Chapter 234 Internet Celebrity Attractions
"Do you think there is something wrong with what I did?" Zhang Wei asked.
Paris shook his head: "Actually, you've already considered enough. These people have nothing to do with you anymore. You do this out of the kindness in your heart."
Zhang Wei didn't feel that she was that noble, she just felt uneasy, but she felt much better when she got Paris's approval.
Soon Zhang Wei set off for Chenjia Village. She remembered that she took the train for several days and nights. Now there are high-speed trains, but they cannot reach the county town over there.
Zhang Wei finally bought a plane ticket to the provincial capital and decided to take a train to the county town after arriving in the provincial capital.
After getting off the plane, Zhang Wei remembered that it was around the turn of spring and summer when she left Chenjia Village.
Compared to the past, it is obvious that the economic situation of the county town is much better now. This small train station has also been renovated and looks much cleaner and tidier. There are fewer people and you can hardly see anyone leaving the station.
It was afternoon when she and Paris walked out of the station. She found that although the road surface in the county town looked smooth, there were not many people on the streets.
She wanted to find the old station, but she took Paris around for a few times and couldn't find it. It was getting late, so she could only find a hotel that looked decent.
Zhang Wei thought they would face the dilemma of the hotel not having reception qualifications again, but he didn't expect that although the front desk clerk was surprised, he still directly collected the deposit and completed the check-in procedures for them.
There seemed to be no other guests in the hotel. The front desk clerk was quite enthusiastic. After asking her, I found out that the bus stop had been moved to the other side.
He also asked Zhang Wei where they wanted to go. Zhang Wei said Chenjia Village, and the waiter actually knew it.
"Is it that cliff village? You guys want to go there too!"
Zhang Wei and Paris exchanged a glance, and Zhang Wei nodded.
“Yeah, do a lot of people go there to play?”
The waiter said proudly:
"Of course, the Cliff Village is a popular online attraction here. Tourists who come here are all there to have fun. Did you come all the way from abroad to see it?"
Zhang Wei could only nod in agreement.
"Then you can stay overnight and go tomorrow. It's too late today and we can't go up the mountain. It's not convenient to take the bus. I know a friend who drives a ride-sharing company. The bus is slow and bumpy. You can take my friend's car tomorrow and it will be cheaper for you!"
The waiter tried hard to sell her, but Zhang Wei said, "Let's talk about it tomorrow," and pulled Paris back to the room.
"Let's take the bus tomorrow," said Zhang Wei.
Paris agreed unconditionally anyway. Zhang Wei felt that they would be easily taken advantage of if Paris spoke, so she told him to let her do it outside and asked him to speak as little as possible. Paris carried out the order thoroughly.
Zhang Wei also tried her best to speak Chinese to him slowly. Even if she spoke slowly, he could probably understand, but he still couldn't speak it very well.
Zhang Wei got up early in the morning. She didn't sleep well in the strange place, so she took Paris to have breakfast here. However, the food here was heavy in taste and Paris couldn't get used to it, so she could only eat steamed buns.
Zhang Wei was quite adaptable to the spicy noodle soup. Although his stomach felt a little uncomfortable after eating it, his mouth was very satisfied.
They declined the waiter's strong sales pitch and finally found the bus stop. They were the only two people on the bus. The ticket price was slightly higher than before, at five yuan per person.
The bus wobbled to the town which looked somewhat familiar to Zhang Wei. Apart from the newly built road, there didn't seem to be much change.
Zhang Wei still remembers the market stall where she bought things. It looks the same as before. She also remembers that she walked barefoot to the town, but she can't remember the way to Chenjia Village.
But it didn't matter. After walking a few steps, Zhang Wei saw a huge sign for the scenic area. The photo on it was the path on the cliff that had daunted Zhang Wei many years ago.
Following the signs, they came to a familiar intersection. Zhang Wei and his friends could see a few scattered tourists who were holding trekking poles and looked like they were on a mountaineering tour.
There are many stalls selling local specialties on the roadside. Zhang Wei feels that even if he goes to Chenjia Village, he will not see the people he has seen before.
"Are you still going?" Paris also felt something was wrong. How could a village become a tourist attraction?
"Let's go and have a look!"
Zhang Wei decided to go up the mountain with everyone like an ordinary tourist.
Before coming, they left their luggage at the hotel and changed into casual shoes, so there should be no problem going up the mountain.
In fact, this mountain road is very different from the mountain roads Zhang Wei has walked on before. Not only is it much flatter, but there are handrails on both sides, and the stairs are made of wooden boards, making it effortless to walk on.
Zhang Wei remembered that she walked for a whole night and reached the cliff path that was only one person wide in less than two hours.
"Are you scared? Do you need me to carry you?"
Paris knew that Zhang Wei had a slight fear of heights before, so he asked with concern.
In fact, Zhang Wei was not that scared anymore. She looked at the bottom of the cliff and saw lush trees below. The unknown is what makes people scared, but she was not afraid of what she could see.
"It's okay. I'm not afraid of heights anymore. Plus, there are guardrails. Let's go."
That’s right, a row of wooden fences were built around the path, which made the path feel even safer.
"You know what? I crawled over there in the dark. I was a little scared at the time."
Zhang Wei can now recall what happened at that time very calmly.
"Thank you for your bravery. When I was seven, I was too scared to even go to the bathroom alone at night."
"Yes, thank you for my courage."
Zhang Wei doesn't need to be humble. If she hadn't run away at that time, the result waiting for her would definitely not be a good one.
The small guardhouse at the intersection was turned into a ticket gate and was newly renovated.
The ticket price is fifty yuan, which is said to include the cost of the tour guide. If there are five or more people, a tour guide will be provided to guide them.
Together with the previous tourists and Zhang Wei, there were exactly five people. Zhang Wei listened to the fabricated legends and looked at the dilapidated houses that were transformed into so-called folk museums and displayed some old farm tools.
There are also several houses that have been turned into high-end B&Bs, and Zhang Wei found the house where she used to live.
As expected, since the house was closest to the cliff, it was turned into a teahouse. A two-story viewing platform was built in the former open space in front, and the two former rooms were turned into the teahouse's kitchen.
Zhang Wei took Paris to sit by the window on the first floor, pointed at the house and told him:
"I used to live here, and one time I almost ran off a cliff from my yard."
“You must be scared living here.”
"Yeah, I'm afraid I might miss a step and fall down at any moment."
Zhang Wei found the teahouse owner and asked, "Do you know where the people who used to live here have gone?"
