The next day, when Tao Tao woke up, she felt very refreshed.

The lower body has been wiped, but the sheets and bedding have not been changed, and Tao Tao can still smell the indulgence from last night.Unable to help her cheeks to be hot, she pulled the quilt to cover her face, turned over on the bed, and carefully savored the lingering last night by herself.

"Are you awake?" Ji Huai held a bamboo stick and walked in through the door.He smiled and sat down close to the bed, touched Tao Tao's quilt, "Aunt Zhang came this morning, and I asked her to boil hot water. You slept so deeply that I didn't make any noise when I scrubbed you."

Tao Tao blushed when she saw Ji Huai's face, she didn't have time to say anything.

"Aren't you awake yet?" Ji Huai sat upright, actually this morning he was also a little nervous and unable to recover.

Seeing this, Tao Tao pursed her lips and said, "Aunt Zhang has been here?" As soon as she opened her mouth, she found that her voice was hoarse.

"I didn't let her in. I just lied to her that you had some typhoid fever, so I was afraid of giving it to her." Ji Huai knew what he was worried about, lifted a corner of the quilt, put his fingertips in, and touched Tao Tao's soft belly.Tao Tao frowned, held down Ji Huai's restless hand, and took a bite from her mouth.Ji Huai was not annoyed, instead he rubbed Tao Tao's lips, "Does it hurt?"

"It doesn't hurt very much." Tao Tao got up halfway, hugged Ji Huai's waist, and leaned forward, "Brother Huai."

"Well, what's the matter?" Ji Huai hugged him, brushing his fingertips over his smooth back, stroking him casually.

"I want to eat honey cake." Tao Tao has always been shy, and would never act coquettishly with Ji Huai.I don't know if it was the clouds and rain in Wushan last night that made him see through, or their relationship has come naturally.

Ji Huai didn't want to think too much, he kissed Tao Tao's cheek: "Okay, let's go shopping together."

After being driven to live in the mountains for so long, Ji Huai never went down the mountain once.

Now, holding the bamboo stick, he took two steps forward uncomfortably.The bazaar is full of voices and crowds, and the people coming and going are mixed with the noise, which is lively but also disturbing.Ji Huai was hit on the left shoulder by someone, turned around in panic in the dark, and was held by Tao Tao's hand.

"Brother Huai, don't be afraid."

Ji Huai shook his head: "The first time I came back, I feel unfamiliar."

Tao Tao has already bought the honey cake, and intertwined her fingers with Ji Huai, ignoring the gazes of passers-by.At first, the people around looked at them a few times, but it was not surprising to see Ji Huai hitting the ground with a bamboo stick later on.A blind man needs help when he walks.

The sweetness of the honey cake wrapped in oil paper attracted Tao Tao to find a tea booth and sit down to eat it, sometimes even feeding Shang Jihuai.

The storyteller in the tea pavilion narrated a story in a smooth and smooth manner, and the guests in the tea pavilion listened attentively.Tao Tao pricked up her ears and listened. Coincidentally, it was written by Ji Huai.

"It's the one you wrote a few days ago." Tao Tao sat up straight and listened carefully, she looked very much like a student who went to school the first day, "This story is novel and I like it the most. "

Ji Huai took a sip of tea, smiled gently and said nothing, but would occasionally pull Tao Tao's hand to let him feed him a mouthful of honey cake.

The sweet juice melts into the soft and glutinous rice cake, and it melts when you rub it with your tongue and palate.Tao Tao likes the honey cake of this store very much, and buys it again and again, and Ji Huai who eats it also loves the taste of this bee flower.

But no matter how sweet it is, it can't compare to Tao Tao from last night.

Ji Huai didn't know the taste of food, and when the story was over, he moved closer to Tao Tao and smelled the fragrance of peach blossoms: "If this honey cake is served with peach blossoms, I'm afraid it will taste better." It's a pity that the boss didn't understand, and wasted all this time. craft.

With a frown, Tao Tao opened her hands and quietly transformed into a peach blossom for Ji Huai.The fragrance of the flower was touching, as if it brought back the fragrance of spring. Tao Tao put this peach blossom in Ji Huai's hands, and Ji Huai was surprised: "It smells like peach blossoms? Where did the peach blossoms come from this month?"

"Sometimes in my heart, I have it."

"Then I should be able to find this peach blossom every day." His love words were euphemistic, but they were extremely explicit in Tao Tao's ears.

Tao Tao's face was reddish, she turned her head deliberately and praised: "This storyteller has a good eloquence, and his voice is vivid."

Ji Huai squeezed the peach blossoms and said softly, "If you like it, we will often come down to listen to it in the future."

"Okay!"

"You sound so happy."

"nature!"

"Then how about we listen for a lifetime?"

Tao Tao froze for a moment, looked at Ji Huai's face for a while, and then looked at the storytelling place in the tea pavilion with her eyes.What he saw was the storyteller who was sorting out the manuscript, he was stroking his white beard, and his back was bent.Like the fleeting years of life, like the wind, very quickly.

But Tao Tao still responded with a smile: "Okay."

So I have been listening to this for nearly ten years.

Here, the days in the sky passed almost ten days without knowing it, Ling Lan was worried about Tao Tao every day, and from time to time she slipped to the side door of the Siyao Hall to have a look.It's only five days or so, if Tao Tao doesn't come back, she might be punished severely.

A young fairy like him probably registered on the immortal register by himself. If not, when Tao Tao's name appeared in the immortal register, it would show the day when he became a fairy.At that time, Xiaoxian at the registration office will definitely ask where Tao Tao has been these days and why she came to register so late.

The more Linglan thought about it, the more worried she became, walking back and forth, she saw Lingze who had just returned.

She was busy saluting, but Lingze ignored her, and went straight into his medicine hall.In fact, Linglan didn't understand what Lingze Shangxian was planning.He obviously didn't criticize her when he saw her release Tao Tao privately, and transferred her to work in the pharmacy.To put it bluntly, it was like spying on her.

Given that he was an immortal, Ling Lan didn't dare to ask at all, and could only worry about herself.

But thinking about it carefully, she and Tao Tao are just two little immortals at the bottom of the heaven, and Lingze Shangxian can't afford to go around in circles to deal with them.

She didn't want to think about it anymore, it really hurt her head to think about it.

While he was in distress, he passed by two little immortals from the Yaochi, whispering about the movement of the stars in the South China Sea. They always had a lot of gossip that the little immortals in other palaces couldn't hear.

Today we were talking about the Heavenly Emperor intentionally summoning Immortal Lord Yunyuan to come back in advance, Ling Lan pricked up her ears, pretending to casually followed a few steps.

"I heard that the broken monster has come out again."

"What is this? Is it powerful?"

"It's not powerful, it's just evil. I just read its record in the book, saying that it devours the sun and the moon. Thousands of years ago, only Immortal Yun Yuan sealed it."

"If Xianjun hadn't lost his cloud-folding fan, he might have been able to ascend to the throne of immortality with his merits?"

"It's hard to say, watch your mouth."

……

Lily of the valley has only been in the heaven for a few hundred years, so she naturally doesn't know what happened a thousand years ago, and she doesn't know what a broken monster is.

She was just worried that even if Immortal Yunyuan didn't come back early, his suffering would expire in a few hours.If he happened to ask about the little peach blossom in the courtyard when he came back, how should she reply?

Hey, I shouldn't have softened my heart and let Xiao Taohua go down to earth.

I don't know what happened to him and that mortal benefactor?Did his benefactor let him continue chopping wood?

Thinking about it, Ji Huai sneezed.

"Tao Tao, are you thinking about me in your heart?"

Ji Huai, who is already 35 years old, looks very energetic and has a good complexion.Thanks to Tao Tao taking good care of him, the years only added some calmness to Ji Huai's face, the rest remained the same.Today, Ji Huai was wearing a blue gown, holding two loquats in his hands, waiting for Tao Tao to peel them for him to eat.

And the white-clothed man in the courtyard who was processing medicinal materials turned around and said, "Shameless."

After ten years in the world, Tao Tao has lost her childishness, her brows have become more handsome and clear, and her eyes are shining like a March sky in the world.He was dressed in a white shirt, his black hair was tied into a ponytail, and he raised his hand to wipe the sweat from his forehead.The medicinal materials are for Aunt Zhang. She is getting old and her legs and feet are inconvenient. Tao Tao will often get some herbs and send them to her to soak her feet.

Ji Huai sighed, "Can shameless people still eat loquats today?"

"Peel it yourself." Tao Tao, who was still angry, ignored him.

"If you don't feed me, I won't eat."

"..."

"Still angry about what happened last night?" Ji Huai laughed heartily, put the loquat on the table, picked up the bamboo stick and went to look for Tao Tao.

Although she was still angry at what Ji Huai did to him several times last night, Tao Tao doted on Ji Huai the most.Seeing him coming, Tao Tao turned around and leaned over to support him by the waist.

Ji Huai touched his ear bone and kissed him: "Don't be angry."

"Brother Huai, you can't just act coquettishly and just pass by every time." Tao Tao taught him, hoping that he would change.

"You've been saying this for almost ten years, and my ears are calloused."

Tao Tao's hand froze, Ji Huai's words reminded him that the ten-year deadline was coming in the blink of an eye.

"What's wrong?" Ji Huai felt guilty every time he couldn't hear Tao Tao's voice, so he hugged Tao Tao sideways, with his cheek against his earlobe, thinking he was still angry, so he flattered him, "I changed it, I It must be changed next time."

Tao Tao thought to herself: I have heard these words no less than a hundred times...

He stroked Ji Huai's hair: "I believe you for the last time." He also answered these words no less than a hundred times.

Ji Huai kissed him on the mouth with a 'chirp', and the kissed Tao Tao unknowingly pursed his lips again.

Tao Tao was about to peel the loquat for Ji Huai, when she heard the sound of horseshoes coming from far outside the door.He let Ji Huai sit down, and went to open the door by himself.

The scenery outside the door was the same as usual, except that there were a few more people in official uniforms, carrying a scroll of imperial edicts.Tao Tao felt a 'thump' in her heart, and was instantly icy cold.Ji Huai was talking inside and asked Tao Tao who was here.Tao Tao looked solemnly at the man on horseback, and when he heard Ji Huai's voice, he raised the corners of his mouth and smiled contemptuously.

"Fourth prince, Your Majesty calls you back to the palace!"

In the past ten years, there have been many changes in the imperial city. The emperor was critically ill in his later years, and several princes were fighting openly and secretly.Everyone can't breathe, like a drowning person, unable to grasp the floating logs.

When the emperor's condition worsened, he learned that Ji Huai was still alive, so he wanted to make up for Ji Huai.When Xu Shi returned to the light, he saw the many injustices he had treated Ji Huai in this life, and his conscience found out that he pardoned Ji Huai's crimes.When a person grows old, his rock-hard heart may gradually shatter and make wrong decisions again and again.

In Ji Huai's view, the emperor is exactly like this.A little pity and alms at the time of dying is not much higher than a sigh of relief.Ji Huai was unwilling to accept such an amnesty, but he couldn't refuse it.

In order to please the emperor, my brother coaxed the emperor to draw up an imperial decree, justifiably vindicating Ji Huai's rebellion. He wanted to take him back to the imperial city to take care of him who was blind, so that he could die for the emperor together.

The emperor's order is like the sky, if he doesn't go, he will disobey his orders, if he goes, he will live in a wolf's den, and sooner or later he will die at the hands of others as a blind man.

All homeless.

Tao Tao naturally knew that Ji Huai might end up staying in the imperial city this time.

It was raining outside at night, and Tao Tao didn't turn on the lights in the house. He was lying on the outside of the bed with his back to Ji Huai.And Ji Huai didn't make a sound, his eyes never closed, and his empty gaze cast nowhere in the dark silence.Once the stability of the past ten years goes to the imperial city, it will no longer exist.

Ji Huai turned around and placed his hand on Tao Tao's elbow: "Are you asleep?"

"No."

"I can't sleep either."

"Brother Huai, don't go back."

Ji Huai was silent, took a breath slowly, and couldn't help himself.

Tao Tao turned around and said recklessly, "Shall we run away?"

Flee to a place that no one knows, avoid the people in the imperial city, and then spend the last few months together.Maybe Ji Huai died of a serious illness at that time, maybe he died suddenly, but these are better than him returning to the imperial city and dying at the hands of his closest relatives again.

With the rainy night in his arms, the corners of Ji Huai's lips were bitter.

"Tao Tao, I'm blind, so many inconveniences will only make me hurt you."

"With me here, they can't find you!" Tao Tao turned around and hugged him tightly, her fingers curled so tightly that her knuckles turned white, she clenched her fists and gritted her teeth, "But if you go to the imperial city, it will be a disaster or a blessing. "

Ji Huai could hear Tao Tao's resistance, and patted his head on his chest: "Tao Tao, I am his son, this is my life." In the end, it is inevitable to return to the vortex of the imperial city and sink.

"You will die if you go, do you want to go too?"

"Ah."

"They want to kill you!" Tao Tao was sure, "When the emperor dies, they will definitely kill you!"

Ji Huai chuckled, "If you don't go, you will die."

Tao Tao's hand loosened in vain, she would die if she went, or she would die if she didn't.It's all because the time limit for Xianjun's suffering has come, and no one can stop it.His tears fell on Ji Huai's chest, they were so hot that he could feel them through his clothes.Ji Huai's heart beat violently uncontrollably, swallowed the words choked in his throat, and then vomited them out again.

He thought about it all day.

"Tao Tao, but don't follow me back."

"..."

"You stay here. If I live, I will definitely come back to find you." The imperial city was dangerous, and he didn't want Tao Tao to fall into it.

"Brother Huai?"

"Be obedient." Ji Huai's tone could not be refuted, but it was full of sadness and reluctance.

Tao Tao looked at Ji Huai in disbelief, and when he said this, a drop of clear tears flowed from the corner of his eyes, free from the turbidity of the world.

This is his big brother Huai.

His brother Huai cried.
