Supernatural ability spring flowers and autumn fall

It's over, it's over, it's over...

Qiu also felt that he might have guessed the reason why he lost his memory and woke up from the slum.The first thing that came to mind that might be useful was the notebook he brought over.

Putting the vase back in his hand, he turned around and took out the notebook from the folded quilt.

This book is blank, a very ordinary line book, but for some reason the cover was torn off, so the whole book only has blank line pages and a back cover.Shuya carefully turned over every page of the book, and after confirming that there was nothing in it, hid it back under the quilt.

What should I do, should I tell Grandpa Yasuo?

He thought this way, but he was a little bit afraid in his heart that he would be thrown back again, or sent to another place. He had just been here for a month...

However, Grandpa Kangfu was a cruel-faced and kind-hearted person. He adopted him when he couldn't promise him any reward, and even invited a doctor for him.On the way out of the slum just after waking up, Qiu also felt that this place was full of indifference and helplessness. trouble……

And I can feel the plants absorbing nutrients...

Is he a human, or is he just a plant?

Shuya sighed, opened the door and went downstairs to Yasuo Sakuraba who was working in the bookstore, "Grandpa Yasuo, I have something to tell you..."

…………

"Is that so?" Yasuo Sakuraba touched the flowers that had come back to life, and looked at the child in front of him who was so nervous that he was gritting his teeth and trembling slightly: "This may be a legendary superpower."

"The legendary... supernatural power?" Ying Tingqiu also heaved a sigh of relief after getting the news that he was still an individual.

"Ah," Yasuo Sakuraba replied, "I don't know the specific situation, but it is said that the leaders of many industries are people with supernatural powers, including the management of the port mafia that manages this old book alley."

"Port Mafia?" This was the first term that Shuya had come to.

"Well, they are in charge of our alley, and they will pay them protection fees every month. If the store is damaged by other organizations, they can report to them." Yasuo Sakuraba explained, and then he thought about it, and he was very happy with Qiu Ye. Said: "However, there is indeed a place in Japan without people with supernatural powers, it seems to be... Yahara City, Kumamoto Prefecture."

"Yahara?" Shuya, who only had Yokohama in his memory, asked.

"Well, Yahara, I passed by that place about 40 years ago when I took the JR on a business trip," Yasuo Sakuraba explained, "It's a very simple and quiet place. But it is said that there are many monsters living on the mountain over there. A female exorcist named Natsume will take them back, I don’t know now.”

"..." Qiu Ye was silent, he wanted to speak a little bit, saying that he was like a plant monster.

"If you are a person with supernatural powers, do you have any ideals in the future?"

"Stay in the bookstore...to help you?" Qiu Ye said.

"...What about in the future," Sakuraba Yasuo said, "There's no one coming to this bookstore. Don't you have any dreams for the future?"

"Then..." Qiu Ye looked at the small flowers in the vase, and said in a low voice, "Ability related to plants... open a flower shop?"

"..." The old man with a fierce face looked at Qiu Ye for a while, then suddenly raised his hand and rubbed the child's head until he made the child's soft short black hair into a bird's nest, and said, "This is not an easy job. Let’s go down to the bookstore tomorrow to learn how to read, at least learn to order the titles of books for customers, and in the future, the flower shop will also need to understand all kinds of flowers in the flower shop.”

Qiu also nodded: "Yeah!"

After that, Shuya would go to the bookstore on the first floor to learn how to read characters during the day, or learn how to maintain books with Sakuraba Yasuo.Although he is said to be a person with supernatural powers, Qiu also has no feeling that he is a superman, because after trying many times, Qiu also is sure that his ability is only to make the plants at hand absorb nutrients better and grow faster. Plants are still that kind of plants, and they will not mutate into any special offensive objects under the influence of supernatural powers.

After confirming the nature of his supernatural ability, Qiu also became more sure of his determination to open a flower shop in the future, because the business situation of the Sakuraba family second-hand bookstore is really not good.

Although the bookstore is under the jurisdiction of the port mafia, there are not many people who dare to come to this street to make trouble, but because this street is near the slums, there are very few people who come here, and because the current situation in Yokohama is getting worse , there is a feeling of war at any time, and fewer people call to order books.

And the monthly protection fee still has to be handed in on time, accounting for about 90.00% of the turnover, and the rest Qian Qiuya and Sakuraba Yasuo can only buy some rice or sweet potatoes to live on.

If you open a flower shop, you can use supernatural powers to make flowers grow quickly, and then you can sell more every day, earn more money and live better.

This is Qiu Ye's pure thought.

After Dang Qiuya knew all the characters needed for daily use, and learned to try to help in various jobs in the Sakuraba second-hand bookstore, Yokohama City has entered winter and the first snow fell.

A few months ago, Yasuo Sakuraba gave Shuya a simple celebration of his 11th birthday. The time was set on August 8th, the time of Liqiu. The gift was a very old toy dug out from the bedroom on the second floor.The whole birthday was rough and sweet, but after that the atmosphere in Yokohama became more and more grim.It's mid-December, and it should be about the same time to prepare for the New Year in Japan, but this year, no one in the Old Book Lane has tidied up and prepared for the New Year, because the leader of the port mafia fell ill.

This signal may have triggered other organizations to covet the Hong Kong black jurisdiction. Recently, there have been more and more rape incidents in the old book alley. Just a few days ago, the Yingting second-hand bookstore was also robbed.

The person who came was a half-grown child, who rushed into the bookstore with a knife and shouted: "robbery".When Yasuo Sakuraba tried to grab the knife from the child, Shuya also stepped forward to try to subdue the child who lost the knife.But the kid ran away in the end, after he pushed Shuya to the ground with one hand and grabbed something on the counter with the other.

Although he was a bit unconvinced when he was pushed to the ground by a child who was only a little taller, Shuya felt that the main reason was because the child was wearing ordinary shirts and pants, and Shuya was wearing a kimono.Fortunately, the only ones who were robbed were the rice balls made by the two of Ying Ting's family and placed on the counter at noon. The books in the bookstore and the next month's protection fee in the safe were not lost.The book, which is estimated to be serious and precious in the autumn, is a pile of useless waste paper in the eyes of the little robber who can't eat enough.

Even children have joined the burglary team. I only hope that the situation here will be better after the leader recovers from his illness.

Shuya, who once again felt the security situation in Yokohama, said with emotion.

But unfortunately, the leader's illness did not improve, and neither did the law and order in Jiushu Lane.After the New Year, the law and order in Old Book Lane has not improved at all, and there are even more and more robberies of nearby shops.Although the bookstore is full of books and there are not many things to grab, the front desk only has the turnover earned that day, and sometimes there is not.But in order to prevent another robbery incident, Sakuraba Yasuo and Shuya chose to shorten the business hours and close the bookstore before sunset.

One day at the end of spring, Sakuraba Yasuo suddenly told Shuya not to go downstairs to help the next day, and then stay on the second floor and not come down to the bookstore.

"Huh? Can I know why?" Qiu Ye was looking at the bookstore's revenue account book and doing arithmetic calculations. In order to learn calculations, he took out the account books of the past few months to calculate how much money he earned, and then gave it to Sakura Ting Yasuo checked the answer to see if it was correct.

"Yesterday, people from the Hong Kong gangsters came to collect protection fees. I heard them say," Yasuo Sakuraba looked at the child sitting on the stool at the front desk doing calculations, and hesitated for a moment: "It is said that the leader is seriously ill. Kill all the red-eyed children."

"Kill...kill all...?" Qiu was also shocked by this word.

"Well, kill them all," Yasuo Sakuraba affirmed: "So you hide on the second floor first, and I will call you down when the situation gets better later."

"But...but I don't have red eyes." Qiu Ye said, swallowing.

"But you are a child, so be on the safe side." Yasuo Sakuraba couldn't refuse, and then sighed: "Besides, ordinary citizens like us have no way to fight against them."

Qiu Ye: "Okay..."

This incident refreshed Qiuya's understanding of the "port mafia". Originally, Qiuya thought that the port mafia and them probably belonged to a relationship similar to "employment". Most of the money, but the mafia will guarantee their law and order environment and personal safety.

But in fact, he seems to be wrong. They can protect the people on this street, and at the same time, they can easily cause harm to the people on this street.

Fortunately, Qiuya was not trapped in the room on the second floor for a long time. Less than a month later, Yasuo Sakuraba came to tell him that he could go to the bookstore to read and help or study, and he could even go out to the bookstore to play outside. Wander the streets of Old Book Lane.Although the street is still a little chaotic, their street has generally returned to safety.

Because, the leader has changed.In other words, the former leader died.

What Sakuraba Yasuo originally said was that although the new leader is still stabilizing power, it is all their internal affairs. Generally speaking, there will be no other organizations to disrupt this street.Well, you don't understand, you can just go out and play.

On the second day, Yasuo Sakuraba saw that the old book alley had returned to its usual calm, so he went out to buy rice at a nearby grocery store, while Qiu also chose to stay at home and look after the store.

When the time reached noon, Yingting second-hand bookstore welcomed a customer after a long time.

It was a boy who looked two or three years older than Qiu Ye. He was wearing a black suit and had short hair, but it looked a little fluffy because the tail was a little curly. There were a lot of bandages wrapped around his body abruptly, and he even had a hair on his face. Both eyes were covered with bandages.The midday sun should have been warm when it came in through the leaves of the tree outside the bookstore, but it didn't feel that way when it shone on him.

After he walked into the bookstore, he turned to the right and walked straight to the front desk, and said to Qiuya who was sitting on the stool: "Hi, I'm here to pick up the book, and the registrant's name is Mori Ogai .”
