So Hu Zongren and I walked to the overpass and planned to cross the road. The overpass is a good place because the terrain is high and there are only two passages. Although it is on a busy street, as long as we stay on it for a few minutes, is there anything there?
It is immediately obvious that someone is following us. However, Hu Zongren and I did not do this because we knew that if someone really wanted to follow us, it would be useless to hide. Besides, the other party would not dare to do so in broad daylight.
What to do with us.
Walking down from the overpass is the Eling Station opposite. This is a bus station with a relatively large passenger flow. If you continue walking forward for more than ten meters, you will encounter two inverted eight-shaped slopes. The distance between the two slopes is about
Less than 100 meters apart, there are some small stores such as parts stores or motorcycle repair shops in the middle, because this area is an area where vehicle sales are relatively concentrated, and there are many directly-operated stores and sales of car dealers nearby.
Point, I remember that when I wanted to buy a car, I also wandered around this area.
Facing the crossroads, the slope on my right goes up to Eling Park. During the war, many foreign embassies were built here. If you walk along this road, you can go directly to Liziba. Lizi
Although Ba is a place I don’t go to very often, it is a place I can’t forget. Last year I faced Hu Zongren with Cha Wu Dao, and the root cause of the dispute with Cha Wu Dao was because I was young and ignorant at the time.
, broke through the treacherous plot of a businessman surnamed Wei, and once kicked over the altar he used to refine ghosts and extend his life in a certain air-raid shelter in Liziba. The man was paralyzed as a result, but he did not die, so many years later
, came to me for revenge. The last time we came to Liziba was because Hu Zongren had offended the Xuanyuan Society. We even found the coffin containing the spirit-possessed doll in Liziba. I have handled many cases in my life.
, so that if I were asked to recall, I might not be able to recall many cases, but for this place I have only been to a few times, I can never forget it, because these two things are considered to be the most serious cases I have encountered in my life.
The two biggest things that have happened, the two things that span the longest time.
I have nothing to say about Eling Park, because after today’s incident, I will visit again soon. That’s because my wedding photos were taken in this park. As for the slope on the left hand side, it’s about a few dozen meters away.
meters, you will see a very simple stone door with a round vault, very narrow, the door is not big, and it is a single-opening iron fence door. The road to the door is very narrow, if you don’t look carefully, you will not see it at all.
I can’t believe that behind such a narrow road, there is actually a relic in Chongqing’s history. There are security guards at the entrance, a canteen, and some lay people and ordinary people reading books and boxing here in twos and threes. Hu Zongren asked me, why are there still lay people here? I said
I don't know, maybe there is some kind of small temple here.
After walking into the narrow gate, the terrain suddenly opened up. I have seen many photos of Fotuguan on the Internet. From a geographical point of view, it was originally connected to the current Eling Park. If
If you start from Chaotianmen on the Yuzhong Peninsula and draw a line from the middle point along the winding trend, both Fotuguan and Eling will be included. In other words, although it is not the highest point, it is still at the highest point after all.
On the edge of the cliff. Fotuguan is surrounded by cliffs on three sides, and only two sides are surrounded by water. The reason why this place is called "Guan" means that it is a difficult place to pass. Hu Zongren asked me, this
The place looks good. I didn’t expect that there is such a thing in the main city. Who built it? I checked a lot of information a few days ago, so I explained it to Hu Zongren. I said, this place
It was first built when Liu Bei asked his lonely general Li Yan to dig mountains. It was originally used to garrison troops, but it eventually ended in failure.
I explained to Hu Zongren that in addition to the names we know as Fotuguan and Futuguan, this place also has many names such as Futuguan, Hulao Pass, and Fuxing Pass, because this place has a strategic position for Chongqing.
It is very important, so it has always been fought over. Each era has given this place a different mission, so it has many names. The Fotu Pass as we know it is already a park. And this Fotu Pass is an ancient
At that time, it was one of the three passes in Chongqing and the first of the three passes. The other two passes were Erlang Pass and Longdong Pass. I patted Hu Zongren on the shoulder and said, fortunately we are not going to those two places this time, otherwise
, it takes a long time just to drive.
Hu Zongren touched the weather-beaten marks on a stone and said, "If this place were a person, how many tragic things would he have witnessed?"
It felt very disgusting to say such fairy tale-like words, but I still told him, then I don’t know. This person has lived for a long time and has witnessed many things. In the end of his life, he may still leave with many unwilling emotions, and even more
What's more, this is something that has been around for thousands of years. I continued to say to Hu Zongren, you have to know that the two of us may be more naive than most people in many aspects. That is because the social levels we are exposed to are actually different, but when it comes to witnessing
The world is filled with joys and sorrows, but we, such young people, live like old people.
Hu Zongren snorted and laughed, and did not answer my words, but it was not disdain, but a feeling of helplessness. I pointed to a place not far from the entrance of the park, where there was a small sculpture.
I told Hu Zongren that that place is said to be the place where Mr. Yang Angong was killed. Hu Zongren asked me who Yang Angong was. I said you are uneducated and I don’t blame you. Mr. Yang Angong is the brother of former national leader Yang Shangkun, but we
Revolutionary martyr! When I said the word "martyr", I deliberately added the accent to emphasize my respect for the revolutionary pioneer. After hearing this, Hu Zongren said lightly, "Oh," which made me feel like I was hit by a basin of cold water.
It felt like it had been poured over, with its mouth open, unable to speak for a long time.
The two of us first walked along the trail. Most of the trails here are built along the cliffside walls. Although it is not narrow, it is perfectly fine to pass several people side by side. After all, it is a park. It is too steep to make sense. But
I can't say it's spacious, because most of the stones near the cliff are irregular, with occasional edges and corners sticking out, so if you think you're walking on a spacious road, you may end up with it because of your height.
My forehead hit. There are many cliff inscriptions on this row of stone walls. I knew these early on. They are basically carved on the inner slope. Although this cannot stop the speed of weathering, it can at least stop the erosion of rain. It is said that
Before this place was planned to be opened to the public as a park in the early years, the government had already stamped all the inscriptions, and took corresponding protection measures for the inscriptions on the existing site. But the Chinese people have always been like this, and there are always individual qualities.
People like to climb over the railings and write down the words of someone’s visit here on these ruins. Of course, this is not the focus of Hu Zongren and I, but we stopped and walked along the way, marveling at these magnificent inscriptions.
, for a moment, he and I forgot that we were here to handle a case, and instead seemed to be here for sightseeing.
On the way, we passed several relatively open places on the edge of the cliff, where someone had set up a simple tea stall. There were old people playing chess there, and some people playing with the birds. Hu Zongren asked me, we are not just wandering around this time.
What’s the solution? How about sitting down for a while and asking people around here? I nodded. In fact, I thought so too. The people here definitely don’t live in the park, but the tea stall owner probably wasn’t here just now.
The old man who opened a tea stall and played chess and entertained the birds nearby was by no means the first time he came back to the park. As a Chongqing native, I am well aware of the unique nostalgia of Chongqing people, especially the elderly. The environment in which they live has changed.
, maybe from the previous bungalow to the current community house, from the small road that only needed two or three steps to cross to the main road that you have to cross the overpass to have a chance to pass, the environment has changed a lot, but when
When I plan to enjoy comfort, I will still choose places that are in my memory, such as this Fotu Pass.
So Hu Zongren and I found a seat and sat down. It didn’t even count as a seat. It was just two benches, one high and one short. We sat on the short one, and the tall one naturally became a small coffee table. This
People in Chongqing have always been informal, and it doesn’t matter if they look good or not. Only when they enjoy themselves is they really satisfied. The owner of the tea stall saw us sitting down, so he came up to us and asked, should we drink tea or play cards? I said tea.
So the boss immediately turned around and left. Hu Zongren asked me, why did this guy leave without asking us what kind of tea we were drinking? I said, do you think we can order Biluochun Tieguanyin? There is no choice here, just one kind of tea.
Just drink it for fun. Hu Zongren asked me, what kind of tea is it? I told him, isn't it Laoyin tea, which is most commonly drunk by Chongqing people?
Although I don’t know where Laoyin tea is produced, I have known this kind of tea since I was a child. I usually drink Laoyin tea when I eat hot pot because it can relieve heat. The summer in Chongqing is very hot.
Laoyin tea has become a common item at home. It can clear away heat and relieve the heat. It is much better than any cold drink. Hu Zongren has been in Chongqing for a long time. During this period, I took him to almost all the dry pot places that I thought were delicious.
Whether it is a hot pot or soup pot restaurant, Hu Zongren is no stranger to Laoyin Tea. However, when the shop owner brought up two enamel cups that looked like they had been used for many years, he opened the cup lids that looked like nipples and popped out
A burst of heat, and at that moment, the fragrance of tea overflowed.
