Jiang Xiaoyue stood at the gate of the temple and took a few photos of the carvings on the archway. She was fascinated by the layers of colorful scissors carved with Chinese folklore stories.

The most famous thing on the island is this Guandi Temple. It is said that it was founded in the 20th year of Hongwu in the Ming Dynasty (1387 AD) and has a history of 627 years.

The inscription of the main hall in the temple "Dingjian Tongcheng Guanwang Temple" records: "Ming Hongwu built Tongshan City in 20 years to prevent Japanese robbers, and carved statues to protect officers and soldiers. ”

It was only a small temple when it was first built, and it was expanded in the third year of Zhengde in the Ming Dynasty (1508) and completed in the seventh year of Zhengde (1512). Since then, it has been expanded, burned, and rebuilt several times to finally become its current scale.

"Artists are different, the light ratio, the shadow tone, and the composition are very particular."

Lin Zhiyu stood behind Jiang Xiaoyue, looked at the photos taken by Jiang Xiaoyue and said sincerely.

"Don't call it that, how dare I be an artist, I'm just an outdated photographer."

Jiang Xiaoyue straddled the camera to her neck. "It's a big change from what I saw when I was a kid, I remember it wasn't that big when I was a kid, and it was very shabby."

"It has been renovated, and a wooden boardwalk has been built outside to attract tourists. But it hasn't worked out yet. ”

"The taste, it's still the same smell. What do you think? ”

"It's still a little different, it's not the same as I remember. I still like the way it was. ”

"After so many years in Germany, it hasn't become fashionable, but it's still so old-fashioned."

"At that time, you didn't say that you were going to Hollywood, get your green card and never come back, but you didn't run back to this island where birds don't."

"My situation is more complicated. It's hard to put into words. How's it going, are you still used to coming back? ”

"If you don't get used to it, you have to get used to it. What about you! ”

"I'm not like you were born and raised here. You can help me keep an eye on it and see if anyone is willing to buy a house on the hill. ”

"It's better to stay for the occasional vacation."

"You're right, who cleans the house when it's empty? Houses that no one lives in can easily be scrapped. ”

"Didn't you say you liked it here?"

"That's true, but I have to eat! I can only take pictures, so can I open a wedding photo studio here? ”

"Why not? Haven't you dreamed enough of being an artist? ”

Jiang Xiaoyue waved her hand, "It's gold that shines everywhere, and I have long had a correct understanding of myself." Even if you open a wedding photo studio here, you don't find that there are either old people or children left on the island, how can anyone patronize it. ”

"How I didn't find out. Indeed, young and middle-aged people have gone out to work, but tourism is being developed here, you just stand at the gate of Guandi Temple with a camera, and a tourist takes pictures for 20 yuan, and 10 people a day also 200 yuan! ”

"You're so funny, now that you can take pictures with your mobile phone, who will pay to take pictures."

"You take a family photo!"

"Family Portrait ......"

Jiang Xiaoyue and Lin Zhiyu were talking while walking around the Guandi Temple.

"Do you want to draw a lot, it is said that the lottery here is very effective." Lin Zhiyu asked Jiang Xiaoyue.

Jiang Xiaoyue shook her head, "What is there to calculate, I can't be confused, I look forward in life, and I can see the head at a glance." Do you have any arrangements for the evening? ”

"Be on duty at night."

"Forget it, I want to invite you to my place for a drink."

"Another day!"

"Hmm."

Jiang Xiaoyue walked out of the main hall and heard someone talking about the structure of the main hall, so she stopped and listened curiously. Lin Zhiyu saw that Jiang Xiaoyue had stood still, and he also followed.

"Beam-lifting timber frame, single eaves rest on the top of the mountain, traditional symmetrical building, the central axis of the building is opposite to the Wenfeng Pagoda across the sea, and the central axis and the spire form a straight line. It is conceivable that it is indeed rare to build so precisely without any precision instruments in ancient times.

It is called the Prince Pavilion, which makes full use of the architectural principles of geometry and mechanics, and not only has superb plastic arts, but also has high scientific value of architectural structure. ”

"Xiaoyanagi, you studied with TV, I think it's like a TV commentator, what is that called "Exploration and Discovery", yes, it seems to be called this name, it's really good." Zhao Lanxiang said with a smile.

"Mom, Brother Cheng is a scholar of ancient architecture, this is a piece of cake for him, and the TV commentators are all written manuscripts, not real experts."

"It doesn't matter if it's real or fake, it's just a lively sound. Don't just go here and gossip, go in and draw lots. I'm done pumping Ali. Now that there are fewer people inside, go quickly, or the door will close in a while. ”

"Signlings here?" Kiki asked curiously?

"Exceptional." Zhao Lanxiang said.

"Well, my mother comes to draw a lot for me every year to calculate the fortune of the year." Ma Li continued.

When Kiki was about to enter the main hall, he saw the pharmacist in the pharmacy, and a woman next to him was taking pictures. The two talked and laughed.

"Coincidentally, you're the one at the pharmacy, I forgot to ask your surname last time, why did you bring your girlfriend to the lottery?"

Lin Zhiyu recognized it as Qiji at this time. She had been facing away from him just now, so she didn't recognize it. However, he recognized Lu Ming as the person who fainted in front of the pharmacy last time, but Lu Ming didn't seem to know him, so he didn't take the initiative to talk.

"Hello, what a coincidence. My friend just moved back from out of town, and I brought her to be nostalgic. Are these your friends? ”

"My entrepreneurial partner. That was Mali's mother, and I was at their house when I came here. ”

"Happy New Year, Auntie!" Lin Zhiyu politely bowed for a year.

"Happy New Year, lad. Don't patronize and take pictures, hurry up and take your girlfriend to the lottery, the temple door will be closed in a while. ”

"I forgot to introduce myself last time, my name is Qiji, the chef of Liucheng Hotel. Lu Ming, bartender. Mali, people from the island, you are fellow countrymen. ”

"My name is Lin Zhiyu. Happy New Year! ”

Lin Zhiyu shook hands with Lou Yanyu, Lu Ming, and Ma Li one by one, and greeted each other.

"This is my elementary school classmate."

Jiang Xiaoyue greeted everyone and said auspicious words for the New Year. Qiji and Liucheng, Luming, and Ma returned the salute.

"It turned out to be a childhood sweetheart, it's rare. Horsepower, you see how capable Mr. Lin is, you see how ...... you"

"Mom, don't mention unhappy things during the New Year."

Ma Li spoke out at the right time to stop Zhao Lanxiang's words. Zhao Lanxiang shook her head helplessly.

"Auntie, Zhiyu and I are not childhood sweethearts, we just went to school together for a while when we were young."

Jiang Xiaoyue still wanted to say something, but after thinking about it, forget it, why bother to say so much to the people she just met!

She smiled politely. "Why don't I take a picture of you!"

"By the way, let Xiaoyue take a picture of you, she is a professional." Lin Zhiyu agitated.

"Okay, keep it as a souvenir. Come Auntie, you stand in the middle. ”

Qi Ji pulled Zhao Lanxiang to his side and asked Ma Li to stand on the other side of his mother. Liu Cheng and Lu Ming stood in the back row.

"I'll wash it and send it to you." Jiang Xiaoyue said.

"Great, go to me, there is good wine and good food to entertain, Mr. Lin will come with you when the time comes." Kiki said happily.

"Hmm. Boss Qi didn't want to go in and draw lots just now, hurry up! Today is the first day of the new year, I wish you a lottery and good luck for the year. Lin Zhiyu said politely.

Kiki took the fortune teller's sign for her, carefully folded it in half, and put it in her purse.

"Aki, what kind of lottery did you draw!"

"Master just said that business will definitely be good this year."

"Didn't you ask about marriage? You're not too young, don't delay yourself. Zhao Lanxiang felt a little regretful.

"Mom, don't worry about it. Sister Qi will not become a "leftover girl". ”

Ma Ma rolled his eyes a little unbearably.

A few people walked outside while talking.

"Time waits for no one, the year goes by quickly, and when you come back to taste, the daylily is cold. Aji, I said you as my own. It's not easy for you to do business on your own, and having a man has the backing. I'll help you find a place, but I don't know if you look down on the locals. ”

"Mom, don't be busy, it's better for me to chase my sister, so you don't have to worry about it." Ma Li deliberately angry Zhao Lanxiang.

Unexpectedly, Zhao Lanxiang echoed and said, "It's good if you have that blessing, Aji has a good heart, a beautiful person, and knows filial piety, but he is much better than the half-hearted kind of person." And nowadays, it's not a popular sister-brother relationship, it's all played like that in TV dramas. ”

Ma Ma couldn't imagine that his mother was so open, he was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat, looked at Liu Cheng and then at Lu Ming. Both of them pretended to be fine. Qiji knew that Ma Li was deliberately angry with his mother, but he didn't expect to be defeated by his mother, and laughed at Ma Ma to lift a stone and shoot himself in the foot. Seeing Qi Ji snickering, Ma Li glared at her, and said in retaliation, "Brother Cheng, Brother Ming, and Brother Qin Feng, but they are all single, so they can't take my turn!" ”

Qi Ji seemed to be told that he had broken his heart, blushed, and looked at Liu Cheng. Liu Cheng was walking to the side to greet the head of the Guandi Temple. Qi Ji patted his chest and calmed down. Lu Ming looked at Qi Ji, then at Liu Cheng, sighed slightly, and stopped Qi Ji. Zhao Lanxiang is still walking forward. Ma Li looked back at Luming and Qiji, and turned to catch up with his mother.

"Who did you say was single?" Zhao Lanxiang seemed to be thinking about something, and she didn't listen to her son's words at all.

"It's Brother Liu Cheng, Brother Lu Ming, and the one who translated the novel."

"You still say that others, don't care about yourself."

Qi Ji followed behind Lu Ming and walked to the side under the eaves, I don't know what Lu Ming's intentions are, and muttered in his heart, should he go to his heart for the conversation between Ma Li's mother and Ma Li just now!

"Xiaolu, you don't have to think about anything else, I'm not a nymphomaniac, and men who are younger than me have never been cold. Besides, rabbits don't eat the grass next to the nest, of course I understand this reason. ”

Lu Ming didn't look for her for this, but when she heard Qi Ji say this, she poured another basin of cold water in her heart. He felt more and more that his crush had come to naught.

"Look at how good that pair is, how the two of them are also companions."

Zhao Lanxiang said, pointing to the plank road by the sea.

Ma Li looked in the direction of Zhao Lanxiang's finger, and it was Lin Zhiyu and Jiang Xiaoyue walking on the plank road. Lin Zhiyu took off his coat and draped it on Jiang Xiaoyue's body. Jiang Xiaoyue pointed to the sky.

The moon, faintly with only a little shadow.

"Did you really see him here?" Lin Zhiyu asked.

"That's right!"

"You told me your name, it's surnamed Qin, right?"

Jiang Xiaoyue nodded.

"If he knew the truth, he would definitely get back together with you."

"Don't be nosy, it's been so long, he may be married."

"You still can't forget him. Didn't you come back for him? ”

Jiang Xiaoyue was silent.
