Ruibei cried and said, "Don't care who said it, you tell me what it is?" ”

Xia Ruixi couldn't hold back, so he had to say: "First bitter and then sweet, there may be a little unpleasantness, but it will be fine in the end." ”

"Is that true? Bitter first and then sweet, is it sweet when you have to eat bitter first, isn't it? What do you think I will suffer? Will you still marry the Sun family? Will it be good to marry that tuberculosis ghost and endure all the hardships? ”

Who can say what fate is? Xia Ruixi thought so, but comforted her in her mouth: "No matter what, as long as it is good in the end." ”

Xia Ruibei was silent for a moment, and squeezed out a smile: "Second sister, I arrived late yesterday, and I haven't seen the peach blossom beauty here." It's still early at this time, and there aren't many pilgrims, so let's go to the woods and have a look? When I go back to Xijing in the future, I also have something to say to my mother. I'm already very unhappy, I can't just go back without seeing anything good, right? ”

Xia Ruixi originally wanted his feet to hurt and didn't want to walk. Seeing Xia Ruibei's wilting appearance, she didn't want to spoil her interest, so she responded. Wan'er heard that she was going out with Xia Ruibei, and she was slowly packing up Xia Ruixi's clothes, Xia Ruixi understood that she didn't want to go with Xia Ruibei, and thought that she was really tired yesterday and was wronged, so she said: "I have to go down the mountain early tomorrow morning, Wan'er will stay and pack up my things, and Chun'er will go with me." ”

Wan'er happily agreed, and Xia Bei also said: "Then Yan'er will also go back to collect my things, and the aunt of the province will find something to say again." ”

The two of them only took Er and Xin'er two personal maids, and let three or four rough mothers-in-law follow them far away, and walked along the path to the peach blossom forest. The peach blossom forest is misty and misty, the wild grass is verdant, the birds are chirping, and the falling flowers are colorful, which is indeed very beautiful, and it is worthy of the reputation of one of the eight views of the capital.

There are already other tourists in the peach blossom forest, and those who are curious always stare at the two Xia Ruixi sisters. Xia Ruibei frowned and said, "It's rude to annoy some people!" Xia Ruixi said: "Let's go to a place where there are few people, don't look at them, right?" ”

People deliberately looked for a place with few people, Xia Ruibei found some interesting stories about her sisters and brothers when they were young, and told Xia Ruixi that before they knew it, several people were getting farther and farther away from the temple. When Xia Ruixi felt that her feet hurt, Ruibei pointed to the distance in surprise and said, "The flowers over there are much redder than those over here." Could it be the peach they say? ”

"Peach?" Xia Ruixi looked up. I saw a winding brook and a valley that was not earthy. There is a sea of flowers. The color is redder and more vivid than the pink here. I don't know what kind of flower it is.

Xia Ruibei said: "Yes. That is called the peach peach, which is redder and more colorful than other varieties of ground peach. The petals are double-turned. The flowering period is also longer. It's a pity that it doesn't bear fruit. In the whole of Daqin, there is only one here. The rest of the place is invisible. ”

Xia Ruixi was interested when he heard it. "How do you know the ground? There are no seeds. How do you grow saplings from other places? "Could it be that there is already grafting technology at this time?

Xia Ruibei said mysteriously: "I heard the monks in the temple talk about the land. Legend has it that a husband and wife fled to this place. His wife fell seriously ill and died. The husband was devastated. Bury her under a peach tree, and weep bitterly. Died of weeping blood. After his death. The peach blossom is very beautiful. The special red petals are also double. Unfortunately, it didn't work out. The first presiding officer of the Ten Thousand Buddhas Temple was grafted on other peach trees for decades because the master took its branches and grafted them on other peach trees. It became this peach blossom forest. ”

The legend doesn't care if it's true or false. The peach blossom is only used for ornamental purposes, Xia Ruixi has seen the land in modern times, I don't know if this Daqin's so-called peach is similar to that? Xia Ruixi visually measured the distance. That sea of flowers is not far from here. They are not a small number of people. He proposed, "Shall we go over and have a look?" ”

Xia Ruibei hesitated: "Forget it." It's too far. It's remote again. Or don't go. If my aunt had found out, she would have scolded us. ”

Xia Ruixi was aroused: "Obviously, you called me out, but now it's disappointing." Actually, it's not too far, but it can be walked in a quarter of an hour, and there are many of us, so it won't be like it if we just look at it for a while. ”

"But don't you have a sore foot?"

"I can stand it!" Xia Ruixi couldn't help but say, first lift his feet and move forward. Xia Ruibei hesitated, but still followed. Crossing the stream, crossing the small valley, and entering the peach blossom forest, "pop", Chun'er stepped on a dead branch, and Xia Ruibei grabbed Xia Ruixi's hand, "Let's go back, right?" There is not a single shadow here.

What if there were bad guys and beasts? ”

Her palms were cold, full of cold sweat, Xia Ruixi was a little funny when she saw her so nervous, thinking that it was Miss Jiao who didn't go out of the door, and five or six people followed, and she was afraid of being like this. This place is close to the mountain temple, there are so many pilgrims, where are there so many bad people and beasts? Then he said perfunctorily: "Don't be afraid, where are there so many bad people and beasts?" I took a cursory look and left, but I didn't have a good look here, don't you think it's a pity? ”

Xia Ruibei looked around, and sure enough, it was quiet, there was nothing, and she breathed a sigh of relief: "That."

Son, let's break a few flowers and leave? ”

"Got it." Xia Ruixi walked under a tree, broke off a peach blossom, and observed carefully, only to see that the petals were dense and delicate, red and delicate, and there were two thin small leaves in the center of the flower, exactly the same as the one she had seen in her previous life.

"Hehe, enjoy the flowers, enjoy the flowers, why are you so spicy to destroy the flowers?" A man in front of him walked out chuckling.

When Xia Ruixi heard this voice, he couldn't help but stand up with cold hairs all over his body, and when he looked up, Zhao Mingtao was wearing a brocade robe with white dark lines, shaking a folding fan, with a gentle smile on his face, looking at her affectionately, standing under the peach blossom tree and pretending to be dashing: "Xixi, this is your third sister?" It's called Beibei, right? ”

Xia Ruibei's face was so red that she was dripping blood, and hid behind Xia Ruixi: "Isn't this the noble person we met last time?" Do you know him? Why are you calling me by name? I told you not to come, you want to come. ”

Xia Ruixi knew very well that Ming Tao suddenly appeared here, he was definitely uneasy and kind, he regretted it at the moment, he didn't dare to answer, and hurriedly turned around and walked back: "How did I know that he would be here?" If I want to know, I won't come. Let's just ignore him, let's go. ”

"Hee-hee, don't go." Zhao Mingtao stood in front of them, "I have a lot to say to you." I helped you fulfill your wish to burn incense, don't you thank me? ”

Although Xia Ruixi knew who the noble man that Master Xia had asked for help was, he understood that it was absolutely impossible for Master Xia to ask Zhao Mingtao for help. She took a step back and said with a cold face: "The pure place of Buddhism, don't do such rude things. Then he called out to the mother-in-law to come and surround the two sisters to retreat.

Zhao Mingtao's goal was not achieved, where was he willing to let her, with his chin raised, several strong men came out of the peach forest, covered the mouths of his mother-in-law and maid and dragged them to the side. For a while, the chickens flew and the dogs jumped, just as they met the strongman who kidnapped the ticket. This group of people was fierce and vicious, scared a group of women with colorless faces, weak legs and dizziness, and those who wanted to run and shout, were drawn by a few loud slaps and the corners of their mouths were bloody, and they only dared to cry in a low voice. Soon, they were all driven to one place by Zhao Mingtao's people, squatting on the ground with their heads in their hands, and anyone who dared to move or make a little sound was a merciless punch and kick. Chun'er, the most dishonest, was even tied up, stuffed with a cloth in his mouth and thrown on the ground.

Ruibei was so frightened by this sudden change that her face was pale, her upper and lower teeth slammed, hiding behind Xia Ruixi and hugging her waist tightly and shaking into a ball. Xia Ruixi was also so scared that he couldn't do it, and said sharply to Zhao Mingtao: "What are you going to do?" The blue sky and white sun, next to the imperial city, in the pure place of Buddhism, do you dare to do this bullying and shameless and dirty thing? "He let her go of such a good opportunity last time, why is he so bold this time? Could it be that something happened to make him jump off the wall in a hurry?

Zhao Mingtao smiled gently: "Xixi, you are right, the blue sky and the white sun, next to the imperial city, in the quiet place of Buddhism, of course I will not do bullying and shameless and dirty things, what I want to do is a fair lady and a gentleman." ”

"Hello none!" Xia Ruixi was so scared that he was going to die, so he forced himself to calm down, "There are a lot of people who offer incense today, and there will be people who come to enjoy the flowers. ”

"You shouted? Do you think I'm going to do something I'm not sure about? Although it is not far from the mountain temple, it is not close, and it is too early at this time, and it can be regarded as inaccessible. ”

"Help! Help me! Xia Ruixi really shouted, but unfortunately only the empty peach blossom forest answered her. Why is this happening? Isn't this ruined temple full of incense? Why is no one here? Xia Ruixi looked at Zhao Mingtao stupidly.

"How? I didn't lie to you, did I? Zhao Mingtao took a step forward and said softly to Xia Ruibei: "Beibei, you go away, I have something to say to your second sister." ”

Xia Ruibei hugged Xia Ruixi's waist more and more, and shook her head desperately: "You...... What are you doing? ”

"I don't do anything, just a few words to her. Be obedient and wait for us over there for a while. ”

Xia Ruibei choked up and burst out with a sentence, "No, you're not a good person." If you want to harm my second sister, I will die and walk away. Xia Ruixi was taken aback by her performance like this, and she was also moved, this girl is still very sensible and caring at a critical moment, and she has to be kind to her in the future.

"You can't get out of the way!" Zhao Mingtao was impatient, and suddenly roared like thunder, and the Xia Ruixi sisters were startled, their hearts jumped to their throats, and they hugged each other. Xia Ruixi secretly scolded himself for being cowardly and uncompromising, while clenching the hairpin and shaking to Zhao Mingtao a few times: "Don't come over, if you dare to come, I will be unkind to you." ”

Xia Ruixi was very hesitant, she knew that this hairpin had no effect on this villain, could she also learn from others like others, put this hairpin on her neck and make a comparison, and force the other party to back down with death?
