Chapter 5 【Chapter 1】The Man Named Yuxi

Most of the villagers in Shenqu Village are very gentle, let alone the people in the Shenqu area in the deepest mountain. What ah what ah is the mantra of the villagers. It is not a greeting to others, nor is it a perfunctory word, but it means to take your time and take it easy.Over time, they are used in various occasions, and even when expressing the really leisurely and comfortable weather, they only need to use the four words "Naaaaaaaaaa". Villagers sometimes stand on the road and chat. Where ah what ah what. (Today's weather is really nice.) Yes. (yes.) Has that one of yours gone mountain running again? (Has your husband already gone to work in the mountains?)

Today is nearby. He originally said that he would go somewhere in the morning, but he is still there at this time. I want to use the sweeper. (Today is on a nearby mountain. He originally said to go to work slowly in the morning, but now he is still lazy at home. I can’t help but suck the floor. It’s really nerve-wracking.) At first, I was like a duck listening to thunder, unable to understand what they were saying. Shenqu Village is located in the central and western part of Mie County, close to the border of Nara County. The villagers all speak with a Kansai accent, and add a suffix at the end of the language. This should be the reason why the villagers' words and deeds slow down.

Does your stomach hurt anymore? Um. I think you are full. I think so too. Hearing such a conversation between them, I really feel that the bones of my whole body are softening. Of course, no matter how gentle a person is, occasionally there will be times when they are excited. At this time, one will be added before the particle. Didn't I say that first-grade students can only go to the river when there are adults around!Let me see next time, I will (really) go crazy!Be careful that the Kappa will come and steal your assholes! I once witnessed Naoki scolding elementary school students, because there are many sound-like sounds in the auxiliary words of Shenquhua, so even when swearing, there is a kind of carelessness.As for who Naoki is, I will naturally make it clear.

However, is it too much to use a kappa to scare a kid?What is an asshole?I don't have that kind of thing on my ass.After all, the little ghost is a little ghost, and he was so frightened that he couldn't see the shit, crying and shouting: "The Kappa is so scary, I don't like it."I won't dare anymore, forgive me.Will it be too simple?It is simply the world of Japanese folklore. It has been almost a year since I left Yokohama, where I grew up, and lived in the Kamika area of ​​Kamika Village.I suddenly want to record what happened this year. The life of the gods is really strange in my eyes, especially the villagers.They may seem gentle, but they will do some destructive actions in silence.

Although I don't know whether life here will be smooth in the future, in short, I decided to start writing to see that the dusty computer at Yuxi's house can still be used after being connected to the power supply, but it is a pity that it is not connected to the Internet.Yuxi’s home is a black rotary phone (the first time I saw the real thing after I came to Shenqu Village), and all the rooms don’t have network sockets, so I really don’t understand why they bought a computer.Is it based on curiosity?It must be that after I bought it, I felt that it was too troublesome to read the manual, so I put the computer aside.

As for who Yuxi is, I will explain to you again when I have a chance. Although I haven't written a long article, but recording this period of life can calm down my heart and organize my thoughts.During the winter months, work is less busy and there is plenty of time to write. The reason why the god-going villagers attach importance to it should be based on the fact that most of them are engaged in forestry work that develops in a 100-year cycle. In addition, there is no entertainment at night. After dark, they can only go to bed early. reason.No matter how hurried you are, the trees will not grow faster, so everyone eats and sleeps enough, and will continue to live tomorrow.Almost everyone has this attitude.

For a while, when I spoke, I also naturally added the sound of which, but my ability to express words is still very poor, and I can't write down their conversations smoothly. I can only ask you to remember when you read this book, The villagers who have gone to God are full of words from God. Actually, I have no intention of sharing this manuscript.But I will write it pretending that there are readers reading it, so everyone, remember that the villagers who go to God are talking from God, doesn't it sound like the same thing?Forget it, it seems nothing special. In short, I intend to write down what happened this year as I like, and I ask you to read it with a relaxed mood.Where are you from, hehe.

I originally planned to rely on part-time jobs to support myself after graduating from high school. My academic performance is not satisfactory, and I have no interest in reading, so neither my parents nor teachers have ever advised me to go to university first and then think about other things, but I have no intention of joining any company and living the nine nights. five lives.Thinking of how my life is so decided at such a young age, I feel extremely depressed. Until the day of my high school graduation ceremony, I had been working part-time at a convenience store, living a life without ambitions day after day.I also know that going on like this is not the way to go, if I don’t find a good job, the future is worrying, and the people around me are also warning me, but I have no sense of reality for the future decades later.So, I decided not to think about it and not to worry about it.Of course, I didn't have anything I wanted to do, and I didn't think I'd be able to find something I wanted to do.That's all I knew, so I thought after graduation, I'd still be living this lackluster life day in and day out.

Unexpectedly, after attending the graduation ceremony, as soon as I returned to the classroom, the class teacher A Xiong (Mr. Kumagai) said to me: Hey, Hirano, the teacher arranged the work for you. I never asked him to help me find a job, so huh?With a sound.But Xiong said: What is your attitude?I'm not kidding you. I didn't expect it was really not a joke. I was dragged all the way home by Axiong, and my mother had already moved all her own things into my room, including the fitness equipment that she hadn't used since she bought it by mail, and now it's all in my room.

Your change of clothes and daily necessities have been sent to Shenqu Village. You must obediently listen to the villagers and work hard.By the way, this is what your dad gave you. What is God's Village?Mom took out a white envelope and said it was given to me by my dad who had gone to work, and then drove me out of the house inexplicably.Cheng Yi was written on the envelope, and it contained 30,000 yuan.What can 30,000 yuan do! Do not make jokes!I yelled loudly, it was too unreasonable, why did you suddenly drive me away! Only the moon does not rest, my mother opened the notebook in her hand and read it, peeping into my heart from the window.

This is "Ben's Poetry Collection"!With a silent cry, I jumped to my feet.Dry!I hid in the desk drawer, and my mother peeked at it without my consent! give me back! don't want.If you don't want me to photocopy these contents and send them to your classmates, just obediently go to God Qucun. The bloodless and tearless devil mother actually did this kind of cruelty to her sentimental adolescent son.Even looking back on it now, it still makes me angry. Interesting, it turned out that only the moon did not rest in peace.Axiong laughed, don't worry, the teacher won't tell others. Destroy human beings quickly!Now that I was plotted by my mother, I could only leave home dejectedly. After my father cut my salary, my mother hoped that I would become independent as soon as possible.The house leak happened to be raining overnight, and my elder brother and sister-in-law who lived nearby just had a baby. My mother smiled when she saw the eldest grandson, and she didn't care about my life or death.Dad has always been a strict wife, and I guess the day when he will be kicked out of the house is not far away. Axiong took me to Shin-Yokohama Station, pushed me on the Shinkansen, wrote the way to Kamikamura on a note, then stuffed it into my hand and said: You can't come back for a year, take care of your health and work hard. I found out later that my family applied for green employment without telling me. This system allows workers who are willing to engage in forestry to receive state subsidies.It's basically a state-sponsored system for re-employing migrants and returnees, and it's the exception among the exceptions that young people like me, recent graduates, get elected.It can be seen that there is a serious shortage of manpower in the forestry industry, and they actually approved my exception. As long as forestry trade unions or forestry companies are willing to recruit trainees, the state will pay them a subsidy of 3 million yen in the first year for each trainee.Of course, three million is actually not enough because of the living expenses of the trainees who know nothing about forestry, as well as the personnel expenses and equipment expenses of the instructors. But in the mountain villages where the young population is getting smaller and smaller, when the villagers finally see someone willing to invest in forestry, they will wholeheartedly welcome and guide them enthusiastically.Facing the 3 million subsidy and the kindness and enthusiasm of the villagers, I am too embarrassed to say that I am still not interested in forestry. I got off the Shinkansen in Nagoya, changed to the Kintetsu Line to Matsusaka, and then took the local line that I had never heard of before shaking for a long time, driving all the way to the deep mountains.I still didn't understand the situation, and I was kicked out of the house with coaxing and deceit. I was helpless, annoyed, and even more lonely, but I still felt relaxed and went to the address written on the note first.I think of it as a trip. During the journey, I used my mobile phone to send text messages to my friends to pass the time. Axiong suddenly asked me to go to a place called Shenqucun. real or fake! ?Wow, wouldn't it be too cool. Soon after, the mobile phone showed no signal and could not receive a signal!Did you make a mistake!Is this really Japan?I had no choice but to give up sending text messages and enjoy the scenery outside the window. The train on the local line has only one car, and there is no conductive frame, let alone power lines.I thought it was a tram, but it looked like a bus, but it was running on tracks.I am getting more and more confused about the situation. There is no driver on the bus. When the passengers get off the bus, the driver is responsible for collecting the tickets.Including me, there were only four passengers from the beginning to the end, and in the end there was only an old lady munching on oranges.The old lady also staggered out of the car at the stop before me. I can't tell whether it's the local line of the bus or the tram. I travel along the mountainside by the stream. The further upstream, the clearer the river.It was the first time I saw such a clean stream.The mountain scenery gradually appeared in front of my eyes, and it was almost difficult to realize that I was in the mountains. Taking a tram through the mountains, the scene you see is similar to the feeling of driving in the forest. There is thin snow on the mountain, and as far as the eye can see, there are fir trees everywhere.In fact, there were quite a few juniper trees mixed in, but at that time I couldn't tell the cedar from the juniper. People living in this area will suffer from hay fever when the weather gets warmer. When I was still worrying about others without my own business, I quickly reached the terminal.It was an unoccupied small station, and as soon as he stepped onto the platform, the humid and cold air rushed towards his face.The sky had completely darkened, and as far as the eye could see, there were no residential houses.Layers of mountain outlines are also hidden in the darkness. What is the situation now?I was standing outside the old station. In the distance, a white pickup truck drove down the mountain road with its headlights flashing and stopped in front of me.A burly man stepped out of the driver's seat, and I was startled because his short hair was dyed a dazzling blond, and he looked like a gangster. Are you Hirano courage? Yes. Do you have a cell phone? Yes, I have. As soon as I took the phone out of my jeans pocket, he snatched it. Hello! I almost snatched it, but he was one step faster.He removed the battery of the mobile phone and threw it into the bushes. The battery seemed to have fallen into the water, and there was a splashing sound. What are you doing! What the hell, anyway, I can't receive a signal here, so it's useless to keep it. This is a crime.Furious, I turned around and walked back to the station, this smirking, unknown man was horrible.I don't want to stay in such a ghost place, I want to go back. However, there are no trains back to Matsusaka anymore.The last bus is at 7:25pm, is there any mistake?I walked out of the station helplessly, and the man was still there. boarding.He returned the lightened mobile phone to me, don't be slow, where's the luggage? I only brought a duffel bag with a change of clothes in it. He didn't say anything more, just threw the duffel bag into the back of the pickup truck and gave me a chin.He was about thirty years old, muscular and agile.Besides, judging from the viciousness with which he can suddenly throw away other people's mobile phone batteries, it is obviously not a good way to resist him. In any case, I can't get out of here until tomorrow morning.I don't want to sleep in a station deep in the mountains feeding wild dogs.I risked everything and got into the passenger seat of the pickup truck. My name is Iida Yoki. He introduced himself, and that was all he said along the way. The pickup truck continued to drive towards the mountain along the winding mountain path for about an hour.My ears buzzed with the altitude.He drove very rough, and every time I turned, my body was thrown back and forth, making me a little motion sick. Finally, when I came to a building that looked like a meeting place, I was kicked out of the car, and my luggage was thrown out of the car.He drove away in a pickup truck, and an uncle who was waiting for me invited me in to eat hot pot. What wild boar. The uncle said with a smile.He was referring to wild boar hotpot. The uncle spread the quilt for me in the two-square-meter room in the duty room and left. I was left alone in the whole building. I could only hear the sound of the river and the wind blowing through the woods in the mountains. The surrounding was so quiet Hairy.I carefully pressed my forehead against the window glass and looked out. It was pitch black outside, and I couldn't see any scenery at all.Although the time series is about to enter April, it is still chilling and piercing. There was a pink pay phone in the hallway, and I called home. Ah, it turned out to be courage.Did you make it there? After the mother's voice came the baby's laughter.The eldest brother and sister-in-law seem to be at home. Well, I ate mountain pork just now. So good, mom never had it.Is it tasty? Um.I want to know what the hell is going on here!what am i doing here I wanted to say, I wanted to go back, but I gritted my teeth and swallowed the words back. do what?Of course it's work. What job? Anyway, if you can find a job, God has eyes, so stop being picky and work hard.Regardless of any job, how will you know if you are suitable for it if you don’t try it out. So what the hell am I going to do? Ahhh, the bath water is ready. My mother talked about him left and right, and then hung up the phone.Damn it, Mother Devil!Unexpectedly, I didn't know what my son was doing, so he pushed me into the fire pit and kicked me out of the house. I turned on the kerosene heater and got under the covers.The unease and confusion in my heart made me want to cry so much, maybe I actually shed a tear. After dawn, I figured out that this was the Forestry Union.What is a Forestry Union?Are they going to hire me as a clerk?I was full of doubts, all I knew was that I was going to be trained here for 20 days. The uncle who invited me to eat wild boar hot pot taught me the dangers of the mountains and the technical terms of forestry. I also learned how to use a chainsaw, but I was scolded all day long.The waist is even harder!The arms are hanging down!At that time, I finally understood that I would be sent to the front line of forestry. forestry?Are you kidding me, it's a blast.Although I thought so in my heart, when the local line train was running, the uncle stared at me every step of the way. Although I tried to escape three times, I was spotted by the uncle every time. I couldn't succeed, so I had to give up.He grabbed me by the neck and escorted me back to the forestry union office.The uncle's arms are very thick. It is said that he once threw the boar boar out on the mountain. I can only accept the training obediently, but I am still quietly waiting for the opportunity to escape. You can go to Mr. Nakamura to test for various certificates, the uncle said, come on. Who is Mr. Nakamura?He didn't say anything. On the day when the forestry trade union ended its 20-day training, Iida Yuki came to pick me up again in a pickup truck.He drove a pickup truck and drove me upriver along the river.The uncle stood at the door of the house of the Forestry Union, waving at me all the time, as if he was going to send me to the battlefield. Because I have been practicing how to use the chainsaw all day long, my back is sore and my hands are calloused.My whole body was sore, and I became a horoscope when I walked.This period of training life alone made me realize that I am not suitable for forestry work, but I dare not beg the other party to let me go back.It was also difficult to escape from the situation in front of him, and Yuxi sat in the driver's seat, holding the steering wheel without saying a word. The forestry guild office is located in the area called Naka in the village of Kamigo.Yuxi wanted to drive me to the Shenqu area in the deepest part of Shenqu Village, the distance was nearly 30 minutes by car. The Kamigo area is a small village surrounded by mountains, and there is almost no flat land.There are dozens of households scattered along the banks of the Shenqu River, with nearly a hundred villagers. Each household grows vegetables for the whole family in a small field behind the house, and uses the only flat land by the river to reclaim paddy fields. More than half of the villagers here are over 60 years old. There is only one store selling daily necessities nearby. There is no post office or school here. You can only send TA-Q-BIN in the area, and when you want to buy your belongings, you have to climb several mountains and go to the town called Kui. Nothing is convenient here. Yuxi drove across a small bridge and parked the little train in the yard of a family. Go say hello to the host. owner?When I was surprised that he would say such an old-fashioned name, he had already walked out of the courtyard and walked towards the gentle slope without looking back. I hurriedly chased after him.The cold wind blowing from the mountains is as cold as winter, and there is still a little snow on the roadside.There was no one along the way but us.The population density here was already very low, and it happened to be noon at this moment. The owner's family grew up on a highland a short distance from the river, with mountains behind it.This old and solid Japanese traditional house is indeed suitable to use the word growth to describe it.The incomparably spacious front yard is covered with white crushed stones of the same size. In the corner of the front yard is a set of tables and chairs made of a single piece of wood. The table is huge enough to accommodate many people to barbecue at the same time.After finally walking to the entrance, there are also two huge door plates, one of which says Nakamura, and the other says Nakamura Forestry Co., Ltd. Now I know that the owner is Mr. Nakamura. It seems that I will work here in the future.What kind of person is Mr. Nakamura?I was a little scared, but the more scared I was, the more I wanted to see it.So, I followed Yuxi obediently and walked in. Yuxi didn't ring the doorbell, and directly opened the paper sliding door in the entrance.I don't know if I heard the movement outside the door, a boy about five years old ran out from the dim house.His skin was fair, his eyes were bony, and his cheeks were red.The boy opened his hands happily and cried: and hi! Yuxi said hi, Shantai, and picked up the boy. Is Qingyi there? exist! Holding the boy named Shantai in his arms, Yuxi crossed the threshold and walked into the house.Follow the dimly lit passage to the spacious earthen room and kitchen.I have never seen other people's houses where the mud room and the kitchen are connected together, so I couldn't help but look around curiously.The exposed thick beams are old and black, and the part of the ceiling seems to be a storage room, with a wooden ladder next to it. Shantai lay on Yuxi's shoulder and looked curiously at me who was observing the old house.When our eyes met, he was probably shy, buried his face in Yuxi's shoulder, but immediately looked up cautiously at me.When our eyes met again, Shantai laughed. I thought he was so cute. Perhaps to prevent the cold from invading, the Japanese room wooden door facing the mud floor room is closed, and the wooden door is shiny black.Yuxi opened the door with one hand, poked his head into the room and asked: Hey, Qingyi, a newbie here. Oh, come in. Unexpectedly, a young voice came from inside.I took off my shoes under Yuxi's instructions, walked into the Japanese room, and helped Yuxi take off his shoes while holding Shantai.Shan Tai giggled timidly, and as soon as Yu Xi put him down, he immediately ran in. Shantai, what ah what ah. Shan Tai rushed to the lap of a man in his mid-thirties.He was wearing a dark brown kimono over a striped padded kimono jacket and sat kneeling.This thin and long-faced man is very different from Shan Tai, with very sharp eyes. Hirano courage, you are welcome to join, and I will take care of you in the future.He said to me, my name is Seiichi Nakamura, and he is my son Yamata. It turned out that they had already arranged for me to work in Nakamura Forestry Co., Ltd.It is difficult to even get to the local line station when you come to such a remote mountainous area, what should you do?Right now, I had no choice but to sit obediently on the cushion, and Yuxi sat cross-legged next to me. There was a sudden movement at the back door, followed by a voice. Ah, have guests? Looking back, a delicate beauty opened the wooden door and looked at us.A pair of big eyes and white skin are exactly the same as Yamata. My wife Yuko, Qingichi brother introduced, Yuko, this is the new Hirano courage. Nice to meet you. Yuko smiled and nodded to me.My heart is pounding like a deer.In Yokohama, no, it's rare to see such a beautiful woman even on TV.I suddenly wonder where will I live these days?Mr. Nakamura's house is very big, maybe I will live here.At this moment, I suddenly felt that it didn't matter that others arranged work for me without asking for my consent at all. Everyone drank the tea made by sister Yuko together, and Yamatawa and Ki ate the yokan at an astonishing speed. I went to see the tea garden in the back just now. Sister Yuzi said that the young leaves were frostbitten because of the ice and snow. It's snowing a lot this year, how about the mountains?and hi. The situation is worst near the mountainside to the west, where there are many young trees. Let's go snow tomorrow then. Hearing Brother Qingyi say that, everyone except me nodded, even Shantai was no exception.What is snow?Do you mean shoveling snow?The snow on the road is not very deep.I thought to myself. Brother Qingyi explained to me that the salary is a monthly salary, and he also enjoys social insurance. In principle, the working hours are from 8:00 am to 5:00 pm, but due to different work locations, considering the time to go to the destination forest, it will be earlier. gather.After listening to it, I felt even more, well, I am really not interested in forestry. In the end, it was arranged for me to temporarily stay at Yuxi's house.Why isn't it brother Qingyi's house?I'm a little disappointed.Sister Yuko and Shantai escorted us to the gate, and Yuxi and I walked back along the way we came. Are you totally inexperienced? Yuxi asked me, and I said a little annoyed: Learned how to use a chainsaw at a forestry union. Yuxi exhaled through his nose disapprovingly. Hey, a chainsaw. What's up!After that, the two of us walked on the road without saying a word. Yuxi lives in the house where he parked the pickup truck just now, and among the three houses by the river, his house is the one in the middle.Although this traditional farmhouse building is not as grand as Brother Qing's house, if it is in the city, such a big house is enough to be called a mansion. There is a dog house with a red roof in the courtyard. A snow-white dog is sitting in front of the dog house. When it sees us, it wags its tail desperately.There is a wooden sign nailed to the dog house that says no｜ko, is this pronounced as Nako (the name of a bitch)?But no matter how I looked between Nako's hind legs, I felt it was a male dog.It's obviously a male dog, but it's called Naizi.I tilted my head wondering.Noko's face seemed to be smiling, and after being touched by Yuxi, she immediately narrowed her eyes comfortably. One second before opening the entrance door, Yuxi yelled: Mob!It was too late, but soon, a teacup flew out from the open door, brushed my cheek, landed in the courtyard, and shattered with a crisp sound. Where did you go when you died! A slender and petite woman stood in the dirt room, blocking it.She and Yuko sister are completely different types, but the facial features are obvious, and people can't help but look at them more.Unexpectedly, this remote village has such a high ratio of beautiful women.I thought to myself.I looked back at the broken teacup in the courtyard. An old man just walked over. He looked at us and then at the broken teacup. He showed a strange smile, but he didn’t come over to persuade the fight, and went straight into the opposite house. . Is it commonplace to quarrel like this?Yuxi also showed an unflappable attitude. My wife Miki. He turned his head and said to me, and then explained to Sister Miki: Didn't I say that I would go to the central area to attend the party?Then I went to patrol the mountains again. The party was three days ago, and you have been patrolling the mountains since then?In such a cold weather, why are you always on the mountain at night? yes.Sleep in the union office at night. He lied.Yuxi didn't sleep there at all, but of course I didn't say anything. You blunt axe!I don't care anymore!Mei Shu growled loudly. Where ah what ah.Yoki made gestures to appease Miki with both hands, he is Hirano Yuki, and he will live in our house from now on. The conversation suddenly turned to me, so I had no choice but to step forward. Nice to meet you. Without saying a word, Miki turned around and walked into the inner room. Yuxi lives with his wife, Miki, and Yuxi's grandmother, Grandma Fan. Grandma Fan sits huddled in the dining room, like a crumpled steamed bun. She is not moved when she sees Yuxi and Miki's sister and sister quarreling. , At first, I thought she was a decoration like a mummy. Alas, I have long been used to it. Grandma Fan said.Grandma Fan's waist and legs are bad, so she can't cook.Yuxi was standing in the dirt room preparing dinner, and I was sitting opposite Grandma Fan in the dining room. Sister Miki just said a blunt axe, what does that mean? Hehehe.Grandma Fan opened her toothless mouth and laughed. I helped him choose Yuxi's name, which means ax in the local dialect. At this time, I finally discovered that the pronunciation of the male dog's name Naiko actually means saw in the local dialect. Have dinner with Xi, Grandma Fan and I in the dining room.There was only rice, pickled radish, and miso soup with seaweed sprouts on the table.Miss Miki did not come out of the room inside. she seems angry Don't worry, if she is really angry, she will go back to her mother's house. Talking with Xi, he ate three bowls of rice.Grandma Fan also added another meal.With just side dishes of pickled radish and miso soup, they still have such a good appetite.I can't help but feel admiration. I am terribly panicked about the future.No matter how much I thought about living in the house of this vicious couple and dying grandmother, and working in forestry, I couldn't make it.I wanted to run away quickly, but the station was too far away, and my mobile phone couldn't be used because of my relationship with Xi. I only had a little over 30,000 yen on me.Thinking of the boundless future, I can only eat a bowl of rice. Grandma Fan will take the van that tours twice a week to the day care center for the elderly where she has lived for a long time, and she says she has already showered there and is getting ready for bed. Me, I don't have much dirt on my body now. Yuxi led Grandma Fan into a tatami room with three pings next to the toilet.OK, good night. After Yoki told me how to use the Goemon bath, which uses an iron bathtub to directly boil water for bathing, I stepped on the wooden board at the bottom and soaked in the hot water.I always feel that the body of the iron tank will be hot when I touch it, and my body is very tense.The bathtub didn't have enough space to stretch out, so I could only squat in the water for a long time.Hot water heated with firewood seems to be softer than bath water heated with gas or electricity. Yoo-hee took a shower after me.I was lying on the quilt in a room with three pings of tatami mats next to the dining room, and I heard voices coming from the room next door where the ancestral tablets were placed.Yuxi seemed to be persuading sister Meishu to take a bath as soon as possible. I'll help you heat up the water again, where? Yuxi desperately tries to please sister Miki.Before I could hear Miki's answer, I fell asleep. Forestry work is usually carried out in a team of four or five people. Nakamura Forestry Co., Ltd. has 20 employees, and employees who live in every corner of the village come to work here every day.This company mainly accepts the thinning work entrusted by the owner of the nearby private mountain forest, and at the same time, it is also responsible for maintaining the forest of the owner Zhongcun family throughout the year. I am in the same group as Yuxi, and our group is responsible for the forests of the Nakamura family, allowing me to learn the whole process from planting forests to transporting materials. Members of this group include Yuxi, Brother Qingyi, Mr. Iwa Tanabe, who is about fifty years old, and Mr. Saburo Koyama, who is seventy-four years old and healthy.Uncle Yan and Father Sanlang both live in the Shenqu area, and they are ruthless characters who have been rolling in the mountains since childhood. On the first day of work, before dawn, Yu Xi woke me up, and I reluctantly crawled out of the bed. On the low table in the dining room were two triangular objects gleaming with silver light.It turned out to be super king-sized rice balls, and each foil-wrapped rice ball weighed about three cups of rice. Miki's mood improved. Said with overwhelming joy.Doing this kind of thing can't make people move their index fingers, and it can't be called a bento. How can I feel better?However, I still held the extra-large rice ball gratefully, and took the kettle filled with tea and got into the pickup truck.Yu Xi also carried Ah Saw onto the truck. The pickup truck drove deep into the village for about ten minutes, and soon came to an unpaved road with no houses around.There is a steep slope leading to the valley, the road narrows and narrows, and finally reaches the end.Three pickup trucks had already parked in a small open space. We continue to hike up the mountain.Ah Saw was full of energy, jumping up and down the grassy slope.Yuxi went up the mountain at the same speed as walking on flat ground, without even taking a breath.He carried a rice ball wrapped in a small square towel, a kettle on his shoulder, and an ax in one hand.ax!What age, still using an axe! I took the chainsaw and desperately kept up with Yuxi.Around Yuxi's waist is a belt bag similar to that used by beauticians to store various tools.Although it seems to be trendy, Yuxi should be for practical purposes. In addition to metal tools like files, there are also inexplicable things such as cut rubber tubes, one by one, protruding from the small pocket of the waist pocket head. Lush fir trees dimmed the forest light. There is no time to maintain this area. Yoo-hee says that although he is aloof, he seems willing to teach novices. An ideal forest would be brighter and have thicker trees. I was out of breath and couldn't speak.Looking at the mountain from a distance and actually climbing the mountain, the expression of the mountain is completely different.The slope here is very steep, and the eyes can only be fixed on the feet, and there is no time to look up at other places.Some steep slopes are almost like cliffs, and people who plant forests in such places are desperate.After the trees are planted, they need to be maintained. After the trees grow up, they need to be felled and transported down the mountain.This kind of slope can't even stand upright. How did they do it? I've never been afraid of heights, but my legs couldn't help shaking because of the height in front of me and the lack of a place to stand. But I didn't want Yuxi to find out that I was afraid, so I gritted my teeth and followed Yuxi's footsteps.We crossed several ridges and the valleys were covered with deep snow.Walking on the slope, the snow on the treetops fell from time to time, and I shrank my neck in fright every time. We finally arrived at the job site for the day. Brother Qingyi, Uncle Yan and Father Sanlang have arrived long ago and are waiting for us.Uncle Yan greeted me boldly: Hello, courage.When I heard him call my name suddenly, I panicked a little.Father Sanlang smiled and asked: Yuxi and Miki quarreled fiercely yesterday, have you reconciled? At this time, I finally suddenly realized.It turned out that he was the grandfather who walked into the opposite house yesterday.Even though they are all in the same group, is it just to watch the fun when seeing the couples in the group quarreling?Why don't you come to persuade us?If we succeed in persuading the fight, maybe we can have a decent dinner.However, Sister Mishu is so angry, I have to admit that Sanlang's father's judgment is correct.In the future, I gradually learned that Papa Sanlang's ability to detect various dangers is first-rate.Ginger is really old and spicy, and years of experience are not fake. We had a good communication last night, and everything is fine. Yuxi answered without changing his face.How do they communicate well?Why did I fall asleep right away?What a loss. Listen to me, Brother Qingyi put on his hard hat and said that it will snow today, and proceed horizontally from this line to the valley row by row.let's start! Following his order, everyone immediately dispersed towards the mountainside.Uncle Yan is in the group with Papa Sanlang, with Brother Xi and Brother Qing, and I am with Brother Xi and Brother Qing.Ah Saw ran back and forth between the two groups, as if cheering for everyone. The cedar trees in this area could not bear the snow pressure, and they bent towards the valley one after another, and some trees almost touched the slope. If they are not straightened, they will look deformed, and they will not be sold at that time.Brother Qingyi told me, so shake off the snow on the tree, straighten the trunk, start from the top of the mountain, work horizontally row by row, and after finishing one row, go to fix the next row. This is the most efficient operation. Although it is a young tree, it is already three meters high. How do you shake off the snow?Secure the tree after pulling it back to a straight state?Just when I was wondering, Brother Qingyi took out the straw rope. Start by tying this to the base of a branch bent by the snow. Yu Xi took one end of the straw rope from Brother Qing Yi and tied it to the thin branch in the middle.Brother Qingyi lowered his waist and pulled the other end of the straw rope in his hand, and the top of the fir tree raised his head. At this time, one thing must be paid special attention to. Brother Qing Yi pulled the straw rope and told me that after the tree was straightened, it could no longer be pulled in the direction of the mountain.If the angle is pulled too far, it will cause dry folds when the snow accumulates next year.Or if there is no smooth snow next year, the loss will be very heavy. Brother Qing tied the other end of the straw rope to the root of the bush, and the fir tree immediately stood upright on the slope. Straw rope rots quickly, so leave it alone for now.If there are still chemical fibers in the rope, before the winter of the second year comes, it is necessary to go up the mountain to untie the rope.否則，即使積了雪，樹幹也無法壓低，就會造成幹折。 來，讓你試試。聽到清一哥這麼說，我有點不知所措。與喜正接二連三地為斜坡上的杉樹綁繩子。輸人不輸陣，我不能老是拖拖拉拉，依循著清一哥的指導下用力拉著繩子。 好重。雖然樹幹很細，剛才就連看起來力氣不如與喜的清一哥，也看似毫不費力地把樹拉了起來，但我拉的這棵樹卻一動也不動。 把腰壓低，後背和斜坡保持平行，盡全力拉。 嘿咻。 我忍不住叫了一聲，樹梢才終於抬起頭。 再用力點，還差一點。 清一哥踩踏著剛才起雪那棵樹周圍的泥土，指引著我。 對，很好。 聽到他的指示，我憋著氣，慢慢改變姿勢，打算把稻草繩綁在灌木根部。我的注意力全集中在綁繩子上，手臂的力量稍稍放掉了。 這下子杉樹立刻反彈，我因為反作用力滾下了斜坡。 一時之間我不知道發生了什麼事，總之，我要死了吧。阿鋸在遠處吠叫，最後，我的腰撞到斜坡下方的樹木，才終於不再往下滾。我撞到樹之後，樹上的積雪全都砸在我的頭上。我的工作服沾滿了泥巴，一下子就弄髒黑掉了。 喂，你沒事吧！ 我看到清一哥慌張地跑了過來。與喜看到我手腳笨拙地摸著腰，好不容易站起來的模樣，忍不住放聲大笑。 哇哈哈哈哈。 在不遠處工作的巖叔和三郎老爹聽到他的笑聲，不知道發生了什麼事，也紛紛趕了過來。 你們玩得很開心嘛。 三郎老爹瞭解狀況後，語帶羨慕地說。 害臊和疼痛讓我哭笑不得，我真的好想回家。 春天的腳步近了，此時下的雪又濕又重。 晚上躺在被子裡，也可以聽到山上的樹木折斷的聲音。啪嚓，啪嚓。山上迴盪著一聲聲清脆的聲響。 每當聽到這個聲音，就覺得於心不忍，坐立難安，很想飛奔衝上山，為幼齡樹起雪。同時，也會感到十分難過。因為山上的植樹不計其數，以我的作業速度，即使花好幾年的時間，也無法把所有被雪壓彎的幼齡樹拉起來。 當我輾轉難眠時，經過我房間去廁所的與喜就會對我說： 哪啊哪啊，即使你再怎麼擔心也無濟於事，趕快睡覺吧。 Makes sense. 從事林業工作後，即使看到樹木無法承受積雪的重量而斷掉，也只能接受這樣的事實。每一棵樹木皆無法按計畫生長。遭受雪折的樹是生命，然而為了防止樹枝折斷，盡心盡力為樹木起雪的人也是生命。雖然樹木不會動，也不會叫，但它確實地生長著，我來到神去一年，總算能體會到這份工作就是用漫長的歲月和這些樹木打交道。 但是，我才剛來神去村，當然不可能明白。 每當聽到山上傳來雪折的聲音，心裡就特別難過，但不是因為樹木折斷了，怎麼辦？感到難過，而是覺得好煩喔，又要去山上起雪了，因為失望而心情沉重。 總之，第一天上工起雪失敗讓我見識到了。 我重重地滾下斜坡，被與喜大肆取笑後，從此一蹶不振。如果我當時頭剛好撞到岩石，豈不一命嗚呼上西天了？我每次站在沒有立足之地的斜坡上作業都膽戰心驚，拉繩子時也畏畏縮縮的。 There is no job here that I am qualified for.Thinking of this, I am very annoyed.Why do you make a fool of yourself by forcing me to a place like this?I don't want to do it anymore.我獨自生著悶氣，但其實是為自己的無能感到丟臉，懊惱和生氣只是為了不願面對自己的沒出息而萌生的感情。 在山上工作時，一旦注意力無法集中，很容易發生生命危險。所以，每工作兩小時就會休息一下，吃午飯的時間也很充裕。 我們坐在斜坡上，打開便當。那片斜坡是開墾用地，待冰雪融化後，打算種植杉樹苗。灰色的雪雲布滿了天空。 這場不該在這個季節下的雪也快停了。巖叔說，到時候就要忙著整地，種樹苗了。 是啊，三郎老爹也點著頭，山上的工作並不是只有起雪而已，勇氣，你也不必害怕。 我低頭不語，我的技術毫無進步，拖累了整組的工作效率。沒有人責備我，反而讓我更難過。我整天都在盤算如何逃離這個村莊，但是，我沒有交通工具。與喜只要一回家，就把小貨車的鑰匙藏了起來。況且，我根本沒有駕照，而徒步離開神去根本是不可能的任務。即使我想在路上攔車，搭便車到車站，村民也都認識我，看樣子一定行不通。 簡直讓我進退兩難了。我啃著巨大飯糰時，遠處仍然不時傳來樹木折斷的啪嚓聲，讓人忍不住嘆氣。 what to do?三郎老爹戳了戳與喜，都是因為你欺負新手，害他整天都沒什麼精神呢哪。 我才沒有欺負他。 與喜搔了搔抱在他手上的阿鋸的脖子，事不關己地說。阿鋸搖著蓬鬆的白尾巴，掃到了我的手臂。 雖然清一哥沒說什麼，但似乎覺得再這樣下去不是辦法。有一天，雪停了，天氣晴朗，吹來了和煦暖風。 今天勇氣不用上山，清一哥說：但要負責修整庭院的樹。 在鄰近山頭工作的日子，大家一大清早都在清一哥家集合，確認作業的流程。小組成員圍在庭院的大桌子旁喝茶，冬天的時候，會在大鐵桶裡燒樹枝取暖。 雖然在上工之前就先休息很奇怪，但這想必是在神去村的哪啊哪啊精神基礎上而建立的習慣。在山上工作，只要一急躁，就準沒好事。 所有人嗎？ 與喜咬著橘子，一臉不耐地問。看他的表情，就知道他對我這個累贅感到厭煩。 不，你留下來教勇氣。三郎老爹和巖叔，還有我今天要去久須山南側的斜坡整地。 三郎老爹和巖叔嘿咻一聲站了起來，就連阿鋸也張大了鼻孔，一副好像在說包在我身上的表情。 與喜有點不滿，但他不敢違抗東家清一哥的命令。 如果他把整棵杉樹都砍了，你就不要怪我呢哪。 說著，他走向中村家主屋旁的倉庫。清一哥他們分別坐上自己的小貨車，準備上山。阿鋸一開始興奮地跟在與喜的身後，與喜不知道對牠說了什麼，牠一臉是嗎？那我走了的表情折回車旁，對著清一哥正在發動的小貨車搖著尾巴。 我抱起阿鋸，把牠放在小貨車的車斗上。清一哥從駕駛座探出頭說：一旦習慣與樹木相處後，就不會感到害怕了。今天會綁上安全帶，腳下也可以站得很穩，應該不成問題。 不用想也知道，問題可大了。 中村家的庭院周圍種了好幾棵高大的杉樹，用來阻擋從山上吹下來的風。我不知道清一哥是第幾代東家，但這棟房子絕對有悠久的歷史。周圍的杉樹有如神社周圍的樹一樣茂密。 與喜從庫房裡拿出修整樹木的工具。粗大的腰帶、一端有金屬釦環的牢固繩子，還有名叫升柱器的刀具。用兩條帶子把升柱器綁在長褲和工作鞋上，將刀刃固定於內側。只要把刀刃前端插進樹幹，即使攀上沒有枝椏的樹木，也可以輕鬆爬上去。 但這未免太難了，我一千個不願意， 把刀刃插進樹幹，不是會傷害樹幹嗎？ 反正這些樹不是用來做木材的，即使損傷也沒關係哪。 爬上樹的時候，雙腳只能靠這個刀具固定吧？這不是很不穩嗎？ 腰上有綁安全帶，沒問題的。廢話少說，趕快上吧。 與喜推了我一把，我來到庭院東側的杉樹下。樹的高度遠遠高過兩層樓房。 我聽從與喜的指示，在腰上繫了安全帶。與喜把有金屬釦環的繩子掛在我的安全帶上，繩子呈圓環狀，繞著杉樹的樹幹一周。我抱著杉樹，被繩子固定在杉樹上。 安全帶上還繫了另一根繩子，掛著鏈鋸。爬樹的時候，雙手必須騰空，爬到目標地點後，再舉起鏈鋸，把樹枝鋸下來。 爬樹的時候，只有腰上的安全帶綁在樹幹上，支撐身體。只能依靠淺淺插進樹幹的升柱器站穩雙腳。 在距離地面六公尺高的地方，怎麼可能維持這種宛如表演雜技的姿勢使用鏈鋸？ impossible.Absolutely impossible. 但與喜根本沒用升柱器，只靠著腰上的安全帶，就輕輕鬆鬆地爬上了樹。他是猴子嗎？他的安全帶上只插了那把斧頭。 What's wrong?你還不快爬呀？ 與喜像蟬一樣伏在樹幹的正中央，低頭看著還站在地上手足無措的我。 即使叫我快一點，我也沒有把握在沒有樹枝可抓的情況下，如何爬上這麼粗大的樹幹。我先用手臂抱著樹幹，想把右腳上的刀具插進樹皮，但鏈鋸和腳上的升柱器太重了，根本無法施刀，好不容易才爬了一小截。我這副蠢樣簡直就像撲倒在橫綱胸前的低級相撲力士。 忽然間，升柱器上的刀刃鬆脫，我整個人滑到了地上，下巴都被樹幹磨破了。 你在幹什麼呢哪？ 與喜嘆著氣，從樹上滑了下來，解開安全帶，站在我的身後。 我撐住你的屁股，你再試一次。 我討厭我自己不敢說不的懦弱性格。無奈之下，我再度抱著樹幹。 以腰為支點，身體稍微向後仰。 腳，腳！要把刀刃插進樹幹。 他不斷提醒我，我拚命挪動身體。因為與喜扶著我的屁股，我好不容易才爬到了超越自己身高的位置，但離有樹枝的地方還有一段距離。 很好，與喜說：你很輕，按這個要領繼續往上爬，哪啊哪啊來。 慢慢地，放鬆心情。我小心翼翼地活動手腳，也慢慢掌握了訣竅。與喜說的沒錯，只要以腰部為支點，手臂就不需要太費力。即使不看腳下，我也慢慢瞭解刀刃該以怎樣的角度插入樹幹。 very good. 與喜的聲音在我身旁響起，想不到他已經在旁邊的杉樹上，爬到和我相同的高度了。他安全帽下的雙眼露出笑意。我第一次受到稱讚，忍不住暗爽。我已經可以放開一隻手抓臉了。 繼續加油，我會告訴你該鋸哪一根樹枝。再爬高一點，別往下看。 被他這麼一說，我更想往下面看。我正要轉頭，與喜立刻抓了一把杉葉，伸手丟了過來。 我不是叫你不要看呢哪！ 杉葉打中了我的臉，掉了下去。我的目光追隨著杉葉掉落，正眼直視著地面。 我原來離地面這麼高。 我嚇得卵葩都縮了起來。讓我下去！I want to go home!我抱著樹幹，很想哭出來，但為了不被正在旁邊那棵樹上的與喜嘲笑，我拼命忍了下來。只能咬緊牙關，抬著頭，繼續往上爬。 我根本無暇欣賞風景。 該鋸掉哪些樹枝才好？如果鋸太多，就無法發揮防風的作用；如果放任不鋸，會影響屋內的採光。 鏈鋸必須隨時關上開關，以免腳下不小心打滑時，鏈鋸就會砍傷自己。 我在與喜的指導下，鋸著樹枝。整整花了一個上午，才終於完美修剪完一棵杉樹。與喜的視線始終沒有離開過，但他自己在樹木之間爬上爬下，效率是我的五倍。 中午休息回到地面時，雙腿忍不住發抖。為了不讓與喜察覺，我踩穩著每一步，在庭院的桌旁吃著巨大飯糰。飯糰裡除了酸梅和鮭魚以外，不知為何還包了可樂餅。 喔，看來美樹的心情不錯哪。 與喜看著從米飯中探出頭的可樂餅，頓時眉開眼笑。這簡直成了飯糰占卜。 陽光越來越暖和，天氣變暖時，空氣中開始混雜著各種氣味。有小河清澈水流的甘甜、即將破土而出的新鮮青草味、不知哪裡在燒枯枝的焦味，和在冬季期間死在深山的野獸散發出的腐臭味。一切都突然有了動靜，準備迎接新的季節。 從遠處山上傳來的鏈鋸聲音突然停止了。是清一哥他們嗎？他們應該也開始午休了吧。 祐子姊送來加了很多料的豬肉味噌湯。 吃完了再添，你們多吃點。 山太呢？ 與喜問。 他在後面玩瘋了。 Yeah? 山太沒有出現，與喜有點悶悶不樂。 喝完豬肉湯，整個身體都暖和起來。我們開始下午的工作。 一開始力道沒有用對地方，雙腳發抖，腰部僵硬，握著鏈鋸的手不時往下垂，但我漸漸掌握住訣竅。 身體盡可能放鬆，利用槓桿原理支撐身體，身體緊貼著樹，從容易砍的角度揮下鏈鋸。 不要因為做的順手就大意了。 與喜除了偶爾提醒我以外，便不再囉嗦什麼。這傢伙人還不錯嘛。屋後的杉樹都已經修整完畢，終於準備向西側的樹木挺進了。當然，大部分都是與喜的功勞。 鏈鋸嗡嗡作響，砍下過度茂密的樹枝。與喜用耙子把樹下的枝葉都掃成一堆。我故意對著與喜的腦袋砍下小樹枝。咚、咚地命中了與喜的安全帽。第三次時，與喜揮著拳頭怒吼： Stop it! 我猛然抬頭，發現從中村家主屋的窗戶可以看到屋內。三坪大房間的床邊擺了一個梳妝臺，貓足桌腳的焦糖色梳妝臺看起來有點舊。一個年輕女子坐在鏡子前。 女子微微張著嘴唇，正擦著淺色唇蜜。我們的視線在鏡子中交會。 她臉上的皮膚晶瑩剔透，就是個美女。她的黑色眼眸閃著調皮的神情，我的身影映照在她的眼眸中。她富有光澤的嘴唇笑了笑，臉上的表情就像情緒不定的貓。 我完全被她吸引，鏈鋸不小心砍下了不需要修剪的樹枝。巨大的樹枝帶著樹葉搖晃了一下，正中與喜的腦袋。 勇氣！ 與喜大叫一聲，丟開手上的耙子，沒有繫安全帶就爬了上來。 嗚哇哇哇，我不是故意的。你聽我解釋。 他完全不聽我的解釋，以驚人的速度逼近我的腳邊，用安全帽全力頂我的屁股。 it hurts!It hurts! 我原本想踹與喜抵抗，但腳上有刀刃。我只能慘叫著，拚命往樹上爬，逃離他的魔爪。 誰住在那個房間？ Who are you talking about? 與喜不再用頭頂我，順著我手指的方向望去。梳妝臺上蓋著白布。 Huh?剛才還在的。 女人嗎？young?美女？ Well, yes. Ha ha.與喜笑得很詭異，我告訴你，那是幽靈。 大白天有幽靈？況且，現在的時節也不對。 神去一年四季都有幽靈出沒。他一本正經地說，因為東家做了不少壞事，大部分都是清一招惹的女人陰魂不散。 How can it be? 雖然我嘴上這麼說，但我知道自己的表情很僵硬。我向來很怕幽靈或是妖怪之類的，高中時，女朋友邀我去看恐怖片，我硬是找理由推掉了。 住家附近的杉樹終於在一天之內修整完畢。傍晚的時候，清一哥他們也下山了。 我們像早上一樣圍著用鐵桶篝火取暖。周圍的樹木透出簡潔的輪廓向天空伸展。 勇氣，幹得好！ 清一哥稱讚道。他是為了增加我的自信，才要求我修整屋外的防風樹。 三郎老爹和巖叔也對我讚不絕口： 對第一次的人來說，成果很不錯。 與喜再怎麼厲害，一個人也很難再一天之內就完成。 於是，我開始有了再留在這裡努力看看的念頭，也對正默默地捆綁落地樹枝的與喜刮目相看。 主屋的紙拉門打開了，傳來山太的聲音。 直紀，你要走了嗎？ 我改天再來，你要乖乖聽媽媽的話喔。 走出玄關的正是剛才坐在梳妝臺前的女人。 誰說她是幽靈的？ 我壓低嗓門問與喜，與喜卻假裝沒聽到。真是狗嘴裡吐不出象牙。 直紀，要不要我送妳？ 正在火旁取暖的清一哥問她。那位名字聽起來好像男生的直紀冷冷地說： 不用了，我騎機車來的。 然後，她從倉庫推出一輛川崎重型機車。她推著機車，沿著石子路推向馬路。她是東家的什麼人？我很想問別人，但似乎沒有人會回答我的問題。因為在這個小村莊裏，大家都是熟人，所以，神去村的人從來沒有互相介紹的想法。 直紀要再哪啊哪啊點。 三郎老爹說道，其他人也都頻頻點頭，異口同聲地說：是啊，是啊。 啊喲，她已經走了嗎？ 祐子姊從主屋走了出來，拿了一個包了保鮮膜的盤子歎著氣。我還想叫她把菜帶回家。 她拿了這盤菜要怎麼騎機車？不對，等一下，這搞不好是我逃離神去村的天賜良機。 我的確順利完成了一天的工作，也因為得到了組內其他成員的認同暗爽不已。但是，我根本不想做什麼林業的工作。我是被老媽和阿熊陷害，才會來到神去村這種鬼地方。 什麼再留在這裡努力看看啊，我到底在想什麼？我太大意了，差點就被綁住了。 我去拿給直紀小姐。 我從祐子姊手上搶過盤子，跑向馬路的方向。Hello!與喜叫著我，但我頭也不回。 直紀矯健豪邁地騎上機車，正在暖車。低沉的引擎聲在山裡迴響。 這是祐子姊要給妳的。 直紀看了看我遞給她的盤子說： I do not want. 她戴上挾在腋下的全罩式安全帽，馬上就要騎走了。我慌忙說： 那我幫妳拿，但妳可不可以送我到車站？ What? 我有事要去松阪，我剛領到薪水，想買點東西寄給我父母。我已經向清一哥報備了。 我把老爸給我的三萬圓隨時戴在身上，以備不時之需。有了這筆錢，應該足夠讓我逃離這裡了。 你看，我的薪水。 我從口袋裡拿出信封。 上面明明寫著程儀。 慘了，我忘了這件事。 Huh?Hey hey. 我只能笑著掩飾。直紀露出懷疑的眼神。 反正不關我的事，她說，你有沒有安全帽？ have. 我戴上工務用安全帽坐在直紀後方。我可以抱她的腰嗎？ 出發囉。機車的引擎轟隆轟隆響，你可別哭呢哪。 機車像箭一樣衝了出去，我差點被甩下車。我不顧盤子飛向後方，慌忙抓住直紀。哇，她的腰又細又軟。但我只得意了一剎那，因為直紀以驚人的速度狂飆起來。 Whoa! 我嚇得眼淚、鼻涕直流，但立刻被風吹走了。在這麼狹窄的山路上狂飆，萬一遇到對向來車怎麼辦？雖然我這麼想，但直紀不停按著喇叭，及時遇到轉彎也照衝不誤。車體大幅傾斜，膝蓋幾乎快要碰到地上了。 get me out of the car! 我大叫起來。更可怕的是，與喜開著小貨車追了上來。與喜一手握著方向盤，從駕駛座探出頭大叫著： 勇氣，你想逃嗎！I can't spare you! 他齜牙咧嘴，簡直就像凶神惡煞。大事不妙了。 直紀越飆越快，與喜也緊追不放。他的小貨車裝的是什麼引擎？他們在山路上競速追車，如果嚇昏了，肯定小命不保了。我拚命激勵自己，發揮最大的毅力保持清醒，但每隔十五秒，腦筋就會一片空白。 機車和小貨車幾乎同時抵達車站。在車站等電車的老太太一臉吃驚地看著我們。我下了機車，正要走向車站，但雙腿直發抖，幾乎無法站立。我只能用爬的，卻被與喜踩住了背。 直紀，妳還是這麼猛。 因為載了點貨，今天差一點輸給你，直紀笑了起來，改天再玩吧。 最後一句
