92, Chapter 92

For Fanning, this winter is particularly cold.

He often thinks that he is not the kind of person who can be the protagonist.

He sits on the steps, looking at the sky outside. The sky in the distance is gray.

The male protagonists in comics are always sunny and resilient. No matter which protagonist, there seems to be a little shining point in human nature.

But now he feels that he can't find his shining point.

He walks along a long street, not knowing where he is going, nor where his destination is.

…

Yuan Yuanyuan sits in the house, calculating the little money she has left. Tang Shi comes over and asks her what she is doing. She says, "I'm thinking... why not find a little monster to help me look after the store? I always feel that no one dares to come when I stay here..."

"Isn't that enough for me? What kind of clerk do you want to hire for someone like you?" Tang Shi said.

"I'm not so guilty as to let a high school student work for me. You should work on your English." Yuan Yuanyuan said. She really wanted to find a little monster.

A little monster?... A young monster like Tang Shi may not know much about the situation here, but Yuan Yuanyuan thinks it's easy to find a little monster in this city who is willing to work for her and provide food and accommodation.

At least Yuan Yuanyuan was willing to do it a year ago.

Although this may sound like exploiting the working people... but to be honest, Yuan Yuanyuan is just a poor peasant.

She really felt bad seeing this house empty. She planned to make a little money by making clothes at the beginning, but after two big explosions of demonic energy, no monster on the whole street was willing to come to her place.

According to the reaction brought back by Tang Shi, people outside said that there was a monster that ate children in the house... It was said that it was an old monster with a very evil appearance and temperament, and liked to secretly capture little monsters to practice strange magic.

So now Yuan Yuanyuan is treated the same as General Zhang Liao in this place, and can stop children from crying at night.

However, Yuan Yuanyuan couldn't stop making clothes. Even if no one came to buy, she always felt uncomfortable looking at the empty house. There was not a single piece of clothing in a clothing store. Yuan Yuanyuan's professional ethics did not allow her to do this, so she had to make it.

Once you make it, you have to get raw materials, and once you get raw materials, you have to spend money...

So far, Yuan Yuanyuan has made enough clothes to fill a room, so she has stopped making clothes recently. What she needs to worry about now is not whether there are enough clothes, but whether these clothes can be sold before they are eaten by insects.

"When will the broken blue cover outside be removed? It's so ugly, so annoying!" Yuan Yuanyuan lay on the table, rolling like a salted fish.

"It will be removed in two days, why are you in such a hurry?" Tang Shi looked at Yuan Yuanyuan's dying struggle, walked over speechlessly to pull up the curtain, and then walked back to continue reading her magic book.

Yuan Yuanyuan stopped rolling and began to stand on the table.

"You are the same, the clothes you make are all very beautiful, but you release evil spirits for no reason, and you refuse to tell the outside world that the big monster who has been protecting the juvenile area is you, so now several monster classmates I know take a detour when they come here..." Tang Shi said, "Just put a sign on the door, next to your shop owner who is not there all year round, and write that you are the big monster, and I guarantee that your clothes will sell out within a day."

"Hey... sometimes, things are not that simple." Yuan Yuanyuan lay on the table like a salted fish.

"...What do you want to say? Are you saying that the adult world is complicated like my dad? What's complicated about me going here? I just sell clothes. Although my brain is not very good, you adults can't always fool me like this." Tang Shi complained.

Yuan Yuanyuan thought, you still know that we always fool you...

"Help me see how to do this, I don't understand..."

Yuan Yuanyuan moved her head over and continued to look at the things in Tang Shi's notebook in this indifferent way. After taking a look, she moved her head back, "This sentence..."

For Yuan Yuanyuan today, she just finished reading the update of the last issue. This week is a temporary end for her. Although the discussion on the Internet is still boiling, Yuan Yuanyuan feels that the last issue did not draw anything that bothered her too much.

Except for that style of painting...

Yuan Yuanyuan's face was full of black lines when she thought of that style of painting. In fact, this kind of comics that even draw every move are really a bit too disgusting, which makes her a little uncomfortable.

It's just like a reality show... exposing a person's privacy to others.

When she was fighting that day, she had many small moves of her own. In fact, she fought on top because she didn't want the monsters below to see her face and movements. As a result, this time... the comics directly put all her efforts into vain.

"Shopkeeper, what have you been doing all this time? Every time I see you, you look so decadent. I feel that you are exactly the same as the unemployed vagrants who live a life of eating, sleeping and waiting for death that I imagined." Tang Shi next to her said.

Yuan Yuanyuan glanced at Tang Shi. Of course, she would not say that her usual work and rest schedule was to work while heating wine and memorizing books at night, and only have a little time to catch up on sleep during the day.

So during the day, in Tang Shi's eyes, she, the shopkeeper, had always looked like a salty fish with a weak kidney... Tang Shi once said that Yuan Yuanyuan, who looked so decadent, could turn into a big monster. The world was really unfair, and now she You have to be decadent every day and wait to become a big monster.

Then she was beaten by Yuan Yuanyuan.

Yuan Yuanyuan was lying on the table, looking at the tree outside the window at an elevated angle.

Recently, she has re-consolidated the "one-leaf blindness" that she learned some time ago. For her, this one-leaf blindness becomes more and more profound the more she learns it. There are many things in it that she only partially understands, and she only half understands them.

It was obviously just a three-sentence magic formula, but her notebook was already filled with three volumes.

Tang Shi looked at the shopkeeper who was lying on the table and was sitting a little straighter, but not too straight. He was still half leaning against the wall behind him.

He gently picked up the tea cup, looked at the half-cooled cup and blew in. The tea leaves in the cup floated in the cup with his breath.

The cold wind outside the window suddenly stopped, as if it was suddenly covered with a barrier.

The sound like a devil's roar outside the house suddenly stopped.

The world in my ears suddenly became quiet, as if I was watching something suddenly change from extremely moving to extremely quiet.

This change was so fast that it was impossible to ignore it. Tang Shi put down the cup in his hand and couldn't help but turn his head several times to look at the shop owner, wondering what kind of monster he was trying to do again.

However, the shop owner really didn't do anything weird this time. Three seconds later, a faint scent of tea suddenly began to float throughout the room.

This faint scent of tea slowly circled up the room, drifted from the first floor to the second floor, and then climbed from the second floor to the yard outside.

The aroma of tea began to fill the yard.

Outside the courtyard and in front of the corridor, the withered tree suddenly turned green.

In the blink of an eye, countless young leaves suddenly sprouted from the tree. Those young leaves started from the top of the tree and slowly extended downwards, just like a flower slowly blooming.

Tang Shi looked at the tree outside the window with dumbfounded eyes. It was like a flower blooming in the peak season, blooming in the cold winter.

Like fireworks in the cold winter, they exploded with a "bang", magnifying themselves into a brilliant and flamboyant shape against the dark background.

There was even a faint green light on the tree. In the dark night, a tree with lush branches could simply attract everyone's attention.

Snowflakes were still falling all around, but after entering this small courtyard, they no longer fluttered unscrupulously and randomly, but fell slowly, like elves one by one, on the green leaves.

There is a thin layer of green fallen leaves under the tree, scattered in the snow, which looks beautiful and unreal, just like a scene from a fairy tale.

Tang Shi turned her head, her face flushed with excitement. She was about to ask the shop owner how she did this, but she found that the shop owner over there had completely slipped off the chair.

He tilted his head, leaned his back against the wall, and slumped in the chair. His breathing became long, and he didn't know when he fell asleep.

…

Since the day the tree was "created", the illusion in the yard has not been removed.

The youkai students or other monsters who pass by here on their way to and from school usually turn their heads when they see this tree, and then take a second look, thinking that they may have had some hallucination, and then continue to move forward pretending to be nonchalant...

Tang Shi was excited for a long time when she saw the tree being taken out. She even wanted to take off her down jacket, put on her spring clothes and play on the tree, but Yuan Yuanyuan forcibly stopped her.

Just kidding, this thing is an illusion. It is completely used to confuse the enemy. Although the tree in Yuan Yuanyuan's yard does not have any effect on confusing the enemy, Tang Shi put on spring clothes and climbed up the tree. Yuan Yuanyuan promised that she would be there. To die peacefully in warmth is the same fate as the little match girl...

A leaf obscures the vision, and the condition for activation is a leaf.

Hmm...tea leaves can be considered leaves, and different illusions can be created based on different leaves.

The temperature in the courtyard is definitely as warm as spring, but this is not real, it is all illusion... If you really wear spring clothes and run outside, you will find that you have long been out of the illusion range of the courtyard. His whole body was cold...or he simply froze to death there.

Yuan Yuanyuan inexplicably felt that this move was quite sinister. If another monster came looking for trouble, she would not open the door, let him sit in the yard, and then freeze him to death...

The recent eggshell in City C is finally about to be lifted. On the day of contact, Yuan Yuanyuan went crazy in the house for a long time. She even ate the sweet-scented osmanthus cake that she had not eaten for a long time... Ah, this was not bought by Yuan Yuanyuan herself. Ah, this is from the pub.

The patch of blue above her head was finally removed. Yuan Yuanyuan wanted to tell the world about her inner joy. She always stayed under this patch of blue, and she felt that she was about to become color blind.

She decided to clean up the yard on this day to express her inner joy.

"No, shopkeeper, you said you can't remove the temperature inside the illusion... It's so hot, you still have to wear a down jacket and stand outside." Tang Shi opened the window and looked at Yuan Yuanyuan outside, speechless.

"I...I can't!" Yuan Yuanyuan wiped the sweat from her head and continued wiping. She even pulled her hat tighter for fear of catching a cold...

“…You are also suffering.” Tang Shi didn’t know how to evaluate Yuan Yuanyuan’s behavior, and finally could only silently despise her.

When the two of them were wiping the glass enthusiastically, they suddenly saw a person trembling and walking on the street.

[An old book friend who I have known for ten years recommended me a book-chasing app! It’s really useful. I use it to read and listen to books to pass the time while driving and before going to bed. You can download it here ]

Yuan Yuanyuan stopped wiping the glass and turned to look at the person. Tang Shi also looked at the person. The two of them acted in perfect harmony and were very consistent.

Why was it so tacit? Because they were both very interested in why someone was wearing a… hospital gown walking on the street in this weather.

The person walked onto the street, looked at Yuan Yuanyuan’s yard in a daze, muttered something, and then fell down.

Before he fell down, Yuan Yuanyuan and Tang Shi both heard what he muttered at the same time.

This sentence is quite essential and the complaints are quite accurate.

"Where is this place? Why... is there a tree here?"

"Bang."

Yuan Yuanyuan looked at the man who just fell in her yard and was silent for a while...

Boss, you don't seem to have the qualifications to complain about me.
