At seven o'clock in the morning on October 3, 2043, before I got up, Chen Shushan had already gotten up and opened the curtains, looked out and said, "The rain is not falling, and the sky is still gloomy." "It seemed like talking to me, and it seemed like talking to myself. I said, "Wake up Brother Chen." Chen Shushan said: "I just woke up, get up, it's past seven o'clock, let's call the ladies to go have breakfast in a while." I said, "Well, okay." He stretched and shouted, "Ah, get up." ”

Get dressed, get up, and wash. At this time, I heard the sound of the door opening from the next room, and someone walked to the door of our room, knocked on the door and said, "Have you gotten up, it's time to eat?" I heard Liu Yuexiao's voice and said, "It'll be okay right away." Then he walked to the door and opened it. I smiled and said, "Come in." "Liu Yuexiao, walked into our room and looked around the room. He smiled and said, "I slept well last night." I said, "Maybe I'm sleepy, so I lay down in bed and slept until dawn." At this moment, Chen Shushan also finished washing, and Chen Shushan said: "Sister Yue, sit casually." Liu Yuexiao said: "Don't sit down, pack up and let's leave quickly." Chen Shushan said: "It's good right away." ”

Yu Jinling, Wang Xiaoqin, and Tian Xiaorui have finished dressing up, and the three beauties are traveling lightly, each carrying only one handbag. When I went out with Liu Yuexiao and Chen Shushan, I locked the door and traveled lightly. A few people went downstairs while planning how to do today's activities.

Yu Jinling on the first floor said to the waiter: "We went out to play, and we still live here tonight." The little waiter said, "Okay, go slowly." The six of them walked out of the West Wind Thin Horse Hotel, walked fifty meters to the north, and asked for a bowl of lean porridge each in the Red Sun Porridge House, and Yu Jinling asked for two small baskets of meat buns. Tian Xiaorui took two small plates of free pickles from the pickle pot and put them on two small long tables. After the lean porridge is served, two small drawers of meat buns are served on each table. Six people eat at two tables.

After taking a sip of porridge, Liu Yuexiao said: "Ah, you southerners can really eat it, it turns out that porridge can still be eaten like this." Yu Jinling said: "If you want to talk about eating, we Tianfu people will eat more." Not only do we eat, but we also play. Tian Xiaorui said: "It is said on TV that you Tianfu people go to work in the fields one day, and go to the street the next day to catch up for leisure. Chen Shushan said: "What you said is in our local villages, and most of the farmers are like that. "Now the people of the city. Everyone is also busy with work. But we have a lot of nightlife there, and we basically arrange leisure activities in the afternoon and evening. Yu Jinling said: "Today's young people feel sleepy during the day, just because they play too late at night and can't get a good rest. Young people believe in the good night life from ten o'clock in the evening, and it is normal to play until one or two o'clock in the evening. ”

Wang Xiaoqin said: "Do you have a song hall there?" Yu Jinling said: "Song hall, dance hall, mahjong hall, billiard hall...... A lot. Wang Xiaoqin said: "Looking at the weather like today, I can only go to the Phoenix Ancient City on both sides of the Tuojiang River nearby, and I can't see other places." I'll see how about we find a time to sing in the song hall today. When she heard that she was going to sing, Liu Yuexiao said: "It's a good idea to find a song hall to sing at night." Yu Jinling said: "Let's see." ”

Talk and talk. After breakfast, Yu Jinling checked out, and several people came out of the Red Sun Porridge House. Everyone walked south along the street, then west to the bus station.

From the station, it is not far south to Tuojiang Road. The green mountains on both sides of the Tuojiang River contain daisies. There are many ancient castles. Because it was a cloudy day, my vision was restricted, and I was shrouded in smoke and rain as far as the eye could see. The stilted buildings on both sides of the Tuojiang River look ancient and vicissitudes. After hundreds of years of wind and rain, it still stands majestically. Like a weathered old man, telling people the story of what he has experienced. Walking under the stilted building, you can imagine the time when the inland shipping of the Tuojiang River was prosperous. There used to be countless boatmen, soldiers, bandits, corpse chasers, and prostitutes standing on the streets, all of whom lived on the Tuojiang River. Drinking the water of the Tuojiang River, these low-class people rely on the Tuojiang River shipping to maintain their minimum livelihood.

According to the literature, the place of Phoenix, surrounded by 500 Miao villages, has a population of 4,000, but there are 8,000 garrisons, which is a unique phenomenon of the ancient city of Phoenix built since the Manchu Qing Dynasty in order to deal with the Miao people. An ancient phoenix city, I don't know how many joys and sorrows have been staged. Today, six of us college students from Binhe City have joined hands to explore the mystery of the ancient city of Phoenix.

Under the stone arch bridge of the Tuojiang River, there are several stalls renting Miao costumes and taking pictures. One of the videographers came up to us and said, "It's a pity not to leave a photo in Phoenix, I can take pictures here, each photo is only 15 yuan, and the clothes are free for you to wear." Liu Yuexiao said: "Let's take one photo each, and you will get a discount." The cameraman said: "The minimum is ten yuan a piece, and it is up to you to take a photo." Liu Yuexiao said: "Jin Ling, how about we take a photo of each of us." Jin Ling said: "Come to the ancient city of Phoenix once, and leave a photo as a souvenir, it is not in vain, but today the sky is not beautiful." The cameraman said: "It is normal for us to have rainy days, sometimes there is a moon without seeing the sun, you have come well, but it is cloudy, and there is no rainy day." A photo agreement was reached, and the four beauties went to choose Miao costumes. Soon, Liu Yuexiao walked out of the locker room wearing a silver flower crown, a blue red-edged jacket, and a blue red-edged long skirt. As soon as they saw me, they asked, "Continue, do you think I'm good-looking?" ”

I looked up and down a few times and said, "Oh, this is a beautiful girl from the Miao family who ran out of the Miao village." Liu Yuexiao said: "To tell the truth, is it good-looking." I said, "We never lie, it's really good." As she spoke, Tian Xiaorui wore a Miao costume with red as the main color and blue as the color matching. Yu Jinling chose a more traditional color, black-based clothing, and Wang Xiaoqin chose a dark blue Miao costume. The four beauties stood together, each carrying the sides of their long skirts, like colorful butterflies flying in the sky, dancing. The photographer seized the beautiful moment and first snapped a group photo of four people. Then guide the four beauties to the bottom of the arch bridge, with the rainbow bridge as the background of five photos. The photographer said, "You two boys can't take pictures yet." I said, "You can take a picture of the girls." Chen Shushan said: "If I don't take it anymore, I won't either, and the rights of both of us will be left to the beauties." ”

Liu Yuexiao said: "Continue, Xiaorui, let's take another photo." I said, "You two are Miao costumes, and I don't wear our homely clothes very harmoniously, so I don't follow them." If you like it, take a picture with Xiaorui. Tian Xiaorui said: "Sister Laiyue, let's take a group photo." Tian Xiaorui walked to Liu Yuexiao's side, and the two took a photo side by side on the Tuojiang River, leaving an unforgettable moment in their lives.

The six photos were handed over to me at that time, Yu Jinling paid for the photos, and the group walked back to the opposite bank along the stone arch bridge. Walking under the stilted building, I didn't have a special impression, but I felt as if I was on an ancient street. Wang Xiaoqin said: "After drilling the ancient streets and alleys for a long time, and seeing modern handicrafts, I was really fooled." ”

I said: "This is not a mystery, come to the ancient city of Phoenix, in addition to feeling the vicissitudes of history, another feeling is that the landscape of Phoenix is better, and it is not too much to use the mountains and rivers to show the scenery." The last feeling is that the tourists' su zhì still needs to be improved, with such a clear river, how can there be people who are embarrassed to throw garbage into the water. ”

After 3 hours of turning around the ancient city, at 11 o'clock when I saw that it was dark again, Yu Jinling said: "It's going to rain, let's go back quickly." Everyone had no opinions, and walked in the direction of the Zephyr Skinny Horse Hotel. (To be continued......)
