The sound of firecrackers came from outside the house, and the sound of firecrackers was one year old, and the spring breeze sent warmth into Tusu. Hearing the laughter of children outside, several old men cleaned up their moods. Huang Yizhi then said to Xueyi. "Brother Blood, since we're here, let's have dinner together, there's nothing to eat in the small place, don't dislike it. ”

Xueyi found that his stomach was rumbling, and he remembered that he hadn't eaten for a long time, and then said a little embarrassed.

"Seniors, you are serious, some of the juniors are already grateful!" Several people exchanged a few words of greeting and walked out of the ancestral hall together. Today is the twenty-ninth day of the new year, the last day before Chinese New Year's Eve, although it is in the south. But it's already cold.

After going out, Zhang Ming rubbed his hands and sighed. said, "It is estimated that it will not snow again this year, the blood brother is not me and you, the Taoyuan Valley after the snow is very beautiful!" Huang Yizhi patted Zhang Ming's shoulder with some amusement and said, "God has the final say on whether it snows or not! ”

"Okay! Village chief, see if I don't put you down today! No, no, no, I still have to call Wang Sheng. Zhang Ming laughed. After speaking, he trotted away, thinking that he was going to find Wang Sheng. Xueyi followed Huang Yi and his party to the village chief's house.

The village chief's home is under one of the largest peach trees in Peach Blossom Village, which is said to be the 'mother' of all peach trees here for thousands of years. The branches are thick and the roots are knotted. Every year, the most beautiful peach blossoms bloom and the largest peaches are produced. Every time the peaches are born, the children in the village will come to Huang Yizhi to ask for them, and they all come early. When the peaches are still green, each child has already decided which one is his/her own.

At this time, there are several big red lanterns hanging on the peach tree, and a long rectangular table is placed underneath. At this time, it was already full of delicacies. Colorful steamed steamed buns, various colors of peach blossom cakes, as well as fragrant and elegant red sweet and sour fish, roast chicken and goose, boiled white eggs. There are also all kinds of mountain delicacies, mushrooms, and new winter bamboo shoots, which are extraordinarily sweet. In the middle is a reminder of the huge roast suckling pig.

The pork rind is crispy and shiny, with golden fat coming out of it, sprinkled with various spices, and finally sprinkled with peach blossom stuff and some fresh peach blossoms as a garnish. The aroma is tangy, and the blood can be smelled from a distance. I can't help but move my index finger a little.

A few people walked to the front of the house, and at this time several women came out of it, talking and laughing with each other. There were all kinds of wine and food in his hands, and after seeing Huang Yi and his passers-by, they all greeted them and asked them to sit down. A few old men and Xueyi found a place to sit down. It didn't take long for the people in the village who were busy with the festival to come and sit down to prepare for dinner. Everyone in a village sat together.

Blood lifted up the celadon cup, poured peach blossom stuff into it, put it on the tip of the nose and smell the rich fragrance of peach blossoms, and finally drank it all. A fiery heat goes down the esophagus and goes straight to the stomach, which is really refreshing. The villagers toasted with Xueyi one after another, and Xueyi did not refuse to come. The curious people in the village all inquired about the situation in the outside world, and Xueyi also knew everything and said everything.

The courtyard is staggered, and it is very lively. Although the weather was cold, everyone was sweating from food. I don't know how long I've been eating, but Xueyi is already a little drowsy. Zhang Ming and Wang Sheng hugged each other and said that they were going to find the village chief to drink again, and the rest of the men and women were full of food and drink and went home separately. The old men were also red-faced, and they went back to their respective homes with the smell of wine. There were only blood and Huang Yizhi left in the courtyard.

"When are you going to leave?" Huang Yizhi said suddenly.

"I've been away from the Blood Feather Alliance for a long time, it's time to go back, I'm afraid there will be trouble if I don't go back for too long. Xueyi said.

"Have you ever wondered why no one in our village has been out for so many years?"

"Why is this?" Xue Yi asked with some curiosity, even if he was willing to spend his life incognito here, but for hundreds of years, there would always be people who wanted to go out, could it be that this place could only be entered and not exited?

"There are imports, and the 'gourd mouth' location of this Taoyuan Valley was originally a passage, but it was broken by the joint efforts of several of us, and now it is impossible to get out from there. If you want to get out of the surrounding mountains, you can't do it with your current strength. Huang Yizhi said.

"Then how did I get in?" Bloody suddenly had some difficulty accepting the fact that if he was really trapped here for hundreds of years, it would really be more painful than killing him. Because he still has a lot of things to do, he hasn't found out about his biological parents, what should he do if his brothers don't have themselves. hasn't killed Ge Heping to avenge Shi Lao, and the warm red lips under the moonlit night, is it all going to end like this?

"You should have come in through the dark river, the upstream of the 'gourd mouth' is a large forest, and the undercurrent in it may be able to bring you here, but even if you look for it now, you won't be able to find that undercurrent. There are a lot of undercurrents that connect to the streams of Taoyuan Valley, and you don't know which one is the one to go out. If you want to get out, you might have to wait for your chance. Huang Yizhi said.

Xueyi already understood what Huang Yizhi meant, he didn't continue, and the cold wind blew him up most of the time. Finally, wave your hand and don't think about it anymore. Today's work is done today, and tomorrow's worries are not assured. Pick up a pot of peach blossom stuffing, and dance the sword under the tree to talk cold.

Watching the blood dance sword, the free swordsmanship is at ease, and the blood is wielded wantonly with the intention of wine, and countless peach blossoms dance with his sword intent. The 'Qingxuan Sword' let out a clear groan.

"Good swordsmanship! This is the free sword of the 'Heaven and Earth Xuanmen', the swordsmanship is good, and it is a little less free. You have so many distractions to worry about, how can you be at ease. You haven't gotten the essence of swordsmanship yet. Huang Yizhi pointed on the side.

After hearing this, I felt that I couldn't grasp the mystery of swordsmanship, and the moves in many places were very skillful, lacking so much artistic conception, and the authorities were confused, and after listening to Huang Yiyi's words, he suddenly opened his mouth. Empty your mind and let go of all the restraints on your body. Forget who you are, forget your moves, forget the time.

Looking at the blood and standing motionless under the tree with his eyes closed, Huang Yizhi showed an appreciative look on his face.

The breeze blows, and a peach blossom falls, slowly scattering and drifting down in the air. A peach blossom fell on Xueyi's hair, and as soon as Xueyi opened his eyes, the 'Qingxuan' in his hand was like a swimming dragon, and his moves were similar to just now, but the artistic conception was completely different. That natural feeling captures the essence of the Freedom Sword. Xueyi's perception of his own kendo became more and more profound.

The sword stopped, and the petals hanging in the air around him fell one after another, and if you looked closely, you found that dozens of petals were engraved with the word 'free'.

"You can teach!" Huang Yizhi clapped his hands and said.

"Thank you seniors for mentioning it!" "Xueyi expressed his heartfelt thanks, and admired this old man from the bottom of his heart.

"It's not too early, let's go back to the house and rest! I've prepared a guest room for you, you can go there to rest!" Huang Yizhi went back to the house after speaking, and Xueyi also returned to his room to rest.

There was no word for a night, and it was Chinese New Year's Eve after the child, and the year passed like this. It was still dark, and as soon as I heard someone shouting outside the window, "It's snowing!!"

"Wow, it's snow!" The whole village burst into laughter.

As soon as the blood walked out of the room, he saw the goose feathers in the sky, and the snow of the night had spread a thick layer of silver frost on the ground. The foot squeaks when stepped on. Looking at the children running and playing in the snow, Blood couldn't help but smile. Suddenly, there was a thought, if it really happened, there was nothing wrong with spending the rest of my life here. If you can be accompanied by a beautiful woman, such a life fairy will not change.

Suddenly, he saw that the girl from yesterday had accidentally slipped while dodging the snowball of another child. I was about to go over and help her, but Niuniu stood up on her own and patted the snow on her body. There were tears rolling in his eyes, and he muttered, "Don't cry, don't cry, Niuniu, my mother said that if you fall, you have to get up by yourself." Niu Niu is the strongest!" Niu Niu looked up and found Blood One standing in front of her.

Said happily, "Big brother, you are also here!" Then he seemed to think of something, and turned around with a cold snort. I wonder if I'm still angry with blood. The blood gently tendered Niuniu's head, and took out a peach blossom from her arms and gave it to Niuniu.

After Niuniu took it, she was pleased to find that the peach blossom was engraved with the word 'Niuniu'. When he was happy, he took out a small paper bag from his bosom. Open it layer by layer, take out a piece of peach blossom cake that has been somewhat broken from the middle, and hand it to Xueyi.

"Mom said you can't just ask for other people's things, oh, this is for you in exchange!" Niuniu looked at Xueyi with an expectant look, she thought that the most delicious thing in the world was peach blossom cake. Blood as a result of peach blossom cake, eat in one bite, sweet, glutinous. After eating, it has a fresh fragrance in the mouth.

"The peach blossom cake given by Niuniu is so delicious!" Niuniu, who was complimented, was very happy, and heard someone calling her and saying goodbye to Xueyi. And he ran into the distance.

"Beware of slippery roads!" said Xueyi in the back.

After finishing speaking, Xueyi himself was stunned. Are you such a person, ten years of bloody fighting, and deceitful in the rivers and lakes. There is no way back, and if you take a step back, you may fall into the abyss. Maybe between this corner of the world, people will release the truth, goodness and beauty in their hearts.

In the following time, Xuexue took a look at the ancestor worship ceremony in Peach Blossom Village, various ceremonies in the ancestral hall, and Huang Yizhi's speech, praying for a good harvest in the coming year. Remembering the ancestors and praying to God for the health of the younger generations. The procedure was complicated, and after the end, everyone ate and drank in the ancestral hall.

Blood One did not participate, believing that the dead would not bless the living. If the dead are better than the living, then why would he die. But this is the remembrance of the deceased, and it is also in this way that spiritual sustenance will make people's hearts strong.

Leaving the village, Blood walked upstream, trying to see if he could find his way out.
