and the Book of Changes were also very popular.
After Annie heard this, she quickly put her palms together and bowed in front of the old locust tree. She didn't care if Zhuo Mingcheng was telling the truth or not, she just wanted peace of mind and good luck.
"Then these red cloths were tied by those scholars back then?”Annie asked curiously. She never expected that she would really become curious about a tree in the middle of the night…
"Not all of them. Many of them are tied by modern couples. The locust tree is like an elder and will bless the future generations. Therefore, some couples used this to prove their oath of eternal love and wanted to obtain the protection of the gods.”Zhuo Mingcheng said with a smile.
En, elder, live…
Annie's face turned slightly red and she hesitated." Between lovers? Wasn't that a wishing tree? Why did he bring me here?
The Soul Man's originally fair skin was now only slightly red, but it was already very obvious. It was like a red apple, making people want to bite it.
She stole a glance at Zhuo Mingcheng and was surprised to find that he was looking up at the branches above his head.
"What are you doing?"
"Ah, I found it." Zhuo Mingcheng suddenly smiled and jumped up. He grabbed a red string from the bottom and handed it to Annie with a smile." For example, this.”
" This is..." Annie hesitated as she took the red cloth. She noticed that there were three small words written on it-" I'm sorry."
"Childish. Hmph, at least you have some sincerity.”Annie curled her lips in disdain, but she didn't show any disdain as she stuffed the red cloth into her bag.
Zhuo Mingcheng looked at his watch.”
"Ah?"
"Old people often say that if you are still outside at 2:30 in the morning, something good will happen.”Zhuo Mingcheng was mysterious. He said.
Annie's expression suddenly became very strange." Didn't they say that something bad will happen if you don't go home at 2:30 in the morning?"”
Zhuo Mingcheng was stunned. He didn't expect Annie to still be willing to come with him after knowing this. Thinking of this, his gaze became gentler.
"If it was somewhere else, of course, it would be a bad thing. But we are under the locust tree. There will be auspicious signs.”He walked to the locust tree and gently patted the trunk twice.
"Nonsense." Annie tied up her loose hair and rolled her eyes. Little did she know that after she did it, it looked like wind. There were thousands of emotions.
Zhuo Mingcheng looked at the scene in front of him with admiration. In his previous life, there was no such temperament. They all had the same internet celebrity face. There were thousands of good-looking skins, but not one in ten thousand interesting souls.
"If you're done, I'm going home.”Annie waited for Zhuo Mingcheng to finish appreciating the dish and said.
"Look, good luck has come." Zhuo Mingcheng bent down and searched through the tree hole behind the locust tree. In the next second, he took out a handful of delicacies. A beautiful red rose.
"This is for you."
Annie covered her small. After a short moment of shock, he took it.
"You like red very much?" Zhuo Mingcheng leaned forward slightly and said in a low voice.
Feeling the heat in front of her eyes, Annie finally recovered after a brief moment of panic. She smiled faintly and said,""I'm not a little girl. You can charm me with just a bunch of flowers. Upside-down?"
Zhuo Mingcheng didn't answer. He continued to smile."You haven't answered me yet. Do you like red very much?”
Annie looked at him blankly for a while, then replied with a soft " hmm " and added,"
"I like white too."
"As long as you like white." Zhuo Mingcheng suddenly heaved a sigh of relief. With a shake of his sleeve, another white rose appeared. She carefully inserted it into the middle of the bouquet of red roses. Thousands of bright red flowers surrounded a touch of pure white.
"This is much better."
Annie's experienced heart rippled after being touched by Zhuo Mingcheng's casual words.
