Grandma Fujimoto, who was riding an electric three-wheeler, slowly drove her grandson and granddaughter to the hot spring scenic spot, avoiding the crowd all the way to the location where she usually set up her stall.

Pulling the tricycle to the stall, Grandma Fujimoto walked to the Kumamoto grocery store.

Xu Jie, who was on the back pocket of the three wheels, put his front paws on the car pocket and stretched his neck to look out.

The hot spring hotel here is still well-known in China, so although it is a hot and dry autumn, people who come to soak in the hot spring are still coming one after another.

Just in time for the summer vacation, the parents who came out with their children and the high school students who traveled together still made the business of the hot spring inn here very hot.

Because of the close proximity to the hot spring scenic spot, Grandma Fujimoto and the people in the nearby villages basically rely on tourists here to make money.

They would sell some of the things in their property directly to the hot spring inn, which would make a lot more money than selling them to other vendors.

After a while, Grandma Fujimoto, who entered the grocery store, came out with a kitchen knife and a roll of plastic wrap.

Xu Jie watched the old lady over sixty years old quickly cut a watermelon into eight petals, and then wrapped it in plastic wrap one by one.

Xu Jie rarely sees watermelons sold by slices, and the most he has seen is because they are too big, or because they want customers to see the quality, they divide the watermelons into two.

However, selling watermelons by the slice is obviously a common thing here, because Grandma Fujimoto pulled out a sign from under the car and skillfully placed it in front of her tricycle.

Xu Jie looked at the text on it, and simply translated it, it was written that a watermelon was 1,600 yen, and a piece was 200 yen.

After Xu Jie finished reading the brand, he looked back at the watermelons with an average of 7 or 8 catties, and silently converted them in his heart, and then choked on the price of a watermelon.

Although I have known for a long time that fruits are expensive in Japan, I only know how expensive they are when I really meet them, so it's no wonder that the Fujimoto family, whose income is okay, still has to be careful every time she goes to the supermarket.

Not long after the stall was set up, some tourists came to ask for the price, and soon the two large watermelons and four melon petals were sold.

has been a mascot on the stall for a period of time, with a cute face and the popularity of the star cat, which has greatly accelerated the sales of watermelons on the stall.

It didn't take long for only three of the eight watermelons they brought with them to be left, and all three of them were relatively small.

Looking at the sun, it was almost noon, Grandma Fujimoto patted the two watermelons, and then took out a sign that said that the watermelon price was reduced by 1300.

It seems that this is going to be a discount promotion, so there are still two left that should be sold soon, so Xu Jie climbed out of the car pocket and wanted to go shopping.

Mo had been following Xu Jie all the time, and the two cats walked along the quaint streets of the ancient township.

Xu Jie was very interested in the hot springs here, and I heard that because of its proximity to Kyoto, the hot springs here were developed very early, and in the Heian period, the princes and nobles often came to visit for vacation.

The two cats followed behind a tour group and listened to the tour guide introduce to a group of aunts and uncles: "Everyone, please look over there, there is a complex of buildings over there that was built in the Heian period. The hot springs there used to be reserved for the royal family, and many emperors and concubines used the hot springs in the palace. ”

The uncles and aunts who came to travel were obviously very interested in the word royal, and they all expressed their desire to go over to soak in it and enjoy the royal treatment.

The enthusiastic tour guide said with a sad face when she heard this: "I'm afraid I'm going to disappoint everyone, the palace over there has been identified as a cultural relic a long time ago, and it has been protected, and it can't be used externally." ”

The group of uncles and aunts felt very sorry when they heard this, especially one of them, who was almost hammering his chest and blunt feet.

Several of the old sisters who came with her to travel looked at her suspiciously, not understanding why she was like this.

Seeing this, the aunt said to her old sisters: "You don't know, I read the strategy before I came, saying that the hot soup in the royal palace here is a special spirit, and after soaking, the girl who asks for a son and a daughter." As you know, my daughter-in-law has been married for more than three years and has never been pregnant, so I thought about bringing a bottle of hot soup from here and putting it in the bathtub at my house for my son and daughter-in-law to soak. ”

The old sisters who came with her knew about their family and knew that she was going crazy with her grandchildren.

But there is no way, the palace is now a cultural relic, and ordinary people are not allowed to enter, so they can only come over and pat the aunt on the shoulder, which can be regarded as comfort.

The tour guide, who was busy and in a hurry, did not stop here for long, but led the team to continue to rush over like the next attraction.

The two cats that were originally following them did not continue to follow, to be precise, Mo Xian stopped.

Seeing this, Xu Jie trotted over and asked, "Mo, what's wrong with you?" Why don't you go? ”

But seeing that Mo kept twisting his head to look at the royal palace, after hearing Xu Jie's question, Mo flicked his tail and said, "Ajie, let's go to the royal palace over there to have a look?" ”

When Xu Jie heard this, he looked back at the ancient Japanese buildings hidden in the high-rise buildings of the surrounding hotels, and he was also very interested in the situation inside the wooden houses, so he agreed to Mo's suggestion.

Two cats crawled through the bottom of the gate on the left side of the palace and were greeted by a very beautiful landscape.

Mo was obviously not very interested in these trees, but he raised his head and sniffed in the air with his nose, and then ran towards one with Xu Jie.

Along the way, they bypassed a lot of houses, all of which were old Japanese buildings, basically all wooden structures, with raised floors, deep and long eaves that looked slightly upturned, and the pillars and beams were not painted, and the house as a whole looked very small and exquisite.

Xu Jie, who liked these beautiful houses very much, wanted to climb in and take a look, but Mo rarely supported Xu Jie's idea this time, but instead bypassed these houses and ran to the back of the palace.

Seeing this, Xu Jie had to look at the houses regretfully, and then followed behind Mo.

As the moisture in the air became heavier and heavier, Xu Jie gradually knew where Mo's target was this time.

Sure enough, it didn't take long for the two cats to come to the side of a hot soup fountain.

Mo, who rarely expressed his feelings, looked at the hot soup in front of him with some excitement, squinted his eyes and said to Xu Jie: "Let's go down and make a hot soup, okay?" ”

Hearing this, Xu Jie stretched his neck and looked into the hot soup, and felt that the height of the spring water in this pool should be at least 40 or 50 centimeters, so Xu Jie, who already hated water, shook his head and retreated.

While retreating Xu Jie, he also said: "What kind of hot spring to soak in on a hot day, Mao Mao is very annoying when he gets wet." Besides, the water is so deep that I can't swim, so what if I get wet. ”

As soon as he finished speaking, Mo pointed to the steps extending outward from the hot soup and said, "The stone platform over there is very spacious, and the water surface is very shallow, so that even our legs can't get past it." ”

Seeing that Xu Jie was still retreating little by little, Mo ran over and rubbed Xu Jie's body with his head, and slowly pushed it towards the stone platform, and there was a purring cat coquettish sound in his throat.

Xu Jie's bones were soft from the ink, and the roots of his ears were numb and crispy all the time, and he was pushed by the ink with his head.

Lying on the edge of the hot spring, he carefully clicked a few times in the hot spring with his paws, and Xu Jie, who felt good, finally got into the water under his feet.

Slowly walked a few steps on the top of the steps, although the slippery steps made Xu Jie walk carefully, but the fun of playing in the water quickly overshadowed a qiē.

At this time, Xu Jie felt a lot of large ripples on the water surface around him, and when he looked back, he found that Mo had stepped on the steps and went into the water.

Mo stepped on the water and leaned towards Xu Jie's side step by step, Xu Jie felt that Mo's eyes suddenly became very hot when he looked at it, which made it feel very uncomfortable.

I don't know why Xu Jie's body is suddenly hot, and I don't know if he was soaked in a hot spring or looked at by ink.

Xu Jie, who didn't know where to put his hands and feet, turned sideways, trying to avoid Mo's hot/spicy eyes, but he didn't realize that he was being driven to the shore by Mo little by little.

Xu Jie, who was soon squeezed between the ink and the stones on the shore, was a little unhappy and pushed the ink with his body, wanting it to leave some space for himself.

Mo didn't say anything, just began to lick Xu Jie's neck vigorously with his tongue.

Xu Jie began to gasp heavily, and his body had turned from hot to hot.

Xu Jie, who was leaning up his neck, began to snort uncontrollably, squinting his eyes and meowing.

Mo licked and licked it, then turned his head and suddenly grabbed Xu Jie's hind skin, raised his head and picked it up, letting its two front paws rest on the stone.

Xu Jie felt bad, and just as it was about to speak, Mo turned over and rode up.

Soon, the cat's meow was mixed with the sound of splashing water, making the atmosphere of the hot spring hotter and hotter and hotter.

Two hours later, Xu Jie, who had dried his hair, walked on the street with his legs limped and huffed.

Behind it was a satisfied look of ink after gluttony.

After finally walking back to Grandma Fujimoto's stall, Xiao Jiantai opened his mouth and asked when he saw them, "Great Sage, where did you two go?" We've been looking for you for a long time. ”

Xu Jie had no face to answer when he heard this, so he had to jump on the back of the tricycle silently.

It's a pity that its legs are still weak, and it can't control its strength, and its paws grabbed the back seat of the tricycle, but its body couldn't go up, and finally Junzi, who was squatting on it, reached out and carried it up.

Xu Jie, who was carried on the tricycle, was lying on the side of his back pocket cross-legged, and he always felt that Junzi's eyes just now looked at it with deep meaning, which made Xu Jie feel ashamed and ashamed.

Mo, who knew that the little raccoon flower was losing his temper, didn't dare to provoke it, but just squatted silently beside Xu Jie, and waited until its breath calmed down a little before leaning over to lick Xu Jie's hair.

Finally, all four of them were found, and Grandma Fujimoto, who had finished selling the watermelons, happily rode a tricycle home with them.
