Chapter 40: Mountains and Rivers (7)
After breakfast, the two went to Xuanwu Lake, but somehow, there were many dead fish in the lake, countless, and somehow. If a big park is full of fishy smell, how can visitors have any intention of playing. They entered from the south gate and exited through the north gate, and when they saw that there was a bus going to the Yangtze River, Ye Zixin suggested that it was better to go to the Yangtze River to have a look, living water is better than dead water.
The two got on the bus again. After a while, the car arrived at the Xiaguan Wharf on the Yangtze River. Ye Ziyu suddenly had a thought, he thought that if he took another train to return to Jincheng, the taste would be unbearable, it was really better to take a boat up the river, go to the mountain city first, and then transfer to the train to go home. Although the time is longer, it happens to visit the Three Gorges, and I heard that the Three Gorges will not be cut off next year? Just in time to bid farewell to the Three Gorges. With his mind decided, he took Li Xin to the ticket office.
From Ningcheng to the end of Shancheng, the ship has to sail for six days and six nights. Ye Ziyu looked at the ticket price and was taken aback, the ordinary class is also several hundred yuan, where can I afford it? He saw that the other window said "119 yuan for a loose seat," so he walked over and asked the conductor, what does this casual seat mean? The conductor said that it was a ticket without a class. Ye Ziyu smiled at the conductor: "I haven't been on a boat, I wonder if this loose seat is equivalent to a non-seat ticket for the train, right?" The conductor's attitude was very friendly, and he was amused by his question, telling him that if he bought a loose ticket, he could only stay on the rear deck on the ship, and he could only sleep on the deck at night.
Ye Ziyu thought to himself, isn't this better, 24 hours to see the scenery, so he took out his student ID card and asked if he could buy half a ticket? The conductor said yes, he was happy, half a ticket was 60 yuan, which was about the same as a train ticket, so he immediately bought a ferry ticket and set off at six o'clock in the morning the next day.
Li Xin was a little worried, and said how to sleep on the deck? Ye Ziyu said that it was okay, and she would find a way when she got on the boat. There is also a train ticket office next door to the ferry ticket, so Ye Ziyu went over to buy a ticket for Li Xin to go home at seven o'clock that night, and hurried back to the guest house to check out. After taking care of everything, he thought it was time to say hello to Li Heng. asked Li Xin to wait for a while, and he went to the boys' building to say goodbye to Li Heng. It happened that Li Heng was in the bedroom, Ye Ziyu left the mailing address between himself and Li Xin, and then said that there was a chance to contact. Li Heng enthusiastically asked him to sit for a while, Ye Ziyu was afraid that Li Xin would wait for a long time, so he hurriedly said goodbye.
The two went to the train station again, ready to send Li Xin on the train first. Li Xin was always uneasy and asked, "Do you still have any money on you?"
Ye Ziyu said: "Don't worry, you can get home anyway." ”
Li Xin said: "I still have ten yuan on me, let you go there." ”
Ye Ziyu said no, Li Xin insisted on giving: "I can get home in an hour, how can I get the money?"
Ye Ziyu said: "You have to put ten pieces on your body, you can't be penniless." ”
The two argued, and Ye Ziyu said: "It's better for you to keep it, don't worry if you don't have a penny." How do I feel, we have become a poor couple and mourned. ”
He just meant to laugh, but he didn't want Li Xin to cry all at once.
Ye Ziyu hurriedly comforted: "The ancients traveled to the south of the Yangtze River, and the most proud thing was 'wrapping 100,000 yuan around the waist and riding a crane down to Yangzhou', but I wrapped ten yuan around my waist and looked at Yangzhou across the river." Spicy Mom, when I have money, I'm going to open a few Lidong Courtyards and Liqiu Courtyards. ”
He learned the tone of Jin Yong's novel "The Story of Deer and Ding" and said this, which finally caused Li Xin to burst into tears and laugh. But Li Xin was still extremely worried: "When I get to the mountain city, I have to transfer to the train to go home, can I have the money on my body?"
Ye Ziyu said: "You don't have to worry about it when you get to the mountain city, isn't Yan Motong's house in the mountain city, as soon as you arrive, look for him, I have their address and phone number." ”
Li Xin was a little calmer.
Soon it was time, Li Xin was about to enter the station, still choked, Ye Ziyu stroked her cheek and said, "I am also reluctant to part with you, go back and have a good rest." This summer, we won't write letters, remember, I'll pick you up at Jincheng Station on September 3rd. ”
After the two separated, Ye Ziyu sat alone in the waiting room for a while, he carefully took out his pockets and counted all the cash: 46 yuan 2 jiao 2 points. He thought to himself: Damn, I don't know where these two points came from? If you get on the boat at six o'clock tomorrow morning, you won't have to find a guest house, so you might as well go to the riverside waiting room and lie down for the night, and it's not too late to get on the boat early in the morning and go to sleep.
Although it was dusk. The weather is hot. Ye Ziyu jumped on the bus to the pier, and soon arrived at the waiting hall by the river. There were not many people in the room, it was just as hot, Ye Ziyu was lying on the bench, and no one paid attention to it. He closed his eyes and waited for the dawn to come.
Besides, Li Xin got on the train and returned to Nancheng at about nine o'clock in the evening, and her home was not far from the train station, and she had already walked there in about ten minutes. She stood downstairs and called "Dad", and saw that the window of her house on the second floor suddenly opened, and the figures of her parents appeared in the window.
She was about to call her mother again, but she saw Li Hao bluffing and said, "How did you do it? Why did you only arrive today? Do you know that your mother and I waited at the train station for three days in a row for the train from Jincheng, and we didn't see your figure? Do you know that we will be very worried?"
Her father rarely lost his temper at her. But I didn't want to be reprimanded by Li Haosheng as soon as I arrived at the door this time, Li Xin was immediately aggrieved, and when she lowered her head, tears fell again. The mother felt sorry for her daughter, and hurriedly said to her husband, "Okay, okay, don't talk about your daughter, just get home! As she spoke, she hurried downstairs to open the door and took her daughter's luggage from her hand.
The mother and daughter returned to the room, and Shen Runzhen asked her to change her dirty clothes, helped her put hot water, and then asked her to take a bath. When she came out of the shower, her father had prepared a meal and was waiting for her to eat.
Li Haosheng saw that there were still tears on his baby daughter's face, pouted, looked slightly aggrieved, and his heart softened, and said gently: "Hurry up and sit down to eat, your mother prepared these dishes a few days ago, just waiting for you to come back to eat." ”
In Li Xin's heart, a burst of warmth and gratitude arose, and her parents were really attentive to her. During the meal, the couple asked their daughter about her study and life at school this semester, and Li Xin replied that it was all right.
Actually, Li Haosheng really wanted to ask his daughter, what is the relationship between her and the boy named Ye Ziyu now? But he can't ask when he thinks about it, but he believes that his daughter will listen to them, and the relationship with that boy should be just a classmate.
After the meal, the parents asked their daughter to rest early, and Li Xin said goodnight to them and returned to her room. She was really tired, but she couldn't sleep when she was lying on the bed and couldn't turn over and over, and she was still worried about Ye Ziyu in her mind.
She thought, where did he sleep now? I don't know what to eat at night, and I don't know if he will be able to get on the boat tomorrow?
It's just that the two of them are inexperienced and haven't prepared more money. It would take him another week to get home, and there was no one to accompany him along the way.
Li Xin thought that she should call Yan Motong first tomorrow and tell him that Ye Ziyu would take a boat to the mountain city in a few days, and she would feel much more relieved if Yan Motong took care of her. After a long time, she finally fell asleep with the figure of the lover in her mind.
