After walking along the road for more than an hour, almost over the entire hill, Xue Dingbang and Chris Maeda came to the door of Yamada's house.

Maeda's house was built halfway up the mountain, on top of the mountain, and the fields were all on the slope.

The Yamada family was built in a mountain depression, the surrounding terrain is relatively flat, and the fields are wider and flatter.

They stood at the gate of a very ordinary farmyard.A wooden sign on the wall says "Yamada".

Maeda Chris's big brother Kuan was cleaning fallen leaves in the yard. When he saw Xue Dingbang and Maeda Chris coming, his dark face was full of smiles.

"Ah, welcome, welcome!" Hiroshi Yamada threw away his broom, bowed his head to Xue Dingbang and Maeda Chris, and nodded, "Maeda, you are here! Also, this... Mr. Xue, right? I heard Grandma Narita talk about it And you!"

Xue Dingbang nodded to him, and offered the snack box in his hands.After Yamada Hiroshi expressed his gratitude, he took them into the house.

A woman about the same age as Hiroshi Yamada was setting the table and chopsticks, and there was a little boy about five or six years old beside her.

The man sitting in the host's seat has gray hair and is in his fifties.

"Please sit down." The woman knelt on the futon, nodding and smiling at them.She took the child away with one hand, and took the snacks from Hiroshi Yamada's hand with the other.The action is swift and neat.

Mr. Yamada is very serious, with a kind of calm and prestige temperament.

"Ah Fu, sit down." Mr. Yamada said, "Don't be too formal, but I need to ask you for some things."

Chris Maeda nodded and sat in the host and guest seats, Xue Dingbang consciously took the accompanying guest seat.After the guest and the host exchanged pleasantries, Mr. Yamada poured Xue Dingbang a glass of wine, but his eyes fixed on Chris that day: "Ah Fu, what are your plans when you come back this time?"

"I don't know." Chris Maeda curled his lips, and glanced at Hiroshi Yamada who was sitting in the host's seat, "I...haven't made up my mind yet. Grandpa forbids me to sell the land and the house, which is clearly stated in his will. "

The expression on Hiroshi Yamada's face was a little awkward. He and Mr. Yamada looked at each other, and hissed a few times guiltily: "That's true. However, before he was hospitalized, all the things he planted rotted in the ground. At least the There are no spoiled vegetables, and the fruits on the trees are harvested well, right?"

"Those are all food!" Mr. Yamada took a sip of his wine and spoke with great anger, "It's shameful to waste food!"

Chris Maeda shrugged his shoulders: "Who says it's not? I'll start harvesting tomorrow, try to pick off the good parts. But I don't know where to sell them, and we can't finish them. Brother Kuan, would you Tell me who buys vegetables in bulk?"

"Of course it's the Narita family!" Hiroshi Yamada scratched his head and smiled honestly, "Their family opened a hotel in the town, and the vegetables and fruits used in the kaiseki cuisine are all serious Karuizawa fresh fruits and vegetables! Narita Chain hotels, hot spring hotels, and rental villas are our main sources of customers. In addition, there are vegetable shops in the town, and they are also in great demand."

Mr. Yamada coughed a few times, then changed the subject and said, "Ah Fu, I heard Mrs. Narita say that you don't want to farm."

"Yeah, I don't want to farm." Chris Maeda shook his head, squinting at Mr. Yamada, "but I don't plan to sell the land either. Mr. Yamada talked with my grandfather for so long before he was unwilling. You told me the same!"

"Wu Zuo is gone! Isn't it a waste of uncultivated land?" Mr. Yamada began to be persuasive, with a very sincere attitude, "Maeda, I heard that you owed debts outside, don't you need money?"

"Yeah, I'm in debt, but it's a love debt!" Maeda Chris blinked, looking at the sizzling beef cooking in the pot, without any appetite. "Even if grandpa isn't here, he'll be watching me from the sky, right?"

"Look, there are two pieces of land in Maeda's house. Let's not talk about the one on the mountain. The land below the mountain is next to ours. There is only a boundary stone between them, and it is on the side of the Land Bodhisattva." Yamada The old man took a long sip of wine, and his dissatisfaction was already revealed in his words, "This year Wu Zuo is sick, it's fine that he didn't take care of the field, and he didn't even hire someone to take care of it! In summer, the wheat in his field is sick and infested with insects! It's all coming to us!"

Maeda Chris looked at Hiroshi Yamada, and looked at him with questioning eyes.

Hiroshi Yamada scratched his head, and said with some embarrassment: "I took a lot of effort to control it, but the wheat field of Maeda's family was not kept."

"Our family has also reduced production, and we have lost a lot!" Mr. Yamada said, "Farmers eat a bowl of hard-working rice. The food we have worked so hard to grow has suffered disasters like this, and we are also very troubled! Your family If the land cannot be taken care of, why not give it to someone who can take care of it?"

Chris Maeda rested his chin with one hand and remained silent.

The land in the col, no matter the climate or the fertility of the land, is enough to make the Yamada family covet.

He heard from the old people in the village that the land originally belonged to the Yamada family.

Because there was an accident in the family when Mr. Yamada was young, he sold a part of it to Takesaku Maeda, the grandfather of Chris Maeda.Later, Mr. Yamada always wanted to buy this piece of land back and let that piece of land return to the hands of the Yamada family, but he has never been able to do so.

The dinner was so unpleasant that Chris Maeda seldom even moved his chopsticks.At first, he would say a few perfunctory words because Mr. Yamada is an elder.

But Mr. Yamada's eagerness and obvious motives made Chris Maeda more and more impatient.

In the end, Maeda Chris simply responded with silence.

After dinner, it was completely dark.Holding a flashlight borrowed from Hiroshi Yamada, Chris Maeda and Xue Dingbang walked hand in hand on the road in the countryside.

The starry sky in Karuizawa's countryside is not like the desolation and grandeur of Captain's Peak, but there is no warmth and tranquility in Captain's Peak.How prosperous and beautiful the starlight in the sky is, it is also another wonderful scenery.

"Chris, why didn't you tell me first?" Xue Dingbang tightened his hands, and took Maeda Chris to his side.

The old man in the family died, and the only heir was nineteen years old, not considered an adult in Japan.The fields, houses and hillsides of this family... will inevitably not be coveted by the villagers with evil intentions.

When he first arrived in Karuizawa, Xue Dingbang just wanted Chris Maeda to feel the warmth of his hometown and build a good relationship with his neighbors.Now it seems that he is too self-righteous, never thought that Chris Maeda knew this small mountain village better than him.

"Because Dingbangsang wants to go." Maeda Chris smiled nonchalantly, "Actually, I don't really care what the villagers say. The villagers will die of old age on this land, but I won't. My destination It will not be in the mountains. Maybe I will come back when I am old, but I am still young now."

"Then what are you going to do?" Xue Dingbang asked, "Since you don't plan to sell the houses and fields, what are you going to do with them?"

Chris Maeda raised his head, looked at Xue Dingbang seriously, and the stars in the sky fell into his eyes: "In fact, I have already thought about it! The piece of land next to the Yamada family, I will not sell it, but I didn't say no." You can rent it! My family’s house, the Narita family has always wanted to build a hot spring hotel there! I won’t sell it, if they want, they can also rent it from me!”

Speaking of this, Chris Maeda squinted his eyes and rubbed happily on Xue Dingbang's arm: "The house and the land are still in my hands! But I can get rent every month! I am only 19 years old , Let’s plan for me to live to be 80 years old! I still have 61 years to collect rent! Before I die, I will definitely receive more rent than if I sold it all at once!”

"Oh, little charterer." Xue Dingbang pinched his cheeks, the little calculations in Xiao Mitang's heart are not annoying at all, and the way he crackles his little calculations is rather cute, "You It is said that the Narita family wants to build a hot spring hotel here, where does the hot spring come from? We have to boil hot water for bathing."

Xiao Mitang blinked her eyes, grabbed Xue Dingbang's hand, and said very seriously and sincerely: "Yes! There is an open-air hot spring on the top of the mountain! Dingbangsang wants to go? If you want to go, I will take you there! This season is actually just right, you can see the red leaves during the day and the stars at night. Get some food, and you can soak in the hot springs while watching the stars, drink some wine and eat some pickled vegetables or something."

Seeing what Chris Maeda said happily, Xue Dingbang could only follow his words and say, "Okay, let's go now."

"Go home and get the bathrobe!" Maeda Chris jumped up happily, grabbed Xue Dingbang's wrist and ran away, "Dingbang, Dingbang! I can't wait! We have to run!"

Holding hands and running all the way home, Maeda Chris didn't care to catch his breath, and hurried to get his bathrobe and toiletries, and put everything into the bathtub.

Xue Dingbang made some quick dishes, and took some food that could be eaten immediately from the refrigerator, and put them in the food box.

The two of them were ready to stop, and it was already midnight.But this did not affect Chris Maeda's high spirits.

He didn't feel sleepy, and he dragged Xue Dingbang up the mountain with the windbreak lamp in hand.

The night wind blew through the mountains and forests.

Walking at night in a secluded forest is actually a bit dangerous.But Chris Maeda didn't care at all, and muttered that if only he saw some more matsutake families somewhere.

Xue Dingbang climbed to the top of the mountain with Chris Maeda who was familiar with the road, and he saw a hot air.

Maeda Chris said it was the "top of the mountain", but it was actually just the peak of this small hill.Go up the slope behind the mountain bag, and there are even higher mountains.

The continuous mountains are like a splash-ink painting in the night.

Even in the dark, relying only on the lighting of the windbreak lamp, you can see the beauty of this mountaintop hot spring.

The hot spring hidden among the mountains and rivers is full of white mist, like an oasis in the desert and a peach blossom garden in the secular world.

It is isolated from all mundane worlds, and in the bustling and crowded world, it comes with a piece of tranquility and comfort.The vast starry sky above your head overlooks the lights of thousands of houses in Karuizawa Town.

"It's like a secret base, right? When I was a child and lived in the country, I used to come here often. When I was bullied, scolded by my grandfather, beaten or abandoned by my mother, I will always come here." Maeda Chris smiled and began to take off his clothes, splashing water on himself with the wooden bucket he brought, "Nuanjiang is my secret friend, and I am willing to share it with Dingbangsang! You have to take off your clothes to get rid of it." Go in, don't take towels in!"

Secret base?

It's like... the tree cave in the back mountain that Yin Ren and Xue Dingbang used to go to when they were young...

At that time, Xue Dingbang also had any troubles, so he hid in that tree hole...

Before Xue Dingbang recalled more of the past, he was awakened by the action of Chris Maeda unbuttoning him.

Xue Dingbang grabbed the hand of Chris Maeda who was unbuttoning his shirt, and asked in a deep voice, "Chris, what are you doing?"

"I've thought of this for a long time, Dingbang." Maeda Chris panted softly, winking like silk.He stepped on Schrödingbang's shoes, tiptoed and kissed Schrödingbang's chin, "There will be no one here. This is the secret base for the two of us. Before it is made public here, we can all enjoy it alone."

Xue Dingbang pushed Chris Maeda away in a calm manner: "Let's warm up first, it's quite cold."

"Dingbang! Hug me in the hot spring! I want you to hug me!"
