Chapter 139 Staying together (12)
“What? What do you mean you want to stay here?”
In the hotel, everyone looked at Ono Hina in surprise. It was the fourth day after arriving in the village. When everyone thought that Ono Hina had gotten rid of the gloom of last year and became cheerful again, she suddenly made a shocking declaration.
"What's wrong with everyone?" Ono Harina smiled and said: "Isn't the reaction too big?"
Suzuki adjusted his glasses and said: "There is nothing we can do about this. , Ono-senpai, you finally cheered up and suddenly said that you wanted to stay here, which is really hard to ignore.”
Everyone nodded in unison.
"I figured it out." Ono Harina said: "Actually, I have long been tired of school life. I was like that when I first entered school. I just dressed up a little more fashionably and didn't want to follow the rules. As a result, some bad rumors were spread, making everyone look at me like that, even some teachers, it’s so disgusting!”
Heita Inuyama said: “But it’s too much to do this. Is it sudden?"
"Yes." Miyamoto Yushi said anxiously: "It's just some rumors. There is no need to abandon your studies and go to a village like this, right?"
Ono Harina sneered: "What do you mean 'just some rumors'? After I returned to school last year, those rumors became more and more exaggerated. They actually said that I was toyed with outsiders and ended up in the hospital... Even if I lost my hair After dyeing my hair and wearing my school uniform properly, they would only say that I was pretending to be innocent! I’m tired of that kind of place!”
Komaeda Yui was a little flustered and did not dare to look directly at Ono Hina. She seemed to have spread these rumors.
"Then your parents..." Sato reminded: "They won't let you do this, right?"
"That's right!" Miyamoto Yushi said: "Your parents What's their explanation?"
At this point, I thought it would be difficult for her to refute, but Ono Haruna squatted down with her face covered, and broke down and cried: "They didn't do it at all. They care about me and don’t understand me... No matter what happens, they will only blame me... No matter what I become, they will not care..."
"That..." Suzuki said: " Senior Ono is a little excited now, so I'll send her back to her room first." She helped the crying and emotionally broken Ono Hina back to the girls' room.
Miyamoto Yushi said with some distress: "Really... I thought Ono-san's personality has changed back to what it was before. Why did it suddenly happen like this?"
"Actually, it's understandable." Kawasaki suddenly said .
Everyone looked at him, Sato said in surprise: "Hey, Minister, how can I understand this? Suddenly saying to stay or something, this is too..."
"No, think about it." Kawasaki said: "Ono-san has actually been unable to stand the school for a long time. When she came here, she found that the atmosphere in the village was completely different from that in the big city. In fact, last year we didn't I haven't played any supernatural games, I just wanted to try my luck After the conference, she was still chatting and laughing with us, but she was found unconscious in the field that night... Maybe it was because she didn't want to face life in Tokyo, right? Sato, didn't you say that you envied the leisurely life in the village? Life? She must have thought so too, right?"
Omaeda Yui said: "But, Minister, what can she do even if she stays? Live.”
"This is easy to solve." Kawasaki said: "There are some abandoned houses in the village that can be lived in with a little repair. The old people in the village welcome young people to come back here, and they will help. As for work, there is no need Worry, you have also seen that there are many shops in the village that are short of manpower. Even if you just work in an izakaya, you can still survive..."
"What are you talking about!" Miyamoto Yushi grabbed Kawasaki by the collar and shouted: "How can you let Hina stay in such a ghost place?!"
Kawasaki said calmly: "I'm just stating the facts, and , This is not a ghost place, it is obviously a good village, and you are having a lot of fun these days, right? Don't forget who paid for your food and accommodation." "Hey, don't fight," Sato said anxiously. , want to separate them.
“Humph!” Yushi Miyamoto let go of Kawasaki and turned around angrily.
Inuyama Heita breathed a sigh of relief. If a fight broke out, he wouldn't be able to stop Miyamoto Yushi from the Judo Club. It would be great if someone could stop them at this time. By the way...where did Oto go? Why haven't you seen him since morning?
Qian Xiaoyi was outside at this time, holding a notebook bought from the grocery store in his hand. He followed the route depicted above and walked to a scarecrow in a field. He had been in the village since yesterday. Wandering around, collecting some information.
“I’ve never seen any old man wearing this style of clothes...” Qian Xiaoyi stared thoughtfully at the fashionable scarecrow wearing a short skirt and a yellow wig in front of him. Although the clothes on this scarecrow looked a little old due to the wind and rain, it could still be seen that these clothes should have been put on in recent years.
According to Kawasaki, only the clothes of the deceased will be used to dress up the scarecrow, but this set of clothes is a bit too fashionable. I have never seen any family choose this kind of clothes when they are buried. Lightly picked clothes.
Qian Xiaoyi took out his mobile phone, took a photo of the scarecrow, and then left the field, preparing to go to the next location. At this time, a group of villagers came towards him. Long Er, whom he had met at the grocery store, was among them.
"That's him." Long Er pointed at Qian Xiaoyi and said, "Uncle, it was this man who was asking about the scarecrow yesterday. I heard he seemed to be a foreigner." The others surrounded Qian Xiaoyi.
Qian Xiaoyi said: "Wait, please tell me if you have anything to say. I am not a suspicious person."
"Not a suspicious person? You are a foreigner, why are you inquiring about our village? "
"Those scarecrows are the incarnations of our relatives, what do you want to do to them?"
"I saw him holding a pen and notebook, drawing something on the mountain, and taking pictures with his mobile phone."
"What? So sneaky, is this guy a foreign spy? Maybe he came here specifically. Come explore our country "You are not welcome here! Come with us to the police station!" Surrounded, he raised his hands and said: " Misunderstandings, all misunderstandings! I'm just a foreign scholar who is curious about local folklore. How could I be a spy... Hey, don't push me, where are you sending me? My luggage is still in the hotel."
"Don't worry, we will get it for you!" An old man said fiercely: "Since you are not a suspicious person, just follow us! Let the police find out your identity, otherwise don't blame us for being rude."
Qian Xiaoyi sighed: "I understand, don't be violent, put down the sickle, that thing is very sharp... The police station, right? I will go with you, so that I can prove my innocence, right? By the way, this Is there a police station near the village? "
That night, Inuyama Heita finally received a call from Qian Xiaoyi.
"Brother Oto? Where have you gone?" Inuyama Heita asked strangely: "I made several calls before and you didn't answer it. Where are you now... What did you say? You said Are you in a police station two hundred kilometers away?"
