[Net King] Bright Summer

The breakfast of Sanada and Tezuka is a typical local specialty food, boiled highland barley noodles with diced meat and dried vegetables, as well as cut into large pieces of dried meat and steamed cheese.

Probably because of the excessive exercise yesterday, Genichiro Sanada was not at all uncomfortable with the local specialties. He even ate two bowls of steamed cheese, and said to Tezuka: "Jerky is delicious, let's eat this at noon."

Compared with Sanada's good mood, Tezuka's spirit is a little bit bad. In addition to the physical reason of back pain, it is also because he has been thinking about the shining jade pendant yesterday.

Sanada gave Tezuka a bowl of cheese, rubbed Tezuka's hair, and said, "Don't think about the jade pendant. If you really care about it, let's go to the place where you buy the jade pendant and ask."

Tezuka Kunimitsu rubbed the corners of his brows, he didn't know why he cared so much, maybe last night was just a dream.

At this moment, a voice came from outside. Sanada and Tezuka looked at each other curiously. Only Tsering's family lived nearby. Who was it?

The voice outside seemed to be a child's voice, Tezuka Kunimitsu put down the bowl and chopsticks, and said to Sanada: "I'll go out and have a look, you should eat first."

Genichiro Sanada also stood up and said, "I'll go with you."

The two opened the felt curtain and went outside the house to have a look. There were three children wearing local costumes standing outside. The oldest one looked twelve or thirteen years old, and the other boy and girl looked only seven or eight years old. , and a tall plateau dog followed beside the children.

The three children were a little surprised when they saw Tezuka and Sanada come out. The youngest girl hid shyly behind the two boys. The two boys glanced at Tezuka and Sanada and talked in local dialect, as if guessing their The history of the two.

Sanada and Tezuka looked at each other. They couldn't understand the local dialect spoken by the children at all, and they didn't know why they came. Tezuka Kunimitsu pushed his glasses, wondering if they could speak Mandarin, he looked at The oldest child tried to speak: "... Hello."

The child glanced at him, froze for a moment, and then said in broken Mandarin: "Who are you?"

Although Tezuka Kunimitsu lived in this country when he was a child, his speech was still a little blunt. Coupled with the difference in appearance, the child could clearly tell that Tezuka Kunimitsu was not from his country.

Seeing that he could communicate with them, Tezuka said to the child, "My name is Tezuka, and I'm here for a trip, and I'm renting a house in Tsering's house."

Seeing this, the child nodded and said to Tezuka: "My name is Ningbu. When I got up this morning, I saw smoke coming from the chimney of Uncle Tsering's house, so I brought Laba and Sam over to have a look."

Tezuka Kunimitsu raised his hand and pushed his glasses, and invited several children: "Would you like to come in and sit down? We have cooked cheese."

The child named Ningbu hesitated for a while, and finally took Raba and Sam in together.

Genichiro Sanada had been standing by the side silently since just now because he couldn't understand their conversation. He glanced at the three children and asked Tezuka, "What are these children here for?"

Tezuka and Sanada went in with the children, and replied: "They saw fireworks coming out of Tsering's house, so they came to take a look."

After the children entered the room, they looked around for a while. Tezuka sat down first and said to them, "Sit down."

The two young children were a little embarrassed, and they didn't sit down around the fire hall until Ningbu sat down. Both Sanada and Tezuka were taciturn people, not to mention that Sanada couldn't communicate with the children at all. , did not say anything throughout the whole process, and the children were a little shy when they met them for the first time.

On the contrary, Ning Bu seemed to be the braver among the children. He asked, "Where did you come from? Did you also come to see Goddess Mountain?"

Tezuka served a bowl of cheese to each of them, and said, "We are from Japan, and we came to see Goddess Mountain during this season."

"Japan?" Ning Bu tilted his head, blinked his curious eyes and said to himself, "It must be far away."

The place is remote, and the children have very few opportunities to contact the outside world, and it is rare to go out once in a lifetime. He asked again: "Have you been to many places?"

Tezuka Kunimitsu didn't know how to answer the child's words, but he nodded after thinking about it.

After the three children finished eating the cheese, they sat around the fire hall to enjoy the fire. Ningbu talked to Tezuka Kunimitsu from time to time, asking for information about the outside world. Tezuka remembered that they didn't have much firewood, so he asked Ningbu; Know where to buy firewood for heating."

Ningbu thought for a while, then turned to look at the children named Raba and Sam, and said something in their local dialect. After discussing for a while, the children said to Tezuka: "Grandma Ade has stored a lot of dried cow dung. , you can go to her to exchange some."

Tezuka Kunimitsu knew that most people in the area used dried animal excrement to heat their fires, and he himself didn't think it was unclean, so he said to Genichiro Sanada next to him: "Ningbu said that you can go to their village to buy dried animal excrement. Feces to use."

Genichiro Sanada's face turned green when he heard this. You know, the fire hall is where they cook and keep warm, so it's a bit awkward no matter how you think about it.

Sanada said helplessly: "Can't we just buy dry firewood?" Although dry firewood is a bit troublesome to burn, it is still more acceptable than animal dung.

Tezuka Kunimitsu glared at him unhappily, he just told Sanada by the way, without intending to ask for his opinion at all, Tezuka turned his head and asked Ningbu directly: "Can we go buy some from her?"

Ningbu smiled and said, "I'll take you to ask."

Tezuka thanked him. After all, he doesn't know the local language. If he wants to communicate with local people, he needs Ning Bu's help to translate.

Since Ningbu was leading the way, Tezuka and Sanada didn't delay much, they directly extinguished the firewood in the fire hall, and followed Ningbu to their village.

After the two sides got acquainted, the children became more courageous. At this time, Tezuka knew that Laba and Sam went to school in the town. The school taught in Mandarin, and the two of them could communicate with Tezuka. Now Since it was summer vacation, I came back to the village.

It rained not long ago, and the road was a bit muddy. When crossing a bridge, Tezuka saw that Sam was a girl, and took her hand. Sam was a little shy, with a red face, and she pursed her lips. Said: "I am used to this road, and I will not fall."

Having said that, the hand holding Tezuka Kunimitsu did not let go.

Tezuka Kunimitsu nodded slightly, but said nothing.

Sam asked Tezuka Kunimitsu with a small face; "Did you make the cheese in the morning?"

Tezuka Kunimitsu glanced at Genichiro Sanada who was walking in front. He has been with Sanada for so many years, and the only thing this guy is good at is eel tea. He prepares most of the cooking here.

The little girl blushed, blinked her bright eyes and said to Tozuka; "You cook really delicious, only a little worse than my grandma."

Tezuka Kunimitsu was a little embarrassed, he said to the little girl, "Thank you."

Sam smiled and began to hum.

A few people walked for a while, and saw some old houses standing in the distance. Ningbu's dog had already rushed to the front. After Ningbu's introduction, Tezuka and Sanada knew that they Although this is a village, there are actually only five families, and the total population is less than 30. All the working people in the village have gone out to work, and now there are only a few old, young, women and children left.

After returning to the village, the children took Sanada and Tezuka directly to the home of Granny Ade, who looked about six to seventy years old, with a scarf wrapped around her head, and her bronzed face was full of chasms of time. When the children came in with two strangers, they were still a little surprised, looking at Tezuka and Sanada with scrutiny in their eyes.

The old lady didn't seem like a good person to get along with. When Ningbu told her about Tezuka's intentions, his face was full of displeasure. talking about something.

Genichiro Sanada saw it, and whispered in Tezuka's ear, "The old man seems unwilling, or we'd better go to the town to buy it."

Tezuka Kunimitsu didn't know what the old man meant, he said, "Let's see what Ningbu said first."

Ningbu was not angry at all when he was beaten. He pulled Granny Ade's skirt and begged softly. Finally, even Raba and Sam beside him begged Granny Ade together.

Tezuka and Sanada couldn't understand the children's dialect at all, but they could feel their kindness. There was a tinge of warmth in their hearts. Tezuka said: "Ningbu, if Granny Ade doesn't want to sell it to us, she won't." Relationship."

Ning Bu looked back at Tezuka, and said, "Grandma Ade will definitely be willing."

Then, he continued to plead with Granny Ade in dialect. Finally, Granny Ade finally nodded in agreement. Ningbu happily said to Tozuka and Sanada, "Grandma Ade is willing to give you cow dung."

Tezuka Kunimitsu breathed a sigh of relief, regardless of whether Granny Ade could understand or not, he bowed to her and thanked her.Ning Bu looked at Tezuka cautiously, and added: "Grandma Ade said she won't take your money, but she wants you to do things for her."

After hearing this, Tezuka Kunimitsu frowned, and looked at the old man, who even gave him a glare, with an expression of whether he loved it or not.

Tezuka Kunimitsu asked Ningbu, "What does the old man want us to do?"

Ningbu said: "Grandma Ade's grandson will get married soon, and she will build a new house for him." After a pause, Ningbu said again: "There are very few laborers in the village. Granny Ade asks you to help Make adobe, and I will provide you with a meal."

Genichiro Sanada and Kunimitsu Tezuka looked at each other, what should we do?What do the children mean when they talk about making adobe? I don't understand it at all.
