Chapter 142: Backpackers
The uncle was very enthusiastic, but Cao Wu still refused again and again.
Stopping a taxi, Cao Wu came to the fat-headed restaurant that the uncle said, and ordered a few signature dishes in his store, which tasted really good.
After eating, Cao Wu asked the passers-by, and walked to the pedestrian street that the uncle said, took a walk, and melted into food.
Walking along the riverside path that runs through the town, the pedestrians come and go slowly, with smiles on their faces, not in a hurry.
After walking for two stops, the flow of people suddenly became dense, Cao Wu swept his eyes, and the pedestrian street had arrived.
The street is directly opposite a small square, and people who enjoy the cool and leisure at night are bustling and strolling around.
A couple of half-grown kids in roller skates with glowing wheels writhed around the clearing, sliding wonderfully.
The young couple with the child asked the price in front of the balloon stall, and although it was a little expensive, they still paid for one in the child's eager eyes.
Seventeen or eighteen-year-old couples sit on a bench and eat a small bag of fried chestnuts with sugar, which is extremely sweet.
Cao Wu likes this environment very much, full of fireworks of life.
Suddenly, there was a burst of music, and Cao Wu looked at it and walked towards the crowded place.
The crowd surrounded three layers inside and three layers outside, Cao Wu stood next to the circle, looking through the crack in his head, but it was a man with long hair and stubble, holding a guitar, standing in front of the microphone.
There was a stereo next to him, and a piano case was open in front of him, and there were some loose change in it.
The man had his eyes half-closed, did not look at the case, and sang low to the music.
"I once dreamed of going to the end of the world with a sword,"
"Look at the prosperity of the world,"
"The heart of youth is always a little frivolous,"
"Now we call the four seas home. ”
……
The man's voice is a little hoarse, which is the favorite voice of the bar singer to smoke and drink, and there is a sense of vicissitudes when he sings this song.
“di li li li di li li li den da!”
When he sang the chorus, he threw his head back and roared as if he had exhausted all his strength, and there was a feeling in his voice that only he could experience.
There was a small voice in the crowd singing along with him, and more and more people joined in, and by the time the second chorus was a chorus.
After singing the song, it won the applause of the audience.
The man gasped and whispered thanks.
Several people went up to the man's case and put some change.
Suddenly, the man saw a young man wearing a hat come up and put a hundred in the box.
Somewhat surprised, the man looked at his back and thanked him, but for some reason, he always felt that the back was a little familiar.
But he didn't care, and after looking at it, he withdrew his gaze.
Singing on the street every day, I see too many people, and it is inevitable that some of them are familiar, but most of them are mistaken.
Today's harvest is good, and a song that suits you is really important.
The man adjusted his breathing and prepared to start the next song.
Cao Wu walked into the pedestrian street, and every store went in to look at it, but he didn't buy anything.
There was a doll-grabbing machine in a toy store, and on a whim, he spent a hundred dollars to catch a fist-sized panda doll.
Although I feel a little lost, but for the sake of looking at the doll so cute, forget it.
Shopping a little hungry, Cao Wu looked at his watch, it was already past eleven o'clock.
Walked to the end of the pedestrian street, and there was indeed a row of snack bars opposite, and several rice noodles were opened in a row.
found a family with the most guests, Cao Wu asked for a bowl of rice noodles, added a beef topping, and sweated profusely.
The time was almost up, and after Cao Wu finished eating, he went out and took a taxi and returned to the hotel.
Going to bed after eating and drinking is simply the most comfortable thing in the world.
I called my mother to keep me safe, and after chatting for a while, Cao Wu slept until early in the morning.
He didn't enjoy the rice noodles last night, so he drove to the store last night, ate a bowl of rice noodles, and then started on the road.
Today he is ready to go to ZJJ.
The scenery of ZJJ is famous all over the country, and although it is not too far away, Cao Wu has really never been there.
Still passing through the county and the city, taking the country roads, although the road is not very familiar, often have to stop to ask for directions, but Cao Wu still enjoys this feeling.
For example, Cao Wu is driving this country shade road, the road is smooth, one side of the green mountains, one side of the green water, not far from the rice field there are cattle working, this is in the city can never see the original ecological beauty, if not the road is relatively narrow, not very easy to park, Cao Wu really want to stop and take a few photos.
Not far away, Cao Wu suddenly saw a figure in front of him carrying a huge travel bag, wearing a sunhat, and walking with a cane.
He's a backpacker on foot.
Slowing down the car, Cao Wu drove to the front, lowered the window and looked, it was a middle-aged uncle.
"Uncle, do you want to take you for a while?" Cao Wu asked with a smile, and he saw that the uncle was already sweating profusely.
The uncle looked in front of him, hesitated for a moment, and then smiled heartily: "Then thank you!"
Cao Wu stopped the car and let the uncle sit in, the cool air conditioning in the car made the uncle shiver, and shouted: "Comfortable!"
"You really have the perseverance to come out and hike on such a hot day?"
"Hmm!" the uncle took out his water bottle and took a sip of water, and said with a smile: "I've just started! I'm going to go all the way to Tibet!"
"Yo, you're too courageous. Cao Wu exclaimed.
"Where are you going?"
"Go to Xinjiang and go to university. ”
"You're pretty good, too!"
chatting with the uncle, he continued to walk forward, and after about twenty minutes, the uncle said, "It's almost over, just put me here." ”
"There are still ten kilometers to go to xx town, shall I let you go?"
"No!" the uncle said with a smile: "I am already very satisfied if I can cool off in your car! I have to take advantage of the good road to walk and practice my leg strength more, otherwise when will I be able to go to Tibet?"
Cao Wu stopped the car, and the uncle got out of the lane to thank him, but he didn't close the door, and lowered himself and asked, "Why don't you stop and eat something too?"
After thinking about it, Cao Wu nodded and said, "It's okay." ”
He drove forward, stopped at a fork in the road, and sat down with his uncle on the side of the road.
The uncle took out the biscuits, peach crisp, eight-treasure porridge and other convenient foods in the bag and greeted him warmly.
Cao Wu is not polite, just pick it up and eat it.
Although his father told him not to eat food from strangers outside, he felt that this uncle was not a bad person when he was chatting in the car just now.
After eating something, the uncle's chatterbox also opened, and he suddenly talked about himself.
"Xiao Cao, do you know why I am so old, but I have a whim to go to Tibet on foot?"
"For a dream?"
"Hey, hey, partially! We just met, and I'm not afraid to tell you, I'll live for three more years at most!"
