Chapter 126
After watching the sunset, we came back and had a hotpot in the commercial street. Then, in order to digest the food, the three of us went to the lakeside camping area to feed the fish and watch the bonfire. We had a very fulfilling day.
When I came back at night, I took a dip in the single hot spring bath in the room, and I felt that all my fatigue was instantly relieved. I lay down on the soft and supportive big bed and fell asleep quickly.
The next day, the three of them slept until they woke up naturally, had a simple breakfast at Nuannuan Restaurant, and then went out in high spirits, ready to check in at the newly built entertainment area of the hotel.
Before in Qingshui Town, Xu Jiancheng and others had heard friends mention Nuannuan Hot Springs, but what everyone mentioned most at the time were the several pools in the villa.
This time, they originally wanted to go to the villa first, but when they got the tourist brochure, they found out that the hotel had actually built a new park that provides family mixed bathing. The whole family can soak in the hot spring together in swimsuits without the need for gender divisions.
"Isn't this a coincidence?"
Xu Jiancheng was very happy to see this.
It is better to arrive at the right time than to arrive early. They happened to arrive just in time for the opening of the new park and can be the first wave of people to enjoy it.
After I get back, I will show off to those friends who didn’t come.
Moreover, the mixed bathing area is especially suitable for families like them who come to play together. The three of them were so excited that they couldn't wait a moment and set off immediately.
Following the instructions, they set out from the main building. The air in the early morning was fresh. Occasionally, a flying monster would fly overhead, flapping its wings and soaring in the air, making sharp cries. Xu Yao shrank back, but dared to look up.
Knowing that these monsters cannot penetrate the protective shield to attack you, you can appreciate them and gradually experience the wildness of nature.
Combined with the pristine layout of the Nuannuan Hot Spring, it really gives people the feeling of being on vacation in a scenic area.
Not far away, the reception center of the entertainment area appeared in front of us. However, it was past nine o'clock and there were already quite a few tourists coming in and out, and the entrance was crowded with people. The three did not dare to delay and hurried to join the team.
There were special staff members maintaining order next to the three long lines. The players were quiet and orderly, and soon it was Xu Jiancheng's family's turn.
"Hello, I need two adult tickets and one children's ticket." Bao Yunya stepped forward and said.
There was a small sign at the front desk with the ticket prices written on it. She had just checked it out. Adult tickets were 120 points a day, children under 12 years old were half price at 60 points, and although children under 14 years old could not enjoy half price, there was still a certain discount, which was 80 points a day.
Bao Yunya felt that this price was completely acceptable.
It is worth mentioning that there seems to be a hot spring swimming pool in the park, which is charged separately, 30 points per person.
"Should we buy tickets for this hot spring swimming pool?" Bao Yunya looked a little hesitant.
Taking a hot spring bath and swimming are two completely different things.
Xu Jiancheng was quite interested. "Let's try it. I haven't swum for many years. I can't swim in the hot spring pool. I almost got choked up yesterday."
When his hands and feet were soaked in the pool, he always wanted to splash around, but where was the big enough space in the hot spring pool in the room for him to do that?
"Besides, since I've already bought the swimsuit, I definitely need to make the most of it."
Xu Jiancheng continued to work hard and finally convinced Bao Yunya, "Then let's get three more tickets to the swimming pool."
After checking out, the staff at the front desk handed over three wristbands with a smile and asked them to put them on. "The changing rooms are upstairs. Ladies go to the right and men go to the left. You can buy swimsuits and swimming gear next to the lobby. In addition, there is a dining area in the park. Please do not take out food and drinks in other places except the dining area..."
She patiently reminded him of some precautions, while Xu Yao, who was standing next to her, was pulling at Bao Yunya's clothes, and she couldn't wait any longer.
She stood on tiptoe, looking behind the front desk.
When Shu Mo was building the lobby, he used large transparent glass walls. When buying tickets, one can directly see the interior of the park and the tourists walking back and forth. The joyous scene always attracts the players' attention and makes people not want to wait for even a second.
Xu Yao was so excited that she couldn't wait to see it. Xu Jiancheng also noticed it, and he felt the same excitement as when he went to the amusement park as a child. He took the bracelet and said, "Let's go."
Before leaving, the three of them did not forget to go to the swimsuit store nearby and pick out a swimsuit for each of them.
Xu Yao's is a simple children's one-piece swimsuit. She chose an indigo blue one with a circle of small ruffles extending from the waist, which is very cute.
Bao Yunya thought that she would have to go to the swimming pool soon, so she picked out a little yellow duck swimming ring for her. She could hold the little yellow duck's neck and slowly step on the water in the pool. It didn't matter if she couldn't swim.
In addition, swimming caps and goggles are also essential.
Fearing that the slippers provided in the locker room were too big, she even bought her daughter a pair of children's slippers, which were also in the shape of a light yellow duck, and formed a perfect match with the swimming ring. Because they were non-slip hole shoes, the laces at the back fit the feet very well, so there was no need to worry about falling even when running.
Xu Yao couldn't wait to put them on, put away her original snow boots, walked around the hall twice, and even tentatively jumped a few times on the spot.
The toe of the hole shoes is a little big, and it makes a little puffing sound when you walk, just like a little duck.
Bao Yunya and Xu Jiancheng were delighted by what they saw.
The swimming gear store has fair prices. All these things added up only cost about 70 or 80 points, but they made my daughter so happy.
While they were happy, they also felt a little sad.
Xu Yao was clearly born before the apocalypse, but he hardly experienced the childhood life of children at that time. He started running around in the wild with his parents when he was two or three years old. As far as he could remember, he ate canned food that was hard to swallow and faced a life full of dangers. This often makes both of them feel indebted.
She should have grown up carefree in peacetime.
So the couple’s mood is actually very complicated.
They want their daughter to be independent, but also want to make up for the deficiencies in her childhood as much as possible.
So when they saw Xu Yao being so happy about some children's swimsuits that were common before the end of the world, they couldn't help but have an idea from the bottom of their hearts.
——It’s great to come to a hot spring resort.
If they hadn't come to the hot spring, the most they could have saved was to buy a few pieces of equipment for Yaoyao, and they wouldn't have been able to use it to improve their quality of life, let alone buy things that little kids would like.
I have money but can't spend it.
Now that I finally have the opportunity, of course I have to spend it to my heart’s content.
Thinking of this, Xu Jiancheng took two steps forward and approached the shelves of the swimming gear store. "I'll pick some too. Let's each have a pair of slippers and wear parent-child outfits, okay?"
…
They spent a long time shopping in the swimming gear store before finally going upstairs to change clothes.
Bao Yunya stood at the door of the locker room, "Yaoyao, are you okay?"
"I'm here." Xu Yao rushed out, and suddenly realized something was wrong. She slapped her head and said, "Oh, my slippers fell in there. Mom, can you help me get them first?"
She stuffed the swimming ring in her hand into Bao Yunya's arms.
"Really, so reckless..." Bao Yunya shook her head helplessly, and looked down at the swimming ring, feeling that it was a bit too heavy.
Since she wouldn't be able to use it while taking a bath anyway, she thought about it and decided to just put it in her backpack.
After putting it away, she checked the properties of the item out of habit, and was suddenly startled.
【Name：Little yellow duck swimming ring】
[Attributes: Life-saving equipment, it will sound a piercing alarm when the user is drowning, so my mother no longer has to worry about my safety~ [Click to listen]]
There's even a three-second preview button on the back.
Bao Yunya: “?”
Is this ok?
She hesitated and pressed the button. The next second, a sharp alarm sounded in her ears, "Ga! Ga! Ga! Ga-ga-ga--"
Bao Yunya: “!!!”
It was as if a hundred ducks were quacking at the same time in her mind, making it so noisy that she was overwhelmed. She was frightened and quickly turned it off.
As soon as the sound stopped, Bao Yunya felt that the whole world was quiet.
She rubbed her ears and looked with lingering fear at the seemingly docile and harmless little yellow duck swimming ring with a pair of dark eyes in her backpack. She had never expected that this thing could make such a loud noise.
But speaking of it, this "ga ga" alarm sound is quite unique...
Could it be because of the shape of the swimming ring?
Bao Yunya sweated.
However, although the swimming ring is noisy, it is indeed very safe. At least when the sound is heard in the confined space of the swimming pool, it is impossible to be ignored.
I heard that it is often difficult for a drowning person to cry for help. With a swimming ring with "intelligent sensing alarm", parents can feel much more at ease.
Thinking that it was for children, Bao Yunya immediately forgot her previous complaints and silently gave a thumbs up to this design in her heart.
At this time, Xu Yao also put on her slippers and came out. The mother and daughter went downstairs hand in hand and met Xu Jiancheng at the door.
In addition to being tied to the lockers in the locker room, the bracelets on the wrists of the three people can also be used as ticket credentials. By swiping the wristbands, they can enter the park and swimming pool without the need for manual ticket checking, which is very convenient.
At first, Bao Yunya was worried that it would be a bit cold to walk outdoors in just a swimsuit, so she prepared a cold-proof jacket for outdoor wear, thinking of putting it on Xu Yao if the temperature dropped.
After all, although the temperature inside the barrier is much higher than the outside world, it is far from the point where one can walk outdoors for a long time with a large area of skin exposed.
As we left the reception center, a cool breeze blew towards us.
The sun was shining brightly outside, but it didn't provide much warmth on the body. Bao Yunya was about to hand the coat to her daughter, but she saw Xu Yao quickly putting on the large bath towel that was distributed to everyone in the locker room.
"You are..." She was a little surprised.
"Mom, didn't you see the sign in the locker room?" Xu Yao turned around and saw the thick coat hanging on her arm. She was more surprised than she was. "The hotel wrote that in addition to being good at absorbing water, bath towels can also keep out the cold. If you feel cold when walking outdoors, you can put it on."
She tightened the towel, and the short fluff on it pressed against her cheeks. It had a faint smell of disinfection, clean and warm. Xu Yao showed a happy smile on her face and urged her mother, "Try it now."
Bao Yunya was stunned for a moment, took back the coat in her hand, and finally understood why the person passing by just now looked at her with such a strange expression.
The hotel was really too thoughtful. She was a little uncomfortable with the meticulous service.
I wrapped the towel around myself and felt warm instantly.
Walking towards the rockery where the hot spring pool is located, you can hear the sound of water pouring down like a waterfall and noisy voices from a distance. The humidity has increased significantly, and water vapor with a sulfur smell is drifting around. The leaves of the surrounding vegetation were covered with water droplets, turning them a bright green.
The rockery is divided into several layers, and each layer is a hot spring pool of different colors and functions. Compared with the indoor hot spring pool in the villa, the area is larger and can accommodate more customers.
There was even a height difference between each floor to create the effect of flowing water, and the sound they heard came from this.
On the lowest level, water like a silver chain flowed down the "mountain" of the rockery, dripping like a water curtain cave. Several children excitedly ran around in it, holding their breath, imitating the way of meditating under the waterfall.
There is a circle of raised parts under the water at the edge of each hot spring pool, where people who are bathing in the hot spring can sit and rest. While children are happily swimming in the huge pool, tired adults can lean on the edge of the pool, take a quiet rest and look at the scenery below.
Because it is built outdoors, the air is much better than indoors, and one can see the snow-capped mountains surrounding the snowfield at a glance, so this entertainment area has been well received since its launch.
Some people come alone but still choose mixed bathing just to enjoy the scenery. Of course, there are also many players who dislike the noise of children and will still go to the other hall.
In addition, there are resting chairs at the edge of each hot spring pool, as well as some lounge chairs. If you feel dizzy after soaking in the hot spring, you can sit on the chair and enjoy the fresh air at any time. Large bath towels have a very good water absorption effect and can absorb water from your body in a short time, so you don’t have to worry about catching a cold.
The three of them were dazzled and looked up. Bao Yunya discovered that in addition to this main hot spring area, there seemed to be paths on the rockery leading to other areas, but they could not be seen from her angle.
“So many hot spring pools!” she exclaimed. “Plus the swimming pool, no wonder they recommend planning a day here.”
Walking up the stone steps in slippers, Bao Yunya discovered that there were wooden signs marking the edges of different pools, and they seemed to have different functions.
Before she could study it carefully, her husband's voice rang out beside her, "Here is the map."
Xu Jiancheng watched with interest, "It is said that the common sulfur pools and Chinese medicine pools outside are here, and the real special hot spring pools are distributed in the forest, and they are separate... Since we are here, why don't we start with the special pools?"
"Fish therapy pool, mud therapy pool, and salt bath...Yaoyao, which one do you want to choose?" Xu Jiancheng asked with a smile.
