Peach Blossom Shop

Chapter 1 The Cause
"Goo~"

I don't know where the night song came from, and it sounded at first in this dark night, and Lin Manlu shivered in shock, shaking the peach-patterned paper lantern in his hand for a few times.

Zhang Zeyu poked her behind him, "Hey, Lulu, if you don't hurry up, that brat will run away."

Lin Manlu frowned, shrinking her neck, Zhang Zeyu poked her again behind her, Lin Manlu had no choice but to tighten the bamboo pole carrying the lantern and continue walking.Around the two of them, there are tombs overgrown with weeds. Occasionally, green phosphorous fires flicker past, accompanied by intermittent gusts of wind, and the sound of birds and insects is heard at first glance. From a distance, one can only see dim yellow lanterns swaying forward , quite a creepy feeling.

Carrying a lantern, these two men sneaked around at night and came to this remote tomb. What kind of sneaky thing did they do?
It turned out that the reason of the matter was like this...

In July, City H ushered in the hottest summer ever. During Lin Manlu’s summer vacation, although the school required second-year high school students to make up classes, the school decided to abandon the plan to make up classes under the harsh high temperature. No matter how important study is, the child's body is still the first. Although many parents are dissatisfied, Lin Manlu happily shouted long live with Hua Hua and all the students in the class. Lin Manlu excitedly held Hua Hua hands, and said with tears in his eyes, "Hua Hua, you are truly the most capable and unparalleled beauty in the world!"

Hua Hua raised her head proudly, "Of course, if the old man still doesn't cancel the make-up class plan, I'll go to the sun to expose myself to the sun, and I feel so sorry for him!"

Hua Hua's so-called old man is the principal of this school.

Lin Manlu shook her arm, carefully apologizing, "It's not okay to be exposed to the sun, it will damage your delicate skin that is as thin as cream, but what a good thing!"

Hua Hua couldn't help but rolled her eyes, and was about to knock Lin Manlu's head with her hand, "You can't talk well! It's disgusting!" It's a pity...the hand hasn't landed on Lin Manlu's messy head yet, It was blocked by the slender jade hand stretched out from the side.

Lin Manlu looked back, immediately let go of Huahua, jumped to the side of the person next to him, and cheered, "Yuyu, that's great! There's no need to make up lessons."

Zhang Zeyu smiled, stretched out his hand, and rubbed Lin Manlu's hair, making her messy head even more messy.

Hua Hua withdrew her hand, held her wrist, curled her lips, "It's amazing to have a boyfriend protecting you!"

Lin Manlu hurriedly turned her head and smiled obsequiously, "No, no, definitely not as great, beautiful, charming, sexy, and mighty as Miss Huahua..."

"Hi!" Hua Hua stared at Lin Manlu.

Lin Manlu hurriedly covered her mouth, her clear eyes behind the lenses of the big glasses were still curled up.

Seeing her silly appearance, Hua Hua couldn't get angry, so she put away her textbooks in her schoolbag and said as she put them away, "Since the summer vacation is free, I'll go back and see if the old man has any travel arrangements. If not, I'll go Play in your shop."

Lin Manlu opened his mouth wide, "Ah?!"

Seeing her reluctance, Hua Hua was angry and wanted to laugh, "Why, don't let me play in your shop!"

Lin Manlu hurriedly moved the stool under his buttocks to Huahua's side, and whispered, "Huahua, it's not like you don't know what my store is for. I've been there so many times, maybe I'm going to get in touch with it." Something unclean."

Hua Hua squinted at her, "Don't fool me! Even if something unclean gets on it, the big boyfriend behind you can exorcise evil spirits, let him do it. Also, I asked you to do it last time. Your Yin-Yang Talisman, have you got it?"

Lin Manlu nodded, "I got it..."

Hua Hua put away the last book, "Okay, then I'll get it when I have time." After speaking, she got up and was about to leave.

"Hey, Hua Hua, you really want to play!" Lin Manlu quickly grabbed her.

Hua Hua looked down at her, "Do I seem to be joking? Your store has been open for so long, and you don't even allow me to go there even once. It's too mysterious! If you don't let me go this time, I will follow you." break up!"

After finishing speaking, Hua Hua pinched Lin Manlu's nose threateningly, put on her schoolbag and walked away proudly.

Now it was Lin Manlu's turn to be depressed, and she turned her head to look pitifully at Zhang Zeyu who was sitting next to her, "Yuyu, what should I do? Hua Hua has a mortal body, and she is still a big girl with a yellow flower, the yin energy in our shop... Cough cough, the smell in the shop is so heavy, can she bear it?"

Zhang Zeyu patted the back of her hand reassuringly, "I'm here, don't worry. At that time, I will form an enchantment to isolate the gate of the underworld, and the yin energy will naturally spread slowly in the yang world, and she will come to play If so, it should be fine."

Lin Manlu had no choice but to nod, and slowly began to pack her schoolbag.Zhang Zeyu smiled and packed the exercise book in his bag.

"Pa-ta!" A piece of pink letter paper fell from Zhang Zeyu's exercise book and floated to Lin Manlu's hand.

Lin Manlu was taken aback, and picked it up subconsciously. A faint fragrance wafted from the envelope. Lin Manlu looked down——Student Zhang Zeyu accepted it,?.The peach heart drawn with red strokes on the back is dazzling no matter how you look at it.

"It's this thing again! Tut!" Zhang Zeyu tutted, reaching for the letter, "Give it to me, I'll throw it away."

Lin Manlu didn't move, Zhang Zeyu raised his head, only then did he see Lin Manlu's dissatisfied expression, squinting at himself, his lips pursed tightly, as if a little angry.

Zhang Zeyu withdrew his hand, turned his face sideways and propped his chin with one hand, raised the corner of his eyes, and smiled at Lin Manlu, "Is Lulu...jealous?"

Lin Manlu saw Zhang Zeyu's peach-blossom eyes, and looked straight at him with a smile and charm, and suddenly panicked, and quickly adjusted his huge glasses, "Who, who is jealous!"

"Hehe..." Zhang Zeyu laughed, stretched out his hand to rub Lin Manlu's red fleshy earlobe, and said, "Don't worry, Lulu, I only have you in my heart, my whole heart belongs to you!"

"Wow!" Lin Manlu suddenly stood up from the chair, flipped over the chair under his buttocks, his face was burning red, and kicked Zhang Zeyu a little, "What nonsense!" After speaking, he turned around just run.

Zhang Zeyu rubbed the leg that was kicked, feeling a little itchy in his heart, carrying his schoolbag, he hurriedly chased the flustered and cute figure in front of him that made his heart ache.

……

Naturally, the dinner was made by Zhang Zeyu who stayed at Lin Manlu's house. Both Lin Manlu's parents were working abroad, so she didn't want to go abroad with her parents, so she stayed alone in City H. Originally, there was a nanny at home. But after Zhang Zeyu came, the nanny was dismissed, and Lin Manlu was happy for a long time to do pocket money for the extra nanny hire money every month.

Not much gossip, the two of them finished their dinner, packed up, and went to a small alley not far from the community. This alley was deep and messy, and looked okay during the day, but at night, it was inexplicably permeated with a gloomy atmosphere. .When Lin Manlu and Zhang Zeyu found some old news in the old newspapers about the disappearance of several people in this alley, they decided to open the store in this alley!

Lin Manlu kicked the clogs and sandals on the soles of his feet, and followed Zhang Zeyu unsteadily. The sound of "kick, tap, tap" clogs echoed deeply in this quiet and messy alley. Lin Manlu was very uncomfortable. Rubbing her stomach elegantly, she said to Zhang Zeyu who was leading the way, "Yuyu, I found that your cooking skills have improved a lot recently, did you secretly read some recipes?"

Zhang Zeyu turned around and smiled brightly at her, "Really? That's good, Lulu will eat more next time."

Lin Manlu shook his head, "No, no, if you eat any more, you'll really get fat to death, and you've gained weight recently!" As he spoke, he squeezed the outer arm of the short-sleeved T-shirt, it was fleshy.

Zhang Zeyu smiled, slowed down and waited for Lin Manlu to walk side by side, and said, "It's better to be fat, I like the round and round appearance of green and green."

Lin Manlu blushed and glared at him.Seeing Zhang Zeyu's peach-blossom eyes in the night, so scorching that people couldn't look directly at them, Lin Manlu had no choice but to pretend not to hear.

The two chatted and made their way to the deepest part of the dilapidated alley. Lin Manlu tapped his shoulder with a small folding fan, raised his head, adjusted his glasses, and said, "Xiao Hua, open the door quickly! We're here!"

As Lin Manlu's voice fell, the air in front of the two of them suddenly fluctuated like water ripples, and the vertical strata swayed away. Then, an old dark wooden door slowly appeared. The wooden door was carved with complicated and classical patterns. Look closely. If so, it can be seen that the carving on the dark wooden door is a peach tree with thick branches, lush leaves and flowers. Then, bright light poured down from the top of the door, and two snow-white paper lanterns appeared swayingly. On the pasted paper cover, there are delicately painted pink peach blossoms, which are clearly romantic and delicate flowers. Under such circumstances, there is actually a hint of enchanting aura.After the lantern fully appeared, a huge gold-painted ancient plaque appeared on the door, and two lanterns hung faintly at both ends of the ancient plaque.

On the ancient plaque, there are four large black and purple inlaid gold characters - Peach Blossom Shop.

"Crackling~" The black wooden door under the ancient plaque opened slowly.

Lin Manlu swung the fan away with a "swipe", and Zhang Zeyu also took a step back and waved his hand.When the two of them were doing these actions almost at the same time, a biting cold wind mixed with Yin Qi blew out from the slowly opened wooden door.

"Huh." Lin Manlu waited for the strong wind to pass, exhaled, turned his head to look at the strong wind with its tail rushing towards the noisy world, seemed to sigh faintly, and put away the folding fan.

"Boss, why is it so late today?" A crisp voice came from behind the fully opened wooden door.

Lin Manlu took a look at Zhang Zeyu, raised his foot, stepped over the threshold, and approached the wooden door. The moment Lin Manlu's feet landed on the ground behind the threshold, light suddenly rose from the inside of the wooden door from all directions and eight corners. A huge pink candle in the shape of a peach blossom tree burned instantly, illuminating the entire interior of the wooden door.

Standing outside the door, Zhang Zeyu saw Lin Manlu in this quiet and elegant candlelight, smiled slightly, and followed the peach tree threshold, and walked into the peach blossom shop.

Lin Manlu was dragging a chair, sat down, stretched out his hand, pulled out a small figure hiding behind the door mercilessly, rubbed her head, and said, "Xiaohua, today We are not here during the day, how is the business in the store?"
