After changing clothes and tossing for some time, it was already half past ten when we officially went out. The two of them didn't delay much along the way, and drove directly to the foot of Xiangshan Mountain.
It's just that there are a little more tourists coming to Xiangshan than I expected. Wearing sunglasses, Chen Yuanming looked out of the car window and saw the road leading to Xiangshan's main entrance was crowded with people. Although it was not comparable to the crowd tactics of later generations, all he could see were tourists with large and small bags. There is no shortage of some out-of-town groups holding tour guide flags.
Aware of Chen Yuanming's gaze, Xiao Junyi explained with a smile, "I didn't expect there were so many people here? It's been the Beijing Xiangshan Red Leaf Festival recently, which has been held for 7 or 8 years, and it's considered a little famous. Every year at this time of the year, there are people who join the fun and climb the mountain. It was crowded with people. But we don’t have to go the right way. I know there is a good mountaineering route at the foot of the mountain. Let’s go have a meal first and then slowly climb the mountain.”
It was really different to have an aboriginal company. The Hummer did not turn on the main road, but drove along a small road for another ten minutes, and stopped in front of a rather remote courtyard.
"Old Yang's restaurant, it is said that the ancestors were the imperial chefs of the former Qing Dynasty. The craftsmanship is very good." Xiao Junyi walked out of the car with a smile and took people into the room. From the outside, it looked like an ordinary residence, but the environment inside was unexpected. The hotel is clean and elegant, and there are many single rooms and elegant rooms, which are not inferior to ordinary high-end restaurants.
"Xiao Shao, brought your friends to see the red leaves? It's a good season this year."
"Why did you entertain Xiao Yang, and the wife returned to her parents' house?" Xiao Junyi asked jokingly.
The man who was called Xiao Yang was not annoyed, he smiled honestly, "Isn't there a lot of people recently, so I went up the mountain to help the cook. It's also a good thing that Shao Shao called early, otherwise my father would have to go to set the table."
"It's fine if you don't go." Xiao Junyi didn't open the food counter, he waved his hand and said, "Hurry up and serve some good dishes, we'll have to climb up later."
"Okay, Xiao Shao, just wait!"
This question and answer, it is not difficult to see the special features of this restaurant, I am afraid it is the prototype of the private kitchen in later generations, right? Chen Yuanming looked at the lover who had been chatting with the shopkeeper with great interest. After seeing this look, Xiao Junyi didn't dodge, instead he smiled and winked at him, "How is it, Master, my choice is extraordinary, right?"
"It's a bit of a playboy." Chen Yuanming raised his eyebrows and gave an accurate assessment.
"Hey~~" Xiao Junyi grinned, "It's not like I am the stubborn master, that is, there are a few good people in the circle who are proficient in eating, drinking and playing, and I have played with them a few times before I slowly recognize it. It's a pity that I've been so busy in the past two years that I can't keep up with the trend."
Chen Yuanming shook his head, "Actually, you don't have to fight like this..."
"How can I catch up with you if you don't fight?" These words were answered neatly, like a declaration of challenge, but also like a sweet love language. Coupled with Xiao Junyi's too bright eyes, it was even more exciting.
Chen Yuanming raised his teacup and took a sip, and by the way, he lifted his foot and stepped on the sneakers that were rubbing against his calf.
Xiao Junyi gritted his teeth in pain, retracted his dishonest foot, smiled and refilled Chen Yuanming's cup, "Thank you Chen Dong for your love~"
Chen Yuanming has always been like a piece of wood in front of outsiders, and he is very satisfied to hear such love words.
The food was served quickly and the taste was really wonderful. After finishing the lunch, the two climbed up the mountain road. This is not a repaired concrete staircase, but a forest path stepped out by tourists. Although there are no elegant and magnificent temples and temples, the scenery along the road is not inferior to the scenery on the right road.
It has officially entered November, and the autumn is no longer harsh, and it only brings out the warmth that seems to be absent. In this docile sunlight, the trees in the mountains also appear more vigorous and tall. The canopies of the yellow pine trees have long been erected, and the red leaves show distinct color bands, some of which are as bright as the dawn, red as blood, and some are pink and lovely, like a cherry blossom tree. There are also golden ginkgo biloba, emerald green pines and cypresses, facing the endless blue sky, like falling into a thick and colorful picture.
The dirt road is not easy to walk, not only is it winding and rugged, and many sections are very steep, but the two of them climbed very happily, sweating on their foreheads in a short while, but no one said to stop, so they went quietly and quickly. Climb to the top of the mountain. From time to time, overhead will pass a tourist cable car, swaying by the mountain wind, and occasionally there will be a few vague screams and laughter, like an invisible barrier separating the distance between them and the mortal world.
The highest peak of Fragrant Mountain is about 500 meters above sea level. Generally, it takes at least 4 to 50 minutes to climb to the top of the mountain. However, it took only half an hour for the two of them to stand on the highest point of the mountain. Since it is not the right way, there is still some distance from the peak. , but the scenery under his feet does not change at all.
Unlike standing on a tall building overlooking the street view, the height of this mountain range gives a sweeping view of the entire Beijing city. There is no mist, sand and dust, the air is like being washed by water, making the distant scenery clearer, the ancient palaces and the modern city are intertwined, the artificial lake and the asphalt road reflect the same light, but it is too far from the city. , on a skyscraper, he would be proud of being the king of Ling Jue Ding, but in an instant he became lonely and vague, as if to be engulfed and melted by this vast world.
In the previous life, Chen Yuanming was not a person who likes to travel. He was too busy with work and ran around day and night to make a living. His emotions and mentality were very depressed, and he had no interest in swimming in the mountains and rivers. It was only later that someone taught him to "taste" life, exquisite meals, beautiful scenery, desires and undercurrents under the feasting and feasting.
However, in his heart, there are some things that cannot be changed by others. What he actually loves is not the beautiful and gentle township in Jiangnan, but the majestic atmosphere that belongs only to the north. Now his knowledge and experience have allowed him to gradually understand the magnificence of this mountain and river, and it has also made him fascinated by the world.
"I like the way you look..."
A voice came from his ear, Chen Yuanming turned his head slightly, and met those smiling eyes. Xiao Junyi's forehead has condensed a little bit of sweat, making the hair become silky, which looks a little funny, but it does not damage his handsomeness. Coupled with the warm eyes like autumn, it is even more difficult to look away.
“…less pretentious, looks real, and comes alive.”
A hand stretched out to his forehead, and the sweat in his palm merged with the sweat on his forehead, and wiped them all together.
"I don't know what your kid has gone through. In short, wearing a mask of deputy senior and prudent, it's not too tired. It's refreshing, natural, and great."
Chen Yuanming reached out and grabbed the palm resting on his forehead. The Rolex watch on his wrist seemed to be soaked with sweat, bringing out a bit of heat.
"Aren't you curious? What have I experienced..."
This is what Chen Yuanming has never asked anyone, and it is also a question that cannot be explained to others about his revived corpse.
Xiao Junyi was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect the other party to ask this question at this time, but after smacking his lips, he still smiled and shook his head, "It's a lie to say that you're not curious, but don't ask some things, it depends on your virtue. , knowing that it wouldn't be a flattering experience..."
Slowly withdrew the fingers on the other's forehead, Xiao Junyi held Chen Yuanming's slightly sweaty and warm hand with his backhand, "But when you want to say it, I'll be happy to listen."
The words were very frank, and so was the attitude, but Chen Yuanming felt that his heart had been turned upside down. He has met people who couldn't wait to discover all his secrets, met people who had no interest in his experience and only cared about flesh | lust, and also met people who made him cover up all the things he liked, but no one ever met Give him such distance, and such respect.
His fingers tightened slightly, and Chen Yuanming clenched it back. At this moment, he felt an unprecedented fear, which made him swallow all the secrets and lock them in his heart. No one knows better than him the source of all of this, which is a near-cheating survival, a fallacy that cannot be explained by any science or philosophy. The higher he stood and the farther he looked, the more he understood this.
Perhaps it was this fear of stealing his life that made him desperately want to change something to repay this divine gift. If he squandered this opportunity, if he gave up this gift, would he be deprived of new life by an unknown big hand. Or maybe it's just the cruelest joke, when he's on his way to fame and complacency, that big hand will make his life stop at the age of 32 again, and let everything be lost.
Deep down, he had imagined this, more than once. Therefore, changing the world and doing what he knows and can do becomes a necessity in life, so that even if his life stops at the age of 32 again, he will at least not live this life in vain, there will be many people , Many things prove that he lived this life. And this kind of fear from the heart may be the driving force behind him.
But now, fear broke the shackles of the mind and surfaced. At this moment, he was even afraid that this was just a wonderful dream before his death, extending a second to infinite length, a perfect fantasy. Maybe the next moment, what he will face will be blood again, with no bones left.
His heart was twisted into a ball, and he found that he was afraid, afraid of losing everything he had now.
"Fuck." Xiao Junyi was taken aback and looked at the man whose expression changed drastically in front of him, "What's wrong with you? Don't be so tangled up in it!"
The fingers were already pinched by the other party, and he found that Chen Yuanming had no intention of opening his mouth. Xiao Junyi sighed helplessly, and stretched out his hand to embrace him, "You kid, don't dig into the horns. If you can't think of it, you can take it slowly, no Someone will force you. We are only a few years old, and time goes on..."
time goes on...
The stickiness and trembling in his palms were slowly controlled, Chen Yuanming took a deep breath, the fragrance of flowers, fruits, and trees on this Fragrant Mountain poured into his lungs along his nose. He finally calmed down.
The voice was steady and firm again, "Yes, we still have a long, long time."
