Chapter 172
Walking outside the city, the city gate is towering and antique.

The blue-gray bricks and stones are a little whitish, showing tourists the years of wind and frost that this ancient city has experienced.

It seems to be an old man in his twilight years, but he also reveals a hale and hearty vitality.

On both sides of the city gate sat some old people wearing Tibetan and Qiang costumes.

The colorful costumes made Lu Ming feel as if he had traveled through history and returned to a certain moment in ancient times.

"Lu Mingming, I like this place~"

The girl next to her was walking, taking pictures, and kept saying, "It would be great if we could travel frequently in the future, to see the scenery in every corner of the world, and to travel through different lives."

"Look at that mother-in-law, she looks so gentle with a smile, she must have been beautiful when she was young."

"There's also that grandpa, who smokes dry tobacco and has layers of wrinkles on his face. If he can take a close-up, he will probably win an award!"

"Lu Mingming, can you go tell that grandpa, I want to take a picture~"

Lu Ming smiled lightly, and stopped: "You are talking about our future life, Yingying, wait, I will ask that uncle now."

Walked in front of the old man in three or two steps, and just squatted down, he was choked by thick white and yellow smoke from the opposite side.

"You guys smashed it, I'm sorry."

The old man smiled and fanned the smoke: "Come to the side, and sit on the saddle next to you."

"Ahem, okay, thank you, sir." The smoke is so strong that it is really unbearable.

"Boy, you want to ask me if I can take a picture, right?"

Lu Ming was stunned: "Yes, sir, there should be many people who come to travel and want to take pictures with you, right?"

"Yeah, otherwise what am I doing sitting here, it's so hot in the sun!"

A little confused: "Then you..."

With a big wave of his hand, the old man patted the smoke away, and smiled more amiably: "Taking one photo is 50 yuan, and there is a discount for three photos, 100 yuan."

"what?"

"Don't worry, boy, I didn't charge randomly. Look." The old man stretched out his hand and scanned from side to side. "Among these people, my price is the cheapest. If you don't believe me, go ask."

Lu Ming was speechless. It turned out that the old man did business like this...

"Especially that old lady across the street, even though she looks good, the price is the most expensive in our area. It costs 80 yuan to take a picture. Tsk tsk tsk. To be honest, I feel a little bit dark, so I say , the more beautiful the old woman is, the less she can play with her..." This seems to be a bit embarrassing, and there seems to be a story.

The corner of Lu Ming's mouth twitched, and he pulled out a stiff smile: "Okay then, I'll take three pictures."

As soon as he finished speaking, the old man took out a piece of printing paper from behind, on which was printed a square WeChat QR code: "Scan here, it's very convenient."

Lu Ming took out his mobile phone in a daze, and sighed: "Old man, you have a business mind."

"Haha, we're just earning a little pocket money, only seven or eight hundred yuan a day, not much."

"Seven or eight hundred!"

The shock in Lu Ming's heart came one after another, seven to eight hundred a day, seven to eight thousand in ten days, and more than 2 a month.

Even in Shudu, if you can get more than 2 a month, that is a proper elite class...

The old man was enjoying Lu Ming's shock.

At this time, Xia Mengying came over: "Lu Mingming, what are you doing?"

The old man smiled and said: "Little girl, I charge for taking pictures here, and you can take three pictures for 100 yuan. The quality is absolutely guaranteed. Look at my wrinkles, don't they have a special texture?"

"???" Xia Mengying was taken aback, because the old man's words were quite professional, but what surprised her even more was that there was a charge for taking pictures!

"Master, do you still need to charge money for taking pictures?"

"Yes."

Seeing this, the old man felt bad, and hurriedly urged Lu Ming to pay.

Lu Ming's phone froze in the air.

Feeling the cold eyes from the side, he flinched a little.

"It's too expensive, don't shoot, let's go~" Xia Mengying waved her hand.

"Ah?" Lu Ming was embarrassed, "Yingying, three tickets for 100 yuan, it's okay, otherwise..."

"No, we still need to save money and not waste it when we travel."

"Oh."

After finishing speaking, Xia Mengying pulled Lu Ming to leave.

The old man panicked.

Just now he was bragging when he said seven or eight hundred a day. He sat here all morning and finally got a customer. How could he let him go so easily.

Then stood up: "Girl, 100 yuan is really not expensive, this place is the most cost-effective for me, and there is no deception... Hey, don't go, or I will give you another one, take four, okay? "

The two still had no intention of staying.

"Yingying, 25 a piece is not expensive, you want to participate in the competition, you can try..."

"Don't talk, let's continue walking~"

"What do you mean?"

"Shh-"

Just as Lu Ming was pulled by Xia Mengying in a daze, he walked another two or three meters.

Suddenly there was a shout from behind: "Girl, five tickets! Five tickets for 100 yuan, this is the lowest price!"

stop.

Xia Mengying turned around and smiled sweetly: "Grandpa, five tickets are fine, but the price is a bit expensive, we are all students, we don't have much money..."

The scene is completely one-sided.

The old man sighed: "Then tell me, how much is it?"

"Fifty!"

"50 for two?"

"No, five tickets for 50 yuan!"

"what?"

-

"Lu Mingming, if we had known it would cost money, we wouldn't have photographed that grandpa~"

Satisfied, Xia Mengying dragged Lu Ming along while walking, feeling a little distressed at spending 100 yuan to take a photo.

This is the first time she spends money on taking pictures.

Lu Ming touched the head of the girl next to him: "Didn't the old man say that it's hard work in such a big sun, and you are very likely to win prizes for taking pictures, and you will get 2 to [-] yuan by then, right?" .”

Coughed: "The most important thing is that you took three pictures for 100 yuan, but you just bargained for 50 yuan to take five pictures. I have to say, you are really good!"

Xia Mengying turned her face and smiled sweetly, the sun shining on her face was white and crystal clear, very pretty: "It's not that powerful, it's that it's greasy~"

"Uh..." Lu Ming twitched.

Xiao Nizi dared to hold back her feelings all the time, she was so happy in her heart.

"Skunk Yingying, you are really a money fan." Concluding the statement.

"Hmph! That's not true!" Xia Mengying pouted and laughed softly, "I'm a thrifty housekeeper~"

The two walked slowly into the city gate, and they saw the straight bluestone streets, but they shone brightly under the sunlight.

Although it is an ancient city.

But it is almost completely commercialized.

Seeing those local people wearing ethnic minority costumes, in the eyes of Lu Ming and Xia Mengying, they all regarded them as peddlers doing business.

it is noon now.

There are not many tourists walking on the street, and most of them go to the restaurants on the street to rest.

Lu Ming took a glance, most of them were milk tea shops and cold drink shops packaged in old houses.

"Yingying, are you hot and thirsty?"

"Not hot, not thirsty, wow, the house in front is quite interesting, and there are colorful flags on it!"

"I said, or we—"

"Lu Mingming, let's go and have a look!"

Interrupting Lu Ming directly, Xia Mengying trotted forward, as if seeing a handsome guy hungrily.

"Hey."

Lu Ming licked his dry lips, and walked up helplessly.

"Crack!"

"Crack Kacha!"

"Let's take a group photo here!"

"Oh." Lu Ming panted, "But who will shoot us?"

"..."

The two turned their heads, and suddenly saw three boys walking in from the gate of the city in the distance.

Haven't seen his face yet.

The three of them ran directly to the side.

Lu Ming frowned: "Yingying, do you think the first three look familiar?"

"Yingying?"

Turn around and look.

But Xia Mengying ran away and spoke to a big sister who was three meters away.

While talking, he picked up the camera and instructed to take pictures.

After 1 minute, he ran back: "Okay, that auntie will take pictures for us, no money~"

"Ok."

Dispelling the doubts in his heart, Lu Ming put down his travel bag, stood on the stone steps in front of the house under Xia Mengying's guidance, and then sat down.

Xia Mengying put her hands on his shoulders.

"Boy, girl, I'm starting to shoot!"

"Yeah, Auntie, just shoot when you count down to three~"

"it is good!"

When the countdown reached one, Xia Mengying suddenly changed her posture and pulled Lu Ming's ears with both hands.

The above laughed.

There was a look of pain and sorrow on the bottom.

There was only a click in front of him, and the picture was frozen at this moment.

-

The sound of cicadas "Wow wow wow" came from nowhere.

It made the already hot noon even more annoying.

Even Yang Kai's back and hair were almost wet with sweat, not to mention the fat and thin people who divided his travel bag.

"Brother Kai, why do you think we worked so hard? From Sichuan to the ancient city of Songzhou, and tomorrow we will go to Jiuzhaigou. I think I'm going to suffer from heat stroke. Why don't we go back later?" The thin man dragged his travels Go forward like a snail.

Fatty looked at Lu Ming and Xia Mengying, who were fighting with each other because they were taking pictures and pulling their ears, and his expression became more and more bitter.

"They came here for their honeymoon. We not only suffer here, but also eat unlimited dog food. I have never suffered such a serious injury in Xu Liya. Brother Kai, listen to my advice and let go of the obsession in your heart. You still have the whole life." A lush green forest."

"Green and oily?"

Yang Kai walked in the front, seeming to have grasped the key words.

He turned his head abruptly, his eyes were bloodshot, and his hair, which was pressed by the hair, kept dripping down.

It looked as if the whole person crawled out of the water just now.

"Don't get me wrong, the forest is lush green, I didn't mention your hair."

"!"

The fat man froze, and said with a chuckle: "Or let's rest near the gate of the city. We haven't eaten lunch yet. Anyway, they will pass by here after shopping, so we can just follow."

"..."

Yang Kai's staring eyes gradually dimmed.

It seems that I can't resist the scorching summer and the noisy cicadas at last.

Looking back reluctantly, I looked at the two people who started chasing each other, laughing and joking, and the eldest sister who was conscientiously pressing the shutter and smiling like an aunt.

Youyou said: "Okay, my heart is also very tired, so I went to this shop next to me to eat something. I heard that the yak meat is not bad..."

"Yeah, just eat yak meat, I'm already drooling!"

"Haha, brother Kai, you can only see a bright future if you put it down, such as yak meat, go, my stomach is so hungry that my chest is on my back!"

"Yeah, fill your stomach before you can continue to follow, let's go!"

"..."

"..."

-

It was already four o'clock when we came out of the ancient city of Songzhou. Although the sun was still hot, Lu Ming and Xia Mengying had a great time.

Not only saw the historical sites, but also tasted all kinds of delicacies in the ancient city.

Even though the commercialization is more serious, they can still taste different from Shu. They didn't even eat lunch, and they only ate one portion of each snack, and the two shared it.

You take a bite and I take a bite.

After eating seven or eight dishes, my stomach is already bulging.

After going down the mountain, it took nearly two hours by taxi to reach the mouth of Jiuzhaigou.

At the suggestion of the driver, I finally stopped at the door of a bungalow similar to a homestay.

After getting off.

At the door, there is a tour guide waving a small red flag directing the aunts and uncles of the tour group to keep order.

Lu Ming and Xia Mengying went through the crowd and went directly to the hotel lobby.

The decoration is not as luxurious as that of Shudu Hotel, but there is an exotic style rushing towards us.

"Handsome guy, beautiful girl, do you want to stay at the hotel?"

The lady at the front desk is wearing Tibetan clothes, but she speaks fluent Mandarin.

"Yeah." Lu Ming took out his ID card and Xia Mengying's ID card, "Is there a restaurant here? Can I still eat now?"

The young lady smiled slightly: "Yes, after you check in, you can put your luggage in the room first, and then go to the opposite side. There are not only Sichuan-style dishes, but also our special dishes."

"it is good."

"Then do you open a room or..."

Lu Ming looked at the girl next to him.

After looking at each other.

Xia Mengying looked away and looked at the decoration of the hall with her mouth pursed.

Lu Ming was very happy in his heart, it was different from the first time he came to Shu.

At that time, I had to rack my brains to play routines with Li You, but now...

"Open a room, ask for a big bed room."

"no problem."

After paying the deposit and room fee, Lu Ming looked at the room card, 116.

Then she led Xia Mengying out of the hall.

After about 5 minutes.

Three ghostly boys entered the hall.

Go straight to the front desk.

One of the boys, who was drenched and fat, said, "Beauty, we also have a room. Do you have three beds?"

"I'll check, please wait a moment."

After some operations, the beauty raised her head and showed a standard smile: "Yes, there are two more."

"That--"

"and many more."

The tall and thin boy next to him interrupted and asked, "May I ask what room number did the couple have just now?"

"Just now?"

Yang Kai gestured: "The man is a little over 1.8 meters tall and not as handsome as I am. The woman is very white with big eyes and very beautiful."

The young lady was dumbfounded.

"Ahem." Yang Kai gritted his teeth and changed his method, "The man is a little more handsome than me..."

"Oh, I see, your relationship with them is..."

"We are college classmates." Sure enough, people in this world have a problem with aesthetics.

"Oh." The young lady looked at the three of them for a while, and let go of her guard. After all, there are surveillance cameras here, and no one dares to mess around. "They live in 116."

"Then we'll stay at 115!"

"115?"

"Yeah, is there a problem?"

The young lady glanced at the three of them, a little embarrassed: "The room is empty, but you three probably won't be able to sleep?"

"It's okay, the fat man sleeps in the same bed, and I can sleep with the skinny man."

"However, 115 is a single room, and the bed is not very big, only 1.5 meters, the three of you..."

The thin man and the fat man wiped off their sweat, they are so tired today, no matter what they need to sleep at night.

Just wanted to advise.

But Yang Kai said without any hesitation: "It's okay, it's just this room, the three of us can squeeze together!"

Everyone: "..."
