first love

Afraid that the house would be very "lively" before the Chinese New Year, Xie Nanqun also took Wen Lan out and walked around.

But Wen Lan has something he wants to go: "I want to see the cathedral."

This is a well-known local church and a landmark building, with a red roof and white walls, with a history of more than 130 years.The most eye-catching thing is its large dome, which can be seen clearly from a long distance.Xie Nanqun drove his own car and found a place to park it. It was afternoon and the weather was fine. The two walked from the street to the square in front of the church.

Because it is winter, there are not many tourists queuing outside the church. After a while, you can enter and visit after buying a ticket.Wen Lan thought it was a tall and rough type, but when he got closer, he realized that both the various three-dimensional decorations outside and the sculptures by the door were very delicate, no wonder it became a so-called holy place for taking pictures.

There are several groups of pigeons gathered on the left side of the church. I don’t know why they are not afraid of the cold in the snowdrift. They will occasionally fly up and fly towards the person holding the food.Many passengers will feed them kindly, so the pigeons become more and more daring.Only when children stumbled in, they would be frightened, and they would scatter away, as if they had become the background of some famous oil painting.

"In summer, many people will come here to take wedding photos. Sometimes you can see that there are all couples." Xie Nanqun laughed.

Entering the interior of the church, the first thing that greets you is the magnificence and magnificence. There are many figures vividly depicted on the top, depicting the beautiful and holy appearance of heaven, as well as some scenes about judgment.Immediately afterwards, people will notice the surrounding pillars, surrounded by many carvings, delicate and gorgeous.Passing through the pillars, you can see the stained glass on both sides, as well as the portraits of various angels and the Virgin, creating a peaceful atmosphere.

Wen Lan raised his head until his neck became sore, before he was willing to look away: "This place looks like a long time ago."

"It was repaired some time ago. This is a landmark, and the city government values ​​it very much." Xie Nanqun replied.

"it's beautiful."

Probably because they were in such a building, both of them lowered their voices. After visiting the interior, they didn't stay for too long, but walked to the square to tease the pigeons.Here, you can exchange a small bag of pigeon food with the entrance fee. Wen Lan poured some in his palm, and the pigeons rushed up and pecked clean.

Xie Nanqun took a picture next to him: "Come on, look over here, have a smile..."

Coincidentally, the bell rang slowly, and the two of them stopped what they were doing at the same time, and turned their heads to look at the top of the main entrance.After a long time, when they heard the last sound floating in the wind, they left side by side.

There is a street that is very suitable for strolling around the church. The streets are lined with exotic shops, some selling food, and some selling local handicrafts. There are many exquisite or vain ice sculptures along the street.In this season, the cold can't stop the interest of tourists at all, and the streets are still bustling with people coming and going.

The two of them didn't intend to find a place to sit down and eat in a serious way. They bought various snacks while walking.Wen Lan stayed in the popsicle shop for a long time before he made up his mind to try it, but his teeth ached from the cold.Popsicle shops are also opened in distinctive buildings. Two or three-story buildings have pointed, round, red or dark green roofs. The gardens on the upper floors are covered with iron fences covered by withered vines, covering a small garden. Half face of angel sculpture.

The names of the shops here are very strange. In addition to Chinese, there are also foreign language labels. Xie Nanqun introduced them to Wen Lanting one by one. "I just knew you could do this—" Wen Lan's focus was skewed.

Xie Nanqun grinned: "Your group brother knows a lot." He leaned closer to his ear and whispered, "Whether it's on the bed or under the bed."

Wen Lan pinched his arm.

Walking to the middle of the street, there was a group of children surrounded in front of the crimson house, making a lot of noise. It turned out that the bookstore was holding an event, and the comics were served with chocolates.Wen Lan also joined in the fun, and accidentally found a few books that he had read before, and bought them with money.Xie Nanqun peeled off the wrapping paper of the chocolate, took a bite himself, felt it was sweet, and stuffed it into the other party's mouth.

Leaving the bookstore, there was music coming from above. The two raised their heads and found that there were a few girls dancing ballroom dancing in the attic of a house on the side of the road.They were in pairs, laughing and showing off their graceful figures. Next to them was a middle-aged woman playing the organ, smiling all over her face.Xie Nanqun didn't take a look, and said to Wen Lan, "I'm not a local."

The owner of the shop selling trinkets downstairs heard their conversation: "Oh, those are foreign girls who came to perform. It's so beautiful to see them dancing on the street at night."

Gradually reaching the second half of the street, Xie Nanqun suddenly led someone into a shop selling clay sculptures, and said, "The clay figurine I gave you last time was custom-made here." Then he greeted the boss, who recognized him , walked to the back and took out a pair of painted sculptures of kissing fish, chubby and very cute.

"When did you make people..." Wen Lan was surprised.

Xie Nanqun touched his nose: "It's not too long ago, do you like it?"

"like."

Taking the packaged clay sculptures, the two of them strolled to the end of the street, and they could see a theater not far away. It was said that it would be demolished after the last stage play was performed. "Go and see?" Wen Lan suggested.

So they bought tickets, and after entering the arena, they found that there were a lot of people inside, and they finally found a seat to sit down.As soon as the female lead came on stage, Wen Lan's eyes widened. This was obviously someone he had seen before - the wisteria he met in Xiazhou.Because this show does not require exaggerated appearances, Wisteria painted a light makeup and simple clothes. Playing a fictional woman is the hero's fantasy. True love, a relationship of flesh and blood.

At the end of the performance, all the actors came out to call the curtain, and Wisteria stood in the center, still smiling brightly.Wen Lan went up to chat with her, only to realize that the other party wandered around abroad and found that she was still comfortable in China, so he chose to perform all the way from north to south, and finally returned to Xiazhou.

"Oh, I'm too tired, I'd better find a place to settle myself down." Wisteria wore long hair.

Wen Lan didn't know if the bookstore owner was still waiting for her, so he hesitated for a while before mentioning the little poem cryptically.Unexpectedly, Wisteria suddenly became interested: "Have you read it? Oh, he wrote it to me... This time I go back, just to chase him." Speaking of this, she smiled, "It's a pity that I don't know how to write Poetry, sing a song for him when the time comes, the lyrics and tune I thought of. If I have a chance, I want to marry him in the cathedral, and I will work hard.”

"I wish you all your wishes come true." Wen Lan smiled.

This is the love of others, he can only send blessings, no matter the ending is happiness or regret, whether it is reunion or separation again.

Before leaving, Wisteria gave him a silk flower, which was a prop rose: "You match your boyfriend very well." She also winked playfully.

Xie Nanqun raised his eyebrows: "Thank you."

As night fell, the two walked back to the street. From this angle, they could see the cathedral. When they stopped here, what they saw and felt was very different from what they saw during the day.Against the background of lights and night, the originally solemn and solemn church looks more noble and holy.Wen Lan couldn't help but ask, "Are foreign churches so beautiful?"

"Well, there are beautiful things everywhere." Xie Nanqun didn't hear the meaning behind his words.

Wen Lan stood on tiptoe, bit his lip, a little cold: "Where's the garden church?"

Only then did he understand what the other party meant, Xie Nanqun lowered his head: "Of course she is beautiful, even more beautiful than this."

Not far away, the sound of enthusiastic laughter and music came. It was the foreign girls on tour, each wearing exaggerated yet sexy clothes, as if they were not afraid of the cold, walking on the street in a dancing posture.
