Chapter Thirty-Six: Go Fishing
The convoy came to the square behind the mountain gate, which is the martial arts training ground. When everyone got out of the car, they were all fascinated by the scenery. What kind of place is this? So many artifacts. Anyway, everything is a novelty in their eyes. It is also full of beautiful scenery. Pavilions and pavilions, carved beams and painted buildings, symmetrical central axis, square and strict group combination, layout of various decorations, freehand landscape landscape. Three tall and majestic halls, red beams and golden tiles, magnificent.
"Students, this is my home, and you are welcome to come to my home. Now I'm going to take everyone to breakfast first, hehe, everyone is hungry. "It's almost eight o'clock, and the students gather early in the morning. Half an hour passed from the Xishan Mountain Gate to the square of Xuantian Temple. Of course, Xiang Ming let everyone eat first, there are many beautiful scenery in Xuantian Temple, and there are many interesting places in Xuantian Temple, not something that can be visited once a year. You can't enjoy a three- to five-day tour. Take the courtyard of Xuantian Temple as an example, this place is worth a day's play. If you are a hardcore tourist, if you go to the treasure pavilion to have a look, it is estimated that one day will not be enough.
Xiang Ming thought about it himself, and the ancient building complex of Xuantian Temple was a major attraction. The medicine garden in the back mountain is also counted as one, and the orchard at the foot of the mountain is counted as one. The reservoir also counts as one. This reservoir is a wetland. It is a paradise for birds and aquatic animals. More on this later. The large forests and valleys to the south of Xuantianguan and the shrubbyd grassland of several square kilometers are safari parks (Xiang Ming's own name), if that's not enough, then drill into the ravines and go into the forest to play, there are many ravines here, and there are many original ecological beauties. Not much worse than Jiuzhaigou. If you want to die, people outside know here, and those traveler customers will flock here. There are so many interesting places in Xuantian Temple that I can't count them on ten fingers. However, today Xiang Ming arranged two projects. One is to go fishing in the reservoir to see the animals. One is to have a barbecue at the reservoir. Lunch is settled at the reservoir where.
Li Qian followed closely behind Xiang Ming. The classmates were full of curiosity and followed Xiang Ming all the way. It's very solemn, it's sacred, and everyone doesn't dare to speak. With reverence and awe, we passed through a large courtyard with a picturesque view, and finally came to the large canteen. The service staff of Xuantianguan had already prepared a hearty breakfast. Buffet-style meals. There are more than a dozen kinds of patterns, which are richer than the big chief's coming to eat, not that the big chief is here, and he deliberately makes a little shabby, that's because the big chief is very economical and eats in strict accordance with the regulations.
Xiang Ming's classmates want to visit Xuantian Temple, as Xiang Ming's subordinates, as the landlord of Xuantian Temple, of course, they have to make it richer. This is the second time Xiang Ming has brought outsiders to Xuantian Temple. The first is Sun Ting. For the old and young of Xuantianguan, they regard Xiang Ming's classmates as the most distinguished guests. Daoist Qingsong is very eager to see this change in Xiang Ming. It is also a change for Xiang Ming to enter the society and integrate into the society. After all, everyone doesn't want Xiang Ming to be too lonely. After all, Xiang Ming is still a child. Lost the joy of childhood since childhood. Since childhood, I grew up in the relatively closed place of Xuantian Temple. There is very little contact with the outside world. Childhood is lonely, with no other children of the same age to play with. Xiang Ming is very closed and introverted.
Therefore, Xiang Ming brought his classmates to Xuantian Guanwan, and everyone reciprocated with great enthusiasm to entertain these friends of the young master Xiang Ming.
Qingsong Dao Chang is a good old man, and Xiang Ming's loyal entourage. is like a parent, who takes good care of Xiang Ming's classmates. Several mothers-in-law in the view were also enthusiastic about these Xiang Ming's classmates, and they couldn't keep their mouths shut. Li Qian was very embarrassed to be asked this and that by these "aunts". Everyone looked at Li Qian so kindly. Isn't this the "lady" of the young master Xiang Ming, who regards Li Qian as Xiang Ming.
Fortunately, everyone finished breakfast quickly. Xiang Ming took everyone to a storage room outside the cafeteria, where there were already fishing rods prepared by the staff. Of course, not all of them are standard fishing rods, most of them are freshly made bamboo booms, which are made from the branches of freshly cut bamboo, which are more than 3 meters long and the size of a thumb. Fishing doesn't have to be fully equipped, there is a hook, a transparent fishing line, a pole, and a few earthworms as bait. Is it important to participate?
Why did Xiang Ming choose fishing as a project, there are so many interesting places in Xuantian Temple, but he chose fishing. There is a clear purpose for doing so. Fishing is a recreational sport that is good. But fishing time is also a process of developing a state of mind. It's hard for a distraught person to catch a fish. It's hard to catch fish for people who don't have peace of mind. Fishing is a process of exercising people's patience, exercising people's perseverance, and exercising people's concentration.
Many people are impatient to watch the duckweed move a little and start fishing, often there is nothing, the fish is not hooked, many people are not concentrated, half-hearted, the fish eat the bait and do not notice. Many people are impatient, and fishing is a boring activity, so it is very necessary to be patient. If you are extremely irritable, you can't catch a fish at one time, you fall short, and if you don't adjust your mentality, it is estimated that you can't catch a single fish all day long.
Students are facing the hurdle of the college entrance examination. It is not an exaggeration to say that the college entrance examination is an important turning point in life, and if you are admitted, you can continue to go to school, and you will have the opportunity to change your destiny, find a good job, and change your family conditions in the future. If you can't pass the exam, then you can only go to Guangdong to work, or work as a farmer at home.
The college entrance examination is a watershed moment in life. Life or death is a struggle in these two months. The students are in a very nervous mood now, and the pressure is not ordinary, except for some students with poor scores who have no hope at all. Irritability, lack of concentration, impatience, and no longer knowing which direction to work in. There are complex feelings such as confusion and helplessness.
The reason why Xiang Ming chose fishing is this project. It is to let the students relax, exercise their patience, and remove some negative influences.
Even if you have to take the college entrance examination tomorrow, the combination of work and rest is a must. Mental tension is needed, and it is also necessary not to relax for a moment. But it's also something that needs to be relaxed, isn't it?
"Wow, the lake is huge. Everyone cheered.
Xiang Ming led everyone down the stone steps to the bottom of the mountain. Then walk along a large road until you reach the reservoir. It is no longer accurate to say that it is a reservoir, it should be said that it is a "lake". Along the way are orchards. Xiang Ming beckoned everyone, so that everyone could see what they wanted to eat, just pick it. Of course, it is ripe to pick. It's the middle of April, and there aren't many ripe fruits, namely yellow pipa, sour and toothless, egg-sized jujubes, sweet and crisp, and purple bayberry. The early-maturing lychee, feizixiao, glutinous rice cake and other two varieties ripen early. Sweet and greasy, there are guavas, crisp and sweet, early-ripening fragrant mangs, very flavorful, and early-ripening plums that are already a little red, which is considered saliva flow.
While hiking to the "lake", the students went to the orchard to pick their favorite fruits. Prepare a small plastic bag for each person. Just enough to eat. Don't be greedy.
