About the fact that I unintentionally raised my sister to be a cripple - Chapter 509 New Year’s Misfortune (15)

Sakakibara killed enough wild deer to feed several people until the fourth day.

But in fact, in the early morning of the penultimate day of the New Year, that is, the early morning of the third day of the disaster, the helicopter sent by the Tianhai family followed the smoke of the bonfire and found several people.

As for why the Tianhai family came so quickly, it also benefited from Tianhai Maodian’s foresight.

The uncle knew the time when several people arrived at the Kussharo Lake Scenic Area. When several people had not arrived after a day and at the same time they could not be contacted, he notified the Tianhai family and asked them to wait until the wind and snow had obviously weakened. Later, helicopters were sent to search the mountainous areas around Asahikawa City.

After getting on the plane, Sakakihara Raku realized why there was a hot spring where the few people were staying.

It turns out that the location of these people is only 30 kilometers away from Lake Kussharo in a straight line, just around the volcano.

When Sakakibara saw his uncle in the helicopter, he felt that he was too embarrassed to see him.

Facing his uncle’s serious face, he could only try to say “Good morning, uncle” as usual.

The noise from the helicopter was very loud, but luckily I could still hear each other’s conversations clearly.

“Good morning? You’re such a brat, you’re really annoying.”

“Uncle, it happened so suddenly that I didn’t expect the snow to be so heavy. Several main roads were blocked. I can’t find any way to go back the way I came.”

“.” Tianhai Maodian just stared at him silently and said nothing.

His uncle is currently both his stepfather and his father-in-law.

When faced with the pressure he put on him, Sakakihara was quite frightened.

Amami Madenori turned his head and looked at another helicopter in the sky from the helicopter’s cabin.

Below, Qiyue Liuli and the others were gradually ascending along the ladder lowered by the helicopter.

“Uncle, don’t worry, they are not injured.”

“Yeah, he looks pretty good.”

“Thanks to the complete camping equipment I brought.” Sakakibara said with a smile.

“What did you eat in the mountains these two days? The food you brought there in advance?”

“Hare grilled fish or something, because we had already prepared a camping barbecue, so we brought a lot of seasonings. We also hit a hot spring on the way, so we don’t have to worry about keeping warm at night.”

It sounds like this brat is living quite happily in the mountains with the rest of them.

Amami Madenori didn’t want to say more about this brat. Originally, she wanted to blame him for bringing several girls to such a dangerous place.

But it seems that he is doing well as always in taking care of people.

The heavy snow closed the mountain and turned it into mountain camping for him.

Meihe had been anxious for most of the day, but it was all in vain. This brat was more comfortable taking a few people with him than just the two of them on vacation.

I don’t know whether to praise him or scold him.

“Please pay attention to the weather next time you go out.”

“Of course, I will definitely pay attention next time I go out.”

*

“Ah – it’s better to be in a crowded place!”

At the end of the year, the Bu0026Bs in scenic spots are still crowded with people. I wonder if it is the annual holiday, so most people have time to run out.

Next to the wooden Bu0026Bs unique to the countryside, there are countless tents pitched in the snow.

Between these tents, there are bonfires and camping barbecue grills that have just been set up.

The landscape of Hokkaido is as flat, empty, and white as ever.

Suddenly flying out of the mountains and seeing this refreshing snowy scenery, Sakakihara Raku didn’t know what other people were thinking.

But he felt particularly at home.

“By the way, brother! We left by helicopter, but what about our motorcycles in the mountains?”

“.Why didn’t you think of asking about this until now?”

Sakakibara Suzu smiled silly, her purple eyes narrowed, “I was so excited when I got on the helicopter that I didn’t expect this. Could it be that I have to wait for the snow to melt before driving back?”

“How is that possible,” Raku Sakakibara explained, “according to what my uncle said, Yakubo hired a helicopter anyway, and the motorcycle was lifted out of the mountainous area by helicopter.”

“.”

“What’s wrong?”

“How much does this cost?”

“This is the Tianhai family’s helicopter.”

“Impossible! Aren’t Tianhai’s family in Tokyo?”

Hearing this, Sakakihara pointed to his feet expressionlessly, “Why do you think the helicopter can leave so quickly?”

“Hmm. The search and rescue team from Hokkaido that my uncle spent a lot of money to hire?”

“Wrong! It’s because the Tianhai family is responsible for the development of this scenic spot! The equipment in the surrounding scenic spots, such as airplanes, large hotels, etc., all belong to the Tianhai family.”

Sakakihara Raku stretched out his hand as he spoke.

Suzu Sakakihara looked in the direction of his finger and happened to see the logo of a subsidiary of Tianhai Group on the helicopter.

Those who brought everyone back emotionally are all the assets of the Tianhai family.

If I travel such a long distance for half a day, the place I travel to is also my own land.

Sakakihara Suzu knew this.

Sakakihara Suzu is used to this kind of thing.

But she didn’t expect that Tianhai Family would actually be involved in a place as quiet as Hokkaido.

“It’s not that the Tenkai family is interested in this place alone, but that the entire tourism development in Hokkaido is undertaken or participated by the Tenkai Group, and Asahikawa City, the second largest city in Hokkaido, is naturally included.”

Sakakibara Suzu raised her face, “Isn’t Tianhai Group a pharmaceutical group? Why did it suddenly start real estate development again?”

Sakakihara smiled and put his hand on her head, “I thought the same way you did at first, Suzu.”

At this time, Tianhai Jiuliuli came over and told the two of them to continue setting off.

This is at the foot of the mountain near the ski resort, and is considered one of the gathering places for scenic Bu0026Bs and tourists.

They are now going to a large hotel located in the mountains and forests beside the lake.

It is built against the mountain peaks and on the hot spring belt. It is the most unique and expensive hotel in the entire scenic area.

As soon as they got off the car, they met Miwa Amami who was waiting for them at the door of the hotel.

Seeing her anxious mother, Sakakihara Suzu first scolded her brother for blindly leading the way and putting everyone in danger, and then turned her attention to herself.

Fortunately, my mother only looked at it once or twice and didn’t say much.

“I know I was wrong.”

My brother is still apologizing to my mother.

“Forget it, just hope you’re fine. It’s hard to stay in the mountains these past two days, right? It’s been so cold these past two nights.”

Sakakihara Suzu jumped out in time, “Mom, you are wrong! We found a natural hot spring on the mountain! We went there to take a bath at night.”

“spa.?”

Tianhai Meihe was stunned for three or four seconds, and then her eyes wandered over her daughter, son, and the other three girls for a moment.

She seemed to realize something.

“So you all take baths together at night?”

Sakakihara Suzu was stunned. She didn’t expect that her mother would ask such a question. Her face turned red and she said, “The pond is very big. Mom, please stop thinking about it.”

Sakakibara was quite embarrassed and subconsciously peeked at Amami Nanamigetsu next to him.

Then he found that she was also looking at him

Tianhai Meihe breathed a sigh of relief and said nothing more:

“It’s good that everyone is back. Let’s take a break today and recuperate. It will be the New Year in two days. Let’s all have a meal here to celebrate the New Year.”

“Are you celebrating the New Year here?” Sakakihara Suzu asked immediately.

“Just at the hotel, let’s have a meal together and be reunited.”

*

Celebrate New Year at Lake Kussharo.

It didn’t matter where Sakakihara spent the New Year, but he realized that he had not prepared any New Year’s gifts this year.

This guy A Ling is always mocking his bastard brother, who is “disrespectful” every year.

In order to celebrate the New Year, my uncle specially rented a large room in a hot spring hotel in the scenic area so that everyone could have a New Year party.

But you can’t prepare nothing for the New Year, right?

It is necessary to prepare some New Year decorations, New Year greeting cards, New Year dishes, crabs and special salmon from supermarket year-end promotions.

And there are none of these things.

Therefore, Sakakibara had no choice but to ride his motorcycle and go to the city to buy ingredients and New Year items.

By the way, he also had to buy a few red envelopes and give them to A Ling Yuki and the others as a token gift.

“What? You also want to go with me in July.”

“Um.”

“Aren’t you going to help Liuli’s mother prepare the New Year’s Eve dinner?”

“They don’t need my help for the time being. Ling and Zhiyuki are watching TV in the room with the heater on.”

Sakakibara put on his helmet, glanced at the snowy road and said back, “It’s quite a distance from the city, and it’s still very cold. Just stay in the hotel and enjoy the heating. Why are you going to suffer with me?”

Tianhai Qimingyue frowned, “Just go, don’t talk so much.”

I care about you and yet you are so cruel

Okay, okay, who told you to be my second wife?

Listen to you.

“Who do you think is your second wife?”

“Hiss I was wrong.”

No matter what, it’s great to have someone to accompany you to the city.

Liuli wanted to accompany him, but some things could be purchased in the scenic spot. She wanted to help her mother, so she naturally lost this opportunity.

Yuki is afraid of the cold, while Ah Ling is just plain lazy.

After staying in the mountains for several days, she was so frozen by the cold air that she didn’t want to go out at all.

When July put on his helmet and sat in the back seat of Sakakibara Raku, he immediately started the engine, gripped the handle, and started driving along the road beside Kussharo Lake towards the city.

Driving down the mountain road.

The Kussharo Lake passing by is beautiful, vast and spectacular. Even in winter, it shows crystal clear blue.

White geese and tourist sailboats appear on the lake at the same time, echoing the continuous snow-white mountains behind it, just like a paradise.

The scenery is beautiful, but riding a motorcycle against the wind in the cold winter is quite touching. Not long after riding on the road, my body started to shiver with cold.

Until Tianhai Qimingyue reached out and hugged her from behind.

Even though the actual temperature was only for a moment, my heart still felt warm.

The cold wind of the winter moon blew into the gaps in his coat, but he couldn’t help but smile on his face.

“Why has Qi Qi been so clingy to me recently? Wasn’t he so fierce just now?”

“Who clings to you? I’m just afraid that you’ll die of cold in the car.”

“He’s starting to talk nonsense again.”

Arrive at the urban area of ​​Asahikawa City.

Not long after, the place was still decorated with red hats and Christmas trees for Christmas. In just a few days, the surrounding restaurants and residential houses all hung kadomatsu in front of their doors. The torii gate at the entrance of the small shrine was also painted with brand new red paint, transforming it into a Christmas decoration. It became a scene to welcome the New Year.

The motorcycle stopped in front of a large supermarket in the city.

A few days ago, there were basically no people in Asahikawa City’s urban area, but now there is an endless stream of people.

“Take it.”

As soon as he got out of the car and took off his helmet, Sakakihara Raku saw Nanami Nanami handing him a greeting card decorated with plum blossoms and pine trees.

“.What’s this?”

“The first gift of the new year. It’s for you. It contains the New Year’s message I wrote for you.”

“.”

Sakakibara hesitated for two seconds and looked at the girl standing in front of him who was obviously thoughtful.

“So you are coming to the city with me in July just to give me this greeting card?”

“if not?”

Sakakihara smiled and took it from her hand, and asked: “Why don’t you wait until tomorrow or tonight during the New Year to give it to me.”

“Considering that there are so many people around you, it would be better to find a separate opportunity to send this kind of thing out in advance.”

It seems that Qi Qi’s little idea is that she wants to give this thing to herself alone

The greeting card looks exquisite.

Gilded plum blossoms and pine trees hover on both sides of the card. In the middle of the card, there are the words “Congratulations on the New Year”.

You don’t need to look at it to know that the letter inside the greeting card was definitely handwritten to herself in July.

“What did you write this year?”

“You’ll find out when you go back and open it.”

Sakakihara noticed that her eyes were evading, “Then can I open it now and take a look?”

Tianhai Qimingyue paused for a second, turned away her red cheeks, and then replied: “Whatever you want.”

This fierce aunt is still blushing?

After giving a strange glance to the girl in front of him, Sakakihara opened the New Year’s card given to him in July.

[

Regards, brother.

By the evening of December 21, 2023, the weather had turned cold.

The temperature this year seems to be much lower than last year. When I take out the pen and paper, the pinprick sensation I can feel is more obvious than last year. Because of this, when I was trying to write my best wishes to my brother this year, I was slow to put pen to paper.

I tried to think about whether there were any gaps or omissions in my brother’s life that I needed to remind or pay attention to.

But unfortunately, I have been thinking about this issue for a long time and haven’t been able to think of it.

This means that during this year, the brother’s life has become perfect and happy, and he no longer needs external reminders or corrections.

Judging from the letter I sent to my brother last year, it seems that my brother has begun to learn to take more care of himself.

Therefore, this time I want to write about some things that I have never dared to write and do not want to write about.”,
