[Republic of China] The paradise of rebirth

On this day, early in the morning, I found an excuse and brought Xiao Dongzi to Baishun Hutong. I only knew that Mei Lan should live here, but I didn't know which family it was.

So I took Xiaodongzi and walked leisurely, when there was a loud voice in the distance, I was secretly happy, it didn't take much effort, and I hurriedly took Xiaodongzi to the door of that house.

Xiaodongzi was about to knock on the door, but I stopped him. He looked at me suspiciously, but I just shook my head at him without saying anything. I listened quietly to the voice coming from the courtyard, and confirmed that it was Mei Lan. , I took Xiao Dongzi and left.

"Qingyi, didn't you come to find someone?" Xiao Dongzi walked with me in the alley, extremely puzzled.

"Well, yes." I replied slowly.

"Did you find it?" Xiao Dongzi wondered.

"Yeah." I was absent-minded, thinking about how to pull the owner over and let him listen to Mei Lan's voice. As long as the owner listens, he will definitely be willing to have him.

Xiaodongzi saw that I didn't want to say more, so he shut up and stopped asking. A flash of admiration flashed in my heart. Xiaodongzi really knows me best. From my words and deeds, he knows when to ask and what to ask. Time to shut up again.

When we got back to the garden, Xiaodongzi went to work on the affairs of the garden. When Old Xu saw me, he immediately came over to greet me: "Tsing Yi, the owner of the garden has been waiting for you for a long time."

"Oh? Where is the garden owner?"

"In the backyard with Master Qin." After Lao Xu finished speaking, he continued to teach him boxing.

When I came to the backyard, I saw the owner of the garden and Master Qin sitting on the side. It was Xu Fang who was walking in front of them.

I walked forward calmly, first bowed to Master Qin, and then looked at the owner: "The owner Tsing Yi is back."

"Well, you can walk around first." The garden owner nodded, and then asked me to show Xu Fang.

Xu Fang's expression on the side didn't change, but his movements were a little stiff. Presumably he didn't expect that the owner of the garden would ask me to point him out, and I didn't intend to pay attention to him, just pretend that he didn't exist.

I straighten my clothes, raise my hands and feet, and there is that ghost again. I step out, walking the part where Du Liniang met Liu Mengmei for the first time.

"Xu Fang, did you see clearly?" Master Qin asked after I stopped my feet.

"See clearly." Xu Fang nodded, but a trace of unwillingness and jealousy flashed across her expression. I frowned secretly. If it wasn't for the lobbying of the garden owner, I really didn't want to get into this muddy water. I'm afraid Xu Fang would miss me even more in the future. up.

Then I walked around a few more times, and the owner saw that it was almost done, so he asked me to go back to the room first. I was eager to leave quickly, so as soon as the owner opened his mouth, I immediately left.

After returning to the room, I changed my clothes first, then sat at the table and sipped tea slowly. After a while, I got up, closed the window carefully, and peeped out the door. After making sure no one was there, I closed the window. The door was locked.

Pressing my palm lightly on my chest, I felt the jade pendant through my clothes. I silently said "Go in", and appeared on the other side in a blink of an eye. This time I didn't panic like the first time, but carefully looked at the surrounding environment.

Small bridges and flowing water, although there is no small bridge, this flowing water has a special artistic conception. I bent down to scoop up a handful of water from the small river. The river water was so clear that I took a sip. Tasted a few sips.

After straightening up, I walked slowly along the river, but I didn't dare to go too far, because the river couldn't see the end, and I couldn't stay here for too long, so I had to give up my thoughts and come back to look for it when I had a chance in the future. Source it.

So I turned back and came to the building. This time I walked around to the backyard of the building and found that the backyard was full of sweet-scented osmanthus trees. I was pleasantly surprised. There is really sweet-scented osmanthus.

The sweet-scented osmanthus in the garden swayed with the wind, the breeze rustled, mixed with the fragrance of flowers, it was refreshing. I couldn't help closing my eyes and taking a deep breath. I was more and more satisfied with this world.

At this time, I noticed a gate on the fence. I opened the wooden gate and walked along the trail. Not long after passing through the woods, it suddenly became clear to me that it was an acre of fields. That Peach Blossom Spring?

But looking at the fields in front of me, I feel helpless. I have only been able to sing opera since elementary school, and I can only sing opera at this age. If these fields are handed over to me, I am afraid they will be abandoned.

I turned around and went back to the backyard of the building. When I passed an osmanthus tree, I stopped unconsciously. For some reason, I felt that this tree was very attractive to me, and I couldn’t help but want to touch it. I slowly stretched out my hand and put my palm on the tree. .

In an instant, I found darkness all around me. When I was wondering, there was a sudden light in front of my eyes. I was surprised to find that I was actually in a wooden box. What kind of wooden box is so big that it can hold me as a living person.

Then I found myself being lifted out of the wooden box. I looked at the gigantic figure in front of me in astonishment, and was terrified in my heart. Did I encounter a monster?Otherwise, how can there be such a tall person in this world.

The figure was against the light, making me unable to see the face clearly. My eyes were spinning anxiously. At this time, I accidentally glanced at the bronze mirror. I was surprised to find that the figure held a jade pendant. I was a little dazed. I became a jade pendant. ?

It's unbelievable, I just touched that tree just now, how did it become a jade pendant?I'm a little anxious, can I still get out of here?I panicked and didn't know what to do. After a while, the man put me back in the wooden box and closed the wooden box with a "slap".

I was back in the darkness again. At this time, I calmed down and said "go in" in my heart, but it was useless. I hurriedly touched my front, but found that the jade pendant was not on me. I was stunned and thought carefully, yes, sure There was a problem with that tree just now.

I closed my eyes and sketched the scene of the backyard of the building in my mind. I suddenly felt a breeze blowing on my face. I quickly opened my eyes, and I was back in the backyard. I found that my palm was still attached to the sweet-scented osmanthus tree. Take a few steps.

I hurriedly said "go out" silently, and returned to the wing room in an instant, stroking the rapid beating of my heart. Recall the details.

Is that hallucination?Or is it another world?I frowned and thought hard, but there was no result, so I had to think that if I don't get close to that tree next time, there should be no problem, otherwise I really don't want to part with that world, that world is like my peach blossom garden.

After making up my mind, I stopped frowning. I opened the window and was a little surprised that the owner of the backyard was still there. It seemed that the owner was determined to train Xu Fang. I have been in Taohuayuan for so long, and I have also experienced a strange It's been a while since the accident happened.

But how long they have to practice is none of my business, at this moment there was a knock on the door, I opened the door, and Xiao Dongzi came in with a bowl of sweet soup, I raised my eyebrows slightly: "Is this for lunch today?"

"Noon? Tsing Yi, are you thinking about lunch now?" Xiaodongzi asked funny.

"What time is it now?" I was taken aback, isn't it noon yet?

"It's only a quarter of an hour now, this sweet soup has just been stewed, you can try it." Xiao Dongzi didn't understand my surprise, just put the sweet soup on the table, and left to get busy again.

I sat down in a daze, drank the sweet soup and wondered, could it be that I have been in for so long, but the time outside has not passed?This is strange, it doesn't quite match the information Yupei gave me back then, which clearly said 'two worlds at the same time'.

Doesn't this sentence mean that time passes equally fast in both worlds?Why did I go in for so long today, but the time outside didn't last long?Suddenly, besides the sweet-scented osmanthus tree, I had another difficult problem.

After thinking about it, I didn't understand it, so I decided to put aside my doubts for the time being. I will worry about the secret of Taohuayuan when I have time. What I care about right now is to ask the owner of the garden to dig Mei Lan here before going to Tianjin.

Otherwise, I don’t know if there will be other changes during the round trip to Tianjin. There have been many small details. I am afraid that the time for Mei Lan to join the Xiliancheng Troupe will be advanced, so I decided to mention Mei Lan to the owner this afternoon. thing.
