Punch: From third-rate anchor to top chef

Chapter 1443 1458.

The sun shines through the treetops and falls on Li Xiao's face. He opens his eyes slightly and feels the breeze in the morning. This is BJ, an ancient yet modern city. Li Xiao and his friends Zhang Yue and Huang Xu are preparing to start their new day.

Zhang Yue is a lively and cheerful girl who always brings joy to Li Xiao without realizing it. Huang Xu is a calm boy who always gives advice at critical moments. The three were good friends in college. Although they now have different life trajectories, they still maintain close contact.

"Brother Xiao, where are we going to play today?" Zhang Yue asked excitedly while packing his backpack.

Li Xiao stood up, stretched, and said with a smile: "Let's go to the Forbidden City and feel the royal style."

Huang Xu nodded in agreement: "The Forbidden City is a good choice. The architecture and history there are very interesting."

The three of them took the subway, passed through the bustling crowd, and arrived at the gate of the Forbidden City. The Forbidden City under the sun looked particularly solemn, with red walls and yellow tiles, and magnificent gold and jade, which made people feel awe.

"Wow, this palace is so magnificent!" Zhang Yue exclaimed.

Huang Xu took out his camera and began to record this beautiful moment: "Every corner here is full of stories."

Li Xiao seemed to be recalling something. He said softly, "Yes, this place has witnessed the rise and fall of China for hundreds of years. Every brick and tile carries the weight of history."

They strolled along the corridors of the Forbidden City, admiring the exquisite murals and carvings, and feeling the weight of history. Li Xiao introduced the history and stories of various palaces to Zhang Yue and Huang Xu from time to time, and they listened with great interest.

"Brother Xiao, how do you know these historical stories so clearly?" Zhang Yue asked curiously.

Li Xiao smiled and said, "Because I have loved reading history books since I was a child, I am naturally familiar with these stories."

Huang Xu joked: "From now on, when we travel, Brother Xiao will be our living dictionary."

The three of them toured the Forbidden City for a long time, and only left reluctantly when the sun set. They agreed to go to the Great Wall tomorrow to continue their adventure.

The story of Li Xiao and his friends is as colorful as the scenery of BJ, full of unknowns and surprises. They will not stop, because they believe that every trip is a baptism of the soul.

The next day, at the first light of dawn, Li Xiao, Zhang Yue and Huang Xu got up early and prepared to go to the Great Wall. The bus they took passed through the streets of BJ. Gradually, the hustle and bustle of the city was left behind, replaced by green mountains.

"Look, that's the Great Wall!" Zhang Yue pointed out the window and shouted excitedly.

From a distance, the Great Wall looks like a giant dragon winding along the mountain ridge, majestic and spectacular. Huang Xu took out his camera and began to record this stunning scene.

"This is truly a miracle in the history of human architecture," Huang Xu said with emotion.

Li Xiao nodded, "Yes, the Great Wall has witnessed China's long history and culture, and also witnessed the hard work and wisdom of countless ancestors."

They got off the car and began to climb up the stone steps. The stone steps of the Great Wall were steep and solid, and each stone seemed to be telling an ancient story.

"Climbing the Great Wall is really not an easy task." Zhang Yue was panting, but there was still an excited smile on his face.

Li Xiao encouraged her: "Come on, Zhang Yue, we are almost at the top. Standing on the top of the Great Wall, you will see a different scenery."

Finally, they climbed up a beacon tower on the Great Wall. Looking around, they saw undulating mountains all around and the Great Wall extending along the mountain ridges, like a giant dragon shuttling through the sea of ​​clouds.

"It's so beautiful!" Zhang Yue couldn't help but admire, "Standing here, I feel like I'm standing on top of the world."

Huang Xu was quietly filming on the side, trying to capture the tranquility and grandeur of this moment.

"Do you know?" Li Xiao suddenly said, "The Great Wall is not only China's but also the world's cultural heritage. It represents mankind's desire for peace and unity."

The three of them rested for a while on the beacon tower, enjoying the rare tranquility, and then decided to move on and explore more sections of the Great Wall.

As time went by, they passed through beacon towers one after another, and each section of the Great Wall had its own unique scenery and stories. They helped and encouraged each other and overcame the difficulties on the journey together.

The sun gradually sets, and the golden afterglow fills the Great Wall, giving this ancient building a mysterious color. Li Xiao, Zhang Yue and Huang Xu stand on the Great Wall, looking into the distance, their hearts filled with longing for the future and cherishing friendship.

"Today is truly an unforgettable day," Zhang Yue said with emotion.

Huang Xu smiled and responded: "Yes, we still have many wonderful days to spend together."

Li Xiao looked into the distance and silently made a wish in his heart: no matter what the future holds, they will always be like they are today, shoulder to shoulder, walking through every stage of life together.

As night fell, Li Xiao, Zhang Yue and Huang Xu decided to rest for a night in a small town near the Great Wall. The town was quaint and quiet, with red lanterns hanging on both sides of the street, lighting their way forward.

"This place is so charming. It feels like I've walked into an ancient painting." Zhang Yue exclaimed as he walked.

Li Xiao nodded in agreement: "Yes, the architecture and culture here are well preserved, giving people a feeling of traveling through time and space."

They found a small hotel, which was simple but clean and cozy. After putting down their luggage, the three decided to taste the local specialties.

"I heard that the lamb skewers here are very famous, let's go try it!" Huang Xu suggested.

They came to a busy food stall, the aroma of mutton skewers filled their noses, making them salivate. The owner warmly invited them to sit down, and soon, plates of golden and tempting mutton skewers were served on the table.

"This mutton skewers is so delicious!" Zhang Yue exclaimed as he ate.

Li Xiao couldn't help but nod: "The lamb skewers here are indeed well-deserved, the meat is tender and the spices are just right."

After eating and drinking, they walked along the streets of the town, enjoying the beautiful night view. The shops on both sides of the street were gradually closing, but the red lanterns were still lit, adding a bit of mystery and romance to the town.

"The night view here is so beautiful. It feels like walking into a poem," Zhang Yue said with emotion.

Huang Xu took out his camera to record this beautiful moment: "Such scenery must be preserved well."

Li Xiao looked at the starry sky, his thoughts drifting away: "Looking at the starry sky, I remembered the days when I counted stars with my grandfather when I was a child." The three of them strolled on the streets of the small town, enjoying the quiet night and talking about their past and dreams.

···························································································Dividing line·····································

The next morning, they set out on a new journey. This time, they decided to visit an ancient temple nearby to experience the tranquility and peace there.

The ancient temple is located in a mountain forest, surrounded by lush trees, and the air is filled with a faint scent of sandalwood. They walked up the stone steps step by step, their hearts full of expectations.

"It's really quiet here. I feel like my soul has been purified." Zhang Yue said softly.

Huang Xu looked for inspiration for his photos in every corner of the temple: "The architecture and carvings here are very unique, and each one is worth savoring."

Li Xiao prayed devoutly in front of the Buddha statue in the temple, hoping that the friendship between the three of them would last forever and that their lives would be filled with happiness and joy.

They sat quietly in the ancient temple for a while, feeling the atmosphere here, their hearts filled with peace and tranquility.

"This place really makes people feel calm and peaceful," Zhang Yue said with emotion.

Huang Xu nodded in agreement: "Yes, we should come to places like this more often to rest and purify our souls."

Li Xiao looked into the distance and silently made a wish in his heart: no matter what the future holds, they must face the challenges of life together and enjoy the beauty of life together like they do today.

After returning from the ancient temple, Li Xiao, Zhang Yue and Huang Xu continued their journey with peace and thought. They decided to go to a nearby ancient town, which is said to have a long history and unique culture.

The streets of the ancient town are paved with bluestone slabs, with quaint wooden buildings on both sides. Wind chimes are hung under the eaves, swaying in the wind and making pleasant sounds. The three of them strolled in the ancient town, feeling the historical atmosphere here.

"The buildings here are so unique. Every brick and tile reveals the traces of time." Huang Xu said while taking pictures.

Zhang Yue was particularly interested in the handicrafts of the ancient town. She stopped in front of a stall filled with exquisite embroidery and hand-woven products.

"Look at this embroidery, how delicate it is!" Zhang Yue caressed a piece of silk embroidered with peonies lovingly.

Li Xiao was more interested in the history of the ancient town. He asked the stall owner about the origin and stories of the ancient town, and the stall owner enthusiastically introduced the legends and history of the ancient town to them.

"It turns out that this was once an important post station on the Silk Road, and many merchants and envoys stayed here." Li Xiao said with emotion.

They sat down in a small teahouse in the ancient town and tasted the local specialties. The teahouse was filled with a light tea fragrance, which made people feel relaxed and happy.

"The tea here is so fragrant. It goes perfectly with these snacks." Zhang Yue exclaimed as he tasted the tea.

Huang Xu found an old collection of poems in the corner of the teahouse. He flipped through it quietly, as if he could feel the emotions and thoughts of the ancients.

"These poems are so well written, full of yearning for a better life and praise for nature," Huang Xu said with emotion.

Li Xiao was thinking about their trip. He felt that this trip was not just a simple tour, but also an exploration and growth of the soul.

"This trip taught me a lot and gave me a new understanding of life," said Li Xiao.

As the sun set, the streets of the ancient town gradually became quiet. The three of them settled down in the inn in the ancient town and prepared for the next day's journey.

"Where are we going tomorrow?" Zhang Yue asked curiously.

Li Xiao thought for a moment and said, "Let's go to a nearby nature park. There are mountains and water there, which will allow us to relax and enjoy nature better."

Huang Xu nodded in agreement: "Good idea, I believe the scenery there must be beautiful."

The three of them fell asleep in the night of the ancient town, looking forward to the next day's adventure.

The next morning, when the first ray of sunlight shone through the curtains into the room, Li Xiao, Zhang Yue and Huang Xu were already ready to go. They set out on the road to the nature park with anticipation for the new day.

The nature park is located in a valley, surrounded by lush trees, fresh air, birdsong and flowers. They walked into the park along the winding path, enjoying the beautiful scenery along the way.

"The air here is so good. I feel much more energetic." Zhang Yue took a deep breath, a satisfied smile on his face.

Huang Xu took out his camera and captured every beautiful moment. "The natural scenery here is so beautiful, every place is a painting."

Li Xiao praised the ecological protection here: "It is rare to have such a well-protected natural environment. We should enjoy it and protect this land at the same time."

They came to a small clear lake, the water was as calm as a mirror, reflecting the blue sky and the surrounding mountains. There were several small boats by the lake, and Li Xiao suggested that they go boating to tour the lake.

"Let's go boating so we can experience the beauty of the lake from a closer distance," said Li Xiao.

Zhang Yue and Huang Xu both agreed, and they rented a boat and started their adventure on the lake. The breeze on the lake brought coolness and ripples on the water.

"It feels so comfortable, just like swimming in a painting," said Zhang Yue while rowing.

Huang Xu sat at the bow, quietly admiring the surrounding scenery, occasionally pressing the shutter to record this peaceful moment.

Li Xiao was steering the boat at the stern. He looked at the smiling faces of his friends, and his heart was filled with warmth and gratitude. "I am so lucky to be able to enjoy this time with you."

They rowed on the lake for a while, then landed and continued to stroll in the park, passing through patches of flowers and woods, feeling the tranquility and beauty of nature.

"Every flower and every tree here makes people feel the miracle of life," Li Xiao said with emotion.

Zhang Yue was jumping among the flowers like a happy butterfly, and her smile infected everyone.
