Chapter 258: What Are You Doing Here Alone?

It is a large village. In addition to the Hui style architecture and dwellings that can be seen everywhere, there are many ponds here, although the water in the pond is not the kind of transparent and clear, but it is not dirty, there are a lot of moss duckweed, and lotus flowers are in full bloom.

Spring is the time when peach blossoms, cherry blossoms, and pear blossoms are in full bloom, and they are beautiful, but they only bloom for twenty days.

In other words, you will only see their flowers for twenty days in that spring. The flowering period of lotus flowers runs almost throughout the summer, and when they bloom, they bloom in the morning and close at dusk, just like people's routines.

The beauty of lotus flowers is not inferior to these kinds of flowers, and there are also many lotus poems left from ancient times to the present.

Chen Xing looked left and right. If it is a general scenic spot, there are definitely benches on the edge of this pond where tourists can sit and rest, but there is no here, this is just a village, and it is only a village.

The village is so nice. Better than the sights. Chen Xing took pictures of lotus flowers here for a while like an old mage, and wanted to take a boat on the shore to go to the center of the pond to have a look, but he couldn't row a boat, and he didn't know anyone else here, so he sighed and gave up.

It is mentioned here that this pond is not the pond with a white pagoda that Chen Xing saw on the mountain, the pond is on the edge of the village, and there is a temple in addition to the white pagoda there.

The pond over there is bigger, at least three or five times larger than the pond at the entrance of the village. The road outside only leads to this Chenjia Village, and there are no other people living inside, so there are so few people on the road.

But when you come to the village, you can see a lot of people, like most villages, there are people working in the fields outside, and some people playing in the lotus pond, which is quiet and peaceful.

It's just that as in other villages, there are fewer young people. Chen Xing has seen a lot of rural villages in southern Yunnan or Sichuan Province, and the left-behind children who stay in the village are generally wild, the girls are a little better, and the boys are basically not brightly dressed, but the children Chen Xing meets here are very clean and polite.

Wandering around, he soon came across a primary school called Chenjiacun Primary School. It looks like a village-run primary school, but the decoration inside is very good, although it does not meet the standards of big cities, and the area is small.

But the people are very good-looking, and when you look at it from the door, the houses inside are the same as the decoration style of the village houses.

Walking further, Chen Xing also saw a Chen Academy. This academy should belong to the ancient building, right?

Chen Xing didn't notice that the building was guarded, so he stepped inside. Before entering the house, you can only see the ancient wooden door and white fence outside, and when you enter, you can see a huge, empty courtyard, and under the huge hard gabled roof stand a dozen huge columns, these pillars are painted with that kind of black, but it is not pure black paint, very magnificent.

There are three table tennis tables in the corner, where some children are playing. Chen Xing doesn't know much about ancient buildings, but he has a little more knowledge than some ordinary people.

This academy is regarded as a courtyard of Sanjin, which belongs to a relatively new traditional ancestral hall-style building, looking at the lacquer on the pillars and the exquisite wood carvings on the beams, Chen Xing knows that this is not a real ancient building, but after renovation.

But that's also an ancient building, Chen Xing thought to himself. It's much better than refurbishing it and making it old again, taking off your pants and farting.

The wood carving is also rare and exquisite, and the Miao village also likes to carve things on the door frame, Chen Xing has always liked it, and he also thinks it is very powerful.

But only when I arrived here did I know what is called the art of Han culture and the craftsmanship of old craftsmen. Even the roof is not simple, the wood withered koi has been colored, and it comes alive on the roof.

With the mouth open, looking at the position should spit out rainwater, both in terms of design and meaning, it looks exquisite and appropriate.

There are also houses inside, and there is no one to guard them. Walking in, you will see long tables and chairs, and a modern blackboard in front of it, which is the only thing in this room that has a modern atmosphere, but it is not obtrusive, and in the impression of their generation, the classroom is only abrupt when there is no blackboard.

On the walls are calligraphy on rice paper, some of which are well written and some of which are poor, but there is no doubt that they are better than Chen Xing's handwriting.

In ancient times, this was either a government-run academy or a private school, right? Chen Xing has always wanted to study in this kind of private school, not pursuing a diploma, but only learning his own cultivation and cultivating the temperament of a literati...... But he belongs to martial arts, and the real situation is that Chen Xing has never seen a private school anywhere.

It has long been outlawed by modern schools.

"The handwriting is so good......" Chen Xing was very envious. The more traditional the school, the more emphasis is placed on calligraphy.

It has been many years since Chen Xing's grandfather died, but Chen Xing was deeply impressed by the calligraphy he wrote. Although it is only a beginner in Chinese, his grandfather's family was relatively wealthy when he was young, and he had studied private school, and he was absolutely good at writing with a brush, and he could write words as small as a fountain pen, and the pen was flowing and handsome.

It's a pity that grandpa left early, and Chen Xing didn't learn more from him.

"What are you doing here alone?" As soon as the voice came out, Chen Xing was startled. When I looked back, I realized that it was two children, an older little Lori with a little boy younger than her, who probably came here to play.

After all, there is a lot of open space under the main hall, which is equal to the square for children. Chen Xing breathed a sigh of relief.

"I'm ......" a voice came from outside the door: "I'm looking for you!" ”

"Hide!" The two sisters and brothers were in a panic trying to find a place to hide, and finally saw that Chen Xing was still standing there, so they hurriedly went over and pulled Chen Xing under a table to hide...... But to be honest, it's really conspicuous, this kind of child's seat can block Chen Xing's body of more than one meter and eight?

But no one noticed this problem, and neither did Chen Xing. The three of them hid in this small place, staring wide-eyed.

My sister asked in a very small voice, "Brother, are you a tourist?" ”

"Yes." The little boy said, "What do we have to do here, why do tourists come here, isn't it fun in the city?" ”

"It's not fun." Chen Xing said. What's fun in the city, yes, there are many ways to entertain in the city, and there are even people who change their ways to entertain you, but that kind of oppressive life is never what people who yearn for freedom are pursuing.

After living in the city for a long time, anyone will have the idea of returning to the countryside to live a small life. Of course, the rich say otherwise.

It's really fun to be in the city when you have money.

"Are you coming alone?"

"That's right."

"It's pathetic!"

"......" Their chat was basically a child's curious inquiry, Chen Xing replied, he really couldn't think of any topic to communicate with a child.

It wasn't something he was good at, but things quickly took a turn for the better. They've been caught! Hide and seek, as soon as the 'ghost' kid came in, he saw Chen Xing, and seeing that he was hiding, he subconsciously said: "I caught you!" Then the little girl and the little child stood up together.

"You're amazing!"

"Who did you catch first?"

"Huh?" The little child looked at Chen Xing, and then at the two sisters and brothers...... How can there be two more?

Also, who is this adult? He pointed at Chen Xing with his finger and signaled to catch Chen Xing first, he was very honest, although Chen Xing didn't play with them, but it was definitely right that he caught Chen Xing who was hiding as soon as he came in.

The little girl took Chen Xing's hand and said, "You are alone, do you want to play with us?" ”

"Shall I forget it?"

......As a twenty-year-old adult, at least seven or eight years older than them, there should be no interest in this childish activity, because adults should look like adults...... But why do you suddenly want to play?

"How to play?" Chen Xing asked. So Chen Xing and a group of children played games here for half an hour.

Chen Xing is very happy, really. Being happy is not the same as being happy, and he was also happy that night with Zhou Tong, but it was the happiness of an adult.

Today is a fun time with children, and you don't need to use your brain at all. After all, if you use your brains, these children won't have to play.

But this joy until......

"Hahahaha!" The voice was a little familiar, and I was stunned when I looked at it. It's Chen Fuyong's girlfriend, whose name is very similar to her personality, and she is a relatively quiet person.

Chen Xing was about to hide, he was already very familiar with this academy now, this time he wanted to go to the place where the books were put to sit and read the books, and he was caught when he was caught, he felt that finding talents was the most fun.

But what now? He felt two crows fly over his head. It's embarrassing.

"You can also come out for a walk...... Chen Xing said.

"Hmm." Chen Fuyong came back with other things, and she couldn't take Jing Jing around for the time being, but she was very interested in this village, so she decided to come out for a walk.

After all, as Chen Fuyong's girlfriend, he felt very uncomfortable staying in their house. I thought it was very beautiful when I saw this academy, and I saw Chen Xing as soon as I came in.

The kid who grabbed people walked over here, and when he saw that Chen Xing didn't hide, he wondered, but when he found that a big sister was coming, he knew that Chen Xing was probably something, so he asked, "Brother Xing, are you still playing?" ”

"Let's play......" was a group of children before, so it's good to get acquainted with it. Even though he doesn't have much contact with children, his passivity is still there, and he is quickly accepted into their small group.

It's another thing to have other adults now. Quiet and smiling, the corners of his mouth turned up.

"Looks like you like children."

"No, no, no, I'm the most annoying child." Chen Xing said truthfully.

"It doesn't look like it......" She wasn't really quiet, but she was very nervous on the way here, I didn't know what kind of person Chen Fuyong's mother and father were, but now people have seen it, and they also found that Chen Fuyong's hometown is not as dirty and messy as other rural areas, and she is very satisfied with it.

And Chen Xing's appearance just now was so happy, and this happiness was transmitted to himself. Indeed, she really didn't mean to laugh at Chen Xing, but she was really inexplicably happy when she saw this harmonious picture, so she laughed.

Chen Xing went to the corner and took his backpack and said, "Really, I was just invited by them just now, the atmosphere is in place, it's not easy to refuse, you should understand, what about your boyfriend?" ”

"He's still at home." Chen Xing was about to leave, he also wanted to go to the back of the village to see the white tower, and when he said goodbye to the children, the children also looked at each other, and one of them said: "We don't play anymore, where are you going, we will take you there." ”

"Yes, yes!"

"We can find it everywhere in the village, let's take you there, do you want to come and see our ancestral hall."

"The ancestral hall is the most magnificent!"

"There's still something delicious in there!" Everyone talked about where to take Chen Xing to play, and then pulled Chen Xing forward, completely ignoring Chen Xing's expression of being forced to open for business.

Someone else was asking Quiet if she wanted to go with her, and Quiet shook her head. If she was seen walking with Chen Xing, it wouldn't be good to spread it here.

The layout of this village is different from the layout of a street that Chen Xing saw, and Chen Xing doesn't know where he has been.

But the scenery along the way made him like it very much, these scenery is not mountains, rivers, lakes and seas, but the decoration of ancient buildings.

This village has been inherited for many years, I don't know if there are any Song Dynasty buildings, but there are many buildings in the Ming and Qing dynasties, and they are all unique in style.

The exquisite wood carvings are undoubtedly the most attractive, and there are many treasures among them. These wooden carvings are distributed in various parts of the village, beams, arches, roofs, walls...... The content is mostly the story of the characters, flowers, birds, fish and insects and a lot of exquisite lines, etc., the shape is very beautiful, among which the characters have the style of domestic cartoons in the early years, lifelike, and the folds of the clothes can be clearly seen.

These pictures of flowers, insects, birds and beasts that contain meanings reflect the hobbies and pursuits of the people in the village.

Chen Xing has now understood that this is not an ordinary village with the same surname, it is estimated that it is a big clan with a heritage, because only a big clan has such a cohesion, and this cohesion is the bond of family prosperity and prosperity.

It's time for the ancestral hall. But the ancestral hall is different from the school, it is manned, it is an old man in his sixties, and when he saw the child pulling a living person over, he hurriedly came out of the house and asked, "Little ghosts, what are you going to do?" ”

"Let's take a look!" I don't know if Chen Xing gave them confidence, this sentence is reasonable.

"Yes, we'll take visitors over to see it!"

"Brother Chen Xing's surname is also Chen, let's take him over to have a look!" The old man rolled up his sleeves to scare the children, and said, "Can you look at the family ancestral hall casually?" I think it's because you have a big temper and don't know the rules, so let me in, and I'll call your dad and ask them to come over and teach you a lesson! As he walked over, the children scattered in a hurry, leaving only Chen Xing standing here.

He can't run, can he? He just feels that it is more relaxed to be with children, and he is not really a child, and adults naturally have the way of getting along with adults.

The old man and the others drove away the children, and then looked at Chen Xing, and his expression was not pretending to be vicious, but he was just curious.

"You want to see our ancestral hall?"

"No, I just wanted to go and see the White Tower over there, but they pulled it over." The old man smiled and said, "It seems that the child likes you very much, come in, anyway, your surname is Chen, it's no problem to come in and see, I'm just afraid that they will sabotage." "There is a plaque on the ancestral hall, which reads in large gold lacquer letters: [Chengxu Hall]
