Chapter 201: A Crescent Full Moon
The sky was completely bright. In the dilapidated field, two figures were swinging in a pattern, while saying a few words from time to time.
One person was Liu Bei, and the other person was Guan Yu.
Liu Bei said: Its dawn
Guan Yu paused for a moment and said: But I still dont understand what he is planning.
Liu Bei pondered, and with his iconic big earlobes swaying, he said: Shake the Heaven, that person left on his own after giving us a packet of peach tree seeds. It is truly hard to understand.
Guan Yu stroked his long beard, narrowed his phoenix eyes and said: Perhaps, this matter is not hard to understand.
Liu Bei looked at Guan Yu and said: Oh? What do you mean?
Guan Yu said: The time is insufficient.
Liu Bei carefully calculated, then nodded his head, seemingly understanding the reason, and said: It sounds reasonable, but I wonder if we two can keep up with the time
Guan Yus eyes shone and said: Brother, rest assured, with our fate, well accomplish great things!
Liu Bei lowered his head and smiled, but continued to work hard with Guan Yu
However, not far away, Shi Hao and Pei Yuanqing were quietly watching every action of Liu Bei and Guan Yu.
With a cunning look on his face, Shi Hao said: Very good!
Pei Yuanqing didnt understand and asked: Whats good?
Shi Hao smiled and said: Its good that they discovered our trace.
Pei Yuanqing frowned, becoming more puzzled and said: They know we havent left?
Shi Hao said: Yes! If they didnt know, then they wouldnt have worked so cleverly, moreover, they also wouldnt have said such words to intentionally relax my guard. They are acting.
Pei Yuanqings eyebrows were already twisted as he asked: Eh? Why are they intentionally putting on a performance for us?
Shi Hao calmly replied: Because I had done something to the seeds that I gave them. Those are dead seeds. If they are truly serious about planting the peach trees, then how could they not notice the trick?
Pei Yuanqing nodded his head and his brows relaxed for a moment, but he frowned again and asked: But I still dont understand, since they discovered our trace, why is it good?
A hint of cunningness flashed through Shi Haos eyes and said: Because I just happened to need someone to help me plant those dead seeds. If they hadnt noticed our trace, then they wouldnt have done it. At that time, we needed to personally plant them, wouldnt that be hard work?
Pei Yuanqing said: Oh! Putting it that way, they have become our laborers. However, planting those dead seeds, how can we get a peach garden?
Shi Hao replied with a smile: The real peach garden had never been far away. It has always been here.
Pei Yuanqing looked around, but didnt see any trace of a peach garden.
Shi Hao said again: Dont waste your energy, that peach garden is invisible to others.
After speaking, Shi Hao turned around and left. Pei Yuanqing also hastily followed behind
Meanwhile, in the dilapidated field, someone noticed the movement of Shake the Heaven.
Guan Yu threw away the farm tools in his hand and said: Brother, they left
Liu Bei also stopped, took a deep breath and said: He must know some other good way to subdue Brother Zhang Fei. We two must not let our guard down and let him take advantage of the loopholes.
Guan Yu was very confident, and a crescent moon appeared on his flushed face, just like a frosty bright moon in the vast red sky. It was amazing and also terrifying. It was a kind of murderous beauty. He said: Brother, rest assured. Next time, Ill make them unable to leave with my skill.
Liu Bei patted Guan Yus shoulder, looking very assured
A few days later, at noon, the hottest time of the day, Liu Bei and Guan Yu completed the planting mission assigned to them by Shi Hao. They then wiped the sweat on their foreheads, but they still didnt dare to relax. Because Shake the Heaven was monitoring them from a special position.
Upon seeing this, Shi Hao smiled and said: Finally, its over
Pei Yuanqing echoed: Yes! Thats great, its finally finished. Together with Shi Hao, he had been monitoring Liu Bei and Guan Yu every day, which was very hard. If you want Pei Yuanqing to go practice martial arts, then even if he had to practice for three days and three nights, he wouldnt be tried. As for monitoring other peoples works, it was absolutely not easy for him.
Shi Hao slightly shook his head and said: Although its over, its no good.
Pei Yuanqing sighed and said: Why? He already didnt want to stay here wasting time. Wasting time was whittling fighting will. Regardless of how sharp a divine weapon was, if it just collected dust for a long time, then it would be nothing more than a pig-butchering knife. As a battle weapon, Pei Yuanqing naturally didnt want to waste time, which he could use for sharpening his skills, like this.
Shi Hao understood Pei Yuanqings thoughts and said: Dont worry. Although its a somewhat sloppy job, its also enough.
Pei Yuanqing felt relieved and said: Then when should we start, and what should we do?
Shi Hao calculated the time, looked at the clouds at the horizon and said: Wait! There should be a good scene tonight. The clouds cant cover the moon.
Pei Yuanqing was dumbfounded and said: What does this have to do with us?
Shi Hao replied with a smile: A good scene brings us a good spirit.
Pei Yuanqing looked at Shi Hao in confusion. No matter the scenery of tonight, at least Pei Yuanqing wouldnt be in a good mood. He said: Then, what shall we do now?
Shi Hao laid down and said: Sleep
The curtain of night befell quietly, and Pei Yuanqing urged Shi Hao to wake up.
Shi Hao drowsily stretched and said: The moon is truly round.
Pei Yuanqing doubtfully looked at the crescent moon in the sky and said: Why are you saying its round? Isnt it crescent?
Shi Hao replied with a smile: The moon has always been round. Merely, most people can see it clearly only during a certain period of time.
Thats right! The truth was indeed like that. In fact, regardless of what shaped moon you saw, the moon itself had always been round, ellipsoid in 3D view. This matter had never changed just because the observers saw different results from different angles.
Pei Yuanqing was confused. Although he was not stupid, he couldnt understand the meaning of this.
Shi Hao waved his hand and said: Tonight, it should have a result.
After speaking, Shi Hao walked out with Pei Yuanqing and yelled: Brother Xuande, long time no see. The more he walked, the slower his steps and the smaller steps he took. With small steps, Shi Hao walked to the front of Liu Bei. At this moment, Liu Bei was resting in a small hut beside the field. But he immediately got up after hearing the sound.
The two sides faced each other again.
Liu Bei cupped his hands and politely greeted: Its truly been a long time. But I wonder why Your Excellency is here again? He was on guard while looking at Shake the Heaven. Upon seeing the calm look of Shake the Heaven, even though he was alarmed, he had to pretend to be calm.
Fortunately, his brother, Guan Yu, was already prepared. He was standing not far away, ready to teach Shake the Heaven a lesson at any time. As matters stood, Liu Bei was also helpless. As long as Shake the Heaven didnt give up in the matter of recruiting Zhang Fei, Liu Bei also couldnt hold back!
