Chapter 214. [Case 23] Yao Gongdezheng

I remember when I was in elementary school, there were four classes in the morning every day, and after the second class, there would be a 20-minute break, during this time, the radio would focus on health exercises, when the students were doing exercises with their eyes closed, the teachers would put things like scallion pancakes or cakes and bread in our own small bowls, as a meal, and soy milk. At that time, my mother prepared for me such an enamel cup for soy milk. Although there is a porcelain character in the name, it feels like metal to the touch. The cup served by the owner of the tea stall is the same as the one I used when I was a child, except that the base of this cup has a lot of paint peeling parts, and it is a little uneven due to collision. Hu Zongren took a sip of tea and felt a little hot, so he put it aside, lit a cigarette, and began to play with the lid of the teacup while smoking.

The lid of this teacup is also a naughty thing that I used to be when I was a child, because there is a small round ball, like a nipple, so at that time I often found two lids, stuffed them into my clothes, and then held my chest up and looked like I had a pair of big boobs. It's perverted, I know, but children, as long as they have a good smile, they are very satisfied. But Hu Zongren, who was in his thirties, actually began to play with the lid in front of me with very lewd gestures, and deliberately moaned at me while playing.

I glared at him, and then said to Hu Zongren, have you been a little panicked recently, and now that you are hungry, this thing can make you play so emotionally. Hu Zongren laughed and said, did you say that the person who designed this thing had a similar idea like me? I didn't have time to pay attention to Hu Zongren's question, because since I met him, I had done many stupid things that I had never thought about in my life. But Hu Zongren said unrelentingly, you say that this woman looks like this, forget it, why should a man be long? I said, you don't even have nipples, are you still human? Hu Zongren said I know, I just don't know what the use of nipples growing on men's bodies, and I can't touch or breastfeed, just like the cecum, it's superfluous. I said who said it was redundant, at least when you stripped naked and stood in front of you, I could tell which side was the front according to the nipples.

I thought it was funny myself, so I laughed out loud. Maybe the topic of our chat seemed a little vulgar, so it aroused some disdain from the old men around us. It was as if the eyes were saying that young people nowadays were thinking about something all day long. I said to Hu Zongren, let's stop talking nonsense, let's think about what to do with the business. Hu Zongren nodded, so he soon waved his hand and called the owner of the tea stall and asked the boss to give him some rock sugar, because many people on our side like to put rock sugar in the tea when drinking tea. When the boss came over with rock candy, Hu Zongren stopped him at once and said "Is it okay for the boss to chat with you?"

Maybe it's because most of the people who come here to drink tea come in groups or to play cards and chess. Although the owner of this tea stall is here for a day, maybe the most people say to him is nothing more than pouring some tea, or another bowl of things like that, probably few people take the initiative to invite him to chat like us. So he looked happy and sat down next to us. This is a middle-aged man who looks about 50 years old, thin and black, he should have been engaged in manual work most of the time when he was young, his hair has a lot of white threads, and it is relatively messy, which shows that he is usually a person who does not pay much attention to his image, and the tea stall needs to be from morning to afternoon, which proves that in addition, he has no other time to do other work, and his age does not seem to be a retired person, so I estimate that he should be a self-employed person who has left his job, but the tea stall in front of him, It is estimated that it is his only livelihood.

Hu Zongren asked him, are there many people who come here to drink tea every day? The boss said that there are quite a lot, more in the morning than in the afternoon, many old men and old ladies have gone back to rest and sleep in the afternoon to prepare dinner, so the afternoon is a little more leisurely, if it is summer, it is cool to drink tea here, no matter how big the sun, sitting here will not sweat! The boss talked a little too much, and when Hu Zongren asked such a question, he began to talk endlessly. Hu Zongren looked up at the cliff wall on the top, which happened to form a natural dome that shaded the sun, so this was a shady place. And the place on the top parallel to the ground, engraved with four vigorous characters, on which is written "Yao Gong Dezheng". Obviously, this Yao Gong is a person, I don't know who it is, but these four words are saying that he is close to the people and loves the people, and is diligent in government affairs. That means that this Yao Gong is an official. The vigorous handwriting and the fact that it is carved on the dome also means that this relatively open area was not artificially excavated later, but at least when these four words were engraved, it was already in the shape it is now.

Hu Zongren pointed to the handwriting on the top and asked, who is this Yao Gong? The owner of the tea stall looked up and said that Yao Gong was Yao Jiyuan, an official of the Qing Dynasty. These inscriptions are very old, but in this Fotuguan Park, there are still many places where you can find some inscriptions related to this Yao Gong. Listening to what the tea stall owner said, I immediately took his words and said, "Boss, how familiar are you with this park?" Have you been setting up a tea stall here for a long time? The boss said that it has been many years, almost 10 years, and at that time, when Fotuguan Park still had to charge, he had already placed it here. I asked him, do people allow you to set up a stall without documents? The boss was a little embarrassed to say, this tea stall can be regarded as the livelihood of the whole family, I have lived in this neighborhood for decades, I have come here to play since I was a child, I am very familiar with this place, and I also have feelings. The administrative division of this park is under the jurisdiction of the same street as where I live, and the street knows that there are some difficulties in my house, so they allow me to make a tea stall here. I receive a lot of tea customers every day, and I'm here to facilitate the masses who live up and down.

I calculated the distance, we have walked for about ten minutes from the beginning of the door, although I don't know how far there is ahead, but people come here slowly, want to have a cup of tea, it is also a reasonable thing. The middle-aged man in front of him was able to support his family by relying on such a very simple tea stall, and it was indeed very difficult. Hu Zongren opened his mouth and asked the owner of the tea stall, if you continue to walk from here, how old will this park be? The boss smashed his mouth and said, "It's fast if you want to finish, because the places open to tourists in the park are actually a few roads, and if you walk along the road, if it's just a walk, it's probably only an hour to finish." I hurriedly asked the boss, what do you mean, that is, there are still places in this park that are not open to the public?

The owner of the tea stall said, of course, the places that are not open are much larger than the places that are open, and when we were children, those places were not allowed to enter and exit, and now it is said that these people are afraid of falling and danger, so tourists are not allowed to go. After speaking, the boss pointed to the cliff outside the railing, you see that below, there are all grass piles and bushes, there used to be a plank road in that place, there is a small river ditch in it, when we were young, we often turned down to find the source of the ditch. Hu Zongren asked him, have you found it? The boss said that he could not find Sa, the river was flowing out of the crack in the rock, it was said that there was a dark river below, when the ditch was still there, it flowed in the direction of the opposite cliff, there was a small waterfall, but the water of the waterfall could not flow into the river below, because it was quickly absorbed by the soil on the slope, and then absorbed by the plants.

I looked in the direction he pointed, and that direction was the cliff on the side of the Jialing River, of course, now the cliff was reflected by the surrounding high-rise buildings, and it looked less precipitous. But the situation he said is a very interesting phenomenon, if I want to understand it, it is likely that after the waterfall comes out, it becomes a dark river of underground water, and the cycle repeats. The boss went on to say that the place where the waterfall used to be called Hubei Cliff, this mountain looks like a lying tiger, and there is still an ancient stone tablet at the mouth, I can't remember what is written on it, but it is still there.

That is, the words of the tea stall owner, Hubei Cliff, suddenly reminded me of Hutou Rock, Hutou Rock is one of the four divine beast positions, and because of this, Situ took us to find the mystery behind it, so that place is a very critical place for me. So I hurriedly asked the owner of the tea stall, why is this place called Hubei Cliff? Is it really like a tiger? After speaking, I pointed to the direction of Hutou Rock, which was about 15 degrees northwest of Hubei Cliff as he said, and then asked him, what does this Hubei Cliff have to do with Hutou Rock? The boss said that these two places are together! In the past, when you went down the gentle slope of the cliff, you could walk to Hutou Rock! Do you think, this has a tiger's back, there must be a tiger's head, even this Buddha Tuguan, used to be called the Tiger Prison Pass, the tiger has to lie down here obediently, and you can't run off!

After saying that, the tea stall owner laughed and began to indulge in his sense of humor. Hu Zongren and I glanced at each other, and I knew that we were beginning to think that the so-called Tiger Back Cliff might be the first place we found in this place related to the four divine beasts. So I asked the boss, do you still get that place? It's that Tiger's Back Cliff.

The shopkeeper said, "I can't go there, and I've built a fence to stop it, unless you go over the wall."
