Three days later, Chang Qin arrived at the airport early, saw Xi Ling carrying a hiking bag from a distance, and rushed to meet him.

"Lawyer Xi, why are you alone, where is your little boyfriend?" Chang Qin looked around suspiciously.

"He..." Xi Ling thought for a while, then said casually, "He's busy with work, so he can't leave."

"What?" Chang Qin said incredulously, "You planned to travel alone from the beginning of your relationship? I was ready to be a light bulb."

Xi Ling rolled his eyes at him again, and went to change the boarding pass by himself.

Xining is the capital of Qinghai Province. It was called Xiping County and Qingtang City in ancient times, which means "tranquility in the western frontier".Xining is also a summer resort. The average temperature in summer is only 17-19°C. The climate is pleasant. Coming here from the hot north, Chang Qin just feels refreshed.

"Have you booked a hotel?" After getting off the plane, they enjoyed authentic local beef ramen at a restaurant near the airport.After paying the bill, Xi Ling asked the person opposite.

Chang Qin was stunned for a moment, rushing too quickly, he had already forgotten about the hotel reservation in advance, he blinked, looked at Xi Ling and said, "You don't even have a reservation, do you?"

Xi Ling sighed, put on his luggage and left without saying a word.

Chang Qin hurriedly wiped his mouth with a tissue and followed.

Xi Ling stopped a taxi and took Chang Qin to an ordinary hotel. Although the appearance was not luxurious, it was clean and tidy. What was more helpless was that there was only one bed in the room. When Chang Qin thought of the check-in information, the front desk The waiter looked at the two of them, and his scalp tingled for a while.

"I didn't know you would come with me, so I only booked a single room." Xi Ling explained calmly as if he had read the other party's mind.

Chang Qin hurriedly put on a smiling face, waved his hands and said, "It's okay, I can sleep on the floor."

As a result, he was dumbfounded as soon as he entered the room: this room is really an excellent example of rational use of the layout. There is a bed in the middle, one side of the bed is close to the wall, and there is only a barely passable passage leading to the bathroom on the other side. Let alone laying on the floor, the whole person may be suffocated lying on his side.

Chang Qin was stunned for a while in embarrassment, then forced a smile and said, "I'll go downstairs and ask the waiter if there are any spare rooms."

"Didn't you just ask?" Xi Ling reluctantly threw the mountain bag on the bed.

"Maybe she remembered it wrong, I'll let her look for it again." After speaking, she opened the door and ran downstairs.

After half a novel, Chang Qin pushed the door in panting, spread his hands and said, "No."

Xi Ling took out the pillow towel that he carried at all times and spread it on the pillow. He heard that he glanced at him: "It takes half an hour to ask about the room?"

"I went to the nearby hotels and asked them one by one, and they all said they were fully booked." Chang Qin sat down on the edge of the bed depressed.

"It's natural. If you don't look at what time of year it is, if you don't book a room in advance online, there won't be any vacant room for you in a radius of hundreds of miles." Xi Ling said and glanced at him again, "I know you I definitely don’t have the habit of traveling, so I brought you an extra pillow towel, the hotel is unhygienic, my skin is sensitive, and I’m prone to allergies when I sleep on a strange pillow.” He said, and spread a piece on another empty pillow.

Looking at his skillful movements, Chang Qin completely lost his focus and said dumbfounded: "So you mean, we have to share a bed tonight?"

Xi Ling gave him a sideways look, and asked back: "Otherwise?" After speaking, he looked at the aisle beside the bed, "I don't think you are fat, you can try here."

Chang Qin sighed helplessly: "It's not impossible to sleep in the same bed with a man. When we were in college, a few boys traveled together, and three or four of us shared a bed. The problem is you..." I didn't realize it until I said the words When it was wrong, he hurriedly covered his mouth and apologized, "I'm sorry, I didn't mean that."

"It's okay." Xi Ling replied nonchalantly, "I'm not interested in you anyway."

The two of them took the afternoon flight. After leaving the airport for dinner, they went to the hotel to pack up their things. After they each took a shower, it was already past nine o'clock at night. It was the first time for both of them to come to the city of Xining. Feeling full, although it was not early, the two decided to go shopping.

Xining is located in the western part of China, and the sun goes down late, so the streets are still bustling with people coming and going at this point. On the roadside stalls on Zhifang Street, the tops of the stalls are covered with dim yellow gas lamps. Put out the best fresh beef, cut it into slices and throw it into the beef offal soup that has been gurgling for a long time. It only costs 8 yuan per bowl, which is really good and cheap.Going forward is the barbecue stand. Rows of oily barbecues are placed on the shelves. Each piece of meat on the iron skewer is bigger than a walnut, which makes people salivate.The noodles here are also very famous: noodles with fried sauce, firecrackers, Shemu beef noodles, sliced ​​noodles, dry noodles.There are also countless sweets: tsampa, fried sugar cake, Tibetan milk tea, Indian milk tea, etc. Xi Ling was in high spirits and couldn't help but chanted: "Quiet strings, Yanjing Long Street, melt into the moonlight night , a leisurely and peaceful residence." Seeing Chang Qin turning his head to look at him, he explained with a smile, "This is what Tian Wen, a wise man in the Warring States Period, used to boast about himself, and it fits the scene we see now."

"I heard that Tianwen diners have thousands of diners, but there is no distinction between high and low treatment. However, he is always criticized for making friends with thieves." Chang Qin said casually.

Xi Ling showed surprise on his face: "Unexpectedly, you also have a lot of research on history."

"It's just fur." ​​Chang Qin said modestly, "But you actually know history. Four years ago, I would never have believed it."

Xi Ling looked into the distance, as if longing for something: "Zhuang Shengxiao dreams of butterflies, and I have always regarded travel as my spiritual sustenance. Unfortunately, my father has always opposed it. Since I was a child, I have been scolded for being ignorant. Choosing the law is also a compromise with him." The final compromise."

"No wonder you want to travel." Chang Qin said, "It turns out that your dream is to be a backpacker and a solo traveler. But why do you like to travel far alone? Isn't it lonely to be alone?"

Xi Ling smiled and didn't answer, instead he led Chang Qin into an alley, pointed to a small restaurant not far ahead and said, "I've checked, this restaurant is very famous for its stewed hand-cooked meat, you can still come here A bowl of Gaiwan tea made by the store itself, or authentic yogurt, but." He gave Chang Qin a meaningful look, "This is an authentic Muslim restaurant, and alcohol is not allowed."

Chang Qin: "..."

At night, Chang Qin hid under the quilt like a girl and twisted around. Xi Ling, who came out of the bathroom, saw his ridiculous appearance, and frowned, "What are you doing?"

Chang Qin replied with a bitter face: "I didn't look carefully when I packed the luggage, and mistakenly brought the pajama pants as underpants."

"On such a hot day, you wear long trousers to sleep?" Xi Ling looked at him like a monster.

"Anyway, there is an air conditioner." Chang Qin pointed to the top of his head and comforted himself, "Besides, the temperature here is not high in summer, so it should be even colder at night."

"It's up to you." Xi Ling glanced at him, lifted the quilt and climbed onto the bed. Just as he was about to close his eyes, he suddenly turned his head to look at Chang Qin and said, "You are so insecure, why don't you sleep outside, in case I sleep at night?" You can't help but get wild, and you can still escape in time."

Chang Qin couldn't help laughing, coughed a few times and said, "Go to sleep."

Turning off the lights, Chang Qin couldn't fall asleep. The air conditioner in the hotel was a three-no product. When it was turned on, it sounded like thunder. Wrapped in a pair of silly trousers, coupled with the fact that he was born with a love for the bed, he naturally suffered from insomnia. He wanted to turn over, but the bed was not big enough, and he could bump into Xi Ling beside him with a slight movement, so he had to endure it Painful, with the help of the moonlight projected from the window, I looked at the tough face lines of the people around me, thinking depressedly that this person is so good-looking, why does he prefer men?

While counting the sheep conscientiously, he comforted himself that his mind would be calm and cool, and within half an hour, he broke out in a sweat.

He had no choice but to stand up slightly, and seeing Xi Ling's breathing evenly, and his broad chest rising and falling steadily, he laid down on his original position with peace of mind, and began to carefully take off his pants.

The bed board, which is also a Sanwu product, creaked with his movements. Chang Qin rubbed a leg in the black thread, and was about to fight for the second thread, when a cold voice suddenly came from beside him: "Can you take it off?" hurry up!"

Chang Qin trembled in fright. If it wasn't for the wall blocking him, he would have rolled under the bed by now.He sneered and said, "You haven't slept yet."

"I was already asleep, but you woke me up again." Xi Ling said, turned over and turned his back to him.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry." Chang Qin apologized hastily.

"By the way, there is one more thing I forgot to remind you."

"What's the matter?" Chang Qin had quickly removed his pajama pants, leaving only two bare thighs exposed in the air.

"We may have to spend a few nights in a tent during our trip. Look at your backpack, think about your toes, and you won't go out with a tent, so there are still many opportunities for us to share the same bed in the future." After finishing speaking Glancing sideways at the other party's bare thighs, "I suggest you buy a tent early tomorrow morning, or, buy a pair of underpants."

The next day, Chang Qin got up from the bed with two dark circles under his eyes. Xi Ling planned to go to a sparsely populated place to explore alone, but Chang Qin couldn't help but followed him with a face. He could only change the appreciation of the scenery into a visit to ancient buildings. , They went to one of the eight scenic spots in Xining - Misty Rain in Beishan.

Beishan wins by oddity, Xining Beishan, also known as Tulou Mountain.Tulou Mountain Shrine was once built on Tulou Mountain, and a temple was built on the site of the shrine, which was formerly known as Beichan Temple, also known as Yongxing Temple.Beichan Temple was originally a Buddhist temple and the earliest religious building in Qinghai. It was first built in the period of Emperor Ming of the Northern Wei Dynasty (AD 106), and it has a history of more than 900 years.Later, because of the prevalence of Taoism, it became a Taoist temple.The whole building leans against Beishan Mountain, and is built from west to east along the red sandstone natural faults in the mountainside. The upper reaches are dangerous rocks, and the lower is facing deep valleys.

When you come to the foot of the mountain, the first thing you see is a large hall called Lingguan Hall.

"The Hall of Lingguan was built in the Hongwu period of the Ming Dynasty. It was destroyed by war and was rebuilt in 1915. The original mountain gate had wing rooms on the east and west sides. In the middle of the room, there was a horizontal plaque inscribed with the words 'Lingguan Hall'." Chang Qin looked at the hall. The introduction in front of the door said, "Chinese culture is extensive and profound, but it is a pity that most of it was destroyed in the flames of war." After finishing speaking, they all shook their heads regretfully.

Behind the Lingguan Hall is the Queen Mother Hall.The Queen Mother Hall is the main hall of the entire Tuguan Tower, and it is also the main place where religious activities are usually held.To the west of the Queen Mother's Hall is the God of Wealth Hall, to the east is the City God's Hall, and then up is a steep ladder, climbing up the ladder, you will be under the "Nine Caves and Eighteen Caves" of Tulou Mountain.

In the middle of Tulou Mountain, there are two open-air King Kong statues, which were originally the protruding parts of the two cliffs. They were eroded by mountains and rivers, wind and rain, and formed a peculiar landform.Later, believers carved it into two big Buddha statues based on the original shape, calling them "open-air King Kong". These two open-air King Kongs are also called Tianshen and Tianwang.From a distance, the Buddha's head, body, lower limbs and facial features are clearly outlined, majestic and rough, which is indeed a perfect combination of natural landscape and cultural landscape.Rao Chang Qin, an unbelievers like Chang Qin, couldn't help worshiping such uncanny workmanship.

They climbed up the stairs all the way to the top of Tulou Mountain. There is a Ningshou Pagoda on the top. It is a hexagonal five-story corner tower with green bricks.

The two stood side by side on the top of the mountain. At this time, the sky was just right, and the sky was cloudless, and the huge city of Xining had a panoramic view.

Looking at the beautiful scenery in front of him, Xi Ling sighed: "It is said that whenever the misty rain is misty and the clouds are lingering, the caves, pagodas and temples appear and disappear, and the Beishan Misty Rain is named after it. Just as the great poet Du Mu wrote, "Thousands of miles of warbler cries and green reflections Red, water village, mountain, country, wine flag wind. 480 temples in the Southern Dynasties, how many towers are in the mist and rain'."

"How many buildings are in the mist and rain." Chang Qin mused, "At this moment, I can finally understand the kind of solitary life you yearn for. I just need to take a look at this, and I never want to go back to living in the house all day long." It's time to scratch your head in front of the computer and think about the plan."

"Then you have to hurry up." Xi Ling glanced at him. "While you are still a little bit pretty, you can still find a rich woman to take care of you."

Chang Qin laughed dryly and stopped talking.

"People live in the world, and no one can do whatever they want." Xi Ling continued, "Just like Confucius, who once said, 'If you are good at learning, you will be an official', but you can also say 'I and Dian Ye'. When he lectured to his disciples, Asked about their respective ideals, Zeng Xi replied, "Mo Chun, the spring clothes are completed, five or six crowned, six or seven boys, bathing in Yi, dancing in the wind, singing and returning."It means that in late spring, put on spring clothes, take a bath in the Yishui River with friends, blow the wind on the dance stage, and come back singing.His teacher Confucius heard it and praised him, saying, "I agree with Zeng's point of view."But Confucius himself was a contradictory person. He wanted to return to the land and be an official. "

"All scholar-officials want to be an official. If I don't study architecture, maybe I will become an official." Chang Qin said.

When Xi Ling heard about it, he casually imagined the strange appearance of the designer Chang as an official leader—in his mind, he would always associate officials with a big belly—he shuddered, and quickly withdrew his thoughts and asked Said: "Then why don't you become an official?"

"Do you know why Mr. Liang Sicheng studied architecture?" Chang Qin asked without answering.

"why?"

"Of course it is for his wife, Lin Huiyin." Chang Qin said, "Mr. Liang was famous in the architectural field back then. A reporter once asked him why he chose to study architecture after graduating from Tsinghua University. Mr. Liang replied, because Lin Huiyin was so famous. Sentence 'I want to study architecture'."

"But by accident, Lin Huiyin entered the Academy of Fine Arts." Xi Ling said with a smile, looking at Chang Qin, "Then what is Director Chang doing for? Is it also for the 'Lin Huiyin' in your heart?"

Chang Qin smiled and shook his head bitterly: "I have never had anything to show off about feelings."

"why?"

"I do it for my mother. My mother's dream when she was young was to be a designer, but she married my father and went to another country for him, but in the end she failed to realize her dream of becoming a designer."

Xi Ling nodded after hearing this: "Your mother is indeed as infatuated as Mr. Liang back then, but you should reflect on it."

"Reflect on what?" The latter looked at him puzzled.

"Half-hearted, half-hearted, liking the new and loathing the old." Xi Ling gave him a meaningful look.
