The car slowly drove from the city to the suburbs, and the scenery on both sides of the road changed from high-rise buildings to street bungalows, and later to undulating wheat fields.

Looking at such a scene, Zhu Yu remembered the scenery on the side of the road in his hometown when he was a child, and it was really a little similar.

If it weren't for the fact that there was a piece of history in my heart, the people who looked at the people working in the fields were really not much different from their hometowns.

With similar outfits, the same complexion and hair, how can those people be so ruthless?

It seems that since the Sui and Tang dynasties, these people have been carrying out all kinds of snooping on their motherland with an indescribable purpose.

When Huaxia was strong, they seemed so humble on the surface, and they learned all kinds of etiquette from Huaxia, and they learned more like and more deeply.

When Huaxia became ill, they immediately showed their sharp claws and pounced on them in an attempt to tear apart and swallow up the huge country they once called their mother country.

The car was driving in the mountains, Wang Wei didn't know the change in Zhu Yu's mentality, she said while driving:

"Looking at the scenery on both sides, it's really refreshing.

I chose to stay because I had a similar trip.

The people here are very kind, the scenery is very good, and of course what attracts me more is that it will be much better to stay here than at home."

Listening to her words, Zhu Yu and Ran Jie twitched the corners of their mouths and did not answer.

Wang Wei is very talkative, although Zhu Yu and Ran Jie don't talk much, she is happy to share her mental journey.

She talked about the time she started when she went to college, to the time she met her boyfriend in Japan, to the decision to stay and settle down, and the fact that she is now working part-time to earn money.

When Wang Wei had almost finished talking about this, the car came to a small town.

The town is not big, there are only about one or two hundred households in total, and the tallest building in the town is three floors. It doesn't look much different from the ordinary town in Huaxia.

Wang Wei parked the car in front of a two-story restaurant, and said while loosening her seat belt:

"Let's settle lunch here. The noodles are still delicious, they are no worse than Ajisen ramen, and they are cheap."

After the three of them got out of the car, Zhu Yu looked around curiously at the town and the people in the town.

Seeing Zhu Yu stop to watch, Wang Wei said:

"Don't look at the underdevelopment here, but the people in the town are very simple and polite. There's almost no need to worry about any disputes here, you'll be bullied, and basically nothing happens to you."

There are not many people in the town, and they are quite curious about outsiders.

An Akita dog walked slowly from a distance, smelled the tires of Wang Wei's car curiously, then cocked his hind legs to rush the tires, soaked urine, and left lazily after urinating.

During the whole process, I didn't look at Wang Wei and the three of them at all, as if they didn't exist at all.

"Is that a sign of friendliness to us?" Ran Jie joked.

Wang Wei said with some embarrassment:

"This is supposed to be a stray dog, and it gets along with the people in the town, and it has made this place its own territory, so it behaves like this."

The three of them entered the restaurant and found a table by the window and sat down.

A young girl wearing a headscarf and an apron came over and poured water on the trio.

Wang Wei said a few words to her in Japanese, and the girl was a little surprised, glanced at Zhu Yu and Ran Jie with some curiosity, nodded, and left with the teapot.

There are not many customers in the restaurant, and everyone is really not talking loudly, and it looks very quiet.

Wang Wei is very satisfied with such an environment, which is more in line with the way she introduced Zhu Yu.

"I remember when it says that Japan has a population of more than 100 million? It's not a big place, so it's supposed to be crowded, so why do you feel like there are so few people here?" Ran Jie couldn't help but ask curiously.

"Young people are going to work in the big cities. They feel that there is no future in the countryside.

And Japan's side

The aging population is very serious, much more serious than in China. A significant proportion of the population is made up of elderly people.

At this time, the old man is either at home or in the field, and rarely will be here.

Most of the old people are relatively simple, and those who can not consume will not consume."

This explanation makes sense.

While talking, the waiter brought three bowls of noodles on a tray and came out of the back kitchen.

When they were about to arrive at Zhu Yu's table, there was a sudden noisy sound at the door.

Zhu Yu turned his head to look over and found that there were four or five sixteen or seventeen-year-old boys walking in from outside, laughing.

The two teenagers walking in front didn't pay attention to the waiter who was serving the bowl at all, and waved their arms to fight with the people behind them.

The counterattack of the people behind made the two of them quickly dodge, and they just hit the waiter holding the bowl under this jump.

Caught off guard, the tray in the waiter's hand was directly knocked out, and seeing that the three bowls of noodles were about to smash on the table, Zhu Yu and Ran Jie reached out.

In Wang Wei's stunned, one of the two grabbed the tray and stabilized the two bowls of noodles on it, and the other caught the bowl of noodles that flew out.

Wang Wei consciously helped the waiter, and when they were sure that the waiter was okay, they turned their heads to look at the teenagers.

originally thought that the boy would apologize if he hit someone, but what no one expected was that the boy who hit the person not only did not have the slightest intention of apologizing, but also yelled at the waiter.

Even if he didn't understand the Japanese language, Zhu Yu knew that what these teenagers said was not a good thing.

The waiter originally felt that it was rude to Zhu Yu and them, and planned to apologize.

As a result, these teenagers were reprimanded, and they couldn't speak, but just bowed again and again.

Wang Wei naturally couldn't stand it, and scolded the teenagers loudly, looking at the tone and the way she pointed at the waiter, she should want these teenagers to apologize to the waiter.

How could those teenagers bow their heads? Listening to Wang Wei's words, he came over with an unkind face, looking like that, he wanted to suppress people with power.

At this time, a middle-aged man came out of the back kitchen when he heard a noise.

Several teenagers reacted quickly, and one of them said something loudly to the middle-aged man, and pointed at the waiter, his voice was so fierce that he didn't have to think about it, it must be the wicked who sued first.

The middle-aged man also bowed repeatedly, and when the teenagers finished speaking, he turned his head and scolded the waiter.

Wang Wei stepped forward and defended a few words, but basically had no effect.

The waiter bowed his head and agreed, then nodded and bowed to a few teenagers, and finally retreated to the back kitchen.

"I'm so angry! This boss is also a bastard - indiscriminately, and puts the blame on the waiter."

Wang Wei couldn't help, she blamed herself very much, and she muttered to Zhu Yu and Ran Jie.

"I'm sorry, we don't know the Japanese language, so we can't help you."

Ran Jie's words lightly aroused Wang Wei's favor, she said:

"It's really thanks to the two of you just now, otherwise that side would have been smashed, and this waiter would have lost money again.

The hierarchy on the side of the Wa Kingdom is very strict, and if this waiter resists just now, the consequences will be more serious anyway.

It's also more difficult for them to find a job now. By the way, you're pretty good!"

"Young people, it's normal to react quickly." Zhu Yu didn't say anything, so Ran Jie replied.

Wang Wei set up a quick meal for the three of them, and then started eating.

"I'm going."

Listening to this painting with the same tone as in the anime cartoon, Zhu Yu pursed his lips.

It's also quite serious.

He keenly noticed that the teenagers who were already sitting at the table and ordering food were looking at this side, pointing and pointing from time to time.

Zhu Yu faintly had a bad feeling.

But it's good to think about.

I didn't come forward just now because I felt like I was all a widow

Things that have nothing to do with themselves.

But if these people are really looking for death, then they can't blame themselves.

The taste of the noodles is not particularly good, but it is better to have a homely feeling and can continue to eat. Zhu Yu is not a picky eater, he finished eating the noodles with a sigh, put it down, wiped his mouth, picked up the cup and drank the water slowly, observing the surroundings.

At this time, the waiter also brought the meals ordered by the teenagers.

The teenagers were giggling, and one of them was pulling the waiter's sleeve and saying something, and the waiter bowed again and again, begging for something, and struggled to leave.

I don't know if it's because in front of the public, they only dare to move their mouths and don't dare to move, but those teenagers didn't make excessive moves.

Wang Wei turned her head and frowned to look at it, but in the end she didn't speak, hurriedly finished eating noodles, paid the money, and the three of them left the restaurant and got into the car.

Zhu Yu originally thought that those teenagers would make trouble, but it turned out that only one of the teenagers came to the door, watched them leave, and did nothing.

This move made Zhu Yu a little strange.

Could it be that these teenagers are really just playing pranks?

He was a little unconvinced.

The car drove out of the town, and Wang Wei said as she drove:

"Follow this road for another ten kilometers and you will enter the mountains. The mountains here are not very high, but the range is relatively large.

The family temple in the field where you are going is in the mountains, and the scenery is very good. As you can see, the road is well repaired, you can't see a car for half a day, and the traffic is okay."

Zhu Yu nodded, this environment is indeed good. There are fewer people in this way, and if you really want to take something from that temple, you don't have to worry about being easily found out if there are too many people.

The car drove more than ten kilometers into the mountains, and sure enough, I didn't see a few cars, but I saw a few pheasants and hares running by.

If you go further, you will see a house around the corner of the road.

"It's coming soon, let's go over now, and after reading it, we can catch up and go back, and we can return to Kumamoto Prefecture when it's almost dark."

Wang Wei's plan is clear and time-saving.

Zhu Yu gave a lot of money for this trip, if they can do it in one day, then earning this trip by themselves is equivalent to half a month's salary in their usual days.

The domestic people seem to be quite rich.

Zhu Yu and Ran Jie glanced at each other, and they both understood that they had messed up this matter.

How can you do it in one day's work? It had to take two days. Otherwise, if you don't have time to do this, then this trip will not be in vain!

But this is easy to do, it's a big deal to make some problems with the car or something, it's very easy.

The car drove around a bend and opened up in front of it, and here it was a valley.

The valley is relatively large, and there is a village in the place where the valley floor is relatively flat.

The village is not very large, and there is a field behind it, and from a distance, you can still see people working in the fields.

Although Japan is well developed, not all land can be mechanized for cultivation.

Zhu Yu looked into the village, and soon saw a temple in the southeast corner of the village.

The temple is surrounded by walls, which is completely different from other peasant courtyards, and the main hall is relatively grand, and the black roof looks more solemn.

"That's the Tanaka family's temple." Wang Wei controlled the steering wheel with one hand, pointed, and then immediately withdrew her hand.

"Looks like someone is at the door?" Zhu Yu glanced at it, "Let's just go there, right?"

"Okay." Customers have requirements, and Wang Wei is naturally willing to meet them.

The car drove through the village and went directly to the door of the family temple.

This time Zhu Yu and they saw clearly, here in the family temple, there was an old monk standing at the door, with a big beard and a lot of wrinkles on his face, talking to a man wearing glasses and holding a camera.

The man with the camera was surrounded by two people, one who looked like a bodyguard and the other who looked like an assistant.

[The app that has been running stably for many years is comparable to the old version of the book-chasing artifact, which is used by old bookworms.]

nyuanapp】

The man with the camera pointed to the temple and was talking about something, but the monk kept shaking his head, and the two sides looked like they couldn't get along.

The car stopped not far away.

Seeing a car driving over, the monk and the person with the camera stopped talking and looked at Wang Wei and the three of them.

The old monk glanced at Wang Wei, his eyes were a little special, and then he looked at Zhu Yu and the two, and his eyes became calm.

The person with the camera withdrew his gaze, pointed to the family temple and pointed to the old monk again, and the old monk shook his head firmly.

Probably because of Zhu Yu and them watching, the people in the village also began to look at the situation here, and the person with the camera finally didn't make any drastic moves, and turned around and left angrily.

The people in the village looked away, and there was still a handful, and the curiosity remained.

A few children jumped over, and it was lively to watch.

"Miss Bud is here?" The old monk's mood had completely regained his calm, and he said with a smile:

"These two are ......"

"These two are my guests, and this time I came here to go into the temple to pray for blessings. By the way, they said they knew about this temple because they were introduced by a friend named Shiro Oda."

"Shiro Oda?" When the old monk heard this name, he raised his eyebrows and looked at Zhu Yu:

"You know Shiro Oda?"

Zhu Yu didn't expect that this old monk could still speak Chinese, and his pronunciation was quite standard.

Hearing him ask at this time, Zhu Yu regretted a little that he was about to tell Wang Wei that he had listened to Oda Shiro about the family temple.

But since the words have been spoken, it is superfluous to say anything, and there is only one way to make up for it, and he said with a smile:

"Yes, but at first he didn't say his name was Oda Shiro, he said he was called Tashiro."

"That's him." The old monk nodded: "Shiro has always admired Chinese culture, and he has given himself the Chinese name Tian Shelang since he was a child, but he didn't expect to really use it."

He asked Zhu Yu again:

"Shiro, how is he now?"

"It's good, being a video reporter, running around the world, posting the photos you take to some platforms to make money, and you're quite famous."

Zhu Yu was telling the truth, of course, not completely.

The old monk nodded:

"I was relieved to know that he was doing well. Shiro is an obsessive man, and now it looks like he's let go, and that's a great joy - everyone, please come in."

The old monk led the people into the family temple, and the rest of the people in the village no longer looked at the excitement and retracted their heads.

Ran Jie, who finally walked into the family temple, looked back at the farmers' homes, and he keenly noticed that some people were still holding sticks in their hands.

Hehe. It seems that this old monk is not alone.

After entering, Ran Jie quietly told Zhu Yu about it.

Zhu Yuxin said that if his people didn't come, the person with the camera would bring someone in, and he would be knocked out by the people in the village with sticks.

In this way, I saved his life.

Just kidding, of course.

The courtyard of the family temple is not large compared to some large temples in China, but compared with the scale of the courtyard of ordinary peasant households, it is much larger.

Entering the door is a shadow wall, on which are painted colorful murals, but it has been aged for a long time, and it is no longer mottled to see the specific content of the painting.

Behind the shadow wall is a pine forest, the pine trees are not very large, this is a relatively cold place, and the pine trees grow slowly.

The grass under the pine tree was not well cared for, and it grew very messily, and Zhu Yu even saw that there were mushrooms in it.

The old monk occasionally glanced back at Zhu Yu, and then followed his gaze to see the mushroom, and suddenly became happy, stepped out of the stone-paved path, entered the grass, picked the mushroom, and then walked back with a smile.

Thanks to the blessing of the Lord, you can drink mushroom soup today.

Look at this old monk's beard is white, how can he be seventy years old. Didn't think about it

It's really the character of an old naughty boy.

Behind the shadow wall, it was almost a hundred meters away from the main hall, and the stone road also curved to the entrance of the main hall.

The main hall is really big, there are side halls on both sides, but the entrance to the side hall is in the interior of the main hall.

The old monk is called Hongyuan, and he looks very thin, a bit like the fairy wind bones of those monks in the Japanese cartoons.

He pointed to the idol in the temple and said:

"This is dedicated to the god of the bull's head, which was originally a piece of wood carved with the head of the bull, and then he became a god after gaining aura—"

"Actually, I think you also have questions about why I, a monk, am in this temple. But who made me a wild monk, and I was favored by the Tanaka family back then, so I had to stay here.

The head of the Tanaka family at that time was a stubborn character, and I originally hoped to be able to worship the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas, but I really couldn't, and it was okay to worship the Buddhas and the Minotaur God together.

But the head of the family at that time was unwilling, and I couldn't help it at that time, who made me hungry? Then I had to say yes to him. I didn't think it would be a ...... for decades."

Zhu Yu didn't expect this old monk to be so talkative, but he was holding the mushroom in one hand and telling this story to the bull-headed god with the other, which was really a little joyful.

The statue of the bull-headed god enshrined in the main hall is about three meters high, but Zhu Yu can see with the naked eye that the statue of the bull-headed human body is not a whole piece of wood withered, but spliced together.

Zhu Yu opened the eye of heaven and found something amazing.

But he only squinted his eyes and didn't speak.
