Chapter 9 Tricking Yi into eating the demon fruit
For a month, a whole month, Xu Liyin did not have any news from Bai Yaochu.
Every day, every night, looks the same lonely and sentimental.
She is the only one left in Pear Blossom Valley, even if it is spring in March, for her, it is also cold.
Cold, cold heart.
Xu Liyin sat in front of the corridor of the bamboo building all day long, looking at the pear tree in the distance in a daze, she was always looking forward to the white figure that she thought about day and night in the place not far away where she could see it with her extreme eye.
However, every time from the day, to the night, and then from the boundless night to the longer day, to see the sunset, to see the rising sun, the return she was looking forward to still did not appear.
Sometimes, she would carry his paulownia to the cloister, and as she waited, she played, playing the half of the song that she had sung to him as he was about to depart.
Over and over again, again and again, a thousand thoughts.
Where the lights flickered, she burst into tears.
Thin quilt cold clothes, lonely pillow difficult to sleep alone.
Perhaps it was the disappointment again and again that made Xu Liyin a little desperate, on this day, she was holding the paulownia muqin that had already broken a string in her hand, looking at the place she was familiar with, looking at it, tears flowed down her eyes.
She regretted it, regretted that she allowed Bai Yao to come out of the valley a month ago.
If she hadn't agreed, she wouldn't have waited for more than a month, wouldn't she?
"The strings are broken, who is the song to listen to? Sadness and joy compose a song, and there will always be tears and tears. Xu Liyin's pupils were out of focus, and it took a long time before she muttered.
A few words, but all her state of mind at the moment.
"Yao Chu, where are you?" Tears poured out again, Xu Liyin suppressed her emotions and only sobbed lowly, she had never been so uneasy as she was now.
Gone forever, these words have been going back and forth in Xu Liyin's mind, lingering.
She was so scared that he was really gone.
"Yaochu, if you don't come back for a day, I will wait for you for a day. Wait until I'm old, wait until I'm dead. Xu Liyin gently pressed her face against the paulownia wooden qin, and tears fell on the piano one by one, drawing a touch of silent sadness.
She didn't believe that he was the kind of person who didn't believe in his word, and she didn't believe that he would lose him.
She knew that Bai Yaochu was not that kind of person.
Therefore, she is willing to wait from the cardamom years until Shaohua passes.
"Riyin. At this moment, a low call gently reached her ears, just two words, but Xu Liyin's body froze instantly.
"Riyin, I'm back. The voice was hoarse, mixed with some deliberately suppressed emotions.
"Yaochu!" Xu Liyin finally turned her head and saw Bai Yaochu in a somewhat messy white shirt.
His black hair was scattered over his shoulders, and his jade-like face was a little pale that was difficult to hide.
This is the first time Xu Liyin has seen such an embarrassed Bai Yaochu.
In her memory, he has always been a dusty, fairy-like man.
"What are you doing Yaochu, what's the matter?" Xu Liyin looked at Bai Yaochu's slightly pale face, immediately stood up, put down the paulownia wood qin in his hand, and stepped forward to care.
"It's okay, I'm fine. Bai Yaochu's eyes flashed, deliberately avoiding Xu Liyin's question, and only smiled at her.
"I'm sorry Yao Chu...... Your piano, I broke a string. Xu Liyin looked at the paulownia on the table, and looked at Bai Yaochu with an apologetic expression.
"It's okay, the strings are broken, and then we can continue. Bai Yaochu glanced at the piano on the table, then shook his head and smiled.
"Yao Chu, are you really okay? Xu Liyin couldn't help but caress Bai Yaochu's face, only to realize that his face was cold and scary.
"It's okay, I'm afraid I'm tired. Bai Yaochu immediately brushed Xu Liyin's hand away, as if he was afraid that she would find something, and his eyes dodged.
"Really?" Xu Liyin's heart still didn't let go, she felt that he was too abnormal.
"By the way, Riyin, you're about to eat this. Suddenly, Bai Yaochu took out a fruit-like thing the size of a date from his arms and put it in Xu Liyin's hand, and smiled at her.
"What is this?" Xu Liyin looked at the blood-red fruit-like thing in his palm, and if he looked closely, he could see that it was flowing slowly like blood, Xu Liyin really couldn't see what it was, so he asked suspiciously.
The palace was the place where all the treasures of the world gathered, but even in such a place, she had never seen such fruit.
"Riyin, let's eat. Bai Yaochu didn't answer, just looked at Xu Liyin expectantly.
It was a look that Xu Liyin had never seen before, and she couldn't bear to refuse.
"Good. Xu Liyin was stunned for a while, then looked at Bai Yaochu's expectant eyes, and finally nodded.
Under Bai Yaochu's gaze, Xu Liyin gently put the fruit in her mouth, and when she bit the peel, the juice in the fruit flowed out instantly and was swallowed by her.
The fragrant taste makes Xu Liyin have an endless aftertaste, this unknown fruit is really magical.
She could feel as if her body had been injected with a warm current, and it was very comfortable.
"Poof......" At this moment, Bai Yaochu, who was beside Xu Liyin, suddenly spit out a mouthful of blood, which was soaked in his snow-white robe drop by drop, so shocking.
The blood-colored flowers of the demon Ye, on his clothes and on the ground, bloomed and reddened inch by inch.
"Yaochu!" Xu Liyin's beautiful eyes widened, and she didn't have time to think about it before she stepped forward to support the crumbling Bai Yaochu.
"Too ...... That's great...... Do you eat...... Ate ......" Bai Yaochu glanced at him for a while, and the blood at the corner of his mouth was still flowing down his jaw to his neck.
"Yaochu, Yaochu, wake up!" Xu Liyin didn't have time to think about anything, the only thing she could do now was to shout Bai Yaochu's name.
Tears flowed unchecked again.
Looking at the little blood on his robe, Xu Liyin couldn't breathe in pain.
What did he go through to get such a serious injury?
Thinking of Bai Yaochu's appearance of being okay just now, Xu Liyin's heart hurt even more.
"I ...... I'm fine...... Riyin, you ...... You'll never have to ...... again Don't worry...... The old man will die......" A smile tugged at the corner of Bai Yaochu's mouth, and with blood, he looked so fragile and fragile.
"Yaochu, what did you give me?" Xu Liyin's eyes widened, she knelt on the ground and hugged Bai Yaochu, looking at his increasingly pale and beautiful face, her heart seemed to have something very important quietly passing.
Why doesn't she have to worry about dying of old age anymore? Why?
"Because he gave you the demon fruit!" But she didn't wait for Bai Yaochu's answer, but waited for a cold voice that seemed to come from ten miles away.
