The middle-aged woman was bloated, with her hair curled at the back of her head, dyed flaxen, and slightly yellowed in the sun.

Dressed in casual clothes, a white silk shirt, black cropped trousers, a pair of gray scoop shoes, and holding a brown fan in her hand, she swaggered into the temple.

"Give me the money for the fortune telling."

She shook her fan twice, her eyes shining with greed.

"Hmm, how much?"

I took two steps forward and looked at her curiously.

"The fortune teller starts at 500 yuan, and the master just explained to you how to get rid of impetuousness, so you need to pay 700 yuan."

"What? Seven hundred dollars? ”

I looked at her with a look of surprise on my face.

"That's right, seven hundred, that's the price."

She wore a golden necklace around her neck, which rose and fell as he breathed rhythmically, reflecting a dazzling light.

"But you don't have a price for the hexagram here."

Xue Xinyan stepped forward and reasoned with her.

After hearing this, she sneered: "Who said that there is no price, what is here?" ”

The woman pointed to the wall on the north side of the ear house, where the light was dim, and there was a small wooden sign hanging on the wall, which could not be seen without looking closely.

Xue Xinyan and I walked to the bottom of the wooden sign, and the dark gray sign read: 500 yuan for fortune telling, 700 yuan for pointing to the bright road, 1,000 yuan for brilliant Tengda, and 1,500 yuan for Taoist practice.

I gasped after reading it, isn't this a sky-high asking price?

Xue Xinyan let out a long sigh, looked at me and whispered, "Give it to me." ”

The more I thought about it, the more angry I became, and I turned to the woman and said, "Why don't you put the sign on the surface?" ”

I kept my face calm and my tone a little cold.

After hearing this, she glared at me, and said unhurriedly: "This is the bright face, otherwise where would I still be hanging?" ”

When I heard this, I was instantly furious.

"You're hanging in a place so dark that tourists can't see it at all."

I was so emotional that two drops of sweat broke out on my forehead and slid down my cheeks.

"Can't you open your mouth to ask if you can't see it? Did I force you to tell the divination? ”

The women were disrespectful, with contemptuous expressions, and looked at me as if I were a pestering tourist.

"You..."

I was speechless for a moment, and Xue Xinyan took my hand.

"Xiao Tao, don't admit death here, forget it."

She took out her phone from her bag, looked at the woman and said coldly, "I'll pay." ”

"Sweep here, here, here."

The woman smiled happily, pointed to the QR code pasted on the door frame, and looked at Xue Xinyan excitedly.

I saw that the position of the QR code sticker was very eye-catching, and I turned to look at the small wooden sign on the north wall, glared at the woman fiercely, and walked out of the ear house directly.

Xue Xinyan finished paying, walked out of the house, and saw me sitting on a big bluestone smoking a cigarette, so she came over to comfort me and said: "Xiaotao, this phenomenon is generally found in scenic spots, there is nothing to be angry about, let's go." ”

I had a cigarette in my hand, and I was just about to stand up, when the phone rang, I took out my cigarette and took out my mobile phone, it was Sun Kai calling, I was surprised for two seconds, how could he suddenly remember to call me.

"Hey, Sun Kai."

"Xiaotao, is the scenery of Laoshan good? Having fun? Hehe. ”

Sun Kai's hearty laughter came from the other side of the phone, I was shocked after hearing it, how did Sun Kai know that I was in Laoshan?

"You, how do you know..."

I stumbled inquiring.

"Turn around, haha."

I quickly stood up, and the soot fell on my pants, smashed into powder, and flew in the wind.

I turned around with Xue Xinyan and saw Sun Kai and Mengxi standing there, I hadn't seen him for a long time, he was much more handsome, wearing a black sportswear, with a pair of white travel shoes, carrying a green shoulder bag, comfortable short hair, his handsome face became more and more delicate and stylish, he had a faint smile on the corner of his mouth, hung up the mobile phone call, held Mengxi's hand, and walked towards me with a smile.

"What a coincidence, uh, Xinyan, long time no see."

He said hello to Xue Xinyan, then looked me up and down, and when he saw my arm in a plaster cast, he asked:

"What's wrong with your arm? Is it fighting with someone else again? ”

"Hey, it's hard to put into words, but it's a coincidence that I met you here."

I let out a long sigh and looked at Mengxi beside him again.

"Mengxi is getting more and more beautiful, and it is said that women will get the nourishment of love after marriage, and it is true, haha."

After hearing this, Mengxi said shyly: "Don't praise me, when will you get married?" ”

"Mrs. Wang is standing here, isn't the marriage thing done in minutes?"

Sun Kai looked at Xue Xinyan, who was blushing, and said jokingly.

"Aren't you promoted to vice president, you should be very busy usually, how can you still have time to travel?"

I took out my cigarette case, handed Sun Kai a cigarette, and after helping him light it, I looked at him curiously.

Seeing him smoking with a drunken face, Mengxi pinched him hard, and muttered in a low voice: "Still smoking, no skin and no face." ”

Sun Kai spit out a puff of cigarette, squinted his eyes and said: "The vice president is also a person, he has to rest, he has been busy for so long, and it is not too much to take his wife out to travel." ”

With that, he took another deep puff of his cigarette.

Sun Kai's appearance completely disrupted my travel plan with Xue Xinyan, I was going to visit Laoshan today, and book a ticket to return tomorrow, but I didn't expect Sun Kai to be interested, and I had to take me and Xue Xinyan to Huangdao to have fun, I couldn't resist him, so I simply came out to play, and it didn't matter if I played a few more places, so I promised him.

The four of us descended the mountain and came to the beach, which was crowded with tourists running into the sea barefoot, and our companions on the shore holding up their cameras to take pictures.

Some tourists wear big pants and go naked, run to the shallow water, plunge into the water, and swim happily, like a wild duck that has been in the dew for a long time.

"Xiao Tao, take a few photos of me and Mengxi."

Sun Kai took out a Sony digital camera from his shoulder bag, handed it to me and said, "Press this button to take pictures." ”

He and Mengxi took off their shoes and ran into the seawater, causing Mengxi to scream, the sea water soaked his trouser legs, but Sun Kai didn't care, he teased the water to Mengxi, laughed loudly, and looked from afar, he was like an underage child, immersed in the joyful atmosphere he had created.

Mengxi covered the splash with both hands, kicked up a piece of water from time to time, resisting Sun Kai's attack, I recorded this scene in the camera, Sun Kai was emotional, he picked up Mengxi, walked to the depths of the sea, felt that the depth was moderate, then threw Mengxi into the water, and then let out a burst of laughter.

"Damn, these two are crazy enough."

I stared at the camera, looked at the two people who were having fun in the water, and then at Xue Xinyan who was standing beside me, and sighed softly.

"Look at what I'm doing, your hands can't get wet."

Xue Xinyan pulled a lock of hair behind her ear and gave me a blank look.

Sun Kai led Mengxi to the beach, he looked at me excitedly and said, "How about it, I took a few photos." ”

"More than fifty."

Mengxi twisted a handful of soaked clothes, glared at Sun Kai and said, "If you dare to throw me into the water, I will kill you." ”

There is a clothing stall on the beach, and there is a small changing room behind the stall for tourists to change their clothes.

Sun Kai took off his soaked shirt and carried it with his hands.

"Wait a minute."

He took Mengxi's hand and walked to the stall, bought two sets of clothes, threw away the soaked clothes before, walked into the dressing room, and a few minutes later, he led Mengxi back again.

"I'm hungry, let's get some food nearby."

Sun Kai wiped his hair and looked at me with a smile on his face.

I looked down at the time, it was past twelve o'clock at noon, and it was time for dinner.

"Let's go, let's eat."

I straightened my arms and looked around.

I found a restaurant called Bamianhe, ordered a few local dishes, including Laoshan skin shrimp, Laoshan mushroom stewed chicken, Laoshan fist vegetable fried meat, Laoshan fisherman's iron pot fish tortillas, the staple food ordered mackerel dumplings, Sun Kai and I drank two bottles of beer, and after a full meal, we walked out of the restaurant.

We found a hotel, checked in, and then went to the small local shops to stroll, and the afternoon time passed very quickly.

The sky slowly darkened, the temperature dropped, and the sea breeze blew, mixed with damp moisture.

The four of us came to the square, where the lights were bright and lively, and the large statue of Maywind stood in the center of the square, like a huge flying saucer, and the whole body glowed with purple oil.

Not far from the statue, there is a circular fountain, the fountain is made very exquisite, the water flow gushes out, transforms a variety of shapes in the air, transforms into colorful light, on one side is the vast and boundless sea, on the other side is the gorgeous and delicate fountain, the lights are gorgeous, each other reflects each other, the vast sea and sky, the changes are endless, it is really the beauty of the world.

Sun Kai found a restaurant and yelled that he would not return if he was not drunk, Xue Xinyan handed me a look, signaling me not to drink too much, I understood.

He ordered a large table of seafood, probably tired of hiking during the day, the four of us had a great appetite, and ordered fried pomfret, fragrant and smooth sea bass balls, fried mullet rolls, oyster lobster, vinegared shrimp and so on.

The table is staggered and messy, and with a refreshing cold beer, I feel like I have reached the top of my life.

Xue Xinyan put her advice to me behind, her face was flushed with alcohol, she raised her cup of draft beer, and said loudly, "Drink." ”

The four glasses collided together and made a clattering sound, and I drank most of the draft beer in one go.

Sun Kai took a few sips, put down the cup, and burped a long wine, he looked at me drunkenly and said: "Xiaotao, since my last wedding, we haven't been together to drink, and today I will drink him without getting drunk." ”

His tongue had stiffened, but his mood was good.

"Waiter, four more draft beers."

He shouted loudly, looking at Mengxi beside him with a smirk.

I lit a cigarette and smoked it with a drunken face.

"Get me one too."

Mengxi rubbed her hands, her eyes full of anticipation.

Sun Kai and I looked at each other and felt incredible.

"Wife, when did you learn to smoke?"

Sun Kai took Mengxi into his arms and asked gently.

"I want to smoke after drinking, who said girls can't smoke, turtles."

She pouted and had a happy expression on her face.

There were two men sitting at the next table, they were drunk, and when they talked about what they were happy about, they laughed out loud, and one man picked up the cigarette case on the table and wanted to smoke a cigarette, but the cigarette case was empty.

"Boss, do you sell cigarettes?"

He turned back to the bar and shouted.

"Excuse me sir, we don't sell cigarettes here."

A waiter came over and apologized to him.

"Then is there a store or supermarket here, you can buy two boxes for me."

He took out a hundred yuan and handed it to the waiter, and said in a righteous and awe-inspiring manner, "The rest of the money belongs to you." ”

"Excuse me sir, the nearest store is four kilometers away, and we don't offer cigarette service."

The man sighed in disappointment, grabbed the money in his hand, and turned his gaze to us.
