Peach Blossom Button

The early spring morning was still bitterly cold.A few birds that are not afraid of the cold are chirping on the branches, and the huge white magnolia flowers are tremblingly blooming in the cold wind, and a few plump petals will fall from time to time.

With a flash of silver light, the petals split into two and fell slowly. The young swordsman standing in the courtyard put away his sword, just about to turn around and go back to the house, when he turned his head and found a person leaning against the door.Bai Wangyan was wrapped in a thick fur-collared cloak, leaning against the door with his hands tightly folded, staring at Tao Mo in a daze. When the man in his eyes turned around, a smile appeared on his face.

Tao Mo hung the Zhuohua Sword from his waist, walked quickly to his side, stretched out his hand to grab Bai Wangyan's wrist and brought it in: "Come into the room, it's cold by the door."

"It's not cold to look at you." Bai Wangyan squinted his eyes and smiled, and grabbed Tao Mo's waist, but was firmly held down by the hand full of sword wounds and calluses. He smiled at the swordsman clearly, and wrapped his arms Tao Mo withdrew his hand, but quickly and lightly pinched Tao Mo's waist before letting go honestly.After coming to the imperial capital, the two stayed overnight in the inn. Although it was early in the morning, there were already people busy in the backyard. Assuming that Tao Mo didn't see the slightly blaming gaze, Bai Wangyan smiled in satisfaction, and turned his head. Turning around: "A Mo, I wonder when the Furong Building will open?"

Already familiar with Bai Wangyan's way of speaking in circles, Tao Mo asked directly: "What do you want to eat? I'll go buy it."

"Looking at the dim sum called 'Drunken Taoyuan' yesterday, it was very fresh." Bai Wangyan patted Tao Mo's shoulder, "Go back to the imperial city, let's try something new."

Bai Wangyan opened his mouth to ask for the things he asked for, Tao Mo dared to be negligent, he nodded in agreement, and quickly walked out of the backyard door, heading towards Furong Tower.Seeing Tao Mo go out, the smile on Bai Wangyan's face gradually cooled down. He returned to the inn wrapped in a fur-collared cloak, went upstairs and entered the room, and took out the hidden face from his luggage. and a dark suit.The handsome young man unfolded the very ordinary-looking human skin mask, but he sighed deeply. Afterwards, he changed the white clothes on his body and put on the mask, and the white-clothed scholar transformed into a A very ordinary-looking young man.With such an appearance, he gently pushed open the window, performed his lightness kung fu and jumped out of the window.The slightly cold spring breeze blows, leaving only an empty house.

Drunk Taoyuan.Recently, Furonglou's new dim sum is made of peach petal-like pink and white skin, with white sand-like stuffing hidden in it. It is made with peach blossom stuffing and honey, and the sweet heart is almost crispy.Even if it takes a long time to make, the noble ladies in the imperial capital have to send their servants to wait early in the morning to buy a few boxes and bring them back to the house.

The name is very beautiful, half leaning under the peach blossom tree, the wine is not intoxicating, everyone is drunk, but if the Taoyuan has already been destroyed by a huge fire, where will people go?I am afraid that he will be lost in this chaotic world long ago.Looking at the exquisite snacks neatly placed in the box, Tao Mo felt a sense of sadness in vain. This sadness was deeply rooted in his bones, even more painful than witnessing the tragic death of his master.It's not that he doesn't want to kill the enemies of the clan, but after several years, he can't recall the appearance of the leader at that time, he only knows that the disaster came extremely suddenly that day.

Even if it is a natural disaster, there will be a sign.But the place where the hometown is located is extremely closed, and it is even possible to get there through a narrow cave. The group of people are like dark clouds that suddenly appear from the sky, breaking into the quiet village mighty and mighty, turning everything into flying ash...

Why are they doing this?

But when I go back to my memory, I can’t remember clearly. Maybe it’s too far away from now, or maybe my memory has been hindered by the catastrophe.

While recalling the old scars through that snack, Tao Mo was suddenly bumped slightly by someone walking towards him, and he hurriedly said "Sorry".It seemed to be a petite woman, wearing an apricot-colored shirt, who heard Tao Mo's apology but didn't answer, and hurriedly left in the opposite direction from Tao Mo.Tao Mo lowered his head and glanced at the snacks in his hands. Fortunately, the four snacks were not damaged, and they were squeezed into the box like peaches. He was relieved, but he didn't take two steps, and suddenly stopped .

He fumbled in his arms hesitantly, Tao Mo's expression froze a bit, he lifted the cover of the snack box in his hand, and turned his head to look suddenly.On the street in the early morning, only passers-by in twos and threes passed by, but the woman in the apricot skirt had long since disappeared.

I ran into a thief!

Tao Mo tightened his brows, started his lightness kung fu, and chased after the woman in the direction where she left.But in just such a blink of an eye, the woman had disappeared. He knew in his heart that the other party's lightness kung fu was excellent. Standing on the roof next to the street, there was no shadow of any apricot skirt woman in his sight.Tao Mo couldn't help feeling regretful in his heart. The same was true for chasing the thief who snatched the goddess' tears in Miaojiang before. He thought that although his lightness kung fu was not the top, it was above ordinary warriors, but he could not catch up with the thief who snatched the goddess' tears. , now even a thief on the street is so negligent...

Besides, what he lost just now was not the purse, but the white jade pendant that Bai Wangyan gave him.Thinking that it was a gift from Bai Wangyan himself, Tao Mo felt even more regretful. The jade pendant was carefully kept by him and placed close to his body. Before Miao Jiang accidentally fell into the muddy water, he felt distressed for a long time. Now it is Being touched by someone is like a sharp knife piercing the heart!But the little thief ran so fast, he was helpless now, so he had to walk back towards the inn in frustration.

Tao Mo came back slower than expected. When Bai Wangyan shed his disguise, changed into a white dress again, made a pot of tea in the inn and looked at the music score for half an hour, the door was suddenly pushed open.

Bai Wangyan raised his head, just about to ask why it was too late, but suddenly realized that something was wrong with Tao Mo, and he knew something had happened.He immediately frowned, closed the piano score in his hand, walked quickly to Tao Mo, took the snack box in his hand, and asked softly: "What's the matter?" After closing the door, he pulled Tao Mo to sit on the chair.

Tao Mo was pulled into a chair by Bai Wangyan and sat down, his brows were still tightly furrowed, and even formed a Sichuan character. The more he thought about it, the more depressed he became. He had excellent swordsmanship, but he was defeated by lightness kung fu several times in a row. Yan cared about asking questions, but still kept silent, just continued to sulk.

Bai Wangyan saw that Tao Mo's anger was serious, his clothes were neat and undamaged, and even his waist was so quiet, he picked up the box of desserts, only to find that the four pieces of peach blossoms were squeezed crookedly in it, It's not like a quarrel, and it doesn't have any conflict with others.Bai Wangyan suddenly understood a little bit: "Meet a thief?"

"You, how do you know!" Tao Mo didn't want to talk about it at first, but Bai Wangyan guessed it right, and he felt a little panic in his heart. He was afraid that Bai Wangyan would find out that he had lost the jade pendant.

Seeing the usually taciturn and honest swordsman in black dodging his gaze left and right, Bai Wangyan raised his eyebrows slightly, but laughed out loud: "What are you afraid of? It's just a loss of money. If you lose something yellow and white, you lose it... ..." After saying this with a smile, Bai Wangyan suddenly stopped, Tao Mo is not such a person who cares about money, did he lose something important?

But the words had come to this point, Tao Mo knew that no matter how much he could hide it, he could only cover his mouth with his hands, staring downcastly at the ground: "It's not that I lost money..."

Bai Wangyan only felt a muffled "click" in his heart, but he still tried his best to maintain a smile on his face: "It's okay, things outside of the body don't have to..."

"I lost the waist pendant you gave me." Tao Mo finally said, he didn't dare to look at Bai Wangyan, but suddenly there was a gasping voice next to his ear, and he hurriedly cast his eyes on Bai Wangyan , only to find that the usually calm and gentle scholar in white was terrified.

"You lost... that waist pendant?" Bai Wangyan stared at Tao Mo in disbelief. After receiving an affirmative answer, he grabbed the teacup on the table with great difficulty, took a sip and then put it down. He stood up and recited it. He began to walk around in circles in the room.It was the first time Tao Mo saw Bai Wangyan showing such restlessness, and his heart suddenly became cold again.It seems that the waist pendant is an extremely important thing...but I was so careless that someone stole such an important jade pendant!

"I'll go find that thief again." Saying that, Tao Mo was about to walk out holding the Zhuohua Sword.

"It's useless." Bai Wangyan stopped and rubbed his fingers between his brows. He sighed, "I didn't come here for money. Lightness kung fu is superior to you. I'm afraid I've been staring at you for a long time."

When Tao Mo heard what Bai Wangyan said, it was indeed the case. Now that he was chasing him so blindly, he might be like a headless chicken, but he had nothing to do at this time. It's just for such a moment, but he really lost his way.

"But we're new here, so why are we staring at that waist pendant?" Tao Mo wondered, "That waist pendant is important to me because you gave it to me, but what effect does it have on that thief?"

He didn't know anything about jade wares, he just thought that the jade pendant was as white as suet and beautifully carved, there was nothing else other than that.

When Bai Wangyan heard Tao Mo say, "Because you gave it to me", although there was a look of relief on his face, the loss of the jade pendant made him even more upset.Tao Mo, a silly boy, doesn't even know he's being targeted!I only blame myself for not being able to tell him the real intention of the jade pendant, otherwise...

"Forget it, just throw it away..." Finally, Bai Wangyan sat back on the chair again, but still refused to give up. He continued to ask, "Do you remember the appearance of that thief?"

"It's a woman in an apricot dress," Tao Mo quickly replied, "she's not tall, and she's not very old either."

"Huh, I remember clearly," Bai Wangyan snorted, but he caught a glimpse of the regretful expression on Tao Mo's face in an instant, and he coughed twice to clear his throat, "Strange, I really don't remember any woman There is such a lightness skill..." At this point, he did suddenly think of someone.

"Skillful hands are like shadows, catching the stars and catching the moon, could it be that...you have bumped into the thief of the moon?"
