Merchants in Jinzhong originated in the early Ming Dynasty and reached their peak in the Qing Dynasty. In the Ming Dynasty, Taiyuan prefecture ruled five prefectures and 20 counties, including present-day Xinzhou, Jinzhong, and Yangquan Luliang. There are still many compound remains, some of which are still in use. Lin Yan intends to bring Xiao Yu over here. It is best to find a basis for reasoning. If not, at least let him find some old impressions in the deep house with blue bricks and black tiles. Although there are three thousand historical materials, the only thing they can rely on now is This ghost has memories from time to time.
It was 8 o'clock in the evening when we arrived, the lights were on in the summer night, the streets were full of traffic, and the food stalls next to the train station made the sound of barbecue. These people who had stayed in the barren mountains for four days couldn't help but swallow secretly. saliva.
Finally returning to the modern society, Lin Yan heaved a sigh of relief. Yin Zhou looked around the neon-flashing neighborhood in vain, and sighed: "Floor, I finally saw a building with more than five floors! It's so foreign." He rushed up to take pictures of Lin Yan shoulder, "Treatment, you have to reward us for whatever you say tonight, I have already thought about it, let's live in the Hilton hot spring, don't think about it."
Lin Yan clutched his wallet and gritted his teeth.
When I was at the front desk of the hotel, I ran into another difficulty. I didn’t make a reservation in advance. When I arrived, the triple room and the single room were all full, leaving only the standard room. Yin Zhou and A Yan had already received their room cards and went back to the room to rest. Live, the hall is resplendent and magnificent, the fox sees everything fresh, and runs to the fountain to fish for goldfish to play, Lin Yan dare not look at Xiao Yu, carefully said: "You take Ah Che, I will open another room."
The waiter checked the information on the computer, and from time to time curiously looked at the two men with children out of the corner of their eye. His eyes moved back and forth on Xiao Yu's face, which made Lin Yan inexplicably upset, but he didn't dare to show it.
Xiao Yu was silent for a while, and said let's live together, I don't need to sleep at all, besides, we are always together, I am used to it. Lin Yan's palms holding the signature pen were slightly sweaty. Hearing Xiao Yu's words, he breathed a sigh of relief.
There were two beds, Ah Che spread his arms and legs to occupy one of them, Lin Yan slept on the other, Xiao Yu stared at the street scene in a daze, there was no night in the city, behind the heavy curtains there was a little bit of neon all over the street, it was a nest of red and green star. Every time Lin Yan woke up, he would see Xiao Yu standing by the window in the same posture, calling him to sleep in a low voice, and the ghost would lightly shake his head. He woke up several times, and when he opened his eyes again, the sky was already pale.
Xiao Yu's face remained the same, he had turned into a ghost, and all the feelings of fatigue and hunger left him, like a stone, a thing, drifting without roots and ground, and the satisfaction and happiness of ordinary things had nothing to do with him.
She wished she could kiss those thin lips again and coax him to smile, but the ghost's eyes were staring at the void in the distance, and she had no time to care about him.
The self-service breakfast for two hundred and eighty people was extremely rich, but when Ah Che got involved, the rest of the people became errand runners, and they all circled around him before they finished their meal. No one refused, he didn't dare order Xiao Yu, and only commanded Lin Yan and the three of them to run around to get food for him. Yin Zhou finally took a leisurely sip of soup, and said sadly and indignantly that foxes only eat raw meat. Ache's ears were very sharp, and he rubbed his belly proudly: "I know where all the tributes you sacrificed to the world and ancestors went to the grave?"
"When the people leave, they will all serve our fox family. Big pieces of pork head meat, salted fish, sausage and ham, steamed buns stuffed with meat, all delicious." Ache shook his head, revealing a pair of pointed ears, "I was bored when I was a child." Sometimes I turn into a person and come down the mountain to wander around, Grandpa doesn’t know, if he hears about it, he will definitely beat me.”
An old couple at the next table couldn't help laughing out loud when they heard an eight-year-old talking about his childhood.
Lin Yan took a stack of travel brochures from the front desk of the hotel, wrote down the addresses of the merchants' compound one by one, ticked the boxes to arrange the schedule, and Ache followed suit. He couldn't read, so he only picked out the pictures, all of which were dark. The yard complained again and again, ignored Lin Yan's objection and rushed to flip through it, and suddenly pointed to one of the pages and became excited: "I'm going here!"
He was referring to a colorful promotional photo of an amusement park.
"No." Lin Yan snatched the booklet, "We won't be staying here for a few days, hurry up and get down to business."
When the fox heard this, he pursed his mouth and was about to cry.
"Hey, my brother will take you to eat Liuweizhai sauce meat and listen to the lotus falling." Lin Yan coaxed him in a good voice, "Your brother Yu is leaving soon, I don't have so much time to play with you."
The tears in Ah Che's eyes grew deeper, as if they were about to burst at any moment, several people took turns to comfort him, Xiao Yu patted Ah Che's head, took the pamphlet and read it carefully, and said to Lin Yan: "That's all, Take him there, the ancient city of Jinyang behind here looks familiar."
It turned out to be the opening ceremony of the restored ancient city relics garden. The promotional slogan said that the ticket price is 50%, not only there are various Ming and Qing buildings, special snacks, but also a carnival stationed here during the summer vacation for children to have fun. At that time, a stage will be set up in the garden to perform shadow puppetry and perform Lin Chongye. Ben. A few small photos, the square and formidable big courtyard, Daiwa Zhumen, the courtyard wall is extremely high, two smooth blue stone drums at the door, the light and shadow of clouds are floating on the ground, the shooting time is excellent, the porcelain blue sky is shining through Painted in light pink, the square branches stretch out into the ice pattern of Ru kiln, the eaves are the most mysterious place, and the black-clothed assassin hides under the cracks of the tiles, that is the old China in the memory.
Suddenly touched, Lin Yan nodded along, and the little fox was about to jump up happily, knocking over the sweet corn soup and spilling all over Yin Zhou.
"Little scourge." Yin Zhou cursed secretly.
There is a tourist bus at the entrance of the hotel to pick up and drop off. When we arrived at 8:00 am, the sky was slightly cloudy, the air was cool, and the weather was great for sightseeing.
The restoration of the ruins and modern repairs are very grand, the park is full of cars, children in twos and threes are brought by adults, holding balloons in their hands, Ah Che wants to buy it when he sees it, he can't wait to drag Xiao Yu to the booth, staring at the paper The mushy kite, shadow puppet, masked figure and lantern almost made his mouth water, he caught a few of each, and he also fell in love with the blue cotton candy that was bigger than his head. Lin Yan rushed over to rescue the scene, stuffed a few red notes into Xiao Yu's pocket, and said: "Ache likes you, you take him for a stroll, can you even recognize the money?"
"Yeah." Xiao Yu took the change from the peddler, and there was a playful child beside him, and the ghost's gloomy expression cleared up a little, and he smiled at Lin Yan, "You come too, I can't take him alone. "
Lin Yan put his hands in his pockets, feeling a little lost.
"how?"
"It's okay, I just missed you." Lin Yan lowered his head and said, the surrounding music was harsh, his voice was very low, but the ghost still heard it, and his expression was slightly shocked.
Ah Che didn't notice the embarrassment of the two of them, so he took Xiao Yu's finger and pointed at the Ferris wheel: "I want to play with that."
Xiao Yu turned his head to signal, but Lin Yan was taken aback. It's a small glass box that couples love to play with, face to face for half an hour, overlooking the city scenery, embarrassing and embarrassing to death, he quickly diverted the fox's attention Li, pointing to the right casually: "It's not interesting, let's go there to play."
It turned out to be a haunted house. On the promotional poster, there was a woman in white with long hair covering her face. Sadako was everywhere.
Before he had time to regret it, Ah Che had already changed his mind, and ran towards the two of them holding one hand and the other.
The fox demon brazenly said that he was never afraid of ghosts. He rushed into the dark plank road first, and after walking a few steps, the door was closed, and the surrounding darkness was bottomless. Chill.
A white shadow floated past from the corner, it was a staff member pretending to be a ghost, Lin Yan bit his lower lip and told himself that it was all fake. I had to cover my mouth quickly, almost screaming.
Someone behind him was patting him on the shoulder, and his scalp was numb. Seeing the joyful walking of the young and old, Lin Yan wished he could chop off the hand he had just shown the way.
The thick darkness blocks the line of sight, and only the gloomy back in front of him can be seen. He wears modern clothes, and the T-shirt is a little smaller, stretched on his body, and his well-proportioned and strong muscle lines can be vaguely seen. A section of blue and white neck was exposed behind the hair.
Just as she was in a trance, a faint blue light cast from both sides of the plank road, a head of black hair hung down, her white skirt was fluttering, Sadako appeared from nowhere, her hair was blown by the wind from the plank road, and it was blowing coldly Lin Yan's face.
"Xiao, Xiao Yu." He leaped out, grabbed the ghost's arm, and said in shock, "Don't go too fast."
"Are you afraid of this?"
Lin Yan's face turned blue, and he stammered: "I was frightened by this movie when I was a child, if I knew it was Sadako... I, I wouldn't have come in."
Xiao Yu changed positions with him, let Lin Yan walk a little ahead of him, turned his shoulders sideways, and carefully protected him. When he got close, he made contact, and his fingers touched fingers. Lin Yan's palms were sweating coldly. How warm is that ghost.
The man-made strange environment, the gloomy and depressing plank road, the winding maze that seems to be impossible to get around, the darkness breeds imagination, and the imagination breeds demons, the ears are filled with the faint sighs of female charms, and behind every narrow corner there is a female... Ghosts, even hanging upside down on the roof, the face of the dead, blue, green, black, accidentally bumped into, sour white dress, hair reminiscent of some unclean things, like a ball twisted in the sewer Group of black hair.
I can't wait to end this torment immediately.
Suddenly unable to hold on anymore, he grabbed the ghost's hand in the dark. Xiao Yu was stunned for a moment, pinched Lin Yan's hand in his palm, and clasped it tightly. Lin Yan turned around and put his arms around his waist, and the two embraced. Together.
Time seems to have stopped, in a safe space, in the arms of your sweetheart, where the wind and rain do not invade, and scholars who deal with darkness and bones all day long also have shortness of breath. Long, he seeks refuge in a real ghost from a room full of fake ghosts.
"I miss you, I miss you, Xiao Yu, I really..." bit the ghost's shoulder with his teeth, "I beg you, please don't want me..."
The second half of the sentence was actually not uttered, and it could not be uttered.
Xiao Yu gently stroked his back: "Be good, be obedient, let's go out first."
The two people finally found the exit after half dragging and half hugging. The sky was pouring down, and the little fox had jumped to the exit to wait for them.
"You two are really bad, afraid of ghosts, so shameless."
Seeing the cuteness of the child, passers-by couldn't help but stop and laugh.
If Lin Yan hadn't rushed over to beat him up, the little guy's fox tail would have been proudly exposed.
Xiao Yu caught up with Lin Yan and grabbed his wrist. Lin Yan turned his head and looked at each other, so nervous that no one could speak.
"Lin Yan, I..."
"Take what I said just now as if I hadn't said it. You were frightened. It's nonsense." Lin Yan interrupted him, striding forward.
After spending a whole morning in the amusement park, Ah Che had had enough of playing around, he could not walk, and was carried by Xiao Yu all the way to eat ice cream, Lin Yan followed him, holding a bunch of his trophies in his hand, playing pinball machines to win The doll, the Monkey King whose head was knocked off, the half-eaten sugar man, the roasted corn, and the glazed beads are not included in the bag.
The little guy soon yelled that he was hungry again, and went straight through the amusement park to the back door. A secluded and secluded ancient road led directly to the ruins of the ancient city. There was an old-fashioned teahouse on the side of the road, with an elm threshold, a carved screen wall, and a newly pasted The couplet reads, "An insight into the world is knowledge, and understanding of human feelings is the article." The three ancient houses are connected, and there is a gazebo at the end. A Yan and Yin Zhou are sitting and drinking tea waiting for them.
There is a small table next to the pavilion, and there is an antique blue and white porcelain vase, which is filled with scrolls. The flowers in the courtyard are in full bloom, and the cloves and beard branches grow densely, giving off a faint fragrance of grass and trees. On the other side of the gazebo is an artificial lake. A small bridge is built on the lake. The green lotus leaves are blown by the wind, and collectively roll out white waves. Narcissus and vetch grow on the shore, and a willow branch hangs straight into the water. , A string of small silver-blue butterflies hangs upside down from the tree.
The three of them sat down in order, and the waiter in the shop dressed up in ancient costumes, and quickly added three bowls of herbal tea, and also gave Guiling jelly with the ticket, mixed honey, and ate it to reduce the heat and relieve the heat.
"I asked. Behind is the ruins of the ancient city. You may not be able to finish your shopping in the afternoon. Set up a stage at two o'clock to sing shadow puppetry. You can go directly to wait after eating."
"Us?" Seeing Yin Zhou and A Yan standing up and about to leave, Lin Yan wondered, "Why are you two going?"
Yin Zhou pointed to the table: "We carried forward the great spirit of sitting on the stools, waited for you for three hours, and ate everything you could eat. The waiter in the shop thought we were occupying the table. I don't know how many times I rolled my eyes. The backup The troops have finally arrived, let's go shopping, you can do whatever you want."
"That's right." Yin Zhou winked at Ah Che, "Come here and tell you what's delicious."
The fox's eyes rolled: "I won't go, I will eat everything I can eat."
"Tsk, my brother has something to ask you." Yin Zhou couldn't help but pick him up, "Animals are animals, and they look good in the zoo. Why don't you get enlightened if you take them out for a walk?"
The waiter in the shop brought up a pot of aged bamboo leaves in a blue-and-white porcelain bottle, which looked strangely familiar. A Yan greeted: "Try this, a local specialty, but you can't drink too much, it has great stamina, and it's easy to get drunk. I, I just fainted for a while. "
The three of them moved faster than rabbits, Xiao Yu and Lin Yan sat face to face, looking at the lotus pond under Langyuan, not knowing what to say.
The roof of the ancient city is exposed in the faint mist in the distance. The tiles are connected to the tiles, a row of bright red lanterns, the noise of tourists and the music of the amusement park seem to be far away, and there is a stagnation under the angled pavilion Time, a hundred years comes quietly, that wine, that person, that year's evening drum and morning bell.
The fine porcelain cup filled a glass of wine, and poured it down with a raised neck, it was fresh and refreshing, with a lingering aftertaste.
"It's still fragrant, it's hot, try it?" Lin Yan smiled and poured another cup, and handed it to Xiao Yu, the ghost didn't refuse, he put it on his lips and sipped it, and it was considered drunk. Push the cup back on the table.
The heart beat suddenly and violently.
After drinking this half of the remnant wine, I intentionally drank your half of the remnant wine, but I don't know if my husband is of the same heart as me...
Half-awake, Lin Yan picked up the cup, sipped at the place where he had sipped, raised his eyes, Fox's eyes were not as attractive as his, and stared slantingly at Xiao Yu, this old-fashioned The gazebo and the warm wine seemed to be cursed. An ancient and mysterious contract slowly woke up under the Langyuan and Yingluo, and walked towards the deep house and the high and wide walls, hiding at the door, waiting for them.
No one can escape, natural disasters and man-made disasters, love is natural disasters and man-made disasters.
He rolled up his snow-white cuffs, wide and big sleeves, embroidered a light pink spring peach, a bit of femininity concealed under his hard exterior, specially left it for him to see, warmed a jug of wine carefully, and held it for him with his own hands.
"Family affairs are busy, and every shop is inseparable from people. I can't personally send you to the capital for the test. I will bid farewell to you and wish you a beautiful return."
"Lin Yan?" Xiao Yu frowned, "What's wrong with you?"
He still didn't realize it, he was drowsy, and he raised his hand to caress his face, eyebrows, eye corners, chin... There were already people around, watching the two young men flirting in public, Lin Yan felt as if he was overwhelmed, watching obsessively Looking at his face: "This journey will take several months, I will miss it every day, and don't forget to send a letter back."
Xiao Yu pressed his hand, put it on the table forcibly, and took the cup away: "Don't drink this."
"Leave me alone, I dare to say it when I'm drunk." He stared at Xiao Yu stubbornly, with infinite resentment, "At least I'm better than you, you never dared to."
Xiao Yu was not in the same space as him, and suddenly opened his eyes wide in astonishment. Is the person in front of him Lin Yan
The little fox, A Che, bounced back, holding a string of strawberry candied haws in his hand, wrapped in a transparent sugar shell, and stuck it out under Lin Yan's nose: "This is delicious."
He turned to look at Lin Yan, then at Xiao Yu, and asked in surprise, "What are you two talking about, why are you sweating?"
Lihun was startled, his whole body turned cold, Lin Yan suddenly came back to his senses, and stared blankly at his palm.
Yin Zhou and A Yan also rushed back, grabbed the untouched herbal tea in front of Lin Yan and drank it to quench their thirst. He pointed to the place where the crowd gathered in front of him: "There is a lottery over there, according to the number on the ticket, go and have a look first?"
Lin Yan was too lazy to move, and was dragged up by Yin Zhou: "Let's go, when can't we eat?"
"There are so many people in the garden, it's strange if you win the draw. Whatever you look at, you look like the old lady queuing up to buy eggs in the opposite supermarket."
Yin Zhou said disdainfully: "Even if it is a basket of eggs, we have made money. Hurry up, maybe you will save a few cents later. Grandpa Mao said, we must cherish the RMB!" Li secretly gave Ah Che a hint: "Are you sure?"
Archer nodded.
"Okay, I'll trust you once, your elder brother Lin Yan is in a bad mood, let's coax him, you're going to screw up your performance, hurry up and throw yourself in the toilet."
