Chapter 636
In addition, I don’t know if it was the influence of the revival of the God of Rain. In short, according to some guests, their prayers have become much more effective than before. Such rumors spread in Narita City, which made Tenmu Shrine’s The reputation is more prominent than before, and it also brings a lot of fresh popularity.
For this reason, Bai Shuiqiu had to borrow two more people from the Shendai family to serve as part-time witches, which relieved some of the management pressure.
In such a slightly tense atmosphere, the days of winter vacation are gradually approaching.
Approaching together, there are also the travel plans of Shirai Shuiqiu and Keiko Kashiro—
Before going to Lantern Mountain, Bai Shuiqiu had promised to take Keiko to Hokkaido to see the snow after she returned smoothly.
And now, the preconditions for this promise have been fulfilled, and naturally it is time to put the latter half into practice.
Naturally, it is impossible to hide this kind of thing from Jiufeng Ziyuan and others.
So even if Bai Shuiqiu didn’t plan to make a big splash, after a simple discussion, the original two-person trip quickly turned into a group trip.
Jiufeng Ziyuan, Fengli, and Hongwu are definitely going to go together. Not to mention the old monster, the relationship between the latter two and Bai Shuiqiu has almost always been inseparable. Even if Bai Shuiqiu went to Hokkaido alone, he would definitely will carry them.
Then Asuka Hyuga and Kanako were also included in the travel list, as compensation for the two long-term part-time witches who worked hard at Tenmu Shrine.
Especially in the few months after the Rain God Festival ended, Bai Shuiqiu spent most of the time as a hand-lover, and almost completely left the work in the shrine to Keiko and Asuka. It was indeed a bit too hard for them.
Rain girl’s words mainly depend on her own wishes, but most of the time she will follow her.
Only Chiyo…
“Isn’t grandma going to go together?”
“Well, it’s said that I’m getting older and have inconvenient legs and feet. Let’s have fun there. Just come back before the evening of the last day of the month and have a reunion dinner together to welcome the New Year.”
“Oh well.”
Inside the bedroom…
When Shirai Shuiqiu and Chiyo came back after talking about their travel plans, Keiko Koujiro was packing the suitcase.
Although it is winter, and the travel time is only a few days, but the jacket can not be changed, but the inner clothes must be changed, and must be prepared in advance.
So at this time, Keiko Kashiro was folding pieces of clothing and putting them into the net pockets of the suitcase.
Jiufeng Shion was sitting at the desk, calling the hotel on the other side of Hokkaido, writing and drawing on the notebook, memorizing things.
buzz-
The phone that Bai Shuiqiu placed on the desk rang.
Jiufeng Ziyuan, who was closest to the desk, took a look at the situation and said casually: “Xiaoqiu, it’s a message from your mother… Said that you want to bring your sister and father to Narita City for the New Year, and ask your opinion. .”
“what?”
Bai Shuiqiu was stunned for a moment, then came back to his senses, walked over to the table and glanced: “Well… this kind of thing is of course up to them to decide, they can come when they want, anyway, they are all family, just happened to come over to accompany them. grandmother.
Presumably in the past few days when we went to Hokkaido, the shrine should be quite deserted, and grandma was lonely at home alone. ”
This is also the reason why Bai Shuiqiu wanted to take Chiyo out with him in the first place.
After confirming that her grandmother did not plan to play together, she actually planned to keep the puppet doll and the peach tree demon to spend a few days with Chiyo.
——After the Battle of Lantern Mountain, Bai Shuiqiu had tried to ask the Rain Master to teach the “Sound Transmission over a Thousand Miles” spell, but was told by the latter that it did not exist.
However, if the goal is only to allow the puppet doll to speak, there are still several methods. The puppet doll that can speak is basically equivalent to the incarnation of Bai Shuiqiu himself. Staying in the shrine can add a little popularity.
But now, it would be better for Kazuto and his wife to bring Yuxia over.
Thinking about it, Chiyo also really wanted to meet his son, daughter-in-law, and granddaughter.
Jiufeng Ziyuan held his chin and said as if he had remembered something: “By the way, Xiaoqiu, didn’t you say you were going to take Yuxia to the sky tree to play together, so the child should still remember this agreement? Otherwise, How about we take her to Hokkaido to see the snow?”
“These two things are not the same…”
Bai Shuiqiu really thought about it.
In fact, her own attitude is inescapable.
Although Skytree and Hokkaido are 108,000 miles apart, if Yuxia really wants to go, and Kazuto and his wife have no objection, then it’s okay to bring one more person. Otherwise, we can only wait for her, Keiko and others to return from Hokkaido.
With Bai Shuiqiu’s current flight ability, it only takes half an hour to fly from Tianmu Mountain to Sumida District, Tokyo. If you really want to go there to see the night view, you can do it at any time.
After Baishuiqiu’s news was replied, Baishui Jiashi seemed a little excited, and soon sent several messages one after another, saying that he would return to Narita City on Christmas Day. Bai Shuiqiu told his grandma about this again.
The last few days before the holiday have gone by in a flash.
It’s the 24th.
The winter vacation of Narita High School has finally arrived. Shirasuaki and Keiko Kashiro, the old monster, and Asuka came back from the school. They went up the mountain along the access road and entered the courtyard of Tenmu Shrine. They saw Yuxia Cong wearing a red down jacket. The inner room ran out and raised a small face at her from a distance: “Sister, you are back!”
In addition to Yuxia, the cat who signed the Shikigami contract with the little girl in Tokyo before is also there.
“It’s Yuxia.”
Bai Shuiqiu squatted down, opened his arms slightly and hugged Jie Xia, who had trotted all the way, in his arms, then glanced in the direction of the inner room, his eyes fell on the couple who had just walked out: “You guys are here.”
The couple stopped next to Jiexia, looked at her carefully, then smiled and said, “Xiaoqiu, long time no see.”
Chapter 868 Noboribetsu Hot Spring and Mount Yotei
To be precise, it’s only been a month since we saw each other.
Long before the Battle of Lantern Mountain began, Bai Shuiqiu made a special trip to Tokyo to say goodbye to his parents and sister, and euphemistically explained a few “futures”.
However, because she later returned from Lantern Mountain unharmed, she did not deliberately explain the Tokyo Bay to Heren and his wife.
Kazuto and his wife had called Tianmu Shrine and asked if the vision of heaven and earth over Tokyo Bay was related to Tianmu Shrine. After confirming that Bai Shuiqiu was all right, they did not continue to investigate.
how to say……
Even now, the status of this couple in Bai Shuiqiu’s heart is still lower than Chiyo, Keiko and the old monster, and even ranked behind Hongwu and Fengli.
But after the last meeting with Sana Baishui, Bai Shuiqiu’s mentality in this regard has also quietly changed a little——
In any case, these two are her biological parents in this life, and they are also one of the few people in the world who have the same bloodline as her. Since the latter already has the intention of repairing the relationship, then she does not need to. Don’t give any face at all, and make the relationship too stiff. That kind of result is probably not what Chiyo, who is an elder, wants to see.
“Father, mother… When did you come here?”
After Bai Shuiqiu rubbed Jiexia’s little head, he slowly stood up.
“Just arrived in the morning.”
It was Baishui Jiashi who was talking. The mother smiled slightly, looked at Baishuiqiu and Jiexia with soft eyes, and explained softly, “My husband and I have both asked for annual leave from the work unit, and Yuxia and her school are just on vacation. It’s okay to stay at home, so I thought about coming to accompany you and my mother earlier, so I came a day earlier… Xiao Qiu, how are you during this time, you seem to have lost some weight. ”
——The “Mother-sama” in Jia Shi’s mouth naturally refers to Chiyo.
“It’s not bad.”
Bai Shuiqiu didn’t feel that he had lost weight, but he must have become whiter. Not only the color of his hair, but also the skin tone on his body had changed slightly. However, the words of Kazuren and his wife are mostly just polite, there is no need to take it too seriously.
So she smiled quickly and said softly, “Is grandma still at home now? Let’s go in and talk, it’s a little cold outside.”
“Ok.”
Several people returned to the inner room together.
Bai Shuiqiu went back to the bedroom first, put down the schoolbag, and then accompanied Chiyo to chat with the Kazuren family for a while.
And Keiko Kashiro put on a witch costume and went out to the Shrine with Asuka Hyuga. As for Shion Shion, this woman was not instructed by anyone except Bai Shuiqiu, so Keiko Kashiro didn’t care what she was going to do.
In the meeting room.
In the conversation, Bai Shuiqiu mentioned his plans for a winter vacation trip.
“So Xiaoqiu wants to go to Hokkaido with Keiko and the others?”
When he heard this plan, Baishui Jiashi was slightly startled, then smiled and said: “Alright, I heard from my mother, you have been busy with school and supernatural things during this time, and your schedule is very tight every day. It is necessary to Take it easy. Have fun over there, your father and I will take care of you here at the shrine, don’t worry.”
Speaking of this, Baishui Jiashi paused for a while, then turned to look at Jiexia beside him: “By the way, does Jiexia want to go with Sister Qiu?”
“is it okay?”
The little girl didn’t seem to expect to be asked. After a slight stun, her dark eyes widened, her eyes moved from her mother to Bai Shuiqiu, and the expression on her face became extraordinarily excited.
Bai Shui Jia Shi did not respond immediately, but first glanced at Bai Shui and Ren, and the latter looked at Bai Shui Qiu, as if they were all waiting for her decision.
“OK?”
Bai Shuiqiu was a little unsure of what the couple was thinking, so he just responded tentatively.
This time, the couple looked at each other and seemed to exchange opinions with their eyes, and then changed to Baishui and said to Ren: “Alright, Jie Xia doesn’t have many opportunities to go out and play, and we are often worried that she will What happened outside, just like Xiaoqiu you back then…
If you don’t mind Xiaoqiu’s trouble, you can take Yuxia with you to go out to play. With your mother and me here at the shrine, there won’t be any problems. Just get in touch if something happens. ”
“Well.”
Bai Shuiqiu glanced at Jiexia’s eyes full of anticipation again and nodded.
With Yuxia, the list of winter vacation trips is completely finalized. As for the little girl, Bai Shuiqiu didn’t need to help prepare anything. Heren and his wife would definitely pack up everything they needed to carry, and then they could just take them away.
That night, the table at Tenmu Shrine became extraordinarily rich.
There are probably two reasons, one is because of the arrival of the Heren family, and the other is because today is also the eve of Christmas, which is Christmas Eve.
As a Chinese traveler, Bai Shuiqiu is not very cold about Christmas. He only knows that many couples in China will take advantage of this festival to send apples to each other, and merchants will also take the opportunity to launch some money-making activities.
But the people of Dongying are very concerned about this festival, which is almost a big day after the Obon Festival and the New Year.
Although it was impossible to place Christmas trees in the courtyard due to the special nature of the shrine, Keiko Kashiro and others still prepared some simple greeting cards and small gifts to give to each other to celebrate the arrival of the festival.
That night, Kazuto and his family stayed in the guest room in the shrine.
The next day was Christmas Day, and the shrine ushered in the most deserted day in the past month.
And on the third day.
Bai Shuiqiu and his party finally set off. With Yuxia, who joined the team, they started a long-planned trip. They flew from Narita Airport to Hokkaido early in the morning, and rented a minibus. Noboribetsu area in southern Hokkaido.
Because the departure time in the early morning is relatively early, until now, the time on the mobile phone has just pointed to 11:30, and the sky is bright.
Bai Shuiqiu came to Hokkaido for the first time. After getting off the bus, he couldn’t help but put his right hand on his forehead and looked around curiously.
The not-so-warm winter sun shone down from the sky, illuminating the white-dominated world.
At the end of December, it was already a freezing winter season. Due to the low latitude in Narita City, there was no sign of snow falling for the time being. However, Hokkaido, located in the northernmost part of Dongying, was already a vast expanse of white. Ice World.
Moreover, as one of the most sparsely populated prefectures in the East, there are almost no decent big cities in Hokkaido except for the “provincial capital” Sapporo. Numerous, rising and falling along the hills near and far.
So when I look at the past, there is a kind of lonely atmosphere of a thousand mountains and birds flying.
However, there was still a lot of fireworks in the place where Bai Shuiqiu and his party stayed——
This is a private hotel located on a low hill in the Noboribetsu hot spring town.
This place was arranged by Jiufeng Shion. Before this woman called Hokkaido at home, just to finalize the residence for this trip.
As one of the most famous hot springs in Dongying, Noboribetsu Onsen has always been the most popular tourist destination in Hokkaido.
Even in summer, many tourists come here for sightseeing and experience, and now it is the deep winter at the end of December, which should be the most popular season according to the rules. I can hardly see… no, I should say I can’t see the existence of other guests at all.
The reason is not that they come from remote places.
but because of…
When Jiufeng Ziyuan booked the hotel before, he had already bought the whole place, so this hotel of more than 1,000 square meters has completely turned into a private residence for Bai Shuiqiu and his party. Naturally, there is no possibility of being invaded by other guests.
“Wait… buy it? Isn’t it for rent?”
Bai Shuiqiu thought he had heard it wrong.
“Well, it’s just a small yard anyway. If you rent it, you need to consider whether the vacant rooms are continuous. It’s better to buy it directly. It’s not expensive anyway. Maybe you’ll come to play in the future, right?”
Jiufeng Ziyuan put his hands on his chest and said lightly: “Don’t worry, I just bought the property right of this land. This hotel is still managed by the original owner, so we just need to play with peace of mind. The rest is left to them.”
Is this the point of the matter?
Bai Shuiqiu hesitated, then glanced at the other side beside him.
Keiko Kashiro nodded with a smile: “Well, it’s really not expensive. The area of this hotel is not very large. Even if it is close to Noboribetsu Onsen, there is a certain premium factor, but 200 to 300 million yen should be enough. Bought it.”
“Ok.”
Bai Shuiqiu sighed silently and stopped talking.
Ok……
Sure enough, poverty limited her imagination.
The number of two or three hundred million sounds amazing, but it is really not too much for the old monster and Keiko, especially Jiufeng Shion. Probably selling three or five pieces of the antiques that he has collected will be enough to make up this number. .
On the contrary, because of age, Keiko Kamiyo has not yet grasped the financial power of the family. If he wants to use this amount of assets, he still needs to communicate with his father.
