Chapter 17
Chapter 17
Pushun Avenue is in Xida District, far away from her father’s home. Shi Yi has hardly set foot in this area since entering elementary school. I remembered the first and last time I came to Pushun East Road. It was after Jiang Cunxi was injured that year and took a leave of absence for many days. She asked her mother for the address and asked the driver to send her to visit. But she was late, and the old tube building was already empty. Without saying hello, the little girl was protecting her, and after a beating, she disappeared into the crowd.
For many years, Shi Yi would think of her occasionally when she met a little girl who was carved and carved on the road. Don’t you know that the tear on her lips will leave scars? Have you stopped being bullied and grown up well?
Fu Sitian stared at a side face outside the car window, with beautiful lips and beads. Shi Yi obviously felt that Fu Sitian’s mood sank.
Is it also a coincidence? Shi Yi’s heart moved slightly.
“It has changed a lot here, and many old houses have been demolished.” Shi Yi said.
Fu Sitian was absent-minded, and replied dullly: “Yes.”
With a heartbeat, Shi Yi asked as often as possible: “You know? Have you been here before?”
Fu Sitian just wanted to answer, the green light was on, and the car behind hurriedly honked the horn. When Shi Yi returned to his mind and drove, Fu Sitian also pulled out of his emotions.
“Is it coming soon?” Fu Sitian ascended to the window and asked, staring at the twisty lines of the navigation.
“Well, another ten minutes.”
Fu Sitian picked up the phone, as if recording: “We set off at about eight o’clock, and now at eight twenty one, the journey is almost 30 minutes.”
“Yeah.” Shi Yi rubbed the steering wheel with his thumb, and calmly looked at Fu Sitian from the sidelines.
Fu Sitian watched the road ahead, no different from usual.
Shi Yi frowned. She is not named Jiang, nor is her mother’s last name Jiang. Reason told Shi Yi that it was impossible.
Forget it. She increased the throttle a little and concentrated on driving.
Two minutes earlier than expected, Shi Yi’s car drove into the parking lot of Zhouhu Mountain Scenic Area. Because it was early and there were no cars in the parking lot, Shi Yi easily parked the car. After getting out of the car, the charging staff walked towards them leisurely.
Shi Yi opened the bag as he walked, and as soon as she took out the wallet, Fu Sitian handed a five yuan to the toll collector in one step, “I have change.”
Shi Yi was stunned. The toll collector didn’t say a word, took the money and tore the ticket to Fu Sitian, turned around and walked back.
“I also have change.” Shi Yi took out five yuan from the wallet and handed it to Fu Sitian.
Fu Sitian smiled but did not answer, and changed the subject: “Suddenly remembered, did you bring water?”
Shi Yi understood what she meant and put the money back in the wallet. “Take it, did you take it?”
“I took it too.”
The two walked towards the entrance of the scenic spot, talking with each other.
Zhouhushang is not a popular scenic spot in Shanghai, and it is not the peak season for tourism. There are no people on the road along the way. After entering the scenic spot formally, I saw a cement avenue spiraling upwards around the mountain. At the entrance, a large road sign stood prominently, which was a map of the entire scenic spot.
Shi Yi took a photo with his mobile phone, and prepared to follow the route indicated on the map to walk all the important scenic spots so that he could plan the route up the mountain at that time.
When they decided to go up, they walked the sights on the west side first, and when they came back down, they walked the sights on the east side.
But imagination is beautiful, and reality is cruel. The floor plan is different from the actual walk, especially after going up a section of the road, the cement avenue disappeared, and replaced by a stone slab paved with gravel, winding and twisting, not long after walking, Shi Yi was fainted. .
Some scenic spots can only be entered by specially walking paths. I often walked towards a certain scenic spot on the west side, halfway through, and suddenly found that they not only missed, but also walked crookedly and went straight to the scenic spot on the east side.
After several times, Shi Yi lost confidence in his sense of direction.
Fu Sitian didn’t care. While taking pictures and taking notes on his mobile phone, he comforted Shiyi: “It doesn’t matter, you have to go. If you have passed by now, it will be fine if you don’t leave. If you haven’t left, you can make up for it later.”
Shi Yiying “hmm”, but her brows were not stretched, she was still a little tangled in her heart.
Fu Sitian saw it. Next time, when Shi Yi called up the map to see the route, she also collected the notes, and went up to look at it with Shi Yi, silently matching the route on the map with the road under her feet.
After that, there are mountain trails that turn into scenic spots again, and Fu Sitian can always remind Shi Yi in time. After coming down several times, Shi Yi had a good sense of Fu Sitian’s direction, and tacitly exchanged work content with her—she took notes and Fu Sitian led the way.
Stopping all the way to see, they finally reached the top of Zhouhu Mountain at eleven o’clock. The highest point on the top of the mountain is a temple, and the next point is a large leisure and entertainment area. In the entertainment area, there are several restaurants on the left with a pipa half-hidden among the lush trees, and on the right is a vast large grass field. You can freely enter and exit the field, but you cannot barbecue. Other entertainment items need to be charged separately.
Standing on a high place outside the pasture, Fu Sitian looked at the people sliding in the pasture, with a look of novelty.
Shi Yi wanted to say, “Go in and experience it.” Fu Sitian turned his head first and asked her: “Let’s ask about the prices of a few items. If you are interested, you can come and experience it?”
Shi Yi agreed, turned and looked for the ticket booth, Fu Sitian followed her. The ticket window was hidden under a big tree not far away, and there was a stand in front of the tree with the specific fees for each item written on it.
Shi Yi wanted to come closer and take a photo. Just now, she stood before the stand, and the bushes behind the stand suddenly heard a rustling sound, and a black cat with green eyes emerged from the bushes, facing Shi Yi. Bare teeth grinned: “Meow ”
Shi Yi was shocked, and after a few steps back, he almost stepped on Fu Sitian.
Fu Sitian didn’t realize what had happened, and held Shi Yi instinctively, taking a step forward and blocking Shi Yi’s body, as if he was facing an enemy.
The black cat looked at the two of them and called out again: “Meow ”
Fu Sitian: “…”
The black cat yawned, flicked its tail, and went back into the bushes.
Fu Sitian relaxed, then turned around and asked Shi Yi: “Are you afraid of cats?” His tone flashed with surprise.
“No.” Shi Yi’s voice was calm and stiff, and he emphasized: “I’m afraid of black cats.”
Aren’t you still afraid of cats? Fu Sitian looked at Shi Yi, who was expressionless now, and recalled that the little poor who was frightened and panicked facing a little cat was suddenly poked, and his smile couldn’t be hidden.
It’s so obvious! Shi Yi narrowed his eyes and locked Fu Sitian quietly with his eyes.
Fu Sitian received the signal and tried to control the muscles at the corners of his mouth, but his eyes could not hide at all. This is how Shi Yi looked angry and embarrassed.
It’s so cute.
Shi Yi’s eyes flashed with shame, he staggered his eyes, and deliberately ignored this episode, and raised his foot again to take a look at the price list.
Fu Sitian took her arm and said softly, “I’ll go take it.” She was afraid that the cat would suddenly come out again.
When Shi Yi thought of the green eyes, his hairs stood up, and his body stopped a step faster than his thoughts.
Fu Sitian laughed and couldn’t hold it down again. She was afraid that Shiyi would find out that she quickly lowered her head and walked forward quickly. After taking the price list, she deliberately went to the window to ask if there was a group purchase ticket, how many people, and the specific discount.
After that, I went to the restaurants on the left and asked if they provided barbecue venues and utensils, whether they provided ingredients, what prices did they provide, what prices did not provide ingredients, and whether they could let them see the ingredients first, etc. Fu Sitian was in the lead to explore the way. , And took the initiative to take over all the communication with the store.
After inquiring into another restaurant, Fu Sitian and Shi Yi stood by the mountain road, staring at the information on their phones to shop around.
“The first is the most expensive, but the environment is the best, overlooking the city; the second is moderately priced and sanitary, but does not provide self-contained food. The third is a bit more expensive than the second, and the sanitary environment is similar. , But you can provide the venue and utensils separately, and bring your own ingredients. The fourth is the cheapest, you can bring your own ingredients, and also comes with a self-service kitchen, but the entire dining is indoors, and the sanitary environment is relatively simple.” Fu Sitian concluded.
“Which one do you think is more suitable?” Shi Yi asked.
Fu Sitian thought for a while and replied: “The third one. One is an outdoor barbecue that is more atmospheric, and the other is that we bring so many people out. Hygiene and safety are still very important. Although the second one has a better price, I After seeing his ingredients, I don’t think they are very fresh. Or we can bring them to rest assured. What do you think?”
Shi Yi nodded: “I think the same as you.” She looked at Fu Sitian, her eyes flashed with appreciation.
She found that Fu Sitian was a very meticulous and reliable person when she started doing things seriously, and unexpectedly, generous and not afraid of life, which was very different from her usual shy appearance.
“Then if we come to Zhouhushan, we will book this one? I left their phone number, and I will call to book when I’m sure?”
Shi Yi said, “Okay.”
At about noon, the two of them walked the uphill road for nearly two hours. Although they were not tired, their feet were a little sore. Shi Yi saw that Fu Sitian’s fine hair was wet.
“Would you like to have lunch here?” Shi Yi asked suddenly. “In addition to barbecue, the third restaurant also provides regular set meals and pasta.” The most important thing is that you can rest for a while.
Fu Sitian was slightly startled, and then agreed: “Yes.” She thought Shi Yi was hungry. She regrets that she forgot to ask Shi Yi if she had breakfast in the morning.
“Let’s go then.” Shi Yi led the way.
Once again, they walked into the room with a good temperature and liberated their feet. Both of them sighed comfortably in their hearts. After flipping through the menu price list, Fu Sitian breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, it is still within the range she can bear.
Shi Yi recruited a waiter and ordered a simple barbecued pork rice and a soup. Fu Sitian only wanted the set meal, not soup.
There was laughter from the barbecue area outside the store from time to time, but the inside of the store was very quiet, with only two or three tables with customers. No need to hurry, Shi Yi half eats, half rests, eating slowly. Upon seeing this, Fu Sitian also slowed down consciously.
When he was almost finished eating, Shi Yi went to the bathroom with an excuse, turned to the front desk, and settled the bill. The cash register and their seats were separated by a glass decorative screen. When the cashier was waiting for the change, Shi Yi inadvertently turned his head and saw Fu Sitian bending down and squeezing the heel of his right shoe.
Shi Yi thoughtfully, the cashier reminded: “Hello, your change, fifteen yuan.” Shi Yi took the money and went to the bathroom.
When he returned to his seat, Fu Sitian was already wiping his mouth. Shi Yi asked, “Have you eaten?”
Fu Sitian nodded, and Shi Yi pushed the chair up, “Then shall we go?”
“Okay.” Fu Sitian got up and naturally walked to the cash register.
Shi Yi called to stop her: “I have already paid.”
Fu Sitian was taken aback, and then quickly responded: “Then I will go back and transfer it to you.”
Shi Yixiu raised her eyebrows lightly, and said in a very ordinary tone: “Of course I have to treat the place I choose.” She opened the glass door of the restaurant and stood waiting for Fu Sitian to go out first.
Fu Sitian frowned and opened his mouth to decline. Shi Yi added calmly: “Next time, you can invite you back.”
Next time! This is a wonderful word. Obviously this indicates that her purse may be bleeding heavily, but Fu Sitian is still happy. She was persuaded, her lips raised, and she discussed with Shi Yi: “Then I owe you a meal, okay?”
Shi Yi curled his lips very shallowly, which was considered tacit approval. Fu Sitian didn’t worry about it anymore, and obediently walked out of the restaurant following the door she opened.
Shi Yi deliberately fell behind Fu Sitian a few steps, and followed behind Fu Sitian. After walking out a short distance, Shi Yi suddenly grabbed the chain strap of Fu Sitian’s shoulder bag behind him and asked, “Are your shoes a little worn?”
“Huh?” Fu Sitian’s surprised expression and unconscious movement of his right foot betrayed her answer.
Shi Yi released her hand and told: “You wait for me here.” As she said, she turned her back and walked back towards the restaurant where she had just left.
“Shi Yi…” Fu Sitian couldn’t react.
Soon, Shi Yi returned. She has great steps and walked down the path as if there was a gust of wind. The branches and leaves along the way made a slight swaying sound, as if they were amplified in this quiet afternoon, and amplified in Fu Sitian’s ears.
Can’t tell if it’s the wind or the heart.
A faint premonition rose in Fu Sitian’s heart, and his heart was beating.
Finally, Shi Yi stood still in front of her, with cold eyes and a little panting, but he said gently, “Here you are.”
She spread her hands, and a few long and narrow band-aids lay quietly in her palms.
