Time carved for no reason

Chapter 19 Chapter Four (1)
The night before the trip, Xueqian and Wang Yanxiao met and chose to eat at a food stall, but Wenlong's relatives opened it. Zeng Yuanpei was not happy, and kept saying that the food stall was not hygienic and the oil was never changed. The service life is long enough to enter a museum. The meat is left over from other people's eating. The boss puts makeup on the meat and presents it to another table of guests.Wang Yanxiao, but Wenlong told him to stop talking because he was disgusted, so Zeng Yuanpei expressed his attitude, saying that he would not pay for the meal.Wang Yan laughed and scolded him for being unkind, since he didn't pay for it, he just went to Zeng Yuanpei's restaurant to eat, but Wen Long also helped him.Zeng Yuanpei complained: "It's really not possible. I have taken my classmates to eat more than a dozen times in the past two months. My mother told me not to take it anymore. Besides, it is the peak season. We went to let the guests wait. I'm sorry. You can eat too. This time you have to pay the bill." Wang Yanxiao and Wenlong refused, saying that they didn't have enough money, and when they opened their pockets, they only had a few dollars in steel coins. Zeng Yuanpei was shocked and said, "You really didn't bring any money, it's broken. , I didn’t bring it either.” The corner of his eyes swept Xueqian lightly, Xueqian thought this was a good opportunity to win people’s hearts, and proposed to pay the bill by himself, Wang Yanxiao, but Wenlong resolutely refused: “No, everyone AA Make it, I can’t let you spend the money alone.” As if he had forgotten that he didn’t bring any money, Xueqian insisted on paying, and Zeng Yuanpei chimed in: “It’s okay, there’s not much money, Brother Qian, let’s go out first, next time Brother Qian will not pay for the meal." The two agreed.

The next night, the four of them boarded the train. The train was an extra train, and the green shell indicated that the speed was similar to that of China Post.The internal conditions are simple and there is no air conditioning. Because it is an extra train, it must stop at every station. The conductor reminds you to close the windows when entering Hunan. There are many bandits in Xiangxi, so you are afraid of something.Zeng Yuanpei was afraid of getting dirty, so he didn't want the lower berth, so he chose the upper berth. He didn't want to have an electric fan without a casing at his feet, and sparks would burst out from the center of the fan every ten seconds. God's plan.But Wenlong sent text messages all night and felt drowsy, so he simply pretended to be dead at this moment.Wang Yanxiao also lay down, and his voice was intermittent: "It's okay... I will arrive at Jishou tomorrow morning, and I will take a bus directly there. It's okay, you can sleep on your own."

Passed through Huaihua at around 200:[-] the next morning, and arrived at Jishou around [-]:[-]. When we got off the train, all four of us felt relaxed. Only Zeng Yuanpei was tired. Because of the electric fan, he did not dare to sleep last night, for fear that the electric fan would cut his body. Toes, blood spattered his clean clothes.There were many people at the station, and many pimps came over to ask if they wanted to stay, but Wenlong's eyes lit up, and Wang Yanxiao told everyone to watch their wallets.The four of them left Jishou Station. The station square was not as imagined. It was full of luxury buses to Fenghuang. Zeng Yuanpei said dejectedly: "Let me just say, why don't you join a tour group and insist on a self-guided tour? Look! A car No car!" Wang Yanxiao comforted him.At this moment, a middle-aged woman came over and asked them where they were going. Xueqian vigilantly hinted that everyone should not say anything. Wang Yanxiao was a quick-tempered person and said that he was going to Fenghuang truthfully. He had to take a detour, the bus couldn't get up the mountain, Zeng Yuanpei almost fell to the ground when he heard her say that.The woman quickly changed her tone and said that she had a car and happened to be on the way home, so she could take them there.The four of them survived the dead end, and hurriedly expressed their thanks, only Xueqian remained sober and asked how much it was.The woman looked selfless in serving the people, as if she had no choice but to be a good person, and said: "Oh, you students don't have much money, so I'm on the way too, [-] yuan is fine." Before Xueqian sent out " It's too expensive!" Wang Yanxiao and the others happily forgot to bargain, and Xueqian couldn't say anything.

After getting into the car, Xueqian was still holding back his anger, thinking that these people really don't know how to deal with the world.Especially Wang Yanxiao, who is self-righteous and seems to know everything, but actually lacks mental strength. The 25 yuan ticket has now doubled to 50 yuan, which is a real injustice.Halfway through the car, the woman asked everyone if they wanted to eat. She knew a good restaurant with rice noodles, but this time the four of them had wisdom, so they couldn't say no.I didn't want the woman to get angry, and said: "You are not hungry, I am still hungry, I want to eat, if you don't eat, watch me eat." The four of them were so angry that they had to exchange glances to vent their anger, and the car drove to A noodle restaurant by the highway, the woman got out of the car and went in, chatting and laughing with the restaurant owner, pointing at the people in the car from time to time, as if to tell their jokes, the four of them were scratched by their actions, and simply Get off the car to eat something, Zeng Yuanpei was worried about the luggage on the car, the woman seemed to have noticed this, and laughed and scolded: "Stupid!
I can't run here again, what are you worried about? "

The four quickly finished their rice noodles, and the rice noodles in this restaurant were burnt like porridge.No threads, no idea where to start.All four of them stared at the rice noodle in a daze. They still had to pay, and the price was very expensive. They charged 40 yuan. It can be seen that the best way to create profits is to take advantage of the fire.The woman ate slowly and flirted with the noodle shop owner from time to time. Zeng Yuanpei secretly winked at Wang Yanxiao.The owner of the noodle shop is a master flirt, and from time to time he patted the woman's butt with his greasy hands. The four of them couldn't stand it anymore, but they still resisted watching their performance.The woman finally finished eating, and wiped the scallions from her mouth with her hands.Seeing that the four of Xueqian didn't move their chopsticks, they were shocked and said, "Why don't you eat such delicious food? Then give it to me." Everyone could only agree against their will, glaring at her, This woman seemed to intend to show her understanding of rice noodles, her teeth almost penetrated into every cell of the rice noodles.After at least a quarter of an hour, the woman finally finished eating, and the owner of the noodle restaurant lost no time in bringing the napkin. The woman laughed and scolded the owner in authentic dialect, and a new round of flirting started again. On the contrary, the woman said angrily: "We are about to leave, what kind of toilet, I only have to wait for 10 minutes, and I have to run business." Immediately, she greeted the noodle shop owner with a smile on her face.Zeng Yuanpei was so angry that he just said, "Damn it, damn it."

When they got in the car, the four of them were unhappy. The journey was smooth and they didn't go on the Panshan Highway. Zeng Yuanpei said quietly to Xueqian: "I think this girl is trying to lie to us, saying that the bus can't get on the Panshan Highway. It's nonsense, that's good, I'm so angry that I didn't say it, and I spent an extra 100 yuan." Wang Yanxiao heard it, and his face was unhappy.

After driving for a while, a toll booth appeared. This toll booth was tall and burly, like a butcher with his legs akimbo, waiting for the car to pass by and be humiliated by his crotch.The woman asked Xueqian and the others to get off the car, Wang Yan smiled and said angrily: "You drove us out before it was delivered!
I don't give money. Not to be outdone, the woman said, "My car doesn't go into Fenghuang, and I have to collect money when I go through the toll booth. I'll go through the toll booth and call for a car to take you there." Xueqian also said angrily: "Aren't you lying, you said you were on the way." The woman didn't deny or admit it, she skipped the subject and said, "Don't worry, there are all Fenghuang's cars over there. If you change another car, it will be there in no time. It won't be troublesome. You are wasting time here, and there will be no house for you." Living. The four of them stopped talking and just kept complaining. The woman put on a smiling face and led them to walk through the toll booth. The staff at the toll booth knew this woman and said with a smile: "You are here to take advantage again, So what if the car charged us 10 yuan in the past? "

There were already cars ready over there, and at the same time the doors of the three cars were opened for Xueqian and the others to get in, the woman stopped her and said: "I can't go up, wait until I talk to them about the price, and I can negotiate a good price for you." The four of them had no choice but to stand beside them wait.The woman called the three drivers to a distance and muttered in a low voice, deliberately avoiding Xueqian and them, but Wen Long seldom spoke, so he couldn't help asking at this moment: "What are they talking about?" Wang Yan said with a smile: "Whore Deals with prostitutes."

After a while, the woman negotiated the price, Xueqian and the three were led into a shriveled man's car, the woman helped them pack their luggage, and asked them for money, Wang Yanxiao said that she would give it when it was time, the woman He said anxiously: "I'll go back to Jishou by car. Give me the money, and he won't charge you any more." Wang Yanxiao paid the money dubiously, and the woman got the money and gave the shriveled man 30 Piece.Only then did the four of them realize that they had been sold. They looked like animals being moved, even worse than animals. Animals never had to pay for moving themselves.

Zeng Yuanpei was so angry that he muttered softly like a loud cry, "We are all idiots, that woman sold us and charged us 200. After walking for a while, I arrived at the Phoenix jurisdiction, and the rest There are not many roads left, and she took away 130 by herself." The shriveled driver heard it, and also complained for them: "You guys are so smart, this woman is a thief, I really don't make any money by pulling you I only gave me 30 yuan." The four of them didn't talk to each other.The driver thought it was boring, so he drove for a while, and the houses in the ancient town were already visible. The four of them cheered up, and the dry driver asked, "Have you booked a house yet?" The four of them dared not answer. With a wink, Wang Yanxiao plucked up his courage and said, "I haven't booked yet, I'll live in a stilted building later." The driver said in surprise, his eyes became O-shaped and appeared on the mirror. "Are you kidding, boys, it's the peak season, and the stilted buildings have already been fully booked by the travel agency. Even if there is no package, there are no vacancies now. Even if there are vacancies, boys, do you think the price will be cheaper?"

The four of them didn't dare to say it was cheap, as if having a cheap room now was a treasonous thing and would be condemned by God.The driver also said that he had a relative who opened a hotel on stilts, and he could book a room for them, one bed for two people, 50 yuan, and an additional 20 yuan for an extra bed.Wang Yanxiao was so thankful that he almost knelt down for him, and kept saying good things, praising Master for being a good person.

The master waved his hand, and said with an air of daring: "I'm different from that woman, I'm from the town, and I never tell lies." Everyone said yes again and again.

Finally arrived in the town, the ancient street is not allowed to drive, the master parked the car, and walked in front, let them follow, there are many tourists, Wang Yanxiao said with emotion: "Fortunately, I met the master, otherwise I don't know if there is no place to live How to do."

The four of them went to Hongqiao, and there were more people. The bustling peddlers were hawking their throats. Zeng Yuanpei liked women's things, and he couldn't let go of an original wallet. He always liked low-quality necklaces, plastic earrings, and colorful ones. It's best, anyway, the lower the grade of jewelry, the more he likes it.He collected more than 20 earrings and rubber bracelets in red, orange, yellow, green, blue, and purple, and he changed them every day.Everyone laughs that his underwear must be a different color every day.The other three hurried on their way and left him behind.

When we arrived at the north bank of the Tuojiang River, we walked along the river for a while, crossed an intersection, and turned north again. The newly built antique buildings seemed to be twin brothers, without the slightest difference. Xueqian lamented how these residents returned home. Maybe you accidentally entered the wrong house.

There are many hotels here, and it is cool and cool. The driver pointed to a staircase with a red lantern hanging on it. When he was talking, Wang Yanxiao found that Zeng Yuanpei had disappeared, and said anxiously: "His phone is not roaming, what should I do if he lost it?" Xueqian also Very anxious, the driver said: "It's okay, the town is very small, wait until you go to a crowded place and look for it, you will find it, let's see the house first." Wang Yanxiao was worried, so he asked Xueqian to look for it, and when he found it, give him the house. He texts.He and Dan Wenlong settle the house first.

Xueqian returned along the original road, crossed Hongqiao, and arrived at the entrance of the east gate tower. There was no shadow of Zeng Yuanpei. He was in a hurry when he heard someone calling himself, and he saw that it was Zeng Yuanpei.Surprised and delighted, she went to hug him.Zeng Yuanpei also let out a long breath, and asked where Wang Yanxiao and Dan Wenlong were. Xueqian said they had gone to look at the house.Zeng Yuanpei said anxiously: "Idiot, there are vacancies in the stilted building by the river. I have already booked it just now, but the deposit has not yet been paid. The shop owner said to wait for me for an hour." Xueqian asked stupidly: "Then, the house the driver said No more?" Zeng Yuanpei said with an expression of hating Xueqian for not being enlightened: "You are stupid, don't we just want to live in a stilted building, send a text message to let them come over quickly, no, it's a phone call." Xueqian called, and it took a long time No one answered.Zeng Yuanpei waved his hand and said, "Forget it, don't wait for them, let's book a house first. I want to live here, regardless of them." Xueqian had no choice but to go with him.

When the two of them booked the room, it was a house on stilts by the river, a family hotel, the name was Miao Wang Hut, it sounded like the room where Miao Wang privately met his lover.Zeng Yuanpei booked two rooms on the second floor, so the second floor was covered. The room by the river has a small wooden balcony, which is supported by long pillars.After finishing his work, Zeng Yuanpei was out of breath. He stroked his belly and said, "I'm exhausted, but it's nice to enjoy the cool air on this balcony at night."

After they had settled their luggage, they realized that they had forgotten Wang Yanxiao and Dan Wenlong. Xueqian looked at his phone, only to realize that Wang Yanxiao had made several calls and sent several text messages.Xueqian hurriedly called back, Wang Yanxiao was as anxious as a groom on a wedding night.He kept urging them to hurry over, while Zeng Yuanpei signaled Xueqian to call them over. After a long stalemate, Wang Yanxiao agreed to come over in a compromise.After a while, Wang Yanxiao came over. As soon as he came in, he was surprised: "Where did you find the house? Didn't the house by the river disappear? How much is a room?" Zeng Yuanpei told him 60 yuan a room, there are hot There is a separate bathroom with water, Wang Yanxiao murmured, "Very good, very good".Zeng Yuanpei kept praising the house, saying that the wooden house is romantic, the boss is easy-going, and the proprietress is also very beautiful. In short, the house is perfect.Wang Yanxiao interjected inappropriately, saying that the house over there has been booked and all the money has been paid.Zeng Yuanpei was shocked and said: "The money from my side has also been given, and it must be living here." Wang Yan said with a smile: "What about the rent over there? I gave it all."

Zeng Yuanpei said in a loud voice: "That's none of my business, you go and refund the money, how can there be a house that costs a lot of money, and you can't even see Jiang." Wang Yan laughed and muttered: "It's 10 yuan cheaper over there. " Zeng Yuanpei said that Wang Yanxiao was messing around, and he was so angry that he ignored Wang Yanxiao. Xueqian smoothed things over and let Wang Yanxiao live here, and he went there with Wang Yanxiao to pick up his luggage. The house over there should be returned as much as possible.

Xueqian and Yanxiao were walking on the road, Yanxiao resumed the old chattering, scolded Mrs. Zeng Yuanpei for her temper, and it was really a crime to play with him, Xueqian is not familiar with the four of them now, and feels like he was brought out with good intentions to travel luggage, It is best not to offend people who dare not express their specific positions. Those who don’t want to express their positions can only end up being treated as public enemies. Satisfied with Xueqian's peacemaker style.

Arriving at the hotel recommended by the driver, Wang Yanxiao kept emphasizing that the river can also be seen here, and stated: "It doesn't have to be by the river, there is a river in my heart, and there are rivers everywhere." Xueqian asked him but Why didn't Wenlong come with him? Wang Yan said with a smile, but Wenlong was sleeping in the room.The decoration of this family hotel is pretentious, pasted with wood-grained wallpaper, which is rubbed by the hands of tourists like oil stains attached to the mouth of a range hood.Wang Yan arrived at the door with a smile, took out the key to open the door, but couldn't open it for a long time, and cursed: "Damn! What are you locking, open the door quickly." There was no response for a long time, Wang Yan smiled and said: "Damn it, could it be that you have gone out?" I knocked a few more times, but still no sound.Wang Yan stomped his feet with a smile: "This guy must have gone out to find us, what should I do? No, why didn't you remember to turn off the TV when you went out?" Xueqian suggested: "Maybe I forgot to turn off the TV when I went out. The boss may have a spare key. Tell him to open the door." Wang Yan smiled and said, "That's the only way."

After saying that, the two were ready to go downstairs, only to hear a rustling in the room, and the sound of a belt buckle.But Wenlong yelled inside: "What are you doing, don't go, I'm here." Xueqian said pleasantly: "He's here, Eggy, open the door quickly, quick." After saying that, he knocked on the door vigorously.But Wenlong shouted loudly from inside: "Wait for me for a while, you go out first, don't stand in the corridor, you stand outside the hotel for a while." Wang Yan laughed anxiously, and cursed: "What are you doing, we didn't Do something shameful." After finishing speaking, he looked at Xueqian as if he had an epiphany, and then opened his mouth wide at the same time, and his mouth curved into a smile.

Xueqian made gestures to tell Wang Yanxiao to keep silent, and said loudly, "Okay, let's go down first, hurry up, what are you doing?" Moving lightly like a dance, the two of them put their ears on the door, and when they heard what they understood, the two of them started to associate and wished they could burst out laughing.After a quarter of an hour or so, Wang Yanxiao was tired from standing, and complained in a low voice, "He's really strong. Seeing how sluggish he is in the car, it turns out that all his strength is left here. Seeing how dirty he looks, I won't let him go at night." sleep with him."

A female voice in the room was alert: "Who is outside, who?" Xueqian and Yanxiao fled in despair.

Laughing wildly, he went downstairs.

A few minutes later, a coquettishly dressed woman came out of the hotel, met the two of them face to face, and snorted disdainfully. Wang Yanxiao pointed her middle finger at her back:

"A local chicken, what a cow, it looks like it's almost forty years old, it's old grass forcing tender cows to eat, and good pigs being forced to eat by rotten cabbage." Xueqian couldn't stop laughing.

When the two went upstairs again, the door of the room was already open, but Wen Long was taking a shower.There is a saying in Wang Yan's joke: "Wash it well, it really needs to be washed well, the sanitation conditions in the countryside are poor, if you don't wash it well, it will be over if it rots." But Wen Long yelled loudly inside: "Get out, is it disgusting?" Yan laughed and said, "Why, am I wrong? How much is it?" But Wen Long said:
"It's not expensive, it's much cheaper than the previous ones. This place is cheap, even the people are cheap. It's twice as cheap as the place we went last time." Wang Yan blushed with a smile, and found Xueqian's shocked expression on his face. Don't talk to Dan Wenlong any more, and sit on the crumpled bed watching TV.
