Chapter 10: Confidantes

The tourist bus traveled for more than an hour, and some of the tourists in the bus closed their eyes and snored; Outside the car window, there are already undulating mountains, and the Great Wall hovering over the mountain beams can be faintly seen, like a soaring dragon.

Wu Fan was not sleepy at all, nor was he in the mood to enjoy the scenery outside the window. He was thinking about what he would do next?!... Do you want to go home, or stay in Beijing... If you go back to your hometown in the Northeast, there were two people when you came out, and now Lu Wei doesn't know where to go, and she goes back alone...!?How to explain to the parents of both sides, and what face do you have to meet relatives, friends, colleagues, and classmates, after all, he and Lu Wei have been together for 8 years, and they are recognized by everyone as a golden boy and girl... No, you must not go back, if you go back like this, your parents will be sad and not say anything, and you will not be able to raise your head to be a man, then your life may be completely over; Where are you going if you don't go back? What can you do if you go? What else can you do but dance?... Wu Fan has a lot of thoughts, and he can't figure it out...

Unconsciously, the bus has driven into the scenic service station, and the tourists on the bus are excited, sighing and admiring.

Gu Xiaotang got out of the car first, holding a small flag of the travel agency and holding a loudspeaker: "Now that we have arrived at the foot of the Badaling Great Wall, please do not engrave on the walls and ground of the Great Wall, and do not litter..."

The Great Wall is not as steep as you might think, but is connected by many gentle slopes, and there are stairs in the steeper places, and there are handrails on both sides and in the middle of the stairs, so it is not difficult to climb at all. Although it is winter, the Great Wall is still crowded with people, and there are many "foreigners" wrapped in it.

Gu Xiaotang: "This section of the Great Wall was mainly built in the Ming Dynasty, and you see, the Great Wall looks like a long dragon from afar, tall and strong. The walls were made of huge stone bars and bricks, and there were battlements more than two meters high on the outer edge of the walls, and there were square lookouts and shooting ports on the battlements, which were used for lookouts and shooting. There is a square platform every 300 meters on the top of the city wall, which is the fortress of the garrison. The place where we are standing now is called the beacon, do you know what the beacon is for?"

"The princes of the Beacon Theatre...", an elderly tourist with glasses answered, and at first glance the old man was a learned man.

Gu Xiaotang glanced at the elderly tourists and smiled: "Yes, what this old gentleman said is right, the princes of the Beacon Theater, the King of Zhou You in the Western Zhou Dynasty, smiled for Bo Bao, lit the beacon tower, and teased the princes. Bao Xi laughed when she saw it. The King of Darkness was very happy, so he lit the beacon fire many times. Later, the princes didn't believe it, and they gradually stopped coming. Later, the dog Rong led the troops to attack, and the king of Zhou You lit the beacon fire again, but the princes still did not send reinforcements, and the dog Rong broke through the pickaxe capital and killed the king of Zhou You. The beacon tower was originally used for alarm and early warning, but King Zhou You took it as a child's play, and as a result, he lost his life..."

"It sounds like grandma's story about the wolf," a 7/8-year-old tourist chimed in.

Laughter from tourists.

Walk up to the top of the city wall, which is paved with square bricks, very smooth, like a very wide road, and five or six horses can walk in parallel.

Wu Fan not only sighed in his heart: In ancient times, there were no cars or cranes, so they relied on the hands and feet of the people to lift this steep mountain step by step. How many working people's blood, sweat, and wisdom have condensed into this Great Wall that has no end in sight and no end in sight! As time passes, things are different from people, and now when we climb the ruins of the Great Wall in the past, we can not only witness the majestic posture of the Great Wall in the midst of the mountains and mountains, but also appreciate the great wisdom and courage of the Chinese nation in creating history.

Gu Xiaotang continued to take everyone to climb up, some tourists were already out of breath, and some tourists were so tired that their legs were weak and they simply sat on the ground and did not leave, Gu Xiaotang encouraged everyone: "The front is the hero slope, and there is an inscription on it - not a hero if you don't reach the Great Wall." You can't recognize bears, you are willing to be a good man, not a bear egg..."

When the tourist, who was sitting on the ground, heard this, he hurriedly got up and hobbled after him. yes, who wants to be a bear egg!

Everyone finally came to Haohan Slope, tourists took pictures one after another, and the staff of the travel agency sent a hot box lunch.

Gu Xiaotang said while distributing the box lunch: "This is the terminal station where we ascend the Great Wall today, after lunch, everyone is free to move, pay attention to safety, we will gather here at three o'clock to return"

Wu Fan took the boxed lunch and hid aside, obviously tired from climbing the Great Wall just now, he devoured the food in a big gulp...

Wu Fan has physical strength, excellent physical fitness, has practiced martial arts with his grandfather since he was a child, and danced Latin dance, (don't underestimate Latin dance, it's really not good to dance without physical strength, and now Latin dance has been included in sports competitions) But, there are too many things that have happened recently, Wu Fan is physically and mentally exhausted, and it is really not easy to climb the Great Wall.

After lunch, everyone scattered to travel freely, the physical strength continued to climb the Great Wall, the physical strength of the poor also wanted to challenge themselves, followed far behind, some tourists stayed in Haohan Slope, to other tourists to look at things, take pictures of each other.

Gu Xiaotang found Wu Fan who was hiding aside and resting in a coat, so he walked over and handed his water cup to Wu Fan: "Come, drink hot water, warm and warm."

Wu Fan was also not polite, took the water cup and drank: "Thank you, I didn't expect your body to be okay!"

"Hey, I can't help it, do you need a job, in order to make some living money, you have to hold on!" Gu Xiaotang said a little ridiculously: "By the way, you see that I am careless, I don't know what your name is!"

Wu Fan: "Wu Fan, Koutian Wu, Ordinary Fan"

"That's a good name, 'nothing' means nothing, ordinary mortal, that is to say, you have not been ordinary... It seems that you can achieve great things in the future..." Gu Xiaotang was like a fortune teller, talking serious nonsense, which amused Wu Fan.

"Hehe, not only are you good at what the tour guide says, but this funny kung fu is not bad" Wu Fan didn't have any intention of sarcastically mocking Gu Xiaotang, he really admired Gu Xiaotang's kung fu.

"I'm just a natural talker, optimist, look at what you've been sullen all day, what's on your mind... Let's talk about it... Holding back in the psyche is easy to get sick". Gu Xiaotang paid attention to Wu Fan all the way, not knowing why she wanted to get close to him, she wanted to understand him.

Seeing Gu Xiaotang ask like this, Wu Fan shook his head helplessly: "Hey, let's talk about it when I have a chance in the future, I can't tell you for the time being..."

Gu Xiaotang is not a person who asks the bottom of the matter, they must be investigated on one side, and the psychology is just to force Wu Fan to come to the Great Wall and feel uncomfortable: "Okay, if you want to talk to someone in the future, I am willing to listen... Today, I would like to thank you for coming to the Great Wall and helping me complete my work tasks, and I will invite you to dinner in the evening. ”

"No need, you stay with me and take me to watch the flag-raising ceremony, it's also my dream to come to the Great Wall... I owe it to you, I'll invite you when I have a chance in the future" Wu Fan was telling the truth, he thanked Gu Xiaotang psychologically, he should have invited Gu Xiaotang to dinner, but he was shy in his pocket, so he could only talk about it when he had the opportunity in the future.

"You are pretentious with me, so it is decided, I will invite you in the evening" Gu Xiaotang found that Wu Fan was in trouble, and said decisively and commandingly.

Wu Fan couldn't refuse, so he was afraid of hurting this kind-hearted girl: "Okay, even if I owe you." ”

"When you get rich in the future, you have to invite me to a big meal!"

"Well, by all means, please"

Gu Xiaotang looked at the time on his phone: "It's not early, I'm going to greet other tourists, it's time to return." ”

Although the two of them are on the same side, they have no strangeness to each other, this is a feeling that Wu Fan has never had, and it is also a feeling that Gu Xiaotang has never had, maybe this is the legendary confidant.
