The demise of Peach Blossom Village

Ye Wuque did not buy a sword. Although Ye Wuque and his men were quite proficient in all weapons, Ye Wuque and his men's strength did not rely on weapons.

Ye Wuque bought a good horse and left Taicheng with Lingling. Lingling was a little unhappy, but he had no complaints about Ye Wuque's decision without authorization. Moreover, Ye Wuque felt that Lingling must have known that the two of them would leave Taicheng sooner or later and leave the pancake shop. However, due to the insertion of the "Journey to the Year", my popularity suddenly increased. Although it had not reached the level of attention of the royal palace, leaving had become an inevitable trend. Her unhappiness was just reluctant to leave the two of them for those carefree days.

In fact, Ye Wuque is the same.

Thinking about the last time I left Taicheng, it happened two and a half months ago. Those who followed me should have missed the trajectory with me. This time was almost the time limit agreed by the two of them, "Taiheng Mountain". Now I think that not only Zi Ri would not go to Taiheng Mountain, but Ye Wuque would not be able to go either. After all, the time was too short. After all, the time was too short. When I returned to Taohua Village and went to Lingling Suishi Xiaoyao for a while, I missed the appointment of "Taiheng Mountain".

After the two left Taicheng, they might be because they were idle all the way. Lingling missed the warriors very much, and they kept talking about why the disappearing warriors had not appeared yet. Calculate the days, the warriors left Lingling a month before Ye Wuque escaped from the palace. Now they have not returned for more than three months. They have not sent a letter or sent a message to anyone, and there is no news. Lingling mentioned to Ye Wuque many times that she is actually very grateful to the warriors.

After the warrior brought Ye Wuque to the palace, he returned to Taohua Village to find Lingling. He asked Lingling for the short dagger representing the identity of "Dragon Scale". In exchange, the warrior also took Lingling away from Taohua Village and came to Taicheng. He also found a relatively stable baked cake shop for Lingling outside Taicheng. While giving Lingling a hope, he also took care of Lingling for seven years. Now, Ye Wuque should really thank the warrior, that is, the "Dragon Scale" of the fourth prince of the previous generation, Tian Cang. In addition, Ye Wuque learned about another one from Lingling.

One thing is that when Tianzang returned to Taohua Village, he actually sat with Lao Li for a long time. This made Ye Wuque guess that they had known each other for a long time, and even before Tianzang had seen Ye Wuque. Now, the look that Tianzang looked at Lao Li when he was picking Ye Wuque away in Taohua Village was really a complicated and passionate look. Although they did not recognize each other immediately at that time, and they pretended not to know each other with tacit understanding, Ye Wuque could guess that they must have a good relationship.

In addition, Ye Wuque really wants to know what the previous generation "Dragon Scale" who released Ye Wuque from the royal palace are now. After all, it is definitely impossible to teach Ye Wuque for seven years, saying it is all hatred. And from the moment he left the royal palace, Ye Wuque has never hated them, and Ye Wuque has long known deeply that neither the fate of the two people nor their destiny can be controlled at will.

The two of them encountered no obstacles along the way, and Ye Wuque and Lingling thought a lot. Because this time the journey was like a horse, their itinerary was much faster. Soon they arrived at "Xuhuan Town".

Although I have been to "Xuhuan Town", my exact appearance is already very vague. I only remember the sad history of this town and the regretful life that the owner of the only inn inn inn told Ye Wuque. I wonder if the boss can recognize Ye Wuque when he returns to that inn again.

Ye Wuque and Lingling walked on the streets of Xuhuan Town with their horses. Because they were the only inn, Ye Wuque quickly found out the address. Lingling was surprised that although the town was not big, there was only one inn. Ye Wuque said that this was once a dead city, and it would be great if there were people again. Lingling still couldn't understand. She felt that even a dead city should have some vitality after more than ten years of restoration, and it should not be as dead as it is now. How can life be full of sunshine with such a self-deprecating atmosphere?

The two found the inn and met the short boss again. The boss was still alone. Compared to seven years ago, the boss seemed more haggard and older. It seemed that the passage of time did not erase his grief of losing his loved ones.

The boss did not recognize Ye Wuque, and he seemed much more decadent, and he didn't even have the perfunctory smile that was seven years ago. He just smiled politely to the two of them, even if he greeted him, Ye Wuque found that although the business in the boss's store was still not good this time, there were at least some customers.

Coincidentally, the room the boss arranged for the two was the one where Ye Wuque and the Samurai lived. Everything here has not changed. The boss who was also in grief and a little mentally ill, and the room where the teacup was not changed. Even the position of the stool that the Samurai had sat on for the night had not changed. It took seven years to be like the next day.

When night fell, Ye Wuque greeted Lingling and left the room alone.

When he walked to the entrance of the inn, as Ye Wuque expected, the boss was still sitting alone at the door, smoking his own cigarette and staring at the horizon in a daze.

Ye Wuque sat next to him, and the boss suddenly reacted and nodded in surprise to Ye Wuque. Ye Wuque smiled and said, "Boss, do you really don't know me?"

The boss stared at my face and frowned for a long time: "Brother, I really think you look familiar, but I just can't remember where you have seen it. Have you ever stayed in our store before?

Ye Wuque said: "I have lived."

The boss said: "When?"

Ye Wuque said: "Seven years ago, I came with a man in my thirties. At that time, I was still young and only looked so tall."

The boss frowned and thought for a long time, but he could not remember that there was a person like Ye Wuque. Then he smiled relievedly and said, "Brother, don't mind. I have been a little dazed in the past few years, and my head has become increasingly unsophisticated. Many people forgot about it the next day. The boy saw that he was a noble man from the big city, but he didn't expect to remember us little people in the countryside.

Ye Wuque said: "I don't mind, but I am not a noble person in the big city. I am a native of Taohua Village.

Ye Wuque obviously saw that the boss had a wrong mood. He said: "Taohua Village..., which Taohua Village in Liangcheng?

Ye Wuque said: "Yes."

The boss frowned and said, "Is the guy going back to Taohua Village this time?"

Ye Wuque said: "Yes."

The boss then looked around nervously, then whispered to Ye Wuque: "Brother, don't go back. Don't tell others that you are going back to Taohua Village. Taohua Village was circulated by the government three years ago. There is no Taohua Village anymore.

Ye Wuque was shocked and asked, "How could this happen?"

The boss continued: "Three years ago, I don't know who found out that at least half of the people in Taohua Village were actually fleeing prisoners of the imperial court. Many soldiers came to the imperial city and surrounded Taohua Village. I heard that those soldiers could not fly in a mosquito surrounded by the village, and then sent people to massacre, and finally set fire to the entire village. Taohua Village probably... no one survived.

Ye Wuque was so shocked that he couldn't speak. The boss patted my shoulder and comforted Ye Wuque and said, "If you go back to see your relatives, I'm afraid you've already... kid, listen to me, don't go back. Now, when you go back, you will find out to the people in the government that you will be arrested as a fugitive."

Lao Li will never die. Ye Wuque thought of the taciturn and tough man. He will never die so easily. If it were Ye Wuque, in that case, he would probably be able to easily replace one of the soldiers and escape from the troubled waters.

Lao Li will never die.

Ye Wuque was silent for a long time. The boss sighed and advised Ye Wuque, "Child, please be mournful and follow the changes. I think I came here like this. My wife and children..."

Ye Wuque looked at the boss. The boss smiled at Ye Wuque, and tears began to appear in his eyes. He looked at the endless distance in the sky and said slowly in a tired voice: "How many years have passed, it's been seventeen years. My story will start from seventeen years ago..."

It was exactly the same as seven years ago, Ye Wuque and his boss sat on the bench in front of the inn. He held a cigarette in his hand. Under the dim sky, he told Ye Wuque the last story of his life. The entire Xuhuan Town was destroyed overnight. The boss's life was completely destroyed from that time on.

It’s just that it’s different from seven years ago, when the boss told Ye Wuque a story, it was sunrise, and this time it was sunset.

After the story was told, the boss could not help but start to shed slender tears. Ye Wuque had heard of this story and was not too involved. Moreover, because he had another thing in mind, he could not be sad with the boss.

Ye Wuque waited until the boss calmed down for a while and asked, "Boss, your business seems to be better than before. When I came here, there were no customers here. Now there seems to be other customers in this store besides us?

The boss forced a smile and said, "Yes. In addition to you, there is also a wealthy family living in our store.

Ye Wuque asked in a low voice: "Where did the wealthy family come from? Why do we come to our poor and remote place?

The boss touched his tears and said, "It's strange that these people came to my store more than two months ago. They have been living here for more than two months and have never left. I asked them, and they just said they were waiting for people. These people were very strange. There were two of them, one was Yushu Lingfeng, with a kingly aura between their eyebrows. The other man was a little old, fifty or sixty years old, but he was very energetic, and his eyes were fierce. He gave people a feeling of being arrogant without anger. The others were like the followers of these two people, but they were all energetic and they were not ordinary people at first sight. However, except for these two people, the followers around them were often replaced. I didn't see the disappearing followers going out, and I didn't know why the followers disappeared. The two people looked very calm and didn't care at all.

Ye Wuque said: "It's getting late, boss, please take a break early."

The boss said: "Yes."

Ye Wuque stood up, suddenly thought of something and said, "Boss, have you ever thought about opening another branch?"

The boss smiled and said, "No one came to this remote place, but Ye Wuque's store is not very good at business, so how can he open a branch?"

Ye Wuque said: "No, no, no, it's not here, you can open a branch in the imperial city."

The boss looked at Ye Wuque in surprise: "Imperial City?"

Ye Wuque said: "Boss, your life was over here 17 years ago. Why do you stay here and keep deceiving yourself? This is just torture yourself. It is better to simply welcome a new life, go to the place you yearn for, and welcome a new beginning in your life. I am afraid... this is also the result that your wife and children in the spring want to see the most? After all, even if the person who truly loves you hopes you can live a better life even if he dies.

The boss sat on the stool and remained silent. Ye Wuque returned to the room silently.
