Chapter 18 Mouse
Hexagonal wells? I seem to have heard this name, I kept searching in my mind, and suddenly, I remembered that I said that my father had an accident in Nanjing, and the place where the accident happened was the Hexagonal Well.
This Uncle Liu took me to this place, and there is also a note from my father, this thing is getting stranger and stranger, I don't know what secrets are hidden in this hexagonal well.
I agreed with Uncle Changming to see me at the old place tomorrow and got out of the car, and returned to the hotel, it was almost midnight, in order not to make people suspicious, I bought a bottle of liquor in the small shop downstairs and drank two sips, squatted downstairs for a while, and only got up and went upstairs when I blushed.
When I arrived at the room, Brother Hao hadn't slept yet, and I was a little surprised to see me come back with a red face.
"Drink again! If you can't drink it, drink less! ”
I pretended to be dazed and fell on the bed, looked at Hao Ge and smiled.
Seeing me like this, Brother Hao got up and poured me a cup of hot water, sat on the edge of the bed and stuffed a cigarette in my mouth, and chatted with me, "How about the party at night, male classmates or female classmates?" ”
"Male classmate!" I also sat up and leaned against the head of the bed, and Brother Hao handed over the fire.
"That Liu Yuxiao is really fucking drinkable today, I didn't wake up until night, and my head hurts a little!" Brother Hao sat on the edge of the bed and said while smoking.
I smiled and said, "Don't you always say that you are a catty?" ”
Brother Hao also smiled, "One pound can't do two pounds." ”
"Is there any news from Dad?" , I asked.
"No, I'm also asking his friends about it." After two more words, I yawned for a long time, and after working for half a day, I was already sleepy, and I fell asleep without taking off my clothes.
When I got up in the morning, I saw the second grandfather and made a fuss, and there was no news about the matter, so I had nothing to do in the hotel, and I remembered the shop at home, so I used the phone in the room to call Jianwen.
Everything was safe and sound in the shop, Jianwen and I briefly talked about the recent business situation, and when I was about to hang up the phone, he suddenly told me that the Nanjing surnamed Shen had called the shop and asked if I was in the store, and when he learned that I went to Nanjing, he left a phone number, saying that if there was anything to help with, you could find him.
Hung up the phone, nothing happened, Brother Hao said that he came to Nanjing, the ancient capital of the six dynasties, let's go out and go around, think about it, there is really nothing to do, so I shouted a big fuss, went out to take a taxi, and the group went straight to the Sun Yat-sen Mausoleum.
The driver's eldest brother is an old Nanjing, people are very enthusiastic, I heard that we are from other places, along the way with us Shao Nanjing's customs, listen to the eldest brother all the way, unconsciously arrived at the Sun Yat-sen Mausoleum.
On this day, it is not a tourist season, and there are no people under the mountain, only some hawkers are peddling Yuhua stone, Pixiu handicrafts and other gadgets, I and Dahao are not interested in these things, but Brother Hao looks very fond of it, and the hawker cut half a sky-high price, and spent five yuan to buy a red Yuhua stone.
As he walked, he excitedly said to me, "Look how transparent this stone is, and there are snowflakes in it, it's really worthy of its name!" Talking and laughing, he came to the Sun Yat-sen Mausoleum.
Sun Yat-sen Mausoleum is located at the foot of Zhongshan Mountain, Zhongshan is located in the east of Nanjing, known as Jinling Mountain in ancient times, called Zhongshan in the Han Dynasty, known as "one of the four famous mountains in the south of the Yangtze River" since ancient times, because the ridge has purple shale, whenever the sun rises in the east, or the remnant sun shines obliquely, the purple gas rises, unpredictable, so it is also called the Purple Mountain.
Listen to Brother Hao said that the Sun Yat-sen Mausoleum was built in 1923, when we came to the square along a tree-lined boulevard, the first thing we saw was the tall Sanmen stone archway, which was engraved with the words "fraternity" in Mr. Sun Yat-sen's handwriting, which pointed out Mr. Sun Yat-sen's broad mind and lofty ideals.
Brother Hao said that the archway is mainly used to praise virtue in terms of function.
The statue of Dr. Sun Yat-sen on the square in front of the stone square is heroic, and the waving gesture seems to be delivering a speech related to the fate of the country.
Pedal to the steps and then to the mausoleum gate, after more than 300 steps, unconsciously arrived at the highest place of the Sun Yat-sen Mausoleum. The mausoleum gate is topped with blue glazed tiles, and on the forehead of the door is the handwriting of Mr. Sun Yat-sen, "the world is the public".
There are three arches in the sacrificial hall, and the lintel is engraved with the horizontal batches of "nation", "civil rights" and "people's livelihood" respectively, and you can see that the two walls of the main sacrificial hall are engraved with the introduction of Mr. Sun Yat-sen, and the black wall is very eye-catching. It is said that after Mr. Sun's death in Beijing, the coffin was transported to Nanjing by a special car, and a grand ceremony was held in the Purple Mountain Cemetery on June 1, 1929.
To this day, there is still an endless stream of people who come to pay their respects to him. Looking up, there is a mausoleum painted with the Kuomintang emblem on it, and this place is more solemn under the illumination of the light.
Standing on the high platform in front of the mausoleum, you can see that the entire Sun Yat-sen Mausoleum is surrounded by green mountains and green trees. Condescendingly, taking in the whole city of Nanjing, having such a broad vision, makes people's minds a lot broader, and sweeps away the boredom of recent days.
I think that Dr. Sun Yat-sen's achievements during his lifetime are unparalleled, which is why future generations will build such a grand mausoleum to commemorate him.
I can't help but think of the wordless stele I saw at the mausoleum gate just now, that is, Mr. Sun Yat-sen did not want to engrave his great achievements on the stele, and future generations freely commented. It deepened my admiration for Mr. The heart is surging with the turbulent years in China's modern history, and admiration arises spontaneously.
I suddenly remembered the famous words of Dr. Sun Yat-sen: "The revolution has not yet succeeded, and comrades still need to work hard." At the same time, I also deeply understood that the realization of life goals is full of difficulties and setbacks, and only when we persevere in a firm pace can we make a difference.
"It's the hero who turns himself into a hero, and it's the coward who turns himself into a coward." The trip to the Sun Yat-sen Mausoleum gave me a deeper understanding of this sentence.
Mr. Sun Yat-sen was a great man and a national hero who saved the destiny of the Chinese nation, and his mental journey gave me a profound enlightenment: only by closely linking our personal destiny with the destiny of the motherland and the nation, and linking the pursuit of personal ideals with the great cause of building socialism with Chinese characteristics, can we create a splendid life through hard study, creation and dedication.
In the afternoon, we went to the Presidential Palace and Xuanwu Lake, standing at the door of the Presidential Palace, not only remembering the history of millions of lions crossing the river, but also the scene of the red flag flying on the Presidential Palace, this Xuanwu Lake was Zhu Yuanzhang's backyard in those years, and the sailors of the early Ming Dynasty were trained here.
Walking on the edge of Xuanwu Lake, looking at the sparkling lake under the sunset, thinking of going to the mysterious hexagonal well at night, I can't help but sigh in my heart, how many secrets are buried in this ancient city of Nanjing!
In the evening, I made another excuse and came to the door of Huayunyan Hotel, this time I pressed the point, and saw that Liu Yuxiao was already waiting there, and when he saw me coming, he didn't speak, so he took me to the car and went straight to the yard before.
When I got to the house, there were already a lot of bags piled up next to the bed, Uncle Changming and Liu Yuxiao didn't say a word and started to move after changing their clothes, I remembered my father's words, and sighed, changed my clothes and started working.
After working for another two hours, the bags were almost moved, and Uncle Changming shouted under the bed: "Old Sun, old money, come up and rest!" ”
After a while, I saw two old men coming out from under the bed, about fifty or sixty years old, not tall, very fine, with hats on their heads, and covered in dirt.
Uncle Changming took the kettle, handed everyone a cup, poured some water to drink, and gave everyone cigarettes, so that everyone could smoke and rest.
As soon as these two old men saw me, they were a little surprised, so they turned their heads to look at Uncle Changming, and Uncle Changming introduced me and said, "This is Jianjun, Lao Zhang's son, his own person!" ”
The two old men nodded and smoked without saying a word, and Uncle Changming looked at me again and said, "This is Lao Sun, Lao Qian, and his own people!" ”
Uncle Changming turned his head to look at Lao Sun Lao Qian and said, "How is the progress now, and how long will it take?" The old man raised his head, opened his mouth a little dry, and said hoarsely: "I have been digging for four days, and I estimate that I will be able to dig the wall of the well in three days!" ”
Uncle Changming nodded when he heard this, and said, "Let's work hard, time is running out, we can't let that group of people take the lead!" When he had finished speaking, he stepped on the cigarette and stood up, and when the two old men saw it, they also got up and drank their water, and went under the bed again.
The two old men went to the ground, and there was nothing for us to do for the time being, and the three of us were waiting outside, and just when I was bored, I suddenly heard a "squeak" from under the bed, which was especially obvious in this quiet room.
Uncle Changming and Liu Yuxiao obviously heard it, and they both raised their heads, so I leaned down and looked under the bed, but there was no movement, at this time Uncle Changming and Liu Yuxiao also came over, and they both squatted on the edge of the bed, looking down.
I watched for a while and didn't move, and was about to speak, Uncle Changming put his hand on my mouth and signaled me not to speak, at this moment, a small head poked out of his head, and the thing opened its small eyes to see that there was no danger and came out at once, it turned out to be a mouse.
