The criticism of Xu Le unfolded in an unimaginable way from the whole country and even the whole world in an unimaginable way three days later, but he didn't know anything about it, he was shuttling through the mountains and forests at that time, and even if he knew, he might just laugh!

Xu Le may not have imagined that the historical No. 1 project he should have participated in should be in a position of being excluded, but because an unrelated article has attracted the recognition of relevant leaders, it has been highly valued.

What he couldn't have known was that in the snowy plateau, there was a beautiful woman who was innocently implicated and brutally hit because of this article, which made the trajectory of her life that should have been gorgeous become rugged and abnormal!

Xu Le walked out along the road to the Huangbaiyu Reservoir!

Ten minutes to the north from Pingyu County to the road to Jizhou Shuntian City, the first stop he thought of the four buildings of the Ming Great Wall.

Along the way, you have to go up along the stream that enters the Huangbaiyu Reservoir, and while walking, I am thinking, since there are ruins in the upper house, is there also along this river, but many times field archaeology is with a lot of accident, of course, there will be some legends and stories to corroborate, but if you rely entirely on logical reasoning, unless you have to grasp a lot of information, it is difficult!

After all, this is a science and not a philosophy, science can have a reasonable imagination, but reality still needs the support of physical objects!

Next to the Huangbaiyu Reservoir, the mountain at home does not look big, although it is not as big as the West Lake, but you can still feel a quiet beauty, the water is very deep, the sun at this time shines obliquely from the east here, a piece of golden light is very dazzling. Xu Le walked slowly up along the lake, next to the scenic spot of Shilin Gorge, he didn't want to take a look, and he didn't play in the mountains and rivers!

There are a lot of people around, riding bicycles, all looking sideways at Xu Le, this shape is too ornamental!

Wearing a straw hat, a dark sportswear, a pair of black sneakers, and a canvas backpack on his back, which is quite large, completely covering his back, and holding a Zen stick in his right hand!

What is the situation, what makes Xu Le cry and laugh even more is that there are two old ladies who respectfully salute him, and Xu Le also respectfully salutes in return, which makes people think that Xu Le is a monk, and some want to step forward to give something like a steamed bun, Xu Le hurriedly took two steps!

"Hey, today's young people, I really can't think about it, I became a monk at such a young age", and it looks a pity in the back!

After a while, it was out of the scope of the reservoir, and there was a stream upstream, which was the water source that flowed into the Huangbaiyu Reservoir from the mountains above!

Watching the flocks of swifts flying up and down, and the yellow warblers hunting, playing, and crying in the jungle, Xu Le's mood rippled for a while, it was really beautiful! It's just that the only regret is that I don't have her company, and now I think about it, I know what I missed, but many things may be missed is missed, Xu Le thought, maybe she will have a better way, I don't know what love is, maybe I miss it!

Xu Le walked for a while and saw a road sign, Flying Dragon Valley!

He heard his second grandfather say that there is a mountain called "Dog's Back Ridge" in Feilong Valley, which is the highest mountain in Pingyu County. As soon as he turned around and walked into the east side of the road in the direction of the ditch, when he was about to reach the ticket office, he directly entered a jungle, and walked up along the dense woods, no one walked in the mountains and forests at all, and the sound of the rattling Zen staff expelled some small insects, but the branches were still crawling under his feet, Xu Le took out his machete and walked while opening the road, and it didn't take much effort to reach the ridge, and then looked at the direction, and followed the ridge all the way to the east!

Without ten minutes of effort, he encountered the barbed wire fence in front, about a height of about one meter and a half, he ran a little from a few meters behind, kicked a tree in front of the barbed wire with his right foot, and took off into the air with his strength, jumped over, and landed gently, stronger than the last time on the stone slab, after all, it had to be more than three meters high!

Then he saw that there was an artificial road inside, and there were few people coming here, so he put away his machete and kept walking towards the front!

I saw the signage of Goubei Ridge, and walked a few steps in a hurry to reach Goubei Ridge. The whole canyon is very long, about ten kilometers long, and this mountain is the north side of the canyon. Standing at the highest place, marked with the words "1253 meters", feeling the breeze slowly, but the scorching sun, but without the slightest heat, Xu Le put down the Zen staff, opened his arms, facing the sun, involuntarily running Ren Pulse, boom, the blood swelled, and the blood surged up directly to the throat, almost squirted out, a salty hot current was swallowed back raw, careless, a little forgetful, he quickly put down his arms, silently suppressed the blood downward, slightly better!

"It's still not successful, my foundation is still not successful, and some things are really in a hurry"!

"Mom, Mom, look at that person standing on the highest stone, and he is not afraid of falling"?

In the distance, a child's voice was heard as a couple with a teenage boy pointing at him.

Xu Le smiled, looked north again, and the rolling mountains, that kind of majestic feeling came spontaneously, there was a howling idea but afraid of scaring the child!

Seeing that there seemed to be a stream at the bottom, he went down the path at the top of the mountain, arrived at the stream, washed his face, it was really cool, a little cold, but it was very comfortable in summer! There is no need to check the ticket again to go back, Xu Le came out of the main gate and walked towards the main road again!

Back on the main road and continue north, there are fewer and fewer cars on the road, there are fewer people, there are fewer cyclists, the top is getting higher and higher, and the bicycle is too tiring!

After about an hour and a half, he finally saw the sign of the four-seater!

Get off the main road and get on a mountain path that leads to the four platforms!

When the deputy department of Tian came home in the afternoon, he knocked on the door, and his wife saw it very fresh:

"Yo, I got off work early today! It's so rare, what's wrong"?

"It's okay, I'm just a little tired, I'll ask for a leave in advance and come back early"!

"What about Miao Miao? Come out when you are in"!

"I'm going out for a haircut, I'm coming back!"

As soon as he finished speaking, there was a knock on the door outside, and it was really Tian Miaomiao when he opened it, and he had just cut his hair, his hair hung down, and his face looked thinner! It's more youthful and beautiful, unlike the feeling of being a little old at school!

"Dad, why did you come back so early?" Miao Miao was very surprised, her father was a cadre who worked on Saturdays and Sundays!

"It's okay, come here, take a look at this magazine first"?

Sitting on the couch and drinking freshly brewed tea!

Miao Miao was a little puzzled, she won't come back just to let me read an article, take it and take a look, "Archaeology", this is the top core journal in the field of archaeology, if anyone publishes an article on it, it will be enough!

The title is very eye-catching, and it looks like a popular novel, and she feels a little funny!

When I opened the table of contents, I saw that the title of the cover was actually the first article, and the back read "Xu Le (graduate student of Kyoto Normal University)", and my heart jumped wildly, and I was a little trembling when I held the journal in my hand!

This is Xu Le's first article published independently in Archaeology! I don't have that funny feeling anymore!

She couldn't wait to turn the pages of the article, and her mother also felt very strange, so she came over and watched from the side, and corrected the article of less than 3,000 words, but let Miao Miao see Xu Le's serious attitude in the ruins and cultural memorial, and then foreshadowed the scenes in front of the case.

However, how much Miao Miao knows about Xu Le, the second half of this topic is Xu Le's, the first half must not have been written by him, Xu Le is a rigorous person, definitely not a person who is grandiose and attracts attention!

"After reading it, what do you think"?

"Dad, three o'clock, first, I'm very proud of Xu Le; Second, the first half of the topic was written by someone else; Third, there is nothing logically wrong with his assumptions, but it subverts some modern ideas and is bound to cause an uproar later. "Miao Miao said proudly!

"I don't need to be behind, just before I entered the door, someone said to me, how can I not even know the most basic knowledge in university education now? We need to strengthen the education of basic knowledge! Dad said!

"I think this Xu Le is sensationalism, just love to be in the limelight! It's a good thing that Teacher Qi didn't accept him as a student!" Mother said suddenly, Miao Miao's mother didn't know that Mr. Qi had decided to accept Xu Le as a disciple!

"Shut up"! Deputy Tian stood up and said to Miao Miao's mother!

"Xu Le, what's wrong with you? Did it cost your money or eat the food you cooked? As for what you say, the first is young people, and the second is academic discussion. Do you understand? ”

"I haven't published in Archaeology until now, and I'm an independent author because he's so professional. Only your point of view is important enough or cutting-edge and breakthrough. Otherwise, no matter how good the relationship is, it is useless, because Beijing University is not short of money and fame! ”

"And Teacher Qi said that on the 10th of next month, I am going to find a place to eat with Mr. Su in the west of Kyoto and hold a small-scale party, and the ten most powerful disciples of the two gentlemen are each, and a total of thirty people are controlled, do you know what it means? That's a mentoring banquet specially for Xu Le, do you understand? Do you know what that means? This is our youngest junior brother, the two gentlemen will no longer accept disciples in the future, even if they teach again, they will not be called disciples, do you understand what it means? In the future, it will be almost the same if he walks sideways in the historical world! ”

"Huh"? Two different sounds of surprise!

The mother and daughter looked at each other, and suddenly said "really" in unison?

"Hey, do you think I'm going to make this joke? And you guys, just seeing this article caused an uproar, but if you think about it from another aspect, what is the positive significance of it? ”

"Positive"?

"Alright, that's not something you're thinking about!"

Deputy Tian said to his daughter-in-law: "No matter what the relationship between Miao Miao and Xu Le is in the future, it will not affect Xu Le's excellence." If you can't change your heart, then the meeting of the tenth. Don't participate".

It can be seen that Deputy Tian is very angry!

"Actually, I also know that Xu Le is very good. But as soon as I think of my daughter, I still don't have a word with him, and I get angry in my heart. Tian's mother argued.

"That's Miao Miao's business, not something we should worry about, I won't tell you about it. Miao Miao, you clean up and go out with me to book a place to eat. ”

"Okay," Miao Miao replied cheerfully.

When you are walking on the road after going out. Deputy Tian told Miao Miao and asked her to inform Xu Le that she had to go to school at the latest on the fourth.

Then from the 5th to the 9th, I listened to Mr. Qi's lecture in the morning, and Mr. Su's lecture in the afternoon.

"Miao Miao, let me tell you, don't blame your mother. Some of what she said may be ugly, but it's for your own good. What else? Personally, I actually feel that Xu Le is not necessarily suitable for you."

Miao Miao didn't speak, so she kept her head down and walked with her father.

At the same time, the report work in Haizili was held as scheduled, and the Song Department of Science and Technology was reporting on the corresponding preparations for the No. 1 project in history, which mentioned an article, which was not written rigorously, but put forward a completely new ideological hypothesis, that is, Buddhism in the true sense and cannot be said to be Shakti, may have appeared in the Kyoto-gi area in five or six thousand years, which greatly exceeds the current understanding of 2,500 years.

It was already known that this matter had also received protests from some foreign affairs departments, but everyone smiled, it was interesting!

"This is a graduate student at Kyoto Normal University, what's it called?" A leader said.

"Xu Le, strictly speaking, is not a graduate student, he will be a graduate student of Su Lao in September this year, and he may also be Su Lao's closed disciple!" Song Bu said, a little pity.

"It's good, there must be such a pattern, there must be different voices, so that it is more convincing, and your team is a little old, young people, it's easy to say if you're wrong, right, proper imagination can still give people a new way of thinking"! A certain leader said with a smile.

"Understood"! Song said seriously.

The forest is dense, the path is rugged, occasionally you can hear the sound of a dog barking, it is past noon, Xu Le is also a little hungry, take out a piece of flour cake, just two mouthfuls of water, fill a little, these places are no place to eat, and now they are moving down one after another, the positive and negative government requirements, in fact, for the people, the distance is too far, more scattered, it is really troublesome to have something to do, so it is very troublesome to move to the plain village below, and it is also good from the safety and fire management of the forest!

Seeing a family on the side of the road, a fifty or sixty-year-old aunt was washing dishes, looking at Xu Le in a daze, what kind of dress is this, Xu Le smiled and asked:

"Auntie, it's not far to go up, go to the four-seater"?

"It's okay, don't look close, if you really have to walk up, it will take three hours, the main reason is that the road is too difficult to walk, and it is said that the development has not moved"!

Xu Le didn't take three hours, but it was also two hours smaller, and it was indeed not developed, especially when he started at a place of three kilometers from the four seats, there was no road at all, he was completely using it to open the way!

Finally walked up, there are four towers to watch the enemy on the top of the south mountain not far away, so it is called four platforms, the altitude is a little more than a thousand meters, although this side walks up and feels that although the mountain is steep, the top of the mountain is gentle and open, and the Great Wall is built by winding and winding.

Xu Le vaguely saw that there were two more behind the first one, but the fourth one couldn't be seen, but it was a ruined wall, and it should be a collapsed platform! To the point of viewing the enemy building, it is a brick and stone structure, with a stone foundation and a wall made of bricks. After going around in a circle, I looked up again, and it was almost slightly closed, and the length, width and height were almost about eleven or twelve meters. He found the entrance to the stone wall of the arch, and walked up step by step, up and down two floors, the lower floor is a three-arch coupon room, the wall is open with arrow windows, as a place for the soldiers defending the city to live and store food and other military supplies, and the top of the upper floor is surrounded by brick toothed battlements, as a cover for watching the enemy situation and shooting, and there are upper and lower stairs in the middle.

Standing on the top of the fort, it is already covered with grass, and there are some small trees that are not particularly tall, holding on to the wall to look north, the endless mountains, thinking of the men and horses of General Ming Qi guarding the border pass here, you can imagine why the team of the Qing Dynasty does not come from here, it is easy to defend and difficult to attack, if you want to break through, you really need to use human lives to pile up!

Follow this first observation tower, continue to the second and third, all of which are already dilapidated, and then collapse and there is nothing!

The light scattered in the west shone on these builders in the forest, and the yin and yang flashed from time to time, Xu Le took out a notebook and a pencil to sketch a simple line, and after a while, a sketch was drawn.

From the current point of view, there is no difference between inside and outside the Great Wall, but in that era, this is the difference between inside and outside, from the first line of the state to the sea in the east are the first line of resistance, our ancestors paid the price of blood and fire for the country, this is really not something that some foreign cultures can understand, which is why we have to constantly revise the reason why we are angry and strong, the core of the family culture is the process from the small self to the big me, although the family culture is dissolved into the meaning of a certain country to a certain extent, But the real core is a small family!

Many times, we have to sublimate in this environment, if the integration of the exterior is not possible.

Xu Le wrote in the notebook "Melts the heart into the feelings, melts the feelings into the environment", the mood, the mood, the situation can also be said to be the situation, the so-called education must be experienced in the situation, the situation, he sat on the bluestone slab and kept writing some ideas about the mode of literary education!

You can have dead books, but you can't read dead books!

This must be changed, and the current teaching model must not be allowed to imprison the child's nature and our truth-seeking and pragmatic spirit of exploration!

sprinkled, Xu Le wrote 2,000 words in the notebook!

He decided to continue walking forward, looking at the map, following the mountain range to the main road, and then continuing north along the main road!

After walking for more than 20 minutes, I finally saw the remnants of the beacon mound, the earthen castle and the dungeon were gone, all turned into bricks and earth, and they were planted with grass and trees. Pingyu still has resources, but it is too difficult to develop!

He walked on the top of the mountain on the road of no one, and the right hand saw the constant waving, from the slow and hard chopping to the gradual discovery of skills, some like martial arts, found the most labor-saving way, and some enjoyed it!

Suddenly a dog barking was heard in the distance, and a shout came from afar:

"Who"?

Xu Le was really shocked!

I really didn't expect that there were still people!

"Anyone"?

"What do you do"?

"Master, I'm from Huang Baiyu, I'm here to play"!

"Oh, are you lost"?

The two sides walked towards each other while asking, looking at the mountain and running a dead horse, it took about ten minutes to see people!

"Uncle, hello", Xu Le looked at it, an old man wrapped in sheepskin and shoulders, with two dogs in front of his head, the old man looked like a young man, with a straw hat, and a big stick in his hand, and a machete in the other hand!

The old man didn't hold anything else in his hand, just a sickle, glowing!

"Where are you?" The old man's tone was a little unfriendly!

"Uncle, I'm from Zhu Wa"?

"Zhu Wa's"? The old man asked rhetorically.

"Do you know Zhang Laoer"?

"I know, my second master"!

"Tell me what's going on with his family, what's wrong with the child, I haven't seen him for many years"? The old man said casually.

Xu Le understands that this is not believing in himself! You have to learn a little bit about this, how casual it is, as if you really don't know, but it leaves you speechless!

"Uncle, I shouldn't have said this, after all, it's my second grandfather, but I'll tell you if you ask!"

"Hmm", the old man nodded, and kept looking at the south, with a very resentful look in his eyes!

"My second master was a bastard when he was young, I heard of it, said that there was a girl in the north who always liked him and waited for him, but he didn't know how to be afraid that his bad would delay others, so he told people that he was married, and then there was no follow-up, and then he didn't know what he heard that the girl was gone later, so he has always been a person, and now it is, it is his nephew, that is, my Uncle Chong'an, the branch secretary of our village to support the elderly"!

"You are talking nonsense, didn't he say that he got married outside, didn't he say that his daughter-in-law died of illness"?

The old man looked disbelieving, and Xu Le was also a little puzzled, are you so excited, your voice is so loud!

"Uncle, I don't know you, am I lying to you? This is all a private matter in our village, I shouldn't have said it, but I don't know why I told you, few families know, only the closest people know"!

The old man took the sickle and looked fiercely at a tree in front of him, and cursed as he cut it:

"Dog, I said I didn't dare to see me, I didn't even come, did I have no face, ah, you didn't dare to face it at such an age"?

When Xu Le heard it, he was a little hairy, wouldn't it, I ran into the main master?

"Okay, don't go here, there's a broken wall in front of you, let's go down"! The old man didn't speak, turned his head and rubbed down a road that was not a road, Xu Le also followed, he inadvertently seemed to see tears hanging from the corners of the old man's eyes, and after a while, he was a little choked!

The old and the young didn't speak, and they had to walk for about thirty or forty minutes to see a courtyard with green smoke!

"Old man, why did you come back so early?"

"It's okay, bring someone"!

An old lady walked out of the house, and saw that the old man was followed by a young man!

"What's wrong, got lost"?

"Grandma, no, I just met grandpa, so I'll come over and sit and get saliva to drink"!

"Oh, come in and sit down for a while!"

The old lady brought two chairs and put them in the yard, the old man pointed to it, and Xu Le sat down!

Then the old lady brought Xu Le a large handful of water, and Xu Le took it and thanked him!

"Old woman, do you know who this kid is"? The old man's tone was still a little hard!

"Who"?

"This is Zhang Lao'er's grandson"!

"Zhang Lao Er"?

"That damn immortal Zhang Lao Er"!

The old man nodded, Xu Le was unhappy!

"Uncle, what you say is not good"?

"What's the matter, are you still angry? If you are angry, then who will I go to for more than 30 years of anger?"

For more than 30 years, Xu Le has not spoken, this is a grudge, a little troublesome, I can't beat people here, don't run away!

The old man stood up suddenly, walked into the inner room, listened to the sound of opening boxes and cabinets inside, and then walked out, holding two pairs of cloth shoes in his hands, and threw them to Xu Le!

"You take it, and when you go back, give it to Zhang Lao Er, let him take a good look at it himself, let him open his eyes and take a good look, and ask him if he knows him!" The old man's voice became louder and louder, and the old woman next to him actually cried!

"Okay, it's been so many years, people Zhang Lao Er has his own ideas to find a good one, our sister doesn't have that life, let's not talk about it, old man, don't be angry with your own body"!

"Find a good one, fart"!

The old man took out his cigarette pouch and pot and lit a bag of cigarettes himself! took a puff and said to Xu Le:

"You're a junior, I didn't treat you as an outsider, and I didn't look at you"

"Do you know what Zhang Lao Er calls me"?

Xu Le shook his head!

"He calls me big brother, the two of us are brothers, I, Guan Laohu is such a brother, why am I blind to find such a brother"!

Xu Le heard it, oh, there is a play, don't rush to run first!

"The girl in the north you are talking about is my sister, my own sister"!

Xu Le was stunned for a moment, it wouldn't be such a coincidence, right?

"The second child looked good when he was young, and he could speak well, I took him home, my sister fell in love at a glance, and the two of them got better, and he didn't come in a few years, and then I heard that he got married outside, my sister was angry, and I couldn't be angry, I wanted to go to her and didn't let me go, and then I left every two years, and then she sat on the hill and looked at the south, I know she was bitter, child, can you imagine?"

I don't know why, in a few words, the picture that popped up in Xu Le's mind was actually a monk in a sauce-red robe standing on the top of the snowy mountain and waiting, where is this, shouldn't it be a girl, how did a monk come out, why did this monk jump out at this time, but the look was the same, that kind of waiting, wordless waiting, he instantly thought that there was a woman waiting for him in the west?

Xu Le's tears stayed for a while, he silently stroked the two pairs of shoes, starry eyes looked at the black velvet cloth surface, touching the bottom to ensure that it was a thousand layers of bottoms, all of which were pierced by stitches, and the soles of the shoes were embroidered with two mandarin ducks!

Xu Le put two pairs of shoes in his school bag!

Everyone fell into Chen Mo!

He understands now! Why did the second grandfather say that he hadn't been to the north for a long time, I don't remember, it's faceless!

"Am I a person who is afraid of things? He doesn't say it's a son, he is, I know it's him, he's afraid that he will delay my sister, so he says it himself, why doesn't he ask my sister what he thinks, what is he running"?

The old lady gave the old man a grunt!

"My sister-in-law, hey, our aunt and sister have never quarreled, I have never seen such a good-tempered sister-in-law, child, don't be angry with your uncle, that second child is not a thing"!

Xu Le is not angry now, you should scold it, just listen to it!

"Okay, I won't say it, I know, old woman, let me tell you, until now I know, this old thing didn't marry a daughter-in-law at all, he ran away for fear of affecting us, and then came back should have heard that the little sister was gone, and felt shameless, so I said that the daughter-in-law was not there, so I didn't marry again, in fact, he has always been a single, an old bachelor, he deserves it"!

"What, what you're saying is true?" The old lady was a little unconvinced!

Xu Le nodded!

"Oh, what a wicked"! The old lady said.

"Okay, kid, when you go back, tell the second brother, just say that his eldest brother doesn't hate him anymore, just ask when to give the little sister two less pieces of paper, the eldest brother has no other ideas"!

Xu Le's eyes blurred with tears, "Grandpa, then I'll go burn two pieces of paper for grandma, can't you take me to see it"?

"Okay, if you have this heart, I'll take you to see it"!

In the ravine here, it was dark early, the sun was blocked, Xu Le held the two pieces of paper given by the old lady in his hand, and followed the old man out of the door, that is, more than 20 minutes, and saw that there were two graves, one big and one small, the big one should be the grave of the Guan family's elders, and the small one should be the grave of Guan Xiaomei.

Xu Le stepped forward, first picked up some grass around him, then held a few handfuls of soil with both hands and sprinkled it on the grave, found another stone, and then put the burning paper on the grave, and pressed the burning paper with the stone.

Then he muttered "Grandma Guan, don't worry, I will definitely let the second grandfather come to see you, you have a good journey"!

Finally, respectfully bow three times!

The old man's face looked much better, although he didn't ask what his surname was, but this style includes knowing that this matter must be a close friend of relatives, otherwise it is impossible to know about this matter, the junior has already expressed his position, then his heart is much more comfortable!

"Let's go, don't leave today, stay here at night, and leave tomorrow!"

The old man talked as he walked!
