Seeing that September was coming soon, Jin Chongming's family held a small family meeting. Because there were too many things at home, including roasting wine and feeding pigs, there was still so much wine and so much corn in the house.

Therefore, someone had to stay at home to guard the house. The father-in-law chose to stay behind. Considering that the mother-in-law had worked hard all her life and had not been to the provincial capital, the father-in-law specially gave her a holiday and asked Mu Yi and Jin Baihe to take her out for a walk.

Go. And ensure that the task of sending Yuan Kaiqing to school safely is completed successfully.

Considering that my mother-in-law works hard day and night, although she is in good health, she has to take a train all night and take her to Chengdu at dawn. If she doesn’t get a good rest, she will definitely have no energy. In addition, Jin Lily is pregnant.

It's been almost half a year, and I have a big belly. If I don't get enough rest, I'm worried that something might go wrong. So this time, Mu Yi is a little "pretended for public benefit." Through a good brother from the government, he got the job in advance.

I booked 4 sleeper tickets at the train station.

On the night of September 1st, Mu Yi and Jin Lily took Zhang Xuefen and Yuan Kaiqing, and the group rushed to the train station in the dark. Because the temperature difference between day and night in the mountains is relatively large, especially in autumn,

Except for the slightly higher temperature at noon, it felt a bit cold in the morning and evening. So everyone wore a coat.

When I arrived at the train station, I saw that it was really crowded! Everywhere was crowded with people. But most of them were students, and parents sending students to study. Looking at the waiting hall, the train platform, everywhere,

They were all packed with people. Especially in the waiting hall, people waiting to buy tickets were lined up in a long line, face to face. My mother-in-law praised Mu Yi. "Mu Yi is still capable. Otherwise, Mu Yi can do it."

, when we get here, we may not be able to buy train tickets."

The praise from his mother-in-law made Mu Yi feel a little ashamed. After all, Mu Yi mentioned that he had booked 4 sleeper berth tickets, which was a bit unfair to those people who queued up to buy tickets. However, if this was not the case, he did not dare to imagine that Jin

If Lily squeezes in the hard-seat carriage, there will be serious consequences.

As soon as Mu's mother-in-law and the others settled in a corner outside the waiting hall, they went to pick up the train tickets. They got the train tickets back successfully. Everyone continued to wait for a while. Following a long whistle, a bright beam of light came over.

, amidst the sound of "clang, clang, clang", the train entered the platform.

Compared with those passengers who crowded into hard-seat carriages, the passengers on the sleeper berth were not as crowded. Mu Yi and his party boarded the train bound for Chengdu calmly. This time, it was much more calm than when Mu Yi went to study.

With the long sound of the whistle and the sound of "clang, clang, clang" wheels again, the train set off towards Chengdu. In the sleeper car, Mu Yi and the others found the corresponding berths and arranged the two lower berths for his mother-in-law and his wife.

Sayuri slept, Xiaoqing slept on the middle bunk, and Muyi slept on the upper bunk.

As soon as everyone settled in, the conductor came over and exchanged everyone's train tickets for sleeper cards, and then extinguished the lights in the carriage, leaving only the faint floor light under the aisle.

Everyone fell asleep in a daze. Mu Yi did not dare to sleep because he wanted to ensure everyone's safety. Although Xiaoqing's tuition and living expenses had been transferred to the bank card sent by the school, her mother-in-law still brought two thousand

Sayuri also brought a thousand yuan in cash.

Why do you need to carry cash? Isn’t it bad to keep money in a bank card? In fact, it is not. The main reason is that people are afraid of trouble. Not only are they afraid of wasting time when going to the Agricultural Bank of China in Chengdu, but they are also afraid that if the bank card is not used properly, it will be damaged by the ATM.

It was troublesome to swallow the card, and I was reluctant to pay the withdrawal fee. So I chose to carry cash. In addition to cash, everyone also brought their ID cards, mobile phones, Xiaoqing’s university admission notice, household registration transfer certificate and other important documents.

and items.

Lying on the upper bunk, Mu Yi stared boredly at the aisle, and he discovered a secret. There was actually a rat on the train. He saw a rat running along the edge of the aisle, then running over again, as if it was picking up food.

Food left behind by travelers...

He suddenly felt a little emotional. This mouse seemed to be on a high-end train and traveled north and south with the train every day, but in fact he didn't see any scenery. He could only look like a poor thief, hiding in the carriage to pick up items.

Eating garbage means no freedom at all. If you accidentally fall off the train, you may fall to pieces and die without any body parts. If a mouse has a mind like a human, it will definitely regret boarding this train by mistake.

Bar?

What about life? If you make the wrong choice in life, will you be as pitiful as this mouse?

After much deliberation, Mu Yi still feels that the choices in life are very important. You must not make the wrong choice. If you make the wrong choice, just like this mouse. Then you must take advantage of the opportunity when the train stops to get off the train. However,

If the mouse also has a hometown, I'm afraid it won't be able to find its hometown, right?

But forget it. It’s better than dying on this train, right? Maybe the mouse who got off the train will meet another mouse and form a new mouse family in this new and strange environment.

What about a happy life?

Mu Yi was actually amused by his wild thoughts... The whole night passed like this.

As the cheerful train announcement sounded, the conductor came to exchange everyone's tickets. Muyi took a large bag of boiled eggs, apples, and pears brought by his mother-in-law, and then took Xiaoqing's suitcase, leading the three of them to follow everyone off.

Get on the train and walk towards the exit of the station.

"Ah, come on, there are so many people! Ah! This is so big. Look, there are so many tracks alone, and there are more trains than there are cars here..." My mother-in-law kept walking as she walked.

Make a sigh.

Xiaoqing is also full of curiosity about this strange and fresh environment.

"Brother, there are so many people, maybe tens of thousands of people, right? Is it just because school has started that there are so many people?" Xiao Qing saw that many tourists were dressed similarly to them, and they were all parents with junior high school students.

They look like high school students, and some young people who are carrying suitcases by themselves also look like students.

"At this time, the main time is when school starts. Students and parents make up the majority. However, in fact, it is like this all year round. There are too many people in China. Everyone is busy running around. There are two in a year

There are particularly big travel peaks. One is the "Spring Festival" peak, which is mainly for people who go out to work to go home to celebrate the New Year, and there are also people who go out to work after the New Year. The other is the peak of new students starting school in September. Both old students

Back to school, there are also new students enrolling, and there are parents sending new students to school.”

"Ah! Why do I feel so hot?" My mother-in-law sighed again. Yes, Chengdu is indeed hot. The heat in Chengdu is different from the heat in the mountains. The heat in the mountains is a very dry heat, while the heat in Chengdu is

But it's the kind of humid, stuffy heat.

As soon as the mother-in-law said it was hot, everyone felt hot. Okay. Quickly, they all took off their coats and held them in their hands. For a while, the coats became a burden in everyone's hands.

When we walked to the square in front of the train station, everyone discussed where to go.

Mu Yi suggested that we go to Tianfu Square first to see the statue of the great leader, and then go to see the Wuhou Temple. After seeing the Wuhou Temple, if there is still time, go to Chunxi Road and take a look.

We took the train to Deyang in the evening and stayed in Deyang for one night. After dawn, we sent Xiaoqing to school to report. After Xiaoqing reported that she had arrived, found her dormitory and settled down, the three of them caught the train from Xi'an to Kunming that passed through Deyang in the afternoon.

West turtle.

"Muyi, except for Sayuri, who has followed you to Chengdu, it is our first time for Xiaoqing and I to come to Chengdu. We can't find the road and don't know where to go. You and Sayuri are responsible for leading the way, and you can just look at Ha Xiqi.

That’s ok.” Mother-in-law Zhang Xuefen expressed her opinion.

"Xiao Qing, where are you?" Mu Yi asked Xiao Qing.

Xiaoqing smiled shyly and shook her head.

"Brother, it's better not to stand here and talk. Find a place quickly, eat something, use the toilet or something. Eat enough, and then you can tell where to go." Jin Lily was hungry because she was pregnant with the child.

Go very fast.

"Are you hungry? Here."

Mother-in-law quickly took out a few boiled eggs from her pocket and handed them to Jin Lily first, then to Xiao Qing and Mu Yi.

Mu Yi quickly reminded everyone. "Mom, Sayuri, Xiaoqing, after you peel the eggs, don't just throw the egg shells on the ground. Otherwise, you will be fined."

When she heard that she would be fined, her mother-in-law was so frightened that she quickly put the eggs she was about to peel back into her pocket.

Jin Lily handed her egg to Mu Yi. "Brother, I don't want to eat eggs. It's very choking. I want to eat beef noodles."

Mu Yi took everyone to a noodle shop next to the square. They each ordered a bowl of beef noodles. When paying, my mother-in-law heard that it actually cost 40 yuan. She kept saying: "It's too expensive. It's too expensive."

.”

In fact, the food at the train station is indeed more expensive than other places. If you eat it elsewhere, it will only cost 7 yuan a bowl.

After eating noodles, the noodle shop did not provide toilets. Everyone had to go to the public toilets. There was also a fee for using the toilets, one piece per person.

The mother-in-law sighed again. "Oh, things are not good at all in this big city. Not only does it cost money to eat, but it also costs money to take it out." It made everyone laugh.

Mu Yi took everyone to the bus station. Before reaching the bus station, everyone was thirsty. Although this had something to do with the salty taste of the beef noodles, it was mainly because of the heat.

Mu Yi bought everyone a bottle of mineral water and took it with them. Everyone got on the bus and set off towards Tianfu Square. Every time the bus stopped at a stop, my mother-in-law asked, "Are we about to arrive?"

Chengdu is really too crowded. The bus drivers also drive wildly. They rush for time, red lights, and zebra crossings, but they often just speed up and then brake suddenly. Soon, Zhang Xuefen is killed.

I'm feeling motion sick.

Finally, we finally made it to Tianfu Square. Everyone got out of the car and rested for a while before they finally recovered. Zhang Xuefen and Yuan Kaiqing were soon shocked by the huge Tianfu Square.

"Ah! This Tianfu Square is really too big. It may be dozens of acres." Zhang Xuefen sighed.

"Mom. It is said that Tianfu Square covers an area of ​​88,000 square meters, which is almost 130 acres."

"Oh. No wonder it's not possible. It's too big. It's really too big. If it were used for farming, it would probably take hundreds of thousands of kilograms of millet a year."

Everyone was amused again. When they came to the statue of the great leader, Zhang Xuefen paid homage to the statue devoutly, then put his hands together and bowed three times to the leader. Everyone also imitated her and bowed three times.

After walking around Tianfu Square, everyone was thirsty again, so they bought and drank water. They came to the bus stop and got on the bus to Wuhou Temple.

When we arrived at Wuhou Temple, Zhang Xuefen felt a little distressed when she heard that one ticket costs dozens of yuan, and that for 4 people it would cost hundreds of yuan.

"Forget it. Let's go. Stop watching. It's very hot."

Xiao Qing's eyes were full of curiosity. Mu Yi had gone in and looked at Du Fu's Thatched Cottage before. It would not be easy for everyone to come out, especially the mother-in-law who had a hard time coming out and might not have time in the future.

Come out again. So Mu Yi and Jin Lily discussed it and bought the tickets.

We followed many tourists and entered the Wuhou Temple. Along the route, we saw a gate opening in the middle. A large vermilion plaque on the gate was engraved with four golden characters "Han Zhaolie Temple". On the front left of the gate,

On the right side, there is a Ming Dynasty stone lion on each side. There is a screen wall outside the central axis of the gate. There are banyan trees on both sides of the screen wall. Everyone is very excited.

When he came to the gallery of civil servants and generals in front of Liu Bei's hall, Zhang Xuefen felt very strange and couldn't help asking: "Why are these Bodhisattvas different from those seen in the temple before?" Jin Lily and Mu Yi introduced to him that these statues were not Bodhisattvas, but statues of Bodhisattvas.

During the Three Kingdoms period, the civil servants and generals of the Liu Bei family of the Shu Kingdom were depicted. On the east side were the civil servants, headed by Pang Tong, known as Fengchu, with a total of 14 people; on the west side were the military generals, headed by the wise and brave Zhao Yun, also with 14 people.

Entering the Liu Bei Hall, I saw a very tall statue of Liu Bei in the middle of the hall. The whole body was covered with gold, with a nine-pin crown and a gui in both hands. The waiters on the left and right held one hand with the national jade seal and the other with the Shangfang sword. Liu Bei's posthumous title was written on the tablet in front of the statue.

"Emperor Zhaolie of the Han Dynasty". Everyone was amazed again.
