Chapter 54: The Cave Garden
A clear stream follows the winding waterway, from the vast Dongting, through the ten miles of peach forest, into the half-moon-shaped lake, hovering under an elegant bamboo and wood building.
The sound of the water is quiet, and the almost transparent peach petals float in the stream, attracting the fish in the water from time to time, bringing the crisp sound of water droplets breaking.
On the wooden corridor of Lin Xi, the girl in white sat in front of the paulownia long case, her shoulders leaned forward slightly, and with the movement of her hand, she nested a ball of hair like a flame on her side, silent.
On the left side of the paulownia long case, there is a delicate plain piano horizontally, and the strings twisted into silk shine in the sun.
"Ahh Qing Yue's voice was sent from the peach forest outside the stream, as if stirring the spring breeze passing through the forest, swirling in the air, sending a roll of fine petals to the bamboo slips spread out on the bookcase.
The thin petals stained the undried ink on the bamboo slips, shaking off an elegant seal character like a hook-like tail pen.
"Brother......" sighed lightly, as if complaining, and like joy, put the pen in his hand aside, let the peach blossoms solidify on the bamboo slips, and got up to meet the past.
The fire fox beside her was alarmed by her pace, whimpered a few times in dissatisfaction, pulled the ground with his front paws and stretched his waist, and then followed the girl's steps into the peach forest.
"Brother." Xie Wei stood under a peach tree and looked up at the person in front of him.
It's still the same ordinary appearance as when I first saw him, standing among the trees supported by flowers and shadows, and his face is dyed with fine sunlight - except when there are only the two of them, Yi Shen will never take off his upper and lower faces, so this face is more familiar to relieve worries.
It has been a full five years since he returned to Chu from Qin in that year.
In the past five years, Xie Anxiety has been raised a lot, his cheeks have been thinner, his eyebrows have gradually opened, and his big eyes have become more agile, which is similar to the "mountain ghost" Xiao in the painting of Yishen back then.
But compared with girls of the same age, Xie Wu's body still seems to be a little petite.
Yi Shen glanced at her, and a few traces of worry flashed in his eyes.
In order to be able to show her daughter's appearance later, she has been taking dansha all year round since she returned to Hutai, and she has successfully maintained her appearance at the age of thirteen or fourteen, and she has not grown up for a long time.
Although it is recorded in those scattered medicine scriptures that Dansha can pass through the gods for a long time and is not old, he doesn't feel how good the current situation is, but her body is easily tired, and she can't even stick to the routine visits, so she can only stay in the small building on the shore of Dongting Lake every day to record the medicinal properties to pass the time.
She is less than fifteen years old, and the consequences of this will be unimaginable.
"Brother......?" Xie Wu waited for a long time and didn't see him speak, his eyes flashed, and he smiled lightly, "What is my brother thinking?" ”
"Doctor Girl!" After the scorching peach blossoms, another person turned out, dressed in a bright scarlet robe, and lit a bonfire in the forest.
Xie Wei smiled, "Jian Ji rarely visits, how can Hongyan have books?" ”
Jian Ji frowned slightly, she stayed in Chu for five years, and the drama even said at the beginning that if she couldn't dissuade Yue Zhi, she would never return to Chu Land, and it would be a full five years.
She hadn't seen her for five years, and the familiar figure was about to fade in front of her eyes, except for the occasional letter sent to her hand, she had almost forgotten the experience she had in Qindi.
"Yes, yes." Jian Ji brushed the peach blossoms stained on her sideburns, and then swept her eyebrows and chuckled, "The company will return, either at the end of the year, or in the spring of next year." ”
Xie Wei saw a trace of solemnity in her smile, and saw that the doctor Shen also implied worry, and suddenly guessed the content of the letter: "Xiang Litu is a giant after all, is it?" ”
Xiangli Tu......
This name has become clear little by little in the past five years, just like someone using the carving knife of time to cut off the redundant image of Xiang Litu in his mind, leaving only the most essential things of his person.
The silent young man who stood behind Yue Zhiyu, the swordsman who stabbed the sword in front of her in the dark night, the puppet of Qin Mo, the chief minister of Yue Zhi's support, after peeling off his taciturn appearance, the coldness and ruthlessness inside this person made him feel frightened.
Everyone knew that he was a puppet of Yue Zhiyu, but no one expected that he was a puppet with his own deeds.
Just like the wooden armor man made by Gong Qiao, when she was silent, everyone praised her lifelikeness, but if she really moved one day, I was afraid that everyone would be terrified - although Gong Qiao also dreamed that the wooden armor man who seemed to solve his worries would take action.
Everyone expected that the puppet would not move, but he did.
Although he still didn't get rid of the silk plays in his hands, his move made him so tired that Julian and Xiangfuling made all mistakes and retreated.
When the dust settled, the two could only flee from Qin Land for the time being and make plans again.
"Can my brother come back safely?" Xie Wei was a little worried, she had already learned the means of Xiang Litu, if she hadn't stabbed herself with a dagger at the beginning, I was afraid that Xiang Litu would never misjudge.
"Don't worry." Yi Shen shook his head, "The position of the giant has been obtained by Qin Mo for several generations, and he is not acting effectively. Xiangfuling is a cunning man, full of wisdom, and even brave and strategic, not weak. These two people are together, fighting wits and strength, and they are not losing more than they are in harmony. ”
In the final analysis, Xiang Litu was able to ascend to the position of a giant at a weak age this time, in addition to his blockbuster and Yue Zhiyu's support, the important point is that Qin Mo has served as a giant for several generations, and under the accumulation of prestige, Julian and Xiangfu Ling can still delay this matter for five years, which is already amazing.
"I am worried about all kinds of things, lest my brother have a soft heart......" Xie sighed, she didn't believe in the ability of the drama company and Xiangfu Ling, she was just worried that the drama company would think of the sympathy with Yue Zhiyu and make a misjudgment.
Jian Ji thought for a moment and nodded slowly, "Xiangfu Ling is very human, his heart is ethereal and difficult to see, although people are like a long wind into a loose, but his heart may not be lost to the disciples who are more than others." ”
Xie Wei smiled wistfully, put away his worried look, I don't know if Xiangfu Ling knew that he had received this kind of evaluation here from Jian Ji, would there be a few cracks on Rong Erya's face?
"Is this the Glow?" Jian Ji looked at the fire fox that crashed into her eyes, and smiled brightly like a peach blossom, "Brother Ru often says, if a doctor girl is a fire fox, when I see it today, it really looks like Xiao." ”
Ying Yu ran to Xie Wei's side, rubbed on Yi Shen's body excitedly, turned his big eyes like flames, and looked at Jian Ji curiously.
"Brother is laughing." Xie Wei leaned over and struggled to hold Yingfu into her arms, her face was as white as snow due to the fur like fire, and even Jian Ji could see that something was wrong.
"Is the doctor sick ......?" Seeing that the doctor Shen shook his head secretly, Jian Ji intercepted the conversation and asked about the situation of this fox wholeheartedly, "How many years has the doctor raised this fox?" ”
