"The lotus leaves touching the sky are infinitely green, and the lotus flowers reflecting the sun are uniquely red."
Cheng Lin wasn't originally interested in traveling. He just thought that since he wanted to relax, he couldn't just stay in the hotel. It would be good to go out and see the mountains and rivers of his motherland and get some fresh air.
He was quite casual about travel destinations. He randomly selected any scenic spot that could be reached by long-distance bus in a short time, and chose Slender West Lake. I heard it was an AAA level scenic spot, but he didn't understand it anyway.
While in the car, Cheng Lin was flipping through the travel brochures he bought from the bookstore. There were introductions on the White Pagoda, the Twenty-Four Bridges, Xiaojin Mountain, etc. I heard that there is a Lotus Festival here every year, but unfortunately it is
Held in mid-July, this event is at the end of August, so we can’t catch up with the Lotus Festival, but it’s still nice to see the lotus flowers.
…
There was no big holiday at the end of August. May Day had already passed, and it was still early before the National Day. This was probably the off-season for tourism, right? Anyway, Cheng Lin and Cao Wei didn’t feel that there were too many people along the way. Of course, there were also
Quite a few.
Some were tour groups and some were individual travelers. Cheng Lin had enough to spend the remaining hundreds of thousands of yuan, and he didn't deliberately save money along the way.
The two of them spent the whole day walking around the entire Slender West Lake. It was not exciting, but it was indeed a bit pleasant. They took a lot of photos and ate a lot of local snacks.
The lotus flowers in the lake are growing happily, and their green color spreads towards the sky. In this hot summer, just looking at them makes them feel cool. After walking for a while and taking a boat ride, Cheng Lin and Cao Wei both felt refreshed from the fatigue they had accumulated before.
A lot of it has dissipated.
There was a small episode during this period.
While on the boat, Cheng Lin was curious for a moment and wanted to see if there were any fish that had become sperm in the lake, so he opened his hazy eyes and took a look. As a result, he didn't see the fish that had become sperm, but he accidentally glanced at it.
I accidentally saw two practitioners among the tourists on the shore.
The perception ability obtained from the future Zhu Sha was indeed convenient and easy to use. Cheng Lin took a glance and spotted the two practitioners who were radiating light from the group of tourists.
They seem to be a group of lovers, one man and one woman. Their cultivation level is probably between the peak of the first level and the second level. I can't see the details clearly. I can only estimate it. Anyway, it is lower than Cheng Lin's cultivation level.
"What are you looking at?"
Cao Wei, who was lying beside the boat and trying hard to catch fish in the river, glanced at Cheng Lin and asked.
"It's nothing. I seemed to have felt spiritual energy fluctuations just now. There seemed to be practitioners among the tourists." Cheng Lin looked back and replied.
"where?"
"Then... Hey, it's gone. He must have left." Cheng Lin guessed that Hazy Eyes has a detection range, but this is too far and there are too many people, so he can't see it.
"Is it official or a casual cultivator?" Cao Wei was a little curious.
Cheng Lin smiled and shook his head and said, "Whatever, as long as they don't hurt anyone and don't cause trouble, we can just pretend we didn't see them."
He didn't want to get too involved in this matter. He was out to relax this time, and Cheng Lin didn't bother to meddle in other people's business. If it was really an illegal cultivator, then there would be people from the local Sixth Division taking care of it, and it wouldn't be his turn.
"Well, I'll listen to you." Cao Wei nodded, turned her head and stuck her butt out and continued fishing.
…
After playing for a day, the two of them did not go to a hotel in the evening, but booked a B&B online.
A few hundred yuan a night is not cheap. It is a type that specializes in this. The location is not far from the lake. You can see the Qiling Pagoda of Daming Temple in the distance. The decoration is classic and modern. Anyway, Cheng Lin was quite satisfied and booked it in one go.
for a few days.
The two of them shared a room, and there was no embarrassing incident like in the TV series where a man and a woman were forced to live together in an inn after traveling together. It was a pretty normal stay.
On the second day, we continued to play for another day, but no matter how good the scenery was, I couldn’t stand to watch it continuously. The repeated scenery was somewhat boring. This time, the two of them came out of the scenic spot before it got dark and looked at each other for a while. Cheng Lin
He scratched his head and said, "How about... I'll take you to the amusement park to ride the Ferris wheel."
Cao Wei was carrying a small schoolbag and wearing a sun hat. When she heard this, her face darkened: "Childish."
"...Then where do you think we should go?"
Cao Wei hesitated for a moment, then suddenly plucked up the courage to drag Cheng Lin to a street, pointed at the door curtain of a house, and said, "This!"
Looking at her like this, it seems that she has stepped on it a long time ago.
Cheng Lin looked up and saw four big characters on the sign: "Longteng Internet Cafe."
"You want to go to the Internet cafe?" Cheng Lin stared at her in surprise, "What are you doing here?"
"Playing games."
"What game do you want to play?"
"have no idea."
After a pause, Cao Wei suddenly bit her lip, turned away her eyes, and handed Cheng Lin the back of her head: "I...have never used a computer."
His voice was low, and he seemed a little embarrassed.
Cheng Lin glanced at her a few times, feeling a little confused, but in the end he didn't ask. He just thought about it and said, "Okay."
…
The name of this Internet cafe is vulgar but the decoration is not bad. It is difficult for the smoky Internet cafes to survive these days. They have transformed into this so-called "cafe". Cao Wei is not yet eighteen years old, although she also has an identity.
However, since he could not access the Internet, Cheng Lin only used his ID card to open a machine.
Cao Wei took Cao Wei to the second floor and turned on the computer skillfully. Cao Wei looked around curiously, staring at the game images on the screens next to her in a daze.
"What do you want to play? I'll open it for you." Cheng Lin opened the game list and asked.
Cao Wei hesitated for a moment and pointed to a chicken player next to her, "The one who shoots and kills."
"It's too bloody and violent, let's change it." Cheng Lin said calmly.
Cao Wei was unhappy: "His blood is all green..."
"That won't work either." Cheng Lin was not humane at all.
"Then play that one and stab people with a knife." She pointed at a certain alliance player.
"It's too bloody and violent, try another one." Cheng Lin continued to shake his head.
Cao Wei was furious: "Is this also violent?"
"He was holding a knife, so of course he was violent."
Cao Wei pursed her lips and looked around. She could see these two games as far as she could see. She was confused: "I...you pick one for me?"
"Then you can play Minecraft." Cheng Lin thought for a moment and opened the world of pixel villains. Then he saw Cao Wei's little face next to him, as black as the bottom of a pot. He felt a little embarrassed and coughed lightly.
, said, "That's it, do you want to play or not?"
Boss Cao Wei was not happy, but finally said: "Play!"
…
After switching seats, Cao Wei sat in a large chair and held the tabletop. Cheng Lin pushed the chair forward a lot so that she could reach the keyboard and mouse.
With one hand holding the mouse and the other hand nervously touching the keyboard, Cao Wei stared at Steve, who was looking at the pixels on the screen, feeling stupid and at a loss.
Cheng Lin had no choice but to stand behind the chair and point, "w to move forward, s to move back...i to open the inventory, q to drop items..."
It can be seen that this is indeed her first contact, so she is very unfamiliar, but soon, Cao Wei, who has the highest learning ability, became proficient in operating it. Although she was not happy when she sat down at first, after all, she looked at what others were doing.
They all shoot people with bang bang bang bang, or release super gorgeous skills, and then look at yourself, carrying a freshly made ax to chop down trees all over the world...
The momentum is much weaker.
But gradually, Cao Wei still immersed herself in it. With Cheng Lin, a veteran of the game, teaching her step by step, she didn't even have to search the Internet for strategies. Cao Wei was operating and Cheng Lin was directing, which was a great pleasure.
The reason why Cheng Lin played this game with Cao Wei was to reduce the violence in this little girl's character. He didn't know what Cao Wei's life was like in the Tenth Hospital, but judging from previous contact experiences, she obviously had a deep understanding of him.
There is a lack of clear understanding of the harm that power can cause to others.
It was like when two people met for the first time, Cao Wei hit them with a big hammer, which revealed a cruelty similar to that of a child pouring hot water on ants.
Cheng Lin always felt that the training given to her by the Tenth Academy might be a bit deformed, too focused on the enhancement of strength and cultivation, while neglecting some more important education on the rules of life.
Of course, Cheng Lin had no right to interfere in how other colleges teach students, but now that Cao Wei is following him, he feels that he has the responsibility to give her some more correct understanding.
For example, what is good, what is bad, what should be done, what should not be done.
Try to expose her to something more positive and positive.
After all...he is older than her.
…
Thinking about these, he slowly guided Cao Wei to start building a house. Just when Cao Wei's small house had just taken shape, the network administrator suddenly came over with a policeman.
"We received reports from the public that there are minors surfing the Internet. Is it you?"
…
…
Ten minutes later, Cheng Lin and Cao Wei ran out of the Internet cafe in despair.
The police officer caught him and criticized him for a long time. In the end, he had no choice but to take out his student ID card from the Ninth Academy of Spiritual Training to prove his identity as a practitioner, and he was able to escape.
When they walked to the street, the two of them looked at each other. Cao Wei was especially aggrieved because her small house was only half built... and it was gone.
Cheng Lin also felt uncomfortable. The top-ranked elite student from the two major colleges, the future pillar of the nation's practitioners, was actually caught by the policeman for surfing the Internet and criticized for a long time. If this was reported back, where would he save his face?
"well."
One big and one small, they both let out a long sigh at the same time, feeling endlessly sad.
"Where to go next?" Cao Wei looked at him eagerly, "How about changing to another house and continuing..."
Cheng Lin glared at her, "I'm not going anywhere, go back and sleep!"
…
When the dejected two finally returned to the B&B, climbed the stairs and opened the door, Cheng Lin was surprised to find that a new guest had arrived in the room next to the B&B.
A man and a woman seemed to be lovers, they looked slightly familiar.
"Aren't these the two practitioners I saw by chance during the day?"
