Chapter 18 Jiangnan Town
Looking at the girl in front of him, Di Yun suddenly remembered Dai Wangshu.
To be exact, I should have remembered the poem I didn't know when I studied - Rain Lane.
A lilac-like, grudgeful girl...... The color of cloves, the fragrance of cloves......
It wasn't raining, the sun was shining, and the girl didn't hold an oil-paper umbrella, but she walked down the long, thin winding alley, where the sun was blocked on both sides, and the shadows cast on the mottled moss. In the small alleys, isolated from the red dust of the market, but not the flavor of the countryside, the sound of the feet stepping on the hollow stone slabs constantly echoes, such as a quiet dusk, deep and silent.
In such a situation, his mind inexplicably appeared in the poignant and confused and hopeful rain alley described by Dai Wangshu, and the girl who walked away silently with an oil-paper umbrella.
"Yikes!" The girl walking in front of her suddenly stopped.
"What's wrong?"
"There's a dog there."
Di Yun stepped forward to take a look, and the corner in front led to another alley, and the back door of a courtyard was opened, and an old yellow dog was lying in the doorway, and a ray of sunlight fell on it through the gap in the female wall upstairs.
When I heard the voice, I lazily opened my eyes and closed them twice.
"What is there to be afraid of dogs." Di Yun said with a smile.
"I'm most afraid of dogs." Zhou Xun shrank back, not daring to move forward.
"Was you picked up by a dog when you were a child?" Di Yun asked jokingly.
"Hmm." Zhou Xun nodded and said, "Once I took a piece of bread, and then a dog always followed me and stared at the bread in my hand, I looked scared, so I threw the bread to it, but it followed after eating, I ran and chased it, until I reached the door of my house before my father ran away." Since then, I have been scared when I see dogs, and I can't change them when I grow up. β
Yes, I was really chased, this is a psychological shadow.
"Why don't we go back and go the other way." Zhou Xun gave a Jianyì.
Di Yun looked back at the deep alley behind her that was more than 200 meters winding and endless, and felt that her idea was a little rancid.
He didn't want to take the wrong path, so he shook his head and said, "It's okay, you just walk on the other side of me, and you can step over in two steps." β
"What if it bites me?"
Di Yun looked at her twice, thinking to himself that this girl looked quiet and persistent and very powerful, how could she be so timid. He pursed his lips and said, "What are you afraid of, if you want to bite, bite me first." β
"And what if it bites you?"
"Kick and fly." As he spoke, he dragged her to his side, away from the old dog, and said, "You close your eyes, don't look at it, don't run, walk slowly." β
I didn't see her move for a long time, and turned my head to look, but the girl took a few steps back and looked at the old yellow dog quietly.
With your posture, the old yellow dog didn't want to deal with you and would treat you as a thief, so he said helplessly: "You can't go, if you don't go, I'll go?" β
"Don't... You... Wait... Wait a minute. The girl stumbled.
"Why is it still like this, are you so scared?"
Zhou Xun felt Di Yun's strange eyes, and said embarrassedly: "As soon as I'm nervous... Just don't talk... Unfavorable cables. β
Well, intermittent stuttering, like Deng Ai during the Three Kingdoms period, with two stones in his mouth is estimated to be cured.
Zhou Xunchang took a breath and finally walked slowly to his side, tiptoeing like a thief. Closing his eyes, he tugged on the corner of his clothes with one hand, and held on to the wall with the other and said, "Go... Let's go. β
Di Yun looked at her hand that was tightly tugging at the corner of her clothes, grinning and walking slowly. He was also a little nervous by this girl, and couldn't help but look at the yellow dog with his eyes closed. As a result, the yellow dog was so comfortable in the sun that he didn't even bother to open his eyes.
Walking far away, Di Yun stopped and said, "Okay, you can open your eyes." β
Zhou Xun opened his eyes, glanced back, and saw that the yellow dog was still lying in place and did not move, patted his chest and said with relief: "I'm scared to death, it's good to have you, if I were alone, I would definitely not dare to live." β
I'm not nervous, and I really talk a lot.
The psychological shadow will accumulate more and more with age, but it is not a terminal disease, and it can still be overcome by thinking about it. Fear of dogs is relatively easy to treat.
Di Yun said: "You raise a puppy, and make sure that you will no longer be afraid when you see a dog in the future." β
"Does it really work?"
"Just try it."
"Okay, I'll get a puppy when I get back." Zhou Xun laughed, adding a bit of brightness to this dark and gloomy alley.
Out of the alley, it instantly became lively, with the sound of selling, shouting and trumpets weaving into a unique tune of Jiangnan Water Town, which formed a sharp contrast with the lonely and empty deep alley.
Outside the alley is a street, flanked by shops with numbers on both sides. If it weren't for the fact that the people on the street were dressed similarly to his own, he would have thought that he was dead again and had returned to that ancient period.
Tongli Town is adjacent to Taihu Lake, with a developed water system, and is known as "Mellow Water Town, Jiangnan in the old days". Water, of course, is the lifeblood here.
There is a river next to the street, and the street and the river go hand in hand, so you can walk or take a boat to go shopping.
"Let's take a boat." Zhou Xun said.
"Okay." Di Yun has not experienced this kind of tune of small bridges and flowing water in the south of the Yangtze River, and he has only heard that Venice is a water city before, but he didn't expect that there are such places in China.
"Ah Gong! This way! Zhou Xun shouted to the captain not far away.
"Come on!" The captain gave a long answer, and then the oar touched the shore lightly, and the boat floated like a leaf, and the speed was not slow.
When the two of them got on the boat, the captain slowly started the boat a little more, and asked with a smile: "Little brother is not a local, right?" β
"Well, just came from the north." In recent years, it has gradually opened up, and there are more tourists, and the captain speaks Mandarin, but he can't wash away the smell of Wu Yuenong. Di Yun could generally understand, and said with a smile, "How does Uncle know?" β
"Hehe, at first glance, you are not a southerner, this face is strong and powerful." The captain stroked the pulp with one hand and gestured with the other.
Is it so obvious? I'm not a national face, okay.
There is indeed a slight difference in the appearance of southerners and northerners, there is no difference between who is good and who is bad, just different.
Most of the northerners have a resolute face, with a heavy loess smell, rough and bold, and they look special. Because of the environment, southerners have smooth and delicate skin, and most of them are handsome, handsome, delicate and affectionate.
The old man pointed to Wu Peng and said, "There is hot water in it, and guests can make a cup of tea if they are thirsty." β
There was a stove in the canopy to put this kettle, but Di Yun didn't touch it, and it was far away.
When I haven't experienced it, I feel that it is novel to take a boat, and I can't sit for a while. The loess has been rooted in the loess for decades, and suddenly it is on the water, and it is very uncomfortable, and I am always worried about whether this rickety boat will suddenly capsize.
Zhou Xun looked at the sky and said, "It's noon, I'll take you to have a meal first." β
Di Yun was indeed a little hungry, but he wanted to go to the crew early, solve this matter first, and settle down before eating, so he shook his head and said, "Forget about eating, let's go to the crew first." β
The girl blinked her eyes and said: "This drama is probably filmed in this place, the director told me to take you around first, feel the humanistic atmosphere here, and bring you back to the crew before the evening." β
Why does making a movie have anything to do with these? However, the director explained that he didn't have anything to say, nodded and said, "Okay then." β
He was not in a hurry to join the crew, so he slowed down his mood, looked at the scenery on both sides, and felt the unique culture and atmosphere of the water town.
There is a lot of water, and there are naturally many bridges, so I saw seven or eight in a short time, and the appearance of each one is different, which is eye-opening.
The captain on the side of the ship drank.
Zhou Xun, who was sitting opposite, was also interested and sang babblingly. Jiangnan's unique softness and glutinousness, with a strange hoarseness. Di Yun couldn't understand what he was singing, but he felt that it was very good, much better than the old man outside.
"Hey, what are you singing about? It's good. β
"Well, it's Kunqu Opera." Zhou Xun paused and replied.
"Kunqu Opera? Oh, the hometown of Kunqu Opera seems to be here, right? Di Yun said uncertainly.
Otherwise, weird people must have weird habits. Di Yun doesn't have much love for songs or anything, but he has heard a lot about opera, Kunqu Opera, and it seems to be one of the top ten famous songs.
"yes." Zhou Xun's eyes lit up and nodded, "Do you know anything about this?" β
She originally graduated from an art school, and she had a lot of contact with this type of national art, and she had a foundation, and when she saw someone who seemed to understand opera, she wanted to communicate.
Di Yun touched his nose and said, "I've just heard of Kunqu Opera, but I haven't studied it, so I can sing Qin Opera." β
"Let's say a few words."
Di Yun snorted, but when he thought of Qin Yan's urine nature that was shouting at the top of his throat, he was afraid of scaring others, so he still didn't hum.
He waved his hand and said, "Forget it." β
The girl looked at him for a while, probably because she didn't feel very familiar with him, so she didn't force it.
ps: I'm signing a contract, so you can read it with confidence, don't worry about it suddenly breaking, and give more support to make those numbers look better.
