Strive for Science

"Sir, tomorrow you..."

"Play."

Liu Mao looked at Dao Nian in amazement. He was afraid that he had heard wrong, so his voice became cautious, "You mean, you want to go out to play tomorrow?"

Dao Nian didn't speak, that's what he meant by default.

"I'll go down and make arrangements. Do you want to go to the sea in the east, the desert in the west, or the icy land in the north and south?" Liu Mao took out a handful of tokens from his pocket, ready to order the local gods to clear the field. It must not affect the interest of Mr. to play.

After so many years, it is not easy to say the word "play" from my husband's mouth.

"Mountain Spring Valley."

Where is the spring valley?Liu Mao was stunned. Is it in Shennongjia or among the five mountains?

"Brother Liu, the mountain spring valley you mentioned may be the valley tens of kilometers away." One of the twins whispered, "Did you forget that Mr. Shen made an appointment with him to go on a weekend trip together?"

Liu Mao suddenly realized and said nothing more.

Shanquan Valley is named after the clear spring in the mountain, but the locals in Wuming City are not interested in this place. Anyway, it is such a mountain and such a water, so there is nothing unusual about it.

Generally, those who come to this place are foreigners or old people who have nothing to do to climb mountains and exercise.In the past few years, the local area spent a lot of money on the development of Shanquan Valley. Unfortunately, its reputation is limited and it does not attract many tourists. The first day of the new year is the peak of its passenger flow.

Shen Changan packed food and water in his bag, and was about to go downstairs to take a taxi, when he saw Liu Mao waiting for him downstairs in his car, seeing him coming down, Liu Mao burst into a bright smile: "Mr. .”

The car window opened slowly, and Shen Chang'an saw Dao Nian's pretty face, as well as Dao Nian's lazily glanced eyes.

Seeing Dao Nian, Shen Changan trotted over, opened the car door and sat next to Dao Nian, and put his bulging backpack aside.

Dao Nian glanced at the backpack.

"There are water and food in it. The things in the scenic area are expensive and unpalatable. If we are not used to the things inside, these can be used as snacks." Shen Changan patted the backpack, and the backpack was under his palm, and said Crackling sound.

Dao Nian blinked, indicating that he understood.

"It was originally agreed that I would look for you in the past, but why did you come here first?" When Shen Changan buckled his seat belt, he found that Dao Nian was not wearing a seat belt, so he leaned forward to fasten it for him, "Last night I asked my colleagues , There is a steep road into the mountain spring valley, so you must fasten your seat belt."

"By the way, I made a sandwich this morning, would you like one?"

Liu Mao was sitting in the co-pilot, listening to Shen Changan singing a one-man show alone, he couldn't help being curious, Mr. Mingming didn't say a word, how did Shen Changan continue the topic?

In front of Mr., he didn't dare to open his divine sense, he only dared to secretly look behind.The husband did not speak, but he had already started to eat the sandwich made by Shen Changan, and he really didn't seem to be lazy at all when he was usually picky eaters.

Noticing Liu Mao's peeking eyes, Shen Changan took out a piece of cake from his backpack: "Sorry, I only made sandwiches for one person. This is the cake I made last night. Take it and try it."

"Thank you." As soon as Liu Mao reached out to take the cake, he saw the husband raised his eyelids and looked at him.

"Milk, it's hot." Shen Chang'an stuffed a bottle of hot milk into Dao Nian's hand, "I added a little sugar, the taste will be better."

Dao Nian withdrew his gaze, lowered his head and took a sip of milk silently.

After eating the sandwich and drinking the milk, he saw that Shen Changan took out a pocket out of nowhere, and put the paper bag for the sandwich and the milk bottle into it.

Ten minutes later, Shen Changan took out several packets of pistachios from his backpack.

"In the process of rushing to the destination, eating snacks and chatting is also an important part of the journey." Shen Changan distributed a bag of pistachios to Dao Nian, "Come, try it."

Dao Nian stared at a bag of shelled pistachios, his eyes full of rejection.

"Don't like this?" Seeing this, Shen Changan took out a few things from his bag, "Pick what you like and eat."

To be shelled.

To remove the skin.

Be sticky.

Dao Nian stared at these packets of snacks for a long time, and managed to pick out a bag of sweet potato fries.

"Mr. Shen, I didn't expect you to like snacks. I thought only girls would like to eat these." Liu Mao was worried that Shen Chang'an would be too embarrassed to talk to himself, so he would not play with his husband in the future, so he had to find a way to talk about it. awkward chat.

"What kind of male and female do you like to eat?" Shen Changan lowered his head and peeled the pistachio shells, "To stick to gender goes against one's nature, and is tantamount to wasting one's life."

When he was very young, there was a little girl in the neighbor's house who liked to play football. He told his mother why that little sister liked to play football just like boys.

His mother told him that everyone has the right to like something, regardless of gender.Later, in order to let him understand that football is not exclusive to boys, his mother even took him to watch a few women's football matches.

When he was young, he didn't understand why his mother said and did that, but as he got older and saw more and more things, he understood the deep meaning of what his mother did.

At least he now eats snacks with peace of mind, not afraid that it will damage his masculinity.

"Ling Ci is really an amazing woman." Liu Mao wanted to praise Shen Chang'an's mother, but Dao Nian suddenly said, "My hand hurts."

"What's wrong?" Shen Changan looked down at Dao Nian's hand, and found that his right thumb was a little red and swollen, no wonder he didn't eat snacks that needed to be peeled.

He grabbed Dao Nian's hand and took a closer look. Except for some redness and swelling, there was no sign of pus. He heaved a sigh of relief, asked the driver to stop the car, and went to a nearby pharmacy to buy ointment.

After a smear of medicine and a band-aid, Shen Changan took a closer look and was satisfied with his workmanship: "It's okay, it will be fine in the evening."

Liu Mao looked at the band-aid on Dao Nian's hand, and then at Shen Chang'an who began to peel pistachios for Dao Nian with his head down. He had a complicated expression as if he saw his 90-year-old grandfather, and suddenly said to him, He has a crush on a monkey.

"This half is yours, and this half is mine." Shen Changan divided the peeled pistachios into two halves, gave one half to Dao Nian, and ate the other half by himself, "Mountain Spring Valley is coming."

Shen Changan eats pistachios very fast, but Dao Nian can be sure that Shen Changan eats a few more pistachios than he has in his hand.

He squinted at Shen Changan, this dishonest human being!

"Look, there is fog on the mountain." Shen Chang'an grabbed Daonian's sleeve, pointed out the window and said, "The clouds and mists are shrouded in wonderland."

"Wonderland isn't so simple." Dao Nian stared at the pistachio in his palm, his lips pursed.

"Huh?" Shen Changan turned around and saw that he didn't eat, "If you don't like it, then I..."

Before he finished speaking, he saw Dao Nian in front of him, with a blank expression on his face, he started to eat, and he ate them one by one.

Shen Changan: "..."

Is this a childish ghost from kindergarten?

There is a ticket window at the gate of Shanquan Valley. Because there are no tourists, the conductor sits lazily in the ticket hall, not even knowing that a car is coming.

"Sister." Hearing someone knocking on the ticket counter outside, she looked up and saw a young boy wearing a white long-sleeved T-shirt outside, wearing rimless glasses, and a pair of smiling eyes shining brightly. People feel good when they see it.

The conductor was 50 to [-] years old, and was called "Sister" by a young and good-looking guy, and he suddenly became in a good mood. He not only gave the other party a few travel brochures, but also told him which restaurant was delicious and cheap.

Returning to the car with the travel brochure given by the ticket sales lady, Shen Changan distributed the brochure to Liu Mao and Daonian: "There is even a mountain spring bathing shop inside, shall we try it in the afternoon?"

Dao Nian was silent for a few seconds, then nodded slowly.

It may be because the mountain is relatively high. After the car drove into the mountain, the fog has not dissipated, but it has become more and more thick. Usually there are tourist buses in the scenic spot to send tourists into the mountain. Maybe because there are too few tourists, the whole road Apart from Shen Changan and his car, there were no other vehicles passing by on the highway.

Shen Changan opened the window and took a look outside, muttering in a low voice: "Has the tourism industry in Wuming City become so bleak that no one comes here even on weekends?"

"It's foggy." Dao Nian answered.

"Yes, the fog is so thick that sometimes people can't see even if they stand far away." As soon as Liu Mao finished speaking, a car drove past them. Although it wasn't too many, at least it wasn't deserted.

After a tourist bus dedicated to scenic spots also drove past, the strange feeling in Shen Changan's heart completely disappeared. He peeled off a handful of pistachios and put them all in Dao Nian's hands: "Should we be on the mountain soon?"

Dao Nian took the pistachio, and the corners of his lips, which had been tense all the time, relaxed slightly.

The car bypassed the winding mountain road, crossed another bridge, and stopped in a spacious parking area.Shen Changan saw the roof of a building faintly exposed in the thick fog. He rubbed his hands, and when he turned his head and saw Liu Mao holding a folding wheelchair in the trunk, he bent down and carried Dao Nian out of the car.

"gentlemen……"

With a bang, the folding wheelchair in Liu Mao's hand fell to the ground.Facing Shen Changan's puzzled eyes, Liu Mao smiled awkwardly and said, "Sorry, my hands are slippery."

Putting Dao Nian on the wheelchair, Shen Changan took a look at Dao Nian's slender legs, turned around and took out the blanket from the car to cover Dao Nian's legs: "It's quite cold on the mountain."

He glanced at a tourist bus parked next to them. There was a lot of muddy water on the bus. It should have been driven up when it was raining in Wuming City two or three days ago.

Thinking of this, Shen Changan pointed at the building in the thick fog, and said with a smile: "Look, does this look like an exterior scene in a horror movie? Generally, in a horror movie with a hotel as the background, the protagonist and supporting actors are trapped in the hotel When you can’t escape, it’s night outside the hotel except for dense fog.”

Liu Mao glanced at the Chinese and Western style hotel in the thick fog, and was silent.

"Hey, it seems that it is the mountain spring bathing village introduced in the travel brochure. Anyway, the fog is so heavy now, and the temperature is a bit low, why don't we go to the mountain spring bath first, and then go out to enjoy the scenery after the fog clears in the afternoon?" Shen Changan Flipping through the travel brochure, looking down at Dao Nian, "Dao Nian, what do you think?"

Dao Nian stared at the building in the fog, nodded: "Okay."
