60. Queen Mother Stone Dock
......Early the next morning, accompanied by the whistle of the old-fashioned green-skinned steam train, Lin Feng and Lin Ziyi stepped on the train to IA City. This railway from GZ City to IA City has just been repaired in recent years, and in the past, people of the Lin family wanted to go back to their hometown IA City, and they had to take a train from AJ City.
Lin Feng knew the staff at the train station and took a ride, but he just had to sit at the locomotive. In fact, this kind of weather, sitting in the locomotive is also a kind of enjoyment, because there is a stove that burns all the time, the whole locomotive is extraordinarily warm, and the stove can also be used to heat rice, but there are also two disadvantages, one is too noisy, and the other is smoke and dust. To this end, Lin Feng specially prepared two masks and four earplugs.
Although Lin Ziyi took the train for the second time, it was the first time to take the locomotive. In fact, when he first took the train, he was only four years old, and he had no impression in his mind. After getting into the car, he was most curious about the big stove opposite, a middle-aged uncle would step on the device to open the furnace door with his foot every once in a while, and then add coal to it with a spade and a spade. The old-fashioned steam engine train was not only bulky, but also inefficient and slow, and it took about 10 hours for Lin Feng's grandparents and grandchildren to arrive at the railway station in IA City.
"Senior brother, senior brother, I'm here!" In the crowd, a thin man in his fifties was waving to Lin Feng's side.
"Lin San, why are you?"
"Lin Er has diarrhea and can't come, so call me over. ”
"I think he's afraid to see me, he definitely hasn't practiced seriously in the past few years, I see how long he can hide. Xiao Yi, call Grandpa Lin San.
"Hello Grandpa Linsan. ”
"This is the famous Lin Ziyi, you are famous in Paper Sky Village, someone specially made up a slip for you: climb the railway, drill barbed wire, and burn the Paper Tianzhuang!"
"Hahaha, it's really laughing to death, I told them a long time ago, my Xiaoyi they can't stand it, don't believe it, look at it, how many stories have been made!" Lin Feng was stunned for a moment, and then laughed non-stop, causing the people around him to look sideways.
"Grandpa, isn't my hometown called Paper Tiancun, why is Grandpa Lin San called Paper Tianzhuang?"
"Silly boy, the meaning of village and village is almost the same, the key is not the point, the point is that the few major things you have done have spread throughout the village. Hahaha...... No, it's so funny!"
"Grandpa, what did I do, why don't I remember?"
"Haha, you'll be young, of course I don't remember. Let's talk about this later, I can't walk anymore I laugh, so let's go eat something first, and then hurry. ”
"Oh, great, it's time to eat. ”
Three hours later, the tractor that Lin Feng and the others were riding in finally arrived at Paper Sky Village. If the day is the sun's one-man show, then the night is the pas de deux of the moon and the stars, the black sky is the curtain of the sun's temporary curtain call, and it is also the stage for the moon and the stars to shine to their heart's content, countless stars, like countless diamonds, sparkling, intoxicating.
"Grandpa, why do the moon and stars in my hometown look brighter?" Lin Ziyi asked curiously.
"That's because there are no street lights in the countryside, and there are few lights, so the moon and stars are particularly bright!" Lin Feng said, "Lin San, except for you brothers, no one knows that I am back, right?"
"Nope. ”
"That's good, I heard that the road to Shajiabao has been repaired, if you leave early tomorrow morning, how long will it take to arrive?"
"The road has been repaired, but it can only go to the foot of the mountain, and it takes less than an hour to drive a tractor, although the mountain road has been repaired, it is only a little better, it is estimated that it will take six or seven hours. ”
"Well, then bring dry food, set off at dawn tomorrow, you just take me to the foot of the mountain, three days later, in the afternoon, that is, the thirteenth day of the first month, you go to pick me up, you should be able to rush home for a Lantern Festival." ”
"Good. Lin San replied.
The Empress Dowager Shiwu Mountain, located in the middle of L Province, spans three cities, covers an area of nearly 500 square kilometers, is the only high mountain in the eastern part of the Dragon Kingdom, the highest peak Shihuangling is about 1777 meters above sea level, and the lowest valley is nearly 2000 meters. There is also an allusion to the origin of the name of this mountain range, it is said that the first emperor of the Qin Dynasty sacrificed to the sky in the first emperor's mountain, but the customs at that time stipulated that women could not be brought, so the mother of the first emperor, that is, the queen mother at that time, built a stone dock in another mountain col to pray for the world, this mountain range was named the queen mother stone dock mountain, the descendants referred to as Taishan, and the current Shajiabao was established on the site of the stone dock.
The terrain of Mount Tai is complex, the peaks are steep, the mountains are stacked, the high and low are high and low, the staggered falls, the high one is like the First Emperor Ridge, towering and towering, straight into the clouds; the low one is like the amorous valley, the knife sharpens the axe and chisels, and goes deep into the ground.
There are many kinds of plants on the mountain, and the greenest in winter is the pine and cypress, even in the cold winter, the mountain is full of pine and cypress, the whole mountain is full of green. If you are in the middle of it, the breeze blows through the canopy, the pine waves are gusting, and the cypress waves are rolling, as if you are in a green ocean.
In addition to the pines and cypresses, there are more craggy rocks and rugged mountain roads on this road, which are still very difficult to walk although they have been repaired by man. Because the mountain is so steep, sometimes they even climb up with their faces against the winding stone path.
Lin Ziyi, who persisted for four hours, finally sat down on the ground: "Grandpa, how long will it take to arrive in Shajiabao, I'm tired of walking, can you stop and rest for a while?"
"Then let's rest, just eat something before leaving, if I remember correctly, you can see Shajiabao over this mountain." ”
"Squeak!" Suddenly, a black-gray squirrel came out of a tree hole and jumped to the ground, completely unafraid of this cold winter, calmly holding an unknown nut, from a distance, while looking at Lin Ziyi curiously, while gnawing on the nut.
"Grandpa, look, it's a squirrel, can I feed it?" Lin Ziyi happily pointed at the squirrel and said, this was the first time he had seen a squirrel with his own eyes.
"Be careful, it bites!"
Lin Ziyi took out a peanut from his pocket, shook it deliberately, and gently threw it on the ground. The squirrel hesitated for a moment, then quickly scurried over, snatched the peanut away, and then slipped away into the distance. Probably thinking that the grandfather and grandson were not a threat, he sat down on the ground facing the two of them, found the most comfortable position, put the peanuts on his forelimbs into his mouth, and waited for the shell to be completely bitten open, and then began to chew and taste the flesh with relish.
Lin Ziyi slowly shifted his position, and then threw out a few more peanuts, and the squirrel ran over again after eating it. After a while, two more gluttonous squirrels jumped down from the tree, quickly came over, picked up peanuts on the ground, and one of them didn't grab it, but took the initiative to run to Lin Ziyi's side.
"Hey, it's so itchy, grandpa, it looks like it's biting me with its teeth. ”
"Itchy, it means that it trusts you, and only trust, will it gently gnaw your finger with its teeth, which is a sign of friendliness. ”
After a while, one of the squirrels suddenly stopped, moved his ears, and seemed to be listening, while his eyes rolled and looked around, as if he had found something.
"Friend, since you're here, why hide and hide?" Lin Feng stood up and arched his hand towards a large rock in the distance.
"Haha, worthy of being a titled master, we just hid here, and we were discovered!" Behind the big stone, there was a hearty laugh, and then two men in their thirties walked out.
"I don't know who the two are?"
"The two of us are here to welcome Senior Lin into the castle on the orders of the ancestors!" replied one of the ordinary-looking men in an animal skin vest with a long sword behind his back.
"It turned out to be the apprentice grandson of Sha's predecessors, so there will be two Lao to lead the way!"
"Please!"
"Please!"
