November 4th, 4 a.m

I don't know when I found out.,The cherry blossoms in the courtyard never bloom.,The first thing was asked by others.,Later, it was the excuse of the court master.,And then the girl's concealment.

I noticed that "she" had to bloom, for no reason, I just wanted "her" to bloom

But how? The girl thought

I asked my friends to bring the water of the three rivers, but the flowers did not bloom

He ordered the court master to dig up a hundred miles of soil, but the flowers did not bloom

And then, I was powerless

Your friends need to strengthen the enchantment, and it's hard to enjoy the scenery with them

His court master has gone to travel all over the world, and it is difficult to carry a knife to inspect the courtyard building

But "she" must be open, since water cannot be soaked and soil cannot be buried, then it should be nourished with "heaven" and cultivated with "soul".

"Lord Yuyuko, you're all ready," the silver-haired girl knelt down and said sternly

"Hmm" she nodded, a flash of excitement in her red pupils

"Let's wait for the spring of Gensokyo to make the westward demon bloom again."

————————————————————————————————————— dividing line X2

"Lady Zi, are you still sleeping?" Yakumo Blue - Yakumo Purple's fox-like god knocked on the door and said respectfully, "Although it is rude, winter has passed, and you should also come out for a routine checkup"

"Winter is over? Hmm" There was a sound of rustling in the room, and then Yakumo Purple was dressed obscenely. Clothes opened the door "No, winter hasn't passed yet"

"Judging from the time of Gensokyo, it's really May," Yakumo Lan hurriedly explained, "Spring has arrived."

"But the flowers outside haven't bloomed, the snow hasn't stopped, and in my eyes, it seems that spring hasn't arrived yet" Yakumo Purple said coldly, "Go out, don't bother me anymore"

"Lord Lan, Lord Lan! Look! The little girl with two tails behind her ran over happily with a ball of snow in her hand: "Look, look! ”

"Orange! How many times have I said it! To play in the snow, you must bring the gloves that the shopkeeper gave you! Yakumo Lan scolded: "Wait a minute, what if your hands are frozen again?" ”

"Lord Lan, look first, look, look!" Orange lifted the snow in his hand a little higher

"What's there to see, it's just a ball of snow?" Yakumo Blue was suddenly stunned: "Strange, where did the cherry blossoms come from?" ”

"Sakura?" Yakumo, who was about to go back to his room to continue sleeping, said in surprise, "Orange, show me"

"Yes, Purple-sama" Orange immediately trotted in front of Yakumo Murasaki

"It's really Sakura," Yakumo Murasaki whispered, "What's going on?" ”

"Purple-sama, it's just a cherry blossom petal, don't think about it so much" Yakumo Lan advised, she knew Yakumo Murasaki's temper, and once she whispered, she must have a big thing on her mind

"Also, it's just a petal, it can only be regarded as rare, not unusual" Yakumo Zi casually threw the petal aside, and then closed the door "Before the winter passes, don't bother me again"

"Yes," Yakumo saluted, and then took Orange to the tearoom, where she had to teach Orange homework

Yakumo lay down on the bed and covered herself with a quilt

"Will it come after all?" a dull voice echoed in the empty room, "Yuyuko, how long do you still have to worry about the past?" ”

"I have no choice but to call him again," Yakumo Zi finally chose that path, "at most, help him appropriately"

—————————————————————————————————— dividing line from the outside world

"You say this bottle is just an ordinary catalyst?" Chong is texting on his phone, "Are you sure there's nothing wrong?" ”

"Question me?" Soon the news came back

"No, it's not questioning, it's just"

"I can't say that no one can do anything when it comes to medicine, but it's easy for me to tell what a drug does, and there are drugs that stimulate the leylines that can't be made by humans."

"Understood," Chong replied

"To ensure justice, I'll sue you for one more inconsequential matter" There was another message in the inbox: "The medicine you gave me contains a strange ingredient"

"What ingredients?" Chong immediately asked, but he was typing much faster than himself

"A scientific name is the leaf of sweet firefly, you can check the relevant information for yourself," he said, "and one more thing, do you strictly follow the menu I gave you?"

"Yes," Chong replied

"Well, then I'm hanging, I'm not in the real yàn room for a while, don't contact me again"

"Sweet fireflies" Chong entered the Internet search after exiting the text message column

"Sweet fireflies, popularly known as fairy flowers, are mostly used as sugar, can be tasted, no danger to the human body, and cannot be used as medicine" Chongyue looked at it more and more surprised, was Yakumo Purple giving herself a bottle of syrup?

"Is there anything else behind" Looking at the relevant links below, Chong decisively clicked in

"Eat more with dragon fruit, lychee, and safflower, isn't this still a recipe?" said Chong

“？” Chong suddenly noticed that there was a URL with no direct link next to his related introduction, so he copied and pasted it (your phone is really high-end) and logged in to the search column again

"Sweet Firefly is lethal enough to use as a gas bomb against youkai" Chong looked at the blood-red title and felt a little wrong, so he hurriedly swiped the screen down

"This practice is rarely understood, because the sweet firefly is too difficult to find, and at the same time, it tastes very good, so others often use it to make seasonings and sell them at a high price, but the monster can't take it, or even smell it, otherwise the limbs will be weak and the speech will be slurred" Chong turned down again

"If it is stewed together with several other herbs, the lethality will be extremely considerable, and the youkai who smell it will fall into a state of severe fainting, and if it is not treated in time, it will be life-threatening," Chong clicked on the last page

"If it is taken orally, or indirectly, then the monster itself will lose consciousness, the effect is like hypnosis, and the effect will last for about three days, but the probability of making it orally is extremely small, because the sweet firefly has a great impact on the monster's sense of smell and taste, and it takes a long time for the medicinal power to work, even if it is a bottle of full filling, it will take more than half a year to work, and only three pieces of mint need to be eaten to dispel the effect."

(What does this mean) Chong felt a little puzzled, which means that this medicine is a weapon of mass destruction for monsters, but it is very easy to crack, so isn't it just a waste? And even if Yakumo Zi wants to do something, he should be asked to pour the medicine into the water source or food, why should he pour it into the land?

"I knew I should have asked him to send several other ingredients together" The call light on the mobile phone has been turned off, and it seems that it is not in the service area

"Click" seems to be a strange sound coming from under the feet

"Brush~~~~" Okay, got it

Of course, he will not repeat the mistakes of the past, this time he deliberately adjusted the angle and position, so that he can stand firmly in the snow?

(Is there a deviation in the time and outside ratio here?) Looking at the white expanse in front of him, he couldn't help but think, and this time span is not ordinarily large, the winter in Japan starts in January, and if you want to snow, you have to wait until at least the end of February, but Gensokyo here is already snowy, and there is at least one season of difference

Chong shook his head, it's impossible, besides, he hasn't even built a snowman, let alone a snowball fight, the only time he hit it almost crooked someone's neck, or just hang out for a while, the ghost has that idleness, he still has something to do, and he can't waste time here all the time

"Human beings, are you human beings?" a faint inquiry sounded, "What are you doing here?"

Chong looked back, a white-haired young man was standing there with a bamboo basket looking at him, he still had a pair of glasses on his eyes, and he was wearing the same clothes as the last time Bo Li Reimu borrowed himself, is it someone that Hakuri Reimu knows?

"With two knives around his waist, one with jade and one without jade, he is about twenty years old, and he is wearing clothes from the outside world" He looked at himself and counted his eyes, "Have you solved the outside world who has solved the red mist mutation?"

Chong didn't answer, just looked at his bamboo basket, handhelds, fresh-keeping bags, alarm clocks, Coke bottles, mice, batteries, lunch boxes, iron forks, toy racing cars, and CDs, there were so many types

"These are all things that you outsiders don't want, I just picked them up," he said lightly, "It's just legal to pick up waste"

Chong nodded in understanding

"So what are you doing this time," he asked, "there's nothing you need to do here, you can go back."

But the point is that I didn't want to come over on my own

"For the sake of safety, I advise you to leave early, although in the winter those monsters don't like to come out to forage, but as long as they find food, they will not hesitate to pounce on it and bite it," he said and paused, "If you don't listen."

"Do you want to fight?" Chong put his hand on the scabbard

"Put away your knife, although I am weaker, but it will be easy to overturn you" He sighed "I am not often and I am not good at using force with people, I am a businessman, if it is a bad guest, I will never take the initiative to take action against passers-by"

"I just want to say that if you don't listen, go to the Hakurei Shrine or the Forest of Magic, and if you don't have the Red Devil Pavilion, you can go too" He glanced at the cross around his neck, "There are some things that you can't solve"

"There is a mutation, this snow is a mutation, the time of Gensokyo is half a year different from the outside world, and the score is exactly the same, so this time is spring" He walked away against the wind and snow, "but it has been more than a month, but the wind and snow have not stopped, and it is estimated that it is soon"

"Then I said goodbye," he said coldly, and then his figure disappeared into the sudden blizzard

"I'd like to go to Hakurei Shrine now, too, but that's the point

——— I don't know the way

postscript

"Shopkeeper, are you back" Sixteen Night Sakuya looked at the young man covered with snowflakes and smiled, "I heard that the shopkeeper of Xianglintang doesn't like to go out in winter, but now I look at it and the rumors are false."

"No, I really don't like going out in winter, but it's not winter anymore," he said lightly

"Hehe, it seems that the shopkeeper has the same idea as me" Sixteen Nights somehow had an extra towel in his hand, which was covered with snow

"Don't mess around with your abilities here," he put down the sundries in the bamboo basket and sat back on the table, "If you want to buy, you can choose what you want, the price is up to me, and you won't sell anything without a famous brand."

"Do you have fuel here? And coffee beans," Sixteen Nights asked, fiddling with the small items on the container

"Coffee beans are still in stock, but the fuel refuses to be sold," he said lightly, "My fuel is also provided by others, and now I can barely meet the needs of the small shop."

"Isn't it okay to increase the price?"

"No, it's our rules."

"Then please pack the coffee beans."

"Wait a minute," he said, heading toward the backyard

"By the way, shopkeeper, I have something I want to ask you."

"If you ask the cause of the change, go west, and when you see the cherry blossoms, it means that you have arrived" An indifferent voice came, "The rest of the small shops don't provide anything"

"When I went to the world, I heard the rumor that "Sixteen Nights will put the dolls in their hands in their place" There is a small shop called Xianglintang in the Forest of Magic, most of the items sold in the store are from the outside world, and the shopkeeper himself is also a very interesting person, although he is a half-demon but has a calm and thick personality, and there is no threat to humans"

"Thank you," he thinly divided the coffee beans in his hand, and then picked out the sturdy ones and packed them

"In particular, another rumor is even more interesting," Sixteen Nights smiled, "Do you want to hear about it?"

"If I say that I don't sell the goods, I'm interested, not intentionally," he shook his crumbs

"They say the owner's shop and the place where it is located is very strange."

"The coffee beans are packed, thirty wen" he walked out of the backyard, and interrupted the words of Sixteen Nights, "If it's okay, please leave, I still have something to do"

"I'm sorry to bother you before you even open the shop, I'll come back to visit later," Sixteen Ye bowed and paid and left

"If you run into someone else on the way," his voice came from behind, "just take him with you."

"Understood," Sixteen Night nodded, "Definitely"

"Is it strange?" he shook his head after confirming that Sixteen Nights Sakiya was gone, "Who the hell is talking nonsense about the descendants of the barnyard family?"

"It's really a little reluctant to give away my own treasure," he looked at the ancient sword leaning against the book and sighed, "Buying and selling at a loss, although I changed a set of books about external technology (32 books), as well as an external demon and a manual (computer + manual, and warranty), but it was still heartache"

"Should it be said to be retribution, it was exchanged for a pile of scrap iron" he smiled bitterly, "Forget it, it's not your own thing anyway, just send it"

"The sword is still given to the hero."
