Chapter 63: The Ancient City of Xizhou (2)

Wu Long accompanied Liu Yunwen up the stairs and came to the top of the city wall. This section of the city wall of the west gate is the highest place in the entire Xizhou county, standing here can overlook any place within ten miles around the county, and the extreme eye is the reckless mountains and the streams and rivers that flow from the depths of the mountains.

Because the foot of the west gate is 15 meters wide, I don't know when it was full of houses, and people could not climb this section of the wall at that time.

Wu Long told Liu Yunwen that he remembered that when he was a child, there used to be a big bell on the city wall, which was used to call the police in ancient times when there was an enemy, and it was used to call the air defense after liberation. He only heard this bell ring twice in his memory, and it was an air defense exercise. The sound of the bell is loud and deafening, because it is surrounded by mountains on all sides, the echo of the bell is very large, it comes from here, and echoes from the side of the mountain, the aftersound is long, as if the mountain shakes the ground, and the whole Xizhou County can hear it.

In recent years, in order to protect the surviving ancient city walls, the houses have been demolished, and the large bell has been moved elsewhere, and now it is a place for leisure and sightseeing.

Wu Long told Liu Yunwen that it took nearly 30 years to repair the city wall of Xizhou in the Ming Dynasty, and the momentum was quite magnificent. The length of the whole city wall is nearly 15 kilometers, and there are 481 enemy towers, 1,488 battlements, 10 sentry forts, 26 towers, and 4 city gates. Eight attics.

The attic is mainly concentrated on the section of the city wall from the south gate to the west gate, where the terrain is the highest, the view is wide, and the beautiful stream and river are faced. In the peaceful era when there was no war in ancient times, it was a good place for people to relax and entertain, the lights were brilliant every night, singing and dancing, singing, juggling, drinking tea and watching the night scene, lively and extraordinary.

It's just that now those buildings have been wiped out in countless wars, and the prosperity of the past has been gone, and only the shadow of them can be seen in the county records.

Walk not far to the east along the ancient city wall, there is a pavilion, the building is built on the city wall, Liu Yunwen knows that this building is called "Kou Gong Building", it is built by the people of Xizhou to commemorate the Prime Minister of the Song Dynasty, Kou Zhun.

The original building of this building has long been destroyed in the war, which was rebuilt on the original site during the Jiaqing period of the Qing Dynasty, and was burned down by the Japanese once in 1944, and repaired to the present state in the early years.

Wu Long said that in 1019, Kou Zhun was demoted to Xizhou Sima, lived here for a total of six years, and was later sent to Leizhou. This building was built by the people of Xizhou to commemorate Kou Zhun back then.

There are a lot of visitors on the city wall, most of them come to see the scenery, this Kou Gong Building is almost all newly repaired, it is empty inside, and there is nothing to see, except for the two broken blue brick walls and the plaque that has written "Kou Gong Building" can also find a little ancient atmosphere, there is no thing around that makes people go back to the past. According to research, the plaque was inscribed by Emperor Jiaqing when the Qing Dynasty rebuilt the Kou Gong Building.

Wu Long and Liu Yunwen went down the city wall, and it was not far from here to the school. They walked along the ancient street to the school, Wu Long was very talkative, knowledgeable, and introduced Liu Yunwen with refined language, quoting classics, and full of fun, so that Liu Yunwen was fascinated by it. The opinion of Wu Long in my heart is also different.

Liu Yunwen and Wu Long came to an ancient archway in front of the archway, the archway is carved with the wooden structure of the fine twist stone imitation 4th floor 4 pillars and 3 heavy eaves, the square forehead railing is carved with the relief carving and garden carving techniques respectively, the dragon, the phoenix, the eight immortals and other patterns are carved respectively, there are chela fish opposite to the eaves, and the landscape and flower patterns in the eaves are set off.

Wu Long introduced to Liu Yunwen that this memorial arch was donated by a Jinshi in Xizhou during the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty. Qing Dynasty archway has suffered the destruction of the second war, in 1944 Japan entered Xizhou, the archway was destroyed again, now this archway has been a little out of shape.

Wu Long sent Liu Yunwen to the school gate, Liu Yunwen stopped letting him send it, and now it is almost evening, and many students who have gone home have begun to return to school one after another, she doesn't want others to see any misunderstanding.

Wu Long was also very interested, so he said goodbye to her at the school gate and watched her walk towards the school with a smile. Looking at Liu Yunwen's back of Ana, Wu Long's heart couldn't help but give birth to a sense of excitement that he had never felt before. Although he knew that Liu Yunwen didn't feel that way about himself now, he identified her.

"Wu Shao! Why are you here? A voice suddenly sounded behind Wu Long, startling him.

The person behind was Jiang Chaoqian, who had just returned to school from home, and when he saw Wu Long, he greeted him. Looking ahead, he saw Liu Yunwen walking towards the school, and thought to himself, could it be that Wu Long was here to send Liu Yunwen? How did they meet?

Because of the relationship between Wu Hui and Li Fangsheng, Wu Long and Li Chaoqian are also very familiar, he nodded with Jiang Chaoqian and asked, "Just from home?" ”

Jiang Chaoqian walked in front of Wu Long, knowing that he had just sent Liu Yunwen here, but still asked, "Wu Shao, why did you come to school?" ”

Wu Long said: "I'll send a friend." ”

Jiang Chaoqian listened to Wu Long's words, and his heart was a little sour. Although he doesn't dare to be too presumptuous in front of Liu Yunwen now, he has been chasing Liu Yunwen secretly, as long as he has the opportunity, he always wants to show himself in front of her, hoping to gain her favor, but Liu Yunwen always turns a blind eye to him, which makes him very distressed. Now that Wu Long has stepped in again, this makes him feel even more hopeless.

No matter what you do now, you have to talk about strength, can your own strength compete with Wu Long? Obviously impossible! In his heart, he always thought that he Lao Tzu was omnipotent, and after that time he taught Mo Jiyan a lesson, he seemed to wake up like a dream, he Lao Tzu was still a figure in Wuma Town, but he was as powerless as Mo Jiyan when he met someone like Mo Jiyan. If he walks out of Wuma Town, he will be nothing.

So after going to high school, Jiang Chaoqian has worked a lot harder in his studies, his IQ is not bad, as long as he keeps his mind and studies hard, his grades will come up quickly. Now his grades are second only to Liu Yunwen and Wu Lanyun in the class.

Whether it was Wu Long or Jiang Chaoqian, no matter what kind of thoughts and thoughts they had about Liu Yunwen, for Liu Yunwen, she didn't think much about them at all in her heart. Not to mention the relationship between men and women, in her heart, except for her brother Liu Jingwen, she would not think about any boy.

The day of the college entrance examination is getting closer and closer, and the students are raising their hearts to their throats. Studying often involves working overtime, and some students often study late into the night.

Although Liu Yunwen is more confident in her grades, she does not dare to be careless, and usually studies her homework until more than nine o'clock in the evening. In the past few years, my brother Liu Jingwen has suffered a lot for her, and he also placed great hopes on her, and he can't make any mistakes in this college entrance examination. Fortunately, she now has miraculous skills to protect her body, and her energy is quite strong every day.

This morning, just after the first class break, Liu Yunwen's phone rang, at first she thought it was her brother calling, during this time because of study tension she has not been home for almost two months, brother said that today to send her money.

She took out the phone and saw that it was not her brother's phone, it was an unfamiliar number, she couldn't help but froze for a moment, who was calling?
