On the evening of Friday, March 19, 2021, in a rented house in Chengdu.

"Why didn't you turn on the lights?" After a little extra work, Sun Han, who had just returned home, pushed open the door and saw the living room with black lights, pouted and asked.

turned on the light and saw Zhang Lan sitting on the sofa, holding her mobile phone, typing quickly. I couldn't help replying: "I just came back not long ago, there are a lot of WeChat messages, why don't you hurry back first, the lights are forgotten." You've just come back, huh? ”

"Yes", Sun Han changed his shoes and walked over to sit on the sofa. "Aren't I thinking about finishing the work quickly, and everything that can be prepared in advance is done quickly, the weekend is so busy, and the birthday is a serious matter, but don't talk about work."

Zhang Lan was still typing, and replied: "Yes, I think so too, I also worked overtime just now, I knew that you would also work overtime, so I would wait for you to come back together." ”

"Hey, it's okay, who are you talking to? This WeChat, one by one, is so tight. Sun Han put on a curious and even a little online melon eating expression, and asked teasingly.

“E

IC, he just suddenly sent a WeChat message, saying that he had rescheduled his business trip, and he was able to be in Chengdu this weekend, saying that he was going to celebrate my birthday. I'm talking to him, forget it, we've made an appointment, I don't dare to let your pigeons haha. ”

“E

IC is this business trip also so unscored? When the time came, it was suddenly said that there was a change again. But it's okay with me, you can go when you want, I can't stop your happiness. Sun Han said a little wistfully.

"If I release your pigeons, I won't dare to think about it, haha. But, to be honest, I didn't plan to talk to E

IC went out for this birthday. ”

Seeing Zhang Lan's sudden expression, Sun Han asked with some puzzlement: "What's wrong?" Have you two been swollen lately? This is often not seen, can there be any friction? Not really. ”

"It's not that there's any friction, it's actually not there, it's just that I think, he may just, I mean, he may not be the same person, you can understand, right?"

Although what Zhang Lan said was very vague, Sun Han immediately understood. "You know what you mean, you've said it more than once before. I originally thought that it would depend on time, and maybe there would be some turnaround, after all, he is not a bad person, didn't you say the same? ”

"Oh, yes." Zhang Lan sighed softly. "Maybe the two of us have some ideas, and we don't always agree. For example, as I said last time, he has always thought that as long as two people can chat occasionally and watch a movie together occasionally, it is already a very good state, and he firmly believes that such a state is the best state after marriage in the future, even if it doesn't seem to have any real feelings. But I'm always skeptical about what I said to him, and I always feel that if two people don't have too deep feelings, or are not sure if they have feelings for each other, then how can they get along. After all, after getting married, it's not the same as before marriage. ”

Faced with Zhang Lan's series of questions, Sun Han didn't know what to reply to, and suddenly seemed a little dumbfounded. I had to pause slightly, and then added: "I understand, it's okay, isn't this the way two people get along, the views are inconsistent, this is not a big problem, if you agree, you will come, if you don't agree, then you won't come, I don't think it's so responsible." ”

Seeing that Zhang Lan was still a little hesitant, Sun Han put on a smiling face again. "Oh, you said we shouldn't be thinking about how we're going to spend tomorrow night tonight? For example, where to eat, what to do after eating, and so on. Don't be distracted by other bad moods. Birthday, I still have to have a good time. Besides, you said that the two of us have been back to China for a long time, and this is the first time we have a birthday together, how rare! ”

Zhang Lan finally squeezed out a slightly doting smile, but when she said this, she pretended to be a little helpless, "Okay, okay, I will listen to you about my birthday." You've always been good at it. Well, I guess, you must have chosen the right place. ”

"Definitely. I'm just waiting for you to say that haha. Anyway, leave it to me, you can rest assured. Sun Han smiled and replied with confidence.

On Saturday, March 20, 2021, in the ancient town of Huanglongxi near Chengdu.

Time has mottled the wall, and it is true that it cannot erase the feelings of Huanglongxi.

The ancient wall has always been a place that can give birth to many stories, and some people chiseled the wall to steal a beam of light, living up to the ideals of half a life; Some people are not afraid of the powerful and the etiquette, and meet their lovers on the wall. One wall after another in the ancient town, I have listened to many secrets, and I have seen thousands of great sorrows, or great joys, as well as countless small things in the market. Although the walls can't speak, the records on this mottled wall are naturally history.

"I really didn't expect you to pull me to do the subway and reverse it so early in the morning." Finally came to Huanglongxi, Zhang Lan hurriedly said such a sentence.

"Please, your birthday today, Sister Lan Lan, how can I let you drive over. Besides, with reversing, it's only 2 hours in total, and if you drive, it's almost an hour and a half, and it's not close. Sun Han replied with a smile on his face.

"Well, it's not bad, this is a well-known ancient water town." Sun Han seemed to be a little proud that he had selected a very well-known and beautiful place, and said a little arrogantly.

"Let's two, who is a native of Chengdu. The places you picked, they're all pretty good haha. ”

"Are you a local?" Sun Han asked with a smile. "You didn't live in Chengdu when you were a child, you're almost a Canton person, so let's not talk about anyone, it's almost the same."

Walking in the ancient town of Huanglongxi, passing through the sound of children playing in the water, the sound of street vendors, and the noise in your ears gradually quieted down, you came to the three famous old streets of Huanglongxi: Zhengjie, Fuxing Street, and Xiahe Street.

At first glance, these three old streets are no different from other streets, but if you are a particularly meticulous tourist, you will quickly find that the buildings, trees, and even the streets themselves seem to have been gently rubbed by time, leaving traces of time.

"What kind of faction building is this house? Why does it look like the Hui School, but not quite like it? Zhang Lan asked with some confusion.

"The western Sichuan folk houses are eclectic and incorporate the architectural styles of the Hui School, southern Fujian, Jiangxi, Huguang and other places." Sun Han seemed to be a very professional reply.

"Isn't it? You even know these architectural styles, and I really have to be impressed with you haha. Zhang Lan said with a smile of disbelief.

"It's not that I really know how to do it, it's not because of research, there was a project last time that involved the style of western Sichuan houses, and I still have some impressions."

"The small bridge and flowing water Taoyuan home, the pink wall and the horse head wall." The ancient town is lined with horse-head walls that separate the endless houses.

Horse-head wall, specifically refers to the wall wall that is higher than the roof of the two gables, that is, the top part of the gable. Because the shape resembles a horse's head, it is called "horse's head wall", which can meet the needs of dense fire prevention and wind prevention in the house. The horse-head wall is an important feature of Gan style architecture and Hui school architecture, and plays an important role in the classical architecture of Jiangnan in the traditional Chinese residential architecture school.

The horse head wall in the ancient town of Huanglongxi was built in the last years of the Qing Dynasty. Washed by rain and snow, weathered and abrasive, the years have not given Huanglongxi special treatment.

However, after a hundred years, the horse-head wall is still standing, only the mottled and peeling wall skin shows the wind and frost it has experienced. The white walls and green tiles are bright and elegant. The staggered, black and white horse-head wall makes people get a kind of bright, elegant and layered rhythmic beauty enjoyment.

The horse head wall of Huanglongxi has become a very ornamental art wall.

Walking in the main street of Huanglongxi, the Gulong Temple, Zhenjiang Temple, and Chaoyin Temple scattered in the south, north, and middle form a temple in the street, a temple in the street, and a strange landscape of three temples in one street. Through the shouts of the hawkers, you can even roughly sketch in your mind what kind of prosperous scene this place was a hundred years ago.

Walking through the ancient streets of Huanglongxi, you will occasionally notice the alleys sprawling on both sides of the street, stretching towards the long river that runs through the town.

Wandering around the ancient town, no matter which path you go to, you will see the streets paved with red stones, the pavilions with wooden pillars and green tiles, and the beautifully carved railings and window lattices, all of which give people a simple and quiet feeling.

Stop-and-go, follow the strategy, and finally find all the six big banyan trees in the town that are more than 1,000 years old, with lush branches and leaves, covering the sky and the sun, majestic and heavy, adding a lot of aura to the ancient town.

The winding path, there are many small restaurants on both sides of the street, most of them float in front of the door with a wine flag with white characters on a blue background, what "Yuxiangzi", "Lu Huitou", "Tang Crisp Shop" and so on, constantly dancing in the wind to attract customers.

"What are we going to eat? You won't find it all in advance, will you? Seeing that the time was approaching noon, Zhang Lan pointed to the shops on both sides of the path and asked.

"Find a place to order, and then hire a boat. It's called having a plan, and there are changes that can be updated and iterated at any time. Sun Han raised her eyebrows, in fact, she naturally knew it in her heart, so she couldn't help but say something, so she pulled Zhang Lan into a store.

"Burnt elbows, pearl bean curd, scrambled eggs with wild vegetables, stir-fried wild gray cabbage...... I want all of them." As soon as Sun Han sat down, he took the initiative to order food.

"It doesn't have to be so much, right? Can you eat it? ”

"It's not much, no problem, I'm tired this morning, of course you can eat more at noon, besides, the amount of food here doesn't seem to be particularly large, let's eat, it should be about the same." That's all, don't worry about the others. ”

It's a great pleasure to hire a boat and bring all sorts of delicious treats on board. Boating on the river, while tasting, while enjoying the scenery on both sides. The swaying boat, when you are full of wine and food, just arrive at the Big Buddha Temple, you can go ashore for an excursion.

"Did you follow the strategy for this arrangement? Are the guides written in such detail now? Zhang Lan asked admiringly.

"Anyway, of course, I still have to check a few more strategies.,I'll integrate it.,How about it.,It's a good arrangement today.。 Let's go shopping first, the boatman is waiting outside, play here for a while, and then go back to the ancient town. I also booked the hotel for the night. ”

"It's so happy to follow you out."

"It's because you're on your birthday, so of course I'll have to put some thought into it." Sun Han replied a little arrogantly.

"Got it, I know you're the best, haha. Oh, then when you're on your birthday tomorrow, I'm Alexander's. Zhang Lan smiled and muttered again.

"I don't care, I'll see you tomorrow. I'm going to enjoy it one day. ”
