Chapter 16: In the Peach Blossom Forest
Early the next morning, Du Ruo and Lin Yuanming went to Taohuachong's school, and the school situation was roughly the same as that of Qingshuao. On the way back, they went to the Peach Blossom Forest.
The peach blossoms are gorgeous and dazzling, with pink petals, tender yellow stamens, and the unique smell of the mountains.
Du Ruo looked at the peach blossoms in a daze, and an inexplicable sadness rose in his heart, feeling that the flowers were all stained by the woman's blood and tears. Suddenly, the figures of a woman in red and a man in white flashed in her mind, the woman was delicate and the man was handsome, and the two were planting a peach blossom.
"Guiyuan, you said that this peach blossom can survive, it's not that no one has planted it here before, and it hasn't grown, and it is said that this place is only suitable for planting green trees." The woman leaned down and stroked the little peach tree and asked.
"That's the wrong way to plant, you see I brought this soil with me, I believe that covered with this layer of soil, it will soon adapt to the environment here." The man stroked the woman's delicate face, "When I am away, you must take care of this peach tree, and when it blooms the next spring, I will be back, you must remember to miss me." ”
"Then you bring this, this is our family's ancestral jade pendant, called 'Xiangzhi', it is a pair of mandarin duck jade pendants. My grandmother gave it to me at my ceremony, saying that I could give it to the man I loved when I found him. We will give you one piece, and we will give you this piece, and we will never be separated in the future. The woman's misty eyes were filled with the sweetness of love.
The man took the jade pendant in his arms, his emotional eyes were full of the delicate face of the beloved girl, and kissed her forehead, "When I come back, I will marry you." After saying that, he reluctantly left.
Then, the woman came to take care of the little peach tree every day, loosening the soil, watering it, and talking to it, "Little peach tree, little peach tree, you have to fight for me to grow up quickly, and next spring give me peach blossoms, and he will come back." ”
Under the woman's careful care, the little peach tree grew day by day, and the next spring it really bloomed, and the woman was so happy that she giggled at the peach tree, and her lover was about to return, and she even began to imagine the scene when she became his bride.
But the man didn't come back as he said, she waited, waited, and when the peach blossom was about to thank her, she waited for the jade pendant and a letter sent back. The letter said that the man had taken refuge in Buddhism, and he had broken through his past life and this life, saying that he was originally a person in Buddhism, and he was destined to cultivate the Buddha and attain the Tao.
The woman was heartbroken and fainted under the peach tree.
"Du Ruo, Du Ruo, what's wrong with you? Why did you cry? Lin Yuanming hugged Du Ruo, whose shoulders trembled from crying.
Du Ruocai came back to his senses, "I'm sorry, Lin Yuanming, I seem to have had a dream just now." ”
"A dream, what dream?"
"I dreamed of the plot of that story, and I saw the process of a woman being separated from her beloved man here, and then her love was shattered and she was heartbroken."
"Don't think about it, it's okay, that kind of tragedy won't happen to you, I will protect you well."
"Could that be my past life, that woman is me in my previous life?"
"No matter what, it's all in the past, don't get entangled, Du Ruo, you have to believe in this life, if you give me a chance to love you, I believe that I will cherish you well, I believe that I can shelter you from the wind and rain, and I will never let you suffer the slightest harm."
After experiencing the unforgettable hurt of "previous life", Du Ruo didn't want to wait blindly in this life, she wanted to find someone who loved her in this life, and looked at Lin Yuanming with a sincere face for a while, and a voice in her heart was telling her that maybe this man could give her a lifetime of support, she let go of her previous hesitation, and nodded at Lin Yuanming, "I think, we can try to date." ”
"Du Ruo, you finally promised me!" Lin Yuanming hugged Du Ruo tightly, "Do you know, from the first time I saw you, I don't know why you attracted me, I really want to get close to you and talk to you, I really want to protect you." ”
Du Ruo looked at him with some surprise, his clear eyes were looking at Lin Yuanming's affectionate eyes, Lin Yuanming gently closed his eyes and kissed her lips.
She was a little uncomfortable with this sudden kiss, and was stunned for a moment, but fortunately, Lin Yuanming didn't linger for a long time and let go.
"Come on, let's take pictures, such a beautiful scenery, don't miss it." Lin Yuanming, who had fulfilled his long-cherished wish, happily took out his mobile phone to take a photo of Du Ruo. He also made a wreath out of peach blossoms and put it on Du Ruo's head, "It's so beautiful, well, Ruo'er, this peach blossom forest is designed for you." Lin Yuanming praised from the bottom of his heart.
Du Ruo smiled and sighed: "The Peach Blossom Forest is a poignant place, and the woman is buried here, I would rather there never be this forest here." ”
……
When they were tired of filming and playing, they rested under the peach tree.
"Close your eyes and give you a gift." Lin Yuanming blinked.
Du Ruoyi closed his eyes, and when he opened his eyes, he found that there was an extra platinum chain with a lot of value in his hand.
"This is my first time giving you a gift, do you like it?"
"Well, it's beautiful, it seems to suit me very well, thank you."
"Don't take it off casually in the future, keep it safe!"
"Of course."
