Chapter 260: The Town Sleeps Forever
The wind rustled through the trees.
Carrying a bag on my back, I walked through the woods to the first town I reached on this trip: Guanlan.
I kept entering the town, only to find that Guanlan Town was particularly lively at night.
Turning the corner of a stone bridge, the lights are bright in front of you, and the pedestrians on the street are concentrated in this area.
It is the busiest central street in the town.
The boat traveled on the river for most of the day, and with the time spent walking on the road, I couldn't hold it anymore when I smelled the aroma of the roadside stalls.
The baggage contains the mugwort leaf dumplings that I made myself, and since Mr. Mu left, my craftsmanship is far from that of him.
The taste of the dumplings can only be said to be so-so, and after taking it all day, it has already been cold.
On a spring evening, there's nothing more tempting than a bowl of hot soup and a snack.
I weighed my purse, and it didn't contain much money.
During my time in Lost Valley, I didn't have much access to money.
The only ones are still stored in the cabinet by Mr. Mu, and I don't know if they were prepared for me.
Scanning the street, I picked a clean-looking food stall and sat down.
The old lady came over and greeted me warmly.
I asked for a bowl of wontons with meat and bone broth and sat there and ate it in a big gulp.
Soon there were some people gathered around, all of whom were attracted by the fragrant ravioli.
I ate the ravioli with my head down, but my ears listened intently to the chatter of the people around me.
They discussed the recent situation between the DPRK and China.
After hearing that the four princes were determined to be the heirs to the throne, they sent troops one after another to recover the lost territory.
I listened to the voices in my ears with great interest, full of curiosity about the four princes they had repeatedly mentioned.
The four princes are far-sighted, the four princes are slightly long, the four princes are handsome, and the four princes are the four princes
I thought back to their constant praise in my ears, and I felt that these four princes were mortals, and they were about to reach the gods!
I was also curious about the capital they were talking about, and it sounded like a very different place from here.
The soup was delicious, and I ate a few wontons one after another, and my stomach was not so hungry. Slow down the pace of eating.
At one end of the long street, a young man in an ochre robe sat at the stall next door with a companion carrying a small jar of wine.
As soon as he sat down, the proprietress came to greet him and ordered a few stir-fried side dishes.
My eyes fell on the jar of wine he had placed on the table, which attracted me more than the qiē around me.
In the Lost Valley, I often see Mr. Mu drinking alone, and he drinks rice wine made by the mountain people themselves.
But now on the table next door is genuine wine, which is sold in a restaurant. It's the first time I've seen it.
Stir-fry the dish up. The young man in ochre reached out and lifted the seal of the jar. The crisp aroma of sake wafts in the wind.
I took a deep breath and admired it in my heart, but I didn't know how much it was worth and where it came from.
I want to ask him. But I'm a girl, and I'm not too embarrassed to ask a stranger.
I pondered for a while and searched down the long street, and I noticed that the direction he came from was northeast, and there would be a restaurant there.
I didn't expect God to understand my thoughts, and a man at the next table smelled the aroma of wine, so he asked him, "You bought this wine from Li Kee Restaurant?" ”
The young man in ochre nodded.
Li Ji, I raised my head and glanced along the street in the northeast direction, and I couldn't help but feel a move in my heart.
Settled the bill in a hurry. I followed the crowd of people in a northeast direction.
Within a few dozen meters, you will arrive at what they call Li Kee Restaurant, which is a three-story small building, with a private seat at the top, and a lobby and a counter selling bottled wine at the bottom.
There were also a few people in line in front of him, waiting to buy his wine. I stood at the end of the line, patiently waiting.
Seeing that I was about to get on my wheel, a tall young man suddenly passed by the street, he reached out and held the wine bottle on the counter one step ahead of me, and said to the guy in the restaurant: "I want this wine." ”
His voice was calm and beautiful, and the words he said were very unpleasant!
I have lived in the mountains for a long time and have not entered the WTO, but I didn't expect the people on this street to become so shameless, and they cut the queue in front of me.
I shook my head helplessly, not wanting to be like this man.
Unexpectedly, the young man in the restaurant looked at him stunned for a moment, but said with an embarrassed face: "This guest, this wine is the last bottle of today." ”
"The girl in front of you has been queuing for a long time, so I shouldn't have sold it to you."
The young man sticks to his principles, and he should be praised.
The young man smiled: "It turned out that I needed to queue up to buy it, but I didn't see anyone, I'm sorry." ”
Hearing this, I tried to stand up straight, walked around to him from behind him, and said dissatisfiedly: "Hey, it's okay if you cut the line, it's not right to talk nonsense with your eyes open, am I not human?" "I'm such a big living person standing here, you actually said you didn't see anyone!"
"I don't have any eyesight."
As I spoke, I raised my head angrily and looked at him with wide eyes, but I wanted to see who was sacred.
He turned his face to look at me.
The moment the eyes met, I was stunned!
I walked down the long street with the bottle in my hand, and I saw a pavilion by the stone bridge, and I walked straight over without thinking about it.
Leaning against the railing, I sat down and looked at the sparkling water.
I lowered my head and opened the bottle, the aroma of wine wafted in the night breeze, and I took a breath as before, but did not drink the wine in the bottle.
For a moment, my mind went blank, and my heart was empty, and I looked at the pedestrians on the other side of the river with confused eyes.
The sound of a bridge interrupted my thoughts.
Look closely, it's that person!
It's the guy I saw in line at the door of the restaurant just now.
It's really a place where you don't meet in life!
At this moment, he was followed by a graceful figure pulling and pulling with him.
I frowned, trying to hear their conversation clearly.
It's not that I'm gossiping, it's mainly that the appearance of these two people is too eye-catching, and the position standing is still directly opposite me, and it's hard for me to see it if I don't want to.
"Aning, how long are you going to stay here?" The woman asked aggrievedly by pulling his sleeve.
"If you want to find a way, it's easier to let the officials stationed here inquire than this."
Looking at her pear blossoms with rain, I saw the pitiful look, and I sighed.
The body called A-Ning moved, looked at her unhappily and said, "Even if this is not Yingtian, you shouldn't call out these two words." ”
The woman lowered her head resignedly, bit her lip and said, "It's here, in a small town that no one knows, that I dare to call you that, A-Ning." ”
"How many times have I said that, remember not to call me that outside," the man's tone softened a little, and he pulled her arm away, "You remember." ”
The man thought for a while, looked at her and said, "I'll go out for a walk at night, breathe, don't follow me all the time." ”
"I'll go back in an hour, you go first, and let the coachman take you back to the house."
The woman reluctantly walked down the steps of the stone bridge, and I could see a carriage hidden in the light under the willow trees on the opposite bank.
Even though the distance was not short, I could clearly see that it was a lavishly decorated carriage.
It seems that those two people are either rich or expensive.
After watching such a play in the spring night, I have an intuition that the girl is intentionally tight to him, but the other party is obviously just general, this is a shaved head and a hot head, I don't know if the girl will be tragic.
Well, it's probably a tragedy!
Life is always less comedy and more tragedy, isn't it?
I really want to persuade her: Why is this difficult, calm down, accept the reality.
The long and slender figure descended the steps of the stone bridge, walked past the pavilion where I was staying, and saw that it was about to pass, but he suddenly stopped, turned around in a flash, and walked along a gravel path by the pavilion.
"This girl," he said, standing outside the pavilion and looking at me with a burning smile in his eyes, "is the play over?" ”
I should be shocked by the reasoning, but I was shocked by his beauty at the door of the restaurant just now, and now I am not so distracted.
I waved my hand and said nonchalantly: "Crazy men and women, what's so good." “
He was stunned for a moment, and instantly laughed, the laughter echoed in the night, and after a while, he stopped laughing, his fair face flushed with laughter, and a pair of bright eyes looked at me and said, "I forgot to ask you just now." "What's your name?"
He stood beside me, a little from a distance, and watched with me at the lights on the other side of the river.
I didn't answer, I lowered my head and picked up the bottle and raised it to my lips, the wine ran down the bottle, and I only opened my mouth and took a few sips.
When it was done, I smacked my lips and tasted it, and I wiped the wine from my mouth and stuffed the cork back in.
He looked at me with a smile and said, "You snatched my wine, but only took a small sip, isn't this a tyrannical thing?" “
I sighed, looked him from head to toe, shook my head and didn't speak.
He was puzzled by my gaze and smiled, "What do you mean by this?" ”
I was silent for a while, and then muttered in a low voice, "I look good, but my brain is not very bright." ”
I glanced at him and said, "I have already reasoned with you at the door of the store, and I forgot about it after such a short while?" "What do you think about other people's wine?"
"I bought this wine, it was all up to me to like it, I could drink as much as I wanted, and I poured it when I wanted to."
With that, I raised my hand and threw the bottle in the direction of the river.
A white line crossed the air, and he jumped up, caught my bottle with his eyes, landed steadily, and looked at me with a smile. "Whatever, take it if you like." I waved at him and said, "I don't want it anyway, and besides, I have to go, it's already so late at night." “
