The apocalypse descended, and after enduring numerous hardships, Chu Xi lost all her loved ones, barely surviving.
Fifteen years into the apocalypse, accustomed to being low-key and cautious,...
A night of love is worth a thousand gold, so I won’t elaborate on the details…
The next morning, Chu Xi woke up to the sound of Little Stone knocking on the door. The person beside her was no longer in the room. For a moment, she felt a little empty, as if that moment last night was just a dream...
“Puff…”
Chu Xi suddenly became secretly curious about when she became so sentimental or melancholy.
In the mental area, Shi Peng was waiting for breakfast on the first floor. At his door, Xiao Shitou and A Qiu were knocking on the door. Chu Xia wanted to stop them but was a little embarrassed.
Chu Xi quickly got dressed and opened the door. If she didn't open it, the guesthouse or other guests would be dissatisfied.
Toiletries were quickly distributed to the few people, and they finished washing up quickly. Naturally, the process was interspersed with the chattering of Little Stone, who would whisper mysteriously from time to time.
After washing up, everyone gathered in a room. Breakfast had just been brought back, and after eating together, everyone couldn't wait to walk out of the guesthouse.
It just so happened that there was a park not far from the guesthouse. Since they didn't have any specific destination, they decided to start their visit from the park.
The park is built along the river, and maybe it's too early so there aren't many pedestrians.
The breeze blows on your face, the grass on the shore is green, the willows are drooping, the wind is gentle and the birds are singing, and there is vitality everywhere.
The pedestrians who can come here are all smiling and walking lightly. Not far away, the ups and downs of the erhu can be heard. I don’t know where the old man is probably reminiscing about his glorious youth...
In the streets farther away, the red song unique to this era seemed to be playing, "Independence and Self-Reliance". Chu Xi often heard it when wandering around major cities, and it was almost familiar to her.
White doves fly across the sky from time to time, and everything is so vivid and harmonious.
If we ignore the social unrest in recent years, everything is so beautiful.
But when they walked out of the park and saw the ragged or skinny pedestrians appearing on the road from time to time, they knew that the country still had a long way to go in its development.
I just gradually saw some small vendors appearing on some remote streets. Although they were all very small stalls, some were just one person carrying a bag, a shoulder pole, or a big stick with candied haws on it...
The national situation has improved and the private economy has begun to emerge. This is the spark of progress.
The family took a rickshaw and went to the Summer Palace, Old Summer Palace, Tiananmen Square and so on. Although little Shitou and the others did not have any specific feelings and emotions now, Chu Xi, who had experienced two lives, and Shi Peng, who was still an active soldier, had an unparalleled emotional understanding of these classic attractions with great national historical significance and national cultural connotations.
In particular, the former site of the Old Summer Palace was once famous for its grand geographical scale, outstanding construction skills, exquisite architectural landscapes, rich cultural collections and profound national cultural connotations. It was hailed as "a model of all garden art" and "the garden of all gardens."
The late Qing Dynasty was extremely corrupt and faced constant external and internal troubles.
After the invading coalition forces looted the Old Summer Palace, in order to cover up the evidence of the looting, they deliberately looted, smashed and burned to destroy the evidence of the looting, thus making it impossible to count many of the stolen treasures.
Looking at the ruined walls and the desolate place, Chu Xi secretly decided in his heart that if he had the chance, he must go to the hometowns of these so-called "Eight-Nation Alliance" to take a look. Not only should he ask them to "return" our antiques, cultural relics and rare treasures, but he should also ask them to apologize for the cruel and bloody crimes of aggression back then!
If you don't "borrow" their museum's entire collection to take a look, you will be doing a disservice to your spatial ability. The world is so big that you can't go anywhere, and what can't be "borrowed"?
After a day, everyone, especially Xiao Shitou, was exhausted, but their spirits were still high.
It may also be because Chu Xi has been using the space spring water to nourish his body. Xiao Shitou has never had any illness and has always been very healthy. This has saved Chu Xi a lot of trouble.
Chuxia and Aqiu may have been used to being independent, and they had done a lot of hard work such as farm work and collecting herbs in the mountains, so they were in good health. Their original malnutrition was gradually cured after they came into this family, and their faces gradually became rosy.
As the lights came on, a few people came to a state-owned restaurant near the guesthouse. Although the food was not as delicious as what they cooked at home, Chu Xi couldn't explain why, so he simply took a few people directly to the state-owned restaurant and let them order the food themselves. Chu Xi was short of many things now, but he was not short of money.
The meal was so delicious that the mouths of several people were drooling, and they had replenished the energy consumed during the day. Xiao Shitou was especially happy, as his belly was so full. It might be the first time for him to go to such a state-owned restaurant and taste the roast duck and roast chicken. Everyone seemed quite satisfied with the meal.
