Chapter 31 first quarter

Been drinking since noon. The location is the narrow corridor of Abe Seimei's residence.Yuan Boya sat on the narrow slatted corridor, holding a full glass wine glass in his right hand, and sat opposite Qingming. Seimei's long and slender right finger pointed to a glass wine glass. It is an exotic wine glass, from the country of Hu. The rainy season ended ten days ago and the season has entered summer. Wen month (July of the lunar calendar) at the beginning.The sun beats down on the courtyard.hot.Even if the wind didn't move, Boya's back was dripping with sweat. The lush summer grass in the courtyard has grown to waist length.

Although orange stems and beetroot are in bloom, they are still no match for the strength of summer grass.The courtyard scene is like moving in the whole mountain field intact. Whenever the wind blows the summer grass, the stuffy grass heat will come over. The sun has already tilted slightly westward from the mid-heaven, but there is still some time before the sun completely sets on the top of the mountain. Seimei was wearing a loose white safari.Leaning back against a pillar, propping up his right knee, the right elbow holding the wine glass rests on his knee.There was not a drop of sweat on the forehead or neck.

Seimei's slender fingers held the glass cup, and the transparent green felt cool. On the narrow corridor between the two, there was a bottle of wine.The other is a plate of grilled ayu sprinkled with salt. The two were drinking sweetfish as an appetizer. "Qingming, aren't you hot?" Boya asked. "It's hot." Qingming moved the wine glass from his red lips, "That's needless to say." "But, you don't look hot at all..." "It doesn't matter whether it looks hot or not, it's still hot." Seimei said indifferently.

"I'm really envious of your ability to maintain a cool look." Boya finished speaking, grabbed the sweetfish and put it into his mouth. "This is sweetfish from Kamogawa." "Oh." "It's the sweetfish that the cormorant craftsman Chusuke Gamo just sent." "Is it Kamo Chusuke who was Lord Kurokawa at the time?" "Yes, it's that Senshou Chusuke." "But why did Chusuke send sweetfish here?" "Since that incident, he will send sweetfish here every sweetfish season. But this time, I need my help." "What's up?"

"Something only I can do." "Could it be that something weird happened to Zhongsuke?" "Yi Yi is Yao Yi, but it's not Zhongfu's accident." "Who happened then?" "Chusuke's friend, a bamboo cutter named Yuanzhong." "The bamboo cutter?" "Go to the mountains to cut bamboo or collect vines, weave them into cages or sell them in dustpans. I heard that his real name is Shigesuke, and because of his agility, he can easily climb trees to collect vines. He took the nickname Sape Heavy. He also likes this nickname very much, and later called himself by it. This is what Chusuke told me."

"Then, what is the strange thing?" "I heard from Zhongsuke that the matter is like this..." Seimei began to tell.
