Chapter 274 Victims of the Tianming Fire(1/2)
"Kyoto?"
Okata is now asking a passerby who happened to be walking opposite him.
"You keep following this road."
The passerby pointed at him.
"Stay go, keep walking, and then you can see a village called 'New Ri'."
"You can see Kyoto after passing Shinrimura."
"Thank you!" After bowing deeply to the passerby to express his gratitude, Oba turned his back on his horse.
Following the instructions of the passerby, Ogata rode his horse along the dirt road under his feet and ran forward.
After nearly half an hour, wisps of smoke slowly emerged in Okata's eyes.
After discovering the wisp of smoke from cooking, Okabaya quickly knocked the horse off the belly with his heels again, driving the horse under his crotch to run faster.
Beneath these wisps of smoke, there is a relatively large village.
The villagers in this village do not seem to hate outsiders.
After seeing Okata running towards them, several old men who happened to be chatting at the village were greeted with great enthusiasm.
Okaba asked these old men and confirmed that the village was Shinri Village. After leaving Shinri Village and walking a little further north, you can reach Kyoto. Okabaya looked up at the sky.
It is now dusk and the sun is about to sink to the horizon.
Looking at the sun that was about to disappear from the horizon, Okabaya made a secret decision: I'll spend the night in this Shinri Village tonight.
On the way from Ouhara to Kyoto, Okata never walked the night road.
In such an ancient society, there were no lighting facilities in the wild.
In the wild at night, I really can't see my five fingers.
Walking at night is not efficient and dangerous. Instead of wasting your energy to walk at night, it is better to have a good rest and keep enough energy. Keep more roads during the day on the second day.
So during the days when I went to Kyoto, Okabaya always rested at night and never rushed to the night.
...
...
Okara took his horse and walked slowly in the village of Shinri.
Looking around, you can see hotels with various signs.
Wang Zehua and other hotels with various signs, Okata said intimately:
——It’s true as the old men at the entrance of the village said just now, this village is developing the tourism industry...
After just now, I confirmed whether the place was Shinri Village at the entrance of the village, and whether I could reach Kyoto when I left Shinri Village and went west, Okara chatted casually with these old men.
According to those old men, this Xinri Village was originally just an ordinary rural village.
But about 8 years ago, he took office as the head of a new village.
The new village chief was quite talented, and he keenly saw the biggest advantage of their Xinri Village - it was very close to Kyoto.
As one of Japan's largest cities, Kyoto travels to Kyoto every day, and there are countless travelers.
Therefore, the new village chief of their Xinri Village encouraged the villagers to open hotels.
With the leadership and encouragement of the new village chief, some villagers who had the time to open hotels opened hotels one after another.
The policy of "developing tourism" by the new village chief in Xinri Village is also quite effective.
Every day, many people don’t have time to arrive in Kyoto before dark, but don’t want to walk on the night road - for these people, Shinri Village, which has a large number of cheap hotels, is the best place to go.
Therefore, after the "tourism industry" led by the head of the Xin Village Chief, Xinri Village became slightly richer than before.
However, for some reason, Okao walked into every hotel in the village and was told that it was "full of customers".
Listening to the sound of "Come" after sound, Okata's heart gradually became heavier...
Just as Okabaya began to suspect that she might have to sleep on the ground in a hotel tonight, a kind old lady said to Okabaya:
Exchange good books and follow the vx official account. [Book Friends Base Camp]. Follow now and you can receive cash red envelopes!
"Sir Samurai, are you looking for a hotel with available rooms, right?"
Okata nodded.
"Then you keep walking along this road." The old lady pointed behind him, "You walk along this road to the end and you can see a hotel with the sign "He". It is Grandma Gao's hotel. Grandma Gao's hotel should have room available."
"Grandma Cake?"
"That's our nickname to the hotel's boss lady." The old lady smiled slightly, "because she likes to eat the specialty of her hometown Kusatsu - grandma cake, so we all like to call her 'Grandma'."
After saying goodbye to this enthusiastic old lady, Okao walked all the way along the direction the old lady had just pointed.
At the end of the road, there is a mansion with a 2-story high building, but it covers a pretty good area, with the sign "and".
——It should be here... Why do you always feel that this hotel is deserted...
While Okabaya was thinking in his heart, he slowly opened the door of the hotel.
There are a few candles in the hotel, so the light is still bright.
Just as Okabaya was about to shout "Is anyone?", he heard the sound of "twist" footsteps from far to near from the depths of the hotel.
In a short while, an old lady with a somewhat short figure appeared in front of Okata.
The old lady was wearing a light red kimono that had been severely faded, and a pair of white socks on her feet, which also showed that she was not very short in use.
Although the clothes I was wearing were already very old, both the kimono and the socks on my feet were quite neat and clean.
The old lady greeted Okayama with a smile.
After seeing Okata's face clearly, the old lady seemed to smile even happier.
"Hohohohohoho~~" the old lady covered her mouth and smiled, "The new guest who came to the door today is a young handsome guy. Mother-in-law, I have such good luck today."
"Good evening, you should be Grandma Gao, right?" Okata couldn't help but smile at Grandma Gao's unique opening remarks just now.
"Hohohohohohoho~ You know my mother-in-law, I'm so happy. Do you want to have supper here or stay?"
"Do you still provide food here? Then I want to have dinner and stay."
"Okay!"
Grandma Gao quickly quoted a price.
The price is quite cheap, so Ogata agreed very happily.
Under the guidance of Grandma Gao, Okabaya carried his not-so-large luggage and boarded the second floor of the hotel.
This hotel has 2 floors in total, and the functions of each floor are different - the first floor is the restaurant and the second floor is the hotel.
Integrated food and accommodation - the hotel has a complete range of functions.
But after Grandma Suigao climbed to the second floor of the hotel, Okata was surprised to find that he seemed to be the only guest in this hotel.
Grandma Gao, who was walking in front, seemed to notice the confusion on Okatsu's face behind her, and smiled and said softly:
"Customer, you're wondering why there are no customers here, right?"
"This is inevitable. After all, our store is located in a remote location, so the business has always been very ordinary."
Although Grandma Gao said this with a smile, Okata still heard that Grandma Gao said something mixed with a hint of loss...
...
...
After putting my luggage in my room, Okao followed Grandma Gao back to the first floor and prepared to enjoy today's supper.
There are not many dishes available in this hotel, they are just some ordinary home-cooked dishes.
Although the dishes provided are just ordinary home-cooked dishes, Grandma Cake’s skills are quite good. Even if it is just ordinary home-cooked dishes, Okazu still eats them with relish.
Because there is only Ogata, the guest, there are only Ogata and Grandma Gao in this hotel.
After serving all the dishes ordered by Okara, Grandma Gao smiled and walked towards Okara with a few pieces of strange-shaped pastries.
"Customer, come. Please use it."
"I didn't order this..."
"I'm my mother-in-law who I invited you to eat." Grandma Cake covered her mouth and smiled, "This is a specialty of my hometown, Ome Kusatsu: Grandma Cake."
"It's my favorite food."
“It’s also something I love to share with my guests.”
"It's rare to see a young and handsome guest today, so I'll invite you to have some! Come on, eat quickly!"
"You can't talk about being handsome..." Oh side showed helplessness.
"I think you are very handsome," Grandma Gao seemed to like to cover her mouth and smile, "Even if she is old, I still like to look at young handsome guys."
"This is very similar to my wife."
