Season 2 Monsoon Chapter 8 Ancient Street
There was a vehicle scraping accident at the street entrance, and the two car owners refused to give in to each other, and the thick necks of the dispute were tendoned. I don't know where these two are so angry, the traffic police are here, and the two of them are still chattering and chattering endlessly.
I leaned back on the car and watched quietly, and I actually didn't care about the excitement. It's just that I really didn't dare to move the car easily, and my helpless mouth and greedy stomach tied my legs.
People are probably weak in their hearts after doing something wrong, right? It's like when I drink alcohol and don't dare to move the car when I see the traffic police, even if most of the traffic police don't check the car in this case. It's just that I'm alone right now, and I can't really do anything. More importantly, I didn't want anything to ruin my trip.
Looking around, I saw the word inn from afar.
"Why don't you just stay nearby?" Thinking that I wouldn't be able to go anyway, I walked towards the guesthouse hidden in the side street.
The inn is not big, but it is clean and elegantly kept. There was no one at the front desk, so I knocked on the front desk and said hello.
"Accommodation? Wait a minute..."A sweet female voice came from the back room.
"Oh," I replied, but my eyes were drawn to the wind chimes hanging from the roof. I don't think I've seen a wind chime in a long time. I remember when I was in middle school, once I had a birthday, and a classmate gave me a wind chime as a birthday present. It's just that many years have passed, and that wind chime has long since disappeared. What can be left is a little memory of youth.
A gust of wind blew in, the wind chimes swayed gently, and a crisp and graceful sound sounded.
"Hello!" A young girl with long, half-dried hair and the scent of shampoo came out of the back room.
"Hello!" I say.
"Accommodation?"
"That's right!"
"Alone?"
"Hmm..."
"Oh... Alas~ you? The girl looked at me with a special surprise in her eyes, "You look so familiar, have you lived with me before?" ”
I smiled and shook my head, "No, it's the first time here." ”
"Oh, that's probably my mistake. But you look familiar. ”
"The world is so big and there are so many people, it's inevitable to hit your face. What's more, I look so plain again. ”
"Hehehe~ You talk so funny. But it's not what you said, I really see that you have a sense of intimacy, a feeling of meeting a long-lost brother. ”
"Maybe it's called the edge of the eye."
"Hehe, it should be~ Come, give me my ID card, and I'll register you."
A gust of wind came, and the wind chimes rang again. I looked at the jingling wind chimes and was a little fascinated.
"Visiting Tianzhen?"
"Huh? Ask me? ”
"Haha, of course. There's no third person here, don't ask who you ask? ”
"Sort of. This wind chime is so nice. ”
"What do you mean?"
"That's right."
"Okay. Give you the key, Tianzi No. 1 room. ”
"You're funny enough, it's still the No. 1 room of Tianzi, the imperial examination? What room is Tianzi No. 1? I took my ID and keys and asked with a smile.
"Hey, hey, hey~ It's room 101. The journey is hard, go and rest, just next to this room. ”
"Thanks! Alas, by the way, I have one more thing I want to trouble you. ”
"Say it! What's the matter? ”
"My car is still parked on the side of the road in front of me, I'm too drunk to move the car, can you help me drive over?"
"Meaningless, give me the car keys, and you can leave the rest to me. What is the license plate number? ”
"Tail number 9508, black Volkswagen off-roader, please!"
"It's okay!"
When I entered the room and lay down on the bed, the fatigue of the day's driving hit me instantly.
……
"Alas~alas!"
In a daze, I felt a hand patting me. When I opened my eyes, I saw the girl at the front desk standing in front of me with a pair of curious eyes.
"Well, the car keys are for you."
I wiped the saliva from the corner of my mouth and took the key.
"Thank you!"
"You're welcome. Alas, you're good enough. I fell asleep after a while. Tell me, where did you learn this kind of second sleep, can you teach me? Also, why don't you close the door when you sleep? ”
I smiled and said, "What kind of kung fu, I haven't slept like this in almost twenty years." I don't know what's wrong today, maybe I'm too tired, right? Lie down and go. Alas? How long have I been sleeping? ”
"Hmm~ ten minutes at most!"
"Oh, what a 10-minute sleep. It's been a long time since I've slept so soundly. I stood up, stretched my arms, and stretched wide.
"Hahaha~ Then you go back to sleep, I won't bother you. Remember, be sure to lock the door! Otherwise, I won't be responsible for losing something. ”
"Got it, thank you! Well...... I also slept enough, stopped sleeping, and went out for a walk. What's there to do around here? Recommend it. ”
"Hmm... There is an old street called to visit the ancient Buddha. You can go around there. ”
"Visit Gufo Street, what a special name. What's on the street? ”
"You'll know if you're there."
"That's right, okay, then go to Gufo Street."
"But it's a little late now, and if you're going to go, you'd better go tomorrow. Now it's almost dark, and there's nothing left to see on the streets. ”
"It's good to see the night view......"
"There is no night scene, it is an old street, it is the kind of old street that has not been packaged by modern commercialization, and there are not a few street lights, so it is still quite old. When I went at night, it was dark everywhere, and I felt a little crazy. ”
"Oh? Sounds special. ”
"yes, it's special."
In a modern city, an old street like this is a rarity that is not packaged by commerce. I don't know what the local government is thinking about not developing this old street into a tourist attraction. Maybe it's the protection of the old street, maybe it's planned but not implemented, maybe it's because this old street is called "Visiting the Ancient Buddha", so it shouldn't be over-packaged.
"Okay." I thought for a moment and said, "Listen to you, then I'll go again tomorrow." Well...... What snacks do you have here? Recommend it. ”
"Braised tofu, our braised tofu here is delicious."
"Have you eaten the dried tofu, is there anything else?"
"Hmm...... The iron pot stewed noodles at the entrance of the street are also good. ”
"Okay, then go eat the iron pot stewed noodles."
"Hmm~ Then if you want to go, let's fight a pot, otherwise you won't be able to eat alone. And I just want to eat it. ”
"Okay!"
"But I have to look at the store, so I have to ask you to help me pack and bring one back." As for the money, I'll give you a discount from the room rate. ”
"No need, it's just a bowl of noodles, I'll invite you."
"That's so embarrassing."
"What's so embarrassing about that?"
"Okay, then I'll be embarrassed once, remember, pork rib noodles."
……
I searched for a long time to find the noodle restaurant that the little girl said, and after ordering, the waiter told me that it would take half an hour to get out of the pot. I am a person who can't sit still, so I remembered what the little girl said about visiting Gufo Street, if the ancient street is close to here, maybe I can take advantage of this gap to go around.
When I asked the waiter again, the ancient street was really close to here.
I explained to the waitress, and then I followed the path she showed me to explore the ancient street.
After walking through two blocks and through an alley, I stood at the corner of Antique Street.
As far as the eye can see, the lights in the ancient street are dim, and there are almost no pedestrians. This scene reminds me of the street scene in the movie "Mr. Zombie". Not to mention, entering such a dilapidated ancient street at night is really a bit panicked.
After a moment's hesitation, I decided not to go in.
Turned back to the noodle shop, picked up the steamed noodles for two, and went straight back to the inn.
"Huh? How did you pack it back? The innkeeper asked with a smile.
"I don't think it's appropriate for me to eat hot and let you eat cold, so I just packed it up and brought it back."
"Haha...... A good person, Brother Tian Yu! In that case, let's go together. Alas, by the way, I call you that, right? ”
"Hmm...... OK. But...... How did you know my name? ”
"ID card...... I just registered you. ”
"Yes, yes, look at me stupid."
"I don't know why, but I felt very kind when I saw you, and I hope my words don't seem too presumptuous."
"Oh, it's okay, acquaintance is fate."
"Let's eat!"
"Good!"
She cleaned up the coffee table, set up the lunch box, and then pulled out a delicate little bowl from the drawer.
"Anyone else?" I asked, looking at the small bowl.
"Hey, there's a little Lori." After saying this, she went into the back room and took out a little girl who was four or five years old.
When the little girl saw me, her big eyes were full of curiosity. But after a while, she became acquainted.
"I didn't expect you to be quite a child...... "Seeing the little girl having fun with her, she laughed and teased.
"Hmm...... In fact, I have always been treated more by two kinds of people. ”
"What two kinds of people?"
"One is an old lady, and the other is this little Lori."
"Haha, what about a woman in her prime like me?"
I smiled and didn't answer the question.
