Night Rain 丨 Li Lifeng: Longmen Hao roamed

Ryumen Hao roamed

Li Lifeng

"You're here for the event, right?" I had just stepped off the elevator on the 4th floor and walked straight toward a shop in front of me, with the joy of Ryumon Hiroshi's first glance and the ignorance at first sight. Unexpectedly, several girls stopped me at the door and asked me the same question in unison, with the good feeling of first sight, and their eyes were shining.

"What activity? I'm here to go shopping. "Oh! You shop. Several girls replied in unison, and Qi Qi put away the light in his eyes, turned and sat down at the small bamboo table outside the store, ignoring me. Leave my mind racing for a few seconds.

As soon as I looked down, I found a low sign on the ground in the doorway - "So-and-so property and so-and-so bank co., LTD. blind date", and on the side were "goddess" and other trendy words. At this time, I reacted, and it turned out that I had mistakenly entered a blind date that was about to start.

Soon it will be the "March 8th" Goddess Day, and it is the annual blind date season. I can't help but think of a joint meeting that ended last weekend, leaders from hospitals, schools, and communities almost invariably raised the same topic - the organization of single workers' fraternities. Today's leaders, part-time moon elders and red brides, really heartbreaking.

On the right, there is a bookstore called Shiji. When I saw the bookstore, my legs couldn't move. Especially the bookstore in Laojie, the decoration is very Lijiang, very literary, very fashionable, maverick, just suitable for people like me who love books. Unfortunately, there is too little reading time for leisure, otherwise you can rush into the bookstore and come to a long reading in the style of the old sky and the long reading of the dark.

At the entrance of the bookstore is a terrace where people sit in pairs of threes and twos gossiping. I scanned the week, and although there were books all around, no one was reading them. Everyone was either chatting or looking. I'm not immune.

Opposite, is the Yuzhong Peninsula, high-rise forest, in the faint clouds, shadows.

The Yangtze River slowly comes from the front, leaving a bright footprint of a river, and it meets the Jialing River not far in front of it, as if it is a pair of long-separated lovers.

On the river, there is a ropeway that shuttles back and forth, weaving through the clouds, full of magic and modernity. On its side is the East Pratunam Bridge, which is hundreds of meters high. Changhong lying wave, magnificent momentum.

No wonder, the river scenery is invincible, the scenery is enough to comfort people's hearts, and the book is full of taoism?

At this time, it was past noon, and drowsiness struck. I walked into the bookstore, ready to take a corner and take a nap.

In the shop, people who drank coffee in pairs of threes and threes spoke softly. All kinds of ornaments, flower arrangements, messages, old objects, let the casual and relaxed atmosphere just right, tight nerves instantly relaxed.

The most conspicuous place is Wu Jiajun's "Little Soul", behind which is Hongying's "Moonlight Samurai". Because both are famous writers from Chongqing, they sell their limited-edition autograph editions. Hongying's book was bought before, while Wu Jiajun's book was not.

I picked it up and put it down again. At first, I hadn't made up my mind to buy it. While searching for a seat in the store, I meet the young clerk. In his young eyes, there was a faint sadness and helplessness.

Sticking to a bookstore, no emotion is not enough. In a second, I decided to buy a book and then take a nap. In this way, it is more at ease. I bought Wu Jiajun's "Little Souls" and then took a photo and sent it to Jiajun, which was a greeting after a long absence.

Jiajun is the same age as me, and one year and one year, we jointly won the "Top Ten Authors of the Year" in the supplement of Chongqing Rule of Law Newspaper, and awarded the award together. Since then, I have lived in the circle of friends and rarely met. But I have always paid attention to Jia Jun, who is strong in his pen, deep in emotion, and his works are mostly small and large, and he is famous for his works.

For the writers I know, I am happy to buy their books to read. To respect a writer is to read his books and realize the communication of soul and spirit in the book, rather than the politeness of meeting, the hypocrisy, or the raising of a glass and the praise of each other.

At the right time, when you meet the right place, it is naturally a good sleep. As for how long I slept, I don't know. All I know is that bookstores create a kind of paradise-like lunch break. Notice that I don't say heaven, many shelters, I'm Chinese, only peach blossoms.

I woke up, took my daughter's hand, and continued to explore the layered old streets of Longmenhao. At this time, I found that my daughter was holding a small book of "Zizhi Tongjian" in her hand, which was only one-third the size of her palm, just like the small copy used by someone to cheat in the past.

My wife told me that in the three books of "Tang Poems", "Dream of the Red Chamber" and "Zizhi Tongjian", my daughter decisively chose "Zizhi Tongjian". I laughed and said, "When you grow up, won't you want to go to politics?" ”

While waiting for the elevator, my daughter told me to go to the toilet. Seeing that my wife and friend were chatting hotly, I took her with me. As a result, if you are not careful, you have made a big mistake.

My daughter, who was almost four years old, went into the women's restroom. I didn't bring paper with me when I went to the toilet. Across the door, I heard my daughter's cry for help, and I didn't know what to do for a moment. Fortunately, a girl was also on the toilet and offered to help solve my big problem.

I strongly recommend that in the future, the toilet should not be separated into men and women, and a third toilet should be set up for the disabled, or for the grandparents with infants and young children. Otherwise, this embarrassment is inevitable.

From the fourth floor to the third floor, there is an Italian antique shop, and an old-fashioned typewriter has aroused the son's interest. To say that there is no expensive way, but the parents responsible for paying the bill unanimously decided not to buy!

First of all it is too big, and who will buy it is a problem. The son has always just bought and taken care of it. Secondly, it stays at home, and everything gets in the way. Non-essential.

Despite the reluctance of the twelve thousand, there was even a fierce tug-of-war. During this time, I almost compromised, but in the end reason triumphed over emotion, and I did not buy.

I think that to grow up is to endure some undesirable, not to get, not to stay. But I know that a child's heart will leave a knot, and the gap with the parents is caused by one knot after another.

It wasn't until, after we went to the second floor and the first floor and looked at a lot of typewriters, that the child untied the knot.

In our long lives, we have experienced many things before we can achieve true reconciliation with our parents.

We wandered aimlessly along the ladder, from top to bottom, but there was always something surprising to find.

About the second floor, passing by a shop in the "Kono Art Center". The shopkeeper is an elderly man, very humble, and after a long chat with me, I learned that this shop is not small.

Chen Kezhi, a native of Jiangjin, Chongqing, is a famous contemporary artist. He became famous at the age of 19 and later went abroad to develop, and his art spread throughout The East and the West. In 1997, chongqing was directly under the jurisdiction of the city, and his oil painting "Three Gorges Morning Song" was collected by the Chongqing Hall of the Great Hall of the People. Later, he won awards in some scary competitions at home and abroad.

Chen Kezhi, who is famous all over the world, opened this shop to feed his hometown, mainly selling his paintings and calligraphy-derived works of art.

The great rivers flow day and night, coming and going into ancient and modern times. Located on the edge of the Yangtze River, Longmen Hao is a brilliant person. In any corner of it, there is a hidden dragon and a Crouching Tiger. Most of the artists and writers who have come out of Chongqing are concerned about the mountain city and the river city, and give back to the hometown that haunts their dreams in their own ways.

Ask yourself, can we in the middle of it have the opportunity and ability to add bricks and tiles to Chongqing and leave a name in history?

The most attractive thing about the old street is its lively energy, the quiet fireworks in the middle of the bustle, and the traditional snacks in the ordinary alleys.

At that time, it was more than five o'clock in the afternoon, and to be honest, I was not hungry, but the children were hungry fast, clamoring for food. Because I ate a vegetarian meal at noon, at this time, I had to eat meat. Adults are happy to hear the words - they are not afraid of children eating, they are afraid that children will not eat. Visiting the ancient town, this worry can be solved.

At the entrance of the alley inside and outside, there is a pair of drifting bears. In 2020, the largest flood in history flowed through Chongqing, and longmen Hao's small bear burned all over the network.

Behind the bear, there are small shops. The first one on the right hand side, buy fried crispy meat, fried lotus pods and other snacks. "Try my family's, and make sure you come back next time!" Although the owner is old, he is enthusiastic and gracious. Seeing this, we were suspicious and bought a crispy meat and a fried potato.

To tell the truth, for the food of tourist attractions, the Chinese people have learned more, no need to say more. But the taste of this shop is real, and it is really not put anymore. After eating one, I bought two more! And the beef offal diagonally opposite the small shop is also delicious!

I am extremely fortunate that the climax of this wandering is actually a snack, the satisfaction in the stomach, and the affirmation of the child. Snacks, this is the real essence of Longmenhao!

Old streets, old people, old shops, old things. Longmen Hao Old Street, resurrecting your childhood, placing your nostalgia, sticking to your family affection.

Here, it is a good place to overlook the "character water lantern" and experience "upstream paradise, suzhou and Hangzhou under it, and chongqing's brilliant lights in the middle". Especially those who like to look at beautiful women, those who are in love, and even those who plan to go on a blind date, Longmen Hao is destined not to be missed.
