Chapter 1 Reminiscing about the past under the peach blossom tree
The smell of miscanthus still fills the air. There were sporadic crackling sounds in the distance. The girls gathered next to the charcoal basin and watched the New Year together.
There are peanuts and sweet potatoes next to the charcoal fire. The girls stirred the charcoal fire for a while, and turned over the roasted peanuts for a while, and everyone laughed.
After sitting for a long time, Qinmei was a little tired, so the girls took care of Qinmei and rested.
Haotian sat diagonally in the peach tree.
While humming Qin Mei's new work "Shaoguang Change", he swayed his feet, looking leisurely and complacent, so uncomfortable.
Seeing Qin Mei looking at him, he turned his head and looked at Qin Mei with a smile.
"Long time no see!"
Seeing this scene, Qin Mei knew that this was Haotian's dream.
"Well, long time no see. Qin Mei frowned slightly, a little puzzled, "What is the situation, why is it just a bare tree?"
Haotian sat on a tree...... The tree is bare, not to mention the leaves, not even the branches.
"Tut-tut......" Haotian jumped down from the tree, walked towards Qinmei, shook his head, and said with a wry smile: "It seems that I really raised you! ”
"Why!" Qin Mei said angrily: "I'm just curious, this is not your style!"
Haotian covered his chest with a slight exaggeration: "It turns out that the girl doesn't know Xiaosheng's good intentions...... Xiaosheng is really ...... It's so sad!" he said, glancing at Qin Mei.
"Don't make trouble!" Qin Mei slapped him on the shoulder: "You came just in time, I have a lot of things to ask you, you ......"
"Shhhh
"We still have time. As he spoke, he took his finger off Qin Mei's lips, pointed to the bare peach tree, and said briskly, "Look!"
I don't know where a few swallows flew. They flew around the peach tree a few times, standing on the branches and singing. Singing and singing, the warm breeze came, singing and singing, and the peach tree seemed to get a little bigger.
On the peach tree, which was originally a little bald, small green buds grew, and the tender small shoots stretched out little by little, and pieces of tender green leaves appeared on the branches and trunks.
Then, small pink buds came out from the edge of the leaves with the wind, a little fuller, the pink flower bones became more and more translucent, and in an instant, the forbidden fragrance bloomed unguardedly.
One, two, one, two...... In the blink of an eye, the peach blossoms of the tree bloomed in front of him, which amazed Qinmei.
The breeze continued to blow. The peach blossoms bloom, the peach blossoms fall, the green leaves are born, the green leaves are numerous, and the fluffy little peaches are hung on the trees. The leaves rustle and sway gently in the wind, and this little peach looks like it grows.
Just turning a page of the book, a bare tree is lush and full of fresh peaches.
Haotian walked to the edge of the tree with a smile, picked a peach, and handed it to Qin Mei: "Your favorite before." ”
Qin Mei took the peach handed by Haotian, a little puzzled, and was about to ask, when she heard Haotian touch the trunk of the peach tree, and said to her: "You used to like to eat peaches the most!"
"You say, 'What's so beautiful about peach blossoms, of course peaches are delicious!'" Haotian laughed when he remembered the past. "I wondered if you were a fox or a monkey!"
Qin Mei laughed too, although she didn't remember it at all. However, in this case, it is indeed her style.
Looking at the peach in his hand, he suddenly remembered the dream that Chen Xiaotian told her about himself before, dreaming that he was a fox.
"Haotian," Qin Mei asked, "Chen Xiaotian said that he dreamed of a fox holding a peach, and said that the fox's eyes are almost the same as mine, why is that?"
"Oh, this" Haotian flicked his sleeves, conjured up a set of tables and chairs, beckoned Qin Mei to sit down, and took the peach in Qin Mei's hand and carefully wiped it with his sleeve.
"He's right, that's the first time you've seen it three hundred years ago. ”
After wiping the peaches, Haotian handed the peaches to Qin Mei: "Come, you eat slowly, I'll tell you." ”
On the mountain where Qinmei cultivates, there is a peach forest. Every time the peaches are ripe, Qin Mei likes to nest in the peach forest, and the peaches in the forest will eventually fall into her belly.
When she first discovered the peach forest, Qin Mei couldn't transform yet, she could only look at the red and gorgeous peaches, jumping around in a hurry. Then, every time, Haotian helped her take it off and put it in her arms, so that she could happily hold it and eat it.
In the past few hundred years, Haotian has also developed a habit, and every time this time, he will go to pick peaches for Qinmei.
Even if Qinmei succeeds in transforming and can do it himself, Haotian has not left this "job" behind. After all, more often than not, Qin Mei still likes herself in the form of a fox.
For him, pampering Qinmei is as natural as eating and drinking.
So, for countless summers, under the pampering of Haotian, Qinmei will live a "pig" life like a "pig" who wakes up every day and eats and sleeps.
At noon one day, Haotian had just helped Qinmei pick a big peach, and suddenly someone came to report, saying that the official business was urgent, Haotian had to hand the peach to Qinmei, and then turned around and went back to deal with things.
Qin Mei was holding the peaches given by Haotian, reluctant to swallow them alone, planning to wait for Haotian to come back and share them together.
At this time, the sun was warm and the wind was gentle, and she was a little sleepy, so she fell asleep on the peach tree with her peach in her arms.
Besides, Chen Tian, he was going up the mountain to chop wood, but he chased a rabbit on the road and got lost, and somehow, he walked to the edge of the peach forest.
At that time, he was thirsty, hungry and tired, and when he saw the peach forest, he was overjoyed, thinking that he could rest his feet with food and drink, so he broke in.
This is their first sight.
As for why Chen Xiaotian dreamed, Haotian couldn't say clearly, so he could only guess that it was because of the induction between souls.
"No, didn't you tell me back then that it was because I saved his life, what did it have to do with this peach?"
"That's right, he went back in a daze after seeing you, but he always remembered you!" Haotian nodded and said, "So he came to you again!"
"Huh?" this time Qin Mei understood, "You mean that he came to me specifically later, but fell off the cliff?"
Haotian looked at Qin Mei with a "teachable" expression and nodded.
The wind is still blowing, and the peeky sweetness of peaches fills the air.
"I have something to tell you. After talking about the dream and the peach, Haotian paused, looked at Qin Mei, and his expression became a little serious.
"What's wrong?" Qin Mei put down the peach in her hand, looked at Haotian's expression, and became nervous.
"I've been looking for a lot all this time. Ask my father, check ancient books, ask others, and finally make progress!"
Haotian stood up, walked under the peach tree, looked at the peaches on the tree, and didn't know how to say the next words. After much hesitation, he spoke:
"I know how to return to the soul. ”
