I Teach Kendo in Tokyo Chapter 68: Boundary between light and dark
Kyoto is one of the few cities that was not grilled by the barbecue master Major General Li Mei during the war, and the streets are full of old-fashioned atmosphere.
From time to time on the old streets, you can see Ksitigarbha statues and stone tablets with inscriptions hidden in the corners.
Some people often joke that if you have an accident while driving in Kyoto, it is easy to break into the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Education directly from the jurisdiction of the traffic police.
Of course, as an ancient capital, the roads in Kyoto are horizontal and vertical, and it is not easy to get lost.
However, this square road is particularly prone to traffic jams, and the traffic lights at each intersection aggravate the degree of traffic jams.
Many hours had passed by the time the Zishan Xiushu opened to the spot on Fan Ming's note in the mountain section.
Night has come.
This is 1980 and Japan is already enjoying this traffic jam treatment.
"Next, don't let your guard down. Remember what I said during the day, this ghost place is very dangerous to come at night." Shi Zishan Xiushu opened the door first and got out of the car.
The mountain section Fan Ming also got out of the car and looked around.
He found a guard box not far away, with a uniformed policeman standing under the lights at the entrance of the guard box.
"Isn't there a policeman here? The law and order shouldn't be too bad, right?" Shan Duan Fan Ming asked in confusion.
Shi Zishan Xiu Shu shrugged: "This place is a bit evil."
He looked at the policeman under the light as he spoke and waved.
The policeman was looking at the two of them and looked away when they saw the wave.
Mosquitoes are flying freely above the policeman's big cap.
Shi Zishan Xiu Shu made a gesture: "This way."
He stepped forward, and Shan Duan Fan Ming immediately followed. The two passed by the guard box like this, and got into the alley where they could not see their fingers.
The distance between the street lights is a bit large, and there is a dark night between the two street lights.
Behind the house on the left, you can see the outline of the mountain, but this is not a strange thing in Japan - the entire Japanese island, the Great Plains are just a few pieces, and the rest are hills and mountains.
The two of them chatted as they moved forward.
Shizishan Hideki said: "I heard recently that the street lighting system in Kyoto will be refurbished. By then, there should be fewer 'zebra roads' with black sections and white sections."
"Actually, I think it's fine..." Shan Duan Fan Ming just opened his mouth when the wind blew across the street, and then he heard a little girl singing.
Maruzhuyi Erashi Miike
Sister three hexagonal octopus brocade
……
This is a children's song widely sung in Kyoto, which records the famous ancient place names of Kyoto from north to south.
Fan Ming of the mountain section looked at the prestige and found that in the side lane, under a lonely street lamp, a little girl in a kimono for the festival of girls was playing a cappella while shooting a ball.
It's May now, and it's been two months since the girl's day.
Aware of this fact, Shandan Fanming suddenly felt that the red color of the little girl's kimono became unusually bright.
At this time, he suddenly heard Shizishan Xiushu's voice: "Shan Duanjun?"
Shan Duan Fan Ming turned his head sharply and found that Shi Zishan Xiushu had walked four or five meters away, and was looking back at him: "Why did you stop suddenly, Shan Duan?"
Shan Duan Fan Ming pointed to the girl singing next to him: "Aren't you surprised that there is a girl playing ball so late?"
He looked at the girl again and found that the girl had picked up the ball and held it to her chest, looking at him with innocent eyes.
"It should be the daughter of a nearby family. Many people here work overtime until late, and even their mothers have to go out to work in factories, so it is common for children to be left unattended. Let's go, we are almost there."
When Shizishan Xiushu turned his head and continued to walk forward, Shan Duan Fan Ming hurriedly followed.
The little girl holding the ball stood there and watched them both leave.
A black cat suddenly emerged from the shadows, with yellow eyes like two bright moons in the night.
The black cat glanced at the little girl, then quickly followed in the footsteps of the two who left.
The little girl stopped looking at the two who left, and continued to shoot the ball, singing while shooting:
Takamatsu Mangojo
……
Shizishan Xiushu confirmed the house number, turned back to Shan Duan Fan Ming and said, "This is the place, Chaofeng Village."
Shan Duan Fan Ming looked at the building: This is a very ordinary two-story apartment building, the kind of 1DK apartment with doors all opening in the same direction on the corridor. This kind of apartment is popular among Japanese college students and newcomers to society. Among social animals, it will be popular until the 21st century.
The stairs of the apartment are directly open to the air, and they look unmaintained for a long time, and the iron railings are already rusted.
"203." Shan Duan Fan Ming said, walking straight up the stairs.
As soon as I get to the second floor, I see a whiteboard with the garbage collection time.
201's house number is next to the whiteboard.
Fan Ming in the mountain section counted the doors all the way and stopped in front of room 203.
The house number in Room 203 has been so worn that it is hard to read, and the mailbox next to it is full of letters.
Shan Duan Fan Ming took out a letter and glanced at it, and found that it was a rent reminder written by the landlord.
And three months ago.
This letter should be the outermost letter of the mailbox, and I don't know if the reminders for the last two months have fallen out of the mailbox...or the landlord can no longer issue reminders.
Shan Duan Fan Ming put the reminder back into the envelope and knocked on the door.
The sound of something heavy moving inside the door.
Shan Duan Fan Ming became tense, and his muscles were in a state of preparation before the explosion. He is now like a cheetah ready to go. Although he maintains a standing position, he can shoot out like a bullet at any time~IndoMTL.com ~ Shizishan Xiushu was also in a similar state beside him. The two Masters Houses held the mentality that opening the door was a fierce fight, waiting for the door to open.
Then the door opened, and the face of a big man with a big head appeared in the crack of the door, his eyes with scars staring at Fan Ming Shan Duan.
"Is it work?" the giant man said, and his Japanese accent was a bit strange.
"Yes." Shan Duan Fan Ming breathed a sigh of relief, and he doesn't have to worry too much about the person he can negotiate with, "I heard that you are very good at making bamboo knives?"
"I'm good at making all kinds of assassination gear. Do you know the umbrella gun that killed JFK? I can do much more sophisticated stuff than that. As long as you have enough money."
"No, we don't kill people." Shan Duan Fan Ming said.
"I can also make a gadget to help you teach the bear children downstairs." The strong man added.
"No... can we go in and talk?" Shan Duan Fan Ming asked, "Isn't it a kind of etiquette to welcome the client into the room?"
"Uh, yes. However, you may need this." The strong man looked back for a long time, took out two pairs of stuffy noses, and handed them to Shan Duan Fan Ming.
Shan Duan Fan Ming and Shi Zishan Xiu Shu looked at each other, then took over the stuffy nose and put it on.
Then the strong man opened the door and let the two in.
"Oh shit, if you run into someone from the fire department, they will be frightened into cardiac arrest." Fanming Yamadan said, looking at the bottles and cans filled with chemical solvents in the room.
The strong man shrugged: "I'm actually waiting, waiting for when I accidentally blow myself up. Then I take all the surrounding residents away by the way... Well, some residents probably won't be able to take it away. "
Then he stretched out his hand to Shan Duan Fan Ming: "Shi Enzhou."
"Shan Duan Fan Ming." Shan Duan Fan Ming held the giant man's hand, and suddenly he saw a cat jump on the balcony of Shi Enzhou's room and start licking the milk on the balcony.
