348. Once Upon a Time in the Valley

……

Half a month has passed.

Fang Lingjun worked tirelessly behind the old woman every day, even if she didn't speak, she must let her old man see her sincerity.

Under Fang Lingjun's kraft candy-like offensive, the relationship between the two has finally made some progress, at least the old man will no longer bombard her for no reason, but that's all, if he wants to get something out of the old man's mouth, he still can't.

This continued until one day half a year later......

On this day, Fang Lingjun and Hua Rong's baby master and servant came to Peach Blossom Creek as promised, but they waited for most of the day, but the old man did not appear for a long time?

Fang Lingjun had doubts in his heart, one of the things that the old man had to do every day was to go to the Peach Blossom Creek in the back mountain to water the Huangguo tree, and he had never been absent for a day......

Based on Fang Lingjun's observation of the old man for more than half a year, the expression of the other party when he held the peach blossom was unprecedentedly happy, thinking about it, whether it was the yellow peach blossom or the small paper boat, it meant great to her, so it was even more impossible to be absent for no reason...... The only explanation is that something happened that made the old man unable to get out, or was there an accident?!

Fang Lingjun was taken aback by her own judgment, she jumped up from the boulder by the stream, and hurriedly said, "Follow me!" ”

After speaking, he ignored the stunned feelings of Hua Rong Baobao and Xiaobao, and led the way directly in front and rushed out of the valley.

"Childe......" Xiaobao asked with a look in his eyes.

Hua Rong baby frowned slightly: "Go with her and see what tricks she plays~!" ”

Hearing this, Xiaobao had a bitter face, but he couldn't. can only follow Hua Rong baby. Fell behind Fang Lingjun. It's just that when I think of the roast chicken I have eaten in the past six months...... He took a step back unguardedly, wanting to stay away from Fang Lingjun, but unfortunately, under the signal of Hua Rongbao's sharp eyes, he had to speed up his pace and heroically sandwiched between Hua Rong and Fang Lingjun. Use baby Hua Rong as a shield......

It is said that if you want to capture a person's heart, you must first grab his stomach. Fang Lingjun interpreted this sentence very perfectly, through the unremitting efforts of Guò in the past half a year, she finally conquered the best master and servant of Hua Rong Baobao with the "well-made" Fang's roast chicken, and firmly grasped their stomachs, so that as soon as they saw themselves, they no longer had the slightest appetite, and they could only fear in their hearts, this trick was more powerful than any martial arts!

Hua Rong Baobao and Xiao Bao fell far behind Fang Lingjun. After Fang Lingjun returned to the valley, he hurried towards the old woman's residence.

When she pushed open the door of the old man's room. Sure enough, when I saw the old man lying on the ground, he couldn't stop trembling, and his face was very painful.

Fang Lingjun hurriedly probed his divine sense into the other party's body, but was surprised to find that the spiritual power that was floating on the surface of the other party's body was actually corroding the old man's flesh and blood?!!!

No wonder the old man looks so weak, the original path is that this spiritual power in her body has been hurting her?!

"Mother-in-law, don't be afraid, I'll help you hold back......" Fang Lingjun put his hand on the other party's wrist, intending to use his divine sense to induce the trace of spiritual power in the other party's body into his body.

After all, she is a monk, and her body can accept the wandering of spiritual power, but the other party is different, but she is an ordinary person who has never practiced any exercises, and her body can't withstand the chaos of spiritual power at all.

However, to Fang Lingjun's surprise, it was the old woman who pressed Fang Lingjun's hand to death, although she was now miserable and sweating profusely, but her firm eyes told Fang Lingjun that she was not allowed to touch the trace of spiritual power on her body......

After Hua Rong's baby arrived, he happened to see this scene, and laughed at Fang Lingjun for being nosy.

Fang Lingjun gritted his teeth, and finally withdrew his hand.

It's not because she complains about the old man's ignorance, but because she can read the feelings in the old man's eyes, which is a deep attachment, as if the spiritual power that is torturing her at this time is the only attachment she lives in this world!

Fang Lingjun's heart was shaken, although she didn't know why the old man had such a feeling, but she chose to respect the other party.

After about half an hour, the old man slowly stopped twitching, and the expression on his face was not so painful, but the ground where she was lying just now was wet with her sweat...... It was enough to see how terrible the pain was just now, Fang Lingjun couldn't imagine how a mortal could get through? Presumably, the other party has endured such pain many times in the past 10,000 years, right?!

After the old man came over, he stared at Fang Lingjun quietly for a long time, and finally said, "You come with me." ”

Fang Lingjun was still stunned, but the old man had already turned around and walked out of the house, and after reacting, Fang Lingjun rushed out of the house excitedly and hurriedly caught up with the old man.

Back Mountain Peach Blossom Valley.

The old man stood by the stream, looking into the distance, following the stream, watching the small paper boat full of yellow petals far away.

After a long time, the old man turned around and sighed.

"Mother-in-law......" After what happened just now, the estrangement between the two had disappeared, and seeing the old man so sad, Fang Lingjun couldn't help but open his voice.

The old man turned his head and said lightly, "Don't you want to know about the relationship between my old woman and the outsider?" ”

"Mother-in-law is willing to sue me?" Fang Lingjun said in surprise.

Hearing this, Hua Rong and Xiaobao, who were hiding behind the stone, also probed their heads and poured out their heads.

The old man took a deep breath and nodded.

"A long, long time ago, like the rest of the valley, I was a young and ageless face, and ah, I was the most beautiful girl in the valley, until one day I ......," said the old man's words: "An outsider has broken into our valley, he is very different from other outsiders, he is more gentle and polite than any outsider who has broken into the valley before, and he is still a handsome young man, and many girls in the valley have secretly promised him......"

"At that time, although the Scar King had begun to deteriorate, he was not as cruel as he was later, and he did not imprison outsiders as soon as he came up, but politely treated them as guests."

The old man's eyes were full of reminiscence, and shyness suddenly appeared in his eyes: "My valley master sent me to serve this outsider, responsible for his daily diet and daily life, at that time, where have I ever seen such an extraordinary man, naturally like other girls in the valley, secretly handed over his heart...... That man was very kind to me, and the peach blossom forest in the back mountain was planted for me by his own hands...... At least, I believed it at the time...... He said that he liked the yellow peach blossoms, and only the peach blossoms that were different from the other were worthy of being folded and given to me...... But the yellow peach grows very slowly, and the other peach blossoms in the valley have been reincarnated for several seasons, but it has always been only a thumb high......"

"I know, in the valley...... There is a spring of water, which is only a handful of the palm of the hand, but it constantly provides the valley with the most fertile soil and the freshest air. I thought at the time, if I quietly scooped that handful of spring water, would this yellow peach grow up quickly and produce a beautiful yellow peach blossom? …… Actually, I wasn't looking forward to what that yellow peach blossom would look like, I just didn't want to see him frown......"

The old man said with a hint of sarcasm on his face: "The spring water was stolen by me, and I can see that when he saw this spring, his eyes burst out with unprecedented light, and for some reason, my heart became a little uneasy...... However, in order to make him happy, I poured the spring water on the peach tree without hesitation...... With the moisture of the spring water, the peach tree grows one day at a time, almost every day it rises to the height of a finger...... But at the same time, the situation in the valley has changed dramatically! ”

"The valley, which used to be spring all the time, suddenly had a change of seasons, and that terrible black storm was infinitely approaching the valley...... In the past, at least a hundred miles outside the valley, grazing, reclamation, and free movement were possible...... But overnight, they will no longer be able to live ...... The most shocking thing was that the valley owner suddenly became murderous...... In the past, although everyone was also regarded as slaves, there were no things such as leg cuffs and handcuffs on people, and Linggu would also distribute a little for everyone to eat...... I vaguely felt that this qiē was most likely related to the spring water that I had stolen...... He kept reassuring me and told me not to blame myself, and even said that he would ask the people of the valley for sins on my behalf...... How could I be willing to let him be condemned by others?! ”

"He was a well-informed and attractive man, and the valley lord liked to hear him talk about life in the outside world, so he still treated him as a guest, and I didn't need to wear a heavy anklet with him...... My admiration for him became deeper and deeper, and he said that he would take care of me for the rest of his life, and one day, he would take me out of this monotonous world to experience the wonders outside...... Actually, I'm not interested in the world he said about at all, the world he said is too complicated and difficult to understand, I just want to live with him in this peach forest...... However, as long as there is a place for him, as long as he likes it, it is the end of the world, and I am willing to go with him...... It's a pity that the good times didn't last long...... Five years later, the yellow peach tree finally grew to his requirements, began to emerge tender yellow' color buds, I and he stayed in the peach blossom forest every day, just looking forward to the moment the flowers bloomed, feeling the happiness he said...... The flowers finally bloomed, and the yellow petals were indeed beautiful, a bright yellow that I had never seen before, but there was no smile on his face, and he looked at the empty branches behind the petals, and was silent for a long time...... It wasn't until a long, long time later that I learned that what he liked was not the bright yellow petals, but the fruit after the petals withered, but unfortunately, this yellow peach tree, I have watered it all my life, and it has never produced a single fruit......"

The old man laughed to himself: "Later, he said that he was leaving here and asked me to help him...... Help him infiltrate the valley master's treasury and steal what you outsiders call storage bags......! However, he said he would take me with him and fly away together......"
