Mountains and seas close at hand

It rained all day, and when the rain eased, we followed Chubb back to his house.The door lock is intact, but someone has been in the house.

The visitors were unscrupulous, all kinds of fast food garbage bags on the Eight Immortals table, and a layer of cigarette butts on the ground.Through the lingering smell of tobacco and alcohol in the room, one could see the other party's arrogance.

Miss Bai said, "Chubu, you and us..."

"Let's go." Chubb dug out the key from the drawer, "I'll see you off."

Under the cover of rain, we returned to the county seat in Chubb's agricultural tractor.

The countryside and towns in the rainstorm look extraordinarily empty.Chubb dropped us off at the station and insisted on staying.Watching the tractor disappear at the end of the road, none of the three of us spoke.

The bus drove slowly, and when we arrived in Luding County, we drove away immediately.Sitting in the pickup truck, I looked sideways out the window.

Raindrops slapped on the glass window, cracked, splashed, and slid down the glass.They go on and on and repeat.The latecomers ran over the corpses of the forerunners, and wrote their own heroics on the clear glass.

Various experiences in the mountains of Jinshan Village kept appearing in front of my eyes.I woke up in a nightmare like a dye vat, cold sweat soaked my back, and the air conditioner shuddered.

Miss Bai touched my forehead and said, "Look for a hospital."

I took a deep look at her and said softly, "Don't go, if we meet someone who is more vigilant, we won't be able to tell."

Ji Bao walked half a circle in Tianquan County and found a pharmacy. Miss Bai helped me treat the wound.

Fortunately my right arm was not broken, just a muscle strain.Others are just scratches and bruises, and it will be fine after a few days of recuperation.

"Why is the muscle strain tied up like this?" I looked at the mummified arm and couldn't help muttering, "It's like making me disabled."

Ji Bao smiled as he started the car: "Isn't that great, people give up their seats on the bus."

While talking, the mobile phone plugged in for charging and navigating rang.I looked over and asked in a low voice, "Is it your company?"

Miss Bai shook her head slightly and connected the phone.She listened for two seconds, put it down and turned it off, and said helplessly, "No mortgage loan."

I couldn't help laughing, and asked again: "What day is today? Will your company fire you?"

Miss Bai handed the phone to me, and in the call log, there were four or five missed calls marked with "company".Seeing this, I couldn't help joking: "You are very popular."

Ms. Bai smiled and said, "Of course, otherwise, HR would not agree to take sick leave. 3 days of annual leave, 2 days of sick leave, plus 2 weekends before and after. This trip took 9 days."

I squinted my eyes and said with a smile: "The first seven days are not considered vacations, they are called super-intensive overtime."

"It's not just super-strength, it's deadly." Ji Bao said angrily, and then his face was full of excitement, "It's so exciting, this life is worth it!"

I glanced at Miss Bai and suggested, "Why don't we spend a day in Chengdu...I feel sorry for myself if I don't eat hot pot when I come to Chengdu."

"Okay!" Ji Bao immediately agreed.

Miss Bai thought for a while and nodded in agreement.

成都

One year for gatherings, two years for townships, and three years for Chengdu.

In the lifeline of Chengdu, the Minjiang River is rushing.

Silkworms in green shirts strolled along the river, looking across the fertile plain.Bai Lu looked up at the flowing water, waiting for the opportunity to restore the country.Yufu stretched out his hand and waved, and the flock of birds plunged into the river.Du Yu looked down at the flourishing dynasty, waiting for the turtle spirit to return from flood control.The golden mask that was still warm fell down, and the enlightened dynasty stepped onto the stage of history.

Going round and round for thousands of years, the kings of Shu have circled round and round in Chengdu.Imprint your own name, and also imprint history.

"Toll booth ahead, slow down."

After getting off the Chengdu-Chongqing Ring Expressway, Ji Bao asked me where I was going.I have never been to Chengdu, so I thought about it and said Wuhou Temple.

"Keep on the left, enter Ximian Bridge Street, and drive for 880 meters."

Thinking of the mechanical sound of navigation, Ji Bao laughed out loud: "Washing face bridge? Is there a washing-washing bridge?"

At this time, the lights are just coming on, and the neon lights reflect the busy traffic, colorful and psychedelic.I saw a sign on the side of the road that said Yiguan Temple, so I said: "Guan Yu was defeated in Maicheng, and his body could not be transported back to Shu, so Liu Bei built a Yiguan Temple for him. Get off the horse and wash your face by the bridge in front of the temple, and then go in to reminisce with your brothers. That’s why this place got its name, Washing Mian Bridge.”

Ji Bao didn't say anything, probably because he believed it.

In fact, I am talking nonsense.Chengdu is the most famous story of the Three Kingdoms, Liu Guanzhang, Zhuge Liang.Wash your hands and face to show "propriety", and the heroes of the Three Kingdoms most conform to Confucian etiquette is Uncle Liu Huang.The story is always good according to his head.

When Liu Bei entered Xichuan and took Chengdu, his generals basically completed the collection.The famous generals who died before him, Pang Tong was buried in Baimaguan, Zhang Fei was buried in Langzhong, and Huang Zhong was buried in the western suburbs of Chengdu, all in Sichuan.

Only Guan Yu lost to Maicheng and was killed by Sun Quan.Sun Quan feared that Liu Bei would retaliate, and wanted to please Cao Cao.Send Guan Yu's head to Luoyang and dedicate it to Boss Cao.Then Guan Yu was buried in Dangyang, Hubei with the ceremony of the princes.

Guan Yu rested his head on Luoyang and lay on Dangyang.Uncle Liu Huang set up a tomb for him in Chengdu, which is very reasonable.

Pass Ximian Bridge Street to Wuhou Temple Avenue.As the car turned a corner, the red light signboard was particularly conspicuous in the night.I pointed out the window and said, "There's a hotel over there... Credit Suisse Hotel, it looks pretty good."

Ji Bao glanced at it, and said with distaste: "We survived a catastrophe, can we enjoy life?"

I saw her stepping on the gas pedal and passing by at high speed, I raised my eyebrows and educated her: "This hotel looks good, with four floors and a single house. This kind of location may not be cheap."

Ji Bao held the steering wheel: "It's up to you, I'll be the host. You can check it out for me, don't be polite, pick the most expensive one."

When I heard it, it was very good.Pick up Ms. Bai's mobile phone and directly search for nearby star-rated hotels on the map.In the end, I was dumbfounded. The most expensive hotel in Wuhou District was Sichuan Jinjiang Hotel.On the other side of Chunxi Road, there are many high-end hotels such as Marriott, Shangri-La, and Oasis.

Ji Bao expressed disbelief: "How long will it take to drive there? I feel like the road is already blocked."

Ms. Bai said: "Wuhou Temple is in the old town, we can just find a chain hotel nearby."

So we went around on the road and found an orange hotel.The exterior of the hotel is gray and cold, and the decoration of the lobby is quite individual.The front desk was built with various speakers, and I stepped forward and said, "A triple room, or a family room is also fine."

"Ah? No triple room!" Ji Bao followed up dragging the suitcase, looked at the price list and said, "I live alone, I want a room... Genius glasses dog? Genius glasses cat? Do you have trouble with geniuses or with glasses? make life difficult for?"

The front desk of the hotel smiled and said: "Sorry, we don't have a triple room. You can choose a double bed room or a double bed room. In addition to these two types, our theme rooms also have industrial style, Las Vegas, and forest carnival..."

I turned my head and glanced at Miss Bai and said, "There is no three-person room, just a genius glasses dog. Big bed room."

Ji Bao turned his head, winking and smiling.

In the end, she struggled for a long time and chose the industrial-style courtyard.

In the elevator, Ji Bao stretched out his hand to put my shoulder, and smiled wickedly: "Banyan, why did you think you want a three-person room?"

Without a triple room, the plan fell through.I was thinking about countermeasures when I heard her and gave her a blank look: "Aren't you afraid?"

Ji Bao's complexion changed immediately, and he bit back: "Can you not mention it and say it's a nightmare? I wasn't afraid at first, it's all your fault."

Go back to your room, take a shower and rest.Luckily our suitcase was in the pickup, otherwise we wouldn't even have a change of clothes.I was holding Miss Bai's mobile phone and was studying dinner.Ji Bao knocked on the door and said that he was starving to death.

The location of the hotel is very good, one street away from Wuhou Temple, and very close to Jinli.We chose the hotpot restaurant known as the name card of Chengdu cuisine on Dianping. It is called Bashulang Hotpot Restaurant.

The boss probably wanted to decorate to give an antique effect.Square tables and wooden stools, gray floors and blue brick walls.On the wall, there are begonia cross windows, octagonal wooden windows, brick-frame flower windows...on the top there are bucket arches, architraves, beams and columns, as well as Chinese and Western lanterns.Going up to the second floor on the steps, one side is pressed against the stone railing, and three little monsters are squatting on the lotus seat on the top of the general's column.

I thought to myself: This is to paste the trademarks of BMW, Mercedes-Benz, Ferrari, Gucci, Dior, and Burberry on the tractor.

It's past meal time, but there are still many people.

As soon as we were seated, Ji Bao picked up the menu and started reporting: "Mandarin Duck Pot, Spicy Three Kingdoms, Eyebrow Dance, Twisted Bark Beef, Glacier Goose Intestine, Super Fish, Beauty Smile, Tongque Terrace with Crispy Throat... Come on, take a look."

"What did you order?" I took a glance and found that she ordered all the dishes with strange names on the menu.I handed the menu to Miss Bai, and she added a vegetable platter.

Ji Bao waited anxiously, waiting anxiously, and vented his anger with the flyer under the tableware: "Bashu man? Mixed blood, Ba people are Ba people, and Shu people are Shu people. It's terrible to be uneducated..."

I smiled and said, "Not bad, quite cultured."

Ji Bao raised his chin triumphantly: "Of course, Pakistan is in the area of ​​Chongqing, and Shu is in the area of ​​Sichuan."

She spoke in general terms, but not badly.The territory of Pakistan is mainly in Chongqing, eastern Sichuan, and western Hubei.The territory of ancient Shu radiated around the Chengdu Plain and migrated along the Minjiang River.

Shu Zuo Ba You are neighbors to each other.The feud between the two families has caused countless attacks.There is no written language in Bashu, and the history is hard to find, which is particularly mysterious.However, both enemies have paid tribute to the Shang Dynasty, both participated in King Wu's conquest of Zhou, and both were once so powerful that they entered the Central Plains north, and both died in the Great Qin Dynasty...

"It's finally here!" Ji Bao exclaimed suddenly.

The buttery red pot is filled with sharp red peppers and round prickly ash. The spicy taste penetrates from the eyes to the mouth amidst the flames of oil.

Well, everyone still loves spicy food.

Eating is the biggest thing in the world. After we have gone through hardships, we are exhausted after a lot of driving, and all of us are hungry.Hold the chopsticks to rinse the dishes, dip the sauce in the mouth, and strictly observe the etiquette of not talking when eating.

I ate fast, put down my chopsticks first, and said with emotion: "If you have enough wine and food, life is enough."

Ji Bao took time out of his busy schedule to raise his head: "Eat some more, people with disabilities need to supplement their nutrition. Look at your paws, they look like a one-armed fairy."

I boiled a piece of beef tongue for her: "Ji Bao, look at you, you are skinny. Eat more and grow faster, and strive to be slaughtered as soon as possible."

Ji Bao chewed his ox tongue, but didn't react for a while.

Miss Bai tilted her head and glanced at me with a smile in her eyes.

I smiled and asked, "Do you eat goose intestines? I'll boil them for you."

Seeing Miss Bai nodding, I stretched out my chopsticks and picked one up.Seeing this, Ji Bao sneered and said, "Why, I'm going to feed it and sell it."

"The ancestor of the goose is the wild goose, so the goose is called Shu Yan." The soup boiled, and the goose intestines gradually curled up. I laughed, "The goose was very important in the hearts of the ancients."

I picked up the goose intestines and put them on Miss Bai's porcelain plate: "Na Cai welcomes the bride, and holds the goose as the engagement."

"Cough!" Ji Bao covered his mouth with a piece of paper, his face flushed red with coughing, and it took him a long time to catch his breath, "cough cough...cough cough...well, let's show off! Cough...cough cough!"

I picked up the Sprite and refilled her drinks: "Why are you laughing, extreme joy begets sorrow."
