Chapter 17: Peach Blossom Spring

Xiaomei thought for a while and said, "Monster? Forget it, some people think I'm a god, and some people think I'm a monster. ”

She chuckled and said, "If you are good to him, he will say that you are a god, and if you are bad to him, he will say that you are a monster." There is not much difference between gods and monsters, but people's opinions are different. ”

Erhei has already put on his pants, and he understands some of Xiaomei's words, but he doesn't understand them very well. But he felt that her eyes should not look malicious.

He sat down on a stone opposite the little sister and said, "Tell me about it, maybe I'll believe it." ”

The little sister sighed and said, "I don't know if you have heard of the place 'Peach Blossom Spring'?" ”

"Yes, we have several peach gardens in Yunzhong County."

Xiaomei shook her head and said, "It's not the 'peach garden' you often say, but ......"

She thought for a moment and said, "Let me tell you this, 'In Jin Taiyuan, the people of Wuling fish for business. Walk around the river, forget the distance of the road. Suddenly, the peach blossom forest, hundreds of steps between the shore, there are no miscellaneous trees in it, the fragrant grass is delicious, and the fallen flowers are colorful. The fisherman is very different. Moving forward, I want to exhaust the forest ......'. Can you understand me when I say that? I'm talking about: the peach blossom paradise of 'paradise'. ”

Erhei's eyes widened and asked, "Are you talking about "The Story of Peach Blossom Spring"?" The 'Peach Blossom Spring' mentioned in "The Story of the Peach Blossom Spring"? Is there really a peach blossom paradise in the world? ”

The little sister suddenly looked at him in surprise, with a smile on her face: "Heh, I didn't see it, you kid actually knows "The Story of the Peach Blossom Spring"!" ”

"What's so strange about that? Do I look a lot like a person who doesn't learn anything? ”

The little sister smiled slightly, nodded and said, "That's right, it's that peach blossom spring." But on our side, it's not called that. In fact, it doesn't have a name at all, and the name 'Peach Blossom Spring' was also given to it by people outside. ”

Her eyes suddenly became a little dazed: "Even everyone in the Peach Blossom Garden has no name, and we are like a batch of products on the production line, all of which only have numbers." ”

"Only numbered?" Erhei looked at her suspiciously.

"That's right, it's only numbered, and my number is 123." Xiaomei said.

"So, you're really not Li Lao Wu's daughter?" Erhei almost jumped up from the stone.

"Not really." Xiaomei said: "I checked your information when I came, and I knew that your father was close to this Li Lao Wu when he was in the cottage, so he said that he was his daughter." Otherwise, how would you be willing to come with me? As I said, we've been looking for someone who is very important to Peach Blossom Garden. ”

Erhei nodded knowingly.

"So, there are no relics left by grandpa?"

Xiaomei smiled: "That's all lying to you." ”

Erhei is not a fool, after experiencing so many things, he naturally guessed something, so he asked her: "Do you think I am that person?" ”

The little sister nodded silently, but did not speak. She didn't speak, but Erhei understood everything.

"Then how are you sure I'm the one you're looking for?" Erhei said: "You also said it just now, even you don't know who you are looking for. ”

The little sister raised the big-eyed white monster in her hand and said, "It will have a sense of this person." But it can't leave the Peach Blossom Land for too long, that's why I'm bringing you here. ”

“…… Over here? Erhei pointed to the strange painting on the stone wall. Then this is ......"

"This is the entrance to the Peach Blossom Garden."

"Entrance? ...... from here Enter the Peach Blossom Garden? ”

Sure enough, it's a painted wall!

The Wuling River trail into the secluded place, there are chickens and dogs Qin people.

Who was the one who saw it first? The source water is now flowing and the peach is re-blooming.

Erhei was surprised, he always thought that the one qiē mentioned in "The Story of the Peach Blossom Spring" was just a fictional story. Didn't think of ......

"Are you really going to the Peach Blossom Paradise because you are hiding from the war?" Erhei asked.

The corners of the little sister's mouth curled slightly, but she didn't speak.

"Well, this thing is ......" Erhei looked at the big-eyed white monster and still had palpitations, and his body leaned back slightly, sitting there in an extremely unbalanced position.

"What are you afraid of? It's not a monster. ”

After the little sister finished speaking, she put the weird-looking thing on the palm of her hand, looked up and said to Erhei, "Don't believe it, you see." ”

She turned the thing over and over to Erhei.

"It'...... Really not a youkai? Erhei was far away, and he looked at it carefully.

"You...... Isn't it a youkai either? He still looked at her with trepidation.

Xiaomei suddenly laughed out loud: "Do you really think I'm a monster?" ”

After saying that, she nodded knowingly and said, "Yes, with your current wisdom, some things are indeed difficult to understand. A thousand years ago, flying to the sky was a myth, five hundred years ago, the moon was a myth, and until now, immortality is still a myth. ”

"Immortality?" Erhei's eyes lit up: "You can live forever?" Could it be that everyone in the Peach Blossom Land can live forever? ”

The little sister looked at him silently and didn't say a word.

She never knew about birth, old age, sickness and death, so she didn't understand Erhei's surprise. It's as if a rich man, accustomed to spending a lot of money, can never understand the pain of a penniless poor.

Erhei suddenly sighed and said as if he had been pardoned: "Although I don't quite understand what you mean, I think you shouldn't lie to me." ”

Xiaomei looked at him strangely: "Do you believe what I say?" ”

"Why don't you believe it?" Erhei smiled: "What reason do you have to make up so many stories to deceive me, a poor peasant who is useless?" ”

He looked at his little sister for a moment and asked, "Is it really a paradise where you are?" ”

Xiaomei shrugged her shoulders: "Everyone's definition of paradise is different. Let's see what happens. ”

"So, you ...... Why look for that person? ”

"I don't know, I'm only responsible for completing the task."

Erhei suddenly remembered the words that the two of them had said while sitting on the side of the road the night they passed through the village of the dead:

"Thank you."

"Thank me for what?"

"Thank you for caring about me."

"Me, do I seem to care about you?"

"Isn't it?"

"You think too much, I don't care about you, I just want to do my best to complete the task."

……

At that time, Erhei didn't quite understand why Xiaomei said this, but now, he finally understood.

Erhei looked at the little sister in surprise, this person, he only knows how to complete the task? Didn't she have the slightest curiosity? Who gave her this task? What is the purpose of looking for the person who "doesn't know who"?
