Coach: Coaching the Grizzlies at the beginning, playing the bantam

The two bought the kite and came to an open space next to the square.

Lu Yong held the kite and Hannah held the spool and started flying the kite.

Lu Yong ran while letting out the string, and the kite gradually flew up under the wind.

Hannah cheered excitedly and ran around following the kite.

"Fly, fly!" Hannah shouted.

Lu Yong handed the spool to Hannah and said, "Try it yourself. If you control the tightness of the line, the kite will fly higher."

Hannah took the spool and carefully adjusted the tightness of the line. Under her control, the kite flew higher and higher, drawing a beautiful arc in the night sky.

Hannah looked at the kite and said, "Look, the kite is flying so high."

Lu Yong walked up to her and kept praising her: "Yes, you are amazing. You flew the kite so easily."

The two of them flew kites in the square and enjoyed this wonderful time.

The noise around them seemed to disappear, leaving only the sound of their heartbeats and laughter.

Before we knew it, it was already late at night and the people in the square gradually dispersed.

Lu Yong and Hannah also put away their kites and walked towards the hotel hand in hand.

Hannah said softly, "Although it rained and there was a power outage at the beginning of today, I was really happy afterwards."

Lu Yong responded lovingly: "Yes, we also experienced a different day in Shuozhou today, right?"

The two returned to the hotel, washed up, and lay down on the bed.

Lu Yong hugged Hannah and quickly fell asleep with a happy smile on his face.

The next morning, Hannah turned over in a daze, stretched out her hand to block the glaring light, and muttered, "Lu Yong, look, the sky is clear!"

Lu Yong was a light sleeper to begin with, and he woke up instantly after being woken up by Hannah's noise.

He rubbed his eyes and looked at the azure blue sky outside the window. The corners of his mouth rose unconsciously. "Wow, it's really sunny now. It's as if the weather knew we were going to check in at the Yingxian Wooden Pagoda today and made it sunny for us."

Hannah sat up from the bed, excited like a child: "Great, I can't wait to see the thousand-year-old tower.

Get up quickly, let's pack up and go."

The two of them quickly washed up, changed into light and comfortable clothes, had a simple breakfast, and set off with their backpacks on.

They took a taxi and drove towards the Yingxian Wooden Pagoda.

Along the way, Hannah kept asking Lu Yong various questions about the Yingxian Wooden Pagoda.

"Lu Yong, is the Yingxian Wooden Pagoda really that tall? I heard that it has a history of more than a thousand years. Can it really be preserved so well?" Hannah was full of anticipation.

Lu Yong smiled and touched her head, then patiently answered: "The Yingxian Wooden Pagoda is the tallest and oldest existing pure wooden structure pavilion-style building in China. It is more than 67 meters high, equivalent to more than floors. Moreover, it has survived so many years of wind, rain and earthquakes, and it is still well preserved to this day. It is simply a miracle. When you get there later, you will see it with your own eyes and you will definitely be shocked by it."

Hannah listened attentively, her chin resting on her hands, her eyes sparkling with longing: "Wow, that must be really spectacular, I can't wait."

As the car slowly approached the Yingxian Wooden Pagoda, they could see the ancient pagoda towering into the clouds from a distance.

Hannah pointed out the window excitedly and shouted, "Lu Yong, look, that's the Yingxian Wooden Pagoda, it's so spectacular!"

Lu Yong looked in the direction of her finger and was shocked by the scene before him.

Under the sunlight, the Yingxian Wooden Pagoda exudes an ancient and solemn atmosphere, as if an old man who has experienced many vicissitudes of life is telling the story of the years.

The car stopped at the entrance of the scenic spot. The two got out of the car, bought tickets, and couldn't wait to walk into the scenic spot.

As soon as they entered the door, the Yingxian Wooden Pagoda appeared more clearly before them.

Hannah looked up with her eyes wide open, looking amazed: "Oh my God, this is too shocking, it's many times more spectacular than I imagined."

Lu Yong looked at her cute appearance and couldn't help laughing: "Well, I didn't lie to you. Let's go over and take a closer look."

As they walked towards the wooden tower, they admired the surrounding scenery.

The scenic area is shaded by green trees, lush flowers and plants, which contrast with the ancient wooden tower, forming a beautiful picture.

Hannah excitedly looked here and touched there, and took out her mobile phone from time to time to take pictures.

"Lu Yong, please take a picture for me. I want to take a picture with Muta."

Hannah ran to a suitable position and struck a cute pose.

Lu Yong picked up his phone, adjusted the angle, and said with a smile: "Okay, look here, three, two, one, eggplant!"

After taking the photos, the two continued walking forward and finally arrived at the foot of the wooden tower.

They looked up at the tall building, their hearts filled with awe.

Hannah reached out and gently touched the pillar of the wooden tower, feeling its rough and heavy texture.

"Lu Yong, how do you think the ancients built such a tall tower? And it's made entirely of wood. That's amazing," Hannah asked curiously.

Lu Yong held her hand and walked slowly around the wooden pagoda, explaining to her as he walked: "The construction technology of the Yingxian Wooden Pagoda is very exquisite. It uses a mortise and tenon structure, and the entire tower can be firmly fixed together without a single nail. And its design is also very clever. The brackets and beams on each floor cooperate with each other, which can not only bear huge weight, but also resist earthquakes and wind and rain."

Hannah nodded repeatedly, her eyes full of admiration: "The ancients were so smart. This is simply a miracle in the history of architecture."

Just as they were immersed in admiration for the wooden pagoda, suddenly, a group of tourists gathered around and started taking pictures of the pagoda and talking about it.

Hannah was squeezed by the crowd and was unable to stand steadily. She leaned towards Lu Yong involuntarily.

Lu Yong quickly put his arm around her shoulders and comforted her softly, "Don't be afraid, I'm here. Let's stand to the side so we don't get squeezed."

The two finally squeezed out of the crowd. Hannah patted her chest and said with lingering fear: "There are so many people. I was almost crushed. But this also shows that the Yingxian Wooden Pagoda is too famous. Everyone wants to see it."

Lu Yong smiled and said, "Yes, the Yingxian Wooden Pagoda is a national treasure of China, attracting countless tourists to visit. Let's go inside and see if there are any surprises."

They followed the crowd into the wooden tower.

As soon as you enter, an ancient atmosphere hits you.

The space inside the wooden tower is very spacious, and each floor has a different layout and decoration.

Hannah was like a little explorer, looking here, touching there, and exclaiming from time to time.

"Lu Yong, look at this mural. It's so beautifully painted and the colors are so bright. It hasn't faded after so many years." Hannah said excitedly, pointing to a mural on the wall.

Lu Yong leaned over to take a look and nodded: "Yes, these murals are precious cultural relics that record the lives and beliefs of the people at that time. Look at the characters in this painting, they are lifelike, as if they are about to walk out of the painting."

The two of them continued to walk up while admiring the murals. Different surprises were waiting for them on each floor.

Some floors are filled with ancient Buddha statues, which are solemn and majestic; some floors have some introductions and historical information about the wooden pagoda, allowing them to have a deeper understanding of the past and present of this ancient pagoda.

When they reached the fifth floor, they suddenly heard a loud noise.

Lu Yong and Hannah walked curiously towards the direction where the sound came from and found a group of people gathered in a corner, seemingly arguing about something.

"What's going on? What happened?" Hannah pulled Lu Yong's hand and squeezed into the crowd and asked.

It turned out that a tourist accidentally dropped his mobile phone into a crack in the wooden tower and couldn't get it out.

The tourist was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot, and was running around in circles: "What should I do? I have a lot of important information stored in my phone. It will be a big trouble if I can't get it out."

People around also offered suggestions, but none of them had a good solution.

Lu Yong looked at the anxious tourist, then looked at the gap, and pondered in his mind.

Suddenly, he had an idea and thought of a solution.

"Don't worry, I have a way to try." Lu Yong said.

Everyone turned their eyes to him. The tourist who lost his phone looked at him eagerly as if he had grabbed a life-saving straw. "Really? What do you have in mind? Tell me now."

Lu Yong took out a thin selfie stick from his backpack, found a small wooden stick, and tied the small wooden stick to one end of the selfie stick with a rope.

He took this homemade "tool" and carefully reached into the gap, trying to hook the phone out.

However, the gap is too narrow, and it is difficult to operate the selfie stick flexibly after inserting it.

The first attempt was unsuccessful.

A look of disappointment appeared on the tourist's face again.

"Don't be discouraged, I'll try again." Lu Yong comforted.

He adjusted his posture and thrust the selfie stick into the gap again. This time, he controlled the strength and direction more carefully, staring closely at the gap.

Time passed minute by minute, and everyone around held their breath and waited quietly.

Finally, with Lu Yong's unremitting efforts, the end of the selfie stick touched the mobile phone.

He gently used a small wooden stick to push the phone towards the gap, and then slowly pulled the selfie stick out.

"It's out, it's out!" Cheers broke out from the crowd.

The tourist was so excited that tears welled up in his eyes. He took the phone and held it tightly in his hand: "Thank you so much, young man. If it weren't for you, I really don't know what I would do. You are really my benefactor."

Lu Yong smiled and waved his hand: "You're welcome, I'm glad I can help you. You have to be more careful next time, don't lose such important things again."

The tourist kept thanking Lu Yong and even took out some money from his wallet to thank Lu Yong.

Lu Yong resolutely refused: "I can't take this money. It's just a small favor. It's not easy for everyone to be away from home. It's only right to help each other."

Everyone around gave Lu Yong a thumbs up and praised him as a kind-hearted person.

Hannah looked at Lu Yong, and the love in her eyes could not be hidden. She held Lu Yong's arm tightly and said softly: "Lu Yong, you have a really smart little brain."

Lu Yong looked at Hannah and said with a smile, "I just happened to think of this idea! Let's go on up and see if there are any more surprises up there."

The two continued to walk to the top floor of the wooden tower.

When they finally reached the top floor, they were stunned by the sight before them.

Standing here, you can have a panoramic view of the entire Ying County.

The mountains in the distance are rolling and set off the blue sky and white clouds; the streets and houses nearby are arranged in an orderly manner, like a beautiful painting.

Hannah excitedly ran to the railing, opened her arms, and shouted: "It's so beautiful, the view is absolutely amazing!"

Lu Yong walked up to her and followed her example, opening his arms and feeling the breeze.

He looked at Hannah and said gently, "Yes, standing on the top of this wooden tower, I feel that all my troubles have been blown away by the wind. Seeing this beautiful scenery with you is the happiest thing for me."

The two of them just stood quietly by the railing, enjoying this beautiful moment.

The sunlight shone on them, and from a distance they looked like characters in a painting.

Tourists came and went, casting envious glances at them from time to time, but they seemed to be in a small world that belonged only to the two of them, and everything in the outside world had nothing to do with them.

After a while, Hannah suddenly said, "Lu Yong, let's take a photo here to record this beautiful scenery and our smiling faces."

Lu Yong smiled and nodded: "Okay, I'll find someone to help us take the photo."

As he spoke, he found a passing tourist, handed him his phone, then pulled Hannah to the railing and posed in an intimate position.

"Three, two, one, eggplant!" As the sound of the camera shutter rang out, this beautiful moment was frozen forever.

After taking the photos, the two held hands and slowly walked down the wooden tower.

Along the way, they were still reminiscing about every moment in the wooden tower, and their laughter echoed in every corner of the tower.

When they walked out of the gate of the scenic area, the sun was already setting.

Then the two smiled at each other, held hands and got into a taxi and drove towards the hotel.

Along the way, Hannah kept sharing with Lu Yong what she saw and felt on the wooden tower today.

"Lu Yong, the Yingxian Wooden Pagoda is truly amazing. When I stood on the top of the pagoda, I felt like I could touch the clouds. And the murals and Buddha statues all seemed to be able to speak, telling ancient stories."

Hannah's eyes were shining and her hands were still gesturing in the air, as if she was still on top of the wooden tower.

Lu Yong smiled and held her hand: "Yes, the Yingxian Wooden Pagoda is indeed a miracle."

In the early morning, the sun shone on the streets of the ancient city of Shuozhou. Lu Yong and Hannah arrived early at a busy breakfast shop nearby.

The breakfast shop was filled with the aroma of various delicacies, steam was rising from the steamer, and sizzling was coming from the frying pan.

Lu Yong took Hannah to an empty seat and asked with a smile, "Hannah, what do you want to eat? There are many specialties here."

Hannah's eyes sparkled as she looked at the unfamiliar names on the menu and said curiously, "I want to try them all. I think they are all very interesting."

After a while, the boss brought breakfast.

There are golden and crispy sugar hemp leaves, exuding an alluring sweet fragrance; there are also steaming hot buckwheat noodle bowls, served with special marinade and chili oil, which make people salivate. (End of this chapter)
