On that day, we had planned to visit a few more places, but after all, the plan was wrong, or we overestimated our physical strength, because we walked around the Forbidden City for an afternoon, and it was already past four o'clock in the afternoon when we walked slowly to the Imperial Garden.

Among them, the most obvious manifestation of exhaustion is Yangmei, her whole body is already in a state of flux, and she has been shouting about foot pain again and again. But when she was close to the Imperial Garden, she suddenly came to her senses. His eyes lit up and he said to us, "There is a Lili cypress in this garden, and I have long wanted to see what it looks like, and see how these two trees are entangled."

She took the lead, and we were left behind, with a large crowd of tourists, and when we looked around, we saw that the garden was especially crowded with tourists.

"Why are there so many people?" Razor muttered.

Jiang Peng carried the empty schoolbag diagonally on one shoulder, fiddling with a comfortable and handsome shape. said: "Of course, the Forbidden City, there are always a lot of tourists who come to visit, besides, this is Beijing, Beijing is not just a lot of people, there are many outsiders, and there are many foreigners." ”

My observation is really very lively, foreigners of different colors and races, and outsiders who speak various local dialects and wear national costumes, all gather in this world, indescribably strange and harmonious.

"Heh, look at the one over there," Jiang Peng pointed not far away and motioned for us to look.

We looked in the direction pointed by Jiang Peng, and found that there was a blonde and blue-eyed foreign beauty who was happily taking a group photo holding an antique design sign, which reads 'Public Toilet'.

We couldn't help but laugh out loud when we saw this.

"This foreigner is really funny," Jiang Peng covered his stomach and was happy.

The foreigner looked at us suspiciously when he saw us smiling, Lei Ze turned his face and smiled: "I guess I thought it was some kind of landmark building."

At this time, Yangmei beckoned us in front: "Come here, take a picture with Lian Libai."

As we walked over, the Lypress, which was wrapped around and snuggled together, suddenly came into view. These two trees are close to each other, but they lean against each other from the middle of the trunk, and the branches on them are even more coiled and intertwined, no matter which angle you look at, it really looks like a pair of lovers snuggling together.

There is a tour guide next to him who is commenting loudly: "In the heavens are willing to be winged birds, in the earth is willing to be Lian Li branches, which is said to be this Lian Li Bai, this tree is carried in the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty, it has a history of 100 years, the two trees are entangled with each other, and it also means that love for a lifetime, forever with each other, if you take a photo with it and pray sincerely, then your love will be like this Lian Li Bai forever, and you want to take a picture of the time to hurry." ”

As soon as the words fell, a pair of young couples and couples rushed to Lian Lipper to take pictures.

But I thought to myself, thinking about how many sea cucumbers and mountains this century-old tree had witnessed, and how many girls had listened to their hearts. It is the old man who has really experienced the prosperity and decline of a dynasty, the old man who is full of vicissitudes, the loneliness and loneliness of those former palace concubines and beauties, and the things that have passed away, it is all a witness. In this way, it stood in place, over the years, erected in such a lingering posture, silently and stubbornly carrying the eternal meaning.

"Go quickly, take a picture of the two of you" I was pushed by Yangmei in front of Lian Libai, who had just burst into new green, because there were people rushing to take pictures on the left and right, so I squeezed together with Lei Ze, and was awkwardly commanded by Yangmei, and hurriedly took a photo.

Then Yang Mei tidied up her hairstyle, raced the camera to my hand and instructed: "I want to grab a good position, you take a good shot, shoot the background of this tree, make me thinner and more beautiful, and shoot that brilliant and beautiful feeling."

I raised the camera and moved back and forth, trying to meet the standards she demanded, and she kept changing her shape, wanting to highlight her own words: "Okay, just one person, and grab a middle position to shoot, it's endless, this even Lipper is originally a couple to get a blessing, you are a single to make a lot of fun, almost it." ”

As he spoke, the man squeezed to Yangmei's side and posed for a photo.

"Who said I was single, my husband is here" Yang Mei vigorously pulled Jiang Peng and squeezed the person aside without a trace.

The man glared at Yangmei and muttered, "What quality are you?"

Razor and I were afraid of getting into trouble, so we hurriedly stepped forward and said with a smile: "Don't mind, finish filming immediately, we'll leave immediately." ”

Unexpectedly, the woman's eyes rolled on the two of us, and she said in a weird way: "Yo, I can't complain that the quality is so low, it turns out that it is from the Northeast and Henan."

As a native of Northeast China, and Lei Ze, as a native of Henan, I feel very inexplicable and unreasonable when I encounter this kind of regional blackness.

I wanted to sneer at each other, but Rezer pulled my sleeve and persuaded in a low voice: "Forget it, more is better than less, don't make yourself unhappy." ”

So he hurriedly took a few photos of Yang Mei and Jiang Peng, and was dragged out of the Forbidden City by Lei Ze, which was the end of the day's trip.

When we went back, we were on the same bus, because it was just in time for the rush hour, we were almost squeezed into cakes on the bus, and it happened to be a traffic jam, the carriage became more and more suffocating, and people were easily irritable. After being blocked for more than 20 minutes, someone finally couldn't stand it anymore, and an old man with an authentic Beijing accent struggled to push away everyone, squeezed to the front door with great difficulty, and shouted to the driver: "Open the door, I want to get off"

The driver frowned and replied: "There are cars on both sides, it's too dangerous, you can't open the door, wait a while." ”

The old man looked very unhappy, looked at the crowded people in the car, and looked at the long queue of vehicles, and asked the driver angrily: "Tell me why it's so blocked?" ”

The driver had a hunch that he would not say anything good, so he did not squint and did not answer.

He didn't care about the driver ignoring him, and said loudly to himself: "Hmph, it's not because these outsiders don't stay in their hometown well, and they all run to Beijing, it's that there are too many outsiders, so the traffic is so congested, we should clear these outsiders out, so that our Beijing city can be clean and bright." ”

It can be seen that most of the people in this car are outsiders, and everyone has an inexplicable expression when they listen to his words, and the old man has not stopped counting all kinds of 'outsiders' all the way, for half an hour, everyone listened passively, during which no one refuted out loud, or no one wanted to see him in general.

And I finally understood one thing at that time.

That is, in Beijing, whether you are from Northeast China, Henan, Shanxi, Inner Mongolia, Fujian or anywhere else, we have only one unified name - "foreigner".
