Chapter 8: Back
"I don't know, maybe there's something going on in the town lately." The proprietress said.
"Then the boss lady, congratulations on making a fortune, since there are only two rooms left, let's have two." Xu Wu said, Wu Jiao lowered her head when she heard this, her face was red, and the other two smiled darkly.
After several people registered their ID cards, Chen Bing took the key, handed it to Xu Wu with a cheap smile and said, "Take it, this is the key for the two of you." ”
"Who said I was in the same room with them?" Xu Wu pretended to be surprised and said.
"Then where do you sleep, I won't sleep with you anyway." Chen Bing said with a grin.
"Well, I'm used to sleeping alone, too." Zhou Damin hurriedly said.
"Who said I wanted to sleep with you? Flatter yourself. Xu Wu said with disdain.
"Then you're not going to sleep with the dog at the door, are you?" Chen Bing laughed after speaking.
At this time, the dog suddenly stood up and barked twice, and Zhou Damin smiled: "It seems that the dog is not happy." Then everyone laughed again.
Xu Wu glanced at a few people like an idiot, and said lightly: "Let's put two beds together, and three people sleep in two beds." ”
Wu Jiao snatched the key, glanced at Xu Wu resentfully, turned around and went upstairs.
"Alas......" Chen Bing shook his head exaggeratedly and walked upstairs.
"Alas......" Zhou Damin followed Chen Bing's example and also went upstairs.
Xu Wu looked at the smiling proprietress with a smile on her face, shrugged her shoulders with a smile, sighed softly, and went upstairs as well.
Early the next morning, several people were woken up by a noisy sound, got up and opened the window to see, the sun had risen early, the opposite house was illuminated with a golden yellow, the road was full of traffic, shoulder to shoulder, shuttling everywhere carrying a basket and carrying a basket of mountain people loudly selling their own mountain goods, the sidewalk was full of stalls, people came and went on the road, the car was blocked in the middle of the road and could not move, sometimes there was a piercing horn sound, a prosperous scene, so lively.
"It's hard to imagine that you can't see a single figure here at night, but it's so lively during the day." Chen Bing looked at the street and sighed.
Zhou Damin is not used to seeing it, and said while putting on his clothes: "It's not so lively every day, it's just that it's just a market today, so there are so many people." ”
"Oh, I see." Chen Bing looked suddenly enlightened.
"Comrade tour guide, how do we arrange today? Into the mountains? Xu Wu looked outside and said without looking back.
"If you're not in a hurry, I'll take you around the town today and enjoy the scenery of the ancient town." Zhou Damin said.
"Yes, yes! It seems to be fun. Wu Jiao didn't know when she entered the house, and suddenly made a sound, startling several big men.
"Miss Wu, I'm scared to death and want to pay for my life, don't you know the difference between men and women, and you don't knock when you enter the door." Chen Bing said with a serious face.
"Cut, I don't mind, what do you mind?" Wu Jiao rolled her eyes at Chen Bing.
Chen Bing walked up to Xu Wu with an expression of "you won", patted him on the shoulder and said, "Dude, take care of it." Then he walked to the door and opened the door, and said in a dragging voice, "It's time to eat." After saying that, he took the lead and went downstairs. The other three also laughed and followed out.
After breakfast, Zhou Damin took everyone to the river, Wu Jiao was still reminiscing about the delicious food just now, touched her stomach and said, "I'm so full, the things here are really delicious." ”
"You're just a foodie." Xu Wu said with a smile.
"Wow, drawbridge, let's go up and take a walk." Wu Jiao immediately forgot to eat and ran towards the suspension bridge, women are always full of curiosity, just like a female man like Wu Jiao, she is always a woman.
This is a 200-meter-long chain bridge, spanning the confluence of two rivers, rusty, people walk on it to make a "creaking" sound, but it is quite stable, not particularly shaking. The group came to the bridge, and Wu Jiao was jumping and amusing herself. Zhou Damin pointed to the river below and said, "Brother Xu, you now know why you can't take a boat into the mountain." ”
Xu Wu looked in the direction of Zhou Damin's finger, only to find that the river could no longer be called a river, because there was almost no river water, and the river was full of pits dug by sand mining boats, and the river was seriously deformed and scarred.
"I don't think the width of the river was like that before." Xu Wu said with a frown.
"In the past, this town was lively, this town was called Salt Spring Town, it was named because of salt, it flourished because of salt, and finally it declined because of salt." Zhou Damin looked at the river, pointed to the place where the two rivers converged and said: "This place, used to be a big wharf, full of large and small boats, the river is even more boats coming and going, there is no road in the mountains, the mountain people are gathering, the boat is the main means of transportation, at that time, if anyone has a boat, it can be beautiful." ”
"Then why is there no water now?" Chen Bing asked.
"Alas, since several power stations have been built upstream, there is no water in this river." Brother Zhou sighed.
"Damn!" Chen Bing said fiercely.
"Why are you so angry?" Wu Jiao looked at Chen Bing strangely and asked.
"Boat, return my boat!" Chen Bing exclaimed exaggeratedly, causing several people to laugh.
"It's not impossible to take a boat into the mountains." Brother Zhou looked at Chen Bing and said mysteriously.
"Is there another river?" Chen Bing couldn't be happier when he heard that he could enter the mountain without walking.
"No, no, no, it's still this river." Brother Zhou said.
"Can you conjure water?" Chen Bing said puzzled.
"I don't have that ability." Brother Zhou said with a smile: "If it rains heavily upstream, the river rises, or the power station releases water, then we can rent a boat and go into the mountain." ”
"When will the water rise?" Zhou Bing asked anxiously.
Brother Zhou pretended to pinch his fingers a few times, looked at the sky again, and said, "According to my calculations, it's almost there." ”
A few people looked at Chen Bing and laughed heartily.
After getting off the bridge, Brother Zhou took everyone to the salt farm, which used to be the place where salt was traded, but now the well salt has been replaced by sea salt, and the salt field has been idle. Although the development of Yanquan Town is lagging behind, the reinforced concrete buildings have sprung up like mushrooms after a rain, slowly replacing the original tile houses, and only here is the only place where the original appearance is still completely preserved, with blue brick and wood structure tile houses and bluestone slab floors. This is far from the center of the town, so there are no people on the street, only occasionally there is a sound of mahjong, the earth dog at the door lazily basking in the sun, seeing the living, slowly open his eyes to take a look, he is too lazy to care, and slowly close his eyes, continue to sleep.
"Snake-eating sex, isn't it color-eating, it's terrible to be uneducated." Chen Bing looked at a shop sign in front of him and said.
"I guess it's a snake meat shop." Xu Wu looked at it and said.
"Yes, this shop specializes in snake meat, and most of them are wild snakes caught by mountain people in the mountains." Zhou Damin said.
"Let's go, go in and have a look." Xu Wu took the lead and walked in, only to see pictures of various snakes hanging on the wall, with detailed instructions for eating, the closet was full of all kinds of snake wine, looking at those snakes that were almost soaked, thinking about the feeling of drinking in the mouth, Wu Jiao retched for a while, Xu Wu walked over and patted her on the back, and suddenly he found a familiar back, passed by him, and walked out of the store quickly.
Chen Bing saw Xu Wu staring at the door in a daze, so he grinned and said, "It's nothing, there are beautiful women at the door." ”
"I saw a man." Xu Wu said.
