There are few pedestrians on the way to the shrine.


    When he passed the convenience store, he ma found that there was no one inside - there was an open sign at the door.


    So he muttered to Ma, "is this convenience store a chain? Won''t no one at the front desk be found and deducted by the head office?"


    "The mountain is high and the emperor is far away." Yuzao said, "maybe people are replenishing the shelves..."


    "No, it''s talking in the snack shop opposite." Someone interrupted yuzao.


    When he went with Ma Xun, he saw an uncle in a convenience store uniform and a waiter in a snack shop uniform standing next to him.


    In Tokyo, the waitresses in snack shops are usually young girls of about 20, and most of the uniforms are lovely dress designs. The uniform design here is in the same vein as that in Tokyo, except that it is worn by an aunt in her late 40s.


    After looking at him, the uncle said, "you two come so early. It''s usually about a week before the peak season starts."


    The waitress smiled and said, "maybe it''s because it''s very hot this year. I read on the news that it has something to do with that."


    "El Nino, El Nino."


    "Yes, yes, that''s it," aunt nodded repeatedly. "TV said it was the phenomenon of sea water getting hot. I guess the sea is too hot to go down to the sea, so people on the beach can only come to the mountains to enjoy the cool. "


    And Ma wanted to make complaints about it, and the uncle first said, "how can the sea water be hot enough to get out of the sea? Are you kidding me? It''s not "sinking Japan."


    "There is no sea water in Japan. It''s too hot to go to the sea." And Ma seized the opportunity to interrupt, "if the sea water is as hot as that, these heat will be released, the world will become a sauna, and mankind will be extinct."


    "Will mankind become extinct?" Aunt was surprised.


    The convenience store uncle waved his hand: "no, no, by the way, are you going to the convenience store to buy things?"


    He ma shook his head and then pointed to the bird house at the foot of the Shrine: "we''ll go to the shrine and have a look. It''s said that the Dieda ointment sold there has a good effect."


    "The effect is very good. It is said that it is made of river boy''s scalp, which is particularly cool." Uncle said.


    And the horse looked at yuzao.


    Yuzao: "he Tong''s scalp doesn''t treat bruises."


    ——Wait a minute!


    At the same time as the desire for MaoMu was full, make complaints about the convenience store uncle: "what an interesting little girl, you are not a good university meeting, are you?" Look at your age, dress up... Well, there''s no doubt that you''re from Tokyo.


    "Last year, a group of college students from Tokyo came here. They were looking for a hammer snake. There was a little girl who knew all kinds of monsters very well. She was simply a ''monster doctor''."


    The mallet snake is a legendary creature in Japan, also known as the Earth Dragon. There were so-called eyewitness reports many times after the war, but there was no evidence. The Japanese folk search for the mallet snake has not stopped, which is a bit like the Loch Ness monster.


    In addition, Japan likes to call people who know more Dr. XX. The doctor here is not a degree, but simply takes the literal meaning of the text: a man of erudition.


    He Ma: "we are also college students from Tokyo."


    "You''re looking for the hammer snake, too?" The convenience store uncle frowned, "last year, those college students were careless when climbing the mountain. Two people fell off the cliff, one dead and one injured. The injured one seems to have become a vegetable. Be careful. Mountains are not like cities. A little injury in the mountains may die because of untimely treatment. "


    He looked at Ma and yuzao.


    "Can you elaborate?" As a future policeman, and Ma began to ask for details.


    "I don''t know. I worked in a convenience store and didn''t participate in the search and rescue. Anyway, there was no one to carry down the mountain, and one could not move like a wood. The little girl of the monster doctor was crying. "


    And the horse raised their eyebrows.


    The aunt of the snack shop gave full play to her inherent skills of "gossip" and added a wave of information to he Ma: "this matter has been suppressed by those people of the Tourism Promotion Association. It is said that she has given a lot of compensation to those college students."


    The convenience store uncle frowned: "people are also for everyone''s good. If it is spread, I''m afraid no one will come to our hot spring in a few years. Without tourism income, relying only on the income from the crops planted, we have to go back to the bitter days of the past. "


    Aunt curled her mouth and stopped talking.


    He Ma: "before the tourism development, did it have a hard time here?"


    "Look what you said. It''s really the young master in the city. Don''t the farmers always suffer?" The convenience store uncle laughed at himself.


    He Ma: "the price of agricultural products in the city is so high, I thought..."


    "Shit, in order to maintain that high price, the farmers'' Association prohibits us from producing too much. Whoever has a variety of products will not buy his products or help him purchase seeds and agricultural machinery..."


    The convenience store uncle sighed: "we''re too far from Tokyo, otherwise we can try to drive to Tokyo and get rid of the farmers'' Association completely. Although the selling price is low, you can sell as much as you have, and you can make more money even with gasoline. "


    "Oh" with Ma, he suddenly remembered the pumpkin he and Qingliu threw when they ran away.


    According to the uncle, is it a good thing that Qingliu Baifeng will help farmers sell melons in the city?


    No wonder the melon farmer was so respectful to Qingliu.


    He ma wanted to ask about the mountain climbing accident last year, but the uncle of the convenience store stood up and patted his ass: "well, I should go back to work, too. I saw grandma Noda walking this way. If you want to go to the shrine, hurry up. Bozi will leave in advance from time to time because he has to take care of his sick grandmother. "


    Uncle said as he walked to the convenience store.


    And Ma saw an old lady walking this way in a wheelchair with a shopping basket on it - she should use the wheelchair as a cart and crutch.


    This is probably grandma Noda.


    The old lady saw the uncle open the door of the convenience store and said with a smile, "Yamada, you''re lazy again."


    He ma just wanted to say that Japan is really full of Yamada, so he listened to the uncle''s helpless sigh: "just say I''m not Yamada... Alas, grandma Noda, you''re still the same, aren''t you?"


    "Yes, I''ve been bothering you all the time." Grandma pushed the wheelchair to the convenience store, pulled the handbrake, and then pressed most of her weight on the wheelchair.


    The convenience store uncle, who was not surnamed Yamada, picked up the shopping basket in his wheelchair and went into the store.


    Grandma Noda turned her head and looked at HEMA and yuzao and said with a smile, "Yo, whose young man is this?"


    As soon as he opened his mouth with Ma, the aunt of the snack shop replied, "they are not young people in the town, they are college students from Tokyo."


    "Ah? student? Today''s students grow so fast, so tall, and this girl, tut. " The old lady said nothing.


    And Ma also looked at yuzao. Her profile really made people can''t help but "tut".


    "Did you come back for the summer vacation?" Grandma Noda continued to nag, "we can catch the big Unicorn fairy that doesn''t exist in Tokyo."


    It seems that the old lady has been completely confused and regarded Ma and them as primary school students returning home for the summer vacation.


    This situation is quite common in Japan.


    At first, it was just the early stage of economic take-off. In order to reduce the burden during the summer vacation, urban families sent their children back to their grandparents in the countryside.


    Later, Japanese scholars made up a justification for this behavior: let children get close to nature and receive nature education.


    Later, this became an educational standard. Primary schools in Japan began to arrange various summer topics during the summer vacation, allowing students to observe and record their own flowers and plants, or keep a diary of their insects, as part of their summer homework.


    This kind of thing has gradually become the "yeqinghui" of the Japanese, which directly gave birth to the series of games "my summer vacation", and also affected games such as "ranch story" and "fairy treasure dream".


    However, he ma glanced at yuzao again. Just how confused she had to be to treat her as a primary school student.


    At this time, the convenience store uncle took out a basket full of things and put it on the wheelchair: "OK. See you next week. "


    Grandma Noda took out a pile of zero and whole banknotes and handed them to the convenience store uncle: "thank you, Yamada."


    About to speak, but saying nothing, he finally chose not to make complaints about the old lady.


    The old lady loosened the handbrake of her wheelchair and pushed her wheelchair around the convenience store to make a U-turn. When she was about to leave, she suddenly remembered something and looked at her horse: "by the way, child, this is not Tokyo. It''s very dangerous at night. No matter how happy you are, when you hear the horn of the village office start to play that... That''s Da ~ Da ~ Da ~ "


    The old lady pieced together the melody with different pitches.


    "A new world." Tell the name of the song directly with the horse.


    "Yes, yes, that''s it. How clever the child is! " Grandma Noda nodded again and again, "when you hear this, you must go home. The bad children who don''t go home will be caught by the evil fox living in the mountains. Evil foxes like to eat children''s hearts and hearts. "


    Yuzao said with a smile, "OK, we know."


    "Especially the heart of a beautiful girl like you!" Grandma Noda looked at yuzao and told, "she likes it best!"


    "Don''t worry, and Ma Jun will protect me." Yuzao said and waved to the old lady, "we have to go to the shrine. If we don''t go again, the shrine will be closed."


    "Well, go to the shrine and worship. The Royal Society God will bless you." Grandma Noda waved, turned and pushed the wheelchair back slowly along the road when she came.


    And Ma Mu sent the old lady away, turned to yuzao and said, "let''s go to the shrine quickly. It seems that we can worship the Royal God of the shrine, or we will be eaten by the evil fox."


    Yuzao in the temple pouted and put on an awkward expression: "I won''t eat."


    "No? Should monsters often eat people? "


    "No, it''s not Tang Changlao. In fact, there is a paradox here. Don''t you find it? Generally, according to the setting, big demons can become human for a long time, and small monsters can''t maintain human form. That means it''s noble to change human form, so monsters will work hard in the direction of changing people, isn''t it?


    "In theory, monsters should not eat people. After all, no one - no monsters will try their best to become food."


    After thinking with the horse, it seems that there is such a truth.


    As human beings, Tong Sheng and Ma don''t want to look like pork sausage.


    It seems that monsters can''t expect to become their own rations.


    Yuzao began to change the topic: "the college students who came here last year don''t know which university they came from."


    And Ma: "come and look for the hammer snake, and then there is a girl called Dr. monster in the group. It feels like a good meeting related to ghosts or monsters. Can''t it be a good meeting in paleontology? "


    "If it''s a friendly meeting in the direction of paleontology, there shouldn''t be Dr. monster mixed in." Yuzao interface channel.


    And Ma: "maybe... It''s a new strange talk seminar in another school?"


    "Why? Should there be a second one for this strange research meeting?" Jade algae make complaints about the society that they are usurping.


    "But don''t you think what we are doing now is a bit like the beginning of a new strange talk?"


    After chatting with Marton, glancing at the empty street, he continued: "a small town far from the secular world, with strange folk customs and events, and the crazy grandma gave us something like a warning. Let''s live together."


    Yuzao picked her eyebrows: "it seems... It''s really."


    "And the cicada chirp is very suitable for setting off the atmosphere, isn''t it?" And the horse.


    Yuzao was about to reply, but suddenly stopped and looked up at the top.


    He Ma also stopped and looked curiously along her eyes, so he saw the big horn of the village office at the top of the electric pole in front.


    "Yes, there are Dvorak and the new world, which is also particularly suitable for exaggerating the atmosphere of terror." He looked back and said so.


    Yuzao: "no, I''m not looking at speakers."


    And Ma looked up at the horn again. This time, he finally noticed that the crow standing on the wire seemed to be one circle larger than the normal crow.


    The crow looked at the horse and was not afraid at all.


    Many crows in Tokyo are not afraid of people, but many people in Tokyo are used to crows.


    In addition, crows, like pigeons, theoretically act in groups. A single crow falls on a telegraph pole and stares at people like this, which always gives people the feeling that it is a demon or simply a monster.


    So he and the horse asked, "do you know?"


    "No. The crow dog I know was killed by a ghost. "


    He Ma was surprised: "wait, can crow Tiangou be killed by ghosts?"


    "Yes."


    "Should he be a powerful monster? What ghost can kill crow and dog? "


    "The ghost fighter of the air self defense force daidaimu flight force."


    Is that the ghost!!


    Yuzao''s face showed sadness: "his last words before his death were: ''the twin j79 turbojet engine is so fierce!''"


    That must be fierce!


    "I admit that human beings are stronger. Ah, I really want to try a flight at twice the speed of sound, Ga."


    HEMA: "wait a minute, what''s the matter with the last ''GA Oh''?"


    "Belch fart, try to use onomatopoeia to express the scene at that time." Yuzao said.


    Be serious! Dead man - dead demon Hello!


    Crow and Ma were going to make complaints about the ravens. The crows on the top of the pole were croak, and flapping wings flew up, and watched the two men''s eyes.


    Several black feathers fell slowly from the sky.


    And the horse caught a feather and handed it to yuzao: "can you see if this is an ordinary crow?"


    "I can''t see." Yuzao second replied, "I could see it before, but now I''m 18 even when I''m 17 forever. Now, even if I go to B-ultrasound and other examinations, it seems that I should be just an ordinary human. It''s becoming more and more difficult to distinguish between weird and weird. "


    And the horse pursed their mouths, took the feathers in their hands close to them and observed them carefully.


    It''s really no different from ordinary feathers.


    Yuzao''s hair, as long as she doesn''t return to her ears, is just the hair of a beautiful girl who has been carefully cared for.


    He Ma was about to put his feathers into his pocket, but yuzao stopped him: "don''t take this thing with you. Although divination is useless now, it''s no problem to find the location of your ''belongings''. I often divine where my glasses go. "


    And Ma looked at the glasses on the bridge of yuzao''s nose. In their mind, yuzao, who couldn''t find the glasses, had to do divination - well, it''s a little cute.


    Yuzao Liumei frowned: "what are you laughing at? It''s normal that you can''t find your glasses, especially when you''re wearing them."


    More, more lovely?


    Scratching his head with Ma, in order to maintain the image of yuzao in his mind, he decided to change the topic: "in this situation, would it be better for me to ask Ah Mao to send me a knife? Which knife is more suitable for cutting demons and demons? "


    "No need." Yuzao shook her head. "It''s enough to have a wooden knife if the strong man of mankind wants to cut the demon. It''s always the case. The weak should rely on famous knives such as Angang boy''s cutting. " He felt that yuzao had many stories hidden in her words. She was about to ask in detail, but she looked at her watch and urged, "it''s getting late. Go to the shrine and blow the air conditioner back to the hotel." He ma found that he was sweating, so he nodded and said, "OK, hurry up. I''m almost dehydrated. I hope the shrine has water to drink." The two men set foot again and walked towards the shrine. The crow that had just flown away flew back, landed on the top of the horn and quietly looked at their backs.
