"Yes, I see."

Although a little dazed, Mamura nodded in agreement, and I was relieved to stand up before Mika urged them again, and helped them make the final corrections to the snowman. Soon a beautiful snowman was baked, with complete limbs and facial features, and even the clothes were made in a concave and convex way, which looked quite beautiful.

Mika crossed her waist and looked at the snowman with satisfaction, like a little adult. Saze lowered her head and curled her red hair with her fingers, which was her little habit, and she would do it unconsciously whenever she was unhappy. She was quite happy just now, but in a blink of an eye, she became sullen.

Mika and Mamura didn't notice this, but I was very familiar with her habits, and I immediately noticed a change in her psychology.

"Yarn, homesick?"

I walked over to Sa's side and asked softly.

"I don't know how my mother is."

Yarn has never left the experience of home and her mother, and she doesn't know what it feels like to be lonely and lonely, but when she saw the direction of home just now, she suddenly felt empty in her heart, and she unconsciously remembered her mother.

"It's okay, when the snow festival is over, Miss Liuzhi will be back."

I went back to my old job and comforted the yarn: "Yarn, soon you will have a sister, you should be happy." ”

"Yes, thank you."

Sasha looked up and smiled, but her eyes were a little red, and she could see that she was still a little depressed. I was about to continue to comfort a few words, but suddenly there was a whistling sound in my ears, my scalp was a little numb, I subconsciously turned my head, and I saw a white sphere flying past the corner of my eye.

"......Shh

Unwilling boos came from the position where the white sphere flew in, and the girl with a double ponytail tied with a beautiful black ribbon pointed at me with one hand, and grabbed a ball of snowballs with the other hand to throw it over: "Fold it, stand up and smash it for me, and I'll forgive you!" ”

"I'm going to smash it too."

Mika followed, she grabbed a ball of snow and kneaded it into a ball, and stood with the girl on the united front.

"You two...... Why? ”

I shrugged at the girl below the slope, Rina Ogata, one of my companions who was still willing to play with me after "that incident" and a member of our gang of six. Kindness...... Anyway, it's a very dignified girl.

"Please think for yourself about this question."

Rina had a straight face, a look of displeasure.

"Why ......"

Meijia's eyes turned around a few times, and suddenly saw Sha's reddened eyes, so she pulled it out as a reason: "I said you can't bully Sha, you see, Sha's eyes are red, you must have bullied her." ”

"There's no such thing."

I tried to defend myself, but I was whirled by the oncoming snow and sat down on the snow. Before I could stand up, another snowball hit me, and I hurriedly put my head in my hands to avoid being hit in the face.

"Don't quibble, watch the ball."

Mika held back a smile as she grabbed the snow and threw it at me, wheezing and laughing. But she didn't notice that Rina next to her was looking at her with slanted eyes, and raised the snowball in her hand and shook it hard.

"Rina, what are you doing!"

Mika screamed, and Rina was less than two steps away from her, and the snowball was dropped precisely to her neck, and a lot of snow powder seeped into her clothes through the gaps in the scarf, making her shiver with cold.

"Punishment, this is a punishment for you. I can't believe it, I haven't seen each other for almost a month, and you guys don't even come to me when you get together. ”

Rina pinched two more balls and threw them at me and the absent-minded Mamura, and I reached out to pat away the flying snowballs, but Mamura didn't notice the danger at all, and didn't glare at Rina angrily until she was smashed in the chest. He crouched down and grabbed two clumps of snow, intending to fight back.

Mamura and I have both suffered from the seedlings, but the yarn is safe and sound, she is the darling of our team, she is a treasure that is afraid of falling in her hands and afraid of melting in her mouth, so she has always had privileges, and she has immunity regardless of any punishment.

I remember a few days after accidentally scaring the yarn, I almost drowned in the spittle that I didn't blame.

"Rina, this statement is too cunning, we originally planned to go to you and Xin for a while. And no matter how you say it, it's not good, it's obviously that I'm late. ”

Mika was attacked by a sneak attack and fought back, and the snowball that was originally thrown at me was thrown at Rina, but Rina was quickly dodged, but she couldn't dodge the snowball that Mamura quietly thrown, and it hit her side face.

"True Village, you actually sneak attacked!"

Rina gritted her teeth in anger, grabbed the snow and threw it at the real village: "Stop! I've got to let you know it's amazing! ”

"You were the one who struck first."

Mamura grimaced while dodging: "Listen to your words and be stupid." ”

"You're stupid! Yes...... Mika, go away! ”

Meijia secretly hugged Rina from behind, and proudly waved towards Mamura: "Mamura, smash her, smash her." ”

However, before she could get complacent, she was hit in the face by a snowball thrown by Mamura with Rina with Rina, and then she turned into attacking Mamura with Rina. The scene quickly became a mess, the three children threw snowballs at each other, you hit me, I smashed you, and in a blink of an eye, it became a chase and frolic, which perfectly highlighted the child's nature.

I sighed, and the air I exhaled turned into a small column of water vapor when it was cold, which looked very conspicuous. In my previous life, I lived near the equator, a southern coastal city, and I had almost never seen snow.

Without snow, I wouldn't have experienced snowball fights. So now watching a few children have a snowball fight, I feel a little emotional and envious in my heart.

But envy is envy, but it's still a little difficult for me to integrate into this kind of playfulness. In other words, it is actually the self-esteem of adults who think that children's behavior is too childish and shameful - although I can accurately dissect my own mental activity and the mental activity of others, my mindset will not be easily changed by understanding.

"It's incredible."

I heard the murmur of yarn in my ears, and I came back to my senses, only to realize that I had almost forgotten the yarn. I turned my head and saw that she had been standing beside me all along, and was now looking up at me, her crystal clear eyes unblinking, like a newborn animal, full of curiosity and inquiry, but also a little timid and afraid.

"What's wrong? Suddenly, he said so. ”

"Even though he was the same age as us, he always took care of us like a big brother and never got angry or quarreled with other people. And ......"

Yarn kept looking at me, her eyes were a little dazed, as if she was seeing something else in me. But soon she shook her head again, and whispered to herself, "How can it be, I think too much."

I couldn't hear the mumbling of the yarn, but when she looked at me with strange eyes, I suddenly had a strange feeling, I felt that the petite figure standing in front of me vaguely coincided with a certain slender and beautiful figure, and the different eyes revealed similar thoughts and explorations—that was the feeling and impression that belonged to Miss Liuzhi.

I feel puzzled, although the yarn in front of me and Miss Liuzhi are mother and daughter, but there is actually a world of difference between the two, body shape, physique, personality, hairstyle...... Obviously there is such a big difference, but I inexplicably feel that the two have a strange commonality - Miss Liuzhi may be exactly the same as yarn when she was young, right? I'm almost stubbornly holding on to this perception.

It not only refers to the facial features, but also has an invisible fit between the two of them. If you have to describe it in one way, it's like different computers using the same system software, and recently I even think that the two of them are lives carved out of the same mold, or the same person in different time periods - Yarn is Miss Liuzhi in her childhood, and Miss Liuzhi is Yarn's adulthood - this is simply inexplicable, and it can even be said that I don't know what to know and guess, but I can't help but believe it.

Of course, this may just be my delusion. I do not have the power to "see" the soul, and this feeling is also produced after the existence of the faith is clear, as if vaguely I can occasionally feel an invisible message from others, which is inexplicable enough to be listed in words and pictures, but I feel that it is a perceptual message that has a strong personal impression like a smell or an impression—it is not always ineffective, and it is neither true nor falsifyable.

So I think it's more akin to an illusion, like immediacy. The reason for this is probably that my psyche has been affected by the psychological changes that have taken place since I gained the power of faith - I guessed and tried to find the mysterious sixth sense that flickered like a little mouse.

"That's because the materials God uses to make me are different."

I joke appropriately, generally adults will hide the truth about the birth of their children when they are young, and use all kinds of fairy tales or lies to prevaricate the children's curiosity. Perhaps the most popular version is that God created babies from a variety of materials and then gave them to parents who prayed for them. At the end, there is always a sentence "because the materials used are different, so everyone is different", which is a set of standard statements.

"Fold, liar...... I knew how the baby appeared, and my mother told me. ”

Sha came back to her senses, pursed her lips and snickered, a little proud: "Zhe always likes to deceive people with this kind of talk, just like other adults, but he can't fool me." ”

"That's a pity."

I shrugged my shoulders and tried to tease me, but remembering that Yarn wasn't my age after all, I finally took back the words that came to my lips.

"Well, so what...... Fold, promise me, okay? ”

Sha looked at me with sparkling eyes, she bit her lip, her eyes revealed a little nervousness and determination: "Please never deceive me, if there is something you can't say to me, then just keep silent to me." I don't want to become hated one day, and if it becomes like that, I won't be able to stand it. Because...... Because folding is the person I look forward to the most, if one day I become disgusted with folding, then I will definitely be broken, I will become disgusted with everyone, I will become only able to believe, I can only like myself, I don't want to be like this. ”

I was dumbfounded, facing the serious gaze of the veil, and suddenly I didn't know what to say. This veil reminds me of the moment when I first met her, in the library full of large bookshelves and books, the girl was alone holding a thick book, although she couldn't read it, she was very serious and hard to read, and she looked like she was reading with relish. When someone approached her, she would close the book and hold it in her hand, making a calm appearance without squinting, but in fact her eyes were full of guard and detachment, like a frightened little animal that would run away at any moment.

Although it is not appropriate to say this, the yarn at that time gave me the feeling of being a spirit out of the world, full of spiritual and independent beauty. She is like a phoenix bird that does not want to break its shell, blocking everything in the outside world with a thick shell, whether it is good or bad, she doesn't pay attention, she just enjoys the joys, sorrows and sorrows of a person in the eggshell, and does not want to be with the world.

Shell, both her protector and her companion. The world in the shell is all she has. At that time, I rushed forward and shattered her perfect shell, is this right or wrong?

Perhaps at that moment, her fate has been taken in an unknown direction by me, and I ...... Do you really have the idea and persistence to take on this responsibility?

I don't know any of this, or I can't be sure what my fate will be, so I can't know the fate of others. What do I want to get, what do I want to do, what I live for...... These are questions that I can't answer even myself. But...... I have a bond that I want to protect, and although I don't know if I can end it from the beginning and never change, but now, this emotion is so passionate. Then at least at this moment, I can use words to confirm my heart, to hold on to it, to turn it into a kind of bondage to the self.

"As for me, I want to protect some people and some things. Actually, there is no danger, I just think that everything is fine now, so I don't want to change, and I don't want to say goodbye to the life I like one day - this includes yarn, so since yarn doesn't like it, I will never deceive you. Kindness...... Of course, jokes don't count. ”

I don't know what I look like now, but I think it must be solemn, serious enough to make people feel bored, so I deliberately added funny words. Yarn was really amused, pursed her lips and chuckled: "En." Fold, thank you. ”

"Really! Fold, you're whispering to yarn again. ”

There was a heavy pat on the shoulder, and Mika came over complaining, followed by Mamura and Rina behind her. It seems that the snow war of the three people has come to an end, but each of them has become snow-white at the moment, and the sticky white snow powder is covered with hair and clothes, and they all look very embarrassed.

"That...... You don't get snow in your clothes, do you? In case the snow melts in the clothes, it is wet and it is easy to catch a cold. ”

Because the three of them were covered in snow, I couldn't help but worry that there were only a few days left before the snow festival, and it would be terrible if they couldn't participate in the snow festival because of a cold.

"It's okay, there's no snow in my clothes, just take a picture of the outside."

Rina patted the snowflakes off her body, as if she had foreseen the situation, and the placket and cuffs of her clothes were tightly covered, and no snowflakes could fall into it. After straightening up her smooth black hair, she tied it back with a black ribbon: "But Mika and Mamura must be snowing in their clothes, so hurry back and change their clothes." ”

"It's not all about Rina, you're embarrassed to say it."

Mika puffed out her cheeks angrily, like a bun face, and she glared at Rina: "On purpose, you must have done it on purpose!" ”

"Oops...... Who knows? It's just that your hand slips. ”

Rina looked at the sky casually, so angry that Mika was about to grab the snow and throw it in her face, seeing this scene, I hurriedly stretched out my hand to stop it, so that I could save the war that was about to break out again, and asked Mika and Mamura to hurry back and change their clothes to avoid catching a cold.

When Mika angrily went home with Mamura to change clothes, I mentioned to Rina about participating in the Snow Festival team competition, and she easily nodded yes.

"By the way, when Meijia and the others come back, we will go to Xin together and ask him if he wants to participate together."

Xin's full name is Insubachi Xin, the last of our six-member group, and his personality is relatively taciturn, even when we play together, he seems a little out of place - this child has a slight depression and maintains a detached attitude towards anyone, I suspect that it may be an endogenous pathology, or perhaps due to a previous occupational illness, I am more concerned about him.

"Heart...... Heart? ”

Rina suddenly became hesitant, she opened her mouth, and sighed: "I just went to look for him, and he said that he didn't want to go out recently, and probably won't participate together." So there's no need to waste your efforts. ”

"That's right."

I nodded thoughtfully, although I wanted to correct and treat this little friend, but my current body is undoubtedly not convincing and positional.

"The heart always gives people a very tired feeling."

There was a worried color in Sa's eyes, because of the silent nature of the heart, she actually didn't have a good relationship with him, and the two could only say that they met because of me. But despite this, Yarn also cares about him as much as everyone else.

"There's no way around it, all we can do is enlighten him as much as we can."

Rina let out a small sigh, looked at Sha and smiled: "Speaking of which, Sha is about to become a sister, congratulations." ”

"Rina, thank you."

"Speaking of which, did you take my sister's name?"

"Dongzi, my mother said that because she will be born in winter, she is called Dongzi."

"Fuyuko? Six Senses Dongzi, it's very good. ”

"No, no, she should be called Fuyuko Kuchigi."

Sasha shook her head and bit her lip: "Grandma is an only child, so she has always hoped that a child can inherit her family name, so my mother decided to let Dongzi follow her grandmother's surname, so it ...... Fuyuko Kuchigi. ”

"Eh......"

Rina was speechless in surprise, and it was the first time I heard about it, but I wasn't surprised, this was just an alternative adoptive. Although it will cause a slight estrangement, it should not be too much of a problem.

After that, the three of us hid in the cabin and chatted, and soon Mika and Mamura changed their clothes and rushed over, and we huddled in the cabin and lit a small fire, and discussed what kind of work to carve for the snow festival competition while baking the fire. In the end, it is a fish, carved into a human standing up, jumping out of the water, the size of our body, the appearance is the more common style of the pot-bellied goldfish.

After the division of labor was discussed, the melodious "Homecoming" resounded on the fields, accompanied by the evening breeze and transmitted to every corner of Kamisu 66 Town. We extinguished the flames in the furnace, agreed on the time of our next meeting, and waved goodbye at the foot of the hill.
