In order to avoid causing panic among the people in the house, Su Jiuling finally decided to let Hongyao live in his room, and stated that she couldn't speak when someone was there, so as not to scare people away.

She can only speak when the two of them are alone.

That night, Su Jiuling took out a bed from the cabinet, spread it directly next to the bed, and then lay down comfortably on it.

Hongyao propped up the edge of the bed with both hands, sat on it with his buttocks, put his feet on the pedals, looked down at Su Jiuling and said, "Master Su, it's very inconvenient for you to sleep here, after all, there is a difference between men and women." ”

The comfortable Su Jiuling was stunned, and felt that what Hongyao said was very reasonable, he was about to get up and put away the bed, and said: "I can't see you now, there is no difference between men and women, I am actually alone in this room." ”

After that, he lay comfortably on it again.

Hongyao said: "Young Master Su, it's not good for you to deceive yourself like this, there are obviously two people in this room, but you have to say that there is only one; Although Su Gongzi can't see Hongyao, Hongyao can see Su Gongzi, Hongyao is still a fifteen-year-old girl, if she shares a room with a man, it will definitely be very inconvenient. ”

Su Jiuling obediently put away the freshly made beds one by one, he stood in the inner room and looked left and right, and finally decided to sleep in the hall.

He put the quilts into the cabinet one by one, and then went to move the table, because people came to clean the floor every day, so it was extremely clean, and finally Su Jiuling was satisfied with spreading the quilt on the ground and lying down.

Su Jiuling came over again and pulled the screen up, and one room was instantly divided into two rooms.

Hongyao lay down sideways, looked at the screen, and said softly, "Master Su, aren't you afraid of me?" ”

If she were an ordinary person, she would definitely avoid her as an evil ghost, and then ask the mage to exorcise her, but Su Jiuling was not only not afraid of her, but also treated her very well.

Su Jiuling laughed softly, and her voice was extremely gentle: "Because that person is a red medicine, I promised her that I would protect her for the safety of her life." ”

Yes, he once promised to protect her for the rest of her life, even if she couldn't become a human in this life, he couldn't see her, and Su Jiuling would do his best to protect her.

"Thank you, Master Su." Red Medicine smiled.

The two men behind the screen turned sideways, facing each other, with faint smiles on their faces.

A full moon hung high on the branches, casting a hazy glow through the window; The candlelight behind the screen swayed slightly, shaking the hearts of the two.

"Master Su, I didn't expect to meet you in Taohuayuan Village, at that time, I already planned to spend my life there. I was ready to tie my life to this sea of flowers, endless green lawns and simple and kind villagers, but I didn't expect that only a few days later, I would see Su Gongzi's figure there. Hongyao recalled the past.

Su Jiuling said: "How did you get to that place?" ”

It turned out that the red medicine he saw there, although it was only for a moment, was real!

"I didn't know, as soon as I woke up, I found myself lying in a sea of flowers."

There was silence in the room, and Hongyao shouted softly: "Master Su? ”

For a long time, when Hongyao thought that Su Jiuling had fallen asleep, he heard: "There are many creatures in the ocean, no matter how much hardship they have endured, they will eventually return to their original birthplace. ”

Hongyao dilated his pupils, looked at the black shadow behind the screen, and said in surprise: "Su Gongzi is saying that Taohuayuan Village is my birthplace, and I am from Taohuayuan, right?" ”

Su Jiuling said: "It's possible, but everything will not be known until we go to investigate." ”

Hongyao thought of the group of kind and simple villagers, and her heart couldn't help but soften, and she said happily: "If I was really born in such a beautiful village like a fairyland, I would really be so happy!" ”

The people there are simple and kind.

In the evening, the man who worked in the field came home, and ran to the root of the crooked neck willow tree at the back of the house with a rice bowl to sit down, who had good food in the bowl, everyone was not polite, they all went to clip a chopstick, and the person who was "robbed" of the rice bowl was very happy.

The women of the village often get together to discuss cooking and weaving skills, and they learn from each other.

The old people in the village usually gather together with their children, the old people talk about family life, and the children play in front of them.

They also often bring the delicacies made by each family to the hills and flowers for picnics.

It's so enviable, the so-called fairyland on earth is nothing more than that!

However, all that changed suddenly.

The villagers began to become wary and suspicious, hot-tempered, lazy and gloomy, but cautious and cautious......

Hongyao pulled back his thoughts and asked, "Master Su, do you know the past of Peach Blossom Source Village?" ”

"I've only seen it in books, saying that they live in seclusion, where the villagers live happily ever after, and they have always been isolated from the world and have no contact with the outside world."

Hongyao said in disbelief: "Really? ”

If he really didn't have contact with the outside world, why did he have a strong hostility after seeing the foreign Su Gongzi? Or even hatred? It doesn't seem that there is no connection as Su Gongzi said, on the contrary, Hongyao feels that Taohuayuan Village must have had a close connection with the outside world for a period of time, and this connection is not a good thing.

Su Jiuling's warm voice came from outside the screen again: "However, there is another way of saying; The people from outside invaded Taohuayuan Village and brought disaster to the villagers here, and this painful memory has been passed down by the villagers of Taohuayuan Village for generations. ”

Hongyao was shocked, if this is the case, it can explain the reason why the villagers hate Su Jiuling, they all agree that it was outsiders who destroyed their homes and killed their ancestors, so they showed such a strong hatred after seeing Su Jiuling.

"Does Master Su know who those people are?" Red Medicine said busily.

Su Jiuling lay flat, shook his head and said, "I checked a lot of information, but I didn't find any relevant records; I've always been more inclined to the first version, and I always feel that the second theory is too dark to believe, but after going to Taohuayuan Village this time, I feel that there may be some untold stories in it. ”

"How did Su Gongzi find there? Are there still people looking for Peach Blossom Village? Red Medicine asked.

Su Jiuling was distracted, until now he felt that the things at that time were incredible, he said: "I used to be curious about whether Taohuayuan Village really existed, I checked all the information that could be found, made sufficient preparations, according to the traces of the ancestors over the years, I also went out to look for it a few times, but I didn't find it every time; This time, I didn't prepare at all, I didn't even have the dry food I needed for the road, I listened to the guidance of my inner voice, kept going, kept going, and I really found it. ”

Red Medicine said: "It's amazing! At that time, I thought that Su Gongzi went there specifically to enjoy the peony flowers! ”

She deliberately said that the red medicine she heard was a peony flower, just because she was afraid that Su Jiuling would misunderstand that she was being amorous.

Su Jiuling sat up excitedly and said, "The red medicine girl was by my side at that time? ”

"That's right, Su Gongzi is gentle with children!"

Early the next morning, Su Jiuling woke up early, he was lying motionless on the ground, but his ears were carefully watching the movement inside, and at this time, there was a knock on the door.

Su Jiuling opened the door lightly, it was Xiaoyu who came, she was holding a basin of washing water in her hand, Su Jiuling took the basin and ordered: "You go down, no one should come over without my summons." ”

Xiaoyu said: "Then Su Gongzi's breakfast ......" is obviously almost the time for lunch, but Su Gongzi has not started to eat breakfast yet, and he has not even washed up; Xiao Yu was puzzled by the sudden change that Su Gongzi had made.

Su Jiuling said: "Just wait for my notice." ”

Xiao Yu was suspicious of Su Gongzi's sudden strange behavior, and before leaving, she secretly glanced into the house, and when she entered, she saw the bed on the ground, Xiao Yu was shocked.

At this time, Su Jiuling had already closed the door, tiptoed to put the basin on the basin shelf, gently washed his hands and face, and then lay down on the bed again.

The sun was high, and there was still no movement in the room, Su Jiuling felt puzzled and anxious, and the unusual silence in the room made him feel uneasy, he was not sure if the red medicine was still in this room now.

Just as he was hesitating to shout twice, the sound of stretching his waist came from inside.

Su Jiuling said: "Red medicine girl! ”

Red Medicine said lazily: "Huh? When is it now? ”

Su Jiuling said: "It's just past the time. ”

Hongyao stretched a comfortable waist again, how long has it been since she slept in bed so comfortably as now, when she was at the Nai He Bridge, she almost didn't feel sleepy, and she didn't know the time, she sat at the head of the Nai River Bridge with Meng Po every day; After coming to the world, she became the little girl of the shogunate again, sleeping on a stiff wooden bed every day, not only the bed was not as comfortable as this, but the quilt on her body was not as comfortable, and she had to get up early every day to work.

Hongyao smiled: "It turns out that I have slept for so long!" ”

"You wash up first, and lunch will be ready in no time." Su Jiuling said inside through the screen.

At this time, the screen of the partition was opened, and what Su Jiuling saw was a clean and tidy bed.

"Wow, that's great, I slept until the sun dried my butt, and when I woke up, I had a fragrant meal to eat." Hongyao said with a smile as he walked towards the basin stand.

Su Jiuling smiled: "Are the injuries on your body better?" ”

Hongyao slapped her ass hard, and just wanted to say that it was already fine, but she didn't know that she used too much force, and her facial features were twisted together because her buttocks hurt.

The door was suddenly opened from the outside, and as soon as Nangong Yu entered the door, he said, "Jiuling, is there anyone else in your room?" As he spoke, he began to look everywhere.

Su Jiuling said seriously: "No." ”

The red medicine stopped next to the basin stand, holding his breath and concentrating, motionless, looking at Nangong Yu with nervous eyes.

"It's strange, I just heard someone talking outside, it's still a woman." Nangong Yu emphasized.

"You heard me wrong." Su Jiuling returned to a serious appearance.

"Forget it, no matter, the eldest young master of the shogunate family has come to the house to look for you, with his little wife, and the fourth lady of the shogunate."

"I see, you go out first."

"Won't you go out with me?"

"I've got some things I haven't done yet, so I'll get out as soon as I'm done. You take them to the side hall first, and say I'll be there soon. ”

Nangong Yuhu stared at him suspiciously for a while, and then turned to leave.
