Sanhua Niangniang's Modern Travel (I)
Lingquan City, Yizhou Province, Qingbai Airport.
In the waiting room sat an extremely beautiful girl.
The girl looks youthful, and so is the dress, a loose sweatshirt with a hood and pockets, equally loose and comfortable pants, and what is striking is that she wears a pair of headphones on her head, with a pair of cat ears as decoration, which shows more youth and agility.
Perhaps obsessed with music, the girl has a delicate little face and can't see any expression.
Cold, focused.
A quaint brocade bag next to him is incompatible with the whole environment, but it is also somewhat in line with the retro style that has become popular in recent years, which looks simple and soft.
"Buzz~"
The girl took one hand out of her coat pocket and pulled out a small cell phone.
Old Ya'er Taoist: Where are you?
The girl raised her head, still with a small face, looked around, bowed her head expressionlessly, and began to type.
Sanhua Niangniang: It's time to the airport
"Buzz~"
Taoist priest Lao Ya'er: It's good to experience it
Lao Ya'er Taoist: Tell me when you arrive in Langzhou
After reading the news, Sanhua Niangniang put her phone back in her pocket, sighed slightly with a straight face, continued to look around, and at the same time took off the noise-canceling headphones on her head-
"...... Boom"
The noise around suddenly poured into my ears, like a wave, and resounded.
On the evening flight, there were a lot of people sitting in the waiting room, some people were complaining about the delay, some people were talking on the phone to explain to people, some people were asking the airport staff when the plane would arrive and asking for compensation, and their ears were filled with the sound of conversation, the crying of children, and the roar of planes taking off and landing outside.
It's noisy.
Sanhua Niangniang is still expressionless.
Not only noisy, but also late.
I knew that I would have bought first class in pain.
No, if you really knew it early, you would sit on your own crane, and that one doesn't need money.
Why don't you experience it......
The experience was not good at all.
At this moment, there was a little movement next to her, and it was the child's subtle whisper that attracted her attention.
The girl twisted her head.
Sitting next to a mother and son, the mother was dressed gently and generously, sitting very patiently, the child looked like four or five years old, and she was not noisy, but leaned on her to sleep soundly.
"Uh-huh~~"
The child slowly opened his eyes.
The little cub's eyes were clear and translucent, like black gems, and he was still a little confused when he woke up, twisting his head and looking around.
"Mom, hasn't the plane come yet?"
"Woke up? Not yet here."
"I'm so thirsty!"
"Thirsty? Mommy is going to pour you water."
"I can't move my legs! It hurts!"
"Are your legs numb? Wait a minute, Mommy will pour you water first, don't move around."
The woman got up with the water glass and left, leaving the child to sit alone in the seat, with a look on her face that she had just woken up and a little uncomfortable with numbness in her legs.
As if sensing the girl's gaze, he rubbed his eyes and turned his head to meet the girl's eyes.
Good-looking people are born with attractive eyes, and they are born with more affinity, especially for children - this child is also well-behaved, sitting without crying or making trouble, just twisting his head, looking at each other with the Sanhua Niang next to him, sometimes stopping at her face and eyes, sometimes looking down slightly, looking at the cat ear headphones hanging around her neck, leaving only one hand to slightly rub her numb legs.
And seeing him, somehow, it seems to evoke the long-term memories of Sanhua Niangniang.
That was a long time ago.
For a long, long time......
The girl's eyes flickered.
When she met the child's clear, dark eyes again, she hesitated, and then said, "I know a good cure for numb legs."
The sound is the kind that will be very pleasing to children.
"What's the solution?"
The child was almost defenseless against her.
"The numbness in your legs is because you sleep with sand in your legs, and it's a lot of little dots that move, so you can stand up, stomp your feet, and shake them out."
"Huh?"
The girl looks reasonable.
The girl's words sounded very reasonable.
That's exactly what it is.
The child looked at her for two seconds, finally held on to the chair, slowly stood up from the seat, and then, with the help of her eyes, without hesitation, lifted the numb leg and stepped on the ground hard.
"Bang!"
"Oops!"
A clear cry of pain attracted the attention of many people around, and the passengers twisted their heads in unison.
The girl twisted her head back in satisfaction.
Comfortable.
After a while, when the child was crying in pain, she turned her head back and blew softly on the childβ
"Hoo ......"
"Huh?"
The child was stunned.
Suddenly it didn't hurt.
It's not numb anymore.
At the same time, his mother also walked back, holding a glass of water in her hand, blowing as she walked, came and sat next to him, and asked with concern:
"What happened just now?"
The child didn't answer, just leaned over to drink water, while still twisting his head, squinting his eyes, and quietly staring at the Sanhua Niangniang next to him.
"Boom ......"
A plane landed slowly, and it was long overdue.
Finally boarded.
With the exception of First Class, the seats in the cabin are divided into left and right aisles with three seats in each row.
Sanhua Niangniang bought a window seat, and coincidentally, the mother and son were sitting next to her.
Although she didn't choose a window seat, the mother also wanted her young child to see the scenery on the clouds, so she let the child sit next to the seat of Sanhua Niangniang, so that a little probe could also see out the window.
"Buzz ......"
The plane slowly lifted off again.
A sense of weightlessness made many people uncomfortable for a while, but the girl's face still did not fluctuate, only occasionally squinting her eyes and quietly glancing at the child next to her, and naturally withdrew her gaze.
The plane flew higher and higher, and soon passed the clouds.
The ground was already dark, but above the clouds there was still light, clouds like cotton undulating, convex and sky-light, shadows in the recesses, and a touch of burning red in the west.
It is inconvenient to play with mobile phones on the plane, and it is late, many people are gradually falling asleep, but the children around them have just slept and are not sleepy at all, but full of energy.
But his mother was very cultivated, and kept talking to him in a whisper, telling him stories that would be of interest to children of his age, and listening to him tell him about his newly learned treatment for leg numbness, so as to calm him down and not disturb others.
The girl was still staring out the window.
The gentle voice of the mother beside her kept coming into her ears, gradually talking about what she was interested in.
"When we get off the plane and arrive in Lan'an, not only can we see the sea, but we can also go to the beach, the sea, and the island to play! I heard that in ancient times, there were many strange places and strange things on the sea, such as yakshas, monsters, and gods......
"I know there's a youkai!"
"Be quiet......
"What is a Nakshatra?"
The child lowered his voice noticeably, and even in the quiet cabin, it did not appear obtrusive.
"Legend has it that in the sea of Langzhou, after going out to sea, not far away, there is an island country, called the Yaksha country, and the people who live on it are all people who look like ghosts and monsters, tall and strong, with green faces and fangs, and they are called Yakshas."
"Really?"
"Of course. So when you get to the island, you must not mess with your mother behind your back
Run, in case you meet the Yaksha. You can't be disobedient, because the Yaksha likes to catch disobedient children and catch them and eat them." The mother also lowered her voice and said, "In addition to the Yaksha, legend has it that there is also Lilliputians on the sea, and the people in it are not as tall as chopsticks, but the cats and dogs are the same as before."
"Huh?"
"Those people can ride a mouse like a horse, a crab needs many people to fight together, and a fish can eat many people......
Mother spoke slowly.
The story of the sea is so wonderful.
In addition to the Yaksha and the villain, there are also cats, dogs, lobsters, big waves as high as mountains and dragons with thunder and lightning, gods and sharks, flying fish in the sky, and whales guiding the way, full of fun and childlike fun.
The child's eyes are open, and he is deeply attracted by the story, as if he already has a picture in his head.
From time to time, he turned his eyes and glanced at the beautiful young lady beside him, and quickly indulged in the stories told by his mother's gentle voice.
Sanhua Niangniang couldn't help but turn her head and look at them.
"Is all this true?"
The child couldn't believe it, but he wanted to believe it.
This feeling can be experienced by Sanhua Niangniang.
"It's the first time my mother has come to the beach, and she hasn't seen those things with her own eyes, but these stories, these wonderful experiences, are recorded in a book called 'Diary of a Heavenly Lady'." The mother's tone was still gentle and patient.
"What diary?"
"Tianqi means sea, which is a person's memory of going out to sea to play. But it's already from ancient times, and that man is also from ancient times." "There is a version of this book for children, with pictures, and when you know a few more words, you can buy a copy to read." It's even better to read it yourself."
Ancient times......
People of ancient times......
The girl sitting next to her was in a trance.
Sounds so far away.
"You should know the white rhino god by the sea, there are so many TV dramas and cartoons, and now it is also the most worshiped god by people in the coastal areas of our country. According to scientists' research, this book is also the first to mention the 'white rhino god' in all the current records, and also talks about the origin of the 'white rhino god'." The mother paused, "I don't know if the book is true or not, and I don't know if the magical country in the story is real or fake, but when I get to Langzhou, I can't say that the white rhino god is fake, but the people over there have to ask the white rhino god's opinion on everything."
It should be a literary scholar and historian to study the evidence......
The girl next to her thought.
Wonderful, wonderful......
Today, the two-headed white rhinoceros has become a well-known and widely active deity in major literary masterpieces, film and television animations.
"Who wrote that book?"
"I don't know anymore." The mother shook her head, "Some say it was written by a Taoist priest, some say it was written by a child, anyway, in this book, the author seems to think of himself as a monster."
"Youkai? Really?"
"Anyway, this book is interesting, but it's interesting, it's interesting and special, and all children and adults should read it. Xingyue should work hard to read it quickly so that she can read it quickly."
"Oh......"
"Tianyi Diary", one of the famous books of the Yan Dynasty, although it has gone through several later turmoil and reforms, ups and downs, but because the time of writing is close to the contemporary era and widely circulated, the content is still very similar to the preservation. Unfortunately, due to the contempt of the ancients for miscellaneous books and their authors, the author's name was not retained, and only a few different versions remained.
The silence gradually fell silent.
The child named Xingyue fell into deep thought, or perhaps into boundless fantasies.
The girl also withdrew her gaze and continued to look out the window.
The sky is a little darker, but it seems that the west is getting more and more red, and the surging sea of clouds covers the earth, and between the two of them, no
I know how many miles I have traveled.
It seems that it has entered the territory of Langzhou.
"That's fast......
Sanhua Niangniang was still staring outside.
Back then, how long did it take for me and the Taoist priests, horses and swallows to walk to complete the part of the road, ordinary people are afraid that it will take longer, and there will be more difficulties and obstacles, but in this era, it is a place that ordinary people can reach so easily and quickly.
It's a completely different time.
But after thinking about it, isn't this the world that the Taoist priest told her about before, at the beginning, on the way to play, on a certain or a few boring nights?
There are also salt towers......
The girl still remembers.
Meals were distributed on the plane.
The girl chose a potato and beef rice and sweet soda, and the children around her did the same, and when she turned her head, she met the child's clear eyes and her mother's soft smile.
After a few small talks, they learned that each other was going to Langzhou to play, and the journey overlapped for two days, and the mother saw that she was alone and her own children seemed to like her very much, so she warmly invited her to go with her. Sanhua Niangniang originally wanted to walk alone, and the cat also preferred to walk alone, but I didn't know what to think, and after a little thought, I agreed.
It just so happens that the hotel is also close.
The plane began to land, arriving at Langzhou Lan'an, Canghai Airport, and the mobile phone signal was also restored.
"Buzz~"
Daoist Lao Ya'er: Have you arrived? How was the experience?
The girl held her phone and pondered again.
Finally typed back-
Sanhua Niangniang: It feels good
Put away your phone and start getting off the phone.
Different from the big bags and small bags of the people around her, the girl only carried a simple brocade bag, with a slender figure and comfortable clothes, which looked relaxed in comparison, and even the feet that stepped on the ground seemed so gentle.
Look around, the lights are bright.
γβ¦β¦γ
The girl had a small face, but she couldn't help but take another breath.
Today's Langzhou is no longer the miasma of the past, a place of exile, because of the convenience of access to the sea, trade, its economy is extremely developed, and it has become one of the richest areas in the country.
Walking on this land, I really can't see the original shadow at all.
Even if it is a mountain, it is difficult to find the outline of the past, and even the smell in the air is completely different from that of hundreds of years ago.
Sanhua Niangniang walked to the hotel alone, opened the room, turned on the TV, turned back into a cat, jumped on the bed and nested in a ball, and stopped moving.
The news was playing on the TV.
Another ancient tomb was unearthed in Changjing......
β¦β¦
The next day, in the morning.
Somewhere on a sandy beach by the sea.
Maybe it's the one from hundreds of years ago, maybe it's not.
The beach is pretty empty, except for a coconut grove and a few golf courses, just a small temple and no resort hotels or anything else.
A strong smell of incense wafted from the temple.
The temple is dedicated to the white rhino god.
Today, the white rhinoceros is the main deity worshiped by the people of the coastal areas, and the coastal provinces are full of their temples. Along the seashore, the larger villages have at least one temple each, and the smaller villages share two or three temples, not to mention that many people worship their idols at home. Thanks to years of serious management, to protect the fishery and shipping, the two white rhino gods in the coastal people's minds of the status is extremely lofty, incense is naturally very prosperous, every year there is a grand event belonging to them, is not only a major event for the locals, but also attracts many outsiders to watch, the time is very lively.
As for this temple, because it is close to the beach where tourists often come, most of the tourists who come in and out, especially those who come from the inland, most of them will come to make two sticks of incense and make up a strange situation.
It's like yesterday's mother and son.
At this time, you should still be queuing up to offer incense.
Naturally, Sanhua Niangniang did not go.
It's good to say that you don't have to line up, you can take a look and say hello, if
If you still have to queue up, you can't do it.
The girl just found a reef on the beach, and regardless of whether it was sand or not, clean or not, she put on cat-ear headphones and sat down, holding a book with pictures in her hand, and read it carefully.
I don't listen to anything outside the window, and I only read children's books.
It is "The Diary of the Heavenly Father".
Children's version, illustrated.
I just went out to buy it this morning.
Modern scholars have translated the original text, accompanied it with illustrations, and commented on each story, like a children's book.
Because this book is very special, in addition to being one of the few excellent books of Zhiwei handed down in ancient times, it is also the only book suitable for children to read in ancient Zhiwei, and the only book of Zhiwei in the form of a travelogue and from a personal point of view. It was only due to the low literary level of the author at that time that there were problems in some places, such as inaccurate descriptions, gaps in the context, and incomprehensible thinking angles of the authors, which brought some difficulties to the translation, and some deviated from the author's original ideas.
The illustrations are also attentive, but after all, they are not as shocking as the real ones at the time, and naturally they are very different from the real pictures at that time.
"The author ingeniously imitated the tone of a monster to write this travelogue, which not only makes the story more real, smart, and interesting, but also has many strange thinking, which is difficult for normal people to imagine, as if it is really written by a monster with a different thinking from people, which is undoubtedly the biggest highlight of this book."
"Heh......
Sanhua Niangniang smiled slightly and closed the book.
Before you know it, it's almost noon.
When I looked up, the mother and son had finished the incense at the White Rhino Temple, and had bought small shovels, net pockets and buckets from the small vendor next to them, and it seemed that they had been driving to the sea for a while, while the mother was standing alone and making a phone call, and the child was running barefoot, chasing the bean-sized sand crab on the ground, turning her head to look at her from time to time as she ran.
Leaving a series of footprints on the beach.
"Sister! Let's catch crabs!"
As soon as the child met her eyes, he cried out loudly.
That face was full of excitement.
This look is familiar.
Like an old friend of hers.
Looking back now, the scene seems to have blurred, but I still remember the feeling at that time, as if it was a few months ago.
"Sister! Lots of little crabs! Come and catch it! It's fun!"
"Isn't that fun?"
The girl strolled over and said calmly.
Only shallow footprints are left on the beach.
"Huh?"
"This kind of crab is dripping big, and it has no meat, and it can't be eaten enough when you catch it, what's so funny?"
"You can catch it and raise it, and you can eat it when you raise it!"
"I can't raise it."
"Why?"
"This crab is that big." The girl's tone was calm and patient, and she paused, "There are too many people here, only this little crab is left, we can go along the coast to that side, and when we go to a place where there are few people, we can catch big crabs and lobsters, and we can also pick up big fish, that's what is fun."
"Really?"
"Of course."
The child immediately turned his head to look at his mother.
The girl also turned her head.
The child's mother was still on the phone, and only threw a smile at Sanhua Niangniang, which was not only an apology for the trouble her child had caused her, but also a thank you to her for helping her take the child to play.
So the two walked to the other side of the beach.
The mother followed on the phone.
Chatting all the way.
Remembering the past.
It is still an endless blue sea, still a vast and boundless sky, just looking at the sea and sky, it seems to be the same as hundreds of years ago, so the pictures are slowly overlapping in front of you, as if you have returned to the past.
There are fewer and fewer people on the beach, both because of the slow shift away from the tourist areas, and because of the change in the weather, before you know it, the clouds make up, the wind howls, and it seems that a storm is coming, and the sky is much darker.
The beach has also become much cleaner and smoother.
The girl seemed to see a string of plum blossom-like cat footprints on this smooth and clean beach, as if she saw a three-flowered cat running with a fish in her mouth and her head up, but when she came back to her senses, there was indeed a string of plum blossom-like footprints on the beach, but the end of the footprints was just a lazy orange cat.
"It looks like it's going to rain, can we still catch fish?"
The child couldn't help but be a little worried, and when he looked back, his mother also frowned slightly.
"Don't worry."
Sanhua Niangniang said calmly.
Then he turned his head, looked at the boundless sea that had been folded by a thousand folds, and then looked at the White Rhino Temple, which had become far away behind him, and said in a light tone: "The old man came here, didn't he have a good weather to entertain?"
The weather at sea is really changing.
In the blink of an eye, the wind calmed down, the dark clouds dispersed, revealing the blue sky, and the sea became much brighter.
"Huh! The sun is out again!"
"Let's go, it's good for catching the sea over there."
γβ¦β¦γ
In the next few days, the child's mother often had trivial matters at work, and it was often the Sanhua Niangniang who played with the child. This child is simply well-behaved and sensible, and Sanhua Niangniang is also happy to play with him, but it is difficult to have a banquet in the world, and it is time to separate after all.
The three of them had a meal together, and the table was full of miscellaneous seafood, all of which they picked up by the sea, found a shop to process them, and walked back after eating.
"Sister, why do you use your own bowl to eat?"
"It's just a habit."
"Oh." The child nodded, his face reluctant, "Mom and I are going back tomorrow."
"Yes."
"Sister, where are you from?"
"Yizhou Lingquan's."
"Oh, we flew here from Lingquan." The child said crisply, "Where do you live in the spiritual spring?"
"A place called dreaming."
"Dream to see."
"A Taoist temple."
"Taoism? Are you a Taoist?"
"......," the girl thought for a moment, "yes."
"Huh?"
The child's eyes widened, and he was surprised.
Even the child's mother was a little surprised.
"We also went to a Taoist temple in Lingquan, called Fulongguan, and my mother said that the gods there were very spiritual." The child slowed down and said, "Do you know where it is?"
"Fulongguan...... Of course I know......" Sanhua Niangniang's eyes immediately showed a look of remembrance, "We used to live there too."
"Where did you live before?"
"I lived there for a few years, and then we separated, so I left it there for the later Taoist priests, and we went out to build another one." The girl looked down at the child, her eyes lit up slightly, "Is Fulongguan fun?"
"There are so many people, we want to eat in the Taoist temple, but we don't line up."
"That's right." The girl paused, "There's a pond in front of Fulongguan, did you see it when you went?"
"See, there's a lot of money in there."
"That's what I did."
"You repaired it?"
"I came to raise fish."
"Wow!"
The child was shocked.
His mother only smiled slightly, because she looked at the sign by the pond, which clearly stated that this pond was built in the last years of the Yan Dynasty and was hundreds of years old.
But naturally she won't break it down.
She just picked a gap between the two of them to talk, and asked, "Xiao Song, do you have any other itinerary in the future?"
"After that, I may go along the sea to the sun
I went to the state for a trip, and then I went to Yuzhou, and I didn't think about it after that." The girl thought for a moment and replied.
"Yangzhou? Jiangnan Ancient Town, we can really go and see it, if it is not for the lack of time, we can also take a trip."
"That's right."
"Yuzhou doesn't seem to have any famous scenery."
"Just to try the local traditional food."
"Yuzhou Traditional Food?"
The mother thought for a moment and gave a strange expression.
Yuzhou people eat snakes and rats, this tradition is said to have a history of many years, and it still does.
The children around her were curious, and immediately asked her noisily if there was anything delicious in Yuzhou.
The mother did not answer, but asked again:
"Then will you go to Changjing in the future?"
"Changjing, ......"
There was another trance in front of the girl's eyes:
"Naturally, I'm going."
"We usually live in Changjing, although we are not locals, we are familiar with the road, what the Forbidden City, Changshan, Beiqin Mountain, those Changjing alleys, we are all familiar, when you arrive in Changjing, you must send us a message, and take you to have a good walk when the time comes."
γβ¦β¦γ
Sanhua Niangniang's heart is very wonderful, wonderful and interesting.
After pondering and savoring for a long time, he just nodded, agreed, and added: "In the future, when you come to Lingquan again, you want to go to Fulongguan to burn incense, you can also call me, I also have a little friendship with the current master of Fulongguan and the Taoist priests, with me, I will definitely be able to eat the food in the Taoist temple."
The mother also agreed.
The group of three continued to walk forward, and it was time for children and girls to chat.
"Do you know how to spell, then?"
"Yes."
"Do you know how to catch youkai?"
"Yes."
"Have you ever caught a youkai?"
"The youkai you caught......
The girl's eyes showed a look of recollection, but there was no expression on her face, but her tone was slightly emotional:
"That's too much......
Recycle your commuter pass β
If you have a monthly pass and don't have a place to vote, you can also vote for Jasmine, and Jasmine can be used for lottery hahaha......
The next chapter is still being written......
