Chapter Twenty-Nine: One Night in the Imperial Capital
Wake up.
Chen Feng's mental state was much better, he glanced at the time, and it was already evening.
The sunset on the horizon was fading, and the room was a little dark.
Turning on the light, Chen Feng found himself lying on the bed in a "big" shape, with his clothes and everything not taken off, but there was a thin quilt on his body for no reason.
There was no one around.
He got up from the bed, squinted, looked around, and walked to the table.
There was a note there, and if nothing else, it was supposed to have been left for him by the crepe boy.
"Friends from Jiangcheng, I'm going to see the scenery of the imperial capital alone, I guess I'll come back very late, I didn't wake you up when I saw that you slept too deeply, I put the room card on the table, oh yes, this lunch next to it is for you, and it can be regarded as my apology, I can't stop talking about reasoning, so, I'm sorry I didn't pay too much attention to your situation."
Chen Feng put the note back on the table, his eyes resting on the white lunch box, and showed a shallow smile.
"This guy is really funny."
In this unfamiliar place, and a high school student, he dares to go out for a stroll like this, and he really has a big heart.
Of course, the food in the lunch box is already cold at the moment, but it is summer now, and it is not that cold rice and cold dishes cannot be eaten, Chen Feng wolfed down the hunger in his stomach, put the room card in his pocket, pushed open the door and walked out.
The imperial capital, this is not a stranger to Chen Feng, in his previous life, he was also a member of the Beipiao clan for a period of time.
Walking on the main road, probably because of habit, Chen Feng inadvertently came to a street that he often went to in his previous life.
It's still buzzing with people, and it's hot.
Time had passed, and he had returned to his hometown, which gave him a slight sense of confusion.
Take a deep breath and take another look, and it's not the same after all.
He walked casually along the surging crowd, stopping occasionally and looking around with a smile on his face, which was one of the things he used to do.
At that time, he was still a street writer, living alone in the basement, living a very poor and difficult life, whenever his heart was depressed, he would choose to walk alone in the crowd, let those all kinds of people walk by, fantasizing about their respective lives.
In one thought, all beings are in various states; That's probably his only entertainment.
"Boss, how much does this item cost?" As he walked, Chen Feng stopped in front of a stall, reached out and picked up one of the wood carvings, and asked.
"Two hundred." Sitting on the small wooden bench was an old woman with her eyes narrowed slightly and two fingers stretched out.
"Two hundred? Grandma, this is too expensive," Chen Feng exclaimed, leaning forward the piece of wood carving with a red thread, and said: "This color is not a good material at first glance, but I really like this hand carving to buy it, so it's cheaper." ”
"You kid, you have a good mouth." The old grandmother laughed and said, "I don't think you look like a person who is short of money, since this thing is in your eyes, why bother?" ”
"That's not right," Chen Feng shook his head, put the wood carving in his hand back in place, and looked like he was about to leave.
But after a long time, but he didn't see any behavior of the old grandmother, Chen Feng muttered in his heart for a while, but he couldn't help asking: "Grandma, do you really not give a bargain?" ”
The old woman smiled and shook her head.
Chen Feng made a helpless expression, took the wood carving back in his hand, took out two hundred yuan from his pocket, and handed it to the old grandmother: "Okay, I bought the things." ”
The old grandmother looked at the boy in front of her with a puzzled, speechless expression, stuffed the money into her pocket, and said: "Wife, I have been setting up a stall in this realm for decades, and I can tell at a glance who really wants to buy and who really bargains; You kid wants to buy is real, but the bargaining is fake, I can see that you don't care about the price of this wood carving at all, just like it, and those who have money and no land to spend are a little similar. ”
"......" Chen Feng was full of black lines.
"However, the gentlemen will not bargain, you are much better than them, and you have done a good job in terms of face." The old grandmother added a plausible compliment, and then said.
"If you weren't too young, I couldn't help but think that you were a person who had returned to his hometown and came here to relive the past."
This sentence made the smile on Chen Feng's face stagnate, he lowered his head, looked at the wood carving in his hand, and fell into deep thought.
Grandma's words were naturally just a joke, but what she said was the same as Chen Feng's current situation.
The current Chen Feng, although he is only eighteen years old, has a bright future, and the future is full of infinite possibilities, far from being comparable to the one in his previous life.
Although it is not a return to the hometown, it is indeed a high attitude to recall the past.
But in the same way, now he is no longer the guy in his previous life who cared about life and worked hard for fame and fortune, many things......
After a long while, Chen Feng came to his senses, he tied the red thread tied to the wood carving around his neck, and Shi Shiran left.
Buying such a wood carving is more of a symbolic meaning, just like a person who goes out to travel, he should always bring back some souvenirs, Chen Feng himself is not very interested in these small utensils, the reason why he tied them around his neck is also to make his grandmother feel that she bought it because she liked it.
Such a small act of kindness, he is happy to do.
Of course, Chen Feng is very suspicious that such a grandmother with "fiery eyes" may have already seen through her own thoughts.
After wandering around for a while, when the people on the street were sparsely populated, Chen Feng began to walk back with a bag.
The bag was full of food, bean juice, fried liver, radish cakes and other snacks.
He himself has eaten a lot, these are all brought to the crepe boy, since others will think about him, he naturally has to show something.
In fact, this trip, if it weren't for Chen Feng's worry that he would fall asleep early as usual and would not be able to open the door for the boy, I am afraid that it would not have happened.
Back at the hotel, the room was still empty.
Chen Feng sat quietly by the window, looking down from a height, scattered lights, dotted in the dark night.
It's less than the emperor in my memory, and it's more beautiful.
He curled up on the couch, turned on the TV, and waited for the boy to return.
There's a TV show on TV, and to be precise, the term "stage play" is more appropriate.
However, it was to kill time anyway, and he didn't ask for much.
Perhaps due to the disconnection of the times, except for literature and singing, the two mainstream cultures that the government fully supports, the world is really backward in some other aspects.
There are no exciting movies and TV series, no exciting online games, and even those scandals and gossip industries are in the bud...... Fortunately, Chen Feng is not the kind of person who can't live without electronic products, otherwise, he will definitely feel that he has nothing to love.
The clock ticked to twelve o'clock, and the night was already very deep.
Even if Chen Feng slept during the day, he was still a little unbearable, and several "TV series" that he didn't dare to be interested in at all had been played on the TV.
He turned off the TV, his eyes narrowed slightly, and waited.
