Chapter 1410: Journey to the Capital 2
The two of them climbed up the city wall step by step, gritting their teeth.
The sun was at its highest point, and the scorching heat seemed to be free of charge. It was like a blazing flame, pouring down on them without reservation.
Sweat rolled down my forehead like pearls that had broken off the string. In the blink of an eye, my clothes were soaked and stuck to my back, making me feel extremely uncomfortable.
But even so, their eyes still sparkled with wonder and awe for this great building.
It feels like having a silent but soul-shaking conversation with history.
Climb all the way up until you stand on the high city wall and look into the distance. The rolling mountains and the clear, gem-like blue sky and white clouds set off each other, forming a magnificent, majestic and breathtakingly beautiful picture.
The magnificent scenery was like a breeze that blew away all the unpleasantness they had experienced on the way here.
At this moment, all they felt was the intoxication of the beautiful scenery before them and the infinite emotion for the history.
Looking back on this whole day's journey, I started out in the early morning with full expectations, experienced all kinds of twists and turns along the way, and now stand on this city wall and am deeply shocked by the beautiful scenery in front of me. There was sweat, fatigue, and troubles, but more importantly, there were gains and growth.
This day made them deeply feel the meaning of travel, which is not only about the scenery of the destination, but also about the experiences and inner feelings along the way.
They knew that this day's experience would become an unforgettable memory in their lives.
It is worth mentioning that they grew rapidly amidst the setbacks of this journey.
After suffering a few losses, I learned how to plan routes cleverly and how to choose hotels with convenient transportation and excellent locations.
The rest of the journey gradually became smoother, and they were able to enjoy the trip to the capital more and more.
The following trip to the Forbidden City was also full of twists and turns and surprises.
On the way to the Forbidden City, Li Luo and Shi Xinxin learned from previous experience and deliberately avoided rush hour traffic.
Along the way, the subway ran smoothly and quickly, and they arrived at their destination smoothly.
When they stepped into the magnificent palace complex with red walls, yellow tiles and golden splendor, the solemn and dignified royal atmosphere hit them like a surging wave.
The scene before them seemed like a slowly unfolding historical scroll, instantly bringing them back to the distant ancient times.
Holding hands, they walked through palaces of different styles with hearts full of awe and curiosity.
Shi Xinxin was as excited as a happy little bird, her cheeks flushed with a charming blush due to excitement.
She held Li Luo's hand tightly, and her voice was as clear and loud as a silver bell:
"Look, Luo Luo, this is where the ancient emperor and his concubines lived. It's so spectacular!"
Li Luoze had a peaceful smile on his face, his eyes full of admiration and respect for this long-standing history and culture.
She raised her head slightly and gazed at the flying eaves and brackets of the palace, as if listening to the whispers of history.
At that time, time-travel dramas were all the rage, and the two girls were immersed in this ancient atmosphere, fantasizing about whether there would be some magical time-travel journey in this palace.
That longing look seemed to be in another time and space.
However, happiness turns to sorrow.
As they were strolling and admiring the wide square, a seemingly enthusiastic man holding a camera came towards them.
The man had a big smile on his face and took the initiative to express his willingness to help Li Luo and Shi Xinxin take a beautiful tourist photo.
The two were caught off guard and simply thought they had met a kind-hearted person. Not only did they not refuse, they kept thanking the other party.
But when the photo was taken, the man's face suddenly became greedy and hateful, and he asked for 100 yuan.
The two girls were stunned. They never thought they would encounter such a thing and naturally were unwilling to pay this unfair money.
Upon seeing this, the other party immediately showed his vicious side and started to make unreasonable demands, insisting that they pay, and even tried to reach out and pull their backpacks.
Just as the situation was becoming increasingly chaotic and tense, a patrolling uncle in a hat happened to pass by.
The uncle in the hat had sharp eyes and noticed something unusual here, so he walked over with big strides.
His face was serious and his voice was majestic and powerful. With just a few words, he intimidated the guy who was forcing the sale and drove him away without any courtesy.
Afterwards, the uncle in the hat patiently and carefully taught the two little girls some common anti-fraud knowledge and coping methods, reminding them to be more careful when going out.
After all these twists and turns, Li Luo and Shi Xinxin were still frightened, but they were also more cautious and continued their journey to the Forbidden City.
The experience of watching the national flag-raising ceremony is deeply imprinted in their hearts. Whenever they recall it, their hearts are overwhelmed, as if it happened again yesterday.
In the early morning, before the first ray of dawn broke and the whole city was still immersed in the hazy night, they had already arrived at the square early.
This time, the journey to the square was also exceptionally smooth.
They arrived smoothly according to the route planned in advance.
When they arrived at the square, they found that many people from all over the world had gathered there, all waiting quietly with the same reverent mood.
When the solemn and stirring melody of the national anthem suddenly sounded, the bright five-star red flag slowly rose. In the reflection of the morning light, the bright red color appeared particularly eye-catching.
Looking at the slowly rising national flag, Li Luo and Shi Xinxin's hearts were filled with emotion. They were glad that they grew up under the red flag and lived in such a peaceful and powerful country.
This flag seemed to be a symbol of hope and strength, inspiring everyone present and filling their hearts with love and pride for the great motherland. That emotion was like a burning flame, hot and deep.
After the flag-raising ceremony, they couldn't calm down for a long time.
In order to calm their excitement, they decided to spend the next period of time trying some of the capital's special snacks.
The two of them came to several shops that had been planned in advance and tasted various delicacies.
Steaming hot bean juice, crispy and sweet doughnuts, soft and delicate pea yellow...
Every bite is filled with the unique flavor of the capital.
They treasure those beautiful moments deep in their hearts, and they become precious memories of their youth that will never fade.
Now, the end of the world has come and the world has fallen into chaos and desolation.
Li Luo knew without thinking that the current City B must have been destroyed beyond recognition because of the end of the world.
She couldn't help feeling melancholy at the thought that she would never be able to see the unforgettable city in her memory again.
