This is what a fairy should be like

Just before dawn the next day.

"Oh oh oh~~~~"

A big rooster was crowing in the valley, and Tao Yuanming also woke up to the crowing of the rooster.

He was so drunk last night that he went to bed early. Even though the rooster had just crowed and the sky was very dark, Tao Yuanming felt that he had a very comfortable sleep.

Having lived in the valley for these six or seven days, Tao Yuanming probably understood that the weather was still cold in early spring and life in the valley was comfortable, so people would not get up too early and most of them would be asleep at the moment.

Tao Yuanming lay on the bed wrapped in quilt and breathed a sigh of relief.

"Hoo..."

What a great place!

Through the window, you can see that the outside has turned slightly white, it should be that the sun is about to rise, and you can see clearly inside the house.

Tao Yuanming turned sideways and saw that there were pen, ink, paper and inkstone on the table over there.

Oh yes, this should be the child’s dormitory!

There are three bedrooms in Mr. Mu's house, and one guest room has always been occupied by Liu Hongyu and Tao Yuanming staying overnight. Naturally, it was his grandson's room for him to sleep in, while the children squeezed in with their grandfather.

Tao Yuanming wanted to squint for a while, but thinking of the past few days, he hesitated and sat up immediately.

The people in the valley are warm and hospitable. Every time I want to leave, I am always invited with such kindness that I can't refuse. I stay for meal after meal, day after day...

No more, let’s go today. The journey is long, so we need to get up early!

I remember that when we came here, the boat took us with the current for most of the day. When we went back, we had to go against the current, so it would take even longer.

With this in mind, Tao Yuanming dressed neatly in the dark, then opened the door to say goodbye to Mr. Mu.

Just as soon as he went out, Tao Yuanming found that the courtyard was very quiet, or the entire valley was very quiet, as if everything was still sleeping except him.

Tao Yuanming stood at the door for a while, giving up the idea of ​​waking others, then returned to the house and walked to the table.

The desk is equipped with all the four treasures of the study. It is a child's room, but such good paper is used on the desk. The beauty of life in the valley is evident!

It's so leisurely in the valley, and I'm still sleeping three poles high in the sun. I can't disturb you, and I can't leave without saying goodbye, so I'll leave you a letter!

As his thoughts flowed, Tao Yuanming began to sharpen his ink, then dipped his pen in the ink and left a book.

In fact, it wasn't just the conflict between fear of waking others and Lu Yuan's need to get up early.

Tao Yuanming knew himself very well. This valley was so peaceful and peaceful, everyone was kind, and there were fine wines and delicious food. He would not be able to withstand the temptation of others holding good wines.

I left the book alone, I believe Mr. Tingwen and Mr. Zian can understand.

"Dear elders and friends, I have learned from you: The freedom in the valley is enviable. I lingered for several days, enjoying its hospitality. I was drunk and fell asleep, amazed, and woke up with joy. It was not a dream. I lingered and forgot to return... This place is the bell of creation. , a place where ancient customs do not fall, interacting with people is like the morning breeze on a warm day, We are together for a short period of time, and our relationship is deep, and we regret meeting each other late, but we finally part ways... I know myself to be beautiful and soft, and I am afraid that I will be in love and find it difficult to return. If it goes on for a long time, my ambition will be slack, and I am afraid of disturbing the tranquility of others and disturbing the order of the pre-Qin Dynasty. , then left on his own. I hope you will forgive Yuan Ming for leaving without saying goodbye..."

Tao Yuanming sighed while writing, and couldn't help but smile when he put down the pen.

After a while, Tao Yuanming quietly walked out of the house. Seeing the morning glow looming on the horizon, he tightened his clothes, picked up some things given by the people in the valley, and left as the courtyard door opened and closed lightly without disturbing others.

People in the Hidden Immortal Valley really don't have the habit of getting up too early. Even if they did before, in the comfort of this valley, there is no need to get up and freeze in early spring.

As Tao Yuanming walked on the road in the valley, he could only occasionally see a few early risers from far and near.

After hesitating several times on the way, Tao Yuanming still didn't say hello to anyone, for fear of disturbing the clear dreams of the people in the valley.

When we returned to the narrow gorge where we entered the valley, the sky became a little brighter again, and the waning stars and the waning moon had all disappeared under the rays of the rising sun.

Tao Yuanming turned around, preparing to take another look at the Hidden Immortal Valley, but was startled by a big head.

"Ouch..."

After seeing the person behind him clearly, Tao Yuanming's eyes suddenly widened.

"Mr. Liu? You...when did you follow me?"

Liu Hongyu grinned.

"Mr. Yuan Liang, I followed you when you went out. I know you must have discovered me long ago!"

During this period, Liu Hongyu tried every means, explicitly or implicitly, to tell Tao Yuanming about his identity as a destined person, but the latter always seemed unaware.

Because of his impulsive behavior in the previous conversation with Zhuang Lin, Liu Hongyu, after self-reflection, at least understood one truth: Don't rush into anything!

And Liu Hongyu also understands that this is called a test!

But as long as he follows his master, he will have time to recruit disciples and teach the Dharma!

Liu Hongyu has already determined that Tao Yuanming is his hidden immortal master. After all, this reminder from God couldn't be more obvious!

At this moment, Tao Yuanming smiled and shook his head, bowing to Liu Hongyu.

"In that case, it is convenient for Tao to say goodbye to Mr. Liu here. I also hope that you can say hello to the people in the valley on my behalf. I will definitely visit again if we have the opportunity one day!"

Tao Yuanming thought Liu Hongyu was here to say goodbye, but obviously the latter didn't think so.

"Mr. Yuan Liang, I am here to go with you. You have forgotten that I am also from outside. I always have to go out!"

"Oh, yes, yes, Tao almost forgot!"

Liu Hongyu was extremely attentive to Tao Yuanming during this period. How could the latter not understand the other party's situation? He just didn't think of it for a while.

"I came here by coincidence. Now that I am in good health, I don't want to disturb the purity of the valley. I just happened to leave with Mr. Yuan Liang! If you don't mind, I can follow you and take care of you!"

"Hey, this doesn't make sense..."

Tao Yuanming, who was still slapping his head in front of him, waved his hands repeatedly, and Liu Hongyu immediately said:

"Then when I fail to find my family, how about I stay with you for the time being?"

Tao Yuanming frowned slightly, looked at the Hidden Immortal Valley, and then looked at Liu Hongyu who looked sincere.

Recalling the situation of Mr. Liu, I heard that he was washed into the valley by the water and suffered from amnesia, forgetting his family's hometown. As for this kind of disease, sometimes it is better to take the initiative to search for it.

During this period, Mr. Liu took such good care of me, and he must have had the idea of ​​asking me to take him to find relatives from the beginning. After all, no one in the valley wanted to go out...

That’s it!

Tao Yuanming finally nodded.

"Okay, then you leave with me. By the way, have you ever said goodbye to the people in the valley?"

Liu Hongyu showed a bright smile. Seeking immortality is not easy. When a master accepts a disciple, it will definitely test his character and observe secretly. Anyway, as long as I stay by his side shamelessly, sooner or later he will understand that I am the destined one!

"Don't worry, I left a letter!"

Tao Yuanming smiled and nodded.

"In that case, let's go!"

While talking, the two walked together, and after taking a few last glances at the scenery in the valley, they left together along the narrow gorge.

We walked out of the gorge a while ago, and outside was the fruit forest area of ​​the outer valley. This area was full of peach trees, and now the peach blossoms were in full bloom.

The two of them walked forward while admiring the beautiful scenery. In the morning light, the peach blossoms beside them fell with the wind, which made it feel like a dream.

Within a moment, the small boat tied to a tree by the river by Tao Yuanming was discovered.

The two boarded the boat and left along the waterway, but found that the fog became thicker as they went forward.

In order to prevent getting lost or not finding this place in the future, Tao Yuanming would stop the boat every once in a while, either by the waterside or going ashore to look for trees, and make some marks with Liu Hongyu.

Memories from his past school days came to Liu Hongyu's mind, and he knew that the "Wuling Fisherman" in "Peach Blossom Spring" did have such a description of marking.

But why couldn't I find Taoyuan later?

Does the immortal master also need to mark it?

Or is it purely testing me in my mortal state?

Despite this doubt, the boat continued farther and farther...

------------------

At dawn, Mr. Mu stood up carefully, tucked his grandson into a quilt, and then got dressed and prepared to make breakfast.

Smoke is rising from the kitchen stove, and the rice porridge is almost cooked.

At this time, Mu Hongwen had already put on his clothes and walked out, shouting to the kitchen.

"Grandpa~~~"

"Hey! Xiaowen, breakfast will be ready soon. Go and see if Mr. Yuan Liang is awake!"

According to the experience of the previous few days, Tao Guild got up later. After all, he drank a lot, but he must have woken up.

"good!"

The child responded, and then immediately ran to the house where Tao Yuanming lived before, putting his ear against the door to listen, but could not hear any movement.

"Still sleeping?"

Xiao Wen muttered, then stumbled as he leaned forward, because the door had been pushed open by the figure he was leaning against.

In a slight panic, Xiaowen was about to close the door, but suddenly found that the quilt on the bed was lifted. Looking at the room, it seemed that there was no one!

"Grandpa - Mr. Yuan Liang is not in bed -"

"ah?"

Mr. Mu didn't even care about the kitchen and walked over in a hurry.

After a while, after looking around the house, the grandfather and grandson found the book on the desk and read it. Mr. Mu couldn't help but sigh.

"Alas, Mr. Yuan Liang has left. I wanted to keep him for a while longer..."

However, Tao Gong would have to leave sooner or later. After sighing, Mr. Mu patted his grandson on the back.

"Go and ask Mr. Liu to get up and have breakfast."

"Oh~"

Xiaowen responded and ran out to call Liu Hongyu.

Mr. Mu was still looking at Tao Yuanming's letter again and again, wondering how to keep this letter for himself. This is Tao Yuanming's calligraphy!

At this moment, Xiaowen's shout came again.

"Grandpa—Mr. Liu is not in bed either—"

"oh......"

Mr. Mu was still admiring Tao Yuanming's calligraphy. He responded casually, then suddenly paused, and then rushed out the door!

------------------

After a long time, at the school, Zhuang Lin looked at a woman who came to report with astonishment.

"What!? Mr. Liu is missing? And he probably left the valley with Mr. Yuan Liang?"

The woman's face was also full of anxiety.

"Yes, I left a letter. Master Zhuang, please go and have a look!"

"Walk!"

Zhuang Lin didn't even bother to wash his face and rushed out of his house, running all the way to Mr. Mu's home.

And in the entire Hidden Immortal Valley, there were more than one or two people running towards the Mu family at this moment.

After a while, dozens of people were crowded into the Mu family courtyard, and then they almost stayed for a moment. Dozens of people, including Zhuang Lin, rushed to the corner of the gorge in the valley together.

Zhuang Lin ran the fastest, but when he reached the mouth of the mountain gorge, he stopped immediately.

When Zhuang Lin stopped, everyone else also stopped subconsciously, and some even asked eagerly.

"Master Zhuang, why don't you chase them?" "Yes, why did you stop?"

Zhuang Lin was standing at the front at this moment, holding two pieces of paper in his hands. He looked back at everyone, and then looked down at the papers in his hands.

One was Tao Yuanming's letter, which was full of words.

One was Liu Hongyu's letter, which had only a few words: "I went with Yuan Liang, don't worry."

Three of the nine words were written incorrectly, and there were also some simplified characters.

This letter was written as if Mr. Liu was going to die with Tao Yuanming...

"According to Aunt Liu and the others, Mr. Yuan Liang and Mr. Liu should have left at dawn. Now it's almost an hour, and they have already left..."

"Then we should chase them!"

Zhuang Lin's face was very ugly. The more he was like this, the more anxious others were, but they didn't dare to act rashly.

"What's wrong, Master Zhuang?"

Zhuang Lin took another look at Tao Yuanming's letter.

"Remember what we talked about last night?"

"Oh, it's already this late, Master, why are you..."

Zhuang Lin immediately raised his hand to stop the man from talking, and he suddenly pointed at the mouth of the mountain gorge and said.

"'The Wuling Fisherman' did come in from here, and the Peach Blossom Spring is a true record, but since the Wuling Fisherman, no one has found the Peach Blossom Spring! Mr. Yuan Liang's departure this time means he has returned to ancient times..."

After hearing what Zhuang Lin said, some people who reacted quickly came to their senses, and Zhuang Lin continued to talk, and his brain was also working rapidly at this time.

"If we chase them out, there will be three results!"

"First! The space-time channel has been closed, and we can't find them if we chase them out. Mr. Liu really fulfilled his wish and went to ancient times with Mr. Yuan Liang!"

"Second! We found them if we chased them out, but...but we can't come back..."

Some people have turned pale.

"Third! This is also the best situation. We chased them out and found them. The time and space road still existed for a while. We returned to the valley before it was closed..."

The scene was terribly silent, and Zhuang Lin took a few deep breaths and looked at everyone and spoke again.

"If Mr. Liu disappears, Mr. Liu will never let us go!"

A person like Liu Shihao can be said to have all the means. He values ​​his son so much. No one can bear the consequences of Liu Hongyu's disappearance. Who dares to bet on his magnanimity?

"Time waits for no one. I'm not sure if I can do it alone. Have you thought about it? Who wants to go with me?"

Zhuang Lin's forehead was sweating, and his eyes were fixed on the group of people in front of him. For both public and private reasons, Liu Hongyu must be found, and he must be tied up if necessary!

The crowd was silent for only a few seconds before someone responded.

"I'll go with you. The person was lost in my house. I must go. The situation was complicated in ancient times, and my medical skills can also help!"

This was Mr. Mu, and there were other people on the side who responded.

"I'll go. I'm still single, so I'm not afraid!" "And me. I know how to hunt and use bows and arrows, so I can help!"

"I've been practicing martial arts since I was a child. Let's go together!"

......

Zhuang Lin tried to stay calm and finally made the decision.

"Okay, get ready and go!"
