Chapter 36: Quarry Rock

At noon, the sun was blazing.

The scorching sun scorched the earth, and the trees chirped, and the saplings that flourished in the morning drooped their heads and died. A few men working in the fields sat in the shade of the trees to enjoy the coolness, fanning their fans from time to time.

On a beachhead on a tributary of the Yangtze River, several teenagers are playing by the river.

Chen Yiping sat on a disc-shaped boulder by the river, sat cross-legged, looked at the vast river in front of him, and couldn't help but sigh: "The water of the Yangtze River comes up from the sky, rushes to the sea and never returns." ”

"That's the Yellow River. Yan Liwei corrected.

Chen Yiping said: "I know. The rolling Yangtze River is passing away, and the waves are endless heroes. ”

After saying that, he stood up and jumped forward, jumped into the river under the boulder with a "plop", and hit a large wave.

The waves splashed, and Yao Yuanyu, Wen Xiang, and Yan Liwei in the river were busy avoiding the side, but they were still disgraced by the waves.

Yan Liwei corrected again: "The waves sweep away the heroes, not the endless ones." How can there be no end to it, throw all the heroes in history into the Yangtze River and see if it can fill the river?"

Chen Yiping said: "It's just entertainment, I did it on purpose, you are too serious." ”

Yao Yuanyu said: "How about it, the scenery of this quarry rock is okay, right?"

Chen Yiping said: "That's pretty good. By the way, how did you find this paradise?"

Wen Xiang also praised and said: "This is simply a holy place for outdoor swimming, which is amazing." ”

This quarry rock is on the edge of the river, because the terrain is relatively high, the water is usually very shallow, in the summer flood season, the water surface overflows the rows of boulders, poured into this highland, forming a natural pool.

This natural pool is oval-shaped, about the size of a football field and a half, and the bottom of the water is made of large and small colorful pebbles, which are smooth and comfortable to step on, like a foot massage.

On the side of the pool near the riverbank, there are rows of towering round boulders. These boulders are scattered in a patchwork of tidal flats, like a maze. Legend has it that these boulders were used by Zhuge Liang to block the enemy's pursuit during the Three Kingdoms period. Several of the boulders are also engraved with official scripts.

In rainy weather, these Stonehenges are filled with smoke, like a place for immortals to cultivate immortals. And on a sunny day, these boulders look like cute fat dolls.

Yao Yuanyu said: "This place is about four kilometers away from our Fengling Town, and it is far away from the main road, so it is indeed not easy to find. That time, a white-haired old man came to our school and asked the principal how to get there, and later the principal found two student representatives to show them the way. One of them is me. This white-haired old man turned out to be a retired professor of history and a teacher to our principal. ”

"Later, I followed the places marked on his map and found this place. Actually, this place is beautiful and not far from our home, so there should be a lot of people who have visited. But this is my first time here. After entering, the white-haired old man wandered around Stonehenge for a long time, taking pictures of the carved stones, and then looked at the riverside before finally leaving. ”

The image swims in the mirror-smooth water of the lake, swimming from east to west, leaving a long series of ripples on the surface of the lake.

Yan Liwei said: "Those engraved boulders may be cultural relics, let's carry them home after swimming today." ”

Yao Yuanyu said: "Just a few of us will definitely not be able to lift it, and we need to use a crane." Besides, what are you doing with a good stone here?"
