Since they weren't going to eat in Shangqinghe Village, they didn't have to alarm the old man Liu Chuankui. Du Yufeng was extremely familiar with the road conditions in this area, and drove directly to the mountain road behind Shangqinghe Village, and then took them to climb Qingtai Mountain, and to their surprise, there was also a half-new Beijing jeep parked near them. There was no one in the car, and it seemed that they had already gone up the hill first.

Zhao Xinwei said with a smile: "I also said that the incense is not prosperous." Look at the people who have already gone up the mountain. ”

Zhang Yang said with a smile: "It's just a car, not to mention that people don't have to burn incense when they come here!" ”

Zhao Xinwei wanted to carry his sister, but Zhao Xinhong insisted on going by himself, and after walking less than a mile, he couldn't support it, under Zhao Xinwei's persuasion, he still let him carry it, and they walked towards Qingyun Peak, the last time Zhang Yang accompanied Zuo Xiaoqing over, it took more than two hours, although the physical strength of the three of them was no problem, but they had to carry Zhao Xinhong's serious illness, so the speed of progress was significantly slowed down, and Zhao Xinwei couldn't hold it after carrying it for a while, so he replaced it with Zhang Yang.

Du Yufeng had seen the amazing physical strength that Zhang Yang showed on his back that night, so he had no intention of replacing it, so he let Zhang Yang carry it all the time, anyway, this guy wanted to use his performance to influence Zhao Xinhong, Zhao Xinwei also saw that Zhang Yang's physical strength was amazing, although his physical fitness was good, but after all, he usually lived in the county, and it was already very difficult to walk this kind of mountain road, let alone carry another person on his back. So he was polite and just let Zhang Yang carry his eldest sister on his back.

Zhao Xinhong couldn't stand it anymore, and reprimanded softly: "Why are you two embarrassed to bully Zhang Yang!" ”

Zhao Xinwei said with a smile: "Sister, I can't do this physical strength, I am young and strong, and those who can work hard." ”

Du Yufeng helped: "Sister Zhao, don't worry. Zhang Yang is notoriously tired, and last time he walked for two hours with a big beauty on his back, he was like no one. ”

Zhao Xinhong also laughed out loud: "People are big beauties, I'm an old woman",

Zhang Yang smiled: "Sister Zhao, it's my honor to carry you up the mountain!" ”

Zhao Xinwei quipped: "Brother, your mouth is very sweet, do you want to ask my sister for something?" He heard about Zhang Yang from Du Yufeng. So deliberately knocked on the side.

Zhang Yang said: "The relationship between our brothers, what do you want or not, what I want now is to carry Sister Zhao to Zixia Guan to burn a pillar of peace incense, bless Sister Zhao with peace and health, and recover her health as soon as possible." The meaning of these words was too obvious, but Zhao Xinhong was a little moved when she heard it. He said softly, "I'm sorry for you." ”

At this time, two figures appeared in front of him, an old man wearing a gray Tang suit and black cloth shoes. The other is a tall girl wearing a black baseball cap and a black sports suit, the two of them are probably tired of walking, and they are sitting on the stones on the side of the road to rest, when they see Zhang Yang coming, the girl stood up, Riwei was wearing wide sunglasses, and she was wearing a mask on her mouth and nose, so she couldn't see her true face clearly, she said in a somewhat stiff Mandarin: "A few gentlemen, how far is it from Qingyun Zhuhai here?" ”

Zhang Yang knew that the Qingyun Bamboo Sea she was talking about was located near the stone house where Chen Chongshan lived, where there was also a cottage where horse thieves in the old society had settled, and pointed to the front and said: "It's about half an hour to walk, just right, where are we going, you follow us!" ”

The girl politely thanked her, and then went to the side of the road to pick up the old man, who followed Du Yufeng's pace with a cane and said, "Young man, has this Qingyun Mountain ever been a horse bandit?" "He speaks the authentic Chunyang dialect.

Du Yufeng said with a smile: "Yes, but it's all before the liberation, in the past, those horse thieves set up camp on Qingyun Peak, and went down the mountain to rob from time to time, making a living by intercepting merchants from Pinghai and Beiyuan." ”

Zhang Yang said: "Among them, there is one of the most famous bandits named An Dabeard, I heard that when that guy was alive, he killed people and set fire to bully men and women. ”

Zhao Xinwei said: "I've heard of it too." It is said that women in the area of Montenegro now coax their children to sleep and say, if you don't sleep anymore, An Dabeard will come to you, not to mention that it really works, and the child will not cry when he hears An Dabeard! Several people laughed at the same time, and the old man also laughed quite happily, but the girl stared at Zhang Yang coldly through her sunglasses, and the reason why she was disgusted with Zhang Yang was because this guy laughed the most rampantly.

Du Yufeng said with a smile: "Zhang Yang, speaking of which, you have a bit of fate with this bearded man." ”

Zhang Yang said with a depressed face: "You said that this An Dabeard didn't do anything good during his lifetime, but his descendants lived a very prosperous life, his son fled to Hong Kong before liberation, and turned into a patriotic businessman, the times are changing really fast!" ”

Zhao Xinwei said with a smile: "Rich is the uncle." At the time of the Cultural Revolution, the descendants of such bandits were not dead, they were dead! The crowd laughed at the same time.

The old man said with a smile: "So it's better for the party and the government, for such a guilty bad element, we can open our minds to accommodate them regardless of their previous suspicions, and give them a chance to reform themselves." ”

Zhang Yang said: "I think the government is too conniving with them, and there is a way to be a hero of Lao Tzu." Lao Tzu is a horse thief and must be a bastard, and this old man is definitely not a good thing. ”

The girl quietly bit her lower lip and kicked a small pebble, and the pebble swished! The ground flew out with a thud and slammed into the trunk of a tree in front of it. actually knocked off a small piece of bark, Zhang Yang was stunned in his heart, he didn't expect that the power of this girl's kick was so powerful. House of Fiction

The old man smiled kindly: "The newspapers say that this An Zhiyuan is a patriotic businessman, how can you conclude that people are not good things?" ”

Zhang Yang said: "Aren't there just two stinky money." I thought that what was wrong with me, using my so-called influence to put pressure on the government, you said that in addition to building a few dilapidated primary schools and making an image project, what good things did you do for your hometown? That is, the government is used to him, what kind of patriotic businessman, I don't think it's a fart. ”

Du Zifeng also helped: "Now there are liars everywhere, I can't imagine that An Zhiyuan is a Hong Kong food, and he will become a celebrity when he comes to us." ”

Zhao Xinwei shook his head with a smile and said, "Lao Du." You are wrong, An Zhiyuan is really rich, I heard that there are several listed companies in Hong Kong. There are five aunts and wives, and there are countless lovers behind the scenes, and two days ago I read the newspaper that this old man has another Hong Kong sister."

"It's an old rascal!" Zhang Yang's expression was exaggerated, and several people laughed in unison.

The old man smiled and said, "I heard that An Zhiyuan is over seventy years old, and such a big person still has the energy to do those fancy things?" ”

Zhang Yang smiled and said: "Old man, have you ever heard of a sentence, that makes people not old-hearted, to say something offensive, you don't think about it when you see the beautiful little girl now?" ”

The old man smiled and pointed at Zhang Yang: "You kid is really funny!" ”

Several people talked and chatted, and the conversation was quite speculative. The old man was cheerful and outgoing, and he let out loud laughter from time to time when he talked to Zhang Yang.

The stone house on the slope of the whole mountain finally appeared in everyone's field of vision, Zhang Yang knew that Chen Chongshan liked to be quiet, and did not go to disturb him, and pointed to the direction behind the stone house and said, "Old man." Behind the stone house is Qingyun Bamboo Sea, let's break up here! ”

The old man smiled and nodded: "Thank you a few of you, by the way, young man, I haven't asked for your name yet!" ”

"Publicity!" Zhang Yang said with a big grin, but he didn't know that this name had been firmly remembered by the silent girl.

When they were about to leave, Zhao Xinhong lay on Zhang Yang's body weakly, and said in a trembling voice: "My chest hurts so much......

Zhang Yang hurriedly put her down, and Zhao Xinwei went to get morphine tablets and boiling water, because the thermos cup in his panic was overturned, and it was even more unlucky. This time, because of the panic that came out, I actually forgot about the pain relief at home. Zhao Xinhong's face was pale, and cold sweat was already all over his face in an instant. Zhang Yang saw that she was in such pain, and his fingers hit her in several ** places one after another, and Zhao Xinhong felt that the pain in his chest was slightly relieved.

At this time, the girl walked back and handed a bottle of mineral water to Zhao Xinhong.

Zhao Xinwei hurriedly unscrewed the cap of the bottle and fed it to his sister.

Zhao Xinhong took a breath and asked the girl to smile gratefully: "Thank you...

The old man also walked back, but his eyes looked at Zhang Yang, full of surprise: "Will you order **?" ”

Zhang Yang said with a smile: "I once learned two hands from a blind man who massaged, and I am not very proficient, which makes the old man laugh!" From the old man's words, Zhang Yang heard that the other party should have some understanding of the point** technique. Otherwise, he wouldn't be able to judge from his actions just now that he would click **.

The old man smiled meaningfully, came to Zhao Xinhong, and said with a pleasant face: "I know some medical theories, why don't I help you with the pulse?" ”

Zhao Xinhong hesitated for a moment but still stretched out her hand, and the old man was on her veins, his eyes drooping slightly. After a long while, I opened my eyes again. exuded a look of helplessness.

Zhao Xinhong smiled indifferently: "If the old gentleman has anything to say, just say it directly, I know my own condition, and for me, being able to live one more day in this world is earned." ”

The old man sighed and said: "I can't imagine that you see life so thoroughly, in fact, the most important thing for people to live in the world is to make every day meaningful, regardless of the length of life, there are so many people who care about you and love you, which is a kind of happiness in itself."

Zhao Xinhong smiled and said: "Listening to the old gentleman's words here, my heart is much more comfortable. ”

The old man smiled: "There are no absolutes in the world, maybe there will be a turnaround." He glanced at Zhang Yang again. Only then did he and his granddaughter walk towards Qingyun Zhuhai.

When Zhao Xinhong was almost rested, the group continued to walk towards Zixiaguan, Zhao Xinwei and Du Yufeng did not realize the effect of Zhang Yang's ** just now, but Zhao Xinhong was clear, after Zhang Yang hit her **, the pain on her body was almost instantly alleviated, even if she took painkillers in the past, there was no such miraculous effect, as a medical worker, she began to re-examine the young man in front of her.

Zixia Temple is still that tattered appearance, Zixia real person Li Xinyi is sitting lazily in the courtyard basking in the sun, and even Zhang Yang and the four of them walked into the Taoist Temple without attracting any attention from him, squinting and sitting on the bench as if he was about to fall asleep.

Zhao Xinwei helped his sister to go to the Laojun Palace to offer incense, Du Yufeng and Li Xinyi had met in the past, and he shook it happily: "Daochang Li, I haven't seen you for more than a year and your demeanor is still the same!" ”

Li Xinyi opened one left eye and looked at Du Yufeng in a strange way, and it took a long time to remember what Du Yufeng was doing, nodded to say hello, and then his eyelids drooped again, obviously not wanting to be disturbed by others.

Du Yufeng also felt a little bored and smiled. After going around and coming to Zhang Yang, who was admiring the inscription, he saw Zhang Yang reciting lightly: "I don't see the ancients before, I don't see the people who come after, and I read the world and the world." Alone and weeping! He praised good poetry. This poem was written by Chen Zidai in the Tang Dynasty, and of course Zhang Daguan would not know what happened after him.

Du Yufeng didn't have any cells, he stood aside from afar and looked at Zhang Yang shaking his head, and said in his heart, this kid is sour, don't bother him.

The last time Zhang Yang came, he mainly accompanied Zuo Xiaoqing to watch the sunrise, and he didn't notice that there were so many inscriptions in Zixia Temple, and now he had the opportunity to appreciate it carefully, but he saw a line of words written on a tablet: The easiest is to be an official, this passage aroused Zhang Yang's great interest, and they all said that the career was difficult and dangerous, how could anyone say that?

Li Xinyi didn't know when he came to his side, he had already recognized Zhang Yang as the one who came to watch the sunrise with Chen Xue and another girl that day, because of Chen Chongshan's relationship, he was more friendly to Zhang Yang than others, and said in a low voice: "Do you know the source of this passage?" ”

Zhang Yang shook his head and said, "Please also ask the Taoist for advice!" ”

Li Xinyi stroked the white goatee under his chin and said: "This passage was said by Li Hongzhang, an important minister of the Manchu Qing Dynasty. There are people above and more people at the bottom of this big official, and he will explain the things that the top has to do, so he doesn't have to do anything. ”

Zhang Yang said: "It's easy to be an official, but it's not easy to be a good official." ”

Li Xinyi said: "What is a good official? The highest realm of being an official is in line with the realm of my Dao Law, that is, ruling by inaction! The more inactive and inactive people are, the easier it is for them to sit firmly in their positions and become big officials. ”

Zhang Yang couldn't help laughing, this old Taoist priest is really funny, as a Taoist disciple, he actually used this fallacy to explain the true meaning of ruling by doing nothing, Zhang Yang said: "The real meaning of rule by doing nothing means that doing nothing: following the laws of nature and not acting rashly; Governance is governance. He does not act recklessly, but makes the world governed. This was originally a norm governing individual behavior. ”

When Li Xinyi heard Zhang Yang's words, his eyes unconsciously showed a bit of appreciation, and he couldn't imagine that this kid would have such an opinion at such a young age. No wonder Chen Chongshan's old man admired him very much, and was about to argue with Zhang Yang, when he saw another old man and a young man coming in from outside the door, Li Xinyi frowned, and walked to the backyard without saying a word.

Zhang Yang didn't know why the old Taoist priest left suddenly, turned around to look, but saw that the two grandfathers and grandsons he met on the way up the mountain just now also came to Zixia Temple. Seeing that the old man walked steadily and calmly, he had already speculated in his heart that this old man was also a martial artist, otherwise how could he climb Qingyun Peak on foot at his age.

The old man said hello to Zhang Yang, and his eyes fell on the stone tablet engraved with the easiest to be an official, he looked at it carefully, and concluded that these words were not written by Li Hongzhang himself, and couldn't help laughing: "The easiest is to be an official, I don't think Li Hongzhang's official is very good, if he is a good official." How could the late Qing Dynasty fall to that point? ”

Du Yufeng finally found an opportunity to interject: "Old man, I should blame Cixi's old lady for that matter, didn't she say that she used all the military expenses of the Beiyang Navy Division to repair the garden?" ”

The old man sighed and said: "In all Chinese dynasties, the word ** has never disappeared from the political arena, human nature!" ”

Du Yufeng said: "Actually, it's nothing for officials to be greedy, what I'm most afraid of is the kind of people who are corrupt and don't do things for the people." ”

Zhao Xinwei walked out with his sister in his arms. smiled: "I said buddy, let's not talk about political affairs when we go out." ”

Seeing that it was already noon, Zhao Xinwei was worried that his sister was hungry, so he beckoned the two of them to choose a place outside the Taoist temple to eat, Zhao Xinhong brought some egg pancakes and divided them between Zhang Yang and Du Yufeng, and asked Zhao Xinwei to send two to the old man. The gift is still exchanged, and someone just gave her a bottle of water. No matter what, you have to show something.

The old man was very kind, and ate pancakes and got together with them, but his granddaughter seemed to be isolated, and walked alone to the viewing platform to enjoy the scenery.

A few people chatted about the topic and came to An Dabeard's body, or the old man took the initiative to mention it, when he went to Qingyun Zhuhai just now, he visited the Black Wind Village where the horse thieves were entrenched. sighed: "Qingyunfeng tourism resources are really a lot, but lack of development, if developed, famous, will definitely bring a lot of tourism income to Chunyang." ”

Du Yufeng said: "Not to mention Qingyun Peak, there are countless large and small scenery on the entire Qingtai Mountain. It's just that people don't know it in the depths, it's a pity! "This guy actually dragged out a poem in a crepe, but unfortunately it didn't pay much attention.

Zhang Yang smiled: "What does the old gentleman do?" ”

The old man smiled: "My surname is Li, and I am a retired employee of the Chunyang Cultural Bureau, no, I am trying to collect some materials and write a novel about the bearded horse bandit."

"Writer!" Du Yufeng's eyes widened and exclaimed.

The old man said happily: "I'm not a writer, but the tofu cubes in the newspaper have published a few articles, and this kind of tome is the first time I've tried it." It's a pity that there aren't many remnants left in the Black Wind Village. ”

Zhang Yang suddenly remembered something: "Old man, have you been to the tomb of An Dabeard?" ”
