In the bright spring of March, flowers welcomed the season, and the pink peach blossoms covered the mountains and fields, intoxicating the visitors.

A SUV drove through the mountain road, with small family-run inns lining both sides, and countless tourists came here to admire the flowers and taste tea.

"There are really a lot of people," Zhang Yuhua said, sitting in the passenger seat and turning his head to look out the window, seeing the mountains covered with peach blossoms and people everywhere, the spring atmosphere was lively.

"This is a famous tourist destination. Every March, the peach blossoms are everywhere, and the tourists are like a weaving, very lively," Li Xuemei said from the back seat, quite familiar with the place.

"Indeed, it's not bad, although it's a bit far from the city, but the scenery is very charming," Yang Ying said, looking out the window, hoping that the pink peach blossoms would bring her a pink memory.

Zhang Yuhua retracted his gaze, glanced at Yu Fei who was driving, and asked, "How much further is it?"

Yu Fei smiled and said, "Almost there, just about ten miles, probably half an hour."

Zhang Yuhua said sarcastically, "Ten miles in half an hour, are you out of your mind?"

Li Xuemei scolded, "You're the one who's out of your mind. This is a tourist destination, there must be traffic jams ahead."

Zhang Yuhua chuckled and defended himself, "I've never been here before, how would I know these things?"

This time, the four of them, suggested by Li Xuemei, came to travel and enjoy the spring, choosing a place called Peach Blossom Village, which was a bit far from the city.

All four of them came from the top university in Yun City, the same grade but different majors.

Li Xuemei was a local, so she was very familiar with the area.

Zhang Yuhua and Yang Ying were both visiting for the first time, while Yu Fei had been there once.

Among the four, Li Xuemei and Zhang Yuhua were a couple, and Yu Fei and Yang Ying were in a relationship.

Half an hour later, the SUV arrived at Peach Blossom Village, where there were crowds of people, and it was very lively.

"It's only ten-thirty, it's still early for lunch. Let's find a nice place to settle down first, and then we can walk around later."

Li Xuemei, familiar with the area, quickly found a place for lunch with Yang Ying, and led Yu Fei and Zhang Yuhua to settle down.

In the bright spring of March, the weather was pleasant.

Yu Fei was dressed in casual clothes, standing at 182 cm, neither fat nor thin, with handsome features and a charming smile on his face.

Zhang Yuhua was dressed in a suit, standing at 185 cm, tall and handsome, with bright and captivating eyes.

Yu Fei was easy-going, and Zhang Yuhua was confident and outgoing. The two were the best friends in school, having known each other for two years and being like brothers.

Li Xuemei was dressed in jeans, tall and beautiful, standing at 165 cm with a well-proportioned figure, youthful and charming.

Yang Ying was dressed in sportswear, standing at 164 cm, with delicate and beautiful features, and large wavy hair that complemented her face, giving her an elegant and intellectual beauty.

Peach Blossom Village was a tourist destination, and after years of development, it had formed a market-like town, with various vendors calling out their wares.

Li Xuemei pulled Yang Ying close and whispered, occasionally bursting into light laughter.

Yu Fei accompanied Zhang Yuhua, walking behind them, the two guys looking around, admiring not only the peach blossoms but also the beautiful women.

In March, with the warm weather and blooming flowers, various beautiful women vied for attention, forming a beautiful landscape in Peach Blossom Village.

"Yu Fei, how's it going, anything... hehe..."

Zhang Yuhua had a suggestive look on his face, pressing Yu Fei about his relationship with Yang Ying.

Yu Fei gave his friend a dirty look and scolded, "Do you think I'm like you, a beast in human form?"

Zhang Yuhua was not angry, and retorted, "You're worse than a beast, lacking the strength."

Yu Fei knew his friend's temper and didn't bother to argue, quickly walking up to the two women and asked, "Are there any famous scenic spots nearby?"

Li Xuemei thought for a moment and pointed to a hill a few miles away, "There's a Peach Blossom Temple there, quite dilapidated, I don't know from what era it's from."

Yu Fei looked at the hill, where there were few peach trees, only a few scattered ones, and almost no tourists.

"The Peach Blossom Temple in Tang Yin's poem is quite famous, I want to go see it."

"I think the peach blossoms are more beautiful, let's skip the temple."

Zhang Yuhua deliberately disagreed, not wanting to walk so far.

"I'll go with you."

Yang Ying smiled and walked to Yu Fei's side.

Li Xuemei smiled, "You two go, we won't disturb you. If anything happens, call us."

Yu Fei nodded slightly, and the four of them split up.

From Peach Blossom Village to the Peach Blossom Temple was about three kilometers, requiring a half-hour walk.

Yu Fei and Yang Ying walked side by side, one handsome and charming, the other beautiful and elegant, drawing envious glances from many passersby.

"Why does Zhang Yuhua always call you Yu Fei?"

"He's jealous."

Yang Ying smiled, "I think so too. He doesn't have your calm and composed demeanor, and in front of you, his confidence is always threatened."

Yu Fei smiled bitterly, "Being too calm often lacks passion."

"That's because you have secrets in your heart, and you're hiding them..."

Yu Fei was taken aback, turning to look at Yang Ying, whose beautiful face had clear eyes that seemed to see through his soul.

At that moment, a commotion came from ahead, with many tourists gathered in a circle, seemingly something had happened.

Yu Fei and Yang Ying curiously approached and saw a small car had hit a female student in her early twenties, breaking her leg, and blood was everywhere, the injury was severe.

Many people were trying to help, but the female student's injury was serious, and the bleeding wouldn't stop, requiring immediate medical attention.

Although Peach Blossom Village was a tourist destination, it only became lively in March each year, and there were no specialized medical facilities.

Moreover, it was far from the city, putting the female student in a difficult situation.

Just as everyone was extremely anxious, a young man in his twenties, with an ordinary appearance and dressed in casual clothes, squeezed into the circle.

"Everyone, don't panic, I can heal her leg."

The young man squatted next to the female student, carefully examined her injury, and then made a few gestures in the air over her leg, muttering strange words.

Yang Ying was puzzled, "What is he doing?"

Yu Fei's eyes changed slightly, scanning the crowd but not finding any other unusual people.

After the young man made a few gestures and muttered, he pointed at the female student's thigh, and the bleeding stopped immediately.

Then, the young man grabbed the female student's leg and began to set the bone, occasionally making strange gestures, but they were quick and many people didn't see them clearly.

Could he really set a broken bone like this?

It was absurd.

But this absurd thing actually happened a moment later.

"Done, try to stand up and walk."

The female student looked at the young man in shock, tried to move her injured leg, and found no pain at all, completely normal.

"I'm fine, my leg doesn't hurt, I... I..."

The female student grabbed the young man's hand, too excited to speak.

The driver was also overjoyed, repeatedly thanking him and offering to pay.

"No need to worry about it, meeting is a kind of fate."

The young man turned and left.

"Broken legs can be set and healed perfectly, this is too amazing."

"It's like a dream, are we dreaming?"

The tourists were shocked, almost unable to believe what had just happened.

Yu Fei watched the young man's departing back, thinking, "Saving someone doesn't need to be so exaggerated, the inheritor of Mount Mao's talisman is really..."

After the incident, the driver paid some money, and the crowd gradually dispersed.

Yu Fei and Yang Ying arrived at the Peach Blossom Temple half an hour later, and the dilapidated scene surprised Yu Fei.

This place was not far from Peach Blossom Village, and the local tourism was developed, why wasn't it developed as a tourist attraction?

The Peach Blossom Temple was small, with a peach blossom deity inside, but the head was missing.

Yu Fei stood outside the temple, looking at the headless peach blossom deity, his eyes had a strange expression.

Yang Ying stood beside him, frowning, "There's nothing to see."

Yu Fei said nothing, walked into the temple, and gently touched the abdomen of the stone statue, where a peach blossom was carved.

Due to the long years, the peach blossom was covered in dust.

Yu Fei wiped away the dust, and the peach blossom appeared, pink and dazzling.

At that moment, Yu Fei's eyes changed slightly, and he sighed, "Maybe I shouldn't have come..."

Yang Ying, blocked by Yu Fei, didn't see the peach blossom, and comforted him, "Don't worry, just treat it as a walk, we're here to have fun anyway."

Yu Fei paused for a moment, and when he turned to leave the temple, the pink peach blossom on the stone statue's abdomen had faded.

At noon, Yu Fei and Yang Ying returned to Peach Blossom Village, and Yang Ying mentioned the incident of the young man setting the bone and stopping the bleeding.

Li Xuemei said, "We've heard about it, but we don't really believe it. What kind of era is this, how can such things happen?"

Zhang Yuhua stared at Yu Fei and asked, "Did you really see it with your own eyes, no hallucination?"

Yu Fei nodded, not saying much.

In the afternoon, the four of them enjoyed the flowers and climbed the mountains in Peach Blossom Village, having a great time.

Suddenly, a bolt of lightning split the sky, and the weather changed in an instant.

Soon, thunder and lightning, strong winds, and heavy rain enveloped Peach Blossom Village.

Yu Fei and the others took shelter in a local home, with a higher elevation, they could see the situation at the Peach Blossom Temple.

In the heavy rain, a particularly bright bolt of lightning struck the Peach Blossom Temple, causing the already dilapidated temple to collapse.

Yu Fei watched this scene, feeling somewhat complex.

Is this the will of heaven?

Yang Ying was somewhat surprised, having visited the Peach Blossom Temple in the morning, and now it was struck by lightning, was this too coincidental?

Li Xuemei and Zhang Yuhua didn't notice, both hoping the rain would pass quickly.

Soon, the rain stopped, and the sun came out from the clouds.

A rainbow appeared in the sky, landing in front of Yu Fei.

"It seems it really is the will of heaven."

Yu Fei thought to himself, but remained calm on the surface.

"The rain has damaged the peach blossoms, there's nothing to see. Let's go back to school."

At Zhang Yuhua's suggestion, the four of them left Peach Blossom Village.

On the way back to the city, Yu Fei let Zhang Yuhua drive, sitting in the passenger seat, his expression somewhat unusual.

The car originally belonged to Zhang Yuhua, but because they were good friends, Yu Fei often drove it.

By the time they returned to Yun City, it was already 5 PM. Zhang Yuhua suggested going out to play in the evening, but the two girls declined.

"I have something to do in the evening, you guys go play."

Yu Fei checked his phone, seeing many messages.

"I have to go back too."

Yang Ying glanced at Yu Fei and then left.

"Yu Fei, go see her off."

Li Xuemei glared at Yu Fei and gave him a look.

"I'll see her off, you two have fun."

Yu Fei caught up with Yang Ying and saw her off the campus.

"I always feel that Yu Fei doesn't really like Yang Ying, what do you think?"

Zhang Yuhua chuckled, "This guy is naturally lazy, just this lazy appearance, you're thinking too much."

Li Xuemei sighed lightly and was then pulled away by Zhang Yuhua.
