This Japanese Story Is Not Too Cold

Chapter 494 What medicine is in the gourd of Beichuan Temple (4000 words)

"Have you got any clue? Brother Beichuan?"

Inari Keiichi dragged the chair over and asked in a low voice.

"I have some ideas, but I still need something to implement..."

Beichuan Temple replied without any fluctuation in his voice.

Do you already have an idea?

Inari Kazuhime and Inari Kei looked at each other.

Then the two men stood up.

"I'm sorry, Miss Anda, we need to discuss your strange dream with Brother Beichuan... Can I borrow your entrance for a while?"

"Ah... there is no problem with this. Please do so." Yoshiko Adachi was very reasonable. She didn't care that the three of them left her aside and discussed the matter secretly.

Inari Kazuhime and Inari Keiichi pulled Kitagawaji to the entrance, and then took a look at the living room.

After they realized that Yoshiko Adachi had no intention of following, they lowered their voices and asked:

"Brother Beichuan...that's what you really mean, right?"

"that?"

Kitagawaji frowned, as if he didn't understand what Inari Kazuhime and Inari Keiichi meant. .

"What...you don't have to keep it secret when you face us."

Inari Kazuhime had an expression on her face that said, "You are so outspoken."

"No, I really don't know what you are talking about."

Beichuanji said calmly.

Well...

Inari Keiichi and Inari Kazuhime looked at each other, and then lowered their voices again, for fear that Adachi Yoshiko inside would hear the same thing and say:

"Brother Beichuan, don't you want to say, 'It was Miss Anda who killed her mother, and then her mother became resentful and turned into resentment to haunt her'?"

Yes.

This is the guess of Inari Keiichi and Inari Kazuhime.

Adachi Yoshiko has no resentment or good intentions in her body, and she looks like just an ordinary person.

But since I have that kind of nightmare every day, bruises like human hands will appear on my neck.

This essentially explains something.

Resentment definitely exists, but it exists in a place that Kitagawaji and the Inari brothers and sisters cannot see.

But at the same time, there are also several problems.

Why is Adachi Yoshiko so filled with resentment?

Resentment cannot arise out of thin air, and there are many reasons for resentment to arise.

And Yoshiko Adachi has already said before that when she took her mother out for a trip, she saw her mother slip off a cliff and accidentally fall to her death.

This is probably the only accident where she comes into contact with the ‘dead’ and ‘resentment’.

But why did Yoshiko Adachi's mother turn into resentment and wrap around her body?

No matter how you think about it, there is only one outcome, right?

That is Yoshiko Adachi killed her mother. Her mother could not let go of her resentment, so she turned into resentment and haunted Yoshiko Adachi. This is the origin of the strange dream——

"Is this your speculation?"

Kitagawa Temple raised his eyebrows and asked slightly surprised.

"Well... if we speculate based on what Brother Beichuan just asked, this is probably the answer we can get, right?"

Inari Keiichi and Inari Kazuhime looked at each other and scratched their heads in confusion:

"But... to be honest, I never imagined that the gentle Miss Anda would do such a thing..."

"Huh? Do you do such a thing?"

This was an overly steady question.

But just such a steady and quiet voice made Inari Kazuhime and Inari Keiichi instantly get goosebumps on their bodies.

Cold sweat also fell unconsciously.

It turned out that Adachi Yoshiko was already standing behind them before they knew it.

When did Yoshiko Adachi come?

How much of the conversation just now did she hear?

Thinking of this, Inari Kazuhime and Inari Keiichi felt as if they were in an ice cave, with their hands and feet so cold that they couldn't control themselves.

At this time, Beichuan Temple's cold voice also sounded:

"It's nothing. Miss Anda. Speaking of which, why did you come out suddenly?"

"Ah...because the tea for you three has gone cold, I thought of asking you if you would like a new cup..."

Yoshiko Adachi blinked in confusion: "What's wrong? Have you disturbed your conversation?"

She still had the same gentle smile on her face, as calm as if she didn't know anything.

"No...Actually, I, Kazuki and Keiichi have almost finished talking, and I just wanted to go back to the living room."

Seeing Kitagawaji calmly answering Yoshiko Adachi, Inari Kazuhime and Inari Keiichi couldn't help but feel admiration in their hearts.

To be able to remain expressionless and maintain his usual appearance under such circumstances... He is indeed the eldest brother Beichuan.

"Really? About adding tea..." Adachi Yoshiko tilted her head.

More tea?

Hearing this word, Inari Kazuhime and Inari Keiichi immediately thought of the word "drug".

Could it be that Yoshiko Adachi found out about her and they found out about her, so she wanted to poison them and Kitagawaji to kill them?

Then we should refuse without hesitation...

Inari Kazuhime wanted to refuse, but the next second she was calmly interrupted by Kitagawaji:

"Ms. Anda, could you please help me get another cup of tea?"

"ah?!"

Inari Kazuhime made a surprised sound.

This weird cry made Yoshiko Adachi couldn't help but turn around and look at her: "What's wrong? What happened? Miss Ichiki?"

Inari Kazuhime hurriedly covered her mouth and shook her head vigorously:

"No...no, it's nothing."

"Really..." Adachi Yoshiko looked back suspiciously, then looked at Beichuan Temple with a smile: "Then I will go back to help you refill your tea, please wait a moment."

With that said, she turned around and walked quickly back to the living room.

Seeing Yoshiko Adachi's increasingly questionable actions, Inari Kazuhime finally couldn't bear it any longer. She turned to look at Kitagawa Temple: "Yoshiko Adachi is probably going to give medicine. What should we do if it's poison?"

"Dose medicine?" Kitagawa Temple frowned, and then glanced at the expression of Keiichi Inari, who was a little anxious beside her.

Kitagawaji knew what the Inari brothers and sisters were thinking in an instant. He shook his head and said in a calm voice: "You two... really underestimate the social relationships and emotional changes between people, and you too underestimate them. You underestimated Yoshiko Adachi."

As he spoke, Beichuanji moved his feet and said without looking back:

"Don't think about what's there and what's not. Come here quickly. There are some things I want to ask."

Seeing Beichuanji like this, the Inari siblings could only bite the bullet and follow him into the living room.

At this time, Adachi Yoshiko was serving tea to the three of them.

"Please use."

The steaming green tea was like snake and scorpion poison under the eyes of the Inari brothers and sisters. The more they looked at it, the more they felt there was something wrong with it, so they didn't drink it.

Compared to them, Kitagawa Temple seemed much more natural. Under the incredulous gazes of the Inari brothers and sisters, Kitagawa Temple took a sip of tea and then asked:

"I've said so much before, but actually I still have a few questions to ask Miss Anda."

"Ah...please ask Mr. Kitagawa."

Adachi Yoshiko smiled and stretched out her hand, signaling Beichuan Temple to ask questions.

"About when did you start having nightmares? Does Ms. Anda remember it?"

"When did it start...? Ah...if I have to say it, it should be shortly after my mother died. I started having nightmares after my mother died."

Adachi Yoshiko showed a thoughtful look and then answered.

Her answer made the Inari siblings stare blankly.

The time is right too!

According to their speculation, Yoshiko Adachi killed her mother, and then Yoshiko Adachi's mother was filled with resentment... This should be the process!

Inari Kazuhime and Inari Keiichi looked towards Kitagawa Temple subconsciously.

Could it be that what Kitagawaji said just now, "You guys underestimate Yoshiko Adachi too," meant this?

But what about the modus operandi?

How did the other party get away with it?

Inari Kazuhime and Inari Keiichi conducted various brainstorming sessions.

Kitagawaji didn't pay attention to the two of them. He took another sip of tea, and then gently rubbed the surface of the teacup with his index finger.

after awhile.

Kitagawaji let go of his hand and looked at Yoshiko Adachi: "Ms. Adachi, this next question may be a bit personal...but I still hope you can answer me."

As if aware of Kitagawaji's serious expression, Adachi Yoshiko also suppressed a bit of her smile and straightened her face:

"...please ask."

"I wonder if Miss Anda's mother...is living a happy life?"

Beichuanji asked an irrelevant question without any hesitation.

"Mother?" Yoshiko Adachi showed a look of surprise, and then a smile of reminiscence appeared on her face:

"How should I put it...my mother's life...should be considered unhappy."

Adachi Yoshiko's assertion made Kitagawaji subconsciously cast his gaze on her face.

She still had a reminiscing smile on her face.

Kitagawaji remained silent, waiting for Yoshiko Adachi to continue speaking.

"My mother has always been a person who likes to smile. She is always cheerful, no matter who she treats. She worked hard for me and finally let me go to college...she has worked hard for me all her life. So I I don’t think she’s happy.”

Yoshiko Adachi put her hands on the table, took a deep breath, and continued:

"To be honest, my first holiday after I found a job was to take my mother around. Let her experience the feeling of happiness... This May Day holiday is the same. I want my mother to be happy... but I don't I never expected that something like that would happen in the end.”

Adachi Yoshiko's hands were squeezed together tightly, and her body was trembling slightly.

at last.

She let go of her hand and showed an apologetic smile: "I'm very sorry, Mr. Beichuan, I lost my temper."

"Understandable."

Kitagawaji nodded, then glanced at Yoshiko Adachi and said, "Speaking of which, I heard Miss Adachi say before that Aunt Adachi left you an amulet, right?"

"Ah... Mr. Kitagawa should be talking about this, right?"

Yoshiko Adachi lowered her collar again, and then took off an amulet connected by a knotted rope from her chest.

It was a yellow 'gomori', which is the Japanese amulet.

This royal guard looks a bit old, but overall it is still very intact. It is obvious that Adachi Yoshiko took great care of it.

Adachi Yoshiko stroked the royal guard and said softly: "This is the only thought my mother left for me. Eight years ago, when I was about to apply for the Art University, my mother went to the shrine to ask for it for me. I passed the imperial guard. After that, I was successfully admitted to the University of Arts... I think this must be due to my mother's blessing. The imperial guard is something that is meant to be carried close to my body, so I always hang it on my chest."

Tokyo University of the Arts, also known as Tokyo University of the Arts.

Being able to successfully enter one can be considered an elite person.

Even though the family's financial situation was not good, she was still admitted to the National Art University... Yoshiko Adachi's mother must have paid a lot silently behind her back.

But why...

Inari Kazuhime and Inari Keiichi looked at Yoshiko Adachi, who caressed the pale yellow guardian lovingly.

Why did Yoshiko Adachi kill her mother?

Just as the two of them were thinking, Beichuanji's voice rang again:

"I wonder if Miss Anda can let me take a look at this royal guard?"

"Huh?" Yoshiko Adachi blinked, and then smiled: "There is nothing wrong with just taking a look, but I hope Mr. Kitagawa will not treat this guard roughly."

In Japan, the guardian is actually a symbol of wishes. And 'destroying the guardian' or 'opening the guardian' means releasing the power of the gods inside to fulfill wishes.

This is a taboo for Japanese imperial guards.

"I understand." Beichuan Temple nodded.

He reached out and took the imperial guard handed over by Adachi Yoshiko, looking at it over and over.

This looks like an ordinary qualified royal guard, with light yellow as the main color, green water patterns and red flowers on it, and it looks very delicate.

Beichuanji raised his hand and turned Yushou over again, intending to continue to look at him.

Then--

Boom! ! ! !

The vase placed next to the TV table suddenly exploded. While fragments were scattered all over the floor, the water inside poured all over the floor.

This not only diverted Yoshiko Adachi's attention, but also the eyes of Inari Kazuhime and Inari Keiichi were instantly attracted.

"Ah ah...why is it like this all of a sudden?"

Yoshiko Adachi hurried to the vase on the TV table with a sad look on her face: "This is the vase I just bought..."

Then she realized that there were siblings Kitagawaji and Inari behind her.

Adachi Yoshiko turned around hurriedly and bowed to Kitagawaji and Inari siblings: "I'm sorry, you three, I'm going to clean the vase fragments. I may not be able to continue chatting with you for the time being...Well, if If you don’t mind, please sit a little longer and I’ll pack it up right away.”

But after hearing Yoshiko Adachi's words, Beichuan Temple put the light yellow guardian on the table again: "There is no need to trouble Miss Adachi to entertain us. We will leave now."

ah? ! ! !

Inari Kazuhime and Inari Keiichi were completely unable to understand.

Leaving now?

No...don't you have a clue? Why are you planning to leave now?

The two of them looked at Beichuan Temple in surprise and confusion, with expressions on their faces that they didn't understand what he was thinking.

But compared to them, Adachi Yoshiko's attitude was much more frank. She stood up and said, "Hey? Then I'll give you one as a gift..."

"You're welcome, Miss Anda, please leave the vase to collect the fragments. We will come to visit you tomorrow."

Beichuan Temple waved his hand, indicating that Yoshiko Adachi was welcome.

"That's... okay. I didn't entertain you well enough."

Yoshiko Adachi put the guard back on her neck and said sheepishly.

After a few more pleasantries, they turned around and left.

Looking at the closed door in front of her, Inari Kazuhime, who was full of questions, finally couldn't help it anymore:

"Beichuan...Brother, what on earth do you want to do?"

Yes.

What exactly is Beichuan Temple planning to do?

Why did you leave so soon?

What kind of medicine does he sell in his gourd?
