Side Story 1: Lantern Festival in Fucheng, see Chengdu with lanterns

(ps: This extra story has nothing to do with the main plot)
The morning sun shines through the window, and its warmth reflects on Lan Tian's tired face.
After drinking with Lu Lingqi last night, Lantian slept soundly all night. He opened his eyes in a daze and was pierced by the bright light, and found a black thing hanging on the wall in front of him. It was something deep in his memory.
.
LCD TV.
Am I dreaming again?
Lan Tian closed his eyes and shook his head violently. When he opened his eyes, he found that it was still a familiar sight.
Didi, a car horn sounded outside the window.
He sat up straight and looked around. The facilities around him looked like a hotel.
Lantian quickly walked to the window and found that the building outside was really eye-catching, with the three characters Mianyang Station hanging on the top.
Have you traveled back to modern times?
Lan Tian shook his head and walked towards the door of the room. He had fantasized about opening his eyes and returning to the future several times. However, as the bonds between the Three Kingdoms grew more and more, this idea became weaker and weaker until Lan Yuan was born and completely stopped.
This idea.
The current timeline should be that after dealing with my mother’s offspring, I came to Mianyang from the small county in my hometown and prepared to transfer back to East China Agricultural University. It was time to prepare for my master’s thesis.
He was arranging his clothes in front of the full-length mirror at the door, and was surprised to find that the face was not his own. To be precise, it was not Lan Tian in the modern world, but Lan Tian in the Three Kingdoms era.
The most exaggerated thing is that the age does not match. The person in the mirror is so young, as if he had just arrived in Xinye.
How fat is this?
The moment Lan Tian opened the door, the heads of the people on the left and right popped out at the same time. They were the same young Lu Lingqi and Gao Shun.
"Husband..."
"gentlemen..."
"You're wearing them too?"
Lu Lingqi looked around vigilantly, then walked to Lan Tian and said: "This place is very weird. Those oil lamps are on the roof. The room is full of inexplicable things. I remember we were drinking at the table last night. How did we wake up and end up in this place?"
?”
Gao Shun comforted him and said, "Miss, there is no need to worry. Sir, he is well-informed and will surely know."
"Well...it's a long story..." Lan Tian didn't know where to start.
Gurgling, Lu Lingqi's stomach let out a cry of hunger.
"Husband, I'm a little hungry..." Lu Lingqi said with a blushing face.
Lantian was wearing ancient clothes at this time and had neither a mobile phone nor modern banknotes on him. He took the two of them back to his room, boiled water, opened the instant noodles, put them in the packet and waited for the water to boil.
I don’t know who opened this room, so I’ll just treat the extra money as an emergency.
Watching Lan Tian playing around, Lu Lingqi asked curiously: "Husband, what are you doing?"
"It's a kind of pasta that can be eaten by brewing it with water," Lan Tian explained.
"I would say that sir is well-informed." Gao Shun agreed.
After boiling the water for a few minutes, he opened the lid and smelled the aroma. Lantian handed the forks to the two of them, showing how to eat the bowl of noodles.
The instant noodles were rich in seasonings. Lu Lingqi took a bite and found that the taste was rich. She opened her eyes wide and said to Gao Shun, "Try it quickly. This thing is more delicious than the harvest feast."
Gao Shun was shocked after tasting it. Is there such a delicious food in the world?
Lan Tian almost swallowed his tongue when he saw the two of them. After finishing the instant noodles, he didn't even want to let go of the soup.
Fortunately, the room had braised beef noodles. If it had been spicy instant noodles, these two would have choked up in sweat.
Lu Lingqi was still satisfied after eating, but unfortunately there were no snacks on the shelf. She asked: "They are all gone. Husband, are you still hungry?"
"I'm not hungry..." Lan Tian shook his head quickly.
"How do we go back to Xinye? The Lantern Festival is coming soon, and we have to see our sister." Lu Lingqi reminded.
Lan Tian was startled when he heard this. He didn't know if Gan Qian was here. They were penniless now. Even if Liu Bei was really in Xinye now, he couldn't even afford a train ticket. Besides, he didn't have an ID card to buy tickets with his real name. They still had to find a way to survive.
Let’s talk about it later.
jingle bell
The phone rang urgently on the bedside, making Lu Lingqi and Gao Shun shrink back in fright.
Lan Tian walked up and hung the receiver to his ear, and a gentle voice from the front desk came: "Are the guests from 507 and 511 at your place? The car Fangte picked up has arrived. Please pack up and go downstairs."
"Uh... why did Fangte come to pick us up?" Lan Tian asked, holding the receiver, and then looked at Lu Lingqi and Gao Shun.
"Aren't you actors participating in the event?" the front desk asked on the other end of the phone.
"Oh...I know." Lantian hung up the phone and sat on the bedside, thinking about whether he would do it first if a job came to him because he didn't have food and accommodation yet.
"Husband, come here quickly..." Lu Lingqi said carefully.
"What's wrong?" Lan Tian looked confused.
"I heard a woman's voice inside. That strange thing seemed dirty. How dare you talk to her..." Lu Lingqi was very nervous.
Lan Tian explained for a long time, and both Lu Lingqi and Gao Shun were confused when they heard it, until the cleaning lady at the door shouted: "Guests, have you packed up yet?"
"Come right away." Lantian said in Sichuan dialect in a hurry. Lu Lingqi and Gao Shun were startled again.
Lan Tian opened the door and took the lead to walk out. The cleaning lady looked at the three people's costumes up and down, and finally praised: "To say that among these invited actors, you are the most professional, and they are dressed exactly like on TV."
Lan Tian smiled slightly in response, and then led Lu Lingqi and Gao Shun into the elevator.
Because the elevator felt temporarily weightless, Lu Lingqi was so frightened that she grabbed Lan Tian's hand tightly, while Gao Shun swallowed his saliva with a sullen face.
Lu Lingqi and Gao Shun were constantly surprised by the novelty of telephones, elevators, and hotel electric doors. Their eyes widened even more when they saw the cars passing by on the street.
What kind of world is this? There are no horses pulling the carriage in front, so why is the carriage running by itself? And the speed is faster than a red rabbit horse.
Fantawild's reception car is an Iveco with a large space, which is mainly used to transport luggage and actors' props.
The driver saw the three people in Lantian dressed in ancient costumes and not even a suitcase around them, so he asked doubtfully: "Is there anyone else? Where are your suitcases?"
Lan Tian spread his hands and said, "No."
"Then get in the car and let's go. Young people nowadays are so smart." The driver took off the cigarette butt from the corner of his mouth, threw it on the ground and stamped it out, then opened the cab door and slowly put on his gloves.
Lu Lingqi and Gao Shun followed Lan Tian and sat in the back row. They carefully looked around and outside the window, sighing that the interior of the carriage was huge and the seats were so soft.
"Ah..." The pushing sensation of the vehicle starting made Lu Lingqi scream.
The driver looked at the rearview mirror, frowned and said, "I have been driving for 20 years, and I am known as a steady person among car friends. This is the first time I have seen such a timid girl."
"Master, drive slowly, she's a little carsick," Lan Tian reminded.
"I'll try my best to overcome it." Although the driver said this, he didn't let go of the accelerator at all. The background music in the old master's head was like a trap, and it was impossible to slow down.
"Boping, why do you think this carriage is running on its own? Where is the horse pulling the carriage?" Lu Lingqi asked, holding on to the front seat.
Gao Shun was a little dizzy from the driver's plates. He shook his head and said with difficulty: "I have to ask sir..."
"Uh... now we don't need a horse-drawn cart, we can just burn oil to move forward..." Lan Tian explained awkwardly.
"Oil? It's so magical. Is it tung oil for lighting lamps?" Lu Lingqi asked.
"It's gasoline..."
"What is gasoline?"
...
The conversation between Lu Lingqi and Lan Tian was transmitted to the cab, and the driver lit a cigarette and put it in his mouth, saying to himself: "Dressed like this to talk about cross talk? I don't know how much money Fang Te gave them in a day...
"
After Lan Tian and others entered the park, the roller coaster, pendulum, waterfall and other facilities in the sky once again refreshed Lu Lingqi and Gao Shun's senses. Lan Tian had to explain carefully.
During the Lantern Festival, Mianyang Fantawild carried out a Three Kingdoms-themed cosplay parade. The job content was to interact with tourists during the parade. In addition to reimbursing the fare, the cosplayers also had an appearance fee of 500 yuan.
The cosplayers all refer to games, movies and TV series, and their exaggerated styles and makeup are jaw-dropping. Only Lantian and the other three dress up realistically and plainly, but in this way they become the most eye-catching presence in the crowd, especially Gao Shun's exaggerated look.
190cm tall.
"Brother...can we take a photo?"
"Little brother...who are you pretending to be? Can you leave your phone number?"
"Brother...can you add me on WeChat?"
...
Gao Shun was surprisingly popular with the girls. When he saw these women acting like a fool, he dodged a few times and then shouted sharply: "How dare you, women and children, do this?"
Because of Gao Shun's loud voice, the scene was a little awkward.
Lan Tian quickly apologized: "My friend was too involved in the drama, beauties... forgive me..."
At this time, a man who cosplayed Lu Bu saw that Lu Lingqi was fresh and refined. He came over and patted her on the shoulder, and said with a smile: "Beauty, who is your cosplayer? How about we form a CP?"
Lu Lingqi stared blankly, how dare this guy tease her in front of her husband? Even Cao Cao and his thieves have the guts.
She grabbed the other person's hand and squeezed it hard, causing the person to scream in pain: "What are you doing? Are you crazy? Let me go..."
Lan Tian was like a firefighter: "Xiaojun, let him go quickly, everyone here greets him like this..."
"But he is teasing me." Lu Lingqi's hand became stronger, and the man's forehead was so painful that he sweated.
"Are you crazy..." the man screamed in pain.
Lan Tian quickly stopped Lu Lingqi, pointed at the people next to him and said, "Look at them..."
When Lu Lingqi saw these young men and women not only hugging each other, but also having sex with each other in public, her outlook was shocked and she let go of the man's hand.
The hands of the man in cos Lu Bu were numb from pinching. As he ran away, he cursed to himself: "It's really a hell today. I originally thought of picking up girls, but I didn't expect to meet a crazy woman. My hands hurt...
."
Mianyang Fantawild Park opens at 9:30, and Fantawild needs to debug the equipment before opening. This is a benefit for actors who enter the park before eight o'clock, so that they can play any attraction before nine o'clock.
Fantawild's most valuable program is Shenhua, which is similar to Shanghai Disney's Beyond the Horizon, except that the former is China's beauty, while the latter is a world attraction.
Lan Tian led the two of them straight to Oriental Mythology. When everyone was suspended in the air and pushed out by the machine, Lu Lingqi was so frightened that she grabbed Lan Tian's hand and closed her eyes tightly, while Gao Shun was still trying to hold on.
"Xiaojun, open your eyes and take a good look. Keeping it will open your eyes." Lan Tian said softly.
"Ah..." As soon as Lu Lingqi opened her eyes, the picture zoomed in rapidly, which made her heart beat faster.
However, Lu Lingqi and Gao Shun were both people who had seen blood, and after a short period of adaptation, they were immediately attracted by the beautiful scenery in front of them.
"This seems to be..."
"Great Wall."
"Where is this?"
"Leshan Giant Buddha."
...
Because the pace was so fast, Lu Lingqi had no time to ask further questions. She was dazzled after watching it for a few minutes, and was still unfinished when she finally landed.
"Husband, were those places just now..." Lu Lingqi asked suspiciously.
"They are all within the territory of the Han Dynasty." Lan Tian nodded.
"With such beautiful mountains and rivers, no wonder heroes all over the world are fighting for them..." Lu Lingqi sighed.
Since the park only gave them an hour to experience, Lan Tian took the two of them to play selectively. Next, they played the Nuwa Mending the Sky and Water Flooding Jinshan projects. The magnificent and fantastic special effects made the two ancient people speechless. These novel things
I can't even dream of it.
Under Lan Tian's patient introduction, Lu Lingqi and Gao Shun finally understood that they had arrived two thousand years later, and everything here was completely different from the original era.
"Ziyu, I heard them always talking about Mianyang Fangte. Where is this from the Han Dynasty?" Gao Shun looked puzzled.
Lan Tian smiled and said: "It's Fucheng where my brother-in-law entered Sichuan."
Gao Shun looked around and sighed: "If Fucheng was so prosperous at that time, how could the princes fight to the death in the Central Plains..."
It was half past nine in the blink of an eye, and tourists poured into the park like a tide. Some people rushed to various projects non-stop, and some people wandered lazily in the park.
Lantian and the others were dressed in ancient costumes and were constantly asked to take photos by tourists. The most popular among the young ladies was still Gao Shun. This serious man blushed when the little girl held his hand.
Lan Tian: Where is the emotional management guru you promised?
Most of the people who asked Lu Lingqi to take photos were children. The older friends (male) were too embarrassed to settle for the next best thing, so they asked Lan Tian who was next to her to fill in the question.
Visitors in the park were eating and drinking constantly. Seeing this, Lan Tian asked the park administrator to advance 200 yuan. He took Lu Lingqi and Gao Shun to buy hot dogs, fried potatoes and other instant meals to satisfy their hunger. The two of them felt like they were eating instant noodles.
In the afternoon, the performance at the Horse Show Theater started, and cosplayers were arranged in the auditorium to enhance the atmosphere.
Under the guidance of the host, the program featured characters such as the Five Tiger Generals, Zhuge Liang, Huang Yueying, Meng Huo, and Mrs. Zhu Rong.
Lu Lingqi looked at the actor who played Guan Yu and frowned, "These people are too different, aren't they? How can General Guan be so thin?"
"Not only is it boring to fight generals, but the riding skills are also ordinary." Gao Shun shook his head in regret.
Originally, the cosplayers were trying to cheer up the atmosphere, but what Lu Lingqi and Gao Shun said was just booing. The most fatal thing was that the audience next to them heard it. They thought the park had a special program and collectively booed Lan Tian and others.
Next show.
Because the enthusiasm of the tourists was suddenly aroused, the on-site staff were at a loss, and soon the person in charge of the program came to visit.
The person in charge reprimanded in a low voice: "We invited you here to add to the fun. Who asked you to cause trouble here? If our show crashes, you won't get any performance fees."
Lan Tian and others had just arrived. They had no ID cards, bank cards, or mobile phones, so they relied on this first pot of gold to get by. He quickly explained with a smile: "My two friends also did it unintentionally..."
"But now it's hard to get off the tiger, how do you want this theater to end?" the person in charge asked.
Lan Tian asked tentatively: "How about we perform equestrian next stage?"
Theater director: "Can you ride a horse? What if something goes wrong?"
Lantian said categorically: "Extremely exquisite."
When the person in charge of the theater saw that the shouts were getting stronger, he made a quick decision and said: "Then you go and try it. If the effect is good, I will give you a bonus."
"It's a deal."
Lan Tian whispered a few words to Lu Lingqi and Gao Shun, and then followed the staff into the backstage to choose horses.
Amid warm applause, the three rode horses to the center of the infield. Lu Lingqi and Gao Shun found the stirrups under their feet. They looked at each other and said that this was a wonderful thing.
Lan Tian and the others came from ancient times and were extremely skilled in horse control. They clamped their legs on the horse's belly and controlled the horse to perform various leaping movements.
Upon seeing this, the person in charge of the theater felt relieved and thought that these people's riding skills were excellent, so he asked the "Five Tiger Generals" to hand over their weapons to them for performance.
Lu Lingqi held the limp gun, pursed her lips and shook her head: "Can this thing be called a weapon? You might as well give us a few sticks."
The person in charge of the theater asked the staff to bring long wooden sticks. Lu Lingqi and Gao Shun waved them on the horse respectively. Their skillful and fluent movements made the audience stunned.
Lu Lingqi and Gao Shun fought with wooden sticks. The crisp sound of the wooden sticks hitting each other attracted bursts of applause from the audience in the seats.
Tourists heard that there was a new performance at the Ma Xiu Theater, so they gathered in the theater's stands. In the end, the top of the stands was filled with spectators.
The person in charge was sincerely moved when he saw this scene. This was the largest number of visitors since the opening of Ma Xiu Theater.
Finally, under Lan Tian's signal, Lu Lingqi and Gao Shun used force at the same time, and the two wooden sticks were directly broken, and their performance was pushed to the climax.
In fact, Lu Lingqi and Gao Shun are in good physical strength, but the horses under them lack endurance, especially Gao Shun, who is 1.9 meters tall.
The person in charge of the theater used his own money to give Lantian and the others a bonus of 1,000 each, which was higher than their performance fee today. Finally, he left his phone number to express his willingness to continue cooperation.
Before the park closed in the afternoon, at Lan Tian's instigation, Gao Shun experienced the big pendulum in the air.
Gao Shun, a boss with a serious expression, finally failed to manage his emotions in the most exciting project. He could only shout wildly in the sky, and finally vomited when he touched the ground.
After receiving their wages and leaving Fantawild, Lantian and the three of them had several thousand yuan in total.
Lan Tian patted his chest and said, "We have made a lot of money now, where else do you want to go?"
Lu Lingqi: "Why don't you find something to eat? I think Boping just vomited badly."
Gao Shun regained his serious expression and nodded after listening to Lu Lingqi's suggestion.
"Let me think about what to eat..." Lan Tian raised his head and thought.
"The hot dogs we had just now were good." Lu Lingqi suggested.
Lantian shook his head quickly: "There are so many delicacies in Sichuan, but you can't eat hot dogs."
At this moment, a taxi stopped in front of us to solicit customers: "You call this cosplay, right? Should handsome guys and beautiful girls go to the hotel or the high-speed rail station?"
The taxi driver's words reminded Lan Tian that it was getting dark now. They didn't have ID cards and couldn't find a place to stay at night.
"Should we go to Chengdu?" Lan Tianxin said that he would simply go to Chengdu to eat delicious food. Anyway, it is only two hours away from Mianyang.
The driver heard that it was a big job. These days, traveling far away is all about online ride-hailing. He happily asked: "I may have an empty car when I come back later. Do you want it for a fixed price of 300?"
"It's worth it." Lan Tianxin said that we are not short of money.
After getting into the taxi, Lu Lingqi asked in a low voice: "Husband, I heard that it takes several days to walk from Fucheng to Chengdu. Should we eat something first?"
Lan Tian touched Lu Lingqi's head and said, "It only takes two hours now, just one hour."
Lu Lingqi opened her eyes wide: "So fast?"
The taxi driver was very talkative. During the two hours on the way to Chengdu, he frequently chatted with the co-driver Gao Shun in broken Mandarin.
Gao Shun didn't understand at all and didn't know how to answer, so Lan Tian was the one communicating with the driver the whole time.
"Is your line of business very profitable?"
"It's not bad, I just have to eat..."
"I'll take you to Kuanzhai Alley in a moment. Those who do performance art will pay you twenty for taking pictures. You can make five or six hundred a night. It's still a lot of money."
"Uh... By the way, we're going to have some snacks. Are you going to drive a car during the Lantern Festival today?"
"As a breadwinner, if you want to make money, don't think about being comfortable. It's difficult for all walks of life now. Those of us who run taxis are squeezed out by online ride-hailing..."
"I see how optimistic you are."
"Otherwise, what can you do? As long as you are not lazy, God will always give you something to eat."
...
The two chatted for a while, and before they knew it, they had arrived in Chengdu and came to the crowded Kuanzhai Alley.
The lanterns were on and it was the Lantern Festival, and the nightlife in Chengdu had just begun. Lan Tian took Lu Lingqi and Gao Shun for a walk.
I tried the three cannons on the street, Lao Ma’s rabbit head, sad jelly, Juntun pot helmet, dragon hand and other special snacks.
The salty and sweet snacks were okay, but the spicy snacks made Lu Lingqi and Gao Shun unable to eat them at first, but the charm of Sichuan cuisine made the two ancient people unable to stop. With the help of their respective drinks, they got used to all the food.
Looking at the endless crowd of people in Kuanzhai Alley, Gao Shun couldn't help but ask: "Sir, the population here is too dense. How many people are there in Chengdu now?"
"More than 20 million." Lan Tian threw out a number.
Gao Shun was stunned after hearing this. Did the total population of the Han Dynasty have this number?
They ate delicious food in Kuanzhai Alley and had their ears picked out. They did not rely on their dressing up to earn money for taking photos. Lan Tian planned not to work during the Lantern Festival night, but to accompany the two of them to explore Chengdu first.
After leaving Kuanzhai Alley, Lantian took a taxi and took them straight to Wuhou Temple, where he heard there was a Lantern Festival Lantern Festival.
In fact, there was also the Shangyuan Lantern Festival during the Three Kingdoms period, but the tricks were far inferior compared to modern lanterns. Modern lanterns are all driven by electricity and can stay on all night long.
Feeling a little tired after walking around for a while, Lan Tian took Lu Lingqi and sat down on a bench by the roadside.
"Xiaojun, how is the future world like?" Lan Tian put his arm around her shoulders and asked tenderly.
"Everything is novel here, and there are delicious and fun things everywhere." Lu Lingqi replied with a smile.
"The world now is very different from the past. We must work hard to adapt and survive." Lan Tian urged.
Lu Lingqi leaned on Lan Tian's shoulder and murmured: "As long as my husband is here, it doesn't matter where I am, but it's a pity..."
"What's a pity?" Lan Tian turned around and asked doubtfully.
Lu Lingqi looked up at the full moon in the sky and said with a hint of sadness: "It's a pity that Yuan'er and Ji'er are not around..."
Lan Tian's body suddenly shivered with cold. He also looked up at the sky and sighed at the moon: "Lantern Festival, Yuanxiao Festival..."
Lantian's vision became increasingly blurry, and he shook his head violently. When everything became clear, the world around him changed again.
This is Lan Tian's room in Quanling. On the bed is Lan Yuan, and Lan Ji is snoring slightly. The two brothers are usually served, but he called them here during the Lantern Festival to enjoy their family relationship.
The rice wine and side dishes were still on the table, and Lu Lingqi, who was lying in front of the table, slowly raised her head.
"Husband, I had a strange dream just now, as if I went to Chengdu in the future with you..." Lu Lingqi said, rubbing her eyes.
"Me too." Lan Tian nodded slightly with tender eyes.
Lu Lingqi first looked at Lan Tian, ​​then looked sideways at her sleeping sons, with an extremely warm smile on her face.
"It's great that you are all here..."
...End of this article...
Tiggo celebrates the Lantern Festival, wishing all book friends good health and happiness. A few years ago, I went skiing on the Lantern Festival and wrote a poem, and I ended it here to suit the occasion.
Jiang Chengzi. Lantern Festival

The winding road leads to the cliffs and steep rocks, Bipenggou and Liangrashuang.
The Lantern Festival lion dance is auspicious at night, guessing word puzzles, looking at the lantern gallery, thousands of miles away, and busy counting the stars with my son.
