Give weak women a heart of steel

Chapter 274 Shui En Sanatorium

The gray-white cement road is like a curved tree branch, and the various buildings in Dusui Village are the fruits of this road.

Xia Tingfei looked around, taking stock of the surrounding environment and keeping it in mind.

Although I don’t know what the purpose is, it is always good to do so.

"However, it does seem that there are many gold shops."

At first glance, these gold shops cannot tell what they look like.

They don't have much signage, and the store is not a modern cement masonry building, but an ancient wooden building. There are also colorful bamboo curtains hanging down in front of the door, making it unclear what is going on inside.

It dawned on me when I noticed the customers happily walking out of the store, playing with gold jewelry.

Oh, it turns out there is a gold shop here.

From the looks of it, these guests seemed to have come to Dusuicun from far away.

Moreover, it was just to buy the gold from Dusui Village.

Xia Tingfei didn't know much about the gold in Dusui Village.

In other words, he didn't know much about any gold.

I don't understand at all, apart from the difference in purity, there are other differences between golds.

However, the faces of those customers looked like they had earned something.

"I'm very sorry to bother you."

A false gentle smile appeared on Xia Tingfei's face, just like he did at the beginning.

Use your identity as a student to get close to the two guests.

"Huh? What's the matter?"

The slightly older female guest asked doubtfully, while an equally older male guest stood next to her.

They look like a couple.

"I am actually a student in Qingchuan. Because of the school, I am here for a study trip."

Xia Tingfei smiled, making people feel kind easily.

The female guest also felt a little more at ease: "We did this kind of thing during a school trip."

The female guest turned around and said to the male guest, who also had a look of memories on his face.

Pretending to be listening, Xia Tingfei showed no signs of impatience.

"Ah, I'm so sorry." The female guest came back to her senses and apologized slightly to Xia Tingfei, who was standing next to him, "Can I help you with anything?"

"Actually, because of the school, I want to know something about the gold in Tosuo Village. The gold here seems to be very popular."

He said: "They are all gold, is there any difference other than purity?"

"Brother, there's a big difference here." The male guest said, "The gold in Dusui Village is more expensive than ordinary gold."

"It's true." The female guest rolled her eyes at her husband, and then explained seriously to Xia Tingfei: "The gold in Dusui Village will have a gentle feeling to the touch, just like the human body."

"Wearing gold from Tosuui Village, you won't feel heavy and will feel very comfortable."

"So, what is the difference?"

Xia Tingfei thought that there would be something more accurate and special, but he didn't expect that the biggest characteristic of Jin Jin from Dusui Village was gentleness.

"Thank you very much, please."

After thanking him, Xia Tingfei continued walking along the road.

We walked and stopped along the way, and finally arrived at Inagaki's house in the evening.

This is truly a family restaurant, with a variety of menus hanging on the wall.

The boss is busy in the back kitchen, and the wife of the boss is wearing a white apron and a white headscarf.

There was a child sitting at the dining table in the corner writing his homework.

"Wait a while and come over to eat."

Xia Tingfei thought so and walked along the road again.

It took a little time to find the trail covered by grass and shrubs.

When you step on it, it will make a clicking sound, and various insects will chirp incessantly.

A green grasshopper squatted on the grass blades, slightly in a daze.Brown crickets are jumping around on the ground next to the grass roots.

There are also some tiny bugs that people can’t tell what they are.

The further you go in, the more desolate it becomes.

Xia Tingfei was heading away from the road to Dusui Village and towards the mountains and forests.

About a few hundred meters away, Xia Tingfei finally saw a room.

An old-fashioned wooden house with several vegetable fields outside.

It's just that these vegetable fields are growing some kind of flowers.

Unfortunately, these flowers are already dead.

All that was left were short, dry and toppled wooden piles.

"It looks like there's no one."

The door here is an old-fashioned sliding door with absolutely no anti-theft value.

Even if an old woman on crutches comes, she can easily push it open and move away anything she can.

The decoration inside the house really doesn’t have much value in elaborating.

The first impression is ordinary, ordinary wooden tables and chairs.

Dusty wooden floors.

There were spider webs everywhere and newspapers scattered on the ground.

It's just that there are too many newspapers, piles of them piled on the floor like snowflakes.

Xia Tingfei took a look at the dates in the newspapers. Most of them were consecutive.

It seems like the people who lived here enjoyed reading newspapers.

There is only one floor in the entire house, making it easy to search.

The kitchen was completely dirty and unsightly. Gray-white mycelium accumulated in the sink, and the glass was already rotten.

One of the most valuable is a girl's room.

Alternatively, it can be used as a study room.

There are a large number of bookshelves piled up in the not-so-narrow space, with some old books still remaining on them.

It covers a wide range of fields, including some serious philosophy books and various children's fairy tale books that have nothing to do with them.

You can also find magazines and other things that girls like to read.

Xia Tingfei looked through some magazines, including some large-scale underwear models.

However, it looks like they are all about underwear.

Throwing it aside, he held a photo frame placed on the table.

Inside is Aoi Tsukumura.

But this girl is completely different from the girl in Xia Tingfei's hands.

"It's not that the appearance is different, but the expression is different."

"In the photo her sister gave me, Aoi Tsukimura is a girl with a bright smile, like a real sunflower."

"But in this photo frame, Tsukimura Aoi is not smiling. She is expressionless, staring at the camera with transparent eyes, her hands are folded in front of her, and there is an orange wristband on her right wrist. But this wristband is really It doesn't look like a decoration, it gives off a cheap feeling. If the whole photo wasn't in color, then this thing would be more like a posthumous photo."

Open the photo frame and pull out the photos inside.

I originally wanted to put it away, but behind the photo there were small words like "Juanxiu".

——Shui En Sanatorium, March 11.

"Suien Sanatorium?"

I took out my leaflet and took a look at it. This word did not appear on it.Come to think of it, it's natural.

There are areas where sanatoriums are regarded as tourist attractions.

"So, that woman's real commission is to take her sister out of this nursing home?"

Xia Tingfei speculated: "It's just that for various reasons, you can't tell me directly. Is this the only way to ask for my help?"

He searched here carefully and found nothing.

Although there are many books left, other things have been dealt with cleanly.

Xia Tingfei clicked his tongue and turned the place upside down without giving up.

But apart from a small bag with a sealed mouth, nothing else was found.

"This is probably what girls use when playing games."

Xia Tingfei knew this kind of thing.

Girls play a game called pebbles, using tiles ground into small squares.

Usually there is a piece on the ground and a piece in the hand.

When playing, you need to throw the stones in your hand into the air, then grab the stones on the ground, and catch the falling stones.

The number of stones placed on the ground usually increases gradually.

One at first, then gradually increased to the point of five or six.

He squeezed the small bag in his hand and saw what was filled in it.

Usually it's wheat, but this one is filled with some kind of long-grained plant seeds.

They also put it in their pockets together, and Xia Tingfei left.

Of course, I locked the door properly before leaving.

By this time, it was already dark.

Xia Tingfei could only take out his mobile phone and turn on the flashlight to shine on the road while replying to emails.

The teacher sent out one or two, Naoko Ueno sent out one, and Umi Tide Algae sent out 32.

The entire mailbox is filled to the brim.

When I opened it, I saw people asking for my location in various ways.

"Eating at Inagaki's house."

Xia Tingfei replied this news to Hai Chao Zao Xie.

But the phone buzzed immediately.

——Hai Chao Algae has already replied to the message.

But after clicking on it, it loads very slowly.

After waiting for a while, Xia Tingfei saw a picture of sea tide algae hair.

It's the inside of the Inagaki family.

There is also a sentence: "I am at Inagaki's house."

Although it was only one sentence, it gave Xia Tingfei a headache.

When we arrived at Inagaki's house, we could see seaweed flakes through the glass, with his palms resting on his chin, looking unhappy.

"yo"

Xia Tingfei walked in and greeted him casually.

The girl stared at him with a speechless expression, putting pressure on Xia Tingfei.

However, Xia Tingfei just pretended not to see it.

Instead, he asked relaxedly: "Xicui Village, don't you provide dinner?"

"Well."

Hai Chao Zai Zai stared at Xia Tingfei, but under Xia Tingfei's calmness, he could only lower his head helplessly.

A look of being defeated.

"It's not time to serve dinner yet," she said.

Xia Tingfei nodded and looked at the menu on the wall: "In the evening, there seems to be some barbecue provided here. Do you want it? We can take it back to eat."

The girl knocked on the table with a soda bottle in dissatisfaction: "Minister, don't you want to explain the problem of suddenly not being able to find someone?"

"It's just some small things." Xia Tingfei said lightly: "I just went to the mountain to worship the gods, but the priest is really greedy for money. If you invest [-] yen, he will tell you a lot If you just come to visit and don’t buy anything, then he will look very unhappy and indifferent.”

"If it's really useful, just [-] yen is nothing." Hai Tide Algae said.

Xia Tingfei had no choice but to order some roasted birds to take away, and opened a bottle of marble soda to drink.

Look at the minister who looks like this.

Hai Tide Zaochi was very helpless, so she had to say: "Teacher Yukino Teru is very angry. If you go back, you will definitely be criticized."

"Then let's bring her some roasted birds." Xia Tingfei said: "She looks like she would drink some beer at night. This roasted bird is just for her as a snack. Wait for her to drink After I fainted, I just had no time to take care of me.”

"What a good idea." Hai Chao Zao Xian couldn't help but smile: "But if she wants to criticize you before she gets drunk, what will you do?"

"That's just pretending not to hear." Xia Tingfei said matter-of-factly.

The two of them talked about various things, and after the roasted bird was ready, they went to Inagaki's house.

The roasted bird here is much better than that in Qingchuan, maybe because of the villages and towns.

The cuts of meat are significantly larger and more affordable.

In the izakaya in Qingchuan, they wanted to stick to the thin bamboo sticks with only the chicken skin.

Carrying bags, the two of them strolled through the streets at night.

The wind in the mountain was particularly cold, and the blue hair strands of sea tide algae were blown around like water waves.

The moonlight sprinkled crystal clear flakes on it.

As I walked along the sea tide stream, the heels of my leather shoes made a sound on the cement road.

The cold wind made the girl come closer involuntarily.

"Go back quickly, Xicui Village still has hot springs."

As Xia Tingfei said, he quickened his pace.

Hai Chao Zao Zuan puffed out his face in dissatisfaction, suspecting that Xia Tingfei did it on purpose.

But there was nothing he could do. He could only mutter dissatisfiedly: "Don't be so vigilant."

"what happened?"

Xia Tingfei didn't seem to hear.

"Nothing at all!"

Hai Chao Zao Zuo said dissatisfiedly, sighed helplessly, and followed Xia Tingfei closely.

When returning to Xicui Village, Xia Tingfei happened to meet the maid of Xicui Village.

The waitress looked at the burned bird in Xia Tingfei's hand with some confusion.

"I'm serving food and drinks to the teacher." Xia Tingfei explained briefly.

The waitress patted her chest with relief and said, "It turns out it's for Sister Zhao. I thought you didn't like the food at Xicui Village."

"We haven't eaten yet." Xia Tingfei said this. The waitress immediately looked embarrassed and told Xia Tingfei to go eat quickly.

"We have prepared a sumptuous meal today."

The waitress gave a little hint.

Xia Tingfei smiled helplessly: "Thank you very much for what happened in the morning."

The waitress looked like she suddenly understood. She said: "It's still a matter of responsibility. If you need it, you can still ask the landlady. She has lived here since she was very young and is very familiar with this place. familiar."
