Investment Life

It took some time to change clothes, and it was already half past ten when they officially went out. The two of them didn't delay much along the way, and drove directly to the foot of Xiangshan Mountain.

It's just that there are a little more tourists visiting Xiangshan now than I expected.Wearing sunglasses, Chen Yuanming looked out of the car window and saw crowds of people on the road leading to the main entrance of Xiangshan Mountain. Although it was not comparable to the crowd tactics of later generations, as far as he could see were tourists with big bags and small bags. There is no shortage of scattered groups from other places holding the banner of tour guides.

Sensing Chen Yuanming's gaze, Xiao Junyi explained with a smile, "I didn't expect there to be so many people here? It's the Beijing Xiangshan Red Leaf Festival recently. It has been held for 7 or 8 years, and it is considered a little famous. It's this time of year to climb mountains for fun. People are full of pits and valleys, very crowded. But we don’t need to go the right way, I know there is a good climbing route at the foot of the mountain, let’s have a meal first and then climb slowly.”

It was indeed different with a local companion. The Hummer did not turn onto the main road, but drove along a trail for another ten minutes, and stopped in front of a rather remote courtyard.

"Old Yang's restaurant, it is said that the ancestor was the imperial chef of the former Qing Dynasty, and his craftsmanship is very good." Xiao Junyi smiled and got out of the car, and brought him into the room. From the outside, it looks like an ordinary residence, but the environment inside is unexpected. It is clean and elegant, and there are many single rooms and private rooms, which are no less than ordinary high-end restaurants.

"Young Master Xiao, are you bringing your friends to see the red leaves? This year, the red leaves are early, so it's a good time." The shopkeeper at the side walked up to him familiarly and greeted Xiao Junyi.

"Why did you entertain Xiao Yang, and his wife returned to her natal home?" Xiao Junyi asked jokingly.

The man called Xiao Yang was not annoyed either, hehe smiled honestly, "Isn't there a lot of people recently, and I went up to the mountain to help the cook. It's also fortunate that Young Master Xiao called early, otherwise my father might have to go up to set the table."

"It's fine if you don't leave." Xiao Junyi didn't open the vegetable counter, and waved his hand directly, "Hurry up and get some special dishes, we have to climb up later."

"Okay, Young Master Xiao, just wait!"

After this question and answer, it is not difficult to see the special features of this restaurant, maybe it is the embryonic form of private cuisine in later generations, right?Chen Yuanming looked at the lover who had acquainted with the shop owner with great interest, and after seeing this look, Xiao Junyi did not dodge, but smiled and winked at him, "How about it, young master, the place I chose is extraordinary, right?"

"It's like a dude." Chen Yuanming raised his eyebrows and gave a precise assessment.

"Chi~~" Xiao Junyi grinned, "The real stubborn is not like me, that is, there are a few good people in the circle who are proficient in eating, drinking and playing. After playing with them a few times, I gradually recognized it. It's a pity that I have been so busy in the past two years that I can hardly keep up with the trend."

Chen Yuanming shook his head, "Actually, you don't have to fight like this..."

"How can I catch up with you if I don't fight hard?" This question was answered crisply, like a declaration of challenge, but also like sweet words of love. Coupled with Xiao Junyi's overly bright eyes, it makes people's heart beat even more.

Chen Yuanming raised his teacup and took a sip, then stepped on the sneakers that were rubbing against his calf, "Young Master Xiao's name is really right, no wonder he always gets what he wants."

Xiao Junyi gritted his teeth in pain, retracted his dishonest feet, smiled and refilled Chen Yuanming's cup, "Thank you, Mr. Chen, for your love~"

Chen Yuanming has always been as solid as a piece of wood in front of outsiders, and he is very satisfied to hear such love words.

The food was served quickly, and the taste was really wonderful. After finishing their lunch, the two climbed up the mountain road.This side is not a repaired serious concrete staircase, but a forest path stepped by tourists. Although there are no elegant and spectacular temples and temples, the scenery on the roadside is not inferior to the scenery on the right way.

It has officially entered November, and the autumn is no longer vicious, only the warmth that seems to be left.Under the mild sunlight, the trees in the mountains also looked more vigorous and upright.The canopies have been set up one after another, and the red leaves show distinct layers of ribbons, some of which are as bright as morning glow and red as if blood clots, and some are pink and lovely light red, just like a tree of cherry blossoms.There are also golden ginkgoes, emerald green pines and cypresses, facing the endless blue sky, just like falling into a thick and colorful picture scroll.

The dirt road is not easy to walk, not only winding and rugged, but also very steep in many sections, but the two of them had a great time climbing, sweating on their foreheads after a while, but no one said to stop, so they went quietly and quickly Climb to the top of the mountain.From time to time, a tourist cable car passed overhead, swayed by the mountain wind, and occasionally there were a few vague screams and laughter, like an invisible barrier separating them from the mortal world.

The highest peak of Xiangshan Mountain is about 500 meters above sea level. Normally, it takes at least 4 to 50 minutes to climb to the top of the mountain. However, it took only half an hour for the two of them to stand at the highest point of the mountain. Since it is not the right road, there is still some distance from the peak. , but the scenery under the feet will not change at all.

Unlike standing on a tall building overlooking the street, the height of this mountain gives the entire city of Beijing a panoramic view.There is no mist, sand and dust, the air is as if washed by water, making the distant scenery more clear, the ancient palace and the modern city are intertwined, the artificial lake and the asphalt road reflect the same light, but it is too far away from the city On the skyscrapers, you will be proud of being the supreme king, but in an instant, you will become lonely and confused in the world, as if you are going to be swallowed up and melted by this vast world.

In his previous life, Chen Yuanming was not a person who liked to travel. He was too busy with work, running around day and night for his livelihood. His emotions and mentality were very depressed, and he had no interest in traveling in the mountains and rivers.It was only later that someone taught him to "taste" life, exquisite meals, beautiful scenery, lust and undercurrents under the feasting, and he was reshaped little by little by that person, becoming decent, elegant, sleek and sophisticated.

However, in the bottom of his heart, there are some things that others cannot change. What he actually loves is not the beautiful and gentle township in the south of the Yangtze River, but the majestic atmosphere that only belongs to the north.Today's knowledge and experience have allowed him to gradually understand the magnificence of this mountain and river, and it has also made him dream about this world even more.

"I just like your expression..."

A voice came from his ear, Chen Yuanming turned his head slightly, and met those smiling eyes.A little bead of sweat had already formed on Xiao Junyi's forehead, which made his hair hang down in strands. It looked a little funny, but it didn't detract from his handsomeness.Coupled with the warm eyes like autumn, people can't take their eyes off.

"...less pretentious, looks real, and comes alive."

A hand stretched out to his forehead, the sweat from the palm merged with the sweat on his forehead, and wiped them off together.

"I don't know what you've been through, boy. Anyway, wearing a mature and prudent mask, you don't feel tired. It's so refreshing and natural, how nice it is."

Chen Yuanming reached out and grabbed the palm on his forehead. The Rolex watch on his wrist seemed to be soaked in sweat, bringing out a bit of heat.

"Aren't you curious? What have I experienced..."

This is a question that Chen Yuanming has never asked anyone, and it is also a question that cannot be confessed to others about his reanimated corpse.

Xiao Junyi was taken aback for a moment, he didn't expect the other party to ask this question at this time, but he smacked his lips and shook his head with a smile, "It's a lie to say that you're not curious, but don't ask about some things, it depends on your virtue , just knew it wouldn't be a pleasant experience..."

Slowly withdrew his finger on the opponent's forehead, Xiao Junyi held Chen Yuanming's slightly sweaty and hot hand with his backhand, "But when you want to talk, I will be happy to listen."

The words were very frank, and so was the attitude, but Chen Yuanming felt his heart was violently turned upside down.He's met people who can't wait to dig out all his secrets, and people who have no interest in his experience and only care about carnal desires. Such distance, and such respect.

His fingers tightened slightly, and Chen Yuanming shook them back hard.At this moment, what he felt was unprecedented fear, which made him swallow all the secrets and lock them firmly in his heart.No one knows better than him that the root of all this he has obtained is a kind of stealth that is almost cheating, a fallacy that cannot be explained by any science and philosophy.The higher he stood and the farther he looked, the more he understood this.

Perhaps it was this fear of stealing life that prompted him to desperately want to change something in order to repay this divine gift.If he squanders this opportunity, if he gives up this gift, will he be deprived of his new life again by unknown hands.Or maybe this is just the cruelest joke. When he is successful and successful, that big hand will make his life stop at the age of 32 again, and all gains will be lost.

Deep down, he had imagined this, more than once.Therefore, changing the world and doing something with what he knows and what he can do has become a necessity in his life, so that even if his life stops at the age of 32 again, at least he has not lived this life in vain, and there will be many people , Many things prove that he lived this life.And this kind of fear from the heart may be the driving force behind him.

But now, fear broke through the shackles of the mind and surfaced.At this moment, he was even afraid that this was just a wonderful dream before his death, extending one second to infinity, creating a perfect fantasy.Perhaps in the next moment, what he will face will be blood and flesh again, with no bones left.

His heart was twisted into a ball, and he found that he was afraid, afraid of losing everything he had now.

"Damn it." Xiao Junyi was taken aback, and looked at the man in front of him whose expression had changed drastically, "What's wrong with you? Don't get entangled like this!"

The fingers were already pinched by the other party, and when he realized that Chen Yuanming had no intention of opening his mouth, Xiao Junyi sighed helplessly, and stretched out his arms to wrap his arms around him, "You boy, don't get into the horns. You can take your time when you can't think of things, no Someone will force you. How old are we, time is always long..."

time is always long...

The stickiness and trembling in his palms were slowly controlled, Chen Yuanming took a deep breath, and the fragrance of flowers, fruits, and trees on this Fragrant Mountain poured into his lungs along his nasal cavity.He finally regained his composure.

The voice was steady and firm again, "Yes, we still have a long, long time."
