Chapter 638
Of course, Jiufeng Shion is also fine, but this woman is a monster, and cannot be compared with humans.
Moreover, this woman’s sitting position is more open than Bai Shuiqiu’s, with her hands open and leaning on the stone surface behind her, the middle door in front of her chest is wide open, she looks a bit like that kind of carefree middle-aged uncle.
And the S-shaped figure, which is perfect in any way, also made Keiko Kashiro and Kanako show a faint look of envy…
As for the rain girl, she did not participate in the hot spring activities from the beginning, but sat silently on the side.
——After all, this woman is a monster born in cold water, and it is still a bit out of tune with hot springs.
The peaceful atmosphere slowly dissipated with the hot water vapor.
suddenly……
A slightly cold wind blew from the side, blowing away the smoke lingering above the hot spring pool.
Before Bai Shuiqiu opened his eyes, he heard Keiko Kashiro’s voice next to him softly, with a hint of surprise:
“Snowing.”
Chapter 870 From now on, we will always be together (final chapter)
Bai Shuiqiu slowly opened his eyes and looked up at the sky above his head.
It is indeed snowing.
Snowflakes have begun to appear in the sky. At first, they are like catkins in early spring. Then, with a slightly cold wind blowing over, these tiny snowflakes gradually gather together, forming a heavy snow with goose feathers. It fell from the sky, dyeing the whole sky white.
The hot spring that Bai Shuiqiu and others soaked in was open-air, and there was no roof or something to block it, but because of the high temperature, the hot steam formed lingered over the hotel, so it didn’t feel cold.
But it’s not good to continue soaking.
wow-
Bai Shuiqiu straightened his waist slightly, and after getting up from the hot spring, he took a bath towel and wrapped it around his body. He walked to the shore with bare feet and stopped, then slightly spread the palm of his right hand and looked up at the sky.
A white snowflake fell on her palm, in the shape of a hexagon.
There were a few soft noises in the pool next to it, but it was Keiko Kamidai who led Yuxia back to the shore. As the youngest child in the audience, the little girl had a stronger tolerance for high temperature than Keiko and others. I went into the water twice, and I was obviously a little excited when I saw the snowy scenery at this time, shouting that I was going to have a snowball fight.
Bai Shuiqiu didn’t know whether to laugh or cry: “Alright, alright, Yuxia has to be good, the snow has just started to fall, and even if we have a snowball fight, we won’t be able to fight, so let’s wait until tomorrow when the snow accumulates, then Keiko and I will play. Sister, and Sister Asuka and they play with you, can you?”
In front of the elder sister Bai Shuiqiu, Jiexia was quite obedient.
He was soon taken back to the wooden shed by Keiko Kashiro, and went to get dressed——
It is not too cold near the hot spring, but there is no need to run around in the yard without clothes. It is still very important to keep warm in time.
“By the way, the old monster’s prediction is quite accurate…”
After Bai Shuiqiu watched the figures of Keiko Kamidai and Yuxia walk away not far away, he turned his head and looked in the direction of the hot spring again.
At this time, Jiufeng Ziyuan had just come out of the pool water, and came to Bai Shuiqiu naked, the water droplets on her body were agitated by this woman’s demon power, and evaporated to dryness at a speed visible to the naked eye: “Well, as expected, it is still with the naked eye. I guessed the same, it snowed before the night came. Go to Mt. Yotei later to see the night view, and wait for the sunrise tomorrow?”
“The night view of Hokkaido should be nothing to see, and it’s too cold.”
The weather here is different from Tokyo. It may be better in the city. It is possible for the snow mountain to drop to minus thirty or forty degrees at night. Even if Baishuiqiu has spiritual power, he does not want to go to the mountain at this time. Blow cold air. Besides…
“Well, I know you’re not afraid of cold, Mr. Shion, but can you go back and put on your clothes before talking?”
Bai Shuiqiu glanced at Jiufeng Ziyuan’s indifferent appearance, and the corner of his mouth twitched slightly.
“Ah, sorry sorry.”
Jiufeng Ziyuan apologized lightly, and then raised his foot in the direction of the wooden shed. After walking two steps, he paused again, and turned his head to look at Bai Shuiqiu again: “By the way, Xiaoqiu, are you not going to get dressed now? , a bath towel can’t keep out the cold, right?”
“I…wait for a while.” Bai Shuiqiu said with a light cough.
After several people changed their clothes and returned to the lobby on the first floor of the hotel, the fireplace in the lobby was already burning, and the orange-red fire was jumping, illuminating the surrounding floors and walls.
At this point in time, it is not good to go out casually.
So the group sat in the hall, while watching the snow outside, they distributed some snacks and started playing games.
Of course not video games, but some traditional folk games in Eastern Ying.
For example, “Double Six” – this game was passed from Tianzhu to Dongying. It is a bit similar to flying chess, that is, the participants alternately roll the dice from the bamboo tube, move the pieces according to the points, and the first player to reach the end wins the game;
There is also a song by Hundred People – this game is a card game like Hua Zha, but it requires a higher cultural quality of the participants. When you hear the singer sing a certain piece of poetry, you need to draw the corresponding card from 100 cards. The player with the most cards at the end wins.
The rules of these games are relatively simple, and there is no limit to the number of participants. They are very suitable for the whole family to play together during the New Year.
However, Bai Shuiqiu hadn’t had much contact with him before, so he was a little unfamiliar. Hyuga Asuka and Yukatsu are similar.
Only Keiko Kashiro and Kanako seem to have played more often, and they are both good players. At this time, they began to play a role in guiding the team. For a time, the hotel lobby was filled with a cheerful air.
In such an atmosphere, time passed quickly.
When night fell and the time on the wall clock indicated that it was almost ten o’clock, Bai Shuiqiu and the others packed up and returned to the room on the second floor to wash up and fall asleep.
The heavy snow has not stopped at this moment. From the corridor on the second floor, when I look into the courtyard with the yellow light, I can see that the entire courtyard has become a vast expanse of white, covered with trees and rockeries. Layers of pure white snow, only the hot spring pool is still braving slightly hot water.
“Go to bed earlier, Xiaoqiu, I’m going out to play tomorrow.”
Jiufeng Ziyuan put a hand on Bai Shuiqiu’s shoulder from behind and said softly.
Bai Shuiqiu took his eyes back from the yard and finally took a look at the slightly misty snow falling near the lamp, then returned to the room, lay on the warm bed, pulled the quilt and fell asleep…
The night passed peacefully.
At six o’clock in the morning, the sky was just bright.
Bai Shuiqiu woke up following his biological clock, lifted the quilt, sat on the bed, and looked out the half-closed window.
From the window at the moment, it can be clearly seen that the snow-covered Mt. Yotei has a more special beauty than the original snow-capped appearance.
bell bell –
An alarm clock sounded.
But it was Keiko Kamidai next to him who opened his eyes, turned off the alarm on the phone next to the pillow, yawned, and looked at Bai Shuiqiu:
“Um… are you going, Qiu-chan?”
“Yes.”
Bai Shuiqiu smiled and nodded.
She and Keiko are both awake, Jiufeng Shiyuan is no exception.
When Bai Shuiqiu brushed his teeth and washed his teeth, when he returned from the bathroom to the room, Keiko Kashiro had already put on his down jacket and snow boots, turned his head to look at her, and whispered, “If you are ready If I leave, I’ll let Ryoko drive the car over… It’s an off-road vehicle that was assembled yesterday, and if it’s near Lake Toya, it shouldn’t be a problem to drive there.”
“Can.”
Seeing Bai Shuiqiu nod, Keiko took out her phone and started calling Ryoko.
In fact, with the abilities of her and Jiufeng Ziyuan, you don’t need to drive at all, just fly all the way there…
But that would be too shocking to the world. They came here on vacation, not to create a bunch of urban legends for the sake of appearing in front of people.
So, it’s better to be low-key.
Speaking of which, such snowy weather is indeed not very common.
If you are an ordinary tourist, you will definitely avoid traveling in this weather, because it is easy to cause the accident of heavy snow closing the mountain——
The news of tourists or skiers being trapped in the mountains or even dying because of accidents is not an isolated case in Hokkaido. It is said that there are hibernating bears on some mountains, and occasionally wake up to go down the mountain for food.
But for Bai Shuiqiu, there is no such concern at all.
The only thing that can threaten her and Jiufeng Ziyuan is a large-scale volcanic eruption or a tsunami, and such things are close to zero probability events.
Even if she encounters beasts such as bears and tigers on Mount Yotei, it will not affect her mood to play, and even that may be more exciting.
“Is Sister Ryoko ready for the car?”
“Well, it’s parked at the foot of the mountain outside the hotel now. It’s an off-road vehicle bought from Sapporo City. Even in such weather, it should be able to come and go freely.”
“Ok……”
Bai Shuiqiu no longer struggled with the question of how much the trip cost.
Anyway, the price of an off-road vehicle will never be in the hundreds of millions, and hundreds of millions, for Keiko, it is probably just pocket money for a few months…
After explaining a few words to Asuka Hyuga and Kanako who had just woken up, and asking Yuxia to take care of them on their behalf, Shirai Shuiqiu left the hot spring hotel together with Keiko Kamidai and Shion Shuon, and was driven by the old monster, carrying The two of them galloped away in the direction of Lake Toya along the snow-covered road.
Snow is still heavy.
When the three of Baishuiqiu came to the lake not far from Mt. Yotei, the sky was a little whiter than before. Although it was still a cloudy day without sunlight, it was already possible to see a vast white scene between the heaven and the earth.
It seems that only their car exists in a radius of more than ten miles, and because of the low temperature, Lake Toya shows signs of freezing slightly. Snowflakes fall on the ice, dyeing the lake into a more dazzling White.
“There is no way forward.”
Jiufeng Ziyuan turned off the car and opened the door: “Let’s walk through the rest of the distance, it shouldn’t be too far.”
“good.”
By this time, the snow was already thick.
When you step on it with one foot, you can leave footprints on the snow that do not reach your calf.
In the process of moving forward, Bai Shuiqiu looked at Dai Keiko several times, a little worried that the girl would not adapt.
Fortunately, the physique that was “blessed” by the Rain Master was good enough. Even in such a windy and snowy weather, Keiko Kamidai only turned slightly red, and did not show any heart attack. I was also in the mood to make a few jokes with Bai Shuiqiu.
But when he came to the foot of Mt. Yotei, Keiko Kashiro couldn’t go by himself, so Bai Shuiqiu picked up the girl by the waist, and then volleyed into the sky with Jiufeng Ziyuan, like two light birds flying into the sky , After just half a minute, he came to the highest point of this snow-capped mountain and fell next to a slightly flat rock.
The snow here is much thicker than below.
When he landed, Bai Shuiqiu tried to withdraw his spiritual power, and his whole body sank immediately, sinking directly into the snow from the waist down.
“Would it be a very interesting thing to have a snowball fight here?”
Bai Shuiqiu recalled what Yu Xia had said when he was in the hotel just now, grabbed a handful of snow and threw it at Keiko next to him.
Keiko Kashiro was a little surprised, but she quickly realized that she also formed a snowball and threw it back towards Bai Shuiqiu.
Jiufeng Ziyuan was also quickly involved.
Of course……
Whether it was Bai Shuiqiu or Jiufeng Ziyuan, they didn’t use the slightest bit of demon power, but purely used ordinary human-level physical fitness to throw snowballs around.
Bai Shuiqiu had not played this kind of game for many years, and the last time he played it might have been in his previous life.
As for Jiufeng Shion and Kamidai Keiko, one is a thousand-year-old monster, and the other is a heart patient who has lived in a glass room since childhood. Naturally, it is even less likely to play often.
Therefore, the movements of the snowballs of the few people seemed unfamiliar, but at this time, there is no need to care about these details.
The clumps of snowballs passing through the air, as well as the occasional shouts, resounded on the top of this snow-capped mountain, with subtle echoes.
When walking around the top of the mountain, occasionally someone would stumble and step into the snow pit.
Out of the need to keep warm, Bai Shuiqiu and Keiko Kamidai were wearing thicker clothes than usual at this time. When they rolled a few times and then got up, the down jackets were already covered with white snow, which looked like two people. Like a small snowman.
When the head and clothes were covered with snow, and the body began to sweat slightly, several talents stopped in unison, panting lightly.
“Okay, enough to play, let’s sit down and watch the snow scene for a while.”
Jiufeng Ziyuan waved his hand at will, melting the snow on the rock, revealing the original flat stone surface, and then spread out his wings like a carpet: “Sit down, Xiaoqiu. There is also Keiko. .”
The warm demon power brewed from the wings of the old demon, dispelling the whistling mountain wind and the surrounding chill.
Fortunately, there is Jiufeng Shion.
Otherwise, with Bai Shuiqiu and Keiko Kamidai, especially the latter’s physique, they would easily catch a cold after sweating and staying in the ice and snow at minus one or twenty degrees after exercising like this.
The air gradually became quiet, and even the sound of panting slowly calmed down.
At the top of this snow-capped mountain nearly 2,000 meters above sea level.
Bai Shuiqiu was sandwiched between Keiko and the old monster, and the three of them snuggled together tightly, looking at the silver-clad world around them.
It’s a very different feeling than waiting for the sunrise in the sky tree.
As time passed, the light in the sky was flowing, and the whole world seemed to be quiet. Only the three of them were left in the sky and the earth. You can also see a long blue line, which is supposed to be the sea between Hokkaido and Honshu. A flock of seagulls took off from the beach, skimmed across the surface, and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
No one spoke.
The long silence seems to be at the end of the world.
“Perhaps, this is what ordinary people call “like a lifetime”…”
Although the Battle of Lantern Mountain has just passed a month. But at this moment, Bai Shuiqiu felt as if it had happened in a previous life.
She had indeed seen a scene like this where everything was quiet and easy-going, and the years were quiet.
