It was only the next morning that the rain slowly stopped.

The two of them stood like this all night, occasionally saying a sentence or two, all of which were insignificant. Ximei felt that although Mo Li had regained his memory, he had pushed everyone out of his world, except for Tao Yao.

She wondered if Tao Yao was not there, and Tao Yao could not be resurrected, would it be fine. Sometimes, once the seeds of evil are sown, they will grow up quickly, but kindness is often not so easy.

After standing for too long, Ximei's legs were a little stiff, and the ground that had rained was a little muddy. She slipped and fell straight to the ground. The expected pain didn't come, and a pair of strong arms wrapped around her waist.

She opened her eyes, and the ink was close to Ruyu's face. The worry in his eyes made her shake for a moment. Maybe because of the memories of his previous life, what he cares about most in his heart is Tao Yao, but at least she also has a place, isn't she? After all, she has spent so many years with him.

"It's okay!" Mo Li slowly let go of the hand holding Ximei. Looking at the peach blossom branch standing in the dirt behind her, she kept muttering, "It's okay!"

It's just these four words that make Ximei, who has always been cold, cry. Thinking of Fang Cai's self, it felt like a joke, and what he cared about was the peach blossom branch behind her. She laughed miserably, if she fell, that peach blossom branch must really be unable to be saved. Why hold her, wouldn't it be better if she fell?

She laughed at herself, thinking that if she didn't have this peach blossom branch behind her, maybe Mo Li would have caused her to fall on such a muddy ground. No, he should have thought of saving her, but she wouldn't have seen the worried look in his eyes. Even if the eyes passed through him, looking at the peach blossom branch behind him.

She looked at the hand she had just pressed against his chest, and she always felt as if there was something she had overlooked. Suddenly, her eyes widened, and she forgot to let the tears fall from the corners of her eyes. She could clearly feel the warm beating in his chest. This is normal for anyone, but not for him. Before they came to Fanghu Mountain, she met him. At that time, in order to confirm whether he really had no heart, she listened to him on his chest for a long time while he was asleep.

At that time, he had no heart, she was sorry for him, and I was afraid that he could only live like a walking corpse in this life, and had nothing to do with love; now that he had a heart, she was sad for herself, and the things she was thinking about would eventually turn into a bubble and have no results.

It's no wonder that after Mo Li met Nuwa, his attitude towards Tao Yao was different. If you just recover your memory, it's too far-fetched, but if you have a heart, then it all makes sense. The reason why he forgot his heart at that time was because of Daji's deception. Now seeing Tao Yao reincarnated for him and paying so much for him, the suppressed feelings naturally gushed out like a mountain spring.

"Senior brother, you get busy first, I'll go back!"

"Oh!" Mo replied without replying.

Ximei stumbled back, two consciousnesses struggling in her mind. The first is to give up Mo Li, help him resurrect Tao Yao, and let them live happily ever after, and the other is to take Mo Li over by any means and accompany him from then on.

But she has never been an easy person to make up her mind, otherwise, in the previous life, she would not have already understood her mind, but she did not tell Di Xin all the truth. After seeing Tao Yao again, she had countless thoughts in her mind about killing her and strangling everything in the cradle. But she never did it, sometimes because she was afraid of being doubted by others, and more often because she was ruthless. Because the friendship of more than 1,000 years has never been adulterated, and it cannot be erased casually.

But now all this makes her understand that everything is destined to be difficult for both sides, and she always has to make a trade-off. Either let go of their feelings for Moli, or let go of their thousand-year-old friendship.

When they woke up in the morning, Qingfeng saw the scattered leaves in the courtyard, and they couldn't feel at ease when they thought of the peach branches that had just been planted yesterday, so the three of them came down to take a look together. When I went down the mountain, I met the depressed Ximei again. asked her if Tao Yao was okay, but she didn't say a word. Several people were even more flustered in their hearts, and they rode the wind all the way to Moli's wooden house.

Seeing that although a few flower bones had fallen, the peach branches were still mentally rooted in the soil, several people breathed a sigh of relief.

"You're here!"

"Well, when I woke up and saw the scene in the courtyard, I knew that it was raining heavily yesterday, and I was afraid that there was something wrong, so I came to take a look. Now that I see that there is no problem, I am relieved!" Yue Yao walked in the front and replied first.

Qingfeng circled around the peach branch, and found that the soil around the peach branch was obviously drier than in other places, and then saw the oil-paper umbrella standing next to the wooden house, which was still dripping rain, and he understood.

In the past, he knew that Tao Yao liked him, but he was not at ease, because most of the time he saw Tao Yao scarred for him. And since meeting Nuwa Niangniang, Mo Li seems to have changed as a person, and all his attitudes towards Tao Yao have changed. has changed from a little sister with a decent relationship to a person who can give everything for it. Although Qingfeng didn't know what Nuwa Niangniang said to Moli and what she did to make him have such a change, he was happy in his heart. At least Tao Yao knows, and she will be very happy, very happy. And he, from the moment he understood his intentions, knew that there was nothing more important in this world than making Tao Yao happy.

The three of them didn't stay long and went back, after all, Fanghu Mountain, there are still many places they haven't gotten to, and they still have to help find the soul fragments left by Taoyao on Fanghu Mountain.

After heavy rain, the air became fresh. The weather was comfortable in both lukewarm weather. It's just that this kind of weather didn't last a few days.

The morning of this day came much earlier than usual. It was supposed to be a breezy morning, but it turned out to be a little hot due to the scorching sun, but it was still acceptable. But at noon, it was too hot to stand.

Mo Li looked at the peach branches that had become a little wilted, and hurriedly fetched water and watered them all on it. But because the sun was too strong, the water poured around, and it was dried out again in a short time.

"It can't go on like this, the sun is too strong. Mo Li thought about it, so he found a few longer branches nearby and planted them around the peach branches. Then he took out a robe from his storage bag, tied the four corners of the robe to the four branches, and built a shed for the peach branches to block the sun.

After all this, he was already sweating. But he didn't care about resting for a while, so he carried the bucket and ran to the Bishui River to fetch water. When it's hot, it's natural to water more.

When Mo Li finished watering, thinking that he could finally rest for a while, he found that some insects and ants that liked shade had also crawled under the shelter. Thinking that Tao Yao was most afraid of these, he lured them away little by little. Their immortal cultivators never kill lightly, unless they have to.

After all this, he was even more tired than after a day of cultivation. He didn't know how Tao Yao, who was so afraid of insects and ants, had grown here for more than 200 years. She has experienced more than 200 years of wind, frost, rain and dew, and she could have comfortably been the god of the Heavenly Palace. It's all just because of him, because we have to wait for him and be with him again.

As the sun softened, he took off his robe for shelter, and the sunlight shone on the peach branches, as if emitting a different light. Let his heart be at peace and satisfaction like never before. He seemed to see Tao Yao standing there with a smile, looking at him from a distance. In the afterglow of the setting sun, the gentle wind will lift the corners of her skirt and hair, which is beautiful.

Although the peach branches have not shown signs of growth in the past few days, they are still vibrant, which also makes Mo Li feel at ease. After all, if it is an ordinary branch, it has already withered in the past few days after being picked, and this peach branch is still so energetic. Mo Li guessed that the peach branch might be taking root these days.

.....

Early one morning half a month later. Moli woke up to find that all the flowers had withered. His heart trembled, and he was shocked. Everything in his eyes disappeared at that moment. He couldn't hear anything else, he couldn't see anything else, and all that was left in front of him was the withered peach branch.

Why is this happening? He was obviously well taken care of. It shouldn't be like this!

Even though it was only a few steps from the wooden house to the peach branch, he had a hard time. These few short steps seemed to exhaust the courage of his life.

He wants to know the truth, but he is afraid of it.

When the flower is gone, the green leaves grow. It was as if he had gone from hell to heaven at once. The mood at that moment was even more exciting than when he ascended the throne of Shang at that time. In this short moment, he went from sadness to joy, from panic to joy. But even after experiencing these two extremes, he has never been so grateful.

He squatted beside the peach branch and muttered, "Taoyao, I'll wait for you, wait for you to grow up, wait for you to recover, three mountains and five mountains, four seas and eight wildernesses, let's swim together." ”

The breeze blew, and the peach branches swayed slightly, as if whispering softly to him.

......

After three months, the peach branch had grown half a man's height. They would often come down to take a look, and sometimes they would bring Xiaohuo and Xiaohu. At the earliest, Xiaohuo was clamoring to come, but Qingfeng was worried that Xiaohuo and Xiaohu would accidentally touch the peach branch and affect its growth. It wasn't until later that the peach branches took root and became more branches and leaves, so they dared to take them to see, but they didn't dare to ask them to get too close, after all, these two Fanghu Mountain are too happy these days, in case it causes any harm to the peach branches, it will be bad.

But in addition to this, there is also not very good news. Because of the breeze, they walked all over Fanghu Mountain, and only found a soul fragment, which was under the begonia tree in the yard where Tao Yao once lived. Qingfeng remembered that the three of them had drunk together under this tree during the Hundred Years Competition, and all three of them were drunk at that time.
