March in the world is the time of spring for all things.

The courtyard where Ji Huai lives is in the mountains and forests, surrounded by peach blossoms.

A few peach petals were scattered on the stone table, giving off a faint fragrance, but no one cares about them when they fall into the teacup.And that tea was probably too cold, and when I drank it in early spring, I always felt a little hurt.

But there was still a pair of well-knit hands groping to pick it up, and slowly brought it to his lips to drink.The cold tea has a light peach fragrance, which is quite sweet.

The eyes of the tea drinker looked forward dully and dimly, or in other words, they just set their eyes in a random place.

Just because Ji Huai couldn't see it, he was blind.

So he listened more carefully, and he knew the slightest sound.So he pressed his fist to his lips with one hand, and couldn't help coughing twice.

The person who came was startled, and took a step back in a panic. He clearly left without a sound. He was extremely careful, but Ji Huai still found him.In a hurry, Ji Huai was quite displeased by these small voices, and frowned slightly.

Afterwards, when Ji Huai heard the other party approaching, he called him softly: "Fourth Prince." It was a boy's voice, listening to many people who were only seventeen or eighteen years old, with the spring breeze unintentionally blowing around, immature and crisp .

Ji Huai's impatience was worn out by this voice, and he restrained his expression: "Didn't I tell you not to come?"

The boy lowered his head, wanting to see him but timidly.With a blushing face, he hesitated for a long time, finally managed to squeeze out a sentence: "I want to serve the fourth prince."

Ji Huai had no expression on his face, touched the cold teacup with his fingertips, and said coldly: "I have no wages to give you."

"I don't need wages!" The boy replied quickly.

Ji Huai didn't believe it, so he just said to himself: "I was kicked out of the imperial city a long time ago, and I was blind. I suffered from a whole body of illness, and my life will not be long. If you follow me, you won't survive."

The young man understood: "I know."

Ji Huai was speechless, not knowing what the young man's intentions were, and he was three minutes too late even to push back.

Seeing that he didn't open his mouth, the young man said obediently: "I'll change the fourth prince for a pot of hot tea." After saying that, he picked up the teapot and ran away like a rabbit, fearing that Ji Huai would say something offensive again.

Ji Huai wanted to call him, but found that he still didn't know the boy's name.On the contrary, I feel that there is a light peach blossom fragrance in the place where the young man rolled his clothes.It's like the wind, I don't know if the peach blossoms in spring are too blooming, or the young man came from the burning peach blossoms.

There are not many living utensils in the courtyard, and it is relatively simple from a glance.

The young man squatted in front of the stove to light the fire, his face was covered in embarrassment from the smoke, and he coughed many times.

Hearing the sound, a small head popped out of the haystack at the side, and seeing no one around, he kicked his feet happily and ran over.

"Little fairy!"

The boy raised his head and coughed dryly while covering his mouth.

The child was about seven or eight years old, wearing a short red cloth shirt, with a knot tied on his head and a red rope wrapped around it.His cheeks were flushed, his hands were on his hips, and he was out of breath.

He is a little demon that he met by accident a few days ago, and he always likes to be familiar with himself.He wiped his sweat wheezingly, stunned the boy, and asked curiously, "Do you carp spirits sweat too?"

"Bah, you're a carp spirit." The child frowned, "I'm a turtle spirit who can do everything right!"

The boy smiled and said, "Then you are wearing such bright red."

"Hmph. Little fairy, I heard from the land father-in-law this morning. That blind fourth prince is a fairy in the sky. He was sent down to the mortal world because of a mistake. What relationship do you have with him? You actually ran down to take care of him?" he."

"I will not tell you."

The little turtle is a chatterbox: "Stingy, tell me, how did you slip down?"

The boy shook his head to keep it secret, being very careful.

"Hey, then you must have a name, right?" The little turtle was discouraged, and his curiosity was all worn out.

"I don't have a name." The young man scratched the tip of his nose and said embarrassedly, "I have only cultivated human form for less than a month, and I am the lowest-ranked fairy in the sky. What about you, what's your name?"

"If the wind."

After all, the wind is blowing.

The peach blossoms in the mountains and forests are full of swaying, fragrant for thousands of miles.Some petals fell here, and landed on the young man's long black hair.In an instant, the flower petals turned into nothingness, leaving only a little fragrance.The young man turned sideways, his white shirt moved slightly, his hair brushed against his delicate cheeks, exuding the cleanliness of a new spring.

Especially those eyes of his, filled with waves and shining brightly.

"I know! You are the Peach Blossom Fairy!" Ruofeng stared blankly, and then exclaimed after a long while, "My mother said, among all things to cultivate one's morality, the vixen and the Peach Blossom Fairy have the best looks."

The young man didn't think so. He had been in the heaven for 300 years and had seen too many immortals and fairies with refined temperament.I don't think Xiaoxian and vixen like me can see where it is easy to see, and only Ruofeng is there to boast.

The water in the pot boiled, and the young man made a new pot of tea, but Ruofeng continued chatting.

He returned to the front yard with the tea, but saw that Ji Huai was already groping for the house with a bamboo stick.It was cold in the courtyard in early spring, Ji Huai coughed badly, and his throat was so dry that his ears ached.

Normally tall and stooped, Ji Huai stooped and grabbed the door frame, coughing non-stop.The young man hurriedly poured a cup of tea, held it in his palm and blew it to warm it up, and sent it over.Ji Huai couldn't see, so the young man carefully reached out and grabbed the corner of Ji Huai's sleeve, leading him to reach out and hold the cup of hot tea.

Ji Huai was very depressed, and his brows twisted into Chuanzi: "I don't know what you want, but the emperor put me here to let me fend for myself. If you are ordered to assassinate me, that's a big deal." You don't need to work hard. You just kill me directly, and no one will care."

"How could I kill you? I..." The young man had an inexplicable reason, choked in his throat, and blushed to explain, "I just want to serve the Fourth Prince."

Ji Huai said nothing, he pushed the teacup back to the young man, and walked into the house in a few steps.The boy was at a loss, so he stood outside the door with his head down in frustration.

Ji Huai closed the door behind his back, he just didn't want to be seen again and again in his current appearance.

In the past, although he was not favored since he was a child, in the past few years, he could be regarded as the wind and the rain. The officials and ministers vie for favor, enjoying the extravagance of the imperial city.But who would have thought that he would fall into the hands of his imperial brothers.The emperor's family is the most ruthless in the world. For the crown prince, the brothers even disregarded the most basic face and affection.

They blinded his eyes with poison, charged him with the crime of adultery with foreign enemies, and made him spend half a year in the dungeon incapable of surviving or dying.

Now, he was driven to this mountain country to fend for himself.

He had twists and turns since he was a child, and killed his mother and concubine at birth. The emperor ignored him, and even the palace eunuchs despised him, and no one treated him well.If it wasn't for the bandit invasion two years ago, he became famous in one battle and regained his father's favor, wouldn't he be jealous and end up like this today?

Ji Huai is indifferent by nature, and because he was used to the warmth and coldness of people when he was young, he treats others extremely coldly.Now that he is in trouble, there is no one to help him, not even the officials who fawned on him in the past have no one to speak for him, and they all voted for new owners.

He sat in the house all afternoon, coughing uninterrupted.

Ever since he lost his eyesight, he no longer knows about the dawn and sunset, but only knows that there are sparrows chirping in the morning and crows singing in the setting sun. Relying on these, Ji Huai will hold the bamboo stick that explores the way and walk slowly to the stove in the backyard. Cook something to eat.Sometimes it's noodles, sometimes it's bread.Dross food, the taste is naturally not good.

At first, Ji Huai didn't even know how to start a fire, but because he couldn't see, he even burned his clothes a few times, so he was very embarrassed.When he first came, he brought a servant with him.But the servant saw that he was blind, and no one asked them, he ran away within a few days, and took all the money Ji Huai brought with him.If Aunt Zhang, a passing peasant woman, hadn't kindly pawned a piece of jade pendant he brought for him, and sent him some pasta every month, he would have starved to death.

Except for his small footsteps, there was no other sound around the stove.

Naturally, Ji Huai never expected that boy, he made it clear that everyone knew that he should stay away from him.

The next moment.

"Is the fourth prince hungry?" The young man walked over sweating profusely, holding a basket of herbs that he didn't know where he came from.Ji Huai took a step back subconsciously, the young man stopped when he saw it, put the basket of herbs by his feet, and wiped his hands on his body.The white shirt was covered with dirt and dust. He tied his hair in a ponytail and wiped the sweat from his forehead. "I'm going to cook right away."

"Why don't you leave?" Ji Huai suspected that he couldn't understand people's words.

The young man whispered, and answered irrelevantly: "Two days ago, I learned how to make egg noodles with Aunt Zhang in the village at the foot of the mountain. It was very delicious." He emphasized the second half of the sentence.

Ji Huai had a headache.

But after the previous toss, the young man has no teacher to make a fire.

Ji Huai couldn't resist him, so he could only sit and wait calmly.Not long after, I smelled the aroma of fried eggs.After eating noodles and steamed buns for a long time, I suddenly smelled the aroma of eggs, and my stomach was rumbling after a long absence.Ji Huai's stomach couldn't help making a 'gurgling' sound, and he immediately stretched out his hands to hold his stomach, and felt a slight redness behind his ears.

The boy paused, then pursed his lips quietly.

A bowl of hot egg noodles was brought to Ji Huai, the boy passed the chopsticks over, and still grabbed Ji Huai's sleeve with one hand to let him locate the bowl of noodles.The boy's cooking skills are much better than Ji Huai's. Ji Huai hasn't eaten such satisfactory pasta for a long time.

Seeing him start eating noodles, the boy squatted aside and began to fiddle with the herbs in the basket.

Ji Huai heard the sound and asked, "What are you doing?"

"I found some herbs for my cough."

Ji Huai's hand holding the chopsticks paused for a moment, and finally said, "What's your intention?" He had been in the dungeon for a long time, and his guard was much stronger.

Only he himself knows the boy's intentions.His intention is to repay the favor.

Tell him that 300 years ago, as a fairy, he broke off a peach blossom and brought it back to the heaven, and only then did he become who he is today.Also report my 300 years of unreachable love for Xianjun.

But the boy can't say that he sneaked down to earth.Taking advantage of Xianjun's blindness in this life and not being able to see what he looks like, he came here to say a few words of his own.Once the suffering is over, the status of Xianjun is very different from him, and it is absolutely out of reach.The young man was very bold and indulged himself once.

"Is intention important?" The young man said in a muffled voice, concentrating on sorting out herbs.

This stopped Ji Huai, he thought of his situation, it was nothing if he wanted anything.Except for one life, whoever wants it will take it.Intention, does it really matter?

Even if the boy really came to kill him, it was just his life.

The chopsticks in Ji Huai's hands moved, and he picked up some noodles and stuffed them into his mouth.One bite, two bites, he ate very happily, he hadn't eaten a meal so comfortably for a long time.

"What's your name?"

The boy looked up happily, stopped the herbs in his hand, opened his mouth, but he didn't have a name.The young man didn't want Ji Huai to suspect that he didn't even have a name, so he looked around, only seeing peach blossoms all over the mountain.

"Peach...Peach..." He couldn't make up any nonsense, and he was anxious.

"Tao Tao? The surname is Tao from Taoyi, and the word is... Taohua's peach?" Ji Huai continued, "If so, your name is quite interesting."

"I also find it interesting." Tao Tao was delighted.

"Where is your home?"

"I don't have a home, and I don't know who my parents are."

But from now on, his name is Tao Tao, which was given by Ji Huai, and he likes it very much.
