The trees on this mountain are very dense, so dense that you can’t feel the steepness and ups and downs of the mountain. The trail extends along the stream into the mountain, and we strolled in. It immediately felt like we had entered a primeval forest, because I found the trail
There are huge trees on both sides, and the creek is behind the rows of trees on the right. The sound of gurgling water can still be heard, and it can still be vaguely seen through the gaps in the trees.
After walking only a few dozen meters, I suddenly saw a large hole in the mountain wall ahead. The shape of the hole was irregular, and it looked like it was naturally formed.
"Minister Dou, look, the water in this stream flows out of this hole. After passing through this hole, the scenery on that side will definitely surprise you." Governor Huang stopped in front of the hole and turned around.
He smiled and said to Minister Dou.
Minister Dou looked very interested, "Let's go in."
Governor Huang turned around and asked his secretary: "Did you bring a flashlight?"
His secretary said quickly: "I've brought it, I've brought it."
Governor Huang immediately ordered: "Come to the front and give another one to the people behind."
Although there was a flashlight, I still felt that it was pitch dark inside the cave. I tried to walk in for two steps, and immediately felt eerie and creepy. I slowly got used to the dark light, and the light emitted by the flashlight
The light gradually became clearer. The underground road was a little uneven, and I could hear the sound of running water. I followed the people in front of me and kept walking forward, feeling that I would never end.
, feeling uneasy and worried about not being able to get out.
The inside of the cave is very narrow, and the road under my feet is also twists and turns, and every corner just blocks the light source that penetrates from outside the cave. If there weren't a few people walking together, I would definitely walk back to the outside of the cave after a few steps.
Yes, because I definitely don't believe that this hole can lead to the other side.
After stumbling and stumbling, we finally walked out of the cave... Wow! Suddenly, our eyes suddenly opened up! We are standing on a large platform!
Suddenly I heard Governor Huang laughing in front and saying, "I call this place Huorantai. How about it? Minister Dou, isn't it beautiful?"
Minister Dou laughed, "Beautiful! Today's trip is well worth it! Shuorantai, what a good name!"
Looking down from this platform, we can see a different kind of world - a pool of spring water surrounded by towering green mountains, and a stretch of fertile farmland. In the field, people are driving cattle to plow the fields. On the edge of the large paddy field is a small
There are several bamboo houses on the hillside, and there are many peach blossom trees planted beside the bamboo houses. What a pastoral scene!
What's even more surprising is that this piece of land is actually surrounded by several large mountains, as if the cave we just entered is the only passage leading to the outside world.
Everything here is so peaceful and warm, it is really a magical world, this is the real paradise!
We were immediately excited and immediately went down the mountain from the platform. The roadside down the mountain was full of towering ancient trees, twining trees, dense shade, and winding stone steps winding down.
Minister Dou was very surprised. He asked Governor Huang: "Has anyone always lived here?"
Governor Huang replied: "There used to be several families living here, but recently we were planning to develop the area, so we moved the extra families out.
Minister Dou sighed: "Actually, it's better to keep it original. I thought Tao Yuanming's "The Peach Blossom Spring" was just based on his imagination, but I never thought there really is such a magical place in the world."
Governor Huang laughed and said: "Tao Yuanming must have been here. Otherwise, how could he write such realistic feelings?"
Minister Dou also laughed, "It makes sense." Then he recited: "In Taiyuan of Jin Dynasty, the Wuling people made fishing a profession. They walked along the stream and forgot the distance of the road. Suddenly they came across a peach blossom forest, and there were hundreds of steps along the bank. There was nothing in the way.
The trees and grass are delicious, and the fallen flowers are colorful, which is very different to fishermen. They go forward again, hoping to exhaust the forest. When the forest reaches the water source, they reach a mountain with a small mouth on the mountain, as if there is light. They leave the boat and enter through the mouth.
He was very narrow at first, but he has a lot of talent..."
Governor Huang immediately started chanting in harmony with him, "After walking for dozens of steps, it suddenly dawned on me. The land was flat and vast, with well-shaped houses. There were fertile fields, beautiful ponds, mulberry trees, and bamboos. There was traffic on every road, and chickens and dogs could hear each other. There were many species of animals coming and going among them.
The clothes of the men and women looked like those of outsiders. Their yellow hair was hanging down, and they were enjoying themselves. When they saw the fisherman, they were shocked. They asked where they had come from, and when they had the answers, they returned home, where they set up wine and killed chickens for food. There was news in the village that there were
This person came to inquire about this person. Since Yun's ancestors, he escaped from the chaos of the Qin Dynasty and led his wife to come to this desperate situation. He never came back, so he was separated from outsiders. When I asked what time it is now, I don't know whether there was a Han Dynasty, regardless of the Wei and Jin Dynasties. This person is the same.
One of them was saddened by what he said and heard. The rest of the people went back to their homes, where they all went out to drink and eat. They stayed for a few days and resigned. One of the people there said: "It's not enough to be a way for outsiders!" After getting out, they got the boat and helped them to the road.
, Everywhere is determined. When he went to the county, he went to the prefect and said this. The prefect immediately sent people to follow him to find what he wanted, but he got lost and could no longer find the way. Liu Ziji of Nanyang, a noble scholar, heard about it and went there happily.
If the result is unsuccessful, the search for illness will end. Afterwards, there will be no one who cares about it.”
What they were reciting was Tao Yuanming's "The Peach Blossom Spring". When they finished reciting, they immediately burst out laughing in unison.
Although we all feel relaxed and happy, and we are all marveling at the miraculous craftsmanship here, we all know that the only ones who can feel and vent their inner joyful feelings in such a place are the two leaders, so
, when the two of them were reciting Tao Yuanming's "Peach Blossom Spring", the other people in front could only be listeners.
The leader is always the protagonist, even in such a casual atmosphere.
However, their recitation just now made us feel a lot more dreamy about this place, because it is so similar to the freehand paintings written by Tao Yuanming.
The place is criss-crossed with criss-crossed streets, green seedlings, and exudes a fresh, moist, rustic atmosphere of paddy fields. There are also birds chirping and frogs chirping, which is exactly what "the fields with frogs are quiet, and the villages with birds are leisurely." Along the ditch, through
Tiankan, we were immediately fascinated by the depths of this paradise that combines nature and artificial imitation of nature.
When they arrived at the bamboo hut, the group immediately sat down. A group of cadre-looking people had already come out to welcome them. It was probably that people from the provincial government had already notified the local area to arrange the reception.
This kind of reception immediately destroyed the peach blossom garden-like artistic conception here, and immediately made me feel that we are still in the world, still living in this tacky, snobbish real world.
At first glance, this bamboo house looks like a newly built one. It’s not as beautiful as a farmer’s house. But it’s nice to sit here and drink tea and chat.
After being introduced, I learned that among the people waiting there were the county party committee secretary and the county magistrate. The county party committee secretary was fat and looked more official than Governor Huang, but at the moment he was smiling like a slave.
Follow us.
"Governor Huang, Minister Dou, let's have dinner here at noon today. We have made arrangements. It happened to rain a few days ago, and a lot of fish came out of the Yin River." The county party committee secretary said.
Governor Huang looked at him and asked: "Can we receive guests here on weekdays? We have quite a few people today."
The secretary of the county party committee said: "Today we specially brought in chefs and utensils from outside. Normally this place does not receive guests, but individual tourists can stay and dine after discussing with the people living here."
Governor Huang went to ask Minister Dou: "What do you think? Minister Dou."
Minister Dou shook his head and said: "It's so beautiful inside, let's not destroy the scenery inside."
Governor Huang nodded and said, "I'm thinking the same thing. Then let's go out to eat."
The county party secretary nodded quickly and said, "Okay. We'll go to the town below to prepare immediately."
I couldn't help but sigh: This is privilege. People with privilege can enjoy everything, and of course they can change many things with just a word. Good or bad all depends on the thought of the person with privilege.
At this time, the county magistrate said: "The Provincial Admissions Office has contacted us and said that Minister Dou wanted to see the sunken wood that was just dug out. It happened that a few days ago, farmers in one of our villages discovered a piece of wood while cleaning the river.
This gloomy tree has not been completely dug out of the river yet. Minister Dou, do you want to go take a look?"
Minister Dou asked: "How far is that place from here?"
The county magistrate replied: "It's just in the other direction from here. You can go there after lunch. It takes nearly two hours to get there from the town at the foot of the mountain. The main reason is that the road is not easy to walk."
Minister Dou shook his head and said: "Forget it. In fact, I have seen that thing before. Unprocessed dark wood is similar to ordinary trees. Right?"
The county magistrate smiled and said: "Yes."
Director Dou looked at me and said, "Director Feng, thank you for your thoughtful arrangements, but I think it's better not to go and see it. When you return to the provincial capital, you can just take me to visit a gloomy wooden handicraft store."
I agreed repeatedly and immediately went to thank the county party secretary and county magistrate.
In the past, in my eyes, the county party committee secretary and now are high-ranking officials. I remember that I felt a little nervous when I first met with County Magistrate Long from my hometown. But now, when I see these two people, I feel a little nervous.
There is no such feeling anymore. On the contrary, they are still smiling politely at me, "Director Feng, this is what we should do."
In fact, it is a very normal thing for me to change like this. Not only because I am now at the deputy department level, but also because Kang Demao, who I am so familiar with, was once the county magistrate, and even Wang Xin was once the deputy director.
Mayor. In addition, the two deputy ministerial leaders in front of me are no longer as mysterious in my eyes as before.
In fact, each of us is changing. We are all changing as we grow older and change our status. (To be continued)
