There was a peach grove up ahead of them. Because it was June, the peach blossoms had long since withered away, and there were only a few tiny green peaches on the trees, which was beautiful.
Laura was happy and dragged Max over.
"Look, there are so many peaches."
Max smiled, "They're not ripe yet. Don't pick them."
Laura withdrew her hand, looked at the endless peach grove, and asked, "Guess what's beyond the grove?"
The grove covered a large area and was densely wooded. It was impossible to see what was going on beyond it.
Max shook his head and said honestly, "Don't know."
Laura dragged him into the grove.
"Let's go take a look."
Max didn't have a problem with that, so they walked forward together.
The grove was really big. It was surprising that there was such a large peach grove in Eqitin where the price of land was so high.
After a while, they suddenly heard someone playing an instrument like the violin.
It didn't sound like a modern piece of music.
Laura acted in a period drama some time ago and had learned some basic violin 101.
So she could recognize that it was a violin.
Her face lit up. She took his hand and said, "Someone's playing the violin over there."
Max heard the melody too. Seeing that she was intrigued, he suggested, "How about we go over to take a look?"
Laura nodded and they walked over together.
They didn't walk long before they saw a round stone table under a peach tree.
There were some low stools next to the table. A woman in a light blue dress was sitting on the stool playing the violin with her back to them.
A woman was playing the violin in a peach grove...
Laura felt like she was dreaming. It was as if this dense grove was a key that took them to an ancient world.
She was even more curious about this woman.
They approached slowly because they did not want to disturb her, and they stopped not far away.
They stood there listening quietly.
It was not as hot in the grove as it was outside.
It was almost noon but the leaves of trees shut out the sun.
A breeze came in and they felt a bit chilly.
Laura loved that moment. She smiled and gently beat time to the music.
After about two or three minutes, it stopped.
The woman on the stool paused for two seconds, got up, and turned to them.
She was breathtakingly beautiful.
Laura was a beauty and had seen many attractive women in the entertainment field.
She thought she had seen some of the most beautiful women in the world over the years and would not be impressed by another beauty.
