"Sister, sister, wake up quickly, we are in the imperial capital!"
After his arm was lightly tapped several times, Suyi woke up in a daze. When he opened his eyes, he saw that the passengers in the carriage were already moving.
At this moment, the bus has not completely stopped, but everyone is already eager to get their luggage and prepare to get off.
Sister Sucheng moved her head away from his shoulder, stood up immediately, and moved her already stiff body on the spot, and suddenly there was a crackling sound in the bones all over her body.
Then he took off their backpacks from the luggage rack, unzipped them and took out the plastic water cups inside, unscrewed the lids and handed them over.
Suyi took a few sips of water from the water glass and kept some. After Sucheng got it back, he drank it in two or three gulps and breathed a sigh of relief, "We're finally here."
Su Yi brushed the sweaty hair in front of his forehead and couldn't help but curled his lips when he saw Su Cheng's sad look on his face.
This boy has always been full of energy, and this is the first time she has seen her brother look tired.
However, this journey is indeed not easy.
The trip lasted almost three days and three nights, and they could only sit on the narrow seats in this sealed carriage. If they wanted to go to the toilet, they had to wait until the car drove into the service area. They didn't even dare to drink more water on the way.
They almost got into the wrong car while reversing. If Sui hadn't noticed something was wrong and asked the driver in time before the car started, they would have gone back and forth from where they came.
"Yeah, we're finally here!"
While talking, the bus finally stopped.
The door opened, and passengers immediately crowded out of the car.
The siblings also got out of the car with the flow of people. Without the air conditioning in the car, the hot July weather in the imperial capital suddenly hit their faces.
"This imperial capital is much hotter than ours!"
Suyi narrowed his eyes and looked up at the dazzling sun, "Indeed. Go get your luggage."
Not long after, Sucheng had another colorful woven bag with two patches in his hand.
"Sister, I'll give you the phone."
The mobile phones were kept in Sucheng along the way. The border towns were not as peaceful as those in the interior. Stealing and snatching mobile phones was commonplace. Carrying a mobile phone in Sucheng was safer than leaving it in Suyi's hands.
But now that they are in the imperial capital, the safest place in the country, they don't have to worry about this.
His sister needs this phone more now.
In order to save power, mobile phones are turned off when on the road. Su Yi took the phone and turned it on first, "There's a text message!"
Seeing that she was standing in the bright sun and wanted to take a look, Sucheng tugged her arm quickly and said, "There is a car here and it's still in the sun. Let's go over there first and take a look."
Three minutes later, the siblings squatted in the shade at the base of the wall and finished reading the text message.
Su Yi had an expression of relief on his face, and his voice was a little more joyful, "That's great, the program team also provides a place to stay."
The reason why they brought so much luggage was that if they ran out of money for accommodation, they would find a place like a bridge to make do.
But even though I don’t have to worry about where to stay now, I still can’t bear to throw away the luggage I brought along.
"Then what are you waiting for? Let's go quickly, sister." Sucheng rubbed his belly and said longingly, "It would be better if you still manage to eat!"
"Greedy, just be satisfied if you have a place to live." Sui said, but after leaving the station, his eyes began to search for the stores near the station, "I'm a little hungry too, let's buy some food before setting off. "
However, after asking how much a bowl of water would cost, the siblings paused as they prepared to sit down.
After looking at each other, they said, "Sorry, boss, we don't want it anymore."
When I came out of the store, I met a middle-aged man walking towards me. After taking a look at the two siblings, he asked, "Are you taking the car?"
"How much does it cost to go to Hongcheng Tujing Hotel?"
After hearing the destination of the siblings, the middle-aged man was stunned. After taking another look at the siblings' clothes and the patched woven bag, he stretched out a finger and said, "One price, one price." Hundred."
Both siblings showed shocked expressions.
Seeing this, the middle-aged man patiently explained: "We are in the suburbs. The hotel you are going to is in the city center. It would take me two or three hours to drive there. One hundred yuan is a very conscientious price. You guys If you ask other cars around here, there is absolutely no one with a price lower than this.”
"How long does it take to walk there?"
The middle-aged man left with a complicated look.
Fortunately, before the siblings were really ready to walk there on their legs, they found out that there was a bus going to the city center at the station. The cost of two yuan per person was more acceptable than the one hundred yuan taxi fare. too much.
After finally getting off the crowded bus, the two of them looked around at the towering high-rise buildings. For a moment, they felt that their eyes were not enough.
They had seen the prosperity of the imperial capital on TV in small towns, but they were not as shocked as they were by being there.
"Sister," Sucheng finally looked away, "can you still distinguish between east, west, north and south?"
Su Yi: "..."
Although she didn't want to admit it, she really couldn't tell the difference at the moment.
Sucheng patted his chest and volunteered: "Sister, you wait here, I'll ask for directions."
After placing the people and luggage on a clean bench by the roadside, Sucheng took out his phone and looked around, took a deep breath and stepped forward, stopping a young man who looked about the same age as him.
After saying "Hello" a little unfamiliarly, the person stopped and looked over, "Do you know how to get to Hongcheng Tujing Hotel?"
"Hongcheng picture?" The boy who was stopped subconsciously repeated, and looked up and down at the person in front of him.
Wearing gray short-sleeves that were washed out and white, pants that were obviously too short, and a rare pair of artificial cloth shoes, he didn't look like someone who could stay in a four-star hotel.
"Are you sure you want to go to Hongcheng Tujing?"
Sucheng has long been accustomed to such looking eyes, which is why he asked his sister to rest and volunteer to ask for directions. After all, he is thick-skinned.
"Sure, do you know how to get there?"
"I know. Forget it, I have to go nearby anyway, so I'll take you there directly."
"Thank you. Please wait for me. I'll call my sister."
The young man stood there and looked at the two siblings who were walking back. He looked more at the woven bags they were holding, opened his mouth without saying anything, and led them to a black car parked on the side of the road. .
The car door opened, bringing out the cool wind and faint fragrance. Sucheng looked at the boy who motioned for them to get in the car, a little dumbfounded.
"How about you draw a route map for us and we can find it ourselves."
They haven't been able to take a shower for three days, so how can they be embarrassed to ride in such a clean and expensive car.
"The roads get denser and more winding as we get closer to the city. If you're not careful, you might end up at the wrong intersection. Are you sure you're going to find it on your own? Stop dawdling and come up. It's rare for me to want to do something good."
The young man said with a stern look on his face. It was a rare moment for him to feel compassion, but the other party still didn't buy it!
"Uncle Lin, help them put this luggage in the trunk!"
"Okay young master."
The two siblings got into the car bravely and sat down cautiously, their hands firmly placed on their knees and motionless.
The car door closed, blocking out the heat outside, and soon merged smoothly into the traffic flow.
The car was quiet until two cell phone rings rang almost at the same time.
Su Yi turned on his phone and saw another message just sent by the program team, "Dear Teacher Su, please go to conference room 301 on the third floor of Imperial TV before six o'clock in the evening to meet the "Heritage" program team."
Sucheng turned his head and asked in a low voice: "Sister, is there another news from the program team?"
"Well," Su Yi replied in the same low voice, "The program team asked us to meet before six o'clock in the evening. There must be some arrangements." She looked at the time again, "It's okay, we should be in time."
After the siblings exchanged words in a low voice, they raised their heads and met the eyes of the co-pilot in front of them.
The young man had a look of astonishment on his face at this moment, "You guys are also going to "Legendary", right?"
"Yeah?" Su Yi was stunned, and then she saw the young man shaking the phone in his hand towards her, and there was also a message displayed on the screen. The only difference is that 'su' is replaced by 'shen'.
"Ahem, my name is Shen Hechen."
"My name is Suyi, and this is my younger brother, Sucheng."
