Chapter 192: Ema
"Mr. Lu......"
Lu Xiu heard the sound of rushing water, and Xu Chunqiu called him softly: "I'm a little dizzy......"
She tugged at the edge of the towel tightly and came out of the water.
Lu Xiu looked at it, and looked at himself as an ape, and his blood was so wide that he almost spontaneously combusted.
He leaned against the rockery beside him, his eyelids getting heavier and heavier, and gradually stopped moving.
"Mr. Lu?" Xu Chunqiu walked over quickly, whispered to him, patted his face, and still didn't react.
He was dizzy.
(Sickness: dizziness, weakness of limbs, and nausea caused by insufficient blood supply to the brain caused by cold and heat)
Xu Chunqiu hurriedly put on his yukata, then laboriously tossed him up, and carefully placed him on the bed spread on the tatami mat.
"Mr. Lu, Mr. Lu?" he heard Xu Chunqiu's voice softly, coming from his ears, "Are you okay?"
She pressed the back of her hand on his cheek, Lu Xiu opened his eyes suddenly, and his gaze moved up to her gurgling eyes and rosy lips again, which made it even hotter at this glance.
Xu Chunqiu put a cold towel on his forehead and said worriedly: "Are you thirsty, do you want me to pour you a glass of water?"
Lu Xiu's throat slid and turned his back to her.
"I'm fine, just get some sleep. ”
He felt like he was going crazy.
"It's hard to come out to play, but I'm disappointed, sorry......"
Before he finished speaking, he had already fallen into a fainting first.
......
By the time Lu Xiu woke up again, it was already the morning of the next day.
The sun was big outside, and the sky was clear.
"Are you awake?"
He struggled to sit up from his bed, having a post-hangover headache: "What time is it?"
"It's past nine o'clock, it's not even ten o'clock. ”
Lu Xiu breathed a sigh of relief: "It's okay, it's still too late." ”
This time they didn't go far, just walked hand in hand along the trail, and they crossed the red and white suspension bridge, from which they could look down at the snow-covered valley.
Lanterns with orchid patterns hang high on the branches, dappled shadows swaying gently, and the shrines of Jozankei are just as famous as their hot springs.
On the gravel path in front of the torii gate are makeshift stalls, and it looks like there's something going on at night from the vendors.
"Look," Xu Chunqiu pointed to the front.
The two girls in school uniforms showed their thighs directly in the ice and snow, and their knees were frozen red, but they seemed to be not afraid of the cold, and they gathered in front of the stall with great interest to choose fans and masks.
She said suspiciously, "Aren't Japanese girls afraid of the cold?"
Lu Xiu thought of Xu Chunqiu's red and swollen ankles when he was on the tarmac, and replied quickly: "You can't." ”
"What?" his reply jumped too fast, and Xu Chunqiu didn't keep up with it.
"You are not allowed to show your knees in winter. ”
Xu Chunqiu bent his eyes and nodded.
The girls in the stall walked away, and Xu Chunqiu approached curiously.
A variety of brightly colored masks are placed on the wooden shelves, and most of the masks are depicted with youkai such as tengu and kitsune, which often appear in Japanese folk ghost stories.
As soon as Xu Chunqiu reached out and picked up a fox demon mask, Lu Xiu immediately followed and paid.
"Look," she said, covering her face, a red and white fox mask with jingling golden bells, a little too large and always slipping down.
"Don't wear it, don't wear it, let's move on. Xu Chunqiu's voice sounded a little muffled through the mask.
Lu Xiu leaned over slightly and reached out to the back of her head to fix it for her.
He leaned in and kissed her face through the mask.
The strap of the big fox mask was loose, but it was still not worn, and the strap on the back of the head was tied into a knot, and it slid down to the neck along with the heavy mask, revealing Xu Chunqiu's face.
Lu Xiu said helplessly: "Your face is too small. ”
Xu Chunqiu shook his head and took the mask in his hand again: "Let's go." ”
The red torii gate towers in front of the shrine, the cherry blossom trees in the courtyard are covered with painted horses adorned with colored ropes, and the clear water in the water house flows from the bamboo pipes.
Ema is a form of Japanese wish-making, with a wooden sign painted on it and a wish written on the back.
"This is a sign that can make a wish, right?" she flipped up an ema, then pulled Lu Xiu's wrist and shook it, "I want to buy a wish too." ”
Lu Xiu teased: "What is it, marriage?"
Xu Chunqiu flattened his mouth: "I won't tell you." ”
She trotted to the window of the horse seller, her camel-colored snow boots rustled on the gravel road, she held one and said, "How about you, you can buy one too?"
"Let's make a wish together. ”
Lu Xiu shook his head: "I don't believe this. ”
He touched Xu Chunqiu's hair: "My wish has come true, she is here." ”
Xu Chunqiu picked up the pen and wrote seriously on the drawing horse, raised his eyes and glanced at Lu Xiu: "You are not allowed to peek." ”
"Didn't you say you didn't believe this?"
"Okay, good, I don't watch. Lu Xiu took a step back and looked at her with a smile.
He watched Xu Chunqiu stand on tiptoe, hang the horse on a very tall branch, and silently note its location in his heart.
"Alright," she trotted a few steps and pulled his little thumb, "let's go, where is the next stop?"
Lu Xiu teased her with interest: "What did you write?"
Xu Chunqiu turned his back and continued to walk forward, pulling the long voice word by word and saying, "I won't tell you-"
She walked briskly down the steps in front of the shrine, and Lu Xiu asked her from afar, "Do you eat apple candy?"
Xu Chunqiu stopped.
"Then you wait for me here, and I'll buy it for you. ”
Lu Xiu turned back the original way, strode back to the shrine, and according to the location in his memory, he found the painted horse that Xu Chunqiu hung.
A small wooden plaque with a cherry blossom pattern with a small bell and a multicolored rope hanging underneath.
He flipped it over and saw a line of small traditional characters behind him.
She writes with markers as beautifully as she writes with a brush.
"I hope that the next generation will be able to meet him again - Xu Chunqiu. ”
Is that what she wants?
His heart moved slightly.
......
Lu Xiu's trip was for a long time, and he didn't bring apple candy with him when he came back.
He stuffed Xu Chunqiu with something hot, wrapped in paper.
"What is this?"
Lu Xiu breathlessly said, "I forgot that the apple candy is gone in winter, so I bought you taiyaki." ”
Xu Chunqiu lowered his head and nibbled on the piece of taiyaki, and the stuffing made of red beans was carefully sipped between his lips.
She is always easy to satisfy.
"It's sweet. She said softly.
