Chapter 15: Tourism (1)

Time flies, and the days in school this semester are almost halfway over, and the small long vacation is coming soon.

In the past, Lin Chen and the others might stay in the dormitory and not go out, being an unknown otaku, but now it is different.

Sun Qiao had already planned to travel with Lin Chen during this small long holiday, and the destination was an ancient town seventy kilometers away.

There were the former residences of two of her favorite masters, and Lin Chen was also very interested in them, because he had also read the works of those two masters.

He admired their noble style and self-sacrificing dedication, which influenced him in his writings.

After everything was ready, the two of them set off, and the journey was relatively smooth, and the driver also reminded the station to get off.

After getting out of the car, Lin Chen and Sun Qiao first went to the hotel they booked, found their respective rooms, and then went out to visit the ancient street.

There are not too many people in the ancient town, probably because Lin Chen and they came earlier, but there are shops open everywhere, and there is no lack of lively atmosphere.

There are mountains and rivers here, there is a big river flowing next to it, and the road is also paved with bluestone slabs, which is very flat and has a simple feeling.

There is a waist-high wall near the river, where you can stand and look into the distance, and the vast scene makes people's mood involuntarily open and combine with it.

He and Sun Qiao walked over from the street to the east, which happened to be the former residence of the two masters, and the old houses had been given a new look, but they could still feel the traces of the past.

She paused there for a long time, with reverence in her eyes, and only after a long time did she come back to her senses and quietly leave.

The land, houses, bamboo fences, etc., will always exist, and the people who have come here are just passers-by, and we leave the figure of the years and remember it in our hearts.

Then the two men descended the embankment together and walked down the potholed path towards the river, where a large field of crops was planted on the gravel and mud-covered land.

When you arrive at the river, you can see that there are no waves on the calm water, and only when you meet the pebbles of different heights on the shore will the waves collide and disperse.

Lin Chen's first feeling was that he had returned to his hometown, where there were also mountains and rivers, and he had grown up under the moisture of the river and the shade of the trees in the mountains since he was a child, so he felt a lot.

He is also a little homesick at the moment, missing his distant relatives, presumably they are the same!

Lin Chen put his hands behind his back and stood quietly, while Sun Qiao was happily playing in the water on the side, and also picked up a lot of milky white pebbles, and put them there in two hearts.

"Idiot, do these two hearts I put on the table look good?" She stopped what she was doing and said to Lin Chen.

"It's good-looking, but it seems a little incongruous, and it's a little more here." He replied, somewhat puzzled.

"Sure enough, it's a nerd! Let me tell you, the heart on the left uses thirteen stones, representing a lifetime, and the right uses fourteen stones, representing a lifetime, and the two hearts together mean loving you for a lifetime, understand? ”

"It turns out that there is such a meaning, I see."

"Hmph, it's not too late for you to understand now, these twenty-seven stones will be given to you." After speaking, Sun Qiao bent over and picked them up one by one and handed them to him.

"Okay, I'll keep them as gifts." Lin Chen said to her from the bottom of his heart.

"Hee-hee, that's the best."

After Lin Chen packed the white stones, he walked downstream with her, wanting to see more scenery.

However, the sky was full of dark clouds, the water on the river was hazy, and swallows flying low were the precursors of heavy rain.

At first, I didn't care, thinking that the rain wouldn't come so quickly, so the two of them stayed for a while.

But who knew that as the wind blew and the rain hit like a tide, he and Sun Qiao didn't bring umbrellas, so they had to run up the path.

Because there was a certain distance, he was still caught in the rain, so Lin Chen had to take off his coat and cover the heads of the two of them, so as not to get wet all over.

After running to the street above, there was a place to hide from the rain, and he and Sun Qiao entered a pastry shop.

The owner of the shop is an older woman, very kind, not only he and Sun Qiao in the store, but also other people who are here to hide from the rain, all without umbrellas.

Lin Chen and Sun Qiao found an empty place to sit down, she brushed her hair, fortunately there were clothes in the way, so the two of them didn't get wet.

She was also a little annoyed, she encountered such a thing on the first day, not only did she not finish the riverside scenery, but her clothes were also wet by the heavy rain, and now her whole body feels cold.

And Lin Chen seemed to be able to understand it, so he went to the shopkeeper to buy two cups of hot drinks and ordered some pastries to serve to her.

Sun Qiao took two sips of the hot drink, and immediately felt much warmer, and then picked up the pastry to fill his hungry stomach.

Lin Chen looked at her quietly beside her, his eyes were full of love, and the two of them sat here until the rain stopped.

Because it was getting late, I didn't go to the ancient street anymore, and returned to the hotel.
