Ch25 - Peach Blossom Sign

Early the next day, Xu ChengYan left the hotel and went to a local tourist attraction, an ancient town.

Now was the off-season for tourism, and fewer people go out to travel. 

Xu ChengYan found an inn to stay in.

However, when checking in the information, the inn owner saw that Xu ChengYan had booked a single room, and asked casually, “Are you alone? It’s better to fill in the emergency contact.”

 

After Xu ChengYan thought about it, he still filled the name and number of XianSheng in the column of emergency contact.

He was an orphan, had no relatives, and had no friends. Only XianSheng had the closest relationship with him. 

After the registration, Xu ChengYan went upstairs to the room and put down his luggage first.

 

Open the window, there was a river outside the window, and across the river was the sightseeing street, the scenery was very beautiful.

Xu ChengYan rested in the room for a while, and then went downstairs alone and slowly strolled around the town.

Walking out along the river, there were many small shops along the road.

 

There were cake stalls, souvenir or trinket stalls, and there were even fortune-tellers…….

Xu ChengYan looked at the fortune-telling stall, and was about to pass by when he was suddenly stopped by the stall owner.

“Little handsome guy!” The stall owner of the fortune-telling stall hurriedly came over and took the opportunity to sell: “I think your face looks good! Would you like to come and do some calculation?”

 

The stall owner’s voice sounded young. Wearing a Taoist uniform and those retro round sunglasses, he looked like a magician. 

“I’m very accurate here! I won’t ask for money if not!” The little Taoist pointed to his fortune-telling booth.

Xu ChengYan looked over, and saw that there was “Read Marriage and Career” written above the fortune-telling booth and there were a lot of fortune-telling props on the table.

Xu ChengYan was a little curious, and said, “Then, calculate marriage.”

The little Taoist took out a lottery box from nowhere, “Come, come, come, draw a fortune stick!” 

Xu ChengYan randomly drew a bamboo stick from it, glanced at the writing on it, and then handed it over.

The little Taoist took it over, his eyes lit up immediately: “Peach Blossom Sign!”

 

“Little handsome guy, has a BaiFuMei been chasing you recently?” The little Taoist asked.

“Where did a BaiFuMei come from?” Xu ChengYan smiled. 

“Not now doesn’t mean it won’t happen in the future!” The little Taoist slapped his thigh, “How good is your Peach Blossom Sign!”

The little Taoist said a lot about divination and fortune, but Xu ChengYan was a little dizzy when he heard it. So, he said: “Let’s calculate the career.”

“Okay!” The little Taoist took out another bamboo tube.

Xu ChengYan took out the bamboo stick and handed it over. The little Taoist looked at it and said in surprise, “It’s the best stick again!” 

“Let me tell you, your career can be said to be smooth sailing and prosperous!” The little Taoist complimented again.

Xu ChengYan listened quietly and did not speak.

After all, he had just quit his job and didn’t even have a job. And, he still didn’t know what job he could find in the future.

What’s more, his relationship wasn’t going well, and he just had a quarrel with XianSheng. 

This little Taoist was not accurate at all.

However, before leaving, Xu ChengYan was very happy with paying the fortune-telling fee.

Although he knew that this fortune-telling was fake, at least the little Taoist said good things, and he felt very good to listen to.

After leaving the fortune-telling stall, Xu ChengYan came to the pier along the path by the river. 

There were slightly more tourists on the pier side, and there was a small pavilion next to it, where tourists could get a map of the ancient town for free.

Xu ChengYan also went to get a copy, but there were too many scenic spots marked on the map, and he was not in the mood to make the itinerary, so he asked the staff in the pavilion: “Is there a tour guide here?”

“You can go there and ask for a tour guide.” The staff pointed to the pier not far away.

There were many private boats docked on the side of the pier. When Xu ChengYan walked over, he was instantly surrounded by a group of people. 

“Does the boss want to take a boat?”

“Where is the boss going? I’ll take you there!”

 

Xu ChengYan asked: “Is there a tour guide? I am looking for a tour guide.”

“Me, me, me!” A young boy not far away rushed out instantly, “I’m familiar with this place! The boss can just hire me!” 

In addition to the boy, several other people also recommended themselves.

Xu ChengYan looked around, because only the boy was about the same age as him, and the other tour guides were middle-aged people who were slightly older.

So Xu ChengYan conveniently hired the boy.

“Thank you, boss!” The other party smiled: “My name is Qin Zhou. You can just call me Xiao Zhou.” 

Qin Zhou was young, about the same height as Xu ChengYan, with a darker complexion and looked very simple and honest.

“Where do you want to go, boss?”

“Anywhere is fine.” Xu ChengYan didn’t care. He looked at the map again and asked, “Can I go to the temple?”

“Of course!” Qin Zhou nodded, and saw Xu ChengYan was empty-handed and didn’t even bring a backpack, he said: “But boss, you better buy some food and drink to prepare in advance, there is nothing to eat on the mountain.” 

Qin Zhou pointed to the mountains in the distance, and from the pier side, one could still see a temple halfway up the mountain.

Xu ChengYan took out the map and looked at the distance for a while, feeling a little far, so he said, “Let’s go tomorrow. Do you have time tomorrow?”

“Yes, yes!” Qin Zhou hurriedly responded, and exchanged contact information with Xu ChengYan again.

Just when Qin Zhou was entering the number, Xu ChengYan looked at the other party and found that Qin Zhou’s mobile phone was an old model from many years ago, and there were many scratches on the phone, which seemed to have been used for a long time. 

In addition to the phone, Xu ChengYan also noticed that Qin Zhou’s clothes were not that new. His coat was a little white after washing, and he wore a watch on his left wrist, but the watch strap was worn out, and even his shoes were slightly old.

Xu ChengYan retracted his gaze, and when Qin Zhou finished entering the number, he asked, “Are there any stamps for sale here?”

“Stamps……” Qin Zhou thought about it, and said with a little uncertainty: “I’m not sure about this. I know there are several shops selling souvenirs, but I’m not sure if there are any stamps.”

Qin Zhou took Xu ChengYan to the nearby souvenir shops to find them. Fortunately, the two found the commemorative stamps in the last shop. 

There were three kinds of stamps, and Xu ChengYan bought them all.

After returning to the hotel in the evening, Xu ChengYan put the stamps on the table, took a photo, and sent it to Jiang Lin.

 

Not long after the message was sent, Jiang Lin sent a call request, and Xu ChengYan picked it up.

“Sister-in-law!” 

The background sound on Jiang Lin’s side was a bit noisy, and Xu ChengYan asked, “Still playing outside?”

“Yes! Today the bar invited a band to come over! It’s fun!” Jiang Lin’s voice was a little excited, and then again he asked, “How about Sister-in-law?”
