Fake doubles and real actors

No matter from which angle you look at it, the resort in front of you is far from the village in Gu Debai's description.

Not only that, even by the standards of resorts...it looks expensive.

Qi Ming recalled the cars he had been on this way, the road he had passed, and looked down, only to find that the road in front of him had become a very flat asphalt road, with a row of bushes beside the road.

"This road...or is it going to be built in sections?"

He remembered that not long ago, they had passed dirt roads and gravel roads, and the car that got off just now was really a broken van...

"Yes." When Gu Debai was asked here, he still wanted to laugh a little, and pulled him to rest under a pavilion by the side of the road. This pavilion looked a bit like the rain shelter next to the bus station, but it didn't have a license plate.

"Before, our village collectively paid for road repairs. At first, we wanted to repair the neighboring villages and a road leading to the county town, but in the end it was not agreed. People in other villages refused to pay. In the end, our village chief In anger, he only built the road on this side."

There is such a source.

There is a big sun above the head. Although it is not considered a midsummer, the weather in this place is particularly sunny.

Surrounded by mountains, there was no cool breeze blowing.

Qi Ming sat under the gazebo, took out his mobile phone, and simply took pictures of the scenery of these places.

Before I took a few photos, a small car drove up in the distance.

If you take a closer look, it's still the kind of sightseeing car...it can seat a lot of people, and it's very ventilated. It can be driven on a charge. The speed is not fast, but it is very convenient.

Gu Debai said that the person driving the car was called Uncle Liu. He said he was an uncle. He was wearing big yellow sunglasses with a very western style, and his hair was standing on end. He had been styled and had a three-dimensional effect. He was also wearing Hawaiian-style flowers. Shirts and flowered shorts, if it weren't for the wrinkles on the cheeks when he smiled, he wouldn't be able to tell his age.

Qi Ming followed up and called Uncle Liu in a daze, greeted him politely, followed Gu Debai into the car, and looked at the buildings with various styles, bright colors and elegant layouts along the way, feeling as if Alice had fallen into the car. rabbit hole.

It's not that he is ignorant, it's that the scenery here is really not like a village, but more like the scenery he has seen in those small towns in northern Europe. No matter which direction or angle you look at it, it is a painting.

Clean, clean and refreshing.

Even the fauna that I don't know what is seen in the distance occasionally are all in vain, like clouds falling on the ground.

"Did you grow up in a place like this?"

Qi Ming looked at it for a long time, and took a lot of photos, and then remembered to continue chatting.

"That's not counting. In fact, when I was a child, this was a real village. Later, our family made money, so we brought everyone together to renovate it."

Gu Debai didn't feel too proud,

"You can see that it is not very different from ordinary villages, except that more greening has been done, and the buildings and streets are relatively clean. I have invited several architects to help with the design, and the colors are beautiful."

In the distance, there is a bright orange roof, the walls of the house are fairy-tale red, yellow windows and doors, and there is another piece with blue roofs, rows of cool colors, and water ripples painted on the walls.

Even the trash cans are big and mushroom-shaped.

"Keep the whole environment clean and tidy, with lively colors, it's not a small project," Qi Ming was noncommittal to his light tone, feeling that Gu Debai was being modest,

"Facing such an environment every day, the whole person's state and mood will improve."

"Is it?"

Gu Debai put his shoulders on his shoulders, "Has your mood improved?"

"I... I'm not in a bad mood."

It's obviously just a casual greeting, strictly speaking, it's normal for a friend to ask like this, but the same words, coming out of Gu Debai's mouth with that just smile, add a touch of intimacy out of thin air.

Qi Ming didn't even realize that it was a feeling of intimacy, but the heat had already climbed to the tips of his ears, and his voice suddenly became quieter.

Gu Debai wants to make him happy, is it because he likes it?

"arrive."

After Uncle Liu finished driving, he parked the car for them in front of a small golden villa, glaring under the sun, "Xiaobai, you are back now, then you will be the representative of the Gu family, don't forget to go together in two days meeting."

"Okay, Uncle Liu, don't worry."

"It's done, then I'll continue to pick you up, Aunt Liu and the others to have a barbecue together."

Uncle Liu didn't talk much, before he left, he and Qi Ming waved their hands, with something in the corner of his mouth, like an unlit cigarette, he drove away coolly in his small car.

Gu Debai turned back with his luggage, and found that Qi Ming was still looking straight at the golden house, so he coughed lightly, "Then what, I didn't decide this color."

Qi Ming turned around, "Oh..."

"At the beginning, our family paid the most money and contributed the most to the village, so the village chief asked for something to commemorate it. My grandfather and the others refused to put up a sign in the village, engrave their name or something, so they said they should just make a unique color."

Qi Ming: "..."

I always feel that people who take care of their families have great ideas.

Gu Debai sighed, took his luggage together, opened the door and entered the yard. Fortunately, although his house is empty now and has moved to the city, the housekeeper here has already come to clean it in advance and is waiting.

"Master Gu, Mr. Qi, the ingredients for dinner have been prepared, and the hot water has been heated up. They are all in the room."

The housekeeper also wore sunglasses, and as soon as they entered the house, he arranged everything and put the slippers in front of them.

Qi Ming: "Don't bother and take care of me, I can do it myself."

He is really not used to the enjoyment of rich people, and he can't relax when someone is waiting for him.

Gu Debai patted his arm, and simply let the housekeeper leave first.

"It's okay. If you don't like it, I'll let him go back in two days. In fact, he's here this time, not all to take care of us, but to represent my grandfather. I'm the only one in the meeting, and the housekeeper has to follow. When the time comes Make a record and report to my grandfather."

"That's it. Then you guys are busy."

"If you're curious, you can come along too."

"Me?" Qi Ming was stunned for a moment, "That's your family's business. There is a meeting in your village, so it's not appropriate for me to go, right?"

Gu Debai couldn't wait to say that it's very suitable, very suitable, whoever we are with, if you kiss me, it's the most suitable.

He was very courageous in his heart, but he said honestly, "It's not a serious matter, just discuss about praying for rain."

"Pray for rain?"

"Yeah, you noticed, we passed several fountains, but none of them were open in summer, and there was no water in the nearby river."

Gu Debai didn't hide anything, and told everything about his return this time,

"Although there are still heavy rains in some places, it hasn't rained in my hometown for a long time. Logically speaking, it should be the rainy season. They were anxious and wanted to ask the Dragon King."

Qi Ming remembered.

This Gu Debai did mention it before, saying that he wanted rain, and worshiped the nearby gods and Buddhas. If it didn't work, he would go for artificial rainfall.

It's really grounded.

Gu Debai: "If we're lucky, maybe we can watch artificial rainfall again? Anyway, I haven't seen it yet, so it's something new to see."

Qi Ming: "Okay."

Anyway, he has prepared for many days of vacation, and this time he brought the piano, so he can work remotely whenever he feels inspired, without too much delay.

He was carrying the piano by himself, and the housekeeper had carried all the luggage upstairs. Standing in the middle of the room at this moment, he suddenly felt that he had taken advantage of it.

"Thank you for taking me to such a beautiful place to gather and relax. If you need anything these two days..."

"Don't you." Gu Debai hurriedly stopped his polite words,

"I lied to you so badly before, I should give you as much compensation as possible. I'm already very happy that you didn't kill me. I don't need anything in return from you."

"..."

It's okay if you don't mention it, but when you mention it, Qi Ming's expression becomes numb.

He also wanted to keep a gentle and calm mind. Even a few days ago, because he couldn't respond to Gu Debai's feelings, he felt a little guilty for delaying others.

However, one yard counts for one yard, and he still remembers all the scams that fooled him around.

Thanks to Gu Debai, how gullible he was at the beginning, how foolishly he cooperated, was carefully reviewed every day, and he couldn't forget it even if he wanted to.

"This matter—there is no such compensation."

Qi Ming came back to his senses, glanced at him, and then changed the topic, "It's another matter later."

Gu Debai nodded and nodded again, seeing that Qi Ming had finally returned to his previous state and was willing to take revenge on him, he couldn't help laughing.

Whether it's holding grudges or getting angry, it's much better than that polite and unfamiliar look who calculates who owes whom.

"If you feel relieved... let me eat cold coriander every day for a few days."

"You...you found out?"

"hey-hey."

"But haven't you already explained it?" Qi Ming was a little embarrassed when he noticed the little trick, and turned his eyes away from him.

"You said, it's to make me have a balanced nutrition. Don't always have all kinds of small symptoms due to lack of vitamins, worrying about my low immunity."

"An explanation is an explanation, but if you bully you, you are a bully and you should be punished."

When he was fooling people, what he said was as true as the truth, but when he was persuading him in reverse, Gu Debai was still confident.

Qi Ming: "..."

Suddenly helpless.

How could there be such a rush to receive the punishment?
