76, Zimeng Fortress (Meng)

Mother's love often does not have earth-shattering feats, but is only deeply soaked in every thought, every admonition, and even every gaze for her children. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

At the same time, the mother was struggling to find her child.

She walked blindly forward. How does she live? She didn't know it herself. She walked day after day, night after night. She begs, eats weeds, lies on the ground, sleeps in the open among thorns and under the stars, and sometimes braves the wind and rain.

She went from village to village, from farm to farm, asking everywhere. She stopped in front of someone's house, ragged. Sometimes she was received, sometimes she was banished. When she couldn't get into the house, she went into the woods.

She was unfamiliar with this place, and she didn't know anything about it except Kouhe County and Diansha District. She did not have a definite route, and sometimes turned to the road she had already walked, and walked in vain. Sometimes she walks along paving stones, sometimes on ruts, sometimes on paths in the woods. In this wandering life, her shabby clothes are even more worn out. Initially she

Wearing shoes, she was barefoot and ended up bleeding from both feet.

She walked through the war, through the rain of bullets, but she couldn't hear anything, she couldn't see anything, she didn't shy away from anything, she was looking for the child. Due to the full-scale rebellion, she could not find the police, the mayor, or the authorities, so she had to ask passers-by.

She asked them, "Have you ever seen three little children?"

Passers-by looked up.

"Two boys and a girl. She said.

She went on to say:

"Chen Rang, Chen Lan and Chen Zhi. You didn't see it?"

She added:

"The eldest is four and a half years old, and the little girl is one and a half years old. ”

And she said, "Do you know where they are? ”

Passers-by looked at her, and that's all.

Seeing that people did not understand, she said:

"The child is mine. So I inquired. ”

Passers-by continue on their path. So she stopped, without saying a word, and scratched her chest with her nails.

One day, however, a farmer listened to her, and thought about it, and said, "Wait, you mean three children?"

"Yes. ”

"Two boys?"

"And a girl. ”

"That's what you're looking for?"

"Yes. ”

"I heard that there was a general of the Qi army who captured three children and took them away. ”

"Where are these people?" she cried, "where are they?"

The farmer replied:

"Go to the city of Zimeng. ”

"Where can I find my child?"

"Maybe. ”

"You're talking about ?......"

"Self-deception. ”

"What is self-deception?"

"It's a place. ”

"Is it a village, a castle, a grange?"

"I haven't been. ”

"Far away?"

"Not close, anyway. ”

"On which side?"

"Southwest side. ”

"How?"

"This is Xilu City," said the farmer, "you go from the far to the right, the side screen to the left, past Zhuyuan, Huanglong Village, and then through the rain and through the shop." ”

The peasant raised his finger to the West:

"Keep walking in the direction of the setting sun. ”

By the time the farmer lowered her arm, she had already set off. The peasant shouted, "Beware." There's a war going on over there. ”

She didn't turn to answer and kept walking.

Forty years ago, if a traveler entered the Naban Forest from Jiangli and then walked out of the forest from the direction of Xiguang, he would encounter something gloomy on the edge of this dense forest. As he walked out of the jungle, he suddenly stood in front of him.

Not the living self-blind, but the dead self-blind, the cracked, ruined, scarred, and ruined self-self-blindness. The ruins of the building are like the ghosts of people. The scene of self-deception could not be more miserable. It was just a tall round tower, standing alone on the edge of the forest like a gangster. The round tower is built straight on a steep rock, end

It is upright and sturdy, almost in the style of the Tang Dynasty, not to mention that this behemoth embodies both power and decay. Zimeng does look a bit like the Tang Dynasty architecture, because it belongs to the Tang Dynasty style. It broke ground 200 years ago and was completed 100 years ago. The ear guards on the doors and windows indicate its age. You approach it, climb up a steep slope, see a gap, and you venture into it, and it's empty, as if you're walking inside a stone horn that stands straight up on the ground.

From top to bottom there were no diaphragms, no roofs, no ceilings, no floors, only the remains of domes and fireplaces, high and low blast holes, friezes of stone beams, and beams of several different floors, on which were the droppings of night birds;

The walls were extremely thick, fifteen feet at the bottom and twelve feet at the top, and there were cracks here and there and holes left by the former door, from which the staircase could be faintly seen in the dark part of the wall. When one goes in in the evening, one can hear the cries of owls and all kinds of nighthawks, and can see thorns, stones, and snakes and scorpions on the ground, and above his head is a black round hole at the top of the tower that looks like the mouth of a huge well

Outside are the stars. According to local customs, there are secret doors on the upper floors of the round tower, and they are like the doors of the tomb of the Ming kings, which are a boulder that can rotate, can be opened and closed, and do not leave any traces on the wall. This architectural pattern, like the pointed arch, was brought back by the Qin state. When closed, these doors are indistinguishable from the surrounding walls, so they will never be discovered.

The gap into the ruins was blown open. It was an ingenious blast. The ordinary's hat shaped poise is designed to destroy the target's main tower, and contains at least two quintals of explosives. A zigzag channel that is superior to a straight channel leads to the pharmacy. The explosion caused a collapse, thus revealing egg-sized detonating cartridges on the cracked stone. A deep crack was blown open in the wall, and it was from here that the attackers presumably rushed in. Apparently the Round Tower has gone through regular siege warfare of different eras, it is riddled with bullets, and it is not the same

Period bullet marks, because each projectile leaves its own special traces, leaving scars on the main tower, from the stone shells of cold weapons to the iron shells of the ** era.

From the gap, you can enter the former floor. On the opposite side of the gap there is a small door in the wall that leads to the basement, which is hewn into the rock and follows the base of the tower to the bottom of the hall on the first floor.

This is a military fortress that has survived a hundred years of artillery fire and wind and rain, and is still standing and playing a significant role.
