Chapter 166 Chapter 1 Shidu

In Beijing in May, the sun is scorching like fire.Walking on the tree-lined street, you will also be a little out of breath from the heat wave on the ground.The sycamore trees on both sides of the road also seemed to be sick. The leaves were covered with a layer of dust and drooped on the branches, and even the branches were lazily motionless. The weather was sweltering hot all day long, there was no wind, and the thick air seemed to be frozen. Da Ya was shirtless in an unsightly way, fanning his hands on his back like a fan, complaining to me, "Lai Liang, if I knew Beijing was so hot, we would just stay in the Northeast. This foreign crime is all sunburned!"

I also sweated down my face from the heat, wiped it with my hands, and squinted my eyes to look at the sky. The blue sky, the sun hanging like a fireball, and even the clouds seemed to be roasted by the sun, and they disappeared without a trace long ago. Da Ya kept whining in my ear, and I was also a little restless, and I felt a burst of regret. If I had known this summer would be so sweltering, I would never have come back to Beijing. Looking at the hot and sweaty big teeth.I suddenly thought of a place, stretched out my big hand and patted Da Ya, and told Da Ya that it would be better to go to "Shidu" for a few days.

When Da Ya heard about the summer vacation, he suddenly regained his energy. He even asked me several times, and asked me curiously where Shidu was, and why I had never heard of it. I glanced at him and snorted: "What do you know? There are many places you haven't heard of. If you want to talk about Shidu, it's not bragging. There is a saying, yes, it's 'Shidu' Crossing the mountains and rivers is the best in the world, and the wonders of the north are small Guilin'. I think that Lord Qianlong visited Shidu several times in the past, and left poems praising the scenery of Shidu. "

Da Ya was a little stunned when I said that, he blinked his eyes and looked at me, not sure if what I said was true or not.She pursed her mouth and kept rolling her eyes, probably thinking about Lord Qianlong. In fact, what I said was not lying to Da Ya, but it was all true. Shidu Scenic Area is famous for its unique karst landform. The bedrocks exposed along the canyons on both sides of the Juma River are almost all the flint bands and flint dolomite of the Wumishan Formation in the Mesoproterozoic, which is the largest in North China. Karst Peak Forest Grand Canyon. There are beautiful mountains and rivers.With steep valley walls, emerald peaks and forests, and beautiful rocks and caves, it is really a combination of the beauty of the southern country and the heroism of the northern country. It can be called "Northern Wonderland" and "Wonderland on Earth".

The mountains and rocks are dangerous, the peaks are dangerous, and the water is beautiful and beautiful. The peaks, rocks, gorges, water, caves, streams, and pools complement each other. Although I have visited twice before, I only played a small area of ​​it. If you play all over the area, it is estimated that you can't finish it without ten days and half a month. The two of us are bachelors, and we have nothing to do, so we went as soon as we said, and dared to go home and change our clothes. After the community, I took a taxi directly to Shidu. At first, Da Ya thought that he could get there in an hour or so, but unexpectedly, when he woke up from a nap, the car was still on the road.

Da Ya rubbed his eyes.He looked at his watch, opened his mouth exaggeratedly, and asked the driver: "Brother, how far is it? Haven't arrived in two hours?" The driver brother glanced at Da Ya, then stared straight ahead, and told Da Ya that if there was no traffic jam, he would arrive in about an hour. Da Ya almost fainted, he kept blaming me, if he had known it was so far away, he would have escaped the heat, and when he got there, it would almost be dark. The driver brother smiled after hearing what Da Ya said, and told Da Ya that the Shidu Scenic Area is still worth visiting, it is really fun.

Hearing the driver say the same thing, Da Ya didn’t doubt what I said at first. After pondering for a while, he turned to me and asked, “Lai Liang, the name ‘Shidu’ seems to come from Buddhism, right? Why did you choose this name?” son?" Before I could say anything, the driver brother rushed to tell Da Ya that "Shidu" is actually a valley formed by the Juma River, a tributary of the Daqing River, cutting the northern end of the Taihang Mountains. The ferry crossing the Juma River is called "Shidu".Although these ten ferry crossings have long been rebuilt into Manshui bridges and there is no real ferry crossing, the name Shidu has been used until now. It has been developed in recent years, and more and more people travel there.

I also nodded and told Da Ya.The driver brother is right, but what he said is also right, "Shidu" is indeed a Buddhist saying. "Shidu" is the abbreviation of "Shidu" is the abbreviation of "Shidu" in Buddhism, and "Shidu" is a symbol of success and fruitfulness.The Buddha said: Save all sentient beings in the world of the ten directions.Reborn in the Western Paradise of Ultimate Bliss and attained Buddhahood consummately. Hearing what I said, the driver couldn't help but looked back at me, then nodded to me: "Okay, brother, you're really educated. Today I also opened my eyes. I really didn't know that before." I've heard it said."

I smiled and didn't say anything. Not far after passing Zhangfang, it gradually entered the mountainous area.Looking out from the car window, you can see the stretch of green hills in the distance, and the green grass nearby, which is refreshing. The first thing to enter is Yidu. We will continue to go up along the road. After passing the second and third crossings, we will go up in turn. , and finally reach Shidu. Fortunately, there are wonderful peaks and beautiful waters along the way.It's endless, and I don't feel tired. Sitting in the car and enjoying the picturesque scenery around me, I feel much happier.

When we arrived at Shidu, it was already around five o'clock in the afternoon. Looking at the time, we couldn't play today, so we had to find a place to stay and go to play tomorrow. The villages and towns near here have been developed into resorts, and basically every farmhouse is open to the public.Da Ya and I found a family in the depths of the village to live in.The yard of this house is not very big, there are three brick houses.No one else is staying here except us, but it is very quiet, which just meets our requirements. If we are too close to those young people, we may not be able to sleep peacefully overnight.

The owners of this house are an elderly couple. The male owner is in his seventies, surnamed Tao, with a strong body and a thin old man with gray hair.At such an advanced age, he has a straight waist and speaks with confidence, greeting us one by one. His wife is clean and tidy, about the same age as him, with gray hair, tied in a bun, fastened with a hairpin that looks like chopsticks, and her accent sounds familiar, which suddenly reminds me of Mrs. Zhao Lirong. It is the standard Tangshan flavor. After the old couple led us to the residence, they chatted with us for a while, took the initiative to act as a guide, and talked about this interesting place one by one. Da Ya and I were dizzy when we heard it, and we didn’t remember it in the end. Several places, but still kept saying thanks. We ate some farm food for dinner, the food was simple, but the cooking was delicious. After eating and drinking enough, the two of us couldn't stay in the house, so we went to the small courtyard to enjoy the shade. There are tables, chairs and benches made of several wooden stakes in the yard, so Da Ya and I ordered two bottles of iced beer, and we didn’t have any appetizers. We looked at the stars and drank.There was a lot of small talk. While chatting, Da Ya's eyes suddenly became straight. When I saw Da Ya's eyes straighten, I was a little confused. If the beer hadn't gone down half a bottle, no matter how bad the drinking capacity was, it wouldn't be enough to drink half a bottle of beer like this? I followed Da Ya's gaze and looked forward suspiciously, and my eyes straightened immediately. The two of us are like two statues, with similar expressions and expressions, just like the second general Hengha in the temple, with our mouths open and eyes wide open, holding the wine bottle, motionless. After a long while, I woke up like a dream. I turned around and looked in the room, and saw the TV screen in the east room flickering. I guess it was Uncle Tao and the old couple watching a TV series.I quickly put down the wine bottle, gritted my teeth, and tiptoed towards the gate. Standing next to the gate is a door-stopping stone, about half a meter high. It is a long, square pillar with an estimated width of about 30 centimeters in cross-section, and patterns are carved all over the body.The patterns are carved in a mess, and it may have been aged for a long time, and some places have been worn flat, which is not easy to identify, but at first glance, it doesn't look like modern things. The rural gates are two double doors welded with iron plates. On the inner side of the gate, some iron rods or stone piles will be erected at the position where the gate is opened at 90 degrees to prevent the iron gate from hitting the courtyard wall.And the stone that blocks the door of Uncle Tao's house looks a bit unusual. It doesn't look like an ordinary garden stone carving, but it is so old-fashioned. Da Ya came closer, looked at it by the light in the yard, touched it with his hand, then turned his head and asked me in a low voice: "Come on, have you looked at it? This thing seems to be an old thing." I also squatted down and carefully touched Mosuo with my hands for a while, and it felt cool to start, and the pattern on it was also very smooth.I tried to push it back and forth with my hands, and it is estimated that the depth of the buried underground is at least about one meter. The two of us were almost lying on the ground, staring back and forth at this half of the stone pillar, Da Ya repeatedly touched the head of the pillar, and looked at me with a frown: "Lai Liang, look here, it seems that there is something messed up on it. It seems to be broken, and this connection is a bit tricky, but not as smooth as other places." I also touched it with my hand, and it was indeed as Da Ya said, the top was indeed a little rough. This kind of roughness is obviously man-made, not to mention the carving of this stone pillar, it is impossible to forget to polish the capital of the pillar, moreover, even the corners of the stone pillar have been ground so round and blunt, it is impossible for the pillar to remain so Sharp, it is obvious that the stigma was damaged in the later period, and it should not be too long from now. Da Ya looked at it and kept groping with his hands. The halazi was about to flow out. He suddenly pointed to the part close to the ground and asked me to take a closer look at the pattern. Does it look familiar?
