Chapter 644: Wandering the Ancient Street at Night

After dinner, Xiao Yi's father asked Xiao Yi and Xiao Wei to lead Wang Zixiang out for a walk to familiarize themselves with the environment of the town. If you don't come once, you can't even find such a small town in the north, and you can't say more.

What's more, there are still places worth walking in Nishang Town!

When Wang Zixiang was in the daytime, he saw a very special stone arch bridge at the end of the street of Xiaoyijia and in front of the town hospital, although the span was only about four or five meters, it was a rare object for him.

As soon as he went out, Wang Zixiang asked about the stone bridge that was in sight.

Seeing Wang Zixiang ask about the stone bridge, Xiao Wei laughed: "Brother-in-law, that bridge was left during the Republic of China, and it is not uncommon. The predecessor of our street was built in the middle of the Qing Dynasty, and when I first remembered, it was a two-story wooden building. The main door is full of long detachable wooden boards, and the second floor is full of attics, just like those in movies and television! ”

"It's really fake! If it's true, it's a bit of a pity that it's not protected. ”

Wang Zixiang can imagine the scene of living in the old street in the movie and television screen! It just so happens that there is a small river in front of the door, in which the blue waves-like aquatic plants and small fish swim freely, how beautiful it is.

But now, when you look up, it's all three-story buildings covered with tiles. I don't know how many of this pattern there are nationwide, so it's really not surprising. To put it bluntly, it's like losing gold and picking up stones!

"Now that I think about it, many people regret it, but it's a pity that they didn't think so at the beginning! If your family has to disassemble and assemble more than 20 pieces of dozens of pounds of door panels every morning, how do you feel? If there are no young men in the house, they can't even open the door.

Therefore, art originates from life, but it is beyond life; And the people, as long as they live! We have a saying here, which is called 'Three drunks a day, long live the emperor Lao Tzu!' Doesn't it also mean that the people yearn for a comfortable life? ”

Xiao Yi refuted Wang Zixiang's view that standing and talking without backache caused him to walk towards the stone bridge: "I'll take you to see the streets left in the middle and late Ming Dynasty in a while, there are still some scattered old houses, although they are not like the previous clusters, but you can still see some shadows of the past." The road surface is also full of traces of the times!

However, the situation of the streets over there is different from the pattern of the middle and late Qing Dynasty. The street we are in was not expanded when it was rebuilt, which means that the street was so wide when it was the old street. But over there, the street is only a third of the way. The difference between the views of the two eras can also be seen in the width of the street. ”

In fact, Xiao Yi's house is less than ten meters away from the stone bridge. As he spoke, Mi stood next to the stone bridge.

The existence of a bridge is an indication of people's willingness to cross the bridge. As an important part of the transportation hub, it also tells people how important the connection between the two ends of the bridge is in various forms such as wooden and suspension cables.

Seeing the bridge inscription inlaid at the head of this small stone bridge and the blurred handwriting on it, as well as the uneven bridge deck on the bridge deck, Wang Zixiang knew that at a certain historical moment, this bridge was also an important hub of this town!

Despite its small size and half a meter above the road, it can be designed with pedestrians and cars in mind. As you can imagine, it was not easy for a car to climb over the bridge in those days.

In comparison, the cement bridge of the narrator is much more convenient. It is estimated that after the cement bridge was built, no one wanted to try to cross this stone bridge. This is probably the case for pedestrians, not to mention cars.

"It's all made of big bluestone, without a little steel structure, and the structure is purely mechanical......"

When Xiao Wei was explaining, Wang Zixiang saw a vague rectangular box on the thinnest part of the side of the bridge with the help of the orange street lamp, and asked: "Does this bridge have a name?" ”

"Benefit the bridge! No romance! Listening to the old man means benefiting the four townships. Let's go, let's go through time! Xiao Yi pulled Wang Zixiang and continued to walk forward. When I was a child, I don't know how many times I played on this bridge, no matter what the feeling was, I used it up!

What's more, the rippling algae and schools of small fish and shrimp under the bridge have long disappeared, and the bottom of the water is full of all kinds of domestic garbage, broken tiles and bricks, and Xiaoyi doesn't want to stay for a moment.

The stone bridge is less than ten meters past the hospital, Xiao Yi led Wang Zixiang to turn right, and immediately let him see the stone street where the street is long and narrow and there is no end in sight.

Mixed with modern buildings, the prominent eaves beams carved with mysterious and complex patterns undoubtedly do not tell the historical heritage of this ancient street; And against the dim lights of the small street, the already uneven stone street seems to be covered with a mysterious atmosphere unique to time and space!

On both sides of the entrance to the side street, two half-human-high low walls were cut with cement, apparently to prevent larger motor vehicles from entering.

Seeing this scene, Wang Zixiang said with a smile: "If this cement pier is used to protect the stone street from being run over by motor vehicles, it seems that everyone's sense of protection is not bad." ”

"Pull it down, brother-in-law! It used to be a gate! The Ming Dynasty was pushed to the ground more than ten years ago when the Qing Dynasty collapsed and the Qing Daoguang was rebuilt. I heard that the gate is very beautiful, and the circle in the middle can be printed with the moon in the sky......! Besides, this cement pier is completely used to reduce the noise of motor vehicles entering and rolling stone slabs at night. ”

Xiao Wei's words made Wang Zixiang, who had been presumptuously defined, quite faceless.

Just as Xiao Wei's words fell, Wang Zixiang felt embarrassed, a motorcycle drove out of the depths of the street with high beam lights. Everywhere the motorcycle passed, the muffled sound left by the bluestone friction was endless, as if to confirm how reliable Xiao Wei's remarks were!

And Xiao Wei glanced at Wang Zixiang with his eyebrows fluttering, and his smug energy was raised.

Xiao Yi smiled and led Wang Zixiang into this ancient street that no matter how the status quo changes, the pattern has always remained in the middle of the Ming Dynasty, and advised: "Step on the middle of the bluestone, otherwise it is easy to let the other trouser leg splash the muddy water under the stone slab!" ”

"Sister, brother-in-law, you go shopping first, I'll go find Jingjing." Serena Williams is very knowledgeable and doesn't want to stay as a light bulb.

"If you can make an appointment, bring her over to play." Xiao Yi commanded the back of this younger brother.

"Uh-huh, that's what I'm going to do!"

When Xiao Wei walked away, Wang Zixiang shook Xiao Yi's hand in his palm and asked, "Listen to your tone, do you plan that girl to be your brother and sister?" ”

"Almost! I wouldn't object to her if she wanted to. Doesn't that seem incredible? ”

"Sort of! You are too avant-garde to be a sister! Wang Zixiang replied truthfully.

Xiao Yi chuckled and explained: "This kind of thing is normal for us!" When I was in high school, three girls in my class were engaged. The whole school is estimated to have dozens of numbers, as long as you don't get into a good school in the college entrance examination, you will almost have a banquet and get married. ”
