old city newcomer

Chapter 19

Today Gu Tong woke up early in the morning.

Excitement, and excitement. I even saved the time of waking up and staring at the ceiling for 5 minutes. I have been in this mood since last night. I woke up several times in the early morning. The sound of wild cats chasing mice can be heard.

The National Day came happily. Although there was no special festive atmosphere in the yard, the property owner hung a very eye-catching red lantern on the gate early on. Gu Tong was in a good mood when he saw red. He knew that the National Day was coming, and the day when he signed up for a group tour for the first time in his life was coming.

Today is the [-]rd, and Lu Chunze reported him a "one-day tour of the old city" on the [-]rd. There were a lot of people on the day of the National Day and the next day. Too many people get nervous.

Of course, Gu Tong will soon find out that this is not the reason at all.

Gu Tong is wearing a white Aape sweater, which is the only domestic brand sweater hanging in his closet, and his lower body is wearing Aeropostale skinny jeans, brought from home in the United States, which is Gu Tong’s favorite casual wear brand , cheap and good quality, the shoes are still wearing the pair of gray YEEZY in the high jump, only this pair of shoes can put jeans feet into the shoes.

After putting it on, he put on another NB hat. Although the sweater itself has a hat, Gu Tong still likes to wear another one.

Standing in front of the mirror and looking at it for a long time, Gu Tong gave his outfit a passing score, and went out with his mobile phone and a few imported fruit candies.

It took him nearly half an hour to convince Gu Yan not to let him pick him up, but only let him call a taxi for him, and watched helplessly as he went downstairs and sent him to the car.

The sky is beautiful, there has been smog for the past few days, and Gu Tong still has a little cough, but now the sky is blue, cloudless, the wind is not strong, and the corners of his mouth have not let go of his beautiful mood.

Qi An was squatting under the big pagoda tree at the east gate of Shinahai to smoke, and standing next to Master Xu, the two of them would ignore you if you didn't bother me, one was smoking and the other was playing with a pot, each was busy.

When Qi An finally got up after smoking his second cigarette, he saw several young tourists walking towards them.

After scanning the QR code, Master Xu raised the small red flag with stars on his hand.

"Is the delivery ready?" Qi An impatiently took the ten tickets given to him by Master Xu. This is the group he is going to bring today, a small group of ten students for "one-day tour of the old city".

"Okay, I'll send it to you when the time comes." Master Xu smiled while putting on his coat.

"No, I'll get it after work." Qi An put the ticket away, and put it in the back pocket of his big black shorts.

"Hey, you kid, I miss your old man, go and have a look." Master Xu waved the flag in his hand, and two more tourists waved to them.

"You miss my birds and dogs. When did you miss people?" Qi An glanced at him, then lit another cigarette and drank it.Afterwards, he will lead the group all day long, and it will end at [-]:[-] pm. He usually feels nothing if he has not smoked for such a long time, but this job is too boring, and he has walked countless times on the line, and the words introduced in his mouth are not necessary. It's meaningless if you just pass your brain.

He usually doesn't take this job on weekends, and when there is a lot of money during the holidays, he will help Master Xu with it for a day or two.

"I'm going to the toilet." After Qi An finished speaking, he turned his head and walked to the public toilet next to him.

Gu Tong got off the taxi and stood at the east gate, taking pictures and sending Lu Chunze WeChat messages, very busy.

-Reached?

Lu Chunze's message had already been sent in the car.

- It's here, it's the east gate.

-Did you find Mr. Xu? The one with the little red flag with yellow stars on it.

Gu Tong searched among the crowd, and saw Master Xu under the big locust tree.

- saw it!

- That's ok, have fun, send a message if you have something to do.

-good!

Gu Tong put away her phone and ran towards Xiao Hongqi.

"The last one... Okay!" Master Xu stared at Gu Tong carefully for a long time after scanning the QR code. Other tourists also stared at Gu Tong. One of the reasons was because of the beautiful blue and light brown The second reason is that he is dressed in such a foreign style, and his whole body is full of famous brands. I really don't understand why he signed up for such an affordable "one-day tour of the old city" small group to play.

There was no formation in the small group, and everyone walked together, talking and laughing.At this time, Gu Tong realized that all the reporters came together with at least two people, and he was the only one, but he didn't feel lonely, and his vision was full of things that made him feel fresh.

There are four big red lacquered pillars at the east gate, and the top of the main gate is yellow glazed tiles, which are shining golden in the sun. The tour guide can talk about these tiles for four to five minutes. He has been talking endlessly since the Southern and Northern Dynasties, and Gu Tong was dizzy. .

Fortunately, I can barely understand it, and I have to benefit from the English version of "5000 Years of China" that I am watching recently.

But he still seriously considered whether to buy a portable tour guide.

However, the voice of the tour guide is very nice, calm and magnetic, with very clear enunciation, and very standard Mandarin. Gu Tong took pictures while listening, and didn't have much time to see the tour guide.

After entering the east gate, there is a lake as far as the eye can see. It is quite long. The lake is surrounded by white jade fences. Most of the willow trees are planted beside the fence. In autumn, the willow trees are not green, but the lake is shimmering and golden, very bright. Eye.

It is also golden, much more vivid than the resplendent luxury in the hotel.

Gu Tong took a picture of the lake.

Along both sides of the lake are red-painted houses with tiled roofs, and some are bungalows. In addition to selling things, there are small restaurants. After two steps, there is a cultural attraction. There are ancient residences, temples, and small gardens. They are full of people and lively. .

Gu Tong was at the end of the line, looking left and right, not knowing what to look at.After looking at the houses on both sides, I still feel that the people around the lake are the most popular.

There is a stone table under the willow tree with a chessboard engraved on it. Two old men are playing chess attentively. There is also a bird cage next to it. The birds inside are colorful and cannot be named.

birds!

Gu Tong thought of the knowledgeable Pan Shuai.

A small vendor walked towards him, put a stack of transparent red leaf bookmarks into his hand, and stuffed two or three sets of postcards with scenery into his hand.Gu Tong didn't know why, so he stared blankly, seeing the team that kept going forward, he was restrained, and when he was in a hurry, he immediately wanted to take money out of his pocket.

The things in the hand were taken away.

The small peddler looked at the person in front of him, laughed "hehe" twice, and ran away quickly.

Gu Tongxu clasped his hands together before regaining consciousness, all the money was taken out, and he ran away, really fast.

He looked at the back of the man who quickly disappeared, and looked at the people around him.

Mom.

Hell in broad daylight?

"Follow the team." Qi An glanced at him, turned around and walked forward, Gu Tong's heartbeat hadn't stopped, and he followed behind Qi An as if he was stepping on cotton.

Only then did he carefully look at the back of the tour guide, and sighed depressingly, whose voice was so nice and familiar.

Gu Tong immediately blushed a little. He didn't know why, but he was still walking at the end of the line, but his mind was not on the scenery, and he kept staring at Qi An.

Qi An held a small flag, with no expression on his face, and spoke very fast, but he could make people keep up with him. He could tell the operation, purpose, and even the architectural style and structure of every house along the lake. When he encountered cultural attractions Sometimes I can say a long list in 5 minutes.

The group stopped at the former residence of a celebrity, Qi An dismissed the tourists, and agreed to meet at the door in 15 minutes.

After exhorting the tourists, he walked towards Gu Tong.

Gu Tong looked at him, feeling a little flustered.

What should I say, I haven't seen you for four days!

"Why are you here?" Qi An asked, without any surprise on his face, he remained calm all the time.

It was in stark contrast to Gu Tong's reaction.

"I'm not familiar with this place when I go back to China, so I just wanted to take a look." Gu Tong stared blankly at the pattern on his black short sleeves, and didn't know what to say after finishing speaking.

"Lu Chunze signed up for you." Qi An looked down at him.

Gu Tong nodded, and then was taken aback: "How do you know? Did he tell you?"

"Only he knows that I am the leader of No. [-]." Qi An took out a cigarette from his pocket, thought about it and put it back.

"The things just now are not expensive. I think they look pretty. Why don't you let me buy them?" Gu Tong randomly picked up a topic, and he would feel awkward and nervous if he didn't talk. As for why he was nervous, he couldn't figure it out. .

"It's useless for you to buy that." Qi An put his hands on the white jade fence, and Gu Tong saw that there were patterns carved on the fence, which were flowers and plants of the four seasons.

"It can be used as a bookmark." Gu Tong said.

Qi An turned and leaned on the railing to look at him: "I have a chance to take you to buy a cheaper and better one."

"There is a chance." Gu Tong nodded.

Seeing him looking down at the toes of his shoes, Qi An couldn't help laughing: "Follow me for a while, although there are not as many people today as the previous two days, it's still safe to walk by my side."

Gu Tong continued to nod, rubbing her little hands on the jeans.

Gu Tong just followed behind Qi An, helping him... holding the little red flag.

He didn't think at all that Qi An actually wanted him to help raise the flag.

scheming.

Going forward is to go through a street to the Bell and Drum Alley next to it. The entrance of this street is connected to Shinahai Park. If Qi An hadn’t introduced it, it would look like a nearby path, passing through the park / There are many small streets and alleys, all of which look similar.

This street is very interesting, it is a sloping street, and some of the shops along the street are very high, you have to step on a short step to go up.

The snack bars in the street are relatively dense, and the tourists are tired after walking all morning. The small group does not include Chinese food and dinner. They discussed it with Qi An, and settled here by themselves. An hour later, they will meet at the exit of Xiejie.

Gu Tong didn't know what to eat, he didn't know the taste of these foods, but he didn't need to worry because Qi An was by his side.

It was the first time to play with Qi An.

It was the first time I happened to go out to play with Qi An.

it's fate.

Thanks Lu Chunze.

"Eat candied haws?" Qi An asked.

"Yeah." Gu Tong looked at the candied haws with bright eyes.

Qi An bought a whole hawthorn and handed it to Gu Tong. Gu Tong happily bit off the sugar on it, and then cleaned up the sugar around the hawthorn. His mouth was all stained, and he wiped it with paper for a long time. .

"It's finished." Gu Tong handed candied gourds... gourds... hawthorn without sugar to Qi An.

Qi An looked at him.

"The hawthorn is too sour." Gu Tong said with a smile, "Let's eat it for you."

Qi An looked at the hawthorn in his hand.

Don't bring a group next time.

The author has something to say:

Give thanks.
