Chapter 119: Guest House
Chen Pengwei seemed to be stunned, the slightly cool little hand swept across his cheeks, familiar and unfamiliar, his heart couldn't help but swing, he swept her up, turned his head and said, "Qingqing, I had a lot of fun today." I haven't had this fun in years. โ
The sound of the rain muffled Chen Pengwei's somewhat strange tone, Shui Lanqing only heard his words, and nodded with a smile behind his back, "I'm also very happy." โ
After thinking about it, he added, "Originally, in the morning, looking at the cloudy day, my feet were still broken, and I felt very bad, but after I came, the plane was also sitting, the camel was riding, the flying car was also driving, and the weather was not hot, thinking about it, it was quite good." โ
"yes, there's a free laborer."
Shui Lanqing tilted the umbrella in front of him, and said with a smile, "Go back and invite you to eat." โ
Chen Pengwei raised his head, "Put the umbrella back, you don't need to hit me, my clothes are waterproof, and you can protect your own back." Invite me to dinner? I don't go out to eat, you can make me a meal. โ
"What do I do? Haven't you eaten it? Besides, I'll do both. โ
Chen Pengwei squinted at her and snorted, "Are you sure you made that meal?" You can do two things, and you can continue to learn. If you learn the same thing in a month, you won't be able to learn twelve dishes in a year. โ
Shui Lanqing smiled on his back and agreed, "Okay, then you have to give me a hand." โ
Chen Pengwei nodded, "Well, no problem." I work as a chef of the future. โ
Shui Lanqing thought about his knife work, and couldn't help but laugh "haha" on his back.
Talking and laughing, she walked back to the car after a while, Shui Lanqing was a little wet except for the hem of her clothes, and everything else was fine. Chen Pengwei's clothes, pants, head and face were wet a lot, and there were towels in the car, so he picked them up and wiped his face. The rain outside had become a curtain of rain.
"Let's wait a while before leaving, it's raining too much."
"Aren't you hungry?"
looked at the watch, it was already a little past, Chen Pengwei didn't mention it, Shui Lanqing didn't think it, "It's a little hungry, you're hungry too, you carried me all morning." โ
Chen Pengwei started the car slowly, "I'll drive slowly, you check the Internet to see what you want to eat, if not, I'll take you to eat Northwest cuisine." โ
"What's your name?"
"It's called the Silk Road."
The windshield wipers brushed quickly, Chen Pengwei turned on the music and heating quietly, and the "whooshing" rain outside the car lined the car was exceptionally quiet.
"Just the Silk Road. I look at the reviews are not bad. But it won't open until 3 p.m. Why don't we go back to the hotel first, you take a shower and change your clothes before you go? โ
Chen Pengwei frowned, "Aren't you hungry?" โ
"It's fine, it's not an hour or two. I don't think it's too far from where we live. โ
Chen Pengwei thought about it and nodded.
After eating, it was almost five o'clock when he returned to the hotel, and Chen Pengwei ordered a pot of Pu'er tea to go back to the room. Shui Lanqing touched her round little belly, resolutely did a set of yoga for her upper body, and lay on the sofa tiredly, watching Chen Pengwei pack her luggage.
After the rain, it turned a little smaller in the middle of the night, but it still rained all night, got up early in the morning, opened the curtains, the sky was dark outside, Shui Lanqing frowned, opened the door, Chen Pengwei was finally zipping his box over there, watching Shui Lanqing open the door, squatting on the ground and smiling at her, "Go wash up, I'll pack up my things last." โ
In the living room, Chen Pengwei turned on the TV, cleaned up while listening to the news, Shui Lanqing washed her face and came out with a makeup bag, and saw Chen Pengwei standing up, watching the news, Shui Lanqing couldn't help but widen her eyes as she looked over with him.
โยทยทยท Is it the bridge we went to Mogao Grottoes the day before yesterday? The news passed in a flash, Shui Lanqing didn't read it all, and asked in surprise.
"Well, it rained so hard last night that it washed away."
"Didn't you say that to go to Mogao Grottoes, that is a necessary bridge?"
"Well, so the way to Mogao Grottoes is cut off for the time being. Qingqing, I'll give Lao Hu a call. โ
"Hmm." Shui Lanqing nodded, watched him enter the house, looked at the news again, slowly put the things in his hand into the box, and packed up his own things outside, sitting on the sofa, his mind was a little empty.
Chen Pengwei came out soon, and Shui Lanqing hurriedly raised her eyes to look at him.
Chen Pengwei looked at her and couldn't help but smile, "It's okay, I asked Lao Hu, and he also received a report, which collapsed in the middle of the night, but fortunately, no one was hurt, and it was enough to rush to repair the project." I don't know the specifics, he's not busy, let's just go normally. โ
Shui Lanqing listened, nodded, and then put the few clothes she had just packed in her hand into the box.
Chen Pengwei looked at her somewhat heavy little face, thought about it, walked over, and pulled her back to sit on the sofa, "Why are you unhappy?" โ
Shui Lanqing was stunned, she didn't expect him to find out this, and shook her head, "I'm not unhappy, I just feel a little sudden, the place I walked through two days ago collapsed, it feels a little strange." โ
Chen Pengwei listened, and wanted to laugh, hey, what a little girl who had nothing to do, "It's best that there are no casualties in this kind of thing." It is better to collapse now than to collapse during the peak season, and natural and man-made disasters are always inevitable. You have to think so, we went a few days ago, otherwise you're really going to cry now, aren't you? Moreover, they don't have to move, but the situation can be controlled, so there is no need to worry. โ
Shui Lanqing rolled her eyes and nodded, "Then what time do we leave?" โ
"It takes five or six hours to drive there, and it's only ten o'clock."
When the two of them set off, it was still raining lightly, but it was much lighter than when they walked back yesterday. Shui Lanqing didn't sleep well last night, she got into the car and fell asleep in a daze, Chen Pengwei turned up the air conditioner higher and drove steadily.
Shui Lanqing slept for nearly three hours, opened her eyes dimly, and vaguely heard Chen Pengwei on the phone.
"I'm in the lower bay... I don't need someone to pick it up, I know the way... I really don't need you to arrange it, I won't tell you before, I've already said hello to the guest house, okay, don't be verbose. See you later. โ
hung up the phone, turned his head and saw that Shui Lanqing had already opened his eyes, looked at him in a daze, and looked at his watch, "You can really sleep." โ
Shui Lanqing scratched her head, she didn't expect that she would be able to sleep for so long all at once, "Where is this?" How much longer? โ
"You don't know what I said, it will take two and a half hours."
"The rain has stopped?"
"It's not going down here, it's cloudy, look at the road."
Shui Lanqing turned her head to look outside, and the ground was really dry.
"Did you just call someone?"
"Woke you up? Lao Hu called, not at ease, he wanted to send someone to pick me up, I said no, to talk about driving, I still believe that the steering wheel is in my own hands. โ
Shui Lanqing nodded, she was more willing to believe in Chen Pengwei's driving skills than anyone else.
"However, this time I went to his place, and the place where I lived may be a bit shabby. There are no good hotels in his place, only military guest houses. He wanted us to stay at his house, but I was afraid that you would feel uncomfortable, so I refused. โ
"Guest house? Well, I haven't lived there yet. โ
"If you are still sleepy, you will sleep again, and tonight he will go to his house to eat." His son goes to boarding high school, and he and his wife are the only two at home. โ
Shui Lanqing nodded, "Don't sleep, do you want to rest, or find a place to stop for a while." โ
"No, that's it, it's there in a while. Arrived early and rested. โ
While the two were talking, the car had already driven on the winding mountain road, because it was driving towards the mountain, so they walked outside, with a cliff on one side and a towering cliff on the other, Shui Lanqing no longer talked to him.
"You can drive this road well. Slow down. โ
"Okay."
From time to time, cars turn off from the opposite side, and occasionally, there are fatal drivers overtaking on the road. Chen Pengwei pressed the speed of 50 all the way and drove steadily.
It took nearly an hour to drive on the winding mountain road before returning to the highway. After getting off the highway, the car entered a small county town. Several large roads horizontally and vertically, the car turned a few corners, drove into a gate, "squeak", Chen Pengwei parked the car directly in the parking lot of the guest house, a very simple three-story building, surrounded on three sides, and a sign was hung in front of the main gate building, "XX Military Division Guest House".
led Shui Lanqing to get out of the car with her luggage. At the simple front desk, a middle-aged woman sat inside, saw someone coming, smiled kindly, and stood up.
"Have you booked a room?"
"It's ordered, Chen Pengwei. Standard room. โ
"Okay, I'll take a look at the papers."
Chen Pengwei took out the document from his pocket and put it on the table, the woman picked it up and looked at it, and looked at the photo with some surprise, "Oops, disrespectful, this is your key, turn left on the second floor, room 217." โ
Chen Pengwei nodded, took back his documents, and led Shui Lanqing upstairs with her luggage.
When I opened the door and entered the house, it was not as simple as Chen Pengwei said, but it was a three-star standard piece, but the quilt on the bed was folded very neatly, and there were no messy things on the table.
"Are all guest houses like this?" Putting down her things, Shui Lanqing stood in front of the window, and she could see many people in military uniforms coming and going in the courtyard outside.
"There are also different grades, the relative conditions of big cities are better, and here they are too remote."
Shui Lanqing nodded, such a small county town, if it is built too brilliantly, it is not very good.
"It's good, just do it quietly."
"Why don't you take a shower first, I'll change the dressing for your feet."
"I'm going to take a shower, but I don't need to change it, I'm feeling better this morning." As he spoke, he spun his ankle in place and took two more steps.
Chen Pengwei thought for a while, "It's okay, or it's not convenient for you to go to someone's house, just come back tonight and change it for you again." โ
Shui Lanqing smiled and nodded, opened the box, took a change of clothes and went to the bathroom first.
