Xie Bian thanked him politely, and walked out of the station with Fan Wujiu, not intending to travel by car. The primary purpose of their coming here is to find their former home.
As soon as they got out of the station, they saw a lot of high-rise buildings on the side of the road, and the streets were full of vehicles, which were completely modernized. The giant beast called the era swallowed up everything in the past, leaving no trace of the old days to be seen.
Fan Wujiu sighed: "There used to be earth buildings everywhere, but now they are all reinforced concrete."
Tulou is a traditional dwelling in Fujian Province, and it is called the five characteristic dwellings in China together with courtyard houses in Beijing, cave dwellings in Shaanxi Province, Qianlan style in Guangxi Province, and a seal in Yunnan Province. China has a vast land and abundant resources, and the architectural styles of various places are distinct. Fan Wujiu remembered that his childhood village consisted of dozens of circular earth buildings, large and small. Each building could house dozens of families and share a well. On sunny days, women pound their clothes by the well, and after pounding, they hang upstairs to dry their clothes. Children play in the patio, full of fireworks. On a rainy day, seeing the dense eaves and rain curtains and listening to the sound of rain, the artistic conception is not inferior to the ancient city of Jiangnan with blue bricks and black tiles. During the festivals, every household hangs up red lanterns, and the buildings are brightly lit, making it extraordinarily lively. He would also visit Xie Bi'an's house and get a piece of sugar cake.
Now it's all passing by, empty memories.
A passerby listened to his emotion and said enthusiastically, "You two are here to travel? If you want to see Tulou, you can go to Nanjing Tulou, which is still preserved. But that place is in Zhangzhou, which is quite far from here, so I suggest you go first. Go after Xiamen is over."
Xie Bian nodded to express his gratitude, and the enthusiastic passers-by waved their hands and left.
They also did not have the idea of ββgoing to see the tulou. This building now seems to be a traditional residence in ancient times, a world cultural heritage, and a famous tourist attraction, but for them, there is not so much aura, and it can be summed up in one word.
It's just their home.
This is a familiar homeland, but also an unfamiliar city. Walking on the streets of the bustling urban area, the two immortals realized that they could not find the old site of Zhuye Village, and it was useless to ask any tour guide.
Fortunately, the immortals will not use ordinary people's methods when they do things.
They found a remote alley and directly summoned the land god here.
The little old man with a short stature and a gray beard leaned on a cane, crawled out of the ground, bent over and bowed: "I don't know if the two impermanent immortals are coming here, they will be far away, respectful and respectful. The little old man is really fortunate in his life to be able to serve in the post. During the period, I saw the Seventh Master and the Eighth Master come to visit."
There are countless land public land wives all over the country. The earth god is an earth immortal. He changes his position every five hundred years. He looks older on the outside, but in fact his qualifications are not black and white, and he is naturally excited to see them now.
"It's not a distant visitor, just going home." Xie Bi'an said.
The Earth God stroked his beard and said tremblingly, "The Seventh Master and the Eighth Master are actually from this place? It's a great honor, a great honor."
"Land, do you still remember where Zhuye Village is?" Fan Wujiu cut straight to the point.
"Bamboo Leaf Village? Let the little old man think about it, he is very old..." The Earth God wanted to say that he has a bad memory when he is old, but he thought that the two people in front of him were twice as old, so he quickly stopped, "Oh, remember Now! Bamboo Leaf Village changed its name three hundred years ago, I still remember the location is in the southwest, please come with me.β
Xie Bian and Fan Wujiu looked at each other and followed.
The tulou of those days have long since ceased to exist, replaced by rows of flat-roofed houses. The bamboo forest where swords were practiced in the past is gone, tall pines and cypresses are planted on both sides of the road, and the old man in the vest shakes the fan to enjoy the coolness under the tree.
Although what they saw was completely different from what they remembered, they still stopped in front of a quaint homestay with a little sense.
This was their home back then.
Seeing that they had found a place to stay, the land public didn't bother much, and bowed back to the ground.
Xie Bian and Fan Wujiu stepped into the homestay, and as soon as the door was opened, an electronic sound of "Welcome" sounded. A huge electric fan in the room creaked, sending strong winds against the front desk.
At the reception desk, the proprietress dozed off with her chin propped on her chin. She suddenly woke up when she heard the electronic sound. When she saw the two handsome guys walking towards her, she was all dozed off immediately.
Hey, hey, this is so handsome, shouldn't he be some internet celebrity?
There are not a few Internet celebrities who came here to check in and take pictures. It is really rare to be so handsome in reality without beauty and filters.
The proprietress smiled warmly: "How many rooms do the two handsome guys want?"
Fan Wujiu: "A double room."
Xie Bi'an: "A big bed room."
Almost in unison.
Xie Bian glanced at Fan Wujiu with a vague meaning, and his eyes were cold.
Fan Wujiu suddenly had goose bumps on his back, wanting to survive to make him change his words: "I want a big bed room."
The proprietress looked at them with a strange look, and she probably had a cp in her heart.
"One hundred yuan a night, register with your ID card," said the proprietress.
One hundred yuan a night is simply too cheap now when prices are skyrocketing.
Naturally, there are ID cards. They live in the human world. For convenience, they will handle all the documents needed by human beings. Fan Wujiu took his ID card for registration, and passed the face recognition by the way.
"Room 403." The proprietress handed them the room card.
On the room card is written the contact information of the owner of the homestay, a string of phone numbers, followed by a Mr. Xu.
Xie Bi'an vaguely remembered that their neighbor in the tulou was also surnamed Xu.
"Madam, how long has this homestay been open?" Xie Bian asked casually.
The proprietress is happy to answer questions for the handsome guy: "It's been more than ten years. I have always opened the homestay, and I became the proprietress when I got married. I used to live across the street. Our ancestors have lived here for generations, Fujian Province. But a good place."
Xie Bian smiled: "It is indeed outstanding."
Thousands of years have passed, the earth building has been torn down, and the children of the neighbors have been passed down from generation to generation, and they still live here today, opening a homestay to entertain tourists from all over the world.
