You Yi stayed at a homestay run by outsiders.

I didn't look for it on purpose, but I was tired of strolling around late at night, and when I wanted to rest, I looked up and saw the signboard.

Also, there is a vacant room.

This feeling of seeing exactly what you need is very precious, and you may not encounter it more than a few times in your life.

Therefore, I didn't care about the price and went straight to it.

Of course, in this ancient capital, where prices, housing prices, and transportation expenses are much more expensive than other cities, the price of a night in this homestay is actually quite authentic.

This two-story guesthouse of more than 60 square meters was remodeled on the basis of a 100-year-old traditional Kyoto machihouse.

The wooden structure, bay windows, and small courtyard of the original guesthouse are retained, and on this basis, the modern Japanese decoration style is cleverly integrated.

Yuichi chose a tatami bedroom on the second floor, which is less than four square meters, and above the tatami mats that occupy more than one stack is a window overlooking the windy alley of Kyoto outside.

I put my backpack on the glazed floor, shook off the clogs provided by the store, and looked out of the window at the somewhat cold alley.

Diagonally across from the store is the sento, the Taisho period architectural style, the Kara-Po roof, and the Yukimi lantern in the garden, but unfortunately there is no snow, if there is one, it must have a unique style.

The girl's laughter came, and You Yi followed the sound and looked over and found that it was two kimono girls who were in a pair, holding a wooden basin with toiletries in their arms, talking and laughing all the way.

With the alleys paved with some narrow and retro stone roads, the Beijing flavor is not too strong.

It's just that this Kyoto is not the capital of Kyoto, but the north of BJ.

That's right, although the two young ladies are wearing kimonos, they speak Chinese, and they have a very authentic BJ accent.

"Little sister, how much does that bathhouse charge for adults?"

You Yi shouted quietly in fluent Mandarin.

Hearing the sound, the two young ladies were stunned, and when they stopped, they looked up and found that it was a handsome young man of sixteen or seventeen.

……

"I don't have a single accent in Mandarin, but I'm a neon person?"

In the living room on the first floor of the B&B, the young lady with a white complexion looked incredible, and the woman who had just finished making the money soup couldn't stop drilling into You Yi's nose.

"Is there a possibility, I was actually a Celestial Empire in my last life, but I was cast into neon in this life."

"You really haven't been to the Celestial Empire?" Another young lady asked.

"Anyway, I've never been there in my life, and you may not believe it, my Mandarin is more fluent than neon."

"Then you may have been reincarnated in the wrong child."

It's ten o'clock, and the three of them are sitting in the Zen-like living room on the first floor of the B&B, chatting while drinking tea.

During the chat, You Yi learned that the two young ladies came to play neon together.

There was a warm invitation to You Yi to play with him tomorrow, but because he was still burdened with a difficult mission, You Yi declined.

Before parting, several people left each other's contact information, and made an appointment that if they went to Kamakura, they would definitely find You Yi as a tour guide.

……

Early in the morning of December 30th.

When You Yi, who checked out, walked out of the door of the B&B, the glimmer of the early morning sun just happened to be sprinkled on the stone path.

The hostess of the guesthouse, just like the locals in Kyoto, is slowly sweeping the front of the guesthouse.

The unspoken rule of the people of Kyoto is that as long as it doesn't rain, they clean their doors every day. In addition, in addition to the front of your own house, the three-foot area adjacent to your neighbors should also be cleaned.

If you only sweep the front of your house and ignore the neighbors, you will be praised by the neighbors with a smile: Ah~ The front of your door is really clean~

What does it really mean: just mind yourself and your neighbors? Is there such a person in Kyoto? Oh, it's no wonder that it's not from Kyoto but from other places. What? People from Osaka? scold

It's like this, it's okay to say that it's yin and yang, and when you scare people, it's the kind that beats around the bush and teases people without dirty words.

However, there is also a sense of distance between people, because the special character of the people of Kyoto is very well maintained.

……

Hop on bus No. 17 to Ohara, next to the beautiful Yajiang River, and the rest will be a long wait.

Ohara, located in the northeast corner of Kyoto, is simply an idyllic rural area of Kyoto.

The bus has been out of the city for a long time, but the Kamogawa River still winds its way outside the window.

You Yi didn't expect Yajiang to be so long, just like the letters and family affection that the mother and daughter have never broken for nearly 20 years.

The grandmother of the original owner is definitely not from Kyoto! You Yida believed it in his heart.

The urban elements outside the window disappear completely with the drive, replaced by an increasingly rich rural mountain wilderness and the whiteness of the snow.

When the bus was completely wrapped in snow-covered mountain forests, the radio suddenly said: Ohara Station, arrived.

……

Ohara is really small, and there is no neon station or shopping street configuration, and only a few shops can be seen on the way from the station to Sanzen-in.

You Yi bought a bag of perilla salt at a shop that I heard was a specialty and tourists would buy, and took the opportunity to ask the boss for directions with a map.

Once I had the exact location, I took the map and set out on my way.

Along the way, it is full of quiet and leisurely rural scenery, with mountains and snow, and the scenery is not inferior to that of Mt. Fuji.

It's just that the road is getting narrower and narrower, and the more remote it is.

Next to the frozen river, I also saw a legendary Oha Plain girl squatting on the ground picking up dead branches.

After walking for about an hour and a half, that is, at ten o'clock, I finally found the wooden sign that said Zuo Wuyuan's house, some years.

You Yi took two steps back and looked carefully, the front of the door was swept very clean, the glazed door was closed, and the threshold was very high.

This Japanese-style mansion covers an area of more than half an acre, with a backdrop of a mountain forest and an old wall that is more than three meters high.

"I didn't expect the original owner's mother to be a big lady." You Yi muttered softly, then took a deep breath and pressed the doorbell.

The intercom phone was quickly connected, and it was a man's voice.

"Hello, who are you looking for?"

"Mr. Isaburo of Samuin and Ms. Keiko of Samuin."

"What do you call it?"

"Nando Yuichi, his mother's name before marriage was Sabu Yuan Yui."

After that, the intercom phone was hung up.

It took half an hour for the door to open.

"Zuoyuan Martial Teacher is in the dojo now."

The person who opened the door was a man about thirty years old wearing a black and white kendo uniform, and after making a gesture of please, he turned around to himself: "I'll take you over." ”

"That's... Can I meet Ms. Keiko first? ”

The man was silent for a moment and then said, "My wife died of illness four months ago. ”
