In the next few days, Xia Chutao almost made up sleep during the day and practiced at night, and this situation lasted for almost seven days, and Xia Chutao felt that his whole body was sore.

But fortunately, Xia Chutao did feel that his situation was improving, and he gradually mastered the trick of light work.

Now that piece of plum blossom pile is no longer difficult, and the peach can come and go freely on it at the beginning of summer.

By the ninth day, the soreness on Xia Chutao's body had also dissipated.

Li Huanling, who brought the food, came in at this time, looked at Xia Chutao, who was lying on the bed and had just woken up, and couldn't help but ask curiously.

"You've been going out a lot lately, what are you going to do?"

Saying that, Li Huanling put the food on the table on the side, blinked and looked at the lazy Xia Chutao.

"I heard others say that it was the shopkeeper who pulled you to practice, is it true?"

At the beginning of summer, a carp got up from his bed, looking at his "nutritious meal" today, which was as rich as ever.

This point is still thoughtful by Peony, these foods are indeed a great help for Xia Chutao to maintain his physical strength, otherwise Xia Chutao will have to die of exhaustion at night sooner or later.

"Hey, what are you asking these for, it's not a good errand anyway, you look at the embarrassed way I look when I come back every day."

At the beginning of summer, the peach didn't say a word to eat, and every time I got up at this time, I was the hungriest time, but fortunately, the food was changing every day.

The cook of the Peony Pavilion is really a magical existence, and so far, the peach at the beginning of summer has not been eaten repeatedly.

"The shopkeeper said, if you ask more, I will arrest you."

Xia Chutao glared at Li Huanling, and scared Li Huanling so much.

Li Huanling thought that when she opened the door to Xia Chutao every morning, Xia Chutao's gray face still had stains, and she shook her head and felt that it was better to forget it.

She quickly pulled out the plate,

"Forget it, forget about such a thing, it's still comfortable in the Peony Pavilion."

Looking at Li Huanling, who was too late to run, Xia Chutao, who was eating, couldn't help but smile.

When the point comes, Peony will come to her room to find her, and gradually after a period of time together, Peony's attitude towards her is not so cold, and occasionally she can laugh with her, which makes Xia Chutao feel closer.

Tonight, for the first time, Peony did not take the peach at the beginning of summer to the plum blossom pile, but came to a calm and wide river.

Xia Chutao looked at this situation, and estimated that Peony was going to teach herself the latest things.

"You have been studying very seriously in the past few days, I have seen it in my eyes, and the plum blossom pile has laid a relatively solid foundation for you. However, if you want to practice light skills well, you still have to continue, and it is best to get up with the wind. ”

Xia Chutao naturally thought about Liu Hetong's light and free light skills, and compared to him now, he still looked a little clumsy.

"So how do you practice at this stage?"

Xia Chutao looked at the open river in front of him, and he didn't see how Peony was going to train himself.

Peony didn't speak, looked around, found a wooden piece the size of a human arm on the ground, and then threw it into the water.

As soon as the wood entered the water, it immediately floated up, floating silently on the calm water, only the ripples under the wood rippled.

Peony raised his chin and motioned to the early summer peach road,

"Go up."

Early Summer Peach: ???

Go to this wood? Why do you cross the river with a reed?

Xia Chutao looked at the driftwood that was simply helpless, and her scalp was numb, she just got off the stake, and Peony gave herself such a difficult advanced version?

Xia Chutao thought to herself, did you really follow the steps? Are you sure you didn't miss a step?

"This.... Not really, right? ”

Although Xia Chutao has made a small success, but in the face of such a difficult matter, Xia Chutao's heart still has no bottom.

She wasn't sure if she could stand on this driftwood, and she didn't even have the slightest doubt that it would sink as soon as she stood on it.

"This too.... It's too hard. ”

"Difficult?"

Peony raised her eyebrows, and then looked at the driftwood in confusion.

"Fang Zheng is not stepping on wood at this time, it is really a feather."

"A feather?"

When Xia Chutao thought of that picture, just a feather could make people support this kind of magical light skill on the water, did it really exist?

"This...."

Xia Chutao thought, okay, Fang Zheng can be that he is powerful, but she is absolutely not.

"Gave up?"

"Nope!"

Xia Chutao immediately replied without thinking, jokingly, she had already learned at this time, how could she be a turtle with a shrunken head to escape, this is impossible.

At the beginning of summer, Momo smiled wryly,

"I'll practice."

Peony didn't say anything, just snorted his mouth, and it was already obvious.

Xia Chutao looked at the driftwood and swallowed his saliva, this is really not ordinarily difficult.....

She finally mustered up the courage to take the first step, took out all the things she had learned in the past few days, and flew towards the driftwood so lightly.

Natsu Momo carefully put her feet on the driftwood, just when she thought she would be able to stand well-

"Boom-"

Unsurprisingly, she stepped directly on driftwood and fell into the water.

Peony:.....

"Peony! Save me! ”

Xia Chutao shouted for help while gurgling sound, drinking water in the water is really enough to drink.

She looked at Xia Chutao, who was fluttering blindly in the water, sighed faintly, and then a little foot, and the whole person came to Xia Chutao like a fluttering butterfly.

This whole process can really be said to be a dragonfly in the water, very light, Xia Chu Tao during the struggle to look at the peony such light work can't help but look straight eyes.

Peony glanced at Xia Chutao lightly, and then scooped her up, picked her up and threw her back to the shore.

"Hiss ....."

Although it was the beginning of spring, the river was still a little cold, and at the beginning of summer, Tao felt that he was shivering after returning to the shore.

"It's not that you can just stand on it, you have to figure out how to lift that breath in your belly."

Peony helplessly looked at Xia Chutao, who was trembling with her body, and said this faintly.

Xia Chutao blinked her eyes, endured the cold feeling on her body, and carefully thought about what Peony said in her head.

Peony looked at Xia Chutao's soaking wet, and finally took off the cloak on his body, and then directly draped it on Xia Chutao's body.

She also lit a bonfire afterwards and said lightly to Xia Chutao.

"That way, you won't feel dark here, and if it's cold, you'll have a fire by the fire."

I have to say that although Peony is very gentle in details, it is very strict about the practice of light skills in the early summer.

"Hmm...."

At the beginning of summer, the peach wrapped in a peony cloak came to the fire, so that he felt that his body was slowly warming.

Just when Xia Chutao wanted to raise her head and ask Peony something, she didn't know if Xia Chutao was wrong, she seemed to vaguely see the hideousness on Peony's face.

It seemed that it was because of the severe pain, but it was only a matter of moments, and the speed at which Peony's expression returned to normal made Xia Chutao even feel that he had seen it wrong.

The only thing that reminded Xia Chutao was that what he had just now was not an illusion, but the peony instantly turned a lot paler.

"You practice here slowly, I'll go back first, there are a lot of things to do in the Peony Pavilion tomorrow."

Before it was too late for Xia Chutao to see more clearly, Peony turned around, and Xia Chutao was able to notice that Peony covered his heart the moment he turned around.

Xia Chutao: Could it be that there is something unknown about the peony?

Xia Chutao's eyes have always been on Peony's body, until Peony's figure completely melted into a dark night, and she didn't know if it was Xia Chutao's illusion, she felt that Peony's figure tonight suddenly became thinner.

But this was also a thought for a while, and Xia Chutao's attention quickly refocused on his light skills.

....

When I returned to the Peony Pavilion the next day, it was still Li Huanling who opened the door.

Li Huanling glanced at the wet summer peach, and her face was even more surprised.

"You were covered in mud before, and now you're wet, what are you going to do?"

Xia Chutao could only smile bitterly, how could she tell Li Huanling that she had fallen into the water at least 20 times this night?

Even a fire burning on the shore at all times is not enough to bake one's clothes.

"Don't ask, I'm so tired...."

Xia Chutao waved her hand, she really didn't even have the strength to talk to Li Huanling.

Li Huanling looked at Xia Chutao's tired appearance, but she was still silent about the things at night and didn't chase after it.

"By the way, if the shopkeeper tells you to come back, go take a shower quickly, but don't catch the wind."

Xia Chutao didn't even look back, nodded and replied.

"Good.... Got it. ”

"Oh, by the way, the shopkeeper won't come out to take care of things these days, and there are some things that if you want to find the shopkeeper, it's better not to do it first."

Xia Chutao was stunned, and the steps on the soles of his feet were also stunned, and then he looked at Li Huanling behind him in confusion.

"Why? The shopkeeper is out? ”

Li Huanling said with some hesitation,

"Not really, it's just that the shopkeeper is like this for a few days every month, at least for a few days when he doesn't go out, and no one from the shopkeeper says anything, and we don't dare to snoop."

"Hey, don't ask so much, anyway, listen to me, don't go to the shopkeeper at this time."

Xia Chutao thought about it, but couldn't think of anything, but responded lightly.

"Okay, got it."
