Chapter 206 Peach Blossom Fairy
There is a lush green peach forest on the hillside of Huaitong Mountain, 16 miles west of Wanyang City. The scenery here is picturesque all year round, peach blossoms bloom all the time, and even the ground is covered with pink petals.
According to people who go up the mountain to cut firewood, collect medicine or go on an outing, there is always a woman singing voice in the peach forest. Although the song is erratic, it can be heard melodiously, and there is an ethereal spirit that purifies people's hearts.
People in Wanyang City are rumored that there is a beautiful and kind fairy living in the peach blossom forest on Huaitong Mountain, which specializes in helping people who encounter difficulties on the mountain.
The weather in spring is always drizzling, especially in the mountains and forests.
A girl in pink and green clothes and tied in a double bun poked out half of her body from a dense peach tree, and her big eyes wide and flashed stared at the woodcutter slowly passing under the tree. She is Xuanyuan Huaisheng, who sealed all her memories.
The woodcutter is no longer young. At this time, the firewood on his back absorbs water vapor and looks heavier and heavier. He stopped, removed the firewood, sat under the tree and rested.
The cool breeze was slight, and the woodcutter was so tired that he fell asleep against the tree trunk.
Xuanyuan Huaisheng floated down from the tree, floating a foot away in front of him, looking curiously at the wrinkled old man.
The blue-brown snake circled behind the peach tree, passed through the firewood pile, and was ready to leave. At this moment, the woodcutter waved his arm in his sleep and hit the snake.
The little snake was frightened and bit the back of the woodcutter's hand fiercely, and the deadly venom was instantly injected into his body.
Xuanyuan Huaisheng was also shocked by the little snake and hurriedly dodged and hid in the tree.
"Ah!" The woodcutter woke up and only had time to see a touch of bluish brown disappearing in the grass, and there were two thin wounds on his hand.
Walking on the mountain all year round, he immediately realized that he was poisoned. He was in a hurry to look for the antidote, but he forgot that his body bones were not as good as before. Before he fully stood up, there was a sharp pain in his head, and his eyes fell down again.
The venom is spreading rapidly. If he continues to delay, he can only die of poison and die in this wilderness.
The woodcutter raised his hand with difficulty and reached out to the empty front...
"Are you all right?" A pair of soft small hands held his withered old hand at this time, and Xuanyuan Huaisheng finally couldn't help but show up.
The woodcutter's last consciousness only saw that among the pink petals flying all over the sky, a fairy dressed in green looked at herself gently. Then he lost all consciousness.
"In this way, the peach blossom fairy used the magic, saved the woodcutter's life, and then disappeared in the depths of the peach forest." The storyteller said in the teahouse, as if he were the rescued woodcutter.
The guests who drank tea listened with relish and applauded.
Xuanyuan Huaisheng, who was mixed in the crowd, did not understand that what everyone told and listened to was his own story. He only quietly drank tea and knocked on melon seeds to pass the time.
She is bored on the mountain and occasionally goes down the mountain to the market to play. After several attempts, she learned to bring some wild fruit, mountain ginseng herbs and other things from the mountain in exchange for silver money, and then buy something to eat.
Seeing that she is beautiful and cute, the shining and simple people take good care of her. Occasionally, they see her make some harmless jokes and enthusiastically guide her way of survival.
People never thought that the peach blossom fairy passed down by many people was actually the confused little girl around them.
Renxintang is the most frequent pharmacy visited by Xuanyuan Huaisheng. The first time she took the herb down the mountain, she sold it to Renxintang under the guidance of the enthusiastic aunt. Therefore, every time she brings the herbs down the mountain, she will send it to Renxintang as soon as possible.
On this day, she also took the herb to the pharmacy, changed the money, and then went to the teahouse to listen to the book. Even if she doesn't understand what she is talking about, the lively atmosphere allows her to spend the whole day happily.
The young man who helped in the pharmacy was sixteen or seven years old, and he was at the age of youth and ignorance. He has been careful of Xuanyuan Huaisheng, a beautiful girl who often comes to the pharmacy, but Xuanyuan Huaisheng comes and goes in a hurry every time, and he has never had a chance to talk to her.
On this day, when he sorted out the medicinal herbs, he found that there was a precious wild ginseng hidden in the ordinary medicinal herbs sent by Xuanyuan Huaisheng. When the shopkeeper settled the bill, he did not notice that it was mixed with a large number of ordinary herbs, so he calculated less money.
After explaining the situation, Leng Ou took the extra money and began to look for Xuanyuan Huaisheng all over the city.
Under the guidance of everyone, he soon found Xuanyuan Huaisheng, who had just come out of the teahouse.
"Girl..." Leng Ou opened his mouth, but found that he didn't even know the other party's name, and he couldn't help but be a little frustrated.
In his stunned kung fu, Xuanyuan Huaisheng had jumped away in the direction of the city gate. He didn't think about it, so he chased after him.
He just wanted to catch up with the figure in front of him, but Leng Ou didn't find that even if Xuanyuan Huaisheng seemed to walk forward easily, he couldn't catch up with him at the fastest speed.
After a while, the two went out of the gate one after the other and continued to march in the direction of Huaitong Mountain.
At dusk, there are fewer and fewer pedestrians on the road. When Leng Ou noticed that there was no one around him, he was already on the periphery of the Peach Forest on the side of Huaitong Mountain.
He stopped and took a breath. A green light flashed in the corner of his eyes, and he saw Xuanyuan Huaisheng's back disappearing in the depths of the peach forest.
"Does her family live in this peach forest?" Leng Ou calmed down and saw that it was night all around.
The lights in the town are gradually rising, the stars are shining in the sky, and the full moon is rising from the other side of the mountains, and the silver glow is shining on the earth.
The mountain forest at night was full of unknown dangers, but Leng Ou only wanted to find Xuanyuan Huaisheng, so he plunged into the peach blossom forest.
Deep in the peach forest, by the clear spring pool.
Xuanyuan Huaisheng, who went out to play for a day, was in a good mood, but he was still a little concerned about the worldly fireworks stained by his body, so he jumped into the clear spring pool and bathed carefully.
Leng Ou came all the way, stumbled, but also accidentally rushed into the mountain and stone pile by the Qingquan Pool.
He was about to climb over the mountain and poked his head out from behind the stone when he saw Xuanyuan Huaisheng standing quietly in the water.
There are slightly ripples on the surface of the water, only Xuanyuan Huaisheng in white, long hair scattered on the body, and the silver moon shining all over the sky makes everything in front of you feel like a dream.
Leng Ou subconsciously held his breath and was robbed of his soul by the strange beauty. He couldn't even move his eyes all over his body.
Xuanyuan Huaisheng moved.
Spread your hands and make the moon shine, and the ripples spread to both sides. If the wings of the butterfly dance in the air.
The peach blossoms in the peach forest were inexplicably traction, turned into wind, flew to her side, flying around her, forming a flower ribbon.
Her toes gently clicked on the surface of the water, with a light posture, as graceful as a fairy.
......
"Fairy!" Suddenly starting from **, Leng Ou's eyes were full of the beautiful dance, and he didn't even know where he was.
Lao Langzhong hit him on the head with his cane: "I know the fairy all day long. I've been sleeping for two days, and I still can't get up to work!"
"Master, where's the fairy?" He covered the swollen bag on his head and found that he was in the back of the pharmacy.
"What kind of fairy? You are daydreaming again."
"Is that... a dream?" So real, so beautiful, is it just a dream? He looked at the palm of his hand, which seemed to have the touch of moss on the rock.
"I asked you to pay back the money, but you actually ran to the mountain to sleep. If the kind Uncle Mu hadn't brought you back, I'm afraid you would have fed the beasts on the mountain. The old man sighed. Why is this apprentice so unso good?
Leng Ou flattened his mouth, hurriedly put on his shoes, and went to help with the work.
In the teahouse, the bustle is still there.
The storyteller is telling the story of the peach blossom fairy. Although it is told every day, every issue has an unexpected storyline, and everyone is happy about it.
In the corner, Xuanyuan Huaisheng held a plate of melon seeds as usual and looked at the crowd with a smile.
On the elegant seat on the second floor, a handsome young man, dressed in a moon-white gown and shaking a folding fan in his hand, was also listening attentively to the story, and from time to time turned his thoughtful eyes to Xuanyuan Huaisheng in the corner. He is Zhou Chongxiao.
"Brother Zhou is also so leisurely and elegant. Come here to listen to the book?" A passing scholar saw Zhou Chongxiao on the seat and came forward to say hello.
Zhou Chongxiao smiled and said no, and greeted the other party to sit down.
"The story of this peach blossom fairy is really boring." The scholar tasted a sip of tea, sighed with satisfaction, and then poured another cup by himself, "This is a good tea brought by Brother Zhou himself. You can't taste such a great taste in this teahouse.
"Brother Sliang joked. This is the boss's private collection. Zhou also took a lot of effort to get this pot. Brother Sorghum, he drank half a pot as soon as he came.
Mr. Shi's face turned slightly red. When he raised his eyes and saw Zhou Chongxiao's smiling eyes, he was shocked to find that he had been fooled by him again: "Brother Zhou! When will you get rid of your problem of teasing people?
"Brother Sorghum, this good tea needs a good mood to complement each other. Brother Sorghum is furious. Isn't he going to be violent? Avoiding the anger of the scholar, Zhou Chongxiao took a cup of tea with a smile and turned his eyes to Xuanyuan Huaisheng again.
Mr. Shi also knew that it was useless to care, so he focused on listening to the book.
The sun rises and sets, the calm days pass day by day, and everything seems to have not changed. It's just that in the pharmacy called Renxintang, there is no girl in pink and green clothes and tied in a double bun, carrying a bamboo basket full of herbs in exchange for silver money.
