Chapter 76: Putting the Ancients
The people left the prefectural committee courtyard and headed towards the Bajing Street Passenger Transport Center. When they arrived at the site, Xue Xiang suddenly decided to rest, "Fangping, I think we still eat sugarcane sweetly, from the top to the root, from the worst of the scenic spots, slowly see the best, so as not to look at the good first, and then look back, and lose interest."
"Comrade Xue, I only agree with the words "Sweet eating sugarcane" in Dejiang. There is no worst scenery in our Dejiang River. It is famous mountains and rivers everywhere, but it is full of weather and different postures. How can we tell the difference? In the words of foreigners, there are a thousand Hamlets in the eyes of a thousand people. Some people look at Jade Girl Peak, with towering peaks and mountains, which are spectacular. Some people think that Cuiping Mountain is deep in the forest and valleys and hidden in ancient temples is a beautiful scenery. Some people think that Yunjin Lake is vast, the gulls fly, the egrets fly, and the boats fly on it. The small boats are gone from then on, and the rivers and seas are sent to the rest of their lives."
Jiang Fangping is a smart person, but he really doesn't lose to others.
Xue Xiang laughed and said, "It seems that it's mine. In someone's family, they say they are not good, so they are criticized. But I am a native of Dejiang now. Comrade Jiang is well protected. Since it is a good place, we will go from near to far and go to Yunu Peak first."
As Xue Xiang praised him, Jiang Fangping was so happy that he went up to buy the ticket. Dai Yubin lowered his head, his face was carefree, but he sighed in his heart that there was no simple person who could make a fortune in the Administration.
Previously, he was sitting on the bench in the Administrative Office, but he never found that the serious Director Jiang's ability to observe his expression was so amazing, but now, this person has repeatedly thought about things ahead and can lead the leader away. This kind of prediction ability is really important for being a secretary.
Dai Yubin was making up for his dedication, and Jiang Fangping bought a ticket back. The seventh train, the last row, the town seats are in good location!
After an hour and a half of bumps, people finally got off the bus in the small town at the foot of Jade Girl Peak. The old saying goes, "Looking at the mountain and running to death, it's true that you are talking about it!"
On weekdays, Mr. Xue stood in front of the window and stared at the Jade Girl Peak. The Jade Dragon was in the sky, and he felt that this mountain was right in front of him. But if he really wanted to go to the land, he had to use so much effort and still could not enter the mountain. It turned out that the town was more than ten miles away from the foot of the mountain.
In fact, the Yunu Peak is only half a mile away from the town. But there is a tributary of the Minjiang River. In the past, the Yunu Peak scenic spot has not been developed. There is no one entering the mountain. There is no bridge connecting the mountain at the foot of the mountain. Every time you want to enter the mountain, you have to walk around for more than ten miles. This is actually the same as Xue Xiang can see the Yunu Peak in his office, but it takes so long to actually get here. It is ultimately a traffic problem.
Jiang Fangping is Lao Dejiang. He has been here many times. He has to go up the mountain this time, but he does not need to be led by a local snake. When he arrived at the foot of the mountain, he went to the farmer to buy a straw hat and hat. He said that there is a spring in the Yunu Peak, and the water vapor is steaming. If he doesn't bring this thing, there is no difference between following a steamer. If he keeps it for a while, he has to soak his clothes soaked.
As the saying goes, if there is demand, there is a market. The mountain people, no matter what economic policies your central government implements, their private economy was held vigorously a few years ago.
Look, several families at the foot of the mountain each lined up several simple stalls in front of the door. The stalls were all equipped with things to enter the mountain, straw straw hats to avoid wetness, barley wine to drive away the cold, sharp steel forks to protect the body, and green bamboo sticks to climb the mountain.
Unexpectedly, the business was good in such a simple stall in a wilderness. Before Xue Xiang and others arrived, there were already several young men and women with a look of life. In front of the stall, they bargained with a gray-haired but energetic old farmer. These six young men with appearance seemed to have traveled into the mountains. Some had drawing boards, some held piccolos, and some carried food and bed sheets.
Seeing this scene, Mr. Xue was very relieved and thought to himself that the scenery of Jade Girl Peak is extraordinary, otherwise, how could it cause young people to come to climb the steep climb in groups.
As soon as those young people went, Xue Xiangren also arrived at the stall. Originally, according to Mr. Xue's intention, there would be no need to be such trouble to enter the Jade Girl Peak. However, Jiang Fangpingyan said that the Jade Girl Peak was surging because of the surfing springs and the water in the mountains was heavy. If he did not wear a straw hat, he would definitely get wet when he entered. Maybe he would sit down and get sick, so he found this place.
Xue Xiang did not expect that the old farmer here would do business and had a good ability to follow the market. He had a straw hat, a polished green bamboo stick, and a gourd barley wine that Mr. Xue had specially asked for in order to taste the new things. In the words of the old farmer, the barley wine was given by him after he was born again and again, otherwise he would not be able to take these things.
Mr. Xue took advantage of Dai Yubin's payment opportunity and had a few conversations with the old farmer, mainly asking about the transportation in the mountains and the guests who visited every day.
The old farmer has lived here for decades and is familiar with the Jade Girl Peak. When Xue Xiang asked her, maybe no one had chatted for a long time, she talked about the scenery in the mountains and said that although the road is rugged, tourists who come here every day cannot get up. She also said that this place is just one of the entrances to the mountain. Within a radius of ten miles, there are more than a dozen entrances to the mountain. He guarded the Jade Girl Peak, but with the coffin book for the second half of his generation, the old woman on one side kept coughing, and obviously she could not stand the old farmer showing off her wealth.
After getting the news from the old farmer, the man stopped and waited to say goodbye. Before he took a few steps, he heard the old farmer shouting behind him, "Several guests, you can go anywhere. It is said that you should not go to Liupanshui. There are big animals in the mountains. A few days ago, I took away a piglet from my old man. Be careful when entering the mountains. Don't panic when you encounter big animals. There are many wild animals in the mountains, and there is no shortage of food for big animals. You guys, as long as you don't panic, it dares not mess with you!"
After Xue Xiangren said thanking the old farmer, he turned to the mountain pass, walked a few more steps, climbed up a slope, and disappeared from the old farmer's sight.
It was nearly nine o'clock, and the scorching sun rose into the sky, and the sun shone through the dense forest. The halo was fading early, casting a thin shadow of gold, sprinkling on the moist moss.
The scenery between the mountains is not the weather outside the mountains. When you enter here, you feel like you are surrounded by an extremely high-power aerator. The fresh air makes people feel relaxed and happy, and they can't help but head towards the greener mountains.
Jiang Fangping has been to this Jade Girl Peak many times. This time he entered the mountain, he led him in front of his head. A green bamboo stick in his hand covered the smell of the old mountain guest. Sometimes he broke away the thorns and identified it well, and sometimes he knocked out the whistling sound, shocking the little beasts to rush. What's more, he always used this green bamboo stick to pick up thick and fat lazy snakes, which surprised Old Xue.
Dai Yubin was stunned and blurted out, "Director Jiang, if you are not an official, our Jade Girl Peak has been developed. It is more than enough for you to be a tour guide here."
As soon as he finished speaking, Dai Yubin regretted it and said to a person who was determined to be an official, why didn’t he become an official? Isn’t this just being scolded?
Jiang Fangping, who was not very stubborn, was not angry at all this time and said happily, "Xiao Dai, you are saying this. Speaking of this Jade Girl Peak, I am very familiar with it. Earlier, I joined the team in Heishui County. At that time, I was the forest ranger of this Jade Girl Peak. I was very familiar with this Jade Girl Peak. Look at my ability to find snakes in the grass. I was able to practice it at that time. Alas, I haven't entered the mountains for more than ten years, and my skills are unfamiliar. If I had not been to the mountains in the past few years, I would not have been so troublesome to clean up these reptiles. After passing the cane, I would just click on it on seven inches and beat it to death. It would be delicious again at noon..."
Older people like to talk about the past, let alone Jiang Fangping's green years were catching up with the great changes that burned passion, so there were naturally more topics to talk about, and this was more talkative.
Walking in the mountains, although the air is fresh and the scenery is excellent, the empty mountains are silent and a bit creepy. Jiang Fangping is willing to present the ancients, and Xue Xiang and Dai Yubin are also interesting to listen to, and from time to time they talk to him and continue.
"... In 1958, Director Liu, the newly appointed Dejiang Revolutionary Committee, issued an instruction to take the Jade Nv Peak as the smelting rear of the two blast furnaces of Baofeng, Heishui, No. 7 and No. 8, which means that the Jade Nv Peak, which is next to these two counties, will be cut off all the firewood used as blast furnaces. Director Liu is a newcomer, and he didn't know that this Jade Nv Peak is a barrier to cross Guang'an. Where is Guang'an? It is the famous coal black in Sichuan. If this Jade Nv Peak is gone, the entire Dejiang River will be dyed black by the coal ash scraped from Guang'an. But at that time, Director Liu didn't listen. He took the central government's policy to make a big stick and cleaned up all the opposing people. Seeing that the Revolutionary Committee was bound to die, he wanted to use the Jade Nv Peak. At that time, Director Xia, the Forestry Bureau, sneaked his sons and his old disciples into the mountain overnight."
"That night, I heard a few cannons. The next morning, everyone discovered that the Wupanshui suddenly changed the route and became Liupans, blocking the original mountain. Now, I was going to cut down trees. There was a Little Minjiang River in front and Liupanshui River on it. It was gone at all. I couldn't move. At that time, Director Liu was so angry that he directly withdrew Director Xia. During the turmoil, Director Xia was even punished for this. At that time, I secretly thought it was not worth it for Director Xia. But a few years ago, when Director Xia passed away, the funeral team lined up dozens of miles. When the burial was buried, the entire Dejiang old surname was almost there, with more than 100,000 people, and everyone was wearing hemp. Almost the cemetery was flattened. That day, all Dejiang was almost filial. Director Xia's generation was worth it..."
Jiang Fangping's voice was choked as he spoke, and Mr. Xue and Dai Yubin were also moved. (To be continued)
