Spirited Away Future Edition

The most convenient way from Kobayashi City to Ximiliang Village is by train. There is a shuttle bus from Kobayashi Station every hour. The shuttle bus will pass through a long tunnel, and the moment you exit the tunnel, there will be cherry blossom trees growing on both sides. It would be very beautiful if spring passes by, but it is not the season when Chihiro comes back. Now it is almost midsummer, and the green is spreading slowly.

The new colleagues who came here seem to have complained. Chihiro recalled that they complained about the weather or the traffic, and the shopping, food, and playground were all so bad.She lifted the bag to her shoulders again, and looked up at the fields outside the window. The dim street lamps had been quietly lit, which seemed to reflect the appearance of the sea in the distance.Chihiro has not seen the sea for a long time.

After getting off the train, you need to go up a section of the road. Looking in along the road, you will see many wooden houses with lush flowers, plants and shrubs behind the fence. Chihiro glanced at it from a distance. The lights are on, and you can see it from a distance. See the dim light through the curtains.

Carrying her handbag, she walked forward slowly, and a long shadow was cut under the street lamp, until she reached the door of the house, Chihiro suddenly looked back, and saw her own shadow, slender, slender and somewhat ugly.Unknowingly, she suddenly felt disgusted with herself, she turned her head and walked directly into the back room.

"I am back."

"Welcome home." Chihiro took off her shoes and listened to the response from the living room.Walking in, Dad was watching a variety show in front of the sofa, so he asked, "Where's Mom?"

"Maybe it's upstairs. Oh, the dinner is in the kitchen, you can get it yourself. Dad came back early today, and your mother and I have already eaten early." Dad watched TV intently, with one hand on the bulge On his fat beer belly, he leaned on the sofa cushions and enjoyed the show comfortably.

"I see." Qianxun went to the kitchen, opened the refrigerator, took out milk and eggs to cook, fried fish tofu soup, and put them in the microwave. At this time, her mother came down from the stairs, "Qianxun is back?" she asked While going down the stairs, he looked towards the kitchen and said, "I tidied up the room upstairs just now."

"Is my room tidy too?"

"How can you sleep in such a mess? You have to go to work again, so I'll tidy it up for you."

"I didn't say that I would tidy it up myself. Mom, can you stop entering my room at random and touching the things in my room."

"Your mother also kindly helped you clean up, Qianxun, how could you be so rude." Dad's voice came from the living room, with a reproachful tone.

At this time, the microwave oven made a "ding" sound, Chihiro took out the food from it, approached the dining table with the milk bottle between two fingers, sat down and drank the milk in the bottle, saw her mother sitting opposite her, asked He said, "Chihiro, how do you feel about your first day at work today?"

"Well, it's alright."

"How about your managers, who is the senior who brought you? Do you want to invite her to your house some other day?"

"It's fine, everyone is fine." Chihiro tried to eat as fast as possible, but his movements seemed a little childish.

I heard the mother on the other side say: "Chihiro, you are already 22 years old, shouldn't you learn to grow up and stop being like a child."

Chihiro paused, suddenly unable to lift the chopsticks in her hand, she let go, stood up and lowered her head and said, "I'm full, I'll go upstairs first."

Until she reached the corner stairs on the second floor, Chihiro could still hear the conversation between her parents, "It's the first day for your child to go to work, why do you mention something unhappy." "I tidy up her room today, and she put those Things moved back into my room again, hey, I said, girls play with dolls when they are young, but when they grow up, don’t they change it to make-up and shopping? Shouldn’t our Chihiro also grow up a little bit, she this year Both are 22 years old."

Chihiro stepped into the corridor, her slender ankles and sandals stepped on the dark wooden floor, making no sound like a lonely cat, she pushed the door open and locked it behind her.

It was Luo and Mikako, good friends from college, who called Qianxun. From the open window of the floor-to-ceiling windows, you can see the black mountain reefs in the distance. Slowly passing by in the distance, I can't see the sea from here, it should take a long way. "Otherwise, it's better to just move out of the house." Xiangzi suggested, "I already moved out of the house when I was in college, so there will be fewer arguments, and my mother will seldom bother me in my ear."

"Moving out can't solve the problem, but I just chose to escape. This kind of thing always needs to be faced head-on." She said to Miko on the phone, "I don't want to just walk away."

"Chihiro, you are like this, and it is because of this that you have come to this point. When you went to college to choose your major, you obviously chose the Department of Folk Culture, but when you graduated, you entered a corporation to serve as a stepping stone for a trading company. The reason is that your father is afraid of your hard work, so the girl should stay in the office and introduce you directly to his friend who is the director. You have followed your father's wishes and entered the company he wanted you to join. Now you You have to obey your mother's order again, now, Chihiro, you are already 22 years old, you still don't understand the meaning of this sentence?"

"What do you mean?"

"You have grown up, it's time to start looking for a marriage partner to marry and have children."

Chihiro hung up the phone, terrified, she quickly pushed open the porter and ran to the stairs, shouting down: "I don't want to grow up in my life!" After saying that, she ran home and immediately locked the door.

Pulled out a huge box from under the bed, which contained all kinds of miracle events and temple shrines collected by Chihiro since she was a child. She spread out a two-meter map, densely dotted with red marks , are the addresses of shrines that Chihiro had visited before.

Did Chihiro go back to that place again?Of course, she went back. At that time, she had just entered university, skipped Thursday and Friday classes, and came to this place alone with a travel bag. She was too timid before university, and she didn’t have the courage to come here again. Until she went to university, Chihiro felt that she had grown up and had accumulated enough courage to come here alone.

After a long period of psychological construction, anxiety, and abandoning Bailong's sentence of walking forward and not looking back, she started to walk back, as if she also wanted to prove that this was not a dream.

The school where I went to elementary school is still there, and its appearance doesn’t seem to have changed much. Looking out from the car window, I can still vaguely see the raised national flag, but the nearby street scene has changed. I haven’t been here for many years, and there are already trees nearby Giant-like monsters in armor that overwhelmed high-rise buildings.
