Chapter 2 Chapter One

Hearing the woman's voice, Qingzuka stood and opened the paper door, and closed one eye to watch. There is a small river flowing in front of the Zhiyue Pavilion, and a small bridge is built on the river.The bridge for guests at the front door is wide, while the bridge for the side door is narrow.Crossing the narrow bridge, crossing the driveway, and walking and talking on the side of the field path, the waitresses of Shigekikan talked.Four people in home clothes walked in a line.Every day at 1:30 in the afternoon, they will go to the mountains to pick wild vegetables.Mountain vegetables are used for dinner.Walking at the back, wearing a maroon blouse and black trousers is Aju.

The wheat in the fields has begun to ripen, and fifteen or six houses with silk pat leather roofs pressed against stones that folk art lovers may like are gathered together.On the other side of the wheat field is the mulberry field.Beyond that was another wheat field.But it doesn't extend far, because it hits the mountain wall all at once. There are many mountain folds. From a close-up perspective, the two peaks of the green Zamu Mountain overlap.Opposite it is a cedar and cypress forest.The woods are very deep and black in color, and the peaks of the mountains hug each other like valleys, but the mountains themselves are separated.Then the front view is the blue mountain with a depression in the center. The local people call it Erzi Mountain because of its shape. It is an ordinary mountain that can be seen everywhere.The nearby mountains stand tall in a rather complicated combination.The steep slope of Zamu Mountain in the foreground is covered with red rhododendrons.

After a while, the waitresses of Zhiyue Pavilion stepped on the mountain road from the path between the mulberry fields.A-ju was still at the end of the line.There was no one else but them.Clouds cover the sun's flow, so stripes appear on the mountains and forests. Ichiro Aozuka closed the paper door and lay down on the yellowed tatami.It was mid-May at this time, but the air in the mountain country was thin and cold.In about twenty minutes, walk away from the hotel, he thought.Aju had a plan to walk at the back of the waitresses, because when she reached a certain point, she would be separated from the others and wait for Qingzuka's arrival alone.

The girls who went to pick wild vegetables were afraid of being alone, so they tried to gather with their companions as much as possible.Only Aju didn't like it, so when she found a good place, she and her companions went there alone.She is a relatively experienced person in this hot spring hotel, so she can be so arbitrary. Even so, it's weird, where other people want to follow her to pick in places where there are abundant mountain vegetables, she refuses.But the place she went alone was a dense forest that women dare not enter alone.Everyone felt, therefore, that there must be another reason.

Maybe everyone in the hotel knew about it, Aotsuka thought while lying on his back smoking a cigarette.The waitresses looked at me differently than before, and it could be seen from the manager's face. This is called Shangshan Hot Spring, and it is an hour's bus ride from the M station of the Chuo Line to Kiso Valley.There are only five hotels, and the water temperature is not hot. Needless to say, in winter, it is necessary to burn it and wash it now.However, there have been a lot of curious people recently, so this mountain hot spring is still full of excitement.The four female waitresses all went out to pick wild vegetables for the same reason.

——Aozuka Ichiro is a man who embezzled public money and escaped. He worked as a reporter for a local newspaper in Hokuriku for six years before taking a job at the freight company.Because of having a relationship with the director's mistress, he was found out and had to leave the newspaper and go to a neighboring county to get a job in the manager's department of a freight company.In the third year, the company's money was embezzled.Because he handed over to the bar girl, he unknowingly embezzled 500,000 yuan, was seized by the company, and had to run away.When he fled, he also stole 200,000 yuan.Because I don't have some money with me, I can't escape if I want to.Freight companies in small places will definitely call the police and arrest them.Originally intending to go directly to Osaka or Tokyo, but worried that the police in the metropolis would be quicker, so I changed trains at Shiojiri and got off at M station on the Chuo Line.I saw a poster on the platform and knew there was a place called Shangshan Hot Spring, so I had an idea and came here immediately.

Living in the Zhiyue Pavilion was also accidental. I only wanted to stay for three or four days, but now it has been two weeks.On the one hand, he felt that it would be similar to switch to another family, and on the other hand, he had a relationship with Aju. Aju has been the waitress in charge of his room from the beginning, and she should be over thirty.I asked her later, only to find out that he was two years older than him, thirty-three years old.Stocky, but fair-skinned.Her pink gums are exposed when she smiles, but she is not ugly, and her slightly thick eyelids and small eyes are also somewhat attractive.

On the third night, when Aju came to make the bed, she tried it out. She said that it was inconvenient at night because of her companion's eyes.Because they share the same room, it is not easy to slip out.But it's fine in the morning.She is on the morning shift, so she can come around seven o'clock on the grounds of cleaning up the room. Qingzuka thought she was looking for an excuse to escape, but still waited until the next morning with half expectation.Sure enough, Aju quietly opened the paper door and came in at seven o'clock. She undressed, leaving only her white underwear, and slid into Qingzuka's side.The underwear was changed and just washed.The white chest stands high.

Aju said that she divorced her husband five years ago and has a child raised by her mother-in-law.Having had this period of life experience, she can still easily accept Qingzuka in this early morning.She forgot to be shy from the beginning. It is said that she came to work at the Zhiyue Pavilion immediately after the divorce, so it is impossible for Aju to have no relationship with men and women in the past five years.It is common for waitresses in hot spring hotels to have trysts with guests, some of which are money transactions, and some are not.In fact, as soon as Qingzuka opened his mouth, Aju came.However, Qingzuka thinks from Aju's behavior that her relationship in this regard may have been interrupted for a long time.

The hotel's waitresses took turns in the morning and evening shifts every other day, and Aju couldn't come to Qingzuka's room at night because she was afraid of the eyes of her companions, but she came at seven o'clock the next morning.As soon as she arrived, she immediately took off her clothes and brought her hot body close to him, becoming more and more daring. The time we spent together was only about forty minutes, and we couldn't keep hiding from the other morning waitresses.Forty minutes were short, and Aju tried her best to grasp the time. Qingzuka gave Aju 5,000 yuan, but knew that her goal was not money.Her body was short and fat, her skin was fair and soft, and she contained infinite energy.

When the planned stay of four or five days turned into ten days, Aju suggested a date on the mountain.She said that she would go to the mountains to pick wild vegetables, and the time to meet there would be relatively long.Aju felt dissatisfied with the early morning rendezvous every 40 minutes a day. Qingzuka left the hotel in a walking posture around two o'clock, and set foot on the mountain road according to Aju's instructions.The slope is steep and makes people feel breathless.On one side is a dense miscellaneous forest, and on the other side is a cliff.The further up the road, the deeper the valley, and the deepest valley is about fifteen meters.Here is a slope covered by miscellaneous trees and weeds, and there is a bare cliff.There are boulders scattered under the cliff, and the mountain road here is winding. I don't know how many corners Aju appeared and waved to him, stared at him, and smiled with her gums showing.The green mound was introduced into the woods, and Aju put the wild vegetable cage beside her and lay down on the grass.The fragrance of grass leaves permeates the surroundings, and Achrysanthemum is full of enthusiasm in the wild.It was also the first time for Qingzuka to experience this kind of atmosphere, and he couldn't restrain his excitement either. Aju is an uneducated woman. She was born in the south of the county and only graduated from primary school.Her ex-husband was also a farmer.However, she knew the world, and her job as a hotel waitress had enriched her.Because I am single, I save my salary, tips, etc., and it seems that I have little savings.Aju falls in love with Qingzuka and doesn't ask for his money.At the same time, she also thought that he would not poach her savings. On the days when Aju couldn't come in the morning, they had a tryst in the mountains instead.Qingzuka couldn't refuse Aju, so he had nothing to do every day, so he naturally had too much energy.There are young couples staying in the hot spring hotel, and there are also middle-aged men bringing business women, which stirs his heart. Late at night, Qingzuka went downstairs to take a bath, and heard the lively conversation of the waitresses in the women's bathhouse next door.Among them, Aju's laughter was particularly loud, and it sounded like a woman's voice full of satisfaction from a "man". Qingzuka felt unhappy, if he hadn't been held accountable for misappropriating the company's money, he wouldn't have hid in the hot spring in the mountains, let alone hooked up with the waitress at the hot spring hotel.Even if there is, at most it's just a joke for one or two nights.However, because of my weakness, I can't just go elsewhere, so I have to stay here temporarily.Speaking of weakness, being unable to resist Aju's body is also a weakness.You cannot control yourself by staying here.However, being older and being a hotel waitress made Aozuka feel humiliated and made him feel inferior. However, there is no way between Zhiyue Pavilion.There are neither geishas who sell themselves for money nor masseuses in Kamiyama Onsen.It's too far to call from the city.He didn't intend to live with Aju like this.At most, it will only linger for another half a month.The number of dates has increased, and Aju's love has also deepened, but she will not stop the man from leaving the hotel, right?Even if the man abandons her, she will not follow him, right?Qingzuka tried not to think about the future, and decided to temporarily immerse himself in this unpleasant joy—this day is May 10th.
