For Fanning, this winter is particularly cold.

He often thinks that he is not worthy of being the protagonist.

He sat on the steps, looking at the sky outside. The sky in the distance was gray.

The male protagonists in comics are always sunny and optimistic, or resilient. No matter which protagonist, there seems to be a little bit of light in their humanity.

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

He walked along a long street, not knowing where he was going or where his destination was.

…

Yuan Yuanyuan sat in the room, calculating the little money she had left. Tang Shi came over and asked her what she was doing. She said, "I was thinking...why not find a little monster to help me look after the store? It always feels like no one dares to come when I'm here..."

"Isn't that enough for me? With your condition, what kind of clerk do you want to hire?" Tang Shi said.

"I don't have a bad conscience 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.

Little monster?... A young monster like Tang Shi may not understand the situation here very well, but Yuan Yuanyuan feels that it is quite 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 exploitation of the working people...but to be honest, Yuan Yuanyuan is just a poor farmer.

She really felt sad to see this house empty. She had planned to make some money by making clothes at the beginning, but there were two outbreaks of evil spirits and no monster on the whole street was willing to come to her place.

According to the feedback Tang Shi brought back, 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 he liked to secretly capture little monsters to practice strange magic.

Therefore, Yuan Yuanyuan is now treated the same way as General Zhang Liao was back then, and it can stop children from crying at night.

However, Yuan Yuanyuan had to make clothes. Even if no one came to buy them, she would always feel uncomfortable looking at the empty house. Yuan Yuanyuan's professional ethics did not allow her to do this, so she had to make clothes.

Once you make something, you need raw materials, and once you need raw materials, you need to spend money...

So far, Yuan Yuanyuan has made enough clothes to fill a room, so she has recently stopped making clothes. 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 bugs.

"When will this shabby blue cover outside be removed? It looks so ugly and annoying!" Yuan Yuanyuan lay on the table, rolling like a salted fish.

"We're going to withdraw in two days, why are you in such a hurry?" Tang Shi looked at Yuan Yuanyuan's dying struggle, walked over speechlessly to draw the curtains, then walked back to continue reading his book of witchcraft.

Yuan Yuanyuan stopped rolling and started to sit on the table.

"You are the same. The clothes you make are all very nice, but you emit evil spirits for no reason. You also refuse to tell others that you are the big monster protecting the nursery area. Now the monster classmates I know avoid you when they come here..." Tang Shi said, "You can 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. I guarantee that all your clothes will be sold out within a day."

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

"…What do you want to say? Are you going to say the same thing as my dad that the adult world is complicated? What's complicated about me being here? I'm just selling clothes. Even though I'm not very smart, you adults can't always treat me like this." Tang Shi complained.

Yuan Yuanyuan thought, you know we are always teasing you...

"Please help me figure out how to do this. I don't quite understand..."

Yuan Yuanyuan turned her head away and continued to look at what Tang Shi had written in his notebook with a salted fish look. After taking a look, she turned her head back and said, "This sentence..."

For Yuan Yuanyuan today, she has just finished reading the last issue, and this week is a temporary end for her. Although the discussion on the Internet is still heated, Yuan Yuanyuan feels that the last issue did not contain anything that bothered her too much.

Except for the painting style...

Yuan Yuanyuan's face was filled with black lines when she thought of that style of painting. In fact, this kind of comics that even draw every movement is really 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 made many little moves of her own. In fact, she fought on top because she didn't want the monsters below to see her face and movements. But now... the manga simply threw all her efforts into waste.

"Shopkeeper, what have you been doing all this time? Every time I see you, you look so decadent. I feel like you are exactly like the unemployed vagrant I imagined, who lives a life of eating, sleeping and waiting to die." Tang Shi said next to him.

Yuan Yuanyuan glanced at Tang Shi. She certainly wouldn't say that her usual schedule was to work as a part-time worker while boiling wine at night and only have a little time to catch up on sleep during the day.

So in Tang Shi's eyes during the day, she, the shop owner, always looked like a weak and salted fish... Tang Shi once said that Yuan Yuanyuan, who looked so decadent, could turn into a big monster. This world was so unfair. Now she also had to be decadent every day and wait to become a big monster.

Then she was beaten by Yuan Yuanyuan.

Yuan Yuanyuan lay on the table, looking at the tree outside the window at an upward angle.

Recently, she has consolidated the "One Leaf Blindness" that she learned some time ago. To her, the more she learns about this "One Leaf Blindness", the more profound it seems. There are many things in it that she only has a vague understanding of.

It was only three sentences of magic spell, but she had already filled up three full notebooks.

Tang Shi looked at the shop owner who was lying on the table and sat up a little straighter, but not too straight, still half leaning against the wall behind him.

He picked up the teacup gently, looked at the half-cooled cup and blew a breath. 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 by a barrier.

The sound outside the house, like the roar of a devil, suddenly stopped.

The world around me suddenly became quiet, as if I was watching something go from extremely loud to extremely quiet.

This change was so fast that it could not be ignored. Tang Shi put down the cup in her hand and could not help but look back at the owner several times, wondering what he was going to do next.

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

The faint scent of tea slowly swirled up through the house, from the first floor to the second floor, and then from the second floor to the yard outside.

The aroma of tea began to waft through the yard.

Outside the gate, in front of the corridor, the dry tree suddenly turned green.

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

Tang Shi stared at the tree outside the window in amazement. It was like a flower blooming in its prime, blossoming in the cold winter.

It was like fireworks in the cold winter, exploding with a "bang" and magnifying itself 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 lush tree could attract everyone's attention.

The snowflakes were still falling all around, but when they entered the courtyard, they no longer fluttered around recklessly, but fell slowly, like elves, landing on the tender green leaves.

There is a thin layer of green fallen leaves under the trees, scattered on the snow. It looks beautiful and unreal, like a scene from a fairy tale.

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

His head tilted, his back leaned against the wall, and he slumped in the chair. His breathing became long and heavy, and he fell asleep without knowing when.

…

Ever since the day the tree was "created", the illusion in the yard has never been removed.

Normally, when students or other monsters pass by here on their way to and from school, they turn their heads sharply and look at the tree frantically, thinking that they may have hallucinated something, and then pretend nothing happened and continue walking forward...

Tang Shi was so excited when she saw the tree being brought out that she even wanted to take off her down jacket, put on spring clothes and play on the tree, but was forcibly stopped by Yuan Yuanyuan.

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 in confusing the enemy, but Tang Shi wore spring clothes and climbed the tree. Yuan Yuanyuan guaranteed that she would die peacefully in warmth, just like the little match girl...

A leaf can block your view, and the condition for launching is just a leaf.

Well...tea leaves can also be considered as leaves. Different illusions can be created based on different leaves.

The temperature in the yard is definitely as warm as spring now, but this is not real, it is all an illusion... If you really wear spring clothes and run outside, you will find that you are already freezing cold when you leave the illusion range of the yard... or you will simply freeze to death there.

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

The recent eggshell in City C is finally going to be lifted. On the day of contact, Yuan Yuanyuan went crazy in the house for a long time, and even ate the osmanthus cake that she hadn't had for a long time...ah, this was not bought by Yuan Yuanyuan herself, it was distributed by the tavern.

The blue spot on her head was finally removed. Yuan Yuanyuan wanted to tell everyone in the world about her inner joy. She felt like she was going to become color blind because she always stayed under this blue spot.

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

"No, shop owner, can't you remove the temperature in the illusion? It's so hot, and you still have to stand outside in a down jacket." Tang Shi leaned against the window, looking at Yuan Yuanyuan outside, speechless.

"I... I can't!" Yuan Yuanyuan wiped the sweat off her head and continued to wipe it. She was afraid that she would catch a cold, and even pulled her hat tighter...

"...You are suffering too." Tang Shi didn't know how to comment on Yuan Yuanyuan's behavior, and in the end he could only silently despise her.

When they were rubbing each other passionately, they suddenly saw a trembling person walking on the street.

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

Why are they so in sync? Because they are both very interested in why someone is walking down the street in this weather wearing... a hospital gown.

The man walked onto the street, glanced at Yuan Yuanyuan's yard in a daze, muttered something, and then fell down.

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

This sentence is quite essential and the criticism is quite accurate.

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

“Boom.”

Yuan Yuanyuan looked at the person who happened to fall in her yard and was silent for a while...

Boss, you don't seem to have any qualifications to criticize me.
