Chapter 209: Ancient Town Rendezvous

Long Xian didn't have classes in the afternoon, and the work in the research group was not particularly urgent, so he went out by himself in the afternoon.

She made an appointment with Wu Wei to meet.

This is also the time benefit of going to graduate school.

Two people, one doctor and one master.

Scientific research activities can be arranged more flexibly, even on weekdays, you can also arrange half a day to come to the appointment.

After two subway transfers, Long Xian came to an ancient town in the west of the imperial capital, which has been newly developed into a tourist attraction.

However, on weekday afternoons, there are not many people.

When she came to the archway at the entrance of the ancient town, Wu Wei was already standing there waiting for her.

Long Xian, who had always been frosty, saw Wu Wei, his face seemed to be melted by a smile in an instant, and his eyes flashed with happiness.

She changed from the calm that she was walking slowly, and suddenly turned into a cheerful bird, eager to fly in front of Wu Wei immediately.

Wu Wei grinned stupidly and waited for her with open arms.

Long Xian's face quickly turned red, but despite this, she just threw her head down and plunged into his arms.

The two hugged tightly.

No one had the intention of letting go.

Against the backdrop of the colorful quaint archway, the white shoes and black hair of the two are very clean.

attracted frequent sideways glances from passers-by......

Finally, the two people were reluctant to separate, but their eyes were still tightly connected.

"Have you waited a long time?" Long Xian asked.

"It's okay, I've just arrived." Wu Wei couldn't help but help her stroke a strand of long hair on her forehead behind her ear, and her eyes were full of overflowing love.

Long Xian smiled again, hugged Wu Wei, and kept his head on his shoulder.

"Shop first?"

"Hmm."

The two hugged each other and walked into the street market of the ancient town.

Long Xian took two steps, remembered one thing, and asked, "Is the hotel room open?" ”

Wu Wei glanced down at her, "It's ready." ”

After a pause, he asked, "Do you want to ...... Go now? ”

Long Xian's footsteps stopped.

Looking up at him, his face was as red as the sky was red.

"You can't wait?"

Long Xian turned out to be really asking Wu Wei seriously.

A drop of sweat slipped down Wu Wei's temple.

"Haha, no, no, no, I can't wait......" Wu Wei could only use a smirk to hide the embarrassment on his face, "Didn't we say that we would visit the ancient town first, it's good ......"

Long Xian didn't speak, and looked at him with wide eyes for a long time.

Finally, she seemed to confirm what Wu Wei said sincerely, and finally continued to walk forward with him.

"I thought you ......"

"Of course not!"

Long Xian walked sullenly for a while, and then said, "If you really want to, I can actually do it......"

This time, Wu Wei stopped and looked at Long Xian's face in a daze.

Long Xian didn't notice it for a while, and only stopped after a moment to look at him.

Wu Wei seemed to suddenly realize, "Xian'er, don't you want to ......"

"You!" Long Xian's eyes suddenly flickered.

She raised her hand and straightened out her slightly messy bangs to hide her panic and shyness.

"What do you say, I don't have it!"

"Oh, I think too much......" Wu Wei hurriedly apologized.

The two walked slowly and took a look, walking on the bluestone road of the old street of the ancient town, but there was a feeling of being in a paradise.

Long Xian stopped in front of a booth with a mahogany comb.

She looked carefully at the peach wood combs on display, picked up the combs one by one and carefully selected them.

Wu Wei also squatted down beside her with interest, and casually picked up a peach comb to look at.

"Like a mahogany comb?"

Wu Wei picked up the long-handled peach comb in his hand and put it next to Long Xian's hair, compared it, nodded and said, "It is indeed very suitable for you." Shall I buy you a comb with one of these long handles? ”

Long Xian took the long-handled comb from Wu Wei's hand, looked at it slightly, and put it down.

"I have one of these."

"Oh......"

Wu Wei was not particularly good at picking this kind of thing, so he didn't make his own decisions, and watched Long Xian continue to choose in front of the stall.

Finally, Long Xian picked out a dark brown stalkless comb.

"I bought this for you."

"Huh? Give me? Wu Wei subconsciously touched the round inch on his head.

"My hair...... I haven't used a comb in a long time......"

Wu Wei is telling the obvious truth.

Long Xian covered his mouth and smiled.

Then he insisted on stuffing the comb to him.

"You can grow your hair." She looked at Wu Wei's hair standing on end and said, "If you keep your hair long, it should be fine......

"Yes......" Wu Wei touched his hair again, and couldn't help but imagine what he looked like with long hair.

Isn't that the ...... Long hair that has to shake your head every ten seconds so that your bangs don't block your view?

Wu Wei looked at the image in his mind and felt that he didn't know himself anymore.

In the blink of an eye, Long Xian had already finished paying.

"You have to put it away, and when your hair grows in the future, you need to comb your hair often." Long Xian instructed him.

"Oh......" Wu Wei was a little unconfident, not knowing if he could hold on to his hair until it really grew long.

He always felt that he would push it off after his hair had just grown a little bit.

At least that's how he is now.

But since it was bought by Long Xian, he still carefully put the comb into the box provided by the store and put it in the schoolbag.

Dingdingding......

There was a crisp and pleasant wind chime in front of me.

"Draw a Candy Man......"

Long Xian pulled Wu Wei over and looked curiously.

This is a stall where candy men are painted.

In the middle of the stall is a snow-white marble slab coated with a light layer of oil.

On the left side of the slate is a large turntable, on which a circle of various birds, beasts, insects and fish are drawn, among which a large dragon soaring through the clouds is particularly conspicuous.

On the right side of the slate is a small copper pot with heated and melted syrup, and a small red copper soup spoon made by hand on the side of the pot, which the shopkeeper occasionally stirs with the syrup.

The syrup was dark red, viscous and crystalline, and looking at the vortex formed by the stirring, it gave people an inexplicable sense of happiness.

Long Xian looked at the candy man patterns that the store had already made, and was a little reluctant to leave.

Wu Wei also found it quite interesting.

It's a game he used to play as a kid.

As soon as the big turntable turned, he pointed to a pattern, and the store could draw it for him with syrup, and in addition to novelty and amazement, he took a bite of the solidified sugar cube, and his mouth was full of sweetness.

Later, I don't know when, I never saw this kind of craftsman again.

Wu Wei thought, maybe he entered high school and began to study day and night.

In fact, in any evolved metropolis, such crafts are slowly leaving at the same time.

Therefore, in today's Guzhen Market, it is indeed an unexpected surprise to encounter your favorite things from childhood again.

"Strings, turn one!"

"Hmm...... May I? ”

"Of course, let's turn one! I've loved playing this since I was a kid, so you should help me get one. ”

Long Xian smiled and nodded, "Okay, I'll turn one." ”

The shopkeeper looked at them with a smile, "Turn five yuan once, turn to what pattern to paint, and wish the little girl to turn to Dalong." ”

Long Xian glanced back at Wu Wei and whispered, "Five yuan, it feels a bit expensive......

Wu Wei also quietly bit his ear with Long Xian, "When I was a child, five corners, now five yuan, it is also a traditional folk skill, and it is still worth this money." ”

Long Xian thought about it, and Wu Wei was right.

It makes sense to support this rare skill, isn't it?

"That's good."

The dragon string gently pushes the hands of the turntable.

The hands whirred and swirled.

After seven or eight turns, the hand slows down and finally stops in front of a pattern.

Long Xian, Wu Wei, and the shopkeeper, all three of them opened their mouths wide and looked stunned......

It turned out to be a big dragon!
