Chapter 105: Dream Back to Zhaoli
Sure enough, the fellow of the hotel was right, the real location of Zhaoli Town is indeed terrifyingly remote.
After passing this village and driving over a mountain, the next road becomes an atypical mountain road, although it is also two lanes back and forth, but it is extremely narrow, and the wider cars cannot pass side by side, and most of the places on the side of the road have no guardrails, only a few sharp turns have been repaired for a short time.
Master Lu cheered up and drove steadily, but Ye Qingqing and Ayou both pinched a cold sweat, but although Mr. Ai, who drank a little wine at noon, sat in the passenger seat with the most thrilling vision, he could snort louder than the engine, which greatly eased the tension of others.
Wait until about two mountains, then start to walk down the mountain road, all the way down a river, and turn a corner along the river, only to see the road and gradually widen, the willows and flowers are bright, there is an archway at the end of the road, the archway leads a col, the smoke curls in the col, the low house level, the archway is written: Zhaoli Town.
When this quaint town appeared, Ye Qingqing screamed in his heart.
She grabbed Teacher Ai's backrest and stared at the archway for a long time before muttering, "Ah, I've been here." ”
"Impossible." Teacher Ai was categorical, he also stared at the town, his eyes were far away, "Unless it's in a dream." ”
"That'...... It's in a dream. ”
"This is what Xanadu is talking about." Ayou also watched the car slowly drive into the town from the side, the town is still a bluestone road, which has been polished to a bright and smooth surface, and there are old brick and wood houses on both sides, Hui School, although it is old, but you can vaguely see the white walls and black tiles, and the eaves are warped.
But after a closer look, he changed his words again: "Ah, it's not a paradise anymore." ”
Everyone looked left and right, all laughed, it turned out that there were many broken door panels and columns on both sides and white walls, there were still a lot of slogans, there were ten years of catastrophe, there were family planning, there were rock stars in the seventies and eighties, and some of the albums of some stars a few years ago, and in some places there were even more ancient praises of great people, slogans, posters and paint layers were confused, the traces were mottled, and it was full of a sense of age.
Ayu's meaning is also very clear, it seems that Xanadu has not escaped the washing of the times, and the atmosphere of following the trend is not the same at all.
The main road in the town is narrow, there are few people on the road, and there are mostly old people with leisurely steps.
After the car slowly drove into the town, Ye Qingqing felt more and more that she had really been here, and she even had the courage to start talking nonsense: "I really think I've been here," she said, "There should be a temple inside." ”
Everyone entered the town and passed a clearing, and looked at the side, sure enough, there was a ruined temple, but only the shape of the temple remained, and a plaque was hung next to it, which had become a visitor center.
"Hey, okay," Teacher Ai looked at her with a smile.
"But it's not uncommon for a town to have a temple at the beginning of the town." Ayu also followed Teacher Ai to the north and south, he said that he was not raising the bar, but just laughing, "Come, let's talk about it." ”
Ye Qingqing watched the car pass by the temple that had been converted into a visitor center in a trance, her heart was a little empty, but she was not sure, she tilted her head and thought hard, and found that there was nothing else to say except that there would be a temple here, so she could only murmur: "Why do I think it shouldn't be a visitor center." ”
"That's not it, it must have been a temple before." Everyone laughed.
Ye Qingqing laughed, but she was lowered, and then she didn't speak until she went to the town government.
She just felt inexplicably that although this town was beautiful, it smelled of sadness, which made her feel uncomfortable.
