Chapter 139: Bitter Heart
On the second day of March, the weather was fine.
The spring breeze blows the bamboo branches, the bamboo leaves sweep the hut, and the birds chirp and jump on the thatch.
Under the porch, on the dilapidated wooden table, a plate of osmanthus cake was placed.
It should be said that it is a peach blossom cake, a fine white pastry sprinkled with crushed pink petals, a little bit of spring, fragrant.
Twig sat on the wooden slump with his knees crossed, staring at the plate of pastries in a daze.
White Fennel squeezed next to her, and said expectantly, "There are no osmanthus flowers this season, how about you taste this peach blossom cake?"
The sprig reached out and pinched a piece, brought it to his lips and took a bite, it was soft and glutinous and sweet, and the peach blossoms were slightly bitter.
The corners of her mouth twitched, as if she was smiling, "It's delicious." ”
Bai Fennel also pulled the corners of her mouth, but sighed in her heart.
Since returning to Longshan, Xiao Hei has been sleeping all day except eating, as if he has to sleep enough quickly, otherwise he will not have to sleep after the forbidden spell is lifted.
Xiaobai also loves to sleep, but it prefers to sleep in the arms of white fennel, indeed, when the spell is lifted, it will not have the treatment of this warm nephrite as a pillow to sleep.
The mallet is crying in front of the courtyard gate with a swollen mouth, and it can give this dog's life for a mouthful of red bean fruit. For lunch today, I don't have to burn it.
Xia Yunze locked himself in his room, pondering the ancient seven-star forbidden spell day and night, although he had been pondering it for three thousand years, but when it came to the day when the spell was about to be lifted, he didn't dare to slack off.
Baitang is busy in the fields every day. After Xiaozhi's birthday, he will go down the mountain, and he has to turn over the ground quickly in these days and plant some seasonal fruits and vegetables.
After Xiaozhi woke up again, she became even more silent, which couldn't be blamed on her, her heart was too painful to speak.
She is now like a grape in a broken glass jar, and if she is not careful, the agate-like grapes will be pierced and the juice will flow.
She didn't go anywhere except to sit on the wooden slump under the porch and bask in the sun.
The peach blossoms by the stream are in full bloom, and when Bai Tang returns with a hoe, there are always a few pieces of red powder between his shoulders and hair.
Xiao Peng walked into the yard with two fish, followed by a big rooster strutting high.
He lifted the fish strung together with straw rope and shook it, and shouted to the white anise, "Sister fennel, is this fish braised or boiled in soup?"
Bai Fennel stood up, walked out from under the porch, took the two fish in Xiao Peng's hand, which were more than a foot long, and said with a smile, "One is braised and the other is boiled soup." ”
No matter where you go, as long as there is anise, others are in the kitchen, and you can only do it.
Xiao Peng put a small yellow flower picked from the stream on the wooden table, sat down next to the twig, gently rested his head on her arm, and whispered, "Sister." ”
Twig chuckled and took her warm hand.
Since coming back, Xiao Peng has always stuck to her like this every day and sat with her for a long time.
I heard that the dragon clan's premonition is particularly accurate, does he have a premonition?
Xia Yunze rarely walked out of the door, he glanced at the sister and brother who were nestled on the wooden collapse, stuffed the things in his hand back into his sleeve pocket, walked over, and said, "Xiaopeng, you go to the kitchen to help first, I have something to say to your sister." ”
Xiao Peng answered and ran into the kitchen, and when he passed the chicken coop, Taro was about to follow, and he kicked back.
Xia Yunze stood beside the wooden table, the sun shining on the corners of his moon-white robe, shining like silver.
"Can you put him down" Xia Yunze's voice was like a spring breeze, warm and gentle, but it was also like a small stone, thrown into a pool of stagnant water, and smashed into Xiaozhi's heart.
She slowly raised her head, looked at Xia Yunze beside her, and said for a moment, "What does Master mean by this?"
Master wouldn't ask her such a thing for no reason.
Xia Yunze was also silent for a long time, as if he had finally made up his mind, and said, "If you want to lift the ancient seven-star forbidden spell, you can't afford to miss it at all, I'm worried about your current state." ”
The tender yellow petals are bathed in the spring breeze and sunshine, showing vigorous vitality. But everyone knows that it won't be long before this delicate flower will wither. Flowers that have been plucked off their branches do not live long.
Xia Yunze saw Xiaozhi staring at the yellow flower on the wooden table in a daze, and said, "Do you know who is holding the red rope with you?"
Xiaozhi shook her head slowly, she thought about this question, but no matter who it was, what did it have to do with her, she couldn't dig out this heart and hold it in that person's hands.
"It's Qingjing Immortal Monarch, in order to fulfill you and Lu Qi, he did not hesitate to use the Ice Spell to seal one of his arms, and he was almost crippled; You know how much your heart hurts now, and how much it hurts him. ”
Qingjing Immortal Jun Xiaozhi remembered the cold fairy who was as bright as snow.
Qingjing Immortal Jun once said, "Since ancient times, immortals and demons have been incompatible, and you will not have good results with him." ”
"You will not be afraid that you will fall into a sea of misery and suffer a lot"
So, he already knew.
If he had told her this then, would there have been these things later?
If she knew that falling in love with Lu Qi would have to endure the pain of devouring her heart, would she still love her
Twigs don't know.
"Why did Master tell me this?"
Xia Yunze sighed, "Since you have decided to let go, don't think about the past anymore, you are harming others and yourself like this." And it will affect tomorrow's spell resolution, when the spell is solved, if there is a slight mistake, not only will you be gone, but even us, there will be no good end. Master, it's just that for Xiao Peng, it's inevitable."
Xia Yunze didn't continue, he had already talked a little too much today.
Even if she puts this feeling in her heart, she can't do it, even if she is willing to bear this heart-eating pain
The twig wiped away the hot tears on his face, but the tears seemed to be inexhaustible.
"But I can't forget it. Xiaozhi buried his face in the palm of his hand, and the red beans in his palm were instantly soaked in tears.
Xia Yunze took out a small dark brown fruit from his sleeve pocket, pinched it with two fingers, and put it in the sunlight, and he could see that there was a golden luster hidden in it.
"Master, this has a bitter fruit, you can forget your feelings with Lu Qi, forget everything you did after you went down the mountain, are you willing to take it?"
Xiaozhi suddenly raised his head from between his hands, and looked at the small fruit in Xia Yunze's palm in a daze, with tears on his face.
Painstaking and forgetful
Without waiting for Xiaozhi to answer, a figure rushed in from outside the courtyard and snatched the bitter fruit from Xia Yunze's hand.
Xia Yunze's face changed.
Bai Tang stared at this bitter fruit for a moment, then stared at Xia Yunze's eyes tightly, and asked in a deep voice, "How can you have a bitter fruit?"
Xia Yunze saved his life, and he would rather believe that he had lost his memory due to a madness than suspect that Xia Yunze was a ghost. But, where did he get the fruit of his hard work?
"Picked it up. Xia Yunze met his gaze and said lightly.
This painstaking fruit was indeed picked up by him, and when the ghost lord Qianwei carried away Qingjing Xianjun that night, he vaguely heard the sound of the door opening, and it was Xia Yunze who heard the movement and came out to check.
The brown bitter fruit faintly shone golden on the white snow, and he stood at the gate of the courtyard and saw it at a glance.
That night, if Qianwei was not in such a hurry, as long as she paid a little attention, she could also find this painstaking fruit, but unfortunately she was carrying things on both shoulders, and she had no time to look at the ground.
Xia Yunze picked up the fruit, looked around again, and found nothing unusual, so he went back to the room. He didn't expect anyone to come and steal the dog, and he didn't even think to go to the kennel to take a look.
"How do you know this is the fruit of pain," Bai Tang asked.
"It is recorded in ancient books. Xia Yunze still had no waves.
What he said was true, Xia Yunze was well-read, and Bai Tang knew it.
Bai Tang looked a little embarrassed, he had just come back from the field, and before he entered the yard, he heard Xia Yunze's voice, it was he who was impulsive.
He stopped staring at Xia Yunze and turned his gaze to Xiao Zhi, only to find that she was almost collapsing.
"You really plan to let her eat this thing" Bai Tang couldn't bear it.
Xia Yunze sighed, "It is recorded in ancient books that although the painstaking fruit can forget the feelings, there are also many adverse reactions, if it is not to this point, how can I take it out." Fortunately, when the seven-star forbidden spell is lifted tomorrow, the spiritual power of our people can protect you, and you won't go crazy. Twig, decide for yourself. ”
Does she still have a choice?
Everyone in this courtyard is her dearest person, can she ignore their life and death for her own selfishness?
It is Qingjing Xianjun, she doesn't want to owe him this love debt, as long as she forgets Lu Qi, Qingjing Xianjun can relieve the pain of devouring her heart, and there will be one less person who suffers in this world.
She won't hurt anymore.
Why not
Only Lu Qi is left, what should he do
Can he really forget her, be in harmony with Yan Yan Qinse, and fly together
Xiaozhi trembled and stretched out his hand to take the bitter fruit from Bai Tang's hand.
Spring is beautiful, everything is new, but her heart is like ashes.
