My name is Tao Han, and I am a general.

Everyone said that my name was quite cultured, a gentleman named Tao Tao, and Ling Han blooming.

The military division also said the same thing when they named me.

What about my real name?You may not believe me when I say it, but I feel that I am a man of seven feet, but when I say that name, I always feel a little shy.

Before I was a general, my name was Taoer, the peach of the peach tree, which was the name given to me by the old man.

According to the old man, he picked me up at the door of his house. It was the twelfth lunar month of winter, and the snow was whiter than the white flour on the face of the village head old Wang's aunt. It fell in balls like cotton, and it crushed his room. Dilapidated thatched cottage.

However, the old ghost was clever, seeing the situation was not good, he dragged his lame feet and ran out. As soon as he opened the courtyard door, he saw a swaddling baby lying on the ground outside the door.

At that time, Xuedu had already covered half of the swaddling clothes, and when I lifted the blanket, I saw that I was still a baby, my face was blue and lifeless, and it seemed that I would not survive. I curled up and buried him under the old peach tree at the gate of the courtyard. The hole was dug, but who knew that I suddenly stretched out my small hand and grabbed his fingers.

Later, the old man told me that he had never seen such a strong desire to survive in his life.

After snowing, he inquired in the village for a long time, but he had never heard of any family having a newborn child. In the age of famine and everyone was in danger, no one wanted to have multiple children in the family.

Ever since, the old man kept me. Anyway, he himself is a widow, so he would starve with his mouth open.It was also from that year that the half-dead and lingering peach tree outside the courtyard tremblingly bloomed a few peach blossoms, allowing the two of us to eat half-astringent and not sweet peaches for the first time, and Xiao Taoer became mine. name.

Later, the old peach tree seemed to be rejuvenated, and it became more and more luxuriant every year, and the peaches it bore became sweeter every year.

Every time the peaches are ripe, plump and round peaches hang on the branches. The peaches are tender and tender, and they will split in half with a light break. The sweet juice bursts into the mouth and nose with a sweet fragrance. A small bite of the sweetness on the tip of the tongue makes people unable to extricate themselves like falling into a river of honey.

As the saying goes, people are afraid of being famous and trees are afraid of being strong. People who are famous are most likely to be fooled, and a tree that is strong will always be chopped down.

Although no one came to carry this old peach tree, there were quite a few people who cared about the peaches.

Such a person came one day. In fact, to be honest, I had no problem with my name Taoer before, but after she came, I was not so happy.

It was a little girl, I don't remember much what she looked like at that time, I only remember two long braids, and a somewhat dirty plaid gown.

She timidly hid behind a haystack not far away, and secretly put out half of her head to look towards our courtyard.

I know she is afraid to come here. The children in the village usually don't come here, because their parents will tell them that there is a monster living in the east of the village, and if they don't obey, they will be caught and eaten by him.

Well, although I don’t want to admit it, the monster they’re talking about is an old man, probably because he’s black and thin, with a hunched waist, a blind eye and a lame leg, and a yellow tooth when he smiles, like a grandma’s ghost story The ghost in the movie, but he really doesn't eat people, let alone children.

But I also think he is a bit weird, for example, he never let me call him Dad, and he doesn't like to eat white flour steamed buns, so he always pushes him in front of me.

I was standing behind the fence, looking at her from behind the densely entwined morning glory vines, a flower blocked my sight, I stretched out my fingers to push the flower away, and she was just at the moment when I was distracted. Toes touched it.

I have my own way of dealing with peach thieves, first let them think that there is no one in the courtyard, wait for them to stand under the tree and look up at the peaches and pay attention to whether their mouths are drooling, and then they will definitely not be able to hold back Stop picking peaches, and then I will suddenly jump out with a "wow", which will scare them half to death.

I have tried this trick many times, and it never works.But after waiting for a long time, she saw that she was standing under the tree without any movement, and even tugged at the corner of her clothes with difficulty.

Could it be that the tree is too tall for her to pick it?

Sure enough, after I thought this way, I saw her rolling up her sleeves and kicking her legs, and she was about to climb up the tree. This posture was very professional, but I couldn't help it when I saw her slender wrist The corner of his mouth curled.

The next scene quickly slapped me in the face. I saw her support the tree trunk with her hands, kick her legs vigorously, and climb up this rather strong old peach tree with a brush. The biggest peach that I have guarded for a long time.

Seeing that the situation was not good, I yelled "Stop", and immediately jumped over the fence and ran over.

Probably because she never thought that there was someone in the yard, so frightened by me, she shook her body on the tree and fell down screaming.

I was terrified too, I couldn't break my head with this fall, it's not good to leave a scar on the little girl's body, so my body threw myself under her before I thought about it.

With a muffled "dong", my mind suddenly went blank, and I tasted a fishy sweetness in my mouth, followed by fine and small pains from my waist.

I've passed away, could it be that I'm going to waste here today?I haven't fought the entire Nanshan Village to become the king and hegemony, and I haven't married the village flower Xiaoya of the village head's family with a high profile.

Just when I was lost in my wild thoughts, weeping came from my back, she climbed off my back, squatted beside me and touched my exposed half face, her hands wet with tears were sticky, I I dodged unconsciously.

"How are you? Is there something wrong? I didn't mean to, woo..."

she said sobbing.

I lay down on the ground and gasped for breath. I wanted to say that it was not good, but I thought it was because I was a little girl because I was a little girl, so I waved my hands and said in a muffled voice: "It's okay, don't cry. , I am teasing you. By the way, did you fall and hurt yourself?"

"No, woo...I'll pull you up."

As she said, she was about to pull me, and there was a small black mole on the right hand she stretched out, which was very conspicuous on the back of her fair hand.

Help, I'm in so much pain that I can't even move, and she's so thin, how can she pull me, and I'm most afraid of girls crying.

"Hey, don't." I took a deep breath and twisted my waist, and found that I could move, so I managed to sit up, enduring the severe pain in my waist and said, "Well, I'll treat you to a peach, so don't cry."

"Peach? I just picked one." She wiped her tears and held a peach in front of my eyes.

When I saw it, I almost lost my breath. Isn't this the big peach I've been waiting for to ripen?This time it really lost Tao Zi and bowed down again.

Maybe it was because the sadness in my eyes was too explicit, the little girl panicked immediately, but she panicked, she still didn't forget to put the peaches in her pocket.

"Are you injured?" She frantically tried to help me up again, and there was a cry in her voice.

"It's okay, it's okay, don't need to help." I smiled at her, the sun was facing my face, and she was enveloped in a halo so that she couldn't see her expression clearly.

She withdrew her hand uncomfortably, paused, as if she had made some big decision, and said, "Thank you for protecting me from the injury, and your peach, Dad said that the kindness of dripping water will be repaid by the spring, and I will repay you in the future." Repay you."

When I first heard her say this in such a serious manner, I thought it was a little funny, so I couldn't help teasing her casually, "Oh? How do you want to repay her."

"I... I... I will tell you about my daughter-in-law in the future!"

After she said this, she ran away in a hurry. I was stunned for a while, remembering that I didn't know her name yet, so I asked her back: "What's your name?"

She turned her head, the blush on her side face had reached her ears, "Taoer, Taozi's peach."

I:"……"

I actually have the same name as a girl!In my 15 years of life, it was the first time I realized that my name seemed wrong. No wonder the old man squinted his eyes and called me "Taoer Taoer" in a low-pitched tone every time.

The more I thought about it, the more I felt sad and indignant. Just when I was thinking about how to reason with the old man, I heard his staggering footsteps coming back, and the forgotten pain in my waist returned instantly. The fishy sweetness rose up in my throat, and my brain began to roar.

When the old man came to me, he squinted his only cloudy eye and looked at me, and gently stroked my forehead with his hand as rough as dead wood. Before I knew it, I fell asleep and woke up. The old man was not there when he came, and he just put a plate of bright red peaches on the bedside.

I sat up and ate peaches without even thinking about it, I just felt that the peaches in my mouth were so sweet...

"Ahan, Ahan, it's time to wake up. Look, you are drooling in sleep. What kind of food are you eating in your dream? Tsk tsk." A hoarse voice sounded beside my ears.

I opened my eyes, and in front of me was my lieutenant general, Dongzi, who joined the army at the same year as me. After five years of life and death together, it was considered a fateful friendship. The broken moonlight around it was mixed together, making it look a little dark and unclear.

Looking back on the dream just now, I can’t remember most of the things when I was young, but this episode often appears in my dreams for some reason, like a scene of a drama that has been rehearsed
