Three people and one horse strolled to the county seat and walked out of the mountains for a whole day and night.
More than ten years ago, since Kangding Love Song became popular, countless people across the country have become aware of this place.
The local government keenly seized the opportunity and vigorously developed tourism. Official reports said that due to tourism, the annual income of local residents has exploded from more than 3,000 yuan to more than 10,000 yuan.
After riding horseback to the entrance of the old station, I took the old lady off my back and bumped her up.
"Brother Xiang, I have wanted to ask you on the way. This bag of yours is too heavy. What does it contain?" Snake Girl asked.
"It's nothing, just some of our daily necessities. It's hard for me to get things while I'm carrying your mother on my back. Please do the hard work."
There are accommodations behind Dongguan Old Station. I wanted to rest here for a few hours, and the most important thing was to take a shower, because in addition to the smell of sweat, there was also an indescribable "strange smell" on my clothes.
"Accommodation? How many people?"
I said two people.
"Two people? Are you alone?" The receptionist pointed at the old lady I was carrying.
"Hey, you see I forgot."
I smiled and said, "This is my mother. She just came back from the hospital. She had a stroke and can't move. If you can be accommodating, I won't have to refund the deposit."
"Oh... Okay, no need to register, room 216." The front desk gave me the key.
After settling mother and daughter, I hid my bag under the bed, then hurried downstairs and asked, "Why can't you take a shower in the house? There's no water!"
The front desk replied: "The bathing facilities haven't been repaired yet, so you can't wash it now. If you really want to wash it, just take a taxi and go to Princess Bridge to wash it."
I complained softly and immediately went out to take a taxi.
After a while, I caught a "Tuoer."
The locals call it Tuoer, which means Alto black taxi.
There are not many regular taxis here, most of them are Xiali sedans. When I got in the car, I went straight to the topic and said: "Master, let's go to the Princess Tomb Bathhouse."
My accent sounded like a foreigner, which was more deceiving than the driver.
At that time, it was clearly enough to pass through Dongguan Elementary School, but it took a long way around, and I didn't know anything about it.
Tuoer walked slowly, so I rolled down the window and quietly looked at this love song county town.
Many years have passed, and some memories are vague.
In my impression, on both sides of the county town at that time, there were no willow trees that are popular today. They were all large sycamore trees, and the fire brigade tree was the largest.
On both sides of the river, there are stalls and sheds selling barbecue.
The driver told me that there are more people eating barbecue here at night, which is called a lively place.
Passing through Dongguan Elementary School, I only remember a "green olive" with the brand name of Shasha Dance Hall on the green olive.
There were several beautiful girls at the door, wearing black silk plaid skirts, halter tops and small sandals, with their hair pulled into a straight style. They were as beautiful and fashionable as the little girls nowadays.
At that time, few people dared to dress like this on the streets of Beijing. You can only imagine the degree of openness here.
The black silk stockings were just like the black silk stockings today. The pattern covered the top of the thighs, and it felt like the skirts would float up when the wind blew. These girls were dancing at the Green Olive at that time.
I also have an impression of that bathhouse.
Looking from the Princess Bridge, in broad daylight, white gas was constantly rising from the roof of the bathhouse, and those who didn't know it thought it was on fire.
The private dining room cost ten yuan. I took a shower and came out feeling refreshed. The fatigue of two days was gone.
After getting on Alto, I asked: "Brother, I see you have a map, can you sell it to me?"
"What do you mean? If you want it, take it. I got it for free."
"Go back to the hotel?"
I nodded and asked again: "Do you know where I can buy second-hand cars that cost tens of thousands of yuan and are not expensive?"
"Hey! You asked the right person, my cousin is the largest second-hand car dealer in Kangding!"
"How about the 1999 Xiali sedan? It only costs more than 6,000 yuan, and it is durable and durable."
"Go and have a look. If it works, I'll buy it."
His cousin who sells used cars lives in a movie theater.
