As of the beginning of July, the small vegetable garden at home has ushered in two rounds of harvest under the nourishment of the harvest demon.

After being idle for half a month, Big Cat planted grape seedlings inside.

He cut a few straight and slender small bamboos on the mountain, cut off the branches and leaves, inserted one end of them obliquely into the soil, and put the other end on the fence, so that the grape seedlings can extend and climb when they grow up.

On the first day after the seedlings were planted, after watering, Lan Jin moved a small bench, sat in the yard, looked at the small vegetable garden where there were no tender seedlings, and muttered: "In a while, it will be ready."I ate vivid crystal grapes, sweet hehe..."

Jane Yi saw him slobbering non-stop, and said amusedly, "Do you really want to eat grapes? I'll go to the market to buy some after get off work in the afternoon."

"Actually, it's not very greedy," Big Cat rubbed the back of its head, "It's just that Fengnian told me the grapes he nourished were delicious the night before yesterday, let me try it."

"Can you understand what Fengnian said?" Jane Yi asked in surprise.

To her, the sound made by the Harvest Nian Little Demon was like a string of muttering spells, and it was impossible to discern the meaning at all.

"Yes." Lan Jin said excitedly: "Fengnian also said some time ago that his partner and children will move to this vegetable garden! It will be even more lively then."

"Ah Jin, after becoming a cat, you really have awakened your amazing skills." Jane Yi patted Big Mao Mao on the shoulder and said.

The next morning, Jane Yi got up late and didn't have breakfast at home. Instead, she brought a strawberry cream sandwich that Lan Jin had prepared for her in advance.

She walked in a little haste, in stark contrast to the leisurely white road ahead that looked like a walk.

"Don't you hurry up? You're going to be late." Jane Yi urged.

The child glanced at her, and said in a harsh tone, "It doesn't matter."

The fart attitude makes Jane Yi hallucinate the brother who has no blood.

Jane Yi knew very well that this was an excellent student that Wu Yue loved and hated, and also a precious grandson that caused Yue Fen's mother-in-law a headache, so she gave up preaching and went straight to speed up and distance herself.

When I arrived at the office, I made myself a cup of clear chrysanthemum tea, and then I opened the strawberry sandwich that Lan Jin made for her and enjoyed it slowly.

"Where did you buy this sandwich? It looks pretty good." Zhou Xiang, who came a while earlier, said.

The edges of the sandwich in Jane Yi's hand were neatly cut, with four huge bright red strawberries sandwiched in the middle, which was particularly attractive against the white cream.

Jane Yi laughed: "My boyfriend did it."

Zhou Xiang shook his head and said, "Tsk tsk, dogs are abused early in the morning."

The bread was very soft, and the slightly greasy cream was well neutralized by the sweetness of the strawberries. The whole sandwich tasted sweet and refreshing. Jane Yi, who had no appetite at first, was aroused and ate all of it before she knew it.

After breakfast and a few sips of tea, the class bell rang just in time.

Jane Yi took her textbooks and walked to the classroom of the second grade (2) class.

Before class, Jane scanned the class as usual to make sure there was no absence.

After scanning, found that the third row from the inside on the left hand side was empty.

"Did Fu Rui not come this morning?" Jane Yi asked, looking at the seating chart posted on the podium table.

Fu Rui's deskmate raised his hand, stood up and explained, "Mr. Jian, Fu Rui's sister passed away last night. He asked me to ask for leave."

Jane Yi was taken aback.

died?

sudden.

Jane Yi shook her head and said, "Okay, I see, you can sit down."

By the afternoon, news of Fu Rui's sister's death was already circulating in the office.

"At the age of seventeen, I'm going to be promoted to a third grade soon." Wu Yue said regretfully, "The grades are quite good, how could I know that at such a young age..."

"How uncomfortable her parents are." Zhou Xiang said with downcast eyes.

Jane Yi asked, "What's wrong with Fu Rou? How could it deteriorate so quickly?"

Not long ago, Fu Rui's father said that it was malnutrition caused by too much study pressure.Jane Yi thought it was anemia or hypoglycemia.

Wu Yue's face was a bit strange: "It didn't find out."

Jane Yi and Zhou Xiang had the same surprised expressions: "How come?"

"I don't know the details, but I heard that Fu Rou's body suddenly became very weak, and she went to various hospitals but couldn't find out what's wrong. In the end, she had to be sent to a hospital in a small town for an infusion, and half her life was suspended." WuLight whispered what she had heard from the others.

"However, I also found out a very strange thing." Wu Yue glanced at the door of the office, confirmed that the door was closed, and continued: "Isn't my sister-in-law working as a nurse in the hospital in the town? SheI have seen Fu Rou who is sick several times."

Jane Yi and Zhou Xiang held their breaths at the same time, waiting for her next words.

"My sister-in-law said that the sicker Fu Rou is, the more beautiful she becomes. There are often young men who come to her ward to show love."

Zhou Xiang was silent for a while: "Illusion?"

Wu Yue sighed: "Oh, I think so too, otherwise it would be too wicked."

Jane Yi took Xiaozhu to attend the funeral held by Fu Rui's family.

In the black-and-white photo displayed in the mourning hall, the girl with a young face is smiling brightly. When she took this photo, she certainly did not expect to be chosen as her posthumous photo.

Fu Rui, who was usually naughty and talkative, knelt in front of the brazier and burned paper money in silence. His parents' eyes were red and swollen, and they were all haggard.

Especially Fu Rou's father, Jane Yi met him not long ago, the cheerful and talkative man completely changed that day.His hair became much grayer, his figure became a little stooped, and the expression on his face was silent and numb.

Jane Yi chatted with Fu Rou's father for a few words, and after sending the dole money, she took the little bamboo demon home.

After walking a few steps, a thin girl walked past her.

Jane Yi stopped in her tracks, and looked back, just in time, that girl also turned her head to look at her, accidentally met her eyes and looked away in a panic.

"Sister Xiao Yi." The little bamboo demon shook her hand, "That person..."

"Shh - I see it."

A slender and soft green vine grew from the back of the girl's neck, and at the end of the vine was a pink-white flower bud the size of a fingernail.

She looked about the same age as Fu Rou, wearing cartoon short sleeves and black trousers, full of student air.

Most likely Fu Rou's classmate.

"Aren't we going home?" Seeing Jane Yi walking back, the little bamboo demon hurriedly followed her and asked in a low voice.

"Let's stay here and eat tofu rice. We won't go back. I want to find out what that thing on her neck is."

The expressions of the people around were normal, and no one noticed the vine on the back of the girl's neck, or rather, no one could see the slender vine.

There was no wind at this time, but the vine could swing leisurely in the air, like a lazy tail.

"Xiaozhu, do you know what that is?" Jane Yi asked in a low voice.

The little bamboo demon carefully observed the green "tail", and shook his head slightly after a while: "I've never seen such a thing before, maybe it's some kind of rare plant-type monster."

Seeing that the girl found a seat under the tent, Jane Yi hurriedly sat at the same table.

Seeing Jane Yi approaching, the girl didn't know whether she was guilty or something, so she quickly took out her phone and pretended to look seriously, sometimes peeking at her out of the corner of her eye.

"Are you Fu Rou's classmate?" Jane Yi asked.

"Ah...I...um." The girl raised her head and put away the phone she was not looking at at all, "Sister, are you Xiaorou's relative?"

"No, I'm brother Fu Rou's teacher and I live nearby."

"Oh, it's Xiaorui's teacher." Hearing that she was a teacher, the girl's attitude became more reserved, and her palms rubbed against her thigh uneasily.

Jane Yi stared at the vines at the back of her neck calmly, and the pink-white flower buds at the end that were tightly closed just now opened slightly.

What's happening here?Was it her actions that inadvertently accelerated the development of the buds?Or is it just a coincidence?

Jane Yi was confused, and even wanted to reach out to feel the touch of the vines secretly, but before she reached out, the voice of Yue Fen's mother-in-law rang in her ears: "Xiao Yi, you're here so early."

Jane Yi turned her head, and saw Yue Fen's mother-in-law and Bai Lu beside her with a cold face.

"Xiao Lu, quickly say hello to Elder Sister Xiao Yi." Granny Yue Fen patted Bai Lu's back.

Bai Lu reluctantly nodded at her, his eyes fixed on the girl beside her for a few seconds, probably because he saw something growing from the back of the girl's neck.

Seeing her grandson like this, Granny Yue Fen smacked her lips in distaste, then bent down to seek comfort from the little bamboo demon: "Xiaozhu, you also came with Xiao Yi."

"Well," the little bamboo demon stared at Granny Yue Fen with big green cat eyes, and said seriously, "Grandma, are you here to eat tofu rice too?"

"Yes." The cute appearance of the little bamboo demon made Granny Yue Fen's heart melt, and even the voice that responded was unconsciously assimilated into a cute little bit.

She took out a few toffees from her pocket and handed them to the little bamboo demon: "Do you want some candies?"

The little bamboo demon took it with both hands, and said politely: "Thank you, mother-in-law."

After finishing speaking, she stood up, pulled away the chair beside her, and greeted: "Mother-in-law, sit down quickly, the food will be served later."

"Okay." Granny Yue Fen sat down with a smile, glanced at Bailu next to her, and said meaningfully: "It's true that people are more angry than people."

Bai Lu seemed to have gotten used to this kind of situation and didn't respond at all.

The little bamboo demon bribed Jian Yi with the candies she got from Granny Yuefen: "Sister Xiao Yi, do you want to eat? I'll peel it for you."

Jane Yi touched his head: "Don't eat, you can eat."

Not long after Granny Yue Fen sat down, Fu Rui's mother trotted over and whispered something in her ear.

"Okay, I'll go over and show you." She stood up and followed Fu Rui's mother away.

All the way to the mourning hall, Granny Yue Fen was not in a hurry to ask for pen and paper to write down, but asked, "Can you open the coffin so I can take a look at the child?"

Fu Rui's mother and Fu Rui's father looked at each other, seemingly puzzled.

Fu Rui's father frowned: "Does the coffin need to be opened just for the time of burial?"

"The cause of Fu Rou's death is strange, and the calculation of the burial time is different from other people's. It is special. How to calculate it depends on the specific situation." Yue Fen's mother-in-law made nonsense without changing her expression.

When they heard that it was the reason, the parents stopped entangled, and first asked the irrelevant people out of the mourning hall, closed the door, and then pushed the coffin lid away swiftly.

Grandma Yue Fen walked to the opened coffin, looked down and felt her scalp go numb.
