Maintaining a regular routine for a long time has made Mo Fan's biological clock very accurate, and he no longer needs an alarm clock, and he wakes up by himself at about half past six every morning, even when he returns to his hometown.

He sat up and looked out the window, and when he saw that it was pitch black, as if it was still late at night, he lay back down. Suddenly, I heard Ji Xiaoying say, "You are all up, why are you lying down again?"

The sound was not loud, and the audio was relatively low, obviously Ji Xiaoying deliberately lowered her voice, but because it came too suddenly, Mo Fan couldn't help but be startled, a spirit sat up, and saw a figure behind him, naturally Ji Xiaoying, and couldn't help but complain softly: "It's early in the morning, what are you scared?"

Ji Xiaoying said: "Who is scary?"

Mo Fan said: "You came over without any sound, like a ghost!"

Ji Xiaoying said: "Aren't I afraid of arguing with my uncle and aunt." Wake up, it's time to exercise!"

Mo Fan stretched and said, "Turn on the light." ”

Ji Xiaoying walked to the wall and pressed the switch on the ceiling light in the living room, and the room lit up.

Mo Fan let his eyes adjust to the light, and when he saw that Ji Xiaoying had already changed into sports clothes, he asked, "How long have you been up?"

Ji Xiaoying said: "It didn't take long. Hurry up, don't waste time. ”

Mo Fan said, "You go out first, and then I'll talk about it when I put on my clothes." ”

Ji Xiaoying pursed her lips and said, "Just your two or two ribs of flesh, when I don't see them rarely?" After speaking, he walked towards the outside of the living room.

Mo Fan called her again: "Hey, you add an extra piece of clothing inside, it's still quite cold here in the morning." ”

Ji Xiaoying said: "Got it." ”

Mo Fan took out his sportswear from his suitcase and quickly put it on. The temperature is very low in the morning, and there is still a little wind, so it is better to wear a hat, and gloves are also to be worn, he has told Ji Xiaoying about these matters before coming. When she went to the door to change her shoes, Ji Xiaoying also came out of the bedroom, and seeing that she was not wearing a hat, Mo Fan reminded her again. Ji Xiaoying turned the hat of the sweatshirt over and put it on her head, and said, "Yes!"

The two came out of the house and were about to close the door, Mo Fan remembered something and said to Ji Xiaoying, "You wait for me." ”

Ji Xiaoying saw him enter the house, and came out after a while, saying, "What are you doing?"

Mo Fan gently locked the door and said, "I turned on the water heater, don't you take a shower when you come back?" ”

Ji Xiaoying was puzzled: "Water heater?"

Mo Fan said: "Didn't you notice that my shower is electric? ”

Ji Xiaoying said: "I really didn't pay attention, didn't I wash it directly yesterday." ”

Mo Fan said: "When you watch TV, my mother turns it on, otherwise where do you think the hot water comes from?"

Ji Xiaoying smiled and said, "I see." ”

When the two arrived downstairs, Ji Xiaoying asked, "Where are you going?" Mo Fan said, "Riverside, come with me." Ji Xiaoying said: "You are too slow, just tell me how to go." Mo Fan said: "You won't wait for me leisurely, I don't care if I run away!" Ji Xiaoying said: "How could I run away?" Mo Fan said: "Have you ever been a scout?" Ji Xiaoying said: "Then you don't care!"

There was still silence in the neighborhood at this time, and most of the windows of the residential buildings were dark, so the voices of the two men were still soft.

After leaving the community, Mo Fan took Ji Xiaoying to jog south along the road, and came to the river after a distance of about one kilometer. The top of the embankment of this section of the river is a sightseeing walkway, which is very smooth and there are no motor vehicles, which is perfect for morning jogging.

Ji Xiaoying was very satisfied with the location Mo Fan chose, but she was surprised that there were only two of them, and asked while moving her body: "Doesn't anyone here do morning exercises?"

Mo Fan said: "You don't look at what time it is, if it weren't for your urging, I wouldn't have gone out." ”

Ji Xiaoying said: "It's almost six and three o'clock, you usually go downstairs a long time ago, right?"

Mo Fan said: "There is a time difference of one hour between here and Puhai, and the latitude is northern, so it is very late in winter. In another half an hour, there should be people. ”

Ji Xiaoying said: "It's only an hour, do you still have to reverse the jet lag? Besides, don't you still use the capital time here!"

Mo Fan said: "Okay, you just take me as if I was talking nonsense. ”

Ji Xiaoying smiled and said, "Teasing you." I run in front, turn back when the distance is almost there, and you run slowly behind and wait to meet me. ”

Mo Fan said: "You'd better take it easy, it's more than a thousand meters above sea level here." ”

Ji Xiaoying said: "I feel it, but it doesn't affect much. With that, he ran forward.

Mo Fan followed her, thinking, I've been exercising for months, and I'm not as good as her in other aspects, so the gap between long-distance running should not be big, and today is also a home game, so let's try how long I can be with her.

Ji Xiaoying ran for a while, glanced back, and saw Mo Fan following not far behind, so she reduced her speed a little, and when Mo Fan caught up, she resumed her previous speed.

The direction of the two of them was the east, and before they knew it, the sky in front of them was white. After a while, he saw the fiery red dome, peeking out of the distant mountains, reflecting the sky there, at first as if rising little by little, gradually revealing half of its body, and finally as if it had leaped out of the mountains at once, radiating a dazzling light. Facing the rising sun, the steps of the two seemed to become lighter.

As the sky brightened, everything around became clear. Qinzhou is a small city with a long and narrow terrain, the north and south are mountains, you can see clearly on the river embankment, the east and west sides stretch along the river, look far away, and see still mountains. Gradually, there was traffic on the road by the embankment, and there were people exercising in the morning on the embankment, and this ancient town began to wake up.

Suddenly, a roar came from the other side of the river, and it was an unusual shout, and the roar revealed a quaint and desolate smell.

Ji Xiaoying was attracted by this voice, stopped and asked, "Is this hanging your throat?"

Mo Fan also stopped and said, "Perhaps, it should be singing in the Qin dialect." ”

Ji Xiaoying's breath was still relatively stable when he spoke, but Mo Fan was a little panting, he knew from this comparison that he was still far from Ji Xiaoying, it was really strange how the body of a violent girl was so good.

I only heard someone sing: "Yan Zhang hit the north slope of the horse, and there are more new graves than old graves." The new grave of Han Guangwu is buried, and the old grave is buried by Han Xiao He. Han Xin is buried on the back of the green dragon, and Zhuge is buried in front of the five zhangyuan. Life is not to be taken lightly, even if you are afraid of death!"

Ji Xiaoying walked to the inside of the embankment and stood against the railing. The surface of the river inside the embankment is clear and tranquil, like the water of a lake, reflecting the clear blue sky. On the other side of the river, I faintly saw a figure, who seemed to be not young, and the singing was made by him.

Mo Fan couldn't help but be slightly surprised when he saw that she could hear it, and said, "Do you like to hear this?"

Ji Xiaoying said: "It feels very tasteful, and it is very different from Yue Opera, Peking Opera, and Huangmei Opera. ”

Mo Fan smiled: "That's nature. Yue Opera is gentle and delicate, Peking Opera is gorgeous and mellow, Huangmei Opera is fresh and gentle, each opera has its own unique place, which is all culture. ”

Ji Xiaoying turned her head sideways at Mo Fan and said, "Are you laughing at me?"

Mo Fan said: "Don't you keep doing this, it will make me feel very tired to talk to you!"

Ji Xiaoying pursed her lips and said, "You and Liang Wenbo like to laugh at people while showing off." ”

Mo Fan said: "How can I have it, it's Liang Wenbo that guy who likes to bite and chew words and hang the book bag, what does it have to do with me?"

"Don't pretend to be a good person, you are more hateful than him!" Ji Xiaoying glanced at Mo Fan, and asked again: "Then what do you say are the characteristics of Qin Yan?"

Mo Fan said: "Didn't you hear it all, rough and simple, high-pitched and agitated, that uncle or uncle has already sung very tastefully." ”

Ji Xiaoying nodded and said, "It just sounds a little tragic." ”

Mo Fan said: "That's a paragraph of "Goujiatan", which tells the story of Wang Yanzhang, a general under Zhu Wen, Taizu of Later Liang, during the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period. This general Wang was surrounded by several enemies in a place called Goujiatan, and was outnumbered because of the exhaustion of food, and finally killed himself with a sword. Most of Qin Yan's most famous plays are tragedies, and this is the taste of singing. Probably because of this, young people don't like it much now. ”

Ji Xiaoying said: "You seem to know a lot." ”

Mo Fan said: "I often listened to it with my grandfather when I was young, but I couldn't sing a word. ”

Ji Xiaoying smiled and said, "Okay, let's run back." ”

Mo Fan said, "Run a little further, and I'll take you to breakfast." ”

The two of them ran along the river embankment, and gradually there were more people around them. Ji Xiaoying was very curious about the quiet water in the river embankment, ran for a while, and found that there was a dam across the river, so she was not surprised. The dam was not built very high, and it seems that it was simply used to store water, creating this section of the river.

After running across a bridge, Mo Fan took Ji Xiaoying down the embankment and entered a ramen restaurant on the side of the road. This noodle restaurant Mo Fan came to eat when he was in junior high school, and it can be regarded as a time-honored brand, and the business has been very prosperous. Mo Fan asked Ji Xiaoying to find a seat to sit down first, and he went to the window to line up.

There were a lot of people eating noodles in the store, but fortunately, it was still relatively early, and there were many empty seats, so Ji Xiaoying found an empty table on the side and sat down. It was the first time she had seen a restaurant with this business model, the owner just sat at the door to collect money, diners bought meal rolls and queued up at the window by themselves, and after they came out, they also served them to the table by themselves, and the waiters in the store were only responsible for cleaning up the used dishes and chopsticks and tables, which was a bit like the canteen of a certain unit. In Puhai, no matter how big or small the store is, I never see diners serving their own dishes.

After seven or eight minutes, Mo Fan came over with two bowls of noodles. When Ji Xiaoying saw that there was a layer of red spicy oil floating on the soup, almost covering the entire bowl, she hesitated a little and said, "Eating so many chili peppers in the morning is not good for the stomach?"

Mo Fan said: "This chili pepper is not very spicy, in fact, it only has the upper layer, which looks bluffing." You can eat last night's dough, this should be fine. You can taste it, and if you don't get used to it, I'll bring you another bowl without chili peppers. ”

Ji Xiaoying picked up the chopsticks and picked out a little noodles, and after eating, she nodded and said, "It's really not very spicy, it's quite fragrant." ”

Mo Fan smiled and said, "Then let's eat quickly." ”
