Half an hour is not a long time, and it goes by very quickly when you are involved in one thing.
Wang Yan and Xu Hongdou rode a trotting horse together, took a few photos, and the time passed. After riding on the horse for half an hour and taking enough photos, Xu Hongdou naturally no longer wanted to ride a horse. Apart from the natural feeling of riding horses in the mountains and grasslands, she did not find the joy of riding horses. After all, the feeling was only a moment of freshness and could not last long.
When he got to the wooden house and got off his horse, Wang Yan held his arms and waited patiently for Xu Hongdou to take off his protective gear.
Just at this moment, a man walked out of the other door of the wooden house and was slightly stunned when he saw a guest. This was not because of anything else, but because someone suddenly appeared. He was unprepared and was a little frightened. It only lasted for a moment and passed quickly. However, his eyes stayed on Xu Hongdou for a little longer. This is of course normal, men like to look at beautiful women.
This is of course the sage male protagonist of this drama, Xie Zhiyao. He asked: "Are you tourists here?"
Wang Yan nodded with a smile: "While walking around, I saw the racecourse. It looked pretty good, so I just wanted to experience it, take pictures and so on."
"I am the owner of this racecourse. Do you have any suggestions on prices, services and other aspects? Speak up and we will definitely incorporate improvements."
"Not bad, everything is good."
Xu Hongdou stood up, flipped her hair, stamped her feet, smiled politely at Xie Zhiyao, and turned to Wang Yan: "Okay, let's go. It's almost dark, it's time to have dinner, you Remember the road, right?"
Wang Yan nodded and waved to Xie Zhiyao: "Let's go, boss. Goodbye."
"Goodbye. Come and play again when you have time. I'll give you a discount."
After waving to Xie Zhiyao, Wang Yan and Xu Hongdou left the racecourse and walked toward the north unhurriedly.
"It must be past seven o'clock for the two of us to walk back at this speed, right?"
"almost."
"Is the restaurant still open? We won't be hungry tonight, right?"
"How is that possible? Even if the hotel is closed, you won't be hungry. I see that there are vegetables and quick-frozen food in the refrigerator of the B&B. We can borrow them temporarily and return them tomorrow. There is no problem. And that Xie Xiaochun, let's have a meal with her It’s no problem. Besides, I also have instant noodles, self-heating rice, cooked food, etc. in the car. If that doesn’t work, we can also drive to the ancient city. There are many restaurants there, so don’t worry if you’re not hungry.”
"The amount of exercise I did today is more than I did in the past week combined. Now, I am tired, hungry and sleepy. I don't want to think about anything. I just want to lie in bed and sleep until I wake up naturally."
Xu Hongdou lazily stretched out his arms and moved his neck, feeling a sense of enjoyment after exhaustion. She could feel that after today's night, her spirits would be very good tomorrow, better than ever before.
Seeing Wang Yan beside her, who was walking with his hands behind his back, she asked, "Hey, I heard what you just said, can you still cook?"
"If you don't know how to cook when you travel around the world, you will suffer. Although I rarely camp out, I always find hotels and eat in restaurants in cities and towns, but there are always a few times when I have to cook something by myself. Let's have some instant noodles. The taste of your next self-heating meal is not pleasant.”
"What can you do?"
"That's too much. After all, I travel a lot, and I know a little bit of every cuisine. If I have time another day, I'll make a table. You'll know after you try it."
"That's it." Xu Hongdou asked, "What are your plans for tomorrow?"
"And you?"
"I guess I've been sore these past two days and won't be able to go anywhere."
Wang Yan smiled and said, "What's the point? You'll have a rest tomorrow morning. After eating eight bowls at noon, you'll go to the city to have a look, and wash your car by the way. There are a lot of snacks in the city. If you eat until you come back in the evening, it won't be the same as today. After walking such a long way, you can still rest at any time, are you going?"
"Of course I'll go. Of course I don't want to stay in a B&B when I go out to play. It's boring. I guess it's not interesting for you to go out to eat by yourself, right?"
"Thank you for your company."
Xu Hongdou also smiled. After a day of contact, he had an excellent sense of Wang Yan. He is humorous and knows a lot. Perhaps it is because of his wandering around the world. He has a free and uninhibited temperament and is very natural to get along with.
She sighed: "Can I ask a question?"
"Um."
"How did you get there before?"
Wang Yan raised his eyebrows with a smile. It was getting dark and he felt calm. Especially now that he was walking in the wilderness where night was approaching and everything was silent. He couldn't help but want to talk about further topics. Of course, this step forward is not a step forward in the relationship between men and women, but a deeper exploration and understanding of interpersonal communication.
He said: "Most of the time we are alone. Occasionally there will be some people we met on the road. After walking together, eating, drinking and having fun for a while, we will break up somewhere and never see each other again. There are always so many partings."
"Never again?"
"They are all passers-by, all passers-by, and of course they will never be seen again."
"Then you won't add your contact information?"
"Will you get in touch after adding the contact information? You should be able to understand this. It's okay. Just look at your contacts and see how many of them are talking to you. They are always eager to contact you when they first separated, and then they returned to them. In my life, I continued to face a new journey, and gradually we stopped contacting each other, which is normal."
Wang Yan waved his hand: "Playing happily is not suitable for talking about this kind of topic. It is evening, so what I said is a bit sad. It's time for you to lie in bed at night and think about it."
"Then how did you adapt before?"
"Just let nature take its course. After more experiences, you won't feel anything. Read more chicken soup articles, where they write about these things quite clearly. No one can always be by your side, but by your side There will always be someone, that’s pretty much what it means.”
Wang Yan strolled and carelessly. In Xu Hongdou's eyes, "He is so free and easy, he has such a story..." and "He is not pretending to be strong...".
I'm not afraid of anything else. It's just this thought that is the most deadly. Xu Hongdou herself fleshed out Wang Yan's journey, and she thought about the bitter tears in it, which made her make up an image of Wang Yan, and then put it on Wang Yan's body. Then she will find that what she imagined is not as rich as the real Wang Yanyi. This man must be carefully considered...
The rules of business premises in Yunmiao Village are that no noise can be made after eight o'clock. In other words, around eight o'clock, the local villagers were already preparing to take a rest. This is the normal schedule for most people in the village. They don’t have much entertainment, and they don’t stay up late playing with their mobile phones. They wash and go to bed at eight or nine o’clock, and get up at five or six o’clock the next day to eat and work.
So not surprisingly, when Wang Yan and Xu Hongdou returned to the village, the restaurants were closed, and even those that were open were out of ingredients. They had prepared very little, and the leftover dishes were not fresh the next day, so they naturally became their dinner.
But fortunately, there is also a barbecue stall open.
Xu Hongdou looked at the few remaining skewers that had been put on in advance and asked curiously: "Boss, there are no people in the village at night. Do you have any business?"
"Are you the new tenants of the courtyard? My name is Yang Guanjun, and I grew up with the owner of the courtyard."
Yang Guanjun’s appearance was quite professional. He specially wore a mask to prevent spittle from splashing. He smiled very kindly and said, “My business is not bad. They are all children, young people, and some uncles and uncles.” I occasionally buy some to go with the wine. After all, it saves me trouble here, and the price is not expensive. It is more convenient than them grilling at home. I am the only one selling barbecue in the village. I go out on time after six o'clock every night, and at around seven o'clock It’s almost sold out. There’s only so much left today, do you want to try it?”
Seeing Xu Hongdou looking at him, Wang Yan smiled and said, "Bake them all, pack them up and take them back to the courtyard to eat."
"Okay, I just happened to go home early. We are all tenants of the courtyard. I will give you a 10% discount. Come here often. The total is...scan this code." Yang Guanjun quickly set up the charcoal fire and picked up the remaining The large handful of skewers were put on the oven to bake, and soon the aroma started to rise.
Wang Yan was useless, Xu Hongdou scanned the QR code to pay and said, "Boss, let me ask, what about breakfast here?"
"Most people in our village cook at home. They just go to the store or the restaurant over there to buy a few steamed buns and steamed buns. If you don't like eating them, you have to go to the city. Although it's not far away, But you can’t go wrong just for a bite of breakfast, so you should cook in the small courtyard. You are all from big cities, and you probably don’t cook much on weekdays. It’s good to experience it now. I have pickles at home and I’ll give them to you tomorrow morning Send some over.”
"Thank you then. But it doesn't have to be so early, as long as you have time."
Wang Yan waved his hands with a smile, then walked aside and put the things he was carrying on the table. These were instant noodles, self-heating hot pot, plastic-wrapped cooked food, and beer drinks that he took from the car.
He took out two bottles of beer and handed one to Yang Guanjun: "Here, have a drink."
"Oh, look, I have wine here." Yang Guanjun took the beer with a smile, opened it and drank with Wang Yan...
It was nothing more than that Wang Yan was a little thirsty. Besides, Yang Guanjun is so enthusiastic and wants to give pickles to him. He can't hold them, and some of them are not interesting to talk about.
After chatting like this and drinking a can of beer, Yang Guanjun also grilled the skewers. Amidst his warm greetings, Wang Yan and Xu Hongdou returned to the windy courtyard...
"You go back and clean up first. I'll boil water and cut up the cooked food. It'll only take more than ten minutes."
"You really don't need my help?"
"You still need help for instant noodles? Go ahead."
Finally able to rest, Xu Hongdou walked briskly in front, and after hearing Wang Yan's words, he went straight back to his room. Just at this moment, from the side room that served as the kitchen and living room, a woman with braids, big eyes, a oval face, and fashionable and loose clothes came out.
"Hello everyone, I live in Room 1, you can just call me Nana. Did you just come back after playing for a day?"
"Yeah, I'm not familiar with anywhere, so I walked further and further away. It took a lot of effort to walk back, and I didn't even eat. Oh, by the way, my name is Xu Hongdou, and his name is Wang Yan. I'll go back and clean up first. , we’ll talk about it later.”
"Okay, let's go." Nana nodded with a smile. It felt good to meet for the first time.
This Nana is now working in Youfeng Restaurant, making coffee, milk tea, and heating instant meals every day. She was originally an online female anchor. Because the amount of donations she promised was too small, netizens thought she was so rich and wore such clothes. They are tens of thousands of luxuries, so they should donate more to carry out cyber violence against her. She couldn't bear it any longer, so she lost her temper and came here to enjoy life anonymously, licking her wounds when nothing happened.
"Hello." Wang Yan nodded to Nana with a smile and walked towards the kitchen: "Have you eaten? If not, would you like to eat some together? I bought some barbecue, instant noodles, self-heating hot pot and cooked food."
"I've already eaten, thank you. Did you bring this yourself? That's one of the bad things about the village. It's not convenient to eat. You have to come back early in the future."
While talking, the two of them entered the wing one after another. Nana said, "Wang Yan, let me introduce to you, this is..."
"Master Ma, I know. Xiaochun introduced us when we came here, but at that time Master Ma was meditating."
Wang Yan interrupted Nana's words, looked at Ma Qiushan who was drinking tea with him with a smile, and put the things in his hands on the kitchen table.
Ma Qiushan waved his hand and said with a smile: "I dare not say that I practice Zen. I am just a wild person and I don't understand the mysteries. It is purely a personal hobby."
After saying this, Wang Yan still thought highly of him. Instead of pretending to be aloof and talking nonsense, he admitted that he was practicing blindly.
However, Wang Yan's thoughts came to him too early and too quickly. Ma Qiushan paused for a moment and continued, "But I have been doing research for a long time, and even though it is a wild way, I still have some insights. If you have time in the future, , we can sit down and drink tea, chat and communicate."
Hmm... that makes sense. After all, it is normal for a middle-aged man who is greasy, claims to have been successful, and has a somewhat superior mentality to brag about his problems.
"Of course." Wang Yan nodded with a smile, fiddled with the electric kettle, and asked, "Have you eaten, Mr. Ma? Do you want to eat some more together? There is barbecue, cooked food, and beer. We can eat at the same time. Drink and talk.”
"Thank you. I won't eat after lunch."
"learn."
With a snort, Wang Yan opened his beer and gestured to Ma Qiushan, who responded with a smile and picked up his tea cup.
After drinking, Wang Yan unpacked the cooked food and asked, "Nana, Xiaochun said that our small courtyard is full. There are only four people in six houses. Where are the remaining two?"
"The person in room three is Hu Youyu. She is singing in a bar in the city and hasn't come back yet. The person in room four is Damai, Mai's Mai. She is an online writer. She is not used to the bustle, so she usually stays in the room. Codeword."
"According to what you said, she is an Internet writer who doesn't have to appear in public. She is not used to the bustle. She has been typing in her room, so her work and rest must be unstable. Has she eaten? I have the crispy duck, a specialty of your province, and... If you have pig's trotters, can you give them to her?"
"No, she will come down and eat by herself when she is hungry. But you can leave some for her, I will tell her via WeChat."
Nana and Damai are good friends. She is happy to get along with new people and is caring and tolerant to Damai. She patted her forehead: "Oh, by the way, let's add some prestige. We have a group in Youfeng Xiaoyuan, and with the two of you, we have it all."
"good."
