Tohru Amuro couldn't think of the reason, and could only temporarily attribute it to his limited knowledge of wild animals and his ignorance of cookie packaging boxes.
At this time, it may be that he stood frozen for too long.
Jiang Xia turned around from the side of the car and asked doubtfully, "What's wrong?"
After saying that, Jiang Xia's eyes fell on the broken tire, and he was slightly startled: "Is there a mouse in your car?"
"No." Toru Amuro's car has always been clean. In theory, there should be no rats. Besides, "This doesn't look like rat teeth marks."
Saying that, Toru Amuro looked at it carefully again. The more I looked at it, the more I thought it looked like a human bite.
...But how is that possible? The woods are full of fallen leaves and branches. If someone really ran into his trunk, he would definitely hear the movement.
…
In the dark forest, this question became more and more uncomfortable the more I thought about it.
Toru Amuro had no choice but to put it aside and think about how to deal with the current predicament.
——The car definitely can't be driven, both tires are completely worn.
I want to find someone to tow the car, but there is no cell phone signal here.
Next to him, Jiang Xia was also enthusiastically thinking of a solution together. Soon, he pointed to the buildings at the bottom of the cliff: "There are lights on there. Someone should be living there. Why don't you borrow a phone from them?"
Toru Amuro nodded: "That's all we can do for now."
…
He once again glanced at the torn tire with mixed emotions.
Then he locked the car and walked with Jiang Xia to the suspended house built next to the waterfall.
As I got closer, I realized it was a temple. A plaque with the name "Shanni Temple" hangs above the door.
Next to it is a very high waterfall, with white water flowing down like a stream. This kind of environment, if placed in the daytime, can be called "beautiful scenery".
Toru Amuro originally thought that everything about this house built in the mountains was suspicious.
But at this time, when I saw that it was a sacred place for Buddhism, I felt that it was actually very tasteful to build the temple here - the environment was elegant and far away from the secular world.
…
It's a pity that the abbot here does not meet Toru Amuro's expectations.
The worldliness is a bit heavy.
"Haha, of course you can borrow the phone! In addition to it, we also provide food and accommodation here." The old abbot came out to greet them. After learning that they were tourists who unfortunately had a flat tire, he rubbed his hands with a smile, as if looking at the God of Wealth, "Food and accommodation" Accommodation is 10,001 people - our phone numbers can only be used by "guests"."
——In a word, if you want to borrow a phone, you must first pay for accommodation.
When Jiang Xia heard these words of staying a guest, his eyes towards the abbot suddenly became much kinder.
Amuro Toru's mood was completely opposite to Jiang Xia's.
He looked at his watch wordlessly, made some calculations, and found that even if he found someone to drive a new car over, he would not be able to make it in time for the latest closing time of the ceramics classroom.
...Forget it, just stay here and treat it as a tourist trip with public funds. The suspended style of this temple is very unique and can indeed be considered a tourist attraction.
…
When the old abbot saw Toru Amuro taking out his wallet, his wrinkled face suddenly burst into laughter.
The accommodation fee of 10,000 yuan per night in such a simple place is actually quite expensive.
Jiangxia is not short of money, and is even a little rich.
But he still remembered the reason why he worked in the detective agency in the first place, and felt that his personality should be respected here.
So soon.
Amuro Toru heard Jiang Xia whispering like a ghost behind him: "This will be reimbursed."
"..." Toru Amuro recalled the scene not long ago when Jiang Xia insisted on following him, and smiled politely but sarcastically, "Are you afraid of spending money on a business trip?"
Then he took out two 10,000 yen notes and handed them to the abbot.
Anyway, you can find an organization to reimburse you for it, so it’s not a waste of money…
…
Although the abbot is suspected of buying and selling by force.
But in order to maintain the reputation of Shanni Temple, the services he provided were quite adequate.
After Amuro Toru called.
The abbot called out the four disciples, selected two talkative ones, and asked them to accompany the guests to visit the temple, while the other two went to prepare fast meals.
However, it turns out that the so-called "talkative" is just the general among the dwarves.
After walking into the back hall and seeing the magnificent gilded Buddha statue, Toru Amuro complimented it "magnificently", half sincerely and half politely.
Then I heard the senior brother next to me happily say: "Do you want to consider coming to our funeral after you die? Two people can get a 20% discount!"
Toru Amuro: "..."
It's not that he thinks too much, it's that he really has an ominous premonition.
This forest, this temple, these monks... something doesn't seem right?
Toru Amuro even subconsciously observed the big white teeth his senior brother showed when he smiled, trying to see if there were any signs of looseness caused by biting the tires.
After realizing what he was thinking, he stopped his thoughts and pressed his temples.
——Materialist, the world is absolutely materialistic.
…
Visited a circle of temples inside and outside.
Jiang Xia memorized the layout here.
The vegetarian meal was quickly prepared. Although it was all vegetarian dishes, Jiang Xia had a strong appetite, mainly because the ghost fetus in the old abbot made it difficult for him to eat.
Guitai felt uncomfortable being stared at by Jiang Xia and tried hard to hide behind the table legs. After a while, it poked its head out again and found that Jiang Xia was still looking at it, so it had to clasp its hands, bow tremblingly to Jiang Xia, and then slowly hide behind the old monk.
Jiang Xia took a few glances and found that the ghost fetus looked a little strange.
——There seems to be something extra on its back, and its shape is different from ordinary ghost fetuses, but it is so hidden that Jiang Xia cannot see clearly.
...Forget it, there's no rush.
Anyway, you can see it sooner or later.
When the time comes, he will not only watch it, but also hold it in his hand.
Jiang Xia poked the rice in the bowl hard.
