Chapter Seventy-Four: A Trip to Beijing (3)
There was nothing to do all the way, and the plane finally landed at the capital airport in the middle of boredom, Lao Cai and I walked to the baggage hall and took off the checked items from the turntable, I turned on my phone and looked at the time. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
"Eleven o'clock, let's take a taxi." Saying that, I touched the business card in my pocket, Mentougou, no matter what magic you are stationed in, I am ready to meet you for a while.
Lao Cai and I raised our hands on the street and hailed a taxi, and rushed all the way to the village of Mentougou...
The capital airport is about 130 kilometers away from the ancient village of Mentougou where we are going, for the taxi driver, this is indeed a big order, the driver is very happy and talkative, all the way to chat with Lao Cai is very happy, and enthusiastically introduce us to the tourist attractions and cultural customs around Mentougou.
Mentougou is located in the west of Beijing, and is the only pure mountainous area in Beijing, it is high in the northwest, low in the southeast, as the so-called: looking at the capital in the east, going to the west and passing through the desert, its terrain is dangerous, it is the battleground of the soldiers since ancient times. Mentougou not only covers a wide range of forests, but also contains rich mineral resources underground, including coal, marble, limestone...
Due to the undulating terrain, high mountains are often seen, supplemented by meadows, low streams, and canyons. Qingshui River and Yongding River run through it, the natural scenery is beautiful, the forest is beautiful, it is rich in pear, sweet apricot, the ancient town in the middle, the ancient village is numerous, just like a paradise without the world.
The residence of Zhang's mother and nephew, whom Lao Cai and I are going to visit this time, is located in one of the ancient villages deep in the mountains and valleys. Zhang's mother's nephew has a good career in Beijing, and soon after the family moved, he met the girl he liked, and this wedding was at the request of the girl's family, and the marriage was completed in the woman's home! I didn't think about it at the beginning, but now I think about it is really unreasonable, they are all Han people, and they can't talk about any customs, after all, Zhang's mother's nephew is not a son-in-law who recruits money.
I looked at the scenery outside the window, a wave of exhaustion hit my body, anyway, it's still early, this car will not be able to drive for a while, it is better to recuperate! So I simply closed my eyes... But I didn't expect it.、I just slept peacefully...
"Mingzi, don't fall asleep! We're here! When I was woken up by Lao Cai, the car had already driven to the gate of the ancient village, Lao Cai dragged me out of the car with a worried face, and stuffed a few red Grandpa Mao to the taxi driver, "Thank you!" Don't look for it! He smiled and waved goodbye to the driver.
"Ho! Beijing Rural Folk Tourism Village! Look! Lao Cai pointed to the wooden sign erected at the entrance of the village, "Good place!" As he spoke, he stepped on the stone-paved pavement and walked forward with a curious brisk.
I walked all the way to look at this village, most of the house styles remain in the Ming and Qing dynasties, the small courtyard houses are built along the mountain, but they are also scattered, the courtyard walls, houses, and roads are built by the mountains. The village is very quaint, there is a kind of time-like kindness, a few fruit trees on the side are full of yellow and clear apricots, no one picks them, and the sweet fragrance of Wu spontaneously emitted a few bees buzzing around, different from the hustle and bustle of the city, this is a quiet and peaceful place.
"Mingzi, hey, Mingzi, this way, come here!" Lao Cai waved and shouted to me in front of him, it turned out that he was meeting two villagers passing by, "Mingzi, take out your business card, ask first, we don't have to take the wrong road!" ”
Yes, what village is only written on this business card, the contact person Zhang Qiang, didn't write a few numbers at all, said that it was not written, but it was really written, and we are not familiar with this village, and it is enough to find it! I hurriedly stepped forward and handed over the business card, but the villager took it and took a closer look, but said he didn't know!
At this time, a few more villagers came over, and I hurriedly handed over the business card, without exception! The villagers said they didn't know about this person! Lao Cai and I immediately looked at each other!
Annoyed, I leaned against the stone wall on the side of the road, took out my cigarette, lit it and took two puffs, I needed to think calmly!
The business card must be right, it must be, I missed a link, and this clue must not be broken here...
Wait a minute! It suddenly occurred to me that this Zhang Qiang had just arrived, and he was not a native of here, and no one remembered... But the bride is! Haha, there's a way now! That's it!
I smiled and walked over to Lao Cai, "Lao Cai, you are more familiar, wait a minute, you can inquire about which happy events have been held in the past week, and we can find out by elimination!" ”
"Oh, yes, why didn't I remember it when I was there? You kid! It's a great way to do it! See you later! Saying that, Lao Cai walked towards the residential activity area in the village with a look of ambition...
