Chapter 215 Wen Qing in Beihai Park
It would have been better if Cha Hongying didn't explain. After her explanation, David became even more confused.
Without him, the key point was that he really couldn't understand the poem in it.
"The tiger wears a bridle and the sheep carries a saddle,
The swallow holds the clay in its mouth and the monkey rests on its shoulder.
The turtle carries stones and the rabbit leads the way,
Magpies build bridges and stacks of ice.
It was difficult for the two Chinese college students to explain to him something that was filled with feudal superstition. Ye Yuze had no scruples.
"Little foreigner, you know that it was more than two thousand years ago when this Great Wall was built.
At that time, the country you have now only had Indians and monkeys.
Although China originated relatively early, its productivity at that time was low and there were no means of transportation at all.
Even horses and oxen cannot transport building materials on such a steep mountain, right?”
David nodded. At this time, several people had already started to climb up along the city gate. David looked out from the city wall and strongly agreed with Ye Yuze's point of view.
"So, the ancestors started to think of a way, and they are also half of your ancestors!"
David nodded more piously, he really admitted this. After all, his mother is Chinese.
"So our ancestors and your maternal ancestors began to think of ways. They began to tame animals that could walk on this mountain.
For example, tigers and goats. The tiger was disobedient, so I had to put a dragon's head on it to prevent it from biting.
Together with the hard work of swallows, monkeys, turtles, and rabbits, we transported these building materials to the top of the mountain and began to build the city wall."
David listened with a pious expression on his face. But suddenly he asked another question:
"But these animals are only as strong as a tiger. Even it can't carry such a big stone? What use are those goats and swallows?"
Ye Yuze's face was filled with embarrassment, and he finally gave up trying to fool the little foreigner out of frustration.
Cha Hongying and Wang Honghua laughed so hard that they almost couldn't stand up straight.
David is obviously a more serious person. He came to a conclusion after careful observation.
"The construction of this Great Wall must have started from the city gate, and the building materials were all transported along the roads during the construction."
Ye Yuze has given up treatment, obviously his IQ is not lower than his.
At this time Wang Honghua said, "This Great Wall in China is more than 20,000 kilometers long and runs through more than ten provinces in China."
David's blue eyes were as wide as brass bells, and his face had an expression that would be weird if you didn't believe me.
Ye Yuze saw that this guy dared not believe his sister. He immediately started preaching again, from Liaoning to Gansu.
Although David was not arrogant when he said this, he was still unconvinced. Because he really didn't know how big the country of China was, let alone the place names.
Anyone who has climbed the Badaling Great Wall knows that it is very steep. At least half of the tourist army of later generations gave up after climbing a few enemy towers.
However, the four young men are not unable to climb yet. When they climb up to the highest enemy tower, they can see everything around them clearly. And they feel like they are in the clouds.
David looked at Wang Honghua: "Sister, this kind of Great Wall is really thousands of miles away!"
Ye Yuze and the three of them nodded together.
David looked up to the sky and sighed: "Oh Maigada! My ancestors are really great!"
When several people returned home, it was almost eight o'clock in the evening.
The two old men were still waiting for them without eating.
Seeing the two extra girls, the old couple was extremely happy. They quickly packed up the dishes and filled the bowls.
With such a big house, they naturally wouldn't let Ye Yuze live outside, so they arranged for them to stay at home.
But how could a few young people sleep? She blinked and looked at Ye Yuze.
"Hey, Ye Yuze, shall I take you somewhere to play?"
Ye Yuze is a little strange. There are neither karaoke bars nor disco bars these days. Where can he go to play?
David couldn't wait anymore: "Let's go, let's go quickly. The nightlife has just begun, how can we waste our lives?"
It’s not too cold in Beijing in April, but the night wind is still a bit chilly, so I need to wear a sweater.
The two beauties were dressed like the blooming flowers, and there was a foreigner with blue eyes walking next to them. They were even more eye-catching.
On the edge of Houhai Park, there are pairs of young people walking or sitting. They may also be couples who are in trouble for housing. It is a rare time for two people to have such a rare world at night.
Zha Hongying led them through the lake and soon came to a larger pavilion.
The pavilion was full of people, and a tall and thin man was talking passionately there.
Seeing four people coming in, the person who was talking waved and said hello to Zha Hongying.
Zha Hongying quickly introduced Wang Honghua and Ye Yuze:
"This is Mang Ke, the poem I talked about that day was written by him!"
Then Zha Hongying introduced the familiar people again, and Ye Yuze remembered one named Bei Dao.
This group was all young people in their early twenties, all dressed in ordinary clothes. The man named Mang Ke was wearing an old military uniform, with both cuffs frayed.
He was not wearing a sweater underneath, only a vest, shivering a little in the strong wind.
Seeing the two beauties arriving, his mood became even higher.
"We should no longer be depressed or restrained. We cannot let our youth die in this dullness!
We must use our voices and our pens to shout and awaken those sleeping souls!”
Ye Yuze looked at this guy in confusion, wondering where such a huge explosive power came from this thin body?
When he got excited, he even recited a poem he had written loudly.
night on snow
It is a dog with black and white fur, and the moon is its tongue that sometimes sticks out
The stars are the teeth it sometimes shows
It's this dog
This dog was let out in winter
The dog that wanders around our house warily
Using the north wind
The sound that often wakes people up from their peaceful sleep
howl at us
This forced me to open the door
walk towards it angrily
This forced me to rage against the darkness
Get out of here quickly
But the night did not leave because of this
The dog in the snow
Still wandering around outside
Of course, its cry continued for a long time
Until I fell asleep unconsciously due to exhaustion
And dreamed that it was already spring time and the flowers were blooming before me
When he finished reading, Ye Yuze clearly saw tears in his eyes.
Wang Honghua looked at Ye Yuze in confusion. She probably didn't understand.
Cha Hongying looked at Mang Ke with a fascination, her eyes were filled with little stars.
David, the little foreigner, has a more straightforward temperament. After listening, he was silent for a while and looked at Ye Yuze.
"Ye, what does his poem mean?"
Ye Yuze raised his chin and pointed at Zha Hongying. "Ask the fans."
David asked her the same question again. But Cha Hongying looked confused. Obviously, she didn't know either.
