Chapter 176: Peach Blossom Cave

Peach Blossom Pass is within the range of Qingqiu Mountain, in the lowest reaches of the Yingshui River, and east of Kewei Mountain, which is the only place to go there.

Mizuhiro and Twilight follow the mountain trail, but instead of rushing to Mt. Keo, they go to a place called Peach Blossom Cave. It is the burial place of the villagers of Taohuaao, and there is even the burial of Taogu.

Shui Hao can not go to see other villagers, but he can't go to Taohuaao to worship Taogu.

That poor woman, Shui Hao felt a pain in his heart every time he thought about the way she gave up her body to block herself.

"Brother, why did you say that my mother-in-law told us to come and see Aunt Tao?" came Twilight's muffled voice from the path.

Shui Hao looked at Twilight Chi, who had dried peaches in his hands and mouth, and shook his head helplessly.

The old woman saw that the two of them liked it, and took out all the storage, which was probably part of the old woman's rations. But Shui Hao didn't refuse, and he couldn't either. This is a piece of the old woman's heart.

However, he quietly released the sound crane and asked Tu Shan Huanhuan to arrange for the Dharma in the clan to send food and some daily necessities to Peach Blossom Pass.

It was his negligence before, but now that he knows, he will not allow the villagers to starve and suffer.

Although the old woman agrees with him and Twilight to leave quietly, she repeatedly tells the two brothers to go and see Aunt Tao no matter what. Shui Hao naturally agreed, he was going to go there.

It's just that what makes Shui Hao strange is that this is not in line with the old woman's character. She never took the initiative to ask Shui Hao for anything, for fear of adding trouble to Shui Hao, but this time she was extremely resolute.

The expression on her face was so strange, with curiosity, anticipation, and a hint of inquiry.

"Brother, the rain has stopped. Twilight dissipated the astral boundary on her body, and said in a loud voice.

At this time, the morning sun has already risen. The light shone directly through the clouds, and Shui Hao couldn't help but squint his eyes slightly.

The peach blossom cave after the rain is even more delicate and moving. There are unknown birds on the branches on both sides, the green feathers are still wet, and they are singing, and the ground is in disarray. Far and near, large and small peaks, blue as freshly washed.

Surrounded by a tall peach tree, the body of the tree is green, like jade, between the branches and green leaves, the peach blossoms are delicate and pink.

The tombs are large or small, new or old, which are hidden in this light pink.

According to legend, the peach blossoms in this peach blossom cave are precisely because of the simplicity of the villagers, and they can't bear to lose.

Shui Hao and Twilight didn't stop until they walked in front of the newest tomb. That tomb is where Taogu is buried.

To Shui Hao's surprise, there was not even a single weed around the tomb, and there was a bouquet of flowers in front of the inscription.

Although the flowers are wildflowers around the Peach Blossom Pass and are wet and scattered by the rain, it can still be seen that they have been carefully selected. But apparently not the villagers in Peach Blossom Pass.

"Brother, is there anything wrong?" Twilight Chi asked curiously when she saw Shui Hao looking at the flowers in front of the inscription in a daze.

Shui Hao shook his head slightly, he took out three sticks of incense from the storage space and lit them in front of the inscription. Later, he and Twilight fell down in front of Yinggu's grave.

Shui Hao's eyes were red, and he said in a trembling voice: "Mother, the child has come to see you." ”

Shui Hao will never forget the scene when Tao Gu stood in front of her without hesitation, and her eyes were so gentle when she looked at her.

Suddenly, there was a sound of squirming footsteps, faintly coming from the peach forest, Shui Hao and Twilight Chi couldn't help but lift their spirits, and subconsciously raised their eyes to look at the forest.

The next moment, the eyes of the two brothers widened, and they looked at the figure that appeared in the forest in disbelief.

She is dressed in plain clothes, lightly applying powder, moisturizing like fat, with a pair of long and charming eyes, two points intoxicating, three points seductive, and five points enchanting. A red fox with three tails slumped behind her.

The woman had apparently spotted the two brothers as well, and her eyes were also incredulous, and the bouquet in her hand had fallen to the ground by mistake.

Shui Hao couldn't help but be stupid, and Twilight Chi on the side had a thoughtful look.

I don't know how long it took, the woman picked up the bouquet, 'poof' smiled, and said in a glutinous voice: "Why don't you know me?"

As she spoke, she even passed the two of them, leaned down to change the bouquet in front of the inscription, and then kowtowed her head and said softly, "Mother, You'er has come to see you again." ”

"What do you call her?" Shui Hao was suddenly startled and said in a lost voice.

"I called her Mother! She died because of me, and I came here to accompany her and atone for her sins. Hu You'er got up slowly, her expression solemn, "Also, Peach Blossom Pass doesn't need the intervention of the Shui Yi clan and the Tushan clan cultivators, let alone the food they send to eat. ”

"It turns out that you did all this! How do you know that I want them to bring food?" Shui Hao looked at Hu You'er in surprise.

The eyes of the two met in mid-air, feeling the burning heat in Hu Youer's eyes, Shui Hao hurriedly looked away. Thinking that Aunt Tao died because of the girl in front of her, I only felt extremely irritable in my heart.

Hu Youer sighed in her heart, but still explained softly: "Sooner or later, you will find that everyone in Taohuaao is short of food and clothing, and with your personality, you will definitely arrange all this." However, the villagers in the peach blossom pass are simple, and they will definitely not enjoy your gift with peace of mind. ”

Hu You'er's voice stopped, and she seemed to hesitate for a moment before continuing: "So I lied to the villagers that those spirit foxes were their children. After they approve of the spirit fox, let them take it to eat from time to time. ”

Shui Hao couldn't help but be stunned, and then suddenly, he secretly praised Hu Youer's thoughtfulness in his heart. His gaze at Hu You'er also softened.

"Miss You'er, thank you!" Shui Hao said sincerely.

Seeing Hu Youer's eyes turbulent, his lips moved lightly, as if he wanted to say something, and finally only turned into a smile.

This smile was full of peach blossoms in an instant, Shui Hao only felt that the already irritable heart in his chest skipped a few beats uncompetitively, and when he finally calmed down, he heard Hu You'er's trembling voice.

"Brother Shui Hao, can you forgive me?"

Hu Youer clutched the corners of his clothes with both hands, and his eyes were full of apprehension and uneasiness when he looked at Shui Hao.

Shui Hao's body froze suddenly, and his eyes shook violently. His ears seemed to ring again, and Tao Gu's words before she was devoured: "Child...... Just let me cover you once. I'm just a mother at the moment. ”

At that moment, there was not the slightest panic in Taogu's eyes, but a kind of relief and relief.

At that moment, Shui Hao's heart throbbed spasmally, just like now.

The Peach Blossom Grotto suddenly became silent, and everyone's eyes fell on Shui Hao, even the three-tailed fox.

I don't know how long it took......

"I know!" Hu You'er's face was pale, without a trace of blood, and there was even more despair in his voice.

"I killed her. I know you'll never forgive me. Hu You'er's voice was unusually bitter.

No one noticed that a small fox spear was quietly held in her hand.

She raised her head, and her gaze fell heavily on Shui Hao, as if she wanted to imprint the appearance of the boy in front of her firmly in her heart.

"I'll give you my life back now......"

Hu You'er suddenly snorted, and the fox spear in his hand thrust into his chest.

"No ......"

Shui Hao's eyes were about to split, and he rushed towards Hu You'er desperately. But he realized it later, and he could only watch the fox spear get closer and closer to Hu You'er's chest.

At the critical moment, he suddenly stretched out a big hand and firmly grabbed Hu Youer's wrist.

"Kitsune, this is not like you I know. Are you really willing to die in front of Brother A, and watch him live in regret and self-blame in the future?" said Twilight fiercely, snatching the fox spear from Hu You'er's hand.

It turned out that Twilight found that Hu Youer's expression was wrong, so she kept staring at her secretly, so she saved Hu Youer in time.

"Whew!"

The red fox also reacted, she first looked at Hu You'er with concern, her eyes were full of worry, and then she turned around and barked at Shui Hao with her teeth bared.

"Stupid fox, are you embarrassed to scream? If Lao Tzu hadn't made a timely move just now, your You'er would have turned into a corpse. ”

"Whoa......" the red fox retorted with little confidence.

Twilight turned her head and ignored the red fox, instead looking at Shui Hao.

"Brother, in fact, you also know that when the Nine-Tailed Sky Fox sheltered the Peach Blossom Pass, it was a transaction for the villagers to use their own children to raise the Soul Devouring Blood Fox. Although the women were kept in the dark, the men certainly knew. It's their common choice.

At that time, we were not familiar with each other, but it was still a hostile relationship. We ruined the deal first, and Hu Youer killed Taogu by mistake. ”

Twilight sighed lightly and continued, "Brother, if we get along in a different place, we may not do better than Hu You'er. She has really done enough, and my mother-in-law must know that she is here, and she must know her friendship for you, otherwise she would not have repeatedly told us to come here to worship Taogu. ”

"Don't talk about it, Twilight. I know that Brother Shui Hao hates me to death. I have no worries in this world. It's good to be dead......"

"No, I don't want you to die!" Shui Hao suddenly said.

"What did you say?"

Shui Hao looked at Hu You'er and said seriously: "Hu You'er, I don't want you to die." Never thought of it that way. ”

"Will you forgive me?"

Shui Hao sighed lightly: "Twilight is right, you can't be blamed for all this, but you have done so much for Peach Blossom Pass." Even better than I did!"

"Brother Shui Hao, thank you for forgiving me. Thank you very much. You'er has lost her father and mother, what should I do if I lose you again?"

Hu You'er whispered, and her tears finally burst out of her eyes, like an injured child finally crying. The grief of losing her parents could no longer be endured, and she threw herself into Shui Hao's arms, crying loudly and choking in her mouth.

"You won't lose me. Shui Hao said softly, hugging very gently, but his arms tightened involuntarily, "In the blood map of mountains and rivers, I promised Xiaobai to take good care of you." ”
