Since I met you, people are dying every day

Taozhuang is at the foot of the mountain in the south of the city. The peach trees in the garden are patchwork. Many wooden houses are built under the trees. On weekdays, the wooden houses are reserved for those who take care of the peach trees. When the flowers bloom, the wooden houses are neatly repaired and rented out to tourists.As for eating and drinking utensils, ordinary people can naturally do it themselves, and Taozhuang who is willing to spend money will also provide servants.

It was late spring, the scenery at the foot of the mountain was perfect, and there were endless cars and horses along the road. Ye Sirui picked up the curtain all the way and saw many wealthy families in the city.Ye Sirui was sitting in an ordinary carriage without official uniform, so he got out of the carriage happily, and personally hugged Ye Kuang.

He does not want to socialize with others and is happy to conceal his identity.

After resting for three days, Ye Sirui rented the wooden house with confidence.The wooden house is small and exquisite, with elegant decoration. The screen and bed are mostly made of bamboo.Even though Ye Sirui was extremely picky, he couldn't help admiring a few times.

Ye Kuang is not interested no matter how delicate the decoration is, he was already distracted by the peach blossoms in the garden when Ye Sirui carried him into the Zhuangzi.But Ye Sirui opened his mouth: "Kuang'er, are you tired today? Change your clothes, let's go eat."

Ye Kuang was so anxious that his face turned red, and he couldn't say a complete sentence, but kept calling: "Uncle Rui... Flowers! Peach blossoms!"

Ye Sirui laughed enough, and said: "Your flowers are indispensable, go and change clothes."

The servants of Taozhuang came up to serve with knowledge and interest.

The meals used are wild game from the mountains. The people in Taozhuang bought it from Orion and hired a special person to cook it. Naturally, it has a special flavor.Ye Sirui still loves mushroom soup, and couldn't bear to drink a few more cups.

After eating, Ye Kuang finally entered the Zhuangzi to play as he wished.The pink and white petals were flying all over the sky, and the little boy was stunned. "Uncle Rui! So beautiful!" Ye Kuang shouted excitedly as he turned around and tugged at his sleeve.

"You can only say it's beautiful, but the ancients wrote it thoroughly in the saying 'There are no miscellaneous trees in the middle, the fragrant grass is delicious, and the falling flowers are colorful'." Seeing that he was tired, Ye Sirui simply knelt down and said to him.

"Uncle is talking about Mr. Wuliu's "Peach Blossom Spring"?" A crunchy and sticky voice sounded.

Ye Sirui raised his head and looked in surprise at a little girl who was about the same age as Ye Kuang bouncing over.The little girl was wearing a light yellow skirt and a double bun, looking pink and lovely.

"You know Mr. Wuliu? What a wonderful little girl." Ye Sirui chuckled.

The little girl saluted him generously. "Uncle Xie praised."

Ye Sirui found it interesting, so he said, "My surname is Ye, and this is my nephew Ye Kuang. What's the girl's name?" He looked at Ye Kuang while speaking, and Ye Kuang greeted the little girl awkwardly.

"My name is Jinniang. Hello, Uncle Ye, hello, brother Ye Kuang." The little girl laughed with two sweet dimples, and her bright eyes were about to overflow with a smile. Even Ye Kuang, who was a little unhappy because of Ye Sirui's praise just now, also laughed out. , "Since we met, let's play together!"

"Jin Niang? Where are you, Jin Niang? What are you messing around with?" A woman's voice came from a distance, Jin Niang tilted her head and smiled, revealing two dimples. "My mother is calling me, I have to go. Goodbye Uncle Ye, goodbye brother Ye Kuang." Ye Sirui smiled and nodded, watching her trot all the way there.

After Jinniang walked away, Ye Kuang asked awkwardly: "What is "Peach Blossom Spring" she is talking about?"

Ye Sirui couldn't help teasing him: "At this moment, do I know that I don't study much?"

Ye Kuang blushed, knowing that Uncle Rui was dissatisfied with his waste of reading these days, so he bowed his head and remained silent.

Ye Sirui said unhurriedly: "This is an article by Tao Yuanming, a poet of the Wei and Jin Dynasties. It is said that once upon a time there was a fisherman in Wuling who sailed along a stream one day and came across a peach grove..."

After listening to the story, Ye Kuang asked him curiously: "Uncle Rui, if we walk along this peach blossom forest, will we enter the peach blossom garden?"

"Perhaps." Ye Sirui replied.

Later, Jinniang's father Liu Yueze came to visit.

When Liu Yueze saw his wife and children in the evening, he didn't take it seriously when he heard his wife talk about her daughter's running around, but when she heard her describe the uncle and boy she met by chance, the more she heard it, the more she felt like County Magistrate Ye. .After inquiring about the news from the servants, they came to visit.

Liu Yueze did not prepare the ceremony in advance, and only brought a few snacks made by his wife.Ye Sirui saw that there were some Qingming dumplings, sesame candies and the like, but they were in season, so he gave them to Ye Kuang, told his servants to follow him, and asked him to play by himself.

Liu Yueze is tall and tall, wearing a Tsing Yi, and his speech and behavior are quite elegant.Gein was originally a scholar, and he started business after repeated failures, mostly selling food.The business is not big, but it is no problem to support the family.When Ye Sirui came out for an outing, he didn't intend to greet him, but he wanted to flatter and find topics, so Ye Sirui became fascinated while chatting.The sky was completely dark, and it was already past the deadline, so Liu Yueze reluctantly bid farewell.

After seeing off the guest, Ye Sirui, he was finally relieved.When they returned to the back room, they found that Ye Kuang and his servants were gone.

"Kuang'er?" Ye Sirui was startled, and immediately walked out while calling, "Did you see where my nephew went?" Ye Sirui asked the servant at the door.

The servant apologized and said with a smile: "The young master seems to want to go out to play, and went out with the servants."

"How long have you been out?" Ye Sirui asked with a frown.

"Two sticks of incense?" The servant replied cautiously.

Ye Sirui felt even more ominous.Ye Kuang is a sensible child, he definitely won't come back after playing until so late. "Go and inform the owner that my nephew is lost, tell him to organize someone to find it!" Ye Sirui gritted his teeth and walked out.

The Taozhuang owner who was awakened heard that the magistrate was missing, so he immediately got up in fright and organized a group of servants to look for them with lanterns. They searched the garden quickly, and only found the old man who followed Ye Kuang. A comatose servant.Ye Sirui gritted his teeth and ordered, poured a basin of cold water on it, and then he woke up in a daze. He knelt down in a panic and apologized. He only said that the young master wanted to go out to play, but he didn't dare to ask Ye Sirui. In order to make him happy, he said that he was nearby. Just turn around, but Ye Kuang ran into the depths of the peach forest as soon as he went out, he followed behind, and fainted after following.

Ye Sirui was so angry that he kicked up, and the pain of that person made him still unable to understand his hatred.

Many guests were woken up. They heard that they were looking for someone, and looked nervously at their children, only to fall asleep when no one was missing.

Ye Sirui was very anxious, but he had no choice but to ask the owner to go to the mountain to look for it. The owner hesitated, seeing his unkind expression, he gritted his teeth and said, "Caomin will go find the hunters in the mountain, and they will lead them. I will find the son!"

The bright red lanterns lit up half of the night sky.

Ye Sirui wanted to follow him to look for it, but the owner and hunters said that the mountain was overgrown with wild beasts, so they tried to persuade him to go back.Ye Sirui knew that he was used to being pampered, so he might not be able to help and would add to the chaos.Going back to the room and squatting on the couch for a while, unable to fall asleep, as soon as he closed his eyes, there was a tragic scene of blood flowing like a river.

When it was almost dawn, someone finally came back to report.Ye Sirui woke up with a start. "What's wrong?"

"Found it!" the visitor said excitedly.

Ye Sirui rushed outside to look around, and sure enough, there was an Orion following him, and Ye Kuang, who was sleeping, was on his back.

Ye Sirui nervously took Ye Kuang's breath out of him, and the person who followed said with a smile: "Young master is fine, but he is very sleepy and fast asleep." Ye Kuang was found by a stream on the mountain. He fell asleep when he found it, and he didn't wake up when he was carried all the way back.

Ye Sirui thanked God, took out a handful of broken silver to thank the hunters, and told the owner of the village to keep quiet, before carrying Ye Kuang back to the house to rest.

At noon on the second day, Ye Kuang just woke up.As soon as he saw Ye Sirui, he rushed over and said excitedly: "Uncle Rui, I have seen Peach Blossom Spring!"

"What?" Ye Sirui was stunned.

"I saw Peach Blossom Spring." Ye Kuang repeated happily.

"You said you went to Taohuayuan yesterday?" Ye Sirui squinted his eyes and asked, he began to feel angry.

"Yes." Ye Kuang didn't realize that he was wrong, and just said happily: "I just thought it was a dream, it's exactly the same story as Uncle Rui you told me!"

When Ye Kuang fell asleep, Ye Sirui had already checked his whole body, and there were indeed no injuries.He didn't rush to ask, but changed the question: "Are you hungry? I asked the kitchen to make porridge for you."

"I'm not hungry, I ate a lot in Taohuayuan." Ye Kuang still salivated when he recalled it.Ye Sirui's heart tightened, but he watched coldly and didn't speak. He handed him a bowl of japonica rice porridge. clean.

Ye Sirui didn't speak all the time, but at this moment he silently took the bowl in his hand and put it down, as if asking casually: "Kuang'er, is there any salt in the food they serve you?"

"Yes." Ye Kuang didn't understand, "It's the same as the food we usually eat—no, it's better than the usual food!"

Ye Sirui didn't ask any more questions, and took him to bid farewell to the owner after he had a rest.The owner of the villa made countless apologies and laughed countless times in a day, so that the two of them would not have to pay for each other.Hearing from Ye Sirui that he wanted to go back, he repeatedly asked someone to prepare a car to see him off in person, and because the two of them only brought the coachman, they specially ordered the masters from the village to escort them on horseback.Ye Sirui couldn't help mentioning Zhuangzi's strengthening of security, and the owner of the Zhuangzi responded repeatedly.

After returning to the yamen, Ye Sirui asked someone to take a post to invite Xia Shu, but the people who went there hit a wall, Xia Shu was not around.He had no choice but to ask someone to invite a doctor again, only saying that he was worried about Ye Kuang's weakness and asked for a safe pulse.But he still ordered his servants to guard Xia Shu's house, and inform him to come to the yamen as soon as he came back.

Ye Kuang lay obediently on the couch waiting for his pulse.The old doctor stretched out his hand to feel his pulse, stroked his beard and pondered for a moment, "The young master is not in serious condition, if you are worried, wait for the old man to prescribe a calming prescription."

Ye Sirui ordered someone to bring a pen and paper.

Ye Kuang frowned when he heard that he was going to take medicine, and started acting coquettishly as soon as the doctor left.He knew that Ye Sirui was difficult to accommodate, so he kept begging the maid beside him: "Good sister, but please forgive me."

The maids covered their mouths and laughed, but said: "We can't be the master." Ye Sirui said: "If the young master refuses to take the medicine, he will also save his food."

After Ye Kuang rested for a long time, Ye Sirui walked into his room. "Kuang'er, can you tell me more about Peach Blossom Spring?"
