Chapter 2 Aftermath
After Xiyue died, Bai Mingqiu buried her in the tomb of Wuyuan.
He specially chose a sunny day to bury the sunset moon well, and on that day the purple cherry blossoms bloomed on the mound, which was a kind of breathtaking poignant beauty.
Xiyue has disappeared, so he just took the clothes that Xiyue wears on weekdays and made a clothes mound.
Huiyin pulled Meihong to the distance and waited for Bai Mingqiu, Bai Mingqiu sat in front of Xiyue's tomb, muttered a lot of words, and finally took out the wine jug he carried, took a sip, and sprinkled a little in front of Xiyue's tomb,
Bai Mingqiu and the old man Enoshima explained the situation of the setting moon. The old man Enoshima was silent for a long time, and finally sighed, saying that this is also the girl's life, Mingqiu, you bury her well, don't worry about me, the old man.
Since then, the old man's health has deteriorated, and Bai Mingqiu has taken care of him every day, but the old man has long been in love, so one day in winter, the old man also left quietly. The Enoshima family, grandfather and granddaughter, quietly left this season.
Bai Mingqiu could only sigh.
After living for so many years, he will not naively take all the responsibility for these things on himself, saying that "if you find a way to save Xiyue, then there will be no such tragedy", that is what young people say, what young people say that fighting with the sky is against the sky, it is all empty words, living like Bai Mingqiu, only to know that there are many things that cannot be reversed by manpower, only to accept.
The funeral of the old man of Enoshima was undertaken by the family of Yamalanji, the old man of Yamalanji and he have been close friends for decades, the friendship between the two is so deep that only they themselves know, Bai Mingqiu attended the funeral, and the old man of Yama drank wine with him for a night at night, and the two of them didn't talk much, just drank shallowly. At the end, the old man of the mountain sighed "the world is impermanent", and was carried to sleep by the children and grandchildren of the family, Bai Mingqiu walked alone on the snow path on the winter night, and the depression in his heart was like snow that could not be dissolved.
Winter is a season of recuperation, Huiyin as a demon beast, there will be a long time to sleep every day, for safety reasons, but also to help Bai Mingqiu relax, Huiyin called Sister Hong and Bai Mingqiu to live in the temple house, for Sister Hong This is an annual practice, but Bai Mingqiu has been in Gensokyo for more than half a year, and has not lived in other people's homes, which is also a new experience. Bai Mingqiu moved here for half a month, and in the company and care of Meihong and Huiyin, he felt a lot of relief.
In mid-December, under the quiet contact of Huiyin, Bai Mingqiu was invited to live in the Xianglin Hall of Mori Jinlinnosuke, and Mori Jinlinnosuke happened to have a lot of things to ask Bai Mingqiu, and the two tinkered with a lot of things from the outside world, and it was not until early January that Bai Mingqiu moved back to his cabin.
After Bai Mingqiu's mood replied a little bit, he was thinking more about such a thing. With the state of mind of his reincarnation of the seventh life, Xiyue will inevitably be sad after his death, although he will definitely be able to see it in the end, but many of them are unavoidable. If I died four years later, how heartbroken would it be for Huiyin, who regarded me as the most important person in my life, and Meihong, who introduced me as my only two best friends?
A seventh-generation traveler who has seen through life and death until he sees through life and death is still like this, let alone these two girls who have lived for thousands of years, but have never died?
But how do you continue your life? What is the reason why you must die at the age of twenty-five? How can it be avoided?
Bai Mingqiu was at a loss, as dazed as the vast snowfield outside the house.
――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――
Bai Mingqiu still has some things to deal with in the human world in the afternoon.
It's spring, you need to buy some crop seeds to cultivate, and it's good to go to the flower shop to buy some flower seeds to decorate the environment. Then I bought some wine, and by the way, I went to the temple house to see Huiyin, and I had to clean up the shop.
Thinking of Huiyin's thousands of instructions, "If you come to the world, come to the temple house, Huiyin wants to see Mingqiu", Bai Mingqiu smiled helplessly. Xiaoyin used to like sticky people, but it hasn't changed after a thousand years, and it's even worse.
Bai Mingqiu was not slow, when he arrived at Renli, he first went to the boss he knew to buy some seeds, and then went to the shop where he was handed down last time to clean up. I haven't been here for a month, and a lot of dust has accumulated in this store, and it took Bai Mingqiu more than half an hour to clean it up. Then I went to the market and bought some more fruit to bring to Huiyin. Thinking of bringing wine and flowers when he went back, Bai Mingqiu walked to the temple house, and there was a sound of children frolicking inside, it seemed that the winter vacation was over, and classes had already started.
Bai Mingqiu walked in and saw a group of children playing eagles and catching chickens, chasing and chasing, and some children were reading and writing.
Bai Mingqiu walked past the group of children with a smile, Huiyin was not in the courtyard, that was in the study, walked to the study, and knocked on the door.
"Please come in."
"Huiyin, I've come to see you." Bai Mingqiu said with a smile.
Huiyin was writing at the desk, and when she saw Bai Mingqiu entering the door, she said happily: "Mingqiu, you're here, I haven't been here for almost a week, I miss you so much." ”
"Haven't I come?" Bai Mingqiu put the fruit basket he was carrying in his hand in a corner of the study, "I bought you some fruit." ”
Huiyin said angrily: "What's polite." ”
So saying, she took two apples from the basket and said, "Come, one for each person." So they sat down in their study and nibbled on apples.
After eating halfway, Huiyin asked, "Is there anything wrong with Mingqiu coming today?" ”
"That's what Huiyin said, you have to come and see you when you come to the people, otherwise you're still angry with me." Bai Mingqiu joked.
"So you remember." Huiyin smiled, "That's what I asked, I'm afraid you forgot." ”
Bai Mingqiu took a bite of the apple: "But if you say that, I really remember something." What happened to that tavern at the Yuzuki family? ”
"I asked Shanlan Temple that day, don't worry about Mingqiu, the tavern should have a proper arrangement, and no matter how bad it is, the Shanlan Temple family will take care of it." Huiyin said eloquently, "Xiyue's last wish is indeed regrettable, but this is also something that cannot be helped. Lao Enoshima went too fast, and if he didn't entrust the tavern to anyone, the land would become public property in the village, and the distribution would have to be decided by the people, and I would not be able to interfere. ”
Bai Mingqiu waved his hand: "It's okay, the village should be able to make a good decision, and Xiyue will be pleased." ”
He sighed softly: "It's just a pity, Xiyue's last wish, I can only complete four, and two will never be completed." ”
"Four?"
"Bury her in the Tomb of No Chance, burn her diary, don't forget her, be good to the two of you..."
"And grandpa's body and the tavern, right?"
"Hmm." Bai Mingqiu replied in a low voice.
Huiyin walked behind Bai Mingqiu and gently stroked his back.
After a long time, Bai Mingqiu chuckled lightly and stood up: "I should also go, I have to go buy something later, Huiyin, you haven't finished this lesson yet, so I won't stay longer." ”
"Hmm." Huiyin nodded and sent Bai Mingqiu all the way out of the temple house.
Seeing Bai Mingqiu go away, Huiyin returned to the temple house, and was about to say something, when a little girl ran to her side, and the cute child's voice said sweetly: "Teacher, teacher! ”
"Huh?"
"That big brother often comes to the temple house, na, is he the person the teacher likes?" The little girl blinked her bright eyes and looked like a curious baby, and a group of children next to her also pricked up their ears and turned their eyes together.
Huiyin smiled like a flower, touched the little girl's head, and said softly: "Chiyo, that big brother is a person that the teacher likes, I like it very much, I like it for a long time." ”
The little girl nodded as if she didn't understand, and the children around her originally wanted to coax, but when they saw Huiyin's expression, they all fell silent for some reason.
Huiyin was stunned, put away her reminiscing eyes, and said, "It's class, let's go back to our positions." ”
She walked over to the podium and began to lecture.

Ps:
There's something to do today, it's a little late.
The problem of flower tea, not to mention that flower tea is not originally made of petals, and I really don't think that Hua Ma cares about the life and death of a few flowers. Everything eventually has its own belonging, and it is impossible for the big monster not to understand this truth, but it is very novel that flowers can be made into tea.
That's it.
