In Ding Qi's hometown, the mountainous villages have also carried out village-to-village projects over the years, and there are roads connecting each mountain village. This kind of rural road in the mountainous area, invested by the government, the minimum standard is a concrete road with a width of 3.5 meters.

3.5 meters wide road surface, if two large cars meet head-on is not staggered, but it is also easy to do, find a place with a wide roadbed, slow down to the side of the road to give way, this kind of road car is not much. If the township collects some money on its own, many places will also widen the road to 4.5 meters, and there will generally be no traffic problems.

Jinghu City is located in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River Plain, is the second only to the provincial capital of the province of the economically developed area, of course, the road is better, no matter where to go, which township has been very smooth. This weekend, Tintzi was resting again. Having a car is convenient, he drove a car along the riverbank in the suburbs of Jinghu City, some sections of the river embankment have roads, and some sections need to stop and walk up the river embankment to overlook.

He also has a high-powered binoculars in his hand, like a scout or commander in a movie, this is not a stall, it is a genuine product that has been bought at a large price. He spent two whole days visiting both sides of the Yangtze River, but found nothing.

Once he saw that the terrain on the other side of the river was a bit like Xiaochishan Park, and he drove back to the city from the bridge to cross the river and go there, but he found that it was just a little similar, and the landform features were still far away, and it was not at all the place he had been to in the spiritual world of Tu Zhi or Tian Qi.

Maybe it was hard to see it from standing on the riverbank, but on the second weekend, Ding Qi gritted his teeth and simply paid a boat to go down the river, carrying binoculars to observe the scenery on both sides of the river. It is not easy to observe at night, he can only watch during the day, and he doesn't want to go too fast, so he went from the upstream to the city of Jinghu on the first day, and from the city of Jinghu to the downstream on the second day, and still did not find anything.

In Jinghu City, there are no fishermen in the Yangtze River for a long time, and even if there are, they are fish and shrimp farmers in various towns and villages. Not all ships can enter the Yangtze River channel, he hired an iron-hulled boat to transport pigs, and walked slowly along the channel near the edge. In a hurry, he could only find such a boat, and it took him a long time to beg the owner of the boat to agree, and Ding Qi also spent a lot of money.

Ding Qi didn't tell Tu Zhi his judgment, because he was afraid that Tu Zhi would fall into a heart disease. As everyone knows, his own behavior looks a little stunned, for example, the shipowner looks at him a bit like a neurotic.

With limited time, energy, and financial resources, it was impossible for Ding Qi to investigate the entire Yangtze River, and it was this section of Jinghu City that he observed. Before "killing" Tian Qi, Ding Qi also read Tian Qi's detailed file materials through his connections, this person has been living in Jinghu City and has not been far away, if it is a place where Tian Qi has occasionally been, it should also be in Jinghu City.

The section of the river that Ding Qi actually inspected had already exceeded the boundary of Jinghu City at both ends, and the downstream even went to neighboring provinces. After tossing around for such a big circle, there was still no result, but Ding Qi continued to look for it. He searched not only on the riverbank or on the boat, but also in the library.

China is the only country in the world with rich and detailed local historical materials, which is a precious treasure for all those who live in this country. Perhaps it is precisely because of this uniqueness that this aspect of the material is not taken seriously, probably because there is no such thing in today's "developed countries".

Ding Qi worked in the library, knew how to find it and had the conditions to find it, he began to consult the local chronicles of the states and counties in the Jinghu area of the past dynasties, and also paid attention to the travelogues, books, and anthologies written by the famous people of Jinghu in history. The library of Jinghu University did not have all the information in this area, and he also specially got a letter of introduction and went to the Jinghu City Archives to check it.

It's easy to think, but it's not easy to actually do. No one has sorted out the electronic version of so much information for many years, and it is impossible to enter keywords to search for the desired results, and there are many of them are still lonely, rare books, only wearing masks and gloves to carefully flip through the scrolls, the content is vertically arranged in traditional Chinese, and pay attention to relevant clues in the vast information.

The content recorded in the local chronicles, mainly the appointment and dismissal of officials in the past dynasties, as well as the filial piety of the women commended by the court, including various natural disasters ** and major cases within the jurisdiction, are basically notes, words, deeds, and descriptions of specific landscapes and landforms, and need to be found a little bit, especially pay attention to the place names mentioned in ancient books, which is too tiring!

But Ding Qi did find two clues, the first of which is particularly eye-catching. He saw a sentence in the local chronicles: "On the outskirts of the town, in the yin of the river, there are large and small red mountains, and even the hills stand near the water. ”

This is a record of the Tang Dynasty, there is no punctuation in the literary language, it is not the small red mountain but the big and small red mountain, the so-called yin, refers to the south bank of the Yangtze River, which should be the location of the current small red mountain park. In the later historical records, there are several places where the place name of "Big and Small, Red Mountain" is occasionally mentioned, and Ding Qi knows where the Little Red Mountain is, but he doesn't know where the Big Red Mountain is.

There is no deliberate explanation in the materials he has seen, it is just a place name, and since it appeared in the Tang Dynasty, later generations have naturally used it in this way. Later, Ding Qi went out to inquire, only to find that the term "Big and Small Red Mountain" was very popular in the local area of Jinghu, and he didn't need to check any historical information to know it.

Many old people and even many young people who are about the same age as Ding Qi have actually heard of the Big and Small Red Mountains, or the Big Red Mountains and the Little Red Mountains, which are the place names of Jinghu. Asking them who they listened to, but they couldn't say it clearly, in short, it was a kind of memory, as if they were listening to the old people, and the old people were listening to the older people, which has long been a conventional saying.

A conversation between Ding Qi and Lao Yang Tou, who watched the gate of Boci Medical, is the most representative.

Lao Yang's name is Yang Ce, and he is the old man on duty at Boci Medical at night, as the saying goes, he is on duty. There are security guards on duty at night in the hospital, and doctors and nurses are on duty at night, but Boci Medical has a parking yard and a communication room at the entrance of the hospital, where Lao Yang Tou keeps vigil at night.

Old Yang Tou is not on duty in the communication room during the day, there are security guards there during the day, and he doesn't come over until after nine o'clock in the evening, and even if he sees it, no one will pay attention to this old man. But Ding Qi's eyes were not ordinary, he went back late one day in the hospital to sort out the medical records, and when he was discharged from the hospital, he said hello to the old man, and inexplicably felt that this person was a little familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had seen it.

After driving back to the apartment, Ding Qi suddenly remembered, he turned on the computer and found the website of Jinghu Boci, and saw a photo of Lao Yangtou. In the photo, Lao Yang's sparse hair is combed back, the lines are not messy, he is wearing a pair of old-fashioned gold-rimmed glasses, and his suit is quite and extraordinary. Looking at the introduction, this is Professor Yang Ce, who was born in a family of traditional Chinese medicine, and is a well-known expert in massage and bone correction in China......

Ding Qi was a little confused at that time, is this Boci Medical a hidden dragon and a crouching tiger, or is it a swagger? The old man in the communication room has become a famous expert and professor, and he is still hanging on the website in a grand manner?

Ding Qi also saw his photo, which was higher than Old Man Yang, and now hung on the far right of the first row, of course, with an introduction. Of course, the psychological quality of the psychiatrist must be strong and the skin must be thick enough, but Ding Qi himself is also panicked when he looks at it. He once said to Zhang Lichen, the "roommate" who was responsible for making the web page, that the introduction should be realistic, but in fact it doesn't seem to be like that.

The website lists him as a Ph.D. in psychology, and Ding Qi did have a Ph.D., but was expelled from the university in his first year of Ph.D. and did not get a degree. Ding Qi asked not to mention the "Jinghu Ankang Hospital incident", and the website did not mention it at all, but said that "Dr. Ding Qi is a well-known expert with a good reputation throughout the country, and has been widely and highly praised for his outstanding achievements." ”

Of course, there are a few paragraphs in the introduction, which can hardly be said to be completely fictional, but the adjectives used are too exaggerated. When Ding Qi watched it, he had a feeling that if he followed this profile, he was still a little bit close to winning the Nobel Prize in Medicine.

Knowing that Lao Yang Tou is "Yang Ce, a famous professor from a family of traditional Chinese medicine", Ding Qi is both funny and curious. Look at the photos on the website, and then think about the old Yang Tou himself who I saw in the communication room, I can't contact him anyway. If it weren't for his professional habits that caused Ding Qi to observe people very carefully, he wouldn't have been able to recognize another person at all.

Because of recent events, Ding Qi's curiosity has become very heavy, as if he has regained his childlike mentality, as if the world is full of mysterious unknowns, and he is solving puzzles one after another. Xu is affected by this mentality, and he also wants to find out the origin of Lao Yangtou, is it a hidden master like the "Shaolin sweeping monk"?

The legendary Shaolin sweeping monk is also a librarian, and he is Ding Qi's peer.

It's almost simple to find a chance to have a hood with Lao Yang, and one day Ding Qi deliberately waited until after nine o'clock in the evening to get off work, holding a bottle of wine and carrying a few boxes of dishes delivered by takeout. Walking to the gate of the compound and looking into the communication room, Lao Yang Tou was using an induction cooker to stew a pot, and the small table had been set up, and there were loose liquor and wine cups on it.

Ding Qi stood at the door and said hello, and Lao Yang also smiled and said, "Doctor Ding, you just got off work so late, haven't you eaten yet?"

Ding Qi replied: "Living alone, eating is simple. I see that your old pot is stewed very fragrantly, and I happen to have wine and food here, how about we eat together? Anyway, it's not interesting to go back and eat alone. ”

Old Yang Tou was a little surprised, but he also nodded happily: "Okay, come in and sit, it's cold outside." ”

Ding Qi, who was self-cooked, came in and sat down, put the dishes away, Lao Yang Tou took out another cup as a wine cup, Ding Qi opened the bottle of wine he brought, and filled the glasses of the two of them. Lao Yang Tou said: "Doctor Ding has such good conditions, you still have to find a partner quickly." You have a high vision of the big city, otherwise, we would have several suitable girls in our village......"

In the small communication room at night, a hot pot is stewed, and a few glasses of white wine are in the stomach, it is much more natural to say, and the tone is also very casual, and the two are like New Year's friends who have known each other for a long time. Ding Qi took advantage of the situation and asked, "Old Yang, your name is Yang Ce, right?" I saw a photo of you on the hospital's website, and you are a famous professor from a family of traditional Chinese medicine. Come, I salute you for an old cup, it's really hidden!"

Lao Yang was stunned for a moment: "Doctor Ding is really good eyesight, can you recognize this?"

Ding Qi deliberately didn't mention this stubble, but just took a glass and said, "Drink! I've done it, and you can do it too." ”

Lao Yang Tou drank this full glass of wine, and his head was already sweating, and he didn't need Ding Qi to ask, he took the initiative to tell the reason. Lao Yang Tou is not a lonely old man, he is a farmer in the countryside of Jinghu, with a wife and children. The daughter married out of town, and the family also built a two-story building in the village, and the old couple originally lived with their son and daughter-in-law.

But the daughter-in-law is more picky, and the wife thinks it doesn't matter, but Lao Yang Tou feels uncomfortable, and when he has an opportunity, he simply runs into the city to work. When Lao Yang Tou was young, he was a barefoot doctor in the township, and he could also massage massage. His father was also a barefoot doctor, and his medical practice was mainly from the founding of the People's Republic of China to the beginning of the Cultural Revolution.

It seems that the hospital's website introduces him as "from a family of traditional Chinese medicine", which is exaggerated but somewhat a bit of a spectrum. It was Boci Medical who specially hired him, and he worked in the hospital for a shift, with 1,500 a month, just like Ding Qi working as a temporary worker in the library. But putting his photo on the website as a "Chinese medicine expert", the hospital also gave him an extra 500 yuan a month, which was actually a façade.

Although Yang Ce is an ordinary old man from the countryside, he is not eye-catching at all on weekdays, but if you look closely, his facial features are very upright, and he is not hunched over. If you hold your chest up and dress up, wear glasses and a suit and tie, your image is also good.

Professor Yang Ce is a "big expert" and will not go out easily. But some people just read the introduction and came to see it, and asked Professor Yang Ce to go to the clinic by name? That's easy to do, change into the clothes you put away on weekdays and dress up, then go.

Massage massage is a technical work and a strength work, and the old Yang Tou will also do it himself, but Professor Yang is old and respectable, so he can't come all the way in person, usually under his on-site guidance, and other young doctors will continue to get started. The effect of this is also very good, at least in the patient's psychological feeling, and the scene can be dealt with.

If this happens, Lao Yang Tou also has a commission, so he not only has a fixed 2,000 a month, but often has an income of 3 or 4,000, and when the situation is good, he can even get more than 5,000, which is much stronger than being angry with his daughter-in-law at home. Now every time he goes home, his daughter-in-law is very polite and respectful, and she is also the person who has the final say in the family.

Ding Qi praised the old man's chic life, and asked, "Then what's the matter with the professor's title?"

Lao Yang Tou held the wine glass and smiled: "I also have a certificate!"

After talking for a long time, Ding Qi understood that Lao Yang Tou had a visiting professor certificate from a private university in another province, which was given to him by Boci Medical. Issuing this kind of certificate is like issuing a certificate, the cost is no more than 20 yuan, just write a name and stamp it. The Poten Group behind Jinghu Boci has relationships with many private schools, and many of its subordinate institutions will provide internships for students from these schools, and will also hire their graduates.

Ding Qi couldn't cry or laugh after learning the "truth", and he didn't know how to evaluate Lao Yangtou's introduction on the hospital's website. Lao Yang Tou was also very enthusiastic and said: "Doctor Ding, you are familiar with the leaders of the hospital, if you also want to be a professor, let them also give you a certificate." ”

Ding Qi smiled and diverted the topic: "You are always a native of Jinghu, have you ever heard of the Big and Small Red Mountains?"

Lao Yang Tou replied casually: "Of course I have heard of it! Big Red Mountain, Little Red Mountain, mountain flowers bloom, March 3, how fun it is to visit the temple fair...... We used to sing nursery rhymes when we were kids. ”

Ding Qi asked, "Then do you know where the Great Red Mountain and the Little Red Mountain are?"

Lao Yangtou: "It's right by the river, and now there is a park." ”

Ding Qi: "I've been to that park, and now it's called Little Red Mountain Park, but where is Big Red Mountain?"

Lao Yang was stunned for a moment: "Big Red Mountain?" should be there, but now it's not called that, it's all called Little Red Mountain." ”

Again, Ding Qi had heard more than a dozen locals answer. They had heard the names of the two places, Da Chi Shan and Xiao Chi Mountain, and took it for granted that it was right next to the river, where the current Ko Chi Shan Park was located. There is more than one mountain bag by the river, maybe the larger mountain bag is called Da Chi Mountain, and the smaller mountain bag is called Xiao Chi Mountain, and now that place is called Xiao Chishan Park.

However, Ding Qi has been to Xiaochishan Park many times, and no matter from which angle you look at it, it is difficult to find any difference between the big red mountain and the small red mountain, so how did the earliest place names appear? Is it because the river bank has been eroded and the topography has changed? This is like a historical puzzle, but it is only Ding Qi's own puzzle, and people today do not think about it at all.

In the long history, many place names will change, so that some old folk place names are not clear where they are. Ding Qi's hometown has a place called Sanxidu, and there are many legends about Sanxidu in history, such as a hermit who cultivated into an immortal in Sanxidu, and many local people have heard this story.

But if you ask where Sanxidu is in reality, no one can tell anyone, and you can't find it on the map. It may be that in history, there was really such a place called Sanxidu, but then the topography changed, and the name of the place also changed.

If Ding Qi hadn't had this recent experience, he might have thought that this was also the case with Da Chishan. But he had been to such a place in the spiritual world of Tian Qi and Tu Zhi respectively, so he instinctively thought that that place should be the Great Red Mountain that no one can tell and can't tell now.

Ding Qi: "You have a really good memory, and I still remember the nursery rhymes you sang when you were a child." The song you just sang also mentioned visiting the temple fair, and it is said that there was originally a Chishan Temple there, have you ever been there?"

Chishan Temple, is a famous temple in the history of Jinghu, was built in the Southern Dynasty, destroyed in the war several times in the past dynasties and rebuilt several times, but was completely demolished during the Cultural Revolution. Nowadays, there is no temple in Kochiyama Park, and Ding Qi is a record of it in the local annals. And Lao Yang Tou was born in 1950 and should have had the opportunity to see Chishan Temple.
