With a flick of a finger, 30 years passed quickly. Middle-aged people love mountain love the water. It's also a coincidence that I can go this time. Brother Fang and I live upstairs, and his hometown is there. I heard him say that he has been a village party secretary there for fifteen years, and I can say that there is no clearer picture of his hometown than him. In recent years, he loved photography and devoted himself to discovering and publicizing the beauty of buried hills. His original intention of revitalizing his hometown as an old branch secretary has never changed, which can be described as pure love. I asked him to be a guide, but he readily agreed and had to go. There are two other new friends who are not familiar with each other. They both want to see the beautiful Houshan and enjoy the majestic Tianzhu Mountain.
The destination of this trip is Heping Village (formerly Wuyan Village) in Shuihou Town, bordering Longtan Township and located in the northeast of Tianzhu Mountain, a national 5A-level tourist attraction. We took the Longtan Line. After crossing the Longtan Bridge, the car turned right and started climbing the mountain in less than a mile. Cement pavement, gentle slope and wide road, dense bamboo forests on both sides, and many tall and stout people. Car dealers, a listen to the sound, the stream gurgling; But see the sun shadow mottled, wild flowers brilliant; Farmhouse pavilions and courtyards are scattered all over the roadside. It is really "a long stream of water on the curved stone, and the pine sharpens the sun", which is fascinating. He said that Laos felt the convenience of transportation along the way; "Our generation has caught up with the good times, and things that people never dreamed of for thousands of years have actually become a reality! Since then, the history of shoulder to shoulder has ended. I can't believe this is true. " Yes, "I can't believe it's true" is the best summary and the most personal experience of the rural areas that have undergone great changes. For thousands of years, people here have to go down the mountain for almost half a day, most of them shoulder heavy burdens, sweating and exhausted; Now it only takes an hour to go back and forth, which saves a lot of hard work. As long as people who have experienced it, their feelings are particularly profound.
Less than half an hour up the mountain, Laos said to take us to Longtan boundary to see a scenic spot first. The car turned into a fork in the road and soon got on Lingtou. When I looked up, I was suddenly enlightened. When I got off the bus, I looked in the direction of Laos' fingers and saw dense forests and valleys, arched mountains, towering Tianzhu and lonely clouds. Standing here, overlooking the railing, a modest place, neither high nor low, not dangerous. The mountain wind is blowing, the distance is calm, I fly happily, and there is a feeling of "I want to go home by wind". Then, the car went all the way down to the bottom of the valley, with towering bamboo forests and shaded floors all the way, as if it had suddenly broken into a paradise. The first thing you see is several families scattered on both sides of the stream, all of which are adobe houses with wooden doors and windows, which are ancient and simple. Most of the doors are locked and locked, and no one lives in them for a long time. I saw coarse clothes hanging on wooden stakes and bamboo poles at the door of one or two houses. Laos said that only a few left-behind elderly people live here all the year round. They also turn a blind eye to us, probably knowing that we are just passers-by watching the scenery. I wonder how Laos brought us to this place. Looking up, I walked through a dense bamboo forest and suddenly saw the waterfall behind the bamboo forest. It seemed that I heard the sound of the waterfall falling and running at the same time. I smiled and said, "You have found the right guide. If you were not familiar with this place, we would never have met this waterfall hidden in the boudoir. " Stepping on a soft and dark bamboo road and turning a boulder, the whole waterfall hangs in front of you, taking in everything in a glance. Laos said, "This is the waterfall of the river." Standing here looking up at the sky, the valley is narrow and the sky is high, the cliff is steep, the rocks are rugged, the water is splashing, the fog is dense, and the sound of gold and jade is endless. Laos took out his camera and took pictures. This is a great pleasure. I think the realm of "endless poverty, sitting on a stone and forgetting to return" mentioned by Wang is also the best ode here. When I came back, I found a wooden corridor shaped by the situation, and a row of wooden railings were built near the stream. I looked at the mist, listened to the murmuring water at dusk, forgot the gains and losses, and felt at ease, and the master was at my fingertips.
After returning to the main road, we soon reached the boundary of Shuihou Town. The mountains are higher, the scenery is more pleasant, the air is fresher, and Tan Xing in Laos is thicker. At this time, what we talk about most is bamboo. He said that bamboo is full of treasures. One of my colleagues, Zong, is a potential Shanghai businessman. She still knows little about the function of bamboo. Lao Fang quickly explained: "Bamboo branches can be made into big brooms, and bamboo leaves are good green manure. Sun-dried bamboo can be used to make all kinds of exquisite bamboo utensils, for home use or viewing, and also for making paper. Winter bamboo shoots and bamboo shoots are authentic farmhouse cuisine. " While speaking, there happened to be a bamboo processing factory by the roadside. The fire in the ground stove is burning brightly, and the workers are making a big broom out of bamboo branches. I can't help but think of the "Jinggang Cuizhu" I have seen before, saying that "the bamboo leaves are burned and there are bamboo branches; Bamboo branches are broken and there are bamboo whips; The bamboo whip has been cut, and there are bamboo roots deep underground, which shows the tenacious vitality of bamboo, and I admire the villagers who live next to bamboo for generations and have the same tenacious spirit and simple character.
Soon, Laos told us to get off and said that we must see an old house on the roadside. When we approached, we realized that it was a "snake-shaped old house" that was listed as a protected object by the Housing and Construction Bureau of Qianshan City and the Cultural Committee of Qianshan City in 20 18 10. The old house is built on the mountain, with earth walls and black tiles and bamboo forests; The road is paved with stone slabs, and the fangs are different. After years of trampling, it has become smoother. When you walk on a stone, you will know that the mountain is deep. Into the main room, there is a patio in the middle, covered with moss and fine grass. There is an ancestral tablet in the middle, the candlestick is sake, and the incense lasts forever. The couplets on both sides are faintly discernible. Right book "Slope Victor Hoo Chi-tsai for a long time", Zuo Shu "Hejian family sounds like the sun and the moon are long". A few figures have told the ins and outs of this family and good wishes. We walked out of the West Ear Gate and allowed one person to go out. Tianzhu was opposite, with undulating peaks and broad boundaries. There is a poplar tree below the left side of the old house, which is a hundred years old with a huge crown and green leaves. There are two wells under the tree, and the water is particularly clear. It used to be a place for washing clothes, washing rice and washing vegetables. It must be a cool place in midsummer. Well-preserved, difficult to call.
After coming out of the old house, the four of us drove straight to Laos' old house. Lao Fang's old mother is over 70 years old and still healthy and happy. The old man said that we arrived at "the first house in Tianzhu Houshan" today. I asked the old man how this "first family" came about. The old man said that her home is the closest to Tianzhu Mountain in this village. At this time, Laos also went on to explain that his home is only about ten miles away from the main peak of Tianzhu Mountain, and it takes only one hour to climb the main peak by mountain road from here. The old man also said that there were fields cultivated by Zhou people on the opposite hillside, which made people feel like they were separated by a layer. Laos said he wanted to dig a pond in the open space in front of the old house so that he could see the reflection of Tianzhu Mountain when he went out. Standing outside the door of Lao Fang's house, opposite the tip of the gong, facing the main peak of Tianzhu Mountain. Because the mountain is crawling, there is another scene here to see Tianzhu Mountain, which is not as towering as the previous two places and goes straight into the sky. The main peak is sometimes misty and looming; Sometimes the truth is revealed and nothing is shown. In the blurred changes, I feel a little delicate and add a little charm. This must be because of the short distance and high terrain. I can't help thinking: I really jumped out of the three realms, not in the five elements.
At this time, two ladies in the same trade found pieces of wheat bubbles on the wasteland next to them. They don't care about being stabbed by thorns, so heaven explored the road and picked them. I grew up in the mountains, and this is the first time I have seen such a big wheat bubble in my life. I picked a few and put them in my mouth and chewed them gently. The taste of hours stimulated my taste buds again, and "wild strawberry" really lived up to its reputation.
They picked it back, and Laos said they would take us to see the bamboo sea. I think: I am submerged in this vast sea of people every day. I have seen the real sea, the beautiful forest and sea of clouds in my hometown, and even the beautiful sea of flowers. But today I walked all the way through the bamboo sea, but I didn't appreciate the scenery of the bamboo sea. We came to a short mountain about 50 meters away from his home, where we looked down and there were lush bamboos everywhere. Gloomy, overlapping, tall and straight, graceful, dense, endless, endless. It suddenly occurred to me that Su Shi said, "Eating without meat is better than living without bamboo. No meat makes people thin, no bamboo makes people vulgar. People are thin and fat, and vulgarity is incurable. " Coming here can really let you enjoy the ethereal spirit for a while. Laos talked with his colleague Mr. Zheng about his dream with great interest, which can also be said to be the blueprint of his hometown. He wants to find people with lofty ideals to build several light steel single homestays on the mountain at our feet. There is a high-powered telescope on the balcony of each room, where he can watch the misty sea of clouds, ten thousand mu of bamboo sea and Tianzhu peaks during the day, watch the vast starry sky and the vast galaxy at night, listen to the sound of waves, take photos and sketch, get rid of fatigue, get rid of the world of mortals, embrace himself and return to nature. When Laos talked about it, I was fascinated. He also said that he wanted to upgrade the forest operation channel to leisure trails, bamboo pavilions and stone houses, wild sea bream and healthy and leisure oxygen-enriched ions, which was the best. He went on to say that there are many idle houses here, which can be developed in the direction of homestay, transformed and turned into treasures. Then vigorously carry out outdoor mountaineering tour, farming experience tour, craft research tour and other forms of cultural tourism activities. After listening to his words, I was also surprised to remember that since the car entered the village, almost all the old houses I saw along the way were still in the 1970 s and 1980 s, and some houses were still four-water structures. This kind of original ecological building is rare in rural areas now, let alone retaining its original scale, which is really unique in our hidden land. It is an orphan in the countryside in the past, and it is out of print to regain memory. Immersed in the scene, the lost teenager finally found his way home here, and the long-lost village finally saw her original appearance here. I sincerely hope that Laos' dreams will come true one by one in the near future. If you want to cultivate your self-cultivation or look for homesickness, I believe this place can give you more or less spiritual conversion.
When I came back, I took the road of Leigongjing Power Station, and the road was widening. Laos said that after completion, it will be the highway around Tianzhu Mountain. The scenery along the way is also very pleasant, especially the section of Leigongjing Power Station. Laos said that every late autumn, Feng Dan is like a fire, with red leaves all over the mountains, mountains and rivers set each other off, birds return, and the movement is harmonious, so I can't forget to return.
On the way back, we enjoyed the beautiful scenery and the local feelings of Laos. He said with great emotion: "My idea is to use my life to achieve your poetry and distance!" " . Listening to Lao Fang's humble and confident confession, I think: even near the beautiful scenery, you should have the courage to leave, otherwise you will miss many beautiful waits of nature.
I'd rather say: friend, go if you want, and find a date there that has been waiting for you for 1000 years. (Text/Ni Jianjun Photography/Fang Chun)
