Chapter 79: The Peach Blossom Forest Suddenly
For Liu Xiu, the experiences of Linjiang City, the people he has seen, the scenery he has seen, or the things he has experienced are just a matter of neither heavy nor light during his journey.
I have seen it, walked it, experienced it, and that's it.
It was written on paper and was silent in his mind. Perhaps after time, he occasionally found these memories, but it was just a small story buried deep in his heart.
This life is actually very short. For this world, after time flies, Liu Xiu is just a passerby. Similarly, the people he has met in Linjiang City are just passers-by in his life.
In this world, martial arts are developed. Liu Xiu could think that the so-called martial arts pursuit is nothing more than the evolution of life. People always sigh that people's life is too short, so martial arts should essentially pursue the extension of life.
However, how long can a martial arts ultimate last? A thousand years or ten thousand years? For the entire world, a thousand years is just a blink of an eye.
So, he wanted to live comfortably in his limited life and see more scenery. In this way, when he reached the end of his life, he might have fewer regrets, and at that time he could have less sighs of "I haven't been doing anything in my life."
He didn't know if he would have an intersection with Xia Haitanglin Jianghe and the others in the future. After all, the sky is vast and the earth is vast, and many times, after accidental encounters and separations, it will be a lifetime separation.
There may be intersections in the future, but that is just a continuation of the story now. As for what the story will become, Liu Xiu doesn’t know, and he doesn’t think so much. It would be too boring if he thinks so clearly about everything in life and the future.
In Liu Xiu's journey planning, he would only experience two cities until his destination Zuihuayin. Linjiang City is the first city. He mainly wanted to see what the city in this world is like. After Linjiang City, he would go to Zuihuayin along a relatively remote place, because the real beauty is in the mountains and wilderness, and he met inadvertently. The feeling of illumination in front of him is Liu Xiu's pursuit. Deliberately chasing the so-called beautiful scenery in others' mouths is not what Liu Xiu wants.
The second city on his journey was near the shade of the drunk flowers, which was almost the end of his journey. The reason he wanted to go there was because Liu Xiu learned from the book that there was a kind of wine called Baihua Brewing in that city, which was famous all over the world, and he wanted to go to the place of origin to taste it.
Then, he would go to the drunken flowers to see the sea of flowers and see what the so-called plot looks like. Will there really be many young men and women dressed up in a colorful way and search for the person they like on that day? The scene of looking forward to love in the blooming flowers will definitely be beautiful, right?
At the end, he returned to the mansion and returned to the mountains. At that time, he went to guard the crops he planted, waiting for them to mature little by little, and was full of expectation.
After leaving Linjiang City, Liu Xiu was empty-minded and walked along the main road for several hours. After the crowds gradually became scarce, he embarked on a country road. He didn't know what he would meet next. In short, meeting was better than meeting by chance. The unknown was worth looking forward to.
I walked along the path for more than an hour. Although they were all wilderness, the season when everything sprouted was also unique.
The sound of streams ding in front of him came. After Liu Xiu turned over a small forest, he saw a clear stream. The stream was not wide, only three or five meters away. There was a mottled stone bridge standing quietly above. I don’t know how many spring and autumn I have witnessed, and I don’t know how many people have left footprints on it.
"Maybe there have been countless stories of joys and sorrows on the stone bridge..."
Standing on the stone bridge, Liu Xiu murmured as he watched the stream water, his thoughts flying, as if he was about to penetrate time and follow the past. He imagined the scenes that had happened on the stone bridge in his mind, but they were all too hazy, and they could not be seen or grasped.
After staying for a while, the sun was at its peak, and he was a little hungry.
His keen senses made him discover that in the woods not far away, there was a fat rabbit gnawing on the tender grass of spring, and his little mouth was particularly cute.
Then the rabbit was held in his hand shortly afterwards, and it was the next lunch.
Just by the clear stream, Liu Xiu ended his life without letting the rabbit feel pain. He peeled and cleaned his stomach, applied salted pepper and other seasonings, wore it with a stick, and then roasted it.
A simple stove was built with stones by the stream. I picked up firewood. Soon after, the flames rose, and the rabbits roasted on the bonfire and the fragrance began to spread.
It is worth mentioning that Liu Xiu is no longer so troublesome to ignite fire. He no longer has to drill wood to make fire, but uses the fire-making tools of this world to make fire.
Those are two metal pieces, and Mars will be generated when they collide and friction. Of course, it is not as convenient as lighters. It is somewhat similar to the fire sickle used by the "Ancients" in Liu Xiu's memory.
"Now I can feel the wind, and the wind can be controlled simply by me. I don't know when I can rub a fireball or something..." Liu Xiu, a roasted rabbit, imagined the future bored in his heart.
Since the wind can be controlled by myself, it is not impossible to rub a fireball or something? Of course, Liu Xiu did not deliberately pursue it, it depends on fate. Maybe one day it will happen, just like feeling the wind.
Let it go, that day may not be too far away...
When the rabbit was finished, Liu Xiu sat under the shade of the tree by the stream and enjoyed it. The stream water was twitching and the breeze blew on his face. He watched the world sprout. He drank the monkey wine he brought from time to time, and was quiet and leisurely.
Liu Xiu likes the feeling of being slightly drunk. He feels very relaxed. There will not be so many messy sadness in his head, but it will not cause his thinking to be confused.
Half of the fat roasted rabbit, Liu Xiu subconsciously narrowed his eyes and twitched his nose gently. He smelled a wisp of flowers brought by the breeze, which was very light but refreshing.
So he held the half-eat roasted rabbit in his hand, carried a basket on his back, and left looking for the fragrance of flowers.
Following the path by the stream, turning over a small mountain, the eyes suddenly became clear.
In front of him, there was a large peach forest. The pink peach blossoms were blooming in a gorgeous time. The breeze blew, and the fragrance of flowers was pouring out.
Deep in the peach forest, thatched huts appear and dotted in the middle, and occasionally the sound of chickens crowing and dogs barking comes.
"The quiet and peaceful mountain village is just like this..."
With a smile on his face, Liu Xiu knew that this place was not a so-called paradise, but just a quiet mountain village. He was very glad that he did not decide to walk along the main road, otherwise he would have seen such a view there?
He had no intention of disturbing the tranquility here, but a helpless cry of a young child never dissipated for a long time, so he had to look for the sound and leave.
In the peach forest, a little guy with a head and a brain cried with tears in his eyes, holding a wooden wheel in his hand and looking at a peach tree crying so sadly.
Liu Xiu looked up and saw a kite hanging on the peach tree.
This scene touched Liu Xiu a little. The last time I flew a kite in my memory was already a very distant thing.
So he smiled and asked, "Little guy, do you need help?"
The little guy with a thorny head is only three or four years old. He subconsciously stopped crying when he heard Liu Xiu's voice. He seemed to be less than the age of fear of being alive. He nodded at Liu Xiu, then put a finger in his mouth and began to drool.
Liu Xiu looked at half of the roasted rabbit in his hand, laughed and handed it over and said, "No, eat it, don't cry, next brother will make you a trick, don't be scared, look good!"
The child then gnawed Liu Xiu's roasted rabbit, eating it voraciously, and stopped crying. While gnawing, he widened his eyes and watched Liu Xiu become a so-called trick.
Liu Xiu thought about it here, and the rain of flowers flew around him, slightly blocking the child's vision. His figure floated up. He came to the peach treetop to take down the kite and then fell down lightly. When the rain of flowers dissipated, he handed the kite to the child and said, "Look, I have taken your kite, isn't it fun?"
"Big brother is so amazing. The kite is in your hands as soon as the petals fly." The child took the time to raise his head and wrapped the rabbit meat in his mouth and said in surprise.
Seeing that the child was holding a roast rabbit in both hands and had no time to receive a kite, Liu Xiu simply sat beside him and asked, "Little guy, where is your adult? Why are you flying kites alone here?"
"My parents have gone to the fields to work, and no one has played with me..." the child said with a blink of an eye, and then tears fell.
This is how the child is, crying as soon as he says he does not have any signs.
Slightly speechless, Liu Xiu touched his head and said, "If there is no one to play with you, how about I play with you?"
"Okay, okay, what are the big brothers going to play with me?" The child said happily and his tears were taken back in an instant. It was simply magical.
"Just fly kites. I'm so good at flying kites. I can fly very high ones," said Liu Xiu, holding up the child's kite.
This is a swallow-shaped kite, which is not colored and is relatively rough. It should be made by someone with poor skills.
"The big brother should fly a kite, it's the kind that's tall," the child said expectantly.
For Liu Xiu, flying a kite is nothing difficult at all. As the thought arises, the breeze slowly sends the kite to the sky. After a while, the threads on the wooden wheels were all put out.
"Wow, it's so tall, even taller than Erya's flying." The kid looking at the kite in the sky, who was actually only a few dozen meters tall, said excitedly.
Liu Xiu had no time to ask about who Erya, and played with the child for a while. He heard a vague sound of calling the child from afar, so he quickly took the kite back and returned it to the child and said, "Little guy, I have a lot of fun with you, but I have to leave, I'm lucky to see you."
As he said that, Liu Xiu touched the child's head and turned around and left.
He had no intention of disturbing the tranquility here. He came here by chance, playing with the children, just to remember his childhood a little.
Suddenly, he encountered the beautiful scenery of the Peach Blossom Forest. He did not stay too much because there were more surprises waiting for him on the way forward.
"Where did the roasted rabbit come from? It smells so good. Give my dad a bite. By the way, who was talking to you just now?"
Liu Xiu, who was leaving, vaguely heard such a sound from the peach blossom forest...
