Being a wise man, I am serious

Chapter 223
Driving out from Muyu Town in Shennongjia is much more comfortable along the way.

There are not as many sharp bends as there are on the mountain, the road conditions are good, and the altitude is low. Qin Xiong arrived at the Hurong Expressway in just over an hour at a speed of [-] to [-] kilometers.

After getting on the highway, Qin Xiong became even more excited. In the past few days, except for the mountain roads, he has been driving very frustrated. Now there are some long straight roads, and his speed has also soared all the way.

Eat at Shennongjia, and stay overnight in Jingzhou City.

Because the destination set by the navigation is the ancient city of Jingzhou, they also found a chain hotel nearby at night.

The ancient city of Jingzhou at night is still brightly lit. From a distance, you can see the grand outline and scale of the ancient city, which is very beautiful.

As usual, a few people put their luggage in the hotel and started to go out to find something to eat.

Qin Xiong first went to the night market according to the hotel's reminder, only to find that there were no people there except for a few unpopular barbecue stalls.

Afterwards, several people went to several restaurants one after another based on the positive reviews on the Internet, but they all closed early.

In desperation, they could only buy a few barrels of instant noodles in the supermarket, and went back to the hotel for a simple meal.

Because the main purpose of coming to Jingzhou is to see the ancient city, and the ancient city is right next to the hotel, so everyone didn't get up too early, so we took a good rest in the hotel and had a hearty breakfast.

By the time they drove to the ticket office in the ancient city, it was almost 11:[-] noon.

Cars are not allowed around the ancient city, only the shuttle bus in the scenic area. Qin Xiong was planning to buy a ticket to be lazy, but Tang Qingya sternly refused.

"It's a rare trip, today is the last stop, everyone should take a good look around, don't stay in the car all the time." Tang Qingya.

So, a few people obediently followed the guide map of the scenic spot and went to Binyang Tower first.

When walking along the high city wall, Qin Xiong felt that something was wrong. Compared with Shennongjia, the temperature in Jingzhou was too high.

He was sweating after walking nearly a hundred meters, and Qin Weiyi's little face was flushed with heat.

"It's close to 36 degrees outside today, everyone try to stay in the shade of the trees, don't suffer from heat stroke." Qin Xiong reminded while drinking water.

"Persist for a while, and you'll be fine once you reach the city wall." Tang Qingya encouraged.

"Except for Shennongjia, summer is not suitable for traveling at all, it's so hot." Tang Xianxian couldn't help complaining.

"I feel like I'm melting..." Jiang Yingrong also said weakly.

However, because of Tang Qingya's persistence, several people finally arrived at the first scenic spot, Binyang Tower.

After checking the ticket on the city wall, Qin Xiong only felt that his eyes were blackened for a while, and the sun above was obviously more sunny, and the trees he saw before were still a short distance away from the city wall, which could not block too much sunlight at all.

Several people took a rest in the tower, and Tang Qingya continued to walk along the city wall regardless of everyone's objections, wanting to see if there would be more scenery at the end of the city wall.

The protection of the ancient city of Jingzhou is relatively complete. Zhongxuan Tower, Zangbing Cave, Nanji Gate, etc. are all very complete. Standing on the city wall, climbing high and looking far, you can vaguely see the layout of the entire city.

A few people walked and watched, but when they reached the corner of the city wall, they realized that this place was actually a dead end, and they couldn't reach the next scenic spot - Guandi Temple.

"I really can't walk anymore, how about calling a car?" Seeing this, Qin Xiong suggested.

"Yeah, yeah, I'm about to be sunburned to death." Tang Xianxian.

"There seems to be no taxis on this road..." Tang Qingya looked around and said helplessly.

So, a few people could only continue to move forward against the sun.

"Why don't you just forget about it. There shouldn't be much to see in the Guandi Temple. It's probably Guan Yu and the two sworn brothers inside," Tang Xianxian said.

"It's all here, you have to take a look anyway." Tang Qingya.

"One day, sooner or later, I will be killed by you..." Tang Xianxian complained.

As soon as she finished speaking, Tang Xianxian suddenly went limp and fell down.

Fortunately, Tang Qingya was relatively close to her, and immediately supported her.

"What's wrong with you?" Tang Qingya asked worriedly.

"What else can I do? It's most likely due to heatstroke. Let's not leave, let's find a place to rest and take it easy..." Qin Xiong said hastily.

This time, Tang Qingya didn't dare to be stubborn anymore, and quickly helped her sister to an air-conditioned convenience store with Qin Xiong's help.

After drinking some water in the store and blowing on the air conditioner for a while, the few people were like fish in the water, and they finally recovered.

Due to the inconvenience of taking a taxi, everyone didn't want to give up, so one of them swept an electric car and hurriedly finished watching Guandi Temple and Zhang Juzheng's former residence.

"Brother-in-law, let's get out?" Tang Xianxian felt much weaker after the quarrel before, and was not as excited as before watching the scenery.

"If I don't withdraw, I can't stand it anymore." Jiang Yingrong said.

Seeing this, Tang Qingya felt a little unsatisfied, but seeing that the child was also hot enough, she finally nodded.

So, everyone immediately returned to the parking lot as quickly as possible.

After the air conditioner in the BMW was activated, everyone heaved a sigh of relief. This is simply a mobile air-conditioned room.

When Qin Xiong drove through the city from Jingzhou, several people realized that lunch hadn't been eaten yet.

Qin Xiong looked at the time, and it was already past four o'clock in the afternoon. If he had a serious meal, including waiting for the food and eating, he would have to go back to Xiangcheng from Jingzhou in the dark again.

In the end, in order to take care of the old driver Qin Xiong, several people directly found a roadside stall, had a simple bite, and then set off on the return journey.

Different from driving at night and driving at high speed before, in the afternoon on the highway, there were not only large cars but also small cars. Qin Xiong drove all the way down, but his speed could not be increased.

Back in Xiangcheng, it was already seven in the evening. This time, everyone had a comfortable meal at Haidilao.

Because Haidilao in Xiangcheng not only has all kinds of seasonal fruits, but also gives toys to children. Qin Weiyi has fruits and small toys, so he can be quiet for a while by himself, and they can also have a full meal by the way.

When passing by the urban area, Tang Qingya and others planned to rest directly in the school district room, Qin Xiong simply gave up the car, and returned to the writer's village in the suburbs by taxi.

Seeing Qin Xiong return to the village suddenly, no matter it was Feng Dacai, Matthew, Ji Weiyang and others, they all greeted him in surprise.

Qin Xiong, the village chief, was not at home, and they were like abandoned children, suddenly losing pressure and motivation.

"It just so happens that everyone is here. The leader of the Propaganda Department of the Municipal Party Committee will come over tomorrow. Everyone try to tidy up as much as possible." Qin Xiong said.

"No wonder you came back so quickly, boss. It turns out that there are preparations. Okay, you have a good rest. We promise to tidy up the writer's village neatly." Feng Dacai responded, patted his chest.

"The room is still a little too monotonous. If you can, go to the flower shop tomorrow and rent a few pots of flowers and put them on the table. They will look more lively and energetic." Qin Xiong reminded.

"It doesn't need to be so troublesome, I have learned flower arrangement before, as long as I have a bottle, I can cut a few flowers in the garden and arrange them a little..." Ji Weiyang said with a smile.

"You're so good at this... you're amazing, then I'll leave it all to you. I'll catch up on the manuscript first. Tomorrow night, let's have a group dinner again. You can choose the place!" Qin Xiong said straightforwardly.
