Chapter 26: Chihiro

Walking through the long, eerie corridor of the station, the girl Chihiro is half-dragged by her parents to this place that resembles a forest park. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

"Wow! When did there be such a large grassland here, I remember that the countryside should be a farmland, right? Chihiro's father sighed.

"Maybe this place has changed before we know it, you see, we've all run so far in the woods, maybe we're running somewhere." Chihiro's mother talks eloquently.

The two of them dragged Chihiro step by step towards the town in front of them, and from the moment they stepped out of the station, they noticed the town, a town that appeared on the grassland. Some unknown force drew them towards the quiet town.

"Dad, Mom, shall we go back? Don't go there. ”

"Chihiro is obedient, let's just ask for directions, see how to get around here, and we'll be back soon."

"Yes, Chihiro, be obedient, and it'll be over soon." Her mother comforted Chihiro and still dragged her towards the town.

"No, Mom, I'm going back to the car." Chihiro struggled hard, and the closer she got to the town, the stronger the premonition became.

Seeing Chihiro slapping her wrist hard, Chihiro's mother was a little irritated and used the other one to control Chihiro and force her to be quiet.

"Chihiro, obedient!! If you make any more trouble, we'll leave you here and don't want you!! The father yelled at Chihiro sternly.

Being yelled at by her father, Chihiro had to be quiet, tears in her eyes, and she cried out with a wow.

"Her father, what are you doing, the children are scared to cry by you!" The mother complained about her father, and then squatted down and comforted Chihiro while wiping away tears from her eyes.

"Chihiro, Mom and Dad won't want you. Don't cry, don't cry. ”

was yelled at by his mother, and his father was speechless and couldn't say anything.

The father glanced at the town in the distance with some irritation, scratched his hair, and asked, "What, dear, are we still going?" ”

"Where are you going!? You've been fooled by ghosts! Actually scare Chihiro for such a place!! ”

The father shrank his head and whispered, "I know it's wrong." ”

Chihiro, whose crying gradually stopped, looked at her father's troubled appearance, looked at her mother's expression when she looked at that town from time to time, and that bad premonition gradually disappeared, and now even Chihiro wants to visit that town.

Breaking out of her mother's arms, Chihiro jumped into the dry riverbed and stepped on the smooth stones to make her way to the town.

Father and mother glanced at each other, both shook their heads helplessly, and hurriedly kept up with Chihiro's pace.

Stepping over the dry riverbed and climbing the long staircase, the family of three enters this peaceful town.

The town has a Japanese-style style in the thirties and forties of the last century, with most of the food houses hanging curtains, and only a few grocery stores selling miscellaneous goods. The gourmet houses and grocery stores are the backbone of the town, which encloses the town into four wide main thoroughfares and many alleyways that can only be accessed by twists and turns.

At the end of the main road in the middle, a mahogany arch bridge is connected, leading to a huge building at the other end of the arch bridge. It was a strange building with many tall chimneys, a bit like a public bathhouse, and a bit like a castle tower, with a strange flag hanging at the top of it with a huge soup character on it.

When the family of three walked in front of the mahogany arch bridge, they felt a sense of fear that they could not step on the bridge, as if there was something terrible on the other side. Following their physical senses, they turned around in front of the mahogany arch bridge and walked back into the town, taking a closer look at the food houses that they hadn't looked at closely.

I don't know if there are any strange rules or anything about this town, the town is unusually quiet, so quiet that there is no smell of any living people, even if the oven and stove are turned on in the food house, there is still no one in the food house. However, it is such a food house, and its counter is full of prepared food, waiting for customers to eat.

Most of the food houses here are in a style where the seats are only separated from the stove by a display case, and guests can take down the food from the counter as long as they sit in their seats, and the chefs can put it on the counter as soon as it is ready, or deliver it directly to the customer.

"Dad, Mom, it's so strange here, it's so quiet. Why don't we go back? Now, okay, let's go back, okay? ”

Mother first rubbed Chihiro's head, then moved her nose to smell the aroma of the food.

"These foods smell so good!"

"I just don't know how it tastes." As he spoke, my father stepped into a gourmet house, sat down in the guest's seat, and took a roast chicken and nibbled on it.

They had just confirmed that the food halls were empty, there were no chefs or shops, and the food was on the counter without any burglar protection. So my father was already planning to eat first and give money when he was done.

"I said child, her father, how can you eat it directly? I didn't even get the permission of the store! The mother's throat moved, and she complained to the father.

"This roast chicken tastes so good! the kid, come and eat too! And Chihiro, you come over too, you eat too! ”

Swallowing her saliva, her mother asked in disbelief, "Is it really delicious?" ”

I can't blame my mother for not believing her husband, after all, he has brought back many times what he thought was delicious, but in fact it was so bad that it was terrible to death.

"Really, really, you have to believe me, damn."

"I'll trust you for once." After two hesitations, the mother still did not resist the temptation of the food, and walked to the guest's place and sat down to eat.

As soon as she took a bite, her mother exclaimed, this was a delicacy she had never tasted.

"This one is really delicious!" Turning around, her mother beckoned to Chihiro, "Chihiro, come here, come over and eat!" This one is delicious! Mother didn't lie to you! ”

Chihiro shook her head, not knowing why, she felt that these things could not be eaten, and once they were eaten, they would have bad consequences.

Seeing that Chihiro was unwilling, her mother didn't care about her anymore, but just told her not to run away, and then buried her head in eating.

The parents buried themselves in eating and didn't care about Chihiro, and Chihiro didn't want to eat these things, so she had to run away alone and come to the mahogany arch bridge again.

This time, Chihiro overcomes her fear and steps onto the arched bridge.

When you actually step on the mahogany arch bridge, the fear dissipates with the wind, as if it didn't exist.

Chihiro leaned on the guardrail and looked down, and saw a railroad track built into a shallow shoal, where there was an upward staircase that led to the huge soup house. And not far from the stairs, there is a tram stop platform.

Woo!

A dark shadow sprang out from Chihiro, a high-speed tram that drove along the railroad tracks built into the shallows, rolling up waves and splashes towards the deeper depths of the shoals.

Startled by the train, Chihiro sat down on the mahogany arch bridge and patted her little breasts, she was scared half to death just now.

Underneath the mahogany arch bridge, a three-car tram slowly stopped on the small platform, and five people stepped down from the train.

"Brother Ouyang, have we arrived at the Silver Hot Spring of Silver Mountain?"

"No, this is just the first stop, Granny Tang's oil soup house."
