Lunch is still relatively content, although it can be regarded as "home cooking" on Fu Jixianli's table, but it is more abundant, and I don't know if it is his illusion, I always feel that this kind of food grown in the local mountains and forests, picked on the spot and then cooked, has a fresher taste and a more refreshing taste.

The place of dining was in the restaurant downstairs, and after Fu Ji Xianli and the two of them had almost eaten, the Morishita gentleman came over again, and after sitting on the side, he said to Fu Ji Xianli, "Are the guests interested in deer hunting?" If you are interested, we can make arrangements in the afternoon and find someone to take the guests to the woods to have a good luck...... This is one of the more distinctive activities in our local area. ”

Fu Jixian paused for a moment, "The deer is so cute, so ...... Is its meat good? ”

Japan should be regarded as a country rich in forest resources, and Fu Ji Kenri had also seen a bear eating a deer in Mt. Fuji before, but he was not embarrassed to grab it at that time...... Generally speaking, this kind of wild animal is allowed to be killed, and in many Japanese movies and television productions, there is a scene where you drive a car in the countryside and then just hit the lane and die.

The Japanese are accustomed to hunting large and medium-sized wild animals such as dolphins, sharks, and whales.

"Freshly caught prey, if cooked properly, how can the taste be bad, this is probably a better place in the countryside than in the city...... There are some flavors that you can't definitely experience in the city.

However, it also depends on luck, even if you go into the mountains, you can't guarantee that you will get a harvest every time, and because of the weather, we can't take guests too deep into the mountains...... The approximate range of activity is that we will only be active in areas with a mobile phone signal. ”

This Mr. Morishita is quite thoughtful, although he is recommending entertainment activities to guests, but at least the safety factor is also taken into account - who would be idle and struggling deep into the mountains.

"Speaking of which, this kind of light snow weather is more of a hunting atmosphere." Fu Jixianli exclaimed like a real tourist.

It's not a blizzard outside, so the safety hazards of the weather are minimal, but it creates a special atmosphere for some outdoor activities.

"So...... What about the guest's decision? According to the theory of Kampo, venison is a great ingredient. Mr. Morishita said after looking at Fu Ji Kenri and then at Manaka Aoi.

Well, I always feel that this old guy seems to be hinting at something, but Fu Jixian has no evidence...... If you can't make it up or not, you have a fart relationship with him Fu Jixian.

"You can give it a try, if ...... This kind of wild hunting does not attract words from the police. Fu Jixian glanced at the other party, and then rubbed the edge for a temptation.

"Haha, it must be okay, we haven't been to the police in a remote and quiet village for a long time." Mr. Morishita said with a smile, it should be said that his answer was a very cooperative answer for Fu Jixianli, "In that case, I'll arrange things for the afternoon." ”

Mori went down to arrange the afternoon's affairs, and Fu Ji Kenri and Manaka Aoi returned to the room again. He sat down on a low stool next to the hearth, and then asked Aoi Manaka, "Aoi-san, what do you think?" The owner's statement that they had not seen the police for a long time was clearly contrary to the client's statement. ”

Manaka Aoi sat on the other side, "Indeed, according to Zhu Xingxian, after her brother Zhu Xingchi disappeared here, she chose to call the police as soon as possible, and the police soon launched a corresponding investigation...... This kind of investigation can't even come to the location of the incident, right? ”

"In terms of attitude alone, it doesn't seem like both sides are lying, but this conflict shows that one of the two sides must be lying, and it does not rule out the possibility that everyone is lying...... In every sense, whether it's Miss Zhuxing or the Morishita family, it seems that the acting skills are very good. Fu Jixian said that they had just come to the village and made such a discovery.

"Let's continue the investigation, if there were really police officers who came here not long ago to investigate the disappearance, then the news must be hidden...... In such a village with relatively closed information, any small news can quickly spread to the extent that everyone knows about it, not to mention that the disappearance is never a trivial matter. ”

There is a meaning that although Mazhong Aoi and Fu Ji Xianli have not said it explicitly, their views are similar, that is, both of them are more inclined to have a problem with the star strings, because what the Morisha family said is easy to be corroborated or denied by many parties, so the probability of them lying is low.

Coupled with the fact that the starstrings are suddenly unable to come here, this is also very telling.

By now, Fu Jixian is going to put a question mark on whether Zhu Xingxian called the police because of his brother's disappearance.

"In the afternoon, we should be able to contact people other than Morishita, so let's continue to inquire." Fu Jixian said, "Also, Sister Kui, you have to cooperate more, after all, we are playing a couple now." ”

"With what? Does it work with the body? Aoi Makaka rolled her eyes, "You have to be serious, we're working right now." ”

Well, how can I say it, it would be great if Sister Aoi could cooperate with the body...... Ahem,No,It means that there is something wrong with Shinaka Aoi's attitude.,Trying to play a good role in the set identity relationship.,So that the people here don't notice the abnormality.,Isn't this an important direction of hard work?

Aoi Manaka is actually a narrow-minded woman who doesn't know how to dedicate herself to her work.

…………

While the two were discussing something similar, on the other side, Tomoko Morishita was going to contact the "guide" who entered the mountain.

"It's really rare for a guest to come here at this time."

"Well, it's a team of young couples, the male side is tall and handsome, the personality seems to be very gentle, and he likes to laugh, and the female side ...... It's a slightly older 'little girlfriend' who doesn't talk much, can drive, looks cool, and seems to be the strong side.

How to put it, I feel that this kind of relationship is a little cute.

It is said that I came here to relax, and I was introduced by a friend. ”

Tomoko Morishita described Fu Ji Kenri and Manaka Aoi to the other party. As for her description of the two people, it can only be said how inaccurate and inaccurate it is, on the one hand, it may be that her eyes are on the back of her head when she looks at people, and on the other hand, it is also because of the deliberate performance of Fu Jixian and Zhenzhong Kui.

Since coming here, Fu Ji Xianli has been in charge of communicating with the Morishita family, and Aoi Manaka seems to have less to say because she is carefully observing the situation here, hoping to find problems or flaws in the first place.

"Is it a good character? That's okay...... It's a good thing to have guests come to the door, but some people like to run around after entering the mountain, and the itinerary that was originally simple and safe will be full of variables and even thrilling because of those people's self-determination. As he spoke, the man shook his head involuntarily, as if he remembered some messy bad memory.

"This time it shouldn't be, there are only two guests, and we are also two people accompanying them...... People can certainly see it. Tomoko Morishita said that a small number of guests naturally has the advantage of a small number of people.

"OK, there's no problem with me in the afternoon, Zhizi, you can bring guests over, in this weather, it's good to be able to be outside for four or five hours...... Winter is not summer and we certainly don't camp out overnight. ”

Tomoko Morishita returned home, changed into clothes suitable for outdoor activities, and then went upstairs to call Fu Ji Xianli and the two, and they were also prepared accordingly...... Fu Ji Xianli and Manaka Aoi definitely didn't bring anything like mountaineering suits or jackets, after all, they hadn't expected similar activities before, so they just had to pay attention to keeping warm outdoors.

"Let me introduce, this is Mr. Taniyama, and he will take us to hunt next."

After coming to another place not far from the village, Fu Jixian met the guide, who had short hair, was twenty-six or seventeen years old, and looked capable and neat.

"Hello two guests." Gu Shan also said hello.

"Do you have any experience in using shotguns and have obtained the corresponding qualifications? If not, hunting equipment, I personally recommend crossbow arrows......"

Of course, hunting requires equipment, and Gu Shan took Fu Ji Xianli and the two into a garage-like place, where there were several shotguns, bows, crossbows, and so on.

Under normal circumstances, Taniyama would certainly not have shoved a shotgun into the hands of someone who had never pulled the trigger.

"Sister Aoi, should we bring something? Or just look at it, hunting small animals always seems a bit cruel, I think I'm only responsible for the part that is eaten. Fu Jixianli's gaze only swept around, and then he said that he didn't really plan to choose a long-range weapon to hunt.

Aoi Manaka stepped forward, hung strings on several compound bows in turn, and then made a choice after testing the strength, "This bow will do." ”

There was supposed to be a simple safety note here, but after Taniyama saw Aoi Manaka fiddling with the bow and arrow, he decisively gave up the nonsense...... This young lady is a familiar hand at a glance.

Whether she can shoot or not to get her prey is secondary, at least she won't shoot arrows at people, and that's enough.

After Aoi made his choice, Taniyama himself brought a double-barreled shotgun, and his safety after entering the mountain still depended on him...... Whether it is personnel, equipment, or equipment used and worn by personnel, these things must be paid for by Fu Ji Xianli and Zhenzhong Aoi.

Guests, guests who are willing to pay are "God".

After that, a group of four people got into a van, and Taniyama was responsible for driving.

The car continued to travel some distance in the mountain before coming to a halt, and the group of four got off halfway up the mountain, in front of which was a relatively flat hillside, which was supposed to be a nearby "natural" hunting area.

Manaka Aoi looked very interested in hunting, and she walked a little closer to Taniyama in the front position, while the "logistics staff" such as Fu Ji Kenri and Morishita Chiko were slightly behind.

Then Fu Jixian began to chat.

"Miss Morishita, did Miss Zhuxing and Mr. Zhuxing also come here to participate in hunting when they came here...... If you are interested and immersed in it, then this kind of activity is actually quite interesting. ”

"Xiao Xian and her brother? They hadn't been here. When they came here, it happened to be our annual autumn festival, the 'Hunting Rock Festival', and everyone was immersed in this kind of activity...... Mr. Zhu Xingchi seems to have been very interested in this kind of traditional and occult ritual.

Our festival activities...... To put it bluntly, it is something with obvious superstition and witchcraft, which should be regarded as a remnant of the old era, and it is not good or bad to preserve this tradition, but it has been preserved anyway.

However, there are many customers who like this kind of activity, probably because it seems very fresh, anyway, it is a scene far from their own life, and it is always interesting to look at it. ”

I can't tell whether Tomoko Morishita is sincere in her words or whether she is talking about people and talking about hell, in short, she described this kind of grand event to Fu Jixianli.

"If it attracts tourists, this kind of festival will definitely have its own uniqueness, so what exactly is the process of the stone hunting festival?" Fu Ji Xianli didn't show too much interest, he seemed to be just looking for a topic to chat with the other party...... This state seems to be mimicking the male compatriots who accompany their girlfriends to the mall, and they are so bored that they have to talk to other people.

"Hunting for stones? Actually, I don't think the name of this festival is very accurate, because in terms of content, this kind of festival has nothing to do with 'hunting', and the core content is actually 'sacrifice'.

The 'stone' represents the mountain god or mountain ghost, and every year we sacrifice the 'living' to the mountain god to appease its possible anger...... Of course, it is no longer possible to actually sacrifice a living person.

This may have been the case during the superstitious period, but now they are replaced by carved wooden or paper figures. ”

"It's not difficult to understand this kind of traditional activity to calm the anger of the mountain gods, after all, Japan is a country with frequent earthquakes, and in the period of superstition in history, earthquakes are always something that can be associated with the power of ghosts and gods." Fu Jixian tried to discuss it with the other party.

"Yes, the content of the stone hunting festival is that at the same time as the floating lanterns are released, the people of the whole village escort the animal sacrifice at night and throw it into the mouth of the mountain god, so as to appease the anger of the mountain god and pray for the protection of the mountain god."

"The mouth of the mountain god?" Fu Jixian noticed the important information that came out of the other party's mouth.

"Actually, it's an ancient well, located in front of the shrine at the top of the village...... I can't say exactly when it was dug, but the well seems to be quite old. ”

Tomoko Morishita was just chatting, "I don't really feel like this kind of description alone, but if you really participate in it, it's actually quite atmospheric during the sacrifice, and that feeling is not easy to describe...... Lonely and eerie? Anyway, it can give people goosebumps.

Speaking of which, during this year's festival, there were also "supernatural phenomena" that some people witnessed "living people" who were sacrificed as animals actually coming to life and wandering around......

"Oh, that's interesting."

Sacrifices, ancient wells, living offerings? Fu Jixian seemed to understand a little bit of what the problem was.

At least there's a bit of a direction to explore.
