Dong Qiangqiang was looking for Tong Lele and patted Feng Chong on the shoulder gratefully: "Ask Zheng Chunhua. She should be fine. She is at that century-old wine stall over there now. Go and ask. I wish you well. Good luck!" Dong Qiangqiang said as he pointed in the direction of the wine stall, turned around and squeezed into the crowd.
"Hey, Dong Qiangqiang, this opportunity is rare..." Feng Chong's shout was drowned in the howling north wind. Seeing that Dong Qiangqiang had no intention of looking back, he smiled bitterly and shook his head, "This fool."
Dong Qiangqiang looked around, but did not find Tong Lele, and no one answered her cell phone. Perhaps because of the noisy environment, Dong Qiangqiang had no choice but to call Lao Bai. Lao Bai answered the phone very quickly, saying that he was walking towards the bank and asked Dong Qiangqiang to go find him. Dong Qiangqiang immediately changed his direction and headed towards the bank.
The straight-line distance from the Christmas market to the bank is less than 1,000 meters. Normally, it would take Dong Qiangqiang less than 5 minutes to walk there. But now, unlike in the past, various Christmas huts with different contents fill up the empty space in the past. In the quiet market square, there are even open-air singers who expand their stage into the narrow stall gap outside the Christmas hut when they sing until they can't help themselves. Waves of tourists came and receded like a tide, and Dong Qiangqiang was trapped in the crowd. Although he wanted to fight his way out of the crowd, there were too many people around him. Even though he was tall and tall, he couldn't walk in the crowd. Zhong Ye was struggling and could only look in the direction of the bank and sigh.
However, slow movement is not all a disadvantage. The direct benefit of passive slowdown is that Dong Qiangqiang can immersively savor the romantic and wonderful sensory feast of this Rhine-side metropolis together with tourists from all over the world, instead of just skimming over and over.
Dozens of tall, beautifully decorated Christmas trees stretch for miles. The golden light emitted by the tree decorations dispels the cold air in the dark winter, guiding tourists from all directions like brightly lit sentinels. The twinkling Christmas lights add to the festive and peaceful atmosphere, turning the Christmas market into a sea of sparkling lights (no one seems to care about light pollution anymore). In front of the majestic and solemn background of Trier Cathedral, the normally low-key and simple century-old Market Square is becoming radiant with the festive atmosphere.
The most ordinary gardeners, blacksmiths, carpenters, cooks, spice makers, brewers, and toy vendors are all scrambling to offer their best at this most important moment of the year. precious.
Happy people tasted delicious food, marveled at various arts and crafts, danced to the music played by small wind musicians and choirs, and the singers who seemed to be stars kept eliciting bursts of applause and applause from the onlookers. cheer. Santa Claus carries a red bag and walks among the crowd, handing out candies to children and those who are good at reciting scriptures. In addition to attracting the attention of children, the carousel also firmly entangles couples. Street magic, face painting and fire juggling made Dong Qiangqiang fascinated and eye-opening.
As he penetrated deeper into the heart of the Christmas market, the enticing aromas of grilled sausages, roasted chestnuts, mulled wine, French fries and a wide variety of delicious specialties enveloped him like a huge invisible net, and for the first time he saw someone. Pour chocolate sauce on the steamed bun-like food, and then place carrots, celery and other vegetables as decorations next to the chocolate steamed bun. A drink that makes people blush is next to the dish, and next to the drink is a smiling and cheerful person. , dancing face. He couldn't help but think: Maybe people in the Middle Ages, like now, would stay together by the blazing fire and enjoy sumptuous food on cold winter nights.
Just when he lamented this Christmas city, when he was built with heart blood and feelings, it was appropriate to make the dreams that made all of them realize the glorious market, he vaguely heard from far and near. "The sound of horse hooves. After he made a careful inspection, all he saw was a muscular figure wearing battle armor and pulling a black carriage.
When he was thinking about what he should buy as a gift for Du Lan, someone suddenly shoved something into his arms.
He was caught off guard and immediately noticed a bulging brown paper bag in his arms. He raised his head in confusion and saw a silver cross shining coldly in the wind.
"What is this?" His question was drowned in the background of laughter, and he was not sure if the other party heard him.
Lu Wei opened his arms and hugged him tightly in the crowd.
He was confused by Lu Wei's actions, and for a moment he didn't know whether he should return the hug.
"Thank you for everything you have done for me." Lu Wei let go of his hand as he spoke, turned around and entered the crowd again without looking back, as if nothing happened.
Opening the brown paper bag, Dong Qiangqiang found that it was filled with various Christmas foods.
Dong Qiangqiang finally left the noisy crowd.
At the end of the corridor paved with rounded cobblestones is a majestic and hollow giant bronze knight statue. It was dark behind the statue. The knight was like the gatekeeper of the dark world, silently gazing at the sea of light in front of him, while Lao Bai was leaning on the cornerstone of the statue and waving to him.
When he walked next to Lao Bai, he discovered that there was a quiet dark alley behind the statue, with only one or two dim street lights still working conscientiously.
"This road is a bit dark and may not be easy to walk on. Are you good on your feet?" Dong Qiangqiang asked with concern.
"It's like walking on flat ground." Lao Bai smiled nonchalantly and patted his shoulder, then turned and walked deeper into the alley.
Dong Qiangqiang quickly followed. Using the light behind him, he saw the bizarre graffiti on the mottled walls on both sides.
Lao Bai seemed to have something on his mind and walked very silently. Dong Qiangqiang wanted to ask him what he and Tong Lele were arguing about just now, but he hesitated several times but could not speak. The two of them just walked in front of one another in a dull manner.
Finally, Lao Bai took the initiative and spoke: "What did Lu Wei put into your arms just now?"
Dong Qiangqiang didn't expect that what just happened would be seen by Lao Bai. He couldn't help but was stunned when he heard Lao Bai say again: "I'm from here. I can see that she has a crush on you, but you have Du Lan now. And that student union just now. Chairman, I’m afraid I have thoughts about you. You are a smart person, don’t be confused about these things.”
"You misunderstood. I have nothing to do with them. They are just ordinary friends." If it were anyone else, Dong Qiangqiang would not bother to explain, but Lao Bai is different after all. "The things you are worried about have not happened before and will not happen in the future."
Lao Bai smiled meaningfully: "It's fine if you don't."
"Well," Dong Qiangqiang finally summoned up the courage to ask, "just now... I saw you and Tong Lele over there, and they didn't seem happy..."
