Section 68 What kind of person is Black Pearl?
The next morning, the birds chirped, and the sun shone red through the clouds, and through the gaps in the curtains, shining on the lazy bed.
Xuanxuan and I got up, went to the front desk on the first floor to settle the bill, ate breakfast, and re-embarked on the journey.
As soon as the car started, the screen of the navigator lit up again in a gradual manner, and Fan Xiaoxiao's somewhat tired voice flew out of it: Sister, remember my words, even if you elope with a man, you have to go home often. Mom and Dad, and my brother, will worry about you.
Xuanxuan looked at me, her face turned red, and said, don't pay attention to him, this dead man. She didn't call Fan Xiaoxiao a little trouble, but scolded him for being a dead person.
Before he finished speaking, the navigation screen's display went black again.
Before leaving the hotel, I asked the waiter at the front desk for directions to the Golden Town. The waiter said he didn't know. I also said that it is the golden town of Wuling Mountain. The waiter still said he didn't know. Xuan Xuan took my hand and said, don't ask. After speaking, he lit up his phone at me and said, "It's okay to have this."
Xuan Xuan connected the mobile phone to the Internet, clicked on the map search function, entered the end of the car, the mobile phone began to automatically navigate, relying on its guidance, my hands and feet also became very confident, the speed of the car is also a lot faster than yesterday, by noon, I drove into the golden town built by the mountains, crossed by a river.
The car went to the edge of the town, and came to an antique street, Xuanxuan saw that the façade on the street was all wood carved copper carvings, hanging plaques, the stone slabs on the ground were neat and bright, all kinds of antiques in the façade were dazzling, and there were very soil seedling costumes, and there were some mountain goods and non-staple foods that had never been seen before, and I felt curious, so I asked me to pull over. He took me by the hand and went to play on the street, bought some sesame sugar crisp fruits, mountain delicacies and wild fruits, and ate them in his hands.
I thought I'd hurry back to the Golden Town Orphanage. asked Shen's mother about her life experience, and urged her to do business first.
She agreed with a mum in her mouth, but she took me by the hand and walked forward vigorously, as if she were going to see the town all day long, and I could not interrupt her interest at once because she had worked hard to accompany me all the way to this remote country. I had to be patient. She walked for half a time and saw a small stall on the side of the road. It is said to be a stall, but it is actually a small copper car with four wheels. On the roof of the car is an antique cloth canopy, carrying a pennant with the words: Ding Dong wine. In the middle of the car was a round cylinder chiseled from a stone with clear water. But there are wild fruits and mountain flowers such as red dates, chestnuts, grapes, wolfberries, lotus seeds, and seven-star flowers floating on the water. There are two pieces of green lotus on the cylinder mouth, which can be regarded as blocking some dust.
Xuan Xuan walked there, smelled a clear aroma of wine, and saw that the name on the pennant was strange, unheard of, unseen, so he pointed to the quaint and fresh stone jar, and asked the man standing next to the stone jar. What's inside?
The man had a colored silk handkerchief wrapped around his head and was wearing a cardigan. There was a pair of wood-bottomed grass on his feet, he glanced at me, his eyes were wide open, his lips were squirming and he wanted to speak, and he turned his head to see me holding Xuan Xuan's hand in his hand, and wiped his forehead suspiciously, and opened his mouth widely, looking at Xuan Xuan in great amazement, as if he had seen a fairy as beautiful as a fox demon.
I stretched out my palm and patted him on the shoulder, and he came back to his senses, quickly bent down, picked up a bamboo tube, opened the green lotus at the mouth of the cylinder, and stretched out into the cylinder to bring out a tube of shiny wine syrup, but his eyes were nailed to Xuanxuan's body.
Xuanxuan saw that the man looked at him as if he was fascinated, giggled twice, took the bamboo tube from his hand, put it in front of him, and saw that in addition to the wild fruits and wild fruits in the wine, there were also some black ants floating, and he was scared in his heart, and pointed to the sesame grains, and asked if this was an ant?
The middle-aged man with a colorful silk handkerchief on his head rolled his throat, swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and said, this is our Tujia smacking wine, and the black rice produced in the mountains is floating on it, which is sun-dried into yin rice and sprinkled in the wine to taste. As he spoke, he inserted a bamboo branch into the bamboo tube containing the syrup.
Xuan Xuan didn't know the use of the bamboo branch, so she took it in her hand and took a closer look.
The man said, this is a straw, drink wine, you have to use it so that you won't inhale those mountain fruits and black rice, so that you will have the freshness and sweetness of bamboo.
Xuanxuan saw that the bamboo branch was really hollow, so she put the top of the bamboo branch on her cherry lips, took a sip gently, and immediately her eyebrows fluttered, let go of the cherry mouthful, and kept praising it, well, delicious, delicious, so delicious!
I said in my heart, according to my experience, most of the wine in the mountains is high-grain wine, which must be spicy and stimulating, burning the throat and burning the stomach, why Xuanxuan didn't even frown, and couldn't help but wonder, is this wine?
Xuan Xuan'e raised her eyebrows and said, it's wine! He handed me the syrup, "You taste it!" ”
I took a small sip of the rice grains of the bamboo branches, took a small sip, and then I felt that the wine was as sweet as honey, clear as a spring, and the wine was strong, but it was not heartburning.
The man turned his head to look at me, and said unhappily, Zuo Yan, what are you pretending to be, you have drunk this wine hundreds of times, why don't you pretend to know it now.
I heard him call my name suddenly, as if it were my old acquaintance, and I couldn't help but wonder, hey, this brother, how do you know my name?
The man sneered and said, count three and don't see it, you really forgot your book. Turning around and pointing to an antique shop, he said, "Look at it, do you still recognize this place?"
I followed his finger and saw the antique shop behind him, the door was locked, and a pair of tiger-shaped copper buttons hung from the door, which had been rusted, and the Chinese squares carved from mahogany were covered with cobwebs, apparently unopened for many years. Thinking about this shop carefully, there are only some afterimage fragments flashing in my mind, and I can't connect a complete picture, I seem to recognize the shop, but I don't seem to recognize the shop, so I asked the man, whose shop is this, why is it dusty and full of cobwebs?
The man laughed and said, you are so funny, this shop is yours, you don't know where to drift for a few years, and you even forgot your family business?
I looked at Xuan Xuan, and Xuan Xuan also looked at me inexplicably.
The man looked at me, then at Xuanxuan, and said with a sinking face, even his wife has changed, what is this family business? What I don't understand is that you cultural people are really a team, since you have asked for another wife outside, what are you doing when you come back?
I was about to ask the man again about my wife, but Xuan Xuan pinched him on the arm, threw the bamboo tube on the umbrella on the surface of the cylinder angrily, shook his head, and walked forward.
I said in my heart, did I really have a wife before I lost my memory? Seeing Xuanxuan walking away, he hurriedly chased her.
When I chased after her, I patted her on the shoulder. She didn't look back and said, she knew that if she came to this hellish place, nothing good would happen, but she blamed myself for being stupid.
I said, there are some things that I am not hostile to, you have to blame me, I can't help it.
She was silent for a long time, and then smiled at me again, "But, I already knew about you, I just didn't say it, and now that you know, I don't care, because we fell in love long before that black pearl."
I asked curiously, what black pearls?
She said, "You'll know when you go."
I remembered the words of the Tujia man with a colorful silk handkerchief on his head, and asked, is that black pearl from here?
Xuan Xuan raised a finger, pretended to be a pistol, pointed at my temple, and said, Have you really forgotten that woman? Frankly.
I turned my head around and said, "I really don't have an impression."
Xuan Xuan put down her fingers, the corners of her mouth went up, and said to herself, Hey, I want to see what that woman looks like today, and she actually hooked the flame into her hand. (To be continued......)
