The summer night in Manzhou was a little hot and stuffy. The hot and stuffy feeling made people feel restless. After laughing, Xing Lan and the other two quieted down. Not far ahead was an artificial lake that filled the city. The lake was very wide. There were man-made pavilions and seats on both sides. There was also a sign beside it. It should be introducing the history of the lake. Because it was dark, they could not see the words clearly. Xing Lan and the other two did not walk to the lake but sat on the grass. There were many mosquitoes in Inner Mongolia at night. Because these mosquitoes could hide in the grass during the day to avoid the sun, Xing Lan and the other two did not say anything. The silent surroundings occasionally emitted a "pa pa" sound. It was Xing Lan and the other two chasing away the mosquitoes.
"Where are we going next?"
After a moment of silence, Tian Ya was the first to break the atmosphere. His voice was very high and carried a trace of joy. However, Xing Lan knew that this joy was faked. Xing Lan did not expose Tian Ya because he knew that everyone, including himself, had some secrets that could not be said. Everyone, including himself, also had some stories that they wanted to tell but could never tell. A true friend, even if they did not speak, could know what the other party was thinking, just like Tian Ya beside him, just like himself at this moment.
"I think it's in Da Lian. Tiger Beach. I heard it's a very beautiful place.”
Xing Lan gestured as he spoke. The expression on his face seemed like he really yearned for Dalian.
"En, Dalian. What about after you go there?”
Tian Ya's mood was a little down.
Xing Lan turned around to look at him. Because of the darkness, he could not see Tian Ya's expression clearly. However, Xing Lan knew that Tian Ya was not happy now.
"Of course, we're separated. We've already been to the places we want to go. We have to think about the future. Besides, we're so inseparable now. If you develop feelings for me, wouldn't my loss be too great?”
Xing Lan replied jokingly.
"Dear, can we keep a low profile and not be so narcissistic? You have to know that the sky is dark because of your narcissism.”
Hearing Xing Lan's words, Tian Ya replied exaggeratedly.
"Haha."
After Tian Ya finished speaking, the two of them laughed again until the surroundings returned to silence.
"Let's go back. Aiyo, I'm really tired after running for a day.”
Xing Lan stood up and stretched his back, suggesting to go back to the hotel. He really did not want to be in such an atmosphere. He was worried that if this continued, he would not be able to control himself and say it. Xing Lan knew that Tian Ya was the same as him.
"Mhm, let's go back."
Tian Ya got up and patted the grass stains off his body. The two of them walked towards the city center. On the way, Tian Ya told a joke to break the awkwardness. Xing Lan forced a smile because he was so frustrated that he did not hear what Tian Ya said. In the hotel, Xing Lan washed up and lay on the bed. There was only a computer in the room. Tian Ya was chatting with a girl. The room was very quiet. There was only the sound of Tian Ya typing on the keyboard. Xing Lan could clearly see the contents of their conversation while lying on the bed. In the message box, Tian Ya's tone was soft and had a hint of sadness. It was very different from the usual Tian Ya.
"Love is really wonderful."
Xing Lan immediately covered his head as he muttered these words. He did not want to think about anything related to love.
"Time to get up."
In the early morning, Xing Lan was awakened by a loud shout. He looked up at Tian Ya, who was wiping his head with a towel and smiling evilly, then looked at his phone. It was eight o'clock.
"What are you doing? It's only eight o'clock and you're already calling me.”
Xing Lan closed his phone with sleepy eyes and immediately covered his head.
Tian Ya pulled the blanket and pushed Xing Lan." Get up quickly, get up quickly. The country gate is still very far from here. I've already asked around. There's only one bus a day. If we can't make it, we'll have to take a taxi there. At that time, it's still a problem whether the driver will go or not.”
Pushing Star Obscure Tianya explained in a serious manner.
Xing Lan was silent for a moment before sitting up and wiping his face vigorously.""Alright, let's go."
As he spoke, Xing Lan went to look for slippers.
After a while, the two of them got dressed neatly. In order not to delay time, the two of them did not eat breakfast. On the road, the two of them fought from time to time. Tian Ya returned to his usual appearance. Everything seemed to have never happened last night. After a hasty inquiry, the two of them finally did not delay the bus. The bus was not too crowded, perhaps because it was Monday today.
The car gradually drove out of the city, and its speed became faster and faster. The scenery on both sides of the road was rapidly moving backward. The sun shone on every inch of land outside the car window. The vast grassland and the crowded city formed an extremely sharp contrast. It felt as if the bus was heading to the end of the universe.
Forty minutes later, there were more cars and pedestrians. The industrial buildings and the hustle and bustle made Xing Lan know that this was not the end of the world, but more like the beginning of another noisy world. The cars gradually slowed down. In the distance, a huge white building stood quietly. The flight attendant introduced it to the people. That was the gate of Manchuria.
"Ha, I'm here at the national gate."
Tian Ya got out of the car and looked at the gate excitedly.
"Let's go and take a look."
Xing Lan took a step forward and gestured for Tian Ya to follow.
The entrance fee was 80 yuan. Xing Lan and Tian Ya did not go in directly. It was very lively outside the country gate. Xing Lan realized that the cars here came from different places. After careful comparison, Xing Lan and Tian Ya felt that there were more cars in Shandong. Other than the middle and upper class cars and the lively atmosphere, the most important thing that attracted Xing Lan and Tian Ya were two elegant and tall Russian girls. They were wearing fiery red enchanting dresses and enthusiastically took photos with the guests. In the end, Xing Lan and the other two found out that the two girls were under the care of a local in his thirties. Their job was to take photos with tourists, and each photo cost ten yuan.
Many things always made people feel uncomfortable when it came to benefits. Perhaps this was also a kind of nature.
"The outside seems more interesting than the inside. Let's go there and take a look.”
After scanning his surroundings, Xing Lan pointed at a fighter jet that was left behind after the war on the platform not far away and suggested. Tian Ya followed Xing Lan's finger and followed his footsteps.
Even though the fighter jet had been worn out by the passage of time, it was still intact. The bullet marks on the fighter jet made Xing Lan and his wife, who were born in a peaceful era, feel the cruelty and blood of war. The two of them took many photos, but Xing Lan only kept one as a memento because he did not like to take photos. At the very least, he did not like his family to see his photos after being exposed to the sun.
"Why do I feel that there's no point in going in?”
After playing for a long time, Xing Lan looked in the direction of the national gate and asked Tian Ya. He didn't care about money. In reality, he used a lot of money to squander. Otherwise, he wouldn't want to go wherever he wanted. Tian Ya was the same as Xing Lan. The two of them could become friends because they never involved themselves with interests. The two of them were prodigals in the real world. They wouldn't help their families with money because they needed to play.
"It's a pity not to go."
Tian Ya was a little hesitant.
"It's fine if we don't want to go. Do you still remember the nesting doll square? Let's go there.”
Xing Lan had an indifferent expression.
"Are you really not going?"
Tian Ya wanted to confirm.
"I'm not going. Let's go to the square and take a look.”
Xing Lan pulled Tian Ya.
Hearing this, Tian Ya looked in the direction of the national gate again and could only follow Xing Lan's footsteps.
Although the nesting doll plaza was very far away from the national gate, Xing Lan and the other man still chose to walk. However, after walking for 20 minutes, the two of them changed their minds. This was because the primitive land of the northeast was not worth looking at when they were away from the crowd. It was as if whatever the heavens had given him back then, he was still the same. There was no change. The two of them hailed a taxi and headed straight for the plaza.
Xing Lan had guessed correctly. This place was indeed more lively and fun than the national gate. The nesting dolls here ranged from the size of peanuts to the four-story-tall trading building in the shape of a nesting doll. There were all kinds of nesting dolls here.
"As expected of the nesting doll square. There are so many nesting dolls.”
Tian Ya looked around excitedly, and his words sounded more like a sigh.
"Nonsense, there aren't many nesting dolls in the nesting doll square.”
He looked at Tian Ya Xinglan, who had rudely poured a bucket of cold water on him.
"Hey, hey, look, the twelve zodiac signs.”
Tian Ya did not pay attention to Xing Lan's words. He pointed at the twelve zodiac statues in front of him and gestured for Xing Lan to take a look. Perhaps because he liked the atmosphere and decoration here, Tian Ya had a smile on his face.
The two of them walked closer to the statues. This was a main street. Twelve statues were divided into six rows on both sides of the road, as if they were welcoming guests. In front of the main street was a huge Russian girl-style nesting doll. This was the largest nesting doll in the entire square. It was divided into four floors and mainly sold Russian art and for tourists to eat.
"Hey, Xinglan, you're a horse, right?”
Tian Ya pointed at the horse statue and asked.
"Yeah, why?"
Looking at Tian Ya Xing Lan's cautious face, he, who was familiar with Tian Ya, knew that Tian Ya would definitely come up with some bad ideas now.
Ignoring Xing Lan, Tian Ya directly ran to the side of the horse statue and rode on the horse's back under Xing Lan's expression as if he was eating someone.
"Take a photo of us."
Tian Ya sat on his horse with a sense of accomplishment.
"I'll go."
He looked at Tianya Xinglan and exclaimed, his face filled with anger.
"Get down here."
He walked closer to Tianya Xinglan and gestured for him to come down.
"Take a picture of me and I'll come down."
Tian Ya still insisted.
"Are you playing or not?"
"No."
Tian Ya directly hugged the horse's neck.
"Alright, you don't want to play, right?"
As Xing Lan spoke, he walked directly to the side of the ox statue. Xing Lan knew that Tian Ya was born in the year of the ox."Are you playing or not?" Pointing at the ox statue, Xing Lan asked. His voice sounded more like a threat.
"What do you want? It's just a photo. If you take a photo for me, I'll take a photo of you when you ride the bull.”
Tian Ya still insisted, but his tone was a little shaken.
"If you don't want to play, then don't play."
As he spoke, Xing Lan slapped the cow's face twice.
"D * mn, how dare you hit my Guardian God.”
Tian Ya jumped down with a thud and shouted at Xing Lan, who was running away. That feeling almost made him jump.
Xing Lan ran towards the trade building with a sinister smile on his face. Tian Ya caught him in two or three steps and directly poked Xing Lan's ribs with his finger. He only stopped when Xing Lan begged for mercy. The tourists were attracted by the two people's fight. Xing Lan, who noticed the strangeness, gestured for Tian Ya to look around. Tian Ya turned around and was shocked. It turned out that countless people had already surrounded them.
"(*^__^*) Heehee…I'm sorry, it's a misunderstanding.”
Tian Ya cupped his fists and looked at everyone. Xing Lan also cupped his fists. After saying that, Xing Lan laughed. Tian Ya poked Xing Lan's ribs again without leaving a trace. The two of them turned their heads and laughed as they ran into the largest nesting doll.
