At this time, Jing Huang just wanted to finish eating quickly and go back to his room.
The current situation reminded her of what happened when she was young.
Especially that day...
No matter in the past, present or future, for Kitayama Jinghuang, only her brother Jinglong and Aunt Xingzhi are "family" to her.
When she was young, the concept of "adoption" was not very deep to her. To her, Aunt Xingzhi was her mother. In contrast, her brother only came to Japan during holidays.
Jinglong is more like a cousin, and his biological father and mother are more like uncle and aunt.
The days when she was raised by Aunt Xingzhi were the happiest time in her childhood. Because she was sterile, her aunt really treated her as her own child.
However, she could see that her aunt was actually in pain.
Not long after my aunt was born, Japan's economy began to rise, and the family gradually began to regain its former glory. However, for her, she had no desire to work as a shrine maiden.
Jing Huang remembered that every time she finished work, she would go to the Guhuo Bird House. Every time she came back, her face would be as pale as a sheet. As time went by, her aunt became a little bit more gloomy and painful, but only
Facing Jinghuang, she would show a little smile.
For her who could not have children and found it difficult to get married, Jinghuang was regarded by her as her biological daughter. Therefore, she only spoke the truth in front of her daughter. She said that she wanted to leave the shrine and immigrate with Jinghuang.
She went to live in the United States. She was full of hatred and pain for her current job. Thinking about it now, her aunt was probably in a state of depression at that time.
She later saw from her aunt's diary that her aunt had thoughts of suicide more than once. She thought about leaving this world, but every time she was worried about Jing Huang and was unable to kill herself. However, nothing happened.
The question is, apart from Jing Huang, my aunt really doesn’t have the slightest nostalgia for this world. To her, this world is a living hell. She wrote in her diary that compared to "those unclean things"
, human beings are much more terrifying. To my grandfather, she is not a daughter, she is just a tool that can be used to make money.
At this moment, the door of the restaurant opened. She raised her head and saw Dong Xie rushing in, and her thoughts were interrupted.
"call……"
Dong Xie came back panting, and sat back next to Dong Ning. The two began to whisper to each other. Jing Huang looked at all this and quickly looked away.
She poured a cup of tea completely into her rice bowl, then picked up her chopsticks and finished eating. Then she waved her chopsticks and said, "Then, I'm leaving."
"Wait a minute," Beishan Zhenxin looked over and said, "Sit down, Jinghuang. I have something else to say later."
"I have nothing to hear. If you are not satisfied...just kill me. Just like Aunt Xingzhi did."
As soon as these words came out, the entire restaurant fell into silence, and no one dared to make a sound.
Even Dong Xie and Dong Ning immediately calmed down and watched this scene. Dong Xie always felt that the internal conflicts in the family were no smaller than the haunting.
Kitayama Shinshin picked up a napkin, wiped his mouth, opened his mouth with half the teeth missing, and said: "Today's soup... is too bland."
The maid serving on the side said: "Yes, I'm sorry, Master Zhenxin, I will go and talk to the kitchen."
"Actually, I've tasted something lighter than this." Kitayama Shinaki picked up the soup bowl in front of him and said: "Back then, when the country was just defeated, the entire Tokyo was in ruins, and supplies were very tight, so
Even if it’s meat without salt, you have to continue to eat it in order to survive. However, times are different now, aren’t they?”
Everyone was extremely nervous and did not dare to express their anger. Everyone in the Beishan family knew the old man's temper very well.
"Hanabi."
Himura Hanabi quickly stood up and said, "I'll ask the kitchen to change a bowl of soup."
"Jinghuang." Beishan Zhenxin continued to look at Jinghuang and said: "Before resisting, you must first know how sharp your fangs are. If you don't have enough chips, don't easily imitate others to threaten. The so-called threat should be
How, I will teach you slowly in the future."
Then, the servants gathered around and said, "Miss, please take a seat."
Then, Kitayama Zhenxin looked at Pu Shenyu.
"It seems that it may have caused some discomfort to the new family members. Please forgive me. Our family ancestors were from the Satsuma Domain in Kagoshima, and some samurai traditions have been passed down."
Shen Yu looked at this scene, but said nothing.
Afterwards, the banquet continued, but the atmosphere became extremely depressing.
Miyu cut the wagyu beef in front of him and put it in his mouth.
Dong Xie once wanted to remind her not to eat, but he had noticed that Heimura Hanabi had been staring at him. He realized that if he dared to say unnecessary words, the consequences would be disastrous.
"Well, now, let me say a few words."
Then, Kitayama Shinobu began to speak.
"In today's situation, everyone knows what happened. However, there is no need to worry, the Guhuo Bird Museum is right there. We, the Beishan family, have inherited it to this day, so we don't have to be afraid of anything. All this will pass. But, from now on, until
After the situation is over, everyone must stay here. As for the wedding, we can only postpone it for now. I hope everyone understands."
At this time, Miyu put down her knife and fork and listened carefully to Kitayama Shinobu's words, but the taste of the meat she just ate was still in her mind.
The taste was completely different from the Australian Wagyu beef she had eaten in the past. No, it could even be said that it didn't taste like beef at all. Moreover, it didn't even feel that delicious.
How... was this meat cooked? It didn't look like beef, or any meat she had ever eaten. Was it some kind of game? Could it be that because of the coronavirus, game was no longer allowed, so it was deliberately called Wagyu beef?
"Everyone, it's time to understand, right? In addition, and the most important thing is that people who don't know the ins and outs of this matter should not ask me what happened. Although it is very rude, I have nothing to tell you.
.Even if you are dissatisfied with this, please restrain yourself.”
What kind of overbearing words are these?
Dong Xie thought, let them forget it. Pu Shenyu is the new granddaughter-in-law of this family, so they won't tell anything. Or will they tell her separately in private? However, Pu Shenyu is indeed a former resident of the apartment, and now it is too
Calm down.
Time passes quickly.
In the blink of an eye, it's already ten o'clock.
After the dinner, everyone was arranged to their respective rooms. Dong Xie and Dong Ning were arranged to a separate courtyard near the Luo Xinfu Pavilion where they were used to entertain guests.
The maids repeatedly stated that please do not go out and walk around easily. Finally, they also specifically stated that they are not responsible for anything bad that happens if you go out casually.
Then, he left.
Outside, the rain was getting heavier and heavier. Dong Xie had noticed that the water level in the pond inside the shrine had increased significantly.
This rain is likely to continue until the start of the Scarlet Mission tomorrow afternoon.
Dong Xie opened the window and looked outside. Some servants outside were still holding umbrellas and patrolling around in the heavy rain.
It was difficult for Dong Xie to predict the consequences if he went out easily. Their current situation was that they were under house arrest in disguise. But there was no doubt that they had no way to protest.
This shrine is already a dangerous place and cannot be any more dangerous.
"A Ning, we must be mentally prepared."
"Hmm... I guess so."
The two looked at each other like this, and then Dong Xie took out his mobile phone and tried to contact China. Mo Yuan and others had probably already set off to board the plane.
But then, he discovered that his mobile phone had no signal!
"It seems that it has begun."
What happens next?
On a rainy night, the torrential rain kept pouring down rainwater all the time. To the north of the shrine, in front of the Koho Bird Hall, there were more than twenty servants surrounding him, including Himura Hanabi himself. Everyone was wearing raincoats, waiting here like door gods.
.
The appearance of the Koho Bird House is a two-story building close to the style of the Heian period in Japan, and the front door is covered with seals.
Hinamura Hanabi stood in front of the people in raincoats and asked them to count.
"one!"
"two!"
…
"twenty two!"
Himura Hanabi nodded.
Time passed, half an hour later.
Himura Hanabi continued to look at the servants in front of her and said: "Count again!"
