Chapter 111
Chapter 111
It happened to be the morning of the next day when Lin Qiang, Lei Zi, Fujiyoshi, and Lin Meizhi felt about Kyoto. It is said that the Cherry Blossom Festival was held at this time.
At the beginning, Lin Qiang thought that Tokyo and Kyoto were the same place, but now he knows that Kyoto has a much longer history than Tokyo. It had already become the capital of an island country 1200 years ago, and it was called Heian-kyo at that time.And Tokyo was transformed from a small fishing village into 'Edo' by the Tokugawa shogunate 500 years ago, and the Edo period began from then on.
The ancient buildings and markets from hundreds of years ago, even more than 1000 years ago, are preserved here.Because the cherry blossoms in Kyoto are integrated with the antique environment, they look more flavorful, more gorgeous, and arouse reverie.There are more women wearing kimono oiled paper umbrellas here than in Tokyo. The women here are like cherry blossoms, and the cherry blossoms are like women, as if they already have some ancient charm and spirituality.
Standing at the gate of Jinjie Guangming Temple on Jingdu East Road, Lin Qiang saw a group of monks wearing bamboo hats walking along the street, so he joined his hands together and prayed silently for a while, hoping that his father would recover soon, Lei Zi would find his sister quickly, and Say to Fujiyoshi, "Your friend won't be late this time, will he?"
"Certainly not. If that idiot Ozawa is late this time, Hasegawa will not let him go. You must know that you are the biggest favorite in Tokyo now."
Lei Zi said with a cigarette in his mouth: "I didn't expect that Kyoto is quite beautiful. I have been in Japan for so long, and I hang out in Tokyo every day, but it is the first time I have been to other cities. I think this place is the same as the ancient city of China. Well, I can’t tell, why don’t we go in and have a stroll?”
Lin Meizhi gave him a blank look and said: "You are so heartless, you don't even know that the capital was built after Chang'an and Luoyang in the Tang Dynasty, what kind of fool are you, what kind of Chinese are you? Brother Lin even went on honeymoon for you It’s all delayed, and you still only care about playing, are you embarrassed?”
"Oh!" Lei Zi rubbed his head and said with a wry smile, "Brother Lin, why did my sister-in-law let you out? You couldn't be really angry yesterday, right? Then what should I do?"
Lin Qiang felt a little bitter in his heart: "It's okay, Lei Zi, your sister-in-law is not that kind of person, so don't take it to heart, we still have to deal with business. I was thinking that if we want to find your sister, we have to go through Hasegawa. So we have to Waiting here will take a long time."
Fujiyoshi looked at it and said, "Let's go, people are probably already here."
Several people stepped into it, and when they came to the appointed place, Fujiyoshi jumped up again: "It's really unreasonable, he is late again, it's really annoying, I, police officer Fujiyoshi, can be so easy to bully."
After waiting for a while, Fujikichi became more and more angry, and Lei Zi was also a little impatient. In order to relieve their emotions, Lin Qiang asked everyone to hang around here temporarily.
Lin Meizhi insisted on going to the temple to offer incense, and Lei Zi also went to pray for blessings, because there are about 1650 temples here, and the incense is also very prosperous. Compared with the so-called 480 temples in the Southern Dynasty, I don’t know how many more.So Lei Zi even planned that if Ozawa still didn't come, he would offer incense in temples one by one, praying to Buddha to bless him to find his sister back as soon as possible.
But Lin Qiang said that he wanted to walk alone, so they temporarily parted ways.
Here you can see a temple tower at intervals, and it is not difficult to offer incense and pray for blessings.Lin Qiang also wanted to pray to the Buddha, but he didn't want to join in the fun with them.After parting, he looked up and saw a white Buddhist pagoda on the top of a nearby mountain, which was magnificent and majestic. He immediately felt peaceful, so he walked over.
Lin Qiang walked along a mountain road to the tower on the top of the mountain alone. Accompanied by the sound of bells all the way, he came to a dense ocean-like cherry blossom forest. He involuntarily searched for the source of the bell and walked over.
Because I couldn't find a formal path, I could only walk through the cherry blossoms. After a quarter of an hour, the flowers and trees gradually thinned out, and the white stone foundation of the tower was revealed.
He was about to separate the flower branches and go out, when he suddenly heard a faintly familiar voice praying in front of him, he couldn't understand what he was saying, but when he looked around, he suddenly called out in surprise: "Miss Mieko, why is it you?"
Mieko, who was wearing a light green kimono, gathered the cherry blossoms that had fallen to the ground, held them with both hands and put them on a piece of blue silk cloth, then walked to the small river beside her, sprinkled them in, and let it flow along Down.When he turned his head, he saw Lin Qiang.Her eyes widened immediately, flashing an unbelievable light.
"Lin Jun, it's you, I was praying just now—" Mieko blushed and bit her lip.
Lin Qiang didn't quite understand, so he asked, "Why did you scatter the petals in the water?" Mei Huizi laughed and said, "Hey, you're still from China, haven't you seen the Dream of the Red Chamber? Daiyu can bury flowers, can it be I can't! I come here every year to bury flowers!"
"No!" Lin Qiang said thoughtfully, "Why do I remember Daiyu's burial of flowers is not like this?"
Mieko immediately chattered and said: "My Mr. Lin, you don't quite understand this. I came up with this myself. I think the burial flowers like Daiyu written in Dream of the Red Chamber are not very good, because she used It is a burial, and Jia Baoyu also said that men are made of mud and women are made of water. The cherry blossoms are so delicate and beautiful, she must be a woman, right? So I chose to give it a water burial instead of Daiyu’s burial, um, That being said, Daiyu was actually wrong, not Mieko."
"Ah, in fact, according to what you said, even if you are intact, you are still considered a funeral flower."
Mieko walked over, took Lin Qiang's arm, tilted her head and said, "Mr. Lin, I don't understand what you are saying. How do you Chinese people understand the Dream of the Red Chamber?"
Lin Qiang grinned: "I don't understand Dream of the Red Chamber, but I think letting them lie quietly on the ground is actually a kind of sky burial. So in fact, if I don't do anything now, it is also a kind of burial flower!"
"You're so cunning!" Mieko said reproachfully, pouting.The tone of her speech, unknowingly, reveals the unique lightness and anger of a girl, like a coquettish coquettish between lovers, and every time the last word is reached, it becomes softer like a thread of love that spins a thousand times .It always made Lin Qiang's heart flutter.
"Then since you're here, let's eat something now. I like eating the most. Every time I come here, I eat a lot, because burying flowers takes a lot of energy and energy." Sometimes Mieko loves to talk, but it is definitely not the twittering of an ordinary girl. She speaks very elegantly and not too fast. No matter what time it is, she will never lose her upbringing.This reminded Lin Qiang of the Prince Charming, Kudo Koji.
"You two are a perfect match!" Lin Qiang blurted out.
"Mr. Lin, can you come and do me a favor!" Mieko said suddenly.
Lin Qiang saw that she didn't know when, she took out two delicate lunch boxes from behind the tree, spread the fragrant silk cloth on the ground, put the lunch boxes on it, knelt down straight up, and opened the box. Bento lid.Lin Qiang hurried over. He knew the habits of the Japanese, so he knelt opposite Mieko, which was considered a return of courtesy, and he couldn't take advantage of other little girls.
The two of them took out the grilled meat and grilled fish, sushi sashimi, rice balls, and other things one by one, and put them in front of each other. Lin Qiang suddenly found that there were two bottles of wine, one bottle of Japanese sake, and one bottle of wine. Beer, even the dishes are prepared for two people.
"Hey, I'm getting more and more strange." Lin Qiang said inexplicably, "You were in Tokyo yesterday, but you came to Kyoto today, and you came to the temple to bury flowers and you brought a food box, and you brought two food boxes with you." Don't forget about your identity, you have gone through a test of blood and fire yesterday, aren't you afraid now?"
"I'm scared. However, I rarely have the opportunity to go out every year. I can only come out for the 'Sakura Festival' these few days, so I don't want to miss this opportunity, like a bird locked in a cage Son. I used to prepare a bento and a lot of snacks. I like to hide and eat snacks alone, but I thought, maybe I can meet you here. I don’t know why I always think so, you guys The Chinese people say that this is called a sympathy, and it is also called fate, I think, I think, we are destined." It seems that she has no idea what fate means.
"Maybe it's the Buddha's blessing, maybe it's my sincerity that makes the spirit, anyway, I just saw you, so the bento I prepared for two is not wasted, let's start eating." Mieko shrugged innocently and cutely There was a slight blush on her shoulders and her face, because she told a little lie, this bento was originally prepared by her wishful thinking to help Lin Qiang, but she never thought that her dream would come true.But considering that it would be a bit of a nympho to tell the truth, she didn't say it.
"Oh, I'm really a little hungry. The food in your island country is still very good, but you seem to eat a little less." Lin Qiang saw that although there were many varieties in the food box, the amount of each food was too small. Just enough for one bite, like feeding a cat.Mieko told him it was for frugality.
When Lin Qiang finished drinking a bottle of sake, Mieko also finished drinking a bottle of beer. She was probably drunk, so she dragged Lin Qiang to dance together, doing Japanese dance.When she dances, she looks like a Japanese doll. At this time, the snow under her feet is covered by cherry blossoms, and the crimson petals are flying all over her head, which is extremely cute.
Tired of dancing, she knelt down in front of Lin Qiang again, her beautiful eyes wandering: "Lin Jun, you won't laugh at me, in fact, it's very difficult for me to play so heartily once in a year. I used to be alone , I am lucky to have you with me this year."
Lin Qiang suddenly wondered and said, "Then where is your friend Chuanyuan?"
"Oh, Kawahara!" Mieko hurriedly took out a doll from her pocket: "Here she is! Even if you two know each other today, you should be good friends in the future!"
"This is the best friend Chuan Yuan that you often mentioned to me?" Lin Qiang was surprised, and even felt a little unbelievable, but then he thought, for a rich lady like her, her family members are naturally like princesses Be fond of, hold it in your mouth for fear of melting, and put it in your palm for fear of falling. If you are not careful, there will be a greenhouse effect, and it will become what it is now.But today, why——
"Mikeko, today is your birthday, isn't it?" Lin Qiang shouted suddenly.
"Well, ah, how did you know?" It was obvious that Mieko was very happy in her heart, and her eyes, which were as clear as water, were blinking, full of joy, which was considered an admission.
"Come here, I'll buy you a gift." Lin Qiang took her hand and pulled her up.
"But my kimono can't run fast." Mieko seemed to become brisk and lively.She liked the feeling of Lin Qiang grabbing her hand very much.
"Then I'll hold you." Lin Qiang was so bold that he suddenly pulled her into his arms lazily.Mieko immediately let out a series of silver bell-like laughter.
