Chiba Salted Fish Legend

Chapter 101 When did the power run out?

He completed his first visit to the Kinkakuji Temple in a time that was neither sufficient nor rushed. Although he really saw the beauty of the Kinkakuji Temple, Xia Zhi still felt disappointed that he could not come there in the summer. A little disappointed, maybe next time I have a chance I will come over and have a look. When I enter my senior year of high school, I will have nearly two months of summer vacation.

When we returned to the hotel, it was almost six o'clock in the afternoon, and the sky faintly showed the feeling of dusk, a color that goes well with autumn.

Dinner was eaten together in the lobby, and it felt like a banquet. Although the menu only had relatively simple dishes such as bamboo fish and fried eggs, or just simple and crude curry rice, etc., the taste was still very good. Not bad.The only pity was that Xia Zhi always felt that he had not seen a drop of sake, let alone drank it, which was indispensable in such a scene.It seemed that even the teachers didn't have any alcohol - but from the words of their discussion, it seemed that they were going to the convenience store to buy alcohol and have a cocktail party in the evening.

The food intake is a little less than usual, but I didn't work today, so I bought a lot of things on the way back, such as some small souvenirs, postcards, and of course, some snacks.It seemed that rice cakes were sold all year round in Kyoto. Natsuki also bought a few steamed buns, but Ryoko Yamamoto took two of them and split them with Reika Shiraishi.So I'm not very hungry yet, and I feel just right after eating this meal.

Natsuki specifically asked Teacher Shirai. Although students are not allowed to go out privately at night in principle, if they are only nearby, there will be no problem. After all, the study trip is to gain knowledge, and students cannot completely control their schedules. , besides, aren’t there still three days of free time later?On the other hand, students who are already high school students already have a certain ability to act alone, so there is actually no need to worry so much.

Although he was required to keep his mobile phone on at all times, it made no difference to Xia Zhi even if he didn't mention this condition - few modern people would turn off their mobile phones when they go out.Having made the following promise, Natsuki quietly left the hotel alone and walked into Kyoto at night.

Perhaps starting from Kyoto Station, it looks different from ordinary modern cities, but a little away from large-scale activity centers you can find something different, like the fog of London, the neon of Hong Kong, A unique charm walks in this city.

Unlike many other Japanese cities, Kyoto's modernization does not seem to be so "thorough". The occasional ancient buildings or antique-style buildings among the many buildings retain the ancient feeling. Like BJ The alleys and courtyards inside also retain a sense of history and culture.

The so-called scenic spots, in addition to the miraculous natural scenic spots, are the humanistic scenic spots brought by culture. Everything related to famous people, his residence, or footprints, or notes, and leftovers can all become A carrier of spiritual culture.Although the colors of natural scenery are more pleasing, the historical trajectory of human beings can also bring a strong enough shock to people.

Unlike the silence of Chiba, Kyoto is equally quiet at night, but the small shops scattered here and there are very charming. If you don't take good care of your wallet, you may overdraw your funds.That's the thing about shopping, you don't know how much you spent until you're done shopping.

After walking around for a while, Xia Zhi saw a vending machine placed under the street lamp. After thinking about it, Xia Zhi walked over.If you take a closer look, from the perspective of an ordinary Chinese international student, it is really expensive.Most of them are unknown drink brands. There are also one or two drinks that Natsuki drank in Chiba. The prices are between 130 yen and 150 yen. However, a can of 130 yen drinks only costs 130 yuan. It’s about ml. You have to know that [-] yen is almost seven and a half yuan. In China, you can get the same or more quantity for three yuan for the more popular products, such as Coke. Do you think this is expensive? Gotta explode?
But Xia Zhi also knew that this calculation was actually a bit unreasonable. However, facing such prices that he should have been used to, Xia Zhi sighed helplessly.He took out coins totaling 130 yen and put them in. He took out a can of drink that he didn't know the name of. He looked around at the deserted park, and Xia Zhi sat on the swing.

The swing specially designed for children is neither very high nor very wide. Xia Zhi sat on the board and stepped on the ground. His legs were bent. With a little force, Xia Zhi started to sway.This seemed to be his first swing on a swing in many years. Although it was just for his own entertainment, the swing was not very high. Every time he reached the lowest point, he would occasionally rub against the ground. He was very angry, but there was nothing he could do.

No matter what kind of place has an ancient atmosphere, autumn is always a suitable season to experience this kind of ancient culture that has been diluted and yet "haunted" scattered in the place like the air, and Kyoto is no exception.

We had just finished dinner and the night was still not deep. Occasionally, pedestrians walked by. Some were curious about Xia Zhi and took a few more glances. Some also paid no attention to him and walked towards their homes.Some people laughed out loud when they saw Xia Zhi, a big man like him, swinging by himself. Xia Zhi gradually stopped his childish movements and just sat on the swing.

Autumn is still autumn, even in the alternation between summer and autumn, the slightest chill comes and it is quite cool.

I don't know since when, darkness and silence can make Xia Zhi relax, but this is not autism, it's just that he feels more relaxed when he is alone.There are many people like this, right?Can't relax when there are people besides yourself?Quite normal.Not everyone likes to live in groups. In the long history, there are many famous people who lived alone in the mountains and forests. It is nothing surprising.

Xia Zhi stared at the dim sky in a daze. For some reason, a "meow" sound suddenly came from beside him.Xia Zhi came back to his senses and looked down. A cute looking brown and yellow kitten was spinning around Xia Zhi's legs, and he was having fun.Xia Zhi was very interested in this seemingly unafraid kitten. Xia Zhi tried to catch it, but the kitten ran into the ring made by Xia Zhi's hands and caught it immediately. stand up.

After being caught in Xia Zhi's hand, the kitten stopped making any fuss and looked at Xia Zhi quietly.Feeling interesting, Xia Zhi put the kitten on his lap. He protected it with one hand so that it could not fall from his lap. The other hand unconsciously picked up the cat. The kitten lay on Xia Zhi's lap obediently. There was no resistance on his legs, and he would occasionally make comfortable sounds.

Ah... I feel like all the fatigue in my soul has dissipated, and my whole person has been healed.

But is this a wild cat?
Xia Zhi observed the kitten, but found no clues that it was artificially raised, let alone any decorations such as a collar.It must be Wildcat.However, although it is a wild cat, it looks very clean. Maybe there are kind-hearted people nearby taking care of it.Don’t think that feral cats are left alone. Depending on where they live, stray animals may be treated differently.

For example, in China, if there are no exceptions, stray animals may really be stray animals in the true sense. As the most common pet species, stray cats and dogs are not uncommon in China, and there is still a lack of effective management measures.If it is in European and American countries, there are facilities similar to stray animal shelters. They will gather stray animals in the city together and wait for adoption by kind-hearted people...or euthanasia.

And there is a kind of charity activity that knows no boundaries: some people who like animals will take care of the animals wandering in the city to the best of their ability, such as providing them with some food, or giving them regular baths. , volunteers often do this, because love is something that has nothing to do with the country.

The kittens are very clean. I guess there should be people in this city who can take care of them.The survival ability of stray animals is much stronger than that of domestic animals. They are more agile, alert, and more hostile to other individuals, so it is a happy thing to be favored by stray animals.

Just like Yun Tianhe III's incorruptibility in exchange for fire and water invulnerability, being loved by animals can be said to be a proof of his positive deeds in his previous life.You must know that in addition to family, love and friendship, people also have a love for other living beings in this life. Is there anything more interesting than living in harmony with animals?If so, it must be the reason why the cats you masturbate are not attracting enough dogs.

Xia Zhi petted the cat for a while, and for some reason the cat suddenly trembled and then slipped away.Are you feeling uncomfortable after touching it for too long?Xia Zhi sighed as he thought about it.There was no one around anymore. It looked like it was night. It was time to go back.

It's a pity that I didn't think of taking a photo of the kitten at that time. It's not common for wild cats to be so close to people, and they are so cute. Maybe Xiaomeng will like it more.It would be nice to be able to take it back and raise it...but since I don't spend much time in the apartment during the day, it doesn't seem to be that good either.

Xia Zhi gave up the idea of ​​raising a cat.

Standing up from the swing, Xia Zhi habitually patted the non-existent dust and returned the same way.Although this is my first time in Kyoto, I have to say that modern life is indeed extremely convenient. As long as the map is pre-loaded on the map software, there is no need for paper maps.Except that it's not easy to use when the phone is out of battery, it's quite convenient.

Except when your phone is out of battery...

Xia Zhi looked at his cell phone with a black screen and looked confused.When did the power go out?
