Chapter Twenty-Three: Today Repeats Yesterday's Story (Part II)

"Phew! You're a leper dog! Speaking of this, "White Peony" sighed faintly, and I don't know what unsatisfactory things I remembered: "Alas...... I think it's weird and boring. Zhan Zhizhan, can you walk around with me and talk? ”

The beauties begged softly, and Zhan Zhizhan naturally couldn't refuse. So, Zhan Zhizhan said with a smile: "Who is Yu Keying, Yu Keying's words are holy decrees for me!" It's definitely a top 10,000 sentences, how dare you disobey. Let's walk? ”

"Oops...... When did you learn to be slippery? The "White Peony" was amused by Zhan Zhizhan and the flower branches trembled.

"Looking back and smiling, the six palaces have no color." This is a quatrain that the great poet Bai Juyi of the Tang Dynasty has in "Song of Long Hatred" to describe Yang Guifei. Although Zhan Zhizhan could only imagine Yang Guifei's peerless appearance, the smile of "White Peony" made his heart skip a beat. Zhan Zhizhan pretended to be serious, and said with round eyes: "The conscience of heaven and earth!" Yu Keying, you have to be fair, I am honest and honest, but the big guy is recognized! However, Yu Keying, you have to tell me, a solid-eyed person, what are you doing these days when you don't go home? ”

"White Peony" covered his mouth, lowered his head to avoid the sudden cold wind, and took a breath and smiled: "I have been living with the fellow in the boat yard and being a companion with her." Last night, the two of us went to Zhaolin Park to watch the ice lanterns......"

"Zhaolin Park?" Zhan Zhizhan was very envious of the "White Peony" to have the leisure to visit Zhaolin Park.

"yes, haven't you been to Zhaolin Park? If I knew you weren't home, I called you to go with me. Alas...... The people in the port are so smart and skillful. They took natural ice from the Songhua River and used simple tools such as saws, chisels, and soldering irons to create various ice sculptures with different shapes. At night, these crystal clear ice sculptures and colorful lights are cleverly combined, and wow, it's a fairytale world that makes you want to linger. "White Peony" glanced at Zhan Zhizhan and said with great interest.

Although Zhan Zhizhan had never been to Zhaolin Park, when he was making up for the knowledge of "Laba Porridge" in the school library, he had occasionally seen the information of Zhaolin Park and the Butou Ice Lantern. Built in the early 20th century, Zhaolin Park was once known as the "Red Cross Directors' Garden" and is the oldest park in the city. In the thirties, it was renamed "Daoli Park", and was later buried in the park after General Li Zhaolin was killed, and was named "Zhaolin Park" on August 15, 1946 to commemorate this anti-Japanese national hero.

What was involved in the words of "White Peony", Zhan Zhizhan happened to know. In order to make himself erudite and talented, and win the favor of beauties, Zhan Zhizhan immediately sighed: "Speaking of the ice lanterns in the port, Xiaosheng knows a little bit about it. Since ancient times, it has been said that 'the draught does not forget the man who digs the well.' 'Yu Keying, do you know who you need to thank for the ice lanterns in the port today? ”

Seeing the confused shaking of the "White Peony", Zhan Zhizhan became more and more proud: "The ice lanterns in the port can be famous all over the world today, and the one who needs to be thanked is Ren Zhongyi, who was the secretary of the provincial party committee and the first secretary of the Butou municipal party committee in the sixties. Ren Zhongyi went to Xiangfang one day to inspect the work and found an old lady on the side of the road lighting a piece of foreign wax in a hollow ice mound made of Deror. The masses are the real heroes, and we ourselves are often naΓ―ve and ridiculous. Without understanding this, one cannot acquire a minimum of knowledge. Ren Zhongyi chatted with the old lady before he knew that this was called a 'poor stick lamp'. It was the 'poor stick lamp' that inspired Ren Zhongyi! ”

"White Peony" said with great emotion: "Oh...... The ice lantern at the port still has such a beautiful story! It turned out that it was the 'poor stick lamp' that inspired Ren Zhongyi, is the 'poor stick lamp' the current ice lamp? Why is it called 'Poor Stick Lamp'? ”

The shameless question of "White Peony" is in the middle of Zhan Zhizhan's arms. He immediately shook his head and exhaled: "The ice lantern was actually invented by fishermen when they were fishing in the most primitive time. Every winter, a thick layer of ice will be formed on the Songhua River, as if the Songhua River is covered with a tight ice cover, and this time happens to be the best season for fishing. Fishermen know that if you dig a hole in the ice, it will let in light and fresh air. At this time, the fish with strong phototaxis will gather in order to breathe fresh air, and they will burrow into the nets in the ice holes and cannot escape. It would be even better if you could light a lamp in a hewn hole in the ice at night. But there weren't any windproof tools at the moment. Practice makes sense, and the clever fishermen actually made windproof lampshades out of ice. ”

"White Peony" nodded again and again and said, "The fishermen in the port are so smart! Is this windproof lampshade carved out of ice? ”

Zhan Zhizhan shook his head and said, "This kind of lampshade made of ice is not carved from natural ice. The winter in the port is cold, and even the air seems to be solidifying. The fishermen fill the feed with water, wait until there is about two centimeters of ice along the feed Rod, dig a hole in the thin ice on it, pour out the remaining water in the middle, and then roast it along the upper wall of the bucket with fire to separate the feed and the ice, and a crystal clear ice lampshade is made. When you put this ice cover on the candle, it becomes the most primitive ice lamp. This kind of earthen ice lamp is called 'poor stick lamp' by the common people. Later, some poor people made this kind of 'poor stick lantern' in front of their homes to have fun because they couldn't afford to buy lanterns but were unwilling to be lonely. Those rich people naturally disdain this kind of 'poor stick lamp'. ”

Zhan Zhizhan talked about the origin of the ice lantern in the port, and the "white peony" was suspected to be made up by Zhan Zhizhan at first. However, the origin of the ice lantern in the port mentioned by Zhan Zhizhan is very clear. If it's made up, you need more material to be edited before you can make up such a complete story. "White Peony" finally believes that what Zhan Zhizhan said is historical facts! She looked at Zhan Zhizhan with admiration on her face and said, "Zhan Zhizhan, I'm afraid many people don't know the origin of the ice lantern in Butou that you talked about, right?" You're so knowledgeable! ”

With the praise of "White Peony", Zhan Zhizhan became even more energetic, nodded triumphantly and said, "It's nothing!" Think about the past in the name of the revolution, forgetting history means betrayal! It was more than ten years ago that with the creative thinking of Ren Zhongyi and thousands of garden workers, you can see the beautiful ice lantern scenery you see today, like a fairy tale world! ”

"White Peony" said very yearningly: "Yes! Ren Zhongyi's predecessors are really amazing, leaving such an excellent intangible cultural heritage to this world! Hehe...... Zhan Zhizhan, you are so great, let me know the origin of the ice lantern! ”

"Great?" Zhan Zhizhan rolled his eyes, and secretly thought: "The skin is not thick enough, and the heart is not black enough, it is really a taboo for picking up girls!" ”

In order to make "White Peony" happy, Zhan Zhizhan stepped on the accelerator violently, making the brain like the engine of a car, reaching the highest speed in an instant. Just before he could think of how to make "White Peony" happy, "White Peony" smiled and said, "Zhan Zhizhan, I heard that your tablemate An Qi met a ghost the night before he went to the toilet the night before he came home from winter vacation?" It was said that Angel went to the toilet by herself in the middle of the night, squatting there and urinating happily, when she suddenly felt that her buttocks were scratched by something. Angel looked down and saw a terrifying white hand sticking out of the urinal, with blood-red nails on it......

Zhan Zhizhan patted his head and said, "It's not what's wrong, 'Bai Leba' was so scared that he had a fever the next day!" Teacher Liu persuaded her to raise her for a few days before leaving, but 'Bai Leba' had a pale face and didn't do anything. didn't say that she was afraid of ghosts, but insisted that she had bought it 18 times, and there was no seat if she returned the ticket. The next day, I sent her to the old station and to the carriage. ”

"White Peony" smiled and said, "Anqi's matter is really strange. But the school said that it was a big fallacy, and it was pure nonsense. There are no ghosts in the world, and mediocre people disturb themselves! He called on the students to establish a correct dialectical materialist world outlook, and not to spread or believe rumors. In order to calm the emotions of the students, Mr. Wei, the counselor of our class, also specially cited the incident that when they first entered the military training, Zheng Jae-ho and a few of them in your class pretended to be ghosts, and they wanted to scare and scare the female classmates, but they were frightened by several female classmates and embarrassed. However, no matter what the school and Teacher Wei said, those of us who didn't go home were so frightened that we didn't dare to go to the toilet at night. Otherwise, I can go to the boat yard and be the companion of my fellow countrymen. Hehe...... I said, Zhan Zhizhan, is there something wrong with your class? Why is this kind of hellish thing in your class? ”

"White Peony" teased Zhan Zhizhan a few words, and seeing that Zhan Zhizhan was embarrassed, she held her stomach and laughed wildly.

"Bai Leba" went to the toilet in the middle of the night and encountered a ghost, not to mention the female classmates, even the male classmates all had their hairs standing on end when they heard it, and they had goosebumps. Several classmates in Zhan Zhizhan's dormitory were even more frightened, and they never dared to discuss this matter.

Zhan Zhizhan smiled bitterly and said, "Lao Zheng, they are working hard, this is called self-inflicted sin and not living!" In fact, the interpretation of 'ghost' in the "Shuowen Jie Zi" is as follows: "The ghost is returned to the heavens, the flesh to the earth, the blood to the water, the veins to the ze, the sound to the thunder, the movements to the wind, the eyes to the sun and the moon, the bones to the wood, the tendons to the mountains, the teeth to the stones, the ointment to the dew, the hair to the grass, and the breath to the undead and to the netherworld." The little head of Bai Leba was thinking about these things so much that she scared herself. She also said that her grandfather was a feng shui gentleman, so she knew a little bit about feng shui when she was a child, and she had seen some supernatural things since she was a child, which was difficult to explain. She also talked to me, saying that something is wrong with your dormitory, and it belongs to a fierce place in feng shui. He also said that he once dreamed that there was an unnamed grave under the foundation of the 309 dormitory, and a tree grew from the grave, with intertwined roots, and although it had been cut down, its root system was extremely vigorous. Later, the tomb was eradicated and the building was built, and the lonely spirits and wild ghosts in the tomb came out to harm people. ”

"White Peony" was so frightened that Ji Lingling shivered and said, "Alarmist! Where is it so scary? I said, Zhan Zhizhan, don't spread rumors! I'm the only one left in our dormitory, and I didn't dare to go to the toilet, you want to scare me to death! ”

"Then you move to my bedroom, and my bedroom is also my own! My yang energy is heavy, what ghosts, evil spirits and the like dare not rely on my body! These words almost came out of Zhan Zhizhan's mouth. Zhan Zhizhan reluctantly swallowed this boring joke back into his stomach, and was about to comfort and comfort "White Peony", when suddenly, a burst of applause came from the direction of the skating rink in the distance, interrupting his interest in talking with "White Peony". When I looked up, I saw that there were many people around the skating rink, and I didn't know who was skating.
