Peach blossoms bloomed all over the deserted mountains overnight.
This kind of scenery seems to set off a miraculous shock in the eyes of the people in the city, but the strange thing is... the mountain is obviously there, but the people under the mountain still see a barren mountain.
Only those who climb Peach Mountain can see the scenery above Peach Mountain.
But those who climbed Peach Mountain and saw Peach Blossoms forgot about the scenery in the blink of an eye after leaving Peach Blossoms.
No matter how beautiful they thought the peach blossoms were, they seemed to be unable to remember everything on Peach Mountain after coming down the mountain.
A painter painted the beauty of Peach Mountain, but when he left Peach Mountain, there was nothing in the painting.
Someone broke off a peach branch on the Peach Mountain and went down the mountain. After going down the mountain, he couldn't remember where the peach branch in his hand came from...
We are obviously in the same place, but it seems like we are separated by two lives.
Xiao Xuanji looked at the people who had forgotten the scenery on Peach Mountain when they came down the mountain. He turned to look at Su Mo beside him and didn't understand why Su Mo did this.
Seeing Xiao Xuanji's doubts, Su Mo just said as if sighing: "I like...purity..."
Xiao Xuanji was puzzled, but didn't think much about it.
He likes the scenery on the Peach Mountain very much, likes the petals flying all over the sky, and likes the wanton fragrance of flowers.
Xiao Xuanji's time in the restaurant gradually became less and less. Whenever he had time, he would run to Peach Mountain and sit in the peach forest and read a book.
He likes Peach Mountain, as the peach blossoms blooming all over the mountain are similar to Su Mo.
Peaceful and elegant, but it is constantly drifting and blooming new peach blossoms.
It's like another... reincarnation.
Time passed like this, and Xiao Xuanji seemed to have become like Su Mo, elegant and casual...
There are fewer and fewer guests in the restaurant, even those old drinkers are constantly decreasing.
Su Mo seemed to be calmly facing the lack of customers in the restaurant, and didn't care about the situation.
He often stood on the attic of the restaurant, looking at the lights of thousands of houses through the window sill, as if he admired and regretted it.
Xiao Xuanji climbed up to the attic, looked at Pianpian in white clothes in front of the window, and walked forward slowly.
"Brother, what are you looking at?"
Su Mo shook his head, "I don't know."
He didn't know what he was looking at, and everything seemed to be in his eyes.
Xiao Xuanji thought for a while, smiled and said, "Then let's play chess."
Su Mo turned around and nodded, "Okay."
The two senior brothers sat facing each other, leaning against the window sill and started playing chess again.
Xiao Xuanji laid out the chessboard, still using the white chess pieces for himself and the black chess pieces for Su Mo. He takes the first move, Su Mo takes the second move...
This seems to have become a habit for the two of them to play chess.
Xiao Xuanji looked at the cold restaurant as he walked down, and asked Su Mo doubtfully, "Senior brother, why don't you sell our peach blossom wine?"
"The peach blossom wine is so delicious, business will definitely be good."
Su Mo shook his head, held the black piece between his fingers and put it into the chessboard. He still said the same sentence, "I like purity."
Xiao Xuanji turned around, looked at Su Mo in confusion, raised his hand to put in the chess piece, and whispered softly: "But senior brother obviously likes to see the bright lights of thousands of houses."
The longest time Su Mo spent in the restaurant was in front of the window sill, watching the commotion of the world.
Su Mo's hand holding the chess piece paused slightly, sighed, and continued playing chess.
He raised his head and glanced at Xiao Xuanji, meaning, "Recently, several of the regular customers in the restaurant haven't come either..."
Xiao Xuanji was stunned for a moment, then thought for a moment and said, "Aren't they invincible? Why don't they come?"
Su Mo shook his head, "Never again..."
He put down the chess pieces gently, as if he was playing more than just chess.
Xiao Xuanji trembled when he heard this, and the chess piece in his hand seemed to be hard to drop. He raised his head, his eyes seemed to be a little red, "Are they dead?"
Xiao Xuanji is different from Su Mo. Su Mo always avoids regular customers who come to the restaurant. But Xiao Xuanji always likes to get together and listen to those old drinkers talking about past events.
As they went back and forth, they gradually became familiar with each other.
Now that I hear that they will never come again, I feel a little sad.
Su Mo nodded and said calmly: "Birth, old age, illness and death are normal. At their age, they may fall asleep at any time..."
Su Mo signaled Xiao Xuanji to make a move. After Xiao Xuanji made a move, Su Mo put down the chess piece again and continued to speak.
"In a person's life, he is always meeting and saying goodbye to others. It is easy to meet but hard to say goodbye..."
Xiao Xuanji looked up at Su Mo's vicissitudes of life and said as if questioning.
"Is this the reason why Senior Brother obviously likes to be lively, but says that he likes to be quiet and doesn't want to get to know others?"
Su Mo sighed deeply and turned to look at the scenery outside the window, "I can't bear to say goodbye, so I simply don't know each other."
"It's just adding to the sadness..."
Xiao Xuanji looked at Su Mo in confusion, but slowly lowered his head. Thinking that those old drinkers would never come again, he felt a little sad.
The two continued to play chess in silence.
Passers-by were swarming outside the restaurant, and the sound of footsteps echoed on the street. The sound of footsteps circled up the beams and entered the restaurant.
Although it was only on the street, there seemed to be a gap that Bai Yi did not dare to cross.
The sky is getting dark, and the lights of thousands of houses are lit again...
Xiao Xuanji looked at another dead-end chess game on the chessboard, seemingly a little frustrated.
"Almost, almost, I almost won."
His chess skills are constantly improving, but every time he plays chess with Su Mo, he is just a little behind... No matter how he plays chess, he seems to be just a little behind Su Mo.
No matter how he grew up, Su Mo would always dominate him.
That thin line seems difficult for him to cross no matter what...
Xiao Xuanji raised his head and sighed, with anguish on his face. He looked up and saw that Su Mo was calm as usual.
After thinking about it, Xiao Xuanji asked again: "Shall we play another game?"
Su Mo shook his head and said, "Let's do it another day."
Xiao Xuanji raised his head in confusion and looked at Su Mo in confusion.
Su Mo looked out the window, "Let's tidy up, guests are coming soon..."
Xiao Xuanji turned his head and looked out the window. He didn't seem to see anyone coming, but he still obediently picked up the mess on the table.
Sure enough, after Xiao Xuanji put away the chessboard, he heard the two of them boarding the attic looking familiar.
The visitor calmly sat down opposite Su Mo, looked at Su Mo and said with some dissatisfaction, "What do you want to do with this big deal?"
The visitors were none other than Liu Nian and Feng Zun, and what Liu Nian was referring to was of course Taoshan behind the restaurant...
Su Mo didn't answer, just took a sip of wine silently.
"Are you here to pay the stolen goods you owed last time?"
Liu Nian's lips twitched and he immediately shook his head, "I was just passing by today and I don't have the habit of carrying silver with me. Next time..."
"Next time I will definitely..."
Su Mo was helpless and turned to look at Feng Zun. Feng Zun just smiled and seemed not to be prepared to pay.
