The old house is quaint and indeed very tasteful.

But it's not all good.

Bai Ke likes the old house, but let him live in the old house, it is better to kill him.

Because the old house is dark and damp, it smells of mold.

Bai Zong and Bai Ke don't talk about living, they can't stand sitting in the house for a while.

When it was time to go to bed at night, the brothers were arranged to go to the third uncle's house.

The third uncle's house is on higher ground, and there are also modern open windows, which is much more comfortable to live in.

It's dog days, and it's hot and stuffy outside, like a sauna.

But the valley is much cooler, especially at night, when you have to cover yourself with a thin quilt.

Listening to the sound of the gurgling water in the small river and the sound of insects chirping one after another in the valley, the brothers were extremely comfortable and soon fell asleep.

I wake up naturally in the morning and wake up to the crisp sound of birdsong in the bamboo forest.

There are only a dozen or twenty families in Baijiagou, except for one surnamed Wu and one surnamed Zhang, the others are all Bai family members, and they are all descendants of the third room.

Bai Ce hadn't been back for two years, so he had to visit from house to house.

Bai Zong and Bai Ke didn't have to follow all the time, they just walked around the valley when they were fine.

The two love to go to the river to play, touch small fish and catch small shrimp.

The river was not deep, and the deepest place was not yet Bai Zong's shoulder.

There is a stone bridge over the deepest section of the river, which was built in Bai Bingwen's time.

Due to the lack of financial resources at that time, the foundation of the bridge was not deep and solid.

Therefore, the stone bridge sank year after year.

When he was a child, he said, he could ride a buffalo under the bridge.

Right now, the small bridge in front of Bai Zong Baike, the distance from the bridge deck to the water surface is just over one meter left.

Twenty or thirty years after the previous life, when Bai Ke returned, the distance from the bridge deck to the water surface was only twenty or thirty centimeters, and the water potential was slightly larger, and the bridge deck could be overflowed.

After living in Baijiagou for two or three days, Bai Ce took Bai Zong and Bai Ke over the mountains to pay tribute to the earlier ancestor - Bai Huazhang.

That is, Bai Bingwen's father.

After Bai Huazhang's eldest grandson left Baijiagou, he opened up the land outside, and his life was prosperous.

They had two filial piety in the late Qing Dynasty, and a county magistrate in the Republic of China.

It is considered to be a relatively good development among the five major people.

In the 40s, they moved the tomb of their ancestor Bai Huazhang out and built a large tomb on a high ground for the descendants of the Bai family to worship from generation to generation.

After leaving Baijiagou, you have to climb two mountains to get there.

According to custom, the descendants of the Bai family should worship their ancestors on the first day of the first month of each year.

However, Bai Ce's father and son have a long way to go, so they can also pay a temporary tribute.

The head of the long house, Sun Sun, sent a representative to lead Bai Ce and their father and son to the tomb, and went through a procedure similar to that of Bai Bingwen.

Then, the people of the eldest grandson of the long house feasted Bai Ce and their father and son.

The people of the eldest grandson of the long house are indeed wealthy, and Bai Huazhang's tomb is much more luxurious and magnificent than Bai Bingwen's tomb.

Even a few years later, it attracted tomb robbers and blew a gap in the tomb.

Later, it had to be renovated.

After worshipping his ancestors, Bai Ce accompanied the people of the eldest house and grandson to discuss the compilation of the family tree.

The genealogy could only be compiled from Bai Huazhang, because the ancestors before him did not even leave their names.

Thinking about the matter of paying tribute to the ancestors, Bai Ke felt that it was also full of utilitarianism.

The ancestors who first arrived in Shu went through hardships and worked hard in the desolate land.

But they were so poor that they were forgotten by later generations.

And Bai Huazhang developed and prospered, and later people remembered him firmly.

But this utilitarianism is not unforgivable.

If life is too poor, who would have the heart to do such a thing.

A happy life for future generations is the best reward for our ancestors.

The ancestors also expressed this desire in the progenital generations they had drawn up for their descendants.

They drew up a twelve-character generation for their descendants: the ancestors are glorious, the world is too prosperous, and the country is peaceful.

Bai Zong, Bai Ke and their brothers are from the dynasty.

It's just that later, in order to show that he is educated, Bai Ce removed his own and his children's generations from the name of the household registration book.

Because Bai Ce and Bai Zong were too far apart, the matter of revising the family tree in the future could only be entrusted to the second uncle and his son.

After spending a week in the city and countryside of my hometown, it was time to return to the north.

On the route back, Bai Ce adjusted the route slightly, taking a boat directly to Hanwu, and then taking a train from Hanwu back to the north.

And by taking a boat to Hanwu, the father and son can feast their eyes on the scenery of the Three Gorges.

Before the dam was built, the upper reaches of the Yangtze River were very fast, so the boats were cautious and slow.

But it's also convenient for sightseeing.

As soon as they got on the boat, the Bai Zong and Bai Ke brothers were a little seasick, so they lay on the bed for a while.

After an hour, Bai Ce shouted to the two of them: "It's almost time to get drunk!"

The brothers hurriedly got up, and Bai Zong even brought his baby camera.

By the time they reached the side of the ship, the tourists were already full.

After a short time for the boat to go, someone shouted, "It's here, it's here, it's here!"

At this time, Xudu is the real ghost town, and even if you look at it from afar, it has a breathtaking charm.

It's like that fake ghost town made by later generations.

The boat departed at eight or nine o'clock in the morning, and when it was almost one or two o'clock, it finally entered the Three Gorges.

Before that, everyone was still a little panicked on the deck, but after entering the Three Gorges, they immediately felt a cool breeze.

Because both sides of the Three Gorges are towering peaks, the sun comes out and goes in for a while, like a shy little girl.

Not long after entering the Three Gorges, I saw the White Emperor City.

Bai Ce told the story of the White Emperor City Tuogu to the brothers, which attracted tourists to watch, and Bai Ce even more spit and the stars flew around, and his eyebrows danced.

After the ship passed the White Emperor City, the speed began to pick up.

Just like the poem said: Between the white emperor and the clouds, thousands of miles of Jiangling will be returned in one day.

At the moment, it is a motorized boat, and maybe it will go faster than the ancients.

Ten minutes later, the big boat entered Wuxia.

The mountain peaks here are even more steep, and Bai Zong and Bai Ke were about to enjoy it, but the weather was not beautiful, and it rained.

I had to hurry back to the cabin.

When I estimated that I was about to reach the Twelve Peaks, I came out and saw that it was already dark, and the goddess was probably hidden in the clouds.

The next day, when the sky was bright, Bai Ke and Bai Zong were woken up by their father: "Get up and read the sword of the war!"

Bingshu Baojian Gorge and Ox Liver and Horse Lung Gorge are a few more intuitive scenic spots of the Three Gorges.

Because like the White Emperor City and the Goddess Peak, you can only see part of the scenery when you sit on the boat.

Looking at the Sword Gorge of the Book of War, Bai Ke suddenly remembered Jin Yong's "Book of Swords and Enmity".

I feel that Jin Yong's inspiration came from here.

It's like Qiong Yao went to the princess's grave and created a truth of "Huanzhu Gege".

After passing the Sword Gorge of the Book of Soldiers, it will not take long to arrive at the Beef Liver and Horse Lung Gorge.

At this time, the shrub on the horse's lungs was still there, and the bottom half of the horse's lungs was already missing.

But if it was not the work of imperialism, it is unknown.

Along the way, Bai Zong kept taking pictures with his camera.

Seeing the big ship leaving the Three Gorges, I couldn't help but feel a little regretful: "It would be nice if I could go ashore and have a look." ”

Bai Ke comforted him: "Don't worry, let's come back next time, and take a good look at it when the time comes." ”

Yes, there are still more than 20 years left before the flood is flooded, and there are opportunities.
