The next day, it was sunny. Xu Xiake is going to find the source of this Longqiu Waterfall-Dang, this is the Wild Goose Lake he is looking forward to. The tour guide sent him and his entourage to the summit and returned early. He thought that "the lake can sit at the top", but the guide told him that "the lake is in the west axil, but it takes three points". It turns out that this is a wrong guidance. "More than from it, and sharper, this road has always been unique; One more point, the summit has been half a day. " I thought it was wrong, so I "went east and looked at the highest peak of Dongfeng." This is how Xu Xiake recorded the next adventure-
April 14 (16 13) ... After crossing Erlingdong from the old road, there was no one there. The higher the mountain, the narrower the ridge, sandwiched on both sides, such as the back of a knife. The edge of the stone is angry again, and every time it crosses a ridge, that is, a steep mountain peak, it climbs up from the gap between swords. If there is, the third one, but it depends on the situation. Can Ann accommodate the lake? The summit of the mountain is like a stone, which is enough to fear the stone front. Hesitant on the cliff, afraid to go back to the old road.
Overlooking the south side of the stone wall, there was a step, so four slaves spread out and the cliff hung empty. First, the next slave, the rest starts with it, which means you can climb this road. Next, there is only enough space, no space. Watching the rocks fight, the bottom is as deep as 100 feet. I want to get up again, and the rocks above are embedded for more than 30 feet, so I can't fly. Try to hold a piece of cloth. The cloth was strangled by a sudden stone and suddenly stopped. If you keep hanging it, you will try your best to climb the rock again. Back to Yunjing Temple, it was getting west. The master and servant are poor in clothes and shoes, and they seek the rise and fall of the lake. After I left, I returned to Ba Long. After the rain accumulated, the surging waves poured in, which changed the extreme situation. It thundered and snowed twice as much as yesterday. Sit until you get off, and walk 40 miles south, Su Nengren Temple. ...
It is also conceivable that even if there are no robbers on the road, it is not easy to be a servant of Xu Xiake. Servants do not have Xu Xiake's hobbies and profound understanding of tourism, nor do they have the feelings of landscape poets to travel around the mountains, nor do they take it as their responsibility to explore the origin of tourism. Of course, they can't ride horses in sedan chairs as often as Xu Xiake. Being a servant of Xu Xiake may only be able to support his family for three dou meters, at the cost of being far away from his relatives and losing his life at any time.
In the twenty-four years when Yandang was in distress, Xu Xiake came to Nanning from Wan Li, but there was no news, and his servant Gu Hang was still there. At the moment, Xu Xiake is not a lonely couple. However, what's on Gu Hang's mind? Will he die quietly? Perhaps, the motivation for him to insist on accompanying Xu Xiake to Yunnan is the quiet ashes on his shoulder.
Does Xu Xiake care about Gu Hang? When Gu Xing was ill, Xu Xiake was not worried about Gu Xing's illness, but worried that no one was cooking. Although there is a distinction between master and servant, but all the way to sleep, through thick and thin * * *, at least, Xu Xiake should forget the identity of the master. I believe that Xu Xiake has no morality to Gu Hang-except that he took off a pair of trousers when Xiangjiang River was in distress and gave it to Gu Hang who was naked but was stabbed all over and moaned. It is poor Gu Xing who, in that particular disaster environment, triggered Xu Xiake's compassion for a person who is at the end of the world.
Xu Xiake doesn't have much pen and ink records about Gu Xing. However, Xu Xiake is very cloudy. He told us an ending-after they arrived in Yunnan, Gu Hang absconded with the money, and he was very sad. This means that Gu Hang's departure is a betrayal of Xu Xiake as the host, that is, "abandoning Yu Wanli". Gu Xing's departure is a villain's behavior and immoral behavior. Xu Xiake said that if he wants to go, he can't stop it. Let him go. Seems very tolerant.
