Chapter 1559 Outing
  After Ya Zhangzi's joke, everyone introduced themselves to each other.

The short-haired woman wearing glasses is Masako's agent, named Chisato Kanaya. As for the middle-aged man, he is Katsuya Otaka, the editor of the publishing house.

What is surprising is that Da Gaoke actually thought of the Suzuki Consortium from the titles of the Suzuki sisters.

"I didn't expect to see the daughter of the Suzuki family here."

Da Gaoke also smiled and invited, "If you don't mind, let's have lunch with the next few."

Because it is the off-season, there have been no new guests at the hot spring hotel for a long time, so it can be lively if everyone gets together. "

"Okay!" Yuanzi nodded excitedly after hearing this: "I still have a lot of questions I want to ask Teacher Masako!"

"Don't ask too rude questions." Ayako warned her sister, then looked at her and said, "Then I'll excuse you."

Although she knew that Otaka Katsuya's attentiveness was due to their Suzuki family status, since her sister was willing to deal with Masako, Ayako would not be disappointed.

Moreover, there are so many people who want to make friends with the Suzuki family, and Ayako is used to dealing with such occasions.

After the group of people sat down, they started chatting. When they learned that Karasawa and the others were here to soak in the hot springs, Kanato Chisato couldn't help but smile: "Then you came at the right time. If the temperature had been the same as the previous few days, you wouldn't have been able to soak in it. "

"Hey, we thought of taking a bath in a hot spring just because of the sudden cooling due to the typhoon." Sonoko said with a smile.

"Teacher, we can also go to a hot spring in the afternoon." Kanato Chisato looked at Masako and said with a smile.

"Well, you can indeed take a dip."

Yazhangzi nodded when he heard this: "After all, I have been writing books in the house for so long. Not only have I not gone out to play, I have not even taken a hot spring bath because of the weather."

As the saying goes, all jokes have an element of seriousness.

Although Yazhangzi said it as a joke, as an editor and assistant, he couldn't ignore it, let alone the second time the other party mentioned it.

"Teacher, please don't click on me at this time."

Da Gaoke also laughed bitterly when he heard this, and then suggested: "It's better than this. Today, while the temperature suddenly drops, teacher, you can soak in the hot springs in the afternoon, and then when the temperature comes up tomorrow, how about we go hiking in the afternoon?"

"Mountain climbing?" Yuanzi heard this and asked curiously: "Are there any mountains near here?"

"Yes, there is a Fudo Falls about an hour away from here." Da Gaoke said with a smile.

"You know what's going on, then it's settled." Ya Zhangzi nodded with satisfaction after hearing this: "In return, I will work hard this afternoon and try to get everything done."

"Then please leave it to the teacher." Da Gaoke was also overjoyed when he heard this.

They agreed to go out for an outing together tomorrow, and the atmosphere among everyone became more and more harmonious, and the relationship seemed to be getting closer. After the meal, the guests and hosts were enjoying themselves.

After eating, everyone went back to their rooms and took a nap for a while. After all, the three of them had driven all the way here, so they naturally had to rest for a while after eating.

After sleeping until three o'clock in the afternoon, Karasawa and Ayako slowly woke up from their sleep.

After lying on the bed for a while, Ayako lazily got up and went to the next room to call Sonoko in the next room to get up.

Everyone yawned and bought three cups of coffee and milk, and came to the entertainment room while drinking.

Not long after, Kanato Senri and Da Gaoke also came over. As for Masako, he didn't come over because he still had work, and planned to wait until he was in the hot springs.

So everyone formed groups and started playing table tennis in one rotation.

When they were done playing, everyone went to the hot springs in groups.

As the saying goes, one autumn rain brings another cold. Although the typhoon passing through the country in the past few days can be regarded as a "dragon crossing the river", it has actually lowered the temperature in these days.

However, it was a good time to soak in a hot spring on such a cool day. After saying goodbye to Ayako, Karasawa and Ogao Ke also went to the men's bath.

The two chatted while soaking in the hot spring, and the sky gradually turned into night.

We had a meal at noon, and went to the hot springs together in the afternoon. The relationship between everyone was further improved, and they even drank wine during dinner in the evening.

The group of people drank wine as quickly as possible until midnight, and then they went their separate ways.

The next day, everyone got up and took a shower.

Although Tang Ze didn't get drunk after drinking yesterday, he was on vacation after all. He relaxed physically and mentally without straining his heartstrings, and fell into a good sleep thanks to his three-point drunkenness.

After breakfast and lunch were finished, everyone rested for a while, and then gathered at the entrance as agreed at one o'clock.

"You don't need to bring too many things. After we see the waterfall, we can take the boat directly back to the hotel pier."

Seeing that Yuanzi was still carrying his bag, Da Gaoke also smiled and said, "It's only an hour away, so just bring a bottle of water."

"Wow! That's great!" Hearing what Otaka Katsuya said, Sonoko's eyes lit up. After taking a bottle of water from his bag, he ran back and put the bag back in the room, then turned back.

After the interlude, a group of six people formed a team and set off from the hotel towards the "Fudo Falls".

Although the sun is shining brightly today, the temperature is quite comfortable, and everyone does not feel hot even if they are wearing shirts or thin jackets while walking.

"Huh, I haven't walked so much for a long time." Ya Zhangzi said while wiping his forehead.

"Yeah, it's quite tiring." Yuanzi took two deep breaths.

"We've only been walking for 50 minutes." Da Gaoke on the side looked at his watch and said with a smile.

"You should say "already"." Ya Zhangzi said angrily when he heard this.

"It's because you lack exercise." Da Gaoke also said with a smile.

"Ah, there are boats by the lake!" Ayako looked around and soon saw a slope sloping downwards. There was a simple dock and boat over there.

"If you don't move to the waterfall, you can walk uphill in the opposite direction to the pier for about 10 minutes to get there." Da Gaoke said with a smile.

"Then what are you waiting for? Come on!" Yuanzi took Yazhangzi's arm and encouraged each other to walk towards the waterfall.

The ten-minute walk went very quickly, and everyone saw the "Fudo Falls".

This is a small and medium-sized waterfall, and everyone is under the waterfall, so they can directly see the front of the waterfall.

Below the waterfall is a pool and a stream that spreads downward. Except for the deep pool, the stream only covers the ankles.

As we all know, wherever there is living water, there are living creatures such as fish and shrimp.

After looking at this good place, Sonoko couldn't walk anymore and started shouting about going down to touch crabs. Kanato Chisato next to her was also a little moved, and she repeatedly agreed with Sonoko that she planned to form a team with him.

"Then we can move freely."

Da Gaoke also smiled and said: "Only Fudo Falls is interesting around here, the others are very far away, and half a day is definitely not enough.

However, the scenery nearby is not bad. Let's wander around for half an hour and then come back to gather. "

"OK~" After hearing what Ogao Katsuya said, everyone agreed and then dispersed in all directions.

Sonoko and her agent Kanato Chisato took off their shoes and rolled up their trouser legs and went down to the creek to catch crabs, while Ayako planned to take Karasawa around for a while to spend their time together.

But what I didn't expect was that Ogao Katsuya and Masako Zi who were next to them also left together.

"Ah, there won't be anything going on with these two, right?" Ayako speculated with some gossip as she watched the two people leaving.

"Before, there was no sign of any closeness between the two of them." Tang Ze said, touching his chin.

"Maybe it's just pure companionship."

Ayako smiled after hearing Karasawa's words and said: "Okay, okay, if you come out once in a while, don't analyze and analyze. Let your brain rest. Let's walk over there.

When I was just looking at the sign, I saw a small temple 500 meters to the left. Let's go and have a look. "

"Okay."

After hearing Ayako's words, Karasawa smiled and nodded, heading towards the temple.

As for Otaka Katsuya and Masako, they were heading in the opposite direction of Karasawa.

The two came to the temple and found that there was no one here. Although the temple door was open, no one was taking care of it.

I don’t know if it’s because the monk who manages the temple in the off-season thinks there won’t be any visitors and leaves, or if it’s already deserted.

Seeing this, the two of them lost much interest. After casually paying homage to the Buddha statue, they left directly.

Of course, although the deserted temple is a bit disappointing, the surrounding scenery is still good, and the two of them did not come here in vain.

After returning to the waterfall under the bright moon, Sonoko started shouting when she saw Karasawa and the others returning.

When the two of them got closer, Yuanzi started to show off their achievements.

There was a pothole about the size of a palm beside the stream. There were eight small crabs, two small shrimps and a finger-long fish in it.

"In this short period of time, I have gained a lot." Tang Ze said with a smile when he saw the harvest in the pit.

"Hehe, that's right!" Yuanzi said with a smile, hands on hips, "Of course, mainly because there may be fewer people here, so it's easy to gain something."

"But why did you put them in the pit?" Ayako asked curiously: "Aren't you afraid that the crabs will run away?"

"The main reason is that there is nothing to pack." Yuanzi sighed: "I brought a drink bottle with me when I left. Shrimps and fish are fine, but there is nothing I can do about crabs."

"I'll cut the mouth of the bottle open for you later." Tang Ze smiled and said, "But before that, you'd better drink the water first."

"Really?"

Yuanzi's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he immediately ran to the shore barefoot, drank the remaining half of the bottle of water, and then handed the bottle to Tang Ze: "Brother-in-law, I leave it to you!"

"Why are you still acting like a child?" Ayako couldn't help but laugh when she saw her sister's arrogant look.

"He's just a child." Tang Ze took the bottle with a smile, took out his gift, extended the blade of the knife to a finger's length, and easily cut off the mouth of the bottle.

Yuanzi cheered when he saw this. He first went to the stream to fill half a bottle of water, and then squatted next to the small pit to fill the crabs.

"By the way, it's almost time to gather. Why haven't I seen Editor Dagao and Teacher Zhang Zi yet?"

Kanato Chisato took out his cell phone from his trouser pocket and looked at the time, then said immediately, "Is it because I forgot the meeting time? I'll give them a call."

But as soon as the call was dialed, the ringing sound reached everyone's ears from a distance.

"came back."

After hearing the ringtone, Chisato Kanaya hung up the phone with a smile and looked in the direction of the ringtone. Not long after, he saw the figure of Otaka Katsuya, who was now covered in water and completely soaked.

"Eh?" Kanato Chisato couldn't help being shocked when he saw Otaka Katsuya's appearance: "Mr. Otaka, what's wrong with you? You're soaked all over?"

"And where is Teacher Zhang Zi?"

Looking at Odaka Katsuya returning alone, Karasawa already had a bad feeling in his heart. He stared at Odaka Katsuya with his eyes and asked, "Didn't you go together?"

"No, we went our separate ways halfway. There was a forked path over there, and she went to the other side."

After hearing Tangze's question, Da Gaoke pointed at the path they had taken before and explained.

After hearing Otaka Katsuya's words, everyone turned to look in the direction he came from, and found that the path was divided into two to form a "Y" shape.

"But why are you all wet?" Sonoko looked at Ogao Katsuya curiously.

"I was walking along the river and accidentally slipped and fell directly into the river." Da Gaoke also scratched his head in embarrassment.

"No, Teacher Zhangzi doesn't answer the phone." Hearing this, Qianli Kanaya took out his phone and called again, but when the busy signal was reached, there was still no answer.

"It couldn't be that something happened," Ayako said worriedly.

"No, no."

Hearing Ayako's worried words, Kanato Chisato smiled and waved her hands and said, "You don't have to worry too much. Teacher, she is like this, not just once or twice."

Although the teacher looks like a quiet, intellectual and beautiful woman, she is actually very independent.

For example, he suddenly disappeared at a party, or suddenly disappeared while playing together. When he found out, he found that he had gone back to write a book. "

"Is that so?" Yuanzi was surprised when he heard this: "I really can't tell."

"Perhaps writers are all more or less independent."

Kanato Chisato smiled and said, "I'm used to it anyway, so you don't have to worry too much."

"But just in case Teacher Zhang Zi is left behind, let's look for him." Da Gao Ke on the side also heard this and said.

After hearing what Otaka Katsuya said, everyone nodded and walked towards the path taken by Masako.

This path was not too long, almost the same distance as the temple, and there was a cliff further ahead. Everyone quickly searched it, but there was no trace of the other party at all.

"I'll go look for it on the same road Mr. Dagao walked before. Please wait for me here for a moment."

After returning to the intersection, Tangze looked at the tired people and said something, then trotted towards the path where the other party came back.

The road here was not too long. After running for almost 800 meters, Tang Ze saw a large lake blocking the way ahead, and there was no sign of Ya Zhangzi on the road.

Seeing that there was no one on this road, Tang Ze joined the crowd with a frown.
