Chapter 56: If you don't forget, there will be echoes(1/2)

(I posted a post on my recommendation. If you are interested, you can check it out in the related section of the work. Three-in-one update)

Cheng Mo spent an hour alone in the maze on the second floor, and then wandered around the Qin Shihuang Mausoleum for more than two hours with great interest before returning to the main body. The reason why he was so interested was because Cheng Mo discovered the underground maze of Qin Shihuang's Mausoleum.

In fact, it is very interesting. The scenes in each room reflect the historical situation of the Qin Dynasty at that time, from common people to wealthy businessmen, from the ruling class to myths and legends, covering all aspects of the Qin Dynasty. It is of great help to future generations to understand the history of the Qin Dynasty.

helpful

Cheng Mo even tasted the wine of the Qin Dynasty. Cheng Mo guessed that it was brewed from glutinous rice, sorghum, and barley. It was not high in alcohol content and had a bitter taste. Since he drank wine, he had to taste the Qin Dynasty's "delicacies", such as kebabs.

The taste is worse than that of wine. It has only a little salty taste and is very fishy. Even a non-picky person like Cheng Mo finds it difficult to swallow.

To put it this way, even if a modern person is a fool, he can instantly kill Qin Shihuang's quality of life.

In addition to being interested in history, Cheng Mo was a little curious about whether these mazes existed in the real Mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang. Logically speaking, they should not exist. The restored model of Qin Shi Huang's Mausoleum that Cheng Mo saw during the day did not have these mazes, but only the corridors outside the maze.

But according to Cheng Mo's guess, the maze should exist.

Of course, thinking about these things is meaningless to the Chosen One. Cheng Mo wants to explore the root cause because of his interest and to understand the purpose of the "Chosen One System" to create the "Land of Ruins". Cheng Mo firmly believes that

The choice of "land of ruins" is definitely not blind.

After returning to his original body, Cheng Mo searched the Internet for some information about the Qin Dynasty and the "Soul-Calling Banner". Unfortunately, the Internet is not omnipotent. Even "Du Niang" can't help with such professional and unpopular knowledge.

At noon, Bai Xiuxiu called Cheng Mo for dinner, and went to the "Xianyan Chinese Restaurant" located on the second floor of the hotel. This restaurant only has eleven independent private rooms, all of which have luxurious views facing Qujiang Pool. Bai Xiuxiu ordered

It is the most expensive one, "Ziyan". To be honest, two people eating in a private room of more than 200 square meters feel so luxurious that they feel lonely.

In addition to the 180-degree beautiful view of Qujiang Pool, the room is filled with various artworks, creating a modern feel of the prosperous Tang Dynasty.

The foie gras made into a cherry shape melts in your mouth; the crystal crab meat jelly with champagne has a very complex taste, but it also gives the taste buds an extremely wonderful enjoyment; the Hokkaido milk steamed yam is so soft and sweet that it is hard to believe that yam can actually

So delicious.

In addition, there are caviar suckling pig slices, Chang'an special gourd spring chicken and Tianzhu special curry lobster. Bai Xiuxiu ordered a large table again. Although Bai Xiuxiu doesn't eat much, Bai Xiuxiu likes to watch others eat!

During the meal, Bai Xiuxiu only tasted all the dishes. Even though the portion of "Xianyan" food was not large, Cheng Mo could see that Bai Xiuxiu was quite satisfied, but Bai Xiuxiu still only tasted it briefly, which made Cheng Mo confused.

I don’t admire Bai Xiuxiu’s perseverance. Fasting or fasting is an extremely painful thing. For ordinary people, the endurance of ten days and a month is already the limit. Those who can persist for a long time are simply the rhythm of attaining enlightenment and becoming immortals.

Cheng Mo had to lament that women are willing to pay no matter how high the price is in order to stay young forever.

The sun was shining brightly outside the window, and the waves in Qujiang Pond were sparkling. In addition to the light aroma of food, there was also the aroma of wine in the purple box. Bai Xiuxiu asked Cheng Mo to exercise his drinking ability and taught him a series of knowledge about wine.

Including the matching of wine and food, bottle opening etiquette, cup holding posture, etc.

Cheng Mo also studied seriously. For a person who is going to be an undercover agent, this is relatively practical knowledge.

When the meal was over and the tofu pudding dessert was served, Bai Xiuxiu told Cheng Mo that she would leave Chang'an in the afternoon and return to Star City. After all, she was not as free as Cheng Mo. In addition to Tai Chi Long's affairs, she also had Gao Yun's work to handle.

, the next trip to Chang'an should be on Saturday, when the new students enter the underground palace.

Bai Xiuxiu asked Cheng Mo again if he would return to Star City with her. Although Cheng Mo had to enter the ruins of Qin Shihuang's Mausoleum every night, as long as Cheng Mo did not choose to activate the carrier in a place other than the one where the resurrection point had been marked, he would have to bear more.

The activation fee does not affect Cheng Mo's body to move at will.

In fact, Du Leng and his other colleges are not in Chang'an at the moment, but are all in the capital. They also came here on Friday, entered the "land of ruins" and marked the resurrection point, and then returned to the capital. They completed their studies at school during the day and entered the ruins at night.

land.

Cheng Mo thought about it and decided to stay in Chang'an for a few more days because he wanted to find out some issues about the Qin Dynasty and Qin Shihuang's tomb. The most experienced researcher on the Qin Dynasty and Qin Shihuang's tomb is known as the "Father of Qin Terracotta Warriors"

"Professor Yuan Zhongyi is in Chang'an.

Cheng Mo told Bai Xiuxiu that he wanted her to help contact him, and he got an opportunity to visit Professor Yuan. Bai Xiuxiu naturally did not refuse, but just reminded Cheng Mo that he had a consumption task of 200 million to complete, so he must not forget it.

Thinking of this, Cheng Mo felt confused again, two hundred million! How could he spend it if he was only allowed to buy consumer goods?

Although Cheng Mo knew that Bai Xiuxiu would not allow him to refuse this matter, but thinking that one month was too short, Cheng Mo said: "Sister Bai, I am only a 17-year-old ordinary high school student. It would be too much to become rich overnight."

Isn’t being high-profile too eye-catching?”

Bai Xiuxiu smiled faintly: "When you sat in the Rolls Royce arranged by Xie Minyun for you, why didn't you feel high-profile? Your name is all over Yuelu Mountain, why didn't you feel too conspicuous? Now tell me how to get rich overnight.

Too high-profile and eye-catching?”

Cheng Mo was speechless while holding up the stainless steel spoon. After a long while, he said: "These are completely different things. I always get off the bus in hidden places. As for the Yuelu Mountain sign, who knew it was me?"

"Oh? In that case, I will help you make arrangements clearly. Do you want to win a billion-dollar welfare lottery jackpot, or do you want to inherit a large inheritance from overseas!" Bai Xiuxiu asked pretending to be serious.

Hearing "inheriting a large amount of inheritance from overseas", Cheng Mo's eyes immediately moved away from Bai Xiuxiu's charming face unnaturally, and looked down at the tofu in the blue and white porcelain bowl. The spoon was custom-made and made of mirror stainless steel.

It was as smooth as a mirror, without any scratches, and clearly reflected Cheng Mo's childish face. Cheng Mo quickly inserted the spoon into the white tofu brain to expel his own image from his mind.

"Actually, it's not necessary. I can use my identity as Lin Zhinuo, right?" After finishing speaking, Mo lowered his head and pretended to drink tofu nao.

Bai Xiuxiu looked at Cheng Mo and said softly: "If you want"

Cheng Mo knew that Bai Xiuxiu wanted to ask him if he wanted to know the news about his mother, so he quickly interrupted Bai Xiuxiu without hesitation, "No, I'm fine now, there's nothing I want to know!"

Thinking of the scene where Cheng Mo was drunk yesterday, Bai Xiuxiu just looked at Cheng Mo motionless and didn't speak for a long time. To a certain extent, Bai Xiuxiu and Cheng Mo had the same problem. They both lost their close relatives who could share the weight of life.

So Bai Xiuxiu felt that she could actually understand Cheng Mo's mood.

Bai Xiuxiu just watched Cheng Mo eating a bowl of tofu puffs without saying a word. When Cheng Mo put down the spoon expressionlessly, Bai Xiuxiu's thoughts moved slightly, and her heart of compassion arose spontaneously, and she couldn't help but reach out for a tissue.

He gently wiped Chengmo's mouth and said in an admonishing tone: "Sometimes the more you tell yourself not to miss someone, the more you will miss them, because what you have to make up your mind to do is exactly what you want to do.

It’s something you can’t do no matter how hard you try, so there’s no need to be so deliberate.”

Cheng Mo didn't know why he didn't avoid Bai Xiuxiu's actions, which were like taking care of a child. He let Bai Xiuxiu gently wipe his mouth clean. When Bai Xiuxiu put down his hand, Cheng Mo raised his head, his face full of calmness, and said with waves

He said in a calm tone: "I think you are happy only when you miss something like this and you can get a response. If you just miss someone one-sidedly, it will be a kind of sadness no matter whether the other person is alive or dead."

This time, Bai Xiuxiu did not get angry because Cheng Mo reflected on her. Instead, she smiled and said, "Missing this kind of thing is not as unbearable as you said. Don't dwell on the past. Just take out those unhappy episodes and chew them over and over again.

.I miss the happiness I once had. As the saying goes, if you never forget it, there will be an echo. Bring a pot of wine, light a lamp, and listen to the rain. If there is rain, there will be traces. If there is a lamp, there will be people. If there is wine, there will be soul."

Bai Xiuxiu recited one of her favorite lines from "The Grandmaster" and then picked up the red wine glass on the table. Her slender and round arms half-raised the crystal glass with the ruby-like color of the wine, covering half of her cheeks.

A pearl pendant earring swayed on the side of Bai Xiuxiu's flawless and beautiful face, while on the other side, grape wine swayed in a luminous cup, creating a kind of enchanting beauty.

"Actually, memory is just like red wine. Some poor-quality red wine cannot be stored and must be drank within two years; some good-quality red wine, as long as it is properly stored, will taste better the longer it is stored. Look at this bottle of Lafite.

The edge of the liquid has obviously lost its youthful purple color and turned into ruby, so it was probably produced around 2000. 2000 was a good year for Lafite, so the price of Lafite in 2000 is also quite high." Bai Xiuxiu spins

He touched the cup in his hand and looked at the swaying wine inside.

Cheng Mo also raised the glass, tilted the glass slightly like Bai Xiuxiu, at an angle of about 30°-45°, and observed the color of the edge of the wine in the glass, "The price is just the meaning given to it by humans, just like the meaning given to thoughts by humans."

Likewise, the present moment is the most important. If it tastes good enough at this moment, it means it is really good. The person sitting in front of you at this moment is the person who can make you feel happy. Only then can you be truly happy. You don’t need to pin the taste on an empty price.

Just like don’t pin your happiness on empty thoughts.”

Cheng Mo would never give in to being reasonable.

Bai Xiuxiu drank all the wine in the glass in an unaristocratic way, and then she put down the glass. A light blush appeared on her plain white face, making her look even more radiant, "It's not nothing! For me

It is said that missing you is a fragmented puzzle composed of the sweet life in the past. Missing you just makes my memory more complete. I don’t want no one to remember him in the future. While I am still young and can still meet people, I can spend more time with him during Qingming.

Have a few drinks, and when I get old that day, I won’t go to see him anymore and let my daughter go.”

Only then did Cheng Mo understand why Bai Xiuxiu was so afraid of growing old, but what surprised him even more was Bai Xiuxiu's last words. Even though he was surprised, Cheng Mo could still ask calmly: "Do you have a daughter?"

Bai Xiuxiu picked up the decanter placed on the marble table and poured herself a glass of wine again, "Not yet, but there will be in the future. I have frozen my eggs and am looking for a suitable person. If my age allows, I will do in vitro fertilization. If not, I will do in vitro fertilization."

Just look for a surrogate."

Cheng Mo naturally would not let go of this opportunity to leave a mark on Bai Xiuxiu's heart, "Then you don't have to look for me, there is no one more suitable than me."

Bai Xiuxiu rudely ignored Cheng Mo's self-confidence and scoffed: "Don't tell me that you are not handsome enough, are you a heart patient who has lacked love since childhood? Let's forget it."

Cheng Mo didn't mind Bai Xiuxiu's ridicule, shook his head and said as if he was self-promoting: "It is true that my heart disease is hereditary, but the current gene editing technology can eliminate this. I think with this little money

It's nothing. In addition, if what you call 'suitable' means the best, I think you are mistaken. The best does not mean the most suitable. You should know that the species that can survive in this world are never the most suitable.

Strong ones, such as dinosaurs, but those species that can best adapt to changes, such as humans. People like me who can survive in extreme environments are enough to prove my 'fitness'!"

Bai Xiuxiu picked up her straight and beautiful eyebrows, and said in the tone of a rich woman who is picky about jewelry that is not up to her level: "In this case, then you should try your best to prove it to me! Anyway, I am still young, not

urgent."

After all, Cheng Mo's moral practice is not as profound as Bai Xiuxiu's. Even though he said a lot of presumptuous words when facing Bai Xiuxiu recently, he still dare not look at Bai Xiuxiu's swaying eyes at this moment. He just feels that Bai Xiuxiu's coercion and teasing are really exposed, even if it is just like this.

A simple gesture of raising an eyebrow can make people's hearts flutter.

Although Cheng Mo retreated again, Cheng Mo would never do such a thing as admitting defeat. In any case, since he had started this extremely difficult challenge, he could not give up halfway, so Cheng Mo considered it for a moment, lowered his brows and said: "I will

I’ll prove it to you, so don’t worry, be sure to wait for me.”

Cheng Mo spoke softly, but his tone was very firm.

Cheng Mo's words made Bai Xiuxiu's expression freeze for a moment, but she quickly turned her body slightly as a joke and reached out to rub Cheng Mo's hair, "Hey! Don't be so serious, okay? I'm an old woman in her thirties.

, I can’t wait for you to grow up.”

Cheng Mo unexpectedly reached out and grabbed Bai Xiuxiu's wrist to stop her movement. Bai Xiuxiu's hand was cold and as soft as boneless, "Okay, I don't want you to wait, I will protect you and the little girl in your heart."

'so you won't grow old'

Bai Xiuxiu chuckled lightly at first, then covered her mouth with her other hand. She sat on her chair and laughed, as if she was about to burst into tears.

Cheng Mo had never seen Bai Xiuxiu smile so wildly before. He let go of his hand holding Bai Xiuxiu's wrist and asked, "Is it so funny?"

"It's so funny that you are serious about telling lies or lying about love! Cheng Mo, you have never confessed to a girl, right?" Bai Xiuxiu said while laughing and panting.
