February 12, Hundred Flowers Festival.

Folklore February 12 is the birthday of a hundred flowers, people call it the flower dynasty, this day a hundred flowers revived, competing for beauty, it is the day when the god of flowers swallows the essence of heaven and earth, people believe that this day out to enjoy the flowers will get the gift of the god of flowers, the people who pity the flowers, will naturally get a different marriage of heaven.

On the Weishui River, a flat boat rowed by, and the water surface rippled and slowly dissolved in all directions.

At the stern of the boat, an old man with gray hair with a hat and a slender penny was propped up, under the scorching sun, sweat was running on his dark cheeks, he pinched his sleeve, wiped his face slightly, and then reminded the girl sitting at the bow of the boat: "Girl, not far ahead is the boundary of Peach Blossom Village." ”

The girl at the bow of the boat stood up slightly when she heard this, and looked into the distance in a daze, and for a while, her eyes were a little blurred.

"Girl, are you going back to your hometown to visit relatives?" the old man asked a little strangely when he looked at her.

The girl came back to her senses with an "ah", turned her back to the old man, and gently wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, "Well, sort of, I haven't been back for many years." ”

"Now that I'm back, I'll stay longer. The old man persuaded.

"Hmm. The girl nodded, looked at the familiar scenery by the river, and said with a smile. ”

The two of them chatted casually, but their interest was not high, and when the boat came to a ferry, the girl got out of the boat with the package on her back and stepped on the slightly wet and muddy earth.

The boat slowly returned, and the girl stood still, closed her eyes, and took a deep breath.

Suppressing the anxiety in her heart, she carried the corner of her skirt and walked on the familiar country road, thinking about things thousands of miles away.

That night, the man named Liuye was killed in Honghu Tower, although someone interrogated her a few words afterwards, but for some reason, she was not affected by the matter itself, and then Honghu Tower was burned to ashes by a fire, she sold some jewelry, hired a carriage by a friend, and traveled a long way from Baiyun City to the bank of the Weishui River, which haunted her soul.

In fact, if it weren't for the reason of this incident, she might not have the opportunity to leave the Honghu Tower, thinking about it, in fact, she should be grateful to that person, but through a layer of screens, she didn't see the appearance of the other party, and she felt a little regret in her heart, thinking like this, the outline of Peach Blossom Village has gradually become clear, she gathered some thoughts, and slowly walked to an adobe house surrounded by a wooden fence at the head of the village.

Gently pushing open the courtyard door, she paused, and suddenly looked a little overwhelmed, for so many years, she had almost cut off the news from her family, whether her parents' health was good, whether her brother's illness was cured, she didn't know these things very well, she was very afraid to walk into the house, but what she saw was the scene she didn't want to see.

Hesitating slightly, she pushed open the door, the neat house was still warm, she breathed a sigh of relief, looked around, touched familiar things, and found that the home had not changed much from when she left.

But where did my parents and younger brother go?

Blinking her eyes blankly, she saw the shrine enshrined on the incense case, and suddenly thought that today is the annual Hundred Flowers Festival, and this day every year is the day when the peach blossom village worships the god of flowers, and at this time, the men, women and children of the whole village should hold a grand ceremony in the peach blossom forest in the back mountain.

Thinking of this, she hurriedly pushed the door out and trotted all the way towards the peach blossom forest in the back mountain.

According to legend, hundreds of years ago, the peach blossoms on this hill emerged overnight for dozens of miles, and the villagers have always thought that this is the gift of the god of flowers to the small fishing village, so they do not forget to go to the back mountain to worship during the Hundred Flowers Festival every year, and after a long time, this custom has been passed down from generation to generation.

At this time, the peach blossoms all over the mountains have already bloomed, the petals are like clotted fat, bright red like blood, there is no end in sight, such as a sea of flowers, gorgeous and extraordinary.

She walked through the peach blossoms, looking for a possible figure, but the peach blossom forest was too big, looking for a long time, there was no trace of a person, she was a little deflated holding a peach tree, bowed her head and gasped slightly.

"Little sister, what are you looking for?"

The sound was accompanied by the fragrance of flowers, she suddenly turned around, and found that there was a woman in a red robe standing behind her, the woman's skin was like jade, her appearance was beautiful, and she was as extraordinary as the fairy in the painting, she stared at each other for a long time, until she found that something seemed to be wrong, and then she slightly restrained herself.

The woman's hair was extremely long, her shiny hair hung down to her ankles, and her wide red robe dragged on the ground, as if she hadn't heard the other party's inquiry, just squinted a pair of peach blossom eyes, and looked at her quietly.

This kind of gaze is very bland, plain not like human eyes, Peach Blossom took a step back slightly, she found that the other party's gaze seemed to be able to see through her, there was a feeling as if all thoughts were leaking under the cold winter, her back was cold, and every hair stood up involuntarily.

"Well, since that's ...... Since you don't know, I'd better find it myself. ”

She smiled brightly, looked a little flustered, turned around quickly, trotted all the way, until she ran a distance of almost a mile, and felt that she was probably far away from the strange woman, so she turned her head to look, and at this look, she was so frightened that she took a step back, and tripped something on her heel, and she fell to the ground at once, and the side of her palm was cut by a blade of grass A scarlet cut.

"Are youβ€”Are you a human or a ghost?"

She didn't have time to pay attention, and pressed her heels back hard with her injured hand, trying to distance herself from the woman.

But it didn't work, the woman was like a ghost that couldn't be shaken off, her feet floated over without touching the ground, and when she got closer, Peach Blossom found that the red robe on the woman's body was delicate, and the wet thing slowly seeped out, her pupils contracted impressively, and she screamed in fright, and her heart seemed to jump out in an instant.

The red robe was not the original color at all, but was stained with blood, and the tail of the six- or seven-meter-long skirt dragged on the ground, and the wet blood stains continued to seep out, and the bloody atmosphere was pervasive and disgusting.

"Y-You don't come here...... No...... Ah......h

Her whole person floated uncontrollably, the red-robed woman gently stretched out a very beautiful hand, her fingers hooked, she flew over involuntarily, the woman's slender fingertips caressed the peach blossom's face lovingly for a while, and then slowly opened her red lips and asked: "You...... What's your name?"

The woman's lips were almost on her face, and the peach blossom shrunk, but she found that she couldn't struggle, her body was uncontrollable, and the terrifying pressure enveloped her, like an ant frozen in mid-air.

"Iβ€”My name is ...... Peach blossom. Her body trembled uncontrollably.

"Good. ”

I don't know whether to say that she is a very good person, or that her name is very good, the woman suddenly smiled, the world was discolored, dozens of miles of peach blossoms fell colorful, swept into a terrifying rain of petals, the petals floated in the air, the woman stretched out a hand slightly, the five fingers condensed, there was a broken gold-like light emanating from between the fingers, and the petals began to rotate around her.

"From now on, you are my flower slave. ”

The woman opened her mouth slightly, and pressed her palm lightly towards the peach blossom, and countless petals wrapped her as if crazy, and scarlet blood flowed from the gaps between the petals, and a howl like a beast came out from the flower ball......

The peach trees on the hill withered, as if they had been drained of nutrients, and in an instant they turned to ashes, and the breeze blew through the dead leaves on the ground, revealing a covered skull, which cracked its teeth as if it were smirking......
