CHAPTER XXXVII

Seeing the ice cubes walking so simply, Wang Quan and I looked at each other, and our eyes were full of incredulity: this kid traveled thousands of miles from the northernmost province of the motherland to the imperial capital, just to ask such a headless sentence?

Watching Bing Cu Ling walk out of the courtyard, Wang Quan sighed and said, "Your Majesty, is there something wrong with your teacher's brain?"

"I'm a little skeptical......" I swallowed and said dumbfounded. But I always felt that something was wrong, no matter how sick a person was, he couldn't go all the way just to ask such a sentence, and he hadn't asked the answer he wanted to hear. Besides, looking at Bing Cuo Ling's appearance, he doesn't look like the kind of person who has no score in doing things, and besides, he also said that there is something important, so he didn't make a special trip to find Wang Quan? Also, what is the Shanxi Wang clan he mentioned?......

The mystery that had been trapped in my heart was not released, and a new mystery rushed into my heart, weighing me down a little.

Wang Quan saw that I was standing there with a frown on his brows and said nothing, so he quickly got up from the chair, patted me on the shoulder and comforted: "Okay, okay, you don't think too much, no matter what weirdness that guy has, fortunately, now he has and dung - get the ball, go, brother will take you to eat and drink spicy food!" With a wave of his hand, he put his arm around my neck and dragged me out of the main hall.

I was amused by his words, and I thought to myself, I didn't know what the hell that ice mound was doing, and it was useless to think about it, so I dragged me out of the door by the king's power.

Out of the door of the café, Wang Quan locked the door, turned his head and said to me: "The evening is the 'main meal', my brother will take you to taste the snacks in this alley first, and take two bites." As soon as I heard that there was something to eat, I didn't care about him, and immediately nodded in agreement.

Immediately, the two of us had a casual meal in a small shop at the mouth of the alley, and then wandered around Nanluoguxiang for an afternoon, thoroughly visiting the old streets of the Ming and Qing dynasties, and did not return to the door of the coffee shop until the evening.

Seeing that I was almost tired of walking for an afternoon, Wang Quan sent a small electric donkey to drive me to Houhai for a "big meal".

Within a few minutes, I saw a patch of lights coming on.

At night, Houhai is very lively, there are bars and restaurants here, and it is a place of lights and wine as far as the eye can see, especially in the tourist season, it is even more lively than during the day.

While I was looking around, Wang Quan smiled and said, "Aren't you always a literary and artistic indignant young man? ”

"What kind of talent, you kid don't sell off, hurry up and recruit from the truth!" I said, poking Wang Quan's back behind the electric donkey.

"Hey, don't poke me, you kid, we can't please both of us if the car overturns for a while, Kong Yiji has learned the text, right? It's the one written by Mr. Lu Xun, there is a Kong Yiji restaurant in Houhai, it is said that the owner of this restaurant was inspired by Mr. Lu Xun's article to open this restaurant, and I will take you to open your eyes today. "Just when Wang Quan and I were talking nonsense, the little electric donkey had already driven into Xicheng District.

After a while, Wang Quan parked the little electric donkey at the door of a quaint little house, "Get at your destination!

I also jumped off the little electric donkey, looking at the antique storefront, the blood of my literary and artistic youth began to boil a little, and the "toad" in my stomach had a faint tendency to awaken.

Wang Quan walked me into Kong Yiji Restaurant with me, and said provocatively to me: "Let's go, let's have a good drink today! Don't cry if you drink too much for a while!"

"Yo, for you, it's awesome, if you don't kneel down and sing conquest today, you'll be recognized as your father!" I immediately retorted.

"Have you drunk it or not, you are taking advantage of it?"

"Yo, do you hear that?" I laughed.

"Nonsense, I haven't drunk too much!" Wang Quan said as he glared at me with his eyes.

The two of us walked into the restaurant while you and I squeezed one sentence at a time.

The decoration in the restaurant is very elegant and chic, full of the atmosphere of a small town in the south of the Yangtze River, but it is very similar to the appearance of the old Shaoxing restaurant written by Lu Xun.

When he arrived at the hall, Wang Quan shouted with a big grin: "Waiter, is there a private room?"

At this time, a waitress wearing a blue Tang style uniform with her hair coiled rushed over when she heard the sound and asked with a smile, "Hello, how many guest officers are there?"

Wang Quan said: "Two, arrange a quiet private room for me." ”

The waiter listened to Wang Quan's words, and was slightly embarrassed: "Two guest officers, our private rooms are full, but there are still a few compartments, and they are also very quiet, what do you think?"

Wang Quan's eyes rolled: "It's okay, but don't fool me." ”

"Oh, no one dares to fool you!" the waitress said as she made a gesture of invitation and led us to the cubicle.

The cubicle is in the corner of the restaurant, one side is leaning against the window, the surroundings are quite quiet, there are only a few tables of people, and the cubicle is clean and chic.

"Are you satisfied?" said the waitress laughed.

"Okay, that's it. Wang Quan looked at it and nodded.

"Would you order now, or wait a moment?" the waiter asked.

"Let's order it now. Wang Quan said as he motioned for me to sit down.

The waiter handed over the menu, and after Wang Quan ordered special dishes such as drunk shrimp and fennel beans, he ordered two catties of rice wine of more than 50 degrees.

The waiter took the menu eleven and we waited for a while, and the food came immediately, so we hurried out.

"How is it, Your Majesty, are you still satisfied?" said Wang Quan.

"Not bad, boy. I nodded in approval.

"Where is this, sir, I have surprised you in many places!" Wang Quan immediately said with a smirk on his face when he heard me praise him.

"Gotcha, you still gasp when you say you're fat, isn't it uncomfortable if you don't pretend to force you for a day?" I said disdainfully.

……

As long as we stayed together, our mouths were not idle, and we talked nonsense for a while, and the food and wine were served.

Seeing that the wine was coming, Wang Quan hurriedly poured two glasses: "This is the most famous rice wine in this store, today we will meet victoriously, as the commander of the headquarters, we should do the friendship of the landlord, I will salute you first!"

I saw that this kid was menacing, so naturally I couldn't be afraid of him, and I immediately dried the rice wine in the cup in front of me.

As soon as the wine was in my stomach, my whole body was warm, and I couldn't help but exclaim: "Good wine!"

Immediately, I was filled with wine again: "The comrades in the frontier have successfully ignited the flame of revolution and spread the will of the motherland all over the great rivers and mountains.

"The frontier is bitterly cold, comrades have worked hard! I'll give you another drink, Chief!"

"Serve the people! Don't be afraid of hardship or tiredness! The chief is worried about the division in Beijing, and the comrades don't want to go, so I will salute the chief again!"

……

The wine has passed three rounds, and the dishes have passed five flavors. Two catties of rice wine have already been drunk by me and Wang Quan, and after asking for another catty, I also drank a little and a half.

We both drank in a daze, but fortunately I had a decent amount of alcohol, otherwise I would have to go in vertically and out horizontally.

Wang Quan's tongue was a little big, but it was still quite sober, and the two of us talked nonsense for a while, and suddenly, he said mysteriously: "This wine, I drank a little too much, I almost forgot to get down to business, Comrade Luo He, I'll show you, look at something." ”

As soon as I heard him say that he wanted to show me something, I immediately felt a lot more energetic: "What is it?"

"Of course, it's something related to what we're looking for. Wang Quan shook his head, and his eyes were not as loose as before.

"Don't sell it, come on, take it out and take a look. I urged.

"What is the monkey anxious about, wait. Wang Quan said as he cautiously looked left and right, and after making sure that no one was paying attention to us, he carefully took out a palm-sized picture from his trouser pocket.

"Look, what is this?" said the king, handing me the picture.

"What's so mysterious—" I muttered in confusion as I snatched the picture from the king's hand and looked at it, and suddenly I felt like a basin of cold water poured from my head to the bottom, "This, this is ......," I stammered.

It was an old black and white photo. The photo seems to be taken from a high place, above is a small island standing in the water, the photo range is very small, you can only see that there is water on three sides, you can't see which one is in the rivers, lakes and seas, there is only one shore, there are rocks piled up on it, and there are some lush trees overlooking it. But to my surprise, the shape of this island turned out to be the shape of a carp leaping dragon gate!
