The Witch's Taste

"Hey, adults, it's good to be energetic."

Coming into the room, Chen Ziang looked around helplessly.

Fortunately, it is not a big bed room, but a tatami room in the island style. The futon should be in the closet next to it, and it can be carried out and spread on the floor.

Directly opposite the door is the balcony, and you can see the cliffs that are close at hand.The clear spring falls into the stream from the top of the mountain, falls into the deep pool at the bottom of the stream, and then flows along the stream to the pond on the left.

There are pine and maple trees planted by the pond, making the environment deep and quiet.There is a frightening bird standing by the pond, and when the water falls into the bamboo tube, it will be pressed down and hit the bamboo bowl, making a crisp sound-it is said to be used to frighten the birds away.

There is a road paved with bluestone downstairs, extending to the side of the pond, which seems to be a fish feeding point.

"The scenery is nice, isn't it?" Tsukimiya Suzuna came to his side, leaning on the railing and said, "Mimijiang recommended it to me...do you remember her?"

"Song Xi, right?" Chen Ziang nodded and said, "What happened to her afterwards?"

"Song Mingyuan doesn't seem to be planning to arrange a blind date for her recently." Suzuna Yuegong said with a smile, "After all, June is the election for the governor of the star region. Taking advantage of her father's lack of time to take care of her, Mimi has been traveling like crazy recently."

"After all, it's not easy to go out after getting married, right?" Chen Ziang guessed.

"That's not true, but if you get married, you must go out with your husband when you travel." Tsukimiya Suzuna replied, "But there is a stranger around you who you don't know very well, so you won't have a good time playing, right?"

"So why do you have to go on a blind date with a stranger?" Chen Ziang sighed.

Although I don't quite understand the meaning of marriage, you high-class people are really playing around.

Tsukimiya Suzuna was too familiar with him, seeing him sigh faintly, she immediately guessed what he was thinking, and explained:

"It's not intentional to find a stranger for my daughter, but if Mimi can have a more familiar and suitable friend of the opposite sex, she won't be on a blind date, right?"

"For example, look at the super perfect Ms. Suzuna, isn't her father very reassuring about her? He never had any concerns about this."

"Speaking of which, that time when your dad suddenly asked me to get in the car, I was taken aback." Chen Ziang complained, "And he asked a lot of questions right after getting in the car."

"Although my father is sometimes too serious, his personality is actually very good." Suzuna Tsukimiya defended his father, "Our family's situation is quite special, because I am an only child, so my father is very concerned about my love situation. Heart, very worried that I will be with the wrong person and get hurt."

"However, seniors may wish to look at it from another angle: it is because my father knows that as long as I make up my mind who to choose, he can't make me change my mind at all, so I am so nervous about you senior. In other words, Seniors just take it as a joke when Dad said 'you must marry my daughter into the Zhuyuegong family'. In this family, it's not Dad who has the final say!"

Chen Ziang fell silent.

Of course he could understand what Yue Gong Suzuna meant, it was nothing more than telling himself not to have family worries, and to accept Miss Suzuna's love boldly, and she would take care of her parents.

but……

Judging from Yuegong Suzuna's tone, it seems that Yuegong Qingzai doesn't have much right to speak at home—considering that Yuegong Suzuna also has such a positive and strong personality, if he really gets together with her, will he be like Yuegong again? What about the mistakes of Qing Zheng?

Thinking of the possible conversations after marriage such as "I really don't have a single drop" and "Is there any more, seniors don't care about it", Chen Ziang couldn't help feeling a little dizzy.

213.Chapter 212 is effortless.

The time to check into the hotel was 5:[-] pm. Considering that it was time for lunch, Chen Ziang was not in a hurry to start work, but just confirmed the situation with Rio Hokaze.

"The situation of that dog is more complicated." Rio Hokaze replied, "I have predicted it with the Reiatsu divination system, and it has different locations at the same time. It is likely that the divination process itself has been damaged The interference of a mysterious force."

"Can divination be disturbed?" Chen Ziang asked curiously.

"Of course, technological signals can be interfered with, and the mysterious power is not as powerful as you think." Rio Hokaze said lightly, "However, I can be sure that the interference does not come from the awareness of divination, but just some kind of passive protection. "

"So what we are facing is not even an individual, but an organization that has mastered mysterious power?" Chen Ziang asked cautiously.

"Perhaps." Hokaze Rio replied, "I'll send you the divination information."

Chen Ziang chose to receive the text, and then saw a lot of coordinates...

"What is this?" Tsukimiya Suzuna leaned over from the side.

"The coordinates where the dog appeared." Chen Ziang replied.

"So this dog still teleports randomly?" Tsukimiya Suzuna said in surprise.

"You can tell it's been disturbed at a glance, okay?" Chen Ziang said helplessly, "It was supposed to be a fixed point, but because it was disturbed, each time the results were randomly shifted around to other places, and finally it was a big point. A pile of unknown coordinates."

"Let's study it tonight, let's go eat first." Suzuna Tsukimiya suggested, "The hotel provides meals, and the owner and his wife seem to have returned just now."

"Lingnai, isn't this your first time here?" Chen Ziang said in surprise, "Otherwise, how would you know who the owner is?"

"Uh, it's because of the little girl Tianshangyuan and Hua, who call them mom and dad." Suzuna Tsukimiya reacted quickly and quickly explained, "And they carry a lot of ingredients. I saw a notice saying that the hotel supplies food for a day." Three meals, so they should come and ask us to go down for dinner soon."

"Okay." Chen Ziang left the balcony, and just returned to the room when someone knocked on the door.

Opening the door, it was indeed the little girl He Hua.

"Guest." Tianshangyuan Hehua asked with a smile, "May I ask you to bring your own dinner or use it in the restaurant?"

"It's used in the store." Chen Ziang replied, "We are getting ready to come down."

"There are two kinds of set menus, mountain delicacy and river fresh food, guests can choose one of the two." Tianshangyuan and Hua introduced, "But since the two of you are here together, you can also order the two separately."

"What kind of dishes are there?"

"For Shanzhen, there are sukiyaki pots with matsutake, bracken, tofu and wild venison. The river seafood set meal is a mixed seafood meal with sea bass, crab, scallops and shrimp." Tianshangyuan and Hua explained skillfully, "But this It’s just part of the dinner. Others, such as rice, soba noodles, miso soup, curry, sushi rice balls, etc., can be ordered by yourself, which is included in the accommodation fee for the two of you.”

"Then let's order one each." Chen Ziang asked Xia Yuegong Lingnai what he meant, and ordered.

"Okay, I'll notify the kitchen right away." Tianshangyuan and Hua bid farewell and left.

"Are the little girls who run the hotel at home so sensible?" Chen Ziang said with emotion, "When I was her age, I didn't know anything except studying."

"Senior is starting to be humble again." Yue Gong Ling Nai laughed and said, "Who will take care of the younger sister in the family?"

"Uh, Xiaozhu is actually very easy to feed." Chen Ziang walked down the stairs and explained, "At that time, I hadn't practiced my cooking skills, so I only cooked simple meals for her every day, and she was never picky about food. It's okay now, there must be a dish she likes on the table."

"In short, at her age, it is rare to see such a little girl who can skillfully deal with inquiries from various adult guests."

"I like little girls so much, we just have to have a baby." Tsukimiya Suzuna muttered behind her.

"What?" Chen Ziang turned around and asked.

"I said, I want to have a good chat with Hehua's parents, and see what kind of tutoring can bring up such a well-behaved little girl." Yuegong Lingna said with a smile like a flower.

--------

In the hall on the ground floor, in the kang made of stones, a few small pots have already been boiled.

The meat of the wild sea bass was firm and delicious, and the bracken tofu was quite smooth and tender. Chen Ziang ate so much that he couldn't stop eating with chopsticks.

Tsukimiya Suzuna was chatting with the owner and his wife, and by the way praised He Hua, the child was too ashamed to lift his head.

"By the way." Taking advantage of her lowering her head to drink the soup, Tianshangyuan Hehua asked quickly, "Is Miss Suzuna here for a tour?"

"No." Suzuna Tsukimiya replied, "Actually, we were entrusted by someone to find a dog. Do you know the dog that Miyamoto Yui raises?"

The shop owner and his wife looked blank, obviously they were the type who didn't know how to use their mobile phones, Tianshangyuan and Hua raised their hands and shouted:

"I know Yui Miyamoto, she's the beautiful aunt on TV, right? I've watched a lot of TV shows starring her!"

Yuegong Lingnai laughed silently, thinking that the actress is not yet 40 years old, so you can call her auntie, but don't let her fans overhear.

"But her dog is lost, we haven't heard of it." Tianshangyuan and Hua continued, "Do you have any photos or something?"

"Here." Tsukimiya Suzuna took out her phone and clicked on the photo.

"Hey, isn't this the one..." Tianshangyuan Hehua cast a questioning look at his father.

Chen Ziang put down his chopsticks and looked over in surprise, only to hear the shopkeeper nod and say:

"Indeed, I've seen it before. This kind of pure white dog was raised by a rich family to enjoy it, but it turned out to be muddy and dirty. It's hard not to remember."

"Where did you see it?" Chen Ziang asked hastily.

"Continuing into the mountain from here, there is a village built in the forest called 'Qiushan Village'." The shopkeeper replied, "All the ingredients in our shop are bought in the village, and today I just saw someone tie up this dog. Outside the house, the nearby villagers said that the man stole it from outside, after all, the native dogs in our mountains don’t look like this.”

Tsukimiya Suzuna asked in surprise:

"Stolen? Is there no one to stop it?"

"Look at what you said, everyone is just guessing. Unless the owner of the dog finds it here, who knows where it came from? He will definitely say that he bought it from outside!" Moreover, everyone in the village knows each other, so there is no need to offend each other for this reason."

Chen Ziang thought that he was in Jibei City. As soon as everyone heard that they were stealing dogs, they immediately called the security officers to investigate and the matter was resolved immediately.

However, the remote villages in the deep mountains have already exceeded the limits of the extreme north urban area, and the public security office closest to the village has to come to the town. Unless the dog owner finds this place in person, there is really no need for unrelated people to call the police.

In any case, it was very lucky to be able to inquire about the dog on the first day here.

He lost his appetite at this time, so he just asked the owner and his wife in detail how to get to Naqiushan Village from here, the layout of the buildings in the village, and where the house with the dog is located in the village, etc.

Yue Gong Suzuna ate the matsutake next to her, and secretly thought about it.

Due to the "Ecological Protection Law" in the extreme northern urban area, not to mention dog meat, even chicken, duck, cattle and sheep can't be eaten; but the legal system in remote villages and towns is backward, and the people there don't care about you so much. In the nursing home, if the dog is disobedient and bites someone, sees the blood, becomes fierce, and simply puts it in the pot to avoid future troubles - so most of these people will eat dog meat, and naturally some villagers will steal the next door for that bite. Even dogs from other villages.

But the problem is that since this person is a stolen dog, he must be kept at home or slaughtered early to avoid being discovered by outsiders.What are you doing chained outside the house on purpose?

It's almost as if on purpose to be seen...

214.Chapter 213 Festival

Qiushan Village is not only far away from Chiba District, but also the mountain roads in the middle are difficult to walk, and even bicycles cannot be used.

Coupled with the extremely low temperature at night, Chen Ziang didn't bring any winter clothes, so he could only stay in the hotel for one night first, and tomorrow he would ask the owner to borrow some warm clothes and go into the mountains.

After dinner, Chen Zi'ang wanted to go back to his room to rest, but Tianshangyuan Hehua suddenly said "There is a festival outside", Yuegong Suzuna immediately understood, and yelled that senior should go to the festival with her.

The so-called "ceremonies" are actually just looking for a reason to celebrate the festival, and different places often have different customs.

For example, the Izumo, Nigurashi, and Gunma districts will hold fireworks displays at the end of August. The reason is to "celebrate the end of summer"... What is there to celebrate the end of summer?It's nothing more than taking this opportunity to hold an event to gather the crowd and make it easier for merchants to do business.

The festival here in Chiba District is called "Qingchun". As the name suggests, it celebrates the arrival of spring. It is said that in a short time, the trees in the mountains will sprout.

The location of the festival was on a street outside the hotel, and there were many temporary stalls at this time.

Chen Ziang stood at the door of the hotel, rubbing his stomach, feeling that he ate too much for dinner just now, and if he wanted to accompany Ling Nai to the snack stalls, he would probably only have a taste of it.

"Senior!" A vigorous voice came from behind, "What do you think of my body?"

When he heard the sound, he turned his head and saw that Tsukimiya Suzuna had already changed into a bathrobe, and she was looking at him expectantly, with a shy and beautiful blush on her face.

She had light brown hair hanging over her shoulders, and her clothes had a beautiful pattern of daffodils. Although the lines were designed rather loosely, she tied a tight shell knot with a belt, which on the contrary highlighted the majesty and magnificence of the mountain.

There are a pair of clogs under the feet, and the white cotton socks inside, which also look small and cute.He held a round folding fan in his left hand, and a small bag in his right hand, and he didn't know what was in it.

"It's pretty." Chen Ziang praised sincerely, "It matches your charm."

"Am I pretty, or this outfit?" Yue Gong Ling Nai suddenly lost her shame, and asked with a smile, the water in her eyes seemed to be overflowing.

"Of course you look good." Chen Ziang said frankly, "If this outfit is worn on me, it will definitely be like wearing a monkey crown."

"Senior, there are actually yukatas suitable for men." Tsukimiya Suzuna gave him a serious explanation, "And the colors are mainly gray and black, not as colorful as the ones we girls wear. Would you like to try it, senior? "

"No need, I'm not an island tribe." Chen Ziang refused.

"It has nothing to do with the nation." Tsukimiya Suzuna was actually a little eager to try, but she didn't want to force the senior to do something he didn't like, so she didn't continue to persevere, but happily took his arm, and pulled him away. Let's start visiting festivals.

Chen Ziang noticed that something was wrong with the touch, and quickly lowered his voice and asked:

"Suzuna, are you... not wearing it?"

"Of course." Tsukimiya Suzuna said in astonishment, "Senior, what are you thinking! This is a bathrobe!"

"Shouldn't they be worn normally?" Chen Ziang said embarrassedly.

"Yukatas and corsets can't coexist at all, okay?" Suzuna Tsukimiya said seriously, "This is a national custom! Is senior an island tribe, or am I an island tribe?"

"Then it's not convenient to hug the arms of the opposite sex while wearing a bathrobe, right?" Chen Ziang insisted.

"That's true." Tsukimiya Suzuna pondered.

Although the yukata is thick enough to prevent bumps, the material is soft and easily deformed. If you hug a man's arm tightly, the contact conductivity will be very good—so when most island women wear yukata, at most That is, holding hands with a boyfriend or husband.

"But I don't care!" She smiled mischievously, her eyebrows and eyes were crooked, as if deliberately teasing people, "customs are made to be broken!"

Chen Ziang: ……………

Obviously I took advantage of the matter, why do I always feel that her trick has succeeded?

The two were wandering the streets boredly, and there were not many pedestrians around, with about half of locals and half tourists.The former tend to wear kimonos or yukatas, while the latter dress more casually and seem to be more keen on taking pictures everywhere than participating in festivals.

Tsukimiya Suzuna stopped in front of a teppanyaki booth, took a breath with her small nose, and said in admiration:

"Wow, it smells so good."

"What do you want to eat?" Chen Ziang was about to pay the bill.
