At the moment of the child, the sun flower field, the wind sees the fragrance of the house. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Ligraw piled all the moving furniture, beds, cabinets, desks, and chairs, all at the door. When it was done, she stood in front of the door with her waist hunched up, looked at the makeshift "fortifications", and exhaled heavily.

She didn't know if the horizontal cabinets, vertical beds, tables and chairs stacked on top of each other could stop the zombies, but she knew that even if the door was broken, the intruder would have to spend some time pushing away the obstacles. For her, that's enough.

"Anyway, when the door broke, I jumped out of the window and ran for my life. That's what she thought.

Turning, Liglu looked around at the empty bedroom. It was here that Nalan woke up, so she still had some "interesting" memories in this room.

It's just that, compared to the outfit at that time, there are only a few pots of flowers left in this bedroom and they are still the same-even if Ligelu is crazy, she will not touch the flowers and plants of the Yuxiang family, not to mention that she is not crazy.

As the zombies outside tirelessly pounded on the door, Liglaw was crouching in the corner, her legs curled up and her chin propped up on her knees. With three pots of flowers in front of her, she is currently the only companion she has.

She stared silently at the flowers, her nostrils filled with the fragrance of the flowers—it calmed her heart. When she was young, her body no longer trembled, and the cold fear became farther and farther away from her. The hideous corpses and the bloody Shura field seemed to no longer exist, and in her eyes, only flowers and leaves were left.

A flower is a world, a tree is a floating life.

"Why don't you try raising flowers when it's all over?" the thought suddenly came to Ligrau's head.

I don't know if it's because Liglu has transcended the world and the six roots are pure, or because the zombies are tired of the repeated beatings and give up, and after a few minutes, she can't hear the sound of slamming the door anymore.

At first, she didn't believe her ears, thinking it was a hallucination, because the sound of her heart-pounding door was not gradually weakened, but completely disappeared in an instant. But when she pricked up her ears and listened carefully to the sound in the air, she realized that there was indeed no sound outside the door.

The empty house, the flower pots, the lonely girl, the silence is a little terrifying.

After a brief struggle of thoughts, Ligrau mustered up her courage, stood up, and moved to the door in small steps. She looked at the large pile of furniture blocking the door, like the lid of a Pandora's box.

"Squeak-"

As the desk was dragged out of place, the legs rubbed against the floor, making a high-pitched scream. If there were zombies outside the door, they would have been alarmed by the sound and swarmed in, but Liglaw didn't hear even a single footstep.

It was unusual, but she breathed a sigh of relief, and without hesitation, she removed all the furniture that blocked the door, and then pulled the door open.

Outside the door, she saw an otherworldly green: thorny vines covering the walls, ceilings, and floors, leaving no gaps. The zombies that had just blocked the doorway were all wrapped in vines and clinging to the wall, forming a small drumge in the shape of a human figure, with occasionally one or two arms or a few heads exposed, all shriveled up like mummies.

This strange sight resembles the invasion of man-eating plants described in horror novels, and it is extremely terrifying to watch, but instead of being afraid, Kleiglu feels a little kind.

She took a step and ran downstairs, through the kitchen and living room, which had been cluttered with intrusive zombies and savage vines, all the way to the entrance.

The cool breeze of the autumn night poured into the room through the doorway, blowing the hem of Ligodlu's skirt. The wind was cold, and Khaliglu's body was so hot that she was sweating.

Her heart felt like it was going to pop out of her throat, hers

The owner of this flower field, her savior, the lord of the flowers of the four seasons, stood at the door, looking at her with those beautiful red eyes, and smiling.

"Sister Yuxiang!"

Ligrau cried out, and threw herself into her arms without hesitation.

At two o'clock, east of the Enchanted Forest, Xianglin Hall.

The lights in the shop went out, and it was pitch black. Mori Rinnosuke hid under the counter, not daring to take a breath.

A petite girl squatted beside him, holding her head in her hands, clinging to him tightly, shivering. She had a slightly cute face, but she was a little blue from fright, and she couldn't show it at all.

This girl is about the same age as Reimu and Marisa, and her height may be a little higher, but not that tall. She was dressed in blue and black, and she looked like the women's model of Rinnosuke's outfit. In addition, the most striking feature of her body is the pair of two-color bird feathers with red on the top and white on the back.

As for her hairstyle, it may be a bit complicated to say, she has short silver-gray hair, bangs and a pinch of blue hair on each sideburns, two short horns on the top of her head, which look like propped up hair, and a few red bird feathers on the back of her head, I don't know if it is a headdress, or if it just grows directly.

Considering her status, these feathers may actually grow on the back of her head.

That's right, she's a monster, there's no doubt about it, there is no master in Gensokyo who washes, cuts, and blows for fifteen yuan, and there is no dragon that bakes and dyes and perms, and those who can look so demonic are basically genuine monsters. This guy's name is Tokiko, this is not her real name, who knows what her original name was, because she is a rare crested ibis monster, everyone is called that.

Originally, the toki was here to make a hot pot...... No, she just came to Xianglin Hall to read books as always, but this time, she watched for a long time, and she stayed on tea and snacks until dark...... Then she couldn't go.

The outside of Xianglin Hall is full of zombies, and there must be hundreds of them at best. The man stood in the room and looked out the window, and he could only see a large area of black oppression, as if the end of the world.

The only good news was that the zombies didn't notice the two crouching behind the counter, just passing by in groups. As long as they don't make a sound, they won't be discovered, as long as they don't make a sound......

"Why...... Why is this happening......"

As she spoke, Toki kept her voice as low as she could, confident that it would not reach the zombie's ears through the thin wooden door, hoping she was right.

"Isn't your home safe? I want to take refuge here. She poked Rin no suke in the stomach, looked up at his face, and grumbled.

"When is my house safe?" Rinnosuke explained in the same small volume, "If the zombies in the Enchanted Forest want to go to the human realm, they must pass through here, don't you even look at the map?"

"And how did you survive last night?"

"I just squatted in the room and didn't make a sound, until dawn......"

Toki and Rinnosuke, one with his head up, the other with his head down, stared at each other with big eyes, looked at each other for a while, and then sighed together.

"Do you have to hide like this all night tonight, my legs are numb......" Toki sighed a little weakly.

"If you're too tired, you can go and lie down on the bed in the back room, and remember to walk lightly. Rinnosuke said this, and added:

"Anyway, I don't dare to sleep, in case the zombies come in while asleep, I don't know how to die. ”

"I ...... too Forget it, I'll stay here......" The ibis hugged his knees, lowered his head, and wilted, "If they find us, you ...... You're going to protect me......"

"If I could protect you, I wouldn't be hiding in the house. ”

Rinnosuke smiled helplessly, reached out and gently touched the head of the toki. Her hair is thick and stiff, with the texture of a bird's feather, and if you touch it, it is extremely smooth, and if you touch it backwards, it is a little prickly.

"This guy can't have a feather, right?"

Just as Rinnosuke was thinking this, a strange noise ruined his thoughts......

And clung to his heart.

"Boom!"

"Jingle bell!"

It was the sound of the wooden door being slammed, and the ringing of the little brass bell hanging from the door.

"Boom!"

"Jingle bell!"

The first stroke may have been an accident, but the second and third strokes conveyed a terrible truth to the two in the room:

The guys out there want to come in.

The low moans and the screams of fingernails scratching the door completely shattered the ridiculous fantasy of the two of them "hiding until dawn". Toki grabbed the corner of Rinnosuke's clothes, and her gasp accompanied by a slight tremor reached Rinnosuke's ears.

"Lin...... Rinnosuke ......"

Frightened, it was difficult for the toki to organize a decent language. She just stumbled and called Rinnosuke's name, hoping that this big brother, who had never been reliable, could do something.

Even if it's just singing a song to calm her mind a little, it's fine.

"Go to the back room, lock the door, and don't come out under any circumstances. Rinnosuke said with a solemn face.

Toki looked up at Rinnosuke's side face with tears in her eyes. She seemed to be a little confused, and she couldn't understand what Rinnosuke meant, so Rinnosuke gently poked her with his elbow and urged:

"Go, go!"

There was a hint of resoluteness in his tone, almost tragic, that Toki could not argue. She took one last look at Rinnosuke, then did as he had said, stood up, turned and ran into the back room.

After hearing the sound of the door locking, Rinnosuke stood up, pulled a .45 caliber revolver from a drawer on the counter, and slipped 14 rounds of spare ammunition into his trouser pocket.

He stepped out from behind the counter with a steady, unhurried pace. Five steps later, he stood between two rows of shelves in the center of the room, facing the door, his face undaunted.

"Knock, knock!"

"Jingle bell!"

The sound of banging on the door became more and more frequent, and the broken door, which was so old that the paint was peeling, didn't know how long it would last.

"It doesn't matter, I've been planning to change doors anyway. ”

Thinking so, Rinnosuke slowly raised the gun in his hand.
