Chapter 40 Nightmare Beast Dream (3)

Xu Yang spent some money to rent a piece of land in Xishan and built a small winemaking workshop. He made his own wine according to the brewing method and recipe of the family wine "Shi Ba Die" and sent the wine to the shops and restaurants in the town for sale.

After a few months, "Shi Ba Die" became popular all over the town. Xu Yang made some money. In order to see Xiao Lin'er often, Xu Yang bought a small house in the west of the town and lived there.

The house is not big, and there is a small courtyard in front.

In the small courtyard of Xu Yang's house.

"Brother Xu Xiaoxian, I see that your yard is bare, why don't I help you plant some flowers and plants."

"That's good, I'll go to the flower and plant shop in the town to pick some you like, and we'll plant them together."

"I prefer the wild flowers in Xishan, which are ordinary and natural beauty."

"That's good, we'll go to Xishan to transplant some tomorrow."

The next day, the two pushed a cart and transplanted many unknown wild flowers from Xishan.

After working for half a day, the two began to transplant wild flowers in Xu Yang's yard.

Looking at the yellow, red, purple and other unknown wild flowers in the yard, Xiao Lin'er said: "Now the yard looks much better."

"It's all Xiao Lin'er's work. Look, your hands are all dirty."

Hearing Xu Yang's words, Xiao Lin'er looked at her palms, and they were indeed covered with a lot of mud.

Xiao Lin'er stretched out her muddy fingers and gently touched Xu Yang's forehead, and a mud handprint was painted on Xu Yang's forehead.

"It looks like Brother Xu Xiaoxian is a land fairy."

"I think Lin'er looks like a little flower fairy."

"Haha, haha." The laughter of the two echoed in the yard.

...

Time flies, summer goes and autumn comes.

For several days in a row, Xu Yang didn't see Xiao Lin'er go out. After asking around, he heard that Xiao Lin'er had invited a doctor. Xu Yang learned from the doctor that Xiao Lin'er was sick and recuperating at home.

It was late at night, and I couldn't sleep.

Not knowing how Xiao Lin'er was doing, Xu Yang paced back and forth alone in the courtyard.

Looking at the flowers he and Lin'er had planted together, which had gradually withered in the autumn wind, Xu Yang felt an inexplicable sadness in his heart.

"Double Red Beans. Autumn Thoughts": The autumn is cool, the moonlight is cold, and the shadows in front of the flowers under the moon are hurt. I look down and can't see the fragrance. The night is still young, and I fall asleep. In my dream, the beautiful woman is wearing white jade makeup. Looking back, she smiles often.

Ten days have passed, and Xiao Lin'er still hasn't gone out. Xu Yang couldn't bear it, and it was inconvenient to visit Xiao Lin'er at home, so he found a doctor who treated Xiao Lin'er.

In the clinic in the town.

The doctor who treated Xiao Lin'er said, "Miss Lin'er was originally infected with a little cold. However, her physique is special. After taking the medicine, her body resisted the medicine and she has been having a fever."

When Xu Yang heard this, he was even more worried about Xiao Lin'er's condition and asked hurriedly, "Is there any good way to treat Xiao Lin'er?"

"There is a good way. Just take the best snow lotus from the extremely cold land to suppress the heat in her body. But there is no precious medicinal material like the best snow lotus in the town. Only ordinary snow lotus can temporarily relieve Xiao Lin'er's condition."

"Where is the best snow lotus?" Xu Yang asked anxiously.

"The best snow lotus grows on Bingfeng Mountain, 500 miles away from the town."

"Please give me a rough map. I want to pick snow lotus on Bingfeng Mountain."

...

A month later, the cold winter has arrived.

A large river running from north to south has frozen. On the frozen river, a young man wearing a straw raincoat is walking alone. It is Xu Yang. At this time, Xu Yang's exposed eyelashes and hair were dyed white by the snow.

In the distance, a towering snow-colored mountain peak disappeared into the clouds.

"The front is Bingfeng Mountain. I have been out for more than a month. I wonder how Xiao Lin'er is doing." Xu Yang thought in his heart and looked back at the way he came.

On the frozen river, only a long string of footprints was left. In the distance, a ridge covered with ice and snow outlined smooth and soft lines. Xu Yang seemed to see it, that was Lin'er's face.

"Double Red Beans. Winter Thoughts": Snow is vast, silver makeup, looking back at the river. The pretty face of the distant mountain. Heart is gloomy, remembering Weiyang, still remembering the fragrance of red sleeves. The beauty is like a beautiful girl.

...

On a hillside of Bingfeng Mountain.

Looking up, "Bingfeng Mountain is so big, where can I find the best snow lotus?"

At this moment, Xu Yang suddenly noticed the fluctuation of spiritual power not far away. Using the Light Body Technique, he tapped the ground with his toes and sneaked towards the direction of the spiritual power fluctuation.

When he got closer, he looked sideways and saw that it was a snow-white crow. This crow was quite similar to the crow that Lin'er had in reality, but it was smaller.

The snow-colored crow suddenly turned its head towards Xu Yang's position and let out a crisp whine.

Xu Yang turned around and stood up from his hiding place.

"Little Snow Crow, don't be afraid. This little fairy won't hurt you." Xu Yang said with a smile, and then walked over.

When the little snow crow saw Xu Yang appear, a panic expression appeared in its eyes. The two wings flapped twice, and after flying into the air, they fell down with a "click".

From the little snow crow's wings just now, Xu Yang found that one of its wings was a little inflexible, and it was probably injured.

Xu Yang took two steps forward, took out a spiritual fruit, and put it in front of the little snow crow.

"You look injured. You haven't eaten for a few days."

Xiaoxueya looked at the spiritual fruit on the ground and then at Xu Yang. Then the little chicken pecked at the spiritual fruit like rice. After a while, only the bare core was left.

"Little Snow Crow, let me help you heal your injuries." As he said that, Xu Yang extended a palm to Little Snow Crow.

Xu Yang touched Little Snow Crow's wings with his hand, and sure enough one of them was sprained.

Using one hand, a light red halo appeared on Xu Yang's palm. Then he gently stroked Little Snow Crow's injured wings. A warm and soft spiritual energy was injected into Little Snow Crow's injured wings.

After a moment, the little snow crow spread its wings and flew up. The sprained wings are no longer a problem.

The little snow crow circled happily above Xu Yang's head and chirped a few times, as if thanking Xu Yang for his help.

Seeing that Little Snow Crow was fine, Xu Yang smiled. He thought in his mind that this snow crow could be found in Bingfeng Mountain, so he was no ordinary bird. He might know the location of the top-quality snow lotus.

Xu Yang took out the top-quality snow lotus pattern given by the doctor.

"Little Snow Crow, do you know where this kind of snow lotus grows?" Xu Yang pointed at the snow lotus on the screen and said.

The little snow crow landed on the pattern and jumped back and forth on the pattern. Then he nodded towards Xu Yang.

"Please take me to find this kind of snowdrop."

…

A month later, in the medical clinic in the small town.

A young man with a haggard face had a white snow crow standing on his shoulder. It was Xu Yang who had returned from picking the best snow lotus.

"Doctor, how is Xiao Lin'er's condition?" Xu Yang asked eagerly.

"Although Xiao Lin'er's condition has stabilized, she still occasionally feels fever and discomfort." The doctor replied.

Hearing this, Xu Yang felt a stone fall in his heart.

Xu Yang quickly took out a jade box and handed it to the doctor.

"There are three top-quality snowdrops inside. Please show them to me."

The doctor quickly took the jade box and opened it to take a look. A cloud of cold air hit my face, and three white flower branches lay quietly in the jade box.

"It is indeed the best snow lotus. You are so lucky, little brother."

"This is all thanks to Little Snow Crow." Xu Yang said, grinning happily and touching Little Snow Crow on his shoulder.

"One top-quality snow lotus flower is enough to cure Xiao Lin'er's body heat syndrome."

"Well, only you can cure Xiao Lin'er's body heat syndrome, and the remaining two flowers will be given to the doctor as reward!"

When the doctor heard about it, he realized there was such a good thing. Each of these top-quality snowdrops is rare.

The doctor patted his chest and said with a smile on his face: "Put it on me. In three days, Miss Lin'er's illness will definitely be cured."

…

Three days later, inside Xu Yang's small house.

Xu Yang was about to go out to the medical clinic to inquire about Xiao Lin'er's condition.

"Is Brother Xu Xiaoxian at home?" A call like a wind chime came into the house.

"Isn't this Xiao Lin'er's voice?" Xu Yang couldn't hide his joy and quickly came to the courtyard door and opened it with both hands.

A slim little girl in white stood in front of the door.

"Xiao Lin'er, are you all healed?" As he said that, Xu Yang looked up and down carefully and saw that Xiao Lin'er's face was white but rosy, and her complexion was full.

"Yes, I heard from the doctor, thank you for the snow lotus collected by brother Xu Xiaoxian? Xiao Lin'er came here to thank you." As she said this, Xiao Lin'er blinked her big eyes as clear as autumn water. He stretched out his hand behind his back and handed a bunch of candied haws to Xu Yang.

"Thanks!"

Xu Yang took the candied haws and took a bite, feeling an incomparable sweetness pouring into his heart. For Xu Yang at this time, this bunch of candied haws on a stick is the most delicious thing in the world.

…

The seasons have changed, and two years have passed in the blink of an eye.

Xu Yang discovered that Xiao Lin'er in the dream always looked twelve or thirteen years old. But I am growing up day by day. Xu Yang repeatedly wanted to remind Lin'er of his real name, but was afraid of disturbing Lin'er. Over the years, what Xu Yang thinks about most every day is to make Xiao Lin'er happy. Every smile from Xiao Lin'er is the best gift to Xu Yang. As for what Xiao Lin'er is in Xu Yang's heart, whether it's a friend, a sister, or a confidant, Xu Yang himself doesn't know.

In the dream, a period of time flies by like an arrow.

Xu Yang's temples in the mirror were dyed with a little white silk.

It’s spring time again.

"Xiao Lin'er, how about I take you to a fun place today?" Xu Yang said kindly.

"Okay, where will Xu Xiaoxian take Lin'er?"

"You'll know when we get there."

The western slope outside the town.

"That's the courtyard in front." Xu Yang said, pointing with his hand. A courtyard is built against the mountain. At the foot of the hillside is a lake. The clear lotus in the lake forms a large area, and a number of hibiscus stand pretty among the green lotus leaves.

The two came to the courtyard.

I saw a horizontal plaque hanging on the door of the courtyard with the words "Tianxiangzhai" written on it. On both sides of the door hangs a small couplet carved on rosewood. On the left it says: The dance on the sleeve brings out the fragrance of ink; on the right it says: The book opens with poetry.

…

It turns out that Xu Yang wanted to wake up Lin'er safely from her dream. In Xishan, a location similar to Lin'er's residence was chosen, and the money earned from running a winery in the town over the years was gradually invested in the replica construction of Lin'er's residence in Tiangui Sect.

In the replica "Tianxiangzhai" pavilion.

Xu Yang and Xiao Lin'er sat opposite each other at the stone table with a pot of fragrant tea, and they drank and chatted. The old stories of Jiazi are endless. Every time I talk about it, Xiao Liner smiles from ear to ear. Before you know it, the sun is in the middle of the sky.

"I invite you here today, and I have a gift for you." As he said this, Xu Yang took out a white paper fan from his arms with trembling hands. "I have always treasured this paper fan, so I will give it to you as a gift."

"Thank you, Xu Xiaoxian." Xiao Lin'er said, and took the paper fan with joy.

When he opened it, a few lines of small words jumped on the fan. "Butterfly Love Flower": Spring comes to a pool of green jade leaves. The green water is leisurely, and the longing is still unsolved. The wind is rustling in front of the whispering pond, and the beauty in the mirror in the water is fading. The morning breeze by the lake is swaying in the smoke and willows. The flying catkins are rustling, and when will the melancholy end. The wind is like snow in the small building at night, and the moon is bright at the end of the world.

Seeing this, Xiao Lin'er fell into deep thought, and suddenly her hand holding the paper fan loosened, and the paper fan fell on the stone table with a "click".

Seeing this, Xu Yang hurriedly picked up the paper fan on the table and said, "Don't you like it?" When he looked up, his eyes met, and both sides seemed to see something in each other's eyes.

"Xu Yang, you are...Xu Yang!" Xiao Lin'er stared at Xu Yang with her big eyes.

When Xu Yang heard Xiao Lin'er calling his original name, he realized that his efforts for sixty years had finally fulfilled his wish. His whole body trembled slightly, and two lines of tears burst out of his eyes...

The scenery in front of him gradually blurred, and suddenly a large area of ​​thick fog appeared around him, submerging everything. With a frog-like croaking sound, the thick fog dissipated, and the scenery in front of him had changed.
