Chapter 714: Returning Late From the Courtyard

Half an hour is not a long time, and it will pass quickly if you are devoted to something.

Wang Yan and Xu Hongdou rode the trotting horse leisurely and took a few photos, and the time passed. After riding on the horse for half an hour and taking enough photos, Xu Hongdou naturally didn't want to ride a horse anymore. Apart from the feeling of wandering in nature when riding between mountains and grasslands, she didn't find the fun of riding a horse. After all, that feeling was just a burst of freshness and could not last long.

After getting off the horse at the location of the wooden house, Wang Yan hugged his arms and waited patiently for Xu Hongdou to take off the protective gear.

Just at this time, a man walked out of the other door of the wooden house and was slightly stunned when he saw the guests. This was not because of anything else, but because someone suddenly appeared. He was not prepared and was a little frightened, but it was just a moment and passed quickly. However, his eyes stayed on Xu Hongdou for a little longer. This is of course normal. Men like to look at beautiful women.

This is of course the saintly male protagonist of this drama, Xie Zhiyao. He asked, "Are you tourists here?"

Wang Yan smiled and nodded: "I stopped and walked and saw the horse farm. It looked good, so I came to experience it and take some photos."

"I am the owner of this horse farm. Do you have any suggestions on price, service and other aspects? Tell us and we will definitely absorb and improve."

"Not bad, everything is good."

Xu Hongdou stood up, lifted her hair, stamped her feet, smiled politely at Xie Zhiyao, and turned to Wang Yan: "Okay, let's go. It's almost dark, and it's time to have dinner. Do you remember the way?"

Wang Yan nodded and waved to Xie Zhiyao: "Let's go, boss, goodbye."

"Goodbye. Come back when you have time, and I'll give you a discount."

Wang Yan and Xu Hongdou waved to Xie Zhiyao, and left the horse farm, still walking slowly towards the north.

"If we walk back at this speed, it will be past seven, right?"

"About the same."

"Is the restaurant still open? We won't be hungry tonight, will we?"

"How is that possible? Even if the restaurant is not open, we won't be hungry. I see there are vegetables and frozen foods in the refrigerator of the B&B. We can borrow them temporarily and return them tomorrow. There is no problem. And Xie Xiaochun, we can have a meal with her. Besides, I have instant noodles, self-heating rice, cooked food and so on in my car. If it doesn't work, we can also drive to the ancient city. There are many restaurants there, so we won't be hungry, don't worry."

"Today's exercise volume is more than my past week combined. Now, I am tired, hungry and sleepy. I don't want to think about anything. I just want to lie in bed and sleep until I wake up naturally."

Xu Hongdou stretched out her arms lazily and moved her neck. She felt a kind of enjoyment after being tired. She could feel that after this night, she would be in good spirits tomorrow, better than ever before.

Seeing Wang Yan walking with his hands behind his back like an old man, she asked, "Hey, from what you said just now, can you cook?"

"It's a pity to travel around without knowing how to cook. Although I rarely camp outside, I always find hotels and eat in restaurants in cities and towns, but there are always a few times when I have to cook for myself. It's not pleasant to have instant noodles one meal and self-heated rice the next."

"What can you cook?"

"That's too many. After all, I've been to many places and I know a little bit of every cuisine. I'll cook a table of food some other day when I have time. You'll know when you try it."

"It's settled." Xu Hongdou asked, "Then you will be tomorrow What are your plans?"

"What about you?"

"I guess I'll be sore these two days and won't be able to go anywhere."

Wang Yan smiled: "What's the big deal? Take a rest tomorrow morning, eat eight bowls at noon and go to the city to have a look, and wash the car by the way. There are many snacks in the city, and you can eat until the evening. You can't walk as far as today, and you can rest at any time. Do you want to go?"

"Of course I'll go. I don't want to stay in the B&B when I go out to play. It's boring. I guess it's not fun to go out to eat by yourself, right?"

"Thank you for your company."

Xu Hongdou also smiled. After a day of contact, he had a very good impression of Wang Yan. He is humorous and knows a lot. Perhaps because he has been wandering around the world, he has a free and unrestrained temperament and it is very natural to get along with him.

She sighed, "Ask a question?"

"Yes."

"How did you get through all the way?"

Wang Yan raised his eyebrows with a smile. It was dark and his heart was calm. Especially at this moment, walking in the wilderness where night was about to fall and everything was silent, he couldn't help but want to talk about some further topics. Of course, this further is not the further development of the relationship between men and women, but refers to the deeper exploration and understanding of interpersonal communication.

He said: "Most of the time I am alone. Occasionally, there will be some people I meet on the road. After walking together for a while, eating, drinking and having fun, we will break up somewhere and never see each other again. There are always many farewells."

"Never see each other again?"

"We are all passers-by, all passers-by, of course we will never see each other again."

"Then don't you add contact information?"

"Will you contact each other if you add contact information? You should understand this. It's okay. Look at your contacts. How many people are talking. I always contacted each other enthusiastically when I first separated. Later, they returned to their lives, and I continued to face the new journey. Gradually, I stopped contacting each other. It's normal."

Wang Yan waved his hand: "We are just playing happily, it is not suitable to talk about this topic. It is night time, and what I said is a bit sad. You will be thinking about it when you lie in bed at night."

"How did you adapt to it before?"

"Just let it go. I have experienced a lot and I don't feel anything. Read more chicken soup articles, which explain these things very clearly. No one can stay with you forever, but there will always be someone by your side. That's about it."

Wang Yan strolled around carelessly. In Xu Hongdou's eyes, he thought, 'He is so free and easy, and has a lot of stories...', "He is not pretending to be strong..."

Other things are not to be afraid of, but this self-improvement is the most fatal. Xu Hongdou enriched Wang Yan's journey by herself. She thought about the bitterness and tears in her heart, which would make her make up an image of Wang Yan and then press it on Wang Yan. Then she will find that what she imagined is not as rich as the real Wang Yanwanyi. This man needs to be savored...

The rules of the business place in Yunmiao Village are that no noise can be made after eight o'clock. In other words, around eight o'clock, the local villagers are ready to rest. This is the normal work and rest schedule of most villagers. There is not so much entertainment, and they will not stay up late to play with their mobile phones. They wash and sleep at eight or nine o'clock, and get up at five or six o'clock the next day to eat and work.

So as expected, when Wang Yan and Xu Hongdou returned to the village, the restaurant was closed, and even if it was open, there was no food. They prepared little, and the remaining dishes were not fresh the next day, so they naturally became their dinner.

But fortunately, there was also a barbecue stall open.

Xu Hongdou looked at the few remaining skewers that had been put on in advance, and asked curiously: "Boss, there are not many people in the village at night, do you have business?"

"Are you the new tenants of the courtyard? My name is Yang Guanjun, and I am a childhood friend of the owner of the courtyard."

Yang Guanjun's appearance was still quite professional, and he deliberately put on a mask to prevent saliva splashing. He smiled kindly: "My business is not bad, all of them are children and young people, and some uncles and grandfathers occasionally buy some to go with wine. After all, it's easier here, and the price is not expensive, it's better than their own It's convenient to grill at home. I'm the only one in the village who sells barbecue. I open the stall on time after 6 o'clock every night, and I'm almost sold out at around 7 o'clock. There are only so many left today, try it? "

Seeing Xu Hongdou looking at him, Wang Yan smiled and said, "Grill them all, pack them up and take them back to the courtyard to eat."

"Okay, it's just in time for me to go home early. You are all tenants of the courtyard. I'll give you a 10% discount. Come often in the future. The total is... scan this code. "Yang Guanjun quickly prepared the charcoal fire, picked up the remaining large bunch of skewers and put them in the oven to grill. Soon, the aroma wafted up.

Without Wang Yan, Xu Hongdou scanned the code to pay and said, "Boss, let me ask, how do we make breakfast here?"

"Most people in our village make it at home. They just go to the store or the restaurant over there to buy a few steamed buns and dumplings. If you don't like it, you have to go to the city. Although it's not far, it's not worth it for a breakfast, so you should cook in the yard. You are all from big cities, and you probably don't cook much on weekdays. It's good to experience it now. I have pickles at home, and I will send some to you tomorrow morning."

"Thank you. But you don't have to go so early, as long as you have time."

Wang Yan smiled and waved his hand, then walked to the side and put the things in his hand on the table. This is the instant noodles, self-heating hot pot, plastic-sealed cooked food, beer and drinks he took from the car.

He took out two bottles of beer and handed one to Yang Guanjun: "Come, have a drink."

"Hey, look, I have some beer." Yang Guanjun took the beer with a smile, opened it and drank with Wang Yan...

It was nothing else, the main reason was that Wang Yan was a little thirsty. Besides, Yang Guanjun was so enthusiastic and wanted to send pickles, so he couldn't hold it, and it was interesting to talk about nothing.

After chatting and drinking a can of beer, Yang Guanjun also grilled the skewers. With his enthusiastic greetings, Wang Yan and Xu Hongdou returned to the windy courtyard...

"You go back and clean up first, I'll boil some water and cut the cooked food, it will be ready in more than ten minutes."

"You really don't need my help?"

"Do you need someone to help you with instant noodles? Go ahead."

Finally, they could rest. Xu Hongdou walked briskly in front, and after listening to Wang Yan's words, she went straight back to the room. Just at this moment, a woman with braided hair, big eyes, oval face, and fashionable loose clothes came out of the wing room that served as the kitchen and living room.

"Hello, I live in room 1, you can just call me Nana. Are you back after a day of fun?"

"Yes, I'm not familiar with anywhere, so I walked farther and farther. It took a lot of effort to walk back, and I didn't even have dinner. Oh, by the way, my name is Xu Hongdou, and his name is Wang Yan. I'll go back and pack up first, and I'll come down later to talk."

"Okay, go." Nana smiled and nodded. It felt good to meet for the first time.

Nana now works at Youfeng Restaurant, making coffee, milk tea, and heating instant food every day. She was originally an online anchor. Because the amount of donation she promised was too small, netizens thought that she was so rich and the clothes she wore were all luxury goods worth tens of thousands, so she should donate more, and thus cyber-bullied her. She couldn't bear it, and her mentality collapsed. She ran here to enjoy life incognito, and licked her wounds when she had nothing to do.

"Hello." Wang Yan nodded to Nana with a smile and walked towards the kitchen: "Have you eaten? If not, would you like to eat some together? I bought some barbecue, instant noodles, self-heating hot pot and cooked food."

"I've already eaten, thank you. Did you bring this yourself? That's one of the bad things about the village. It's not convenient to eat. You have to come back early in the future."

While talking, the two of them entered the wing one after another. Nana said, "Wang Yan, let me introduce to you, this is..."

"Master Ma, I know. Xiaochun introduced us when we came here, but at that time Master Ma was meditating."

Wang Yan interrupted Nana's words, looked at Ma Qiushan who was drinking tea with him with a smile, and put the things in his hands on the kitchen table.

Ma Qiushan waved his hand and said with a smile: "I dare not say that I practice Zen. I am just a wild person and I don't understand the mysteries. It is purely a personal hobby."

After saying this, Wang Yan still thought highly of him. He didn't pretend to be aloof and talk nonsense, but admitted that he was just practicing blindly.

However, Wang Yan's thoughts came to him too early and too quickly. Ma Qiushan paused for a moment and continued, "But I have been doing research for a long time, and even though it is a wild way, I still have some insights. If you have time in the future, , we can sit down and drink tea, chat and communicate. "

Hmm... that makes sense. After all, it is normal for a middle-aged man who is greasy, claims to have been successful, and has a somewhat superior mentality to brag about things.

"Of course." Wang Yan nodded with a smile, fiddled with the electric kettle, and asked, "Have you eaten, Mr. Ma? Do you want to eat some more together? There is barbecue, cooked food, and beer. We can eat while Drink and talk.”

"Thank you. I won't eat after lunch."

"learn."

With a snort, Wang Yan opened his beer and gestured to Ma Qiushan, who responded with a smile and picked up his tea cup.

After drinking, Wang Yan unpacked the cooked food and asked, "Nana, Xiaochun said our small courtyard is full. There are only four people in six houses. Where are the remaining two?"

"The person in room three is Hu Youyu. She is singing in a bar in the city and hasn't come back yet. The person in room four is Damai, Mai's Mai. She is an online writer. She is not used to the bustle, so she usually stays in the room. Codeword."

"According to what you said, she is an Internet writer who doesn't have to appear in public. She is not used to the bustle. She has been typing in her room all the time. Her work and rest must be unstable. Has she eaten? I have the crispy duck, a specialty of your province, and... If you have pig’s trotters, can you give them to her?”

"No, she will come down and eat by herself when she is hungry. But you can leave some for her and I will tell her via WeChat."

Nana and Damai are good friends. She is happy to get along with new people and is caring and tolerant to Damai. She patted her forehead: "Oh, by the way, let's add some prestige. We have a group in Youfeng Xiaoyuan, and with the two of you, we have it all."

"good."
