Body 204 Mr. and Mrs. Shimizu
Sun Moon Mountain Shrine Maiden, Human Pillar, Kurozawa Yuri......
I was immersed in the names and the weird yellowed photos.
"Dad, grandpa, I've already contacted the Japanese side, if I really want to go, I can help book the closest hotel to Sun Moon Mountain." Mo Qin held the phone and pressed it with one hand, apparently not hanging up.
"That's a real bother." The head of the Mo family said to Moqin.
She shook her head with a smile and turned around, fluent Japanese pouring out of her mouth.
"The third sister is very powerful." Mo Yin came to my side and handed me the information of this incident, and the crack on his face, which had been cold for a while, with a doting smile.
She praised her sister unreservedly and looked at Mo Qin proudly: "She is proficient in the five Chinese languages and is a diplomat of our Mo family." ”
It's no wonder that Moqin is so fluent in Japanese, and he talks eloquently and confidently with the person on the other end of the phone.
The head of the Mo family and the old man Mo walked over, looked at me with some embarrassment, and said hesitantly: "Rong...... The Queen's Mother......"
I felt sick when I heard it, and I didn't want to tell them who I really was at first, just to avoid the current situation.
It was a good relationship, but it was very embarrassing at the moment, and I could only say helplessly: "Don't be so restrained, even if I am the queen of Hades, this identity only works in the underworld, you can just call me Rong Hua, or Xiao Hua." ”
I really can't afford to let a few elders who are several rounds older than me be respectful to me.
They also seemed to see my intentions, and they didn't reluctantly call me the queen, so I felt a little more comfortable.
"When are you leaving?"
I couldn't help asking, the current situation is not optimistic, it can be said that we are not allowed to drag on, Moqin discussed with the Japanese side, and walked over: "The ticket has been booked for you, you will leave immediately, you should be able to catch the next flight." ”
As soon as her words fell, several people from the Mo family began to quickly pack the luggage they were going to use.
Mo Jin kept pulling her brother and sister to go with her, but she was ordered to stay at home, and she finally left in discouragement, and according to Mo Qin, she probably hid back in her room and got angry with us.
I'm used to her childish behavior that doesn't fit her age from time to time, but I don't resent it, and I am relieved to know that she has returned to the room.
This time it's not trivial, and I don't want Mo Jin to risk his life with us.
……
The plane soon stopped at Osaka International Airport, I was carrying a backpack with a small amount of change of clothes, and Yang Yi was carrying a large hiking bag behind him, and he had become more cautious since that trip to the ancient mansion.
There must be a lot of necessities in it.
Old Man Mo's physical condition does not allow for a long journey, and it was the head of the Mo family and the three brothers and sisters of the Mo family who came, and the people sent by the An family also came with him.
As we walked out of the airport, we saw a middle-aged couple holding a sign in their hands, waving to us.
"They are ......," I asked Moqin suspiciously.
"They are the Qing Shui couple who came to greet us, and they are also one of the few people who know the secret of Sun Moon Mountain."
The middle-aged couple standing there were dressed very ordinary, and both of them had friendly and warm smiles on their faces.
After they put us at the hotel, we decided to go to their accommodation.
Since there are a lot of people who act, it is definitely not suitable to go to other people's homes all at once, it will be very rude.
Therefore, under the discussion of everyone, we let a few juniors go to visit, and a few elders discussed the next actions and plans at the hotel.
After the division of labor, we went to their house with Mr. and Mrs. Shimizu.
I always thought that they would live in an apartment that is very common in Japan, but I didn't expect it to be a small old house that can only be found in the countryside.
They welcomed us in, and there was a lot of confusion about the Japanese traditions, such as taking off our shoes when we entered the room.
Fortunately, Mr. and Mrs. Shimizu didn't mind.
As soon as we sat down, I looked at Moqin, and she was the only one on the scene who could speak Japanese, so I motioned for her to ask and get straight to the point.
Mrs. Shimizu was kneeling and pouring tea for us, while Mr. Shimizu was sitting by the window, thoughtful.
"You've worked this trip, come, drink some tea."
Moqin translates for us, and I speak directly to our purpose.
"Mrs. Shimizu, we want to know about the Sun Moon Mountain, and these ......" I put a few photos on the table and pushed them to her.
I clearly caught the horror and confusion in Lady Shimizu's eyes, and her gaze flickered for a moment when she saw the wedding photo of Yuri Kurosawa at the top.
Sure enough, Mrs. Shimizu must know something.
"Please let us know." I said excitedly, but Moqin grabbed my shoulders and signaled me not to ask too much, and I listened, and immediately leaned back and sat there in a decadent manner.
Mo Yin had been sitting quietly on the side, and Mo Yuan was the same, but he was holding a notebook in his hand, seemingly ready to record important information.
Mrs. Qing Shui beckoned to her husband by the window: "Husband, come over for a moment." ”
After speaking, she shook her hands and trembled to pick up a few photos on the table, her eyes instantly filled with tears, and the flesh hanging down her face trembled.
"I recognize, I naturally recognize the people above......"
Her hand touched Kurosawa in the photo, but her pupils reflected a scene that did not match the photo.
It seems that through her eyes, she can know what kind of secret there is behind these photos.
I unfolded the picture of the shrine maiden again and handed it to her, and when she saw it, tears flowed from her eyes, and Mr. Shimizu sighed when he saw his wife crying, and sat down beside him and put his arm around her shoulder.
"Where did you get these things?"
Mr. Shimizu looked at us solemnly, and I could only tell the truth, his face was heavy, and when he saw his wife crying, he patted her shoulder with his hand and ordered, "Go and get me a pot of wine." ”
Mrs. Shimizu nodded, wiped her tears, and got up to prepare sake for her husband.
I could tell that he was deliberately trying to take his wife, and it was only when Lady Shimizu closed the door that he picked up the picture of the shrine maiden and smiled apologetically at us as he looked at it.
"Madame is rude."
Moqin didn't help translate this sentence, and I understood it.
I shook my head and saw that he had turned his gaze to the portrait again, and the few of us didn't bother him at random, but let him look through the things on the table.
Finally, he put down a few photos in his hand, patted his thigh, and sighed.
"Mr. Shimizu knows something, but it doesn't hurt to say it, I won't hide it from you, our companions are hidden, and we must rescue them."
When he heard the word Shenyin, Mr. Shimizu was obviously surprised and incredulous, and exclaimed, "What do you mean? ”
After speaking, he immediately pointed the finger at Moqin: "Miss Moqin, when you called me, you didn't tell me this. ”
Mo Qin immediately admitted: "I'm very sorry for hiding something from you." ”
Mr. Shimizu's sharp gaze glanced at us, and then as if compromised, he shook his head and said, "We are ordinary people, we don't know each other, we can contact me, find me something, except for Yuri and Sun Moon Mountain, what else can there be?" ”
He got up from the tatami mat, walked to the side of the cabinet, took out a long box, put it on the table, and opened it.
Inside were a few photos of what was taken on it that made the eyes of the five of us wide-eyed!
The background of each one looks beautiful, and there are some photos of shrine maidens, as well as a panoramic view of a shrine.
The last few photos are very blurry, and compared to the previous photos, which are relatively clear, these photos seem to have been taken secretly, both in terms of angle and shooting location, they feel very hidden.
And what was shown in the photo also made my pupils shrink.
The scenes of the strange wedding, as well as the girl who was forced into the coffin, I can feel the despair and unwillingness of the girl through this photo.
"This thing is called a bandit, and it is a kind of wooden box that specializes in putting people."
Mr. Shimizu corrected me, and he took out the basic notebook from the box and placed it neatly on the table.
"My ancestor was a journalist, and at that time, Sun Moon Mountain was very famous, and he was also commissioned to go there to take and record some photos for newspapers."
"But when he was working there, he still discovered the real secrets behind Sun Moon Mountain, these are his diaries, and there are some investigation materials."
He passed the thing, and Moqin and I looked at each other, respectfully took it, and opened it to look at it.
"When he was in Sun Moon Mountain, he fell in love with a witch." Mr. Shimizu's finger touched the portrait of a shrine maiden.
"It's Yuri Kurosawa."
I was taken aback, I didn't expect that Mr. Shimizu's ancestor and Yuri Kurosawa had such a relationship!
Mo Qin sat aside, and when he read the diary, there was a shocked expression on his face, and he didn't change for a long time.
"My ancestors, so they didn't publicize the secrets of Sun Moon Mountain, and those photos and diaries were also handed over to the family for safekeeping, and they were guaranteed not to be leaked."
He looked at the door a little annoyed, as if he was a little dissatisfied with why his wife hadn't brought the wine yet.
"Later, the mountain collapsed, and the Sun Moon Mountain was cut off from the outside world, and my ancestor was still in the mountain at that time, and he disappeared because of this, leaving only these precious records."
My hands caressed the yellowed photograph with a rough surface, and my eyes narrowed.
"In order to miss him, the family has never lost this box, and they also respect his wishes, so it has been passed down from generation to generation."
Just as he was about to explain the matter, there was a knock at the door, and the sound of the door opening.
Mrs. Shimizu holds a tray with sake, quilts, and snacks.
"I've kept you waiting." Her voice was soft and low.
Yang Yi seemed to have received some news and left the table with his mobile phone, while Mo Yuan sat side by side with Mo Qin, studying the content.
For a moment, everyone in the room was busy, and what I noticed was the face of Mrs. Shimizu.
Her eyes at the moment were flustered and dodgy, and even when she poured wine for her husband, her hands trembled a little.
Thinking that she had been gone for a long time, I couldn't help but think of a possibility.
Will...... Did she hear all those conversations just now?
