Chapter 60: A Chance Encounter on Tongyuan Mountain

Tongyuan Mountain is located in the northeast corner of MK city, adjacent to Green Lake and backed by Southwest Associated University. It covers an area of ​​more than 30 hectares. Like Green Lake, Tongyuan Mountain is an urban park and a mountain. Every morning, there are always a group of old men and old ladies who come out to exercise early.

However, compared to those old men and old ladies, Chu Zhendong came very early every time, which was a habit he had developed over the years. Every time, when Chu Zhendong came here, there were very few people who exercised early in Tongyuan Mountain.

The same is true today.

When Chu Zhendong came to the gate of Tongyuan Mountain, the thin layer of twilight that would never disappear before the dawn came to the future still enveloped the flowers and trees on Tongyuan Mountain.

There are many vegetation on Tongyuan Mountain, and the most of them are flowers, plum blossoms, cherry blossoms, osmanthus, camellias, roses, waxed crabapples, etc. There are countless. To put it bluntly, no matter when you come here in the year, there are blooming flowers for you to appreciate.

There are many flowers, many trees, quiet, high terrain, good air, and wide area. Before the park opened at 8 o'clock in the morning, there is no ticket for those who come to exercise... All of these characteristics add up to make the elderly nearby who like to wake up in the morning and shake their arms and legs, practice swordsmanship and Tai Chi to choose the place for exercise.

When you enter the door, a hundred steps extend from the mountainside to your feet. There are also small roads shaped like arms on both sides of the steps, which are much easier to walk than steps. However, most elderly people who come here to exercise will choose to climb the steps as their first step to exercise. On the wide steps, there is a layer of water mark left when the dew drops in the morning. This layer of water mark will disappear quickly after the sun comes out. The gate here is facing the east.

"Walking on the steps every day, you can easily live to ninety-nine!" Chu Zhendong gently recited the words that the old people who came here to exercise, while stepping on this long stairs.

After climbing up the steps, his body was slightly hot. Following the path with pandanus trees on both sides that he often walked, Chu Zhendong moved his hands and feet casually, and then ran along the path. When it comes to Chu Zhendong's age, when it comes to running, he is naturally jogging.

At this time, the air on Tongyuan Mountain was very fresh, and all the dust in the air seemed to condense into dewdrops. The dewdrops fell from the leaves of various plants, fell on the road, fell in the soil, and fell in the grass. In the refreshing air, there were the unique flavors of various plants in the morning, including the yellow and mystical cinnamon, white and mystical cinnamon, orchids, the fragrance of sassafras, as well as the freshness of Yunnan pine, betel bark trees, acacia, the sky cypress, and other indescribable smells.

Chu Zhendong, wrapped in such a smell, temporarily forgot the worries in his heart and enjoyed this rare moment wholeheartedly.

Looking at the old man in front of him who was jogging leisurely, it is hard for others to imagine that it was just a few hours ago. It was customary that it was last night, from after supper until two o'clock in the morning. The old man had eyebrows like a knife and a pen like iron. He worked under the desk lamp for more than ten hours, and used more than forty pages of paper, and wrote an article like a gun like an arrow - "Opinions on the eleven o'clock in the reform of today's colleges and universities and the twenty-seven problems in higher education."

A true warrior dares to face a bleak life! Use a sword or a pen!

After jogging around Tongyuan Mountain for a small circle, Chu Zhendong stopped in a place with a small pavilion. The pavilion was called "Naxia Pavilion", with a double-eaved octagonal area. From there, you can look down at a higher place on Tongyuan Mountain. Under the remaining city walls in the Ming Dynasty in the southeast corner of Tongyuan Mountain, in the grass, there is a group of white rocks, like a group of running sheep. There is a famous "Yanwan Sheep" attraction. Chu Zhendong likes to do his last content of his early exercise here, and play the "Five Animal Play". The "Yanwan Sheep" attraction in the distance can easily allow him to enter the "Five Animal Play".

Not only does the body look like, but also the heart look like.

Close your eyes and calm down the aura on your body, Chu Zhendong began the last part of his early exercise.

Holding your breath, lowering your head, twisting your fists, standing like a tiger's power, and your hands are like bringing up a thousand gold medals. Get up gently, keeping your breath, flattening your body, and swallowing your energy into your abdomen. Luckily, make it go back and forth. Chu Zhendong only felt a roar in his abdomen. After seven times of this, Chu Zhendong took the tiger's power and put his body flat.

The tiger-shaped play of "Five Animals Play" is completed, and next, there are four plays of bear, deer, ape, and bird.

After a trip to the "Five Animal Show", the sun in the sky was already revealed, and the red sunlight shone on the body, with a slight ray of heating.

"Hey! Brother, it's coming very early!"

On the way down the mountain, Chu Zhendong greeted a gray-haired old man who was jogging towards him. The old people who came here to exercise came too many times, but they gradually became familiar with each other. In their later years, the elderly who were somewhat lonely in life would form some small circles with each other and play some singing and singing activities to entertain life. Chu Zhendong's wife used to run with him in the morning, but since she met a bunch of old ladies here, his wife did not come to Tongyuan Mountain in the morning and went to play box shows by the green lake.

"Ha...he...it's getting late, it's getting late. As soon as this man was old, his body parts were rusted. He didn't come to exercise two days ago, so his waist was a little uneasy. Today I rushed out to do it early. My son is in his 30s and hasn't gotten married yet. But I still want to wait to hold my grandson!"

"I see, brother, as long as you keep exercising, not to mention your grandson, it's not difficult to hold a great grandson!"

"Ha...ha... I accept your noble words, I accept your noble words!"

The old man ran away with a laugh. Chu Zhendong also smiled and walked back along the way down the mountain. On the way, he met a few old men he often met. Everyone greeted him familiarly, chatted a few casually, and then did their own things.

The school holds the first class at 8:30 every morning, and every day, Chu Zhendong appears at school at 8:00 a.m. Every morning, he walks around the school to see all aspects of the school. Sometimes even talks to a few students. Chu Zhendong's habit is Chu Zhendong's habit. Chu Zhendong's opinion, those principals who only know how to do things in the office, listen to the reports of their subordinates, and read the manuscripts written by the secretary during meetings are incompetent. A qualified principal is like a qualified captain. Every captain can know everything on his ship, and the same is true for a principal. Every captain has a clear understanding of the direction the ship is going, and they will choose the safest route. Even though he knows that there is a reef ahead, can he still let his "ship" sail towards that reef? Of course not!

"Anyway, as long as I am the principal of Southwest Associated University, I must not allow my boat to sail on the dead end, even if..."

Chu Zhendong, who was worried about the future of Southwest Associated University, was worried about the future of Southwest Associated University, there was a fork in front of him. When Chu Zhendong walked to the fork in the road, he almost bumped into a person coming from the path next to him. Looking at the direction of the person, he was also going down the mountain. Fortunately, the person reacted very quickly. When Chu Zhendong just realized that he was going to hit someone, Chu Zhendong felt that the person had moved and was already standing two steps away.

"What agile skill!" Chu Zhendong exclaimed in his heart.

The man was wearing a black sportswear, looking casual and chic. He turned his head and a familiar face came into Chu Zhendong's eyes, his broad forehead, his straight nose, his face as sharp as a knife, his big, dark and bottomless eyes as deep pools, and a pair of eyebrows soaring in the clouds like wings.

The man seemed a little surprised to see that it was Chu Zhendong.

"Principal Chu!"

Hearing the man calling him respectfully, Chu Zhendong's mind flashed with inspiration, and he finally remembered who the boy in front of him who looked familiar. This boy has a very special name - Long Liexue!

"There are always some things in this world that need to be changed!"

Chu Zhendong still remembers what happened in the school cafeteria on the day the freshman was registered. It was the boy who looked a bit special in front of him who gave a particularly intriguing answer. Chu Zhendong was very impressed by Long Liexue at that time. He also specially asked the secretary to check the name of the boy, Long Liexue.

Liexue, I feel like there is a name that burns the fire in my heart when I hear it.

Chu Zhendong smiled kindly, like a kind elder. When he faced the students of his school, Chu Zhendong's smile was always very kind.

"It's you. If I remember correctly, you'll be called Long Liexue!"

"Principal Chu knows me?" When Chu Zhendong called out his name, Long Liexue was really surprised. There were tens of thousands of students from Southwest Associated University. Long Liexue didn't believe that everyone remembered Chu Zhendong, especially he had only met him once. When the meeting happened quickly flashed through Long Liexue's mind, Long Liexue felt relieved, "I didn't expect Principal Chu to remember me, which made me feel a little ashamed!"

"It seems that you are getting up in the morning to exercise. Now you are going down the mountain. Let's talk while you walk!"

Long Liexue nodded, walked behind Chu Zhendong one body, looking at Chu Zhendong's snow-white silver hair, Long Liexue, who knew Chu Zhendong's deeds, couldn't help but feel a deep respect in his heart. It was the old man in front of him who had graduated from studying in M ​​country and returned to zh country without hesitation. In that era when most literati were wearing long gowns, this old man took the lead in wearing suits with other people's gossip. Decades later, when everyone was wearing suits, he wore long gowns in surprise eyes. Many people who didn't understand him said that he was strange. He played these tricks to highlight his uniqueness, but the old man didn't care. At the beginning, Long Liexue also didn't understand it. Until later, when he read "Studying the Tao" written by Chu Zhendong, Long Liexue's doubts were solved.

"...When everyone is wearing a long gown, I wear a suit. The only purpose is to let everyone open their eyes to see the outside world. At that time, I firmly believed that only the democracy and scientific spirit of the West were the best medicine to revitalize the country, and blind stubbornness and conservatism would only let the country fall into a darker abyss..."

"...When everyone is proud of wearing suits and tie, I took off my suit and put on a long gown. Now I find that if a nation cannot retain its culture, its traditions, and its history, then no matter how rich, powerful, or perished it, it will be its only destination..."

"...What I wear on my body is not the clothes I like or the clothes I like, but the flag... What the country needs, what I wear on my body..."

Long Liexu knew that many people in front of him, with silver hair, did not call him by his name, but by his nickname, "Chu Kuangren" or "Chu Dapao"!

It was also the old man with silver hair in front of him. When the plane of the J Chinese was hovering over the Southwest Associated University, most people were running towards the air-raid shelter, for a box of textbooks he brought back from Country M, he rushed into the classroom regardless of life and death. Before he could run out, the bomb dropped by the J Chinese Chinese blew up the classroom and was buried in the ruins. More than ten hours later, when people dug him out of the ruins, he was still pressing the box of textbooks tightly under him. The textbooks inside were stained with his blood. Fortunately, because of the simplicity of the classroom, he was not dead. And when his students held the blood-stained textbooks and listened to his lectures, they were silent and the whole class burst into tears...

One of those textbooks is still in the exhibition window of the Southwest Associated University Library. There is not much introduction in the window, while the others are treasured by many people like treasures.

There are many things happening to Chu Zhendong!

Faced with such an old man, Long Liexue had to respect him, and he had to respect him.

Long Liexue, who was respectful but naturally calm, saw it in his eyes by Chu Zhendong and nodded in his heart.

Chu Zhendong admired this freshman in front of him very much. At Southwest Associated University, there are not many students who can be as natural and calm as Long Liexue when they know their identity. What is even more rare is that Chu Zhendong felt that the respect the student in front of him was from the bottom of his heart. Most of the students Chu Zhendong met either seemed a little restrained or performed too strongly when facing him. Of course, it was not that these two attitudes were bad, but that when he reached Chu Zhendong's age, after experiencing so many things, the three words "normal mind" gave him more insights.

"Ha...he... your answer that day was very interesting and impressive!" Speaking of this, Chu Zhendong suddenly remembered something. Doesn't this freshman need military training? At this time, the military training has only been more than half of it, and it will take almost a week for freshman to return to school. Looking at Long Liexue's appearance, he seems to have not gone to military training! Southwest Associated University has long implemented a credit system under its own reform. If it cannot get the two credits for military training, it will be impossible to graduate.

"Didn't you go to military training?"

Finally asked this question, Long Liexue, who was one step behind, smiled bitterly. The scenes of military training flashed in his heart. What should I say?
