51. Chapter 51
On the same day, Zheng Jianye booked a room at the Haisheng International Hotel in Dai County, planning to take a walk around Dai County and have a look.
The next day, Su Lao found a junior of an old friend as a guide, and took these people who came from the summer capital to wander around some of the more famous scenic spots in Dai County for a day.
After that, he followed Su Lao back to Sujiazhuang.
Before coming to Dai County, Gu Jun originally thought that he would come over this time, and after finishing the matter of Su Mu's joining the Martial Arts Alliance, he would return to the retreat prepared for them by the Martial Arts Alliance to retreat. However, after following Zheng Lao's family to Sujiazhuang, Gu Jun was ready to stay in Sujiazhuang.
It's very simple, Sujiazhuang is rich in aura, Gu Jun only lived in Sujiazhuang for just three days, and his bottleneck was actually loosened. Gu Jun is not stupid, on the contrary, from the fact that he was able to get to his current position without relying on his family, it can be seen that he is a very shrewd person.
In the world of martial artists, respect the strong, since the environment of Sujiazhuang is more suitable for the advancement of martial artists than the place prepared by the empire for them, how could he let it go?
Therefore, three days after coming to Sujiazhuang, Gu Jun and Lin Fanghan became the third outsiders to settle in Sujiazhuang. Well, the first one is Wang Lao, and the second one is Yan Hao.
Old Zheng was very dissatisfied with Gu Jun's practice of striking first, and this young man didn't know how to pull him up.
It's just that Zheng Lao's identity is different from Gu Jun after all, he represents not only one person, but also the entire Zheng family, so Zheng Lao's idea of following him to settle in Sujiazhuang was not realized in the end.
Since then, Mr. Zheng and Mrs. Zheng have begun to live in Sujiazhuang for a long time.
It was also from this time that the Zheng family gradually extended its tentacles to the south, and the development of the entire family became more comprehensive.
After the high tides and the frequent school sports meetings of dark horses, and a good rest for a weekend, the students who returned to campus again seemed to be more and more energetic. Early in the morning, everyone came to the classroom early, sat in a row, and when Su Mu walked to the classroom, there was suddenly thunderous applause.
Su Mu blinked, subconsciously took a step back, and looked up at the class nameplate hanging at the door, it was the first (first) class of high school! What's going on?
Su Mu's continuous movements caused everyone to laugh, and Yang Fan laughed especially loudly. That exaggerated appearance made Su Mu's heart tremble.
"Su Xiaomu, don't look at it, you didn't go to the wrong classroom, hahahaha......" As he spoke, he pounded the desk with his hand, as if something funny was happening.
Looking at him like that, Su Mu was really afraid that he would fall directly to the ground. Su Mu walked to the seat helplessly, and helped Yang Fan with his hand, so as not to be careless, Yang Xiaopang's face hit the ground, this is a big face because of fatness, and if it hurts again, it will really not look good, Su Mu said that he really doesn't want to face a big pie face every day.
"I said you take it easy, wait a moment and your face will hit the ground first, but you will really become a 'pie face'. Say, what's going on? How come it's only been two days that everyone has become so weird? It's so enthusiastic, I can't even admit it. Is there anything I don't know? ”
It was Chen Xiaoling who answered him: "It's not because of your wonderful performance in the school sports meeting this time, which has won a lot of glory for our class, isn't it, Teacher Zhang is happy and decided to take us to the autumn outing on the weekend of this week." ”
Su Mu was embarrassed, "Then what, it's all the result of everyone's concerted efforts, how can it all be attributed to me?" I'll be embarrassed! "I'm really sorry! However, listening to other people's ears has become all kinds of modesty.
Yang Fan's big hand slapped Su Mu's shoulder unceremoniously, and said with a big grin: "Don't be so modest, if it weren't for you this time, how many people in our class wouldn't know that their sports potential is so high." "The results of the shot put and other events that Yang Fan signed up for this time are also good. I also got two points for physical education credits, which can be described as a surprise.
Although I didn't know that Su Mu did something in the tea that everyone drank, I remembered that when everyone was hesitating to sign up, it was Su Mu who "stepped forward" and later drove everyone to sign up. It can be said that if it weren't for Su Xiaomu, they would definitely not participate in the competition.
Therefore, everyone subconsciously counted this credit on Su Mu's head, but omitted the serious sports commissioner Wu Shaojun. Fortunately, Wu Shaojun was not bad-minded, and he was only depressed for a while before throwing away his hand.
Su Mu has no objection to this statement, if it weren't for his drop of spiritual spring water, with so many students in their class who are well-developed and simple-footed, the results of the school sports meeting would definitely be trampled into the mud.
"Teacher Zhang didn't say where he was going to take us to play?" Su Mu didn't want to dwell on this issue anymore, so he quickly changed the topic.
"Of course!" Chen Xiaoling's tablemate Lin Qingqing turned around, his eyes lit up, "The teacher said that he would take us to visit the ancient dragon kiln on the high ridge!" ”
The corners of Su Mu's mouth twitched, this Lin Qingqing had been sitting in front of him for a few months, and he had never participated in the chat between the three of them before, and he would even often dislike the three of them for arguing with him, unless he explained the topic to Yang Fan and Chen Xiaoling, today is the sun coming out of the west?
Chen Xiaoling glanced at the same table strangely, and was also curious, "That's right, I heard that it is the only place in Dai County where we still use firewood to make ceramics, and many tourists will go there to visit Dai County.
She also contacted the nearby pottery workshop and asked us to make the zuò ourselves. Although I didn't leave the county, it was quite interesting. ”
Su Mu nodded, he knew that place, and those people from the Zheng family went up to see it yesterday, but they didn't burn the kiln yesterday, and they couldn't stop shouting after they came back.
"I know that place, but is this the mysterious reward that Teacher Zhang said?" Su Mu still remembers this incident. This time, they have become a big dark horse, how many people have broken through their glasses, should this promise also be fulfilled?
"It's not clear, but as our high school students, it's not easy to organize a group activity, I don't dare to think about anything else, the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment." Chen Xiaoling shrugged her shoulders and said indifferently.
Su Mu nodded, in fact, he also had no hope for the so-called mysterious award, the teachers in high school, the biggest impression on the students was that they broke the contract.
"Alas, I want to go to Daixian Mountain to see the snow." Yang Fan knocked on the table, very regretful.
"Then don't think about it, don't say that there is no snow now, when the temperature in our Dai County is low enough to have snow, we should also have a final exam, and we won't have anything at that time." Chen Xiaoling rolled her eyes.
"But too."
Looking around, all the classmates in the class were excited because of the rare time to let go, touching their noses, Su Mu secretly thought, should you call Zheng Lao and them? Yesterday, they didn't see the ancient dragon kiln fire, and they seemed to be quite depressed.
Busy days always pass very quickly, and under the expectation of everyone, the day of travel has finally arrived.
In the south, winter comes relatively late, and there is a saying of "small spring" in October of the lunar calendar, so on the day of their trip, the weather is not to mention sunny, it is also a rare sunny day, and even the blue sky and white clouds in the sky have not shown their true colors for a long time.
Gaoling is one of the 18 township-level administrative units in Dai County, and it is also one relatively close to Dai County. The old dragon kiln is located here.
The name of the old dragon kiln is actually very common, and there are many kilns in other places that are called "dragon kilns". Especially those former official kilns, Dai County is an ancient ceramic county, and there are many people engaged in this industry, just Su Mu and a few of their classmates do this at home.
This dragon kiln on the high ridge was first built more than 500 years ago and continues to this day. Originally, at the beginning of the founding of the country, the dragon kiln was still brilliant, but later the ceramic industry also introduced electric kilns, as well as gas kilns fueled by natural gas, these two kilns were born, because they are simple and easy to do, and do not need to cut wood, it can be said that it is fast and environmentally friendly, and the firewood kiln gradually withdrew from the stage of history.
In recent decades, with the improvement of people's quality of life, the modern art market has developed greatly, and the wood-fired kiln has gradually attracted people's attention to the past with the uncertainty of its finished product and the uniqueness of its utensils. Today's Gaoling, relying on the old dragon kiln, has stationed many creators of wood-fired ceramics here.
Later, the county leaders waved their hands, and the old dragon kiln, as an ancient kiln that could still be used, was rejuvenated.
When Su Mu and his group arrived, the kiln fire had been burning all night, and the ancient kiln was opened at about five o'clock yesterday afternoon. The entire kiln is 43 meters long, lying on a hillside at an angle of 60 degrees, and the whole kiln is a masonry structure.
A whole roof was built on the kiln with wood and tiles to shelter it from the wind and rain. Under the roof, there is a pile of wood near the dragon kiln. The timber was all freshly cut pine.
The fire inlet is at the bottom of the slope, and several small fire inlets are made about two meters or so, so as to avoid that the ceramics installed in the middle and rear of the kiln do not have enough fire to fire.
They had come at a good time, and the kiln fire had gradually increased, and three or four old potters kept throwing pine wood into the kiln, and the fire became more and more intense.
The parking lot is in the open space not far from the mouth of the ancient dragon kiln. Su Mu got out of the car and was facing the burning kiln.
As soon as the students got off the bus, they scattered in all directions, and most of them walked to the ceramic workshops, intending to see with their own eyes how others made billets by hand.
Su Mu stood there stunned, and as soon as he got off the car, he was attracted by the fire in the kiln.
After being stunned for a while, Su Mu followed the feeling in his heart, and Su Mu walked towards the kiln step by step.
At this time, Su Mu's eyes were full of nothing but this orange firelight.
