Spring and Autumn Confucian Heroes

Chapter 220 Taolin Old Man
Ning Qingwu put her suspicious gaze on Huan Chang.

Huan Chang, on the other hand, was smiling, quietly watching Ning Qingwu, without speaking.

After looking at it for a long time, Ning Qingwu said apologetically, "I'm sorry, I really have no impression of this young man."

Cheng Tianze and Huan Chang couldn't help laughing when they heard the words.

"I haven't seen you for a year, and Senior Sister Ning doesn't recognize me anymore. It really makes me feel chilling."

Hearing Huan Chang's voice, Ning Qingwu's small mouth grew, and she said incredulously: "You are Huan Chang Huan Shaoxia?"

"It's down."

The suspicion in Ning Qingwu's eyes became stronger.

She stared at Huan Chang for a long time before sighing: "What a subtle disguise technique, if Ah Chang hadn't spoken, I really wouldn't have recognized him!"

No wonder Ning Qingwu is like this.

She was not very familiar with Huan Chang, and she hadn't seen him for a year, so it was a bit strange to recognize Huan Chang's identity so easily.

Huan Chang smiled bitterly and said, "I did this to avoid some troubles."

Cheng Tianze said with a smile: "This is the truth. After the Battle of Mingjian Villa, Shujian Pavilion became famous all over the world, and Ah Chang is naturally very popular."

The three chatted and laughed for a long time, Ning Qingwu suddenly said: "Senior brother, Ah Chang, I am going to pick peaches in Taoyuan, do you want to go together?"

Cheng Tianze's eyes lit up when he heard the words.

"In March in Yangchun, I once went to Taoyuan, where the peach blossoms are so gorgeous and beautiful."

"Now is the season for eating peaches. Since there are so many peach blossoms in spring, it is expected that there are a lot of peaches now."

Ning Qingwu nodded heavily, her eyes narrowed into a crescent shape, looking very happy.

When Huan often heard the two mention peaches, he felt thirsty and wanted to pick some to quench his thirst.

But he looked behind him, still did not see Xiao Hei, he couldn't help but said worriedly: "Let's go to Taoyuan, if Xiao Hei comes and can't find me, what should we do?"

Cheng Tianze said with a smile: "Ah Chang, there is no need to worry. After Xiao Hei enters Liangshan, someone will naturally put him in place."

After finishing speaking, Cheng Tianze grabbed Huan Chang's arm and rushed towards Taoyuan.

The three went to Taoyuan hand in hand, Cheng Tianze introduced the scenery to Huan Chang along the way, and Huan Chang couldn't help but be fascinated by it.

Liangshan, an inner lake island, is really big.

When Huan Chang was on his way to Taoyuan, he saw not only lush green fields, but also various fruit trees.

Even, there are still many grasslands left on the island, where some people graze cattle and sheep.

The three of them didn't speed up deliberately, and it took half an hour to reach Taoyuan.

Before entering the peach orchard, Huanchang saw the endless peach trees, which were full of red and white peaches.

The peach orchard here is specially taken care of. The peach trees are neither tall nor short, and all the peaches grow very beautifully.

Inside the Taoyuan, there is a meandering brook flowing through, the stream is crystal clear.

"This peach is so big."

Ning Qingwu walked into the peach forest first, and suddenly saw a very big peach, and couldn't help showing joy.

She didn't care about other things, she walked towards that peach like a butterfly.

Cheng Tianze chuckled a few times, and said, "Ah Chang, let's go in and pick peaches too, the peaches are more delicious when you pick them and eat them now."

Seeing those plump and red peaches, Huan Chang was already hungry and thirsty, and when he heard Cheng Tianze's words, he naturally nodded in agreement.

In this way, the three of them interspersed among the peach groves, picked a lot of peaches, and took them to the stream to wash and eat.

"It's so sweet."

Huan Chang took a hard bite of the flesh and felt the wonderful sensation from his taste buds, Huan Chang couldn't help admiring.

"You little guys, when you come to Taoyuan to pick peaches, you don't even say hello to my old man."

Just as the three of them were chatting and laughing and eating peaches, they suddenly heard an old voice.

They hurriedly turned their heads to look, only to find that an old man with white beard and hair came tremblingly with big scissors.

"Ah, grandpa."

After seeing the old man, Ning Qingwu hurriedly stood up with an embarrassed expression on her face.

Cheng Tianze also got up, and said apologetically: "We just entered the Taoyuan, and we didn't see the old man. Seeing that the peaches are so attractive, we couldn't help but pick a few."

When Huan Chang saw the performance of the two, he also got up in a hurry.

He sensed it carefully and knew that this old man didn't know any martial arts at all.

It's just that he was very puzzled, why didn't the three of them hear the footsteps when the old man approached just now.

"Could it be that you just ate peaches and ate too much?"

The old man smiled and waved his hands, and said: "It's nothing serious, I'm just too bored, and I saw the three of you eating peaches here, so I wanted to come over and talk to you."

The old man had a kind smile on his wrinkled face.

His gentle eyes swept over Cheng Tianze and Ning Qingwu, and finally landed on Huan Chang.

"This little guy, why do you feel so unfamiliar?"

The old man walked up to Huan Chang and sat on the grass by the stream.

He picked up a big, red peach, took a bite, and asked with some doubts.

Cheng Tianze hurriedly replied: "Ah Chang is not a disciple of Sun Moon Lake. This is the first time I have come to Taoyuan. The old man has never seen it before, so I feel unfamiliar."

The old man tilted his head, looked at Huan Chang carefully, and then nodded.

"Sit down and talk to my old man."

The old man put the scissors on the ground, beckoned to the three of them, and gently shook the cattail fan in his hand.

The three of them did not dare to neglect, and sat beside the old man.

After Cheng Tianze sat down, he hurriedly said to Huan Chang: "Grandpa is the one who guards this peach grove. Although he is old, his body is extremely healthy."

"The pruning of each peach tree is done by the old man himself. The disciples in our sect also respect the old man very much."

Huan Chang hurriedly said, "I've seen the old man in Xia Huan Chang."

The old man was very happy to see Huan Chang salute him, and said, "Young people are really polite."

At the beginning, because of the old man's joining, the chat atmosphere became obviously a little colder.

But as time passed, Huan Chang found that the old man was very gentle and talkative, so he slowly let go.

"Grandpa, you are so old, don't you find it difficult to look after this peach forest alone?"

Hearing Huan Chang's inquiry, the old man sighed: "Then what can I do, I can't live without this peach forest all my life."

Huan Chang seemed to understand what the old man said.

But at this time, after hesitating for a long time, Cheng Tianze asked a very sensitive matter.

"I once saw in the ancient scrolls of the sect that peach blossoms bloomed here overnight 300 years ago."

"However, not long after, a bolt of lightning fell from the sky, splitting countless peach blossoms to pieces."

"Did the old man know what happened back then?"

When Ning Qingwu heard this, her face changed slightly, and she gently tugged at Cheng Tianze's sleeve.
