Deep in Peach Blossoms

Chapter 20: The mountain thundered

Views:

After that day, both of them tacitly did not mention this matter. It's just that they have become more cautious when talking to each other. But even so, the daily life between the two has not changed much.

The osmanthus candy and osmanthus cake that Bai Ling mentioned to Li He earlier, as well as the osmanthus wine that he wanted to brew, are also in progress in an orderly manner.

On this day, the sky that should have been very clear turned out to be a bit gloomy at this time. Thick dark clouds float in the sky, giving people a depressing, gloomy feeling. Judging by the weather, it is likely that there will be heavy rain today.

Bai Ling looked at the sky, not knowing what he was thinking.

Today, Li He still went out to do work early. Bai Ling was left alone at home, extremely bored and unable to live all day long.

Before thinking about it, he fiddled with the flowers and plants in the courtyard, and the branches of the peach tree. This day passed quickly. Even sometimes, he just casually cleaned the front and back of the door, and the house, and the days passed quietly.

But in the past few days, I don't know why, I always feel like there is an empty space in my heart. Whatever he does, he seems a little distracted and absent-minded.

After thinking about it again and again, Bai Ling finally decided to cheer up and try not to make himself look so decadent.

After making up his mind, Bai Ling immediately started to prepare, preparing to brew delicious osmanthus wine, and sell it at a good price next year to subsidize the family.

It's a pity that he only found out when he was really ready to start making wine. All the sweet-scented osmanthus flowers that he and Li He picked from the mountains had been used up to make sweet-scented osmanthus candy and sweet-scented osmanthus wine.

Now, how can we make sweet-scented osmanthus wine without the main ingredient

Looking at the gloomy weather, Bai Ling still had a bit of dampness before the torrential rain, and hesitated for a while.

Seeing that the heavy rain was about to fall, if he went up the mountain again at this time, he might catch up with the heavy rain and get drenched by the rain. If it is not done well, it will catch a cold, get a cold or something. At that time, it will be very troublesome.

But if you don't go...

Looking at the unharvested rice fields in front of the door, Bai Ling hesitated for a while.

If you don't go, leaving him alone at home will be a bit boring. If he didn't do something to distract himself, Bai Ling might continue to be like this, with depression in his heart.

After pondering for a long time, Bai Ling finally chose to carry the big bamboo basket on his back, and prepared to go up the mountain.

Bai Ling thought silently, as long as he moved faster, he might be able to rush down the mountain before the heavy rain. After all, he really couldn't stand staying at home, doing nothing all day long, and could only look forward to the appearance of being alone.

That feeling was the same as when he was in the demon world, guarding in the room all day, just waiting for Fang Ye to come and pamper him. It's boring and frustrating, and it's extremely uncomfortable.

Although his current relationship with Li He is not the same as it was with Fang Ye before. But ever since they took a bath together that day, when Bai Ling knew that Li He liked him, his whole heart was in a mess.

After all, he never thought that he could be liked by others in this world.

You know, he had already been dug out of his inner alchemy and lost all his cultivation. Even the charming kung fu that he was born with as a white fox has completely disappeared.

Although this special skill, he has never used it on anyone.

But he never imagined that he, who lost his ability to charm, would be able to win the favor of others again.

It's just that Bai Ling, who hasn't seen too much of the world, met too many people, and is too sophisticated in the world, how does he know. Just relying on his peerless and beautiful face, that kind of demeanor with a hint of melancholy, I still feel pity for it. It can make countless people fall in love with him, and they can't help but want to protect him.

Otherwise, Fang Ye, who was once the Demon King, would not have valued and liked him so much, held him in his hands as a treasure.

Even for him, he did not hesitate to pay a huge price, and ordered someone to transplant the spiritual peach tree from the holy mountain in the south, just to make Bai Ling smile.

Thinking of this, Bai Ling still had a trace of warmth in his heart.

It's a pity that no matter how beautiful the past was, it was just the past. Everything can't go back to those days. Besides, if it wasn't for Fang Ye's lustful nature, he would be merciful everywhere. How could the harem catch fire and let Aoki die in vain.

After thinking about it, it was a bad relationship after all.

Bai Ling thought about it, but he had already reached the deep mountain. The strong scent of sweet-scented osmanthus wafts gently in this deep mountain valley, guiding Bai Ling in the direction. Bai Ling looked at the sweet-scented osmanthus not far in front of him, and couldn't help but feel happy. But after walking a few steps, my heart suddenly became inexplicably panicked.

Immediately afterwards, there was a startled thunder explosion in the sky, as if the explosion was right next to Bai Ling's ear, and Bai Ling was instantly bewildered by the explosion, and his whole brain went blank for a while. The power of thunder that made beasts terrified by nature made Bai Ling tremble uncontrollably.

Xu Shi lost his own cultivation base and monster inner alchemy. Or maybe it's because it's in the dense forest and deep mountains. This astonishing power of thunder is even more terrifying than the thunder that Bai Ling has seen before.

Vaguely, it seemed to return to the rainy night when Aoki was executed.

Terrible wind, black clouds. The heavy and suffocating iron chain, and Aoki's desperate and painful face before he died.

"Crack!"

There was another thunderclap, resounding through the entire mountain.

At this time, Bai Ling was already scared and at a loss. I can't care about making wine with sweet-scented osmanthus anymore. Now he just wants to find a safe and secluded place to hide honestly.

"Clatter clatter..."

After two astonishing thunderclaps, the sky began to rain heavily.

Huge raindrops slapped on the branches and leaves in the forest. Crisp and loud. In the entire mountain forest, the only sound of this majestic heavy rain could be heard for a while.

Bai Ling panicked and found a small cave. The whole person hid in the hole like this, huddled in a corner, shivering non-stop. Just waiting for the heavy rain to stop before making other plans.

...

The heavy dark clouds, like a pair of invisible hands, suppressed everyone's mood. Let this Fengshou Town, which is surrounded by mountains and fields and lives by farming, be painted with a gloomy color.

At the foot of the mountain, in the small courtyard with its back against the mountain and facing the rice fields, there was only a weak oil lamp, lonely and precarious in the storm.

But the two masters in this courtyard have long since disappeared.

Holding an oil-paper umbrella, Li He searched from the front to the back of the door. From the rice fields, I found the town. He asked almost everyone who knew Bai Ling. But still, there is no news of Bai Ling.

It rained so much, and it was windy again. Li He was holding a small oil-paper umbrella, which couldn't block the very bad weather at all. A thin coarse linen clothes, already drenched by the rain. The wind of the cold autumn night, through the skirt soaked in rain, penetrated the human skin bitingly.

For some reason, Li He felt very uneasy when it rained today.

In the dark, it seems that something big is about to happen.

At this time, Li He had already walked the entire Fengshou Town. But there was still no trace of Bai Ling. As for the places where he might go, Li He also went door-to-door to inquire, but he still couldn't see any trace of Bai Ling. Thinking that Bai Ling obviously stayed at home brewing wine these days and never went out. Why did he suddenly disappear today

Thinking up to this point, Li He unconsciously became a little worried... ..

Mmm... winemaking... .

correct!

Suddenly, a flash of inspiration flashed in Li He's mind, and he remembered.

All the sweet-scented osmanthus flowers that Bai Ling used to make wine on weekdays were picked from the mountains by him. Even the ones he used to make osmanthus candy were the same. Moreover, when Li He returned home today, he did not see any remaining sweet-scented osmanthus at home.

Thinking about it this way, Bai Ling probably went up the mountain, right

Thinking of this, Li He became a little scared again.

The rain was so heavy today that there was no thought of stopping at all. And now, it's already night. Wouldn't it be very dangerous if Bai Ling was alone on the mountain at this time

Not to mention any beasts in the deep mountains, Li He was very worried just being alone in the dark mountains and wild forests where he couldn't see his fingers.

You know, there used to be a family in Fengshou Town. The adults and their children were separated in the mountains and forests, and no one was found all night. When the adults found the child the next day, the child had already been frightened into an idiot, unable to speak all day long.

Afterwards, the adults of that family regretted this matter too much and were heartbroken, but there was no room for redemption.

Thinking of this, Li He's heart became more and more flustered.

If Bai Ling was left alone in the forest, what would happen if he was frightened. Li He is afraid that in this life, he will never forgive himself again.

The majestic rain drenched Li He's anxious heart. The mud on the ground, and the thorns in the bushes. Everything is blocking Li He's way, making him forbidden to go up the mountain.

But Li He, who was anxious in his heart, just wanted to see Bai Ling as soon as possible.

"Xiaobai! Can you hear me?"

"Xiaobai! Xiaobai!"

Li He tried his best to shout in the rain, trying to let Bai Ling hear his voice.

It's a pity that the rain today is really heavy. The entire mountain forest was filled with the sound of pouring rain. The entire mountain was like water curtains one after another, firmly blocking Li He's voice in it.

But no matter how heavy the rain was, Li He was not discouraged at all. Every time, I tried my best and shouted with my loudest voice.
