This happened the summer I was in fifth grade when I went to the mountains with my brother to catch bugs.
There are quite a few beetles on that mountain, and you can often catch all kinds of unicorns, spadefoots, etc., but I don't know if we ran out of the spots we frequented, but all we found that day was a few turtles and bees.
So my brother and I decided to catch it somewhere else.
I remembered a place in the mountains that we wouldn't normally go to and resembled an animal trail, so I went there with my brother.
It may or may not be presumed to be the location by telling it this way, but the summer temperatures in my old neighborhood are about daily35until37degrees, and there have even been spikes to40.9A record high temperature of degrees.
However, as soon as my brother and I reached that beastly path, it was like walking into a freezer, instantly cold to the point of goosebumps all over our bodies.
I have a sensitive constitution, and while I felt bad about this place at the moment, it was still more important to me as a small five for the beetles.
Moving deeper into the mountains with my brother, as I walked, I suddenly realized something was wrong.
I also felt this sense of dissonance when I entered the mountain, and I always felt that this place was not quite the same as a normal mountain.
While it's not without its share of thicker trees, most of the trees here are about only about the diameter of a20centimeter or so of fine wood.
And underneath all of these tiny trees were altar-like objects.
Not just one or two, but at least dozens.
These altars were made of different materials, such as boxes and stones, but they all contained the same wilted flowers, small saucers with heaps of salt, and cups of wine.
The mountains in the countryside often put up these things, build stone towers and the like in order to honor the dead, and while I knew about it, this amount was too much to be weird.
Just when I thought this was going to be really, really bad, I noticed a gray, middle-aged male peeking out and looking over from behind the tree in front of me.
To describe that image, it's like, "Suddenly there's a brother.*1"That way.
It's weird though.

sound of child's cryingAnd it really hit.
Thinking that, I said to my brother, "Hurry up and go down the mountain," and the two of us hurried down the mountain.
As I left, I didn't know what kind of white-knuckle act I was playing and looked back.
Behind every one of the trees as far as the eye could see stood people; men, women, old, young, all of them staring at me.
I was so frustrated that I rushed home with my brother in a hurry.
It was only later that I heard that my old home town seemed to have suffered a major air raid during the past war.
