Chapter 477 Night Tour to West Lake

"Yes,"

Lin Xiao smiled and nodded, "This is a place where literati gather and Zhong Lingyu is beautiful, and many scenic spots have allusions." ”

"That'...... What's going on with the Wakos? ”

Li Tao didn't forget what Lin Xiao said just now, and asked suspiciously, "When did you come to Hangzhou?" ”

"Probably...... During the Jiajing period, right? ”

Lin Xiao muttered and recalled, "During this period of time, the Japanese were very rampant, frequently causing disasters along the coast of Zhejiang and Fujian, once invaded Hangzhou, and were resisted by the local people, in panic, they suspected that there were ambushes in the tower, so they set fire to the tower, and the wooden structures such as the eaves of the tower were burned, leaving the brick tower body......"

"Made! It's Little Japan again! ”

Xia Bomin, who was walking in the head, stomped his feet and scolded resentfully.

"yes,"

Lin Xiao sighed lightly and said, "This tower, it is said that it originally had a rather majestic outbuilding, but it was all gone. ”

"Head, the Eastern Expedition to Japan won't forget me, right?"

Xia Bomin turned his head and said with an iodine face.

Lin Xiao deliberately glanced at him: "That depends on the results of your military training." ”

"Okay, just watch,"

Xia Bomin rolled up his sleeves and said, "My old Xia, when did you disappoint you." ”

Lin Xiao rolled his eyelids and ignored him...... scolded in his heart, Lao Xia? Old you fart!

While talking, the group followed the lakeside path and came all the way to the broken bridge in the northeast corner.

This "broken bridge and remnant snow" was originally one of the ten views of the West Lake, but at this time it was in the middle of summer, but seeing that the bridge was full of lotus flowers, the graceful posture, the dark fragrance bursts, several people suddenly felt that the heat receded slightly, and it was a lot more comfortable.

On one side of the broken bridge, there is a white causeway about two miles long.

This sand embankment, starting from the broken bridge all the way to the west, crossing the Jindai Bridge, and ending at the autumn moon of Pinghu Lake, is the only road leading to the lonely mountain, so everyone moved and walked slowly through the lake along the white causeway.

At a glance, but see the peach willows on the wide embankment, the grass is like grass, and there are tourists everywhere, which is really quite lively......

"Head, this white causeway is built by Bai Juyi, right?"

Xia Bomin, who was looking around as he walked, turned around and asked.

Xia Bomin, who has the rank of sergeant, is from Yimeng Mountain, Shandong, this honest peasant guy, his education before enlisting in the army was only high school, and compared with Lin Xiao, a cadet soldier from a professional class, his cultural accomplishment is naturally a little thin.

But he has the advantage of being innocent, like a child, full of curiosity and interest in everything.

Moreover, his personality is simple and straightforward, he speaks straightforwardly, and he has no scheming in front of his comrades.

As the Bole and direct leader who selected him to join the team, at the beginning, Lin Xiao took a fancy to his character and the momentum of never admitting defeat, so Lin Xiao never laughed at him, responded to requests, and answered all questions, of course, except for problems that he didn't understand.

Xia Bomin is tall, 186 tall, his arm strength is outstanding, his physical fitness is outstanding, after entering the special combat team, he trains extremely hard, extremely diligent, trains normally during the day, and returns to the dormitory at night to "add food" to himself, often practicing push-ups and sit-ups and other basic subjects alone.

In order to find the feeling of climbing tactics, he made an extra plan for himself, and went to train when he had time, thousands of times in the wind and mud, never stopping.

During training, he unfortunately dislocated his arm, and as soon as he gritted his teeth, he endured the pain and went back to continue training......

On the training ground, the weeds accompanying the training turned yellow and green, and green and yellow...... You can always see a tall and muscular figure, with standard and agile movements, crawling forward tenaciously in the muddy water......

A few years passed, and he was highly skilled and outstanding in all kinds of military skills, such as grappling, fighting, diving, climbing, floating, parachuting, shooting...... We strive to be the best in every subject.

If you ask him what the secret is? The secret is in every day's effort......

"It's not,"

Lin Xiao shook his head and smiled, "The Su Causeway in front was built by Su Dongpo during his reign, and this white causeway ...... In fact, its real name is Gushan Road, also known as Baisha Causeway, only because of Bai Juyi's poem, this road was greatly praised, and then people were grateful and renamed Baidi ......"

"The eastward bound of the favorite lake is insufficient, and the white sand embankment in the shade of the green poplars ......"

Xia Bomin blurted out and dropped his bookbag, in fact, there was not a lot of ink in this kid's stomach.

"Yes,"

Lin Xiao nodded with a smile, raised his hand and said, "There is Jindai Bridge in front, cross this bridge and walk for a while, and you will reach Gushan." ”

Talking and laughing all the way, Lin Xiao was in a good mood, he looked up, in the darkening sky, the stars twinkled, a full moon in the sky, pouring down the moonlight like mercury, and the lake was like a layer of broken silver, shining.

Looking into the distance, the surrounding mountains are green, the lake is painted blue, the flowers and trees on the lake shore are sparse, the weeping willows are blowing the waves, the reflection of the pavilions on the water surface is blurred, and all kinds of unknown summer insects are tirelessly chirping......

For a while, Lin Xiao felt as if he was wandering in a painting.

Lin Xiao paid attention as he walked, and the people he met were men, women, and children.

Most of them are in groups of three or five, some bring the old and help the young, it seems that the nearby locals are moving their families out to escape the summer, sit and enjoy the coolness, and some are three or two friends walking slowly and visiting the West Lake at night.

Among these people, almost all of them are ordinary people, but there are not many rich people who are gorgeously dressed and have a shy chest.

"These rich people have probably boarded the painting boat early, drank and had fun, and indulged in their indulgences......

Lin Xiao looked at the few brightly lit painting boats in the lake and thought.

Most of the people on the embankment were dressed in plain summer clothes, and many of them wore shabby shirts, and even looked a little unclothed, but there was no sadness or panic on their faces.

They all seemed to be in a good mood, looking around or talking happily, all of them looked calm and contented.

In the crowd, Lin Xiao even unexpectedly saw several young girls.

It seems that these girls in the water town are not shy from people, and they are not timid when they see strangers, their steps are light, their smiles are bright, and their faces are full of bright smiles, like lotus flowers in full bloom......

It seems that no matter which dynasty, the ordinary people are always the simplest and most simple.

Just a few days after the war subsided, these people, who had been ravaged by natural and man-made disasters for a long time, had not yet gotten rid of the dilemma of not having enough to eat, and rekindled their pursuit and yearning for a better life.

It won't be long before they can thrive again......

As soon as he walked to the top of the Jindai Bridge, Lin Xiao found that he seemed to have found the reason why the people were able to stabilize and maintain an optimistic attitude so quickly.

Because, he saw that a group of patrolling soldiers was attracting the attention and admiration of the people on the side of the road, and the rate of turning back was almost 100%.

There were nine of them in this group of patrolmen walking slowly and neatly.

Don't think about it, Lin Xiao knew at a glance that this was Xia Bomin's soldier.
