Nagato, who had completely mastered the skateboard, made a handsome brake and stopped in front of Yahiko. The snowflakes splashed by the skateboard also made Yahiko smile.
"It's fun to play, it's fun to play, I'll give it back to you."
Seeing the ninja from the Land of Rain happily returning his skateboard to him, Big Bear's IQ suddenly began to rise rapidly.
"Would you like... to do that again? Three... no, two hundred taels will do!"
"Is it really possible?!"
Nagato was startled, but before he could take out his wallet, Yahiko pulled him aside.
"There are still many things to be busy with in the Kingdom of Rain! We are not here to play! Let's go quickly!"
"Hey~~"
"What the hell! Hurry up and continue on your way, that's the serious thing!"
"But Xiaonan said she also wanted to play."
"Impossible! How could Xiaonan think..."
Before Yahiko finished speaking, he noticed that Konan's turned away face seemed to be slightly red.
"I...it doesn't matter. After all, I have to hurry."
Xiaonan said silently, at the same time, Yahiko had already taken out his wallet and took out the private money that he had treasured for a long time.
"One more lap!"
"Um!"
Daxiong, who took the money from Yahiko, gave a thumbs up, with a big and honest smile on his face.
Play whatever you want! As long as you pay, you can play as many laps as you like!
…
The journey that originally only took four hours actually took four more hours because of fun!
It wasn't until nightfall that the three of them arrived at the ship docking station at the border.
Looking at the deflated wallet and Nagato and Konan who were having a great time, Yahiko curled his lips and put away the wallet with only a few coins left.
"Really, it took me so long just to play. It's too expensive!"
"Yahiko."
Looking at Konan who turned around with his eyes bent and full of smiles, Yahiko didn't realize that the danger had quietly come.
"What's wrong?"
"Where did your money come from?"
Hearing this, Yahiko's heart skipped a beat, and he suddenly remembered the things he had ignored!
It's going to be bad!
Yahiko, who pretended that nothing happened, rubbed his head and said with a smile: "Hahaha... Actually, I think it is necessary to relax properly after work. Uh-huh! That's right! That's it! Okay, I've relaxed too,
We should go back!"
"Don't change the subject for me! Tell me clearly!"
"ah--!"
Seeing Konan and Yahiko getting into a fuss, Nagato shook his head helplessly, and he really couldn't understand why Yahiko liked such a fierce woman.
There are so many gentle and tolerant women in this world, why would you choose this one?
"Let's go have a bowl of soba noodles when we get back."
Nagato looked at the starry night sky and sighed softly.
…
A quiet village on the border of Snow Country.
This is the nearest station for the snow ninjas who follow the raging waves. As for why I say recently, it is because the snow ninjas have never stopped in the past few months.
Follow the raging waves and walk around in the Land of Snow. When you reach a place with people, you will stop and stay for some time.
Without the support of the Fenghua family, no salary to earn, and no tasks to take on, Nu Tao has indeed lost a lot of weight recently.
As for the snow ninjas who followed Nu Tao and slept in the open, even though they didn't know what Nu Tao was doing, they didn't complain at all, because Nu Tao no longer treated everyone as mere tools.
It's a bit wrong to call him a retainer, because Nu Tao now treats Snow Ninja more like a friend and a partner.
In the dilapidated wooden house, there were only two frozen hard rice balls and hot water in a wooden cup on the dilapidated wooden table that had been coated with pulp for at least ten years.
Under the dim yellow steam lamp, the unshaven Nu Tao, who had lost weight more than once, was concentrating on recording what he saw and heard along the way.
I am trying to find a path to prosperity that is most suitable for the Snow Country through what I have seen and heard with my own eyes.
Stupid Bear: "No! This is mine!"
Xue Beng: "Are you going to eat it all by yourself? Master Nu Tao only has two hard rice balls for dinner! Hand over some to me quickly!"
Fubuki: "By the way, where did you get the money? Tell me quickly!"
Listening to the noise outside the door, Nu Tao stopped writing and raised his head, then got up and walked towards the door.
…
After hearing the words of Da Xiong who was being bullied by Fuxue and Avalanche, Nu Tao was dumbfounded. He never expected that he could get a windfall in this way.
"Don't be ridiculous! How could anyone pay for such a boring thing?" Xue Beng didn't believe it.
Daxiong, who was guarding a sack of rice balls, argued: "Those rain ninjas were so happy sliding! They even said that there was no snow at all there! They slid back and forth a lot! One lap was two hundred taels, a total of
…”
Looking at the gap that Big Bear lowered his head and counted with his fingers, Xue Beng and Snowbird cut a hole in the sack.
The rice balls were delivered to each snow ninja's hands through Avalanche and Fubuki's hands, while the poor bear was still counting on his fingers.
Originally, Nu Tao, who didn't care about this kind of thing, casually reminded him a few words and then went back to the room to continue thinking about the way out of the Snow Country. However, the moment he turned around, he suddenly thought of something.
"Is snow... really rare for other countries?"
"What are you talking about? Master Nu Tao?" Fubuki, who was eating sweet rice balls, said, "It's snow in winter in other countries, right? How can this kind of thing be rare?"
"What about other seasons?" Nu Tao asked.
"In other seasons..." Fubuki thought for a while, "Maybe you can't see it."
After nodding, Nu Tao silently returned to the room without answering.
Nu Tao has an idea... to make money!
…
Time flies, and two yeas pass by in a flash.
The land of snow, the city of wind and flowers.
At night, Fenghua Xiaoxue, who was almost seven years old and could not find her father, finally found Zaoxue in a room with six mirrors.
When Zaoxue saw Xiaoxue, she gently called her over. Don't tell her daughter that you can see the future - spring in the mirror.
Looking at her daughter who didn't understand what spring was, Zaoxue felt a little uncomfortable. Basically no one in this country had ever seen real spring.
After asking Xiaoxue to close her eyes and imagine the scene of the spring flower field, the expression on Xiaoxue's face that yearned for Zaoyue also softened.
"You are very happy, right? As long as you don't give up and keep believing, spring will definitely come."
Zaoyue spoke softly, but she didn't expect that her daughter would open her eyes and frown when she heard this.
After a moment, Xiaoxue lowered her head and shook her head in despair.
"Father, Xiaoxue... doesn't want spring."
"Huh?" Zaoxue was a little surprised, "Why?"
At this time, Xiaoxue raised her head and said with a serious face: "Because snow cats will die. The book says that snow cat babies can only live in snowy mountains. If it is spring, all snow cat babies will die."
.”
At this time, Zaoxue was suddenly stunned, and then she laughed dumbly: "Hahaha, it's okay Xiaoxue, the snow cats will definitely find a place that suits them."
"No! Snow cats hate spring!"
Zaoyue stopped laughing, raised her head, and sighed softly: "But human beings yearn for spring from the bottom of their hearts."
"Not Xiaoxue!"
"Okay, okay, get ready for bed. My princess."
Zaoxue stood up and hugged Xiaoxue, her face full of doting.
"You must not hurt the snow cat, father!"
"Hey, hey, listen to Xiaoxue."
Although she said this, Zaoxue was still determined to perfect the environmental transformation machine in her heart.
Even though even his younger brother was opposed to this kind of thing, Hayayuki still didn't give up and was determined to complete this invention within a few years so that the country of snow could be renamed the country of spring!
By the way, Nu Tao came back once last year and took some records of the lives of the people at the bottom, trying to persuade Zaoxue to stop investing tax money in the research and development of that kind of thing.
However, Zaoxue refused. Zaoxue felt that there would be no one in this world who did not long for the arrival of spring.
Nu Tao, who had a quarrel with Zaoxue, finally left Fenghua City again.
You are right. Zaoyue believes this from the bottom of his heart. As long as spring comes, the people of Snow Country will feel happy!
…
"Hmm? There is also an ice and snow park at the ski resort that receives foreign tourists at the border of Snow Country?"
After hearing the report from the third doctor, Zaoxue was also very surprised.
"Well, I heard that the income is quite good, and some people living in Fenghua City also submitted requests to work there after hearing about it."
"Hmm..." Zaoxue thought for a while, then waved her hand, "Whatever, it's also good to increase exchanges with other countries."
The environmental modification machine is the most important!
Everything else doesn't matter!
This is Zaoxue’s obsession.
Hayayuki, who didn't take this matter to heart, would never have thought that the country of Snow would undergo such changes one day in the future just because of this kind of thing...
