Chapter 30: Stones Float on Clouds
Cleaning the yard is such a depressing job! Especially when the yard is full of gravel.
When Long Liexue danced with Long Teeth and completely decomposed the only big bluestone in the yard that could stand, Long Liexue discovered that there was no place to settle in the yard. The clean and tidy yard in the past had completely disappeared. Now his yard is more like a quarry than a quarry. The gravel that is as small as melon seeds and as big as a watermelon can be pulled, and there are no trucks of broken arms and bodies of stone people and stone mills, and there is absolutely no one to pull out.
Of course, Long Liexue would not be so stupid as to get these things by himself. If you only rely on one person, you can get these things done and then "moved" them away, then you won't have three or five days to think about it. Long Liexue doesn't feel that he has three or five days to spend with these stones, but not even three or five hours. Just tonight, Long Liexue has something to do. One question in his heart, Long Liexue wants to know the answer tonight. Long Liexue is not the kind of person who likes to put questions in his stomach and rot!
Today’s time: Monday, July 7, 1997, the lunar calendar, Ding Chou, Ding Wei month, Gengxu month, June 3, Xiaoshu, the Christmas of the Dharma Protector Weituo Zuntian Bodhisattva.
I called someone who praised her fish soup for being delicious last night. In less than 10 minutes, three trucks had already stopped in front of the door of Long Liexue's house. A group of people got out of the car, dusty. They were from Cao Tianyun's quarry. They were no strangers to Long Liexue's house. In the past, they often sent big bluestones. The "generosity" of Long Liexue's family always made these simple people smile shyly. The workers all said in private that if you want to smoke a good cigarette, you should send stones to the Long family.
Although he was a little surprised that Long Liexue would arrive so soon, Long Liexue didn't think much about it. There were still more than four top-quality purple-shelled clouds in the house, Long Liexue took out them. The workers and several drivers' faces immediately burst into laughter, and Long Liexue also smiled.
After soaking a pot of tea, Long Liexu rushed to the kitchen, and there was a depressing job waiting for him - washing dishes! Even if your "Star Broken Art" breaks through the tenth floor, the dishes and chopsticks that were eaten after eating would not be cleaned, right? Unless you are God!
Long Liexue was in the kitchen, and a bunch of workers outside were "working" the pile of stones in the yard. Thinking that before he came, his boss had given me solemn instructions in the morning. Although the workers did not understand very much, they still did it-"This time, you will go away all the things that can be moved in his yard, and don't even leave anything as big as a needle, especially those broken stones and stone mills, who have moved them all for me. It's too late, so I put more thatch in the car first and be careful on the road.
, Don't break it, come back and add a month's bonus to you!" At first, when the boss said this, the workers thought that their boss was crazy, it was not a bit of broken stones. Is it worth it? But looking at the golden eyes on his boss's face and the old fox-like smile, the workers began to wonder if they were crazy or not. So, after the boss carefully repeated it, the workers understood that they were not crazy, and the boss could not be crazy. That was definitely the stones that might be "crazy".
If Long Liexue went out to take a look at the car, he would find that the stones he thought he would deal with casually at the quarry were being "carefully" by the workers. The broken limbs and broken arms of the stone men were even more "preferential". The two big cards that were loaded with them were covered with thick thatch to prevent them from being damaged during transportation.
Perhaps it was because of those top-notch clouds or something else that the workers were very motivated. In less than an hour, the yard was completely "sweeped". It was not too much to use the word "sweeped". At this time, there was really no stone as big as a needle on the ground in the yard.
At around four o'clock, the three "returned back" trucks left and the house was ready. Long Liexue ate something, took a shower, changed into clothes, and left the house. The place he was going was a little far away...
Fengkou Town, Dazhou Mountain, is about 70 miles away from Robin County, which is about 35 kilometers. The "li" that the elderly are used to call is mostly "Huali", while the "li" that young people like dragon blood usually refer to generally "kilometers". The old people always have more feelings for old things than the new ones.
When Long Liexue arrived in Fengkou Town, the sun had just set the foot of the mountain. The clouds on the mountain in the distance were like waves of fire, pounced out from the sky layer by layer, making the earth covered with a faint crimson. The crimson mountains, crimson trees, crimson grass, crimson flowers, crimson waves, crimson roads, crimson tiles... Such a gorgeous and almost weird sunset, even Long Liexue was stunned.
The car stopped, and the taxi driver stretched his head out from the window on the left of the cab and looked into the sky. Immediately, his face turned red, "This weather is a bit weird!"
Long Liexue smiled. He didn't believe in evil. After paying double the money, Long Liexue got out of the car. A stream of white smoke appeared on the taxi's butt, and he drove around the road without looking back. From Robin to here, one was a bit far away, and the other was that the road was not easy to walk. Ordinary taxi drivers were unwilling to come. Of course, if there was double the fare, it would be a different matter.
Dazhou Mountain is a mountain like two hump peaks. Like most mountains here, it is not famous for its height and steepness. It makes many people know that Dazhou is because of the water and fruits here. In terms of figuratively, the shape of Dazhou Mountain is really a coincidence, just like the camel's hump is used to store water. The belly of Dazhou Mountain seems to be filled with water. There are many springs on the mountain here, some are as big as wellheads, while others are only
As thick as a thumb, among the stones on the mountain, you can see the gurgling springs everywhere. The springs in Dazhou Mountain are very clear and sweet, and the beautiful water makes the mountains beautiful. The trees and fruit forests everywhere on Dazhou Mountain prove this. The fruits, peaches, plums, and pears here are as sweet as the water here. Fengkou Town is located at the foot of the mountain between the two "cam peaks" of Dazhou Mountain. Half a town is at the foot of the mountain, half a town at the foot of the mountain, half a town
On the hillside, it is said to be a town, but in fact there are less than a hundred families, which is smaller than some villages. People say that they rely on the mountains to eat the mountains, and this is absolutely true. Not to mention anything else, Fengkou Town is the only one that does not have a tap water pipe within a radius of 100 miles. But many places where tap water pipes are envied here. Here, everyone's houses are more than ten steps away from each other, and three or five steps away from each other, and two are clear all year round.
Mountain streams wind through this small Fengkou Town and flow back and forth. The gurgling sound of the stream can always add a bit of tranquility to the town. The people in Fengkou Town do not farm, but only plant trees. With this Fengshui treasure land, everyone is planting fruit trees. The fruits of Fengkou Town in Dazhou Mountain are also well-known. Every year, when the fruits are ripe, a large number of merchants will naturally come here to pick up goods. Therefore, the people in Fengkou Town always live more nourishing than those in other places.
On the side of the road, several fruit stalls were discussing the rare sunset. When Long Liexue asked casually, he knew where Mr. Hu lived.
"Mr. Hu's family, go up the stream at the foot of the mountain. The one at the end of the town has a large yard and a pair of brass lion-headed knockers on the door is Mr. Hu's family!"
Judging from the tone and expression of Mr. Hu here, Mr. Hu is very respected here. If you really want to say it, Mr. Hu may be more famous than the mountains and rivers here.
Half of Fengkou Town is built on the hillside. The biggest feature here is that there are a lot of water and trees. Almost every household will plant one or two trees behind the front and back of each door. In addition to trees, people here also seem to like to plant honeysuckle. After almost a few steps, you can smell the scent of the lush and elegant honeysuckle in the air. The roads here are also paved with small stones. Unlike Xiaogou Village, the stones here are all inlaid on the cement surface, which look neat and beautiful, and can also play an anti-slip role.
Following the stream guided by the villagers, in less than a few minutes, Long Liexue had found Mr. Hu's home. Before he even walked to Mr. Hu's door, he knew that it was Mr. Hu's home, because Mr. Hu was standing at the door of his house, with white robes and belts, facing the direction of Long Liexue, he smiled slightly, as if he had been waiting for a long time, and Mr. Hu's home, two vermilion-red doors were completely open. Long Liexue felt that the smile on Mr. Hu's face was like the sunset in the sky today, which was incomprehensible.
Compared to the last time I met in Xiaogou Village, Mr. Hu's spirit was the same as that of Mr. Hu's eyebrows were still black when he was in Xiaogou Village. Now, in just a few months, Mr. Hu's eyebrows turned completely white, with white eyebrows, white beard, and big bald head. Now Mr. Hu has a bit of a fairy-like scent.
Seeing Long Liexue's doubts, Mr. Hu smiled faintly.
"Today, the distinguished guests are here, and the humble room is shining. I am here to welcome you!" Mr. Hu said with a false inspiration.
Long Liexue was a little flattered to Mr. Hu's attitude. Although he didn't have much contact with Mr. Hu, in Long Liexue's impression, Mr. Hu didn't seem to be a person who likes to lower his posture. What made Long Liexue even more difficult to understand was that Mr. Hu seemed to have known that he was coming long ago. Although there were many doubts and questions in his heart, Long Liexue did not show any of it on his face.
Long Liexue smiled slightly, and the smile was filled with spring and white snow, "It's really abrupt that boy came uninvited. Sir, please come first!"
Good demeanor! It seems that all this is God's will! Mr. Hu sighed secretly in his heart.
"Ha...ha..." Mr. Hu laughed, grabbed Long Liexue's arm with one hand, and led Long Liexue into his own door. A young man of fourteen or fifteen years old, stood inside the door. After Mr. Hu and Long Liexue entered the door, he closed the door tightly and inserted the door bolt.
Seeing that his apprentice was curious and widening his eyes and looking at Long Liexue, Mr. Hu slapped the boy's head lightly and heavily.
"This is my apprentice, Yun Sheng!"
After listening to Mr. Hu's introduction, Long Liexu smiled. This handsome boy almost gave him an inexplicable favor as soon as he met. This feeling was very similar to the feeling of being with Xiaopang and the others.
Mr. Hu’s house is big and the yard is bigger, with a bit of the rich and scholarly feeling of the old society. As soon as he enters the gate, he is facing a rockery that is as high as five or six meters high. At the bottom of the rockery is a pool. The water in the pool flows down from the rockery, like a small waterfall. Long Liexu can understand at a glance that the water flowing down from the rockery is completely gushing out from a small natural spring under the rockery. Such an arrangement is really wonderful. In that pool, a few carp, some red and some white, are swimming happily under the small waterfall. Looking at a rockery, you know the owner’s mind!
Mr. Hu pulled Long Liexue and walked towards the inner courtyard.
"If you visit the mountain villages and guests are visiting, there is nothing to be entertained. How about drinking a pot of tea in the old teapot?"
"Sir, you are polite. The Lie Blood is not yet in the year of the year. He is just a boy in the mountains. I really don't know where this "price" comes from. I dare not take responsibility for the sir, so I praise you so much. The sir said I can just say Lie Blood!"
Mr. Hu looked at Long Liexue, and the more heavier the expression of praise in his eyes, he knew the small things. He could see the momentum of the world by looking at a leaf. The young man in front of him was indeed destined to be extraordinary! Since ancient times, the way of heaven is vague, human power is unpredictable, the changes of yin and yang, the changes of yin and yang, the changes of one and the other are coming out, and the cycle of Taoism has already been fixed. It is ridiculous how many people in the world can see clearly. I have been here by chance for decades, and I only feel that the mountains, rivers, stones and stones are beautiful, and I will have something to come out after a thousand years of pregnancy! What I wish in my life really hopes to have the opportunity to see this "out". Unexpectedly, God is really good to treat me. Although I have lost my six years of life, I can finally see a glimpse of the secrets of heaven. Haha... Haha... I have no regrets in this life!
What Mr. Hu thought about Long Liexue at this moment was naturally unknown, but it didn't matter. Now I don't know what Mr. Hu thought about it after a while. He actually thought about going to the hospital to check his birth record and pretending to be his grandfather. He originally thought that there would be any conspiracy in this matter, but he thought about it for a long time, but now he felt that Mr. Hu had no malicious intentions towards him, so let's see what the hell was selling in Mr. Hu's gourd!
Out of a long-term habit, after confirming that he would not be in any danger, Long Liexue still looked at the surrounding environment seriously. For Long Liexue, there was no trace of murderous intent anywhere. On the contrary, this place is quite interesting and artistic. Xiaopang's house is also very big, and there are many things arranged at home, which is not cheap, but in terms of interest and artistic conception, it is really not on the same level as here.
The path between the courtyards is paved with cobblestones. The cobblestones are made into steps, shaped like steps, and there is no connection between them. They are green, yellow, and red. Each cobblestone is the size of an egg, and they are laid on the ground in a staggered manner. Between the pebbles, there are fine grass about two inches high. This arrangement makes you feel comfortable. Thinking about the granite floors in Xiaopang’s yard, I compared it with Long Liexue behind Mr. Hu. I thought about it, and I really have nothing to do with it.
On the land next to the gravel path is a thick green moss, which looks very warm. On the moss, there are some green bushes clustered around it. The bushes wind along the path, but there is no trace of artificial trimming. Everything looks so natural. Between the front yard and the back yard, there is a short corridor connected by the sides of the corridor, and bamboo is planted on both sides. At this moment, the bamboo's green and upright figure is also crossed with a faint crimson. Through the corridor, the back yard is covered with half of the back yard. The smallest back yard is suddenly covered by a pine tree covered with umbrellas. At this moment, the bamboo's green and straight figure is also crossed with a faint blush. After passing through the corridor to the back yard, the small half of the back yard is suddenly covered by a pine tree covered with an umbrella.
Half of it, there are several stone benches with ancient shapes, and a stone table. A half-legged stream turned around the pine tree and flowed along a dark ditch at the foot of the wall to the stream outside the wall. There were fine sand in the stream. In one of the streams, there were a few abrupt stones, all of which were undecorated. The large piece was the size of a cow's head, and the small piece was also the size of a face plate, with edges and angular. At first glance, it seemed indecent, but when you looked closely, it felt extremely natural. This was a stroke of the gods. In this stream, there were actually a few small fish swimming around...
Although I felt that the arrangement in front of me was difficult to find any flaws. But when I saw the fish in the water, Long Liexu couldn't help but have this idea in his mind: "The last destination of these fish is not the kitchen, right?"
Opposite this old pine tree is a small house made of bamboo, built with a single trunk. There is an ancient wooden sign hanging on the door of the trunk, with a few words carved in small seals - "Drinking all the world in one pot"!
This is what Mr. Hu said about Ting Mingxuan!
