North to Hanchuan

After the Spring Festival, it snowed for many days in succession, and the weather did not clear up until the fifteenth day of the first lunar month intermittently.

Ji Hanchuan worked consecutive shifts for [-] days in the Chunjiang Community. The company has bathrooms but no water heaters. Ji Hanchuan himself was so busy that he didn't feel anything, but Gu Hengbei couldn't take it anymore.

"Ji Hanchuan, let me tell you, if you want to ruin your face like this again, I will..."

Ji Hanchuan looked at Gu Hengbei innocently: "What about you?"

"I'll just throw you into the water and boil you like a pig!"

Only then did Ji Hanchuan lower his head and smell himself, and belatedly realized...he stinks.

So embarrassing.

So Ji Hanchuan hurriedly summoned Li Chu and Xu Jin from home to replace him. He was dragged out of Chunjiang Community by Gu Hengbei, and then took a hot bath in Gu Hengbei's apartment, changing from head to toe. a suit of clothes.

Gu Hengbei was very satisfied with the refreshing and beautiful boy coming out of the bath, and picked Ji Hanchuan's chin with his slender fingers: "Hey, senior will take you out to play today."

Gu Hengbei had said this to Ji Hanchuan on the New Year's Day meeting, but at that time Ji Hanchuan slept all night and woke up the next day to start a company, and this plan did not come true until today.

The two went out and went straight to the most prestigious scenic spot in Kyoto, the Forbidden City.

"You haven't even been to the Forbidden City until now, it's a crime!" Gu Hengbei was heartbroken.

Ji Hanchuan clasped his fists cooperatively and lowered his head to show his shame.

The weather was very good that day, the sky was azure blue washed by snow.

After passing through the Meridian Gate and the Jinshui Bridge, Gu Hengbei took Ji Hanchuan straight to the three main halls on the central axis.

The sun shines on the majestic palace, which is golden, and the green tiles and glazed tiles are covered with chaotic fine jade and broken jade from the accumulation of sunset and snow.

Thousands of years of time in the thick and heavy dynasty, surrounded by sunshine and snow, rushing towards the face, people feel that their minds are as open as the sea for no reason, and Ji Hanchuan's hard work and exhaustion for days are swept away.

This is exactly Gu Hengbei's intention.

There were people coming and going in front of the Hall of Supreme Harmony, Gu Hengbei asked Ji Hanchuan to stand in front of the hall to take a picture of him, Ji Hanchuan was a little embarrassed, and he was not very good at posing, so he did a pair of scissors at Gu Hengbei's various requests hand.

"What are you trying to do? You look like a little girl!" Gu Hengbei came over and twisted Ji Hanchuan's face, then he handed over the camera to a tourist, and let others take a group photo for them with his arms around Ji Hanchuan's shoulders.

Ji Hanchuan leaned over to look at the photo, and smiled: "It's pretty good."

"That's it," Gu Hengbei said triumphantly, "I don't want to see whose face it is."

The two stepped into the main hall, and the floor was covered with gold bricks, dazzling people's eyes.

"Is this real gold?" Ji Hanchuan asked quietly.

Gu Hengbei raised his eyebrows: "What? If it's true, you still want to do a big gold robbery?"

Ji Hanchuan pursed his lips: "I think so."

The two looked at each other and laughed.

"I'll teach you a task." Gu Hengbei blinked, "You count how many dragons there are in the Hall of Supreme Harmony, and when the number is right, let's leave here."

When Ji Hanchuan heard this, he really started counting seriously.

The most conspicuous of course are the six giant pillars covered with powder and gold in the hall. There is a giant dragon on each pillar. The dragon chairs of the emperors enthroned in the past are in the middle of the six giant pillars with 13 three-dimensional golden dragons on them.

There is a golden dragon caisson on the golden throne, and there is also a big dragon directly above the caisson, surrounded by several small dragons.

Ji Hanchuan raised his head vigorously: "How many dragons are there? I can't see clearly."

Gu Hengbei clenched his hands into fists against his lips and suppressed a smile: "Well, you can have three chances to ask me questions. There are 16 small dragons around the big dragon."

Ji Hanchuan admired it a little: "You know all about it."

"Nonsense, I don't know if I dare to test you!"

6+13+1+16... Ji Hanchuan walked and counted while silently calculating, until he saw the screen behind the throne and was dumbfounded.

The top of the screen is densely carved with dragon patterns. The dragon head is coiled with the dragon tail, and the dragon tail is connected to the dragon head. Let alone counting, you can’t even see it. The side doors and curtains are all covered with dragon patterns!

Ji Hanchuan finally knew that he was being teased by Gu Hengbei again, and stared at him angrily and amusedly.

Gu Hengbei laughed out loud, he just likes to see Ji Hanchuan take it seriously no matter what he says, he is silly and cute, and he also trusts him immensely.

Gu Hengbei embraced Ji Hanchuan's shoulders, looked at the gleaming Kowloon throne with him, and asked him: "Look at that chair, if you were asked to go back to ancient times and be the emperor, would you do it?"

Ji Hanchuan thought for a while: "Don't do it."

"why?"

Ji Hanchuan said solemnly: "If I go to ancient times by myself to study computers, won't I starve to death?"

Gu Hengbei suddenly laughed and fell on Ji Hanchuan's shoulder, this kid is now slowly knowing how to joke.

Ji Hanchuan also asked him: "If you are allowed to be the emperor, will you do it?"

Gu Hengbei said: "I am living a more comfortable life than the emperor now, I can't think about it before I go to that business."

Ji Hanchuan smiled, indeed, Gu Hengbei's life was much smoother than that of the emperor.

Gu Hengbei asked again: "If you had to go back to ancient times to be an emperor, which emperor would you like to be?"

Ji Hanchuan thought for a while: "Qin Shihuang?"

"Be the first emperor for the king," Gu Hengbei nodded, "have ambition."

"What about you?" Ji Hanchuan asked back.

Gu Hengbei laughed again.

Ji Hanchuan didn't get an answer, so he became even more curious: "Which emperor do you want to be?"

Gu Hengbei still didn't answer.

Ji Hanchuan was not happy anymore: "Don't whet my appetite, which emperor do you want?"

Gu Hengbei walked towards the side hall with his hands behind his back: "Can I be whoever I want? Eat more food and dream less!"

"But you asked me just now!"

"I didn't say that if you answered, I would definitely answer."

"Gu Hengbei!" Ji Hanchuan was furious, "Why are you so stupid?"

Gu Hengbei hummed softly back at him.

Gu Heng Beixin said, you little fool, ask me, if I go back to be the emperor in ancient times, I can only be Emperor Ai of Han, will you be my Dong Shengqing?

Gu Hengbei thought again, how could Ji Hanchuan be the soft and kind Dong Xian, he is obviously the stunning Han Zigao.

In this way, being Emperor Chen Wen is very good. I will also meet you when you are 16 years old, and fulfill the oath that I will be the king and you will be the queen in the future. I will live in the same quilt and die in the same coffin. I will not only leave two male unicorns Sorry in the world.

The two big boys played together, and went straight to the topic wherever they went. They didn't need to take pictures everywhere, and they didn't ask about the unofficial history of the barnyard officials. Hengbei took Ji Hanchuan to dinner.

The city of Kyoto is a magical place. On this side is the Zhuwa palace wall carved with gold and jade. The tall buildings a few hundred meters away are like clouds and a sea of ​​cars. an era.

The place Gu Hengbei took Ji Hanchuan to was a courtyard house.

There is a blue-gray wall outside the courtyard, the vermilion lacquer on the gate is mottled, exposing the simple wood grain with a sense of age, the copper ring on the door is heavy, Gu Hengbei knocked on the door holding the ring, and there was a crisp sound from inside Shout: "Come on!"

The person who opened the door was a woman in her forties, wearing a bright red down jacket, dressed festively, looked festive, and smiled even more festively: "Are you here so soon?"

"Aunt Yang!" Gu Hengbei called this woman lively, leaned over and hugged her, and then pulled Ji Hanchuan over, "This is Ji Hanchuan, my good friend."

Aunt Yang's gaze was unexpected and surprised: "You said you wanted to bring someone here..."

"That's right," Gu Hengbei smiled, "Isn't she very beautiful? I didn't lie to you!"

The word "beautiful" made Ji Hanchuan blush, but he still followed Gu Hengbei and called out: "Aunt Yang."

Aunt Yang glared at Gu Hengbei reproachfully. Last night, this kid improvised to bring someone over today. Aunt Yang thought he was bringing a girlfriend when she heard such a serious tone. However, although Aunt Yang was a little disappointed, she was still very enthusiastic about Ji Hanchuan:

"Come on, boy, come in!"

When Ji Hanchuan went inside, he found that although the courtyard was large, there were not many people inside. Most of the east and west rooms were closed, and the only door that was open was sitting with an old lady resting with her eyes closed, and another one was cleaning. Hu Qin's old man, Gu Hengbei also knew the old couple, and Ji Hanchuan followed Gu Hengbei to call them "Lin Bo" and "Grandma Qiao".

Lin Bo was a little serious, and just nodded to Gu Hengbei, but Grandma Qiao opened her squinted eye:

"Beibei is here. Beibei brought his wife?"

Gu Hengbei laughed loudly: "Grandma Qiao, do you think she looks like my wife?"

Grandma Qiao opened her other eye: "You're handsome, Beibei's wife is so handsome!"

Ji Hanchuan's face was on fire.

Aunt Yang laughed and scolded: "You don't have good eyesight, so don't talk nonsense, you are ashamed of the young man, and you, Xiao Bei! Do you ever play tricks on your friends like this!"

"Look," Gu Hengbei elbowed Ji Hanchuan, "My aunt protects you the first time she sees you, she really likes you!"

Ji Hanchuan smiled slightly, he is not stupid, everyone just cares about Gu Hengbei's face, loves the house and Wu.

The lobby in the middle is open, the space inside the hall is tall, with simple painted palace lanterns hanging from the beams, and an antique long screen divides the hall into two sides, with an Eight Immortals table on each side.

There is also a high platform in front, on which there is a drum, Ji Hanchuan can probably guess that it is a stage.

"This private restaurant is very famous in Beijing. It only cooks two tables of dishes a day and is only open five days a week. Aunt Yang should have a rest today, but I was begging for nothing last night. I finally begged her to give me another meal today." table," Gu Hengbei sat down with Ji Hanchuan, and poured him a glass of water from the purple sand pot on the table, "You will know after you eat it, Aunt Yang's craftsmanship can make you bite off your tongue!"

Ji Hanchuan looked around: "Are you familiar with the people here?"

"Well," Gu Hengbei nodded, "Aunt Yang's husband used to be my grandfather's orderly. I grew up next to my grandfather when I was young, and Aunt Yang took care of me for a while."

The ingredients were all prepared early, and Aunt Yang started serving the dishes as soon as Gu Hengbei came.

Because he was Gu Hengbei's elder, Ji Hanchuan didn't dare to sit there with peace of mind, every time Aunt Yang came in, he would stand up and take the food.

"Why are you being polite, kid? You come to Auntie's place just to eat, so sit there and don't move!"

"I told you not to stand up and get back up!"

"This child has such a good appearance and such a good personality. The adults in this family are so relieved!"

Gu Hengbei knocked on the bowl in disbelief: "Auntie, is it because he looks good and has a good personality or me?"

"You two are similar in appearance, but you are not far apart in personality!"

Gu Hengbei was dissatisfied: "What's the difference?"

Aunt Yang was the one who raised Gu Hengbei from his bare buttocks, and she spoke directly and casually to Gu Hengbei: "Xiao Ji is a daffodil, and you are a garlic clove with a daffodil!"

Gu Hengbei laughed out loud, Ji Hanchuan was embarrassed by the praise, and ate in a polite manner with his eyes lowered.

Aunt Yang looked at Ji Hanchuan and sighed: "This child is so steady and obedient! He's so cute!" It's a pity that he is a young man, it would be great if he were a big girl!

After Aunt Yang went out, Gu Hengbei lay on the table and looked at Ji Hanchuan: "Fortunately, Aunt Yang doesn't have a daughter, otherwise I would have to marry her to you!"

Ji Hanchuan has been embarrassed all the way since he entered the courtyard. He was so embarrassed that he was about to die of embarrassment. He picked up a piece of sweet and sour ribs and stuffed them into Gu Hengbei's mouth:

"Such delicious food can't stop your mouth!"

Both were stunned.

The rib was picked up with Ji Hanchuan's chopsticks.

Ji Hanchuan hurriedly pushed a plate over: "You spit it out..."

Gu Hengbei smiled slowly with his ribs in his mouth, then he bit the ribs into pieces and raised his eyebrows: "Such delicious ribs cannot be wasted."

The warm winter sun poured down the room through the lintel, Gu Hengbei's face was facing the sun, and the dark pupils were full of light.

Ji Hanchuan looked at him with a dazed expression.

"Squeaky!" Lin Bo picked up his huqin, and Gu Hengbei smiled brightly: "Look at me showing you a hand!"

He shouted towards the door: "Auntie, let's go for a while!"

Aunt Yang came out of the kitchen wiping her hands, and said boldly, "Success! What are you here for?"

Gu Hengbei had already jumped onto the stage lightly, he picked up the drumstick in one hand and the allegro in the other, knocked on the door with a "dong dong dong dong", Qiao Bo's piano sound immediately followed, and Aunt Yang also cleared her throat.

"Plum blossoms are in full bloom to meet the east wind, white snow flutters and dances in the sky, spring comes early in China, and new swallows come to sing in the south..."①

As soon as Aunt Yang opened her voice, her voice was mellow and full, and she uttered words clearly. It was the authentic Luo school singing. Ji Hanchuan actually couldn't understand it, but it didn't stop him from thinking that the scene in front of him was beautiful and pleasant to listen to.

The heating was turned on in the room, and Gu Hengbei was only wearing a navy blue low-neck sweater. His skin was fair, his eyebrows and eyes were picturesque, and he stood there as tall as jade. He was obviously singing with a microphone in his hand. The idol singer of popular songs, but he is beating the drums and playing the allegro, with a beaming appearance,

Ji Hanchuan looked at him, feeling that it was discordant and funny, and there was a bit of teasing and joking in his smiling eyes.

Gu Hengbei looked at him, and said with his mouth: Why are you stupid?Hello!

Ji Hanchuan hurriedly applauded: "Okay! Aunt Yang sang really well!"

Aunt Yang sang even more happily, and the drums and music in the small courtyard of several people were very lively.

The two boys ate their bellies very well, and Ji Hanchuan was still feasting his eyes and ears. When he was leaving, Aunt Yang brought out two big red envelopes and insisted on giving them lucky money. How could Ji Hanchuan accept it? He shirked it for a long time, but it was Gu Heng. Bei helped him pick up:

"Thank you, Auntie!"

Aunt Yang was so happy that she took Ji Hanchuan's hand and said:

"In the future, if you want to come to eat, send a text message to my aunt. My aunt is usually fine on Saturdays and Sundays. Come here, my aunt is happy!"

In the afternoon, Gu Hengbei took Ji Hanchuan to Dashilan'er again.

Ji Hanchuan was confused when he heard the name of the place. When he got to the place, he saw that there were three big golden characters written on the iron fence about two stories high in front of it: Dashilan.

Ji Hanchuan looked confused: "Is this... Dashi Laner?"

Gu Hengbei raised his head and smiled: "This is Da Shi Lan'er!"

Gu Heng hit the right side and brought Ji Hanchuan to the right place.

Ji Hanchuan didn’t go back to his hometown during the Chinese New Year, and he always wanted to buy something for the elderly at home. He was stingy with himself, but he was merciless when buying things for the elderly. Ma Juyuan’s hat Neiliansheng’s shoes, Ruifuxiang’s cotton jacket Zhang Yiyuan’s tea , Gu Heng Beixin said that this child is affectionate and righteous, so filial.

Ji Hanchuan also bought gifts for Aunt Yang and Grandma Lin Boqiao, so that they could be delivered on the return trip.

"You didn't go home for Chinese New Year, so what about your brother?" Gu Hengbei accompanied Ji Hanchuan while shopping in the store, then remembered that he had another brother who came to the capital, and asked him.

Ji Hanchuan said: "My brother didn't go back either. He was training in Jicheng before, and he just came back. He went to work directly during the Chinese New Year. He was very busy."

"Where does he work?" Gu Hengbei asked casually.

"It said it was a resort hotel, but he hasn't told me the specific name yet."

Ji Hanchuan was holding a small leather hat in his hand, and suddenly turned around and put the hat on Gu Hengbei's head, and rolled his eyes with a smile.

Gu Hengbei took a look in the mirror, and was so stupid that he couldn't stand it. He took off his hat and threw himself on Ji Hanchuan's back. He lightly squeezed Ji Hanchuan's neck with his arms, and made a forceless throat-locking movement:

"You're so skinny, aren't you? Huh? My aunt keeps saying you're a good baby!"

Later, Gu Hengbei just hung on Ji Hanchuan's back like that, and he still refused to let go until Ji Hanchuan bought something and the two of them left the store.

Ji Hanchuan also let him hang around like this, and dragged him to a shop selling candied haws, bought a bunch of candied haws, and stuffed them into Gu Hengbei's mouth: "Eat it, leather doll!"

The day of the two of them was full of excitement.

They all felt that they had never been so happy before.

When night falls, the city is full of lights. This day is the Lantern Festival. Gu Hengbei has to go to his grandfather's house for a reunion dinner, but he won't let Ji Hanchuan go back to the Chunjiang community:

"Let Xu Jin and Li Chu stay there today, you are not allowed to go!" He half hugged and dragged Ji Hanchuan back to his apartment, "I will come back after dinner and bring you delicious food! You can play on your own first, you can play anything, you can sleep, you are not allowed to read books, you are not allowed to write programs, anyway, you are not allowed to do any serious business! Just give me a day of complete relaxation for 24 hours!"

Ji Hanchuan kept looking at Gu Hengbei with deep eyes, and then said with a smile, "Okay."

Ji Hanchuan didn't do anything wrong, he promised Gu Hengbei not to do business, so he really didn't do business. He first played chess with himself on the chessboard on the second floor, and then went to Gu Hengbei's study to touch it. Touch some gadgets collected by Gu Hengbei, a complete set of Doraemon limited edition woodblock prints, simulated military models, Transformers MP series... that is the treasure trove that every boy dreams of.

From childhood to adulthood, Gu Hengbei can easily own everything, and what he owns is the best.

Ji Hanchuan smiled slightly, caressing the treasures that Gu Hengbei collected, as if he could see Gu Hengbei's happy appearance when he got them.

Then Ji Hanchuan saw a small sign, made of steel, with two vertical lines of gold characters on a black background, "Guest, Ji Hanchuan".

Ji Hanchuan immediately understood what was going on.

He stared at the Xiaogang card for a long time, stretched out his finger, and touched it lightly.

Ji Hanchuan finished watching "Spring|Light Together", which he only watched a small part of last time, that night.

Then he was very sad, a hundred times sadder than after watching "Lan Yu".

At the end of the movie, neither Li Yaohui nor He Baorong died. He Baorong collapsed and cried bitterly in the dark and shabby hut holding the pillow that Li Yaohui had slept on, but it was more breathless than Chen Handong's mourning of Lan Yu alone.

Lan Yu's death cannot be changed, but Li He's ending only needs one person who is willing to turn around.

Before falling asleep that night, Ji Hanchuan had a thought floating in his mind all the time. He thought, if he were Li Yaohui, he would be willing to go back again.

In his dream, he saw Li Yaohui and He Baorong standing under the waterfall. Every drop of splashed water contained the figure of two people embracing vigorously. Under the most blazing sun in South America, it reflected the light that people could not look directly at. He heard He Baorong say, "Let's start from the beginning," and Li Yaohui said, "Okay."
