The convoy walked slowly forward through the noisy commotion, Mao Ming looked at the familiar decorations on the car, and had a little calculation in his heart.

As the sun set, the convoy came to the peach orchard, where the peach trees had turned pink, and the fragrance of flowers in the air was intoxicating.

"It's getting late, and it looks like we're going to have to take a break here tonight. Mo Yunting lifted the curtain and glanced out, turned his head to Xu Lianyi and said.

Xu Lianyi took a deep breath, happy in her heart, nodded with a smile on her face, and Mo Yunting also hooked the corners of her lips.

The carriage stopped at the gate of Taoyuan, and Mo Yunting helped Xu Lianyi to carefully get out of the carriage, and the dim sunlight shone on people's faces, as if they were plated with a layer of gold.

"I didn't expect Taoyuan to become so beautiful, and it really has a sense of paradise. Xu Lianyi looked at the peach blossoms blooming under the golden light, with surprise on her face.

Mo Yunting saw that she liked it, and his eyes were also dyed with a little pleasure, he gently put his arm around her shoulders and looked at the patches of pink in the distance.

Mu Lanji looked at the pair of people in front of him, and his face showed a little teasing, "Are we going to stand at the door and enjoy the flowers?"

Xu Lianyi's face blushed, and she stretched out her hand to push away Mo Yunting, her face turned to the side, and Mo Yunting couldn't help laughing, and her laughter was full of teasing.

A few children ran not far away, holding a few peach blossoms in their hands, walked up to Xu Lianyi with an innocent face, and handed the peach blossoms to Xu Lianyi.

"Is this for me?" Xu Lianyi took the flower kindly, lowered her head and asked softly, and the children nodded shyly, their eyes revealing longing.

Mo Yunting touched a child's head, turned around and instructed the father-in-law behind him to give them a reward, he was in a good mood, "Who taught you to do this?"

The child's mouth was tightly closed, his big eyes revealed a little uneasiness, and his immature voice sounded, "We thought of it ourselves, because there are often some beautifully dressed sisters who come and ask us to pick a few peach blossoms for them, and they will give us a reward." ”

Mo Yunting smiled helplessly, looking at Xu Lianyi beside him, Xu Lianyi couldn't put it down and looked at the peach blossom in her hand, sometimes sniffing and sometimes touching, her eyes were full of childishness.

Mu Lan winked at Mo Yunting, "Look at how many ladies and girls this peach orchard has attracted in their hearts, maybe you think that if you fold this peach blossom and go back, it will bring good luck to your family." ”

Mo Yunting glared at her lightly, and turned his head to look at Xu Lianyi, who had a childish face, his eyes were full of pampering.

The father-in-law took a small money bag and gave the children some scattered silver one by one, and the children who received it all stood together obediently, and some of them bit the silver with their teeth to confirm whether it was true, which made Xu Lianyi smile.

Among the children, there was a seven-year-old boy, with a somewhat worried expression on his face, and his eyes flashed when he took the silver.

Just as Mo Yunting was about to help Xu Lianyi into the peach orchard, there was a commotion among the children.

"Ahh

I only felt that my body was hit by something, Xu Lianyi's footsteps were unsteady, and she fell to the side, Mu Lanyi's eyes were quick and she helped Xu Lianyi.

"How are you?" Mo Yunting anxiously pounced on Xu Lianyi and hugged Xu Lianyi, seeing Xu Lianyi shaking his head, he was relieved, and his face sank, "Arrest them all for me!"

The guards immediately gathered the children together, and the cries rang out, and the little boy was worried and mixed with the children.

Mo Yunting looked at these children with a scrutinizing gaze, his face full of majesty, "What happened just now, why was my wife bumped into by you?"

Xu Lianyi stabilized her mind, breathing as gently as she could, and finally felt that the stinging pain in her stomach disappeared, and Mu Lan's eyes glanced at the children sharply.

Maybe the atmosphere was too heavy, the crying children gradually stopped, and a child stood up, his eyes were red, "My silver is gone, I want to see if they took the wrong mine, they want to run, I will chase, I don't know why I hit my sister." ”

The childish voice twitched and explained, but it couldn't dispel Mo Yunting's anger, and his child was almost about to die, "Give me a hundred boards!"

The tone was undoubted, the guards picked up the children, took off their pants and were about to be executed, Xu Lianyi listened to the children's wails, and couldn't bear it.

"Forget it, they're just kids, maybe they didn't mean to. Maybe it was the overflow of maternal love, Xu Lianyi pulled Mo Yunting's sleeve.

Mo Yunting couldn't, so he could only let the guards let go of those children and carry Xu Lianyi into the peach orchard, Mu Lanji walked behind him, looking at the backs of those children in the distance, and gradually retracted his gaze.

But she suddenly found that the figure of a guard was a little unique, and her walking posture was different from ordinary people, and some doubts rose in her heart.

"Look at how beautiful this peach blossom is, don't be bored because of some little things. Xu Lianyi snuggled in Mo Yunting's arms and comforted softly.

Mo Yunting nodded, not wanting to disturb her interest, and accompanied her to stroll among the clusters of peach blossoms.

"I want to go over there, and you protect me. Mu Lan pretended to be casual and ordered the guard.

Mao Ming was vigilant in his heart, he felt Mu Lanji's suspicion of himself, his eyes looked around, and he caught a glimpse of the two figures.

Mu Lanji looked around, walked to a tree and stood still, picked up a peach blossom in his hand and smelled it, Mao Ming stood not far away, "You... Some of them are new?"

Mao Ming was stunned for a moment, nodded silently, lowered his head to hide his somewhat strange eyes, Mu Lanji looked up and down, and asked unintentionally, "Have you practiced martial arts?" ”

"Some fists and legs are nothing. He lowered his voice and replied respectfully, but his feet moved back for half a minute.

Mu Lan nodded knowingly, and walked a few steps forward, Mao Ming didn't know why, and followed, she suddenly turned her head and asked, "Do people who practice martial arts love mutton very much?"

Mao Ming was caught off guard and subconsciously replied, "Yes." After speaking, he closed his mouth, and his eyes showed a bit of fierceness.

"In this way, no wonder my martial arts are not very good, because I don't like to eat mutton. Mu Lan was as if nothing had happened, and she had a judgment in her heart, and turned to look at Mo Yunting, shocked that Mo Yunting was not by Xu Lianyi's side.

Mao Ming quietly walked to Xu Lianyi's side, put the dagger in his hand behind her waist, and whispered a threat in her ear.

The deep garden is scorching, and the dark stings are in the cage.

"Who are you?" Xu Lianyi couldn't see the guard's face, his voice was soft and light when he asked, he stood behind him, and when he saw Xu Lianyi about to turn around, he pressed his sword against her waist and tightened it.

"Don't play tricks, be careful of swords without eyes. The guard's voice was cold, but it wasn't unpleasant. He wanted to take Xu Lianyi to the depths.

"This..."Xu Lianyi couldn't think of what to call him for the time being, and his voice paused and continued: "Chivalry, I'm a little tired. ”

Mao Ming didn't say hello to Xu Lianyi and said: "I really can't walk, let's rest, okay?" ”

The woman is really troublesome, Mao Ming thought secretly in his heart and then looked around, and took Xu Lianyi to the side of the somewhat dense peach blossom bushes, he didn't know that Xu Lianyi would only open her mouth to talk to him when she saw the dense forest, she expected that the person in front of her would choose a place to hide in the bushes that could cover people even if he took a little rest, and they just passed through the Bagua Forest.

"You'd better stop talking. As soon as Xu Lianyi sat down and saw the guard holding a sword in front of her face, she saw the appearance of this guard clearly, a little familiar, but she really didn't know it: "I don't want to hurt you now, but if you provoke me, it's another matter." ”

Xu Lianyi nodded when she heard this.

The sunset shines obliquely, and the peach blossoms chase the wind. They rested for a while, and Mao Ming pulled her up and continued walking, but no matter how she walked, she couldn't seem to get out.

The more she worried about Xu Lianyi and her fetus, the more inexplicable she panicked, she took every precaution, in the end she blocked outsiders, but did not guard against the people around her.

Looking at the crimson in his eyes, Mu Lan could only ask someone to go and notify Xu Mingde to come to Taoyuan first.

The night of the galaxy slowly pulled up, and the brilliant peach blossom forest in the day was a little eerie at this time, Mao Ming's feet were like stepping on the mud, and the sword in his hand finally had no extra strength to lift.

Xu Lianyi noticed the abnormality behind her, she slowed down her pace and turned her head sideways, and saw that the silhouette of the guard's body was a little sluggish, the sword in his hand was already pointing to the ground, covering his chest with one hand, and panting softly.

"You ......" Xu Lianyi heard a movement behind her as soon as she spoke, and the shadows of the trees melted in the night, and she stood still and listened carefully.

The tip of Mao Ming's sword was inserted into the ground, and if it weren't for the half-kneeling posture of the sword, I am afraid that he would have already crawled on the ground, his hands were tightly supported in his chest and lungs, and his wheezing sound became heavier and heavier.

It seems that he has suffered quite serious internal injuries, Xu Lianyi thought.

But for a moment, the wheezing gradually mixed in*, and the pain* grew louder and louder. The night wind blows, and the flowers fall in the forest, and they are a little soft on the face.

"Are you okay, are you standing up?" Xu Lianyi took a step towards him and stopped, she said again: "It's too dark and a little cold, let's find a place to take shelter." ”

A little candle lantern bean fire was lit on the stone table in the pavilion, although it was not as good as the candle flame in the room, but at least there was a shelter from the wind, at this time the person sitting on the pavilion railing chair was blue and weak, Xu Lianyi sat on the stool and looked at him condescendingly and asked: "How did you sneak into the convoy to avoid trouble?"

Mao Ming glanced at her and didn't want to speak, Xu Lianyi put her hand on the table and lowered her eyes to think, her fingertips unconsciously scraped the tabletop.
