On the morning of early July, Fang Ning and his group gathered at his house, Fang Wei was going to play together, but Jiang was still old and spicy, and her grandfather enrolled her in two cram schools, so she had to go to make up classes obediently.

The four of them set off from Changsha South Railway Station to Huaihua by high-speed train, nearly two or three hours, and then prepared to transfer to the ancient city of Phoenix.

Originally, Cheng Xi suggested taking a train to Jishou in Xiangxi, and then transferring to a bus to Phoenix, so that you can watch the scenery along the train slowly, and it is also more economical.

But considering that Lao Tan had a phobia of trains, he had to follow Fang Ning's plan and take the high-speed train directly to Phoenix Ancient City.

Fang Ning and the others have also been to Zhangjiajie in Xiangxi before, so they are not very unfamiliar with this side, as long as there are no accidents on the road, there is basically no problem.

The speed of the high-speed rail is naturally very fast, compared with the green train in the eighties and nineties, it is naturally less of that kind of slow and leisurely fun, and it is too late to look sideways at the scenery along the way outside the window, just take a little nap, and the Huaihua high-speed rail station will arrive.

They got off the station, hired a business car, had a loud lunch, and set off from Huaihua to Fenghuang County.

Outside the car is a continuous low mountain, lofty mountains, the more you go to the phoenix, the less modern the atmosphere, and then there is a large section of uninhabited area, across the long distance there are still one or two residential houses on the side of the road.

Originally, they wanted to hire a local tour guide, but then I thought about it, there is not much need, the first is that the route is planned, only go to the ancient city of Phoenix, there is basically nothing I don't understand, the second is more free, go where you want to go, aimlessly wander around, stop and rest when you are tired of playing, and then go to visit when you have enough rest, so there is no need to take a tour guide.

Seeing that he was about to arrive in Fenghuang County, Fang Ning asked the driver, can the car continue to drive forward?

The driver shook his head and said, "If I had gotten up a few years earlier, the vehicle would still have been able to drive to the city, but now it can't, there are so many cars, if all of them can be driven in, the ancient city would have been blocked a long time ago, so I will at most go to the county bus station in front of you and send you off." ”

Fang Ning was a little disappointed and said, "That's it." ”

The driver said, "Actually, it's not a big deal, after you enter the county, take a bus or three buses outside the station to get off at South China Gate Station, you can reach the ancient city, of course, don't want to take the bus, you can also take a taxi directly from the North Station to Hongqiao, about a dozen yuan, the taxi here is very dark, remember to negotiate the price, don't let them play the meter." ”

The driver smiled and took out a booklet from under the windshield of the cab, "This is a detailed description of the traffic in Phoenix County, which is quite useful." ”

Fang Ning took the booklet, glanced at Lao Guang, Lao Tan, and Cheng Xi, nodded and said, "Then thank you." ”

The driver is very talkative, while there is still a section of the road, and he said a little trick, for example, don't listen to the locals can evade the ticket, just buy a ticket directly, the student ID card can be a great discount, if you evade the ticket, you can indeed go in, but there are many items in it can not be played, if you meet the staff who check the ticket, and have to make up the ticket plus education, can not come; there is also a problem of accommodation, it is best to find it in the Linjiang scenery belt of Phoenix County, do not enter the Phoenix Scenic Area and then look for a house, the outside is generally one hundred to two hundred, three or four hundred in the scenic spot, and the price has risen several times。

After Fang Ning and his party thanked the driver, they went to the bus station to take the bus into the Phoenix Ancient City, and bought tickets on the way, in fact, it didn't cost much, everyone understood that the real expensive thing was accommodation and meals, as well as local specialties in tourist attractions and so on.

Because they followed the driver's advice, they found a riverside house at the North Gate Wharf in the middle of the stream, which has a better location and decoration, and can look across the river and see the sparkling river. At night, you can also see the brightly lit buildings and bars.

Listening to the tourists who have just passed, the ancient city of Phoenix has many tourists during the day, and the original remote and quiet town has become very noisy, but at night it is a different look, there is a bonfire party of the Miao people, you can watch the brothers and sisters wearing national costumes and silver jewelry dancing, and the stilted building illuminated by the lights, standing by the river, and the colorful bars along the river, countless people poured out of the bar, like a tide, holding a wine glass to the brightly lit river and shouting what they wanted to say.

Not only Fang Ning's face was full of longing, but even Cheng Xi was quite yearning, in the final analysis, people were still animals living in groups.

Lao Guang took a bath, and he took Lao Tan and the two of them to go around the ancient city for an afternoon, leaving the space for Fang Ning and Cheng Xi to be alone.

Fang Ning pushed open the glass door from the other room, walked to the balcony corridor, tilted his head sideways, and smiled at Cheng Xi, that mouthful of white teeth actually looked a little obscene in the sun.

Cheng Xi got up from the previous crouching on the camphor wood railing, threw a amorous white eye to Fang Ning, and then bowed his head slightly, and said, "Voyeurism is not a gentleman's style, or is you Fang Ning not a gentleman, but a villain?"

"At some point, I'd rather be a villain than a hypocrite. Fang Ning smiled, leaned over, this Linjiang Inn is a stilted building structure, the room is very close to the corridor of the room, and there is no such thing as an anti-theft net, he grabbed the eaves with his hand, jumped over cautiously, jumped directly in front of Cheng Xi, and pretended to be profound, "What a girl should look like, do you know what it is?"

“…… Well, you say. Cheng Xi nodded.

"If you see each other, you will be happy to welcome the spring flowers, if you don't see it, then you will be alone like water. ”

Cheng Xi tilted her head slightly, her refreshing short hair was dyed yellow in the sun, and the closer she got to her, the more she could smell the faint smell in this close distance, a bit like body fragrance, and a bit like the smell of soap drying the quilt in the sun, clean and warm, making people want to bury themselves in the body and smell it.

Of course, this move was too much like eating tofu, and Fang Ning didn't dare to really get in on it and smell it.

"Do you think I look like me?" she said.

He gestured his fingers and said, "It's a little bit close." ”

You continue. Cheng Xi raised his eyebrows and glanced at him, if it were for other girls, he would have been a little angry, but Cheng Xi is not an ordinary girl after all, she has an indifferent attitude towards this world, if it weren't for Fang Ning himself being the person she paid attention to, even what he said would not show any emotion.

Fang Ning smiled, his hand propped up on the camphor wood railing, the stilted building across the river on the other side of the long jump, with green mountains and green waters, and blue waves, and said, "The reason why I say this is because everyone is imperfect, the difference between imperfection and imperfection, not only can you catch up with it just by hard work, some people are born with a different starting point, just like the face and height are given by their parents and cannot be changed, but there are some things that can be changed by themselves the day after tomorrow." ”

"And it's not the first two that you're missing, it's your attitude towards the world. ”

Cheng Xi stared at him for a long time, and said faintly, "It's a pity that you don't want to be a lecturer or a salesman." ”

"I also think my future work is quite suitable for what you said. Fang Ning smiled slightly.
