Peach Blossom Shop

Chapter 35 Search
The flowering period of roses is usually only from May to November. Generally, by November, it is difficult for the flowers to bloom on the branches as usual.

On this day, under the twilight of the night, the man exhaled the heat from his mouth, carrying a plastic bottle as usual, and came to Xiyue, who was lying on the only remaining flower, looking at it with some distress. The man's nose was a little red from the cold.

The man squatted down, and this time he didn't water it first, but touched the rose flower with a smile, and said, "It's so cold in the sky, and you still bloom so well! You're so strong!"

Xiyue, lying on the flowers, closed her eyes as always, greedily feeling the warmth from the man's fingertips, and said in her heart - today is the last day of my flowering this year, after tonight, I will start to hibernate .

However, Xiyue couldn't say these words to this man.In fact, Xiyue thought that if she turned into a mortal woman and talked to the man in front of her, the man might be frightened, and she might never come to see her again!
The man stared at the last rose flower in front of him. With a pair of ordinary glasses behind the lens, with a gentle smile, he slowly poured the water in his hand into the soil.

The next day, as expected, Xiyue dropped the last rose flower on the branch and fell into a deep winter sleep.

……

When she woke up again, it was already the spring when everything was revived and the birds were singing and the grass was green. Xiyue was surprised to find that the soil under her feet had been refurbished, and even the surrounding weeds had been removed.I hurriedly climbed up the branch, only to see that I was still downstairs in the original unit, and that silly gardenia tree was still beside me!
Is it...

The spring breeze was unusually refreshing, but Xiyue almost spent the day anxiously waiting.Finally, in the evening, Xiyue lay down on the newly bloomed flower buds early, expecting, expecting...

"It's actually a flower bud!" A familiar voice, with a little surprise, Xiyue's widened eyes, a little sore - it really is him, it's him, it's really him, it's him... (re-checked At that time, I suddenly felt that this sentence is so good Qiong Yao 0)

The man smiled slightly, watered Xiyue, and poured the newly bought flower fertilizer into the soil. He habitually touched the rose flower buds that Xiyue was lying on, then got up and left.

Xiyue clutched her chest, sat cross-legged on the flower bone, she had already understood - her heart was beating...

So, one person and one demon, just get along with each other innocently day after day, year after year. As the years go by, Xiyue gradually begins to clarify her mind, suppress her painful and joyful emotions, and look forward to seeing that person , and warned himself not to fall into it, but the gentler that person was, the more Xiyue couldn't extricate herself.

Finally, in the autumn of the eighth year, the man abnormally came to Xiyue's side early in the morning. On this day, it was drizzling, and the man held an oil-paper umbrella in his hand and squatted beside Xiyue. Smiling a little far-fetched, he touched the blooming rose flowers behind him and said, "I can't take care of you anymore! From now on, you have to grow well yourself!"

Xiyue couldn't react to the man's intentions, lying on the flower, and looked up at him stupidly, the rain soaked the rose flower, and also wet Xiyue's heart.

As the man said, he reached out and touched the wet rose flower that Xiyue was lying on, and after a long silence, he suddenly said, "For so many years, you have refused to say a word to me, do you dislike me for being an ordinary woman?" human beings?"

Xiyue's eyes widened suddenly, and she looked at the man in front of her in disbelief.

The man smiled bitterly, and put the oil-paper umbrella in his hand beside Xiyue to shield her from the light rain, and said, "I'm leaving. Take care." Then he got up and left.

Xiyue looked at the man's wet shoulders and the leaving back, and waited until he couldn't see the man's figure at all, then slowly transformed into a human form from the rose, gently picked up the oiled paper umbrella, and held it in her arms I wiped my wet cheeks—I don’t know if it was rain or tears.

……

After listening to Xiyue's narration, Lin Manlu suddenly grabbed his front and made a tangle.

A smile appeared on Xiyue's demure face, and said, "Boss Lin, what's wrong with you?"

Lin Manlu took off his glasses, threw them on the table, rubbed his eyes with the back of his hand, and said, "Did he see you?"

Xiyue lowered her eyes, and said slowly, "I later guessed that I should have discovered that I was living in the flower, otherwise, why every time I touched the flower, it happened to be the one I possessed."

Lin Manlu turned to lie on the table, and said, "It should be like this." Turning his head, he saw Zhang Zeyu who was leaning against the back door at some point, "Yuyu?"

Zhang Zeyu walked in with a smile and said, "It is generally impossible for a mortal to see a monster's primordial spirit. I guess the man you mentioned should have some spiritual power. Are you sure he is a mortal?"

Xiyue smiled and nodded, "Well, it is indeed a mortal, Mr. Xing."

Zhang Zeyu nodded, sat down at the table, and said, "We understand the story, so what are you asking for?"

Xiyue raised her eyes, looking at Zhang Zeyu with a pair of charming eyes, and said, "I hope Boss Lin and Mr. Xing can help me find this man."

Zhang Zeyu nodded, and turned to look at Lin Manlu who was lying on the table, "Lulu, take it?"

Lin Manlu turned her head around again, resting her chin on the table, looked at Xiyue, and asked Zhang Zeyu, "Yuyu, is the story Xiyue told true?"

Zhang Zeyu nodded with a smile, "Well, it's true, you can see that there are no broken petals under her feet."

It turned out that every demon and ghost who stepped into the peach blossom shop to make a wish would step on the consciousness array arranged by Zhang Zeyu the moment they stepped into the shop. If they told the truth, Peach Blossom would be safe and sound, but if they told lies, The peach blossoms in the mind formation will shatter.

Lin Manlu lowered her head to look at the soles of Xiyue's feet, the formation that she hadn't seen just now, the peach blossoms overflowing at this moment, swirled around the soles of her bright red sandals.

Lin Manlu sat up and nodded, "Okay, then I'll take it."

Xiyue smiled gratefully, "Thank you, Boss Lin."

Lin Manlu took back his glasses and put them on the bridge of his nose again, "Don't thank me first, I'm not sure if it will work. Do you have any basic information for me about that man? It will be easier for me to check."

Xiyue's complexion darkened, and then she smiled again, "I don't know much about him either. I wanted to find him by myself, but after searching for a year, I couldn't find him, so I asked for Taohua Xiaodian."

Lin Manlu nodded, expressing his understanding.Zhang Zeyu stood aside, thought for a while, and asked, "Where was the community you lived in more than 20 years ago? Tell us the exact location."

Xiyue thought about it, then told Zhang Zeyu the location of the community and the apartment building where the man lived, and added, "However, I have only been to that community, and now a new building has been demolished. Can't find anything..."

Zhang Zeyu clenched his chin, thought for a while, and said to Lin Manlu, "Let's check the people who lived in that building at that time."

Lin Manlu propped his chin and smiled, "We don't have to sneak into the police station this time." Zhang Zeyu was puzzled, but saw Lin Manlu smiling and continued, "I just met a police officer two days ago, and he seems to be quite talkative. Let's go see if he can help."

Zhang Zeyu raised his eyebrows - police officer?
