"It's been a long time." He was out of breath after walking a few steps.
"Sit down and rest for a while." Bai Wei picked up the tribute, unscrewed a bottle of water and handed it over.
Yingzhou's tributes will be taken away after worship, and if not taken away, they will only be eaten by crows or other animals.
Because he took it, the owner of the tomb didn't have any extra reaction, and it didn't erode everyone around him indiscriminately.
"Thank you." Yamada took the water bottle, took a sip, and after taking a breath, he gently stroked the bumps on the barley tea bottle: "Boss Bai, you don't ask anything."
"Everyone has a story, and when they want to tell it, they will tell it naturally. I don't like to ask other people's secrets, and I hope others don't ask me." Bai Wei's answer is very emotional.
"Yeah, when you want to say it, you will naturally say it, but you will feel bad if you are held accountable."
Yamada lowered his head, his desire to confide had reached its peak, and it was natural to tell these stories.
"Every time I come to worship, my mood doesn't get better, but I still come here from time to time. If I don't come, I will gradually forget it. I am worried that I will forget it. Once I escape once, I will forget it later. will remain unseen.”
His throat rolled, and after swallowing the spit with difficulty, he said in a hoarse voice as if he was crowning himself with a crown of thorns.
"The Yoshino family was... killed by me. It was I who killed their family and ruined their family."
His eyes were in a trance, and in the blink of an eye, it seemed that he had returned to eight years ago.
Eight years ago, Yamada was a salesman who had just joined the company. He was ambitious and had a strong desire for money and social status.
He runs business outside every day, constantly reserves land for the company, and in order to get customers to sign the land sale contract, he dares to say almost anything and make any promises.
For this reason, he did a lot of bad things, and added small traps in the contract, asking for kickbacks, but at most he could only endure a few reprimands, and it was over by bowing his head and giving gifts. Middle class, climbed to a decent position.
Just when his career was going well, he encountered a thorn. At first, he didn't care much about it, and thought of using the old methods to fool him, but the other party's persistence was far more difficult than he thought.
This is the Yoshino family. It is said to be a family, but there are only two father and daughter. They run a wagashi shop, a time-honored shop, which is quite famous in the vicinity, but their shop has been planned as part of the development. If you want to take a detour , it is necessary to revise the plan, which is a huge investment, which means that many land acquisitions in the past have become invalid land acquisitions.
Yamada spent a whole few months trying to make things tougher, but all of them were stopped. Even if he offered a price three times higher than the market price, he couldn't get it. There was only one reason——
This wagashi shop has a history of 300 years, and the general has praised it, and it must not be allowed. This is also Yoshino's wife's last wish.
At that time, Yamada couldn't listen to these words. In his opinion, the other party was just greedy, but he really couldn't offer a higher price. After thinking about it, facing the pressure from the upper class, he chose the choice he regretted most in his life.
He offered to ask another department of the company to help.
Originally, Yamada thought that at most it would be to beat people with his hands, or smash the shop, and add some threats or something.
But he was wrong...
At that time, the Sanada group was equally ambitious. They had just been established and wanted to establish their prestige through fierceness and make a name for themselves in the Kanto Union.
After receiving a new job, he naturally thought about how to do it. From the initial threats to the subsequent smashing of the store, Yoshinoya still insisted on opening, and even aroused the anger of the neighbors, and drove away Jidao several times.
This made Team Leader Sanada furious, and finally chose the method of kidnapping to force Yoshino to submit. It should have ended here, but the situation got out of control.
Even if the old man Yoshino signed, his daughter could not come back safe and sound.
Judging from the results, his daughter was not defiled by the Yakuza of the Sanada Group but by a group of bad boys.
——This is actually not uncommon in Yingzhou. It is not uncommon for young women to be kidnapped by hooligans.
These teenagers were all sent to the juvenile detention center. No one knows whether there is revenge from the Sanada group behind this, but the life of Yoshinoya's daughter has been ruined.
She chose to end her life with a white rope.
After the death of his daughter, old man Yoshino also went half-crazy, and he rushed into the office of the Sanada group on a heavy rainy night.
On that rainy night, Yamada came back drunk from the company celebration banquet and met the dying old man Yoshino.
He knelt on the ground, knowing what happened before and after, and watched the old man die with his own eyes.
Until he died, he stared at Yamada with hatred, and died with regret.
Chapter 45 Three Avenues Go Central
After listening to Yamada's story, Bai Wei just let out a sigh.
He doesn't judge.
The world is full of suffering, like a house of fire and a sea of suffering. No one can imagine the consequences of their decisions, whether they think of heaven or hell.
He can say "it's not your fault," but it's also hypocritical to say it.
Of course Yamada was at fault. His fault was that he was eager for quick success, and that he did not consider the consequences.
But he is not the chief culprit, nor is he a heinous and unrepentant villain.
This incident left a very serious psychological shadow on Yamada, so that his operating strategy in the company has changed a lot in the future.
Correspondingly, his career came to an abrupt end, and his status did not continue to improve. As an ordinary salesman, he ushered in a decadent middle age.
No wife, no children, all alone.
I come to visit the cemetery once a week, and every time I am overwhelmed by guilt.
Whether this kind of forgiveness is enough, Bai Wei is not qualified to say, but the deceased still feels that it is not enough...God knows how long this torture will last.
"Let's go, visit the shrine." Bai Wei said.
Yamada smiled humbly in response.
……
There are not many people in Hanagi Town, but it is very lively when it is busy, because there are geisha performing at night, and you can only go in and see it after paying the entrance fee.
Bai Wei has also seen it a few times, but he doesn't think that group of geisha who smeared their faces pale is any good.
He stopped in front of a stone tablet and raised his head. There was a vermilion torii gate in front of him, and the shrine was beyond.
While stepping through the torii, you can clearly feel the aura in the air is more abundant.
Torii and shimenawa can build a simple enchantment, and the built domain is occasionally called "the domain of the gods". In fact, it is called 800 million ghosts and gods on Sakurajima. The height of the first floor foundation is far inferior to that of Buzhou Ruins, Kunlun Mountain, or the thousand-year cathedral of the Holy Kingdom, the Sky Garden of the Empire and the Pale Castle... The gap is like the Forbidden City and a one-bedroom apartment.
improvise……
can live...
If so, this spiritual energy is sealed up anyway, which is much better than the outside world where it flows naturally. There is a big difference between having a house and not having a house.
No house, no way!There is a house, all right!
Climbing up the stairs and entering the shrine, Bai Li picked up the wooden spoon and took water from the stone pool beside him to wash his hands. Just as he poured it down, a white cat jumped over and licked the water from his palm. He cared, but just shook his body and shook the water droplets.
The shrine doesn't have a more formal name, and is usually called Hanagi Shrine, and in Sakurajima, where shrines are everywhere, small shrines are not uncommon, and the gods enshrined here are not the usual big gods, but cats.
This shrine enshrines cats, and has more than 20 cats. They are not afraid of strangers, and they will pester them for food. They are fat and solid.
After a while, several cats appeared under Bai Wei's feet. Some of them stretched out their paws to grab his shoes, while others bit their pants and pulled them. They were very familiar.
Surrounded by a group of cats, Bai Wei walked along the path of worship. Right in front of him was the shrine, with a cash box, a shelf for placing ema boards on the left, and a tree on the right with white lottery paper hanging on it.
In the afternoon, there was no one in the shrine, and Bai Wei didn't see that lazy witch.
I cast five yen, rang the bell, and joined hands to pay homage.
Yamada, who was on the sidelines, also sincerely paid homage. Those who feel guilty about their sins will always believe in gods and ghosts more firmly.
With this visit, the debuff of the evil spirit infection on his head also dissipated.
"I feel a lot more relaxed," he said sincerely.
Bai Wei nodded: "It's a pity that I can't give you the amulet on my body. Next time, you can go to a better shrine to ask for an amulet."
Yamada scratched his head: "That's not cheap."
Walking out of the shrine after a simple visit, just after passing through the torii gate, I suddenly heard a sharp cat cry.
On the road outside the shrine, there was a huge orange with its waist arched, its fur threatening, and a low "hahaha" sound from its throat. Opposite it was a tricolor cat. This is a tricolor cat with dry fur. , obviously an old cat, with deep tear stains in the corners of its eyes, it looks like it hasn't been cleaned for a long time, but there is a collar hanging around its neck.
Unlike Daju's overreaction, it didn't explode, nor did it arch its waist, but looked in the direction of the two of them.
"Meow——" Daju continued to press forward.
The three-flowered cat shook its tail, turned around and jumped onto the fence, before disappearing around the corner.
Daju just gave up, shook his head, and turned back to the torii gate. The cats on the side also kept watching and did not dare to approach.
Yamada looked interesting, he wanted to touch the orange cat, but was twitched by the tail.
"This cat is really fierce."
Bai Wei squatted down, stretched out his hand and scratched the orange cat's chin: "Thank you for driving it away."
"Meow—" it raised its paw, implying something.
"I didn't bring any dried fish this time, I will definitely do it next time."
The orange cat immediately changed face, chased after meowing a few words, and walked away cursing.
Bai Wei masturbated the free cat for a while, and Yamada took the initiative to leave: "I still have work in the afternoon, so let's go first, and I will continue to bother you next time. Staying with Mr. Bai's family, I will feel very relaxed involuntarily."
Bai Wei looked at Yamada for a while: "If you can introduce me to a beautiful girl, I will welcome you even more."
Yamada was taken aback for a moment, then laughed loudly: "If you don't mind, I know some shops."
"I'm not talking about shops." Bai Wei shook his head: "The skin and meat business has been banned in the Ming Dynasty for a long time."
"I misunderstood." Yamada thought for a while: "Are you talking about a blind date?"
"It's too early to talk about marriage directly, I just..." Bai Wei said: "I'm a little ready to move, I want to find a girlfriend."
"Uh……"
"I'm in my early 20s. Isn't it normal to find a girlfriend? It's rare to come to a foreign country. What's wrong with finding a local girlfriend?"
"Ah, I just didn't expect such an outstanding person like you to be single."
"Are you looking for fault?" Bai Wei raised his eyebrows.
"Ahem, I still know a lot about interpersonal relationships. There are also young and beautiful women in the boudoir. If you really want to know, I can also introduce you."
Yamada changed his attitude. This is a good opportunity to get closer. He has been doing business all year round, and he knows the family situation and interpersonal relationship of many customers very well: "For example, there is a daughter of Chunxiao Electromechanical, Hua Kazama, that is really true. Noble, generous and talented, at a young age..."
"Oh oh oh, don't you understand it well...explain it in detail!" Bai Wei patted Yamada on the back and said enthusiastically, "I'll take you to the tram stop."
As long as certain topics are talked about, men's friendship can always be quickly drawn, and a person like Yamada can always quickly become a good buddy of others.
The one with the old seal.
On the way to leave, Bai Wei kept noticing that something was following the two of them, taking it easy.
