老屋旁有一块非常大的空地,租给人家种桃花心木的树苗。种桃花心木苗的是一个个子很高的人,他弯腰种树的时候,感觉就像插秧一样。树苗种下以后,他常来浇水。奇怪的是,他来得并没有规律,有时隔三天,有时隔五天,有时十几天才来一次;浇水的量也不一定,有时浇得多,有时浇得少。我每天都会在桃花心木苗旁的小路上散步,种树苗的人偶尔会来家里喝喝茶。他有时早上来,有时下午来,时间也不一定。我越来越感到奇怪。更奇怪的是,桃花心木苗有时莫名其妙地枯萎了。所以,他来的时候,总会带几株树苗来补种。 There is a very large open space next to the old house, which is rented out to people who grow mahogany trees. A mahogany seedling is a very tall man, when he bent down to grow trees, it feels like transplanting. He often came to water after the seedlings were planted. Oddly enough, he came without rules, sometimes three days apart, sometimes five days apart, and sometimes more than a dozen days. The amount of water was not always the same, sometimes more and sometimes less. I take a walk every day on the path beside mahogany seedlings, and people who plant saplings occasionally came home to drink tea. Sometimes he comes in the morning, sometimes in the afternoon, not in time. I feel more and more strange. Even more strange is that mahogany sometimes somehow withered. So, when he came, always bring a few strains of seedlings to replant.
