Pick up a cultural relic as a daughter-in-law

"Where is your home? We've circled here several times!"

After walking for several hours in the ice and snow on the Changbai Mountain Ridge, his feet were numb and unconscious. No matter how good-tempered Ren Chen Wenzhao was, he couldn't help it.He turned his head and stared at the laughing little boy riding on Xiao Rui's shoulder, wishing he could grab the kid by the ear and yell at him a few times.

"Are you going to throw him down?" Xiao Rui was very cooperative, grabbing the kid's leg expressionlessly.

"Wow... help... Uncle, mother is going to kill me... woo woo woo..." The kid hugged Xiao Rui's head and began to cry. Chen Wenzhao watched as Xiao Rui's hair was messed up by him, and his nose Tears all rushed to the top of Xiao Rui's head.

"Be honest with me." Xiao Rui didn't show any sympathy, and stretched out his hand to grab the kid by one leg and dragged him down, holding him in the air like this, looking coldly at that coquettish little face: "If you make trouble again, you will pluck all your hair."

"Woo..." The little ghost drooped his head, a bit like a puppy with drooping ears, and muttered in a low voice: "Mom bullies people..." Glancing around, there were tourists coming and going, and the little ghost was getting fat again. Shouting loudly: "Mom bullies, dad hugs..." Shouting, he opened his arms and danced towards Chen Wenzhao.

Tourists were attracted and looked over one after another, looking around strangely. Chen Wenzhao couldn't take it anymore, grabbed the kid and hugged him, and covered his mouth with his hand: "Ancestor, don't make trouble?" Seeing a hot spring hotel in front of him, he said to Xiao Rui: "Let's go there to warm up first, and call the police when we get inside, and hand this kid over to the police."

The hotel is located on the hillside, and there is a small hot spring outside that is steaming. There is an old man selling hot spring eggs and hot spring corn by the side of the hot spring. When Chen Wenzhao passed by, the little ghost wanted to eat, so I had to buy it for him. One, and bought some for himself and Xiaorui by the way, before entering the house.

It was off-season at this time, and the hotel was very clean. After Chen Wenzhao went in, he yelled a few times before someone came out slowly.This is a tall, thin man who is nearly 40 years old. His half-length hair is brushed and draped behind him. He casually wears a pair of pajamas wrapped in a blanket. When he sees Chen Wenzhao, he greets Chen Wenzhao warmly: "How long will you stay?" Oh my God?" Because of a cigarette in his mouth, his speech was slurred.

"Well, the signal on the mountain is not good, and I can't make calls on my mobile phone. I want to borrow your residential phone number, can I?" Chen Wenzhao smiled politely.

"Don't you need to find a warm room first? You don't look very good, do you?" The man frowned, looked at Chen Wenzhao, and finally fell on Xiao Rui, and he narrowed his eyes slightly: "Little brat, don't pester me." guest!"

With such a roar, the kid who was still hugging Xiaorui's thigh suddenly froze, and ran up to the man with his head down, "Dad..." Before he finished speaking, the kid made a puff , sneezed so loudly that everyone almost stumbled.

The man frowned, grabbed the kid by his collar, lifted him up, and patted the wooden wall behind the counter: "Hey - come out and see your son, he seems to have a cold."

This is a slightly Japanese hotel, probably to match the theme of hot springs, the floor and walls are all wooden design.There is a thick cloth curtain on the wooden wall behind the counter, which is probably the place where the owner lives and rests.After the man knocked, it didn't take long for the cloth curtain to be lifted, first revealing slender white hands, and then a man in a Japanese yukata came out from inside.The man picked up the child, nodded politely to Chen Wenzhao and Xiaorui, and said, "Welcome."

Rather than saying that the combination of two men and a child is strange, it is better to say that Chen Wenzhao was attracted by the man who came out.This person doesn't look very good-looking, but the slender phoenix eyes, small nose and red lips, and the whiter and more transparent skin under the black and smooth hair make people feel that they are so unusual sense of delusion.In addition, Chen Wenzhao always felt that this person's indifferent expression, haughty neck, slightly raised chin and the feeling of looking at people with the tip of his nose seemed familiar...

"gone."

Suddenly his arm was pulled by Xiaorui, Chen Wenzhao turned his head and found that Xiaorui was staring at the man with a hostile look, but the man just glanced at Xiaorui contemptuously, and went back to the back room with the kid in his arms.

"How about I take you to the room for a rest?" At the beginning, the uncle broke the weird atmosphere in time, and then led the way, his slippers creaking on the aging wooden floor.

The room the boss gave them was an ordinary standard room, but in Japanese style. Chen Wenzhao was uncomfortable with the sliding doors and tatami mats, but the geothermal heating made him feel very comfortable stepping on the floor with bare feet.

This hotel is too small, it seems that there are no other service staff except for the two bosses. The uncle boss came again later and brought a pot of soju and frostbite ointment, saying that they should drink to warm their bodies, and told Chen Wenzhao if If you have frostbite on your body, don't soak in hot water immediately, otherwise it will easily lose the flesh.

"Xiao Rui, how do I feel that something is wrong..." Chen Wenzhao muttered, took off his coat and shoes, and hissed.

"Frostbite?" Xiao Rui grabbed Chen Wenzhao's hand and looked at it, feeling a little cold to the touch.

"Hands are fine, but feet are numb." Chen Wenzhao said, breaking away from Xiaorui and taking off his socks, his feet were startled—not only were they blue and purple, but they were also swollen: "It's okay." , Just use hot water to make bubbles, Xiao Rui, help me get a basin of hot water... Eh? Xiao Rui!"

While Chen Wenzhao was still talking, Xiao Rui reached out and grabbed his ankles, wrapped his palms lightly around his feet to keep them warm, then moved closer, and approached the part that couldn't be wrapped by his hands directly into his arms.

"What are you doing stupidly..."

"Does it hurt?" Xiao Rui looked up.

Chen Wenzhao was a little embarrassed, and lowered his voice: "It's okay, but you don't need to do this, I can just soak in water."

"Soak it in a while, doesn't it mean soaking in hot water immediately to lose the meat." Xiao Rui shook his head stubbornly: "Let me know if you are conscious."

Chen Wenzhao hummed. He was really embarrassed. After all, he was a big man, and it was too embarrassing for another big man to hold his feet in his arms. Liquor and ointments.

"Is there any place on your body that is cold?"

"No...not anymore." Chen Wenzhao quickly shook his head.

What Xiaorui wanted to say, he opened his mouth and didn't say anything, but his expression was still unconfirmed.After a long time, he suggested: "Why don't you just take a bath, and your whole body will be warm."

Half an hour later, Chen Wenzhao was sitting naked in the wooden barrel soaking in the barrel, while Xiao Rui stood by and couldn't drive him away no matter how hard he tried, and even started wiping his back voluntarily.

"I'll have to carry you out later." Regardless of Chen Wenzhao's discomfort, Xiaorui gently wiped Chen Wenzhao's shoulders as if contented with himself. The frozen skin turned slightly red under the hot water, and Xiaorui suddenly Because Chen Wenzhao walked with him in the snow for so long, I feel a little guilty.

"Your face seems to be..." Xiao Rui put a hot towel on Chen Wenzhao's red and swollen cheeks, and frowned.

"Disfigured by co-authoring?" Chen Wenzhao smiled, the frostbitten part of his body was itchy and uncomfortable: "Anyway, I'm an old man and don't care, hehe, it's been about half an hour, I can't soak anymore." Chen Wenzhao said thinking When he got up, Xiaorui said "I'm coming", put his hands into the water, and hugged him by the waist.He grabbed the towel and wrapped it up for him, and put it on the bed.

In the past, when the emperor served the emperor's bed in the palace, it seemed that they were all wrapped up naked after bathing and carried to the dormitory.

When Chen Wenzhao was laid down on the bed, such a sentence reflected in his mind, and his face turned red.

"I, I'll wipe it myself..." Struggling to sit up, Chen Wenzhao hurriedly stopped Xiaorui from wiping him back and forth—if this kid got an erection, he would be ashamed: "Xiaorui , borrow a hair dryer for me."

Xiao Rui was about to help Chen Wenzhao apply the ointment, when he heard this sentence, he hesitated for a moment, nodded, and went out anyway.

Taking advantage of him going out, Chen Wenzhao quickly wiped himself and tidied himself up neatly. When Xiao Rui came in, he had already put on his bathrobe and sat on the tatami and regained his composure.

"Would you like a drink?" Xiao Rui plugged in the hair dryer and began to help Chen Wenzhao dry his hair.

"Hmm..." Chen Wenzhao was served by Xiaorui, and he felt comfortable with his scalp being gently grasped. He stretched out his hand to pour a glass of shochu, and took a sip: "It tastes quite light."

"Stay here and leave when you are well?" Xiao Rui gently rubbed Chen Wenzhao's hair, his eyes focused.

"It's not a big problem. I think it's better to forget it. Besides, this hotel... always makes me feel uncomfortable." Chen Wenzhao felt uneasy and shook his head: "That pale-skinned man, his expression makes me feel uncomfortable." I always feel like I’ve seen it somewhere, but it’s not like ordinary people anyway... Forget it, don’t wait until it’s dark, let’s go back, and I don’t know if the jeep is still there.”

"Actually, the people here are not bad people." Xiaorui said softly, but Chen Wenzhao couldn't hear it when he was overwhelmed by the sound of the hair dryer. When he looked back at him suspiciously, Xiaorui nodded and said: "Okay. "

After taking a short rest in the room, their bodies were almost warmed up. Chen Wenzhao and Xiao Rui were fully dressed and ready to go out.Xiao Rui still glanced at Chen Wenzhao with a little worry: "Can I go?"

Chen Wenzhao was overjoyed, and thought that my foot was frostbitten, not broken, and deliberately teased him: "What if I can't walk, why are you still holding me?"

Xiao Rui was stunned for a moment, but nodded with a serious expression: "It's hard to hold, I can carry you on my back."

Now it was Chen Wenzhao's turn to be speechless, he shook his head, he really didn't know how to communicate with Xiao Rui, so he simply ignored him and opened the door.

The door had just opened a crack, and suddenly something came in through the crack, a fluffy mass of white, Chen Wenzhao was startled, and just as he took a step back, the door was suddenly opened by someone from the outside.

"Stinky boy, where are you going!" The people outside yelled, and rushed straight into the room. With a bang, the entire stand dived into the water and slapped on the floor.

Chen Wenzhao was completely stunned. Isn't this person the hotel owner?

Taking a closer look, Chen Wenzhao finally saw clearly that the little fur ball that rushed in turned out to be a little white fox, which was chasing by a big man and running around the room.

Chen Wenzhao pondered for a while, opened his mouth, and the original sentence "Why are there foxes here?" changed to "Can you help me?"

The boss was swearing and obviously had no time to talk to him, so Xiao Rui stretched out his hand and pulled Chen Wenzhao aside, protecting him behind him, watching this man calmly circling around like a monkey.

"Little fox, come here!"

A cold cry came from the door, the little fox was stunned for a moment, and was almost caught by the big man.Chen Wenzhao turned his head and saw the other owner of the hotel, looking down at the little foxes scurrying around on the ground with his shoulders on his shoulders, looking rather majestic.

The little fox whined twice, but couldn't go over.The man frowned: "Can't you make it through?" Asking this, the little fox had already climbed onto the window sill, trying to open the window by himself.

Click, the window was quickly opened, and the little fox trembled, trying to jump out from the third floor.

Chen Wenzhao and the uncle boss shouted danger at the same time, the man behind him snorted softly, and in a blink of an eye, Chen Wenzhao only saw his clothes falling limply to the ground, followed by a large group of white hairs rushing to the ground like floating dust. On the window sill, he leaned out and grabbed the little fox by the neck, then shook the fur on his body, jumped down arrogantly, walked slowly to the uncle boss, and threw the little fox to him.

"I'm sorry, I surprised the guests." The big white fox opened and closed his mouth, and what he said turned out to be human.

Chen Wenzhao felt that he was really startled now, if it wasn't for the fact that Xiao Rui beside him was not a normal character, he would have been so frightened that his legs were weak.Sure enough, he got used to being surprised. Chen Wenzhao really admired himself. At this moment, he was still in the mood to turn his head and look at Xiaorui, and whispered to him: "Is he superior to you? He can still speak human words after becoming like this... "

"..." Xiaorui and Chen Wenzhao looked at each other, but his body was already tense, and Chen Wenzhao felt that if he opened his mouth at this time, it would be a threatening grunt.

Suddenly, something flashed through Chen Wenzhao's mind, and he said to himself: "I remembered, no wonder this person looks so familiar... He looks so much like Boss Qin!"

"Call me like a fox? Xiao Chen, are you praising him or scolding me!"

"Wuuuuuuuuuu..." As soon as the voice came out, Xiao Rui finally erupted, protecting Chen Wenzhao behind him, and lashed out at the person coming from the corridor.

"Boss Qin!" Chen Wenzhao was stunned for a moment, staring blankly at the person who came, thinking why this person couldn't help muttering so much, then he saw Wang Wei following Boss Qin and happily winking at him.

"I said, Xiao Chen, is your physique recruited? Why do we have your share every time we come into contact with supernatural events?" Wang Wei laughed loudly, and the tense atmosphere broke for a moment: "It's okay Son, we are all friends! Our boss and Inari’s family are old friends, and today we’re here to catch up on the old days. Coincidentally, we met!”

"The Inari family?" Chen Wenzhao frowned in confusion.

"The Inari family is a family of foxes that protect the god of Inari, and their lineage originated from Japan." The uncle boss had already relaxed at the moment, and he was sitting on the tatami mat and rubbing his sore knee just now, talking It was the white fox with a lonesome expression, and his tone was full of pride: "Inari God is the god of grain and food, and in charge of harvest. This god is unruly by nature, unrestrained, has no shape, and has no fixed place. Therefore, our fox As his envoy, he is responsible for doing many things for him." After saying this, he glanced at the imageless man on the ground.

Chen Wenzhao nodded half-understanding: "I seem to be a little impressed by what you said. Many shrines in Japan enshrine Inari God... But why do you make your home in Changbai Mountain?"

"It's not surprising, is it? Originally, we non-human species were mixed with you humans. Isn't there one beside you? Shouldn't you be surprised?" The uncle boss smiled and said lazily: "Young man, since we are destined, do you want to stay for a drink and a meal? My little fox seems to like you very much."

Chen Wenzhao originally wanted to say no, but Wang Wei also became excited, and rushed ahead of him and said, "That's right, there are so many people, and you can play a table of mahjong at night. It is said that the bean curd sushi at Inari's is also first-class. It's a good food, right! I haven't been in a hot spring for a long time..."

"It's good to stay, it's cold outside, and walking is not good for your recovery." Xiao Rui glanced at Boss Qin unhappily, and when he looked down at Chen Wenzhao, he breathed a sigh of relief and asked him with his eyes.

Chen Wenzhao thought for a while, nodded, and smiled at the two bosses: "Then I will disturb you."

This trip is probably one he will never forget in his life.Stretching out his hand to hold Xiao Rui's hand, Chen Wenzhao smiled in relief. With this kid, he should have been prepared long ago for the unusual things he encountered.
