Spring River Flower Moon Night: Set of 2 Volumes

Chapter 16
The prince came to see her working hard and wanted to stop her, "Don't think about it, let's go back and find a way."

But Shen Xing shook off his hand, "I almost... I almost knew where that thing was hidden."

She stumbled and continued to walk deep into the peach forest, turned a few more turns, bypassed several abandoned rockeries, and stopped beside a peach tree.

"I see her like that, taking something may not be a good thing, why not let her take it?" Wang Zijin looked at her slender figure, very worried.

"Let her take it. What belongs to me will eventually be found."

Wang Zijin was startled, and quickly looked at the calm Feixiao, "Could it be that you already know what it is?"

"It's probably not far from ten..." Feixiao's beautiful eyes were bright, calm, as if she had seen through the veins of fate.

"What is that? Can you tell me?" But Wang Zijin was frightened by this still water-like gaze, and couldn't help asking.

Fei Xiao didn't answer, she smiled and pointed forward, "Shen Xing is waving to us, hurry over and have a look."

I saw Shen Xing standing about a few feet away from them, with long hair shawls, face like a jade plate, eyes like stars, and a layer of moonlight on the cherry skirt, so bright that people couldn't bear to look directly at it.

Wang Zijin looked at her, his eyes became moist, and he faintly felt that she was like a fairy who could ride a crane to the west, and she would leave him at some point.

The two walked over and saw a dense and strong peach tree standing among the yellowed flowers and trees. The branches and leaves of the peach tree were very dense, and even the grass under the roots was lush.

It was late autumn at this time, but the tree showed no sign of withering or falling.

"I remembered." Shen Xing pointed at the peach tree and said, "What I'm looking for is right here."

Wang Zijin looked up at the peach tree. The trunk was about as thick as a girl's waist, and the branches and leaves stretched out to a distance of two feet. He couldn't help worrying: "How can I take such a big tree away?"

"It's not this tree." Shen Xing didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "That thing was buried under the tree."

"Ah, this is easy to handle." Wang Zijin picked up a tile and bent down to dig the soil.

He wanted to ask Fei Xiao to help, but saw him cover his nose with a fan and dodged far away, obviously he didn't like to do such strenuous work.

"Prince Wang, I'll help you." Shen Xing also found a wooden plank to help the prince in.

"Put it down quickly, don't hurt your hand."

Shen Xing was very moved when he heard this, "Young Master Wang, you are so kind to me, after we get this thing, let's go home together."

Looking at her pretty face covered in mud, Wang Zijin felt a warm current in his heart, maybe it would be a good thing to live happily with Shen Xing for a lifetime like this.

As long as she gets what she wants, she can stay away from this bustling world and live together.

His subordinates hastened to speed up their movements, but after digging for a long time, there was still nothing under the soil.

"Hey, are you really sure there is something down here?" Wang Zijin looked at the deep pit under his feet and wondered.

But Shen Xing was trembling with fright, his face was pale, "It's coming soon! But I'm so scared..."

"What are you afraid of? When I get the things, I will buy you the most beautiful wedding clothes." Seeing her panic, the prince comforted her quickly.

"I have a hunch that if I dig it out, I won't see you..."

"How could it be? Aren't you and I here alive?" In his mind, he thought of Shen Xing's appearance of turning into dry bones, and couldn't help but feel sad, so he hurriedly avoided Shen Xing's gaze and buried his head in digging.

"My lord, you can promise me that I will be the most beautiful bride." Shen Xing smiled back at him.

"What I promised you, why did I break my promise?"

After digging for more than three inches, finally saw a piece of rag, Wang Zijin couldn't help being happy, and shouted: "Found it!"

I saw the soil being dug up bit by bit, and the outline of the rag was also revealed, and there were sections of gleaming white bones wrapped in it.

Wang Zijin was terrified, his legs went limp, and he sat on the ground, "Is this, isn't this a human corpse?"

Ten

Wang Zijin suddenly felt that his face was wet, and a few drops of water fell on his face, as if it was raining in the sky. When he looked up, he saw Shen Xing standing beside him, staring blankly at the human bones in the deep pit, Already crying into tears.

"Don't cry, don't cry, we dug the wrong thing, this must not be what you are looking for." Wang Zijin quickly comforted her softly.

"No, it's what I'm looking for..." Shen Xing cried even louder, as if he was extremely sad.

"This corpse is what you want to take away?" Wang Zijin was surprised, but his heart was very calm. Since he knew Fei Xiao, he didn't think it was strange to take anything away.

Shen Xing cried bitterly and said: "My lord, I have remembered everything, Shen Xing, Shen Xing can't leave with you..."

"Why? Isn't it just a corpse? Just take it away together."

"Young Master Wang, this, this is Shen Xing's corpse!"

Hearing this, Wang Zijin felt as if he had been hit with a sledgehammer in the chest. What he had to find, what bound Shen Xing, was her own bones? !
I saw Shen Xing raised his head in the moonlight, but that charming face turned into the mediocre face of a young girl.Even if he rubbed shoulders with Wang Zijin thousands of times on the road with such a face, he would not have any impression of it.

"Ah!" He couldn't help but let out an exclamation, because this face surprised him more than the face of the mummy.

"Does the prince think Shen Xing is ugly? Shen Xing has remembered everything, this is my true face."

"I don't mind it, I don't mind it..." Wang Zijin stared blankly at the girl in front of him, so strange yet familiar at the same time, although the brows and eyes were plain, but the eyes looking at him were still full of tenderness that could not be concealed.

"It's a good thing that you can find yourself." Seeing her remembering everything, Fei Xiao walked over slowly, her white clothes seemed to glow in the night.

Seeing Fei Hong, Shen Xing cried again, "Mr. Hu, thank you, I finally know that you are not extraordinary. Without your help, I'm afraid I won't be able to remember my past for many years."

While weeping, she said to the two: "I was originally a maidservant in this peony garden. Because of my lack of appearance, I did some work for servants."

Wang Zijin hurriedly said: "No, you are obviously very beautiful."

"My lord, you really know how to comfort me, but other people are not as kind as you. I was abused to death later, and I was secretly buried under this peach tree..." She wept softly like a cat, " If I had grown better, I wouldn’t have died. I really didn’t want to die at that time. In the season of peach blossoms, everything is so beautiful. I’m only 16 years old. There are so many things in life that are worth nostalgic for. I’m so unwilling, all my souls Leaning on this peach tree, I forgot that I was dead, forgot my true colors, turned into a beautiful woman, and lived for a few more years."

Seeing her crying, the prince hurriedly said, "I knew you were a monster, and I didn't dislike you. Let's go back together."

"My lord, Shen Xing is about to break the appointment. Now that he knows that he is dead, how can he continue to stay in this world?"

When Wang Zijin heard this, he couldn't help crying, knowing that she was bound to leave this time, "Shen Xing, you and I have made an appointment, we want to play games together, stay together and fly together."

Seeing him crying bitterly, Shen Xing also cried very sadly, "I owe you the prince, I will pay it back in the next life. After Chen Xing became a demon, the only happiness he had was getting to know the prince."

She choked with sobs and lowered her head, "Unfortunately, Shen Xing's true colors let you down..."

"No no no." Wang Zijin held Shen Xing's tears, "You are the most beautiful girl I have ever seen."

"Really?" A smile bloomed on Shen Xing's mediocre face, which added a lot of color, "Prince, don't lie to me, call me Xiaoxing, this is my original name."

"Okay, I'll call you Xiaoxing." Wang Zijin choked up.

"The prince promised Xiaoxing, don't forget me..." She pulled Zijin's hand with tears in her eyes.

"No, never, I promise you..." Wang Zijin also went to pull her, but the pull was empty. He felt that there was a peach branch in his hand, and there was a puddle of pus and blood on the ground. The long skirt sat in her arms.

There was still Chen Xing's fragrance on the brocade silk, but the person was no longer there.

"Fei Xiao, Fei Xiao, she's gone and won't be coming back?" Wang Zijin asked Fei Xiao hastily.

Fei Xiao didn't answer, but there was sadness on her face.

"Really? Is it true?" Wang Zijin asked relentlessly.

"How have I ever lied to you?"

The prince heard this, and rushed to Feixiao's side, shaking him with both hands, "Don't you have great abilities? Let her come back to life, she is so pitiful..."

"Zijin, do you really want her to come back to life? Do you want her to live by drinking blood and eating flesh?"

Wang Zijin looked desperately at Fei Xiao in front of him, resolute and indifferent.

"Zi Jin, when it's time to let go, let her go. It's not a bad thing for her to be like this, but she is a living person, and she has to endure all kinds of hardships in this world." Fei Xiao said, pulled out the jade flute around her waist, and sat cross-legged on the ground Playing it, the music is melodious and beautiful, but it is "Moonlight Night on the Spring River".

Wang Zijin sat on the ground as if collapsed, staring blankly at the peach tree in front of him.

Losing the protection of the demonic power, the branches and leaves of the peach tree withered and withered in an instant, falling from the branches one after another. In the flying golden rain, it seemed that there was a girl in red, with eyes like morning stars, snow-skinned and flowery, following the flute. The sound danced lightly.

Seven days later, Wang Zijin bought a cemetery on the outskirts of Tokyo, made a tombstone for Shen Xing, and buried the dead bones.

Before being buried in the ground, he took out a embroidered wedding robe and carefully covered the pile of dry bones, "I promised you that I would buy you the most beautiful wedding dress, how can I break my promise..."

He looked at the white bones in Luo Yi, and couldn't help the tears streaming down again.

"Zijin, don't be sad, the time has come, let's erect a tombstone."

Wang Zijin hurriedly called the craftsmen to carry out the tombstone and stood it in front of the grave. On the hard stone tablet was written: Tomb of Xiaoxing, wife of Prince Jianghuai Jin.

The fonts are so beautiful that they are so beautiful, the prince touched them one by one, and said in his mouth: "Little Xing, little Xing, poor little Xing, but he doesn't even know his last name..."

The two took care of everything and left slowly. Wang Zijin hadn't gone far and suddenly remembered something, and ran back to the grave, took out a peach branch from his sleeve, and carefully inserted it in front of the grave.

It was the branch that Xiaoxing's soul had attached to.

"In this way, you will see peach blossoms every year..." He held back his tears and said in a loud voice, "My prince came in, did he not break his promise?" But seeing Fei Xiao standing tall and dressed in white, waiting for him not far away, Busily wiped away the tears and let him go.

The peach branches behind him stand in the wilderness, the branches and leaves swaying in the wind, as if saying goodbye to the two of them, speechless.

Ask the flowers without saying a word, for whom do they bloom, and for whom do they thank you?

Count the spring as three points, half follow the flowing water, half enter the dust.
