As we all know, Japan is a country prone to earthquakes. In the past 22 years alone, there have been hundreds of large and small earthquakes. Among them, Kanto and the nearby sea areas have been very active seismic zones since ancient times. In scientific terms,
In other words, the Pacific Ring of Fire and Earthquake Belt, which is located between the Eurasian and Pacific plates, was born to be shaken out by earthquakes.
Of course, volcanoes are indispensable in volcanic and seismic zones. In the past 22 years, Mount Aso in Higo Province has erupted twice, and has had dozens of smaller eruptions, causing smoke almost every year. The famous Kaga Hakusan Mountain in Hokuriku is not free either. Astronomy
There were two major eruptions in sixteen and seventeen years, not counting the small eruptions in between, which brought endless surprises and joy to the people of Kaga. They danced and ran around and never thought of him again.
I am willing to do this.
If there are volcanoes and earthquakes, there will naturally be countless hot springs. Where do the hot springs come from? Even a three-year-old child knows that they come from the ground! For example, when Kira Yoshihiro asked about the length of the mountain, this was his answer.
Of course, there is nothing wrong in saying that, but what emerges from the ground is not necessarily hot springs, but may be well water that can be seen everywhere. So what are the necessary conditions for the formation of hot springs? First, there must be groundwater, and secondly, there must be a magma layer below the groundwater.
Heating, and finally there must be cracks to allow the heated water to escape to the surface.
The place the Kira family is going to this time is a place called Yuzawa Hot Spring. Speaking of which, this place is quite remote. It is hidden in the vast mountains in the southwest of Uonuma County. Fortunately, you don’t have to go over the mountains to Ueno or Echigo.
The streets within the territory are not difficult to walk, so this move did not take much effort. There are one thousand cavalry on the red arm, two hundred cavalry on the horseback, twelve maids of the tiger princess, twenty knights of the warrior princess, and zero
There are more than 2,200 odd craftsmen and civilians.
This time they were not simply recuperating, but going on vacation under the guise of recuperation. The reason was very simple. First of all, he had personal medical problems and needed to go there urgently. The body is the capital of the revolution. People like him cherish life to the point of
People who have never been bleeding or injured will of course pay more attention to their health.
Secondly, Echigo was likely to cause a big disturbance. It was better to stay still than to move. He left Yamamoto Tokiyuki, a group of retainers, and 3,300 Ashigaru in Kasugayama Castle to wait while he hid in a health resort in Uonuma County.
Together with Nagao Kagetora, it can also act as a back-up to prevent possible troubles.
"This is Yuzawa Hot Spring? Isn't this too exaggerated?" Saito Asanobu looked around with his eyes wide open. There were towering mountain peaks in all directions, and in the desolation of this valley, the thick fog was constantly rising.
Thick water vapor drifts straight into the clouds, and the mist with the smell of sulfur and the white sky are not pleasant to look at.
"Yes! This is really a miraculous work of nature! How could you really think of a hot spring surrounded by mountains?" Kira Yoshi sat on the four-wheeled car and looked at this magical land with great interest.
Two kilometers due west of his position is Mount Takatsu Cang with an altitude of 1,181 meters. One kilometer to the southwest is Dafeng with an altitude of 1,172 meters. The nearest mountain to the south is Mount Akiba with an altitude of only 590 meters. To the east is Mount Akiba, which has an altitude of only 590 meters.
There is 733-meter Mount Tatepin, and 3 kilometers away to the northeast is Mount Rice.
Between Mount Akihabara and Mount Tatehara, the Uonogawa River flows. The water from Yuzawa Hot Spring will also merge into this river, and extend to the north to join the Shinano River and run towards the sea. Walking on this Uonogawa River
There are many fishermen here, but no one lives near Yuzawa Hot Spring.
Both farmers and fishermen are afraid of that smoky place, because there is an ancient legend in Minamiuonuma, which says that in the depths of this smoky place, there is a door leading to the underworld, and there are often some people who specialize in eating people's hearts.
Evil spirits linger around there.
As a staunch materialist, Kira Yoshitoki would never believe that such a thing existed, so the team of more than 2,200 people walked over in spite of the fishermen's dissuasion, and approached the trembling group of fishermen.
The craftsmen began to build a simple campsite, and their construction period would be very long, including building a royal residence to serve as a resort, with hundreds of various buildings.
When Yamaoka Tokichō did not dare to question Kiragi in person, he could only complain to the samurai: "How long will it take to build this? Isn't the master's illness urgent?"
Takigawa Tokimasu, who was sticking behind Yamaoka Tokicho, suddenly interrupted: "Zenjiro is talking bad about the owner again! I heard it clearly!"
"Yes! Sanya heard it too! There's Gengoro! There's Sakon brother, and there's Malika Kuro!" Honda Miya said one by one, Watanabe Moritsuna, Shima Tokikatsu, and Nagasaka Nobumasa, who were already in the Yuan server.
After the roll call, Nagasaka Nobumasa, who felt that he had been shot even while lying down, said angrily: "Why am I Malaka Kuro? Why not Malaka Sakon, Malaka Keijiro?"
Takigawa Tokiyoshi became angry, glared at Nagasaka Nobumasa and said, "Are you looking for a beating? Believe it or not, I will beat you up right now?"
"Come on! Who's afraid of who? My man's fists are itching. If I don't beat you down today, I will read Nobumasa's name backwards!" Two young men with excess secretion of hormones pushed up the cow and asked Yamaoka to wipe it.
Cold sweat slipped away quietly and complained in a low voice: "It's so violent. Why do I know all these guys!"
Yuzawa Hot Spring is a broad concept. It actually refers to hundreds of large and small hot spring groups. The temperature of each hot spring is different. The lowest hot spring is only 32 degrees, and the highest is 83 degrees. So you need to practice it carefully.
Only after measuring the temperature can we determine where it is more suitable to build a sanatorium. This work was completed by Morima Suminao and several craftsmen.
As the saying goes, there must be a brave man under a heavy reward. It is also said that there is a specialization in the profession. As long as there is a reward, many people can explode at 300% of their abilities, eating the multi-grain soup cakes of the Kira family agents and the delicious pickled daikon.
Vegetables and fish soup, as well as the double wages promised by the Kira family, these craftsmen worked hard.
There is no shortage of limestone in Echigo, and sand, gravel and soil are also readily available, so Sanhe soil is not a problem. As for wood and stone, they can be obtained locally. The nearby fishermen and farmers are happy to make some extra money during their slack time, even if they don't need extra money.
As long as they are given a delicious meal, they are willing to do it.
The newly built Yuzawa Imperial Palace was built very quickly, and the open-air bathhouse used to treat wind and cold was built in only three days. Under the guidance of Mori Naose, he needed to stay here for two to three days.
It took months or even longer, and the Kira family samurai did not waste time. They were not good at fine work, so it was not a problem to lend a hand.
Soon this mist-shrouded valley turned into a large construction site, and nearby farmers and fishermen were attracted to work. In some villages, all men, women, and children came out to work. The reason was the good treatment given by the Kira family. As long as they came to work, they would have enough to eat. , they are definitely more willing to work for the Kira family than to work for their own family, not to mention those who work hard can get a few coins as a reward.
The Kira family's return ship passed through the Shinano River and entered the Uonogawa River, continuously transporting needed supplies. Although it was deep in a remote corner of the barren mountains, as long as there was a deep enough river and a suitable dock, the Kira navy could You can put your tentacles deep into any place, especially in places like Echigo where the fishery is developed but the naval force is lagging behind.
Qunaoze Morizhen repeatedly warned: "Master, please pay attention! This hot spring must be divided into three times a day, and it is appropriate to soak for an hour each time. Although the temperature of this hot spring is slightly higher, it has just the right To treat wind and cold in the body, Princess Hu Ji can also soak in it for a while. If you are worried about the heat, you can soak in a hot spring with a slightly lower temperature here."
He pointed to a surging light green sulfur spring for Kiragi. Looking at the rising green spring water and the hot spring that exuded a strong rotten egg smell, he could only nod with a grimace. First, the most convenient way to use this natural hot spring is to dig a hole and release the spring water into a specially built pool. It is much more comfortable than soaking in the mud.
The water flows into the pool through a preset water tank made of stones and three-piece soil, and there is a small hole on the other end connected to the water tank on the other side, which leads the excess hot spring hot water back to the hot spring. In order to keep it warm, it is necessary to add water to the water tank. Add a layer of slate cover and finally seal it tightly with Sanhe soil.
This sulfur spring is about 60 degrees Celsius. Ordinary people would definitely not be able to go into this sulfur spring. Of course, Kiragi didn't want to go in, but his legs were injured and he couldn't do it without taking a bath. Originally, Aju wanted to dress him up and take a bath. , but seeing the resentful expression on Saito Asanobu's face, Kira Yoshiki simply refused.
With the help of the maid, Yoshitoki Kira finally entered this terrible pool. His paralyzed legs also felt something in the hot spring water. He only needed to soak his legs, not the whole body as he imagined. Although this The smell of rotten eggs gave him a headache, but he had to continue to persevere for the sake of his health.
Hu Ji put on a bath towel and stepped into the nearby Shiohuawu Spring, which also had light green hot springs. She carefully covered the bath towel and said with some embarrassment: "Your Highness, Hu Ji is here to accompany you!"
"Tiger Princess is soaking in the hot spring wearing a bath towel. Isn't it very inconvenient?"
Hu Ji said with a slightly red face: "No way!"
"Oh! If you feel inconvenient, tell me."
"..." A big "well" character appeared on Hu Ji's head, and when she glared at Kiragi, she turned her head and ignored him.
After just a few days of soaking, Kira Yoshiki was pleasantly surprised to find that the discomfort in his legs gradually disappeared. During a routine check-up by Morishin Konaose, he said: "There is a numb feeling in my legs, just like when I took a medicinal bath before. It’s a similar feeling, but it seems different, and I can’t put my finger on it.”
"It shows that the body of the museum owner is very good. He regained his intuition not long after receiving treatment, which is much better than expected!" Just after completing the comprehensive examination, Qu Naose Morizhen said excitedly: "It seems that the method my father left behind You are right, this is really good news worth being excited about!”
"Are you excited for me or are you excited that Fangzi is right? I always feel like I have become a guinea pig again?" Kira Yoshishi tried his best to maintain his aristocratic demeanor and asked pretending to be happy: "
Oh? Do you mean that I can be cured in advance?"
Morizhen Qunaoze nodded and said: "It should be possible. The owner of the museum has a strong body and his recovery speed is much faster than ordinary people. According to this trend, he should be able to fully recover in two and a half months."
"Why did the time get longer again? Wasn't it two or three months?" The corner of his mouth twitched to show his contempt for this unscrupulous doctor.
Morishin Qunaose answered seriously: "Because there is a little time delay in the middle, it is better to be more conservative in the treatment of the owner. Restoring the owner's health is the first priority. A longer course of treatment will help to make a full recovery! Yes
Yes, I also have some other treatment ideas. If the effect is good, it may be possible to recover early, but this requires the cooperation of the owner!"
"...Am I really just a guinea pig?" Kira Yoshihi sighed with a black line on his head: "Medical madman, please be patient! My body is very precious! You know the consequences if something goes wrong!"
"Please rest assured, Master! I will try to treat your body as gently as possible." (To be continued.)
