My Heart Peach Blossom Spring

Ji Huai was stunned, he really didn't expect to get this answer.

He sat up in vain, without caring about anything, he stretched out his hand and grabbed Tao Tao's arm by chance.Tao Tao lowered her head, not daring to move, as timid as a deer.And Ji Huai's hand slid down his arm through those layers of clothes, and held his hand.

Ji Huai's hands are thin, with distinct joints, and the palms are rough calluses from holding swords all the year round.Gently rubbing against the back of Tao Tao's hand, then squeezed it hard.His hand carried the warmth of a mortal, spreading from the palm, wrapping Tao Tao's slightly cold hand.

This made Tao Tao's face very red and her heart flustered, only the sound of her heartbeat that was eager for spring could be heard in her ears.

Although he was afraid, he was also very happy.Only in the mortal world can Ji Huai hold hands like this. He hides and hides, but cherishes every time.

"From now on, don't call me the fourth prince." Ji Huai said.

Tao Tao swallowed her saliva, raised her eyes to look at Ji Huai, her face was full of confusion: "Then what are you calling?"

You can't call Xianjun without thinking, right?

"Just call me Ji Huai."

"No!" Tao Tao immediately withdrew her hand, sat on the ground without caring about the dirt, and moved a large area back so that Ji Huai couldn't reach him, "I can't call the Fourth Prince by his name directly."

Whether it's Yun Yuan or Ji Huai, these two names belong to the Xianjun, and Tao Tao can't even cross the line.He bent up and got up, and lay back on his wooden bed without caring about patting the ashes off his body.

"Tao Tao!"

"……I slept."

Angrily, Ji Huai supported the bed and fell to the ground, touched the bamboo stick next to the bed: "From the day I was demoted here, I will no longer be the Fourth Prince of the Imperial City! Aunt Zhang and the others don't even know The government didn't even mention my identity. Can't you see the reason for it?"

He said to Tao Tao almost urgently: "Tao Tao, no one has regarded me as the fourth prince for a long time!"

The bamboo stick hit the ground and made a 'da da' sound. Ji Huai bumped into the corner of the wooden bed, and it hurt unavoidably.Tao Tao hurriedly got up to support him, and let him sit on her bed, embarrassed and speechless.Ji Huai spread his hands again, "Give me your hand."

Tao Tao is unwilling.

"I can't see it, give me your hand." Ji Huai, who has always been strong, actually showed a bit of weakness.

After a long stalemate, a hand was hesitantly placed in Ji Huai's palm.

Ji Huai clenched his hands tightly, "I am the same as you, regardless of status, and you saved my life."

No one treated him so well, it was the first time Ji Huai met someone who gave up his life to treat him well.

When you meet him, you will be reluctant to let him go.

"Tao Tao, I'm 25 this year, so I should be older than you."

Tao Tao said silently in her heart: I am three hundred years old this year...

"If you are afraid that you will be young, call me by my name, Li Sheng. Just call me Big Brother Huai, okay?" Ji Huai didn't like his surname, except for the word Huai, which he randomly flipped through the scrolls back then.The emperor didn't give him a name at all, the palace people kept calling him the fourth prince, and the brothers and sisters lazily called him the fourth son.

A dignified prince without a name is really ridiculous.

So when he was five years old, he found the word Huai on a scroll in Zangshu Pavilion.

The water of the Huaihe River is quiet and rushes away.Just like his thoughts, he wanted to leave this cold and impersonal palace.

Tao Tao, who was grabbed by the wrist, couldn't run away, so Ji Huai insisted on saying "Brother Huai".He was ashamed and annoyed, but he couldn't lose his temper with Ji Huai yet, blushing blushingly.

The fourth prince didn't know what was wrong, it was as cold as a block of ice before, but now it was as hot as a block of carbon.It's okay to grab his hand every day, but why do you force yourself to call 'Brother Huai' instead.This title is as shameful as a girl in the village calling love brother, Tao Tao choked in her throat for a long time and couldn't express it.

Ji Huai couldn't see Tao Tao's expression, so he thought he liked it too, so he said happily, "Call me and listen."

"Why don't I call you Brother Ji..." Tao Tao chose the next best thing.

Ji Huai lowered his face: "Every prince's surname is Ji, how many Brother Ji do you want to call?"

"...Aren't there many people with the surname Huai in the world?" Tao Tao couldn't help but reply.

"I don't care."

Ji Huai just wanted to play tricks.

"Anyway, you are not allowed to call me Fourth Prince in the future, and you are not allowed to call me Brother Ji. Either Ji Huai or Brother Huai."

In the middle of the night, Ji Huai got into a fight with Tao Tao because of a title.Why didn't Tao Tao realize that Ji Huai was so naive, so domineering and unreasonable before.In short, you can't satisfy him with what he decides.

Tao Tao really had nothing to do, so she suppressed her voice and reluctantly called out, "Brother Huai."

This shout made Ji Huai happy, his mind hadn't been so happy for a long time.Just these three words, shouted into his heart, shouted his heart itching, for a moment he couldn't bear to let go of Tao Tao's hand, and felt that holding Tao Tao's hand made his heart throb, and his ears felt shy.

If Tao Tao hadn't pulled his hand, maybe he would have to hold it overnight.Ji Huai touched the quilt on the wooden bed with all his heart, and even worried whether Tao Tao would be cold when he fell asleep at night, and whether the quilt bought by Aunt Zhang was too thin.After tossing back and forth for half a night, Tao Tao helped her back to her bed.

Ji Huai's way of treating people is young and full of stubbornness, which doesn't go well with his cold appearance.He is like a young boy who is just in love and eager to express himself, afraid of doing too much and afraid of doing too little.

He never cared about anyone, but as long as this person appeared and Ji Huai recognized him, he would be very aggressive.

Before dawn the next day, Tao Tao woke up.

Ji Huai slept too late yesterday, and slept very deeply this morning.Tao Tao moved very lightly, for fear of waking him up.When he closed the door, he saw Ruofeng squatting and crying at the gate of the yard.

The red string on Ruofeng's head is eye-catching, and he was wearing a dirty gray short shirt today, sobbing, he wiped his eyes indiscriminately, then turned to Tao Tao and said, "Little God, help me."

There was a bloody smell in the air, and Tao Tao realized that Ruofeng's hands were full of tiny wounds, which were densely packed together, and looked closely like burns.

"My friend was captured by the Taoist monks at the foot of the mountain, and there was a demon-subduing talisman attached to the cage." Ruofeng sobbed a few times, "My demon power is too weak to tear off the demon-subduing talisman. I'm also afraid that someone will find me, so I dare not keep more .”

Little demons are not allowed to appear in front of ordinary people in the regulations of the demon world. This regulation is said to restrain them and maintain the peace of the three realms.Rather, they want to protect these little elves who are still inexperienced in sorcery, lest they be caught by mortals.It's okay if you don't meet the demon catcher, but if you do, you might be out of your wits.

Tao Tao didn't delay, and immediately followed Ruofeng to the village at the foot of the mountain.

At this time, most people in the village got up, including the Taoist priest who caught the monster.Ruofeng's friend is a white fox, who is not very old, and is huddled in a cage at the moment.It was injured, and its eyes were closed tightly, and it was beaten back to its original shape.There are a few bright demon-subduing talismans pasted outside the cage, with simple spells drawn in red ink on them.

The cage was carried by the demon catching Taoist priest and placed on the open space, surrounded by many watching villagers.Ruofeng didn't dare to enter the village, Tao Tao came in alone, he leaned forward to see if there was any way to save the little fox.

Unfortunately, I ran into Aunt Zhang.

"Tao Tao, have you had breakfast yet? Come and have a bowl of wontons." Aunt Zhang's husband is a wonton stall operator, and today he went to the market, and Aunt Zhang helped take care of the wonton stall.Seeing Tao Tao agreed to her, she waved her hand while looking at the demon catching Taoist, "Hey, that liar Taoist has been in our village for two days."

"rely?"

Aunt Zhang ordered a bowl of wontons, and chattered: "It must be said that there are demons in our village, and we need to collect money to get rid of them. The village chief ignored him. He caught a fox last night and said sternly that he caught it from our village." Demon, you want to sell it to us. You are so naughty, I really think our money is easy to cheat..." She took a colander and stirred the pot lightly, and the small number of small wontons cooked quickly in the steaming boiling water Thoroughly.

The soup of the small wontons is clear, and sprinkled with a handful of chopped green onions, the appearance should not be too attractive.

Aunt Zhang gave it to Tao Tao, and sat down beside him: "We didn't believe him, so today he said he wanted to prove it to us. He said that this fox is a demon, and he wanted to send it out of its wits." Aunt Zhang just took it as a joke. Look, he didn't take the words of this monster hunter seriously.

"The soul is gone?!" Tao Tao was surprised, this Taoist priest of catching monsters was too cruel.

"Poor little fox cub." Aunt Zhang grabbed a handful of melon seeds and said regretfully, "If it was a puppy, I could spend a few copper coins to buy it for my grandson to play with. It's a pity that foxes are wild animals and I'm not familiar with them." of."

Tao Tao hurriedly got up, walked up to the Taoist priest who was looking for the peach wood sword, and asked with the purse in his waist, "How much is it, I bought it."

The Taoist thought he heard it wrong, so he looked Tao Tao up and down suspiciously.

"Twenty copper coins!" Taoist priests are actually the kind of cheaters who don't know much about food and drink, and it was just a coincidence that they caught the little fox.Naturally, the bid was not high, and this amount of money was just Tao Tao's three baskets of herbs.

Tao Tao was about to take out the money without hesitation, when Aunt Zhang slammed the table and said loudly, "Yesterday you said fifteen copper coins, are you trying to grab the money today?"

Thanks to her loud voice, she saved Tao Tao five copper coins.The village is poor, and it's almost as if everyone has been bought by a demon, so there is no spare money to buy a demon to play.The Taoist priest who catches monsters dislikes that the village is full of poor ghosts, so he will leave after collecting the money, and before leaving, he kindly tells Tao Tao not to tear up the demon-subduing charm.

Tao Tao didn't care about him, she bought four honey cakes and left the village with the cage. The little fox in the cage looked at him uneasily.

Outside, Ruofeng waited anxiously, and when he saw Tao Tao coming back with the cage, he almost cried.He boasted that Tao Tao was a hero, a master, and a Bodhisattva.The little fox was stupidly confused about the situation, so he whined twice.

Tao Tao found a hidden place and tore off the demon-subduing talisman for him.Unexpectedly, when the demon-subduing talisman touched Tao Tao's fingertips, it pricked him like a needle.Tao Tao withdrew her hand in pain, frowned, and tried again.This time there is no problem, and it was removed smoothly.

But Tao Tao pointed out that his heart was bleeding, and Ruofeng worried: "Does this demon-subduing talisman even hurt the gods?"

"Strange, according to the principle, it is not allowed to hurt the gods." Tao Tao sucked her fingertips in wonder, took out a bottle of wound medicine from her bosom and threw it to Ruofeng, "There is still some in it, you wipe it on the little fox. "

He took out two pieces of honey cake for them to eat, and kept two pieces to take home for Ji Huai to eat.

Ruofeng took the wound medicine and honey cake, and was completely moved.I have repeatedly said thank you several times, and I will definitely come to the door with a fish tomorrow to thank you.Tao Tao thought it was good, Ji Huai had just recovered from a serious illness, so he could make some fish soup for nourishment.He made an appointment with Ruofeng to ask for two crucian carp, and it would be best if he could peel and wash them for him. He doesn't like killing fish.

Seeing Tao Tao's cheerful steps back home, Ruofeng sighed: "I'm not very good at killing fish either." After all, he ate the whole fish together.

"Well."

The little fox in the cage had come out by himself, and bumped Ruofeng's leg with his head.

Ruofeng almost forgot that the little fox was still injured, so he sat down on the ground and began to help him apply medicine: "I just forgot to ask, Tao Tao's celestial skills are so low, how can I save you?"It must be difficult to deal with.

The little fox said shyly, "Fifteen copper coins."

Ruofeng: "What?"
