Chapter 208 Peach Blossom Tree ~ Peach Blossom Wine ~
Chapter 208 Peach Blossom Tree ~ Peach Blossom Wine ~
Shen Ming did not answer but just stared at the empty Xiaojue Peak in a daze.
Jiang Yan shook his head slightly.
"Ming'er is changing more and more every day~ As an old father, I can't even guess what Ming'er is thinking now~"
"Master~"
"Ah."
Jiang Yan remained in the same posture, and a light "hmm" sound came from his throat.
Shen Ming raised his head and looked at Jiang Yan with burning eyes.
“Let’s plant trees!”
Jiang Yan raised his eyebrows slightly.
"What does Ming'er want to do?"
"Plant trees, let's plant trees! Plant all the trees on Xiaojue Peak!"
Jiang Yan looked at Shen Ming as if he were a silly child.
"Ming'er, what's wrong with you? Do you think my teacher would plant trees by himself? You should do such a laborious task. I won't do it."
"Why? Didn't Master already plant chrysanthemums all over this place? If that's the case, why can't we plant them again with Shen Ming? Besides, won't you get tired of only having chrysanthemums?"
Jiang Yan waved his hands with an impatient look on his face.
"Don't plant it, don't plant it. If you want to plant it, go ahead and don't disturb my sleep~"
After saying that, he closed his eyes, hugged the gourd, turned over and faced away from Shen Ming.
Shen Ming looked at Jiang Yan's back with an inexplicable light in his eyes.
She turned around and lay down in front of Jiang Yan~
"Master, please, let's plant trees together. Just think of it as accompanying Shen Ming."
Jiang Yan turned over again without blinking and faced away from Shen Ming.
Shen Ming didn't give up. She turned around and started acting coquettishly towards Jiang Yan, shaking him with her little hand.
"Master, how about this? If Master agrees to give Shen Ming a month of free massage, what do you think?"
Jiang Yan turned around again, but Shen Ming kept pestering Jiang Yan and bothering him.
After a while, Jiang Yan was annoyed by the disturbance and stood up, flicked his sleeves, put his hands behind his back and went into the attic.
The gate closed and the seal opened automatically.
Shen Ming stared blankly at the unsealed attic, his little hand falling on his chest.
She held the pendant around her neck in her hand, which was also engraved with a rootless chrysanthemum fluttering in the wind.
"Why~"
…………
As night falls, the weather gets cooler.
Jiang Yan tossed and turned in bed. Normally he could fall asleep as soon as he lay down, but now he couldn't fall asleep at all.
This is also true even when activating the Dream Heart Sutra.
He knew that it was his subconscious mind that prevented him from falling asleep, and only the resistance from his ego could prevent the Dream Heart Sutra from entering his dreams.
"What's wrong with me?"
Jiang Yan tossed and turned before he sat up, his eyes glowing faintly in the darkness.
He stood silently in the lightless darkness.
Clang! Clang!
A subtle sound came into Jiang Yan's ears, attracting his attention.
"What's that sound? Is Er Gouzi going crazy again?"
Jiang Yan frowned slightly, put on a coat casually and walked to the window.
The window was not closed tightly, perhaps because Shen Ming came in to play yesterday, or for other reasons.
A bright moon shone in, the silver light pierced through the darkness and shone on Jiang Yan's face. The night wind blew gently, lifting the corners of his clothes, bringing a little coolness~
But he doesn't care, and of course he doesn't need to care.
Outside the attic, a small figure was swinging a hoe in the moonlight and hitting the ground hard! Yes, smash!
Behind him were countless broken hoes and piles of saplings.
The girl wiped her sweat, raised her hoe and smashed it hard on the ground! Instantly a dent was created!
Then she picked up a sapling and put it in, using her small hands to pull the soil on both sides to bury the roots.
After doing all this, he trotted to the river, scooped a gourd of water and brought it back to pour on the sapling.
"Grow up quickly so that Master can lie down under you and enjoy the coolness!"
After saying that, she picked up the hoe and started working again.
Jiang Yan just stood there quietly, looking at the busy figure under the bright moon.
Half of the bright moon shines on his face, and half of his face is immersed in darkness.
I couldn't see his expression clearly, nor did I know what he was thinking.
…………
Shen Ming looked at the hoe in his hand that was broken again, his face full of regret.
"Damn it, how can you be so weak! Aren't the farm tools produced by Black and White Villa said to be of top quality? Shen Ming will definitely give you a bad review later!"
"You~"
A soft voice sounded from behind Shen Ming, and a warm big hand fell on her head and rubbed it gently.
"Master! You are here!"
Jiang Yan shook his head helplessly behind her.
"You work so loudly on purpose so that I can hear you! I couldn't sleep well all night~"
Shen Ming lowered his head embarrassedly and muttered softly.
"Who made the Master not come out~"
As she spoke, she felt her hand lighten; her hoe was taken away.
Jiang Yan looked at the broken hoe in two sections, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.
"Ming'er, it seems necessary to send you to the Agricultural College to learn how to hoe the land later~"
Shen Ming's eyes widened!
"No, no, no! Shen Ming doesn't want to go to school anymore! Shen Ming just graduated a month ago, and I really, really, really don't want to go to school anymore!"
Jiang Yan's eyes were filled with smiles.
"Okay, okay, okay. I won't send you there, okay? You're not much different from me in learning from me~"
"This little Juefeng has been nurtured by my master for many years. Although it cannot be called a magic weapon, it can be said to be a blessed land~"
"The soil inside is very hard. If you use brute force to smash it, you won't be able to plant even if you have thousands of hoes~"
Jiang Yan said this, then rolled up his sleeves and picked up a new hoe from the ground.
"Watch this and learn from this~ Bah! Bah!"
Jiang Yan spat on his hands twice, uh... habit.
Then he raised it high and dug down hard with the hoe!
Ding! ! Click! ! Whoosh~
The hoe broke in the middle, and the end was thrown into the air and spun due to hitting the rock!
Finally, it hit the head of Ergouzi who was sleeping at the door.
"Ah! Enemy attack! There is an enemy attack! Master, come quickly! Someone is invading Xiaojue Peak!"
Jiang Yan: …………
"This is an accident. I just had a breakthrough and I can't control my strength~"
“Pfft~Hahaha! Master, hahaha!”
Jiang Yan was pointed at on the nose by Shen Ming and laughed, his expression was somewhat unable to hold back.
"Laugh, laugh, laugh again?!"
Shen Ming pursed his lips! His expression was serious. Poof~ I can't hold it back at all!
Jiang Yan: "Okay, okay, today I will teach you to respect your teachers!"
“Ah, no~”
Day 2
Jiang Yan and Shen Ming wandered around Xiaojue Peak together.
You two hoe the land and I plant trees. As for the water transportation, I'll leave it to Er Gouzi.
Because it was not allowed to use magic power, Ergouzi had to water the plants back and forth with buckets in his mouth.
It was not until the afternoon that the two of them began to rest, and they had only completed a small half of the work, with a large part of the land still left to be planted.
But Er Gouzi was almost exhausted, with his four legs up in the air, his eyes rolled back, his tongue crooked, and he was eating and breathing heavily.
"Ergou is such a loser. How many years have you not moved? After all, you are a monster in the bone training realm. How can you be so tired after a few buckets of water?"
Er Gouzi was gasping for breath and said he didn't want to say anything. You two are both living fathers, who can afford to mess with you?
Jiang Yan smiled and joked a few words, then sat on the shore facing the dim sunlight and said.
"By the way, Ming'er, I haven't asked you what kind of tree this is? Is it a pear tree, an apple tree, or an apricot tree? Anyway, they all look similar to me~"
“It’s a peach tree~”
Shen Ming spoke calmly, his clear blue eyes met Jiang Yan's dark pupils, and the other person's figure was reflected in his eyes.
Jiang Yan was slightly stunned.
"A peach tree... isn't bad... I can eat peaches in the future, and I can also make peach blossom wine~"
Shen Ming showed no emotion and just repeated Jiang Yan's words.
"Yes~ Now we can make peach blossom wine~"
