Obviously that person knew what it meant to be a guest.
Ordinary foreign guests do not have envoys. Only those with noble status will be sent by the Senate to greet them. The farther the usher goes, the more noble the status of the guest.
If the greeting envoy in front of us appears at Shuangjianghui Waterfall, the distance he has to travel to welcome guests will not be short, and the distinguished guests behind him are of considerable background.
"What's wrong?" Shao Dianluan asked in the car.
"It's nothing, it's a small matter, Feng Run can take care of it. Well, come down and take a walk, you can see the big waterfall here." Ding Kui saw that the platform on the top of the mountain had been cleared, so there was no need to worry about any accidents.
Ding Fen immediately opened the car door and jumped out, like a happy bird jumping towards the waterfall, "Hey, hey, hey, I won't help you down, madam!" Ding Kui walked around to the car door, and Shao Dianluan followed him and got out of the car, saying
: "I'm not that weak. It's good that she doesn't need my care."
"Wow, wow! It's so spectacular!" Ding Fen was immediately attracted by the waterfall and didn't pay attention to what Ding Kui said.
"The view here is very good." Ding Kui took Shao Dian Luan's jade hand and walked towards the waterfall.
The platform on the top of the mountain is empty, facing Shuangjianghui Falls to the west, and the entire waterfall landscape is unobstructed.
This is a waterfall that is high in the north and low in the south. The Yulin River and the Pinggu River turn south together a few miles away from the north, and then come to meet here. Due to the special terrain, a fault with a drop of more than 20 meters is created. The water of the two rivers rushes into a section three meters wide.
The river surface is more than a thousand meters, and then falls together to the low point in the south, converging into a new water flow, the Yuping River.
The top layer of the waterfall curves from east to west and is generally divided into three sections: one is like an ivory mouth, one is like a horse's hoof, and one is like a bowl's mouth, connected by a gentle arc in the middle.
Behind the water curtain is a hard rock wall, covered with moss and entangled with stubborn vines, showing a little greenery in the white water curtain.
As soon as the waterfall falls to the bottom, there are jumping water at the bottom, and scattered stones occasionally appear, holding on to the last trace of dignity.
"Rainbow! Wow, look!" Ding Fen jumped again.
When sunlight is refracted by water mist, rainbows of different sizes often appear. From the top of the hill, you can see the entire Shuangjianghui Falls. Rainbows are a common sight.
The weather is sunny today. The sun has been shining for most of the morning. The water vapor at the bottom of the waterfall has dispersed a lot. The view is wide and the scenery is clear. It is an excellent day to visit the waterfall.
"The water is mighty and the waves are magnificent. It is indeed a wonderful sight." Shao Dianluan was eye-opening.
Ding Kui also praised: "The waterfall is halfway up in the sky, and the sound is flying down to the earth! The description of the predecessors is wonderful, and it is more suitable to be used here."
"What I said makes sense! From the bottom, this waterfall really looks like it's halfway up the sky." Ding Fen was impressed by the first half of Ding Kui's poem.
"This is not what I said. It was said by an ancestor named Li Mengyang. Even if I think of it, I can't say it out loud. I dare not pretend to claim it."
Ding Kui was fascinated by the scenery and unconsciously recited an ancient poem, thinking: Fortunately, I did not pronounce "The water of the Yellow River comes up from the sky" written by Taibai Shixian, but it is quite appropriate to change it to "the water of the Yuping River comes up from the sky".
Li Bai's poems became immortal as soon as they were uttered. He did not dare to plagiarize and it was inconvenient to explain the source, so he always warned himself not to say them out loud.
"This sentence has an extraordinary artistic conception. Is that person named Li Mengyang not an ordinary person? Has he been here before? Is he from his own country or from our country?" Shao Dianluan pondered over and over that half of the poem in his mind, and felt that it fit the scene in front of him very well.
"Well, I read it in a rare book. Mr. Li is an overseas scholar who has traveled to various countries. Maybe he said that sentence after seeing the Shuangjianghui Waterfall. I don't know the details.
"Ding Kui did not dare to say the second half of the poem, because it would be more difficult to explain. (Note)
"You have read so many books, and I will read more in the future." Shao Dianluan's eyes were filled with strange light.
At the exit of the platform, there were three men who were preparing to go down the mountain. One of them glanced at Ding Kui and others and stopped like a log.
"What's wrong with you?" The person behind him backed away.
"Ah!" The man came back to his senses and heard that the voice was the same one who was shouting on the square tower just now and refused to leave.
This man has handsome features, but the bridge of his nose is slightly depressed. He is in his late thirties.
"Look at that woman, I can't think of words to describe her beauty." He raised his chin towards Shao Dian Luan, his eyes straightened and focused on Shao Dian Luan.
The man behind him glanced quickly, then took a step forward, blocking in front of his companion, and said: "Come on, that's my niece, don't even think about it!"
"Oh, cough, yes, yes!" The man lowered his head and continued walking down the mountain.
After walking a few steps, he couldn't help but look back and said: "What a pity, what a pity! That idiot is just taller, but he can win the beauty of a beautiful woman."
His companion pushed him again and said, "Don't you know who he is? His hands are stained with the blood of millions of compatriots in our country. If he notices your peeping, it will not cost you one more life."
Lower your eyebrows. It doesn't matter if you die or not, don't ruin the big thing."
He hummed twice, stepped off the platform where Ding Kui could not be seen, and said: "Rang Fuer, the bloodthirsty demon god is not always defeated by humans in the end. There are countless capable people in our country, so we can't deal with him."
It’s like playing.”
"Let's go, he is not someone you can mess with."
"..."
At this time, Feng Run came to Ding Kui and said, "Princess and the consort, please tower up. We can see more clearly from above."
"Were you okay just now? Those people seemed to have some background, and they spoke very arrogantly." Ding Kui didn't take the troublemakers on the square tower to heart, so he didn't notice the departure of the group of people.
"Haha, they are nothing compared to you two. They are just snobs. We must not let them defeat your interest." Feng Run looked proud.
"Hahaha, we're fine. Madam, please." Ding Kui pulled Shao Dian Luan and followed Feng Run towards the square tower.
The view from the square tower is better, you can see farther, and it can block the scorching sun. There are seats, fruits, tea, refreshments, and official performers playing music. It is much better than the platform below.
No wonder some people refuse to leave once they come up.
Ding Kui nodded and said, "Well, that's right. Such a waterfall viewing spot is very good. I wonder how much it will cost?"
"Noble people are rewarded, but those who are qualified to climb the tower only need to pay a mere gold coin." The official in charge of managing the square tower was very proud.
"Reward." Ding Kui nodded again.
Zeng Jian quickly opened the money bag, took out a handful of gold coins, put them in the hands of the officials, and said: "This is for everyone. Take it and distribute it. Don't leave out anyone."
"Yes, yes, yes! Don't worry, noble man. I will reward all the little ones in full. I dare not go against your wishes." The official smiled widely.
After the officials ran away, Feng Run said: "Actually, you don't need to reward them. This place is specially used to receive guests. No matter whether at home or abroad, you are the honored guests invited by the queen, and they should serve you well."
"That's what I say, but if we don't come, they can make extra money, but if we come, we block their way of making money. As a small person with a meager income, I feel a little unhappy, and the enthusiasm to serve seems unnatural.
It’s not like I can’t afford to give you a small reward. Soon they will replace it with fresher fruits and better tea, and the performers will perform harder. People need to be considerate of each other. I’m good to you, and everyone is good.”
Ding Kui casually picked up the fruit that the official had just presented and stuffed it into Feng Run.
"I never thought you would plot against ordinary people. I am indeed not as good as you. I will never be able to avenge my defeat that day in this life." Feng Run was completely convinced.
"The fact that you can say that proves that you really regard me as an ally." Ding Kui didn't mind Feng Run's grudge.
Feng Run suffered such a miserable defeat, so he must be lying when he says he doesn't hold grudges. Only when he can honestly face his former enemies can he truly let go.
"Well, where are junior sister and Qianyou?" Ding Kui suddenly realized that there were a few people missing around him.
Ding Fen replied: "They are on the floor below."
"What are you doing? You really need to distinguish between superiority and inferiority! Go and ask them to come up. It's nice to enjoy the beautiful scenery with your friends." Ding Kui then noticed that the people who followed him stayed below.
Feng Run shook his head helplessly, knowing that persuasion was useless and didn't bother to care.
Several people followed Ding Fen up, and Liang Chong said, "You and your wife are the honored guests. We will also watch from below." He felt that he was the only outsider.
Qianyou has been following Ding Kui for a long time, Zeng Jian is Ding Kui's classmate, and Liang Chong is the only person Ding Kui has to take care of.
"No, I don't feel good if I don't listen to Brother Liang's military strategy. Come on, come on, if the enemy wants to cross the river from the opposite side, should they go up or down?" Ding Kui performed a military chess deduction in a grand manner.
Liang Chong glanced at Feng Run, who had a slightly ugly face, and said: "It's difficult to walk up top, and it's also difficult to walk down below. If I were the general, I would definitely not choose this place to cross the river." He gently jumped over the pit dug by Ding Kui.
"Hahaha, with this tower here, the defense of the west bank is safe!" Ding Kui said in one sentence the military value of the square tower.
The vicinity of the Great Falls is not a good place to cross the river. The square tower can observe more than ten miles upstream and downstream. It is impossible for any troops to cross from the east bank to the west bank silently, and there is no room for surprise attacks.
"Ahem, cough, Consort Ding, your words are too disgraceful, and the peace-loving people of our country dare not listen to them." Feng Run had no choice but to intervene.
Ding Kui was about to make a joke when he suddenly heard Shaodian Luan say: "Hey, what is that?"
He looked in the direction of his wife's finger and saw a woman in Tsing Yi walking straight through the crowd on the west bank of the waterfall. She was already reaching the edge. If she took a few more steps, she would fall in. Pinggu River, and then washed down the waterfall by the river.
"Oops! Did that woman want to commit suicide? Why didn't anyone stop her?" He couldn't judge the woman's intentions because he was too far away.
Lu Ying lay on the fence, craned his neck to look, and said, "It seems so! She didn't seem to slow down, she just wanted to jump!"
"You guys are ready!" Ding Kui flew out of the square tower.
"Oops! What are you doing?" Feng Run stamped his feet anxiously. If something happened to Ding Kui, it would be difficult to explain to the queen.
(Note: The second half of Li Mengyang's "Kaixian Temple" is, Mo Yan, this small pond shakes Kuanglu Mountain.)
