Since Kou Chen is a rookie who is not even a novice in cycling, Huo Ran didn't take him on a long or difficult route, but chose a route... a road that can meet many uncles and aunts on the road.
He was reluctant to go on this road when he first started to ride, he felt bored, and also felt a little ashamed, but with Kou Chen, he had to be safe. Kou Chen didn't run out of kindergarten. Yes, at most it was just running all over the yard.
But in the first third of the trip, almost all the routes took the same section, so Kou Chen didn't feel anything.
Quite excited, the car was swish.
"Ride to the side," Huo Ran glanced at Kou Chen, who passed from behind to beside him, "It's not safe to have no cycling lanes for these few kilometers. You will come up and ride in a row when there are cycling lanes."
"Come up later." Kou Chen raised his eyebrows and rode in front of him with a few kicks.
When I first started, the road was flat and there was no slope. Everyone was very proud. They felt that they could travel around the world on a bicycle.
Today's weather is ok, sunny, but the clouds are thick, so it won't be very hot.
After passing through the section with a lot of cars going out of the city, there are fewer cars and people on the road, and the houses on the side of the road gradually become shorter. Going further, you can start to see more and more green.
"Where's the riding track?" Kou Chen turned around and asked.
"There's a sign in front of you, and you'll be there in one kilometer when you see the sign." Huo Ran quickly pedaled twice and walked ahead in parallel with him.
"Are these cyclists the same way as us?" Kou Chen looked around and saw that twenty or thirty people were riding in this direction.
"Not necessarily, just go out from here," Huo Ran said, "We haven't even started yet."
"It's been a fucking hour since we rode here from your house," Kou Chen turned to look at him, "It hasn't started yet?"
"The part in the city doesn't count," Huo Ran said. "I won't start counting downstairs from my own house. If you're tired... take a break by the roadside?"
"Are you underestimating me a little bit?" Kou Chen gave him a sideways look.
"No, you're the biggest." Huo Ran replied smoothly.
"It's good to know." Kou Chen nodded.
Huo Ran said, "You have the biggest face."
A little further ahead, cycling paths and trails appeared. A small part of the cyclists went out and continued along the road, and more people got on the cycling path.
"Where are those people going?" Kou Chen asked.
"There are many farmhouses over there, as well as fishing farms and strawberry orchards," Huo Ran said, "I went there to play."
"Isn't that very close? It's considered a ride," Kou Chen said. "Still wearing cycling clothes? We haven't worn them for two days."
"Our big brother in pants." Huo Ran reminded him.
"No clothes, no set." Kou Chen said.
"That's because you said it was ugly," Huo Ran said, "I usually wear it."
"It's not good-looking at first," Kou Chen clicked his tongue, and lowered his voice after thinking about it, "If you didn't scare me that it would wear out the eggs, I wouldn't want to wear my pants."
"...I didn't scare you," Huo Ran said, "it's easy to get bruised. Even if you don't get bruised, your butt will hurt a lot."
"Ah." Kou Chen suddenly laughed.
"Go away." Huo Ran glared at him.
"Go away—" Kou Chen shouted with a smile, swishing wildly, and the car sped out all the way.
Huo Ran sighed and didn't chase after him, watching the speed he was riding before.
Kou Chen's physical strength is still very strong at the moment, and his mood is also floating up more than 800 meters in the air, so the car is pedaling very hard. As soon as Huo Ran catches up with him, he stomps and rushes forward, surpassing the others. Huo Ran reckoned that he must still have a sullen expression.
Stupid, don't let me drag you with the rope for a while.
It didn't take long for Kou Chen's speed to slow down. When Huo Ran followed him again, he didn't accelerate suddenly, and he took a breath.
"Are you tired?" Huo Ran asked indifferently.
"Fuck, it's not that I'm tired," Kou Chen frowned. "It's that my legs are sore. Normally, I wouldn't feel too tired after running like this for an hour. Why is it so hard to pedal?"
"The force is different," Huo Ran said indifferently, "I advise you to be steady. There is a four-kilometer slow uphill ahead. If you can't ride, just get down and walk. I won't sympathize with you."
"Uphill?" Kou Chen was stunned. "Four kilometers... doesn't seem to be very long?"
"Well." Huo Ran nodded, "You better think it's not too long."
At the beginning of the slow uphill section, Kou Chen relied on inertia and felt that it was not a big problem. After a while, his thighs became sore.
"It's a fucking slow uphill," Kou Chen scolded as he pedaled, "Why is this incline slow? Is this a fast uphill! It's a fast uphill! It's a fast uphill! Yes..."
"Shout, shout," Huo Ran glanced at him, "Shout out the last bit of energy and push it over."
Kou Chen closed his mouth.
After riding a hundred meters, he asked again: "You don't care about me?"
"It doesn't matter." Huo Ran looked at him coldly.
"Who am I?" Kou Chen pointed at himself, "You don't care about me?"
"You're Twiggy," Huo Ran said, "Why should I care about you, Kou Tuituu is to blame, why should I care."
Kou Chen couldn't help laughing: "You are so cute."
"Go away." Huo Ran turned to look ahead and continued to ride.
This paragraph is indeed not long. If Kou Chen had not acted like a fool in front of him, he would not have felt sore in his legs now.
But after riding for a short distance, Huo Ran suddenly felt that his bike was a little heavy, and he was pedaling a little hard.
He took a quick look at the derailleur, there was no problem, so he turned his head.
Then he glared at Kou Chen behind him and cursed, "I'll fuck you!"
Kou Chen's left leg stretched out and hooked the luggage rack behind his car, and his right leg slowly pedaled the car, riding forward at his speed.
"I found out so soon?" Kou Chen said, "I just got on it."
"Nonsense," Huo Ran said, "I can feel the weight of this car a couple of times."
"How far is it?" Kou Chen asked, "To the downhill?"
"There is a bend in front of you and it goes downhill." Huo Ran raised his chin, "One kilometer."
"Let's go." Kou Chen retracted his legs, stood up, stepped on the pedals, and rushed out.
"You're crazy!" Huo Ran cursed.
"Waiting for you in front—" Kou Chen whistled.
"Turn aside when turning the corner, the speed of the car coming in front is high!" Huo Ran confessed.
"Follow your orders!" Kou Chen shouted.
It's a worry to come out and ride a bike with the sturdy and loving forced king.
Huo Ran frowned and watched Kou Chen stand all the way to the top of the slope in the distance, and then disappeared around the corner.
He could have rushed over, but with so many years of experience... No, you don't need experience at all to know that, for such a long distance, it's just like a jumping chicken, and Kou Chen will have to run out when he rides halfway. physical strength.
Still miscalculated, confused by Kou Chen, who had been studying hard during this period of time, and forgot the essence of this person.
Now that the hard study is over and the small goal has been achieved, it is when his mood is at its highest.
I should go to the farmhouse over there, pick up strawberries and fruit with the elementary school students, and then go fishing with their parents or something...
Turning around the corner at the top of the slope, he suddenly saw Kou Chen, who was standing on the ground with one leg resting on the road in front of him.
"Crazy!" Huo Ran rode beside him and stopped.
"I just drank a little water, but I didn't dare to drink more," Kou Chen said, "Let's bring this little water, where can we add it if we don't have it?"
"There are shops in the villages and towns passing by..." Before Huo Ran finished speaking, he saw that Kou Chen's expression was a little unsettled, "What's the matter?"
"What kind of village and town?" Kou Chen frowned.
"Don't worry, they're all next to the county town," Huo Ran responded immediately, "It's not the kind of wild mountain village that we hiked last time, we'll pass through the middle of the town."
"I really don't want to meet any tall sisters and short sisters again," Kou Chen sighed, "There is a shadow. Last birthday we went to a barbecue, and I was always worried that a woman would come out of nowhere."
"You're too easily frightened," Huo Ran touched his back, "No wonder you're afraid of twisting."
"Twisted a lot of people are afraid of it!" Kou Chen glared at him.
"Yeah." Huo Ran nodded with a smile, and patted him on the leg a few times, "It's going downhill, don't rush, you won't be able to stop in an emergency, and it will roll over."
"Okay." Kou Chen replied.
I have to say that Kou Chen's stamina is indeed very good, and he kept going fast and slow all the way. When they were having lunch in the town at noon, Kou Chen was in good condition, and he didn't wander.
Huo Ran bought two sets of 20 yuan in a small restaurant called Ten Yuan Full, and the two sat at a small table by the roadside to eat.
"Isn't ten yuan full?" Kou Chen pointed to the brand.
"There is only one meat dish for ten yuan," Huo Ran said. "If you are full, you will definitely be full. Some people will be anxious if they can't eat meat."
"Drink?" Kou Chen asked with a smile, "I'll buy it."
"Coke." Huo Ran said.
In this state of sweating, thirsty, and a little tired, Coke is so refreshing.
"Are we having dinner at the camp?" Kou Chen bought a Coke and filled it with half a bottle.
"Well," Huo Ran nodded, "it's summer vacation now, there may be a lot of people in the camp. If you don't want to eat, go back half an hour to eat in the town."
"If there are too many people..." Kou Chen asked in a low voice, "How many? Are the tents lined up? Can you hear everything?"
Huo Ran lowered his head to take a mouthful of food, swallowed it, and then looked up at him.
"Why?" Kou Chen felt a little uncomfortable when he stared at him.
"It's in a row, the tents are next to each other, and if you turn over, you might crush someone else's tent," Huo Ran said with a serious and sad voice, holding back a laugh, "I can hear it next to my fart, and I can hear it even if I'm breathing heavily. ."
Kou Chen looked at him with his mouth half-open in shock.
"Also," Huo Ran said, "you sleep outside the tent, using your sleeping bag."
Kou Chen closed his mouth.
After Huo Ran finished speaking, he buried his head and ate, fearing that Kou Chen would see his uncontrollable laugh.
Kou Chen took the spoon and pulled it back and forth in the bowl a few times, then suddenly threw the spoon and stood up: "Fuck."
"Huh?" Huo Ran raised his head.
"I want to go home," Kou Chen said, "I want to go home, I'm not going."
Huo Ran burst out laughing, especially loud, he couldn't help it, and the people at the next tables all looked over.
Kou Chen was stunned. After a few seconds, he suddenly sat back on the chair, pulling Huo Ran's arm and dragging him in front of him: "Huo Ran!"
"Ah." Huo Ran responded with a smile.
"You're finished!" Kou Chen pointed at him and stabbed him on the nose again, "You're finished!"
"There are quite a lot of people," Huo Ran couldn't help laughing, "but the camp is so big that it doesn't have to be next to each other."
Kou Chen let go of his arm, lowered his head and ate two mouthfuls of vegetables, then drank the remaining half of the bottle of Coke, then wiped his mouth, leaned over to him and asked in a low voice, "Then... if you do something... will you hear it?"
"See what you're going to do." Huo Ran said.
"Do you want me to call it out here?" Kou Chen asked.
"Let's talk about this after you ride for another afternoon and you still have the physical strength to get there." Huo Ran said.
"Will you hear it?" Kou Chen asked persistently.
"I can't hear... come." Huo Ran thought for a while.
"Then I'll definitely be able to sit up from a dying illness and chat and laugh all night long," Kou Chen scooped a piece of meat into his mouth, "eat."
After eating, the two of them rested for a while, then rode on the car and continued to set off. There were several college students who set off at the same time as them.
"My leg lift," said one person, "how does it feel like I just split a fork for half an hour."
After riding for a while, Kou Chen said, "I also feel like I just finished splitting..."
"Stay steady for a while, the road in the afternoon is much longer than in the morning," Huo Ran said. "If you continue to run forward like a fool, you will be troubled all the way, and I guarantee that you will not be able to get there until tonight."
"Are you tired?" Kou Chen asked.
"It's alright," Huo Ran said. "It's tiring to ride the winding mountain road. It's not a big deal to go uphill occasionally on a straight road like this."
"Why do you like this kind of bitter exercise?" Kou Chen couldn't figure it out.
"I don't know, I just like this feeling," Huo Ran pedaled a few times, loosened the handlebars, and stretched out his arms against the wind, "I've walked past here, passing places where many people around me will never go in their entire lives. , I look at them, they look at me, I look at the mountains and rivers, and the mountains and rivers also look at me…”
"Hold on! You just told me not to be distracted," Kou Chen said. "Do you want to recite a poem at this moment?"
"Have you ever thought," Huo Ran grabbed the handlebars again and smiled, "How long have these mountains and rivers been here?"
"It was here when no one was there," Kou Chen said.
"Well, how many years are those houses in the city, those asphalt roads under our feet..." Huo Ran pointed forward, "This is the space between heaven and earth."
Kou Chen looked forward, and the road under his feet continued to move forward, disappearing at the place where the sky and the earth meet, rolling hills on both sides, and the sky followed by the wind and clouds.
"I like this feeling," Huo Ran swayed the front of the car, leaned over to him, and rubbed his arm on his arm, "I passed by a long, long time ago, and I was a passer-by of many, many scenery, great!"
"Me too." Kou Chen said.
"Yeah." Huo Ran nodded.
"You are my regular resident here," Kou Chen said, "not a passing visitor."
"Yeah." Huo Ran nodded with a smile.
"What about me?" Kou Chen asked.
"You are me." Huo Ran patted his butt and kicked forward a few times.
"Fuck." Kou Chen smiled and chased after him, "I didn't realize you were so good at flirting before?"
"Pay attention to your words." Huo Ran said.
"I didn't find you so romantic before?" Kou Chen said.
Huo Ran laughed so much that he almost lost his grip on the handlebars.
The road in the afternoon is indeed very long, and coupled with the consumption of physical strength, it feels ten million times longer than the road in the morning.
Kou Chen kept chatting with Huo Ran at first, but after two hours, he stopped talking.
Of course, the mouth is estimated to be tired.
"Can you take a break?" Huo Ran asked.
"No," Kou Chen said, "Have three rests, it will be dark after you rest."
"Impossible," Huo Ran said, "We are riding quite fast. We might get there sooner than others, so we can grab a seat first."
"Find a quiet place." Kou Chen said.
"You can't wipe out your mind if you are so tired?" Huo Ran said.
"Is it okay to be wiped out!" Kou Chen shouted, "How old am I! Don't say you are wiped out!"
Huo Ran almost choked with laughter.
But that said, when he arrived at the camp, Kou Chen threw the car on the ground and stood there for a long time before slowly moving his legs.
"Sour?" Huo Ran asked.
"It's okay," Kou Chen frowned, "I found that these pants are really worth wearing. If I ride without pants, my butt will be split to death."
"So you have to listen to me." Huo Ran looked at it. "Go ahead. There are many rocks here. Let's find a flat and soft place to set up our tent."
"Is there a restaurant over there?" Kou Chen pointed to a few cabins in the middle of the camp.
Huo Ran nodded: "Well, we will go there to eat in a while, there are other things to buy, equipment and so on, tents can also be rented..."
"No need to rent." Kou Chen said immediately.
Huo Ran glanced at him and said nothing.
After finding a suitable place, and after Huo Ran took out the tent and set it up, Kou Chen knew why he looked at him with such eyes.
This single tent... it's very single.
Kou Chen saw such a miniature tent for the first time.
As long as they really want to go in, lying flat is enough.
"What are you doing with such a thing?" Kou Chen said.
"Small, light, and doesn't take up any space," Huo Ran glanced at him, and said gloatingly while bending over to get into the tent, "Look at whether you rent a tent or sleep on the muddy floor, I can give you a moisture-proof pad with a bite of your teeth. you… "
Kou Chen looked around. There were not many people now. There was a tent a dozen meters away from them, and there was no one there.
He bent over and pushed Huo Ran's buttocks and squeezed in.
It's embarrassing for two big men to squeeze into such a small tent. Even if you don't think about it, you have to think that this person is a layman, and the tent is wrong... He doesn't want people to see it.
"Fuck!" Huo Ran was pushed into the tent by him, "What are you doing!"
"I'll see if I can sleep!" Kou Chen quickly squeezed over and lay down beside him, "Look, if you all lie on your side, you can."
Huo Ran turned to his side with difficulty and pressed him face to face: "Can you fucking sleep like this all night?"
Kou Chen thought for a while, and answered firmly, "Yes."
