Mingshan Mountain used to be the private property of the Araki family, and the entire mountain was passed down for several generations. The Araki family was also the leading prominent family in the area.
However, almost twenty years ago, affected by the overall collapse of Japan's economy, the Araki family's business had poor cash flow and was on the verge of bankruptcy. The Araki couple could not withstand the tremendous pressure and fell ill one after another and were unable to manage, leaving only Araki.
Araki Yue, the family's only daughter, struggled to support herself.
Araki Yue is a very tenacious, courageous and responsible girl. She tried her best to keep her family business and at least Mingshan. She just tried every means to repay her debts. However, the economic environment at that time was very bad and she exhausted all her efforts.
He tried various methods and even begged everywhere, just to get a breathing space for his family, but it was of no use. The banks and creditors still pressed for repayment and repeatedly requested that Mingshan be auctioned off.
Almost at the same time, her parents also passed away, which was a big blow to her. In the end, she couldn't hold on any longer. She committed suicide by burning charcoal. It is said that when she died, her eyes were wide open and her whole body was pale, except for her lips, which looked like cherries.
So bright red.
Her last request in her suicide note was that she hoped to be buried on Mingshan Mountain where she grew up. However, Mingshan Mountain had to be auctioned off to repay the debts of all parties, and the bank would not allow it. Mingshan Mountain no longer belonged to the Araki family, and it was impossible to give her any more money.
After planning a cemetery, her bone fire box was blocked on the bridge. After negotiations between the government and the bank, it was buried somewhere.
Since then, many people have seen Araki slowly walking towards Mingshan Mountain from the bridge, and many people have seen Araki wandering alone on Mingshan Mountain...
The middle-aged driver finished speaking slowly and sighed: "Maybe it's because of her lingering obsession. After all, she didn't protect her home, so she lingered over and over again at the place of her last wish and refused to leave."
Fuyumi swallowed her saliva and asked in a trembling voice: "Uncle, is this true?"
"It's true. At that time, as long as the Araki family was given a few years and the economic situation improved slightly, they would be able to survive, but the creditors and banks were too tight!" The driver said with a trembling voice, "
I heard... I heard, little girl, I just heard that the people in charge of loan collection at the banks at that time, as well as the bad guys who took the opportunity to carve up the Araki family, all died in the next few years.
Already."
"Dead...dead?!" Fuyumi couldn't swallow anymore, and her lips and tongue began to feel dry.
"He died, so he deserved it. Except for the bank, the creditors were basically former friends of the Araki family, and there were even people who had received favors from the Araki family. At that time, there were all kinds of ugly things, so I could only
It's... it's a pity, Miss Araki shouldn't have to endure that." The driver sighed. He had grown up twenty years ago and was one of the bystanders of the incident at that time.
Suzuki Noki looked confused and found that the story was different from what she thought. The names and surnames did not seem to be made up. She took out her mobile phone and checked online, and found that she could indeed find the story from nearly twenty years ago.
Although there is not much old news, it seems that there is not much discrepancy with what the driver said.
Is it really true?
She rolled her eyes, regardless of whether it was true or false, and handed the phone directly to Fuyumi: "Dwarf Winter Melon, it seems to be real. Look, there is also a photo of Araki Yue."
Fuyumi took a glance and found a girl with an elegant and quiet posture, with a sweet smile on her face. Suddenly her heart tightened again, she tilted her head and looked out the window, and said angrily: "Why am I looking at this? I'm not interested."
"Why do you keep asking if you're not interested?"
"I'm bored on the road, it's up to you to take care of it!"
Suzuki Noki smiled slightly and stopped talking, while Xueli took the phone, looked at it carefully, pondered for a moment and said, "Did someone force her to die to avenge the loss of her family property?"
He is a good man, he can take revenge even after his death, he has such a strong willpower, it is amazing!
The driver nodded and sighed: "We locals think so. In fact, the Araki family has done a lot of good things in the past. Unfortunately, we didn't help them when they encountered difficulties. Even Miss Araki's last wish was
Didn’t finish it for her…”
Kitahara Shuji was also a little fascinated by what he heard, and asked the driver: "Does it mean that all the people who split Mingshan at that time are dead?"
"Yes, Mingshan has changed hands several times, but no matter who buys it, he will encounter strange misfortunes. The more alert people find something wrong and quickly sell it, and the bad luck disappears. So now Mingshan is managed by the city government.
, the hotel is also franchised to subsidize Mingshan’s ecological protection.”
Fuyumi felt a chill run down her back when she heard this, but she couldn't help but ask: "Since all her enemies are dead, why does she still want to harm others?"
The driver glanced at Fuyumi through the rearview mirror: "Ningshan is the private property of the Araki family. To enter Mingshan, you need the permission of the Araki family. This is probably what Ms. Araki thinks!"
"We are just going to play for a few days. This should...should not be a big deal, right?" Fuyumi became even more worried. She felt that Araki Yue couldn't let go of her obsession and became insane and turned into a ghost. "We will stay for a few days and then leave. In the past, we Fuzawa
We don’t have any grudges against the Araki family, so she won’t care about us, right?”
The driver sighed: "It depends on how Ms. Araki views opening a hotel."
Fuyumi was silent and turned to look out the window. She felt a little scared in her heart. She felt that the Mingshan Mountain, which was originally filled with birdsong and fragrant flowers, suddenly revealed a hint of eeriness and terror. In the shadows among the branches and leaves, there seemed to be a pair of eyes that were wide open and could not be closed.
What should I do if I suddenly feel the urge to pee?
The topic came to an end here. The atmosphere in the car was a bit gloomy, and the driver took a long detour and passed through a rugged mountain road before arriving at Mingshan Hot Spring Hotel.
He helped Hideji Kitahara and others unload their luggage out of the car, then sat back in the cab. He glanced at the name Hideji Kitahara signed for his daughter, and then at the gate of Narushan Hot Spring Hotel, and couldn't help but tell him
Said: "This used to be the Araki family's villa, but now it has been renovated into a hotel. Kitahara players should be careful. If anything happens, it is better to leave early."
After saying that, he started the car and returned along the original road. Fuyumi stretched out her little hand, as if she wanted to stop him, but she didn't make a sound. She turned around and looked at the Naruyama Hot Spring Hotel, and found that the decoration on the front was indeed new.
, but it seems that through these brand-new decoration materials, you can smell the sense of age-old corruption and deep resentment at the bottom...
Suzuki Noki dragged her suitcase past her and asked with a smile: "What are you doing standing here, short winter melon, it's time to go in."
Fuyumi looked away from Narushan Hot Spring Hotel, looked around again, and said dissatisfied: "What's the hurry? I was just observing whether it's worth spending a few days here... It doesn't feel interesting here, it's just an ordinary mountain.
If ordinary trees don't work, let's go to the hot springs in Shizuoka as originally planned. There is also a forest park and a memorial hall there, which I think will be more interesting."
Xueli was carrying half of the family's luggage and had already walked out for several steps. She turned around and said strangely: "We are all here, sister. The uncle just said that the venison here is very delicious. At least try it before going anywhere else."
Bar?"
Suzuki Nozomi looked at Fuyumi with a smile: "Short winter melon, are you scared after hearing a ghost story?"
Fuyumi was stunned for a moment, then laughed up to the sky and said disdainfully: "Am I afraid? You're kidding!"
"If you're not afraid, then go in!"
"You don't need to use provocation. I won't do this. Just go in!" Fuyumi swallowed, dragged her suitcase and strode forward on her two short legs, with Hideji Kitahara accompanying her.
, I looked at the hair on the top of her head. It was difficult to observe the girlfriend’s facial expression. I couldn’t tell whether she was scared or not, but she still comforted her: “There are no ghosts in this world. Just relax and play.”
It's just feudal superstition, not worth mentioning. Even if he came through time, he wouldn't believe it. He thinks there should be some scientific explanation, but human scientific research has not yet touched on this field, and it is currently a mystery.
Fuyumi raised her head and glanced at him, then immediately tilted her head and muttered: "If there is no other world, then what's the point of sacrificing mother four times a year?"
She believes this. If she doesn't believe it, her mother will never be here again.
This is a matter of personal belief. Kitahara Shuji did not want to force Fuyumi to change his mind. After thinking about it, he smiled and said: "Okay, even if there is, it doesn't matter. We usually behave upright and have never hurt others.
If you have done something bad, then even if there is a ghost, there is nothing to be afraid of, right?"
If you sit upright and live up to your true intentions, you will naturally be upright. If there is a ghost, Kitahara Shuji would even want to chat with her and learn about another world if it really exists!
But Fuyumi remained silent. It’s true that we are good people, but the problem ghost is not necessarily a good ghost! If we don’t harm the ghost, what if the ghost becomes crazy and becomes a powerful ghost and comes to harm us out of nowhere?
People are not afraid. He is here, this kid is here, and the idiot sister is here. A madman will push him to the ground and beat him into a pig's head in seconds, but there is an unreasonable ghost, how to beat him?
She looked back at her brothers and sisters and found that none of these guys paid attention to what they heard on the road. Except for Haruna who was observing the furnishings in the hotel, the other bastards were all laughing heartlessly. It felt like
It's the same as "send to death".
It's like this in horror movies. There are so many omens that are shocking, but everyone turns a blind eye as if they've eaten two kilograms of brain fragments, lining up to die, and only after several people have died do they understand. At this time, they can't even run away.
That's too late!
Now she feels that their family has a bit of this smell, should they be destroyed?
In horror movies, there is usually only one person with an above-average IQ. Fuyumi felt that she was the only one with a clear mind, but at this moment, there was really no way for the whole family to turn around and rush to Shizuoka. If she said that this place is so scary, she would definitely be laughed at by the stinkers.
dead.
When she was distracted, suspicious, and unable to make a decision, the female general of this hot spring hotel had already led the maids to welcome her out, and said very warmly: "Welcome, guest!"
Kitahara Shuji responded politely: "Hello, I am Kitahara and I have an appointment."
He directly showed the invitation ticket, and the female general took the invitation ticket after a deep bow, and then smiled without looking at it: "Ms. Takeda has already called, let us entertain you well, please come in."
The maids acted well and quickly placed a row of short-tooth clogs at the entrance to the entrance. They also took over everyone's luggage. Kitahara Shuji also took off his shoes and put on the clogs. At the same time, he said politely: "What is your name?"
"I'm sorry, my surname is Ayukawa. If anything happens, please just ask me."
"Then Mrs. Ayukawa, please take care of me during this period."
Kitahara Shuji finished being polite with the actual manager of the hotel, and then went to see the guest rooms together. Along the way, Ayukawa enthusiastically introduced the facilities and services of the hotel, but Fuyumi followed behind for a while wearing small clogs, and felt that there was no movement in the hotel.
He couldn't help but whisper to the maid: "Excuse me, um... aren't there many guests now?"
This is summer vacation, which should be one of the peak tourist seasons. Why does it feel as quiet as a cemetery?
"Do you feel it's too quiet? I'm really sorry. In fact, we are in the trial operation and you are the first batch of customers. However, we will definitely provide you with the most appropriate service. Please don't worry." The maid answered very professionally.
Quality, Fuyumi also works in the service industry, and she can't be picky about this kind of service attitude, but she can't help but feel a little creepy, like being in a horror movie, the rhythm of the first batch of customers dying.
To be honest, if she had come by herself, she would have turned around and found a car to go down the mountain and go home. But now that there are so many people coming, she cannot make a willful decision alone...
As she walked, she carefully observed the surrounding situation, trying to find something wrong, so as to let everyone understand that our current situation was not good, and when she followed everyone to the guest room corridor, she really found something wrong and pointed out
Looking at both sides of the porch, they exclaimed, “What is that?”
