Chapter 1143 1145【On the road】
That evening, rest overnight at the hotel.
Turning around, the three of them went to Guyi Garden early to play for a while, and then continued on their way.
Originally, I planned to make a detour to Suzhou in July to enjoy the gardens, ancient towns, tiger hills, and temples there...
But when Xiang Nan said that it would take more than 50 kilometers to take a detour to Suzhou, she decisively gave up the idea.
Listening to the stories told by backpackers in the youth hostel is relaxing, comfortable and interesting. But it’s really hard to put on a backpack and walk hundreds of kilometers.
?Yesterday I only walked forty miles, and I felt like my feet were no longer my own. If you really want to go hiking, whether you take the Sichuan-Tibet Line, the Silk Road, or the Pilgrimage Road, your feet will be worn out after walking.
“Jia Ming, now I understand, what does it mean to see others struggling to carry a load, but to carry the load myself and break my shoulder?” Qi Qi complained to Xiang Nan.
Xiang Nan smiled.
?There are many things in life that are painful to watch but fun to do. Like pooping and having sex. But there are also many things that are fun to watch but painful to do, such as traveling and getting married.
Looking at the travel photos taken by others, they are so beautiful and so happy, I think it is such a wonderful thing. But think about what''s behind the photos. It''s not as beautiful as it looks, having to travel over mountains and rivers, having to travel a lot, not eating well.
In the movie, after Su Jiaming escaped from marriage in July, he left Zhenjiang and went out wandering, saying that he wanted to visit the places where Ansheng had walked. At that time, she had been working in a bank for four years and had a substantial savings, so she could play with a relaxed and happy attitude.
But when Ansheng was wandering, he was often penniless and needed to work to earn money, borrow money, and even beg to survive. Therefore, Qi Qi''s thought that she could travel happily to the ends of the world and travel everywhere with happiness was just her misunderstanding.
The real journey of poverty and wandering is not as easy and pleasant as she thought.
The reason why Xiang Nan took Qiyue and Ansheng out for a hike this time was to teach them a lesson. Lest they get hot-headed and always fantasize about poetry and distant places, but ignore the beauty around them.
…
At night, Xiang Nan and the other three came to Kunshan and set up tents in the fields.
Xiang Nan used a gas stove to cook instant noodles and added his own marinated beef.
“Here, take a bite to warm yourself up.” He said with a smile.
“It’s so delicious.” An Sheng said with a smile, “It would be great if I had more wine.”
“It’s ready.” Xiang Nan smiled and took out a bottle of Acanthopanax bark from his bag, “Here, drink some. It will promote blood circulation and qi, relax the muscles and activate the muscles and joints.”
“Su Jiaming, are you Tinker Bell?” An Sheng said with a smile.
“Jia Ming, we don’t know what we would do without you.” Qi Qiu also sighed with emotion.
Xiang Nan smiled and poured a glass for each of them, "Come on, let''s all drink a little, and then we can sleep well."
July and Ansheng both nodded.
“Wow, it’s so spicy~” Qi Qi took a bite and stuck out her tongue.
"It''s okay. Lao Maozi''s vodka is spicy, and it will make you breathe fire after drinking it." An Sheng took a sip.
…
After drinking the wine, the three of them washed the pot with mineral water, brushed their teeth, and then got into the tent to rest.
Three sleeping bags, July sleeps in the middle, Xiang Nan sleeps on the left, and Ansheng sleeps on the right.
"Good night." Xiang Nan turned off the light and closed his eyes.
"I can''t sleep, Su Jiaming, tell me a story, a ghost story." An Sheng said with a smile.
"You watched a ghost movie and you were so scared that you didn''t dare to sleep alone at night. I''m going to tell you another ghost story in the wilderness, and it won''t scare you to death." Xiang Nan said with a smile.
"I won''t be afraid as long as you are with me, just say it." An Sheng urged.
“July, do you want to hear it?” Xiang Nan asked. "Just say something that''s not too scary." Qi Qi nodded.
??This was the first time she slept in the wild in her life, and she was so excited that she couldn''t sleep.
"Then I will tell you a story about "The Ancient Temple"." Xiang Nan then lowered his voice and said, "Four good friends Zhixin, Xiaogang, Hongwei, and Wenliang were bored during the winter vacation and planned to go to a village outside the city. Mountain adventure…”
He inherited Ji Xiaolan’s talent and learning, and Ji Xiaolan’s “Notes on Yuewei Thatched Cottage” contains a large number of stories about ghosts, monsters and foxes, some of which are quite horrifying.
?In addition, he inherited Fang Yifan''s acting skills, so when telling the story, he uses ups and downs, ups and downs, and his smooth tongue can heighten the atmosphere and make it fascinating.
Coupled with the fact that they were in the wild now, it added to the atmosphere of terror, so both Qi Qi and An Sheng were trembling with fear.
"Jia Ming, stop talking, I''m scared." Qi Qi said tremblingly.
"Don''t be afraid, I''ll hold you~" Xiang Nan said with a smile, reaching out and hugging her.
Jue Qi nodded and then relaxed.
"Then what should I do?" An Sheng said, "In July, I''ll hold you in my arms."
As she said that, she also hugged Qi Qi. However, the hand was separated by Qiyue and carried on Xiang Nan''s body.
Xiang Nan noticed it, but didn''t say anything. He quietly turned sideways and let An Sheng''s hand go, "Okay, let''s go to sleep."
“Hmm.” Qi Qiu responded.
Ansheng was silent.
…
After getting up early, the three of them tidied up and continued on the road.
At night, continue to rest in the wild. In this case, three or two days.
After the initial novelty of camping in the wild dissipated, many dissatisfactions followed.
"I haven''t showered in three days. If you smell it, I''m all rotten." Qi Qiyue frowned.
"Me too, my hair is itchy." An Sheng said while scratching his scalp.
"It''s common for backpackers to go hiking in the wild without taking a shower for three days, or even for a week or half a month." Xiang Nan said, "After all, there are no such good conditions in the wild."
“Oh my God, isn’t that so dirty?” Qi Qiyue said in shock.
"Of course it''s dirty." An Sheng nodded, "Many of the backpackers who go to our hostel only take a shower every seven or eight days. When they check in, you can see mud on their fingers and lids. They check in After that, the first thing is to take a shower and wash clothes.
You don’t always come here. The people you see in the saloon are basically those who have washed up and put on clean clothes. If you see those who just came to register, you will definitely vomit. "
“Oops~” Qi Qi got goosebumps all over her body, “I will never become a backpacker from now on.”
“Okay, a little further ahead is Huaxi Village, let’s take a rest there.” Xiang Nan said with a smile.
“That’s great.” Qi Qi and An Sheng both said excitedly.
?After walking for so many days, although they passed through many towns, they only purchased supplies and did not stay in the towns, so they never got effective repairs.
?Now I can finally stay in a hotel, have a good meal, take a good shower, and have a good sleep. It’s so happy to think about it!
Xiang Nan couldn''t help but find it funny when he saw this.
Comfortable beds, delicious meals, scalding hot water...they already have these, but they don''t care about them and have always yearned for the life of a backpacker.
?Now they are fine. After suffering for a few days, they finally understand what is truly worth cherishing.
