Chapter 157: The Journey to Find the Great Craftsman
One of the two major specialties here in Gaojing is the timber business. Business people in this line of business like to rush to the morning market. They use torches to select the purchased timber before dawn, and then load the car and set off just in time.
Go home, this way you won't waste a day.
After walking through the busy streets for more than ten minutes, Fang Linyan followed Hattori to the outside of Chiyoda Yadoya. Japanese Yaboya is actually a mixture of bars and hotels, and this hotel also opened Fang Linyan's eyes. Its main structure is actually
It is built in a cave.
After Hattori found a seat and sat down, he asked the boss directly:
"Abe-san, is Meiyaksha here?"
The boss said:
"Guest, you are looking for Mei...Ah, ah, ah, isn't this Hattori-sama? Long time no see! Yasha should be here soon, please wait a moment."
Seeing that he was recognized, Hattori seemed very happy and said with a smile:
"Then bring me a bowl of soba noodles, and by the way, give my friends here a bowl too."
As mentioned before, one of the two major local specialties is wood, and the other is buckwheat.
Probably because of the climate, water and soil, the buckwheat here tastes much better than other places! Especially the buckwheat noodles, whether eaten cold or hot, have a smooth texture and are quite famous in the surrounding area.
.
So much so that the soba restaurants in Kyoto have to be branded "Takai", just like many Sichuan restaurants in BJ have to be branded "Wanzhou Grilled Fish".
Not only that, Japanese soba noodles are even like Chinese glutinous rice balls and dumplings, and have formed a certain culture. Japanese people advocate eating buckwheat noodles on New Year's Eve and when moving, so the buckwheat noodles here sell so well.
.
Hattori seemed to really love this thing. After eating three bowls of noodles in a row, he even drank all the soup. But when Fang Linyan ate it, he felt that it was just like that, the standard of ordinary ramen.
, I guess this noodle has a hometown feel to Hattori.
After only waiting for about half an hour, Hattori touched Fang Linyan and whispered:
"Mei Yaksha is here, just give her the token and tell her what you want."
Fang Linyan was now relatively familiar with Hattori and couldn't help but say:
"Are all your ninja's tokens so unique? You actually cut off a monkey's paw to make a token?"
Hattori's expression changed and he said:
"Don't talk nonsense, this is a token made from the arm of our seventh-generation head of the family. At that time, he failed to practice a unique ninjutsu handed down from the Fifth Wheel House. As a result, he suffered a backlash and had to cut off his own strange weapon.
I changed my arm, and then replaced it with a prosthetic hand, but I didn't expect that it was a blessing in disguise that my strength improved..."
Fang Linyan said in his heart that returning to one's ancestors means returning to one's ancestors. You said it in such a tortuous and touching way. Of course, you can just think about it in your heart, but it will offend others if you say it out loud. So he changed the topic:
"Is it so easy to make a request to Mei Yasha?"
Fang Linyan was looking around to see who he was looking for. After waiting for more than ten seconds, he suddenly realized something:
"Ah! Hey! You haven't told me who Mei Yasha is yet, you bastard!"
As a result, after Fang Linyan shouted this, he turned around and looked at the seat next to him, and suddenly realized that Hattori must have activated his ninjutsu and ran away... Just as quickly as he turned his head, the person disappeared!
If this guy had such amazing physical skills during a fight, he would probably be able to beat Fang Linyan directly.
"MD, how much money does this guy owe this Mei Yasha?"
Fang Linyan cursed secretly in his heart.
At this time, there were almost a hundred people in the entire dormitory, most of them were eating noodles and chatting. On the nearby wooden platform, there was an enchanting woman singing a Japanese song about "The Incident at Honnoji Temple".
In desperation, Fang Linyan could only call the boss Abe, who was always smiling:
"I wonder who Mr. Mei Yaksha is?"
Abe's eyes stayed on the seat next to Fang Linyan, and he said in shock:
"Where's Hattori-sama!"
Fang Linyan shrugged and said:
"I don't know either. He suddenly disappeared five minutes ago."
Boss Abe suddenly showed an annoyed expression and sighed:
"I knew it would be like this... Every time this guy comes to eat for free when he has no money, he always disappears after eating!
This time I clearly promised that I would settle all the previous debts."
"Damn it, this guy Hattori looks so thick and big-eyed, yet he actually comes here to eat Overlord meals all the time?"
Fang Linyan was really shocked, but considering that this guy's EQ and IQ didn't seem to be very high, and he was also stubborn, it didn't seem unusual for him to be so mixed up.
At this time, he was also in a hurry. When he saw Boss Abe talking about him, he knew what the boss was thinking, so he immediately said:
"Let's do this. I'll settle his old debt. Boss, don't be angry."
This was what Boss Abe was waiting for, and he immediately smiled and said:
"Thank you for your patronage. Hattori-sama's previous bill was one thousand three hundred and twenty-three yuan. The four bowls of noodles you eat today are considered gifts from me."
After hearing this, Fang Linyan almost spat out a mouthful of noodle soup. Prices here are extremely low. Almost three bowls of buckwheat noodles only cost one yen!
Hattori, the best guy, bought more than 3,000 bowls of noodles here on credit?? This is really weird. But thinking about his previous behavior, he probably not only ate noodles, but also took them out and took them away.
There is no shortage of things to do.
After Fang Linyan sighed, he directly settled Hattori's old debt, and then said:
"Now can you tell me who Your Excellency Mei Yaksha is?"
Boss Abe counted the money handed over by Fang Linyan with a smile, and pursed his lips to the side. Fang Linyan raised his eyes and looked over, but did not see anyone who fit the image of "Mei Yasha" in his mind.
At this moment, a thought suddenly flashed through his mind, and he said in surprise:
"Could it be..."
Boss Abe smiled and said:
"Yes, there is only Mrs. Mei Yaksha here, not Mr. Mei Yaksha."
Obviously, since Abe said so, the Mei Yasha that Fang Linyan is looking for is none other than the charming woman who performed Japanese songs above...
At this time, Fang Linyan suddenly realized that Hattori was probably not running away for the debt owed by Boss Abe. This guy owed at least thousands of bowls of noodles. What was there to be embarrassed about? He was afraid that he had some trouble with this woman and owed him
It’s true that you paid a huge overnight fee!
With no choice, Fang Linyan waited patiently for Mei Yasha to finish singing, and found that this woman looked quite sweet, especially the dimple on her cheek, which made her smile quite heart-warming. However, upon closer inspection, the crow's feet and nasolabial folds were very obvious.
, obviously he is not young anymore.
At this time, Abe stepped forward and said a few words to Mei Yaksha. Mei Yaksha was also a little surprised, glanced at Fang Linyan, and then left slowly.
After a few minutes, Abe came over to invite Fang Linyan, and then took him to a dormitory. He found that Mei Yasha was already waiting inside. She had already put on a loose dress, and she still looked quite charming.
of.
After Abe left and closed the door, Fang Linyan looked at the surrounding situation and suddenly felt that it looked familiar. An inexplicable garbled code suddenly appeared in his mind: ofje-104. He shook his head and threw these strange things behind his mind.
When he was about to speak, Mei Yasha suddenly smiled and said:
"Do the guests want to have a good time, or stay the night?"
Hearing this sentence, Fang Linyan almost stared out of his eyes. He still didn't know much about Japanese customs. Singers like Mei Yasha and members of troupes traveling all over Japan would also
Those who receive guests do so even after they are married.
However, Mei Yasha's status is different. As long as she refuses, no one can force her. Only those she likes can spend money to become guests.
"This old aunt still has some discernment. She actually covets my beauty, but why do I think snakes are more fun... Sacks, those who are close to vermillion are red and those who are close to ink are black. I am being fucked by a goat.
influence?"
Fang Linyan's mind was wandering with thoughts, and then he sighed, took out the token and handed it over:
"I am overjoyed that Madam favors you, but I have a close relationship with Mr. Hattori, and I really cannot be a fellow-minded person with him..."
After Mei Yaksha took the token, he looked at it and said in surprise:
"So you are a friend of that bastard Hattori. This guy said he wanted to marry me twenty years ago and said it more than a dozen times. Now he doesn't even have the courage to see me?"
Fang Linyan:
"...I really don't know about this."
Mei Yasha smiled bitterly, shook his head and said:
"Forget it, why did you come to see me?"
Fang Linyan said:
"I would like to meet the master of red ghost, Arai-den."
Mei Yasha said calmly:
"Another one comes to ask for a sword... I advise you to give up on this idea. As far as I know, Araiden has not made a sword for five years. He is now in a kind of situation.
The stage of deliberately suppressing your own inspiration is like a dam holding water."
"Therefore, everyone is waiting, waiting for the water to reach its peak, burst the dam, and spread the surge, before Araiden will take action. Because you are an acquaintance of Hattori, I am telling you so much.
.”
Fang Linyan's reply was also quite simple and rude. He just slapped a stack of Japanese yen on the table.
"One thousand dollars."
Mei Yasha's eyes suddenly twitched, but he hesitated to open his mouth to speak. Fang Linyan observed her words and did not give her a chance to think more. He simply acted as if he had taken out all the money in his pocket and said impatiently:
"One thousand six hundred and thirty-eight yuan! I don't have any anymore. Anyway, I'm just helping people."
Mei Yasha had never seen such a large sum of money placed in front of him in his life, so he grabbed it without saying a word:
"Deal! But let me tell you first, I only promise to help you see Araiden, and I won't care about the rest."
Fang Linyan nodded and said:
"As long as I can see this guy."
***
An hour later, Fang Linyan was already following Mei Yasha through the mountains and forests of Shinano.
When he entered a valley, he discovered that the mountains and forests here were dense, and the leaves of the trees were mostly dark green, and the clouds in the sky were low, making it very dark.
After arriving here, there was no road ahead at all, and it was quite difficult to walk. However, Mei Yaksha's performance surprised Fang Linyan, because she looked like a woman who waited on people with sex, but she walked like flying in the mountains, and even
You can also use tools such as rope hooks, and the traveling speed is not slow at all.
Seeing this scene, Fang Linyan immediately understood that Mei Yasha was probably a member of the Ninja Army back then, and the bad relationship between Hattori and Mei Yasha started at that time.
Following Mei Yaksha all the way up the mountains and ridges, the paths he took were not ordinary. Then Mei Yaksha asked Fang Linyan to reach a big tree and pointed to an eagle-shaped rock path fifty or sixty meters away:
"Just wait here. In four hours at most, the person you are looking for will definitely appear there. Don't wander around. Once discovered, it will be difficult to tell."
After finishing speaking, Mei Yasha immediately turned around and left. Fang Linyan was at a loss when he saw that she had gone far away. But thinking about Hattori, he should be quite reliable, so give him more trust.
Of course, there was a long wait next, but Fang Linyan took out the machine gun from the bag and started to repair it. Once he got involved in such things as working on the machine, he would become addicted to it, and he would not realize how fast time passed.
.....
To Fang Linyan's surprise, four hours later, with an error of less than a minute at most, he saw a person striding over from a distance. This person was actually wearing an animal skin. He was short in stature, but had a strong physique.
, the whole person is like a cube.
Its arms are very thick and powerful, and they look like they can compete with Popeye. This is obviously the result of long-term forging and holding a hammer and swinging it. It is obvious that this is the right owner that Fang Linyan is looking for.
And this man walked directly to the eagle-beak rock, then... took off his pants and squatted down.
This scene made Fang Linyan stunned, but he didn't know that this master Arai had two quirks:
The first quirk is obsessive-compulsive disorder. Life is very regular, as rigid as a machine. If something is violated, he will feel uncomfortable all over his body, so Mei Yasha said that he will definitely be able to find him here in four hours.
The second quirk is mysophobia. I just want my living environment to be spotless. I have to bury my phlegm immediately, not to mention my excrement. Keep it as far away as possible.
Below this eagle-beak-shaped rock is a cliff, which is more than 20 meters high. A hollow hole the size of a washbasin was cut out of the center of the rock, resembling a toilet.
Arai can satisfy his mysophobia needs here. The dirt will fall directly to the ground more than 20 meters away, and he can get away as soon as possible.
Of course, only someone like Mei Yaksha, who knew it very well, could point out such a clear path to Fang Linyan.
After seeing the real owner at this time, Fang Linyan took a deep breath, got down from the tree, and quickly ran over to Arai's position, and soon appeared in Arai's field of vision.
