Snow, it's snowing.

The day he first moved to the snow town, it seemed to have snowed so much, right?

"Miss, let's go in." The old woman appeared next to the young woman whose eyes were covered with a white silk strip at some point. I didn't even hear any footsteps, as if I had come out of the darkness, silently.

"Does the Lord still not want to see me?" The woman's voice was soft, but it was like a spring.

She knelt in the corridor under the eaves, her head slightly raised, her waist-length hair sprinkled on her cherry pink robe like a waterfall, even if her eyes were covered by white silk, it was not difficult to see her beautiful face.

"This ......" The old woman looked embarrassed, and just wanted to shake her head, but soon remembered that this young lady could no longer see anything.

"Grandma doesn't have to worry about me."

"Yes......"

"Sure enough...... Thank you, Grandma, can you leave me alone for a while? The woman turned her head to the side of the voice and smiled.

"Miss...... It's snowing, don't catch a cold...... Also, why did the old body forget...... The ghost doesn't catch a cold anymore. The old woman stood up from the woman's side, removed the shoji, and sat down on her knees again in the Japanese room. The shadow danced on the shoji and did not leave for a long time, "Miss, if you have anything to tell the old body, just shout into the house." ”

……

At that time, the snow town had not yet broken into the cloud ghost.

More than half of December has passed, and the snow in the snow country has covered the entire snow ridge thickly.

Ritsuko's home is closest to the top of the mountain in the Snow Ridge, and as soon as you go out, you can see a large white expanse on the top of the mountain, connecting to the sky.

Snow began to fall in the sky again, and the few shades of footprints on the snow were once again hidden.

"Mother, will Daddy come back for dinner today?" Young Ritsuko sat in the hallway, her feet couldn't reach the ground in the backyard, and every now and then a small snowflake would fall on her toes, which were so cool that they quickly melted into water droplets.

"Your father and he have to live in the town for the next few days, and he can't eat with us. The people of the ghost hunting team have come to the town to recruit people, and your father is an official, so it's better not to be there. "Ritsuko's mother can be regarded as a rare beauty in the town, she is not only gentle and virtuous, but also knowledgeable, and her every move reveals a kind of beautiful temperament.

According to rumors, she was originally the daughter of a large family in the royal city, and her parents once intended to marry her to the general of the dynasty as a wife, but who expected that before the marriage was decided, the daughter had already fallen in love with a down-and-out scholar who was rushing to take the exam. That is, Ritsuko's current father.

But in the end, Ritsuko's father has some ability, so it is better to say that he became a seven-grade sesame official, and in the self-sufficient and peaceful town of Snow Township, he didn't let Ritsuko's mother, who eloped with him, live a hard life.

"Shall we go to town and have dinner with Daddy?" Ritsuko looked expectantly at the woman who had picked herself up.

"No, the mountain roads on snowy nights are very dangerous, and if you get lost, it's easy to wake up the hibernating beasts."

"Then can we go and eat with Daddy tomorrow morning?"

"No, we can't disturb your daddy's work, you know?"

"Don't ......"

The woman rubbed Ritsuko's feet with her hand, and scolded softly, "Why do you run around without shoes on such a cold day, what if you catch a cold?" ”

"No, mother, I'm in good health! Yes...... Ahh Ritsuko sniffed on her nose, which was beginning to redden.

"Look at you, you even sneeze and say you're in good health? Let's go, go into the house, and my mother will make you a bowl of ginger soup. ”

The woman took her shoes from the corridor and put them on Ritsuko, and when she was about to put her down, she hugged her neck tightly and buried her face in it, "No, I want my mother's hug." ”

"Okay, okay, they're all so adults, and they love to be coquettish so much?" The woman smiled helplessly, stroked Ritsuko's long straight hair, carried her into the house, and cleared the cold wind and snow through the door.

"Mother, what is the Ghost Hunters?"

"It's a team that specializes in ghost hunting."

"And what the hell is it?"

"This ...... Mother is not very clear, your father has never told his mother about these things. ”

At that time, my mother and I didn't know that if the two of us rushed down the mountain that night, we might be able to see my father for the last time. - Ritsuko
