After the rapid development of recent decades, Kyoto, a thousand-year-old city, has now become prosperous and busy, and the continuous influx of people has made the city march forward with great progress, but also injected too much noise, but some places, still not affected by modernization, the historical remnants, carefully archived.

For example, Drum Lane.

Another example is Qinghefang.

Seikawabo is located in south-central Kyoto and is named after a meandering river.

It has the same long history as Drum Lane, and the alleys on both sides of the market can see the mottled traces of the past through the changes of the years, but the Drum Alley, which is full of high-ranking households, is different from the Drum Alley, where there is no Dingshi home like the Song family, and the people who live here are the most ordinary people.

Now there is a very loud slogan, lucid waters and lush mountains are gold and silver mountains, the life of drunken gold fans is gradually no longer sought after, and everyone is more and more yearning for spiritual relaxation and immersion.

And Qinghefang, which has been quiet and delicate and silent for thousands of years, is becoming more and more famous.

It's night.

Red lanterns are unfurled in the river breeze.

In Qinghefang, there is a flow of people.

There are no high-rise buildings, it is flanked by low-rise houses, and the tallest building is just a four-story tavern.

On both sides, there are vendors, bars, and street art performances.

In the river, there are many small boats that flow with the waves, and if you are willing to pay a small fee, you can take a bamboo raft and enjoy the fireworks on both sides of the river in the sound of flowing water.

Being able to occupy a place in a large number of places of interest in Kyoto, although it is not as good as the former ten-mile Qinhuai, but Qinghefang can attract people's hearts, and naturally has its unique and beautiful style.

"Don't blame me for bringing you here for your 'honeymoon', right?"

In the crowd, a man with impaired legs and feet was on crutches with one hand and holding the hand of the woman next to him with the other.

In the past 30 years, the two can be said to be inseparable every day, but this should be the first time that they have walked hand in hand so openly.

The rat, who still hadn't completely calmed down, just shook his head and grabbed the hand of the man next to him hard, not knowing what to say.

Qinghefang has developed to the present, and most of the residents here rely on tourism for their livelihood, and red lanterns are hung at the door of every house.

The bright and hazy colors made her feel that all this was like a dream, and she could only grasp the man's hand hard to feel the reality through the temperature.

"I've been living in Kyoto, I've been to those places too many times, and I rarely come here, and I can't go too far now, so I can only grieve you. ”

Cao Xiuge was on crutches, dressed ordinarily, like the most ordinary member of the lively tourists.

"We'll make it up again later. ”

He paused.

"If, there's a chance. ”

The rat apparently didn't think deeply about the meaning of his last sentence.

"I don't mind. It doesn't matter where you go, the most important thing is that you are there. ”

Cao Xiuge turned his head and smiled.

"It's up to us men to say that. ”

Zi Rat raised a smile at him, the purity that did not contain any impurities made Cao Xiuge involuntarily stunned.

After decades of living together day and night, this is naturally not the first time that the rat has smiled at him, but this time, it may be the most sincere.

"You're so beautiful. ”

Cao Xiuge muttered softly, looking at the smiling face close at hand, his eyes trembled, and then became in a trance.

It is said that the gentle township, the hero's mound.

It was only now that he began to understand this phrase.

What thousands of miles of rivers and mountains, wealth and glory, it seems that there is no warmth in the calloused hand he held at this time.

A face, I haven't gotten tired of seeing it for thirty years. In this life, you shouldn't get tired of it, right?

The two walked along the riverbank, admiring the surrounding scenery, talking and laughing, and savoring the most ordinary happiness that they had never experienced before.

"Look. ”

Suddenly, a stall on the side of the road caught the eye of the sub-rat.

It was an old man who sold sugar, sitting on a wooden chair, engrossed in painting exquisite patterns with sugar juice, below was a high-temperature heated stove, the sugar juice dripped, and soon solidified, on the table, there were a lot of old man's masterpieces, there were rabbits, horses, dragons, although they were made of sugar, but they were vivid and lifelike.

At worst, it's a craft, and at worst, it's a tangible cultural heritage.

The exquisite craftsmanship of the old man attracted many onlookers.

"Little girl, give. ”

The old man smiled and handed a freshly made sheep to a little girl who was waiting beside him.

"Thank you, Grandpa. ”

"Thank you, grandpa. ”

The little girl couldn't wait to take it, obviously greedy, but she didn't want to eat it.

Her mother paid the bill and quickly took her away.

"Old man, bring me a husky. ”

The old man's business was very good, and as soon as the little girl left, a young man immediately shouted.

Not to mention eating, just appreciating the process of making it with your eyes can be said to be a kind of enjoyment.

Moreover, the price is not expensive, only ten yuan.

"Have you eaten it?"

Cao Xiuge turned his head and asked with a smile.

The rat shook his head as a matter of course, like a curious child, staring over there.

"Let's go buy a mouse, too. ”

Cao Xiuge is not an elm pimple who does not understand the amorous feelings, and after so many years, he owes too much to this woman who has always been quietly by his side without regrets, and now he can only seize every minute and every second to make up for it.

Holding the rat's hand, Cao Xiuge walked towards the stall.

"How do you walk?!Don't you have eyes?"

I don't know if I was too curious about the stall, but the rat didn't pay too much attention to the surroundings, causing him to accidentally step on a passerby's foot, and the other party screamed in pain and glared at the rat angrily.

It was a woman in her twenties, young and beautiful, but very mature, it could be seen that she should be trying to create a superior temperament for herself, with a sharp chin consciously raised slightly, exquisite makeup, and a pair of large silver earrings hanging on her ears.

Niu is indeed a more eye-catching girl, but the fly in the ointment is that at this time, a relatively clear footprint appeared on her apricot-colored pointed-toe high heels.

In crowded places, bumps and bumps are unavoidable. And when the rat noticed that he had stepped on someone, he immediately retracted his foot and quickly apologized.

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to. ”

Although Zi Mouse's attitude was sincere, the woman's brows were still furrowed.

"Didn't you mean it? Didn't you mean it? I came by such a big person, can't you see it? What are your eyes for?"

She looked down at her shoes, which had only been stained a few times.

"It's unlucky. ”
