Some people say that life is like a journey, and Qin Xiaotian feels that this is indeed the case. Life is like a long and short journey, you will meet different people on each journey, some people are just a hurried passer-by in your life, some people can accompany you through a journey, and some people may be on the same journey as you, you know that there are each other, but not necessarily always on the same road; Few people can accompany you to the end of your life's journey. Who will show up on a part of your journey and go all the way? Some people may meet sooner, others may meet later, but as long as you happen to meet someone who can accompany you for the rest of the journey, you should be glad that this is a rare thing. Some people can only go on the same road, some people will go their separate ways at a certain intersection, and some people will never cross paths on parallel roads, she doesn't know if Yuan Dutian will be the one who can accompany her through the future journey.

Qin Xiaotian loves to travel everywhere, but he has never thought deeply about what the meaning of travel is. For her, travel is a way to relax, learn, grow, and self-cultivate, and if she travels with her lover, it will probably become a touchstone, and you can roughly judge whether the two parties are in tune. At least so far, she thinks she and Yuan Dutian are still quite compatible, because Yuan Dutian didn't let her work too hard along the way. Watching Yuan Dutian carry a bag and a box in front of her climbing the narrow and steep wooden ladder, her heart was full of happiness.

Yuan Dutian opened the door with a copper key in his hand, pushed the box in, turned his head and said to Qin Xiaotian behind him: "There is a smell in the house, open the door for ventilation first, don't close the door when you come in." Qin Xiaotian nodded and followed him into the room.

The room was quite spacious and furnished with quaint ethnic characteristics, and Yuan Dutian walked to the window and pushed open the old-fashioned window with wooden frames, allowing the air to convection, blowing away the musty smell of the long-sealed dust in the house.

Taking advantage of Yuan Dutian's opening of the window, Qin Xiaotian carefully inspected the room. Two beds of about 1.2 meters, the sheets and quilt covers are no different from the general hotel, the bedside table is a burgundy wooden cabinet, and each bedside table is placed with a national handicraft, which is quite distinctive. The long table under the TV is a quaint brown wooden table, the four corners under the table are carved, the table top is covered with a layer of blue background white flower batik cloth, and the table is placed with an antique vase, and a bouquet of colorful plum is inserted in the bottle, which is very eye-catching. The inn also offers a plate of different flavors of plums and an essential oil aromatherapy lamp. There is a bull's head hanging on the wall above the TV, I don't know if it's real or not. There are two long ethnic batiks hanging on the wall by the window, the lamps above the head are also very quaint, and there are several lanterns with round folded skins of different lengths hanging from the ceiling, which is very innovative. The bathroom is not big, the cleaning is quite clean, the sink is a copper basin, the faucet is also a copper antique faucet with a sense of age, and the frame of the mask is also a copper lace inlay, which is very textured. The terrace outside the room was full of camellias, moon seasons and other colorful flowers, and there were several wooden tables and chairs, on which tea sets were placed, Qin Xiaotian liked the style of this inn very much. The courtyard downstairs is a patio, the yard is planted with pomegranate, pear and peach trees, surrounded by flower pots, under the parasol there are comfortable wooden tables and chairs, as well as hammocks and hanging chairs, you can sit and lie down in the sun, read books, drink tea, how comfortable.

Yuan Dutian saw Qin Xiaotian looking and looking on the left, so he asked, "What?" Do you like it? ”

Qin Xiaotian couldn't hide the joy in his heart, and nodded desperately, "I like it, I like it so much!" How did you find this? ”

"I looked at the reviews on the Internet and found it, and I thought it was pretty good, so I called to book it." Yuan Dutian was also quite satisfied with his vision.

"But why did you book a room?" Qin Xiaotian's question hit the nail on the head, she had asked him to book two rooms before, but he said that the inn room was tight, and it was enough to book a standard room, and it could save money, although she had raised objections, but the actual situation was that the protest was invalid.

"It's affordable! What are you worried about? Are you worried that I will insult you? Isn't there two beds? Yuan Dutian deliberately pretended to be a tiger and pounced on Qin Xiaotian like a tiger, Qin Xiaotian clasped his hands on his shoulders in a defensive manner, and instinctively took two steps back.

Yuan Dutian was amused by her frightened expression, and he couldn't help laughing: "Teasing you, do you think I will really pounce on you?" Stop dreaming! "He, Yuan Dutian, is also principled and has a bottom line.

"Yuan Dutian, what do you mean? Are you saying I'm not attractive to you? Although Qin Xiaotian didn't want to be really knocked down, the meaning of Yuan Dutian's words was too contemptuous.

"Do you want me to pounce on you?" Yuan Dutian has something to say, and he wants to lead people into the pit.

Qin Xiaotian didn't want to be fooled, and said confidently: "Of course not!" "I was a little nervous.

"Don't worry, little sister, our well water doesn't interfere with the river water, and we all sleep our own." Yuan touched her hair, as if to comfort her, but also to tell her that he would not do anything to her. Qin Xiaotian's hanging heart fell.

"Let's take a break and go out for a walk around the ancient city?" Yuan Dutian proposed.

"Okay!" Qin Xiaotian was looking at the vase on the table, and by the way, he picked up an Erhai plum and put it in his mouth. "Do you want to eat one, it's sweet and sour, it's very appetizing." She raised the words in her hand.

"Okay, you feed me." Yuan Dutian leaned on the recliner by the window and hooked his fingers at Qin Xiaotian.

Qin Xiaotian scolded him shamelessly in his heart, but at the same time, he happily came to Yuan Dutian with a word and stuffed one into his mouth, Yuan Dutian closed his eyes with satisfaction, and stretched out his hand to take Qin Xiaotian into his arms. "Hey, the door is open!" Qin Xiaotian sat on Yuan Dutian's lap, half leaning on his chest, and slapped him twice.

"What are you afraid of, no one knows us anyway, besides, is it wrong to hug your girlfriend?" Qin Xiaotian sometimes really feels that he doesn't know the person in front of him, is this the legendary associate professor who is serious, does not smile, and only loves sports and study? Maybe at some point it will become a vice-called beast.

"Alas, I'm really convinced of you, you look like a serious associate professor! You're like a little kid who only opens his mouth to feed his needs. Qin Xiaotian shook her head, she couldn't do anything about him, who told her to poison him herself.

"Ahh As soon as Yuan Dutian heard Qin Xiaotian say that he was like a child who opened his mouth to ask for something, he obediently opened his mouth and squeezed his eyes twice at the words in Qin Xiaotian's hand, meaning that he would still eat.

"I haven't met this need yet!" Yuan Dutian is really unbearable.

Qin Xiaotian had no choice but to stuff another word plum into his mouth, he smiled proudly, and touched Qin Xiaotian's head with his hand again.

"I'll wash my face and get ready to go out, otherwise it's boring to stay in the house all the time." Qin Xiaotian got up and walked towards the bathroom.

After getting ready, Yuan Dutian led Qin Xiaotian down the creaking wooden staircase. In the courtyard, there were three or four people sitting around the wooden table drinking tea and chatting, some lying in the hammock reading a book, and another beautiful woman sitting in the hanging chair lazily holding a cat. The whole courtyard seems to be very quiet and harmonious, and it looks like it is complacent. When he went out, the male owner of the inn asked politely, "Do you want to go out?" Where are you going? ”

Qin Xiaotian replied politely: "We plan to go to the ancient city for a walk." ”

"Oh, that's good, you can have dinner in the old city, and then look at the night view, there are many different styles of bars in the foreigner street, you can go in and sit if you like." Warm introduction from the innkeeper.

"Boss, I want to ask, are there any local specialties in the ancient city?"

"There are a lot of food, there is a cold chicken rice noodle in the ancient city is very famous, our locals also love to eat, there are also snacks such as roast milk fans, bait, etc., if you eat a meal, casserole fish, sea fish, sea vegetable taro, papaya chicken...... A lot of them, you can taste them. As soon as the landlady heard the introduction, she gushed and wanted to cover all the food in the ancient city.

"So much, let's turn around slowly, thank you!" Qin Xiaotian likes these two warm and thoughtful bosses.

The ancient city is bustling, and it seems that there are many people who come out to travel during the summer vacation. The antique and Bai buildings on both sides of the stone road are connected, basically all of them are private houses or shops, there is a stream flowing on the side of the road, and there are many people who stop and linger in front of many ethnic handicrafts and specialty shops, which is very lively. The streets are full of pedestrians wearing Bai costumes or other ethnic minority costumes, and Qin Xiaotian feels that these costumes are both distinctive and beautiful, and he can't help but sigh: It would be great if the Han costumes were passed down. "You see, ethnic minorities still often wear national costumes, we Han people don't know what Hanfu is now, and the clothes that have been worn for thousands of years are discarded like this, it's a pity, I think Hanfu is very beautiful! Han people should be encouraged to wear Han costumes on traditional festivals. In countries like Japan, South Korea, Thailand, etc., people's national costumes are still well preserved, but our Han nationality does not have a unified national costume, and the Han culture is not completely inherited! I didn't expect that the national costumes worn by passers-by could make Qin Xiaotian sigh so much at once, and Yuan Dutian looked sideways.

"Uh...... If you really wear Hanfu, you will feel troublesome, it is not easy to walk, and it is too disobedient to wear a curved skirt and skirt like you. "Yuan Dutian doesn't want to wear such troublesome clothes with three layers inside and three layers outside.

"Who said that, you look at the beauties in those costume dramas, how beautiful they are in Hanfu, if you really wear it, it will naturally come out, even if it is me, I am afraid that the voice is gentle, and the movements are more elegant." Qin Xiaotian didn't think that she would have a sense of disobedience when she wore Hanfu.

"Okay, if we get married in the future, we will wear Hanfu to get married, does this satisfy your wish to wear Hanfu?" Yuan Dutian tilted his head and joked with a smile.

"Why do you have to get married to wear it?" As soon as the words came out, Qin Xiaotian paused for a moment, get married? Yuan Dutian said the word marriage just now, right? She had never thought about it yet. "You just said you got married?" Qin Xiaotian thought that he had misheard and wanted to confirm it.

"Yes, many people now choose a traditional wedding when they get married, if you like it, you can do it!" Yuan Dutian did not deny it at all.

"That's when it comes to getting married?" Qin Xiaotian felt that happiness came too suddenly.

"If the two have been together, isn't it natural to get married?" Yuan Dutian knocked her on the head.

"You mean, you're willing to marry me?" Qin Xiaotian was still a little incredulous.

"Why not? Don't you want to marry me? Yuan Dutian asked Qin Xiaotian rhetorically, but stopped Qin Xiaotian. "Not really, it's just a bit early to say that it feels like this." ”

"Early? It's not early, time flies quickly, especially in love, and it flies by. After saying that, Yuan Dutian laughed to himself, completely ignoring Qin Xiaotian's appearance of wanting to get to the bottom of it.

"This thing looks good, let's go in and have a look!" Qin Xiaotian's eyes were attracted by the novelty, and he didn't want to delve into the topic of marriage anymore, so he pulled Yuan Dutian into a very distinctive national jewelry store.

"How's this?" Qin Xiaotian pointed to a pair of ethnic style pendant earrings hanging on the wall. Qin Xiaotian took off an earring, Yuan Dutian leaned over to take a closer look, the pendant was a blue-green stone, surrounded by a circle of silver inlaid and carved patterns, but it was simple and special. Yuan Dutian nodded, with an appreciative look.

The shopkeeper also came over at this time, saw the earrings on Qin Xiaotian's hand, and praised: "Wow, this young lady has a good eye, such a blue-green cat's eye is rare, although there are some impurities in the stone, it is not too transparent, but the quality is good." ”

"Huh? Is it opal? Qin Xiaotian picked up the earrings and took a closer look, there was a ray of light in the middle, and when it turned back and forth, the light in the middle would change accordingly, and a golden light would shine.

Yuan Dutian didn't know much about these things, so he asked the shopkeeper directly: "Then how much is this?" ”

"This pair is 560 yuan." The shopkeeper gives the answer.

When Qin Xiaotian heard this number, he looked at the earrings in his hand and said in surprise: "Huh? So expensive, don't do it. With that, he was ready to put the earrings back in their place. Yuan Dutian took off the earrings again and asked the store owner, "Can this be discounted?" ”

The shopkeeper squinted his eyes for fear of losing the business, and said with a smile: "Our family's things can be discounted for the first time, and after spending 500 yuan, they can be discounted by 85." ”

"Can't it be less?" Yuan Dutian then asked.

"I'm sorry, I can't miss it, I personally selected the things in our store, and each piece of jewelry is only the same, and there will be no duplicates. Our price may be a little more expensive than other homes, but the quality is guaranteed, so ......" The owner of the store was interrupted by Yuan Dutian before he finished speaking.

"Okay, then this pair of earrings, please wrap them up."

Qin Xiaotian glared at Yuan Dutian a little incredulously, this clearly showed that the boss wanted to rip off customers, and the price of such earrings was so high that they were not made of gold, she thought that Yuan Dutian was afraid that he would be crazy and pay for such an expensive earring. Yuan Dutian saw what she meant, and said indifferently: "I haven't given you any gifts yet, this should be the first gift for you, as the first gift to buy for your girlfriend, it's actually not expensive, anyway, I think it's worth the money." In the future, if you have something you like, as long as the conditions allow, I am willing to meet it. ”

"Really?" Qin Xiaotian was a little moved in his heart. But, Mr. Yuan, do you think it's worth spending so much money to buy earrings, I don't think it's worth it! Four or five hundred yuan can buy a set of clothes, Qin Xiaotian's flesh hurts.

"Of course!" Yuan Dutian instructed the shopkeeper: "Wrap it up." ”

"Girl, your boyfriend is good to you!" The shopkeeper praised Yuan Dutian in front of Qin Xiaotian. Qin Xiaotian muttered in his heart: Of course my boyfriend is fine, he was slaughtered like this by you, and he didn't blink his eyes.

"Wait a minute, boss!" Qin Xiaotian drank the boss, then his voice softened, and he asked glutinously, "Can there be more?" ”

The shopkeeper was stunned, and smiled politely in a blink of an eye: "Remove the mantissa number, 470 yuan really can't be less." After speaking, his eyes turned to Yuan Dutian.

Yuan Dutian nodded, and Qin Xiaotian was not good at bargaining.

"Want to wear it now?" Yuan Dutian pointed to the jewelry box in Qin Xiaotian's hand.

Qin Xiaotian looked at those starry eyes and nodded. Yuan Dutian took the jewelry box from Qin Xiaotian's hand, took out the earrings, and handed the jewelry box back to Qin Xiaotian. When helping Qin Xiaotian put on his first earring, he was probably a little nervous and unfamiliar with the business, Yuan Dutian accidentally poked the flesh next to Qin Xiaotian's ear piercing, and hurriedly asked, "Does it hurt?" Qin Xiaotian nodded coquettishly, and told him that it didn't matter, let him continue. Yuan Dutian looked at the ear piercing, and gently pierced the ear needle, the movement was very gentle. After putting on the earrings, Qin Xiaotian also deliberately shook the two earrings that were a little heavy, and asked Yuan Dutian if he looked good. "It's pretty." Yuan Dutian nodded with satisfaction.

The two of them wandered along the alleys in the ancient city, and before they knew it, it was getting late. It gets dark later in the west than in the eastern and central regions, and although it is already past 7 p.m., the night has not really fallen.

"Let's go, let's find a place to have dinner!" Yuan Dutian pulled Qin Xiaotian to shuttle on the stone road.

"How's this house?" Qin Xiaotian saw that there was a restaurant on the side of the road with a lot of people, and asked Yuan Dutian's opinion.

Yuan Dutian looked up at the antique door, the word Cang'er Spring was written on it, the restaurant was very lively, the taste should be good, the two found a place to sit down, ordered a Dali casserole fish, ordered the fried taro with sea cabbage recommended by the boss, and a dried roasted artichoke shred. The amount of fish in the casserole is very large, the milky white soup is very fresh and sweet, Qin Xiaotian drank three bowls of soup, but he couldn't kill this big pot of fish.

"We call it potatoes over there, and potatoes over there." Qin Xiaotian said as he stuffed dried roasted potato shreds into his mouth, "This method is quite delicious!" When we go back, we will also learn to do it? "Since Qin Xiaotian cooked a few times at Yuan Dutian's place, every time he went to the restaurant to eat, he would pay attention to the dishes that the two of them liked to eat, and they all said that they had to learn to make them, but they were only just talking.

"Yes! Next time we try it ourselves, this shouldn't be difficult, it's just that it costs fuel. Yuan Dutian thinks that the taste of the fish is good, tender and smooth, and there is no fishy smell, so he can try this new method in the future.
