Chapter 46: Kuanzhai Alley(1/2)

I was woken up.

After going to the hot springs yesterday, I returned to my room and fell into a deep sleep without even dreaming.

It has been a long time since I had such a sufficient amount of sleep. The last time I slept so well was the night after the college entrance examination when I filled out my application form and found out that I had been admitted to the major I wanted to study. I fell asleep all day long.

Although I didn't study hard enough when I was in college, I mostly stayed up late playing games with my roommates.

After returning from Sea Eye Dragon Palace, I had nightmares for several days and woke up with back pain.

It was not easy for me to have a good sleep with such a relaxed attitude. When I was woken up by Ah Fai, I was really angry, so I jumped up and slapped him.

Ah Hui had no choice but to leave angrily, but not long after, he called Liu Sa and the fat monk Shang Qingyun.

Tortured by Senior Liu Sa's cynicism and Erpang's fists, I had to reluctantly leave my beloved bed.

The city of Chengdu has been extremely lively these two days. It seems that we came at the right time, as Kuanzhai Alley is holding a music festival. Taking this as an excuse, we visited various famous attractions and attractions around Qingyang District, where Kuanzhai Alley is located, including Jinjiang District where we are located.

Events are held in conjunction with meals. The number of people coming to Chengdu is several times more than usual. There are tourists everywhere who come here to take pictures at famous places.

We went to the Chunxi Road subway entrance early in the morning to buy tickets and enter the station. It was only around 6 o'clock in the morning, and the subway was already overcrowded. It was difficult for us to squeeze into the carriage.

The first stop was to go straight to Kuanzhai Alley.

When I was taking a professional course at Western University, when it came to Bashu culture, the professional course teacher spent several class hours telling us how wonderful the Land of Abundance was. The reason was that the professional course teacher was an authentic Sichuanese and claimed that he loved this land.

Got to be deep.

When talking about the scenic spots in Chengdu, I also strongly recommend that if we travel to Chengdu one day, we must visit the Kuanzhai Alley.

In the 29th year of Kangxi (1690), the Gardanan criminals of the Junggar tribe were invaded. The then emperor Aixinjueluo Xuanye, also commonly known as Emperor Kangxi, sent troops to quell the rebellion. This war lasted for a long time and involved many people.

It was not until the year of Qianlong that the three generations of Kangxi's ancestors and grandsons completely quelled the Junggar rebellion.

In the fifty-ninth year of Kangxi (1720), the Qing army set off from Qinghai and Sichuan in two groups and marched into Tibet. Kuanzhai Alley was first built at that time on the basis of the original Shaocheng.

As the name suggests, Kuanzhai Alley is divided into wide alleys, narrow alleys, and well alleys. At first, it was not called an alley, but an alley.

The original name of the wide alley is "Xingren Hutong", the narrow alley is called "Taiping Hutong", and the well alley is called "Mingde Hutong".

It was only during the Republic of China that it was renamed the alley.

When we got off the subway, the stage for the music festival had just been set up. We happened to be running all the way and were hungry, so we ate and walked around in the Kuanzhai Alley.

Shang Qingyun and I ordered two portions of "Long Chao Shou" at a small restaurant in the alley. This is one of Sichuan's special snacks. In fact, it is not much different from the snacks eaten in the north. Although I was born and raised in the south, but in

Under the influence of my father and my grandfather, my eating habits are more northern. I always like to eat plain pasta in the morning.

In comparison, Er Pang and Ah Hui are much more vigorous.

The two of them and Liu Sa wanted to eat some more unique snacks, so they went out for a few rounds. When Shang Qingyun and I were almost done eating, one of them was holding spicy sad jelly in a paper bowl, and the other was holding

He walked over holding a large bunch of Bobo Chicken.

When I saw the bright red chili peppers in their bowls, I felt a burning pain in my cheeks.

The four of us had filled our stomachs but didn’t see Liu Sa come back, so we decided to go look for him together. As soon as we arrived near the small Western-style building in the narrow alley, we saw Liu Sa talking and laughing with a pretty cute girl, and they even shared a meal together.

snack.

The girl's face has baby fat, but she is not fat. Instead, she has a small face and looks quite cute. She wears denim trousers and a yellow thin shirt, and behaves well and gracefully. She looks like a lady at first glance.

We were just about to go up to say hello and tease Liu Sa, but who would have thought that the fat man next to us suddenly froze, and then turned around quickly with a livid face.

"What are you doing?" I asked him.

"It's okay, I ate spicy food and my stomach hurts. I'm going to the toilet." The second fat man said that he was in pain alone, but he covered his forehead.

"Hey, junior fellow students, you are here. Come on, let me introduce you to a beautiful girl." Liu Sa immediately saw us and waved us over.

However, none of us reacted. We only saw the girl taking a quick step and somehow running in front of us in an instant.

This body technique is no less than that of Shang Qingyun.

But the girl's attention was not on us at all. Instead, she stopped the fat man with her hands and said, "I'm in the southern country, don't you remember me?" She spoke in an authentic Sichuan accent.

"Well......"

"What? You don't dare to recognize me?"

The second fat man turned around dully and reluctantly replied in the same Trump voice: "Remember, remember... Yangmei, how could I not know how to say..."

I didn’t know Erpang could still speak Sichuan dialect!!

When Liu Sa heard this, he ran over happily: "Hey, it turns out you two know each other. Tsk, I said Zhang Er is fat, you owe me a girl."

"Who owes you a girl? I'll settle the score with you later!"

The Beijing dialect and Sichuan dialect are really interchangeable...

"What's going on?" Ah Hui was already confused.

Liu Sa introduced us: "Let me introduce, this is Tao Weiyang, one of the four great sects, under the jurisdiction of the Longhu Tianshi Mansion, and a disciple of the Qingcheng Shangqing Sect."

The girl smiled brightly and greeted us with the Taoist hand-over-hand salute. My grandfather taught me how to do the standard hand-over-hand salute:

The thumb of the left hand is inserted into the tiger's mouth of the right hand and pressed on the root of the ring finger of the left hand, which is called Zijue; the thumb of the right hand is under the thumb of the left hand and pinches the tip of the middle finger of the right hand, which is called Wujue; then the palm of the left hand covers the right hand and the outer tiger's mouth is held together.

There is a term in Taoist culture for forming the shape of a Tai Chi diagram, which is called Ziwu Bagua Lianjue.

This is actually just a simple kneading etiquette, but it is always a little awkward to practice at first. When I was a child, my hands would cramp just by practicing this salute etiquette. Even now, my practice is not very standard.

And Tao Weiyang seems to be used to it.

Then Liu Sa introduced us one by one to Tao Weiyang. When it came time to finally introduce Erpang, Tao Weiyang smiled sweetly and showed two small tiger teeth: "No need, I know Brother Xinan very well."

"You can't tell, classmate Zhang Erpang is still a childhood sweetheart!" Liu Sa smiled and hit Erpang with his elbow, and Erpang's face was full of embarrassment.

I thought to myself, not only does that person have one, but there are two more.

Er Pang sighed and said, "After what happened to Nizi, my father and I moved to our hometown. My ancestors once lived in seclusion in Qingcheng Mountain."

"That's not true. Brother Xinan, come back to Qingcheng with me sometime. My dad misses you."

"Um..." The second fat man looked at me with an embarrassed look on his face. Suddenly he had an idea and rushed to me and hugged me. "My buddy is seriously ill. We are here to treat him."

If you are sick, we will talk about it later after we go to Qingcheng Mountain."

Tao Weiyang said: "There is also a panacea in Qingcheng Mountain, which can be used to treat this little brother's illness."

The second fat man grabbed my hand and handed it to Tao Weiyang: "You can't cure his disease. He has been poisoned."

"Gu?" Tao Weiyang had a troubled look on his face, "That's true."

"It's okay, it's okay, we have contacted the guide, and in a few days we will follow him to find the Black Miao people to cure the poison." Er Pang said with relief.

Listening to Erpangyi's words, Tao Weiyang's eyes suddenly lit up: "Do you think this black seedling can be cured?"

Erpang was stunned and couldn't figure out the girl's direction, so he could only answer vaguely: "Probably..."

However, senior Liu Sa next to him rushed to say: "Can you explain it? I mean, little sister Weiyang, can you tell me about it, brother?"

As he spoke, Liu Sa was about to put his arm on Tao Weiyang's shoulder, but Tao Weiyang grabbed Liu Sa with his backhand and threw him to the ground. He looked apologetic and said, "Ah, I'm sorry, brother Liu Sa. I'm used to it, my dad taught me how to deal with it*"

*Use this trick."

This girl can't be white and black...

"I know someone who can take you to Heimiao, and we can meet him in the afternoon."

"But we have already made an appointment with a guide..." Er Pang said, "This is not a good idea."

Tao Weiyang had no choice but to nod and then pointed to the nearby small western-style building: "But it doesn't matter if we meet. My friend is visiting the small western-style building. Let's go and see it together. I will be your tour guide."

Erpang wanted to refuse, but we all rejected it.

Why not be a tour guide with such a lovely girl?

In Kuanzhai Alley, the small western-style building can be called a landmark building. In such an old-designed box, there is a building that combines Chinese and Western styles, which can be said to be very eye-catching.

Who could have imagined that there is such a building that perfectly integrates Roman columns, European arched doors and windows, and Chinese-style wooden railings and carved diagonal braces?

But compared to the architectural features of the small foreign-style building, the story behind it is even more surprising.

According to Tao Weiyang, the original appearance of this small foreign-style building was not what we see now. The current small foreign-style building has been rebuilt.

The original small foreign-style building was purchased by General Wang. When the war broke out in the last century, the general went out of Sichuan with the Sichuan Army, but never came back. His wife waited here hard, but never got the news. In the end, his family fortune was

It's better to have to sell this house one day.

The new owner of the house renovated the western-style building, but abandoned it after half of the renovation. After the war, the lady returned to the old place and saw the western-style building in such a dilapidated state. She had mixed feelings in her heart and fled away from home.

Today, this small western-style building has been restored and rebuilt, roughly restoring its original appearance, but with some changes.

We followed Tao Weiyang into the foreign-style building and saw a girl wearing a blue dress and a ponytail facing us. She smiled when she saw Tao Weiyang.

"Wow, Weiyang, you brought so many boyfriends today?"

"Fuck you." The two girls joked to each other, "These are all my friends. That one is Brother Liu Sa. This one, I mentioned to you, is Brother Zhang Xinan. Over there are his friends, Chen Siyu and Ah Hui.

, and, this lovely ***..."

Seeing Shang Qingyun, the pony-tailed girl ran to Shang Qingyun and pinched his cheeks with a cry of "ah": "What a cute ***~ Tell me sister, what is your name~"

"Shang Qingyun." His tone was still calm.
