Coincidentally, when the three of them went back, they happened to see Qi Xuan, who had bought the ticket, walking towards the pre-agreed meeting place. He put his hands in the pockets of his new down jacket, kicking the stones on the road while walking, Ruan Wan smiled secretly when he saw it, this kid is not honest when he walks, as if he has "juvenile ADHD".

"Qi Xuan!" Song Ting shouted from afar.

Qi Xuan raised his head in response, and when he saw that several people were still back, he immediately bared his teeth and grinned. After raising his hand and waving it vigorously at them a few times, he trotted all the way over, took the snacks and milk tea handed by Ruan Wan, and said in a cheerful tone: "I have already bought it, let's go!"

Compared with the crowds at the ticket office, the entrance to the Dragon Lady Cave is relatively better, probably because the ticket inspection procedure is less than the ticket sales procedure. Several people checked their tickets and quickly entered the iron gate that separated the scenic spot from the outside world.

From the legend, it is known that the entrance to the Dragon Maiden Cave is on the mountain, and this is indeed the case.

In most cases, travel is the happiest before the attraction, which has almost become an axiom. Therefore, it is best to be mentally prepared before traveling, that is, "the process is happy, and don't take whether the scenic spot is fun or not as a comment on the evaluation", if you don't do it, the ending is almost a tragedy. First, there are too many people in Huaguo, so many that they go to the scenic spots during the New Year's holidays, and the most seen scenery is "people"; second, most of the scenic spots are really not as fun as most people think, and the Dragon Girl Cave has obviously not been included in the minority category.

At the beginning of the climb, a few people could still laugh, and after climbing for about ten minutes, no one was happy to talk. Even if it's said occasionally, the conversation is almost-

"How much longer?"

"It should be soon, right?"

There are resting pavilions along the way, and most of them are full. There are also stalls around the pavilion to buy all kinds of food, water and accessories, but the price is almost double that of the mountain. Fortunately, several of them were neither hungry nor thirsty, and they planned to go all out, so they crawled and climbed!

In the thirtieth minute, the four finally saw the dawn of victory.

"Look, the hole!"

"Really!"

"Hurry up, hurry up!"

Looking at the momentary energetic appearance of her friends, Ruan Wan suddenly felt that it was not unreasonable for so many people to come to this place, so she rushed to this sense of surprise of "another village", which was enough to make people have endless memories afterwards.

Of course, the most attractive thing about the Dragon Lady Cave is the cave itself.

As we all know, the most suitable time to visit most tourist attractions is spring and autumn, but the Dragon Lady Cave is the opposite, the most suitable season to visit here is summer and winter.

As soon as they entered the cave, several people felt an indescribable sense of warmth.

This warmth does not come from any electrical appliance, but from the cave itself. Well, the experts can explain it very reasonably with their geographical knowledge, but for Ruan Wan and them, there is nothing more important than undressing at the moment!

In order to facilitate mountain climbing, Ruan Wan is also wearing an ordinary cotton jacket and trousers, so she can definitely keep the same pace with her friends at this moment. She untied her scarf and put it on her hand with her padded jacket, thinking to herself that maybe it would be better to come here in the summer.

"Hey, let's come back in the summer!"

She turned her head in surprise and found that it was Qi Xuan who said the same thing as herself.

"Summer?" Yu Qiaoqiao asked suspiciously.

"That's right!" Qi Xuan opened his hands and stretched out in this warm atmosphere before he said lightly, "How hot and hard it is to climb the mountain in summer, and then I was excited, hiss! That moment must have been more comfortable than it is now!"

That's really ......

It is reasonable and convincing!

"Let's go!" Qi Tusebi Xuan didn't know how spicy what he said made sense, because he was just expressing his inner feelings. After saying that, he rushed forward, "There's a statue over there!"

Probably because the process of going up the mountain diverted a lot of tourists, and the people in the cave were not crowded at all.

And some tourists even hired tour guides to guide them when they went up the mountain, and Ruan Wan said that although they were not hired, they could still hear the explanations of those tour guides.

"This one is a stone statue of a birthday star, and it is said that touching his beard can prolong his life. ”

Ruan Wan looked sideways at the stone statue and found that sure enough, the part of her beard was very slippery, and it should have been touched by many people.

She just looked, Qi Xuan ran over directly and began to stroke his beard wildly, and the skillfulness of his posture made Ruan Wan think badly, "What has this guy learned outside!". When Song Ting saw it, she hurriedly pulled Ruan Wan and Yu Qiaoqiao over to join in the fun.

A few people were groping wildly, and suddenly they heard a little girl next to them say-

"Auntie, isn't this the Dragon Girl Cave? ”

“…… Well, the birthday boy is just like you, and he's here to play. ”

"Then why does the birthday star turn to stone like the dragon girl?"

"Because ......" The tour guide sweated on his forehead, thinking to himself which child this is, and let people work unpleasantly! Originally, it was normal to sculpt statues in various tourist attractions these years, and a temple in the next county not only planted the statue of Sanqing, but also put Alibaba and Avanti into it!

"Oh, I see. The little girl's childish voice sounded again, "He must have been looking at it for too long, so he turned to stone." ”

"Yes, yes. The tour guide nodded repeatedly.

"Then if I pat him, will he wake up?" said the little girl, raising her hand and patting the birthday boy's body.

Everyone who saw this scene laughed.

The four of them also laughed for a while, and then walked away.

Seriously, the Dragon Lady Cave is not too big, and there are not too many statues inside, but the lighting is almost all in the form of floor lamps, which not only makes the cave appear dark but also allows visitors to see things clearly, which is very atmospheric. In a few moments, they walked to the most spacious part of the cave, where the statue of the Dragon Maiden and the scholar was. The two of them faced each other, in a posture close to each other. The eyes are lingering, the corners of the mouth are smiling, the demeanor is extremely realistic, and even the fingertips that touch each other give people a feeling of "they are alive".

Ruan Wan watched from afar, slightly moved. For some reason, she suddenly felt that the person who made this statue probably had a story, and if it wasn't for that, how could she carve such a realistic mood?

Is this kind of long-term stay a kind of happiness or a kind of sorrow?

Before she could come up with a reason, Song Ting had already shouted, "Let's go take pictures!"

As soon as Ruan Wan turned her head, she found that there was a photo booth just below the two giant statues. It is washed immediately, although the price is a little more expensive, but there are still many people who go to take it. After a few people summed it up, they decided to take four group photos first, one for each person. If anyone has spare money, they will take a single photo or take a group photo.

In the end, in addition to the four photos, Ruan Wan also took a group photo with the other three.

After completing this ceremony, Ruan Wan felt that the trip was almost coming to an end, and she was a little stunned in her heart. However......

After a few people crossed the statue of the dragon girl scholar, they actually encountered the biggest surprise of the trip.

The terrain of the Dragon Maiden Cave is all the way up, that is, they have reached the top of the mountain before they know it. However, compared to the painful ascent of the mountain, the way down the mountain is not by climbing, but-

Boat!

Several people's eyes lit up as they stared at the ships chained to the iron railings.

Ruan Wan also has to admit that this design is really pleasing. Think about it, after watching, the cave is so warm, and then think about it, it's cold when you go out, and you have to go down, you just cry and faint in the toilet! At this time, you can take a boat, and you can take a boat down the mountain, it's just amazing.

Although this is charged separately, the money is not much to spread evenly among everyone, not to mention, so much money is spent, which is nothing.

So several people decisively got on the boat.

Boaters hardly have to slip because the water will carry the boat straight down. On board, several people put on their coats and scarves again - it was obviously colder closer to the water.

In about ten minutes, the boat docked at the foot of the mountain.

Several people got off the boat and landed on the shore, but in the end, they were children who grew up by the water, and they didn't need to adapt to the sense of disparity at all, and they were even more excited.

Song Ting smiled and said, "Let's come together next time!"

"In the summer?" asked Yu Qiaoqiao.

"It's necessary!" Qi Xuan nodded in affirmation of her words, and then turned his head to look at Ruan Wan, "What about you?

Ruan Wan looked at the three pairs of expectant eyes, smiled, and nodded heavily: "Hmm!"

"It's early, though. Qi Xuan glanced at his watch, "It's only twelve o'clock." Let's have lunch, go shopping, and go back. ”

When it came to shopping, Ruan Wan couldn't help but think of what happened before, and if she could, she would like to take the car back as much as she could. However, looking at Song Ting and Yu Qiaoqiao's expressions, she obviously agreed with Qi Xuan's statement. Thinking that those two people should have been imprisoned, and there would never be a chance to come out again to retaliate or anything, I didn't insist on opposing it.

So the four of them happily formed a team and walked out into the street.

The local cuisine is most famous for its blood boom. Xuewang is blood tofu, which is mostly made with pig's blood, chicken blood, and duck blood. Among them, Ruan Wan likes to make duck blood the most, and the blood made with it has no fishy smell, and the taste is delicate, more delicate and tender.

On the small restaurants on this street, almost all of them will hang the sign of "Xuewang".

"Which one should I go to?"

"Let's go to the less crowded. "Qi Xuanti, now is the time to eat, and there are people everywhere.

"Stupid!" Song Ting objected, "The more people, the better the food!"

So a few people ran to the door of the restaurant with a large family and lined up, and luckily, it didn't take long to have a table. After a few people sat down, they looked at the menu and made a difficulty. Although Ruan Wan had never been to Longnu Cave in her previous life, she still knew a little about the famous local dishes, so she said: "We want a shredded pork with smoked bamboo shoots, a sauce grilled tofu, a quinoa bacon, and a sauerkraut Xuewang soup." ”

The waiter smiled when she heard her say this: "The little girl doesn't look like a local, and she is quite good at ordering." I'm telling you, you've come to the right place. Don't look at our small shop here, my master here, made of sauerkraut and blood soup, that's called a-" He gave a thumbs up, "Awesome! I dare not say that it is the first, but it is definitely the top ten." ”

"Then where should I eat the first one?" Qi Xuan asked cheaply.

Waiter: "......"

Nguyen Wan supported her forehead.

If you don't know what will happen in advance, many people can't help but take action to stop it. For example, if Ruan Wan knew that Qi Xuan would say this, she would definitely cover his mouth, and for example, if Ruan Wan knew that Qiao Yi would also walk into this restaurant, she would definitely not come in.

It's a pity that everything really didn't know earlier.

Two more

Business is good, but the speed of serving is even better. The few people didn't wait for a while, and the dishes came one after another. Naturally, it is impossible for this group of minors to drink any wine, and they have drunk a belly of milk tea before, and they are not interested in drinks at present, so they are all honestly pulling rice. The rice is about freshly cooked in the rice cooker, and although the rice is not particularly good, it is definitely not bad.

After a while, the dishes on the table were swept away.

Qi Xuan, who has made outstanding contributions to the "cause of not wasting things", leaned back on the stool, patted his round little belly, and sighed with satisfaction while hiccuping: "I don't want to leave." ”

"Then you can stay here. Song Ting, who also looked satisfied, said with a smile, "Let's go back first." ”

“…… You're crossing the river and demolishing the bridge!" Qi Xuan expressed dissatisfaction.

Song Ting turned her face to look at Ruan Wan and Yu Qiaoqiao: "Wanwan, Qiaoqiao, are you saying that what I said is right?"

Yu Qiaoqiao lowered her head and smiled, and her approving attitude was revealed.

Qi Xuan turned his head and stared at Ruan Wan.

Ruan Wan stretched out a thumb in his husky-like gaze, fully expressing her support for her little friend.

Song Ting turned her head sideways and looked at Qi Xuan's classmate "provocatively" - about the hatred that this guy had scared her before she held a grudge, she had always been a little difficult with Qi Xuan. However, this kind of "can't get by" is not deliberately finding fault or anything, it's just ...... Well, habitually make him unhappy, and then he will be happy.

In this kind of thing, Ruan Wan has always "helped relatives but not helped"! Well, good Ji You, that's how powerful!

A few people didn't come early, just in time for the tail of the peak period. So when I finished eating, the store was relatively empty. Since no one was in a hurry to occupy a seat to eat, they were naturally not in a hurry to leave, anyway, neither the boss nor the waiter showed any intention of rushing people. And at this very moment......

Qiao Yi walked in.

As soon as he entered the door, many people's eyes naturally turned to him.

Putting aside those past grievances and hatreds, Ruan Wan had to admit that he, like his father Qiao Jingwei, was a pretty good man. This kind of excellence does not simply refer to appearance, but no one can deny it, even if it is just about appearance, Qiao Yi definitely calls it "outstanding" on the ground. He looks very much like Qiao Jingwei - in this matter, Ruan Wan can't worship this titular "stepfather", because his genes are really strong, whether it is Qiao Yi or Qiao Xinyuan, they are very similar to him in terms of facial contours.

Of course, whether it is Qiao Yi or Qiao Xinyuan, they are also better than Qiao Jingwei's appearance. Strictly speaking, Qiao Jingwei's appearance is only average, and he is better than the momentum accumulated over the years, just poking it there makes people unable to ignore it and dare not despise it.

Both Qiao Yi and Qiao Xinwan inherited some of the characteristics of their respective mothers.

For example, Joe Xinyuan, her beauty and lips are very similar to her mother, this trait makes her both heroic and cute.

And Qiao Yi, he is more like Qiao Jingwei than Qiao Jingwei wishes, but he also inherited some of his mother's characteristics - Ruan Wan once inadvertently saw her photos, and I have to admit that Qiao Jingwei is really a winner in life, and the two wives are first-class beauties, and their temperaments are completely different.

"This uncle looks so handsome. ”

Ruan Wan was in a complicated mood when she heard Song Ting say this in a low voice.

She almost didn't squirt, and sure enough, friends are a good way to relieve her mood!

Qiao Yi's appearance is handsome, but it is by no means the feeling of a beautiful man, but it brings people a sense of perseverance, simply put, it is the kind of "sword eyebrows and starry eyes" in martial arts novels, and his temperament is also with his father. If there's one downside, it's probably ...... Well, ahem, that's so calm.

She remembered that he was only twenty years old now, and he looked like twenty-five or sixteen. By the time he was twenty-five or sixteen, he looked like he was in his thirties. But it's also strange, when he really reaches the age of thirty, his appearance is constant, no matter how you look at it, he is thirty years old, neither increasing nor decreasing. I don't know what it will be like when she is forty years old, Ruan Wan didn't live to that time in her previous life, and in this life, she feels that she can try to watch.

But then again, Song Ting's "low voice" is actually ...... The sound is really not too low. It's no wonder that she originally had a loud voice, even if she lowered her voice, it would be ...... What's even more unfortunate is that Qiao Yi's hearing is still very good.

Thereupon......

Ruan Wan twitched when she saw his face, but he had always been well-cultivated, and he could not help but not forget to look at them immediately, so as not to embarrass the "little girl" who spoke.

However, Ruan Wan felt that he probably had internal injuries.

She looked at his miserable appearance, and suddenly felt as if she didn't hate him so much—if he could continue to tragedy a thousand and eight hundred times, it would be estimated that her disgust would be gone—Ruan Wan, a broad-minded classmate, thought.

"Where is handsome. Qi Xiaoxuan snorted and said very narcissistically, "When I grow up to this uncle's age, I must be more handsome than him." ”

Ruan Wan smiled secretly, thinking that this guy had been out for a year, and he hadn't learned anything else, but he had a bad problem of "narcissism".

"Come on. Song Ting looked at him disdainfully and said, "When you reach this age, you may not be able to compare with others." ”

"Of course I can compare!" Qi Xuan said strongly, "When I reach his age, he will be old, and I will definitely be more handsome than him." ”

Yu Qiaoqiao covered her mouth.

Ruan Wan couldn't hold back, and laughed out loud.

This time, the conversation between the two of them was actually quite quiet, and ordinary people couldn't hear it. However, who made Qiao Yi's ears good?

Who knows, Qiao Yi didn't turn his head when the others spoke just now, but after her "poof", he turned his head instead. The gaze was impartial, and it just fell on her.

Ruan Wan: "......" After being stunned for a short time, she resolutely turned her head, and Quan didn't see him.

This time it was Qiao Yi's turn to "......".

Actually, he was really depressed.

Originally, he just listened to his father's words to visit an elder, but he inadvertently saved a beautiful little girl as big as his sister, and the little girl didn't know why she hated him. Then when he came to help with the takeaway, he met the little girl again, the little girl pretended not to know him, and her friends agreed that he was "old". He doesn't want this kind of thing, but his appearance is natural, and he can't give it to his parents. When he was at home, others mentioned this and gave his father face, saying that he was "young and old" and "extraordinarily calm", which sounds good, but the translation is-

You, very, old!

But he is depressed and depressed, so naturally he will not trouble people and children because of this kind of thing.

Since the little girl pretended not to know him, he should not have seen her.

So Qiao Yi reported the name of the dish to the waiter and asked for it to be packed, and the waiter smiled and said that it would be fine soon, and asked him to sit in the house and wait. Qiao Yi glanced left and right, and finally chose a table that had been wiped clean and was closest to the door to sit down, and it was a coincidence that this table was next door to Ruan Wan's table.

Although Qiao Yi looked at Ruan Wan at that glance just now, the other three still felt that they had been "caught", and they were all a little embarrassed and uncomfortable for a while, especially Qi Xuan, a fool who knows that it is not right to say bad things about people behind their backs, they not only said it, but also were known by the parties concerned, this is too embarrassing!

Ruan Wan bent the corners of her mouth, but she thought it was very interesting. However, she couldn't bear to see her friends fidgeting all the time, so she raised her hand and shouted, "Check out." ”

The waiter came.

To say that the price of goods in these years is really cheap, three dishes and one soup are only less than forty yuan - this is still the price of the scenic spot, and this plate and bowl can almost fit Ruan Wan's two faces.

The change on several people was not enough, so Ruan Wan simply handed the whole money left on her body to the waiter. Just as the waiter went to look for money for a few people, a man wearing a hat and a mask walked in - it was cold and windy now, and it was normal for someone to dress like this.

As soon as this person came in, Ruan Wan frowned, for no other reason, this person really smelled of alcohol.

The other waiters had just left, and the rest of the waiters were looking for money, so there was no one to entertain him for a while. The man didn't speak, he just walked directly into the room, as if he was going to the counter, so he passed by the middle of the two tables of Ruan Wan and Qiao Yi.

At this very moment-

Something on his body fell to the ground, just rolling between Qiao Yi's feet and the gap between the table.

Qiao Yi looked down and bent down.

The man paused, as if waiting for Qiao Yi to help him pick up the things.

A qiē seems to be normal, except for ......

Ruan Wan watched the man slowly take out the things from the thick coat pocket, her pupils suddenly dilated, ordinary people couldn't react at this time, but after all, she had repeatedly faced the life and death of others and herself in her previous life, and she was stunned for a second and actually reacted, and then grabbed the soup bowl in front of her without thinking, smashed it out hard, and shouted by the way-

"Be careful!"

As soon as Qiao Yi heard this voice, he rolled on the ground without thinking, and when he stood up from the other side, he happened to see a knife falling from the man's hand. And......

A huge soup bowl buckled upside down on top of the man's head.

Him: "......"

Qiao Yi was momentarily stunned, and then saw that the man with the wrong intentions with a sharp weapon skewed left and right, his eyes hooked, and after a "poof", he directly hit the street.

To say that the soup bowl is really strong, so it didn't break, but it rolled to the side, and there was an extra gap.

Qiao Yi looked at the bowl, then at the blood on the man's forehead, and then at the beautiful little girl who was still holding her hands up...... A bowl knocked an adult man unconscious.

This girl......

The hand strength is quite strong.
