Chapter 470 The Person in the Painting (5K)
Wushui County is a 5A-level scenic spot, and the night view is particularly beautiful.
As soon as it gets dark, the colorful light strips wrapped around the houses along the river bank will turn on, and the colorful lights will connect into one, illuminating the entire ancient city.
Coming out of the train station and walking more than a thousand meters along the street, you will enter the ancient city. Various ancient buildings are connected together and closely adjacent to each other, which makes first-time visitors feel that it is very interesting.
Zeng Wenjie took Mu Qingyang in front to lead the way, preparing to walk along the ancient city to the front, where there were many old-style inns to stay.
Jiang Yu couldn't help but ask, "Why do I feel like you've been here before?"
Zeng Wenjie glanced at her and said, "You can't check the guide if you haven't been here before, huh?"
In his previous life, he often came here to do live broadcasts, so he was very familiar with this county.
After all, this is an ancient city and it will not be easily rebuilt. It is almost the same as what he remembers it to be like more than ten years later.
The roads here are not complicated, just a main road on both sides of the river bank.
The few people who arrived here for the first time felt amazed. They looked here and there. There were many handicraft shops along the street. They went to each of them and bought some small accessories they liked.
"Zeng Wenjie, come here quickly, there are coins for sale here!" Mu Qingyang suddenly waved his hand and said.
"What's so strange about selling coins?" Zeng Wenjie walked over in confusion.
Then, I found out that the stall owner was selling counterfeit coins, the 50-cent kind, with only one side and the other side was blank.
"It is said that words will be engraved on the coins, so that two fifty-cent coins put together will represent that we are together." Mu Qingyang smiled and liked this meaning very much.
I asked the price and it was fifteen yuan.
Zeng Wenjie was immediately shocked in his mind. These coins are fake, not even worth 50 cents, and a pair costs 15 yuan. What a dishonest businessman!
However, seeing that Mu Qingyang was eager to try, he didn't want to be the one to spoil the fun.
Mu Qingyang said, "We each pay half, that would be more meaningful."
Zeng Wenjie nodded and said, "Okay, each of us will pay half."
So, each of them took out seven dollars and fifty cents and bought a pair, and asked the boss to carve each other's names on the plain side of the board.
Zeng Wenjie holds the one in Mu Qingyang's name, and Mu Qingyang holds the one in Zeng Wenjie's name.
Then, he made a small hole on the edge of the coin and passed a red string through it, and the fifteen yuan was spent.
"It's so easy to make money for people in love. Two small coins were sold for fifteen yuan." Ouyang Yun couldn't help but complain.
"When we go out to play, money can't buy me happiness. Yunzi, why are you so talkative?" Zeng Wenjie allowed himself to complain in his heart, but he would never allow others to complain.
Ouyang Yun rolled his eyes and said, "If I can't make it in the future, I'll just set up a small stall like this at a tourist attraction. Maybe I can support myself."
Zeng Wenjie said, "I suggest you contract the public toilet at Yangcheng Railway Station."
These days, public toilets charge a fee of 30 or 50 cents.
Zeng Wenjie went to Guangzhou at that time, and felt very useless in his heart. If he were asked to contract the public toilets at Guangzhou Railway Station, he would not change it even if he became the boss of a big company!
Ouyang Yun gave Zeng Wenjie two middle fingers, apparently unaware of the value of a public toilet in a big city train station.
Mu Qingyang happily put the coin on his wrist, but then he felt a little distressed because he had too many accessories on his body, and it would seem a bit cumbersome to wear it.
"You can hang it on the desk in your dormitory." Zeng Wenjie said.
"Hmmmm!" Mu Qingyang thought about it and felt that it made sense.
She already has a lot of territory in the dormitory, so this coin is not a big deal.
A world of two has its advantages, and a world of more people has its advantages. A trip with five people is very lively, with four girls chattering non-stop.
When they came across a nice scenic spot, Zeng Wenjie picked up his camera to help them take photos.
When I passed by a clothing store, I heard a speaker playing the song "Floating to the North".
"Yo, your song! My dream trip, I left my hometown, yo yo yo~" Jiang Yu immediately started to act silly.
"Damn, have you paid the copyright fee?" Zeng Wenjie's thoughts were all about shit and money.
On the way, Zeng Wenjie was recognized by others and they all invited him to take photos with them. This made him feel like he had become a big star, and he felt very happy.
Ouyang Yun said: "The song 'Floating to the North' is quite nice, but it's a shame that Yi Jiacheng advanced. He has already become the champion."
Zeng Wenjie said coldly: "How can I have so much time to accompany them to record the show?"
The four of them all felt that he seemed to have captured the air of a celebrity. It seemed that the fans who came along and asked him to take photos with them had made him a little overwhelmed?
I walked along the streets of the ancient city, stopping here and there, and bought a box of pickled ginger. It was sour, spicy, crisp and tasted great.
From time to time, you can walk along the path from the main street to the river, and then walk along the river.
It takes about seven or eight kilometers to walk through the ancient city, but it is crowded and lively, so you don’t feel tired all the way through.
When they arrived at the street of inns, Zeng Wenjie asked Mu Qingyang to pick a hotel he liked and book a room.
Wushui County is a major tourist county, and during holidays, housing prices are extremely high.
Moreover, this inn is a relatively high-end one, so the price of a room is 800 yuan.
Ouyang Yun and the others instantly looked solemn, and then Zeng Wenjie mocked: "Call me brother one by one, I'll pay for your hotel stay!"
"You idiot!" Ouyang Yun cursed indignantly.
Jiang Yu simply bent two fingers, touched the table with his knuckles, and said, "Dad!"
Zeng Wenjie burst out laughing instantly. King Jiang Hai is really not particular about trivial matters!
Zeng Wenjie paid the money, which made the three gossipy sisters feel a little embarrassed. They had insisted on coming with Mu Qingyang, but when they arrived at the place, they found that the house prices were outrageous and they were short of money.
After Zeng Wenjie's joke, the awkwardness subsided a little.
"The price is so expensive!" Niu Fangfang said in a daze at this time.
"It's like this during holidays. On weekdays, the room rate is only two or three hundred yuan at most," said Zeng Wenjie.
Ouyang Yun said, "Isn't this exactly the entrepreneurial opportunity Cao Feng has been pursuing? Let him open a hotel in the scenic area."
Zeng Wenjie asked, "Is Emperor Cao Feng still pursuing Chu Qingbai?"
Ouyang Yun said, "Yes, he works tirelessly, but Chu Qingbai doesn't pay much attention to him."
Zeng Wenjie shook his head. Emperor Cao Feng had thrown a pack of cigarettes to Chu Qingbai in the cafeteria, exposing the fact that she could smoke.
Just for this matter, it would be strange if Chu Qingbai still looked at him straight in the eye.
After entering the inn and finding their own rooms, Zeng Wenjie said, "We'll meet downstairs at six o'clock. Don't be late. Let's go eat together."
Everyone had been walking since getting off the train and was a little tired. They planned to take a short rest in the room before gathering for dinner.
After Zeng Wenjie threw the bag back into the room, he went straight to Mu Qingyang's room.
The downside of having so many people is that he and Mu Qingyang have to get two rooms. After all, little Mu's face is not yet as thick as diamond.
"The scenery in Wushui County is so beautiful." Mu Qingyang had taken off his shoes and socks, and was sitting on the bed with his bare feet, relaxing, and exclaimed.
Looking out the window of the room, you can see the river and the opposite bank. The scenery is really nice.
Zeng Wenjie said: "The scenery is even better at night, when the colorful lights in every house are lit up, and the photos will be amazing at that time."
Mu Qingyang said, "You must take more photos of the night scene. I bought a big photo album and want to fill it up."
Zeng Wenjie sat next to her and saw that she was turning her ankle, so he took the initiative to give her a foot massage.
It's quite tiring to walk such a long distance.
"It seems that your skills are no worse than those of a real technician?" Mu Qingyang couldn't help asking.
Just kidding, this is the experience accumulated from two lifetimes. I have gained this experience by massaging feet hundreds and thousands of times.
Moreover, Mu Qingyang's feet are delicate yet plump, white, tender and smooth, and quite comfortable to pinch.
Zeng Wenjie said, "My hourly rate is very high, 800 yuan per hour. Boss, do you want to come on board?"
Mu Qingyang leaned against the pillow and laughed, saying, "I haven't been this happy in many years. It turns out that happiness is really quite simple."
"That's because you met me, so you are so happy." Zeng Wenjie said arrogantly.
"It's a good thing I met you!" Mu Qingyang smiled sweetly.
After a while, the two of them sat on the sofa chairs on the balcony, enjoying the breeze and the scenery.
Zeng Wenjie grabbed a cigarette, and Mu Qingyang quickly lit it for him.
"At night, you can also take a pleasure boat to tour the ancient city, starting from here, going downstream, and then coming back." Zeng Wenjie gestured.
"Your strategy is really comprehensive!" Mu Qingyang said.
"Of course, I've worked hard to make sure you have fun and feel comfortable!"
"Mmmmm, thank you!"
Zeng Wenjie was smoking a cigarette and leaning lazily in his chair, and he seemed to have a rare sense of relaxation.
Mu Qingyang said, "Grandma called me yesterday and told me that the ancestral house has been renovated. We can go there for the New Year this year. Then, we will renovate the house on the old street next year."
Zeng Wenjie said happily, "You have to be the one to convince the two Xuanming Elders. If it were me, even if I talked my mouth off, it would probably be useless."
Mu Qingyang blushed and gave him a blank look. Although he was persuaded, the excuse... was all about marriage!
"By the way, when you were being PUAed at home, you didn't even try to resist? How can you be such a good-tempered person when you practice martial arts?" Zeng Wenjie suddenly asked.
Mu Qingyang was stunned after hearing this, and then said: "I was young at the time, and what happened to my grandmother has always made me feel very guilty. I often wonder, if I hadn't been so greedy, would the ending be different?"
Zeng Wenjie reached out and touched her head, saying, "So, do you have the courage to go back and face those who hurt you?"
Mu Qingyang glanced at him and asked, "Why should I go back? I think my current home is great!"
She has already regarded Zeng Wenjie's home as her own home. To her, perhaps this is the real home that makes her feel warm.
On the other side of the Yangtze River, there is just a cold house, and all you can feel is the coldness of steel and concrete.
Zeng Wenjie nodded, but some people had done things that hurt her, and they would have to pay the price.
In his previous life, Mu Qingyang chose to shout "Robert" on the rooftop. Although that would definitely not happen in this life, why not do something for her? What's more, he had already made an agreement with Jiu Ye!
Jiu Ye is very powerful in terms of personal martial arts, but he is just an outsider after all.
"I really want to bring Grandpa Xie to our new home to celebrate the New Year." Mu Qingyang suddenly said with longing, "But he likes to be alone, I don't think he will agree."
Zeng Wenjie opened his mouth but still didn't tell her the details of Xie Jiu's situation.
Instead, he thought about finding a chance to give her the bank card that Xie Jiu had given him. Perhaps by then, she would naturally understand.
"Make up a nice story."
Zeng Wenjie thought so, otherwise, Xiao Mu would be very sad.
We rested in the room until six o'clock, then went out together and went downstairs to meet.
Jiang Yu looked at Zeng Wenjie teasingly and said, "You don't even miss this little break time?"
Zeng Wenjie said, "King Jianghai, can you please stop thinking that everyone is as filthy as you are?"
Jiang Yu wrinkled his nose in disdain and said, "If I were a man, I would definitely not miss any opportunity."
"Get out." Niu Fangfang pushed her away with her butt, stopping her from saying anything more.
Jiang Yu, this guy, changes boyfriends frequently. His QQ beeps non-stop every night. His highest record is dealing with five chat boxes at a time. He is simply insane to the extreme.
Ouyang Yun looked at Zeng Wenjie expectantly and asked, "What are we having for dinner? Please give me your food tips!"
Zeng Wenjie said with a smile, "Live by the mountain, eat by the mountain; live by the water, eat by the water. Of course, we'll have grilled fish! After eating grilled fish, we'll take in the night view and take a pleasure boat tour of the ancient city. After getting off the boat, we'll find a small bar on the shore for a couple of drinks, and then go back to the hotel to rest."
So Zeng Wenjie found an old restaurant and ordered two dishes: grilled fish with tofu and grilled fish with vegetables, and some side dishes.
Then, he looked at Mu Qingyang and said, "You glutton, please eat slowly. If you get stuck with a fish bone again, our plan will be ruined."
"Wow, Mumu is really stupid. He actually got a fishbone stuck in his throat. I wouldn't... uh uh... cough cough cough..." Jiang Yu was mocking him, but suddenly his expression changed.
Mu Qingyang immediately gloated and said, "Who is stupid? You've been shot, hurry up and take a taxi to the hospital."
After saying this, she became a little worried again and said, "It's not serious, right? I'll go with you."
Jiang Yu put down his chopsticks, laughed heartily, and said, "I was just teasing you."
Niu Fangfang couldn't help but hit her on the head with her chopsticks and scolded, "You made me worry about you! I think you've learned 70% of Zeng Wenjie's dog."
Mu Qingyang pouted in dissatisfaction and said, "Calling you King Jiang Hai is indeed right. It's okay to lie to other boys, but you even lied to your best friend."
"A joking lie can enhance our friendship." Jiang Yu said with a wink.
"Bah, you little bitch Huizi is full of nonsense." Ouyang Yun sneered.
Zeng Wenjie couldn't help but laugh and said, "If Shi Jing were here, he would be so mad at you that he wouldn't be able to eat. He has already mastered Chinese and is studying in Zhongyuan Province!"
The grilled fish tastes very good, crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, with delicious meat. The grilled fish with tofu is spicy, while the grilled fish with vegetables is more fragrant.
Mu Qingyang finished three bowls of rice in one breath, and then soaked the fourth bowl of rice in the broth of tofu and grilled fish, feeling very satisfied.
Not only the grilled fish, but even the side dishes are delicious.
When I checked out, the prices were quite cheap, and the total cost was over two hundred yuan.
When we came out of the hotel, it was almost dark. The colorful lights in the entire ancient city were lit up. Looking across the river, the colorful lights were connected into one, which was very dazzling.
"This night view is absolutely stunning!" Ouyang Yun exclaimed, "It would be so romantic to fall in love here."
Zeng Wenjie suddenly sneered.
Ouyang Yun suddenly felt awkward, coughed twice, and said, "It would be even more romantic if we could come here to date and bring friends to enjoy such a beautiful night view!"
Jiang Yu covered his mouth and laughed secretly, saying, "Yunzi, please stop talking. If you keep talking, Zeng Wenjie will instigate Mumu to throw you into the river."
Niu Fangfang said slowly: "I will go back to my room and confess to Yue Lao."
Ouyang Yun said unhappily, "I've told you so many times, don't follow Zeng Wenjie's example and call me squad leader!"
"Wow, he's really obsessed with being an official. He doesn't even work in school, but he still wants us to call ourselves officials." Jiang Yu said with a smile.
Zeng Wenjie pulled Mu Qingyang under the streetlight and said, "Stand like this, sideways, and look over there. I'll take a picture of you."
After posing according to Zeng Wenjie's instructions, I took a photo.
This photo is taken in a literary style, and it looks very beautiful when paired with the gorgeous night view. The scenery is beautiful, and the people are even more beautiful.
In a hotel room not far away, Zeng Mi was sitting on the balcony with a drawing board in front of him.
She looked at the five people under the street light not far away, and could even faintly hear their laughter.
Then she picked up her paintbrush and began to paint quickly on the paper.
What she drew was the streetlight by the bridge. Standing under the streetlight were not five people, but a younger version of herself. She was standing sideways in the same posture as Mu Qingyang just now, and then, there was a Zeng Wenjie taking pictures of her.
By the time she had perfected the details of her painting, the person under the streetlight had already left for the next stop.
Then, Zeng Mi looked at his painting and smiled with a hint of satisfaction.
Fortunately, humans have imagination, and imagination can make up for many shortcomings.
"Alas~"
In the end, she couldn't help but sigh softly, and her mood became mixed again.
Wang Xiaobo said it very casually: since you have made a choice, don't regret it.
But in this vast sea of people, how many people have the talent and temperament like him and can do it without regrets?
Zeng Mi peeled off the paper and planned to frame it and put it in the teahouse.
She suddenly had a lot of inspiration and began to seriously draw skins of some tragic female characters in "Hero Killer", such as Yu Ji, Zhaojun, Li Shishi, Chen Yuanyuan, etc.
Then, she couldn't help but make a phone call to disturb Zeng Wenjie.
"Where is it?" she asked.
"Wushui County." Zeng Wenjie answered truthfully.
"It's a place with beautiful scenery," said Zeng Mi.
After hanging up the phone, she smiled and treated it as if they had just been together.
At this moment, I somewhat understood Feng Xiao's open-mindedness and clarity.
