All the way silent.
Sitting in a taxi to go to the booked hotel, Jiang He kept looking out the window, watching the people coming and going on the street.
She didn't know what she was looking forward to. She had already seen it several times on the Internet. Now that she had set foot on this land and looked at the neon lights on the street corner, she still felt a little bit disappointed.
Gusu... is really gone.
People and things from a thousand years ago have been buried in this land.
"Very disappointed?"
After getting out of the car, Xu Qing touched her hair.
"No." Jiang He shook his head, twitched the corner of his mouth, and smiled at him, "I've seen it on the Internet a long time ago."
"However, when I really come here, I will still think of some past events." He said.
Xu Qing understands very well that she lived here for more than ten years a thousand years ago, and it has only been less than two years in modern times, so it is normal for her to be like this.
But after all, she is a heroine who walks the rivers and lakes, Jiang He took a deep breath, brushed away all those thoughts, turned her head to look around the nearby streets, took Xu Qing's hand and walked towards the hotel.
"Is it here?" She looked up at the name on the hotel and asked.
"That's right, are you hungry? If you're very hungry, you can eat something before going up. We don't have much."
"Put down the bag first, and then go out for a stroll."
"Also."
Xu Qing thought for a while and nodded in agreement.
He still maintains his previous habits, wanting to rest first after a long car ride, and then go out for a walk the next day—obviously, Jiang He didn’t have this idea, she wasn’t tired at all, it was only before six o’clock, and she didn’t want to stay in her room Can't live.
After practicing piles and boxing for a long time, my physical fitness has improved unconsciously. I don't know how it compares with the effect of practicing in the gym for a year. Anyway, Xu Qing feels it and thinks it looks very good.
After sitting in the car for a long time, I am not tired at all now, and even want to do two sets of boxing activities.
Entering the hotel lobby, showing their order, they got the key smoothly. Xu Qing and Jiang He went up to the second floor and followed the house number to find it. It was a double room by the street, with two beds inside, clean and tidy.
"One for each person?" Jiang He raised her eyebrows. She was not involved in the room reservation, and it was unexpected when she came in and saw two beds.
Has this guy changed his face
"You're thinking about shit."
The next moment, Xu Qing broke her guess, took off the backpack on her shoulders and threw it on the outside bed, then lay down on the other bed and moaned, "We both sleep here, and put the bags over there." and clothes."
"Obviously we're not married, yet we've been sleeping in the same bed..."
Jiang He muttered, he was already used to it, but occasionally he suddenly realized that this was not right, and there was no good way...
It's all this guy's fault!
It's all a conspiracy.
"Oh, we're married."
"Just get a certificate."
"It doesn't matter whoever gets the certificate, put it in someone else's place, you are fraudulent marriage, I will tell you if you want to be accused."
"You tell me."
"..."
"Other people's family is not a thousand-year-old heroine." Jiang He hummed and opened the backpack, found his bear bag from it, and slung it on his body.
Generally, girls carry it with them, but when she has a bigger bag, she likes to stuff it into a bigger bag, and only takes it out now.
Xu Qing only lay down on the bed for a while, then turned over and got up, looked around and felt around, even shook the phone, and then groped into the bathroom.
Jiang He looked at his ghost-catching posture and didn't quite understand, "What are you doing?"
"Look to see if there is a spy peeping, and you have to guard against it when you go out."
"Is there still such a thing?"
"Normally there won't be... It's not a big mistake to be careful. It's safer to book a double room than a double room."
Xu Qing looked around with his mobile phone, checked that there was nothing there, and then he was relieved. He went to the window and opened the curtain a little, looking at the street below.
"Modern life is very troublesome." Jiang He sighed.
"The technology has improved. Let's go down and take you to eat Malatang."
"Mala Tang?"
"Want to eat?"
"..."
Jiang He always felt that Xu Qing meant something, and smiled treacherously.
There is no way, there are two people and there is a lack of information, what is Mala Tang thirteen times... I have never heard of it, it is an old-fashioned thing, even if I surf frequently, I can’t get this meme.
After a short rest at the hotel, both of them were already hungry, so they went out to look for food without further delay.
Xu Qing didn't eat Malatang, and Xu Qing just made a joke to entertain himself. Jiang He was curious about holding the key card.
Xu Qing didn't know what she was thinking, and kept looking left and right on the road, paying attention to the shops along the side. He wanted to buy a physical map, Suzhou City or a larger one, or a tourist guide map, to see if Jiang He could use it according to the Take Huqiu, King Wu's Tomb, and Hanshan Temple as coordinates to find out where she used to live.
For more than a thousand years, maybe some hills have become plains, or forests and hills have been razed to the ground to build residential areas or parks, it is impossible to say.
Xu Qing feels that the hope of finding it is very slim, the terrain has changed, a village...
Looking at Jiang He, it seems that his mood has calmed down, just like when he set off, he looked around curiously.
Suzhou is much better developed than Jiangcheng. Jiangcheng doesn’t know how many lines it is. It’s barely a city. Walking on the streets here, you can feel the prosperity here, with bright neon lights. It’s just one street, and it’s close to the center of Jiangcheng. Pretty much there.
The lights are on.
The number of pedestrians on the road has not decreased in the slightest, and there are all kinds of people riding bicycles and walking.
"Big city."
Jiang He looked around and sighed.
"Either those people like to go to the big cities, and the big cities are good." Xu Qing looked at this new first-tier city and felt emotional. You get what you pay for, and you can't find too many disadvantages of expensive things except that they are expensive.
"In comparison, Jiang Cheng is really too low." He shook his head.
"Do you want to move here?" Jiang He asked.
"I can't afford to move. The housing prices here are tens of thousands per square meter, and there are restrictions on purchases."
"How many thousand?"
Jiang He clicked his tongue, lowered his head and counted with his fingers, "Then the one we live in would be worth at least one million if it were here."
She was shocked, and it might be difficult to buy a house here in her entire life.
It's better to cover it yourself.
"Your village is more valuable, it's a pity."
Seeing her movements, Xu Qing couldn't help laughing, "The former little rich woman."
"If my house can stay until now..."
Hearing this, Jiang He imagined that she was really a rich woman. Once the house was sold, she would take Xu Qing back to Jiangcheng to farm, and she would have nothing to worry about for the rest of her life.
It's a pity that even if she kept it, no one would admit it. It can't be said that she is the owner of the house and ran over to recycle it...
Puyi still needs to buy a ticket to enter the Forbidden City.
The two of them didn't walk too far. They strolled on this street. When they got to the corner at the end, they entered a snack bar called Gusu Specialty. They wanted to take Jiang He to a big meal. Seeing the name of the store, he I don't think I need to go too far.
There are only some ordinary snacks inside, and the decoration is also very ordinary, but Jiang He is very happy.
Every place has its charm and characteristics, and you can feel the difference after sitting down.
I can't tell exactly what is different, but when the ordered dishes were served, Jiang He's eyebrows twitched, and his happy expression faded a bit.
In Jiangcheng, small restaurants are characterized by affordable prices and large portions. No matter which store you enter, there are big plates and big bowls—you can’t keep it if the bowl is too small.
And the noodles here are a little more expensive, and the ones served...
emmm...
Jiang He suspects that it is a gift, like buying a large barrel of oil in a supermarket and giving away a small barrel of oil.
Looking at Xu Qing, Jiang He broke off the chopsticks, and after a few mouthfuls, there was not even soup left. He rubbed his stomach, and it felt like eating a small snack.
Xu Qing scratched his head, looked at the menu and ordered a few more.
"No need to pack, eat here." He specifically ordered.
Both of them eat a lot in Jiangcheng, and when they came to the small restaurant here, it was like the kind where Lu Zhi entered a steamed stuffed bun shop with stacks of bowls.
Shocked the surrounding circle of people.
Good guy, you have to be hungry for three days, right
After Jiang He finished eating, he wiped his mouth and did some calculations, and immediately felt that the prices here were terrifying.
Sure enough, the house is so expensive, and the food is also very expensive.
"If you continue to eat like this, I won't be able to support you anymore." She looked at Xu Qing's rice and said.
"What are you pretending to do? Call again if you're not full... Or go out and look around to see other delicious food."
"Let's go out and look elsewhere later..." Jiang He whispered.
She felt that when Xu Qing said this, the surrounding eyes seemed to turn around again.
After Xu Qing finished eating, he put down his chopsticks, feeling a bit worse. After riding for a whole day, he ate something before getting on the bus at noon, but he hasn't eaten anything yet.
Xi Wu has a good appetite... No wonder Jiang He was skinny and malnourished when he first came.
"You are not full."
While standing up, Xu Qing chatted with the waiter.
"..."
The waiter had nothing to say.
Watching the two foodies walk out the door, the waiter wiped off his sweat and quickly cleared away the dishes, otherwise the new customers would really think they were a black shop when they saw it.
"It's so expensive. If we lived here, wouldn't we have to eat and go bankrupt?"
Jiang He went out to chat with Xu Qing.
Xu Qing ordered soup in the middle. He thought it was a bowl as big as a basin in Jiangcheng, which could be shared between two people, but it turned out to be a small crock pot the size of a fist, and it disappeared after a few mouthfuls.
"It's because we eat a lot...not all of them. This is the difference between the north and the south, as well as the reasons for the big cities, and we eat a lot, and a combination of many aspects." Xu Qing comforted her, this is the case here, like that kind of couple The ready-to-eat noodles with scallion oil, the size of a fist, is not seen in Jiangcheng, and it is only available in the better developed Los Angeles city.
The more prosperous the economy, the more tricks there are. In a small place like Jiangcheng, the roadside shops still focus on food, with big bowls and big pots.
"It's a blessing to be able to eat. Some people want to eat so much but can't eat it... Let's take a look at this soup dumpling."
Xu Qing, who once thought Jiang He was a foodie, now has a very good appetite.
I used to go out to play and saw a street of snacks and wanted to eat it, but I couldn’t eat it after eating a third of it. That kind of regret... It won’t happen now, and I will go there tomorrow to eat and wear directly—everywhere should have such a street.
On the first day in Suzhou, Xu Qing took Jiang He to eat, eat and go shopping together, and finally strolled back while rubbing his belly.
Without buying a map, Xu Qing took out the computer from her bag, lay down on the bed and searched out the comparison map of ancient Suzhou and modern Suzhou, and then showed it to Jiang He. Once, the stockade was hard to find.
"We came out to play, those things are over, let's go." Jiang He sighed.
Finding it can't change anything, the traces of her existence have already been completely known.
"It's okay, let's go shopping more, and play around while playing."
Xu Qing handed her the phone, packed her clothes and ran into the bathroom to take a shower.
On Jiang He's wish list, there are only a few big items left on the plane and shopping around, and the other small things have been dealt with. Now seeing the current appearance of Gusu, he suddenly loses interest.
A car horn could be heard faintly outside the window, and she stared at the ceiling in a daze.
When Xu Qing came out with his upper body bare, Jiang He came back to his senses and turned his eyes to his collarbone with water droplets.
"Are my muscles strong?"
Xu Qing posed like a bodybuilder.
"Weak chicken."
Jiang He curled his lips, looked away disdainfully, and then looked back.
In fact, it is not appropriate to say that the chicken is weak. It should be said that the goose is weak, and it has been raised to a higher level.
After taking a shower, they all got into bed, turned on the bedside night light, and Xu Qing stroked Jiang He's back with his hands.
"do you know?"
"what?"
"Couples go on a trip together, if nothing happens, there is a 90% chance of breaking up after returning."
"..."
Jiang He rolled his eyes at him, and pulled the quilt over his body, "We are husband and wife now."
"That should be more..."
"you try?"
"I have to try it!"
Xu Qing stood up, Jiang He raised his hand and grabbed his arm.
Seeing this, he turned his wrist to block Jiang He's hand, and tried to hold her down by using his weight advantage.
Jiang He rolled away like a loach, and before Xu Qing could react, he reached out to grab his arm again.
Boom!
Snapped!
"what!"
Xu Qing rubbed her arms, gritted her teeth and continued.
Crackling... creaking...
There was a lot of movement on the bed.
A strange cry sounded from the next door, and the two of them stopped at the same time and froze in place.
"..."
"..."
Embarrassment spread.
The couple is next door, and they fight here.
Jiang He's face gradually turned red, and his eyes wandered away, avoiding Xu Qing's eyes.
"me… "
"I didn't expect the sound insulation to be so bad, I miscalculated." Xu Qing was a little annoyed, the two of them definitely couldn't be in this environment for the first time.
"..."
Jiang He hesitated to speak, it was the first time she had experienced such a situation, and she was a little at a loss.
Watching movies at home is secretly watching alone, who has heard of this!
Seeing Xu Qing put her ears against the wall, she suddenly widened her eyes.
How can this person be so shameless!
a moment later...
The two of them leaned against the wall facing each other, listening to the singing next door.
"When we're done, we'll get married, and then..." Jiang He lay back on the bed and wrapped up the quilt tightly, hesitating.
"What else?" Xu Qing burst out.
"I'll beat you again!"
When Jiang He raised his eyebrows, this guy would push forward.
"I'm going to challenge you."
Xu Qing pointed at Jiang He and whispered.
Jiang He raised his eyebrows.
boom!
Xu Qing stabbed with one hand, was blocked by Jiang He, and then punched with the other hand.
Strike with an iron fist!
Mutual domestic violence.
Crackling... creaking...
The bed on this side became lively again, and Xu Qing cried out in pain from time to time, no less than the one next door.
More than ten minutes later, after venting all his strength, Xu Qing grinned and lay down rubbing his arms.
The little lady is more skilled.
Take you down sooner or later!
