Chapter 272: Waiting
Merlot stayed for a long time under the peach tree where he saw Tao Yao for the second time, his mind was full of peach blossoms and smiles, he looked up at the front of him, it was the peach tree that kept repeating and interlacing, the peach blossoms were blooming, flying like snow, and suddenly a little sad courage suddenly arose in his heart, and he raised his feet and continued to move forward.
I don't know when it started, Tao Yao became not so happy, every time he came, he saw her looking at the entrance of the peach forest, as if waiting for someone, seeing him appear, although she had a smile on her face, the loss in her eyes could not be erased, at that time he knew that maybe she was waiting for someone, a person he had never seen but she had been concerned about, and his heart was almost crazy jealous of that person.
Sometimes Merlot wondered that maybe some of her waiting was for herself, even if it was just a pitiful little bit, that would satisfy him.
The peach forest in front of him suddenly dispersed, Merlot saw the wooden house, Tao Yao was sitting on the roof of the wooden house, looking into the distance, a long red dress covered with the crimson color of the roof, seeing him coming, Tao Yao's face showed a little joy, and the bottom of his eyes was still unable to hide the worry and nostalgia.
Tao Yao stood up, grabbed the water-colored shawl, straightened the hem of her skirt, and jumped out of the wooden house under Merlot's worried eyes, like a flower falling to the ground, splashing and falling.
"Why are you here?"
Because there was an approximate time for Merlot to go up the mountain in the past, this time it was obviously a little different from the usual time, so Tao Yao asked.
Merlot looked at her with tenderness, took out a book of poetry from his sleeve and handed it to her: "This is the favorite verse of men and women in the mortal world, do you like it or not?"
Tao Yao took it with a smile, raised her jade hand lightly, turned a page and looked at it, but she seemed a little absent-minded, and she didn't want to turn down after a little look, Merlot had to say: "You turn the page again, there is a ...... you like"
Hearing this, Tao Yao stretched out his hand and turned the page again, suddenly chuckled, and said: "This poem is called Tao Yao, the same as my name, the poems are also good, and the artistic conception is also beautiful, but it is really like my peach forest." ”
Merlot's eyes became more and more tender, and her voice became deeper and softer: "What do you think of this sentence 'The son is home, and it is appropriate for his family'?"
Tao Yao was stunned, covered her lips and smiled, and returned the poetry scripture in her hand to Merlot with her backhand, and said: "It's good that it's not worthy of me, and the son's age is not good, it's time to consider starting a family." ”
Obviously, Tao Yao Yu Merlot had no other intentions, and Ah Lu couldn't help but let out a breath when he saw this, but he couldn't help frowning when he heard Hong Teasing sneering not far away. Di Gua hurriedly said: "It's also poor that Mei Gongzi, who has such a lost and depressed look." ”
Hearing this, Ah Lu set his eyes on Merlot, seeing that his eyes were dull, he only looked at Tao Yao stupidly, and the corners of his mouth also pursed, obviously suppressing the uncomfortable emotions in his heart, and couldn't help but look a little soothed, liking someone who doesn't like him is a very hard thing.
Probably because Tao Yao refused too quickly, Merlot didn't have time to react, she looked at Tao Yao for a moment, held back her sadness, and said jokingly: "What do you think if I become a relative?"
Tao Yao didn't want to think about it: "I don't have an opinion, but you have to be good to your future lady, love her wholeheartedly, don't let her wait for ......"
Between the words, Xu thought of something sad, Tao Yao's face showed a little sadness, turned around and didn't look at him, that Merlot was also blinded by the word love, dizzy, thinking that her look was revealed for herself, she grabbed Tao Yao's hand with a distressed face, and said softly: "I will not let you suffer such grievances, if you are willing, I will work hard to let you live an excellent life......
Tao Yao hurriedly broke away from his hand, showing a slightly embarrassed expression, and smiled slightly: "What are you talking nonsense, I was originally a Taoist person, I was waiting for him to come back, just those are just my instructions to you, since there will be a beautiful flower in the future, I want to treat her well, mortal women are best in their lives for a few years, don't let her cry and feel uncomfortable......"
Merlot frowned, probably a little unacceptable Tao Yao broke free of his hand: "I will definitely not let you cry and feel uncomfortable, and I will not take others again, even if there are no concubines and intercourse, you can ...... for the rest of my life."
Tao Yao understood, her expression became a little more serious, and she shouted: "What are you talking about! I have already passed that I am a Taoist couple, and I am waiting for him to come back!"
Merlot was probably really confused, no matter what he didn't think: "Why did you leave him? How long have you waited for him? How long have you been looking forward to him? Have you shed tears for him, grieved for him, sighed for him, and have you ever regretted it in the slightest?"
"No!" Tao Yao's eyes were red, and she staggered back, and Merlot subconsciously wanted to reach out to help her dodge her, and her heart became more and more uncomfortable.
"You lie, you must have cried and repented, why didn't he promise me since he abandoned you, I won't be so ......"
Merlot couldn't go on, because Tao Yao was staring at him fiercely, and big tears rolled down from the corners of his eyes, which made him even more flustered for a while, and hurriedly reached out to wipe away her tears, and his heart was so distressed that he died.
Tao Yao pushed him away, turned around and wiped away her tears, and then turned around without any traces of crying, she smiled slightly: "I know that you are for my good, but I can't tolerate anyone He is not good, please forgive me for all the collisions." ”
Mellot heard this sentence as if he was struck by lightning, Leng was speechless for a long time, and then Tao Yao continued: "I have known you as a friend over the years, and naturally I hope you can be well, if there is a good match, don't delay, I believe that you are a person, and will take good care of your lady, so I will give you a scroll to talk about my heart." ”
Then, Tao Yao took out a scroll from his sleeve and handed it to Merlot, who took it in a daze and did not speak, it should be because the grief has not yet subsided.
Seeing this, Ah Lu lowered his head and sighed lightly, Tao Yao already understood very well, but Merlot was still deceiving herself.
Over there, Hong Tu couldn't help but shake his head, only to feel a nameless anger rising in his chest, and his eyes looking at Tao Yao became more and more fierce, as if he was about to do something to her in Merlot's absence.
Di Gua, who was closest to Hong Tuo, had been paying attention to his emotions, and was shocked when he saw him showing such a look, only to feel that something was wrong, and to take a closer look at Hong Tuo's normal expression, he continued to look at the movements of the two Rao in front of him with a calm face.
I saw that Merlot was still unwilling, and the hand holding the scroll tightened and loosened, and finally turned into a silent sigh: "You, when will the person you have in mind come back?"
Tao Yao's eyes flashed, and she let out a wry smile: "I think it's time to be back......
Merlot's eyes lit up, and he couldn't help sneering: "It can be seen that there is still some time, and you have also lived a woman's life for a few years, you shouldn't waste your own years for him." ”
Tao Yao looked at him strangely: "You know, I'm not an ordinary woman, I'm a demon, I'm nothing to me in terms of age and age, I'm willing to wait......"
