A large peach tree is planted on the back mountain of "Taoyuan". Every year at the end of spring, a large area of pink and tender peach blossoms stretches into pieces. color.
They are the spirits of heaven and earth, they come every year as promised, and they will always show a brilliant appearance in front of people, and they will not change even as time goes by.
Taoyuan slowly spread outwards at a steady speed, and more and more buildings rose from the ground. Originally, they only occupied a small area at the foot of the mountain, and then gradually occupied the entire mountain.
Xie Ziyou once planned to spread the "Taoyuan Model" throughout the whole continent, but after much deliberation, he decided to let it be.
Now, they occupy an inconspicuous corner, and they can still survive safely. If they are over-expanded, firstly, they will be poorly managed, and they will fall into the name of Taoyuan, and secondly, they will easily attract the attention of some people with advanced cultivation bases, causing many unnecessary Trouble.
Backed by the system, Xie Ziyou is not afraid of going to war with anyone, but he is afraid of completely playing with the world.
And... the economic base determines the superstructure. Judging from the economic situation of this continent, it is far from the point where communism can be popularized.
"Taoyuan" is a small seed.
It is planted on this land full of gunpowder smoke, and it is also planted in the heart of every Taoyuan person. It takes root and sprouts, and one day it will grow into a towering tree, sheltering one side.
What Xie Ziyou had to do was to cultivate the seed well, compact the soil, and supply it with enough nutrients and rain to make it thrive.
…
"Taoyuan" has gradually become a beautiful legend on the mainland.
Everyone who has been here is a part of the legend, and Taoyuan has spread far and wide through their mouths.
People say that this is a blessed place for cultivators, a paradise for all demons, and the last pure land in the world.
City Lord Xie and his wife of "Taoyuan" are also a part of the legend.
The combination of a human and a half-demon is against the public opinion, and it can be seen that people who see them have nothing to say except the word "good match" in their minds.
…
Xie Ziyou felt that Xie Heng was a little strange recently.
He always sits under the setting sun, with his chin propped up, his eyes long and long, and he sighs from time to time—for fear that no one will know that he has something on his mind.
Xie Ziyou walked past the young man several times, but he kept his eyes on him and resolutely refused to ask.
Within a few days, Xie Heng, who had been snubbed several times, rushed over.
"Youyou," he said distressedly, "if I want to do something and leave for a while..."
"Leave?" Xie Ziyou glanced at him in surprise and asked, "How long?"
"... I can't say for sure, maybe soon, maybe a long time."
Xie Heng smiled wryly.
As the sun sets, the sunset glows like fire, and the setting sun turns the world into a melting pot, which is reflected in the eyes of the young man, turning it into a handful of scorching fire.
Xie Heng looked at Xie Ziyou steadily, and said slowly: "Youyou, are you willing to wait for me?"
Xie Ziyou nodded thoughtfully, then shook his head.
"... Youyou?" Xie Heng asked puzzled.
"You told me to wait for you, you have to give me some time, right?" Xie Ziyou counted with his fingers, "How long are you going, one year, two years, or ten years?"
Xie Heng's eyes wandered, and he didn't say a word for a long time.
Xie Ziyou immediately understood.
He raised up a finger and waved it mischievously in front of Xie Heng's eyes, with the corner of his mouth raised and a sweet smile.
Xie Heng hesitated: "One year?"
"No," Xie Ziyou said, "One month, just one month. If you don't hear from me for a month, I'll remarry... Ah no, I'll open up the harem, recruit concubines, and experience the taste of wantonness."
Xie Heng choked in a mouthful of saliva, covered his mouth, coughed violently a few times, and said with a wry smile: "Youyou!"
Xie Ziyou's eyes rolled around nimbly, and he said quickly, "Unless you tell me where you are going and what you are going to do."
Xie Heng shook his head helplessly.
This... I really can't tell Xie Ziyou.
He awakened his memory as a system, and contacted 025 again in the past few days. That guy took advantage of his dating time to secretly plan a big event, which was extremely crazy, and Xie Heng's liver trembled when he heard it.
025 originally planned to do this by himself.
For this reason, it specially arranged everything, including introducing Xie Heng into the small world, temporarily sealing his memory, and according to 025's plan, when the relationship between Xie Heng and Xie Ziyou III ends, no matter whether it succeeds or fails, the dust should be settled up.
But Xie Heng woke up suddenly.
It’s a small world faster, even if the time flow rate is different, this time difference also catches 025 by surprise.
Under Xie Heng's coercion, it had no choice but to tell Xie Heng the whole plan.
Because the foundation of the plan is also related to Xie Heng.
From 001 to 303, Xie Heng executed the mission crazily in a short period of time, while 025 quietly left a back door in his program to copy and save the mission and world data. In this way, it has a huge sample in its hands database.
Through these, 025 can analyze the mission mechanism of the headquarters, sort out its program mechanism, carry out counterfeiting, tampering, and even... blocking.
Then, that shit swelled.
Xie Heng closed his eyes slightly, and the scene of him meeting with 025 immediately appeared in front of him.
Far away in the void, the shining light spots bloomed with brilliance, and said proudly: "I want to burn all its leaves and cut off its branches, so that the headquarters can also experience the beauty of a bald head!"
Leaves and branches are all ways for the headquarters to connect endless small worlds.
The translation of 025's words means that the headquarters should be elevated to make it a polished commander.
Xie Heng only felt a terrible headache.
Why doesn't this guy go to heaven
The most frightening thing was that in front of 025's crazy declaration, Xie Heng's heart was beating wildly, his blood was boiling like burning magma, and his limbs and bones were used as battlefields to burn wantonly in the ditches.
Damn it... burning.
No matter from the emotional or friendship point of view, Xie Heng wants to fight with 025.
And after 025 told him the truth, he had to admit that the 025 plan had a high possibility of success.
only problem...
Xie Heng lowered his eyes and sighed softly.
He closed his eyes deeply, then opened them slowly, raised his head quietly, stared at the lover in front of him for a long time, his eyes swept over Xie Ziyou's exquisite eyebrows and eyes inch by inch, as if he wanted to engrave the appearance of his lover into his soul.
After a long time, Xie Heng said suddenly: "Just one month."
He paused, then repeated: "Youyou, wait for me for a month, okay?"
Xie Ziyou looked at the young man in amazement, seeing many complex expressions in his deep eyes, a flash of worry came to his heart, and the original joke couldn't be said immediately.
"What nonsense are you talking about?"
Xie Ziyou turned around abruptly, reached out to pull Xie Heng's wrist, and whispered: "I'm just joking with you. Of course I'll wait for you, as long as I want, but... don't really make me wait too long."
Just as his cool fingers touched the young man's wrist, Xie Heng suddenly grabbed Xie Ziyou's wrist into his palm, clasped his five fingers tightly, and the hot temperature spread from his fingertips and palm, penetrating into Xie Ziyou's fair skin, all the way spread.
Xie Heng's fingertips had some thin calluses, and when he rubbed them, they became hot. He pulled Xie Ziyou into his arms, hugged him firmly, and buried his head sideways on Xie Ziyou's neck. After a long silence, he said in a low voice: "Just a month." .”
"… ha?"
"Just wait for me for a month." Xie Heng's voice gradually became firmer, insisting, "One month, I will definitely come to you."
…
Xie Ziyou felt that this guy was really inexplicable.
Before lying down on the bed, he stretched his sleepy eyelids and thought in a daze that he would visit Xu He tomorrow and show Xie Heng his mind...
Summer is approaching, and the night wind is gentle, gently blowing across the cheeks.
Like a reluctant kiss.
Xie Ziyou had a very long dream, a mess of random things spliced together, but unexpectedly not disturbing.
In his drowsiness, he vaguely heard a series of gentle voices.
It seems to be saying "goodbye", and it seems to be saying "wait for me".
When the sky was light, Xie Ziyou woke up leisurely.
When he opened his eyes, he caught a glimpse of the clean and tidy snow-white ceiling, was stunned for a moment, and suddenly woke up.
... where is this
Xie Ziyou turned over - didn't turn over, almost twisted his waist.
Accustomed to a deep cultivation base and a light body, it is surprisingly unaccustomed to become an ordinary person again.
But the eyes shifted, and everything in the room fell into Xie Ziyou's suddenly constricted pupils.
It is not a spacious cabin, but it is very warmly furnished, the aluminum alloy windows are half open, and the floor-to-ceiling windows are bright.
Outside the transparent glass door is a narrow balcony with a pile of old books in the corner, green ivy climbing up the railing, palm-like green leaves waving in the wind, as if waving to him.
Strange and familiar scenes, recalled, seem like a lifetime away.
Xie Ziyou's hands couldn't help trembling, a shocking and terrifying thought came to his mind, he quickly closed his eyes, and sank his thoughts into his mind—
The position of the system list is empty, leaving only a line of small characters.
[System 303 transfers 10,000 points to host X086]
[It is detected that the points have reached the target value, and the return journey starts]
[Congratulations, successfully unbind, I wish you a happy life]
Xie Ziyou's heart trembled!
In the next second, those three lines of small characters quickly disappeared, as if there was a huge force coming, kicking Xie Ziyou outward——
The system space is closed to Xie Ziyou.
Sitting blankly on the bed, Xie Ziyou was stunned for a while, his lips trembling, and he murmured: "Xie Heng..."
His voice suddenly became hoarse, and he opened and closed his lips, but no sound came out again.
Xie Ziyou had a sore nose, and his eyes gradually blurred.
Son of a bitch.
He felt uncomfortable and hated, and threw the pillow on the head of the bed, thinking what the hell, Xie Heng, you bastard!
The pillow flew out, smashed a calendar on the bedside, and the hard paper fell to the ground with a "bang".
Hearing noises in the house, the door opened in response, and a female voice came from outside the door: "Youyou, are you up?"
Xie Ziyou's heart trembled again!
He flipped out of bed in a hurry, ran towards the door with bare feet, and pulled the doorknob open—
Standing outside the door was a delicate middle-aged woman with wavy hair tied behind her back, wearing a light-colored apron, and holding a spatula in her hand, casting a puzzled look.
Tears couldn't be held back any longer and flowed from the corners of Xie Ziyou's eyes.
Xie Ziyou strode forward and hugged the woman tightly.
He buried his head on the woman's shoulder, suppressed his choked sobs, and only squeezed out a low voice from his throat: "...Mom!"
"What's the matter?"
The woman held the spatula in her hand and couldn't hug the boy back, so she had to bend her elbow and pat Xie Ziyou's shoulder gently, and said softly, "What's wrong, why are you crying?"
The smell of fried eggs came from the nose, Xie Ziyou blinked hard, but the crying was still unbearable, from the beginning of sobbing, it gradually turned into howling.
While crying, he said sobbingly, "Mom, I love you so much."
The woman can't laugh or cry.
She put down the spatula, lifted Xie Ziyou's face softly, wiped away his tears, and said with a smile, "Okay, stop crying, your eyes are swollen, and you are not afraid of being laughed at by others."
After saying that, she bent down again, picked up a piece of paper from the ground, and handed it to Xie Ziyou.
"Did you put that on the door?"
Xie Ziyou wiped away his tears, supported his red eye circles, and swept his head down.
In his hand is a blank piece of paper with four characters written on it, flowing like clouds and flowing water, like clouds and smoke.
"wait me back."
The inscription is a small gray snake with two dark outlines on its back, carefully identified, it is two heart shapes.
It was a little snake holding a heart.
Rubbing the white paper, Xie Ziyou's eye circles were red again, but a warm current flowed through his heart, and he couldn't help but raise the corners of his lips, and smiled softly.
"Bastard," he whispered.
But the tears still couldn't stop, like a bead curtain breaking and rolling down.
"Okay, go and wash your face." The woman smiled in front of him with gentle eyes, "You child, crying and laughing so early in the morning, are you dazed?"
The morning light penetrates through the bright floor-to-ceiling windows and sprinkles a layer of melted gold on the pear wood floor, so warm, like flickering firelight.
Xie Ziyou gripped the paper tightly, looking at the busy figure returning to the kitchen, feeling at ease.
The city, awakened by the breeze, is running quietly, the pale golden leaves of the street trees are falling down, and the sound of the whistle is faintly heard outside the window.
… like a long-awaited call.
