Chapter 290: I once dreamed of walking the world with a sword(1/2)
In winter, it should be very pleasant to warm wine by the fire and watch the snowflakes falling outside the window.
The two rough old men didn't have that kind of leisure and leisure. They ate meat in large quantities and added tons of Duobao.
Qin Hao refused to drink, and Wang Zijun had no one to accompany him, so it would be meaningless to drink a little by himself.
The small hot pot kept rolling, with a layer of red oil floating on it.
Finally, after the dishes were rinsed, Qin Hao picked his teeth with a toothpick. Wang Zijun took the invitation and looked at the date carefully, put it in his bag, put on their coats and went out together.
The cold wind wrapped with snowflakes hit my face, it was chilly, and there was another layer of thick snow outside.
"See you."
"Get in the car to see you off."
"No, it's not far, I still have to..."
"Catch the thief!"
A sharp cry rang out, and Qin Hao, who was speaking, turned his head and saw someone running away in a hurry. He yelled and stopped, then started chasing him.
In just a few seconds, it was already gone...
Wang Zijun stood quietly in the cold wind for a moment, looking at Qin Hao's strong figure, and then looked down at his belly, feeling a little sad.
Compared with this guy, he looks greasy.
A woman ran out next to her. Wang Zijun didn't get in the car immediately. He wrapped himself in a down jacket and took two steps forward to talk, "Mom, what did you lose?"
Anyway, I can't keep up with Qin Hao, so I can only watch here, just in case I encounter someone with a knife again, and I can help him hit 120 in time.
"The battery was all removed. I watched him squatting there and tinkering with something. Fortunately, he didn't steal it. It took a long time to ask the security guard to chase him..."
"Oh, it's not lost, that's okay."
The two of them looked at Qin Hao chasing after him and pinning him down with a flying swoop. They were both amazed.
"That guy... that guy..."
"This is what you do to boost your performance at the end of the year." Wang Zijun touched his belly and became more and more envious.
The aunt was stunned for a moment, unable to realize what she meant by doing this.
…
In the west in December, it gets dark relatively early, especially in snowy weather, where the wind and snow are diffuse and visibility is very low.
As soon as the boss closed the door of the inn, there was another knock.
The door opened, and the wind mixed with snow particles rushed in. There were two people, one tall and one short, wearing hats and goggles, scarves around their necks, thick coats wrapping them tightly, covered with wind and snow,
Carrying a bag and dragging a suitcase, I walked in.
"Do you have a room?"
"have."
“One double bed room.”
"I have standard rooms here."
"..."
"Then just a standard room."
The two of them waited for the boss to close the door again, blocking out the wind and snow. The inn suddenly became quieter.
He gently took off his scarf and hat, breathed a sigh of relief, took out his ID card and put it on the bar.
Only then did the boss see what they looked like. They were not very big, they were a young couple, maybe hiking enthusiasts - he guessed that this place was remote and there were only a few types of people coming and going during this off-peak tourist season.
"Xu Qing, Jiang He..."
The boss took the ID card to register, then pushed the ID card and the key back together and said, "Second floor."
"Thanks."
Xu Qing took the key, pulled the suitcase and Jiang He upstairs, and looked for the room number on the key to find his room.
After entering the room, they put their backpacks on the small table. The two of them looked at the room layout, then took off their coats and lay on the bed, stretching themselves out.
Blue sky, golden Gobi.
Snow-white mountains, blue lake.
There are also endless prairie areas.
When it snows, you can't see anything.
After taking a short rest in the room, Jiang He got up again, walked to the bed and looked outside.
The wind and snow were very strong, covering the mountains and plains. The houses seemed not to be very stable, and the whistling wind could be heard.
"Does it feel familiar?" Xu Qing said with her head buried in bed.
The inn is a wooden building, even the stairs are made of wood. It feels like ancient inns should be similar.
"I've never seen such a strong wind."
Jiang He left from the window. It was getting dark, but everything he could see was completely white. Only half of the street could be seen outside. In this weather, there wasn't even a ghost on the street.
"The wind blows and the grass is low, and you can see the cattle and sheep... It might be sunny tomorrow." Xu Qing turned on his mobile phone and looked at it. There were two signals, and he could just check the weather forecast - although it was not very accurate.
It is quite dangerous for two young men and women to travel to such a remote place, but with the strength of their own strength, it is others who are in danger.
Along the way, I didn’t encounter any scammers or deceivers. The only thing I had to contend with was the weather.
Thinking of getting married and having children, Xu Qing felt that taking Jiang He to travel all over the great rivers and mountains could no longer wait. It would be difficult to think about such freedom when the children were born in the future.
He always remembers his NPC responsibilities, taking his ancient friends to visit more and see more. He can't get married anymore, so he doesn't take what he said before seriously.
Jiang He was quite reluctant at first, preferring to stay at home and play games. After he came out, he really enjoyed it.
Xu Qing rested for a while, then got up and adjusted the quilt. It was quite thick. The two of them squeezed into the same bed. Jiang He's cotton lining was warm and could be used as a hand warmer.
The signal in this place is not good, I don’t play with mobile phones, I don’t know how good the soundproofing is, and I don’t play anything else. The two of them are wrapped in a big quilt, listening to the howling wind outside, hugging each other and slowly falling asleep, Jiang He hugs him
Squeeze twice and fall asleep like this.
…
Early the next morning, Jiang He yawned and opened the curtains, once again witnessing the changeable climate of the plateau.
Yesterday, the snowstorm roared like crazy. Today, when I opened my eyes, it was a bright sunny day. There were no clouds in the blue sky.
"Wake up!"
"Oh, sleep a little longer and come here..."
Xu Qing closed his eyes without even opening them. He stretched out an arm and stretched it out. Jiang He came over and grabbed his hand, pulling him to sit up.
I still want to sleep in during the day, but I don't like him.
"well……"
Xu Qing was finally willing to open his eyes, looked at the window over there, and said, "Is it sunny?"
Jiang He didn't stop by the bed anymore. He pulled him up and turned to wash up. Hearing this, he replied: "Yes."
Sunny days make people feel happy, and she is ready to be happy now.
Xu Qing got up, washed his face and brushed his teeth, changed his clothes, put on his sunglasses and hat and went out. When he came to the street, he found that the sun was so bright that Jiang He couldn't help but put on his sunglasses like him.
This western town is not big, more like a tribe. It is just one street and can be walked in a few minutes. There are only a few pedestrians, some of whom are dressed similar to them, and they are all here to have fun - there is a clear difference between local residents and tourists from other places.
, which can be easily seen.
The people here grew up in the wind and sand, exposed to the wind and sun, have dark and rough skin, and strong bodies. Compared with them, even Xu Qing, who often practices martial arts, feels a bit like a niche student.
There are people selling handicrafts, and there are no stalls on the road. The door of the house is open, and it is cool and dark inside. An old lady with a wrinkled face is stringing beads in her hands. There are jewelry and price signs hanging next to them, and there are big paper signs.
The price was handwritten.
Seeing the two of them looking over, she raised her head and smiled, with a very simple smile on her face.
Xu Qing helped Jiang He hold up his wide-brimmed hat to prevent him from being tanned by the sun. Seeing Jiang He looking at the old lady, he asked, "Would you like to come over and have a look? Buy a horn comb and take it back."
"Let's go eat."
Jiang He took Xu Qing and left.
There were vegetable sellers on the street, and they also spread a piece of cloth on the ground. The sparse vegetables looked a little wilted.
There is no way to cook in the standard room where I live, and it is difficult for people to think about cooking due to the poor nutrition of vegetables. Fortunately, although the town is small, it has everything it needs. The canteen and restaurant are next to Ken, which has a unique western flavor.
Sencha flavor.
Clear sky, gentle breeze, border town, pedestrians' conversations.
Sitting in the small restaurant, the two of them relaxed physically and mentally, which was completely different from the feeling in the city.
"Butter tea, gnocchi, barbecue, cheese...two servings first."
Xu Qing was not used to the food here at first, but when he ate it after he was hungry, it tasted better than anyone else. Especially the butter tea, which had a strong tea aroma and a tangy milk aroma. He also wanted to take some ingredients back when he left.
