Jiaxi Inn provides three meals a day, and usually orders vegetables from the manufacturer. Lu Chenfeng wondered, "Are you going to buy mushrooms specifically?"

After getting off the pier, Lin Chaosheng walked in front, and the two climbed the road side together: "I don't have the several mushroom suppliers I want, and they are the characteristics of Yunnan, so I had to do it myself."

One person pushes the cart, one person follows, and with two huge straw hats, Lin Chaosheng is some distance away from Lu Chenfeng, because the brim of the hat can always touch each other.

The open road is gradually reduced into a narrow path, and the scenery on both sides is replaced by low tile-roofed brick houses. When the line of sight is folded, the voices are suddenly noisy. It is a long and narrow street. Looking around, there are simple stalls in front of each door.

"I guess you haven't seen such a scene before." Lin Chaosheng held the handlebars and walked slowly, even slower than ordinary people, "To sum it up, it's messy, but the advantage is that everything is complete. ."

Lu Chenfeng took a brief look at it, and it is true that all kinds of things are available. Food and beverages, pots and pans, stationery and books are all sold in the most primitive way, not even plastic packaging.

Looking up for a while, there is a small courtyard with an open door behind the booth on the right. There are many solid-color bottles and jars on the three-story shelf at the door. It is a small pottery workshop.

"Mr. Lu, I may need to trouble you." Lin Chaosheng stopped, supported the car seat with his left hand, turned around, and asked Lu Chenfeng in the crowd, "Help me push the car for a while, okay?"

Lu Chenfeng actually had this intention long ago, but he didn't know what reason he should use. Although Lin Chaosheng looked the same, with a healthy complexion and normal sweating, he found that the other party's movements were very small when he was doing things, and he was still deliberately controlling his breathing to avoid making himself tired.

Lu Chenfeng and him were in the wrong place, and the two changed positions: "No problem."

Lin Chaosheng quipped: "Since I have received your help, I will not charge an additional tour guide fee. This place is the most pristine scenic spot in Shuanglang, and few tourists can find it."

Perhaps it was because of the liveliness of the market, or because Lin Chaosheng's relaxed tone made Lu Chenfeng feel comfortable, he also joked casually: "Is this not considered VIP treatment?"

Lin Chaosheng smiled and looked at the person out of the corner of his eye: "The wishful thinking is quite loud."

They passed by the lively hilarity, and the surrounding noise gradually returned to silence. At the next intersection, there was a resident's courtyard door in a residential area on one side that was wide open. The rain stopped. Lin Chaosheng hung the two's straw hats on the handlebars, leaned against the wall to stabilize the car, and led Lu Chenfeng into the courtyard.

The structure is similar to the courtyard houses in Beijing, but the houses are too rudimentary, old and even more dilapidated. A golden and silver tree is planted on the right hand side, and an old woman is sitting under the tree. She wears a snowflake and silver bracelet with intricate patterns on her wrist, and is bowing her head to sift through the mushrooms in the bamboo basket.

Lin Chaosheng was a frequent visitor. He handed the sealed bag to the old man, and the other party would know which types he wanted and how much of each type to grab. Lin Chaosheng bent down and picked up a mushroom that was as chubby as an umbrella, and when he got close to it, he could smell it. All the small movements were completely and clearly reflected in Lu Chenfeng's eyes.

"This is the type of wild mushrooms that I made for you last night." Lin Chaosheng showed Lu Chenfeng a look, put it in a bag, and said in a deep voice, "Be sure to remember to go to a regular restaurant to eat on your next trip. There are many people in Yunnan who die every year from eating poisonous mushrooms, and the one with the most accidents is called 'Seeing Hands Green'."

Lu Chenfeng carefully took down Lin Chaosheng's reminder.

"It's a bit of a pity." Lin Chaosheng continued to bend over to face the basket full of mushrooms of various shapes, his eyes fixed, but he seemed to have no intention of saying, "My specialty is pineapple rice."

Taking a bag of fresh mushrooms handed over by the old man and weighing it in the palm of his hand, Lin Chaosheng said, "Mr. Lu may not be able to eat it."

If it wasn't for the other party's words, Lu Chenfeng glanced at his watch and almost forgot that it was time to check out. He stared at Lin Chaosheng, who was still talking patiently with the old man, and slowly lowered his raised arm, without saying a word for a long time.

As soon as he stepped out of the hospital carrying two full sealed bags, a very fast unknown object flew in front of him. Lin Chaosheng reacted quickly, as if he had expected it. Shuttlecock.

Lin Chaosheng threw the feather shuttlecock into the air and caught it firmly: "Xiaogu."

"Lin Chaosheng!" I saw a fat boy in Bai nationality costume running out from the group of children on the opposite side, sweating profusely, shouting, "Are you looking for my grandma to buy mushrooms?"

Lin Chaosheng corrected seriously: "My name is brother."

"I don't." Xiao Gu wiped his forehead with his cuffs, his cheeks flushed after exercising, panting, "A man will never easily recognize someone as a brother!"

"Yes, I have backbone." Lin Chaosheng put the bag into the bicycle basket, rolled up his sleeves in a pretentious manner, moved his shoulders a few times, made two "clicks", crossed his arms on his chest, and looked provocative, "Then I bet you. One, let's kick the shuttlecock to decide the outcome, I won, so be obedient to call someone."

Xiaogu brushed the dust off his clothes and raised his round head: "If I win, fifty yuan pocket money!"

Lin Chaosheng reached out and gave him a high five: "Deal."

Lu Chenfeng was amused by Lin Chaosheng's bluffing aura, before the corners of his mouth raised an arc, a few chicken feathers were suddenly poked in front of him, and when he looked up again, Lin Chaosheng was looking at him with a smirk.

Lu Chenfeng was stunned for a few seconds, then picked up the shuttlecock dumbly, and couldn't help asking, "...Me?"

Lin Chaosheng nodded solemnly and said frankly, "I can't kick the shuttlecock."

Lu Chenfeng: "..." Was co-authoring that flamboyant move just to be handsome

Moved to the designated area drawn by the children, and asked not to kick out of the circle. Six wins in eleven rounds. Lu Chenfeng first tried his feet on the spot, and got the priority to send the shuttlecock by guessing the ding shell. When he was an adult, he restrained his strength and kicked the feather shuttlecock to Xiaogu lightly.

The first and second rounds failed miserably.

Lu Chenfeng's character is that once he gets involved in something, he can arouse his desire to win or lose. He found that he might not be able to underestimate his opponent. Although Xiaogu was fat, he was very flexible, and his strength was estimated to be higher than his.

In the next few rounds, Lu Chenfeng tightened his nerves and focused his attention. He was a little restrained in his actions at first, but he was more and more able to let go later.

The dramatic five-to-five was just a simple game, but Lu Chenfeng took it seriously. In the most crucial round, he took off his windbreaker and stepped outside the circle and handed it to Lin Chaosheng, who was sitting on the steps watching the game.

The cloud cleared, the light poured down the street, and the brick wall was cut into faint shades of light and shade. After more than 20 rounds of kicks, Lu Chenfeng finally failed to control his strength, and the shuttlecock flew out of the designated area. Xiaogu won.

Accompanied by the chattering noise of the children, Lu Chenfeng put his palms on his knees, bent down to take a breath, and raised the back of his hands to wipe the sweat off his forehead. Inadvertently tilting his head, Lin Chaosheng propped his chin and smiled softly at him. He sat in the sunlight, his eyes were bright.

Xiao Gu rushed to Lin Chaosheng, panting for breath, and shouted loudly, "Fifty dollars!"

Lin Chaosheng folded the money into Xiaogu's hands with a smile, and said, "Making money is not easy, save some money."

Lu Chenfeng put the windbreaker on his arms, said goodbye to the children, and walked side by side with Lin Chaosheng. Although the game just now was just an accidental episode, he hadn't had such an easy time in a long time.

The market began to spread out one after another, passing through the alleys and returning to the Huanhai Road, Lu Chenfeng thought for a long time, but still said unnaturally: "I'm sorry."

The two still wore straw hats to shade. Lin Chaosheng looked up at him when he heard the words: "What?"

Lu Chenfeng: "You lost fifty dollars."

Lin Chaosheng turned his face back and looked straight ahead, and said with a smile, "Don't be under pressure, I'm not bad for this amount of money."

The sky is blue, and the clouds and mists are shrouded in the mountains. From a distance, Cangshan is like a white head. The flowers beside him were blooming in the wind, and there was another sentence, which Lin Chaosheng could not say, but only recited it in his heart: Actually, I earned it.
