Just like the sudden arrival of severe winter, overnight, the spring breeze came from the south, and the earth was filled with the sound of ice and snow being released.
People finally got rid of the bitter cold, and they came out of their long-dormant houses to celebrate the belated spring.
All things recover, the grass grows and the warbler flies. Spring flowers are vying to be released, especially peach blossoms, which are pink, white and bright red, blooming like a sea.
The King of Guangling County recovered from his illness, but he refused to stay in the mansion. He bid farewell to his parents, slung his bag alone, and boarded the big ship heading south. Following him, only a golden retriever puppy.
"Where is the prince going?"
"I don't know. I heard that he kept talking about rabbits. Is he going to the south to find rabbits?"
…
On the Ziwu Mountain in the south, there are towering ancient trees and clear streams. The rays of the setting sun pierced through the treetops and fell on the mist in the forest, dyeing a faint pinkish purple.
However, it's not quiet here.
Thousands of rabbits gathered in the valley, the ones that could transform into humanoids were holding wooden sticks, and the ones that were animal-shaped were baring their teeth, all with red eyes staring at the uninvited guests in front of them.
"Achan's not here!" The Rabbit Clan elder with a wrinkled face stood on a stone and shouted angrily to the boy and the dog several meters away.
"Why isn't he here?" Dun Yi said anxiously, "I brought A Chan here and handed it over to the elders!"
"Not here!" the rabbits shouted, "Go back!"
"A-chan is such a good rabbit, it's hard to become an immortal, and the thousand-year-old Taoism has been ruined like this!"
"That's right! Heaven is all bad gods..."
Dun Yi finally got angry and turned into a golden-haired beast with a "roar", baring his teeth and staring at the rabbits, majestic.
The rabbits took a few steps back in fright, but did not run away.
"Dun Yi!" a clear voice shouted, Ling Xiao gave Dun Yi a reproachful look and told him to step back.
"The retainers are in a hurry, and I ask the elders to forgive me." He stepped forward, bowed properly, and said, "Is Chan really not here?"
"Yo, the great gift of honoring the gods, the little demon dare not accept it!" The elder said leisurely, but decisively, "Not here!"
Ling Xiao pondered for a moment, then nodded: "So." After that, he took out something and held it in front of his hands, "Achan said that he wants to eat radishes in the garden, and I finally planted them recently. If the elder sees Achan, it will be annoying. Hand over this thing."
The elders and the rabbits were stunned.
I saw that the radish was white and fat, and the skin was smooth and flawless, like a piece of fine white jade.
"Oh, that's fine." The elder concealed his greed, and was about to take it, when he said it too late, a white shadow suddenly flew over and snatched the radish away.
The rabbits were shocked.
Ling Xiao looked at it, but a smile appeared on his face. It was the white rabbit he had been thinking about, lying on the ground holding the radish, nibbling contentedly.
The elder looked frustrated.
Ling Xiao stepped forward and picked up the white rabbit and radish together.
"Is it delicious?" he asked softly.
The white rabbit moved its ears, but did not answer.
"Shen Jun, she has now returned to her first year of life, and she doesn't understand anything." Dun Yi said regretfully beside her.
Ling Xiao was silent, and silently patted the rabbit's head.
"Wait!" The elder of the rabbit clan knew that he couldn't stop it, but he was not reconciled, and said angrily, "Achan is no longer a god, what heaven are you going to!"
"Because she told me that she wants to eat the radishes from the hanging garden." Ling Xiao smiled, and the sunset light ignited a gentle color in his dark eyes, "I have planted a lot." After that, he turned and left, the breeze was blowing. He wore wide sleeves and pointed ears in his arms left a long shadow on the ground.
