Chapter 894 The legendary Shura fieldThe time came to go to Onizawa Village.
The three of them met at the Snow King Ice City branch in front of Mika Station.
Suzuki Sonoko was carrying a luggage bag, looking at Conan who was carrying a schoolbag and following Xiaolan, and she said speechlessly: "I finally understand, every time we go out, you little brat always follows us, right?"
"I want to go to Onizawa Village, too!"
Conan looked like a child, grinning foolishly: "It's said to be like being in ancient times, I want to go and see it too!"
"..."
Yuanzi slapped his forehead, looking a little helpless.
This child seems to have a serious illness.
She looked away and looked at Huihara Ai who was following Fujino.
Let Ai follow. Even though she may act a little cold, she is cute and sensible after all, much better than Conan.
It just behaves strangely...
She always feels like a taciturn young wife who stays by her husband's side.
But after all, she is just a little loli.
It poses no threat to me at all!
Yuanzi thought so in his heart with confidence.
So, the original three-person group became a five-person group.
If we add the Ooka red leaves, it becomes a six-person trip.
…………
Everyone took the Shinkansen to Nagoya to meet up with Ooka Momiji.
When the three people met, the atmosphere suddenly became tense.
Fujino felt the change in the atmosphere around him, and suddenly felt as if he had unknowingly triggered a bloodless Shura battlefield.
He was so scared that he ran directly to a car rental company and rented an MPV.
Only Conan and Xiaolan were left trembling in the same place.
Onizawa Village is located in Gifu Prefecture, in the central part of Honshu Island west of Tokyo, and is surrounded by Fukui Prefecture, Aichi Prefecture, Shizuoka Prefecture and Nagano Prefecture.
It is closer to Nagoya and Kyoto, but farther from Tokyo.
It is precisely because Gifu Prefecture is close to Kyoto that Fujino thought of bringing Ooka Momiji out for fun.
only……
Things are inexplicably developing in the direction of Shura Field.
…………
A small town in Onizawa Village, Gifu Prefecture.
"The scenery here is very nice... It feels like going back to ancient times."
Carrying her luggage bag, Mao Lilan couldn't help but sigh as she looked at the surrounding buildings.
Onizawa Village is located in a forest surrounded by mountains. The top of the mountain is shrouded in clouds and mist, and there are streams around. With such an atmosphere, although the buildings in this small town have some modern decorations, it generally maintains a retro look.
"Well, it feels much worse than Kyoto."
Ooka Hongye carried a travel bag and looked around curiously: "But compared to Kyoto, the buildings here have a more rural feel... But it's not bad."
Conan couldn't help but complain: "So what's so interesting here... Overall, it looks like the first half of the 20th century, right?"
"This isn't Onizawa Village yet!"
Yuanzi crossed her arms and explained to everyone, "This is just a town. The real Onizawa Village needs to go a little further inside. Only then can we see that this village has truly traveled back to the ancient times in its ancient style!"
“So it’s just to create hype.”
Conan showed dead fish eyes, not understanding what was so interesting about this retro feeling, and complained: "It doesn't matter what the World Heritage List is. In the end, it's just like what Fujino said before, that they want to promote local culture, form a characteristic economy, and make the town rich from scratch and get rid of poverty, just like the American Island.
He continued, "But in the final analysis, the reason why this place has attracted so much attention recently is not because of the ancient village, but because of the ghost legend that began to circulate half a year ago."
"ghost?!"
Xiaolan was surprised that her magic resistance was zero.
"Ah, probably that rumor."
Fujino recalled and explained, "Speaking of which, several tourists saw the ghost of a child or something. I investigated it before I came here."
"Is there still... such a rumor?"
Xiaolan's face turned bad, and she looked at Sonoko resentfully: "So, Sonoko, you didn't suggest coming here to play because of this rumor, did you?"
"hey-hey!"
Yuanzi patted her head cutely and stuck out her tongue: "You found out..."
"Garden!"
Xiaolan let out a resentful sound.
"Regardless of the gimmick, a place like this is actually quite nice."
Huiyuan Ai looked around and said, "In this impetuous era, it's not a bad thing to still keep the slow pace of life in the past, or even settle down here."
“Yes, this is the tourism economy.”
Fujino chuckled and agreed, saying with emotion: "As the saying goes, green mountains and clear waters are as valuable as gold and silver. A good environment is the foundation for people's survival. We have grasped the pain points of contemporary life, attracted external economic inflows, and used our own cultural advantages to drive the local economy... In a place without characteristic industries, this is the lowest-cost development. But in the final analysis, it is because the local culture has characteristics."
"Hey, Fujino-kun, do you still understand these?"
Ooka Momiji listened to Fujino's words silently and asked in surprise.
"what?"
"That's the idea..."
Hongye pondered, "I have heard my grandfather talk about using the environment and culture to bring about economic development, but I have never heard of using the environment and tourism to make people rich like you do... but it feels very impressive."
"It's okay... just some thoughts."
“It’s just an amazing idea!”
Hongye chuckled, expressing her true thoughts: "If I let you govern a place, I'm afraid it won't take long for you to achieve results..."
Fujino waved his hand: "Forget it, I'm not cut out to be an official."
Fujino had long noticed that Ooka Momiji's family conditions were not ordinary.
After all, even the Minister of Foreign Affairs doesn't take him seriously. Isn't it difficult to let someone serve as an official in a local area and then gradually rise in status?
I'm afraid it's not difficult.
Under such circumstances, Fujino was even a little unsure whether the other party was joking or serious.
However, even if he was serious, he couldn't do it.
After all, his ideas did not fit in with the Japanese climate.
When it comes to cultural development and economics, Japan is actually the most skilled. For example, the macaques, hot springs, scenic spots, and various tourism industries are almost ruined.
The lower classes in Japan have no other way to escape poverty except to be self-reliant by using such tactics.
After all, the Japanese don't madly exploit the lower classes, and it's already pretty good that they use the spirit-injection stick on their subordinates.
Do you still expect a capitalist country to lead its people out of poverty?
Is it better if it doesn't exist?
"Cough hum!"
Seeing the two people in front of her chatting, Yuanzi suddenly coughed lightly, interrupting their conversation and reminding them: "It's getting late now, let's go to Onizawa Village quickly and put our luggage in the B&B I booked!"
"That's true!" Xiaolan glanced at her best friend, hesitated for a moment and agreed: "Let's put our luggage in Onizawa Village and then go out and have fun!"
"Yeah, I also think that the luggage really needs to be put away quickly."
Hongye nodded in agreement, agreeing with the two people's suggestions.
Hongye was well aware that she was an invited guest, so even though the eldest lady of the Suzuki family in front of her was her opponent, she still had to observe the most basic etiquette.
The most important thing is that I was invited by Fujino to play here, and I can't make him feel embarrassed.
not to mention……
Hongye lowered her eyes and looked at the shoulder bag strap pressing against her chest. She reached out her hand to adjust it, then moved her shoulders and whispered, "I brought a lot of luggage this time, and my shoulders are a little sore..."
"Is it because your breasts are too big that your shoulders can't bear it?"
"Hmph, unlike me, I never get tired..."
Yuanzi, who was standing by, was attracted by the two huge monsters and complained silently in his heart.
I was just complaining halfway when I inexplicably lost somewhere.
It was a complete loss.
"That's why I said in the text message before that you have to do some things yourself!"
At this time, Fujino stretched out his hand, lifted the strap of Hongye's shoulder bag, and complained: "Mr. Iori has to do everything. You should exercise yourself, otherwise your body will collapse in the future..."
"Oh……"
Hongye was stunned for a moment, then she chuckled and nodded and took off her shoulder bag: "Then thank you for your help."
'Can this be done?'
After coming back to her senses, Sonoko was stunned by the scene in front of her.
Her eyes rolled around, as if she was thinking about something.
After a brief moment of quick thinking, she suddenly gasped for breath, revealing a look of exhaustion:
"Oh, Fujino-senpai, I don't have the energy to do this anymore..."
"...?"
Fujino looked at Sonoko's exaggerated acting and silently asked a question mark.
No, listen to yourself, is this something a human being can say?
Miss Sonoko, a sunny and cheerful girl like you has no strength left?
Stop joking, okay?
Fujino's eyes twitched speechlessly, and he complained in his heart.
But in the end he still took Yuanzi's luggage bag.
Haibara Ai looked at Fujino taking over the luggage from Sonoko and Momiji, with a luggage bag in each hand and a bag on his shoulder. She felt it was a little funny for some reason.
It tells you to be so nice to everyone around you.
Are you feeling uncomfortable now?
Oh, there seems to be a vacancy on the other shoulder...
Huiyuan Ai lowered her head, silently glanced at her small bag, and then decisively handed it to Fujino:
"I'll leave mine to you."
Fujino: "..."
No, big sister, are you bringing your little bag too?
What I mean is, can we not do it alone?
Is this the legendary Shura field?
In the end, Fujino could only turn into a bag-carrying machine, walking slowly forward with large and small bags.
Xiaolan and Conan looked at Fujino's back and silently showed sympathy.
…………
The location of Onizawa Village is further inside the town outside Onizawa Village.
As soon as I entered the village, time seemed to flow backwards around me.
The surrounding buildings are indeed gradually giving people a feeling of returning to ancient times.
The road is made of hardened earth and the Gassho-style mountain-shaped houses with thatched roofs are neatly arranged on both sides of the road, giving people the feeling of entering a Pokémon Starter Village.
But to Fujino, it felt more like he had accidentally entered the set of Inuyasha.
"How is it? Doesn't it feel like going back to ancient times? Pretty good, right?"
Yuanzi put her hands on her hips, in front of a three-story mountain-shaped building, "By the way, this is the B&B I booked!"
“Is this actually a B&B?”
Xiaolan looked at the building in front of her with some curiosity: "I thought this was a scenic spot for display or something."
"Of course it's a B&B!"
Yuanzi turned around and spread his hands. "Although this place looks like a scenic spot, in fact, these old buildings are inhabited by people, and the houses around us are all B&Bs for tourists!"
"emm..."
Ooka Momiji put her index finger on her lips and looked at the retro wooden buildings around her, wanting to say something, but in the end she didn't speak.
To her, a Kyoto native who had seen many old buildings, this was just a small village in the countryside.
It’s like if you visit the Forbidden City often, will you still feel the same when you visit the Siheyuan?
Speaking of retro...
Kyoto is always better than here.
But after all, it was my future husband who invited me out to play.
Well, take the other person's feelings into consideration.
Ooka Hongye nodded secretly in her heart, feeling that she was increasingly possessing the qualities that a qualified bride should have.
"Is that right?"
As a Tokyo native, Xiaolan turned into a curious baby and poked her head into the door of the B&B. "Come to think of it, this seems to be a three-story building... and the space inside the room seems to be larger than the outside. Is it because of the large families in ancient times?"
"That's about it..."
Hongye glanced at the buildings in front of him and explained, "After all, it's different from a city like Kyoto. In a remote countryside like this, it's very difficult to go out in winter, so a family will live together. I've heard about things here in Kyoto. I heard that these buildings are indeed ancient buildings, but they are all villages formed by settlements that were moved here because of some engineering projects..."
"A mobile house?"
Xiaolan was stunned for a moment: "Can the house be moved?"
“Of course this old wooden house can be moved.”
Following behind the crowd, Fujino, who was carrying a lot of bags, glanced at the interior of the Yamagata House in front of him and explained, "Japanese architecture was imitated in China. Most of Kyoto's overall architecture is a replica of the ancient Chinese Chang'an and Luoyang buildings."
"The same is probably true for houses like this one built near Kyoto. It seems that the mortise and tenon structure is used, and the whole house is held together, so there is no need for a foundation. The lack of a foundation and the lightness of the wood used make the whole house movable... In addition to the convenience of being movable, it is also earthquake-resistant."
"Fujino is right, that's basically it."
Hongye took over the conversation: "In fact, not all houses are this big. Judging from the orderliness of the houses here, these houses should have been moved and integrated together for the sake of beauty, or to entertain tourists. Ordinary houses are generally not this big."
"So this is ah……"
Xiaolan nodded and said with a smile, "Miss Hongye seems to know a lot about ancient culture!"
"Of course."
Ooka Hongye raised her head slightly: "After all, I was born and raised in Kyoto."
