A Lan saw the car drive away and immediately hugged Han Yuan, exclaiming, "Brother, you're too awesome! You are the hero in my heart, the great hero! "
"Hur hur, you have broadened your horizons!" Han Yuan hugged A'Lan and laughed. "Big bro was more skilled when he was young. It wasn't a problem for me to deal with five or six of them by myself, but now I'm not as good as I was in the past."
"He's good enough now! I've never seen a man as powerful as you around me! " Lan Chong said respectfully, "Brother, you really know how to do all sorts of things!"
Ha ha — "Han Yuan laughed heartily. Since his beloved woman praised him so highly, he was naturally overjoyed." You praised your brother to the point of turning him into a flower! "How could I be that good? I only know a few kung fu techniques, while literature is not so good —"
"Brother, in my heart, you are not a flower, but a great tree with lush foliage." Ah Lan laughed. "Mighty and majestic, magnificent —"
"Haha, isn't it the same as the thousand-year-old banyan tree in the forest park?" Han Yuan laughed.
"Yes, just like that. Unique and unparalleled!" A'Lan nodded.
"Hehe, silly girl, then bro is an old tree. I'm so old that I'm getting goose bumps, and you still like me?" Han Yuan said.
"Of course not, you have the grandeur of an ancient banyan tree, but you have the skills of a young person! "Brother, you are at the prime of your life, the prime age for a man. Meeting you at this time is the greatest fortune of my life …"
"Hehe, silly girl, I'm not as good as you make me out to be." Han Yuan looked at her and said, "Look, I have nothing right now. Even a small company belongs to an old lady. As a man, isn't this rather a failure?"
"Not a single failure, just starting from the beginning!" Ah Lan laughed. "Mudao is as good as iron. Now that I've taken the first step, I'll start all over again."
"Beginning from the beginning. The azure mountains are like the ocean, and the setting sun is like blood — —" Han Yuan continued.
"Haha …"
Both of them laughed heartily. Han Yuan's ambition to start over surged. At this moment, he embraced A Lan, feeling that his future was filled with hope and his heart full of strength!
"Go, girl, we are still more than 100 kilometers away from the closest bridge —" Han Yuan pulled A Lan's hand and got into the car.
After getting rid of that hateful stalker, they once again drove on the road, and the two of them felt extremely at ease.
A Lan wanted to drive and let Han Yuan rest for a while. Han Yuan didn't let him at all. How could he let a woman drive while a man sat in the car?
"Have a good rest, I'll call you when it's time —" Han Yuan said.
A'Lan was indeed a little tired from sitting down, so he closed his eyes and rested for a while.
She straightened the seat and lay down comfortably, taking a good rest.
Han Yuan concentrated on driving, wearing the headphones and listening to the light music. Looking at the sleeping beauty beside him, he felt extremely happy.
More than an hour later, the car arrived at its destination: the Lifestyle Arch Bridge – the Ascending Bridge.
The car had to stop on the road near the bridge and then walk a kilometer or so to get on the bridge.
Initially, they thought that this place was deserted. To think that there would be people like them who enjoyed looking for new paths to visit the bridges. There were already a few off-road vehicles parked nearby.
"Girl, here we are!" Han Yuan pinched A Lan's earlobes. "Lazy cat, you slept so deeply —"
Ah Lan stretched, opened his sleepy eyes and looked around. "Brother, where are we?"
"We've arrived at the bridge. The Longevity Arch Bridge —" Han Yuan said, "Let's drink some water and eat some rations first. Then we'll find a place to liberate ourselves and walk up to the bridge —"
"En," Ah Lan nodded. "Brother, I want to drink some water."
Han Yuan unscrewed the cap of the bottle and handed it to A Lan.
Lan rinsed her mouth before taking a few sips.
The two of them got off the car and walked to an empty field. They couldn't help but open their arms and embrace Qing Feng and the beautiful scenery.
The landscape before him had begun to glow with autumn. There was a hint of yellow in the lush green of the mountains, and the distant bridge was set up in a mountain gorge, a picturesque green.
"Truly beautiful beyond compare!" Ah Lan sighed. "The people who spend their days in the reinforced concrete jungle are feeling oppressed. Coming here feels like their souls are flying —"
"Where did it fly to?" Han Yuan walked over and asked while holding her waist.
"He's … gone to outer space." Ah Lan laughed.
"Hehe, that won't do. Your heart belongs to me. Hurry up and take it back!" Han Yuan touched her soft heaving heart and said, "Let me see if he's still here."
"You're so annoying." Ah Lan smirked and hit his hand. "You don't behave for even a minute."
"You're right, I've never been honest —" Han Yuan laughed. "My mom said that ever since I was young, I've been dishonest —"
"Good, so you're just being honest on the surface, but deep down in your bones, you're actually …"
"Nonsense, don't say that!" Han Yuan gagged her mouth and pressed his lips tightly against hers. "I'm the only one dishonest with you —"
A Lan's cheeks once again felt hot. It was really strange. Every time she was teased by Han Yuan like this, her face and ears would turn red and her heart beat faster, as if she had returned to that season of her first love.
The two of them kissed in the empty wilderness once again.
A Lan was still a little hesitant. After all, there might be people around, but Han Yuan was not afraid at all. Who would know a person in such a desolate place? Afraid of gods and horses? What if someone saw it? What he would normally not dare to do in the city, he would even dare to do here!
At night, he even prepared to have a good night's fight with A Lan. That would be exciting enough!
After eating for a while, the two of them couldn't help but laugh.
Even though they were not in their twenties yet, they were so passionate together that they couldn't control themselves.
Lan took out some dry food from the car and they started to eat.
It was already half past two in the afternoon.
"Let's go, we'll watch the sunset on the bridge in the afternoon and camp on the bridge in the evening. We'll let you experience the freshness and excitement of being treated as a bed in the day —" Han Yuan carried his bag on his back and led Ah Lan towards the bridge.
"Brother, is it not safe to camp here at night?" A'Lan asked fearfully.
Were there wolves or wild beasts in this mountain?
"Afraid of gods and horses? With big bro here, you don't have to be afraid of anything! " Han Yuan laughed. "Don't worry, there are no lions, tigers, and wolves here. These animals are all extinct now. At most, there will be foxes or weasels, so there's no need to be afraid —"
"Even weasels are scary!" A'Lan said fearfully.
"Hehe, coward. Sleep under my body tonight, there's no need to be afraid —" Han Yuan laughed.
"You want to crush me to death?" A'Lan said coquettishly.
"If you can't crush her, you can love her to death —" Han Yuan whispered into her ear.
"Brother, you're so bad!" A'Lan hit him again.
"Hur hur, men are not bad, women do not love!" Han Yuan laughed. "Alright, we're almost there! Now I want to tell you about the history of this bridge -- "
A Lan looked at him with a gentle smile. She didn't expect that Han Yuan really did his best to bring her out for fun.
"There are less than 200 existing wooden arcade bridges in China, most of which are located in Shouling, Bingnan, Zhouling, Litian and Qinhe areas in the northeast part of Haixi Province. For thousands of years, after wind and rain, war and accidental fire, 19 are still 'alive', the history of Shouling is said to be the 'home of China's wooden arcade bridge'. In terms of age series, the Shouling Arch Bridge was the most complete. It was built from Qing Qianlong, Jiaqing, Daoguang, Tongzhi, Guangxu and even after the liberation of the Republic of China. It was extremely rare in the whole country. The Shouling Arch Bridge is known as the 'Jurassic Park' in Chinese bridge history by the famous bridge expert Mao Yisheng. " Han Yuan explained as he walked.
"This bridge is called the Shengping Bridge, which was also called the Yokohama Bridge by the local people. It was built in the first year of the Ming dynasty to serve as a national cultural relics protection unit. Liangyuan was rebuilt in the fifth year of Longqing, and Qianlong was rebuilt in the last forty-three years after the destruction of the Qing Dynasty. Repairs were made in 1997. The bridge is 25.4 meters long, 5.6 meters wide, with an arch span of 23.4 meters. The bridge house has four pillars and nine purses. The bridge has a shrine to Kuan Yin and a ceiling fan. Someone wrote, 'Perhaps the only rainbow bridge in the world with a ceiling fan.' "
Hearing Han Yuan's introduction, A Lan felt deep veneration for this seemingly unremarkable bridge.
Even after experiencing so many twists and turns, he was still able to stand up even after hundreds of years. It was still a miracle!
The bridge came from ancient times, and it carried the vicissitudes and heaviness of history. Stepping on it gave off the feeling of having passed through, as if one had also returned to that ancient era.
It was hot outside, but cool on the bridge.
"Girl, have you never been to a place like this before?" Han Yuan asked as he held A Lan's shoulder.
"Yes, my most frequent visit is to the sea village, where there are long-term cooperative farmers from our company. We have to check the cultivation of seafood on a regular basis, and we have to follow up on the seawater and the fodder we put in —" Ah Lan said. "I rarely come from the mountains —"
"I'll bring you here from the mountain, then you can take me from the sea —" Han Yuan said, "We've fused the smell of the mountain and the sea!"
"Very well, next time you will accompany me to the sea village to inspect —" Lan said happily.
The two of them walked slowly on the bridge for hundreds of years, watching the sun slowly descend from the mountains, slowly turning from hot to gentle, slowly filling the sky with its last rays.
"Brother, look at that beautiful end of the bridge —" Lan pointed at the bridge under the setting sun and said in an intoxicated tone.
Under the setting sun, the entire bridge was covered with gold light, and the sound of flowing water could be heard. The surrounding jade green was also covered with a golden light, and the ancient bridge seemed to stand straight up in the sky, as though one was in a fairyland.
"Brother, I feel like I'm a fairy …"
"Then I'm Dong Lang —"
"Haha, Dong Lang is not as good as you are," A Lan hugged his neck and laughed. "You are not Dong Lang. You are my only beloved brother — —"
"Ouch, goosebumps!" Han Yuan intentionally smiled.
"Heh heh, it just so happens that I fell onto the ground," Lan laughed heartily. "I'll let you have a mush, so you won't allow me to have a mush?"
"Of course, more. I like listening to —" Han Yuan held her in his arms and said, "This feeling is too blissful, I've never felt —"
"Me too," Lan said happily.
The two of them were on the bridge, not caring about the gazes of others at all.
The sun went down and the weather quickly cooled down. Han Yuan took out his jacket and put it on A Lan.
The two of them continued to stroll through the mountains and set up a tent in a dry and open area. This was their "love nest" for the night.
