Chapter 72: Little ghost baby come over to play
Toru Amuro couldn't figure out the reason, and could only temporarily attribute it to his limited knowledge of wild animals and his failure to recognize the biscuit box.
At this time, it might be because he stood there for too long.
Jiang Xia turned around from the side of the car and asked in confusion, "What's wrong?"
After saying that, Jiang Xia's eyes fell on the broken tire. He was slightly startled: "There is a mouse in your car?"
"No." Amuro Toru's car has always been clean, so theoretically it shouldn't attract rats. Besides, "this doesn't look like a rat's tooth mark."
As he said this, Amuro Toru took another closer look. The more he looked, the more he felt that it looked like a human bite.
…But how could that be possible—the woods were full of fallen leaves and dead branches, and if someone really had gotten into his trunk, he would have surely heard it.
…
In the dark forest, the more I think about this question, the more uncomfortable it becomes.
Toru Amuro had no choice but to put it aside and think about how to deal with the current predicament.
——The car is definitely undriveable, both tires are completely punctured.
I want to find someone to tow my car, but there is no cell phone signal here.
Next to him, Jiang Xia was also enthusiastically thinking of a solution. Soon, he pointed to the building at the bottom of the cliff and said, "There are lights on there, so someone should be living there. Why don't we borrow their phone?"
Amuro Toru nodded: "That's all we can do for now."
…
He once again looked at the torn tire with mixed feelings.
Then he locked the car and walked towards the hanging house built next to the waterfall with Jiang Xia.
As we got closer, we realized that this was a temple. A plaque with the words "Shan Ni Temple" hung above the door.
Next to it is a very high waterfall, which is like a white silk thread rushing down. If it is in the daytime, this environment can be called a "beautiful view".
Toru Amuro originally thought that this house built deep in the mountains was suspicious in every way.
But at this moment, when I saw that it was a Buddhist holy place, I felt that building the temple here was actually very tasteful - the environment was elegant and far away from the mundane world.
…
It’s a pity that the abbot here does not quite meet Amuro Toru’s expectations.
It has a strong worldly flavor.
"Haha, of course you can borrow the phone! In addition to it, we also provide food and lodging." The old abbot came out to greet them. After learning that they were tourists who had a flat tire, he rubbed his hands with a smile, as if he was looking at the god of wealth, "Food and lodging are 11,000 yuan - our phone can only be used by 'guests'."
——In a word, if you want to borrow a phone, you have to pay for accommodation first.
When Jiang Xia heard the words to keep the guest, his eyes towards the abbot suddenly became much kinder.
Toru Amuro's mood was completely opposite to Jiang Xia's.
He looked at his watch in silence, and after a rough estimate, he realized that even if he asked someone to drive a new car over, it would be too late to make it to the pottery classroom's latest closing time.
...Forget it, just stay here and treat it as a public travel. The suspended style of this temple is very unique and can indeed be considered a tourist attraction.
…
When the old abbot saw Toru Amuro take out his wallet, his wrinkled face suddenly broke into a smile.
For such a simple place, the accommodation fee of 10,000 yuan per night is actually quite expensive.
Jiangxia is not short of money, and is even a bit rich.
But he still remembered the reason why he went to work in the detective agency, and felt that he should respect his own personality here.
So soon.
Amuro Toru heard Jiang Xia whisper behind him like a ghost: "This will be reimbursed."
"..." Amuro Toru recalled the scene not long ago when Jiang Xia insisted on coming along, and sneered politely but mockingly, "Are you afraid of spending money on a business trip?"
Then he took out two 10,000 yen bills and handed them to the abbot.
Anyway, I can ask the organization to reimburse me, so I might as well spend it...
…
Although the abbot is suspected of forcing the sale.
But in order to preserve the reputation of Shanni Temple, the service he provided was still adequate.
After Toru Amuro made the call.
The abbot called out his four disciples, picked out two talkative ones, and asked them to accompany the guests on a tour of the temple, while the other two went to prepare vegetarian meals.
However, the facts prove that the so-called "talkativeness" is just picking a general from a group of dwarfs.
After walking into the back hall and seeing the majestic gilded Buddha statue, Toru Amuro half-sincerely and half-politely praised the "magnificence".
Then I heard the senior brother next to me happily recommend: "Would you consider holding a funeral here after you die? We can give you 20% off for two people!"
Toru Amuro: "..."
It wasn't that he was thinking too much, he just had a bad feeling.
This forest, this temple, these monks...something seems a little off?
Toru Amuro even subconsciously observed the big white teeth that were exposed when the senior brother smiled, wanting to see if there were any signs of looseness caused by biting the tire.
After realizing what he was thinking, he stopped thinking and pressed his temple.
——Materialistic, the world is absolutely materialistic.
…
Visited the temple inside and out.
Jiang Xia memorized the layout here.
The vegetarian meal was ready quickly. Although they were all vegetarian dishes, Jiang Xia had a good appetite, mainly because the ghost fetus in the old abbot's body was very appetizing.
The ghost was very uncomfortable being stared at by Jiang Xia, and tried to hide behind the table leg. After a while, it poked its head out again and found that Jiang Xia was still looking at it, so it had to put its hands together, tremblingly bowed to Jiang Xia, and then slowly hid behind the old monk.
Jiang Xia took a few looks and found that the appearance of this ghost fetus was a little strange.
——It seemed like there was something extra on its back, and its size was somewhat different from that of an ordinary ghost fetus, but it was hidden so Jiang Xia couldn’t see clearly.
...Forget it, there’s no need to rush.
You can see it sooner or later anyway.
At that time, he will not only look at it, but also hold it in his hands and taste it.
Jiang Xia poked the rice in the bowl hard.
