Chapter 30: Scenery and Stratagem
The next day, we stepped on the bus to Xiangxi, before getting on the bus, I was very nervous to look around, trying to see if the person was not there, but there were unfamiliar faces all around, and the person did not appear. (You can find this site)
Sitting on the bus, my mind is very uncalm, I have a lot of questions that I can't figure out, but I can't figure it out, as the saying goes, interlacing is like separating mountains, as a Taoist priest, I have been exposed to a lot of supernatural, ordinary people can't imagine things, but when I meet this thing about Gu art, the same, I don't understand anything, just like ordinary people don't understand metaphysics.
It seems that it is really different from what has been learned. Whoever is just an ordinary person.
Brother Chengxin sat next to me, and when he saw me thinking hard, he suddenly said: "Xiangxi, the mountains and rivers are treacherous, and the roads are difficult to travel, but the scenery is intoxicating, and it is also one of the few places in our country where you can still find some medicinal materials and medicine primers." Master and I have been here many times. This time, let's go to Phoenix County first, shall we? ”
The car was driven to Jishou City, originally as soon as we arrived at the place, we went non-stop to the county seat we wanted to go, but we didn't want to accept that Brother Cheng suddenly said that he wanted to go to Phoenix, what does that mean?
It's a pity that in the face of my searching eyes, he just smiled and said: "People have a lot to do and solve in this life." If it's not imminent, then it's not a bad thing to be in a relaxed mood and see more scenery along the way. In just a few decades, we all have to see it. ”
After speaking, Brother Chengxin didn't say anything, but stretched his waist, then took out a towel, folded it neatly, put it on the back of his neck, and then slept very peacefully, which made me shush, this guy will enjoy it.
The car went smoothly to Jishou City, in fact, when entering the scope of Jishou City, I found that my eyes were not enough, the scenery along the way has successfully caught my eyes, whether it is the majestic mountains, fresh flowing water, large farmland, or the curling smoke, are so beautiful, just like an oil painting of life, amazing.
Suddenly, a relaxed mood also emanated from the bottom of my heart, just as Brother Chengxin said, life is just a few decades, don't just rush because of the road, forget the scenery along the way, the end of the person is just the reincarnation of life, the scenery along the way is the most valuable wealth of life.
That's right, the scenery along the way is like this, over and over again, again and again, with the beauty of nature, wash our hearts, so that our hearts can finally return to nature, this is what God wants to tell us.
I don't know if I was integrated into this scene, or if this scene infected me, in short, before leaving, my anxious state of mind was almost gone, and when I got off the bus, I actually had a smile on my face.
With such a mood, we were very safe in Jishou City for two days, it is estimated that I and Brother Chengxin's mood was also infected with crispy meat and Qinhuai, these two guys are also very quiet, and I have a happy tour of the mountains and rivers, eat and drink, see beautiful women, very happy, especially crispy meat, this kid almost forgot about the poison in his body.
"This is life, Lao Tzu suddenly felt that he didn't want to make money, so he wanted to slowly walk through the great rivers and mountains of our China. But if you don't make money, you can't leave, it's really annoying. "This is the exclamation of crispy meat.
"Brother, I want to too, but how can I be so free? What about responsibilities to family and friends? Life is so helpless. Qin Huai also sighed like this.
As for me, I think very simply, everyone yearns for a clean and pure life, but such a clean and pure and lazy is only a step apart, it is precisely these responsibilities, cause and effect can be experienced in the heart, in the eyes of a heart, where is not the scenery?
At least, in an ordinary cottage, the family eats warmly, and that is also a landscape.
However, I asked myself that I did not have such a state, and that only by being close to nature could my thoughts be more natural. Relying on external factors is not your own natural way after all.
The three of us traveled to the mountains and rivers, but Brother Chengxin was busy, he was busy going to some local places that I am afraid only he knew, collecting medicinal materials, when we were about to set off to Phoenix, he had collected a lot of medicinal materials, please ask a local acquaintance of his, help him dry, said that it will be taken later.
I originally thought that Brother Chengxin's original intention was just to let us relax and face the next bad situation, but I didn't want this gentle-looking man to have another intention, and it had a peculiar effect, so that when I saw people studying medicine later, I would instinctively feel that people studying medicine were much more thoughtful than ordinary people.
――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――
Two days later, we arrived in Fenghuang County, which was not yet a well-known tourist destination at that time, and was relatively closed.
Here, I can already feel the different style, the scenery of Miaojiang.
Seeing the clear Tuojiang River flowing through here, watching the smoke curling from the stilted buildings by the water, walking on the bluestone road, and carefully looking at each building, the unique patterns make me feel simple and beautiful.
"How? You don't regret coming here, do you? Brother Chengxin stopped my shoulder and said.
"Well, well, I often dream of living in a place like this, with my family and friends, and never leaving for the rest of my life. Even if others say that I am a dumpling and have never seen the world, even if I will live a very poor life, coarse tea and light rice, I am the reason. "I told Brother Chengxin very seriously.
"Chengyi, I didn't expect you to have such feelings, listen to poetry." Brother Chengxin showed a signature smile, and then looked at me very seriously, and said, "Do you know where your pain is?" ”
I couldn't react all of a sudden, where is my pain, why did Brother Chengxin suddenly say this?
He touched his chin, suddenly smiled again, and said in a very ordinary, his characteristic gentle tone: "The reason is that you are just a man who is content with an ordinary life in your bones, but the reality is a child's life, but you are the heir of the mountain lineage, you can't shirk fate and responsibility, and it is contrary to your ideals." Therefore, I hope that every day you spend, whether it is thrilling or calm, you can treat it as your ordinary life and deal with it safely. ”
I looked at Brother Chengxin in some surprise and found that I didn't know him at all, but he did know me.
Seeing my surprised expression, Brother Chengxin patted me on the shoulder and said, "Don't look at me like this, these words were all said by your master to my master, and then I remembered them. However, you are the hardest. Haha"
I looked at him helplessly, and said in my heart, how do I think you are gloating?
In this way, we are a group of four, chatting, very leisurely walking in the ancient town, Brother Chengxin said that he has acquaintances here, so he can have a small courtyard to live, I am amazed, why he has acquaintances in Jishou City, and he also has acquaintances in a county here?
But that's good, at least walking around the town, I can't think of any place to stay in a hostel, maybe there is, and I don't want to stay.
Sure enough, after missing for an hour, Brother Chengxin found the three of us playing in the water by the river, and then took us into an alley, in the middle of the alley, he really found a small wooden building for us to live in.
I don't know where the original owner of this place went, anyway, we went in, there was no one here, but all the living facilities were very complete, I even saw hanging, air-dried bacon.
Crispy Meat and Qin Huai didn't think so much, as soon as they entered the house, they were fascinated by the freshness of the house, especially the fire pit in the house, and Qin Huai shouted to make a barbecue meeting.
As for Brother Chengxin, when he walked into the house, he asked me to take off my clothes, I was very 'frightened', what was he going to do?
Brother Chengxin smiled and said to me, "Do you think I don't look like a girl likes me?" And then, do you see me like you? Asking but not getting it? So, you can rest assured that you can take off your clothes. ”
My day, if it weren't for the fact that it looked like it was the same door, I would definitely smoke him, absolutely.
As a result, he just threw away the gauze that I had bandaged on my shoulder, and then washed it with hot water several times, and then said reassuringly: "Well, the medicine I took should not work now, so let's just live here." Don't object, after you told me your guess that day, I called Uncle Li, and Uncle Li said that he discussed it with several other uncles, so let us do it. ”
"Where?" I was a little stupid and didn't react.
"Oh, don't take any medicine, remember here with your seal. Stay until you have a guest. ”
