Chapter 236 Mini Kingdom
"You are from Tokyo, you have this feeling in your body." Nanase said.

"Yeah." Akemi Akimiya nodded.

"Tokyo is so nice." Nanase sighed, "I want to stay in Tokyo, but unfortunately I can't find a job, I can't live anymore, so I can only go back to the countryside."

She said that she only had 980 yen left before she left Tokyo, and she also talked about her experience, "The side of the bread is really not good, it is dry, but it is just right with mayonnaise."

Although it is an experience that the Higashino couple can't use.

Nanase walked on tiptoe, and she was leading the way briskly with her hands behind her back. Higashino thought about it and said, "It seems that Miss Nanase is more suitable for life in the country."

"Maybe." Nanase turned her head and licked her cheeks.

With her leading the way, they soon arrived at Anji's hotel.

"hello!"

Nanase pushed open the door and invited Higashino and Hibiki to walk in.

This is a very ordinary wooden house hotel, nothing worth caring about.

Although the house looks a little old, the owner's house is well maintained, there is no decaying smell, and it is clean enough.

"I told you, get out of my place quickly!"

As soon as they entered the hall, Higashino and Akemi Akimiya heard the ferocious voice of a middle-aged woman.

"Huh?" The two looked at each other and asked, "What's the matter?"

The proprietress noticed the two of them, and bowed and apologized embarrassedly, "Sorry, I'm talking about these people from the Tourism Association. I welcome you to stay here."

It was only then that Higashino noticed that there were two people sitting beside the hotel lobby, the leader was a thin old man with his eyes closed, looking fierce.

Beside him was a girl with big breasts, her long hair was pulled back, and she had an apologetic expression.

"It doesn't matter if it's a misunderstanding." Akemi Akimiya waved her hand.

She checked in with the proprietress.

The old man opened his eyes, his mouth was crooked, looked at Higashino Hibiki, and then walked to Higashino Hibiki.

"Let me tell you, this guest from afar, can we have a chat?"

Higashino Hibiki thought his attitude was bad, but unexpectedly he was quite friendly.

"Of course." Higashino nodded.

"My name is Kadoda Hiroshi, and I am the president of the Tourism Association. Welcome to Jianyeshan."

The big-breasted girl with the temperament of a wife also introduced herself, "My name is Shinomiya Shiori, and I work in the Tourism Association. Hello."

"I'm Higashino," Higashino pointed at Akemi Akimiya, "That's my wife, Higashino Akemi."

Akemi Akimiya turned her head, smiled and waved hello.

Kadoda Hiroshi nodded at Akimiya Akemi, and then guided Higashi Hibiki to sit down on the tatami.

He said, "I'll just say it if I have something to say."

"Please," Higashino nodded, Shinomiya Shiori handed over two cups of tea, Higashino raised his head and took it with both hands, "Thank you."

"You're welcome, guest." Shiori held the plate and walked behind Kadoda Hiroshi and stood quietly.

"Cough," Toda Hiroshi moved his mouth, trying to put on a friendly expression, "Excuse me, how did Brother Dongye know about Jianyeshan?"

Higashino replied: "After getting married, Jianye Mountain was introduced by my mother. I heard that it is very suitable for short-term travel."

"That's it." President Kadoda sighed, "It really is."

Seeing Higashino Hibiki's puzzled look, Shinomiya Shiori explained the situation softly.

There are fewer and fewer tourists in Jianyeshan. The once tourist town has now become a conspicuous presence of strange faces.

The value of the tourism association is on the verge of disappearing.

"The tourists who come every time are middle-aged people, and the young people also know it from their parents." Shizhi said worriedly: "Our Jianye Mountain has declined."

Dong Ye understood, he took a sip of tea and breathed a sigh of relief.

"Mom is really unreliable."

How could she, a housewife who stayed at home all day, know a good place?
However, there will be a lot of people in popular tourist spots, and in remote areas, you can be quiet and let the troubles of Tokyo evacuate.

"Well, Mr. Higashino," Shiori said cautiously, "May I ask if you have any suggestions for our Jianyeshan... or are you dissatisfied?"

President Kadoda followed closely and said, "That's right, you're welcome, feel free to say it."

"I'm sorry, it can't be done." Under the surprised gazes of the two, Higashino explained, "Because I haven't visited Jianye Mountain yet."

Shiori blushed, "...I'm really sorry, I forgot."

"That's how it is." The old man has a thick skin, and President Kadoda said calmly without any embarrassment: "Today, oh no, there will be a drama performance in the Yewang Palace at noon tomorrow, please come and see it."

Considering that Dong Ye and his wife were exhausted from traveling and traveling, he considerately set aside a rest time.

Higashino raised his eyebrows, "The palace?"

"This is to attract tourists." Shiori bent down and explained, her chest was shaking heavily, "the establishment of a "mini independent kingdom" is a unique place. Because of the setting of the kingdom, there were many tourists in Jianyeshan in the 80s. . "

She carries memories.

Higashino Hibiki was surprised, "Is it okay to say it directly?"

“No tourist cares about that anymore,” Shiori said.

President Kadoda snorted dissatisfiedly, but did not object.

"It sounds interesting to me," Higashino nodded, "We must be there on time."

"Thank you very much," President Kadoda bowed, and he pointed behind Higashino Hibiki in deep thought, "Daughter of the Nanase family, you will be the tour guide for the guests these few days, and introduce the scenery and history of Mt.

Higashino turned his head sharply, only to find that Nanase Yui was still there, sitting prettyly behind him.

"Me?" Nanase pointed at herself, opening her mouth in embarrassment, "Why me?"

"You usually only do housework at home, and you have plenty of time, so it's up to you," President Kadoda said in an unquestionably strong tone.

Nanase shook her head, "I don't want it."

Chairman Kadoda continued: "I will give you 5000 yen a day as a salary."

"I'll take it!" Nanase patted the platform's chest and promised.

"Pfft~" Shiori couldn't help laughing.

"Because I'm really poor," Nanase explained embarrassingly, "I can hardly afford jump."

Higashino recalled Nanase who wanted to return the Kaifeng jump.

Higashino declined, "Let me pay the money."

"How can I let you out," said President Kadoda, "It's my kindness to bother you for so long."

Higashino can only accept: "Thank you very much."

"Well," President Kadoda sat up, "Brother Dongye, then I will take my leave."

"Excuse me," Nanase raised her head, "Does today count as official work?"

President Kadoda glared at Nanase angrily, "Of course not!"

"Okay." Nanase languished.

……

Carrying the suitcases, Higashino and Akemi Akimiya came to the second floor of the hotel.

"Any kind of room is fine," said the proprietress, "Because it's not the peak tourist season, the rooms are vacant."

Higashino asked: "Manager, why don't you welcome Chairman Kadoda?"

"Why do you support something that doesn't work?" the proprietress said blankly.

Higashino Hibiki has a good understanding of the current situation of Jianye Mountain.

A declining tourist town with the characteristics of the times, the tourism association has worked hard for a long time but it has no effect.

It might be interesting to travel in such a place.

……

The Dongye couple lived in a room next to the corridor.

"It's so beautiful."

Outside the window, it is shaded by trees.

Under the sunlight, the room was green and cool, which was rare.

It is the end of September now, and it will be difficult to see the green shade after a while.

However, this is only a common scene in the countryside. Akemi Akimiya just stayed in Tokyo for a long time and did not feel the scenery of nature.

Higashino Hibiki didn't feel any emotion, he put down his suitcase and lay down on the tatami.

"Ah, so comfortable."

He hadn't enjoyed a moment of leisure for a long time.

In Tokyo, Higashino seemed to be wound up like clockwork, his heart was urgent, and he was turning all the time.

"Rest, take a rest," he forgot to recognize the bed, lying on the ground, mumbling to himself.

"Okay." Akemi Akimiya took out the blanket, went to Higashino Higashika to cover him, sat down with her legs together, brushed her hair, looked at him with pity, and said softly, "Good afternoon. "

"It was really hard work."

……

When Higashino woke up, it was already dusk.The sound of birds flying past the window woke him up.

"Ah, you're awake."

Akemi Akimiya, who was admiring the scenery at the window, turned her head and said with a smile.

Higashino rubbed his eyes, "I'm sorry."

"nothing."

It was time to have dinner, and the two of them walked downstairs, and Higashino told Akimiya Akemi about the situation of Yeshan while walking.

Not only was Akemi Akimiya not angry, but she was looking forward to it, "That's great, there must be many things worth recording."

After asking the proprietress, Higashino and Akemi Akimiya came to a small restaurant near the market.

This is Jianye Mountain, and the local specialties are of course delicacies in the mountains.

"You guys came at the right time. Songmo grows in September. Would you like some fried pork with Songmo? It tastes delicious!"

Of course Higashino accepted, and asked about the local cuisine.

"The fish here is also very delicious, would you like some of it? Brother."

"Please bring about two catties."

"okay."

Three and 10 minutes passed.The dishes were served one after another.

Higashino was very curious about the pine mill, so he took a bite and put it in his mouth, chewed it a bit, and the delicious juice burst out.

"The aroma is attractive, the meat is thick, delicious and smooth, and the flavor is excellent."

It is fresh and delicious, and it is a treasure that cannot be eaten in Tokyo.

"That's right," Akemi Akimiya closed her eyes to feel it. "It tastes like mushrooms, but also has the mellowness of meat. It's delicious."

The fish is also very good, there is no earthy taste, and there is a sweetness after steaming.

The two enjoyed their meal.

My impression of Manoyama improved.

Sure enough, delicious food can bring Higashihiro the most intuitive enjoyment.

Stepping into the setting sun, Higashino stroked his belly, "This dinner will definitely be more delicious if Miss Akimiya handles it."

Akemi Akimiya said with a smile: "Then bring some ingredients when you go home."

Higashino enjoyed this period of time very much, and the two took a leisurely walk together, which had not been for a long time.

He suddenly didn't want to draw manga and enjoy how good life is.

"No," Higashino shook his head loudly. When he thought of comics, his mind was full of the battle of the king of the mountain, and he couldn't feel the leisurely atmosphere in an instant.

"What's wrong? You look like you want to vomit. Is there something wrong with the mushroom?" Akemi Akimiya rubbed her stomach.

"It's okay, I thought of manga," Higashino waved his hand.

When he saw the light, he felt the cruelty of the darkness more and more.

It's really not human to serialize in a weekly manga magazine.

Akemi Akimiya said: "For a while, let's forget about manga."

"That's right, I don't know anything about comics."

……

Tokyo.

"No! No! No!"

Someone roared angrily!

"Not only "Hunter x Hunter", even "Slam Dunk" has been suspended!"

"Damn it! Coach Anxi arranged tactics, with Sakuragi Flower Road as the core of the attack, I still want to see Sakuragi show his power!"

"Why is it closed here!"

Countless people bought jump with anticipation, but closed it disappointed.

This is what I've been looking forward to for a whole week.

It is painful enough for web readers to see the author take a day off.

"I'm going to die if I don't see the latest episode of "Slam Dunk"."

The resentment that is enough to revive the evil king, the dark shadow mage, is growing.

Higashino smiled freely at this time, "Why don't we suspend the publication again, haha."

As soon as he finished speaking, Nanase ran over. The appearance of this reader made Higashino's conscience uneasy.

Nanase's forehead was covered with sweat, "Do you want to take a hot spring?"

Akemi Akimiya asked excitedly, "Is there a hot spring in Jianye Mountain?"

Nanase gave a thumbs up, "Of course, this is my advance service!"

She led the Dongye couple from the main road to the small road, from the plains to the mountains.

Half an hour later, in the deep mountains of Jianye Mountain, I came to a flat land with countless mountain flowers blooming, which was too beautiful to behold.

When I walked into the flowers, fireflies flew out, shining light in the dark.

Akemi Akimiya yelled, "Ah, Firefly, I haven't seen it for a long time!"

She rushed over.

There are no fireflies in Tokyo.For urban children, fireflies can already be said to be urban legends.

It is difficult for them to understand that at night, there are only moonlight and starlight, and countless green light spots are flying, dreamlike and extraordinarily romantic.

"Are there fireflies at the end of September?" Higashino was puzzled.

"Because there is a hot spring." Nanase said.

The hot spring is not far away, and a small room is built next to it.

"This is the secret base of my friends and I when I was young, but now only Shiori and I are here."

Nanase said, opened the door and invited the two of them in.

"Excuse me." Akemi Akimiya said excitedly.

Tonight she was extremely excited and saw a different scenery.

It's like taking an adventure, very exciting.

"There's nothing inside." Nanase said, "It's like the secret base in Mr. Akino Bird's "Unheard Flower Names". It's very simple."

"It's okay." Akemi Qiugong's eyes lit up, "I've never seen the secret base!"

Nanase said, "You're really a young lady."

Inside it was exactly as Nanase said, only tables, chairs and benches, a single bed, and a pile of sundries on the table.

It still has electricity, lights, a monitor and dvd player.

Next to it is a CD with "Unheard Flower Name".
