Holding the handlebars with both hands, I pushed the bike forward twice and started pedaling.

The car zigzagged forward.

"Be careful! Nuo'er is going to fall, be steady!"

"I...I know, but I'm not used to this yet..."

"Come on, come on! Noer is the best!"

At first, because I had no experience and couldn’t find my balance, I staggered around while carrying the girl behind me, and often had to put my feet down to support the bike. Later, I don’t know if it was because Yin Xiamo “trained” me well in terms of balance or if some of my memories were still there, but I gradually mastered the balance and my feet left the ground.

"Oh!"

As we were moving backwards, I began to drive Yin Xiamo steadily along this tree-lined path.

"Great!"

The girl behind me hugged my waist first, then let go: "This way, Nuoer and I will also have the beautiful love memories described in the book. I want to engrave this memory into my DNA!"

"Don't carve weird things into DNA!"

I was a little helpless in front of him: "Besides, this is just an ordinary shared bicycle. Don't most girls like handsome sports cars?"

"Do you think someone my age would like that kind of thing?"

Yin Xiamo seemed to be in a really good mood. I could feel her head buried in my shoulder from behind: "Being with the one you love, let alone a small car, even if we live together in a tree hole, every day will be sweet and happy."

"..."

The cool summer breeze kept blowing on my face.

As I continued to pedal, the breeze kept blowing through my hair and the hems of my skirt, bringing me a refreshing feeling.

I could vaguely smell the unique and elegant fragrance of the girl behind me.

After a few seconds of silence, I gently said, "Xiao Mo."

"Ok?"

The girl behind me raised her head from behind me and asked, "What's wrong?"

"I have wronged you all this time."

I suppressed my pounding heart and whispered, "Although I don't know what you have done and experienced since you came to Earth, I... I am an ordinary person and I may never know what has happened in the past few thousand years. I can't give you anything, so I can only comfort you like this."

"..."

"Fool."

The girl behind him said after a while: "I've already told you that your existence is the best gift for me, so don't be so pretentious!"

"It was you who was being hypocritical by the lake just now."

I said dissatisfiedly: "I have to go back in a pretentious way."

"Hmm? So if you are being hypocritical in Nuo'er's eyes, you have to be hypocritical back?"

As I was talking, I felt a pair of small hands slowly moving up along my waist, and finally stopped at my chest: "If I bully Nuo'er like this now, will Nuo'er do the same thing to me at night?"

"Hey! I'm riding a bike, don't...ah!"

"..."

Well, after being treated like this by Yin Xiamo, I remembered an inconvenient part of a girl’s body.

That is sensitivity, especially sensitive.

Whether it's the earlobes, collarbones, armpits, belly, thighs, calves or feet, I can feel it almost as soon as I touch it.

Besides, girls can’t really hold back the feeling, while men can probably just endure it and it will pass, but as soon as I touch them, my whole body goes limp and I can’t move.

This also led to the fact that when I slept with Yin Xiamo at night, I was usually the one begging for mercy under her.

I have never had a girlfriend and have no idea what girls are like, but Yin Xiamo knows all the weaknesses of my body, and I have no ability to resist when she plays with me.

"Get off...get off first."

I took Yin Xiamo to the entrance of a small path at the end of the medicinal plant garden, parked the car, and scanned the code to stop using it.

"There's a big garden in front. At the end of the garden there's a small slope with a tree on top. We can sit there for a while and drink some water."

While talking, I noticed that Yin Xiamo was looking around carefully, and I couldn't help but ask curiously: "What's wrong?"

"Ah...no."

Yin Xiamo came back to her senses: "This is the place... It's a bit remote. If an ordinary girl comes here and something happens, it will be difficult for people outside to hear it."

"Isn't it?"

I explained, "Although it's a bit remote, I definitely wouldn't come here if I were alone. Aren't you here with me?"

"Oh."

Yin Xiamo showed a strange smile: "It's okay, let's go in."

"Why do I feel like you've suddenly become mysterious?"

"Really not. Come on, I want to see the garden!"

"..."

……

No. 154 I draw a circle on the beach

Compared to the crayfish lake that has been maintained for a long time and has vegetables and fruit trees planted around it, this small garden at the end of the main road of the medicinal plant garden is much more hidden.

Although with the development of Kamihama City, the roads in the Medicinal Plant Garden have been significantly and effectively constructed, many small paths that required pulling branches for a long time to enter when you were a child are now paved with cement, and the main road has been expanded to a width that can accommodate two or three cars driving side by side, but the general style of the botanical garden has not changed. It is located in the center of the Glory District, and its internal roads are winding, and many small paths have disappeared. Except for the staff who come here to work and the idle people who come here to relax, basically no one will come to such a remote place.

For example, the place where Yin Xiamo and I got off just now is the terminus of Bus No. 7 in Shenbin City. To enter the botanical garden from that location, you have to walk a very long slope first. After entering, the main road is divided into two on the left and right. The right side leads to the "main park" inside the botanical garden. A car can drive along that road for seven or eight minutes to find the "Shenbin Chinese Herbal Medicine Company" in the center. Basically, no one will go there except the employees of that company.

Moreover, even the employees here, because of the special nature of their work, if I remember correctly, both the scientific researchers and the nearby cleaning ladies basically live in the company on weekdays. There are canteens, employee dormitories, bathhouses and many orchards and vegetable gardens inside the botanical garden. It is nearly an hour's drive from here to the city. If it is not necessary, no one will go in and out every day to and from get off work.

On the left side of the main road is the "viewing avenue" that Yin Xiamo and I walked on. There are even fewer people here. At a glance, there is only a winery and a farm house with little business near the entrance. Further in is the golf course. It is said that the store rents here are very low, but because most of the customers they serve are the "tycoons" in the Glory Zone, these entertainment venues are basically in a state of "closed during normal times, and can only make a living for a year after opening."

At least in my memory... that golf course was only open a few times a year, and the gate was often closed. Occasionally, some people driving luxury sports cars would pass by, open the door, go in, play a few rounds, and leave within an hour.

At that time, we often discussed whether those who came to the golf course to play golf had ulterior motives, that they were there to play golf but were there to eat and talk business. And it was estimated that what they talked about were not serious business, because normal people would not come to such a remote place to talk business.

After passing the golf course and continuing along the avenue, you will see a bunch of messy small paths. You can see that many of the entrances to the paths have small signs saying "If you enter this area alone, please make sure your phone has sufficient battery and good signal" and "It is easy to get lost, so those with poor directions please be careful" to prevent ignorant children from running in.

Of course, I have become accustomed to the environment here as I have lived nearby since I was a child. That "secret garden" can also be regarded as a "childhood memory" for us children from the welfare home.

“There are so many more trees here.”

Holding Yin Xiamo's hand, we walked carefully on the path full of bushes and trees. I observed the surrounding environment and sighed, "It was extremely desolate a few years ago."

When we got deeper into this kind of place, the surrounding roads were no longer paved with cement, and we could only walk along the compacted soil under our feet. In addition, the roads were very narrow, and after I became a little girl, I couldn't control the bicycle very well. Considering that it would be painful if I and some death god's new clothes were thrown off, I had to get off the bike and walk.

The further you go, the more trees there are around you. Relatively speaking, the originally hot weather seems a lot cooler because the green leaves of these big trees block the sunlight.

"I remember there was a big one here..."

Together with Yin Xiamo, we walked along the path at the end of the main road, through layers of tree-lined roads, and through many aisles made of vines. In a relatively shady place, I tried to push aside a bush next to me without scratching my skirt.

Suddenly, the familiar "Hundred Fruit Garden" in my memory appeared before me.

"It's still there!"

Walking through the branches, I carefully squatted down in front of the small flat ground covered with various fruits, and tried to pick up a few red fruits on the ground.

Raspberry, which we generally like to call "wild strawberry", is a sour, sweet, red wild fruit. The plants of this fruit basically do not grow large and are all on the ground. When it is ripe, it becomes a large red patch. People who don’t know it may think that it is too red, like the protective danger color of the plant, and it must be poisonous. However, locals or rural people who have lived in the suburbs of Kamihama know that this thing is very delicious. It is soft, sweet, melts in the mouth, and has an indescribable fragrance.

In addition to raspberries, there are many other plants here that can be picked and eaten directly: mulberries, twisted apples, wild cherries... and many wild fruit trees whose names I still can't remember.

This was the "second paradise" that only a few of us knew about in the welfare home at that time. However, it was much more remote than the "Crayfish Lake" mentioned earlier, and the only people who knew about it were me and a few other boys who have passed away. When we were living in the welfare home, we would go to the nearby area to pick wild fruits together during the holidays. As we were picking, we came up with the idea of ​​"Why don't we plant all the wild fruit trees we encounter together, so that it will be convenient to pick them in the future."

So, during those summer vacations, a few of us kids would go around the medicinal plant garden searching for edible wild fruit trees, dig them up, move them here and "plant" them, thus establishing a "hundred-fruit garden."

Later, as we went to school in other places, I gradually forgot this memory of my childhood - if I hadn't passed by here just now and saw the familiar hills and basins, I really wouldn't have remembered it.

What I didn’t expect was that the various wild fruits that we “transplanted” together when we were young have actually survived here and grown up.

Especially that mulberry tree, it has grown... taller than me, and May is the season when mulberries are ripe. At a glance, this tall mulberry tree is full of black and red fruits. Together with the wild strawberries and various small wild fruits on the ground, they form a beautiful little world behind the grove.

If I must say, mulberries are not expensive in the market now, and you can buy a lot of raspberries for just a few dozen dollars, but I don't know why, but when I see such colorful ripe fruits in this place, I feel like... I have seen an extremely precious treasure.

“Are these edible?”

Yin Xiamo, who followed behind me, looked at the various fruit trees in front of me curiously: "I don't know much about the plants in this world."

"Well, at least we used to eat it when we were kids."

I brought the rabbit backpack behind me to the front, unzipped it, and took out a small bag from it: "Wait a moment, I'll pick some and eat them on the hillside in the garden later."

"Let me help you."

Yin Xiamo took the bag and walked towards the mulberry tree: "Why does this fruit look like a worm?"

“That’s what happens with mulberries, and the tree does have worms.”

I pointed to a few silkworms that had taken cover because of our presence: "These are the only insects I don't find uncomfortable seeing."

"Oh……"

Yin Xiamo took the fruits from the ground and trees and put them into a small bag, not quite understanding what was going on. "What are the benefits of these fruits?"

“I don’t know what effect it has.”

I smiled awkwardly. "If you search for fruits online, you'll find all kinds of things like... calming the soul, quenching thirst, nourishing blood and dispelling wind...benefiting the five internal organs, promoting blood circulation and all that kind of nonsense."

"Is there any kind of..."

Yin Xiamo thought for a moment: "If you eat a fruit that makes you blush, give rise to lust, and make your mouth dry, and then you think about doing something shameful?"

I immediately felt the hair on my head stand up. "How could there be such an outrageous fruit? Is there such a fruit in another world?"

"This... another world really exists."

"..."

Yin Xiamo and I picked a small bag of wild fruits, then we left the wetland, carefully covered up the traces of our entry, and returned to the path we had taken.

It can be seen from the fact that this "Hundred Fruit Garden" is intact that usually few people come to this area of ​​the medicinal plant garden.

Just like Yin Xiamo said, it’s best for a little girl like me not to come here alone. Not to mention the weird uncles passing by, if I get bitten by a passing poisonous snake, even an ambulance won’t be able to get in.

Of course, I also took into consideration that my body is rather special now and I have a super boss like Yin Xiamo by my side, so I suggested coming to the garden to play.

It can't be possible... Xiaomo is more dangerous than the venomous snake pervert passing by?

"Look, it's this small slope. Over this side, it should be the garden."

After walking for a few more minutes, I breathed a sigh of relief when I saw that the road ahead was finally much wider. "I remember that you like flowers very much, Xiaomo? Why don't you bring some flower seeds back when you go back later?"

"what……"

Perhaps my words reminded her of some memories, Yin Xiamo was stunned for several seconds before nodding: "Okay."

It seems that "flowers" is also one of the keywords that trigger Xiaomo's sad memories...

Noticing the girl's reaction, I silently memorized her expression.

It is said that the amount of memory that a human brain can store is limited. Xiaomo is the god of death and it is unknown whether he can break through the laws of science and preserve all the memories of his past and present lives over 6,000 years.

Not to mention the year before last, even just ten or twenty years is already long enough for an ordinary earthling.

Ten years can change a lot. It can change a person, a street, a village, or a city.

What about the hundred years?

Those elderly people who have lived for hundreds of years should also recall their youth from time to time, right?

As for beings over a thousand years old… a thousand years is no longer something I can imagine.

As people grow up, they often forget a lot of things from their childhood. So, people who are one thousand years old or six thousand years old...would they forget even more things, right?

Xiaomo always remembers a certain "flower". Does it mean that this flower once left a strong scent in her life?

“Such a rich floral scent…”

After passing through the last clearing in the forest and arriving at a small hillside, Yin Xiamo and I both looked at the huge flower field below our feet.

"This is so beautiful."
