Chapter 6: Aunt Koreeda
Under the guidance of the lights in front of me, a torii gate finally appeared in front of me.
The torii gate in Japan resembles an ancient Chinese torii arch and is usually the entrance to a shrine. At the same time, it also means that the front is the realm of God.
It's just that Beishan Jinghuang knows very well that there is no god in this world.
However, there are "things" that are contrary to God.
Ahead is Kitayama Shrine, where the Kitayama family used to receive clients from all over Japan. And there is no doubt that the vast majority of the clients who find this place are rich people. It is said that after the defeat of the war, the Beishan Shrine was located far from the city, so it was basically unaffected by the U.S. air raids, and it was not affected much after the war. Before the lost twenty years came, when the price of land in Tokyo was enough to buy all the territory of the United States, the family owned a large number of properties in almost all parts of Japan, from Okinawa in the south to Hokkaido in the north.
After driving a Nissan sedan and entering the interior of the torii gate, Kitayama Jinghuang recalled the terrifying memories of his childhood.
At this time, the shrine is already decorated with a wedding ceremony in advance, and it is clear that a wedding ceremony with traditional Japanese folklore will be held here.
The doors opened.
As soon as Beishan Jinghuang got out of the car, the fireworks of Scarlet Village walked up.
"Miss Jinghuang." She bowed to Beishan Jinghuang: "Please follow me to see Lord Zhenxin." ”
Kitayama Zhenxin, that is, Jinghuang's maternal grandfather, is the highest speaker in this family. Although he has been living in seclusion here, it is said that people in the Diet have also crossed paths with him.
And he is the person who fears Beishan Jinghuang the most in this place.
"Is this an order?"
When Jing Huang spoke, his tone was extremely cold, without a trace of emotion.
Hanako continued to bow and said, "That's right, it's Lord Shin's order. ”
"I don't want to go."
When Jing Huang said this, her mother also got out of the car and said to her, "Jing Huang, since your grandfather asked you to go, you can go." You're the heir to this shrine in the future, so ......"
"I ...... No...... Think...... Go! ”
Jing Huang didn't want to see his grandfather at all.
She has lived to this day, and the time she has to spend with her parents and brother is extremely limited, all because of her grandfather's restrictions. Because he is there, no one dares to disobey his orders, even if he wants to go abroad to visit his parents and brother, he needs approval.
Jinghuang didn't want to inherit this shrine at all and become a shrine maiden. She doesn't even have any nostalgia for Japan as a country, she prefers to live in China, and she is half Japanese anyway.
Not long ago, China released a draft of the regulations on permanent residence for foreigners, and when I saw this information on the Internet, Jinghuang was very happy. She plans to live in China after graduating from university. She will make her own money to pay back to the family, and she doesn't want to owe them a penny anymore. She wanted to leave the country forever, and when she arrived in China, her grandfather's influence in Japanese politics would be meaningless.
"Lord Shin asked you to ...... over"
Hanabi still talks to himself like a repeater.
At this moment, it can't help but make Beishan Jinghuang even more bored.
"I'm not going!"
Then she walked straight to the front of the shrine. As he walked, he suddenly stopped again.
There's really nothing changing here. After all, she has lived here for eight years, and it can be said that she spent most of her childhood in this place.
A gust of wind blew, making her feel a little chilly for a moment.
She looked at the path ahead, and every time her brother and her parents came to visit her from China, she liked to take him along that path, and there was a lush green belt near the path, and even now, that green belt is still there.
"There is no change at all......"
The North Mountain Jinghuang slowly walked towards the green belt.
Because it's close to the entrance to the shrine's torii gate, and it's not usually seen here, she often likes to come here with her brother. My brother usually comes here during New Year's Day, and many people come here to visit the shrine on New Year's Day.
At that time, through my grandfather's network of contacts in politics and conglomerates, those rich people who encountered "trouble" would come here. There is even no shortage of foreigners. And only those who have money and power will understand the affairs of the Beishan family and be convinced of the family's "ability".
She and her brother would always be here, watching people come to the shrine one by one with a request for help, and the person who acted as a witch at that time was her deceased aunt, Kitayama Yukie. Before Aunt Koeda died, she was the real mother to Jinghuang.
Even now, Aunt Koeda's weight in Jinghuang's heart is above her real mother. Even, it took her a long time to realize that Aunt Koeda was not her mother in the true sense of the word.
And every time ...... My aunt would always find the green belt here, and then, to herself and my brother, tell them not to stay here......
Even now, she can vividly recall all the details of that time.
Jing Huang walked towards the lush greenery step by step, slowly bypassed, and walked to the back.
I miss it so much......
Since that incident, she finally left here, even on New Year's Day, she will never come back here, but go to another shrine for New Year's worship.
She squatted down slowly...... Because she is barely just over 1.6 meters tall, her body can still be completely covered by the green belt at this time.
Then...... Aunt Yukieda, who always walks without making a sound at this time, walks behind her and pats her on the shoulder......
For her, her aunt's treatment of her can really be described as "treating her as her own", without the slightest exaggeration. After discovering that she was infertile, her aunt decided not to marry anymore. Whether it is now or in the past, the status of women in Japanese society is extremely low, and it may be really difficult for women who have lost their fertility to enter marriage again.
She was thinking...... I suddenly felt a hand gently patting my right shoulder!
"I said I wouldn't go to see ......"
She stood up, and just turned her head, she saw ......
Behind him, there is no one at all!
……
Tokyo Narita Airport.
As if the Olympics were approaching, the big screen at the airport was showing advertisements for the Japanese Olympics and even recalling the 1964 Olympics.
Dong Xie and Dong Ning took their luggage from the check-in office and originally planned to go out directly, but at this time, they also stood in front of the big screen with great interest, watching the picture of the 1964 Tokyo Olympics.
Dong Xie couldn't help but think of the Olympic Games in 08, when he was chasing Xie Ruoni and made an appointment with her to go to the capital to watch the opening ceremony of the Olympics. At that time, Qiu Feng said that he had a way, so Dong Xie asked him to sell him 2 tickets for the opening ceremony, Qiu Feng said it was a foolish thing at that time, he thought that he would definitely get a ticket, and bragged in front of Xie Ruoni that he would take her to watch the opening ceremony in the Bird's Nest, but he didn't expect to buy it at all......
At this time, he really didn't want Xie Ruoni to come over. If you meet her, it's too embarrassing. Beishan Jinglong, this guy, is really on his own, who let him make such a mess.
Then, Dong Xie took out his mobile phone and dialed a number.
Soon, the phone was connected.
"Hello, this is Beishan Shrine, I'm the Beishan family steward Scarlet Village Hanabi, please say."
"Hmm......" Dong Xie then handed over the mobile phone to Dong Ning, he didn't speak Japanese, and he spoke dry English, so he could only hand it over to Ah Ning at this time.
Dong Ning took the phone and began to talk to the other party in fluent English.
"Hello, we are Dong Xie and Dong Ning who have made an appointment before. We want ......"
"I remember, Mr. Dong and Miss Dong. The two of them are friends of Master Kitayama, so they can come directly to the shrine, and I will come to pick them up in advance. ”
"Well, it doesn't have to be that trouble......"
"The two of them are outsiders, and if you want to come to the shrine, you must cross the Lost Tree Sea, and if there is no one to guide you, once you get lost, you will never be able to get out again."
Dong Ning was just about to say something when he heard a voice from his mobile phone. Although Dong Ning doesn't speak much Japanese, she has watched so many Japanese animated Japanese dramas, and she can still understand a little bit of simple conversation.
What the other party said was: "Who, who touched me behind my back just now?" ”
