"Could it be that in Caizisan's heart, he was faintly expecting something just now?" Ye Zhao asked rhetorically.

While asking, he made a thoughtful expression and nodded, "I really didn't expect that Ayako-san turned out to be such a person." ”

"What kind of person is 'such a person'?" Fuji Ayako was a little curious.

Ye Zhao grabbed the sleeve of her kimono and leaned closer to her ear, "...... Obviously looks so dignified, but his mind is thinking about something indecent. ”

“…… It's not all thanks to you. Placed in a position, Fuji Ayako pulled the sleeve of the kimono back from his hand with some force and complained.

"That's right, that's right," Ye Zhao looked at her with a smile, "It's all my fault." …… Anyway, let's go. ”

It was not yet eight o'clock in the morning when I left home, and it was time for a new day to begin.

Fuji Ayako drove the car and took him out of the city, Ye Zhao looked at the scenery outside the car window, and asked with some curiosity: "Where are you going now?"

Ayako Fuji reported a place name that sounded unfamiliar. Then he explained, "It's a small village between Hachiro Town and Oga City, and behind the village is a mountain. ”

"Isn't Oga the place where I went to see the lighthouse yesterday?"

"Yes. But yesterday I went to the northernmost part of Oga City, so today I won't have to go that far. …… Viewed from the map, the Oga Peninsula looks like an axe reaching out to the Sea of Japan, and the Iridozaki Lighthouse is at the apex of the axe. "Ayako Fuji knows the geography of the area inside out.

"Speaking of which, if there is a mountain, there must be a hot spring hidden in the mountain, right?" Ye Zhao asked. Akita is the town of hot springs, and in addition to the famous hot springs, there are also many so-called secret hot springs that only the connoisseur knows.

"Ye Jun wants to soak in the hot springs?"

"I would like to take a mixed bath...... I mean seriously. It's also good to relax and chat together. It would be better if you could enjoy the snow while soaking. ”

As he said this, he thought to himself that when it snowed again, he would have to soak in the hot springs like this. The body is soaked in the hot soup, but the snowflakes are fluttering in front of you, and it is wonderful just thinking about it.

The small village that Ayako Fuji brought him to is a complete countryside, and all the houses you see along the way are old-fashioned houses, and the eaves of the old-fashioned houses are wide because of the snow in the Akita area, which is different from the construction method of the Kanto region, and it can be regarded as belonging to Akita, or the characteristics of the Northeast.

There were not many people in the village, and there were almost no pedestrians along the way, and occasionally one or two local residents looked very old, and the young people did not meet at all.

Fuji Ayako parked the car, and the two of them walked through the village, along the mountain trail, towards the mountain.

"It's really hard to dress like this," Ye Zhao took her hand, "I'm sorry for making such an excessive request." ”

The skirt of the kimono is very narrow, making it difficult to take a step, and wearing it like this to climb the mountain is really not a good experience for Fuji Ayako.

The snow in the mountain has not yet melted, and when I first started climbing, I saw the dead grass covered by a thin layer of frost and snow, and then I went up, and the snow gradually covered the dead grass until I could only see a patch of white.

Although the mountain is not particularly high, it is not very short, and although the terrain is not so steep and steep, it is not so gentle that it seems to be an endless uphill climb, so when you climb up, the degree of hard work is not lost to any mountain.

"It's fine. Ayako Fuji held his hand.

One of them was wearing a kimono, but the other was still dressed in the same way as when they were in Tokyo, and this combination really looked like a tavern regulars hiding in the mountains with their tavern hostess.

The two of them climbed the mountain, and the higher they went, the colder the air became, different from the cold wind felt in the city, and the cold air in the mountains really seemed to be able to penetrate into people's bones.

Walking and stopping all the way, when they were two-thirds of the way, the two of them found a place with gentle terrain, stopped, and looked around, "It's pretty good here." ”

Ye Zhao threw himself into the snow, rolled over, and breathed a long sigh of relief, "I've been thinking about doing this for a long time. ”

"Rolling in the snow?" said Ayako Fuji bent down beside him, clutching the coat of her kimono in both hands.

"That's right," Ye Zhao grabbed a handful of snow with his bare hands and rubbed it, "It's really a luxury to roll around like this." ”

"When I was in Akita, in the winter, I used to fall into the snow like this. "I was looking forward to it before the first snow fell, but I quickly got tired of it. Winters in Akita are too long and stuffy. ”

That's right. Although the snow is nice and you will be moved to see the spectacular snow scene, it can be a bit boring to face the same monotonous white color for months.

"However," Ye Zhao sighed a few times in succession, warming his fingers that had just grabbed the snow, "Caizi-san who fell and rolled in the snow...... It's interesting to think about it. ”

"Ye Jun was thinking, 'This person turned out to be a complete country girl', right?" Fuji Ayako half-jokingly.

What do you mean by that...... Are you insinuating that I'm a country boy?" Ye Zhao also asked jokingly. The cold air from the snow continued to seep into his body from his neck and scalp, and he couldn't bear it anymore, so he quickly got up and sat cross-legged in the snow.

"This is what Ye Jun said himself. Ayako Fuji laughed.

Ye Zhao stretched out his hand and grabbed her and let her sit on his lap, "It's so quiet." ”

"It's not a big deal, and basically no one comes up except for the locals. Fuji Ayako grabbed his hand and tried to warm him up, but her own hands were cold.

"If you come up alone, it's a little scary. Even if something happens, no one will know. ”

"There are bears in the mountains. There have been cases of bears attacking villagers in the past. ”

"Really?" Ye Zhao was a little panicked, if he met a bear here, it would really be a throat break and he wouldn't come.

"Of course it's true. Fuji Ayako smiled, "It was just twenty years ago. ”

"Even that would be terrifying......"

"Don't worry," Fuji Ayako comforted him, "We're on a hiking trail and there's a protective fence nearby, so it's safe." …… At most, it is possible to encounter a hare and be a little frightened. ”

After resting like this for a while, Fuji Ayako got up with his shoulders, Ye Zhao felt that his legs were a little numb, he clenched his fists and knocked them back and forth a few times, tried to stand up, and moved around in the snow, "Hmm, it's okay." ”

"Good work. Fuji Ayako took off the dark red and black plaid wool scarf tied around his neck, patted the snowflakes off his body with the one he was, and after cleaning it, she naturally tied it back for him, as if she had taken the scarf from her own neck and tied it again.

In between, there was also a little hiccup. When tying the scarf for him, Fuji Ayako didn't know what kind of mentality she had, grabbing the end of the scarf with both hands, crossing her hands, and making a gesture to strangle him.

Ye Zhao only thought she was joking, and also cooperated with the deliberate strange scream, "Please spare me." ”

Fuji Ayako smiled, then tied the scarf for him as if nothing had happened, "Let's climb up." After that, take the first step and walk to the top of the mountain.

Ye Zhao touched the scarf, and before he had time to think about it, he followed closely behind her, and the two walked towards the top of the mountain together.

The night before his departure, he had the idea of seeing the gorgeous figure of Ayako Fuji in a red kimono in the white world, and although he was actually wearing a lead-colored kimono, his anticipation was not diminished at all.

But now, I don't know if it's because of too deep expectations, Ye Zhao, who deliberately lagged one step behind her, looked at her figure walking in the snow in a lead-colored kimono, and only felt that it was too different from what she imagined.

Far from being hot, this red seems to have been diluted by the snow all over the mountains, becoming extremely thin and even pale, and together with the figure of Fuji Ayako walking in front, it seems as if it is about to dissolve into this snow white.

…… I knew that these were the next best things to see, so it was better to give up directly.

Leaving this thought behind, Ye Zhao quickened his pace and caught up with Fuji Ayako.

The more you go up, the quieter it becomes, and when you climb to the last section, both of you are so tired that you don't even want to speak, you just shake hands with each other, and Fuji Ayako's physical strength is consumed faster, and from time to time she leans on his shoulders and entrusts him with a part of the weight of her body.

All that rang in my ears was the sound of gasping for breath and the faint sound of snow crushing under my feet.

Finally climbed to the top of the mountain.

If there is one thing that attracts you more than the unobstructed scenery you can see after overcoming the difficulties and stepping on the whole mountain under your feet.

Although the pleasure of conquering the mountain can only last for a while, when he turns around and goes down the mountain, the warrior who is fearless just now has once again become the defeated commander of the mountain, and can only walk to the foot of the mountain in despair, so that the mountain that was trampled on the soles of his feet before will in turn trample himself to the soles of his feet.

But despite this, even this momentary pleasure is worth conquering again and again.

"It's beautiful. Ayako Fuji took his arm and pressed her cheek against his shoulder.

"Yes," Ye Zhao echoed, "Akita is such a good place. ”

"Like it here?"

"Of course I like it," Ye Zhao hesitated, thinking to himself, this liking shouldn't last too long.

Although I had to climb to the top of the mountain with such great effort and looked at the scenery that stretched to the foot of the mountain and the distance, I felt very moved, but after a while, I always had to go down the mountain.

When we got down the mountain, all that awaited us was the small, dilapidated village where there were not many young people left. 2k reading web
