The temperature in winter is cooler than in summer, but for some reason, the sun in winter seems to be brighter than in summer, probably because the temperature around you is too low, so it gives you the illusion that it is too cold.

The area around Hakone is full of mountains and forests, and the hot springs are a wonderful place to enjoy the wonderful temperature in the middle of the mountains, and you can enjoy the beautiful scenery of the forest while soaking in the hot springs, which is rare anywhere else except in Japan, which has a hot spring culture.

Qianjia and Mori Xia chose a mountain road, which is only for pedestrians to go up.

Although the road is paved with stone slabs, it is covered with moss marks, and it seems that no one has walked on it for a long time.

The air is somewhat dry.

"We've been able to see Lake Ashi just now, right?" Mori Xia looked at Chika.

After getting out of the car, Qianjia stared at the road, and she seemed to be a little distracted.

"That's not counting, what we're going to see now is the full view of Lake Ashi - let's go up the mountain!"

She turned around and chuckled at Senxia.

The car that sent them over had already driven away, and at this time only Sen Xia and Qian Jia were standing in this place.

Beneath his feet was yellow dirt, and the branches of the nearby deciduous trees had withered, making the place look like a desert with no people.

There was not a single person, not even a trace of a person, except for the trail in front of him.

"Wait a minute. ”

Chika turned around and went to the back of Mori Xia, pulled open his backpack, and then took out two rice balls from it, one of which she threw to Sen Xia, and the other she held in her own hands. Continue on the trail.

"Why don't you eat first and then go up the mountain?" Mori Xia hurriedly followed Qianjia's footsteps.

"It's faster. She paused, then half-tilted her head, "Besides, I've wanted to try it for a long time, with a loaf of bread in my mouth, and then meet the man at the crossroads of fate." ”

After saying this. Qianjia turned her head and firmly stepped forward.

"Strange metaphor. Senxia shook her head, "I'm just saying it's not good for your health." ”

He followed the other and then lightly bit the rice ball in his hand.

Well, it tastes good.

The trail is very long, and there is no end in sight, but you can only vaguely see that the mountain road extends to the depths of the mountain forest, all the way forward and all the way up.

The two did not speak. Just like that, facing the rising sun, I kept going forward.

The mountains are getting higher and higher, and through the trees, Senxia can vaguely see the scene outside, and the lake in the distance is rippling, but unfortunately, in this mountain road, Senxia and they can't get a glimpse of it.

Gradually. Mori Xia also felt as if she was a little tired.

He looked up at Qianjia, who had been walking in front, her breath short. It seemed to be more tired than Senxia, and her original coat had been taken off and held in her hands, but even so, she still refused to stop.

Sen Xia walked behind Qianjia, and his eyes were just looking at Qianjia's calves and leather shoes.

"Now, senior sister. Is it okay for you to come out and climb the mountain in high heels like this?"

"Well, I'm used to it. She replied softly.

"--But wouldn't your feet hurt in that case?" asked Senxia, a little worried.

"A little. But it's not nasty, it's my own choice. She turned her head against the sun, her fingers sliding from the corners of her eyes to her chin, a little sweat wiped from her face.

She paused like this, then turned around and continued walking towards the front with a firm step.

Senxia took out his mobile phone and looked at the time, they had been walking for more than two hours, from arriving here at eight o'clock to setting off for the mountain, it was already more than eleven o'clock.

Just when Senxia wanted to beckon Sister Qianjia to take a break, a burst of warm sunlight had already penetrated the woods and sprinkled on them.

Before they knew it, they had walked out of this path, which was a peak of the mountain, but it was not the highest one.

"Phew—it's finally here. ”

Qianjia let out an exclamation, and then walked quickly to the edge of the cliff.

Today's weather is exceptionally good, and you can see the past from the cliff side, and you can see the scene in the distance.

Lake Ashi in winter, sparkling.

The surface of the lake is beautiful, and when you look at it from a distance, it looks like a painting.

Although the mountain peak is not high, from this place, you can already see the panoramic view of Lake Ashi.

"It's a pity that some places are covered by mountains, and although the distance is enough, you can't see the whole lake of Ashi. Senxia shook his head with some pity.

"No, that's enough, it's enough to see it all here. ”

Qianjia smiled.

Although it is deep in the mountains, this place is also surrounded by a guardrail, and there is a warning sign next to it, which makes it more popular than that mountain road.

"Have a drink, it's almost time for lunch. ”

Mori Xia put on a tablecloth, then sat on it, then took off his backpack and took out the lunch box prepared by Chika from it.

Lunch is a simple color scheme with umeboshi rice, octopus sausage, and two poached eggs.

"Na-Senxia. Qianjia didn't sit here right away, but stood in front of the fence and looked into the distance.

Then, she looked back.

A gust of wind blew, the tips of her hair moved with the wind, and the hem of her skirt fluttered gently.

As if the water surface was blown by the wind, a ripple rippled from Qianjia to the outside, penetrating Mori Xia's whole body.

O maiden in the wind, she is so dreamy.

"It's beautiful. Senxia muttered.

"Now, Senxia. She spoke again, "If it were the year 2000, would there really be a third shock?"

"Hmm...... Probably not. Looking at the lake in the distance, Sen Xia fell into silence for a while.

Although I know that I won't, in my heart, I still look forward to change, looking forward to one day, I will usher in a new day, usher in a different day.

Mori Xia knows his heart, and he also understands that Qianjia has the same thoughts as himself.

"I want to go to new places, I want to see something different. Qianjia said the words that Senxia wanted to shout out in her heart.

"Well, I'll go with you. Then Senxia said this to Qianjia without hesitation.

The latter was stunned for a moment, and then smiled: "Hmm." ”

After lunch, the temperature seemed to be higher, and even Mori Xia took off her coat.

"Qianjia, it's time for us to go back, right?" he realized that it wasn't too early.

However, Qianjia did not respond to Sen Xia immediately, on the contrary, at this time, her eyes looked at the mountain on the other side: "Na, Sen Xiajun, I want to go and see the end of the road." ”

"What is that place over there?" asked Senxia, a little worried.

Qianjia shook her head: "I don't know, but it should be possible to go down the mountain, let's go from this road!"

Sen Xia didn't answer the other party immediately, he opened the map prepared in his backpack, and after confirming the route, he nodded: "But if there is no road or if we encounter special circumstances, we will return immediately." ”

"Don't worry, there's no problem!" Qianjia also stood up immediately, and she continued to walk forward with a hundred times more energy.

On the other side of the mountain, there is also a road down the mountain, but this side seems to go deeper into the mountains, and Senxia is not worried, because the other side of the mountain is the road, although the road on this side is more rugged, but it is always possible to go down.

In case of danger, they can contact for help through their mobile phones, but this should be unlikely, and unlike the Celestial Empire, there is no such thing as a real "deep mountain forest", and it is difficult to get into an accident.

I don't know if it's because I've had lunch, but Mori Xia feels like he's feeling a little more energetic.

Senxia didn't look at the time, and Qianjia didn't look at the time, and the two just walked on the mountain path, other than that, there were only woods and dead grass outside.

Gradually, the original stone road has disappeared, and the one in front of Senxia and the front has become a dirt road.

"This is another world. Qianjia muttered.

"If I could, I would like to see a real different world, where I can see different people and things. Mori Xia, who was following her, handed her a bottle of water.

Qianjia took the water from Mori Xia's hand and took a sip of it.

"It's a little cold. Unconsciously, Mori Xia noticed that the sunlight around him seemed to have disappeared, and he thought it was the cover of the mountains at first, but when Mori Xia looked up, he found that the sky was already full of dark clouds.

"Ah, it's going to rain. Qianjia also looked at the sky.

"Oh no! we haven't even reached half the distance now!" Mori Xia took out the map and estimated it, and he found that the current distance seemed to be a little worse.

"Let's put on the clothes first!" Mori Xia returned the coat he had taken off to Qianjia, and after putting on the coat, he took the other party's hand, "Let's go, we should go back." ”

"It's a pity, I thought there should be a better vantage point ahead. Chika sighed, but did not object to Senxia, but followed him back the way he came.

"Boom—" There was a thunderclap in the sky.

There is something in the wind.

Sen Xia became more and more anxious, and he pulled Qianjia to walk briskly through the mountains and forests.

The sky was getting darker.

Gradually, the distant scene has become blurred, but Mori Xia and Chika still haven't returned to the top of the mountain before.

"Tick, tick. ”

Raindrops fell on the treetops.

"Tick, tick. ”

Raindrops fell on Mori Natsu and Chika.

The first rain of 1998 that Mori Xia experienced fell on the sixth day of the new year.
