Dont Be A Kept Man - Chapter 183
Shen You was quite mindful of what Gu Lai said about traveling. He urged him several times at night. Gu Lai used his mobile phone to search for the most popular tourist attractions. Finally, he took a fancy to the ancient town of City C. The B&B Gufeng Inn is built on both sides of the river bank. At night, you can also put down lanterns. The official pictures are beautiful and beautiful.
Shen You saw Gu Lai’s intentions: “Just here, it’s been two hours by plane.”
After he finished speaking, he was about to start booking tickets, but Gu Lai held his hand: “I will buy it.
Shen You sighed, and then he put his phone back, thinking that fortunately he didn’t go abroad, otherwise Gu Lai would just sit and wait for bankruptcy: “I will book the ticket for tomorrow morning.”
Gu Lai has never been in a hurry, never rushing: “It’s too early for you to get up. Let’s order the afternoon. There seems to be a lantern show at night.”
Shen You didn’t go abroad to relax before. This time he felt a bit strange and urgent. Seeing Gu Lai seriously formulating the itinerary, he found a large suitcase from the corner of the closet and consciously began to pack his luggage.
The clothes of the two have been mixed together, and no one can tell who it is. Shen You can only take it casually. Anyway, the autumn clothes are thick, so it doesn’t matter if you wear them together. He is quite experienced and didn’t bring too many cumbersome things. , Two suitcases are almost packed.
Gu Lai lay on the end of the bed, watching him pack clothes back and forth, suddenly felt very good, not good enough, stretched out his hand to twist the twisted strand of hair, fingertips are very soft, and It doesn’t look tough.
Shen You glanced back at him: “I am not a three-year-old child.”
After finishing talking, he didn’t care about the mischievous hand on his head, and continued to count the clutter. Gu Lai thought that Shen You was still so fierce. Seeing that he was busy, it was rare to be lazy, holding a pillow and planning to go to sleep.
Shen You also stayed up all night, saw that he zipped up the suitcase, took off his jacket, and lied over, then rolled over and rolled into Gu Lai’s arms, napping twice, and stopped moving.
Gu Ziranran hugged him: “Go to sleep.”
The result of sleeping too much during the day was that they couldn’t sleep at night, and they became sleepy the next day. They took a flight for nearly two and a half hours in the afternoon to arrive in C city, because they did not follow the group, and they were not familiar with the place. I was confused, but Gu Lai did enough homework in advance and planned the route.
The local ancient town of C city still retains the historical heritage, the ancient architecture, and the proximity to the mountains and the water can be regarded as a peach field, but in recent years it has been over-exploited and has more commercial atmosphere. A narrow bluestone road passes by pedestrians one after another, bustling and bustling. , It just got squeezed.
When I arrived at the guest house where I was staying, the decoration was not as exquisite as on the official map. When checking in, Gu Lai was still a little confused, and muttered to herself: “Why is it different from the map.”
Shen You didn’t bother to complain about him: “The above are all deceptive.”
Gu Lai frowned, not even swearing, “How can they lie.”
The lady proprietress who checked in at the front desk kept looking at them two with subtle eyes. Her voice was rough and rough, wearing a printed blue apron, and she had a pedantic atmosphere. She said, “Handsome, it’s not that we don’t want to decorate. In the past few years, the business has not been well done, and there are fewer and fewer guests. If you want to decorate, you have to have money. Our small place here is very poor, not as poor as the big city.”
Shen Youpi smiled and didn’t laugh, and didn’t bother to pay attention, and walked to the second floor with Gu Lai, only to find that the wooden escalator was covered with thick stains, the stairs were not stable, and they creaked when they stepped on, and some places were rotten. The one walking is called a hang, and Shen You muttered: “Fuck, this staircase is older than my grandfather, so dare you use it?!”
Gu Lai was very considerate, carrying a heavy suitcase and walked up easily: “It’s okay. I only booked a room for one day. I will see another house tomorrow. I really can’t change to the next door.”
and also,
“Don’t swear.”
Shen You: “Oh…”
Although this homestay and inn looks bad, it does have a sense of unspeakable story. Pushing open the window, there is a bustling street underneath, and a little bit ahead is a gurgling river with a stone arch bridge on it. The water quality Clear, there are swaying awning boats carrying tourists sightseeing.
Shen You looked up and saw that there were still red lanterns hanging on the eaves, with a hazy color under the gradually dark sky, shaking gently with the wind, and felt that this place was okay, not as disgusting as before.
Gu Lai followed him and squeezed to the window, and then looked out, his profile was full of shadows, a layer of shallow gold fell, the sky was gorgeous at sunset, and the breeze was breezy: “The scenery is pretty good.”
There is also a viburnum tree underneath. It is a pity that it is not in the season and you can only see the bare branches, otherwise it will be more beautiful as the wind blows and snow.
Shen You looked at him, and his heart became quiet and quiet, very peaceful. He saw that there were many night market stalls underneath. They were all souvenirs sold by merchants. There were also some local delicacies such as cornmeal rice cakes. He did not remember what he thought of. Pulling Gu Lai’s sleeve, he urged: “Didn’t you say that there is a light show at night? Let’s go down and go around.”
Gu Lai was greedy for the unknown fish pot spicy soup. He didn’t disagree. He and Shen You put the suitcase in the corner, locked the door, and went down. As he walked through the broken wooden stairs that were not known for many years, It was a sore squeak, and Shen You had a rare long memory, and he didn’t explode any more foul language.
There are many tourist groups here. Occasionally, female tour guides can be seen holding a trumpet and taking a group of grandpas and aunts to visit the sights. Everyone wears a little red riding hood on their heads.
Gu Lai held Shen You on the crowded street and whispered: “Don’t get lost.”
Shen You’s sharp temperament is slightly reduced, but the eyebrows are still awkward: “I will go to kindergarten by myself at the age of four, so just don’t lose it.”
Gu Lai suddenly laughed. He thought, many years ago, Shen You was a small ball, not as high as his knees, and not as thin as he is now, chubby and running around with his schoolbag. The temper is the same as Xiaobawang.
Thinking about this, his expression couldn’t help being soft and soft, but it was a pity that he couldn’t see him when he was a child.
Gu Lai saw that the roadside vendor sold corn cakes, wrapped in zong leaves, half the size of a fist, I bought one in the past, and I ate it with Shen You one bite at a time.
Shen You wiped his hands with a tissue, looked at Gu Lai, and smiled to himself: “I never thought that one day I would share things with others.”
He seemed to simply express his emotions.
Gu Lai felt that the taste was a little ordinary, and then Niutou asked Shen You, “Do you have any photos of your childhood?”
Shen You paused, and his eyelids twitched, “Ask what?”
Gu Lai told the truth: “I want to see what you looked like when you were a kid.”
Shen You coughed twice, thinking that he should be handsome when he was a child: “Go back and look through it for you, there is nothing in the phone… What about you, did you take pictures when you were young? Show me.”
Gu Lai thought I was a ball when I was a kid. What’s so good about it? Shaking his head: “No.”
Shen You didn’t get entangled, and continued to stroll with him. After walking a short distance, there was an old stone monument, and he wanted to see what a historical site was. She also enclosed a place with a fence. A female tour guide was talking to everyone with a megaphone. Introducing the story behind it.
“The age of this stone monument is impossible to study, but it is preliminarily estimated that it has a history of several hundred years. It is inscribed on the life deeds of an official. During his tenure, he was an official and clean government and was very much loved by the local people…”
Gu Lai noticed that an old woman in ethnic costumes was selling the uncut rough stone nearby, and she picked it up and glanced at it.
The female tour guide’s voice was a bit vague and unreality among the noisy voices: “…It is said that this is an excellent man in the history of political affairs. The emperor at that time tried to promote him several times, but was turned down… The six-rank official of his whole life established an education school in his later years and helped many poor students, so the people spontaneously sent him a monument to pass on to the world…”
Gu Lai didn’t know what he thought of, and smiled. It seemed that he thought this way of recording his life was quite interesting. He took a picture of the stone monument with his mobile phone. Unfortunately, because of the angle problem, it was not very clear.
Shen You came over and asked, “Are you filming a female guide?”
Gu said, “No, the stele.”
Shen You didn’t believe it, thinking that he was just taking pictures of the beautiful female tour guide, his eyes were suspicious: “What’s good about a broken stone monument.”
Gu Lai showed him the photo directly, and pressed down a bunch of hairs on his head by the way. Only then did Shen You reluctantly believe it. He turned his eyes to the stall on the side and saw that there were many stones on it, some of which were open. The leather, the cut surface is lustrous and translucent, the color is eye-catching like a crystal, the price ranges from 200 to 500 for the lion’s big opening, and there are some unskinned ones, the price is lower, thirty-five.
Shen You understood, this is not just a gambling on rocks, and it is not a precious material, it belongs to the IQ tax.
Gu Lai scanned the stones like an X-ray, and finally picked up a walnut-sized blue stone and asked the boss: “How much is this?”
Shen You thought about what he was afraid of, how could Gu Lai be so deceitful, and he held his hand and said, “I will take you to the serious gambling market another day. There is no good stuff here.”
The stall owner’s old hand counted: “The original price is sixty. If you want it, take fifty. There is also matte paper and perforation tools. Many young people come to buy them as souvenirs and love. This is an auspicious stone unearthed locally, which can bless you.”
Shen Youxin said, why don’t you talk about the cultural relics unearthed locally? He didn’t take the money in his eyes, but he just didn’t want to pay the IQ tax. As a result, Gu Lai had already paid the money in such a daze. , And was pitted to buy a turn of jade rope for weaving.
Shen You: “…” This fool.
Gu Lai explained: “Go back and I will weave a bracelet for you.”
Shen Youle, why a big man always likes to play with these little girls, but he didn’t stop him anymore, and walked back slowly with him: “Then do I have to make up one for you?”
Gu Lai didn’t mean to despise him: “Will you?”
Of course Shen You wouldn’t, so he couldn’t help but fall into contemplation. Compared to what Gu Lai would learn, he seemed a bit less… versatile?
The first floor of the homestay they were staying in was the dining room. The fat chef was punching and drinking with others, smoking cigarettes and blushing with a thick neck. There were more ground ruffians than cooks. There was no employee. The proprietress could only help.
Shen You went back to the room and wanted to order a table for dinner. But when he went downstairs, he just saw the cook serving the food. A piece of soot from his mouth fell into the basket without any partiality, and his face turned green. He went to the kitchen to see Eyes, it turned out that it was messier than the clutter room, and he immediately rested.
Shen You went upstairs and closed the door and told Gu what had happened: “I starved to death and didn’t eat his food. No wonder there are so few guests. I will change places tomorrow.”
Gu Lai frowned when he heard the soot falling into the vegetables, and he stretched out for a moment: “I just saw a spicy fish pot underneath. There are a lot of snacks. We will go outside to buy when we are hungry.”
Shen You sat down on his lap clingingly, and stretched out his hand to pull the black turtleneck sweater that he was pulling over: “I’m not hungry now, I’ll be a midnight snack…”
His soft hair gently rubbed the side of Gu Lai’s handsome face, suggesting that it was full of meaning. Gu looked at the closed window and understood, and then whispered in Shen You’s ear: “The room here doesn’t seem to be soundproofed. If you cry later, make your voice quieter.”
Shen You: “…”
He cried once in all. As for being Gu Lai remembered for so long?
