Chapter 102: Xitang Meets Friends
Anyway, it was also a person in Shanghai, Han Yi cut first and then played, as Li Jia said, pulled a small gift box, put some change of clothes, and drove Qiu Lang's red 488 to Xitang.
Han Yi sometimes wants to travel after working for a long time, but before he puts it into action, he thinks about what is the meaning of traveling?
After thinking about it for a long time, I found that when I pulled the gift box today, I realized that there was no need to travel without any meaning, just an excuse to go out for myself, and take this opportunity to relax and rest.
As one of the first batch of historical and cultural towns in China, Xitang Town is one of the six ancient towns in the south of the Yangtze River, a thousand-year-old water town with Wu Dihan culture, and a national 5A-level scenic spot. There are thousands of years of water, thousands of years of stone roads, and even more thousands of years. According to historical records, there have been 19 Jinshi here, 31 people, outstanding people, so it can be seen.
For Han Yi is somewhat attractive, at least when he goes to school, he will want to go there to play. I went out at nine o'clock in the morning, which lasted about an hour and a half, and it was not yet eleven o'clock when I settled at the homestay.
At the beginning of May, there is no wind or rain, and the sun is not strong, which is quite suitable for going out for a walk, which can be regarded as catching the tail of spring.
The B&B shop is surrounded by small bridges and flowing water, surrounded by folk songs from the music bar, and you can also watch the passers-by when you go out, and you can chat with three or five friends. And even though he is alone, he can find his own fun.
Wearing glasses with more than 200 degrees of myopia, holding a SLR, he walked slowly along the stone road. Patting the boat boats rowing leisurely on the water, imagining as if rowing through a thousand years, bumping into the former talented and beautiful woman. At the corner of a certain bridge, I met a girl who sketched, and a pen brought the ancient town to life. In the eyes of many people, the charm of the ancient town is the charm of the painting, so he looked at the building painted by the girl, found a good angle, and took pictures of the people and things.
The shore is full of docked boats, some of which are hung with red lanterns, and everything smells of joy. He got into a boat, and the long oars glided on the water with the strength of the boatman, slowly and slowly, and swaying, and the days passed silently. In fact, I didn't say that it was fun or comfortable, but I was in a good mood, and what I saw and felt was very good.
After getting off the boat, I walked to a high bridge and looked at the white wall and ink roof, the shadow of the boat was sparkling, and the warm sunlight was just like a light rice paper painting.
Strolling in the alley, stepping on the stone road with moss, its stone is as thin as skin, so it is called Shipi Lane, there is a saying that Xitang is "a line of sky". When I looked up, I bumped into an embroidered umbrella, and if it was white snow holding the umbrella, what a romantic encounter it would be.
When it was almost lunch, Han Yi walked to a small restaurant and ordered braised eel carp, wonton duck, fried eel curd, water tofu and cold beef. Because I didn't have time to eat breakfast, the dishes on this table were basically eaten clean.
Han Yi, who was well-fed, walked along Xitang Old Street, walked across the stone bridge, and crossed the alley, and saw many small literary and artistic shops, selling small objects. He looked at it and didn't seem to find anything he liked, but instead picked out a few delicate diaries.
Anyway, there is still plenty of time, so I won't panic at all when I go back tomorrow, and walk slowly.
When you arrive at the bustling street - Tangdong Street, you can see many restaurants on the street, and there used to be a saying that "by asking where the restaurant is, there are buildings everywhere by the Xutang River". Some people say that Xitang is the intersection of Confucian merchant culture and civilian culture, and this must be well-founded. Perhaps influenced by the Confucian culture at that time, there was a couplet on the door of the century-old pharmacy that read: Ning medicine shelf is full of dust, may the world be disease-free. In other words, the store would rather not be able to sell the medicine, and did not want the people to suffer from illness. It can be seen that the Confucian ideas of "benevolence" and "harmony" are deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.
Because it's not a holiday, there aren't too many tourists, and it's relatively quiet. Han Yi sat on the steps of the bridge, enjoying the sunshine and looking at the photos he took.
In Xitang, you will encounter a bridge when you walk, and there will be a bridge when there is water. The round arch type is the Huanxiu Bridge, which has been repaired several times to show its current appearance, and there are couplets on both sides of the bridge: the boat passes through the jasper ring, and the people walk up with the rainbow belt. So vivid and real, if you are the tourist who takes the boat, you may also feel in a trance that you have become a painting with this bridge. The boat swims under the bridge, and the people stop on the bridge.
Han Yi, who was a little tired from walking, didn't want to get up, and when he saw whose eaves were reflected in the water, he threw a small pebble to break the peace and stir up a circle of splashes. He just felt that the calm water needed a little movement to make him ripple, and then pulled the camera to capture the reflection of the eaves in the splash.
He suddenly took out the diary he had just bought from his backpack, took out a pen, looked around, then thought about it, and wrote down a paragraph.
"I walked into you gently, with the sun and the breeze, stepping on the gray stone slab. You are like a gentle girl, the water is flowing, telling a story about time. The autumn water tickles someone's heart, wanting to lean on you like this, in a daze, dreaming. Under the stone bridge, reflected in the water waves, it should be a different mind, he and her, she and it. And you, just sit upright, let everything fade with time. ”
He is not pretending to be literary and artistic, but he is indeed such a person. On the plane, on the train, at work, if something suddenly comes to him and he feels like he wants to write it down, he will do it immediately. At this moment, there is no doubt that he wants to share it with Bai Xue. I hope that "he and she" is "me and you, Bai Xue", and then lean on each other and let time go by.
When I came to a covered bridge, I saw a graffiti wall that was graffiti by tourists, densely packed with crooked handwriting, perhaps expressing the best wishes, or the love expressed by each other, or unrequited love. After many years, I wonder if those who have come hand in hand will revisit their old places?
He didn't leave his own handwriting, he didn't need to tell anyone that he had been here, just a passage from his diary.
In the evening, Han Yi, who was a little tired, went to the homestay where he stayed to rest for a while. Because I didn't bring a mobile phone when I went out, I found that no one called me when I came back, just two calls, one was from Li Jia at more than three o'clock in the afternoon, and the other was from Han Min.
Generally speaking, Li Jia made one or two phone calls to explain that it was not a very urgent matter, and even if he didn't have him, he could solve it smoothly, so he replied to his sister Han Min first.
Got on and quickly asked, "What's wrong, what's the matter?" ”
"Why did you drive Sister Ying'er away?" Han Min was already in the house, "Don't tell me if the password is changed, I just called and asked Sister Jiajia to come in." ”
"Don't you live there? What are you going to do? Han Yi seemed to mock her sister, and then reminded her: "Don't enter my bedroom and study!" ”
Han Min was cooking with a few friends, "I originally came here to eat, but I made a phone call to find out that Sister Ying'er was no longer here." I'm cooking with my classmates right now! Where are you now? Home for dinner? ”
"I'm in Xitang and don't come back at night. I repeat, you can play anywhere except my bedroom and study. ”
Han Yi doesn't have any special cleanliness habits, he loves to be clean and tidy, but sometimes when he is in a particularly bad mood, he can tolerate his laziness and make the house dirty for a day or two. It's only that I don't like to be touched by others, especially the things in the study, there are important documents, and diaries.
"Got it! What is the situation between you and Sister Ying'er? Wasn't it okay some time ago? Han Min still likes Zhong Ying'er, and thinks that the future sister-in-law should be her temperamental and virtuous appearance.
"Leave my business alone! Also, don't drink, don't drive! After Han Yi finished speaking, he hung up the phone.
Han Min didn't say anything about Zhong Ying'er, he forgot it, just like she told him on the phone at the time, don't go to her and ask about her, so he didn't know how Zhong Ying'er was doing now for so long, whether she was doing well.
Li Jia's call at that time should have said that he had arrived at Fu Bo's company to contact or report to work.
As soon as he opened his mouth, he was scolded, "Why don't you answer the phone?" "I don't even know who's the boss.
"Are you trying to change jobs?" As soon as Han Yi's voice fell, Li Jia's tone instantly improved.
"Why do you always threaten me with such things?" Even on the phone, Li Jia's crisp laughter could be heard, "I arrived at their company, and I had a meeting in the afternoon to convey all your meaning." It's going well so far, and they predict a major breakthrough in the coming week······"
Han Yi interrupted: "I don't need to talk about work today, I'm in Xitang ······ now."
As soon as the words fell, Li Jia laughed and teased: "You really went?" Will there be a perfect encounter on your terms? ”
Li Jia said that in a town like this kind of ancient saying, there will be many frustrated men and women who go back to travel and relax, and even jokingly suggested that Han Yi go to Lijiang once and meet a beautiful woman or something.
"Is there a proper way to speak! I just want to go out and walk around alone. Han Yi didn't bother to explain to her, "What's the situation to give me a WeChat voice message, hang up." ”
Han Yi saw a bar when he walked around and took pictures in the afternoon, and planned to take a break and go over to feel the noisy and lively atmosphere, or drink a little wine, so that he couldn't think about the person in his heart in a daze.
Less than eight o'clock, Han Yi, who had finished taking a shower, arrived there wearing a gray hooded sweatshirt and black slacks. It's a clear bar, there is a resident singer, and it's not as hi as expected, mainly attracted by the name of the bar, "Sycamore Shadow", he prefers this feeling,.
I sat down in the corner by the window and ordered a glass of wine and a fruit bowl. He looked very arrogant, drinking wine and listening to songs.
After a while, the singer changed, and Han Yi was surprised to find that the singer on stage seemed to be familiar, the girl from the school next door who had practiced guitar with him.
"Wang Yaqi?" That name comes to mind.
So I walked in and took a look, and I was sure that it was her. Maybe four years is too long, or maybe she didn't notice Han Yi.
I really didn't expect her to become a resident singer, Han Yi thought that he hadn't sung for a long time, and occasionally played the guitar, but it was rare to have that kind of time. He had a whim, found the boss, gave him a little money, and said that he knew Wang Yaqi and wanted to collaborate with the singer on stage on a song. Not surprisingly, the boss readily agreed.
When she finished singing a song, Han Yi walked up to the stage from her side and handed her a guitar.
"Long time no see! Will Zhao Shuo's "Remembering Her" still be played? ”
Wang Yaqi turned her head to see Han Yi, and she was also so frightened that she couldn't close her mouth, "Ah! How could it be you? ”
At that time, when they took guitar lessons to practice singing, Han Yi liked that kind of folk songs, and they had practiced together with this song "Remembering Her".
"Come on!"
The accompaniment of this song is extremely simple, but it can touch people's hearts, so this is also a reason for them to practice this song.
······
When you say love, it's not possession, and you never look back
If love chooses the wrong person, what kind of pain does the heart endure?
The sun shines across the clear sky and your smile is smiling
Seared in my heart
You know that I have loved her, I have missed her, and I have forgotten that she has no way, no matter how I let go
She won't understand how much pain and concern I have for her, who loves her, and has become a scar on my heart
Maybe you will also fall in love with him, accompany him, go through the wind and rain and years, and taste the ups and downs
In the end, I can only bless her, leave her, talk to loneliness, and remember the most beautiful her
······
The lyrics of this song may be a perfect interpretation of why Han Yi wanted to sing this song at this time, Wang Yaqi also gave him harmony from time to time, which can be regarded as a perfect singing.
Suddenly there was a feeling of meeting an old acquaintance in a foreign country, which made Han Yi feel that this trip was really worth it.
