Chapter 1057 Extra: Peach Tree
Decades passed in the blink of an eye, and the young man became an old man with white hair.
At this moment, in a nursing home.
A white-haired old man sat in a wheelchair, napping in the sun.
Half asleep and half awake, he saw a slim girl walking towards him, with flowing black hair, charming eyes and a bright smile, which reminded him of the peach blossoms in full bloom on Su Causeway in April.
He tried hard to open his eyes and take a closer look at the person who came, but his consciousness sank uncontrollably into sleep.
In my dream, it was the West Lake in early April, with peach blossoms blooming on the Su Causeway, and the scenery was charming. When the wind blew, the flowers fell like rain.
He heard a woman's bell-like laughter, but could not see anyone.
He walked along the long, green embankment and stood on the Yingbo Bridge, anxiously looking for someone.
But outside the long dike was a vast expanse of water, and there was no one else there except him.
He turned around and found himself on a hillside again, looking down at the Qiantang River. In the distance, waves were rolling and the sound of the tide was heard.
He stared blankly at the ebb and flow of the tide, then suddenly, turning back, he saw a peach tree in full bloom.
Why does this scene look familiar?
"Who are you?" He asked softly, stroking the rough branches of the peach tree.
The branches swayed, and the pink and white petals fell into his palm, making him inexplicably sad.
"Grandpa Mo Chuan, the sun is setting, it's time to go back to the room."
Mo Chuan opened his loose eyelids, and everything in the dream disappeared like a mirage the moment he woke up.
When he lowered his eyes, he found that there was an extra blanket on his legs.
Mo Chuan vaguely remembered that the blanket was hung behind the wheelchair when the sun was shining warmly in the afternoon. Now that the sun has set, it is just right to cover it.
But, when was it covered?
"Xiao Wang, are you the one who covered me with this blanket?"
The nurse Xiao Wang said: "When I came over, you were already covered with a blanket. Maybe the other nurses were afraid that you would be cold, so they covered you with it when they passed by."
"is it?"
Mo Chuan felt somewhat confused, as if someone was secretly spying on him.
Back then, his grandmother helped him connect to Sang Feiwan's live broadcast room to calculate his marriage, and the result was that he would be alone. His words came true, and he really never got married in his life.
The days and years passed so quickly that it was hard to keep up with the pace. In the blink of an eye, 50 years had passed.
When his legs and feet are still able to move freely, he can still live alone.
Later, he had a stroke and had to go to a nursing home.
So he simply sold his house and chose a nursing home with a good reputation to live in, where he lived for another five or six years.
Recently, his health has been getting worse and worse, and he always feels sleepy and dozes off from time to time. When he falls asleep, he has a lot of messy dreams. Sometimes he dreams of his grandma calling him home, and sometimes he dreams of himself wandering on the Su Causeway looking for someone, but he doesn't know who he is looking for.
Xiao Wang pushed Mo Chuan to the cafeteria to eat.
A group of old people are chatting.
"The new nurse, Xiaotao, is so nice. She always smiles when she talks to everyone."
"Looking at Xiaotao's temperament, she must have been a great beauty when she was young!"
"I heard that Old Zhang confessed his love to Xiao Tao yesterday, but was rejected. Xiao Tao said that she already has a crush on someone."
"Really? Xiao Tao has a lover? Then why is she still volunteering at the nursing home every day?"
Mo Chuan couldn't help but ask, "Who is Xiao Tao you are talking about?"
A fat old man said, "It's the little old lady with beautiful eyes who always smiles when she talks."
"Are there any old ladies with particularly beautiful eyes in our nursing home?" Mo Chuan was a little puzzled, and then he laughed again, "When people get old, their eyes become cloudy, how can they still be beautiful?"
"Really! Xiaotao's eyes are as bright as a 20-year-old girl's!"
"But why haven't I seen her?"
"Grandpa, every time Aunt Tao passed by you, you were sleeping." Caregiver Xiao Wang explained with a smile.
"Auntie Tao is very kind. She brings a bunch of peach blossoms to give to everyone every morning. Isn't there a peach blossom in your room too?"
"Oh, so that flower was given by her."
Mo Chuan nodded, thinking that he would say thank you to her next time they met.
When he returned to the room, he saw at a glance that the peach blossoms at the head of the bed had bloomed, with clusters of pink and white petals, as if... as if he had seen them in a dream.
As Mo Chuan looked at it, he was reminded of the Su Causeway in April, with peach blossoms in full bloom.
Unfortunately, after his leg was broken, he hasn’t been to Su Causeway for many years.
Lying on the bed, Mo Chuan heard a silver bell-like voice in a trance: "Ming Jing, Ming Jing..."
He waved his hands wildly, trying to catch the source of the sound, but instead caught a warm palm.
The next morning, Mo Chuan did not wake up again.
When the medical staff arrived, they saw him with his hands folded on his chest, looking peaceful. Next to his pillow, there was a branch of peach blossoms...
Cemetery at night.
The sandalwood tree demon was emitting golden light all over its body and was muttering something.
After a long time, a flash of golden light appeared.
The sandalwood tree demon sighed and shouted to the people in the shadows in the distance: "Tao, the salvation is over, he is gone."
The peach tree demon walked out from a shadow with tears in the corners of his eyes.
In this life, even until death, the two will never see each other again.
Taoshu worked as a volunteer in a nursing home. He did a lot of work and took care of many elderly people just so that he could cover him with a blanket once when he fell asleep.
In order to give him a peach blossom, she sent it to all the elderly people before finally giving the flower to him.
"Thank you, Lao Tan."
The sandalwood tree demon possesses the power of purification, so it is naturally a good thing that he is willing to help Mo Chuan to be reincarnated.
The sandalwood tree demon waved his hands: "Why thank me? We have been friends for so many years!"
The peach tree demon asked again: "By the way, why did you come here suddenly?"
The sandalwood tree demon said, "The immortal calculated that you were here, and that your lover's life would soon end, so he asked me to come here to help save his soul."
Speaking of Sang Feiwan, the peach tree demon couldn't help but ask a few more questions: "How are you doing recently, Great Immortal?"
The sandalwood tree demon said with a smile, "I have money and time, and I have Master Yu accompanying me every day. I can go on a trip whenever I want. How can that be bad?"
The peach tree demon also smiled with relief: "It's great that lovers finally get married. What about Bai Jun? He sent me a message a few days ago saying that he missed me. But I always feel that the boy is up to no good."
"That's because he suddenly found that he had wrinkles, and he was worried that Zhang Xuexue would dislike him, so he wanted to ask you if you had any way to stay young forever."
The sandalwood tree demon got angry when talking about this: "Although Bai Jun can't practice, the immortal makes spiritual tea for him every year. He looks much younger than his peers after drinking it. He is in his seventies or eighties, but he looks like he is in his forties. He keeps complaining about his wrinkles in front of me. How can he have as many wrinkles as me? I am not worried, so why should he, a little brat, be worried?"
The peach tree demon smiled and said, "When I first met Bai Jun, he almost went crazy because he said the wrong thing. But that boy has a kind heart, and the many encounters he had later can be considered his blessings."
The sandalwood tree demon asked the peach tree: "Peach, you have had a hard time out there these years. Isn't it time to go home? Everyone is waiting for you to dance with them!"
The peach tree demon said: "Instead of living in a muddle-headed way, it is better to do more good deeds and accumulate more merits. Maybe... maybe in the next life, I can stand in front of him openly."
"Okay, let's wait another lifetime. We can be together again in the next life." The sandalwood tree demon sighed, turned around and left.
The peach tree demon shouted from behind: "Old Tan, do you want to go back to Jiangyue Villa? I'll buy you a ticket!"
The thin old man hunched his back and shook his head in the darkness: "I'm going to go to the south. Xiaoye...Ye Liangmu's death is coming in a few days, I'm going to pray for his soul to be reborn."
A faint sigh, carrying the regrets of the past life, came from the night:
"I hope he can be born into a good family in his next life, and try to be a girl. Oh, girls are so good, why be a man..."
