In Lijiang, there is a kind of wine.

it's called romantic love.

The candle is flashing on the wooden table. Push the cup for a change.

Singing and dancing lightly on the stage is like life.

Probably, many people will feel depressed after experiencing a sad and loveless relationship, and some will get drunk alone and then call friends to tell their love history in tears. However, all this is useless, and the facts have been put in front of them, and it is only a waste of their time to cry. Some people will wait with an expectation, and some people will simply leave sadly, but how things end depends on their own ideas.

Xiao Tian, twenty-seven years old, runs a small inn in the ancient city. In the afternoon, he likes to knock on chess pieces in a friend's tambourine shop and shout some folk songs.

after getting up in the afternoon, Xiao Tian dragged me to sit in a tambourine shop in the ancient city. There were three or four people sitting idle in the tambourine shop, tattooed with big flower arms. After greeting Xiao Tian and his friends, I sat on the threshold, holding my cheeks with both hands and looking at the passers-by, occasionally glancing back at their big flower arms. Seeing that I was going to fall asleep, Xiao Tian took a tambourine and slapped it behind me, which scared me.

"Did you pack dinner today?" I said

"Boy, you want to be beautiful!" After that, I knocked on the drum. "Come on, let's go over there and pile up (squat down to the side)."

"huh? You can also speak Henan dialect. "

"Hey, what are you doing?" Before the words stopped, they beat the tambourine and gave a regular and rhythmic beat. "What do you want to hear?" Xiao Tian asked me.

"whatever ... or just for a moment." Just finished, I heard a burst of laughter in the room and finally turned into a whisper.

Xiao Tian froze for a few seconds, then asked friends in the room to turn on the CD player, put in vinyl CDs, and began to beat the tambourine to the music.

In the streets and alleys of Lijiang, Xiaoqian is released from the early morning opening to the closing at night. Even people who can't sing will be able to hum songs like poisoning after being washed like a storm. After spending an afternoon in the tambourine shop, I had a free dinner with Boss Xiao. After dinner, Daqing, a friend of Xiao Tian, suggested taking me to visit the most famous bar street in Lijiang.

? I had dinner with Brother Daqing in the evening. Daqing said to me after Xiao Tian was lying drunk on the sofa, "You know why we laughed when you were squatting at the door with Xiao Tian today."

I said, "Why?"

Daqing looked at me like you know, and said, "Xiao Tian's first girlfriend talked for six years, and then broke up, and she stayed in Lijiang for a long time."

"This seems to have nothing to do with me." Daqing made an unwarranted remark, as if I were their third party.

"Hey, don't be impatient, I'll tell you slowly." Daqing smoothed his sleeves and drank and took a sip of wine.

Xiao Tian and Linna University met, a science man and a liberal arts woman. After four years in college, they pursued hard, sending scarves in cold weather, ice porridge in hot weather and brown sugar in menstruation. Every holiday, Xiao Tian is always determined to pay attention.

Finally, with Xiao Tian's mindless attentions, I got my wish and got the beauty back. Assign jobs after graduation.

Working days are like clockwork robots, working from nine to five, and occasionally working overtime. Every day when I get home, I also eat a meal in a hurry, and then fall asleep after watching an episode of TV series. Get up at six in the morning, take the subway to the company downstairs at half past eight, and start another day's life.

Maybe it's the monotonous days that go on and on, which makes Linna, a girl full of freedom in her heart, unable to calm down all the time.

If you really keep working like this, maybe you will work until you are married, and then you will marry Xiao Tian and have children. After giving birth, you will continue to work, kindergarten, preschool, primary school, middle school, university ... A series of fixed problems are like things nailed on a conveyor belt, and you will have to accept them when you get there.

Linna seems to find that she may end her life in the same way, and suddenly she doesn't want to accept this forced life. After good friend's persuasion and long-term consideration, I finally decided to leave a resignation letter and go backpacking.

once Xiao Tian knew about Lina's resignation, how could a heart rest assured of Lina? She learned about Lina's whereabouts through the inquiries of Lina's best friend, and Xiao Tian immediately followed after her resignation.

Although Linna kept her mouth shut about her best friend, she couldn't beat Xiao Tian, a leprechaun, and confessed everything.

It was Lina, who was elated by the spring breeze, who was very surprised and moved by Xiao Tian's unexpected visit. As a science man, Xiao Tian took Linna's hand outside the bar with a big bag on his back, and said firmly, "No matter where you go, I will go with you. If you are a fish, I will be your sea. If you are a bird, I will be your sky." That night, Lina was moved to a mess, and it was their first close contact in five years.

During the day, Linna shows Xiao Tian around. It is hard for Xiao Tian to believe that Linna, who has just arrived in Tibet for a long time, can get acquainted with the locals so well. On the street, almost everyone you meet will say hello to Lina, one bite at a time. In the evening, Linna took Xiao Tian to the floating bar. Linna liked that phrase very much: the feathers of a ephemera are well dressed. Sigh for life is short, my heart is full of sorrow, how will I arrange the end of life? The little ephemera flapped its wings in the air and showed its colorful clothes. Sighing, my heart is full of melancholy, where will my life dwell? The soft ephemera just emerged from the ground, gently dancing white mawen clothes. Sigh its life is short, I am filled with melancholy, where to find my life's end? She listened to songs and drinks quietly in the bar, and finally listened to the singer telling those past events, those singing days, those brothers, those memories, those roads that she walked, and those pains that she left behind. Lina choked back tears when she heard the emotion, and Xiao Tian didn't expect it at all. It was this night that made Lina more determined to make her life full of color.

on April 21st, due to various factors, the floating bar will no longer be open. Lina took Xiao Tian to Shangri-La and finally moved to Lijiang to have a rest.

In the summer of 212, on a slightly chilly afternoon, Lijiang was not full of streets for a moment, and there would be some songs by other singers. Xiao Tian and Lina are also one of the tourists who come to Lijiang. They stayed in the inn opened by Daqing for less than half a month, and they are as familiar as Daqing. They played near Yunnan for less than half a year. When they returned to Lijiang, Lina gave an idea to open an inn. Xiao Tian naturally wouldn't miss any chance to make Lina happy. She took money with her parents, borrowed money from her friends, and looked around for an inn to sell. A month later, they were sure to open an inn. Xiao Tian decorated with several brothers alone. Lina left her hands and went out for a walk, and the time was often when the cock crowed and the dog barked. Daqing and several other brothers also more or less beat about the bush to Xiao Tian in private, but Xiao Tian didn't listen. He thought that a liberal arts woman didn't know anything about decoration, so it was better to let me, a science man, calculate the area. Daqing has to keep silent since then.

The inn opened smoothly. Xiao Tian invited his brothers to the yard to celebrate in the evening. A group of people drummed tambourines, sang songs and drank wine in the yard. From then on, Xiao Tian became the shopkeeper, and Lina naturally became the proprietress. Linna is hospitable. Basically, she will have dinner in the inn for four days a week, and invite everyone to eat, drink and sing together. This kind of life lasted for about four months. Before the Spring Festival in 213, Xiao Tian and Linna had a big fight because of which place to go for the Spring Festival. Linna thought that they should go back to their homes because they were not married, but Xiao Tian thought that they had been together for five years, and they were already married. The two men were deadlocked, and finally Lina packed her clothes and went home and left Lijiang. Xiao Tianze spent the New Year alone in Lijiang. Fortunately, there are a group of brothers in Daqing. At least this year is not cold and cheerless. Years later, Lina returned to Lijiang. For this matter, neither of them said a word and lived as usual. Sometimes the inn hired volunteers, and the couple became shopkeepers of cutting and stayed in the tambourine shop in Daqing in the afternoon. At that time, the streets began to play for a moment, and Lina liked this song very much. Xiao Tian followed Daqing to learn the tambourine accompaniment of this song. They liked to sit on the threshold, playing tambourine alone, and lying lazily behind their backs for an afternoon. After a long time, Lina didn't adapt to this quiet life like providing for the aged. Suddenly, she wanted to go somewhere else, but she didn't know how to talk to Xiao Tian. After all, Xiao Tian was very good to her, and she was always looking for an opportunity.

In the autumn of 213, Linna and Xiao Tian quarreled more and more frequently. Sometimes Daqing, as friends, dared not go to Xiao Tian's inn again. In Linna's eyes, Xiao Tian was less romantic and more particular. In Xiao Tian's eyes, Lina is becoming more and more critical, harsh and unreasonable. One morning near winter, Lina left a note on Xiao Tian's bedside table. The night before, Xiao Tian and Daqing drank until the early morning, and all of them were relieved at the end. They also figured it out. Where can she be unreasonable? If I don't hurt her, who else can hurt her? Drunk Xiao Tian stumbled back to the inn by Daqing. Daqing helped Xiao Tian into the room near the stairs on the first floor, tucked him in and pulled the door away. Xiao Tian originally intended to apologize to Linna and propose to her when she woke up, and put on the diamond ring she bought in the gold shop after quarreling with Linna yesterday afternoon, but when she woke up, she found a black and white note.

"Maybe we should really split up. Give me some time to calm down and give you some time to think about it. Maybe I still want to go around the world, and you don't have to ask around for my news. If one day, you can meet me again. I think all the problems will be solved. Take care of yourself and drink less. Naliu "

" Keiko, what are you talking about again? It's really a dog. " Originally drunk into a pool of mud Xiao Tian has woken up, his mouth orders said. "Come on, keep drinking."

"Ok, you can put down the wine. You can take him back to the inn first and come to visit us tomorrow." Daqing lit a cigarette and said to me.

"yeah, ok. Daqing brother, you play slowly. " Daqing and several other buddies nodded at me, so I picked up Xiao Tian, who was drunk, and left the bar. Xiao Tianze said vaguely all the way: "You ... don't listen to his nonsense ... he ... he talks nonsense."

the next morning, I woke up listening to the shouts in the attic. Although I didn't get enough sleep, I went downstairs with a towel. There is a big well in the yard, and there is a row of washing tables and asphalt stone platforms beside the well, which are like recording the faces of all kinds of pedestrians and eyes with stories. When she passed by, a grandmother in her fifties was talking with another guest, probably saying that the girl upstairs had quarreled with the middle-aged man again. The shouts upstairs rang again, and soon I heard the door being slammed. Then, the woman with long hair ran down from upstairs and went straight to the street. Only then did I notice the stranger's face.

At 7: 3 in the morning, the breakfast in the inn was officially opened, and everyone went to the table in the lobby to get their favorite food. To tell the truth, this inn is cheap and affordable, and it also comes with breakfast, which is especially suitable for passers-by to stop and rest.

I brought porridge and two steamed buns and sat next to the new guest. She also ate the steamed buns leisurely and talked with me about the local customs of Lijiang from time to time.

"Your boy didn't wake me up for breakfast." I don't know when Xiao Tian stood behind me, and he suddenly punched me in the back, which scared me to choke the stuffed bun into my trachea and bury my head under the table and cough fiercely. At this time, the new guest handed me a paper towel and motioned me to wipe it, so I had to take her paper towel awkwardly and thank her.

I watched Xiao Tian move with her eyes, and I didn't cough until she went upstairs.

"how to amuse yourself later?" Xiao Tian asked me.

"Go to the tambourine shop and listen to ..."

I haven't finished yet. I seem to have seen Xiao Tian with a cold light shining knife, and he is about to rush to me and whisper in my ear. Do you believe I can kill you? Then I changed my mouth. "Listen to Brother Daqing beating drums, and I'll play gongs."

"In collusion, it's either rape or theft." Xiao Tian withdrew the knife from his eyes. "Then remember to tell Daqing to come over for dinner at night."

"OK, promise to convey it. I won't come back for dinner tonight. I'll go for a walk."

"just right, I didn't prepare your share." Xiao Tian said regretfully

"Oh? Then I will listen to the story. " When he ran out of the store, he shouted and looked at Xiao Tian with glaring eyes. I like to see someone hate my teeth itch, but they can't hit me.

I stayed at the tambourine until dusk. Daqing took my brother to the inn and told me to close the shop and find food by myself when I was hungry. I watch the tambourine shop by myself, playing my favorite music, and knock around like Daqing's tambourine. Occasionally, passers-by come to the shop to have a look and say hello. When night fell, Daqing drank almost back to the tambourine shop and began to tell the story of Xiao Tian.

Later, Linna came back once, with a tired face and dark skin. It's like someone who fled.

At the first sight of Lina at the door, Xiao Tian, unable to resist his inner excitement, rushed up and hugged Lina, completely ignoring the eyes of the guests.

at that time, all he knew was that it was good to come back, and everything would be fine when he came back.

Daqing, who happened to enter the door, saw this scene with a mouthful of tut tut. Xiao Tian doesn't care, just like a child eager to hug. Finally, Lina said, I have a lot on my back, so you let me put it down. Xiao Tian this just reaction come over, one hand a bag straight into the room on the corner of the first floor, people who don't know thought to flee.

Later, Daqing got all the news from Lina.

Linna didn't leave Yunnan at that time, but went to Yubeng. At that time, not many people there knew about it, so Linna made an appointment with three or four friends.

halfway through, due to different directions, there was a conflict between friends, so Lina insisted on walking alone. Lina, who was angry, wandered along the road, and as a result, she got lost in the forest. There was no signal on her mobile phone at all. Towards dusk, Lina calmed down and began to look for a place to live. She found a good place, set up a tent and found clean branches to make a fire pit. Surrounded by strong small tree trunks, Lina thought a lot that night. At this time, Xiao Tian came to mind first. A person was crying in his sleeping bag and scolded Xiao Tian for being an asshole. Why aren't you with me? These are, of course, in my mind. In such a silent and dark forest, a little noise will surprise Lina. When she was tired of crying, Lina fell asleep. On the second day after waking up, she packed up her things and continued to find her way. The next night, she remembered what Xiao Tian had said. Look for the North Star on the side of the Beidou to see the stars on the horizon. After a while, it moved east and west. By this method, Lina found a way out.

I was exhausted when I walked to the highway on foot. Fortunately, God blessed me with a ride to the city, and when I got to Lijiang, I went back to the inn.

Xiao Tian just clung to the landlord, Lina, and Lina kept saying sorry to Xiao Tian, only then did she find that she loved him very much.

I interrupted Brother Daqing and asked Sister Na.

Brother Daqing gave a full burp and replied slowly, and went back to his hometown to get pregnant, I guess.
