The river breeze blows, and occasionally I hear the sound of Xixi breaking, it may be a rabbit, it may be a gopher, but it is only the sound of it.

In front of the magnificent cemetery, there are two extremely small living people. One large and one small, one static and one moving, constitute an indescribable and wonderful image.

Looking north from the sight of the two, a straight Shinto road stretched to the southern foot of the incense burner mountain, wide and open, filled with a solemn momentum.

It's a pity that a lot of the bluestones on the Shinto Road have been pried away, and they are pitted, like pockmarks on the faces of smallpox patients.

The ground was full of broken tiles, dead leaves and dust, and there were obvious signs of attack, and there were few trees left to protect the tomb.

Along the way, the grass is hidden from time to time is the stump of the stone carving of the mausoleum, a huge cemetery, seemingly grand, forced to observe but revealing the incomparable depression.

"This cemetery was Tao Shu's in-laws, and his protégé Zuo Zongtang spent a year presiding over the construction, but unfortunately it suffered an impact during the special period, a large number of cultural relics were badly damaged, and Tao Shu's statues were smashed."

"From here to the north, it turned out to be a neatly arranged stone man and stone beast, which were two pairs of stone men, one pair of civil officials and military generals, one pair of stone tigers, one pair of stone sheep, and one pair of stone horses......

"The building on the right with white walls and blue tiles is Xiangtang, and in front of Xiangtang was originally the Imperial Tablet Pavilion."

"On both sides of Tao Shu's tomb are the tombs of his five wives, namely Mrs. Huang, Mrs. He, Mrs. Zhang, Mrs. Lu, and Mrs. Zhang, who gave birth to his only son......"

Chang Xian was handling a mouthful of Beijing films that were not authentic, and the voice was crunchy and crisp while walking to explain the layout of the mausoleum area to Li Dongfei, although the business was quite comprehensive.

"Good guy, you're reporting the name of the dish."

Li Dongfei sighed in admiration.

"No, didn't you move to Jianning when you were a teenager? How do you know this place so well?

Chang Xian's stomach was shy, and he smiled proudly: "My grandmother's surname is Tao, and her old man is a descendant of Tao Gong, the eighth generation." ”

"Frightened, it turns out that your old lady is also a famous queen?"

Li Dongfei joked.

Tao Gong's direct descendants are in Hui Province and Nanjing, eight generations of one hundred and fifty years have passed, and the ancestral land has left a surname.

"Brother Li, don't say that my grandma is our old lady, this is a good word, it sounds awkward, grandma!"

The grandmother in the back stretched her tone, and the tail note was raised.

The meaning of the word grandma in the Beijing dialect is quite rich.

Chang Xian and Li Dongfei glanced at each other and laughed.

The word "Taijun" was originally used to refer to the mother of feudal officials, such as She Taijun of the Yang family, Ma Taijun, the wife of Hu Yanzan, Shi Lao Taijun in the Dream of Red Mansions, and so on.

There is no such word in Japanese at all, and I don't know which bastard translator created such a bullshit name, and the person who shouted it felt like it was an honorific title for the devil, but in fact, the devil sounded inexplicable, and he didn't know what it meant.

……

"Hey, Brother Li, look here!"

A stone statue of more than two meters stands in front of Chang Xian's eyes, the statue has a solemn face, firm eyes, looking straight into the distance, wearing armor, although through the armor, you can still feel the muscles and galloping blood below.

Although the stone statue is now in the grass in despair, at a glance, the statue standing with a sword still has a kind of sword test in the world, sweeping away the barbarian spirit.

Chang Xian couldn't help but praise: "Good! ”

Li Dongfei also said: "It is indeed a good work, it should be done by a master!" ”

As soon as he finished speaking, a person next to him suddenly asked, "What's so good?" ”

The two turned their heads together, and actually saw a middle-aged man in his forties squatting outside the grass.

He was dressed sloppily, his clothes were stained everywhere, and even his face was stained a lot.

He had a cigarette in his hand and was spitting through the clouds.

It seemed that before they arrived, he was studying the statue in front of him, looking thoughtful.

Hearing the sighs of the two, he turned his head and asked.

Seeing the two of them turn their heads, he asked again: "Where is this stone carving?" ”

Li Dongfei looked at him, smiled at him and nodded, but he pulled Chang Xian and said softly: "Ignore him, go quickly." ”

Being in a different place, this person looks a little abnormal, so naturally safety comes first.

He didn't pay attention, this person also spoke Mandarin, and it seemed that he was also from a different place.

Li Dongfei pulled this time, but did not pull.

Chang Xian stared at the middle-aged man, and the two looked at each other for a moment.

"What's so good?"

Chang Xian raised his eyebrows slightly, and said with a smile: "To paraphrase Zhuge Liang's words in "Three Kingdoms", this stone statue seeks a rough outline, not a deep understanding, but it is indeed good. ”

The middle-aged man raised his eyebrows and asked again, "What's so good?" ”

Chang Xian said categorically: "Fortunately, there is a spirit hidden in the chest of the stone statue!" ”

Li Dongfei was a little stunned.

Good?

Fortunately, you have a heart in your chest?

What kind of edge is this hitting?

The middle-aged man stared at Chang Xian tightly, suddenly threw down the cigarette in his hand and stepped on it.

He strode forward, Li Dongfei saw that he was aggressive, and subconsciously stepped forward, wanting to stop him.

The middle-aged man stopped two steps in front of Chang Xian, stared at him for a while, and said in a deep voice: "Follow me!" ”

As he spoke, he turned his head away without looking back.

This person looked normal, Li Dongfei let down his guard, and said with a smile: "Let's go, go up and have a look." ”

The middle-aged man didn't go far.

Beyond the tomb of Tao Shu, in the open space at the back of the cemetery, a tent was set up, and some stones were piled up next to it.

The middle-aged man walked over, picked up a piece, turned around and handed it to Chang Xian and asked, "Which do you think is better than Weng Zhong who guards the tomb?" ”

The stone did not have the size of the military general in front of the mausoleum, only the length of the forearm, Li Dongfei leaned behind to look at it, and now it is also a portrait.

This stone statue is also carved by a military general, although it is only a foot long, it is still a semi-finished product, the upper part has been formed, and the lower part is still in the form of a stone.

But even if it's only a half-finished product, it's lifelike, and just looking at it like this, I feel that there is a general who is majestic and swept in.

Li Dongfei is a person who knows the goods, and he can't help but exclaim: "What exquisite craftsmanship!" ”

He turned his head and looked around, and saw that there were such stone statues everywhere under the roots of the trees and in the grass.

All of them are generals, and almost all of them are semi-finished products.

Li Dongfei roughly estimated that there are about more than 100 such semi-finished products, and it takes a lot of effort.

Obviously, this man had tried countless times before carving this finished product.

This kind of spirit suddenly made Li Dongfei unable to say anything.

I thought this person was normal just now, but now it still seems abnormal.

It's an idiot.

Chang Xian looked at the half-finished statue in the middle-aged man's hand, looked up after a while, pointed outside, and said, "The cemetery is good." ”

The middle-aged man stared at him for a while, then turned around and flipped out another one: "What about this?" ”
