Xiyan Ancient Town was located in Mo County to the west of Pingchuan.
It was built during the Northern Song Dynasty and had a history of a thousand years. It was the oldest town in Pingchuan.
When Li Dong and the others arrived, it was already past eleven o 'clock.
As soon as they got out of the car, everyone's eyes were attracted by the beautiful scenery in front of them.
What they saw was not an ancient town, but a landscape painting with heavy colors. The pedestrians coming and going were embellished, adding some vitality to the landscape painting.
Xiyan Ancient Town was surrounded by water on three sides. Under the sunlight, the river was golden.
"So beautiful!"
Qi Fangfang, who was usually carefree, could not help but exclaim.
The others echoed, and even Li Dong was a little immersed in it. Only Meng Qiping, who was a wet blanket, mumbled, "Beautiful? Isn't it just a few old houses?"
The next moment, a few murderous gazes were cast on Meng Qiping. Cheng Nan gritted her teeth. Could this guy not be embarrassed?
Li Dong was also sober at this moment. He asked, "Do you want to eat first or walk around first?"
"Eat!"
"Walk around!"
It was Meng Qiping and Zhang Mengmeng who said to eat, and the others who said to walk around.
Soon, the shopping group won over the eating group. Zhang Mengmeng was suppressed by Qi Fangfang, while Meng Qiping gasped and begged Cheng Nan to let go.
No one pleaded for him. He would not die if he did not court death. This guy kept courting death, and Li Dong could not be bothered to care about him.
After crossing the arch bridge outside the town, they officially entered Xiyan Ancient Town.
It was the peak season for tourism, and the 700-meter-long bluestone street was crowded with tourists.
Li Dong and the others all stayed together, and it was difficult to have fun.
In the end, they decided to split into groups. Originally, Li Dong was going to be in a group with Qin Yuhan, Meng Qiping and his wife in another group, and Zhou Haidong was going to protect Qi Fangfang and the others.
However, it turned out that the three men were in a group, and the five girls were in another group.
Li Dong and Meng Qiping looked at each other. What were the three men playing for?
Well, Li Dong didn't divide them into groups. He let the girls walk in front, and the three of them followed behind.
As they strolled along the way, everyone bought quite a few trinkets.
Li Dong and Meng Qiping were soon covered in all kinds of toys and snacks. Even Zhou Haidong was not spared.
The women in front of him were having fun, so Li Dong was too lazy to care. He asked Zhou Haidong, "Have Wang Cheng and the others settled down?"
Wang Cheng was the scout who said that he had completed hundreds of missions. This time, most of them came to Pingchuan alone.
In order to keep them, Li Dong specifically asked Zhou Haidong to rent a few houses for them so that they could bring their families over.
Zhou Haidong nodded and said softly, "They're already on duty."
Because Meng Qiping was next to him, Zhou Haidong's words were a little vague, but Li Dong understood what he meant.
Meng Qiping didn't understand what the two were talking about, but he didn't ask.
Li Dong didn't give him the cold shoulder. He asked, "Fatty, didn't you go to work for the summer? What's your job? "
"A small packaging company that specializes in making paper boxes. I help out with some miscellaneous work." Meng Qiping gave a brief introduction and said, "Old Tie and Haozi also work with me. Bai Su even helped me find this job."
Speaking of Li Tie and Bai Su, Li Dong suddenly felt a little strange and distant.
Although they hadn't left school for long, Li Dong felt that they had been gone for a long time.
Those people, those things, seemed to be gradually disappearing from his memory.
Li Dong was a little distracted. In this life, he had gained a lot, but also lost a lot.
In the beginning, the reason why he wanted to go to university was to reassure his parents. On the other hand, he wanted to relive the warm time when he was in university in his previous life.
Unfortunately, the result was different from what Li Dong had imagined. When he entered university again, he didn't have the passion and novelty from before.
"Brother Dong?"
Seeing Li Dong stopped, Meng Qiping gently pushed him.
Li Dong woke up from his contemplation. Seeing Meng Qiping and Zhou Haidong looking at him, he waved his hand and didn't say anything.
… …
"Li Dong, come here quickly!"
Hearing Qin Yuhan's shout, Li Dong hurried over and asked, "What's wrong? Are you ready to eat? "
Qin Yuhan rolled her eyes at him and said angrily, "When did you become like Meng Meng? You just had breakfast, and now you're eating again!"
Li Dong was completely speechless. What do you mean just had breakfast?
He only had a fried dough stick in the morning, and it was eaten at around eight in the morning. What time was it now? It was already past twelve!
Without arguing with her, Li Dong looked around. The place where Qin Yuhan and the others were standing was a small stall for throwing hoops. Qi Fangfang and the others were throwing hoops in high spirits.
Li Dong asked, "Do you want to catch one?"
Qin Yuhan nodded at first, then said in distress, "I've already caught more than twenty, but I didn't get any."
As she said that, she pointed to a crystal doll on the stall and said, "I want that. Li Dong, can you help me catch one?"
Of course, Li Dong wouldn't say no. He said confidently, "Don't worry, I'm good at this. I guarantee you'll get it!"
"Really!" Qin Yuhan was excited.
Li Dong was speechless. This thing was only a few yuan. It wouldn't be more than ten yuan. Was there a need to be so happy?
After spending five yuan to buy twenty bamboo hoops from the stall owner, Li Dong began.
The first bamboo hoops were thrown out. Probably because the strength wasn't adjusted well, it bounced off. There was still a long distance between it and the crystal doll.
Li Dong wasn't discouraged. He adjusted his position and threw another one out.
This time, the distance was a little closer, but it still didn't hit.
Then the third, fourth, fifth …
He threw ten hoops in a row. The closest one only hit the crystal doll, but it was still bounced off.
Qin Yuhan, who was originally cheering for Li Dong, became listless. She comforted Li Dong and said, "It's okay. The bamboo hoops are very elastic. It doesn't matter if you can't catch it."
Qi Fangfang, who had already caught a doll, sneered and said, "Don't pretend if you don't have the ability. Look at how embarrassing it is now."
Li Dong's face turned red. He was actually looked down on by a woman!
That was not all. Meng Qiping, who was helping Cheng Nan put on the hoops, also tried to persuade him, "Brother Dong, forget it. I'll help you later."
Li Dong was furious. Even the darn fatty was looking down on him. There was no justice in this world!
Even the fatty got something, but he was empty-handed … Of course, poor Zhang Mengmeng was empty-handed too. She was begging Zhou Haidong for help.
In the end, when Zhou Haidong went on stage, he got the second hoop. There were a total of ten bamboo hoops. Zhou Haidong actually got four things.
Zhang Mengmeng was so excited that she wanted to grab Zhou Haidong and kiss him a few times. However, Zhou Haidong was a man with a family. After throwing the hoops, he quickly left. Zhang Mengmeng was a little disappointed.
This time, everyone else got something. Only Li Dong was still holding a few bamboo hoops in a daze.
When it came to hoop throwing, luck was the main factor. Strength also played a part. However, Li Dong believed that his strength was not bad. Did that mean that his luck was really bad today?
Seeing Qin Yuhan looking at him pitifully, Li Dong felt that his self-esteem was hit ten thousand times!
