Walk all the way

The setting sun slanted towards the west and cast a layer of warm orange light, shining on the black antique tiles on the roofs on both sides of the ancient street, and also dyed the ground of the ancient street.The passenger flow has increased, and the aroma of snacks and meals has filled the entire ancient street.In the youth hostel at the entrance of the ancient street, the bottom light of the light beige signboard on the lintel also emits a faint light.

Jiang Chuanxu sat behind the front desk, flicking his phone.The door on the partition wall behind the counter was opened, and Zhou Tian, ​​who was still wearing an apron, came out with a freshly prepared dinner, bent down and put it on the table.

"It's time to eat." Zhou Tian also glanced at Jiang Chuanxu's mobile phone interface, pulled a stool and sat down beside him, "Don't stare at the phone too much, it's not good for your eyes." As always, he was expressionless but said caring words.

Jiang Chuanxu turned off the phone screen and put it aside, stretched his body that was a little stiff from sitting for a long time, looked sideways at Zhou Tianyi, with his usual gentle smile on his face: "Yes, but Ruoqing will pass soon." It’s your birthday, you have to prepare birthday presents.”

"Don't buy online, there's still half a month left, let's go to the mall some time. Wash your hands and eat."

"it is good."

The daily dinner is too daily, and it is basically impossible to leave people when opening a hotel. Although the May Day holiday has just passed, it is not certain that there will be no guests.

After dinner, Zhou Tian also went to the kitchen to wash the dishes, and Jiang Chuanxu, who was sitting in front of the counter, remembered what Zhou Tianyi said just before the meal, and couldn't help but recall, when was the last time he went to the mall?Seems like it's been a while.After two days, the store will be closed for one day, and they will go out for a walk. In addition to buying gifts for Ruoqing, the weather is getting hotter, so it's time to buy some summer clothes for the two of them.Jiang Chuanxu made up his mind.

The bell on the store door rang a familiar sound, and Jiang Chuanxu's thoughts immediately returned to reality as the bell rang.

"Welcome to Temporary Youth Hostel, do you have an appointment in advance?" He walked out from behind the counter and walked towards the door of the store while talking.

It was a woman.The woman stood at the door and did not go in.She has long hair with a shawl and slightly curly bottom, wearing a pair of sunglasses to cover half of her face, but judging from the lip gloss on her mouth, it should be a simple yet delicate makeup, but the face cannot be covered The lost fine lines can be inferred to be about 40 years old.The woman is relatively tall, and a beige long trench coat is properly dressed to show her tallness.Beside the woman's legs, a golden retriever dog stood there very quietly, with a pair of black eyes shining brightly.

"No appointment," the woman said calmly, "may I ask, are guide dogs allowed in your hotel?"

Jiang Chuanxu couldn't help being taken aback, and looked at the woman at the door in surprise.

The woman didn't hear any answer, so she smiled lightly: "Sorry." Then she turned to leave.

"Wait..." Jiang Chuanxu said hastily, "Yes, guide dogs can come in, and they can also stay with their owners. However, our rooms are all on the second floor, isn't it inconvenient?"

"No, Longzi is very smart, he will take me up the stairs." The woman lowered her head and "looked" at the golden retriever guide dog named Longzi beside her legs, with a petting smile, as if she was "watching" own children.Long Zi also looked up at his master. "Besides," the woman raised her head and looked straight ahead, "I didn't come out alone, I had a companion. There were some problems with the hotel I booked at the beginning, so we split up nearby to find a place to live. To be precise, it was Long Zi who could stay. address."

"Come in, I'll check you in."

"Thank you." After the woman said, she fumbled in the windbreaker pocket, took out an ID card, and handed it to Jiang Chuanxu, "There are two people in total. I will contact her now and let her come over."

Jiang Chuanxu took the ID card, hesitated to speak, was silent for a moment, smiled and said: "Don't stand at the door, it's windy at night, there are tables and chairs inside, I'll help you sit down and wait." Gently grabbed the woman's hand With his left arm, he led her to the chair and sat down, while Long Zi sat meekly at the woman's feet.

Jiang Chuanxu came to the counter and registered.At this time, Zhou Tian, ​​who had cleaned up the kitchen, also came out. He saw the woman and the golden retriever, and his eyes were full of doubts.

"Guide dog." Jiang Chuanxu lowered his voice, and whispered to Zhou Tianyi, "I'll just come and greet the guest. I wronged you this time, and I will make it up to you another day."

"..." Zhou Tian also looked at Jiang Chuanxu, whose eyes were full of apology, and sighed in his heart, "It's okay, let me do it."

"No, in case of allergies, it's not a trivial matter." Jiang Chuanxu said seriously.

"Okay, listen to you."

"Is there another person...?" The woman suddenly asked.

"Yes." Jiang Chuanxu replied.Looking at Zhou Tianyi, he smiled and whispered: "You go to have a rest."

Zhou Tian also nodded slightly: "Call me if you have anything to do." Then he opened the door and entered the other side of the partition wall.

"Have you contacted your companion yet?"

"Well, she'll be here soon. Voice input on smartphones is very convenient now." The woman said, "Are you the shop owner?"

"Yes, most youth hostels are homestays."

"May I ask, are you a man? Your voice is a bit neutral, but it feels like a gentle boy."

Jiang Chuan said with a smile: "It's almost thirty, and I'm no longer a teenager. In two years, I will be called an 'uncle'."

"A person with a young heart will always be a teenager." The woman said lightly.

Jiang Chuanxu couldn't help being taken aback for a moment, and then a slightly bitter smile faded from the corner of his mouth: "Really...? When I was young, many people said that I was young and mature..." His tone also weakened.

"It is rare to have the calmness of 20 years old when you are in your teens, and the youth of 30 years old when you are 20 years old."

"So I really can't afford it." Jiang Chuanxu registered the information and came to the side of the woman, "Please keep your ID card. Should I take you up first or wait for your companion to come?"

"Wait for her to come."

"Okay." Jiang Chuanxu looked down at the golden retriever sitting obediently beside the woman's legs, and asked, "Can I touch the dragon? It's called the dragon."

"Yes, it's called Longzi. You can touch it. Be gentle."

Jiang Chuanxu squatted down, stretched out his hand to caress Longzi's head, and followed the direction of the golden hair growth. It was very soft, which showed that he was usually well taken care of.Jiang Chuanxu still had his usual smile on his face, but it could be seen that his smile was genuine because his eyes were crooked.To see if a person is really happy, look at the eyes, not the mouth.

"Do you like animals?" the woman asked.

"like."

"Then why don't you think about raising one yourself?"

"He has a slight allergy to animal hair."

"Is that the person just now?"

"Well, this store is opened by the two of us."

"It's a pity, but it's really not suitable for keeping pets. Many people don't understand allergies and think it's hypocritical. In fact, severe allergies can kill people. I'm really sorry to cause you trouble."

"It's okay, so I let him go to rest, and I'll welcome you. By the way, it's very difficult to get a guide dog. There are very few institutions that train guide dogs. The qualified guides that can be trained every year The number of blind dogs is also extremely limited."

The woman sighed slightly: "Yes, it took me five years to get the dragon child. Before the dragon child came to me, I seldom went out, and I had to be accompanied when I went out. After I had the dragon child, it was convenient to go out. Quite a few, but I also encountered other difficulties. In the past two years, I have gotten better. If I don’t travel far, I only need to take Longzi. He can take me out properly, and then bring me back properly. Yes Said, the dragon son is my eyes."

The woman didn't say clearly what difficulties she encountered, but Jiang Chuanxu knew it well.Restrictions on guide dogs on public transport and public places also limit the range of movement of people like women.In fact, general pets, Jiang Chuanxu is not allowed to enter the store, because Zhou Tianyi is considered, but Jiang Chuanxu can't do it this time as usual, maybe out of sympathy, maybe because he can't bear it, or for other reasons , He himself is not too clear, but one thing Jiang Chuanxu understands is that if he does not receive this special guest, it may be difficult to find a hotel where he can stay.

"Then it's a long trip this time."

"Linxing, it's not too far away."

Before Jiang Chuanxu could say another word, there was a rush of bells ringing. He turned around and saw a girl in her twenties wearing black round-frame glasses barged in.

"Teacher!" The girl was a little out of breath, and the backpack on her back fell off because of anxiety, so she pulled it up.Seeing Jiang Chuanxu, he hurriedly took a few steps forward: "You are the owner of the shop, thank you very much!" He said and bowed deeply.

Jiang Chuanxu was a little flattered, and hurriedly helped the girl up: "It's not a big deal, don't do this."

The girl got up, took off her glasses, rubbed the corners of her reddened eyes, put them back on, and said with a smile, "I'm just a little excited."

Jiang Chuanxu noticed that the girl had a deep dimple when she laughed.

"This girl's character is just like this, she's straightforward, don't mind the boss." The woman explained with a smile.

The girl also scratched her head in embarrassment.

"Take your ID card and ask the boss to register. After registration, we will go up to rest. We still have work tomorrow."

"Ok."

The girl took out her wallet from her backpack, and when she was taking her ID card, Jiang Chuanxu caught a glimpse of an old photo in the wallet—a photo of a young woman and a little girl, with bright smiles and a child with deep dimples. A woman has bright eyes.

It turns out that your eyes were once so beautiful.

The author has something to say: This is really a Tanmei novel... (covers face)

Why do I say this, because I sent the written article to Fa Xiaokan, and after reading a chapter, she said to me: I think Jiang Chuanxu is a little bit off.

I can only reply to her: It was originally...

Maybe the first few articles tell more stories about guests, but later there will be stories about the main characters and supporting characters.

The articles have already been written, so they will be updated, and will be updated three times a week unless there are special circumstances.

I hope that the little cuties who see it can watch happily, thank you!
