The walls of Gaonu County are very high. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 Outside the city walls are two rows of thick and luxuriant weeping willows. Yuelou Satoyama parked the convertible outside the city and walked into the city with the tourists.

The houses on the edge of the city are relatively low, and the streets are dilapidated. The further you go, the more prosperous you become. There are more shops and more people. At this time, it was the afternoon, and the aroma of people and restaurants rushed into the nose of Yuelou Congshan.

Yuelou smelled all kinds of aromas and almost drooled. She shook Congshan's arm and said, "It's so fragrant, shall we eat something?"

Whether it's a restaurant on a remote road or a restaurant in a bustling market, Congshan has been there. He carefully distinguishes the aromas in the air: dumplings, fried dough sticks, fried buns, and special aromas such as lychee meat, dried scallops, and soft and slippery fish.

He knew that Yuelou had never eaten at a street stall, so he said to her, "Let's eat fried buns, right?"

"What is fried bun?" Yuelou asked suspiciously.

"Don't you know if you eat it?" Congshan pretended to look at Yuelou mysteriously and said, "The smell came from over there." Let's go!"

A few steps further and you will reach the end of the street. Sure enough, there is a fried bun shop here. The fried buns are browned in color and have an attractive aroma that makes people salivate.

Yuelou approached the oil pot and said, "I've never eaten steamed buns, and I don't even seem to have seen them." But it looks pretty tasty. ”

Congshan said: "When I was a child, I liked to eat oil buns, and my mother often made them for me." He looked at the oil bun and couldn't help but start thinking about the past. His childhood was not a happy one. Mother's love was his only solace during those painful years.

I don't know how long it took, he slowly turned his head: "Shall we sit outside?"

The brown table had turned black, and there was a layer of grease on it. Yuelou took a closer look, and saw that the shopkeeper was greasy, with beads of sweat the size of beans on his face, and his hand was wiping a handful on his apron from time to time.

She frowned and said, "Shall we change the other?"

Congshan said with a smile: "Don't you always say that people should be pure in heart and have few desires? This is the life of ordinary people. Should they have no desires and live in poverty?"

"Pure heart and few desires are the satisfaction of the status quo. Aren't they just satisfied with the status quo?"

"Are they really satisfied? If they were given 10 million, they would buy a villa. Maybe I'll get another wife!"

"They don't want 10 million at all. You see, whether it's the owner or the diners, they're all smiling and talking, isn't it a good time?"

The shopkeeper smiled and brought the steamed bun to him.

Yuelou didn't get up and leave. She looked at the smile on his face, and suddenly became lighter and happy.

Congshan said: "Two more bowls of gruel." ”

While eating, he chatted with the shopkeeper for a while. From chatting with the owner, they knew that there was a river here. Tourists enjoy taking a boat ride to enjoy the quaint scenery of the small county. In addition to the river, there is also Nanshan Mountain next to the small county. There are caves, clear springs, temples, and celebrities on the mountain.

The shopkeeper said, "This man is very famous. He is one of the 'Top Ten Talents of the Republic of China' and has written many poems and novels. ”

Hearing the shopkeeper's words, Yuelou smiled: "Then we must visit this person." ”

Congshan said: "If he is really so talented, how can he live in the mountains?"

The shopkeeper said: "It is said that he likes to be pure and carefree, and he does not want to be in the same stream as those corrupt officials." After he lived in the mountain, Yuan Datou came to invite him, but he just didn't come down. ”

"It's a very backbone person." Yuelou praised.

The shopkeeper looked at Yuelou and said with a wicked smile: "If he doesn't bring you here, it will be even more blessed." Cuiyun, the top prostitute of the Qinhuai River, is in our county! Take a boat on the next street, and next to the third bridge is the largest 'Lianchun brothel' in Xiamen. ”

"He wouldn't have dared to go to that place without me. I know I'm going to break his dog's leg." Yuelou looked at Cong Shan Dao with a smile.

After settling the bill, they walked to the next street. On the bank of the river there is a row of street lamps and a row of weeping willows. Not iron pillars and incandescent lamps, but carved wooden pillars and lanterns. A few tourists are haggling with the boatmen. They were looking for a calm and strong man.

The shops on the shore are noisy and people come and go. Shops, people, weeping willows, and street lamps form a picture of a happy life.

Yuelou smiled and said, "The scene on the banks of the Qinhuai River must be the same. ”

"Hmm. On the bank of the Qinhuai River, there are also the former residence of Wang Xie, the Jiangnan Gongyuan, and the Confucius Temple. There is also the story of 'Qin Huai Bayan'. ”

"You'll know it." Yuelou walked up to Congshan, slapped his chest lightly and said, "Be careful that I beat you in front of me." ”

After a while, she remembered something and said, "Do you know the Qinhuai River in the sound of oars and lights"?"

"I don't know". Satoshi Hill Road.

"There are two articles in "Qinhuai River in the Sound of Oars and Lights", which were written by Yu Pingbo and Zhu Ziqing." She continued, "It's well written, you really should read it." ”

Satoyama didn't seem to hear her: "I really want to see Paris from the Seine!"

Speaking of Paris, Yuelou thought of the Eiffel Tower that was lifted by a red apricot. She said angrily: "China obviously has the Qinhuai River, but you prefer the Seine, China has the lavender flowers of Ili, but many people prefer the flowers of Provence." ”

"You're weird!"

"Everybody has everybody's preferences. There's nothing wrong with liking a foreign country. ”

"Hmph, isn't there anything wrong with worshipping foreign charms?" Yuelou let go of his arm.

"It's just a preference, why are you talking so much?" Congshan was also a little angry.

"I just can't get used to you guys. ”

Suddenly heard the boatman say: "I don't know about the Qinhuai River, but we also have a few stories here!"

"Legend has it that during the Qing Dynasty, a woman from a poor family in the city had a lover. His husband knelt outside his wife's lover's door with the baby in his arms and waited. It was winter, and the next day the baby and the man froze to death. Within a few days, both the woman and her lover died. People said that her husband had come back and asked for his life." The boatman sighed and pointed to the street he was passing by: "The house is inside. A lot of tourists come in to visit. ”

Yuelou sighed lightly: "The cheating woman deserves retribution, but that man and the baby are too pitiful." ”

The boatman added, "Yes! everybody thinks women deserve to die." ”

Hearing their conversation, Congshan regretted his actions even more. He swore that he would never do anything to be sorry for Yuelou again.

The boat had reached the third bridge. I saw rickshaws and cars parked outside the brothel, and people in and out were even more rubbing shoulders.

Yuelou glanced at Congshan and said, "Why don't you go in and sleep with Cuiyun." ”

Congshan massaged her shoulders and said, "It's enough to have you, other women are like invisible people in my eyes." ”

Yuelou couldn't help but get into his arms, and said softly: "You! You can trick a woman into giving her whole heart to you with a simple word." ”

The boatman coughed lightly and pointed to a hotel on the other side and said, "Have you booked a house? This is the best hotel in the county." ”

This guesthouse has seven floors. There are more than two dozen houses on each floor. The exterior is painted dark yellow and decorated with colored lights. The most striking are the two large fish tanks in front of the door. There were colorful carp swimming inside.

Congshan said: "Why don't we stay in this hotel?"

Yuelou raised her face and said coquettishly: "This place is so close to the brothel, you shouldn't have any bad ideas, right?"

"How dare I?" Congshan laughed, "You are such a violent woman. ”

"If a man can be good to his wife for the rest of his life, how can his wife be willing to be violent?" Yuelou sighed and continued: "But what man can be good to a woman for the rest of his life?"

"Men always like to say that women are changeable. The change of a woman is just a petty character, but the change of a man is to fall in love with a different woman. Even my dad cheated a few times when he was young." Yuelou sighed lightly.

"My dad cheats a lot". Congshan said with pain: "My mother said that if it weren't for me, she would have committed suicide by taking pesticides." ”

"What a pitiful woman." Yuelou unconsciously said such a sentence.

The boat moved on. The lights on both sides gradually faded, but the stars became more and more numerous. The summer breeze blows, and the trees on the shore are like ghosts with waving arms.

Congshan looked up at the brilliant stars, but his mood became lonely.

Yuelou looked into his eyes, stroked his hand and said, "Sad people shouldn't look at the stars. ”

Congshan suddenly moved his gaze to the Moon Tower. His gaze was lonely, but full of tenderness. He suddenly felt that his wife was his best friend in life. Yuelou's gaze was also full of tenderness. She felt that she should spend her life warming his lonely heart.

They were relatively silent, and they didn't know how long it had been.
