Chapter 6: The Purple Fairy

After waking up, Lu Xifei was scared into a cold sweat, fortunately it was a dream. He picked up his phone to check the time, and it was only half past five. He was a little entangled, he got up too early now, gathered at 7 o'clock to board the bus, and the hotel did not serve breakfast until 6 o'clock, but he couldn't sleep if he continued to sleep. He remembered the terrifying dream just now, this dream was so real, it was like a personal experience, which made Lu Xifei shudder. Lu Xifei felt the pain of his head like an explosion, which made him feel uncomfortable. Maybe it's because you haven't rested, maybe it'll be fine for a while, Lu Xifei said to himself.

At half past six, Xiao Zhiyuan also woke up, and the two got up together, washed up and had breakfast briefly. Today, Xiao Zhiyuan and Lu Xifei are not on the same tourist route, so they each board different buses. Chen Yuwei, Teacher Wang, and Teacher Cui were already in the car. Lu Xifei and Chen Yuwei looked at each other and smiled, and naturally sat with Chen Yuwei.

"Did you rest well last night?" Lu Xifei asked.

"I was very tired yesterday, so I fell asleep quickly. What about you?"

"Not good. Lu Xifei replied lightly.

"What's wrong?"

"It's nothing, maybe it's not suitable for pillows. Lu Xifei was embarrassed to tell Chen Yuwei about last night's dream, so he had to find an excuse to pass it.

"You can sleep in the car for a while, I won't bother you". After Chen Yuwei finished speaking, she picked up the headphones and prepared to listen to music.

"Well, okay. ”

In the car, in order to take care of Lu Xifei and let him rest for a while, Chen Yuwei really didn't talk much along the way, listening to the music, and turned her head out the window. Lu Xifei closed his eyes and took a nap. Although his eyes were closed, Lu Xifei couldn't sleep, he could smell the faint fragrance on Chen Yuwei's body, and the fragrance was sultry. Lu Xifei secretly opened her eyes several times and secretly looked at Chen Yuwei's side face, that side face was very beautiful, she was so quiet and melancholy. Suddenly, Chen Yuwei's head turned towards him, Lu Xifei quickly closed his eyes, but his heartbeat involuntarily accelerated. Chen Yuwei also secretly looked at Lu Xifei at this time. The girl's mind is delicate, she always feels that Lu Xifei was deliberately looking at her secretly just now, but she is not sure. Vaguely, she felt that Lu Xifei seemed to be paying attention to her. However, she thought to herself, she is not young anymore, and besides, the two of them are married, who would have such thoughts. Thinking about it like this, she felt ridiculous, how could she have such an idea.

The first stop of today's tour is Sand Lake, because it is very close to Yinchuan City, so it will arrive quickly. The tour guide explained the beautiful scenery of Sand Lake to everyone, especially mentioning that Sand Lake is the filming site for the rowing of the Zixia Fairy when she appeared in "Journey to the West - The Great Sage Marries a Wife", so today's trip to Yinchuan is to revisit the movie plot of "Journey to the West" and retake the filming route of Journey to the West, and Sand Lake is the first stop. After the visit to Sand Lake, the highlight of noon is the Western Film and Television City, followed by the rock paintings of Helan Mountain.

Lu Xifei would never have thought that the story with Chen Yuwei and the plot of Journey to the West would be so coincidental, whether it was fate or destiny, this is a later story.

No matter what, Lu Xifei is still very happy today. Today the weather is good, the sun is shining, and it is not as exposed as yesterday, and the wind is very comfortable on the body. After getting on the boat, look at the clear water, the lake is full of patches of aquatic plants, the boat meanders forward in it, the sun shines on the lake, sparkling, it is very beautiful. Because the tour guide mentioned "Journey to the West", Lu Xifei couldn't help but think of the plot in the play, Lu Xifei didn't know how many times he watched this drama, it is Stephen Chow's classic, Lu Xifei likes Stephen Chow very much, because his movies are funny and deep, and he never gets tired of watching it. Stephen Chow often reflects the stories of some little people, and Lu Xifei thinks that he is not a little person, so he always has a sense of resonance with Stephen Chow's movies, and this resonance makes him especially fond of Stephen Chow's movies, and even obsessed. He can recall every detail of Stephen Chow's movies. Therefore, thinking of the plot of the story, Lu Xifei got up and walked to the bow of the boat to look at the scenery, he imagined that the Zixia Fairy in his mind was standing at the bow of the boat, her skirt swaying in the wind, and her eyes were looking at him with affection, it was a kind of aura of beauty, so beautiful that it made people's hearts move. At this time, Chen Yuwei just walked out of the cabin, and Lu Xifei couldn't help laughing when he remembered the fantasy scene just now, thinking that it wouldn't be such a coincidence. Compared with Zixia Fairy, although Chen Yuwei has less aura, she has a little more charm, which is also a unique charm.

Lu Xifei thought to himself, didn't Chen Yuwei suddenly break into his own world like this?

Chen Yuwei saw Lu Xifei smiling at her and walked over.

"Why are you looking at me and laughing?"

Lu Xifei smiled even brighter, "No, just now I remembered the plot of "Journey to the West" when the Zixia Fairy appeared, and then you came out, I thought to myself, how could it be so coincidental, and then I couldn't help laughing" Lu Xifei said truthfully.

"What, am I worse than Fairy Zixia, which makes you want to laugh?"

"It's not. You are as beautiful as she is, and more charming than her. Lu Xifei hurriedly played the round and praised her sincerely.

Chen Yuwei heard his praise and said, "Your mouth is so sweet, you can coax people." "But my heart is sweet. She felt her girl's heart begin to waver again, and suddenly she liked to hear his praise, and she thought that her heart was already dead, and she no longer felt these things.

"The weather was really nice today, the scenery was so beautiful. Lu Xifei let out a sigh.

"yes, it's been a long time since I've felt this comfortable. The weather and the beauty are refreshing. ”

After the two finished speaking, they stopped talking and quietly enjoyed the scenery here with a tacit understanding. Lu Xifei suddenly wanted that time could stand still here, there were no worries here, no interests, only beautiful scenery and beautiful women, just go with the flow, no need to think, and be isolated from the real world. But happy times are always short-lived, and the boat quickly arrives at its destination. There is also sand in the sand lake, but it is far from the fine sand at the head of the sand slope. But these are no longer important, coming out to play is not necessarily to see the beautiful scenery, but to see the mood, the key is with whom. Travel with the people you like, have a good mood, and have fun going anywhere.

Lu Xifei and Chen Yuwei walked very fast, and gradually left Teacher Wang and Teacher Cui behind, and their relationship gradually warmed up. I don't have the sense of restraint like yesterday, I feel like an old friend, talking and laughing. The two have a very tacit understanding, and the topics have gradually increased.

From the constant chat, Lu Xifei has a deeper understanding of Chen Yuwei. Chen Yuwei's personality is not as cold as her appearance, she is still very passionate in her heart, and she will interact with Lu Xifei from time to time, she is actually restless in her bones, and she is still very longing for love, but it is a pity that her husband has no time to accompany her, so that her life is full of sadness and complaints about life. She worked too hard to take care of the children, but there was no one around her who could help her, so she could only vent this resentment on her husband. My husband is like a passer-by, who comes back a few times a month, she always waits, but she is disappointed again and again. She doesn't know what her husband is doing outside for a long time, and she doesn't even worry about whether her husband has a mistress outside, because she is used to living with her son.

In the chat, Chen Yuwei also had a deeper understanding of Lu Xifei, and was very envious and yearning for his life. Lu Xifei's family is the family that normal people should have, the husband and wife are loving, the children are cute, and the family stays together every day to enjoy the joy of family. She suddenly envied Lu Xifei's wife, she was so lucky to find such a responsible man. Through constant conversations with him, she felt more and more that this man was very attractive, delicate, understanding women and considerate of women, and his personality was also very active. She found that she was very compatible with him, and the two also had a tacit understanding, at first she felt that Lu Xi was not young, but after getting along for a long time, she found that his mind and appearance were more mature and reliable.

The two of them chatted while walking, during the journey, occasionally took some photos, basically just to see the beautiful scenery, time passed quickly, the sand lake was quickly finished, and before you knew it, they arrived at the place agreed by the tour guide, waiting for everyone to gather and prepare to set off to the Western Film and Television City. After a while, everyone arrived one after another. Teacher Wang and Teacher Cui walked slowly and also rushed over. Seeing Chen Yuwei and Lu Xifei, he said with a smile: "You two are walking too fast, leaving us two wives far behind, and we can't catch up no matter how much we catch up." ”

The speaker has no intention, but the listener has a heart, Chen Yuwei glanced at Lu Xifei, blushed, and said to them embarrassedly: "Walked too fast, I forgot to wait for you." ”

Lu Xifei saw Chen Yuwei's expression, which was very cute, and he was inexplicably happy. After a while, everyone arrived, and the tour guide urged everyone to hurry up and board the car, and the car set off to the Western Film and Television City after everyone was gathered.

Western Film and Television City is not too far from Sand Lake, about half an hour away. Lu Xifei has heard of this film and television city for a long time, it is very famous in China, known as the "Hollywood of the East", and many movies and TV series have been filmed here. Blockbusters such as "Qiao's Courtyard", "Red Sorghum" and "New Dragon Gate Inn" were all filmed here, but the most well-known is "Journey to the West", it is precisely because of "Journey to the West" that many young people know that there is a film and television city in the west. This film and television city relies on the popularity of "Journey to the West" to attract groups of tourists to travel here. Tickets for Western Studios are not cheap, 95 yuan a piece. Simple props and scenes, extremely low cost, but the ability to generate income is jaw-dropping. The great success of the Western Film and Television City has formed a trend, and film and television cities have begun to be built all over the country, and at least Hengdian Film and Television City, Xiangshan Film and Television City, Wuxi Three Kingdoms City and so on are known. Recently released a Chen Kaige movie "The Legend of the Demon Cat", it is said that in order to restore the true original appearance of the Tang Dynasty, it has spent 1.3 billion yuan to build Tang City, through the movie to render this Tang City Film and Television City, to attract tourists, can be described as extremely smart. The huge economic effect of the film and television city attracts investors to continue to build new film and television cities, and the local government is also strongly supportive, which can drive the local economic development, so why not do it.

When I arrived at the Western Film and Television City, it was already noon, and the sun in Yinchuan at noon was particularly scorching. In order to avoid sunburn, the tour guide arranged for everyone to have a simple lunch in the Western Film and Television City. After lunch, the sun is no longer so hot, and the tour guide arranges 2 hours of free time for everyone to play. Lu Xifei and Chen Yuwei still walked together, and the two didn't even greet each other, and they naturally came together tacitly. Chen Yuwei didn't call Teacher Wang and Teacher Cui, and they didn't call her, everyone acquiesced to such a combination of travel methods.

The weather is still very sunny. As a girl, Chen Yuwei is naturally afraid of the sun, so she opened the parasol, but Lu Xifei felt that it didn't matter as a man. But Chen Yuwei insisted on letting Lu Xi not hold an umbrella, and the two walked side by side under the same umbrella. Because the walking range of the two occasionally has inconsistent steps, their bodies inevitably collide, and every time they collide, Lu Xifei's heartbeat will always accelerate unconsciously, like a kind of desire pressed in the bottom of his heart constantly rushing outward. Lu Xifei vaguely felt that Chen Yuwei's skin was very soft, like a sponge, just next to it, and it bounced back after a while. The two held umbrellas and strolled around the Western Movie City.

"Look here, isn't it the castle tower of the sunset warrior scene at the end of the movie "Journey to the West"?" Chen Yuwei suddenly said to Lu Xifei.

Lu Xifei looked up and remembered that in "Journey to the West", the sunset warrior stood on the city tower, ruthless to the incarnation of the Zixia Fairy, and he didn't have the courage to take that step and accept the woman's kiss. He decided to leave the woman behind and go on his own. Sun Wukong (Supreme Treasure) saw the sunset warrior under the city tower and was afraid, not daring to face the woman he loved deeply, thinking of his love with Zixia Fairy, how could he not be so cowardly, and never dared to face the beloved Zixia Fairy, so he would miss the opportunity again and again, and finally Zixia Fairy died for him, and his heart also died. Seeing the cowardice of the sunset warrior and remembering his former self, Sun Wukong (Supreme Treasure) possessed the samurai, resolutely walked to the woman and kissed the woman fiercely, as if to get all the lost love back, but his Zixia Fairy never returned. With the courage of the Monkey King (Supreme Treasure), the Sunset Warrior finally embraced the woman happily and accepted this love calmly. When they looked back at the city, the Monkey King (Supreme Treasure) left sadly. Sun Wukong (Supreme Treasure) is thinking about Zixia Fairy in his heart, but Zixia Fairy is dead, and his love is not there. When he left the scene with heavy steps in a sad way, the woman and the sunset warrior smiled and said, "That person doesn't look like a dog", this "dog" shows how sad Sun Wukong (Supreme Treasure) is.

"Journey to the West" is so classic, many people have watched it many times, and they really remember this scene.

"Yes, it was filmed here", Lu Xifei said excitedly, "Sun Wukong left here very lonely, right where we stood." ”

"It seems to be. When he left, he must have been saying in his heart, 'There was once a sincere love in front of me, I didn't cherish it, and it was painful to lose it, and there is nothing more painful in the world than this.'" ’”

"Can you also memorize it?" Lu Xifei didn't expect Chen Yuwei to be able to memorize it. Journey to the West resonates too much with the post-80s generation.

"Everyone should know such a classic line. Chen Yuwei was surprised by Lu Xifei's surprise.

"yes. This line is too magical, and too sad. ”

"yes. How many people don't know how to cherish the love in front of them, and only when they lose it are painful. Chen Yuwei suddenly said sadly.

"Those who are favored are always fearless, and those who don't get it are always in turmoil. That sentence just now is very consistent with the current Internet buzzword, and the reality is always like this. Lu Xifei said with emotion.

"Yes. Incisive!"

Lu Xifei and Chen Yuwei continued to walk forward, passing by the scene where the Bull Demon King and Zixia Fairy were filmed when they got married, and they also saw Pansi Cave. It's just that this Pansi Cave is different from the movie, it is very dark and dark, and the venue is much smaller. When Chen Yuwei saw the model of the white bone and spider spirit, she didn't scream like a young girl, and walked over very calmly. A woman who has been tempered by the years is a little more mature, a little less innocent, and has become more rational. The two of them walked and watched in the Pansi Cave, muttering a few words occasionally, laughing at the simplicity and shabby of the Pansi Cave, and walked out quickly because it was not very large.

The two continued to walk aimlessly. The filming scenes of "Journey to the West" in the Western Film and Television City are not all gathered together, but are selected in various places in the film and television city, so when you go along the way, you can also see other scenes, such as the filming location of "Red Sorghum" or the filming location of "Old Mansion Gate". One of the shooting locations had a relatively steep slope, and Chen Yuwei climbed to a high place in order to take pictures, but Lu Xi did not go up, but took pictures of her below. When she was about to come down, because the slope was very steep, Lu Xifei was worried that she would fall down, so he hurriedly went up and held her hand and let her walk down little by little. After holding hands, Lu Xifei didn't know what Chen Yuwei's mood was, but he was a deer and his heart beat faster. At that time, he felt like he was in love again. He looked up at Chen Yuwei, her expression did not change, and she walked down very calmly.

"Thank you. Chen Yuwei said to Lu Xifei after coming down.

"It's okay, I'm worried that you'll be in danger when you walk down."

"You're so sweet. Your wife is so happy. Chen Yuwei said lightly.

Lu Xifei couldn't figure out whether Chen Yuwei said it deliberately or casually, maybe for a temptation, or for some other purpose.

"What's the matter, it's over. I'm very aggressive at home and often lose my temper with her." Lu Xifei is telling the truth.

"I can't see it. Look at you mild-mannered, not like the kind of person who often loses his temper. ”

"The truest side is only shown in front of people who are close to you. People are always accustomed to using multiple faces to people, often showing the sunny side and hiding the dark side. In front of relatives, there is no need to disguise, and it is easy to show the most authentic self", Lu Xifei said.

"Yes, people always like to live with masks. In fact, we should be kind to our family members, because they are the closest people to you, strangers are just passers-by, but family members are the ones who accompany you through the journey of life, so we should be better to them. Chen Yuwei said with feeling.

"Yes. But I still can't help but lose my temper. Maybe you feel very safe in front of your loved ones, so you can vent your emotions so unscrupulously. Because I subconsciously know that no matter how much I lose my temper, I will be forgiven by them. ”

"So it's unfair to my family," Ms. Chen said.

"Well, it does need to be changed. ”

"My husband often loses his temper with me and even does it, so I especially hate men who love to lose their temper and domestic violence. Chen Yuwei said with emotion, and blurted out the secret hidden in her heart. Domestic violence is a very shameful thing, and she is very reluctant to tell others this, but, for some reason, she seems to be defenseless against Lu Xifei.

"Ahh I won't do anything to girls, it's too unmasculine. He hit you, why don't you resist?"

"I once resisted, but I was beaten even harder. When he is angry, if he resists head-on, it is easier to provoke his anger. So, when he hit later, I endured it. After the fight, he also regretted it, and sometimes knelt down to confess his mistake to me, but then repeated the same mistake afterwards. ”

"A man who beats a woman is really not a man. Your husband is so hateful. Why don't you get a divorce?" Lu Xifei said heartbrokenly.

He didn't want to, he just couldn't control his temper. Maybe it's too stressful. To be honest, divorce has been thought about. But after so many years, the two still have feelings. Although he has a bad temper and sometimes beats me, he is not bad with children. I can't let my kids go without their dads. ”

"You just endure it? You should resist, he is used to beating, and he will beat you at every turn. ”

Lu Xi felt sorry for Chen Yuwei insincerely. Such a perfect woman, how can his husband be willing to do it. And this woman chose forbearance.

"Forget it, after so many years, I'm used to it. Now he is much more restrained than before, and he used to fight more fiercely. ”

When he heard the word "habit", Lu Xifei was shocked. This woman actually used the word "habit" to deal with domestic violence, but he felt more of her "helplessness" about life.

"You've had a hard time. Lu Xifei said distressedly.

"Nothing. That's how life is. There will always be all kinds of disappointments. ”

Chen Yuwei's indifference to domestic violence makes people even more pitiful. Lu Xifei can't imagine Chen Yuwei's life, like a pool of stagnant water, she has no passion for life at all.

"Let's not talk about that, let's go over there, there are few people there. Chen Yuwei said suddenly. She didn't want to look pitiful in front of Lu Xifei, so she pretended to be strong.

"Well, okay. ”

Two people walked to a field, where there was no beautiful scenery and there were relatively few people. The two of them watched as they walked. The air was suddenly quiet, but the two of them felt good, as if the world had disappeared, and only the two of them remained. Maybe the two are too depressed in real life, so when they come here, they find soulmates and resonate with each other.

"How is the relationship between your husband and wife?" Chen Yuwei asked suddenly.

Chen Yuwei's sudden question made Lu Xifei a little overwhelmed. He didn't know how to answer her, and after thinking for a long time, he decided to tell her the truth.

"It's good, the two of us are quite affectionate. She was more tolerant of me. ”

After finishing speaking, Lu Xifei regretted it a little, and felt that she shouldn't tell her that her marriage was unhappy, and that telling her that her marriage was happy was a hurt.

"Well, you're so happy. You have to cherish. After Chen Yuwei finished speaking, her brows were not so tight, as if she was relieved.

From Chen Yuwei's tone and expression, Lu Xifei seemed to sense something, his heart was more sensitive, and he was always able to keenly capture the other party's signals. He vaguely felt that Chen Yuwei seemed to be suddenly less enthusiastic about him, and his heart suddenly felt lost.

"It's an ordinary life anyway. Lu Xifei deliberately emphasized "bland", he actually wanted to tell her that life was very dull and there was no passion.

"Ordinary is life. Chen Yuwei said calmly.

Soon the two walked through the attraction. The sun is not as hot as it used to be, and it is getting closer and closer to the time to board the bus. The two of them are waiting for the meeting at the location designated by the tour guide. Teacher Wang and Teacher Cui have already arrived. Chen Yuwei joined them and greeted them, leaving Lu Xifei to sit alone and watch them from afar. But they could still be heard faintly.

"Are you all done shopping?" asked Chen Yuwei.

"No, we two old women can't walk, so we come here early to rest. Are you done shopping?" asked Mr. Wang.

"I walked around it roughly, but I didn't look around much. ”

"I think that young man is good, very careful. ”

Lu Xifei didn't know why Mr. Wang said this, and seemed to mean to say so. He was a little embarrassed to hear them praise himself, and quickly turned his head to the other side.

But Chen Yuwei didn't seem to mind. "Well, he's very attentive. ”

Hearing Chen Yuwei's affirmation of him, the sense of loss just now seemed to disappear again.

"Ready to board the bus!" the tour guide called everyone to gather, ready to go to the next scenic spot, Helan Mountain petroglyphs.

Helan Mountain rock paintings are the art gallery of Chinese nomads, recording the life scenes of ancient humans grazing, hunting, sacrificing and fighting from 3,000 to 10,000 years ago, as well as sheep, cows, horses, tigers, leopards and other animal patterns and abstract symbols, revealing the history, culture and economic conditions of primitive clans. They soon arrived at the address of Helan Mountain petroglyphs, the scenic spots are average, but there are many patterns on the stones, if they explore each one, there is not enough time. The tour guide also did not intend to let everyone study the petroglyphs, and led everyone all the way forward. Suddenly, someone saw the sheep on the mountain, this kind of sheep is called the cliff sheep, it can actually climb the mountain in the cliff, only by four limbs, everyone was successfully attracted, and the petroglyphs did not look at it, they were all amazed at this magical animal. Lu Xifei and Chen Yuwei also stopped to watch for a long time, and he stood behind Chen Yuwei, staring at her secretly. Chen Yuwei was not as enthusiastic as just now, which made Lu Xifei a little disappointed, and the two still exchanged greetings occasionally, but Lu Xifei already felt that the two seemed to have a sense of distance.

Before you know it, the day's play is over. And at this time it was also dark.

The dark night always gives people a sense of mystery and also provokes people's heartstrings.
