Chapter 17: Emerald Leaves

The two of them lingered in the peach blossom forest for several hours, and when they were about to go back, Du Ruo glanced back at the peach blossom forest, and suddenly saw a road in the forest, and when he looked closely, the road disappeared again. She thought it was a hallucination, so she stopped paying attention to it.

A few years later, when she set foot in the peach blossom forest again, she realized that what she saw that time was not an illusion, which is not a later story.

Afterwards, they went to the Wangfu Stone at the top of the mountain. After thousands of years of baptism, except for some mud and green moss, the Wangfu stone has no weathering, and there is no trace of corrosion, Du Ruo and Lin Yuanming are very curious.

Du Ruo gently stroked the Wangfu Stone and muttered:

All day long, the husband does not return, and turns into a lonely stone and bitter lovesickness. It has been thousands of years, just like when I first looked at it.

After contemplating for a moment, several pictures popped up in Du Ruo's mind:

Two figures, one red and one white, sat beside the stone, and the woman in red stroked a green leaf, "Guiyuan, what do you say this jade leaf we found in the cave is for?" ”

"I don't know, I once heard my grandfather tell me that a long time ago, a treasure was lost in our clan, because the ancestral hall of the treasure clan was burned down, and the patriarch never came back because he was looking for the treasure. I asked what the treasure was, but no one could tell, and I guess the truth had been lost with the disappearance of the patriarch and the ancestral hall. The man in white said.

"When we found it in the cave, there were several corpses inside, could it be that they killed here to snatch this leaf, and this leaf could be the treasure that our clan lost back then?" The woman asked.

"It's hard to say, but I'm sure it's a very important thing, let's keep it quiet until we find out." The man said.

"Well, why don't we hide it here, and we'll study what it is together when we have time, it's a secret between the two of us." The woman said.

The man agreed, and the two hid it under the stone.

"Du Ruo, what's wrong with you?" Lin Yuanming shook his fingers in front of her eyes.

Du Ruo came back to his senses, "Lin Yuanming, you go find a stick, and we'll find something together." With that, she leaned down and removed the stones and grass from the top according to the position in the picture.

Although Lin Yuanming felt very surprised, he still found a stick according to his words, "What are you looking for?" ”

"A leaf, you dig here." Du Ruo said eagerly.

Because after a thousand years, the soil became compact, and the two dug for an hour, and finally dug up a rusty iron box.

"It's supposed to be, let's open it and try it." Du Ruo's face was full of anticipation.

Lin Yuanming cleaned up the mud debris on it and opened it.

"Sure enough, it's an emerald leaf!"

"How did you know this thing was hidden here?"

"I just had an image of them hiding treasure here."

"Who are they?"

"It's the legendary pair of lovers."

Lin Yuanming was stunned for a moment, and then said: "Du Ruo, don't tell anyone else about this matter first, since there is still a reason for people to hide it, let's slowly explore what it is in the future." ”

When they returned to their grandparents, it was time for dinner. Grandpa and Grandma were having dinner in the kitchen, and Du Ruo and Lin Yuanming went over to help. Du Ruo vaguely asked about the loss of the baby back then, because the age was too old, and the grandfather and grandmother had never heard of it, so Du Ruo had to give up.

At night, Lin Yuanming hugged Du Ruo, "Du Ruo, many incredible things have happened to you recently, first through the past, then in the past and present lives, and today is the jade leaf, I am so worried about you, I am so worried that God will snatch you away from me." ”

Du Ruo smiled and comforted him, "Don't think nonsense, there's nothing to worry about, no one can snatch me, and God can't, unless, you don't want me anymore." ”

Lin Yuanming immediately said, "Of course I won't leave you, I hope I can be with you every day." After a pause, he looked into Du Ruo's eyes, "Du Ruo, will you marry me?" ”

Du Ruo didn't expect Lin Yuanming to propose to her so soon, and his face was a little hesitant, "We'...... We've only been dating for a few days, and I'm not ready yet. ”

"You accepted all the gifts, didn't you promise me? You can't deny it. Lin Yuanming pinched Du Ruo's face.

"You've already planned it, waiting for the fish to take the bait." Du Ruo took his hand and said angrily.

Lin Yuanming grabbed her hand and kissed it, "Promise me, okay?" ”

Du Ruo was silent for a moment, and finally nodded.

Lin Yuanming's face was full of joy, and he hugged her tightly, "Go to bed early, tomorrow morning, we have to rush back." ”
