Chapter Eighty-Three: Experience
Tang Chen didn't have any objections, he didn't want to be too showy, what if he held it too high, and he didn't have any real skills, what if he fell down?
A manly man must be able to bend and stretch. Pretend to be cowardly, and leave room for the limelight, friends all over the world, in order to eat in all directions.
You alone are out of the limelight, and everyone else has become a foil, so who is willing to be friends with you?
In China, it is a humane society, and the first thing that comes to mind when there is anything is is family and friends. If you have fewer friends, you have fewer opportunities to make money. Of course, this kind of friend does not mean a bad friend, a friend who is not worth making, but a friend who can really help you.
As soon as I arrived on the island, I saw that the sandy land by the river was cultivated by the hard-working farmers, the sweet potatoes had sprouted, the corn had borne fruit, the vegetable fields were all green, and the beach on the south side of the island was full of cows. At the end of summer, the island blooms with wildflowers, white, purple and blue, dotted with wild weeds.
The embankment in the village is verdant with ancient trees, and the towering fine-leaved banyan trees extend from the upper sand to the lower sand, and some require three or four people to hug them. The villagers said that most of the banyan trees in the village are hundreds of years old, and it is good to enjoy the shade under the big trees, and the careful villagers have also set up granite stone benches under the banyan trees, and the hundred-year-old banyan trees have also become an excellent place for the villagers to relax.
Wang Dongxu while holding the compass, while introducing: "This Jiangxin Island is called Qinsha Island, according to legend, Bao Gong went to Duanzhou (today, Zhao, Qing) to take office, sailing in the middle of the Xijiang River, encountered wind and waves, accidentally dropped the piano in this river, and then it became a beautiful island, this is Qinsha Island." Shangsha Village has four surnames: Luo, Li, Liang and Shi, and there is also the Li clan ancestral hall in the village, which is said to have a history of 120 years......
He is a native of Nanhai City, and naturally has a view of Qinsha Island
After entering the village, you will see neat rows of Qing Dynasty-style houses, and you can see terrazzo brick houses everywhere. Among them, there are three buildings connected in front of Shangsha Village, from right to left, they are the Li Clan Ancestral Hall, the Shanglian Warehouse and the Dongxi Township School. The Li ancestral hall was in tatters, with only four walls left, but the villagers still pasted festive couplets at the entrance of the ancestral hall. Shangsha Village has four surnames: Luo, Li, Liang and Shi, and since the Li ancestral hall was abandoned, no ancestral hall has been built. Villagers say that the warehouse used to be a "mansion" and is more than 120 years old. Dongxi Township School was built during the Xuantong period of the Qing Dynasty, and Feng Li, a native of the South China Sea, wrote an inscription.
Tang Chen looked at these ancient buildings and felt that there was a sense of vicissitudes of writing history. Walking under the dappled shade of the trees, the old houses of the water mill and blue bricks on the island are lined up, and the river breeze passing by makes people feel cool.
Just when Tang Chen was attracted by the humanity and scenery of Qinsha Island, an old voice came: "Who are you?"
Everyone turned their heads to see that it was an old man in a white vest, looking at them suspiciously. In fact, there are also many people who come to travel on Qinsha Island, and they have long been surprised. But Tang Chen's group was dressed a little strangely, Wang Dongxu and Qian Lao were both wearing Tang costumes and horse coats, and they were holding a compass, and people with a little common sense knew what they were here for.
Wang Dongxu hurriedly went over to negotiate and said: "Uncle, we are here to see the land, and if it is suitable, we will buy it......"
The old man was stunned: "What's so good about this island, there is not even running water, you come here to buy land?"
"No, there is no running water on this island?" Wang Dongxu said in disbelief.
The old man said lightly: "Our ancestors have been drinking Xijiang water for generations, what's so strange. ”
Wang Dongxu asked again, only to know that because of the remote location of this Qinsha Island, there are not many residents on the island. Compared to the lively village of Tsing Hang, the island appears quiet, without the hustle and bustle of the city. According to official statistics, there are 369 permanent residents in Shangsha Village and 442 people in Xiasha Village. But it is estimated that there are fewer than 200 people living on the island, and most of the young people have moved out, or have moved out of the island.
"Uncle, I don't think the water of the Xijiang River is clean, don't you drink it ......?"
The old man sighed and said: "What can I do, I can only drink it hard, do I still want to die of thirst? I retired from the Wuyang Bicycle Factory in the provincial capital and am now over 90 years old, and I have drunk the water of the Xijiang River for so many years, and my body is still quite strong. It's just that in the past few years, the number of factories on both sides of the Xijiang River has been increasing, and the pollution has been increasing, and from time to time I will see black sewage flowing through the Xijiang River, which makes me tremble......"
Tang Chen was silent, although he knew that this was something that could not be avoided, but these companies had also gone too far. In the long run, not to mention that Xijiang is a big dragon, I am afraid that it will be polluted into a sick dragon, and finally become a dead dragon. Once it becomes a dead dragon, the two sides of the Xijiang River, even hundreds of kilometers of radiation, will have to be finished.
The reason why Feng Shui pursues the unity of heaven and man is here, if the general environment deteriorates, no matter how great the Feng Shui master's ability is, there is nothing to be done.
"Are you...... Mr. Feng Shui, right?"
This ninety-year-old man can be regarded as having been in the dust for a long time, so he naturally saw that Wang Dongxu had a compass in his hand.
"Yes, I am a feng shui master, and I originally went to Qingkeng Village to survey a house for this big boss. Seeing that this Qinsha Island seems to have good feng shui, I went to the island to take a look, and if it was suitable, we bought it. ”
Wang Dongxu's words were said without leakage, and Tang Chen secretly studied it.
The old man nodded and said, "So that's the case, but listen to me, don't think too much, if there is really any feng shui treasure, wouldn't we, the inhabitants of the island, have developed a long time ago?"
Wang Dongxu smiled and did not speak. The old man naturally couldn't see that this Qinsha Island was Luo Xingshuikou, and ordinary feng shui masters couldn't see it, only a demon like Tang Chen, who had extraordinary eyesight, dared to conclude.
Not only that, this Luoxing Shuikou has not yet taken shape, and it will take decades to form a feng shui situation.
If it weren't for Tang Chen, no one would think that the feng shui situation here was good.
"Then can we see feng shui on the island?"
Wang Dongxu knows that in some places, it is very taboo to have a feng shui master come to see feng shui. This is also the normal situation of people, and it is clear that this piece of feng shui treasure land belongs to their village, but if it is sold to you, you will become developed, and people will be red-eyed! Fat and water do not flow into outsiders' fields, let alone feng shui treasure land? In order to avoid disputes, Wang Dongxu still made a statement to ask about it more safely. If this provokes public anger and hundreds of villagers beat you with hoes and ironwoods, then you are also dumb and eat coptis, and you can't tell if you have bitterness.
What is experience, this is experience. Tang Chen watched from the sidelines and learned a lot.
Reading thousands of books and traveling thousands of miles are all sophisticated, and what should be learned still needs to be learned.
