Yangcun Middle School was built in the 60s, when Yangcun was still an independent township, with three large natural villages under its jurisdiction, a total of 32 production teams, and a total population of about 40,000.

Yangcun Township is located at the junction of Zhejiang and Anhui provinces, and the highest Tianmu Mountain Range in northern Zhejiang is the natural dividing line between the two provinces. Although it is located in a remote location, it is a place where soldiers must fight, as long as you control Yangcun, a mountain village, you can grasp the traffic lifeline of two provinces and three counties, so no matter which dynasty or generation, this place has never been quiet.

The history that can be traced under the nose is the tomb group of the Yue nobles in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period in Yang Village, and the Wu Yue Qian family in the fifth generation built a solemn and grand temple in Yang Village, called: Jinghui Temple. This temple in northwest Zhejiang at that time was the largest and most collected by Buddhism, and gradually declined in the vicissitudes of historical wars, until it was rebuilt in the middle of the Ming Dynasty, and then destroyed in the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom Movement. It wasn't until the year before last that people from overseas donated money and materials to choose another address for reconstruction, and now it is called an incense boom.

Why choose another site instead of rebuilding it in place? There's a reason for that.

During the Great Leap Forward in the 50s, Yangcun was still a large commune, and in order to better enable the children of the peasants to receive education in New China, the commune decided to build a junior high school. At that time, the land was basically in full swing to compete for food production, so the foundation needed for the school was very difficult to find.

Jinghui Mountain was originally the site of the old Jinghui Zen Temple, because of the continuous reconstruction and expansion in history, the entire area is about 20 acres of land, which is enough to build a middle school. It's just that the original temple site is located in the middle of the mountain, and the construction project is very huge, but in order to set up a five-star red flag in the sky above Yang Village, the commune resolutely decided to transfer hardcover labor to do farm work during the day and build a school at night.

At that time, my eldest and second uncles were involved in this movement. The place where Jinghui Temple is located is a very sticky loess, which can be made into an earthen wall from local materials, and only needs to level the foundation, but the difficulty of the construction process is far more difficult than they imagined.

At that time, people worked with all their energy, and everyone knew that building schools was a good thing and they didn't feel tired, but half of them didn't dare to continue working at the beginning of construction.

Because there used to be a large building on the original site, in order to level the land, explosives were used in the commune at that time, and the stone statues, stone piers, and stone slabs that could not be pryed by human power were all smashed with explosives.

On the first day of construction, when the third shot was fired, there was an accident. A fuse stopped halfway through the burning, and there was a bold man who didn't move for a long time and went to see, but when he just arrived, the fuse had burned to the end, and a loud "boom" blew him aside, and the person was gone.

Something happened, but the project could not be stopped, and inspired by the spirit of the great leader, the leaders of the Commune were determined to overcome all difficulties. So more people were transferred to this construction site, and for the next period of time, either the person's foot was hit by a stone, or the person's head was hit with a hole, in short, there were accidents every day, and blood was shed every day.

Later, the members began to say that this place was the foundation of the temple, and such a rude move to the territory of the Bodhisattva would be punished. At that time, it was indeed the case, those crooked Buddha statues were blown to pieces, and the leader's request was to level all the 20 acres of land in a radius, so that not a single weed could be seen.

After a series of accidents, the members were reluctant to go again, and the construction site was forced to stop on the fourth day. At that time, the head of the commune used to be a soldier, a company commander, and he had studied Taoism for a few days before the revolution, and he felt that this matter was a little strange, but because of his identity and it was difficult to say, he went to privately find a few people who understood to clean up and do practical things.

Until dawn, the few people who did not come back, and the commune sent people to the construction site to take a look, and all three of them fainted in the pile of rubble. Of the three, one went insane, another died soon after, and the other ran away overnight with his family. The crazy man would only say four words from morning till night: what a big face......

The site was reopened in the sixties, and in the midst of that vigorous campaign, the Red Guards clamored to fight all the ghosts, snakes, and spirits. The local Yangcun Middle School, which was forced to suspend work because of a series of haunted events, naturally became their first place of eradication, and they clamored to plant the red flag of revolution on the head of feudal superstition, so that the seeds of revolution could take root and sprout from the field of feudal superstition, so the reconstruction of Yangcun Middle School was put on the agenda again at that time.

Although most people had experienced the lockout of work ten years earlier, revolutionary fervor had once again triumphed over fear, and almost everyone in the Commune who could move threw themselves into the war against feudal superstition.

Strange to say, perhaps it was the strength of the Red Guards that scared the ghosts, and there were no accidents on the construction site this time. All the historical relics in the temple base with a radius of 20 acres were blown up to the sky, and people began to level the base after cleaning up the ground buildings, only to find that after removing the first layer of ground buildings, there were layers of tombs in the loess below.

My uncle was in charge of transporting the earthwork on a two-wheeled cart, and the body was full of human bones, and it took more than 20 two-wheeled trucks to transport it non-stop, and it took a whole week to pile up several mountains of human bones. The more you dig down, the more tombs there are, and you can't distinguish the dynasties and years at all, all the things in bottles and cans are broken on the spot, ** or intact coffins are dug out and piled up and burned in situ, and the bronze artifacts that can't be destroyed are taken to the small workshop steelmaking furnace to melt.

After the foundation was dug up, it was really impossible to continue, there were too many tombs, and those hard tombs needed to be blasted with explosives. In order to meet the deadline, they used the previously damaged ground buildings as pit fillers.

The whole Yangcun Middle School is composed like this: at the bottom is a tomb that cannot be cleaned, and the foundation above is a mixture of destroyed Buddha statues, temple buildings, loess and human bones, and then the upper layer is a mixture of cinders, lime and loess.

According to the second uncle, who was in charge of building the wall at that time, broken bones were everywhere in the loess used to build the wall, and they smashed them with hammers on the spot when they were too big. In less than two months, a brand-new school completely replaced the temple foundation, and since then the people of Yangcun have begun to have their own middle school, and generations of Yangcun people have walked out of the mountains through here.

There has been almost no change from my father's generation to our first two years, with a row of two-story school buildings, a row of bungalows as dormitories, a canteen and a large auditorium. This auditorium is based on the old Great Hall, and in addition to reporting performances, most of the time is used to park bicycles, and the place is unusually cold all year round, and it is cooler than an air-conditioned room in the summer.

In the nearly 40 years since the establishment of Yangcun Middle School, almost nothing has happened, and slowly the older generation has begun to forget the story of Yangcun Middle School in the 50s.

Cha Wenbin took a sip of tea, got up and walked to the corridor of the newly built four-story teaching building, patted the railing and said, "This building is not strong enough. ”

As soon as Zhao Yunxiao heard this, he immediately asked the principal coldly, "Who built it?" ”

The headmaster was sweating all over his neck, and he did eat a little kickback in this building, and if he was shaken out that his black gauze hat was gone, he might have to go to prison.

"I'm not talking about the quality of the construction of this building, you may not know about the incident of Yangcun Middle School forty years ago, but if you ask about the people over sixty years old here, I am afraid that there are few who do not know." Cha Wenbin turned around and continued: "The land under our feet is not something that anyone can move, and if someone moves, then it will take a human life." ”

Cha Wenbin patted Hetu's shoulder again and said, "In your opinion, how is the feng shui here?" ”

Hetu leaned on the railing and glanced at it: "Surrounded by four elephants here, it can lead water and hide the wind." Shallow and deep to multiply, feng shui is self-contained, Shi is the mother of anger, and there is earth to have qi. Qi is the mother of water, and only when there is qi can there be water. If it is buried deeply, it should be an excellent acupuncture point. ”

Cha Wenbin smiled: "I let you see the school, not the cemetery." ”

"But this place is only suitable for burying the dead......" As soon as these words came out, the faces of the people next to them turned pale.

"You're still too tender." Cha Wenbin lightly stepped on the ground with his foot and said: "This is Jinjing, this land is the best within a radius of 100 miles, and there are too many Yin mansions, which makes this good land a gathering place." All the people who built this temple later were also a master. I wanted to use Buddhism to resolve the anger here, because there was only one exit from the golden well, and the souls buried here all went in and out from this opening, so this place was deliberately vacated at that time, and a patio was built, which was originally guarded by the four great vajras, but it was later destroyed. ”

Zhao Yunxiao was surprised to hear it and interjected: "Master, how do you know so much?" ”

Cha Wenbin pointed to Hetu and said, "His grandfather was also from Yang Village back then, and he ran out of here because of that accident. ”
