Ghosts of the Mountains of Tayton

She didn't seem to notice that I was blushing, and she was still talking about something in a good mood.

"Speaking of which, Nakajima, I heard that there are hot springs on this mountain too!"

"Uh-huh."

"Everyone is planning to go soaking together tonight. Nakajima invites Dazai-san to come together?"

I smiled wryly.If Mr. Dazai goes, I'm afraid there will be a farce of entering the water...

Wait a minute... I seem to have overlooked something.

"Miss Axiang, where is the hot spring?"

"Under the mountain road, a few miles away from the house, there is an abandoned soup restaurant. I heard that the soup restaurant had a good business before the house was abandoned. But now there are only open-air hot springs left there."

I thought about it, and felt that Mr. Dazai should not go to such a place to enter the water by himself, so I was a little relieved.

"My father is going to have a meeting tonight. Everyone should come. Nakajima and Dazai-san should come too."

The living room is relatively large, and there is a glass door facing the back courtyard. At first I thought there was no door to enter the courtyard, but I didn't expect the door to be in the living room.

Everyone was going to the meeting in the evening, and of course I had to be there.It was also the first time I noticed that there were so many people in a crew, and everyone was sitting in the living room in the dark.

Mr. Dazai and I sat on the edge, and Mr. Dazai yawned boredly.

I saw that the woman playing the heroine was wearing a black gown, with exquisite hair, like a winner, while the actress next to her had a gloomy expression, and the relationship between the two seemed to be not very good.

"Surprised?" Ah Xiang sat down beside me and whispered, "Is this the first time I've seen such a scene?"

I nodded honestly.

"Actually, my father's production team is not big. Although we are making movies, we are not as big-name as everyone thinks. We are just making some ordinary small movies to sell money." Ah Xiang said embarrassedly.

Mr. Dazai suddenly asked: "Then Miss Axiang came with her father?"

"Yeah, don't look at me like this, I'm also a singer, although I'm not popular." The girl smiled.

I was taken aback: "Singer?!" Then should I take the opportunity to ask for some autographs?

"Yes." Ash said with a shy smile.

"Speaking of which, all the actors here are well-known actors, don't you want to ask for autographs one by one?" Mr. Dazai said with a smile as if he could see through my thoughts.

"Eh……"

"Or do you only want the signature of the beautiful Miss Axiang?" Mr. Dazai smiled lightly.

"Please don't say any more." I was ashamed.

"Well, Ms. Izumo, who plays the heroine, is indeed very beautiful. I heard that she is playing an innocent girl, right?"

"Yes, the second female lead, Miss Naye, plays the heroine's mother."

"Eh?! I really didn't expect it. I think they look about the same age. Why do they play so different roles?"

Axiang looked a little unnatural: "That's true, that's right, Ms. Izumo and Ms. Naye are also quite controversial about this point. The two ladies once quarreled in private in order to compete for the leading role... I accidentally saw it This scene."

"Since that's the case, wouldn't it be good to replace it with an older actor?"

"but……"

"I remember that Ms. Naye is more famous, but my father probably has some reason to keep Ms. Izumo."

Ah Xiang looked a little annoyed: "I don't know either." She looked in the direction of the Kisaki couple and murmured, "I don't know what they are thinking..."

At 10 o'clock in the evening, the meeting was dismissed, and I went to the crew to find bedding according to the preface. On the way back, I saw Axiang sitting in the courtyard of the platform.

It happened to be a full moon at night, and the moonlight was shining brightly on the sky. When I looked up, I could see a huge locust tree planted in the backyard.The leaves are thick and dense, showing a dense black.

"Miss Axiang?" I saw her looking up at the tree with a blanket on her head.

"Ah, Lord Dun."

"Didn't you go to the hot spring?"

She laughed when she heard the words: "The girls just arrived at the hot spring, and they found a half-figure in the water. They hurriedly dragged it up, only to find that it was Mr. Dazai, who was dripping wet."

What?Did he run into the hot spring without seeing him for a while?That being said, it's true that I haven't seen him since just now.

Ah Xiang smiled and said, "As soon as we discussed it, we couldn't take a bath in the hot spring today, so we all came back."

"I'm so sorry! I've caused you trouble!"

"It's okay, actually I don't want to see the cold war between Yun and Ms. Naye..." Ah Xiang whispered, "Don't see that Ms. Yun is a little arrogant, but she is a very gentle person."

I recalled that delicate-faced woman, but I couldn't imagine how gentle she was.

"When I was alone and helpless, Ms. Izumo was also a rare friend." Ah Xiang's voice suddenly became ethereal.

"Dun Jun, you seem to be about the same age as me, so you come out to work?" She said with a faint smile, "Did your parents not object?"

I replied with some embarrassment: "I have no parents anymore. I grew up in an orphanage, but I was kicked out and taken in by Mr. Dazai."

"Are you an orphan too?" Ah Xiang opened her eyes wide.

I don't know where her "also" comes from.

"I also stayed in the orphanage before." Ah Xiang said seriously.

"Ah?" I was a little surprised, "So, you are not the biological daughter of the Kisaki couple..."

"Well, it was my father at the beginning. At that time, Mr. Kisaki came to see us in the orphanage. Then one day he found that I could sing well and asked me if I would like to live in his house."

I was a little bit envious: "It must be a happy thing to be adopted by others and not have to stay in the orphanage."

Ah Xiang's smile gradually faded: "Well... I'm afraid that's how it is in your eyes."

I panicked: "Did I say something wrong?"

"No." She smiled again, "Dun is really a gentle person, but I can't be as strong as you."

I don't know why, but it seems that the girl has something on her mind.

"By the way, Dunjun, do you know the legend about this house?" Ah Xiang asked suddenly.

"I've heard a bit. It seems that a family was bitten to death by wolves in the middle of the night, right?"

"No, it wasn't bitten to death by a wolf, it was hacked to death by the owner of this house, Tosaburo, with an ax." Axiang shook her head and said.

I was startled, and I was too dumb to speak.

"In the 30s of the Showa era, Mr. Fuji inherited the family business and built this house on the mountain. He had a beautiful wife and a daughter who was young in cardamom. Originally, Mr. Fuji had a gentle personality, and the residents in the mountain liked it very much. He, but with the poor management, his property became less and less, and he gradually began to drink heavily. Speaking of which, he was not good at doing business at all, but in the end he lost all his property."

"Later, for some reason, he suspected that his wife was communicating with others. One night, when he was drunk, he chopped off his wife's head. His youngest daughter witnessed this scene with his own eyes. Mr. Teng took his wife's body The body was thrown into the river, and the younger daughter was hacked to death. The younger daughter begged hard before dying, but was still buried under the tree. Fujisaburo also went mad in this incident and disappeared.”
