Chapter Ninety-Six: Peach Blossoms

Ah Jiu ran down the mountain with Su Ming, holding his hand from beginning to end, and when he arrived at the foot of the mountain, Su Ming's palms already had some sweat stains.

When he arrived at the foot of the mountain, Ah Jiu was already a little out of breath, and suddenly saw that he was still holding Su Ming's hand, his face turned red, and he said, "Brother Su Ming, you come with me." ”

Leaving these words, Ah Jiu let go of Su Ming's hand and ran towards the distance first.

Looking at the direction in which she was running, it was heading towards the depths of the mountain range, Su Ming didn't know what she was going to do, but he still hurried to follow.

The two entered the valley and walked along the mountain road for a while, when the sound of rushing water was heard in the distance, and the two walked out of the forest and found a small stream in front of them.

The meandering stream stretched out from the depths of the mountain range, and Ah Jiu ran along the stream towards it, bypassing a mountain, the stream became wider and wider, and finally a cave appeared in front of it.

The creek runs out of the cave, but it is unknown what is on the other side of the cave.

Ah Jiu came to the edge of the cave, leaned against the mountain wall, and walked towards the cave.

Su Ming followed behind, carefully protecting her body, but Ah Jiu had been here many times, and he was already familiar with the road, and said to Su Ming: "Brother Su Ming, be careful not to step into the water." ”

Ah Jiu jumped forward, Su Ming followed her for a while, and suddenly opened up in front of her, with the help of the sun's rays, Su Ming saw the scene in front of him, this is a valley, the stream becomes very wide from here, and extends to the back of the mountain range, and there is a faint sound of water coming.

But what caught Su Ming's attention the most was that the peach trees on both sides of the river, bearing heavy peaches, all full and round.

Seeing these peaches, Su Ming stepped a little, came to the shore, looked at the peach trees on both sides, and said with some surprise: "So many peach trees? Did you grow it? ”

If it's a wild peach tree, it won't rest so neatly, so someone should take care of it.

Ah Jiu slowly stepped on the raised stones on the bank of the stream, jumped ashore, and said with a smile: "Yes, the peach trees here were planted with the disciples of the Qingzhu Gang when I first came here a few years ago. The peach trees are only ripe in the past few days, and some are not ripe. ”

It's already April, and it's the season of peach.

Ah Jiu said, picked up the bamboo pole and stabbed it in the air, a peach fell, Ah Jiu stretched out his white and tender little hand to fish, grabbed the peach, ran to the water's edge, put the peach into the stream and washed it.

After washing it, Ah Jiu came to Su Ming with the peach, raised his little hand and grabbed the peach and handed it over.

Su Ming stretched out his hand to take it, looked at it, and found that this peach was full and ruddy, and it was ripe, he put it to his mouth, and took a big bite, the juice filled his mouth, and the sweet and greasy taste fermented in his mouth.

"How?" Ah Jiu put his hands behind his back and looked at Su Ming expectantly.

Su Ming swallowed the peach meat in his mouth, wiped the juice flowing from the corner of his mouth, and said in surprise: "It's delicious, it's so delicious." ”

I have never eaten such a delicious peach, sweet and juicy, a bite, the mouth is full of juice, and it melts in the mouth, just need to gently sip it, the peach flesh will disperse, after swallowing, there is still a sweet taste in the mouth.

After receiving Su Ming's evaluation, Ah Jiu raised his little head a little proudly and said, "Of course, these peaches are Shenzhou peaches, and I chose the best peaches to plant them." ”

Deep State peaches?

Su Ming knew the reputation of Shenzhou peaches, known as the 'best of peaches', and the royal families of all dynasties regarded this peach as a fruit in the palace, so this peach is also called a tribute peach.

This peach is not crispy, nor sweet and sour, but has only one characteristic, which is sweet and juicy.

Some people say that after a good Shenzhou peach is ripe, you can pinch it on the epidermis, and you can ooze juice.

Su Ming looked at the peaches in his hand and ate a few more bites, only to feel comfortable, because the fatigue caused by the long-distance run disappeared without a trace.

"It's delicious."

Su Ming finished eating the peach in a few bites, and said unsatisfied: "I still want to eat another one, can Ah Jiu?" ”

Ah Jiu saw Su Ming's request, and said happily: "Of course you can, I'll pick it for you." ”

Speaking of this, Ah Jiu picked another peach, squatted by the stream and washed it, but before it was washed, there was a knock next to it.

Ah Jiu turned her head and found a peach pit thrown into the stream, she immediately reached out and fished it out, scooped the peach pit out of the water, and said, "Don't throw it away, I want to plant these peach pits again." ”

As he spoke, Ah Jiu put the peach pit in his pocket very carefully.

After putting the peach pit away, Ah Jiu washed the peach again, handed it to Su Ming, and advised, "Give me the peach pit after eating." ”

"Yes."

Su Ming remembered it this time, and after eating the peaches, she gave the peach pits to Ah Jiu, and she solemnly put them away.

Su Ming looked at Ah Jiu, who had been looking at him, and asked, "Ah Jiu, why don't you eat it?" Don't just look at me. ”

Ah Jiu's face turned red, and he whispered, "Got it." ”

Ah Jiu picked two peaches and washed them in the stream, and then the two sat by the stream, one holding a peach, eating happily, and his mouth was full of juice.

Su Ming ate relatively quickly, and after eating, Ah Jiu only ate half of it, looked at Su Ming, and asked with a small mouth full of juice, "Brother Su Ming, do you still eat?" ”

Su Ming patted his stomach and said, "I've eaten three, my stomach is a little supportive, I'll eat it later." ”

When Ah Jiu heard this, he nodded his little head and gnawed the peach in his hand intently.

After eating the peaches, Ah Jiu put away the peach pits, washed his hands, sat on the grass by the stream, stretched his two slender legs straight, put his hands on his knees, and said, "Brother Su Ming, if you had come here a month ago, you would have been able to see the peach blossoms." ”

"There are so many peach trees, and the peach blossoms must be beautiful." Su Ming said with a smile.

Ah Jiu glanced at him and said with a smile: "It's okay, Brother Su Ming, you come back next year, and I'll show you the peach blossoms." ”

Next year?

I have less than 20 days to leave, so how can I stay until next year?

And next year, the Ming Empire will collapse, and the situation will be even more chaotic, presumably Ah Jiu will not be interested in caring whether the peach blossoms are beautiful anymore.

It's not without chance, though.

Su Ming suddenly closed his eyes and said, "No need for next year, I'll see it now." ”

"Now?"

Ah Jiu looked at Su Ming in confusion and found that he had his eyes closed, twisting his head to 'look' at the fruit tree in the distance.

Su Ming pointed not far away and said with a smile: "I saw it, there is a peach blossom there, it is very bright, very beautiful, and the petals are very beautiful." ”

Ah Jiu immediately knew what Su Ming meant, she also closed her eyes, nodded approvingly, and said, "It's really beautiful, look there, the peach blossoms there are the most beautiful." ”

"The peach blossoms selected by Ah Jiu are very beautiful, but what do you think of that one, Ah Jiu?"

“……”

“……”

The two of them talked about the peach blossoms that didn't exist, and as the sun deflected, the sun gradually set, and the afterglow of the setting sun left a golden glow on the two of them.
