Chapter 166 (Part 2)
Zuo Xiangfeng covered his face with his hands and slowly burst into tears. Lin Shuyue and others saw it and looked at each other. No one said anything and just ate quietly.
It didn't take Zuo Xiangfeng long to adjust himself after losing composure. He picked up his glass and toasted them.
These few days were the most difficult days for Zuo Xiangfeng. Hang Jiabai and others didn't say much, but they sent messages to him every day. Those messages came from all over the world, and they were all the people who used to be best friends with him.
Zuo Xiangfeng did not delete any of these messages. These messages were a stimulant to his heart when he was most desperate.
Even though he had known that Shi Muyuan might be in danger, he still couldn't accept it at this moment.
After finishing the meal, Zuo Xiangfeng paid the bill and the group came out of the restaurant. Snowflakes were falling outside.
Lin Shuyue looked at Hang Jiabai excitedly: "Abai, it's snowing."
Hang Jiabai understood Lin Shuyue. He thought that he was also so excited when he first saw snow.
Xu Yu was from the north, and snow was a common sight for him. He recalled the first snowfall after he entered college, when the school
The actions of the southern students brought smiles to their faces.
"It looks like the snow will be quite heavy. By the time we get up tomorrow morning, the snow will be above our feet." Xu Yu said, hooking his arm around Zhou Xuanlai's shoulder.
Lin Shuyue and Hang Jiabai looked at each other, and Hang Jiabai said, "Snow and the Forbidden City go best together."
Lin Shuyue nodded repeatedly. Instead of taking a taxi, they walked for a distance in the snow.
As Zuo Xiangfeng walked, he suddenly recalled those years when Shi Muyuan would take him for a walk in the snow whenever it snowed. She loved snow the most.
Two months before she disappeared, there was a heavy snowfall in the capital. They walked in the snow and it turned their hair white.
She smiled and said: "If we can get wet in the snow together one day, we can grow old together in this life."①
At that time, Zuo Xiangfeng didn't say anything, but just watched her walking in the snow. The red scarf tied around her neck became the third most beautiful color in the world.
Now I think about it, they once grew old together. He wished so much that they would grow old together.
"Turn back." A crisp female voice coming from behind interrupted Zuo Xiangfeng's memories. He turned his head subconsciously and heard a click.
It turned out that Lin Shuyue took a photo of the four of them.
Zuo Xiangfeng remembered that he and Shi Muyuan had few photos together, and he suddenly felt sad.
When she left, it seemed as if the whole world was taken away by her, leaving him alone, floating alone in this lonely world.
There is no Shi Muyuan in this world anymore. Zuo Xiangfeng, who was in love with Shi Muyuan, also followed him. May they have an afterlife.
······
The next morning, Lin Shuyue waited for Feng Qinqin, and they made an appointment to go to the Forbidden City together. She brought a lot of luggage with her, and then they went to the front desk on the first floor to renew their room fee.
The National Television News Department booked a room for them until today. If I don’t renew it, I may not have a place to stay at night.
After paying the room fee successfully, the two looked out the window. The sky and the earth were covered in white. There were fewer cars on the road, but more people walking. Everyone was wearing thick clothes and walking slowly in the snow, leaving behind a series of footprints.
After taking a breath, her nose was filled with coldness. Feng Qinqin said, "It's not far from here to the Forbidden City. Let's go there?"
This was also Feng Qinqin's first time in the capital, but she had passed by the Forbidden City with He Wanqing before, but because the Forbidden City charged admission, they did not go in. If you ask the reason, it is that He Wanqing does not have that much money and does not want to go.
When she went out with him before, he always paid for most of the expenses himself. When He Wanqing said she didn't want to go, she didn't try to persuade her. Thinking about it now, Feng Qinqin feels that her relationship with He Wanqing is not as good as she imagined.
The only reason their friendship has lasted until now is because she is stupid.
"Okay, let's walk there." The two of them headed towards the Forbidden City.
Along the way, Lin Shuyue found everything new and stopped to take pictures from time to time. Feng Qinqin, who was watching from the side, was also infected by her and felt better. She suddenly remembered that every time it snowed and she went out with He Wanqing, she would hear her endless complaints.
Not only did she have to help He Wanqing carry her bag, but she also had to listen to her complaints. At that time, she also began to hate snowy days. But now, walking in the snow with a girl who was in a normal mood, Feng Qinqin also felt that snowy days began to look nice.
It only takes two bus stops to get from Haiyue Hotel to the Forbidden City, but they walked for half an hour and no one felt tired. On the way, they saw someone selling roasted sweet potatoes, so they bought one. Once they peeled the hot roasted sweet potato and it was just the right temperature to eat in the cold wind.
According to the old man who sells sweet potatoes, his sweet potatoes are harvested after the Frost Descent, and they are indeed very sweet. On a snowy day like this, sweets and hot food really make people feel happy.
Feng Qinqin finally put He Wanqing behind her and felt happy both physically and mentally.
When buying tickets to enter the Forbidden City, Feng Qinqin said to Lin Shuyue: "Shuyue, it turns out that getting rid of an unhealthy friendship can make people so happy."
Lin Shuyue looked at her with a smile on her face: "Don't think about the ones you've thrown away. People like that are always exceptions. There are still many people in the world who are suitable to be friends."
Feng Qinqin nodded heavily.
Someone walked towards them and spoke in a very authentic background tone: "Sister, do you want a tour guide?"
The person who came was a young girl in her teens, wearing a cotton monkey suit. Except for a pair of overly bright eyes and two braids sticking out from her dog-skin hat, nothing else was exposed.
Lin Shuyue was a little surprised. She didn't expect that there would be such a private tour guide now. Lin Shuyue and Feng Qinqin looked at each other. Feng Qinqin said, "Yes, if you don't come to the Forbidden City for a hundred or eighty years, you must know it well. Otherwise, when I get home and my mother asks me what's in the Forbidden City, I won't be able to say a word."
Lin Shuyue said to the young girl: "Yes, thank you for your help."
The young girl was very happy to see the business coming to her. She said in a loud voice: "Hello, you two! My last name is Tong, you can just call me Little Tong. I am here, and I will definitely let you two have a good time in the Forbidden City today."
Afterwards, Xiao Tong told the price of his tour guide, and Lin Shuyue and Feng Qinqin each paid half of the money.
Xiao Tong took the money and put it in his pocket, then took out a pink cloth flag and walked in front: "Two sisters, follow me, we are going to enter the Forbidden City from the Meridian Gate..."
Following Xiao Tong's explanation, Lin Shuyue and Feng Qinqin began their journey to the Forbidden City. Xiao Tong's explanation was very detailed, and he cited various allusions at will. Lin Shuyue and Feng Qinqin nodded repeatedly after listening to him.
During the tour, Lin Shuyue took many photos.
The sky after the snow became especially blue, and the sun came out, shining on the snow that fell last night, trying to melt it.
Lin Shuyue took many photos of the Forbidden City. The Forbidden City captured by the camera is incredibly beautiful.
During this period, Lin Shuyue also learned some things about Xiao Tong.
She is eighteen years old. Her parents are not at home, so she lives with her grandparents.
"Where are your parents?" Feng Qinqin asked frankly, only to realize it was inappropriate after she asked.
Xiao Tong said: "They are in Hebei Province. You know Saihanba, right? They are in that kind of tree. My brother and sister are there too."
Lin Shuyue was a little surprised: "My boyfriend's parents are also in Bashang. They have been there for many years."
Xiao Tong glanced at Lin Shuyue, and her eyes suddenly became closer. She smiled and said, "Yes, my parents have been there for many years. They were educated youth when they went there, and they never came back after they got married and settled down there. I also grew up there. This year I was admitted to a university in the capital, so I came back."
"Today is the weekend, so I thought I would come to the Forbidden City to earn some extra money and train myself in advance. Oh, I majored in tourism." Xiao Tong said, and then added: "I bought a student ticket, which is half price."
This sentence made Lin Shuyue and Feng Qinqin laugh. Xiao Tong also laughed.
Lin Shuyue asked her: "How is your life on the dam? Is it dangerous?"
"When we were young, life was really hard. We lacked water and food because the land above the dam was all desert, so food was very precious. In winter, it was even worse. The heavy snow blocked the road down the mountain, and there was nothing to eat."
"My mother said that they almost starved to death in the mountains because of a deliveryman's mistake at the foot of the mountain. But that was in the past. The Saihanba of today is no longer the Saihanba of the past,"
"Now Saihanba is covered with green trees. The water and soil are no longer eroded, and grass is growing. There are more wild animals, such as lions and wolves."
"If you go there in the summer, you will see endless grassland." Xiao Tong's eyes lit up when he said this.
She quickly changed the subject and said, "If we talk about danger, it's the illegal logging. In recent years, as the trees have grown, some people with bad intentions have started to cut down trees in the mountains, and the wild animals in the forest are often hunted by them."
"In order to stop them from cutting down trees, many forest police officers in our area have died. They are too rampant." Xiao Tong said with hatred on his face.
Lin Shuyue listened to her words and already had a vague idea of the term "Guardian" that she had drawn yesterday.
Forest police is a type of police force that is not well known to the public. Their duties are to enforce national forest protection laws and regulations, investigate and punish cases of destruction of forests and wild animal and plant resources in accordance with the law, ensure ecological security, and maintain public security and stability in forest areas. ②
Lin Shuyue wanted to interview them, very much.
She immediately handed her business card to Xiao Tong, who took it with some surprise. After reading the words on it clearly, she looked at Lin Shuyue.
Lin Shuyue said: "I am a reporter for Pengcheng Metropolis Daily in Guangdong Province. I am participating in a recording activity to give gifts to workers on May 1st next year. I want to interview your parents and the workers on the dam." ^o^
Little Tong Wenyan looked down at the business card in her hand again, then she looked up: "I want to ask my parents."
"Okay, my phone number is on this business card. If you have any news, please call me."
"Okay." Xiao Tong continued to be as dedicated and responsible as ever during the rest of the journey.
Coming out of Donghua Gate, Feng Qinqin looked at Lin Shuyue with admiration: "Shuyue, I'm only 25 years old this year. I must work hard and learn from you. Top Ten Young Journalists, wait for me, here I come!!!"
Feng Qinqin looked determined.
"Come on, I think you can do it." The snow melted a little, and the two of them walked towards the Seaview Hotel. The cold wind blew their voices into the air.
