Goodbye, Friends Book [comprehensive]

Natsume was sick, not very serious, but he had a low-grade fever all the time, and he was groggy. If no one asked him to eat, he could lie in bed and sleep for a whole day.

The illness came suddenly. One moment Natsume was chatting and joking with Shinozu, but the next second, his eyes darkened and he fainted. He went to the hospital for an examination, but his body was weak and his immunity was weakened. He needed recuperation, so he could only rest at home. hanging bottle.

In the pitch blackness, where you can't see your fingers, Natsume saw a person standing in front of him, wearing a blue gown like an ancient Chinese Hanfu, waist-length black hair, a delicate face, and a very gentle smile. .

Xia Mu took a step forward, reaching out his hand to see if it was illusory, but was inexplicably blocked by a layer of water vapor.

Dream?

The whole body is light and floating, but the touch is very real.

"Natsume-kun, don't get too close to me even in your dreams, I'm afraid the moisture on my body will affect you."

"……You are?"

It doesn't look like a monster, but why do you want to enter his dream?

"I am Gu Yu, one of the 24 solar terms in China."

"……god?"

"Well, it's here with you."

"My lord, is there something for me?"

"Yes, I need your help with something."

"……What's up?"

Natsume is very puzzled, what needs to be said in the dream?

"I used to be a human, Natsume-kun."

The man named Gu Yu frowned slightly, and told his story to the other party in a nostalgic tone.

Gu Yu used to be a human being and lived in the Tang Dynasty. One year his family suffered from a flood. He was good at water and saved many people. Because he hadn’t eaten all day, he was so hungry that he had hallucinations and mistakenly put a peony in the water. She was rescued as a girl, and it took a lot of effort to get the flower without being submerged.

Two years later, his mother was seriously ill, and everything that could be sold in the family was sold to buy medicines for his mother, but it was of no avail. When he was about to be unable to solve the problem, a girl named Danfeng appeared to help him. His mother recovered from her illness and her hair was all white. Turning black, Gu Yu likes her, and sometimes dreams of marrying her, he sees that his mother also likes her, so naturally he also recognizes this daughter-in-law.

But ever since his mother recovered from illness, Dan Feng stopped coming. After waiting for a long time, Gu Yu couldn't help but find her, but told her that there was no such person at all, and went home disappointed. He passed by Baihua Garden and heard the familiar laughter. , but no one was there.

He squatted among the flowers, thought it over carefully, and concluded that the girl named Danfeng should be the peony he saved two years ago, and now she is here to repay her kindness.

So he bowed to thank him, and got the news that the other party left two lines to go to his house to settle down next year, happily bowed three times to Peony, and went home.

Danfeng is a peony flower fairy. He has a vulture enemy. He is very powerful. He bullies the weak and kills the poor. He is a very bad monster. When he is seriously ill, he forces Danfeng sisters to brew flower wine to cure him. They are not willing to take their own. Blood went to cure the enemy, but she couldn't beat them, so she came to say goodbye to Gu Yu with the awareness that she would die.

Gu Yu, who was determined to save Danfeng, took an ax and set off on the road with a pack of medicine given by his mother. He walked for a long time before arriving.

He and Danfeng designed to trick Vulture into drinking the cup of drugged wine, and ran out of the hole when the other party lost his mind and killed each other, but was pierced by a cold arrow in the chest and fell into a pool of blood.

His name is Guyu, he was born in Guyu and died in Guyu. Danfeng buried him in Baihua Garden. Since then, every Guyu Festival, peonies will bloom beautifully to commemorate him. Peonies".

"The people above took pity on me, so they made me a little fairy." Gu Yu turned her eyes to look at the darkness ahead, and said with a bitter smile, "But I miss her."

"Miss her?" Natsume tilted his head, "You two separated?"

"She offended Empress Wu and was demoted to Luoyang."

"what?"

Empress Wu?The only female emperor in China who is famous in history?

Isn't peony in Baihuayuan?How could he go to Luoyang?

Probably because Xia Mu's question was too obvious, Gu Yu explained with a chuckle: "Danfeng is a peony flower fairy. Although she lives in Baihuayuan, if she wants to go to other places, it's time for a stick of incense. After all, peony flowers are more than Baihuayuan. Yes, Chang'an City also has them."

Chang'an?

The ancient capital Xi'an...

Natsume suddenly remembered the Shimizu brothers.

"Empress Wu ordered a hundred flowers to bloom, and the other flower fairies took advantage of Empress Wu's power, and they all bloomed against the season, but Danfeng refused, and was demoted to Luoyang."

Natsume doesn't quite understand why Huaxian is afraid of humans?Even if the other party is a high-ranking majesty, it is impossible for a fairy to listen to her arrangement.

"Natsume-kun, the luck of the royal family, sometimes even the immortals are afraid of three points."

"So... you were demoted?"

"Well, Empress Wu's luck is too strong, and Danfeng was trapped on the flower branch possessed by that energy and couldn't break free..." Finally, it was transplanted to Luoyang.

"What can I do for you?"

You won't let him go to Luoyang, will you?

"I need you to wake her up for me."

"where is she?"

"At the hospital, Tokyo Hospital."

"Hospital?!!"

What do you mean?

"Peony flowers can't live for 1000 years, Natsume-kun."

"Ah..." That's right.

"Danfeng was trapped in the peony flower and was not released until the end of its lifespan. However, the practice was delayed, and in order not to dissipate, it entered reincarnation."

"How do I wake her up?"

"Use this." Gu Yu floated a flower seed in her hand to Natsume's palm, "Plant it next to her, use your spiritual power to warm it, and it will bloom soon."

"that's it?"

"Yes, that's it."

Natsume lowered his head to look at the flower seeds, which were engraved with beautiful patterns, and the skin was light golden. He tried to inject a little spiritual power into it, but with a soft "poof", it actually germinated.

"so amazing……"

He muttered under his breath.

The tender green bud turned its head, and touched Natsume's finger affectionately, it seemed to grow a little longer.

Natsume blinked and smiled.

After being ill for a long time and lying down for too long, the body is like a machine that has not been oiled. When I get up, the bones of the whole body are ringing and slow.

Natsume took a deep breath and sat on the stone bench in the garden, lying on the table and staring at the peonies he had planted in the pots in the morning, thinking about what reason he should use to visit Danfeng at the Tokyo Hospital.

Oh, now her name is not Danfeng, nor is she, but him.

Xintian Miao is his current name.

A year ago, he was in a vegetative state due to a car accident, and his family could hardly afford his medical expenses. Recently, he began to discuss taking him home.

In the eyes of others, this is actually nothing. Although it is not as convenient as the hospital, the key is that because of his illness, the family house was sold, so he had to rent a house outside. In order to pay off the debt, his parents went to work every day and night. Since he was a nurse, he could only ask his idle younger sister to take care of him, and this younger sister was so sloppy that she couldn't control herself, let alone take care of her elder brother. She thought it was him who caused her to lose her comfortable home, and abused her in various ways when she was in the hospital. home...

A vegetative person lives in the hospital, and the expenses are a bottomless pit before he wakes up. It is understandable for his parents to do so, but his sister is too hateful.

The money on Natsume's body can't help the other party at all, and it's impossible for Auntie Kazumi to help someone she doesn't know at all. He has passed the time of innocence, otherwise there are countless people in Japan who are seriously ill. If he knows, Can you help me?

Forget it, let's go and have a look first.

He poked the peony bud that had grown ten centimeters in just three days, and smiled.

Hope it goes well.

Natsume went to the hospital with a flower pot in his arms and took a basket of fruit. He asked the nurse and went to the ward. When he got to the door and hadn't entered yet, he heard a girl talking ugly things inside.

"You are stupid too. My brother is a loser in the hospital in this state. He can make some money by selling his organs while he is still alive. Isn't there insurance? If he dies, he can also lose a lot of money!"

"Qianqianqian, you know Qianqian, he is your brother, do you still have heart!!"

"I have a heart, why don't you feel it, it's still dancing."

"You want to piss me off, you just want your brother to die?!"

"Isn't he still dead? Besides, a vegetative person is not the same as dead. The chance of waking up is pitifully small. Don't we keep him like this until he wakes up? But let me explain in advance, I have other things, I don't take care of him !"

"you!!!!"

It seemed that the mother and daughter were arguing inside, and Natsume couldn't listen anymore, so he knocked on the door politely and asked, "Excuse me, is this the Nitta-kun's ward?"

"Ah, wait!"

The old man's voice was flustered, and she muttered a few times before opening the door for Natsume.

"This is Xintian's ward, may I ask who you are?"

She has gray hair and wrinkled face. It is said that she is almost 50 years old, but now she looks older than the 60-year-old old lady. She must have been tossed about by her son.

"Mr. Xintian once helped me. I have inquired about him for a long time, and I only found out that something happened to him recently, so I came to see him."

"Oh, please come in."

"Brother helped you?" Xin Tianxin, with a head of dull yellow hair, looked at Natsume with his arms folded around his chest. When he saw the blue fruit in his hand, he snatched it directly without any politeness: "Give it to my brother." Thank you." Then he picked up an apple and rubbed it on his body, and gnawed it directly.

"Xiao Xin!!"

Mrs. Nitta gave her a kick.

"Why, isn't the one given to my brother just for people to eat? Could it be that my brother should eat it? He can't eat it now."

"You!!" Mrs. Nitta gasped angrily. After taking a few deep breaths to calm down, she apologized to Natsume with a smile: "Sorry, I made you laugh, my daughter is not sensible."

"fine."

Natsume said that he didn't care, but Nitta Xin's words were really ugly. How could there be such a sister in this world?

"By the way, what did my brother do for you?" After taking a few bites of the apple, Xin Tianxin took another dragon fruit, opened the knife on the keychain, and asked while peeling it.

"Ah...he saved me who was being bullied by the gangsters at that time."

What Natsume said was a little guilty, and sure enough, if she lied once, she had to make up for it with another lie.

"Then you are here today to repay the debt? How do you change it? How much do you plan to pay?"

"Xiaoxin, shut up!!" Mrs. Xintian couldn't help but slap her disappointing daughter to see if she could wake her up.

"Am I wrong? I just came to see if I didn't come to repay the favor. I have no sincerity at all." Nitta Xin curled his lips, but instead gave Natsume a dissatisfied look.

"Get out of here! Hurry up!!!"

"Hmph, just go out!" Xin Tianxin rolled his eyes, and led the fruit basket out of the room.

"Ma'am, calm down, you won't get well if you get angry."

It's hard for an upright official to decide on housework, so it's hard for an outsider like Natsume to say anything.
