Chiba Salted Fish Legend

Chapter 237

As soon as he got off the train, Xia Zhi began to sigh. Japan is really not a very big place.Tokyo, Chiba, and Ibaraki sound like extremely large human settlements, and in fact they are. However, such human settlements only cost a few hundred yen and take more than 20 to [-] minutes to travel from one thousand to the next. Ye ran to Ibaraki.It is said that the distance between the two counties is only about [-] kilometers... It seems that as long as you have enough physical strength, you can even spend a few hours riding a bicycle or walking there.

Ibaraki is located in the central part of Honshu Island, northeast of the Kanto Plain, and is also in the circle of the capital circle.The modernization here is not too prominent, and the agriculture, fishery, and breeding industries are also very developed. The entire city seems to still have half of its characteristics belonging to nature. From this point of view, it looks like a large rural area.But its relatively developed economy has also allowed it to extract itself from the category of rural areas.

Generally speaking, this place is a good place with fresh air. It is more like a small county town. The economic foundation is good, but the modernization is not that thorough. In this regard, Xia Zhi feels very warm.After all, I grew up in a similar environment.

Although there is also a lot of interest in Ibaraki Prefecture, Tachibana Aya is obviously not very interested in it.After getting off the tram, he pulled Xia Zhi towards the beach while saying "here, here".Because it was the seaside, Xia Zhi could really feel the sea breeze blowing on his face. This slightly different smell from the city made him feel novel, but it also took away a lot of heat.

It was not yet noon, but there were not many pedestrians on the street. Maybe they were all staying at home waiting to have lunch, or it was too windy outside and they didn't want to come out. This had nothing to do with Xia Zhi.While looking at the electronic map on her phone, Tachibana Aya pulled Natsuki, who was looking around and observing the urban environment, towards the destination.Not long after walking, a large beach appeared in front of Xia Zhi.

"arrive!"

Tachibana Aya said loudly while supporting the guardrail of the seaside. Just by hearing her shouting, Xia Zhi could feel her happy mood.However, Xia Zhi felt that this was different from what he had promised...

"Didn't you say this is just a small beach?" Xia Zhi looked at the long coast and the waves that kept hitting the coast, feeling that he had been deceived.

"Yes, the beach at Moriya Beach is not that big." Tachibana Aya gestured to both sides of the beach with her hands: "Although it looks very empty to you now, in summer, there will be no such large vacancies left here. . Now let alone the crowds of people like in summer, look at this beach, are there anyone else besides us?"

Natsuki looked around, but found no one else around except himself and Tachibana Aya.Xia Zhi felt a little unbelievable. Even in autumn and winter, even if he lived in a coastal area, he could not look up at the coast every day. Let alone the beach, he could not even see the coastal street where Xia Zhi was standing. For a few people, this is too much.

Could it be that Tachibana Aya used some kind of magic?

"Is this impossible? There are too few people here, right?" Xia Zhi scratched his hair.

"Why is it impossible? It's autumn now, and it's so cold at the seaside. I live in a coastal city every day, and I can't see you when you look up at the coast. Who would come to the beach for a walk if you have nothing to do?" Tachibana Aya raised the bridge of her nose. Non-existent glasses.

"You also know that it's autumn now and it's cold at the seaside." Regarding this magical situation, Tachibana Aya's explanation could not answer Xia Zhi's doubts.Even if the residents are too lazy to go out and stay at home, the beach needs daily maintenance. The more famous the beach, the more careful and cumbersome it is to maintain it. How can it be like now where no one can see a single beach.

"This is perfect now. When I went to the beach in the summer, it was so crowded that there was almost no room for people to stand. This is the opportunity given to you by God to take over this beach!"

"So..." Xia Zhi was a little worried: "There are too few people here now. Could it be that the beach needs maintenance or something, so no one comes?"

"Don't worry, if the beach needs maintenance, there will definitely be notices posted on this street. It's just that no one happened to be here today, right?"

"Don't just change your tone to a questioning tone!"

Natsuki complained, but found that Tachibana Aya had run down the stairs like a wild dog.

"Hey! Slow down!"

It's no joke if you fall down the stairs so fast.Xia Zhi also walked on. To be honest, the feeling of stepping on the beach was more or less wonderful. Every step he took left a footprint, and the sand felt soft and soft, as if he would sink in. Same.

Although Xia Zhi came to Japan across the sea, and although he had seen the sea with his own eyes, this was the first time he walked on the seaside like this.It wasn't with her family or her childhood or anything, but with a girl whose friends even praised her a little too much. This kind of life experience made Xia Zhi feel mixed in her heart.

Tachibana Aya waved to Natsuki on the beach, seemingly letting him pass.When Natsuki walked over, Tachibana Aya suddenly opened her hands and shouted loudly: "Welcome to Moriya Beach!"

Xia Zhi rolled his eyes: "Why do you act like this coast belongs to your home?"

"What does it matter? No one will mind anyway." Tachibana Aya stood sideways and gestured to Xia Zhi to look at the entire beach: "How is it? I didn't lie to you, did I? This beach is very beautiful!"

Natsuki looked around: there was yellow sand under his feet, and there was a trail of footprints of himself and Tachibana Aya leading to where he was. The ridges on both sides of the beach included the entire beach, and the front was clear. The bottomed water becomes deeper and deeper, and bluer and bluer. Waves after waves are also hitting the beach, rising up, and then disappearing without a trace.

The beach is not as golden as I imagined, and the sea water is not the emerald color that Tachibana Said. This is probably because it is autumn now, which can make the coast golden and the sea water light green. The sunlight has disappeared, which is normal, but somewhat disappointing.But there is nothing that can be done, after all, it is impossible to turn back time, to the time when Xia Tian and Lie Yan were still there.

The ferry island Tachibana Aya mentioned is not far from the coast. It is not big, but Natsuki, who is slightly short-sighted, can clearly see the red torii on the island, and it looks like a real island. The raised middle part.The scenery on the beach can be seen at a glance, but the view from crossing the island is not very clear. Xia Zhi wants to go to the island to have a look, but he also understands that he does not have the conditions now.

The tide ebbs in a 20-year cycle... I don't know if I will ever have the opportunity to go to the island to see it in person.

Although the beach is not golden, the sea is not light green, and there are basically no tourists, this does not prevent Xia Zhi from imagining what it will be like here in the summer... Okay, Xia Zhi can't really imagine it. , after all, I have no similar experience.The so-called brainstorming is also an activity that can only be carried out with relevant experience.

"It is indeed beautiful." Xia Zhi made a compliment that was not intentional.Although this place only turns into its most beautiful form in the summer, it is also very beautiful now.A little more space can make people look at the surrounding scenery more calmly.

"Really?" Tachibana Aya smiled proudly: "Although it is autumn now, many things that can be felt in summer cannot be seen, but there are many things that can only be felt in autumn."

To be honest, except for the cold in autumn, Xia Zhi has not felt anything about this beach or the bathing beach that can only be felt in autumn.

"But, it doesn't matter. There's still a lot of time." Tachibana Aya counted on his fingers: "It would be nice to come together during the summer vacation next year. By the way, we can go and visit the 99 Rihama and Minami Chikura that we mentioned before. If you visit similar places, your summer vacation will be really fulfilling."

"Don't just arrange my summer vacation so thoroughly! I still have to work, study or go home." Xia Zhi also started counting with his fingers.

"What! You actually want to refuse the invitation of a beautiful girl! Are you still human?"

"Are you a human being who wants to arrange my summer vacation so easily?"

Xia Zhi countered.

"I, I... I'm here to help you enrich your life. I'm doing it for your own good! As someone who has been here, of course I understand how precious a person's summer vacation is. Of course, I must make good use of the precious summer vacation. That’s it!”

No matter what, Tachibana Aya can always find excuses that may be reasonable or unreasonable to excuse herself.To a certain extent, this can be regarded as a quite remarkable skill.

Xia Zhi snorted softly. Li Huacai heard it and looked at Xia Zhi unhappily: "If you do this, you will lose the lovely me."

"Wake up, you are not cute at all."

The word cute doesn't suit Tachibana Aya, and her personal impression is more inclined to be used to describe "beautiful" adults.

Tachibana Aya was so blocked that she couldn't speak. She turned her head and started to shut herself up. She didn't turn around for a while.

Xia Zhi was still wondering whether what he just said was so lethal. Tachibana Aya suddenly returned to her original appearance, holding a small notepad in her hand and raising it above her head: "To sum up, we Let’s go swimming!”

???

Is Tachibana Aya's brain finally broken?

Seeing the extremely obvious disgust in Xia Zhi's eyes, Tachibana Aya glared at him: "We have already reached the beach, how can we justify not going swimming?"

"Go ahead if you want. I won't go down even if I kill you."

Not to mention that he didn't bring anything suitable for swimming. Just with this weather and temperature, Xia Zhi didn't even want to touch the water.

"Then I'm going!" Tachibana Aya was eager to give it a try.

"Go." Xia Zhi nodded: "Although it is autumn and it is still daytime, the temperature of the sea is a little lower than that of the land, but it is not much lower. And although there will be wind and other things now, people who have just come out of the water It will definitely be freezing cold, but the air will dry it quickly, so I’m not afraid.”

Tachibana Aya's eager expression became extremely stiff.

"...You guys are actually a devil, right?"
