The days of being a cat in Japan

The geographical location here is unique. The mountain next to it is not too high and does not look amazing. It is a dormant active volcano.

As early as decades ago, geologists had investigated the dormant volcanoes here, and determined that the geothermal resources here are very rich, and there are countless hot springs and hot springs.

After confirming that the volcano that had been dormant for a while would not be in danger of erupting, this area was listed as a key area for tourism development by the county government, and hot spring hotels sprung up one after another.

And because of the volcanic activity, the development here does not dare to be too drastic.

Therefore, at the same time of construction, the unique beautiful scenery of the mountainous area here is also completely preserved.

The hot spring hotel where Mr. Fujimoto and the others stayed is on the top floor of the entire hotel area.

It is very popular among tourists because of its superior location, less pollution and clean water.

Although the New Year's Day holiday has passed, but because it is still in the winter vacation, there are still many parents who bring their children to soak in the hot springs.

There are a total of five large pools in the public springs here, two indoors and three outdoors.

Due to the relatively cold weather, guests with children and the elderly have already filled up the two indoor soup pools, and even the outdoor ones are already full of people.

Mr. Fujimoto and the others circled around, and finally found a place at the outermost hot spring pool.

The location of this soup pool is relatively remote, so there are fewer tourists. Fortunately, they did not choose to come on Sunday. I heard that they could not book a room at that time.

After untiing the bath towels, everyone in swimsuits went down into the pool together, and then turned around to greet the animals in the house.

The golden retriever was the first to respond to the owner's call. It stretched out its tongue and had long hair flowing. It quickly swung its body a few times, leaped into the air, and then fell into the water.

The black feather of the crow that was originally parked on its head knew what it wanted to do when the golden retriever sped up.

So Black Feather flew straight up, then hovered in the air and fumigated his wings with the water vapor from the hot soup.

With a bang, Ah Zhong, who weighed sixty catties, fell directly into the hot soup spring, and the splashed water splashed all the people in the surrounding Fujimoto family all over their heads and faces.

As the shortest person in this group of people, Little Fatty Jiantai was undoubtedly the one who suffered the most.

The water depth of the outdoor hot spring here is 1 meter, and children under the age of 5 are not allowed to use it, and the height of Jiantai, who was measured last week, was almost 1 meters.

So when he got into the pool, everyone else was squatting, and he was the only one swimming, so only his neck and head were exposed above the water.

So the water splash made by the golden retriever Ah Zhong all splashed on the little fat man's head.

He spit out a few mouthfuls of water that accidentally got into his mouth, the little fat man squinted his eyes and stared at Ah Zhong, and when the other party happily swam past him, Jian Tai saw the opportunity and threw himself on Jin Mao.

Soon the loud laughter of the children and the excited barking of the dogs resounded through Tangquan Pool.

Xu Jie came to the edge of the hot spring pool with small steps, looked down at the edge of the pool, then stretched out a front paw, carefully dipped it in the soup a few times, and then left from the edge of the pool contentedly.

Well, it’s enough to just dip in the water. Soaking in hot springs is not within the scope of cats’ hobbies.

Mo walked around the hot spring pool several times, and found that there were too many people here, and they couldn't drive them away, so it decided to change places.

But as soon as it returned to Xu Jie, Mr. Hayakawa, the manager of the hotel here, came over with his mobile phone and asked Dr. Fujimoto in the pool, "Mr. Fujimoto, can I take a photo with the Great Sage and this big black cat?" ?"

Dr. Fujimoto, who had a towel on his forehead, replied with a smile, "You have to ask the Great Sage about this, as long as it agrees."

This is the first time Manager Hayakawa has met such a free-range pet owner. He also owns pets. He thinks that the two birds he raises are enough to be different, but he didn't expect there to be more powerful ones here.

But since the owner has already said so, Manager Hayakawa plans to give it a try, and he also wants to see if the raccoon cat is as amazing as it says on the Internet.

So he lowered his body, bent down, and asked the mobile phone that Xu Jie was shaking: "May I take a photo with you and that big black cat, my lord."

Hearing this, Xu Jie turned his head and meowed a few times at Mo, and then turned around to signal to Manager Hayakawa that he could start taking pictures.

Manager Hayakawa's eyes widened when he saw this, and he tried to squat behind Xu Jie and Mo, and found that the two cats were really obediently posing for him to take pictures.

As expected of a pair of CPs who are so popular on the Internet, they are really smart and understanding.

But when he saw the black cat, Manager Hayakawa remembered the sunflower-crested parrot he was attacked this morning, so he silently added another sentence in his heart: It's just too wild.

After taking the photo, Manager Hayakawa was very happy, and ordered the waiter here to bring a few bottles of sake with a lower alcohol content. He chatted with everyone in the Fujimoto family while drinking.

Xu Jie lay drowsy lying on the side of the pool where the soup could not be splashed. He was not very interested in the chat between Mr. Hayakawa and the Fujimoto family, so he breathed while listening.

Seeing this, Mo leaned towards it, arched it with his body and asked, "Ajie, I just saw a small road behind this pond, which seems to go up the mountain. If you are bored, let's go up and see, okay?" good?"

Hearing this, Xu Jie stood up, shook his fur and agreed to Mo's request. Anyway, it has nothing to do here, so it's better to go out for a walk.

Seeing the two cats walking towards the back of the hot soup pool one after the other, Mr. Fujimoto asked, "Mr. Hayakawa, where does the path over there lead?"

After hearing the words, Mr. Hayakawa looked at it and said, "It's the path to the top of the mountain, only this one, and there are a few small springs on it, but the location is too remote, so there is no value for development."

Dr. Fujimoto nodded upon hearing this, and then didn't ask any more questions, but continued drinking and chatting with Manager Hayakawa.

Seeing this, Manager Hayakawa couldn't help but asked curiously: "Mr. Fujimoto, aren't you worried about the two cats at home? Although the mountain road over there is not easy to walk, it is also suitable for humans. Cats are flexible enough. The steep mountain over there is actually nothing, and the cats may have gone somewhere after drilling around."

Dr. Fujimoto laughed and said, "Mr. Hayakawa, the reason why you ask this question is because you don't know the temper of our raccoon cat. The thing our great sage hates most is exertion, so there is a good way to walk it I will definitely not go on the road. You just said that there is a road up and down the mountain, so I don’t worry about them. The two of them have had enough fun and will be back in a while.”

Xu Jie, who was evaluated by Mr. Fujimoto as saying that he would never go to the road if he had a way, really walked obediently along the path that had been stepped on to the top of the mountain.

Mo, who was following behind it, stopped from time to time to sniff the air with his nose, as if he was looking for something.

When they were about to reach the top of the mountain along the path, Mo suddenly trotted a few steps, came to Xu Jie's side, led him to the left with his body, and said: "Ajie, there is a strong smell of water over there, let's go and see Do you like it?"

If the water is heavy, there should be a hot spring, but Xu Jie is not interested in soaking in hot springs, so he doesn't want to go there.

Just when Mo was thinking about what method to use to reject Mo, Mo said that the water vapor was very directional, and suddenly there was a monkey squeak.

Now, without Mo talking, Xu Jie ran over there curiously.

The road here is just like what Mr. Hayakawa said. After leaving the stepped path, the road becomes particularly difficult.

As a cat with a very good balance ability on four legs, Xu Jie has stumbled all the way, let alone people.

The closer the distance, the stronger the smell of water in the air. In the sub-zero temperature, Xu Jie could see a large stream of water vapor emerging from behind the stone.

After struggling to climb onto the rock, Xu Jie looked down at the monkeys soaking in the hot spring with their mouths widened.

The first one to discover Xu Jie was a little male monkey. After it found Xu Jie, it bared its teeth in protest at Xu Jie. After seeing Mo jumping up from behind, the little monkey quickly swam into the arms of its mother.

At this time, the big male monkey who was the head of the group also saw Xu Jie and the others. In order to ensure the safety of his family, the monkey king asked Xu Jie and Mo, "Cat, why are you here?"

Mo Wenyan looked at the hot springs where the monkeys were soaking, thinking that they had soaked in the hot springs before, and it seemed that he had to look for it again.But he said on his mouth: "We just heard a voice from here, and came to take a look out of curiosity. Since you are using it, we won't bother you any more."

While they were talking, Dr. Fujimoto shouted to the mountain by the hot spring of the hotel: "Dasheng, Dahei, it's getting late, come down for lunch."

Xu Jie, whose stomach was growling after running around all morning, immediately pricked up his ears, turned around and jumped off the rock while running back, saying, "Mo, hurry up and have lunch."

Mo Wenyan stood on the rock and raised his head, looking towards the top of the mountain, he felt that there should be a hot spring over there.

It's just that Lihua has the biggest belly, so it's better to go back to the hotel for lunch now, and we can talk about the rest at night.

Looking at the backs of the two cats going away, the female monkey with the highest status among the monkeys asked the monkey king: "That big black cat is the one that caught Aoi this morning, isn't it? Shuo Du already knew about this matter, now there is a good show to watch."

Hearing this, the Monkey King immersed himself in the water, squinted his eyes comfortably and replied, "That guy Du will never do anything to the pets brought by the hotel guests in broad daylight. But Aoi was bullied by other cats. It definitely won't be able to swallow it. Just wait, the hotel is designated to have fun to watch tonight, but unfortunately we can't go there, we won't be able to see this big show."
