Chapter 38 Hot Springs

Zhao Chenzhi's original plan also included this trip to Japan, but he was delayed by chores and arrived 10 minutes before the plane door closed.After taking his seat, he panted for a while, and then fell asleep with his head covered. He still didn't wake up after the plane landed at Kansai International Airport and taxied on the runway for a long time.

Mark leaned his head over and asked, "Mr. Zhao is planning to follow the plane and fly back to China?"

Wu Yue was taking his luggage from the luggage rack, when he heard this, he said: "Leave him alone, he is tired, he will wake up sooner or later."

Zhao Chenzhi remained motionless, so Wu Yue had no choice but to pat him awake.After waking up, he didn't talk much, took his suitcase and boarded the commercial vehicle that came to pick him up, put on his blindfold and continued to sleep.

Mark, Xiao Xu and Tom Mao were so excited that they asked Mr. Hatoyama in very bad Japanese if they could eat kaiseki cuisine since they were going to Kyoto.

Hatoyama nodded and said Yoshi, since everyone likes it, I will take you to eat it.

He is a big expert in the catering industry, he can eat and is good at eating. With the friendship among his peers, he has successfully reserved a seat in an absolutely authentic old restaurant with a history of [-] years, which is extremely difficult to book.

But when everyone sat down in the restaurant, their interest was halved, because eating the food not only pays attention to the aesthetics, but also pays attention to the state of mind, red tape, strict rules, dare not speak, dare not move, and have to learn how to see the beautiful scenery of the courtyard. Tasting together with food, as well as quiet and indifferent, appreciating utensils, hanging scrolls, and flower arrangements... A meal is expensive, but after eating it is a bit boring, not too full, but also a little tired, not in my own shop at all. Relaxed and pleasant while eating in.

Hatoyama saw it, and smoothed things over and said, "This store may not be suitable for young people."

Wu Yue and the others quickly said no, no, no, we are not tall enough, and we must not let other young people take the blame.

Due to time constraints, the trip to Japan could only be arranged for three days and two nights at most. Hatoyama asked where he wanted to stay, and the answer was of course a hot spring hotel.

Hatoyama fully agreed, turned around and found a hotel in the mountains according to his own preferences. It was said to be a century-old hotel. After running over to see it, he found that it was small and exquisite. , The bamboo forest is green, as if time and space flow backwards.

Zhao Chenzhi liked this store so much that he wished he could buy it right away. Everyone worked together to prevent him from throwing cash at the proprietress and stuffed him into the guest room.

Hatoyama chased after him and warned that the store is run by three brothers and sisters. The eldest is 77 years old, the second is 70 years old, and even the youngest proprietress is 65. The other three or four employees are all over 50 years old. Don't do anything out of the ordinary To scare them out of their wits.Although these people are old, they still have to take care of ten guest rooms and restaurants, doing everything by themselves, and the workload is not small.

Zhao Chenzhi asked: "How much is this store?"

Hatoyama said: "If you want to buy a store, you must buy this mountain together."

"Oh, so it's the landlord." Zhao Chenzhi nodded.

Hatoyama advises: "In the future, you will often come and live here, so why keep it for yourself?"

Zhao Chen was startled, suddenly remembered something, and asked Hatoyama, "Am I very possessive?"

Hatoyama said: "You finally have a clear understanding of yourself. You are not strong, but extremely strong. It is difficult to let it go."

Of course Zhao Chenzhi was thinking about Wu Yue. He frowned and sat there until Hatoyama had been gone for a long time before he came back to his senses and said to himself: "This should be an advantage."

On Wuyue's side, several people are busy soaking in hot springs.

In the backyard of the shop, there is a small natural hot spring pool in a deeper valley.Since the pool is shaped like a dumbbell, with round ends and a narrow center, stones were used to build a barrier in the middle according to the situation, and it was roughly divided into men's soup and women's soup.The barrier is extremely low, at most twenty centimeters above the water surface, and people on both sides can offer tea to each other, shake hands and talk and laugh.

Mark, Xiao Xu and Tom Mao couldn't wait. They took off their bathrobes and jumped out of the pool naked. At first they were screaming and almost went to heaven, and they could only hum in comfort.

Hao Jiangnan was afraid of the cold, and it was late autumn at this time, the temperature in the mountains at night was only six or seven degrees, and it might snow a little in a few days.The guest room is still a few minutes away from the hot spring pool on the mountain road, and a thin bathrobe is not enough to keep out the cold. She thinks that although it is comfortable to soak in the pool, it will be uncomfortable before going down and after going up, so she hesitates whether to go down or not.

She asked Wu Yue, Wu Yue said with a smile: "Since you are here, why don't you experience it?"

The two went down the stairs together, and walked towards the hot spring pool under the guidance of the dim garden lights beside the path. Step on clogs with bare feet.

Hao Jiangnan shrank his neck and entered the locker room. After soaking in the pool for less than half an hour, he had to leave, because she didn't have a female companion, and it was really boring to be alone.Wu Yue's body was almost wet, and he accompanied her up without hesitation. On the way back, the temperature became lower and lower, and thin hoarfrost began to condense on the grass and trees. When they walked to the main building of the inn, both of them were frozen stiff.

Wu Yue sent Hao Jiangnan back to the room, the tatami quilts in the room had already been spread, Hao Jiangnan couldn't wait to get in and sleep.Wu Yue turned around and walked to his own room, passed by Zhao Chenzhi's room, saw that the paper sliding door was tightly closed, and the light was on, and he didn't know if he was there or what he was doing.

He hesitated for a moment, but finally didn't bother, and went back along the corridor.

He sleeps in the same guest room as Mark.Mark is good at everything, except that he is startled when he sleeps, and in the middle of the night he keeps screaming, crying, and talking in his sleep for no reason.

Wu Yue was woken up by him once at [-] in the morning, and again at [-]:[-], and now he couldn't fall asleep again.

The night is long, the shadows of the trees are dancing, the mobile phone has no traffic, I am tired of playing games, and I am afraid of affecting Mark when I turn on the light to read, so I have to wrap up in a down jacket and go outside after thinking about it.

There was no sound in the corridor, everyone had already fallen asleep, only a few wall lamps were left to illuminate.Today is just a full moon, the night sky is clear and cold, the frosty moon in the mountains looks high and far away, and the white stone dry landscape in the courtyard looks like snow under the moonlight.

Wu Yue had nowhere to go, so he strolled towards the hot spring pool, feeling that the surroundings were extremely quiet, and could almost hear the sound of falling leaves in late autumn.

The hot spring pool is still open, because some guests will come to soak in the pool in the middle of the night. The hotel does not arrange guards in the locker room, but there will be staff to clean it every few hours.

As soon as Wu Yue passed through the locker room, he found someone in the pool. Perhaps he knew who it was because he knew who that person was, so he wrapped his clothes tightly and approached the pool, squatting down and asking, "Mr. Zhao, are you so worried that you can't sleep at night?"

Zhao Chenzhi was submerged in the hot spring water, when he vaguely heard someone buzzing, he quickly raised his head, wiped his face and found that it was Wu Yue, and couldn't help laughing: "I worry about me, why can't you sleep? "

Wu Yue said: "I'm more worried than you, why don't you try to live with Mark?"

The water in the pool was as high as his chest, Zhao Chenzhi stepped on the rough stones at the bottom of the pool, and slowly leaned over.He didn't wear glasses, his wet hair was pulled back, and he looked different under the lamp than usual.Wu Yue took a few glances, coughed dryly to cover up, and turned his head away.

Zhao Chenzhi asked, "Are you coming down?"

Wu Yue refused: "It's comfortable when soaking, but it's too cold when it comes out."

Zhao Chenzhi said with a smile: "It's just a hot spring, look forward and backward. Aren't you cold standing on the shore?"

Of course it was cold, thin down feathers could not resist the coldness of the deep mountains, Wu Yue was shivering involuntarily.

Zhao Chenzhi said: "I have a compromise. You can still wear your clothes and soak your feet to keep the cold away."

Wu Yue glanced at him suspiciously, he smiled and said, "What are you doing? Worried about me eating people?"

Wu Yue raised his eyebrows, found a towel and folded it and sat under him, then took off his clogs and socks, and stretched his feet into the hot spring pool.He sighed comfortably as the water leveled up to his calf.

Zhao Chenzhi leaned on the base stone and proposed: "Why don't you come down together?"

Wu Yue pointed in the direction of the locker room and said, "I know what your plan is. Did you see an infrared probe installed over there? It should be used for security purposes. Don't act out of line and be caught by your Japanese friends... "

Before he finished speaking, Zhao Chenzhi suddenly leaned over and kissed his calf.He was so frightened that he quickly retracted his feet, but because it was too cold, he had to put them down again after a few seconds.

"Are you excited?" He widened his eyes.

"That probe is broken." Zhao Chenzhi smiled, "You don't understand Japanese, so you don't know. The proprietress mentioned this to Hatoyama during the dinner, saying that the probe circuit was broken for several weeks, but the person who asked to fix it It won’t be until next week at the earliest.”

Wu Yue stammered and said: "Even if it's broken, it's... this is a public place, people are always coming and going, don't..."

Zhao Chenzhi said: "We are the only ones staying in the hotel today, who else do you think will come here at this time?"

Wu Yue suddenly splashed water on his face with his hands, and said angrily: "According to the rules at this time, one should obediently enjoy the moon and couplet poems! Crossing the shadow of the crane in the cold pond!"

"Huh?" Zhao Chenzhi said.After a while he came to his senses, and continued with a smile: "Lengyue Zanghuahun. You are so annoying, you are interrupting me."

Wu Yue was wary of him splashing water in retaliation, but he was still merciful, and just wrung a hot towel and put it on top of his head, looking very leisurely, as if he really wanted to enjoy the moon.

Wu Yue secretly breathed a sigh of relief, but he suddenly clasped his ankles under the water.

"What are you doing again?!"

Zhao Chenzhi warned softly: "You will come down as soon as I exert a little force. For your down jacket, and for you not to soak until tomorrow morning to wait for Mark to deliver the clothes, I suggest you not to struggle."

Wu Yue had no choice but to freeze, and Zhao Chenzhi gently rubbed his ankles, soles, toes and calves with his fingers, really not knowing what he wanted to do.

"Chat, chat?" Wu Yue bit the bullet and continued to interrupt.

"Talk." Zhao Chenzhi seemed very satisfied with the current situation.

"What are you talking about?" Wu Yue asked.

"Let's talk about you." Zhao Chenzhi looked up at the full moon, which was gradually moving towards the west, and said softly, "Except for the time at your mother's grave, you seem to keep silent about the past. After your mother passed away, where did you grow up?" of?"

Wu Yue said in a muffled voice, "At the home of Hao Jiangbei and Sun Jiangdong."

"Oh..." Zhao Chenzhi nodded, "Is everything good to you?"

"It's good. I was almost changed to Hao, but Hao's father and mother did not meet the adoption requirements stipulated by the state." Wu Yue said, "It's just not good at all. I watched Hao Jiangnan become an underground worker from a young age. It is really sad."

"So you and Hao Jiangbei and Sun Jiangdong were childhood friends, were you classmates or neighbors?"

Wu Yue shook his head: "I'm neither a classmate nor a neighbor. Both Jiangbei and Jiangdong are a few years older than me, and Jiangnan is a little younger than me. It's hard to explain this matter, do you want to hear it?"

Zhao Chenzhi nodded and said yes.

Wu Yue bit his lower lip and begged: "Then let me go and let me talk."

Zhao Chenzhi's movements were already a bit blatant, his hands even stretched up along Wu Yue's knees - like all people who strictly abide by the rules of bathing in hot springs, Wu Yue didn't wear anything under the Japanese-style bathrobe.
