"Uncle..... Uh, that's not right..... Little brother...."Ahri said weakly, "Here, is it Jiangcheng?"

The man, who claimed to be in his early twenties, was very satisfied with Ahri's title, and he held his head high and said, "Just call me Ah Liang." This is Jiangcheng, but it is only a small village in Jiangcheng. It's called Taoyuan Village. ”

Ahri looked around, this place is vast, although it is green for thousands of miles, but there is not half a peach blossom plant.

"Why is it called Taoyuan Village? There are no peach blossoms?" asked Ahri.

It was a question that stumped him. Ah Liang thought to himself, he was just a woodcutter chopping wood, where did he know so much.

"This place has been called Taoyuan Village since ancient times, but this peach blossom has not been open in recent years. Ah Liang pointed around, the bare little dwarf trees with their branches forked.

"This is the peach tree, but for some reason, the peach blossoms have not bloomed for the past two years. ”

Ah Liang saw that the master and apprentice were dressed brightly and looked good, not like locals, so he asked, "Where did the two come from?" ”

Ahri blurted out, but Yuezhuo preemptively said, "We are from the city." ”

When Ah Liang heard that the two men were from the city, his eyes lit up. If you think about it, although they are in the countryside, although the scenery is pleasant, they are very poor.

If you treat them well, won't you make friends with the people in the city, and when you have something to eat and wear, they will also think of themselves.

"Presumably the two of you came to our Taoyuan Village to visit, right?" said Ah Liang with a smiling face.

The master and apprentice nodded weakly.

However, Yuezhuo found that after talking to Ah Liang for so long, he had been in good spirits and showed no signs of illness. He remembered that the old man had said that the people in Jiangcheng also coughed day and night, and their faces were yellow and thin.

And the man in front of him, with a sturdy figure like a cow, has a sickly appearance.

Isn't it, what the old man said about Jiangcheng didn't mean all the places in Jiangcheng?

But at least, what Yuezhuo has to determine now is whether anyone in this village is also infected with the disease of wasted labor.

Ah Liang led the master and apprentice back home, this is a place with simple folk customs, although it is not as prosperous as Chang'an Street, but the people here are polite and warm.

Ah Liang lived alone in this hut, which was not large, but it was clean and tidy, and all the belongings were displayed in an orderly manner.

Ahri sighed that such a man who looks rough and leafy can even have a side that is as meticulous as a needle.

Like Master, Ahri discovered that the village was not what they had imagined. The people here look energetic and red-faced. Men hunt and farm, women weave and spin clothes, are they not in the wrong place?

The master and apprentice plan to stay here for a while and wait to see what happens.

At night, Ahri was woken up by the sound of Ah Liang's snoring, and he couldn't sleep on the tiny wooden slump. After turning it over and over, I found that the wooden collapse at the other end was also empty.

Hey, it's so late, where has Master gone?

Ahri got up, put on his robe, and closed the door softly, but the wooden door still creaked because of its age.

Ah Liang rolled over, poked his nostrils with his hand, and then fell asleep soundly.

It's a little cool at night, Ahri looks up, the night here is as cold as water, I don't know if there is a cowherd and weaver girl to meet in the hanging stars on this day?

He heard the story of the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl from his master. Ahri still remembers that although they can only meet once a year, in the end, they have a son and a daughter, and they live up to their time, and they have a good ending.

Compared with those who clearly love each other but can't love, and who don't love but are far-fetched together, they may be much happier.

Ahri sometimes thinks about what kind of feelings she has for Yaoye?

Is it the love between men and women that Master is talking about?

He couldn't figure it out himself, but Yao was no longer in this world, and he couldn't figure it out.

The moonlight poured down like water, reflecting the loss of its original color.

There was silence all around, only a few jet-black birds, standing on the bare branches for a long time, their dark green eyes rolling around, without making a sound.

Guided by an unobtrusive light, Ahri was led to a bare tree.

This is a peach tree, but it has no life, no color to match, in such a night, it looks like the face of an old man, one by one the lines are intertwined, and it is entrenched in a disorderly manner.

"Boy~"

There was a whisper in my ears.

Ahri looked around and pondered, but he didn't see anyone.

Could it be...... Ghost?

He remembered that Master Yuezhuo had said that in the world, in addition to humans, demons, immortals, demons, and ghosts. Ghosts are formed after death, and some are even very resentful, with the state of death before death.

If you encounter a resentful ghost, even if it is a demon with spiritual power, you must be afraid of three points. Moreover, the death of the resentful ghost is not only unsightly, but also can make the viewer lose sleep for hundreds of years.....

Ahri hid his nervously trembling little fingers in his sleeve, and when he heard a sound of footsteps behind him, he was so frightened that he hurriedly hugged his head.

Wrong..... Ahri thought that Master Yuezhuo had said that ghosts can't make any sound when they walk.

"Apprentice~~ What are you doing here?"

"Playing with mud~~Let's laugh~"

Such a familiar voice, such a charming voice, such flowing hair. It's fascinating.....

Ahri looked up and saw that it was indeed Master Yuezhuo.

With Master here, there is nothing to fear.

Yuezhuo also followed the light to get here, and at this time, the two of them remembered another voice in their ears, "Boy~"

Yuezhuo raised her eyebrows and smiled at this moment, and her handsome face was even clearer against the background of the moonlight. He slowly detoured behind the bare peach tree and dragged the things out from behind the tree.

This is a beautiful woman, looking at Mo about seventeen or eighteen years old. Wearing a double bun, a pink sleeved skirt is worn with a slightly upturned skirt, and a gorgeous peach blossom is embroidered on it, like a peach blossom attached to the body.

She was pretending to be a ghost.

"I'm a peach tree demon. ”

The master and apprentice have not yet asked, but she does not confess.

Ahri crossed her hands over her chest and said angrily, "Why are you teasing us?"

The peach demon spread his hands and stood with his feet crossed, "I'm bored here, and I finally have a new guest, so I have to tease him." ”

Yuezhuo raised her eyebrows and looked angry, and she rolled up her sleeves and was about to rush forward. Ahri stood in front of the master, and the two looked at each other and nodded, and together they rolled up their sleeves and rushed forward.

The peach demon panicked, and when he saw that the two of them were not afraid at all, and wanted to beat her, he surrendered, "Slow down.... The little demon doesn't seem to be a local?"

"Right..... We are Qingqiu...."Ahri wanted to reply, but Master Yuezhuo covered his mouth with one hand.

"Qing what?" the peach demon was a little curious.

Seeing that the two of them were silent, the peach demon shook his hand and said, "Outsiders leave quickly, there is nothing fun in this poor country." ”

Yuezhuo let go of Ahri, and there was a mouthful of Ahri's saliva in his hand. He rubbed his hand against Ahri's clothes and asked, "Why aren't you blooming?"

When the peach demon was asked like this, it seemed to be pierced into the heart. The playful expression suddenly became sad, and inadvertently, he lowered his head.

"Because he's dead. ”

"Who's dead?" asked both the master and apprentice at the same time.

"I don't know his name, I just know that he's a stunned second man. There was a woodcutter in the village who wanted to cut me, and when he cut me, he came to treat me, and I never knew that someone would heal a tree..."

Speaking of this, the peach demon couldn't help but sneer and continued.

"He often came to me to tell me that he had a wife and children waiting for him at home, and when he cured the infertility of the village chief's wife, he would go back to see his wife and son. ”

"After a long time, the village chief's wife is also pregnant. But that day, when he was about to leave, the village chief's wife suddenly had a miscarriage, and the village chief thought that he was not a good doctor, so he let him be killed.....

The peach demon's eyes were gloomy, "I see all of this, but I'm just a little demon with a shallow cultivation, and I can't help him at all..."
