This is a rare heavy snow in Guanzhong in recent years, and it coincides with the New Year, and Kitahara Shuji can see a lot of passers-by admiring and playing in the snow when he walks on the street - which is good, at least it makes a huge snowball rolling in front of the snow look less conspicuous.

Fuyumi was wearing a kimono with a "Hazuki Sakura" pattern, holding an oil-paper umbrella, frowning and looking at the second foolish sister, waiting for her to break the corset, so she rushed up and kicked her to death, and Kitahara Shuji touched her and asked softly, "Is it cold?"

He was a little worried when he saw that Haruna, Natsuori, and Natsusa were all wrapped around snow-white fur collars, but Fuyumi and Yuki were gone, and he felt that the kimono seemed to be very thin.

Dongmei removed the umbrella and glanced at him, feeling a little better: "It's not cold, in fact, this kind of clothes are hot to wear in summer, and it's very uncomfortable to wear layer by layer, so it's just right to wear in winter." ”

It's okay not to be cold, Kitahara Shuji was relieved, and looked at the umbrella that Fuyumi was holding again, and felt that it matched her kimono - the umbrella was vermilion as a whole, but there was a big golden crescent moon pattern along the edge of the umbrella, which looked elegant.

Fuyumi noticed that Kitahara Shuji was looking at her umbrella, and then looked at a little snowflake on his shoulder, tiptoed to help him pat, and then turned the umbrella and asked, "This moon umbrella was left by my mother, is it beautiful?"

Kitahara Shuji nodded honestly: "It's good-looking." ”

Although Dongmei is a little radish head, her body proportion is very good, her waist is straight when she wears a kimono, and she is super cute when she walks in small steps, and with this exquisite moon umbrella, it can be said that it is the icing on the cake, and it is even more delicate and cute - you can't judge people by their appearance when looking for a girlfriend, but it can be said that they are lucky to get such a cute little radish head.

Fuyumi was very proud and a little shy, because Kitahara Shuji looked at her face instead of the umbrella and said this, so she couldn't help tilting her head and humming quietly: "I also think it's good-looking...... Well, do you want to play umbrellas together?"

She can give the umbrella to Kitahara Shuji to hold, after all, if she gives Kitahara Shuji an umbrella, the height is not enough, and the posture is too ugly - the two of them play an umbrella in the snow together, and they hold his arm, it should feel very good.

Kitahara Shuji didn't want to be loved, so he smiled: "No, it's such a small snow, it's okay, you can fight it yourself." "-I am really a five-good boyfriend, strong and considerate!

Fuyumi pursed her lips and glanced at him slanted - this guy is not clever when he should be clever!

She doesn't care about Kitahara Shuji, this guy is really smart, but sometimes he doesn't understand the amorous style at all, and he can't write the word romantic at all. She turned to Noki Suzuki and shouted, "Hey, stinky fart, how far is it?"

Noki Suzuki wore a plain white and pink kimono with a shawl and fur collar, a stove in his handbag, a white bamboo umbrella in one hand, and a large bottle of sake in the other, and replied lazily, "Come on, come on, walk for five minutes." ”

"You said that five minutes ago!" Dongmei said with some dissatisfaction: "Which family can't do it, you have to run to such a remote place!"

Fuyumi originally wanted to go to the shrine closest to home, but when she was going out, Suzuki Noki said that she knew that there was a particularly good shrine, and volunteered to lead everyone to have fun, but no one expected that the shrine was really out of the way, and she had to go so far after taking the train.

"That shrine is more spiritual! What's the point of walking a few more steps, if you weren't so familiar with everyone, I wouldn't tell him if I was so familiar with him!" Suzuki Noki didn't care, and replied casually and shouted to Kitahara Shuji: "Master Kitahara, I can't take it, can you help me hold it?"

She went to the shrine and brought a large bottle of sake, the best of the first batch of sake made from the sake brew, and she embezzled it, and she walked here with her arms, and her hands were sore.

Kitahara Shuji knew that her physical strength was not good, so he waited for her to take two steps and took the wine directly, and said strangely: "What are you doing with the wine when you go to the shrine?"

"Give it away. Noki Suzuki raised the umbrella on Kitahara Shuji's head, and said with a smile: "Thank you, Mr. Kitahara, I'll help you with the umbrella." ”

"Cut!" Fuyumi secretly pursed her lips, feeling a little unhappy, rushed to the front, and shouted to the snow, "What do you want to do with such a big snowball? Hurry up and throw it on the side of the road!"

Afraid of Dongmei's destruction, Xueli pushed the snowball and started running, and Lehehe shouted, "It's fun, sister! ”

Fuyumi looked at the snowball that was almost chest-high in the snow, that is, a snowball that was basically as tall as her, and said angrily: "What kind of snowball fight, do you want to kill someone?

This thing smashed into her head and buried her alive on the spot.

Xue Li refused, pushing the snowball and running faster, and Fuyumi couldn't take a step in a kimono, and she didn't want to lose her demeanor and chase her sister on the street, so she could only watch her run farther and farther, and the snowball in her hand rolled bigger and bigger.

Kitahara Shuji shook his head when he looked at it, looked back again, and found that Yoko also had a small snowball in his hand, which felt very funny, and Natsuori Natsuna shook the trees on the side of the road from time to time, shaking off the snow in the tent, and Haruna was quieter with Akitaro, but he also stepped on the snow nest from time to time - these children who have never seen heavy snow are so pitiful, and the snow buried in their ankles is so rare?

Everyone played in the snow all the way, and walked a long way to the shrine that Suzuki Noki said, and a huge snowball as tall as her was made out of the snow, and it was placed straight in front of the torii gate of the shrine.

Fuyumi looked up at the torii gate and asked Suzuki Noki, "Whose shrine is this?"

"Izumi is passionate about the ten gods. ”

Fuyumi hadn't heard of this god, but it wasn't surprising that there were so many gods in Japan that experts couldn't figure out how many there were, let alone ordinary people.

She asked, "What does this god do?"

Suzuki Noki smiled and said: "Bless the family with many sons and grandchildren, this predecessor is actually the Buddhist Goddess of Mercy." ”

Everyone was stunned together, and then they all saluted Suzuki Noki - You were kicked in the head by a donkey, right? Our oldest is seventeen years old, and the youngest is only five years old.

Noki Suzuki smiled and waved his hand: "Don't look at me like that, New Year's Day, everything you worship is to ask for a smooth year, right?"

Kitahara Shuji took a look and found that there were indeed many people entering and leaving the shrine, and there were many believers who wanted to come, and Fuyumi glared at Suzuki Noki with some annoyance, waved his hand and went in with his younger siblings - they all came, and they couldn't go back to the house when they arrived at the door, so they could only make do.

When you enter the shrine, you will find that the shrine is quite magnificent, and there are many stalls in the small square selling ema, amulets, and souvenirs, as well as shrine maidens distributing steaming mulled sake for free for those who come to visit to ward off the cold.

Dongmei looked at it, and her anger disappeared a little, feeling that at least it was a regular shrine, so it was acceptable to visit it - at most, she didn't ask for a child, she asked for something else!

They walked through the square, cleaned their hands at the sailor's house, and then went to the worship hall along the approach, and the stone approach was swept clean, not slippery at all, and the shape of the stone was quite simple, and it was slightly mutilated, and there were traces of age, and it felt that this shrine was a little old.

The snow scenery along the road is also very beautiful, and you can see many "holy relics" surrounded by enchantments in the distance, adding some solemn and sacred atmosphere here.

They arrived at the worship hall and rattled the bell in turn to give incense money, and after Fuyumi made her wish, she looked at the back of the worship hall and felt that there were still buildings, and couldn't help but ask Suzuki Noshiki, "This is the ...... Is it the head shrine of the Ten Gods?"

Usually a small shrine does not have a god's residence, which is the main hall, and it feels different here.

Suzuki Noki smiled: "yes, so it's worth it, right? There's also Kaguraden over there, and there are performances all day today, so you can go and see what you don't usually see." ”

Yukiri asked curiously, "Aren't you going?"

Noki Suzuki pointed to the wine and said with a smile, "My grandmother's friend is here, I'm going to say hello to him." ”

Fuyumi thought about it, it would be good to have a fun New Year's Day, and it was a good thing for Suzuki Noki to say hello to the elders, so she said, "Then we'll wait for you and call us later." ”

"Okay, dwarf winter melon!" Noki Suzuki grinned, pulling Kitahara Shuji and leaving, "We'll be back soon, and we'll go together to ask for a New Year's sign in a moment." ”

Kitahara Shuji was pulled by her and walked two steps, and said inexplicably: "These are a few steps, can't you take the wine yourself?"

"No, I didn't bring the security team with me today, you have to protect me. Noki Suzuki tugged at his sleeve and didn't let go, bypassed the worship hall, found a path and continued to walk inside, feeling familiar with this place.

Kitahara Shuji is even more strange, Noki Suzuki is particularly afraid of death, even with him, there is always a group of people on standby from afar, what's wrong with today?

He joked: "I didn't expect you to be a conscientious boss, is this an annual leave for employees?"

Suzuki Noki looked at him and smiled, "How is that possible, it's just that I can't trust them." ”

Kitahara Shuji was stunned for a moment, and immediately smelled an unusual breath, slightly vigilant, looked around, and couldn't help asking, "This is ......?"

Noki Suzuki took him further and further away, and said with a smile: "This is the shrine of the Izumi Suzuki family, and it is also the biggest secret of the Izumi Suzuki family." ”

Kitahara Shu took a second step, a little afraid to leave, and turned to look at Suzuki Noshi: "What do you mean?"

The fact that the Suzuki goblin can mention the phrase "the biggest secret of the Izumi Suzuki family" shows that this matter is not trivial, how can he, an outsider, know?

Suzuki was silent for a while, the hand holding his sleeve became tighter and tighter, his knuckles were a little white, and he said softly: "Kitahara, I know you have a big secret, but I never asked you, because I know that if you do, you won't tell me - you never believed me, did you?"

Kitahara Shuji didn't speak, this Suzuki Noki has been getting better recently, it can be said that he was a liar before, and he couldn't make people believe her at all, and he couldn't tell others his biggest secret at all.

Noki Suzuki was not disappointed when he didn't answer, but he still held him tightly and continued: "It's okay, everyone has secrets, and scheming fools like dwarf winter melons will have them, so it's okay not to say it, but I want to tell you my biggest secret......"

"Why?"

"I don't have anyone to trust anymore. Noki Suzuki's usual smile disappeared, and he said softly: "I have a lot of subordinates, but I don't know who was bought by my father, some know, but there must be something I don't know, I don't know who will betray me when, I need someone who can be trusted, someone who will not be bought by money, and will not be swayed by threats...... I need someone I can rely on in my most difficult times. ”

After Suzuki Noki finished speaking, the power in his hand was even greater, and it was almost like tearing off Kitahara Shuji's sleeve, "Help me...... In the name of a friend, I ask you to help me. ”

Snowflakes fell gently and landed on Suzuki Noki's head. Her hair was slightly yellow, and her shine was not very good, and she was trembling slightly in order to wear a white silk flower with her kimono - she looked pitiful, and there was a slight confusion and fear of the future in her tone.

Kitahara Shuji was silent for a while, sighed and asked, "Are you going to do something to your father?"
