Ouyang Xiao, who had regained his fighting spirit, picked up the trident, walked out of the chivalrous hall, and waved it sonorously and vigorously in the moonlight and cold wind.

For a long time, he had been practicing profusely. With a squeak, the door of the gym was suddenly pushed open, Ouyang Xiao put down the halberd, turned around to look, and a clear glimmer of light shot into the courtyard.

In the faint light, a long black skirt gradually appeared, long, and half-covered with a pipa.

The long skirt fluttered with Xiao Xiao's cold wind, Ouyang Xiao watched quietly, he seemed to see the river of his hometown, flowing under the rising morning light.

The girl walked out of the hall, and with a gesture, the moonlight softened.

"Shaoxia, it's not too early, come in and rest. ”

The girl's round and jade voice was like a warm and gentle silk, wrapped around Ouyang Xiao's whole body, and the cold wind howled outside the court, but his whole body was full of warmth.

The candlelight in the hall spilled into the courtyard, the door was completely opened, and Ouyang Xiao slowly raised his head, this was the first time he looked at Jing Tao seriously. The two looked at each other, graceful and clear, and smiling.

Ouyang Xiao nodded and followed her into the gym.

Only then did she know that Jing Tao had already heard about Ouyang Xiao from the master's mouth, and she wanted to walk out of the bedroom several times, and returned to the room several times, she didn't know how to face Ouyang Xiao like this.

Now that the awkward situation had been resolved, she asked about the war in the canyon.

"On that day, with the careful advice of the master, I finally finished studying the book and meditated on the table. I vaguely felt the natural energy around me, so I was overjoyed and wanted to share the news with my master and brother. But I knocked on the door of both of them, but there was no response. I happened to meet the innkeeper in the promenade, and he told me that the two were fighting against the Shu army in the canyon south of the village. ”

Ouyang Xiao said, still can't help but hang his head, he still hasn't completely come out of this shadow.

"Oh. I see. So you're going to go to the canyon six miles away by yourself?"

"When I heard the news, I was very unwilling. As Jing Ru's apprentice and Dongfang Mu's junior disciple, I want to fight side by side with them!"

Ouyang Xiao clenched his fists, stared ahead, only courage and firmness in his pupils, and continued: "I went to the canyon alone in the direction pointed by the shopkeeper, and found that there was indeed a war going on. When I got closer, Senior Brother Mu was being chased by hundreds of horses. ”

"So you're standing in front of him with your flesh, aren't you afraid of death?"

Ouyang Xiao lowered his head, was silent for a while, and said, "I'm afraid." Of course I'm afraid. I still have unfulfilled wishes, how can I die like this. ”

"But you know that you have not yet learned the power of a ranger, and fighting hundreds of soldiers and horses with your own strength is like hitting a stone with an egg. ”

"I know. But ......" Ouyang Xiao lowered his head, and Jing Tao beside him was staring at him with big eyes like stars, waiting for him to continue to say something.

"But the body still moves involuntarily. ”

As he spoke, Ouyang Xiao suddenly raised his head, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and his eyes seemed to be shining.

"Do you do it when you know you can't do it...... People are stupid to the point where they can sometimes ......"

Jing Tao's eyelids slowly drooped, and in the candlelight, the shadow of her eyelashes fell on the lying silkworm, still smiling, and continued: "I know the outcome of the matter better than anyone else, but I still ......move forward desperately."

Jing Tao's eyes were also shining, she was moved by Ouyang Xiao's spirit, but at the same time, she also thought of his senior brother, Dongfang Mu.

One day four years ago, the sun was shining, the sky was cloudless, the sky was as blue as the sea, the emerald green mountains were steep, and it was a peaceful and stable scene.

There was nothing special on this day, six-year-old Jing Tao was still sitting in the bedroom in the gym as usual, painting.

Outside the gym is a vast peach orchard, and every spring, the peach trees stretch out countless branches, and the buds and stamens are cultivated into a piece, like the colorful glow on the horizon, crowding the entire branch.

Open the window, the refreshing fragrance of flowers wafts into the bedroom, which is the fragrance of peach blossoms that makes people can't help but reverie.

To the east are the stables with white ceilings, where sturdy horses graze. There is a clear sky in the west, and the side of the ridge is a peak, and the breeze is blowing, and the air is filled with dandelion petals.

She wants to use a paintbrush to record the growth of this peach orchard.

On this day, the hundreds of rangers in the gym returned with the sunset as usual. Jing Tao went out lightly to greet him, and his grandfather was still at the end, but he found that he was holding a young man of the same age as himself in his hand.

A breeze of the summer solstice lingers, the pink peach blossoms dance with the wind, and the blue birds on the branches suddenly begin to sing.

Among the swaying vines, the figure of the young man gradually approached, until he walked into Jing Tao's eyes that were no longer settled, and the heart that was surging like the sunset on the horizon.

The young man was dressed in a purple and black robe, wearing a brass short sword at his waist, and the bridge of his nose as straight as a bamboo faintly appeared, and the melancholy apricot eyes under the sharp sword eyebrows seemed to have fallen a heavy snow in his world, which made people can't help but want to protect.

This young man is Dongfang Mu. He walked slowly past Jing Tao's side, not leaving an inch of gaze. But in the few minutes after turning around, it has been a hundred years in her heart.

Until now, spring goes to autumn, the world is like this, the breeze is still indulgent, every morning when you open the window, see this splendid peach orchard, Jing Tao's eyes will always be glowing with Dongfang Mu when they first met.

Whenever this happens, a happy smile appears on the corner of her mouth.
