Chapter 4: Old Dreams Are Too Beautiful (1)
The Peach Blossom Festival in March of the ninth year of Shenghui
After an unusually cold winter, March in Uehara Prefecture has a spring breath early. The wind was gentle and warm, and the air was filled with the scent of grass and flowers.
Because of such good weather, Nanzhu hummed happily when she was working, and after a while, she quickly cleaned up Yin Suwen's small house.
"Hey, Miss, you're back, you've finished practicing the sword so quickly?"
took the sword in Yin Suwen's hand, turned around and took out the gift that had been prepared as if offering a treasure, it was a bottle of peach blossoms that had been opened just right.
"Miss, Miss, look how well this peach blossom blooms. When the slave passed by the Buddhist hall today, she accidentally found that there was such a secret peach forest in our house, although the area was not large, but the flowers in it were all blooming very well. Miss, you smell it, it's more fragrant than ordinary flowers. ”
The vase is old but has a luster luster, and a few clusters of peach blossom branches are obliquely inserted in the milky white vase. The pale pink petals bloom vigorously, some stretch and some have buds, and the unique fragrance seems to have water vapor at the beginning of the spring snow. If you look closely, it is indeed different from the ordinary flower color, and the early blooming flower fragrance is more special.
The color of the pink petal golden stamen was just right, reflecting Nanzhu's vigorous and expectant smiling face, Yin Suwen had a rare faint smile on his face, and then frowned violently.
"Miss, what's wrong with you? Why is your face so ugly, is it uncomfortable? Is it that the heartache has recurred? ”
Seeing Yin Su, whose face was pale, asked, Nanzhu subconsciously thought that the old disease brought by her mother's womb had recurred, and she immediately became nervous. My own lady's heartache seems to have become more and more serious in recent years.
"Out of the way."
Yin Suwen's face was still not good, but his expression quickly returned to calm. Although the wound on her calf that had been cut when she was practicing her sword just now came from the clear pain after entering the house, compared to Nanzhu's nervous expression as if she was facing a great enemy, she still preferred to pretend that nothing happened.
Nanzhu is a rare person in this house who is really good to her, she has always known it, and she is grateful but still unwilling to trouble. It's just because she knows that as long as she has it, she will definitely lose it, and warmth and love will eventually become a problem.
"Are you really okay?"
Nanzhu's little face was wrinkled and full of sadness.
"It's really okay, it's just a little bruise when I practiced the sword. However, where is the little peach orchard you just mentioned? ”
A small peach grove is full of lush peach blossoms, and it is early spring, and there are already bees and butterflies hiding among the flowers. Under a peach tree with lush foliage, a figure in a light pink shirt reclined at the foot of the tree, sleeping peacefully.
The sound of small and slight footsteps slowly approached, and there was a faint fragrance of good smell lingering on the tip of his nose, and a strange man with gentle eyebrows and eyes slowly beckoned to him, and said softly: Su Xin, don't be afraid, I'm here.
As always, Yin Suwen clearly knew that he was actually in a dream at this moment, as if his real self was floating in the air, looking at another identical self and could always empathize. She could also see the faint figure coming towards her, but she couldn't always see the other person's face.
She was as anxious as herself in her dream, anxiously wanting to grab the man and tell him: I am not called Su Xin, my name is Su Wen - Shangyuan Mansion, Yin Su asked.
As I got closer, I felt like I was about to touch the hands that summoned me, but I was suddenly awakened by an itch on my face.
"Who?! Suddenly getting up, the long sword in his hand was already pointed at the comer.
She was a little annoyed, partly because of the interrupted dream, and partly because someone had accidentally broken into the secret garden and she didn't know about it.
This hidden peach forest has become Yin Suwen's favorite place since it was accidentally discovered by Namjoo earlier. Not only because of the beautiful scenery that changes all year round, but also because as long as she is here, she will feel inexplicably at ease, and no one will disturb her comfort and peace of mind. It was here that the recurring magical dreams became more and more frequent, and she was desperate to unravel them.
Strange to say, although it was the first peach forest discovered in Nanzhu, it has never been able to find an entrance since then. On the contrary, only Yin Suwen can enter and exit freely without obstacles, as if this peach forest was changed by a well-meaning mountain spirit monster, just to give her a paradise where she can rest assured.
But now, her secret has been discovered by outsiders for the first time.
"You, who are you? How did you get here?! "
Rubbing his sleepy eyes indiscriminately, Yin Suwen was slightly stunned when he saw the appearance of the person who came. The other party is a strange man he has never seen before, not the imaginary prodigal son, but clean and gentle. She hadn't been out of the house for many years, and she hadn't seen anyone alive, and she was awakened by a stranger at this moment, and she suddenly felt embarrassed.
The young man was pointed at the shoulder by the girl's long sword, and he was stunned at first, then raised his eyebrows, and laughed instead of anger.
He was covered in a well-cut moon-white shirt, with moire trimming of gold and silver threads on the cuffs, sporadically embellished with unknown floral ornaments, and a jade-colored brocade belt around his waist that set off his thin but straight figure just right.
At this time, he had one hand behind his back, and the other hand happened to be pinching the blade of Yin Suwen's stab. The eyes seemed to be smiling, and the dark eyes seemed to be shining with a little starlight.
It wasn't until many years later that Yin Suwen once said to him: You are the best-looking person I have ever seen in the past ten years, just like inadvertently falling in front of me from the clear night sky of a summer night, full of intoxicating starlight, shining.
"You wanted to stab here, didn't you? "
The man did not retreat, but advanced, pinching the tip of his sword and pointing it at his throat from his shoulder. He is already tall, and he is a few years older than Yin Suwen, and there is a gap between the two in height.
Yin Suwen hadn't yet broken free from that strong sense of embarrassment, and he didn't expect that the other party seemed to be a weak scholar but was not afraid of his sword at all, and couldn't help but blushed all of a sudden.
"Wrong, it's here! "
The sword in his hand crossed his throat and quickly moved to the center of the opponent's eyebrows. Her pride is still there, and she will never allow anyone to say that she is wrong except her father.
However, that move seemed to hit the eyebrows directly, but because Yin Suwen's height was not enough, it turned into a funny scene where he could only stand on tiptoe.
The man's eyes never left Yin Suwen's body, but he didn't care about the sword that was close at hand, he only smiled and said:
"Alright, admit defeat in the next! But it's really dangerous for a girl to dance and play with a sword all day long, what if one accidentally hurts herself? "
His words were relaxed, but his right hand flicked Yin Suwen's sword back without a trace, and this seemingly inadvertent wave of his hand was not small, forcing Yin Suwen to take two steps back before standing again.
