Chapter 15: The Pandan Trail
The sky was fiery red, and the sea of clouds seemed to burn on one side, which was extremely beautiful.
But Koller and Rita still seem to be having a good time, one mobile game after another, without the slightest intention of separating, watching the two of them happily playing all kinds of childish games, Gong Bing doesn't want to accompany them to make trouble like this.
"Rita, we need to go home for dinner." Gong Bing pointed to the mechanical watch on his wrist: "Tonight is a family prayer dinner, and my father and mother are still waiting for us at home. ”
"yes, I almost forgot about it." Rita patted her head, forgetting about Gong Bing's name for a moment.
I don't think you even remembered.
Although both of them were a little reluctant, they could only reluctantly part in the end, looking at the ambiguous and thick eyes of the two, there were thousands of words but they were ashamed to speak, Gong Bing, who had been fed dog food for a day, felt almost unbearable.
Looking at Koller as he faded into the distance, Rita turned around and sat down on the bus with peace of mind.
Rita suddenly looked at Gong Bing seriously.
"Gabriel, when you get home, I hope you don't talk to your father and mother about Tikorla."
"Why can't you say that?" Gong Bing held his face with his hands, and asked puzzled while looking out the window, in fact, he was not interested in knowing the reason, but he still couldn't hold his mouth and asked.
"Anyway, I can't say it, can you promise my sister?" Rita said to Gong Bing with a serious face, and then her expression changed, and she said viciously: "Otherwise, I will tell my mother about you hiding yellow books under the bed." ”
On weekdays, although his father Sean is a little strict with Rita's discipline, he feels that as a father, he is also a high intellectual, and he doesn't seem to be the kind of unreasonable old stubborn, and he shouldn't interfere with his daughter's relationship, not to mention that he has gone to college.
Maybe she had something unspeakable, but Gong Bing didn't have much interest in exploring this matter, so she nodded in agreement.
Holding his cheeks, Gong Bing silently looked at the rapidly reversing scenery outside the car, recalling what Kohler said.
Is it true martial arts? Finally something interesting.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
After being reborn, two months passed unconsciously, and he slowly adapted to life as an ordinary teenager.
Gong Bing's town is full of greenery, old trees can be seen everywhere, many are even much older than the town, and the residents of the town also have the habit of planting flowers and plants, so whether it is in the garden in front of the villa or outside the apartment building built next to each other, there is a green and happy scenery everywhere.
Gradually, everyone forgot the original name of the town, and now they all call the town Green Town, and over time it became the name of the town.
There are about 100,000 permanent residents in the town, and there are probably nearly 200,000 people who work and live in temporary places.
In the eyes of Gong Bing from Earth, this number is just a small township, and the generally slightly prosperous coastal towns are far more than this number.
The world is in the rapid entry into the level of industrialization, countries around the world have begun to build high-rise buildings one after another, the kind of tall columns, glass curtain walls of modern buildings, is the era of urban prosperity, people are also proud to have this kind of architecture.
However, this trend of change did not affect Greentown, she seemed to be an old man in her twilight years, sticking to her own rhythm.
It is precisely because of this environment and atmosphere that although it is not as bustling and lively as the big cities, it is a well-known tourist town, which attracts many tourists who want to escape the hustle and bustle of city life every year.
"This is the pandan trail you said?" Gong Bing pursed the corners of his mouth and asked Bailey beside him.
"Gabriel, have you really forgotten about this?" Bailey asked a little strangely, "We used to hang out here a lot after school. ”
"I don't remember." Gong Bing stood on the side of the road and looked around, and replied indifferently: "I don't see anything special."
This pandan trail is located in the old town of Greentown, one of the earliest communities in Greentown, where every house is hundreds of years old, with red mottled masonry facades covered with vines, clinging to the pipes on the facades, winding around specially patterned iron railings, and many small purple and yellow flowers on the vines, growing upright in the sun.
"It seems that the after-effects of the serious illness are still there, but I think the snacks here will definitely make you remember." After his tablemate recovered from his illness, he seemed to have become a different person, although he still didn't talk much in the class, but unlike before, he didn't dare to speak, but he didn't bother to talk to others, and the temperament of the whole person was completely different.
Watching Gabriel walk forward on his own, Bailey shook his head, shook the superfluous thoughts out of his head, and walked into the trail as well.
The pandan trail is only five or six meters wide, and the road surface is paved with large and large strips of bluestone slabs, which are also hundreds of years old and not suitable for cars to walk on.
"Xianglan Trail used to be just a muddy pavement, but later because of the lack of maintenance, whenever it rains, it will always be muddy and sewage flowing, so after the residents and the mayor reflected, it has become what it is now, not only paved with bluestone slabs, but also excavated drainage channels on both sides of the road, as well as shops on both sides ......."
Bailey introduced to Gong Bing as he walked.
The two were wearing school uniforms, Bailey was carrying a schoolbag, and Gong Bing was empty-handed, he didn't carry a schoolbag on the second day of school, and walked along the roadside, there were many pedestrians on the road, most of them were young people like Gong Bing, who looked like students, all came over after school, walked in groups of three or five, and chatted while giggling.
"There are a lot of snack shops here, many of which are 100 years old and have their own unique craftsmanship, and they taste very good." Bailey pointed to the various shops that began to appear on the roadside: "The most important thing is that the prices are not expensive, so they are very popular with students in Green Town." ”
The roadside shops are mostly food-oriented, the shops are not large, usually only five or six meters wide, and the long cloth curtains are supported on the top of the heads outside the store, blocking the sun, and a few small tables and chairs are usually placed at the door of the store, and some people who buy food will sit outside the store, eating and chatting.
"Wait a little later, a lot of adults who get off work will come here and patronize the tavern at the other end of the pandan trail, Jinlan fruit wine is a specialty here, the degree is not high, the taste is sweet, it is very delicious, even children can drink a little, it is a famous specialty of Green Town."
Gong Bing and Bailey talked while walking, most of the time Bailey was talking, Gong Bing was listening, the latter's face was expressionless, his eyebrows did not rise and fall, Bailey felt that Gabriel at this time was more difficult to get along with than before, sometimes outspoken words were not very good, he felt that everything should be blamed on the serious illness not long ago, thinking of this, the kind-hearted Bailey was even more angry with the fat man and the triangular eyes.
