Chapter 116: Hunting Stone Festival

The lunch is quite content. Although the ones served on Fu Jixianli's table can be considered "home-cooked dishes", it is more abundant. I don't know if it is his illusion. I always feel that this kind of food that is grown from local forests, picked on site, and then cooked, has a fresher taste and a more refreshing taste.

The dining location was in the restaurant downstairs. After Fu Jixianli and his two men had almost finished their meals, the Mr. Morishita came over again, sat aside and said to Fu Jixianli, "Are guests interested in hunting deer? If you are interested, we can make arrangements in the afternoon and find someone to take the guests to the forest to bang bang luck... This is a more distinctive activity in our local area."

Fu Jixianli was stunned for a moment, "The deer is so cute, so... is its meat delicious?"

Japan should be considered a country with rich forest resources. Previously, Fu Jixianri also saw bears eating deer in Mount Fuji, but he was embarrassed to start robbing... Perhaps, this type of wild animals is allowed to be hunted. In many Japanese film and television works, there are scenes where they drive a car in the countryside and then just rushed to the lane and were hit and killed.

The Japanese are accustomed to hunting large and medium-sized wild animals, such as dolphins, sharks, and whales.

"How can the freshly captured prey taste bad if it is cooked properly? This is probably a better place in the countryside than in the city... Some tastes that you will definitely not be able to experience when living in the city.

But it depends on luck. Even if you enter the mountain, you cannot guarantee that you will get something for every time. Moreover, due to the weather, we cannot take guests too deep into the mountains... The approximately defined range of activities is that we will only move in areas with mobile phone signals."

This Mr. Morishita was quite considerate. Although he was recommending entertainment activities to guests, he at least took into account the safety factors - who would go into the deep mountains with a pain in his spare time?

"Speaking of this kind of light snow weather, it's even more like a hunting atmosphere." Fu Jixianli sighed like a real tourist.

There is no blizzard outside, so the safety risks brought by the weather are minimal, which instead creates a special atmosphere for some outdoor activities.

"So...what is the customer's decision? According to the Chinese theory, venison is a kind of ingredient tonic." Mr. Morishita looked at Fu Jixianri, then looked at Makana Aoi and said this.

Well, I always feel that this old guy seems to be hinting at something, but Fu Jixianli has no evidence... Whether to make up for it or not has something to do with him Fu Jixian.

"You can try it. If... this kind of wild hunting activity will not attract police." Fu Jixianli glanced at the other party, then rubbed the edge and conducted a test of existence and absence.

"Haha, it must be okay. We have not been to the police for a long time in a remote and quiet village like us." Mr. Morishita said with a smile. It should be said that his answer was a very cooperative answer for Fu Jixianri. "Then, I'll arrange the afternoon."

Mori went down to arrange the afternoon event, and Fu Jixianri and Matsukui returned to the room again. He sat down on the stool next to the floor stove, and then asked Matsukui, "Sister Aoi, what do you think? The owner of the store said that they had never seen the police for a long time, which was obviously contrary to the client's statement."

Aoi Matsuka sat on the other side, "Indeed, according to Zhu Xingxian, after her brother Zhu Xingchi disappeared here, she chose to call the police immediately, and the police quickly launched a corresponding investigation... Such an investigation would not even be a place of the incident, right?"

"From the attitude alone, both sides do not seem to be lying, but this conflicting situation shows that one of the parties must be lying, and it does not rule out the possibility that everyone is lying... In various senses, whether it is Miss Zhu Xing or Sen's family, they seem to have good acting skills." Fu Jixianli said that they had just arrived in the village and made such a discovery.

"Let's continue investigating. If a policeman came here to investigate the disappearance not long ago, the news would definitely not be concealed... In a relatively closed village, any small news will soon spread to a well-known level, not to mention that the disappearance is absolutely impossible to be a trivial matter."

There is an idea that although neither Aoi and Fu Jixianri did not express it clearly, their views are similar, that is, both of them prefer to have problems with one side, Zhu Xingxian, because what Mori's family said is easy to be proof or deny from multiple parties, so their probability of lying is relatively low.

In addition, when things come to an end, Zhu Xingxian suddenly cannot come here, which is also very telling.

Now, Fu Jixianli wants to question whether Zhu Xingxian called the police because of his brother's disappearance.

"In the afternoon, we should be able to contact people outside Morishita, let's continue to inquire." Fu Jixianli said, "Also, Sister Kui, you need to cooperate more, after all, we are playing couples now."

"What to cooperate with? Do you cooperate with the body?" Aoi Makazu rolled her eyes, "You should be more serious, we are working now."

Well, how to say it, it would be great if Sister Kui can cooperate with the body to nourish her body... Hmm, no, it means that there is something wrong with Aoi's attitude, and she will try to play the set identity relationship so that the people here will not notice the abnormality. Isn't this an important direction for hard work?

Zhong Aoi is actually a narrow-minded woman who doesn’t know how to contribute to her work.

…………

Just as the two were discussing similar things, Morishita Chiko was going to contact the "guide" who entered the mountain.

"It's really rare that guests will come here at this time."

"Well, it's a young couple. The man is tall and handsome, with a gentle personality, and likes to laugh very much. The woman is... she is a slightly older 'little girlfriend'. She doesn't talk much and can drive. She looks cool and seems to be the strong one.

How to say it, this kind of relationship is a bit cute.

It is said that I came here to relax, and it was introduced by my friend."

Morishita Akiko described Fu Jixianri and Mazu Aoi to the other party. As for her description of the two, she could only say how inaccurate it was. On the one hand, it might be that her eyes were on the back of her head when she was looking at people, and on the other hand, it was because of Fu Jixianri and Mazu Aoi's deliberate performance.

After coming here, Fu Jixianri was always in charge of communicating with Mori's family. Aoi seemed to talk less because she was carefully observing the situation here, hoping to find problems or flaws as soon as possible.

"Do you have a good personality? That's fine... It's certainly a good thing to have a customer coming to the door, but some people like to run around after entering the mountain. The originally simple and safe itinerary will be full of variables and even thrilling because of the self-righteous actions of those people." As he said, the man couldn't help but shook his head, as if he remembered some messy memories.

"It shouldn't be the case this time. There are only two guests, and we are also two of us accompanying them... People can definitely see them." Morishita Chiko said, the benefit of a small number of guests is naturally small.

"OK, there is no problem here in the afternoon. Zhizi, please bring the guests here. In this weather, it is good to be able to be outside for four or five hours... Winter is not summer, so we will definitely not camp outside for overnight stays."

Morishita Chiko returned home and changed into clothes suitable for outdoor activities, then went upstairs to call Fu Jixianri and the others. At this time, they were also prepared accordingly... Fu Jixianri and Makazu Aoi definitely did not bring anything like hiking clothes or windbreakers. After all, they had never expected similar activities before, so they just need to pay attention to keeping warm outdoors.

"To introduce this, this is Mr. Tanyama. He will take us to hunt next."

After coming to another place not far from the village, Fu Jixianli met the guide, who had short hair, was twenty-six or seven years old, and looked capable and neat.

"Hello, two guests." Gushan also greeted him.

"Do you two guests have experience in using hunting rifles and have obtained corresponding qualifications? If not, I personally recommend crossbow arrows for hunting activities..."

Of course, hunting requires equipment. Gushan took Fu Jixianli and the others into a garage-like place where there were several hunting rifles, bows, crossbows, and so on.

Under normal circumstances, Gushan would definitely not stuff the hunting gun into the hands of someone who had never pulled the trigger.

"Sister Kui, do we have to bring things? Or just watch it. Hunting small animals always seems a bit cruel. I think I can only be responsible for the part of the food." Fu Jixianli only glanced around, and then said that he did not really plan to choose a long-range weapon to hunt.

Aoi Masaru walked up and hung the strings for a few compound bows in turn. Then she tried the strength and made a choice, "This bow is enough."

There was a simple safety note here, but after seeing the action of Aoi Makazumi fiddling with the bow and arrow, Tanyama decisively gave up nonsense... This young lady was a familiar one at first glance.

Whether to shoot or not get prey is the second choice. At least she will not shoot arrows at people, which is enough.

After Matsukui made her choice, Gushan brought a double-barrel hunting rifle. The safety after entering the mountain still depends on him to ensure... Whether it is personnel, equipment, equipment used and damaged equipment, these things must be paid by Fu Jixianri and Matsukui.

Guests, guests who are willing to pay are "God".

Afterwards, the group of four got into a van, and Gushan was responsible for driving.

The car continued to walk in the mountains for a while and stopped. A group of four people got off the bus halfway up the mountain. In front of them was a relatively flat hillside, which should be the nearby "natural" hunting area.

Aoi Makana looks very interested in hunting. She walks forward with Taniyama, while "logistics personnel" like Fu Jixianri and Morishita Chiko are slightly behind.

Then Fu Jixianli started chatting.

"Miss Morishita, have Miss Zhu Xing and Mr. Zhu Xing come here to participate in hunting activities... If you are interested and can immerse yourself in it, then this kind of activity is actually quite interesting."

"Did Xiaoxian and her brother? They have never been here. When they came here, it happened to be our annual autumn festival "Stone Hunting Festival". Everyone was immersed in this activity... Mr. Zhu Xingchi seemed to be very interested in this kind of ritual with tradition and mystery.

Our festival activities...to put it bluntly, they are things with obvious superstition and witchcraft colors, which should be considered as the remnants of the old era. It is not good or bad to retain this tradition, but it has been preserved anyway.

However, many customers like this kind of activities, probably because they look very fresh. Anyway, it is a scene away from their own lives, so I always find it interesting to see it.”

It is hard to tell whether Morishita's words are sincere or whether he is talking to others and making plans. In short, she described Fu Jixianri as such a grand event in their local area.

"Since it can attract tourists, this kind of festival will definitely have its own uniqueness, so what is the process of hunting stone festival?" Fu Jixianri was not too interested. He seemed to be just looking for a topic to chat with the other party... This state seemed to be imitating the male compatriots who accompanied his girlfriend to the mall, so bored that they had to make no talk with others.

"Is it a stone hunting festival? Actually, I think the name of this festival is not very accurate, because in terms of content, this kind of festival activity has nothing to do with "hunting", and the core content is actually "sacrifice".

‘Stone’ represents mountain gods or mountain ghosts. Every year we sacrifice to the mountain gods to calm down its possible anger... Of course, it is impossible to really sacrifice to the living people now.

This may have happened during the superstition period, but now it is replaced by carved wooden or paper people.”

"Calm the anger of the mountain god? It is not difficult to understand that there are such traditional activities. After all, Japan is a country with frequent earthquakes. During the prevalence of superstition in history, earthquakes are always something that can be associated with the power of ghosts and gods." Fu Jixianli tried to discuss with the other party.

"Yes, the content of the stone hunting sacrifice is to escort the sacrifice at night while the floating lanterns are released, and the people from all over the village are escorting the sacrifice and sending it into the mouth of the mountain god to calm the anger of the mountain god and pray for the protection of the mountain god."

"The mouth of the mountain god?" Fu Jixianli noticed the important information that was revealed in the other party's mouth.

"In fact, it's an ancient well located in front of the shrine at the highest point of the village... I can't tell when it was dug, but the well seems to be quite old."

Morishita was just chatting, "This description doesn't feel much, but if you really participate in it, it's actually quite atmosphere during the sacrifice. That feeling is not easy to describe... lonely and weird? Anyway, it can make people get goosebumps.

Speaking of this year, there was a 'supernatural phenomenon' during the festival. It seems that someone witnessed the 'living person' who was a sacrifice, really came back to life and wandered around..."

"Oh, it's interesting."

Sacrifice, ancient well, living sacrifice? Fu Jixianli seemed to understand what the problem was.
