The top of our mountain has been cleared of vegetation again. Walking along the downhill stone steps, bougainvillea without stone steps were all cut two feet wide from the stone steps. It turned out that when we passed by, one or two long vines boldly stretched out to caress passers-by, or waved their hands far away in the wind, very happy. The road from the foot of the mountain to the top of the mountain is more tortuous than the "W". There are lush green trees between each row, such as mango, eye tree (the name I invented), guava, acacia, papaya, camellia, banyan, rubber tree, sparrow tree ... and in the middle of each big tree, it is covered with plants such as sweet potato leaves, which are dense.
The old banyan tree and the ground have several air roots that are straighter than steel bars, and they are firmly connected. Of course, there are also many small beards that rise with the wind under the tree. When cleaning up, the sweet potato leaves on the ground will be shaved off first, just like the lawn and green space in the dormitory area, and will be shaved off like after the disaster; Some branches that lean sideways and are too low, trying to own each other and cover the road, will be cut off by an enlarged pair of scissors.
Workers wear straw hats and work hard. At the end of exhaustion, there are dazzling and rude lights everywhere, and there are stiff and clumsy everywhere. The injured tree stands strangely and stiffly. The air is full of the smell of trees, just like blood after the battlefield. This is not a fight. That's what plants do. You can cut them silently, then endure the pain and grow again slowly, bit by bit according to your own mind until the next killing begins.
In a city, they square the trees. Trees can't find a way to commit suicide, otherwise no matter how long you are, they will be pruned into square trees every year and even repair you at any time. Do you think it wants to live? How brutal and humiliating a strong will can be, just look at the boundaries of our "W".
The most persecuted trees are trees in the system, such as street trees in the street, such as green trees in captivity in the unit. For example, hedges and golden banyan trees simply want to make you flat and grow as long as you want, carving whether you are a dragon or a mouse. From their free nature, life is definitely worse than death.
But some trees they can't shake. For example, they rely entirely on themselves and grow up in the wind, rain and sunshine of nature. They don't owe you a penny. In Menglin, Shandong Province, it is the cemetery of Mencius. At first glance, the ancient cypresses in Shan Ye are awe-inspiring, one after another, and they are as magnificent as iron. It is a memorial to the life of freedom, to the fearlessness beyond the Millennium, and to the dignity and pride of thousands of years. Some coopers have only the top of their heads, and their bodies are split vertically like plates, but they are still leisurely and self-contained. In front of these trees, people are shocked. What can you feel except the smallness of your body?
We even forget that they are also young trees, which is even harder to remember. They are all plants one line more than our "W", and they are all in Screaming Trees. In fact, there is a small row of cypress trees in the last row of our hill. Two people are tall, standing there, the small wind can't shake. Every tree is like a mountain peak, and birds sometimes compete. The love stand is on that mountain. However, under the skirt, it's still trimmed, like you're not wearing pants. A thousand years later, I wonder if they are still there. In a thousand years, I don't know if there are huge scissors, which are trimmed every year. I've been there, and I've studied it carefully. It's the same species as the cypress in Menglin.
I can't find what you want, I can only find this, I hope to adopt it.
