Liu Liang took the initiative to open her bag, unlike many people who started to feel shy after arriving here.
Her bag was almost empty, so she wasn't afraid of others checking it. All the other things were in the ring.
And her clothes are simple, so it's impossible to hide anything?
Soon, she was released.
She didn't know how many times she had walked Ming Street during the day. Almost every time she walked there, she was familiar with it. She thought she knew Ming Street like the back of her hand. Even if she closed her eyes, she knew where things were sold.
What she thought was a dark street was actually the same as an open street. They just spread a piece of cloth outside and put things on the market to sell, just like when she used to set up a stall to sell cloth flowers in the open air market. No matter whether it was an open street or a dark street, it was just a different name.
Still, it remains the same in essence.
It was such a narrow street, still with those old signs hanging on it, and even the things she had always eaten were sold during the day and at night.
But when she actually stepped into this place, she found out that she was wrong, and she was quite wrong. Although this was still a street, it was not a bright street, and it was completely different from a bright street.
Red lanterns were hung everywhere, and even the signs of each store had changed, as if a stroke had been made in between, exchanging the two spaces.
The people selling things there all wore ancient costumes and had their hair styled in ancient buns, and they were the same for both men and women.
It was just that these modern people, who were still wearing cool clothes, began to feel out of tune with the ancient charm of this place, as if the place she was walking through was just a silhouette given to her by time, and everything here was unreal, just a deception given to her by her eyes, and also her illusion.
She continued to walk forward, weaving through this long street that was completely out of place to her.
She didn't know what fell from the sky, but it happened to land on her face. She took it down and put it in front of her eyes.
It turned out to be petals, a red petal, and then countless petals fell from the sky. When I looked up again, I could see the bright starlight.
In fact, Liu Liang had forgotten how long it had been since she had seen the real starry sky. It seemed that in that era of highly developed technology, buildings were getting taller and taller, and there were more and more cars. People were used to computers and smart phones, and they didn't even dare to go out unless it was necessary.
So at that time, people seemed to be closer, but in fact, their hearts were farther away.
That is to say, by then, she would not even be able to realize her wish of looking at the starry sky.
She just stood there, looking at the stars in the sky from time to time. People walked by her from time to time, their clothes blown up in the wind, and there was a faint fragrance brought by the petals.
Like magnolia and osmanthus.
People continued to come into the dark street. Liu Liang looked back at the door and found that there were quite a few people standing there. Only now did she realize that one had to queue up to enter the dark street. When the number of people here reached a certain point, the door would be closed. Only after the people inside went out would new people be allowed in.
Liu Liang couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. Fortunately, she thought of coming here earlier, otherwise, she would be blocked outside. In fact, she was wrong about this, because the real big guys would not show up at this time.
At this time, the things displayed and sold outside are all small gadgets, which cannot be called antiques. At most, they are more exquisite tourist products. Only at the end will the main dishes begin.
Of course Liu Liang didn't know this, and no one had ever mentioned it to her.
She visited several small stalls but didn't buy anything. She didn't feel any heaviness from these things, so they were all products of this era. Of course, they also made her feel a sense of dismay in the ancient charm of this place. Now this place was not so mysterious anymore.
Just like a scenic spot, everything inside is an imitation of ancient buildings, and even the staff are dressed in ancient costumes.
It's less natural and more contrived, so it's not that fun, and of course there's really nothing worth buying.
After walking past several small stalls, Liu Liang was no longer interested in shopping. In fact, she was a little disappointed. Is this what the so-called dark street is like? It seems that there is really not much interest. Only some snacks on both sides of the street are good. Some of them have been eaten before, and some have not. The taste is very different from that in the open street during the day.
So, Liu Liang stopped going to those small stalls and instead started eating the snacks here. Maybe it only happens once a year, so she can't buy anything, but she still has to eat more, otherwise she would have waited for half a month in vain.
She only tasted a little of everything because there was so much food here that she was afraid she wouldn't be able to eat it all. Although she already ate very little, she would be full if she ate a little from every stall.
Touching her stomach, Liu Jing felt that she would need to come out with three stomachs full to finish eating all the food here. She just didn't understand why there was only one day a year here. If there were three days, she could come here every day. Then, she would have tried all the food here. It's not like now, there are still many things she hasn't eaten. She also decided that before she left here, she would buy the food she hadn't eaten and take it back to eat slowly.
She walked and stopped, eating snacks she bought from the stall, and found a place to sit down. This was a halftime break, and also a time for her stomach to rest before they would fight again.
"Would you like tea?"
A middle-aged man in ancient costume asked Liu Jing, "Do my guests regret drinking my tea?"
Liu Liang took a bite of the snack in her hand, then looked back at the small teahouse in the open air.
There are many red lanterns hanging all around. They are real lanterns that use candles instead of electric lights. Sometimes the flames flicker and you can see that the lanterns flicker.
"How do you sell it?"
Liu Liang didn't want to walk anymore, so she wanted to find a place to rest her tired legs.
"Five hundred and one."
The man smiled and put one hand behind his back. Although he couldn't be said to have the appearance of an immortal, he was still quite suave.
"Five hundred per person?"
Liu Liang didn't feel it was expensive. This place could only be visited once a year, sometimes only once every few years. Spending five hundred on a cup of tea didn't seem to be a bad deal. Ordering things at tourist attractions was quite expensive anyway.
Liu Liang took out five hundred coins from her pocket and gave them to the man.
