After the thunderstorm, the bright sun showed its fiery red face again, and the silent Zhizhi in front of the tree began to squeak again, and Huang Shi and others, who were sheltering from the rain in a dilapidated hill temple, walked out, and looked around, in the sky washed clean by the rain, there were a few white clouds, and a large area of rice in the distant mountain paddy field swayed like water waves in the wind.

This summer's thunderstorm never consults with you, you can come and go when you want, you don't greet when you come, you go quietly, you come quietly, you go quietly, it seems to be playing hide and seek with you.

"You should be able to go now", Huang Shi looked at the sky, then took out a few parasols out of thin air, and handed them to the people next to him one by one. This time, Huang Shi took them from Chengguan and took two days to walk from Chengguan to Fucheng, and after staying at the inn of Taro Yuanyi on the road for one night, he went around Fucheng and walked directly to the mountainous area north of Fucheng.

In addition to the old man of Huangshi who traveled this time, there was also a foreign housekeeper Xiucai who was idle, his Xiucai identity was considered to have some status among the scholars in the Ming Dynasty, more than the upper than the bottom, the legend is that "the imperial court gives rations, the official does not kneel, and the officials dare not fight", so there are still some psychological advantages for some of the officials who may appear on this road, so this time Huangshi wants him to come forward to the yamen to make a road guide, how do you know that the curtain is idle but said, this go to Fucheng does not need to do this road guide, just go on the road, First, the distance from this city to Fucheng is about 100 miles, and second, he didn't open it last time he went to Fucheng to take the exam, and no one asked.

Huang Shi was a little surprised, because in his impression, the Ming Dynasty Emperor Zhu Baba pioneered the road guidance system, stipulating that there should be a patrol inspection department at the key traffic points, and the military and civilians who traveled more than 100 miles must submit the documents issued by the local officials, and those who spend their private time in Tianjin will be punished with a rod.

But obviously the impression is not the same as the reality, it turns out that this road guide began in the Yongle period, away from the official rule of a slightly remote area, the villagers are not controlled, want to manage can not control, so the Ming Dynasty is also one of the times when the most free exiles, to the end of the Yongle period, this road guide system is basically abandoned.

Sure enough, when everyone was resting in Taro Yuanyi, they didn't see the patrol to come and check, which made Huangshi worry for a while, but the salute of a few merchants over there was turned over by the inspectors, and it was good to say that they collected some more money before they were released. However, the inspectors on Huangshi's side just took a look, and saw Huangshi and Mu Dexian wearing brand-new scholarly shirts and leisurely shaking origami fans, naturally thinking that two rich talents were walking with 6 family members.

There were similar scholars along the way, so Huang Shi learned from the curtain show, and saluted and said hello from a distance, but did not come forward to say a specific word. In this group of people in the same group, after all, Mu Xiu is only a scholar, and his body is weaker, so the two-day itinerary stops and stops, half of which is to take care of him.

Zhou Mingrui, the housekeeper, naturally followed Huangshi, he was flexible and clever, and half of the tasks in the early stage of this time fell on him. And Sister-in-law Cui's man, Jintashan, the old man of Granny Lan's family, Lan Shenmu, carpenter Zhu Mingxin, and Zijiang also accompanied him. Along the way, Huangshi showed a miracle, especially the wild dog that rushed out with the electric baton as high as 50KV, which made a "crackling" sound and also burst out of the dazzling blue electric light.

The paths in this mountain village are mostly dirt, rugged, potholes, and still wet after rain, mixed with the aroma of the earth, which has a different flavor, but it is hard for everyone to come along the way, but fortunately they are all wearing large-size plastic sandals carried by Huangshi, otherwise the muddy water alone will soak their straw sandals.

After a few more turns along the path, Huang Shi pointed ahead and said, "Let's walk a little longer, and we will reach the place we are going to." It turns out that Huangshi has also come to this Shoushan Township in modern times, and the place where he lives now is not very far away, although it is said that 500 years is enough time for the vicissitudes of life, but the mountain type here has not changed much, so Huangshi made a comparison and recognized here.

This small mountain town is twenty miles away from the city, surrounded by continuous, black hole tree mountains and bamboo mountains, in the middle is a large wall, a flat Yang, the soil in the field is black, very fertile. A small stream with thorny canopies and miscellaneous trees along the shore flows zigzags through the mound, and on the edge of a bend in the water, there is a small thatched hut made of straw, which is a mill house powered by water power, and the sound of "porphy" is heard from time to time.

Because it is summer, the mountains are full of verdant, and the white gardenias that bloom for a month or two in a row are like twinkling thin stars dotted among the green pines and bamboos. The woods and the mountain sides are filled with the damp smell of fallen flowers, grass, rotten leaves, and earth.

Walking along the path next to the small stream, after about 10 minutes of effort, a village courtyard among green pines and green bamboos appeared in front of everyone's eyes, this village courtyard is on a small hillside, with its back against the green mountain, and leans forward to the small stream. The house is surrounded by green mountains and green waters, and it is really a very good location, but Huangshi frowned.

There is a mountain stream about 1,000 meters long and 200 meters wide in this mountain township, which is the origin of one of China's famous stones, Tian Huangshi, but now this place has been occupied by someone. Because this is called the "king of the stone" Tianhuang stone is produced in the bottom of the paddy field on both sides of the Shoushan stream and mountain stream that trickles around the village, it is produced at the bottom of the field, and there is more yellow, so it is called Tiankeng stone or Tianhuang. Tianshi is classified by color, and can generally be divided into yellow fields, red fields, white fields, gray fields, black fields and flower fields.

Huangshi remembers that the Shoushan stone at this time is not particularly famous, the people of the Ming Dynasty at this time are not particularly cherished, after the Qing Dynasty, the writings about the Shoushan stone are increasing day by day, but the Shoushan stone is really famous, or the Qianlong Emperor has been around for nearly 200 years.

Now, Huangshi has to think of a way to buy this village and its nearby mountains, forests and paddy fields, and then find a way to fence them up.
