Chapter 50: Peach Blossoms with Human Faces

Cangyue Lake, the border between the north and south regions.

It used to be Cangyue Mountain, but it was pierced by a peerless town border soldier in the Southern Regions more than a thousand years ago.

Since then, there are no mountains, but there are lakes.

There is a village next to the lake, half in the south and half in the north, also known as Cangyue Village.

The village is not large, but there are only 100 families, most of which are ordinary people.

Rely on the mountains to eat the mountains, rely on the water to eat the water.

Since the village is next to the vast Cangyue Lake, most of the people in the village make a living from fishing.

Although there are often merchants from the north and south, it is more peaceful than the hinterland of the two regions.

There is an old peach tree in front of the village, and even the oldest person in the village can't tell how old the peach tree is.

Seven hundred, eight hundred?

Maybe longer, I can't say.

Next to the old peach tree, a small fence yard and two tiled houses, there is a family surnamed Li.

There is a girl in the family, and in this era when she is already in the boudoir at the age of seventeen or eighteen, she is already counted as an old girl at the age of thirty.

If it is said that the daughter of this family is born with crooked melons and cracked dates, or missing arms and legs, it is normal that she can't get married.

But this girl called Red Sleeves was born extremely handsome and ingenious.

Even if it is placed in Beiliang City, which is closest to Cangyue Village, it is not much compared to those wealthy daughters.

Although he has already passed the age of marriage, if he takes a look, he is still as tender as a girl, especially with a pair of peach blossom eyes.

Therefore, to this day, there is still an endless stream of people who come to propose marriage.

Even, there was a wealthy son of the Dugu family who was the only one in Beiliang City, and after seeing the red sleeves, he actually threatened to divorce his wife at home and marry her.

Although the matter was later settled, it was still praised.

It wasn't a good thing for a woman to be born too well, and it didn't take long for rumors to spread that the girl named Red Sleeves of the Li family was not a person, but the reincarnation of the fox spirit who escaped from the mountains.

Fortunately, although the old Li Tou couple has never read any books in their lives, it does not prevent them from being reasonable people.

Especially with such a daughter in this life, I didn't think that this woman would have to marry someone to end up.

When I returned from fishing on weekdays, if I heard someone talking about his daughter behind his back, he would definitely come forward to quarrel with someone, and he had done it with someone two years earlier because of this.

Fortunately, when Lao Li Tou was young, he didn't know which master who passed through here to learn some boxing and kicking, and he had never suffered a loss when he was doing it with others over the years.

On this day, the sun is setting.

In the small courtyard of the Li family's fence, there is a plain-clothed woman, who is still charming without powder, but she is not the red-sleeved girl who is called a fox spirit by the village women.

She held a yellowed letter in her hand, which looked to be a little old, and even the handwriting on the paper was a little blurred.

But this letter has been well preserved by her, even if ten years have passed, it is still clean and tidy.

Twilight is four, and tired birds return to their nests.

The setting sun gradually set in the west, and the faint golden light sprinkled through the peach tree, falling in the courtyard, and it was just enough to be able to see the handwriting on the paper clearly.

However, after only a few lines, it can be seen that the person who writes has a very strong pen.

The first sentence is: "If you cultivate good karma in the third life, you will smell the fragrance of peach blossoms in this life." ”

It is not difficult to guess that the person who wrote the letter must be the reason why the red-sleeved girl refused to marry someone else in the boudoir for many years.

The wind blew and blew off the peach blossoms.

The red-sleeved girl stood there stupidly, standing under the peach tree, letting her long hair and dress blow, and the peach petals fell between her jet-black bun.

Finally, with a soft sigh, she carefully folded the yellowed letter and stuffed it into her bosom.

Then he turned and walked into the house, and in a moment there was a faint smoke rising from the roof chimney.

The sun finally sets on the mountain.

The courtyard was also lit by faint candlelight, and through the window, I could faintly see what the red-sleeved girl was leaning on the window frame and embroidering.

The thin shadow is the window, and the people are doubled.

"After years and years, in this door, the peach blossoms on the human face are red. A figure slowly walked out from behind the peach tree, and whispered, "Red Sleeves, you have lost weight..."

Dugu Yin jumped lightly on the ground on tiptoe, and jumped on the dragon-like branches of the peach tree, holding the iron sword in one hand and the crown of the tree in the other, looking at the familiar shadow, his eyes were full of bitterness.

For so many years, Tiejian Dugu Yin has been called the Blood Rakshasa by outsiders, crisscrossing the Qin Dynasty in the north, with a sword in the air, he is not afraid of facing the encirclement and suppression of hundreds of masters of the Northern Regions Sect, and he is not afraid of the twelve town souls to behead him.

But he was only afraid of seeing this woman who always warmed his heart when she smiled, and he was even more afraid that when he came here again ten years later, he still heard the news that she was still waiting for.

I heard that she waited ten years.

Breaking off a peach branch, he pinched it in his hand, and his gaze returned to ten years ago.

That year, he made an appointment with Bai Zhong, the son of the Northern Qin Killing God, to fight on the bank of the blue moon.

In the lantern of Bai Zhong's gods and ghosts, the surging Nine Netherworld Flames burned his eyes.

And he, a sword pierced Bai Zhong's throat.

Both loses and loses, which is a life and death situation.

Fortunately, in the end, it is about to be doomed.

The two had a tacit understanding and stopped in time, and agreed to fight again after ten years.

It was the most embarrassing time in Dugu Yin's life, stumbling forward in the darkness with an iron sword, and I don't know if there is still the master of the Northern Regions Sect Realm who wants him to die behind him.

Eventually, he fainted under the peach tree.

When he woke up again, he was lying on the bed in the house, and the futon on his body had a good smell of peach blossoms.

Subconsciously, he wanted to reach out and touch the iron sword that did not leave his body, but he accidentally grabbed a slender and boneless little hand.

His eyesight had not yet been restored, and he seemed to see a red face faintly.

Leng Ruo is like him, even if he doesn't understand the affairs of men and women, he knows that his unintentional actions are frivolous.

For the next half a year, he settled here in this courtyard.

Although it is not far from Beiliang City, he just doesn't want to go home.

The period of more than 100 days is not long, but it is not short.

But it was the most peaceful time of the year.

There was no killing, only Peach Blossom Wine and her.

That year, he heard her say that the peach blossoms were not the best than in previous years, but the wine was the sweetest.

So when it was time to leave, in addition to the iron sword that had not been unsheathed for half a year, he also took a pot of peach blossom brew with him.

It was also on that day that the Blood Rakshasa who had never been drunk and would never allow himself to get drunk was rarely drunk.

When he got drunk, he left a letter.

Just like when he first came, he staggered out of Cangyue Village.

Unexpectedly, she kept that letter to this day.

Now he returned, with apprehension and anxiety, before going to the covenant of death.

Some time ago, I already knew that the little killing god of Northern Qin broke through.

I don't know what kind of big opportunity I get, and when I got out of the customs, I had already broken the pill into a baby and entered the prince.

sighed softly, I have to admit that compared to Bai Zhong.

Ten years ago he was slightly inferior, and ten years later, even more so.

Cultivation is, and the character of daring to love and hate is still.

This time, the best ending is nothing more than the death of the two together.

If you are reluctant, except for the parents in Beiliang City, she is the only one.

Dugu Yin sighed softly, jumped off the peach tree, and walked away.

In the courtyard, the red-sleeved girl seemed to have a feeling, and pushed open the window to look, but only the moonlight was quiet.

He smiled self-deprecatingly, perhaps, the man would never come back.

How many times I have hoped for it, and how many times I have been disappointed.

Over and over again, more than 10 years and 3,000 days and nights have passed like that.

Every year when the peach blossoms are in full bloom, the red sleeves will pluck the peach blossoms to make wine.

Today, under the old peach tree, there are ten jars of peach blossom brew.

Perhaps, next year there will be the eleventh, twelfth, or even more.

Come to think of it, if one day the guy who hurts the most with the iron sword comes back.

This time, it should be enough for him to have a good drink.

When the province arrived, as at the beginning, he secretly took a bottle and slipped away.

Gently blew out the red candle in front of the table, and she lay down in her clothes.

In the dark night, a shooting star streaked by.

The lonely back finally stopped.

He looked up at the sky, folded his hands and closed his eyes silently.

Then, when he opened his eyes, there was a flash of cold sword qi.

The boy of the lonely family should be like this.

The iron sword does not break, and only the fight to the death does not retreat.

Children are tender, if they can come back alive.

In this life, we will no longer be negative.

Legend has it that peach blossom brewing is made with peach blossom petals and the tears of sad people.

......

In front of the mirror, Ji Xiaoyue looked at herself in the mirror blankly.

On his body, he was wearing a man's clothes.

But her body was already thin, and when she put on the robe that she quietly came from Jiang Xiaoman, she felt a little like a monkey.

The little girl pursed her lips, looking unhappy, why did Xuan Zhiqiu's girl look good in men's clothes.

And when it comes to himself, he is not like the nondescript four.

Between these daughters, there will be some comparisons to a greater or lesser extent.

Although Ji Xiaoyue is very arrogant, she can't avoid it.

Naturally, there is a purpose for pretending to be a man, the world is so big, she wants to see it.

I heard that the scenery of the north is infinitely good, so it is natural to go for a walk.

Especially the ghost mother-in-law finally agreed to the old man Gu slave and wanted to go to the Great Witch Kingdom of the Middle Regions to treat an even older old man.

This walk, to say the least, will take half a year.

The little girl didn't want to follow, and it wasn't interesting to stay in Fancheng.

is thinking about learning from that ginger worm, and going to the end of the world with a sword.

Who said that being a hero can't be a daughter's family.

If you go faster, you can't say it, before you reach the Northern Regions, you will meet Jiang Xiaoworm first.

But the ghost mother-in-law wanted to say that it was inconvenient for this girl to walk outside, and she had to ask Ji Xiaoyue to learn to pretend to be a boy before she could rest assured.

Otherwise, you have to obediently follow her to the Middle Domain.

The old man's mind can also be understood, except for the little girl's light skills, other fist and foot kung fu is a mess.

If it is really a person who goes on the road alone, he may not have gone far, and he will be abducted by the king of the mountain along the way to be the lady of the village.

pouted in annoyance, I knew that there would be today, and I should have practiced hard in the first place.

Just when the little girl was depressed, there was a light cough behind her.

"Ghost Mother-in-law..."

The little girl turned her head and stared at the old man with big eyes.

"Hehe, little girl, you're very pretty. Since knowing that Ji Xiaoyue was in good health, the old man was in a rare good mood, looking at his only granddaughter, how he liked it, he couldn't help but joke.

"Hmph!" Ji Xiaoyue turned her head and pouted, still angry with the old man.

"Well, take it, take it. The old man smiled, and didn't care, holding a small porcelain vase in his hand and handing it to the little girl.

"What?" the little girl turned her head to look at the old man, and then quickly turned her head away, not taking the porcelain vase.

"The Illusion Pill, the red one, can make people temporarily transform into shapes, and it is difficult to distinguish between male and female. The blue one, after taking it, will change back to its own appearance. The old man smiled and asked softly, "What's the matter?"

"Phew, who's going to look for him, the world is so big, this girl also wants to break in, can't you?!" Although his mouth was hard, he snatched the porcelain bottle in the old man's hand, and his pretty face was red.

"Hey, the girl is not staying!" The old man shook his head helplessly, handed the little girl a jade bracelet, and instructed: "Wear it well, this is a rare thing, a storage bracelet, there is some silver and pills in it, and it will save enough for you to squander it for a year or two." ”

"Hehe, I know that your old man still loves the little moon the most in this world. The little girl turned yin into love, and happily threw herself into the old man's arms and sprinkled coquettishly.

"You, you have a virtue with your father, it's just one word, stubborn!" The old man touched the hairy head of the little girl in his arms, and sighed softly: "Even if I don't give it to you today, if you want to come, you will really dare to run away from home tomorrow." ”

"My father, he hasn't followed you yet," the little girl muttered in a low voice in the old man's arms.

"When are you going to leave?"

"When you go to the Middle Domain, I'll be leaving too. Ji Xiaoyue stretched out two small hands to hug the ghost mother-in-law, and said in a low voice: "You can't eat the dishes I cooked, don't miss it too much..."

"Then there must be some concerns..."The old man laughed, put his head on his granddaughter's shoulder, and said in a kind voice: "I even put the "Green Capsule Sutra" in that bracelet, patronizing and playing on the side of the road, and cultivating well is the right thing, if something happens to my old wife one day, the unparalleled medical skills will be broken. ”

"Bah, baa, you old man for generations, don't say unlucky things!" the little girl reddened and hurriedly said coquettishly.

"Okay, just live him for a thousand generations!" The old man smiled and nodded, then gently pushed Ji Xiaoyue away and walked towards the door: "I originally came to talk to you, I will get up and go to the Central Region tonight, the Xuan family I owe them a favor in the early years, and now it is time to pay it back." ”

Walking to the door, the old man stopped, did not turn around, and said softly: "When you go out, it is not as good as Fancheng, don't mess around with your temperament, if you encounter trouble along the way, go to the local Danlou, and someone will solve it for you." ”

"And... If you go to Beihai Country, remember to go and see your mother. ”

After speaking, the old man stepped out of the grass house, and then walked into the void and disappeared.

"Take care Grandmother!"

Ji Xiaoyue's eyes were red, and in the direction of the old man's departure, she knelt down seriously and slammed down.
