love like drunk

Gu Wenxi was almost lying on the ground, looking at the chassis of the car for a long time, but couldn't find a place to put the jack.Two children who looked like middle school students passed by and cast curious eyes on him.

He stood up helplessly. If it wasn't for the puncture of the front tire of the car and the emergency call, he didn't want to appear in front of others with such an unsightly posture.

After driving for almost a day, Gu Wenxi came to Pingliang Village for the first time.

He learned about this rural village from a strange blogger on Weibo. It is said that it is a place with different charms in four seasons, but ordinary tourists are used to visiting in spring and summer, ignoring its unique autumn and winter. scene.

Gu Wenxi, who loves to travel, wanted to find out for a long time. This time, he was disturbed by all kinds of troubles, which made him want to leave home. He didn't even ask his father for instructions, and went on the road alone.

Traveling all the way, I finally reached the border of the village before the sun set: the yellow and green terraced fields, the village houses with black tiles and white walls, and the mountain outline as pale as ink marks in the distance...Everywhere you look, it is peaceful.The only miscalculation was that the SUV he was driving was rarely used and hadn't been maintained for a long time. He didn't know if there was any problem. After entering the village, he just turned a corner when the body suddenly tilted forward to the left.

Changing a spare tire is not necessarily a tricky thing for an old driver, but Young Master Gu has a good daily life, and he can easily find someone to do it for him if he needs anything. He has never done this kind of work before. Didn't understand the point of it either.

Now is the off-season for tourism, there are no other cars on the road, and it is not easy for people to appear.After the middle school students left, Gu Wenxi had given up self-reliance, leaned on the car, and made phone calls leisurely. He did not believe that rescue calls could always be ignored.

No one really paid attention to him.

Ten minutes later, an old man about 70 to [-] years old came along the village road.When the old man passed by, he stared at Gu Wenxi and the car beside him, muttering non-stop.

Gu Wenxi didn't know why, but in case someone wanted to help him, she asked politely, "Abo, what did you say?"

The old man began to gesticulate desperately, pointing to the tire for a while, pointing to the direction of the village for a while, muttering in his mouth, but he couldn't make clear syllables.

Gu Wenxi realized that he might not be able to speak, but he kept pointing at the village, did it mean that someone could help?He ignited some hope, and asked guessingly: "Do you mean that there is a car repair place here?"

The old man nodded first, then shook his head immediately, and the movements of his hands became more confused, Gu Wenxi didn't understand at all: "Abbot, thank you for your concern, but I really don't understand what you mean, I'd better figure it out by myself, don't worry. "

The old man stopped, hesitated, and continued to walk forward. After walking a few steps, he glanced back.

Gu Wenxi successfully made a call for rescue, but the human customer service told him that it might take another hour or two to arrive at this location.

Young Master Gu looked up at the sky, it might have been dark for an hour or two, he said nonchalantly, "You guys might as well come back tomorrow morning." Then he quickly hung up the call.

This time I can only rely on myself... As he thought so, just as he turned his side, the old man's figure appeared in his field of vision again, not far from the fork in the road, with a young man beside him.

After the two came over, the old man once again greeted Gu Wenxi with hand gestures, and then made gestures with the young man for a while.That person seemed to be able to understand it, he kept nodding, and finally said: "I see, Sheng Bo, you go back first, I'll take a look."

After the words fell, the old man who couldn't speak waved his hand and turned away.The strange man turned his gaze to Gu Wenxi: "Is it a flat tire?"

He looked to be in his twenties, with double-standard peach blossom eyes and slightly raised slender eyebrows. He had a deceptive appearance, but his expression was very cold.Gu Wenxi stared blankly at his face for a few seconds: "Yes."

"Give me the tools," he stretched out his hand, "I'll help you." The warm words came out from those two thin lips, without feeling much warmth.

Gu Wenxi handed over the jack and wrench one by one: "Thank you."

Without saying a word, the man rolled up the sleeves of his sweater, exposing his thin and fair wrists, and then squatted down, with the hems of his jeans slightly rubbing against the gravel road.

Viewed from the side, the fine bangs fell on his forehead, covering the brow on the right side. His facial contours were slightly feminine, yet indescribably delicate.

Gu Wenxi's eyes turned to the distant mountains, and then turned back to his eyes. The other party gave him a feeling similar to the looming dark color in the sky, which did not match the work he was doing.He was secretly nervous, wondering if such a person could change the wheel for him.

After thinking about it for a while, he felt that it was not good to speculate on others. He wanted to step forward to help, but he didn't know how to do it.The man has secured the car and is unloading the wheels.

"Where's the spare tire?" the man asked, looking up.

"Oh, in the back."

Gu Wenxi quickly took out the tire from the trunk and handed it to a strange man, when the bicycle bell sounded "dingling" from behind.

"Uncle Yunyan!"

The "rustling" sound of bicycle tires rubbing against the country dirt road was interrupted by sharp brakes, and the girl carrying a schoolbag stopped the car and put her feet on the ground.It was a girl about twelve or thirteen years old, probably younger than the middle school students who passed by just now.

"It's Yanyan, aren't you staying at school today?"

Gu Wenxi saw the sullen man smiling at her.

"My mother has been sick for the past two days, go back and have a look."

"Are you all right?" he asked again.

"It's nothing," the girl flipped her schoolbag back and stepped on the pedals, "Uncle Yunyan, I'm leaving first!"

"Well, say hello to your mother." The man lowered his head again and fiddled with the tools in his hand.

The roads in the country are uneven, and the ringing of bicycles overflowing due to bumps is endless.

From the girl's childish accent, Gu Wenxi caught the man's name.He learned from the information on the Internet that Pingliang Village originally only had two surnames, "Du" and "Yun", and all native villagers were without exception, unless he came from another place, he might have another surname.

Gu Wenxi was in a daze, and only reacted after being called out twice.

"Sir, it's ready."

"Thank you," he was surprised and delighted, thinking of the previous suspicion, he felt even more sorry, "shall I pay you?"

The man returned the tool to him, said "no" indifferently, and was about to walk back in suspense.

"And that—" Gu Wenxi stopped him, "Do you know how to get to this store?"

The hotel Gu Wenxi plans to stay in tonight is a homestay called "Yaning", which is located in the village and was recommended by netizens on Weibo.There are many forks in the countryside. He followed the navigation and turned a little bit. He happened to meet a local, and he should be able to find it faster if he inquired about it.

Unexpectedly, after seeing the destination sign on the phone, the man looked slightly surprised, raised his eyes and asked, "You are—that Mr. Gu?"

Three days ago, Gu Wenxi was worried that the B&B would be closed in the off-season, so she called in advance to inquire, and after getting a reply from normal operation, she booked a room by the way; she never thought that the man who repaired her car just now was the owner of the B&B.When asked about his title, the other party answered that his surname was Du.

It turned out that "Yun" was not his last name.

Gu Wenxi secretly thought about the other party's name, Du Yunyan patted the dust on his trouser legs, and then said to him, "Get in the car? I'll take you there."

"Ah, okay." So the two sat together in the SUV that had just had their tires changed.

The homestay is actually not far away, just a few minutes away.It was a small three-story building built on the mountain, with a dark gray roof and a white stone exterior wall. A platform protruded from the second floor. Except that it was taller and the windows were larger, the architectural style was the same as that of the surrounding houses. It is an open space, but lacks a striking facade, and is only separated from the village road by a low fence and a small wooden sign, so it is not easy to find.Du Yunyan asked him to park the car in the open space.

Just as Gu Wenxi got out of the car, two dogs, one yellow and one black, ran towards him, barking barking.He was quite courageous, but when he suddenly saw the big dogs surrounded by his feet, it was inevitable that he would be covered in hairs, so he simply stayed still and waited for them to finish sniffing up and down.

"Yangyang, Beibei, come here!" After Du Yunyan spoke, the two dogs finally dispersed.

This dog's name is really rustic, Gu Wenxi complained secretly, and at the same time heaved a sigh of relief, and followed.There were several trees planted in front of the building, and he saw that two of them were pomegranates, with fruits protruding from the branches and leaves, but he did not recognize the others.

Du Yunyan pushed open the glass-paneled wooden door, propped it up with one hand, and the crisp bell sound followed.Gu Wenxi, who was following behind, raised her head slightly and looked up, while the metallic wind chimes were still swinging slightly.

There are several sets of wooden tables and chairs in the hall, which should be used as a dining room. According to the standard of general homestays, this hall is quite spacious, but it is much smaller than the living room of the Gu family mansion.

Gu Wenxi handed her ID card to Du Yunyan and asked him to check in for her.He paid a three-day deposit in advance, and if he felt satisfied then he would renew it, and if he was tired of playing, he would find another place to continue shopping, anyway, it was convenient to drive out.He made up his mind, this time he won't go home if he doesn't wander outside for a month or so.

It was not five o'clock when I first entered the village. After such a toss, it was already dinner time. Gu Wenxi was not in a hurry to go upstairs, so she directly picked a table and sat down: "Boss, is there anything to eat?"

There was no other restaurant in the village, and even if there was, he didn't bother to go out to look for it. Since he lived here, it would be perfect to have three meals by the way.

He took a piece of light green cardboard from Du Yunyan's hand - a completely hand-copied menu, with some hand-painted lace around it.Gu Wenxi was instantly amazed. One was that he rarely saw handwritten menus, and the other was that the handwriting on the menu was extraordinary, which should only be written by those who practice calligraphy regularly.

However, after carefully reading the contents of the written records, he couldn't care less about admiring them.

"Your place—" Gu Wenxi looked at the boss, "Is there no meat?"

Du Yunyan's tone was still flat: "This place only serves vegetarian food from Monday to Saturday."

What kind of strange rule is this?Gu Wenxi was full of question marks, but no one mentioned it on Weibo.The key point is that he loves to eat meat, but he didn't eat well during the day on the road, so he thought about going to a place to have a big meal, all kinds of free-range poultry in the countryside, as fresh as possible.

In the end, you have to "fast"?

Although he was unhappy, no one would take care of his emotions when he was in his territory. Although Gu Wenxi was a bit of a young master, he still understood the principle of doing as the Romans do.After hesitating for a while on the menu, he ordered tomato pizza and pumpkin porridge.

Du Yunyan didn't say a word, took the list and left, and entered the door next to the bar in the lobby. Gu Wenxi guessed that the kitchen was inside.

Does he cook for himself?

Ever since he came to the B&B, he hadn't seen anyone other than the boss.Probably because it was November and there were no customers coming, it was even more uneconomical to hire workers.

Gu Wenxi continued to look at the surrounding environment, the light chestnut wooden floor was under her feet, the furniture was lighter in color, and the twilight was fading outside the floor-to-ceiling glass windows.When the food came, he was still staring outside in a daze, which was completely different from his daily environment.

"Please enjoy."

"Thank you."

The boss has always maintained a polite and distant attitude. Gu Wenxi is not because of this awkwardness, but because she feels embarrassed to let the other party treat her alone.

The pizza dough is thinner than that of ordinary western food restaurants, and the edges are a bit crispy. After a lot of tomatoes are spread, the taste is more sour.It was the first time for Gu Wenxi to serve such a vegetarian pizza, but it was better than expected.The pumpkin porridge probably has glutinous rice added, which is sticky and sweet; the temperature in the mountainous area is low in the evening, and the stomach immediately warms up after drinking the hot porridge just out of the pan.

Gu Wenxi finally didn't dislike vegetables, but she still felt that something was missing.He looked at the empty bowls and plates on the table, and asked Du Yunyan, "Is there any wine here?"
