flagship summer song
Chapter 11 Taolin
Taohuazhuang is surrounded by peach forests, and the environment in the village is very quiet, especially at night.
The owner of Taozhuang led Xu Xiaoxian to a bedroom and left him alone. He went back to sleep. Xu Xiaoxian walked to the bed and touched the bed made of peach wood. The raised tumor on the trunk was also polished. Get smooth.
Taomu wards off evil spirits, no wonder the owner of Taozhuang lives so peacefully by himself.Xu Xiaoxian smiled softly, didn't feel sleepy for a while, had nothing to do, looked around the room, walked to the desk, and suddenly saw a bronze mirror, his appearance was reflected in the bronze mirror.
The teacher taught him to look at people's faces. A person with a broad forehead is an official face, a person with a pouty mouth is smart, and a person with thick earlobes is blessed. Let him look at himself. No matter how he looks at it, he looks like a poor man. He couldn't help sighing. The wound on his shoulder started to hurt for no reason. He frowned, thinking that he didn't eat anything he should avoid, and he didn't drink alcohol.
He brightened the candle, took off his clothes lightly, and looked at the wound on his shoulder in front of the bronze mirror. The bright red scab seemed to be ready to spurt blood at any time. He turned around, and the wound pierced by a sword was behind him. There was also a shallow wound on his back. He looked at the man in the bronze mirror, and brushed back his long black hair, revealing the centipede-like scar on his back, as if he had been grabbed and torn away A layer of flesh.
He looked at the terrifying scar, smiled contemptuously, and said to the person in the bronze mirror: "Since ancient times, emperors and generals have not had such a 'record' like yours. I don't know how much merit this scar can achieve." ? It would be a good deal if you can get an official position, but it's a pity that you are still just a poor person..."
While Xu Xiaoxian was getting dressed, she walked to the window. Outside the window, the peach forest was dark and dark, only the starlight of the summer night and the chirping of insects. From time to time, the wind would sneak into the room, carrying a faint fragrance.
He stood in front of the window for a long time, suddenly wanted to go out for a walk, found a coat in the room to wrap it up, then quietly walked out the door, looked back at Master Taozhuang's bedroom, tapped his feet lightly, He jumped onto the roof, and then lightly jumped out of the manor.
There is no moonlight tonight, but the peach forest is not completely dark. When Xu Xiaoxian stepped into the peach forest, two or three fireflies were startled, and then sparkling bugs flew up wherever his footsteps landed. Flying out of the grass will lead to countless insects flying into the air, as if the stars in the entire night sky have fallen into this peach forest.
Xu Xiaoxian reached out and broke off a peach leaf, put it near his mouth, and blew lightly. It was the song played by Taozhuang Master on the stone when he first came, but it didn't have the passion of Taozhuang Zhuangzhu's water hitting the stone. , just like this night, warm and cool as water, quiet and peaceful.
At the end of the song, a gust of wind came, and the insects returned to calm, and the stars also sank into the soil, disappearing.
Xu Xiaoxian put the peach leaf into his mouth and chewed it, he felt bitter, so he spat it out, wiped his mouth, and looked up in the woods, saw a thick and dense peach tree, he was delighted, and jumped Climb on the branch, put your arms behind your head, and lean against the trunk, you can see the starlight between the leaves of the treetops. It is very comfortable, squinting your eyes, and fell asleep easily.
The next day, Chen Yao bid farewell to his husband and the little goddess, and was on his way back to the Chen Mansion when he suddenly wanted to visit Peach Blossom Village, so he turned his horse and ran towards Peach Blossom Village.
The owner of Taozhuang has already woken up, seeing that there is no one in Xu Xiaoxian's room, he didn't care about it as he left by himself, he looked up to see the sun just in time, so he took out the tender peach leaves picked a few days ago and spread them in the yard Just as I finished spreading a dustpan, I heard the sound of horseshoes galloping in the distance.
Chen Yao got off his horse in front of the gate of the manor, and when he saw the owner of Taozhuang coming, he clasped his fists respectfully and asked respectfully, "I came here for the first time and accidentally disturbed your Excellency, how dare I ask if this is Taohuazhuang?"
"Exactly." The owner of Taozhuang showed his eyes from between his black hair, and looked Chen Yao up and down.
"So, did anyone stay here last night?"
The owner of Taozhuang nodded with a smile, turned his back to Chen Yao, but said, "The person you are looking for has already left."
"Wait a minute," Chen Yao saw that he didn't intend to continue to pay attention to him, so he quickly stopped him, and asked again: "Excuse me, are you the owner of Taozhuang?"
"Yes," the owner of Taozhuang turned his head, glanced at Chen Yao, stopped suddenly, looked up at the sky, and said to himself: "Last night, the half-immortal said that I would have good luck in the near future. The young master is also quite handsome, could it be that he is my predestined person?"
Chen Yao frowned, he heard every word of Tao Zhuang Master's words, he really didn't know whether to be angry or funny, but he was a little relieved, at least Xu Xiaoxian still had time to count luck for others, presumably the injury was not serious so serious.
Chen Yao coughed lightly, and asked, "Dare to ask the owner, where did that half-immortal go?"
Master Taozhuang came back to his senses, scratched his scalp, and said: "Where else can that guy go, of course he is going home."
"I just came here from his house, and I didn't see him all the way," Chen Yao looked at the owner of Taozhuang, but he didn't feel that the other party was lying to him, but he really didn't see Xu Xiaoxian all the way here.
"Then go and have a look in the peach grove," the owner of Taozhuang stretched, raised his finger and pointed to the peach grove behind the manor, looked back at the horse led by Chen Yao, and warned: "Then Don't take the beast with you, I will be angry if you disturb my Taolin."
Chen Yao nodded and thanked the owner of Taozhuang, led the horse to a tree outside the manor, tied it up, and walked into the peach forest.
There is fog in the peach forest in the early morning. When people walk in, they are immediately shrouded in a layer of white mist, making it difficult to see the surrounding environment clearly.
Chen Yao walked in the forest for a while, looked up and saw that the sun had risen a little bit, the fog began to lighten, and the surrounding scenery gradually became clear. Midsummer is not the season of peach blossoms. The peach forest stretches as far as the eye can see. There are green leaves, and the new leaves are rushing to the branches first. Climb, the old leaves are deep, blocking the growing little Taoer.
Chen Yao looked around for a week, and out of the corner of his eye, he saw half of his clothes protruding from a tree. When he got closer, he saw that it was Xu Xiaoxian, who was still deeply asleep, and he didn't notice the people under the tree at all.
"Half Immortal?" Chen Yao called softly, but the people on the tree didn't hear it.
Chen Yao yelled a few more times. The person on the tree was probably having a good dream, but didn't respond at all. Chen Yao frowned, and suddenly imitated his husband's tone and called: "Ping'er."
The cry was not loud, but it easily broke into Xu Xiaoxian's dream, and woke him up instantly. Xu Xiaoxian thought that the husband was coming to arrest him, and forgot that he was still on the tree, and panicked for a while. Xia actually fell from the tree, and Chen Yao hurried forward to catch him, but fell to the ground together with him.
Before Xu Xiaoxian could react, she quickly got up, knelt down on the ground, kowtowed and shouted, "Mister, please forgive me."
Chen Yao's butt hurt from the fall, but he couldn't help laughing. Xu Xiaoxian heard the laughter familiar, rubbed his eyes, and straightened his waist. Only then did he see that it was Chen Yao, and his face blushed involuntarily. After a while, he grabbed the weeds at hand and threw them on Chen Yao, cursing: "Chen Yao! How dare you play me! You called me too!"
Chen Yao was too lazy to quarrel, and smiled while avoiding the grass leaves and roots thrown by Xu Xiaoxian, while getting up, stretched out his hand to pull Xu Xiaoxian up from the ground, and asked, "Are you okay?"
"I was going to die a second ago!" Xu Xiaoxian was full of resentment. When he fell down just now, he tore the wound, and now he felt the pain when he was asked, so he simply sat back on the ground and pretended to cry: "Oh, it hurts, the wound It's cracked again, it can't be done, Xiaoxian is going to find Grandpa Immortal, this world is too dark, even patients are bullied, Xiaoxian won't stay here anymore..."
"Don't talk nonsense, untie your clothes and let me see." Chen Yao couldn't laugh or cry seeing him messing around, but he also knew that he would definitely get hurt when he fell down just now, so he squatted beside Xu Xiaoxian to untie his clothes.
Seeing him approaching, Xu Xiaoxian quickly grabbed his clothes and rolled, hid behind a tree, and said, "What do you want to do in broad daylight!"
"I'll check your wound! What are you thinking about all day long!" Chen Yao was really going to die of anger from this guy, he reached out and grabbed Xu Xiaoxian's wrist and dragged him to him, but Xu Xiaoxian still twisted his arms to escape, he Somewhat annoyed, he said: "If you move around again, I will touch your acupuncture points, and the wound will be opened after a while. When do you want this wound to heal?"
Seeing that Chen Yao was really angry, Xu Xiaoxian stopped struggling and just lowered his head to let Chen Yao unbutton his clothes to reveal the wound on his shoulder.
Chen Yao looked at the wound, and found that it was not cracked, but the area around the wound was red and swollen. He felt that although Xu Xiaoxian was seriously injured and his physical condition was not good, but the wound seemed to be recovering much faster than ordinary people. This hurt to this day It didn't take long to recuperate, but it was no longer a serious problem.
He couldn't help but glanced a few more times, he wanted to look carefully so as not to miss the root cause of the disease, but his eyes unconsciously glanced at Xu Xiaoxian's back, his fingertips slid across the soft scar, but it was so irritating Trembling slightly, he quickly withdrew his hands. Xu Xiaoxian didn't look at him, but just put on his clothes. His long black hair hung down on both sides to block his face. Chen Yao couldn't see his expression clearly.
Chen Yao felt that he had hurt Xu Xiaoxian, and said softly, "I'm sorry, I..."
Xu Xiaoxian shook his head, raised his head slightly, his eyes were blurred, he looked at Chen Yao, suddenly smiled, and asked, "Do you want to know how that injury came about?"
Chen Yao froze for a moment, then nodded slightly.
"Where do I start..." Xu Xiaoxian looked up at the sky, let out a long breath, blinked hard, and suddenly thought of something, then retracted his gaze, looked at Chen Yao squarely, and put on a serious expression. Pointing to his own face, he asked, "What do you think I look like?"
"Ah? How about what?" Chen Yao was so asked that he didn't know how to answer. Seeing his eyes full of anticipation, he thought for a while before carefully saying: "...pretty, pretty?"
Xu Xiaoxian was not surprised by this answer, nor was she angry. Instead, she covered her mouth and laughed for a while, before saying, "Mr. told you about my childhood, my mother gave birth to me prematurely. I was thin and small, and they all said that I couldn’t support myself, and I couldn’t grow up even if I did, so I’m afraid, sir, you know that once people are afraid of something, they will believe in some strange things.”
"what?"
"Raise boys like girls. When I was young, I heard those parents-in-law said that children can be raised in this way. I didn't wear boy's clothes for the first time until I was ten years old. In the end, I was caught by Hades, and a piece of my back was torn off. The meat was sent back, and then I recovered from my illness. My husband wanted me to save my life, so he wanted me to wear girls’ clothes. But at that time, I didn’t like listening to my husband’s words very much, and I stopped wearing women’s clothes after that. But it seems that some people will admit their mistakes."
Chen Yao couldn't help but feel hot when he heard this, but Xu Xiaoxian also deliberately concealed his identity at that time, so it can't be all his blind eyesight.
"So your injury was caused by Hades? Didn't you see Hades because of your injury?"
"Believe it or not, it was Yan Wang who made it anyway."
"But why did Hades hurt you and put you back? What does he want your flesh for?"
Xu Xiaoxian propped his chin with one hand, imitating Chen Yao's frown, and said: "Yes, what does the king of hell want my meat for, maybe he is hungry, and wants to eat some boy meat, then he will find me in the book of life and death. Before the end of life, I tore a piece of meat and threw it back."
Chen Yao frowned even more when he heard this, and he didn't know whether to believe it or not. Xu Xiaoxian always spoke the truth and adulterated it, so he couldn't figure out what to believe.
Seeing his frown, Xu Xiaoxian couldn't help laughing, and asked again: "Chen Yao, do you believe in fate?"
Chen Yao froze for a moment, nodded his head, shook his head after a while, and said, "I don't know, do you believe it?"
"Of course I believe it. I just tell people's fortunes. Don't I believe it myself?"
"But..." Chen Yao had an indescribable feeling in his heart. He didn't want to believe in the so-called fortune-telling, but when he got along with Xu Xiaoxian these days, he felt that the other party seemed to be able to foresee the future. He didn't like that kind of feeling very much.
Xu Xiaoxian seemed to see his thoughts, and said: "Believe in orders, or you don't have to obey orders."
He got up from the ground, stretched his waist, and continued to explain: "I have been told that I can't support myself since I was a child, and my husband is always sad. You know that I learned my skills from my husband. I can see The fate of other people, sir can naturally see mine, sir said my fate is bad, I believe sir, but I don't accept fate, I not only want to live a good life, I also want to let others live a good life."
"That's why you made that flag to replace/eliminate/disasters for /people? You want to change your own destiny, but you also want to change others'?"
"Correct."
"But, there is a price to pay, right?" Chen Yao thought to himself, a person's fate can be changed no matter what.
"You missed a sentence just now, it's 'Take other people's money and eliminate disasters for /people'. If you can't pay that price, who will eliminate disasters for you? Xiaoxian doesn't do business at a loss."
Hearing this, Chen Yao couldn't help but frowned again, remembering what the husband had said to him that night.
Chen Yao: "If I knew at that time that you would encounter such a thing when you went to the north of the city with me..."
"Mr. Chen, this is fate. I don't think too much about it. At the beginning, there was a calamity in my life. Even if it wasn't you, there would be someone else. If it were someone else, Xiaoxian might not be here now."
"So I broke your calamity?"
Xu Xiaoxian rolled his eyes, and said: "Master, it would be a loss for Xiaoxian if you do this, you and I are destined to have a catastrophe that day, but you are willing to give Xiaoxian the gold ingot so that Xiaoxian can buy it for you. That umbrella."
Chen Yao was stunned for a moment, and touched the oil-paper umbrella behind him. After thinking about it carefully, this umbrella had already protected him from a rain, an assassination, a fire, and a group of bats. It was not lost, nor was it damaged.
Xu Xiaoxian walked behind Chen Yao, stretched out his hand to touch the smooth handle of the oil-paper umbrella, and said softly: "I thought this umbrella could only protect you from disaster, but I didn't expect it to save my life in the end. Not bad."
Chen Yao lowered his head and pondered for a while, just as he was about to speak, he saw a gray pigeon flying from the sky, flapping its wings and landing on Xu Xiaoxian's shoulder, Xu Xiaoxian caught the pigeon in his hand, and took a small round bamboo tube from the pigeon's leg , So he threw the dove back into the sky, but the dove refused to fly away, so it landed on the top of a peach tree nearby and pecked its feathers.
Xu Xiaoxian looked at the pigeon, and couldn't help frowning. Chen Yao walked closer, and then he opened the bamboo tube, and poured out a small piece of paper. When he unfolded it, there were only two scrawled words——
Help.
The owner of Taozhuang led Xu Xiaoxian to a bedroom and left him alone. He went back to sleep. Xu Xiaoxian walked to the bed and touched the bed made of peach wood. The raised tumor on the trunk was also polished. Get smooth.
Taomu wards off evil spirits, no wonder the owner of Taozhuang lives so peacefully by himself.Xu Xiaoxian smiled softly, didn't feel sleepy for a while, had nothing to do, looked around the room, walked to the desk, and suddenly saw a bronze mirror, his appearance was reflected in the bronze mirror.

Let him look at himself. No matter how he looks at it, he looks like a poor man. He couldn't help sighing. The wound on his shoulder started to hurt for no reason. He frowned, thinking that he didn't eat anything he should avoid, and he didn't drink alcohol.
He brightened the candle, took off his clothes lightly, and looked at the wound on his shoulder in front of the bronze mirror. The bright red scab seemed to be ready to spurt blood at any time. He turned around, and the wound pierced by a sword was behind him. There was also a shallow wound on his back. He looked at the man in the bronze mirror, and brushed back his long black hair, revealing the centipede-like scar on his back, as if he had been grabbed and torn away A layer of flesh.

"Mr. Chen, this is fate. I don't think too much about it. At the beginning, there was a calamity in my life. Even if it wasn't you, there would be someone else. If it were someone else, Xiaoxian might not be here now."
"So I broke your calamity?"
Xu Xiaoxian rolled his eyes, and said: "Master, it would be a loss for Xiaoxian if you do this, you and I are destined to have a catastrophe that day, but you are willing to give Xiaoxian the gold ingot so that Xiaoxian can buy it for you. That umbrella."
Chen Yao was stunned for a moment, and touched the oil-paper umbrella behind him. After thinking about it carefully, this umbrella had already protected him from a rain, an assassination, a fire, and a group of bats. It was not lost, nor was it damaged.
Xu Xiaoxian walked behind Chen Yao, stretched out his hand to touch the smooth handle of the oil-paper umbrella, and said softly: "I thought this umbrella could only protect you from disaster, but I didn't expect it to save my life in the end. Not bad."
Chen Yao lowered his head and pondered for a while, just as he was about to speak, he saw a gray pigeon flying from the sky, flapping its wings and landing on Xu Xiaoxian's shoulder, Xu Xiaoxian caught the pigeon in his hand, and took a small round bamboo tube from the pigeon's leg , So he threw the dove back into the sky, but the dove refused to fly away, so it landed on the top of a peach tree nearby and pecked its feathers.
Xu Xiaoxian looked at the pigeon, and couldn't help frowning. Chen Yao walked closer, and then he opened the bamboo tube, and poured out a small piece of paper. When he unfolded it, there were only two scrawled words——
Help.
