He completed his first visit to the Kinkakuji Temple in a time that was neither sufficient nor rushed. Although he really saw the beauty of the Kinkakuji Temple, Xia Zhi still felt disappointed that he could not come here in the summer.
A little disappointed, maybe next time I have a chance I will come and see it by myself. When I enter my senior year of high school, I will have nearly two months of summer vacation.
When we returned to the hotel, it was almost six o'clock in the afternoon, and the sky faintly showed the feeling of dusk, a color that goes well with autumn.
Dinner was eaten together in the lobby, and it felt like a banquet. Although the menu only had relatively simple dishes such as bamboo fish and fried eggs, or just simple and crude curry rice, etc., the taste was still very good.
Not bad. The only pity is that Xia Zhi always felt that he had not seen a drop of the sake that was indispensable in such a scene, let alone drank it. It seemed that even the teachers did not have any liquor - but judging from their discussion
Judging from his words, they were probably going to the convenience store to buy wine and have a cocktail party later in the evening.
The food intake is a little less than usual, but I didn’t work today, so I bought a lot of things on the way back, such as some small souvenirs, postcards, and of course, some snacks. It felt like Kyoto
Baked rice cakes are sold all year round. Natsuki also bought a few steamed buns. Yamamoto Ryoko took two away and shared them with Shiraishi Rika. So I’m not very hungry now, but I feel like eating this meal.
It looks just right.
Natsuki specifically asked Teacher Shirai. Although students are not allowed to go out privately at night in principle, if they are only nearby, there will be no problem. After all, the study trip is to gain knowledge and cannot completely control the students' itinerary.
, besides, aren’t there still three days of free activities later? On the other hand, students who are already high school students already have a certain ability to act alone, so there is actually no need to worry so much.
Although the mobile phone must be kept on at all times, it makes no difference to Xia Zhi even if this condition is not mentioned - not many modern people turn off their mobile phones when going out. Xia Zhi made the following guarantee
Quietly I left the hotel alone and walked into Kyoto at night.
Perhaps starting from Kyoto Station, it looks different from ordinary modern cities, but a little away from large-scale activity centers you can find something different, like the fog of London, the neon of Hong Kong,
A unique charm walks in this city.
Unlike many other Japanese cities, Kyoto's modernization does not seem to be so "thorough". The occasional ancient buildings or antique-style buildings among the many buildings retain the ancient feel. For example, Beijing
The alleys and courtyards inside also retain a sense of history and culture.
The so-called scenic spots, in addition to the miraculous natural scenic spots, are the humanistic scenic spots brought by culture. Everything related to famous people, his residence, or footprints, or notes, and leftovers can all become
A carrier of spiritual culture. Although the colors of natural scenery are more pleasing, the historical trajectory of mankind can also bring a strong enough shock to people.
Different from the silence of Chiba, Kyoto is equally quiet at night, but the small shops parked here and there are very charming. If you don’t take good care of your wallet, you may overdraw your funds. Shopping is like this, you can only wait until the shopping is over.
Know how much you spent.
After walking around for a while, Xia Zhi saw a vending machine placed under the street lamp. After thinking about it, Xia Zhi walked over. After a closer look, from the perspective of an ordinary Chinese student, it was really a vending machine.
It’s incredibly expensive. Most of them are unknown drink brands. There are also one or two drinks that Natsuki drank in Chiba. The prices range from 130 yen to 150 yen. However,
A can of drink for 130 yen is only about 500 ml. You must know that 130 yen is almost 7.5 yuan. In China, the more popular drinks, such as Coke, cost 3 yuan.
If you get the same amount, or more, do you think this is incredibly expensive?
But Xia Zhi also knew that this calculation was actually a bit unreasonable. However, facing this kind of price that he should have been accustomed to, Xia Zhi sighed helplessly. He took out coins worth a total of 130 yen and put them in, and took out one
I didn't know the name of the drink in the can. I looked around at the deserted park and saw Xia Zhi sitting on the swing.
The swing specially designed for children is neither very high nor very wide. Xia Zhi is sitting on the board, stepping on the ground, his legs are bent, and with a little force, Xia Zhi starts to sway. It seems that he is
It was my first time to swing on the swing after many years. Although it was just for my own entertainment, the swing was not very high. Every time I reached the lowest point, it would occasionally rub against the ground. I was very angry, but there was nothing I could do about it.
No matter what kind of place has an ancient atmosphere, autumn is always a suitable season to experience this kind of ancient culture that has been diluted but lingers in this place like the air, and Kyoto is no exception.
I had just finished dinner and the night was still not deep. Occasionally, pedestrians walked by. Some were curious about Xia Zhi and took a few more glances. Some did not care about him and walked towards their homes. Some people saw him.
Xia Zhi, a big man like him, laughed out loud when he was swinging by himself. Xia Zhi gradually stopped his childish movements and just sat on the swing.
Autumn is still autumn, even in the alternation between summer and autumn, the slightest chill comes and it is quite cool.
I don’t know since when, darkness and silence can make Xia Zhi relax, but this is not autism, it’s just that he feels more relaxed when he is alone. There are many people like this, right?
Not very relaxed when there are people other than yourself? It’s quite normal. Not everyone likes to live in groups. In the long history, there are many celebrities who retired to the mountains and lived alone, so it’s not surprising.
Xia Zhi stared at the dim sky in a daze. For some reason, a "meow" sound suddenly came from the side. Xia Zhi came back to his senses and looked down. A cute-looking brown and yellow kitten was standing there.
She was circling around Xia Zhi's legs and was having fun. Xia Zhi was very interested in this kitten that seemed not afraid of people. Xia Zhi tried to reach out to catch it, but the kitten hit him while it was running happily.
After entering the ring formed by Xia Zhi's hands, he caught it immediately.
After being caught by Xia Zhi, the kitten did not make any fuss and looked at Xia Zhi quietly. Feeling interesting, Xia Zhi put the kitten on his lap and protected it with one hand so that it could not fall from his lap.
, the other hand unconsciously picked up the cat. The kitten lay on Xia Zhi's lap obediently, without resisting, and occasionally made comfortable sounds.
Ah... I feel like all the fatigue in my soul has dissipated, and my whole person has been healed.
But is this a wild cat?
Xia Zhi observed the kitten, but found no clues about artificial breeding on its body, let alone any decorations such as collars. It must be a wild cat. But although it is a wild cat, it looks very clean, maybe
There should be kind-hearted people taking care of them nearby. Don't think that wild cats will be left alone. Depending on where they are, stray animals may be treated differently.
For example, in China, if there are no exceptions, stray animals may really be stray animals in the true sense. As the most common pet species, stray cats and dogs are not uncommon in China, and there is still a lack of effective management measures. If
In European and American countries, there are facilities similar to stray animal shelters. They gather stray animals in the city together and wait for adoption by kind-hearted people...or euthanasia.
And there is a kind of charity activity that knows no borders: some people who like animals will take care of the animals wandering in the city to the best of their ability, such as providing them with some food, or giving them regular baths.
, volunteers often do this because love is something that has nothing to do with the country.
Kittens are very clean. I guess there should be people in this city who can take care of them. Stray animals have much better survival ability than domestic animals. They are more agile, alert, and more hostile to other individuals, so they can get stray animals.
Being favored by animals is a joyful thing.
Just like Yuntianhe III's incorruptibility in exchange for being invulnerable to water and fire, being loved by animals can be said to be proof of active good deeds in previous lives. You must know that in this life, in addition to family affection, love and friendship, there is also love for other living beings.
Is there anything more interesting than living in harmony with animals? If so, it must be because the cats you masturbate do not suck enough dogs.
Xia Zhi touched the cat for a while, but for some reason the cat suddenly trembled and then slipped away. Did he feel uncomfortable after touching it for too long? Xia Zhi sighed while thinking about it. There was no one around anymore.
, it looked like it was nightfall, it was time to go back.
It's a pity that I didn't think of taking a photo of the kitten at that time. It's not common for wild cats to be so close to people, and they are so cute. Maybe Xiaomeng will like it more. It seems to be quite good if I can take it back and raise it... But one day
I didn't spend much time in the apartment, and it didn't seem to be very good.
Xia Zhi gave up the idea of raising a cat.
Standing up from the swing, Xia Zhi habitually patted the non-existent dust and returned the same way. Although it was his first time in Kyoto, I have to say that modern life is indeed extremely convenient. As long as it is pre-loaded on the map software
Maps, even paper maps, are no longer needed. Except that it is not easy to use when the phone is out of battery, it is still very convenient.
Except when your phone is out of battery...
Xia Zhi looked at his phone with a black screen and looked confused. When did the battery run out?
