Five

Entering the waiting room, sure enough, everyone lined up in a long line, ready to enter the platform. Da Liu and Sun Wei complained a few words, blaming them for why they didn't come until now? If they don't come again, they leave their luggage here and they go by themselves.

In fact, the station only predicted that the train they were going to take had already departed from the neighboring station, and it would be about ten minutes before they got here.

Zhu Yushen looked around, and the waiting room of this station was already showing signs of dilapidation. However, the long paint painting of "Rice of Fish and Rice" painted above the east and west walls is more eye-catching.

It depicts a young man and woman, sowing seeds in spring, irrigating in summer, harvesting rice in autumn, and fishing and mending nets in winter. It is very vivid, and it makes people feel that it is very poetic to engage in farming and fishing all year round.

Zhu Yushen feels that this may not be the case in reality. He looked at his front and back and around him—after the New Year, most of the people who went out to beg for a living were young men and women. It seems that people in the land of fish and rice still have to go out to earn money, and it is far from enough to do some farming at home. Their faces were anxious and dazed, in stark contrast to the expressions of the men and women in the picture.

After some crowding, Zhu Yushen and the four of them finally got into the car. Lao Ma and Da Liu's movements were fast, and due to the large number of people under this station, there were a few empty seats, so the two of them grabbed two. Sun Wei also crowded with them because he wanted to eat, and there were many people standing in the carriage.

The three of them all took out food, and Zhu Yushen threw his beer to them. He didn't want to drink, so he stayed alone at the door of the carriage joint, watching the scenery outside.

At that time, the train had already reached the suburbs of Wuhu, and the small hillsides, the villages with bungalows and buildings were constantly receding. What he saw in his eyes made Zhu Yushen feel that this place was more barren than that of Huangzhen. He remembered that Xie Wumei had a boyfriend later, who was from the suburbs of Wuhu. He wondered: Is his home in this area?

After watching the scenery outside the window for a while, Zhu Yushen's thoughts returned to Wang Xiaoqin. He remembered that his aunt said that in the past few days, the female relatives of Wang Xiaoqin's family have persuaded her to leave the child and separate from the northern man. Seeing her man's condition today, as well as that child, makes people feel that all those persuasions are too cruel. Let's ask: As soon as Wang Xiaoqin leaves, what will their father and son do?

They should be going back to their home in northern Jiangsu today. Wang Xiaoqin's concentration is relatively good, and she is not conquered by the pressure of the world. Based on this, Zhu Yushen believes that it is difficult to find in today's society. It's just that their current situation is indeed too shabby, and it is indispensable to be discriminated against and spurned by their parents. He sincerely wishes them well in the future, and may the couple, who began with a legendary story, live happily ever after!

At sunset, with a few screams, the train plunged into the Hangzhou City Railway Station. At dinner in the evening, Lao Ma told the three of them about the schedule of the two days: the next morning, he went to see the ten views of the West Lake, the afternoon was free, the third morning went to Sijiqing Street, and then took the noon train back to Wuhu. It was evening when they returned to the city, and the four of them had to take a taxi back to Huangzhen. So I have to save some money for these two days. They found a cheap hostel that night.

Early the next morning, the four of them took a bus to one of the scenic spots by the West Lake - the willow waves and the orioles. It's still early in the morning, but it's already bustling with people. This spot is actually such a large area of willow trees that it seems that there are no warblers in sight.

The toilets in the willow bushes were modern and clean. They walked for a short while, finding a wooden deck chair and sitting down for a while. The water of the West Lake in front of him has turned black, and the cruise ships in the lake are weaving. Gusts of wind blew in the face, slapping the lake against the shore, stirring up a small fog and a fishy smell.

The lake is surrounded by mountains on three sides, and modern high-rise buildings can be seen on only one side. Zhu Yushen couldn't help but think of a poem he learned as a child: "When will the Qingshan Building outside the mountain, the West Lake singing and dancing ...... when will it be closed" It seems to be written in the early years of the Southern Song Dynasty. He thought that the mountains would have been greener then than they are now, and that the buildings should have been low. At that time, the beauty of West Lake was the real beauty of the original ecology. Today, the area around West Lake is filled with a sense of commercialization. This pool of lake water is almost about to be lifted by the lively and noisy people. In fact, West Lake is fragile, and she cannot bear the heavier and heavier burdens placed on her.

Zhu Yushen and the others were enjoying the scenery in front of them with great pleasure, each thinking about their thoughts. Accidentally, Lao Ma actually hooked up with two trendy girls sitting next to him. Earlier, a girl asked, "Why is it written on the stone by the lake that you are welcome to the shore of the West Lake?" How do you call West Lake West Lake? Her companion could not answer.

Lao Ma is also a liberal arts teacher, and he is also good at dancing and writing. He once said that before he was transferred to Huangzhen, he published countless articles in the county newspaper and various magazines, and it was difficult for Zhu Yushen and other liberal arts teachers to match.

I saw that the old horse coughed lightly and said, "Let me explain it to the two beauties!" This is a poem by Su Dongpo. The last two lines of the poem are like this: If you want to compare West Lake to Xizi, it is always appropriate to wear light makeup and heavy makeup. This Xizi refers to Xi Shi, one of the four beauties of ancient China. Su Dongpo said that West Lake is comparable to Xi Shi. So, the stone on the side of the road reads: Welcome to the shore of West Lake. ”

These words made the two girls who had not been deeply involved in the world suddenly realize, and their eyes were full of admiration for the old horse. Lao Ma got carried away, he said that he was a scholar who studied the poetry of the Song Dynasty, should he explain some allusions to the beauties?

But at this time, the two girls were no longer interested, and they were leaving. When they got up, one of them said, "Uncle, you're amazing." The other said, "Goodbye, uncle!" Then the two of them bounced away.

How do you know that this title of "uncle" hurt the old horse very much. He was about to follow the two girls forward. But the title had drawn a clear line between them, and he couldn't think about anything else. The old horse seemed to be pumped and lay down on the chair.

When Zhu Yushen and the three of them saw this scene, they thought it was really funny, and they were happy in their hearts. Zhu Yushen can understand Lao Ma's mood at the moment. Literati like them often want to pursue perfection, and they can't stand women's cold faces and unpleasant words.

All three of them got up and prepared to walk forward to see the sights in front of them. Sun Wei walked up to Lao Ma and patted him on the shoulder, and then he stood up and walked forward with everyone. Lao Ma sighed and said, "I'm only forty years old, those two girls just now really can't speak, call me a big brother." Their shout extinguished how much of my inspiration. It's terrible. ”

Then, he pointed to the two towers in front of him and said, "The slender one is the Baochu Pagoda, and the thick one is the Leifeng Pagoda." We are now heading to the Leifeng Tower, where there is a peerless beauty. The sunset of Lei Feng is also one of the ten views of West Lake, but it is now morning, and we can't see this scene.

Sun Wei picked up his words and said: "The Bai Suzhen locked up there is not only beautiful, but also virtuous, and has great energy. Blessed is it for anyone to be with her. ”

Zhu Yushen also showed a happy smile on his face at this time.

Da Liu stared at the faces of the three of them one by one for a while. After he weighed it, he realized that all three of them were authentic liberal arts teachers, and they were all currently teaching Chinese, except for him. As far as he knows, the three of them are all good, as the saying goes, literati are. So the three of them were very interested when they saw modern beauties and ancient beauties.

Da Liu raised his voice and said: "You literati and, when you mention women, you are full of energy. If I were a woman and beat me to death, I wouldn't choose to mess with you, the literati died of sourness. ”

Sun Wei retorted: "If you are a woman and you don't choose literati, then what kind of person is your first choice?" I'm afraid it's rich! ”

Zhu Yushen continued: "In that case, don't you fall into the cliché again? ”

Da Liu said stupidly: "Okay, if I don't fight with you, how can I have the ability to fight the Confucians." OK！ ”

Everyone looked at each other and smiled, and continued to walk forward. Lao Ma asked Sun Wei: "Regarding the story of Xu Xian and the White Snake, our country has made several versions of TV series or movies, right?" ”

Sun Wei said: "Yes, the people who play Bai Suzhen are more beautiful; Playing Xu Xian is just average, and it can even be said to be a bit dirty. ”

Da Liu didn't like to listen to their discussion, so he walked to the front.

Zhu Yushen walked at the end, and following Sun Wei's words, he remembered the faces of the protagonists who played Bai Suzhen in those versions. Thinking about it this time, his eyes lit up: Bai Suzhen's appearance in the movie version was the same as Wang Xiaoqin's. It's no wonder that in public, Wang Xiaoqin can attract the attention of so many people. After all, she's good-looking! Before settling down in the north, Wang Xiaoqin also made a living in Hangzhou. I heard that the place where she works is not far from West Lake, and she is really close to Bai Suzhen!

Sun Wei suddenly remembered something. He glanced at Leifeng Pagoda a few times, stomped his foot, stopped and said, "That's not right! May I ask how this Xu Xian got together with Bai Suzhen? ”

Lao Ma said casually: "It seems to say that Xu Xian saved a snake." Then the snake cultivated into a woman to serve him and marry him. As a result, she gave birth to a son named Xu Shining. It is said that Wenqu Xing went down to earth, and later he was the top student in high school......"

"Wait a minute", Sun Wei made a pause, and everyone stopped. He said: "Isn't this Bai Suzhen's energy too big? Fahai interfered in her and Xu Xian's married life, arrested Xu Xian, and locked him up in Jinshan Temple. Bai Suzhen also raised a flood that flooded the golden mountain. She wanted to rescue Xu Xian, but inadvertently caused the people of Hangzhou to suffer. She has such great ability, can she still ask Xu Xian to save her? ”

Lao Ma said thoughtfully: "Well, there doesn't seem to be any explanation in those versions of movies and TV series." How do you say that? ”

Da Liu turned around and said, "I know this." It seems that Lu Xun's article said that it was Xu Xian who saved a snake in his previous life. This little snake has been cultivated for a thousand years, and it is for the thousand-year-old snake demon that it has become a woman's body. Only then did she repay her father-in-law's descendants-Xu Xian. This stupid boy just messed up with a good and good thing. ”

Lao Ma said: "Yes, yes, it seems to be like this. That's what is written in "The Legend of the Righteous Demon". ”

Sun Wei said: "That's too marginal!" With that, he sat down on the wooden chaise longue. Zhu Yushen and the three of them saw that they were about to turn uphill, so they all sat down and stored a little physical strength.

Sun Wei continued: "Xu Xian did good deeds in his previous life, and he can enjoy happiness in his future life. That means that if I do good deeds now, I will be rewarded in the afterlife. What is the previous life and the future life, if there is no afterlife, who will the thousand-year-old snake demon find to repay the favor? ”
