Chapter 1: The Past (1)
Lately, I seem to have become more and more dull.
The peach tree spirit in front of the mountain said: "Probably because I have eaten too much, so I am extremely sleepy and dull, and the little white snake does not have to worry." ”
The peach tree spirit in front of the mountain is my good friend, and she accompanies me for entertainment when she has nothing to do, and she is also the only spirit in the entire Dongyue Mountain who is willing to play with me and talk to me.
I also have a master who is always elusive and always says that he is very busy and has no time to take care of me. The other spirits in the mountains were afraid of him and did not dare to come to our house, only the little peach tree was specially approved by the master.
The evening breeze seemed to push the window, and I thought it was the peach tree spirit who came to see me, and every time she came, a little peach blossom fragrance wafted in through the window.
"Little White Snake, I'm here to bring you fruit."
I got out of the quilt, climbed onto the table, looked up, and sure enough, it was her.
Master said that I was too young to transform into a human form, but the Peach Tree Spirit was only 300 years old and had already taken shape, and I thought I should be the most unpromising one in the snake clan.
"There's fruit to eat."
The peach tree spirit came over with a basket in a floral cloth shirt, and I remembered. She came to bring me medicine, and I was the same person I am now after I woke up from a serious illness, and Master said that I was bold enough to fight with others, and I ended up being broken by someone.
He is still recovering from his injuries to this day.
I don't really know what kind of opponent can break my snake's tendons, but now my body is much stronger.
"Ah, I'm here to bring you medicine."
······
The peach tree essence is bitter and tight, and it is sweet only when the master boils it, but today the master is not there, and he has not come back for three days.
"When will my master come back?"
After drinking the medicine, I crawled back into the brocade quilt, and it was a ball, revealing only a small head.
If the peach tree spirit doesn't leave, she will watch me fall asleep before leaving.
She paused before she spoke, "When Ah Huan gets better, he will come back." ”
I quietly reclined my head into the quilt and sunk into one part of the bed, and finally I heard the soft closing of the door in a half-asleep dream, only to realize that I was going to be alone in the room again.
If only Master was there, when I slept at night, I often had chills, and he said that I was cold in blood, so he put me in his arms, and he said that I had an internal wound, and there was no wound outside the flesh, but only a serious injury inside.
It may have been cold when I came in, and when I slept at night, I was more and more affected by the cold wind that blew in.
Suddenly, there was a wind blowing in, and I thought it was the window being blown open again, and at night when the master was away, I could only wait for the peach tree to come tomorrow and help close it.
The door was gently slammed shut again, accompanied by the sound of soft footsteps.
I felt that the air around me was getting warmer, and I thought that Master had returned.
I poked my head out of the quilt, drowsy but unable to resist my longing for Master.
"Master, why have you only come back after all these days?"
My eyes were so sleepy that I couldn't open them, but when I smelled the smell, I knew it was Master, so I got out of the quilt and drilled into him, and Master put me in his arms.
"It won't be cold that way."
······ A dividing line.
Sure enough, it was the best sleep I've had since Master left home.
When I woke up in the morning, I instinctively played in Master's arms, because I knew that the peach tree spirit would come to deliver the medicine again in a while.
The sour and astringent medicine is really hard to swallow, and there is no fruit to accompany it, which is simply a destruction of my snake life.
Master Xu saw my intentions, touched my little head and said, "If the peach tree spirit doesn't come today, I'll give you a decoction in a while, and sleep for a while with peace of mind." ”
The smell of Master's body made me smell comfortably, different from the fragrance of the peach tree essence, just a very good smell.
It was almost after noon that Master woke me up, and it was time for me to drink the medicine.
The taste of the medicine boiled by the master and the peach tree essence is different, and the master boils it sweetly.
Seeing that the time was in the afternoon, Master moved a rocking chair, held me in his arms, and lay in the courtyard to bask in the sun, saying that the sun was strong but not sunny at this time, so that I could recover more yang energy, so that it would not be too cold at night when he was away.
But as soon as I said this, I had a sense of foreboding in my heart.
"Master, are you leaving again?"
Master didn't speak, just nodded.
I wanted to ask a few words, but after a while in his arms, I fell asleep again with the warmth of the sun.
When I woke up again, I was already in bed, Master was not around, and it was the peach tree spirit who was staring at me with wide eyes.
"Your master, he has something at home and has to go back to deal with it, and it may take a while to come back to see you."
The peach tree spirit is always inaccurate to speak, just like yesterday in order to coax me to drink medicine, and said that the master would not come back until I was better.
"If you don't do it, don't you still say, Master won't come back until I'm well, then why did you come back last night."
I climbed my whole body onto the brocade quilt.
"Who would have thought that Emperor Yesterday, your master would miss you so much, and he ran back from his house to see you."
I always feel that the peach tree spirit speaks inexplicably.
"Okay, I believe you, tomorrow's medicine can't be sweeter."
She always said that the prescription was correct, but it was always bitter, and when I told the Master about it, the Master just smiled and touched my head, and then said, "It's all bitter." ”
To this day, I wonder if I'm terminally ill.
"Little White Snake asks for a lot, okay, I'll try."
······
But it was still my extravagant hope, and the medicine on the second day still tasted the same, and the bitterness was even worse.
What scared me even more was that I had grown four little claws, I was a little white snake, but I had claws, and at this time Master had not come back, I had not been out at home for seven days, and I was still basking in the sun, and I was not so cold to sleep at night.
Even the peach tree spirit didn't come for a few days, I don't know where she went, the last time the peach tree spirit came to see me, she stayed with me for a long time, and she didn't leave until the next day, and I have good ears.
But since then the peach tree spirit has not come, and I have given birth to four more claws, and fortunately I can close the window by myself at night when the wind blows open.
After a few more days, I can't remember how many days, my four legs had grown, I was basking in the sun in the rocking chair in the yard, but fortunately, no matter what kind of wind, the rocking chair never blew over.
A few days ago, I crawled to the peach tree spirit's house, but the wooden door at the door was locked, and there was no peach blossom smell inside, and the little peach tree spirit also left me.
Looking at the sun overhead, I suddenly fell asleep, and dreamed of the master, who seemed to be dressed very well, and some people called him Your Majesty.
In the dream, it seems to be upside down and confused, confused and upside down.
Later, the weather became warmer, I didn't bask in the sun during the day, and it wouldn't be cold at night, so I didn't go out, Master never came back, and the peach tree spirit was not there, and I could only see Master by relying on those fragmentary dreams, but such days were very difficult, and I was still the same lonely when I woke up.
