Chapter 19: Xishan Town
The car drove along the road, and after about an hour, the car slowly drove into the mountain road, and the surrounding mountains became steeper and steeper, and the temperature gradually rose, as if there was a dividing line between winter and spring, and separated two worlds. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
In a city surrounded by mountains, the car stopped, and after Ming Yuan and Ming Yue thanked the driver, they turned to observe the small town in the mountains.
Xishan Town, the West Mountain of the West Mountain at sunset, is named because the sun is not seen all the year round, but it is such a valley town that does not see the sun, the climate is like spring in all seasons, and it is rich in some rare fruits, becoming a mountain town with tourism as the main industry.
The surrounding terrain is high, the mountains are like wells, people live in the flat hinterland, gradually the population increases, slowly expands, and gradually builds houses on the slopes suitable for habitation, layer by floor.
The temperature in the mountains is high, the vegetation is luxuriant, and the humidity is heavier, so most of the buildings in Xishan Town are made of gravel, mud and wood as the main materials for construction.
There is a simple wooden map at the entrance of Xishan Town, a circle, two horizontal and vertical lines in the middle, cutting the whole circle into 9 parts, and only the main locations are marked on it.
The two memorized the map, and then walked slowly along the smooth stone road, which was only enough for two people to walk side by side.
On both sides of the road, the shops are lined up, looking at the uniform style of advertising signs, there are selling local products, some selling snacks, some selling handicrafts, and selling rare fruits of Xishan Town, but there are not many businesses that open the door.
"Eh~ Why haven't you opened the door so much?"
Mingyue saw a few of them, and they liked them better, but they all closed the door tightly, and said with some confusion
"Let's take a look again, maybe people are still celebrating the New Year~"
Mingyuan was also a little puzzled in his heart, this is the tenth day of the first month, there are no tourists, and there are few merchants, but he has to comfort Mingyue first.
The two walked and walked until they came to a fork in the road, and saw an old man, sitting in the corner, smoking a cigarette.
So, Mingyuan and Mingyue stepped forward quickly, and Mingyuan asked politely: "Uncle, hello!" Is it convenient to ask you about something? ”
The rough fingers held the cigarette butt, and he took a deep puff of cigarette in his mouth, the furrows on the old man's face became clearer, and several long scars appeared on his arms, and then, he exhaled a puff of smoke and said, "Hmm~ You ask." ”
With the permission of the old man, Ming Yuan opened his mouth and asked, "Uncle, we want to buy something, but why is the store door not open?" ”
The old man leaned against the wall, flicked the cigarette ash, and said with a smile: "Well, it's still the New Year, I didn't open the door so early, you came early~"
"Oh! It turns out that we came early~"
"So what do we do?"
I originally thought that a tourist town, during the New Year, should be the most lively time, but I didn't expect it to be just in time for people to be on holiday.
When Mingyue heard this, she didn't open the door when she thought about it, so what should she do next...
"Girl, don't worry, there is a hotel on the street in front, you can stay first!"
The old man pointed to the position on the left with his finger holding the cigarette butt, signaling that he could stay there, and then threw the cigarette butt at his feet, stepped on the cigarette butt with his foot, got up, and left without looking back.
"Thank you, uncle!"
Ming Yuan looked at the old man's back and thanked him loudly, but he didn't know if the old man heard it, he still left with his hands behind his back and slowly.
Subsequently, Ming Yuan and Ming Yue followed the direction indicated by the old man, and slowly looked for it, and at the fork of the second road, they saw a house with the word "brigade" hanging on the door of the house, and the door was open.
"Full Moon! This name is very meaningful~"
When Mingyuan and Mingyue saw the open hotel, their hearts also fell slightly, as for not having to sleep on the streets.
The two stepped forward, Mingyue knocked lightly on the open door a few times, and shouted, "Hello, is there anyone?" ”
"Hello, anyone?"
Just when Mingyue and Mingyuan shouted several times in succession and were about to give up, a gray-haired grandmother walked out of the house.
The old woman walked slowly on crutches and asked, "Who?" ”
"Hello grandma, we want to find a place to stay, is it convenient for you here?"
When Mingyuan and Mingyue saw that someone was coming, the two of them smiled and asked the old grandmother happily.
The old grandmother walked to a better lighted position, squinted at Mingyuan and Mingyue, and said with a smile: "Yes, you guys come in~"
"Grandma, are you living here alone?"
Mingyuan and Mingyue walked into the house, supported the old woman from left to right, saw that the house was empty, and then asked curiously.
"Well~ It's still early, the children in the family have gone out to play, and they will be back in a few days!"
The two helped the grandmother to sit down, and then the grandmother said with a smile.
"Oh, it looks like we're still early."
"It's only the fifteenth day of the first lunar month today, it's really early, but it's okay, grandma just has a vacant room here, you can stay first."
The old grandmother greeted Mingyuan and Mingyue warmly, making the two feel very considerate.
"Thank you, Grandma!"
"No thanks, the room is upstairs, do you live alone or together?"
"One room for one person."
"Still shy? Grandma is here, one person and one room, it is dark in the mountains, you stay first, I will make some food in the evening, if you don't dislike it, let's eat together. ”
"Thank you, Grandma!"
The two of them turned out to be the key handed by the grandmother, and went up to the second floor from the side stairs, and found that there were quite a lot of rooms on the second floor, and found the room corresponding to the key.
A small bed, a TV, a simple room, but for Ming Yuan, it is enough, and when you go out, as long as you don't sleep on the street.
The two of them simply cleaned up, and went downstairs together, listening to the sound of firewood coming from the back of the house, it must be the old grandmother cooking, so the two lifted the bamboo curtain of the partition.
The old grandmother was sitting in front of the stove, picking up the firewood and putting it in the stove, the firewood made a thunderclapping sound, Mingyuan took over the work of burning the fire, and Mingyue helped the old grandmother start cooking and cooking.
I stir-fried two plates of wild vegetables in the mountains, boiled a pot of rice, and made a little pickled radish, and this is how the dinner is done.
The old grandmother picked up a bowl of rice, took some dishes out of the two dishes, put them on a plate, and then leaned on crutches, accompanied by Mingyuan and Mingyue, and lifted a partition in the corner.
Ming Yuan put the dishes containing the food in his hand on a desk, and asked curiously, "Grandma, who is this?" ”
"Monkey Fairy!" (To be continued.) )
