Chapter 268: The Old Days
On the second day of the long vacation, I drove Li Xin's golf around, and finally bought all the necessities before dark, and when the tasks on the list of dimples were completed, it was already ten o'clock at night.
The next morning, the tour group came in at a rapid pace, completely beyond my imagination.
In the first wave of customers, I communicated with Lao Liu's friend, so I was very clear about the number of people and the time of arrival, and I received it smoothly and checked in in an orderly manner. But the second wave of customers came in too suddenly, and it tossed me and Dimple around.
The second wave of recent customers is ten travelers from the Tianya community who have crossed the Qinling Mountains on foot, and these people actually mentioned this matter to me in the forum a long time ago, saying that if they come, they will buy in advance and let me reserve a room during the eleventh day.
It's been a long time since this happened, and I thought I was busy and didn't go to the forum recently, so I naturally couldn't contact them in time, so I was in a hurry at the moment.
After the tour group moved in, there were only five standard double rooms left. Therefore, for the customers on the side of the Tianya community, I tried my best to arrange only five people, and the remaining five people had nowhere to go but to find teammates to share the bed.
It was my own negligence that happened, and I didn't excuse myself, but made an appointment with the god of the end of the world and went to Lao Deng's farmhouse for dinner.
Because Lao Deng had just discussed cooperation with me last time, he saw me bring more than a dozen people over at noon today, and the old couple couldn't close their mouths with a smile, saying that they would definitely pick the fattest duck to greet us.
Although I am not a big V on the Internet, I still have some influence, and even though I rarely participate in the offline activities organized by the website, I will participate in discussions and offer suggestions every time. Tianya netizens are all professional players, and they have a deep understanding of outdoor survival, and I am just a good person, but in fact, things like crossing the Qinling Mountains have not been practiced.
Maybe one day I will stay at the foot of the mountain for a long time, and I will think about crossing the Qinling Mountains to take a look, but I can't go to death at will.
So, when I eat, I ask professionals for advice from time to time. They thanked me for my hospitality from time to time, and naturally answered my questions.
In fact, if you want to eat authentic farmhouse game at the foot of Qinling Mountain, Lao Deng is really good here. The travelers will rest all night at the Qinling Post Station today, and they will plunge into the bottomless Zhongnan Mountain early tomorrow morning. It's a rainy season, and hopefully the weather will be fine in the coming days.
After they were full of wine and food, they went back to rest, Chen Jing's café was full of people, if Li Xin hadn't gone back for the past two days, Chen Jing and her partner wouldn't have to be busy.
Sleeping at night, because the post station was full, the little dimple was busy until late at night, and I couldn't open my sleepy eyes when I saw Li Xin, so I could only let her go back to the dormitory with the little dimple to rest.
Li Xin wanted to stay with me, but was forcibly persuaded by me to leave. These days, Li Xin helps me and Chen Jing on the one hand, and on the other hand, she has to think about her own hot pot restaurant, so being tired is certain, I only blame myself for not having time to help her.
She has seen too many hot pot restaurants in Xi'an, and she has also personally visited Chengdu, coupled with constant observation and long-term preparation, I think Li Xin is more fully prepared to do this than I am to open an inn.
Silently set a goal for myself in my heart, after the eleventh Golden Week passes, after the inn can free my hands, I will deal with the affairs of the Golden Emperor, and I must help Li Xin Zhang Luo hot pot restaurant.
After all, I also have a deep understanding of hot pot, so I think that if Lotto can successfully get involved in catering, then it will not be long before there will be special dishes launched near every inn in Lotto.
Maybe in the near future, Lotto hot pot will appear in a casual retrospective.
I was on duty at the help desk all night, and I finally had nothing to do in the middle of the night, and I logged in to the game account that I hadn't played for a long time, and those friends hadn't been online for a long time.
In the deserted canyon, I frantically brandished my twin knives, slashing and killing small animals that had no grievances against me. In the time and space after the army forgot me, I was alone, a lonely knife, in the beautiful afterglow of the sunset, drawing a knife and waving a knife, back and forth, happily cutting for a whole night.
Gone are the days when the brothers spent time together in smoky Internet cafes and teamed up to kill all night. Good friends have their own worlds, I listened to the Erguna Band's "Old Times", lonely waiting for the dawn.
At dawn, it was still dark. The travelers of Tianya came down one after another to check out, and they quietly gathered in the open space outside, waiting until their teammates arrived. After the leader finished speaking, they waved goodbye to me and disappeared into the morning light.
Watching them leave, I don't know when I will be able to let go of these ** that can never be stopped in the world, and go over the mountains and rivers that have never been able to be reached in my life.
What is the true meaning of life?
I don't know, if I live in this city, will I be with Li Xin forever, and then give birth to a beautiful child, and pick up my parents to live in Xi'an, even if it is my dream life?
This kind of originally peaceful life is indeed the dream of many people. But as it got closer and closer to me, I was terrified in the depths of my heart.
I'm still young, should I really live like this?
A new question arose before me, and I was struggling with how to live in the city. But at this moment, when I saw the people who had gone on the road with their dreams disappearing into the morning light, I felt an impulse in my heart for no reason.
This inexplicable thing tells me that I must be strong and overcome the self I was born in peace, find the self I have not yet met, and cross the threshold that I have never been able to cross.
All morning, I looked at the Zhongnan Mountain not far away. Li Xin had obviously noticed that I was not in the right mood, so he smiled very cleverly and asked me if I was homesick.
I told Li Xin what I had been thinking about all morning, thinking that she would tell me to be "content and happy". However, Li Xin didn't make any comments, just looked at the mountains in the distance with deep eyes.
Actually, Li Xin and I have the same thoughts.
After this time, before the heavy snow closed the mountain, he signed up with Li Xin to cross the Qinling Mountains.
We all need to find our truest selves, and we all need to know what we want most in life.
Otherwise, even if we live in this city and live with Li Xin, we will still have a lot of things that we can't let go. When the mountains are covered with snow and ice, we will be barefoot, but we still can't find our true selves.
It was nearly ten o'clock when the members of the tour group came downstairs lazily, sleepy-eyed and looked exhausted.
This year, there are especially many people who go out to travel during the November Golden Week, the attractions are full, the highways are congested, and the tourists are even more physically and mentally exhausted. So I understand why they still look like this after a night's rest.
After seeing off the team, Li Xin and I chatted about the latest movie near the service desk.
When it was almost noon, a woman with unusually delicate makeup came in at the door, she twisted the waist of the water snake, and shouted to see the person in charge of the post station.
Seeing her blood-colored red lips and slender hatred of the sky, I chuckled in my heart, this girl is menacing, isn't she going to ask me to go to bed and compare?
