This time we went to Lijiang, Yunnan. Like the previous trips, we did not rush too much along the way. We stopped and stayed for a day or two in many places.
After living in those places, Xu Xuanhang would sometimes take me to the houses of some rich people, and then he would do some calculations for them, then collect some money, and then we would leave, and some would ask us to stay for a few days. , he also promised to stay for a day or two.
And these people, no matter who they are, have great respect for Xu Xuanhang. In Xu Xuanhang's words, these people have all received his favor.
He didn't let me ask me what kind of favor he was, and he didn't take the initiative to tell me, but every time he went, he would introduce me to those people, tell me that I was his apprentice, and said that if I had any trouble in the future, I would use it. When I got on them, they would treat me like Xu Xuanhang.
Every time Xu Xuanhang said this, I felt warm in my heart. I finally treated me better at this time, so I also respected him very much along the way, and he didn't mention interrupting me again.
In a flash, two months passed. Because we stopped and went all the way, it took us two months to reach the city of Lijiang in Yunnan.
We arrived in Lijiang City and went directly to the ancient city. This time, instead of staying in a hotel, we directly found a small courtyard to live in. The owner of this small courtyard is from the Lisu nationality. The male owner’s surname is Shuang. One of the family's unique surnames, we all call him Laoshuang, and Xu Xuanhang calls him Shuangzi.
He is probably in his fifties, his wife passed away early, and his daughter is going to college outside. Currently, the whole family is alone.
Laoshuang's house was used as a farmhouse to entertain tourists who came to Lijiang. However, when Xu Xuanhang came over, he greeted him, so for half a month, no one stayed in his farmhouse. .
Laoshuang greeted us to enter the door, then assigned us a room, and brought a pot of good tea to Xu Xuanhang. I don't remember the name of the tea very well. It is said to be a special tea of the Lisu people. Rarely seen.
Although the rooms have been allocated, we are still concentrated in Xu Xuanhang's room. His room is the largest and has the most complete facilities. At the same time, our specific actions today must follow his arrangement.
We drank tea with Laoshuang for a while, Laoshuang asked about the purpose of our visit to Lijiang this time, Xu Xuanhang smiled and said to Laoshuang: "We are just playing in Lijiang this time, I have hired a new apprentice and brought him here. Seeing the world, he will be of use to you in the future, and I hope you can support him more."
When Xu Xuanhang said that I was his apprentice, Lao Shuang immediately respected me, and even got up to salute me. I was embarrassed and quickly stood up to stop him and said, "Lao Shuang, what are you doing?"
Lao Shuang smiled and said, "The apprentice of the old immortal, that is the little immortal, I will naturally pay my respects, you can rest assured that it will be useful to me in the future, even though I am just an ordinary person, but in the future. There are still some ways to go.”
some way
Just as I was about to ask in detail, Xu Xuanhang interrupted me and said, "We will stay here for a while, you and Laoshuang can talk slowly, and we will talk about those things later, let Laoshuang tell you about the fun in Lijiang, tomorrow. You can go out with Ah Wu for a few days, and by the way, get familiar with the customs of this area."
let me hang out? Could it be that the task Xu Xuanhang gave me this time was to let me go out to play
If you are having fun, then allow me to open the Heavenly Master Altar, if that’s the case, then it’s not too cool!
I laughed for a while and my mouth was crooked.
When Xu Xuanhang saw me laughing, he sneered next to him with a "hehe". I couldn't help laughing when he laughed like that.
I stopped smiling and quickly asked, "Master, what are you laughing at?"
Xu Xuanhang said: "I laugh at your legs..."
Before Xu Xuanhang could finish speaking, I quickly said, "Ah, Master, just say it straight, what is my main purpose this time?"
Xu Xuanhang stopped the sneer and took a sip of tea, and then heaved a sigh of relief before saying: "I can't tell you about this mission first, you can play nearby for a few days, but this is not our mission location, don't think about it. What you are checking this time, you will check it for nothing."
Xu Xuanhang's remarks made me even more confused and let me play here. Could it be that this is a paid vacation
Then Laoshuang introduced us to the ancient city of Lijiang and some interesting places nearby.
The Old Town of Lijiang has many interesting places in the city alone, but there are not many ancient books preserved here. Most of them were rebuilt later, so they have lost their historical charm. Generally speaking, there is nothing that attracts me.
In the south of the ancient city of Lijiang is the well-known Erhai Lake. We can go to Erhai City for a visit. To the east, we can go to Chenghai. Of course, Chenghai is much more boring than Erhai. To the north is Yulong Mountain, with snow mountains and skiing. field.
If you go west, there is the Zhiyun Temple, which is a famous local temple.
These places are all around Lijiang. If you play all of them, it will definitely not work within a month and a half.
After Lao Shuang finished talking to me, he asked us if we wanted to find us a local guide. I thought about it for a while, then shook my head and refused. I was afraid that there would be strangers and we would be uncomfortable doing something.
Lao Shuang seemed to have read my mind and said, "Don't worry, this one I'm introducing to you is not an outsider, but a niece of mine. She is only seventeen years old this year, her parents left early, and the child's temper is stubborn and refuses to accept it. I gave her money to go to school, so I have dropped out of school now, and I help local tourists as a guide in the city. You know there are all kinds of people these days. I don’t think she is a girl.
I understand what Lao Shuang means. I am Xu Xuanhang's apprentice. He must have believed in me. At least his niece is our guide, and we will not bully her.
After listening to Lao Shuang's words, I nodded and said, "Alright, let your niece be our guide, but it's a little late today. Let's start tomorrow."
Lao Shuang smiled and said, "Okay, I'll call my niece home for dinner tonight, so let's get to know each other first, so that we won't be too embarrassed when we go out together tomorrow."
I nodded.
Soon it was time for dinner. The meals we ate were all cooked by Laoshuang, which is not really delicious, but it was a mess, and there was no fish. This is one of the reasons why I think Laoshuang's cooking is delicious.
Old Shuang's niece is called Shuang Linlin, which is a more Chinese name, and a name from their own family. It's a bit awkward, I don't remember it.
Shuang Linlin arrived when Lao Shuang was about to cook the rice. She was wearing a black long-sleeved loose-fitting t-shirt. Underneath were the very slim gold jeans and canvas shoes. Know a very fashionable little girl.
She also has a long ponytail, a pointed chin, and well-proportioned facial features, making her a beauty.
After entering the door, she shouted, "Uncle, I'm here."
She speaks Mandarin very well. Thinking about it again, people are here as guides. How can I communicate with people if I don't speak Mandarin well
She said hello to Lao Shuang, then looked at our group and looked at us, then she set her eyes on the white fox wishing, she asked Xu Xuanhang with a smile: "Grandpa, your dog is so beautiful."
Xu Xuanhang smiled and said, "It's a fox."
"Fox?" Shuang Linlin didn't believe it, she walked to Xu Xuanhang's side in a few steps, and then wanted to reach out to moan.
Xu Xuanhang continued: "Mom, it doesn't bite."
Only then did Shuang Linlin dare to make a wish, but the wish was crawling there, lazily motionless.
This wish is really pleasing to girls.
At this time, Lao Shuang came over with the last dish, and when he saw Shuang Linlin playing with the white fox, he said, "Hurry up and wash your hands, have dinner together, and then I will introduce you to these distinguished guests."
Shuang Linlin nodded and went to the back to wash her hands.
After a while she washed her hands and came back and sat down on the seat next to me.
Lao Shuang coughed and introduced Xu Xuanhang first. He said, "This is an old immortal. He is very good at fortune-telling and Taoism."
Shuang Linlin said to Xu Xuanhang, "Good old god."
She did not doubt his uncle's words in the slightest.
When I was introduced, Lao Shuang said: "This is the apprentice of the old god, Shi Yong, who is very capable."
Shuang Linlin glanced at me, then suddenly smiled strangely and said, "Little God - good stick."
I thought she would call me a little fairy, but I didn't expect...
Hearing her call, Lao Shuang hurriedly said, "Don't be ridiculous, be serious."
Only then did Shuang Linlin stick out his tongue at Lao Shuang: "Okay, okay."
Then she turned to look at me and said, "Hello, Shi Yong, my name is Shuang Linlin."
I nodded at her.
Originally, I thought Shuang Linlin would be a very rebellious and introverted child, but I didn't expect her to feel so sunny. I think my Wenwen grew up with this character.
So I subconsciously took Shuang Linlin as my sister.
Then Lao Shuang introduced Ah Wu, and our group began to eat.
At the dinner party, I only ate the food cooked by Lao Shuang, and didn’t say much, but Shuang Linlin kept asking Xu Xuanhang about the long and short, and Xu Xuanhang took the trouble to explain to her, but what Shuang Linlin asked about was some very shallow Taoist culture, let alone Xu Xuanhang, I can tell her the truth.
After waiting for the meal, Shuang Linlin took the initiative to help Lao Shuang to clean up the tableware, looking very sensible, Lao Shuang wanted to help, but was pressed back by Shuang Linlin.
After waiting for Shuang Linlin to put away the tableware and chopsticks, Lao Shuang said to us: "My niece is very obedient, if it weren't for the incident of my brother, she is still studying in school. ."
It can be seen that Lao Shuang really cares for his niece.
Xu Xuanhang said next to him: "Everyone has their own lives. Maybe she is the happiest and most free and easy to live like this, so that she will not owe anyone, do you think so, Frost boy?"
The old frost nodded.
