Notes of Lanxi Crossing

Chapter 17 Climbing Trees
Compare Baizhi Baixue again, I have to say, ginger is still old and spicy!

Lan Xi wandered around the meditation room alone, and greeted the monk obediently when she met the monk. The other party usually asked her kindly why she was here alone, and wanted to take her to find her family and attendants.

Of course she can only say that her maid is right behind, don't worry.

After doing this several times, she also felt that it was a bit troublesome, so she could only avoid people as soon as she saw them, so as not to be taken care of again.

She appreciates it, but really doesn't need it right now!
Lanxi looked down from a high place of a temple, but saw a slightly low forest on the side of Hanshan.

She took a closer look, isn't this a peach tree?Then the white ball on the top is a peach!
Lan Xi immediately thought of what to do next!

As soon as he said it, Lanxi immediately followed the path to Taolin.

The path paved with stones twists and turns into the depths, and some unknown flowers and plants are planted on both sides, and there are tall and green pine trees standing upright a few steps away.

The tall pine trees cover this small world, and the sunlight passes through the gaps between its branches and leaves and projects onto the stone road, jumping in front of Lanxi's forehead and feet, and the air is full of the fragrance of grass and trees.

It was July, and it was the time when the sun was scorching hot, but she only felt refreshed and cool when she walked on this breezy tree-lined path.

After walking along the stone road for about 10 minutes, there are peach trees or pine trees on both sides.

Lan Xi jumped for joy: "It's almost here!"

Sure enough, after going back for more than ten steps, the stone road will be interspersed with a peach forest that occupies a large area.

If it is around March now, this peach forest is really full of peach blossoms, isn't this the place that must be passed to talk about love in the novels!

Many peach trees are full of fruits, and the pink and white peaches look plump and lovely under the cover of branches and leaves.

Lan Xi walked around several nearby peach trees, and chose the largest and reddest peach at the top.

She approached the peach tree, gestured at its forked branches a few times, and felt that she might still be able to climb up.

When Lanxi was a child, she was fostered at her grandmother's house in the southern countryside. There were also several peach, plum and chestnut trees planted by her ancestors nearby.

The so-called climbing trees on the mountain and fishing in the river is not just a description, she has really done it with her friends.

Although she rarely exercised when she grew up, and it was tiring to walk a few more steps, let alone climb mountains and trees, but now, standing here is a little doll with unlimited energy. Lost it!

Lan Xi embraced the tree trunk, and moved up bit by bit with his knees between his knees, but unfortunately the effect was minimal.

She simply slid down again, kicking off her embroidered shoes, revealing her small white socks. Lan Xi simply pulled them off as well, stepping on the soft withered leaves on the ground with her bare, white and lovely feet.

She hugged the peach tree again and climbed up. Sure enough, this time with stronger feet, she easily climbed onto the second forked branch.

Lan Xi, who was having a great time climbing the tree, had already forgotten the peach she was looking for, and only wanted to climb higher.

Taking advantage of her small size and light weight, she soon sat on the highest branch.

"Hahaha~"

Lan Xi couldn't help laughing out loud, and casually picked a peach from his hand, wiped the fine hairs on his head with his sleeve, and put it in his mouth.

She chewed, felt the sweet and bitter taste on the surface of her tongue, and couldn't help but spit it out.

"Bah~" Not only is it not too sweet, but also a bit astringent.

She put this peach in her bosom, and reached out to pick a redder one to taste.

Well, this one doesn't have any astringency, but it's not too sweet... Lan Xi turned his attention to another peach.

Do you want to try this again?Would it be a bit of a waste?

In this situation, she felt like she was in the Peach Garden in Journey to the West, and she couldn't help imagining the appearance of a monkey, holding a bunch of peaches in her arms, eating one and throwing one away.

Lanxi was already condescending, and the forest was empty, which made her feel open-minded and cheerful.

It was a rare opportunity for her to relax herself wholeheartedly, so she raised her head and shouted to the sky without any psychological barriers.

Across seven or eight peach trees, Zhan Chen, who was sitting cross-legged under the tree and meditating, was startled by the movement.

He supported Taomu to stand up, tilted his head and looked in that direction suspiciously, and the little hair bag on his head shook accordingly.

Sounds like a childish voice?

He has been sitting here for a while, and he has never heard a servant's voice. How could a child suddenly yell?
Could it be that I got lost!
After hesitating for a while, he still didn't wait to go back to get Xiaoman of the futon, and walked in the direction of the voice just now.

Zhan Chen walked over several luxuriant peach trees, looked around while walking, but did not find any childish figure.

Lan Xi on the tree gnawed on a peach, curiously looking at the little boy who seemed to be looking for something under her feet.

Just in time, Zhan Chen also found the little embroidered shoes and socks thrown in the pile of dead leaves under his feet.

He was wrinkling his eyebrows and thinking about whether the child had suffered any accident, but there was a rustling sound above his head.

Zhan Chen immediately took a few steps back and looked up alertly.

On the tall peach branch, a young girl was stepping on it barefoot, holding several gnawed peaches in her arms.

At this moment, she was still reaching for the peaches on the peach branch above her head with one hand, but she looked at herself distractedly with curiosity.

The alarm was lifted, but he breathed a sigh of relief just now because the girl was in danger.

"Don't move!"

Not caring much, Zhan Chen immediately stopped Lan Xi's dangerous behavior.

Lan Xi paused, realizing that he had frightened the little boy. Although they didn't know each other, he had good intentions after all.

Lan Xi withdrew his hand obediently, supported the trunk and stopped moving, and as expected, he heard the sound of him exhaling in relief.

"Why did you climb up the tree alone, it's too dangerous!"

Zhan Chen raised his small head and shouted at Lanxi, his tone slightly anxious.

"Where's your servant? I'll call to pick you up!"

Lan Xi pursed her lips, not intending to tell him that she sneaked out, so she avoided the topic.

"Don't worry about me, I can come down by myself!"

With that said, Lan Xi glanced at the dissatisfied peaches in his arms, and shouted at Zhan Chen again.

"Kid, stay away, I'm going to throw peaches down!"

Zhan Chen looked in surprise, but saw that she rolled the peach in her arms against the tree trunk, then hugged the tree trunk tightly with her back facing him, and stretched out a small foot to step on a branch underneath, as if to climb down.

Zhan Chen was terrified by this scene.

"Stop it—"

Lan Xi looked helplessly at the little friend whose face turned pale from fright, and out of love for the little cute baby, she stopped in place as she said.
