Jiangshan Yingqiluo

Once the heavy snow had passed, the empty sky was not as clear as before, but turned gray and mottled, tightly suppressing the cold wind, making the vegetation depressed and dull.

[The winter in Kongsang is really hard, it seems that I will die before the flowering period. 】

The whispered words were trembling, and it was a spring plum tree in the garden, Huan Chunyu, who said these words.

Rooted in the cold snow, he shivered and stretched his body as best he could, letting the warm sunshine shine all over his body, but he still couldn't get rid of the cold energy.

Chunyu has only just opened his mind, and he has experienced the scorching heat and cold winter without being able to protect himself.

He forgot how long he had been here, only remembered that when he opened his eyes, he was the only plum blossom in the whole garden.The heat of summer burned the body, the soil was short of water and cracked, and no one came to water and loosen the soil.He couldn't change form, couldn't get out of the plum body, he just prayed for nectar from the sky every day to give him a way to survive.It was hard to survive the scorching heat, and within a few days of good days, the severe winter came quietly.

No one took good care of him, Chunyu suffered frostbite, and it seemed that he couldn't even wait for his own flowering period.

He couldn't help being wronged in his heart, he was obviously a monster, but he couldn't even save his own life, and he didn't know why God wanted him to open his mind and suffer all this.

The winter night in Kongsang was very windy, and the whistling wind made Chunyu's whole body ache.He gently shook the pressed snow on the branches, but was disappointed to find that he did not grow a flower bud, and the bare ones were not beautiful at all.

【Hey, I must be malnourished...】

Chunyu felt sorry for herself, and she was still sad, so she didn't hear the creaking sound of stepping on the snow.When someone grabbed Mei's body, he was so frightened that he almost passed out.

"Li Quan, when did a plum grow here?"

The rough palm slowly slid across Mei's body, the strength of the hand was not very heavy, and the delicate caress made Chunyu feel a little itchy.He tensed his body and remained motionless, feeling the hands touching his branch again and stroking it lightly.

"Back to the general, I... I don't know either." Li Quan replied in a muffled tone, with a hint of embarrassment in his tone.He is Jiang Qing's deputy, a Zhonglang general, not in charge of logistics in the army.When Jiang Qing asked him like this, he suddenly didn't know how to answer, and the atmosphere turned cold instantly.

The snow fell rustlingly, and the garden was very silent.Jiang Qing didn't speak, Li Quan stayed aside and didn't dare to say anything.You must know that the general's temperament is unpredictable and moody, not to mention that others are in awe, even his right-hand man is also very afraid.

In the current situation, Li Quan did not dare to speculate on Jiang Qing's thoughts.While silently reducing his sense of existence, he kept complaining in his heart, the general was annoyed because he was afraid that the magistrate would offend him.

"That's it..." The unintentionally protracted ending made Li Quan break out in cold sweat, but fortunately Jiang Qing just pursed his lips and didn't say anything else.

Li Quan saw that his face was normal and there was nothing wrong, so he knew that he had escaped, so he put his heart back in his stomach, and raised the lantern in his hand a little higher, so that he could see more clearly.

The candlelight flickered, Chunyu felt the faint warmth, turned around secretly, and saw a pair of narrow and long eyes, and a red mole under the corner of the eye.

Those eyes are beautiful, covered with a layer of soft light, with white snow inside, extremely bright.

Chun Yu felt itchy and wanted to touch his red mole.He rarely sees people, and he doesn't understand that such behavior is disrespectful, but it's a pity that before he stretched out his hand, he saw the other party's thin lips suddenly pursed, and a trace of fear flashed in his eyes.Look again, there is no soft light in the eyes, the thin face, the high nose, set off very gloomy.

Chun Yu suddenly stood upright, completely forgetting what she was going to do when she turned around.

"Li Quan, why doesn't this plum blossom have buds?"

Half of Jiang Qing's face was reflected by the fire, the gloom just now seemed to have never appeared before, he carefully inspected the branches, it seemed that he was determined to find one or two flower buds before giving up.

Li Quan leaned over to take a look, and saw that the whole plum tree had no leaves or buds, only the slender branches covered with a thin layer of snow.

He thought about it for a while, and felt that this plant was not quite like a winter plum, "General, this is probably a spring plum." The implication is that the flower buds and buds will not grow until spring.

Jiang Qing nodded when he heard this, walked around the plum tree, and then bent down to look carefully, and found that the underside of the plum has decayed, the brown bark is mixed with strands of black silk, and the roots are probably more than half rotten .

"Ask two people to come over and transplant this plum to me. If you stay in this garden, you will definitely be frozen to death." Jiang Qing put his hands behind his back, ignored Li Quan's strange expression, and left after giving the order.

This order came strangely, Li Quan couldn't figure it out at all, standing alone in front of the plum tree, he could only stare at Chun Yu.

"General!"

[He actually wanted to take me home! 】

Li Quan wiped his face, not knowing what to say.He has been with the general for so many years, but he still can't figure out the general's mind.Holding the lantern, Li Quan took a look around and made sure that there was only one plum tree left in the whole garden, so he walked towards the door.

After walking a few steps, he turned back as if thinking of something, hung the lantern on the tree, and then strode out again.

Chun Yu has teary eyes, he is really a good person!Know I'm cold, leave the lantern for me!So happy!

He can't change form, and he can feel anything only when he is close to his body.Li Quan left this lantern, which really benefited him.

Chunyu stretched out his hand from Mei's body, made the spirit body tall and long, wrapped around Mei's body and hugged the lantern, drowsy.

The cold wind was very strong at night, but at this time he felt very warm and could sleep peacefully.

Yawning, Chun Yu touched his nose, put his face on the outside of the lantern, and gradually fell asleep.

After about a stick of incense, Li Quan came back with someone.A group of people held shovels in their hands and started working under the plum tree without saying a word.

Chun Yu slept deeply, and the rustling voices in his ears did not wake him up.

A group of people shoveled away the snow first, and then carefully dug up the soil at the root of the tree with a small shovel.The roots of the tree had rotted a lot, even though the gardener was very distressed, he could only cut off those rotten roots, and then lifted the whole plum blossom out.

Those rotten roots are already dead, so Chun Yu doesn't feel any pain.He only thought of himself as a little doll in the world, sleeping in a cradle, rocking and rocking very comfortably.

The surroundings became warmer and Chunyu slept more peacefully.When the sky was hazy and the fish belly turned white, he rubbed his eyes and rolled onto the branch.

[Eh, there is no Xuexue? 】

Only then did he find it strange, lying on the branch and trying to open his eyes, what he saw was a circle of white linen, and five warm charcoal pots around the body, with scarlet sparks flickering inside.

Chun Yu climbed up and sat on the branch, biting his fingers, thinking, so that person really brought him home?

Several voices came from far to near outside the linen cloth, Chun Yu hurriedly climbed to the highest branch and pricked up his ears.

"General, this plum blossom has been planted according to your instructions, and the gardener in the mansion has also ordered it, and will try its best to save it."

"Very good, you tell me to go on, those who went yesterday will reward each one with one tael of silver."

"Thank you, General."

After the voice finished speaking, Chun Yu heard a series of heavy footsteps gradually drifting away, and not long after, the linen curtain next to her was lifted.

[It's really that person. 】

Chun Yu sat on the tip of a branch, and looked at Jiang Qing timidly.Jiang Qing didn't realize it, and walked slowly to the tree, touched the tree body, and felt relieved after feeling warm.

"Will you bloom next spring?" Jiang Qing said softly, with a very serious expression, "Your flowers must be very beautiful. Anyway, if you still have a little strength to survive this winter, then please survive. "

Of course Chun Yu wanted to live.

Although he is a small monster with low magic skills, he almost can't even survive this winter, but he doesn't want to die, he still wants to practice transformation and see the world.

"When I saw you yesterday, you were left alone in that garden, with no one to save you or take care of you." Jiang Qing sighed, his face was full of loneliness, sadness, and unconcealable nostalgia.

Chun Yu stared at his face, he was ignorant of human emotions and didn't understand at all, but this didn't make him discouraged.He only knew that Jiang Qing saved him, so he owed him a favor.

Only by cultivating hard can he be able to repay his kindness.

Chun Yu clenched her fists, made up her mind, entered into the plum body, and began to meditate diligently.

From winter to spring, its branches sprout flower buds and grow flower buds. The color of the flowers is light red like rouge, and the fragrance of the flowers is as elegant as agarwood.

Jiang Qing came to see the plum from time to time, seeing that it was growing well, he finally felt relieved.After Kongsang's busy spring is over, he enters the camp to train soldiers, and rarely returns home.

Chun Yu didn't know everything outside, he spent all his time on cultivation.The life in the general's mansion is very good, he doesn't need to worry about his own body anymore, so he no longer has a plum body, just waits for the transformation.

The flowering period of twenty days passed quickly, and his branches were covered with green leaves and sprouts.Chun Yu touched the body, the spirit body was no longer transparent, and faintly formed a trace of substance. Although it still couldn't completely leave the plum body, it was much better than before.

In a short time, he should be able to transform into a plum.

However, Chun Yu had no idea what to do after the transformation.

Chun Yu was thinking hard while practicing.He only developed spiritual wisdom, but no great wisdom. If he wants to repay his kindness, he should learn from others to study and learn.

Chunyu suddenly felt that he had found the key to the problem. If he knew everything, wouldn't it be easy to repay his kindness?Whatever Jiang Qing wants to know, he can tell him by himself, no matter how you look at it, it can come in handy.

Chunyu was very happy, that night, he didn't practice or sleep, and instead persuaded his neighbor Kingfisher to help him fetch the book from the bookstore, he wanted to seek great wisdom.

Kingfisher ignored him at all, nestled in a big tree and fell asleep.

Chun Yu had no other choice, and decided to shelve this idea first, and then think of another way after transforming into form.
