Chapter 54: Beautiful Memory

Jiangzhou Zhishan;

Zhuang's compound is located in this Zhizhi Mountain;

The river that flows through it and the Ichi Mountains are a small stream that has no name on the map, and the locals call it the White Crane Creek, because there are always many white cranes migrating here during the season;

At the confluence of the river and the White Crane Creek, there is a large bamboo forest according to the water, tear bamboo, palm bamboo, purple bamboo, southern bamboo, water bamboo, the unknown one that can be called famous, anyway, the whole mountain is a bamboo forest;

The last time Zhuang Feng was seriously injured, he hid here to recuperate for a whole winter, when the bamboo forest had been burned down in the fire a few years earlier, and the new bamboo forest had not yet become a forest;

In the torrential rain, Zhuang Feng and Tang Guiyi watched the bamboo forest that was originally destroyed by the fire grow into a forest again, which was not much different from before, at least it looked like that;

Originally, there was a garden hidden in this bamboo forest, that is, the old house of the Zhuang family, but now it is no longer there, and it was burned down in a fire a few years ago;

It is conceivable that a compound with a wooden structure is built in this large bamboo forest, and if a fire is ignited, the consequences will be very serious, anyway, the local villagers are rumored to have burned for four days and nights before extinguishing, and the whole mountain is gone;

Zhuang Feng Tang Guiyi looked at the regrown bamboo forest in the rainstorm, and had to sigh at the magic of creation, and also sighed that he had been in a worryless time;

Zhuang Feng Tang Guiyi walked into the bamboo forest, perhaps because of the fire or the passage of time, there was not even a single ruin in the bamboo forest, as if everything was just their imagination;

That's not a conjecture, although they can't even find a ruined wall, but Zhuang Feng and Tang Guiyi still confirm the laughter of the past with their memories;

From the place where the river goes up and the Baihe Creek, there is a garden built here according to the mountain and the stream, the famous Spotted Bamboo Garden, a soft combination of the delicacy of the Jiangnan garden and the thick and unique style of the northern courtyard, majestic and elegant;

If you look at it from the river, you can only vaguely see the courtyard wall full of vines between the bamboo forest gaps, and you can see the whole picture clearly when you stand on the top of the mountain and look at it.

The middle part is a piece of the courtyard that is just in line, according to the trend of the mountains and rivers, there is a piece of courtyard to connect with Langfang, as if the mountain range is naturally self-generated, if in the season of the dense fog lock the river, it is more like the fairy cave in the distance, mysterious and refreshing;

Every time Zhuang Feng Tang Guiyi or other people who returned from going out, they would have a feeling of returning home when they watched from a distance on the boat, as if this was where they belonged;

"At that time, I felt that this bamboo forest was so big, and every time I ran out to play, the most annoying thing was to walk through such a large bamboo forest;" Zhuang Feng and Tang Guiyi walked in the bamboo forest, Zhuang Feng said loudly;

"That time you were caught in a clump of bamboo, and you couldn't get out, so you still found the old man to get it, so we were all beaten up by the old man;" Tang Guiyi listened to Zhuang Feng's words and said naturally;

"Then you don't have to go this way, or I'll be squeezed into the middle of the bamboo?" Zhuang Feng listened to the past and said there;

The bamboo forest actually grows in clusters, and many bamboos grow from a bamboo shoot, and it is natural that there will be a cluster of bamboos that grow a little densely;

It's just that the young Zhuang Feng and Tang Guiyi at that time will go out to play in order to sneak away, so they will be stuck in the bamboo bushes;

"It's you who are stupid;" Tang Guiyi replied unceremoniously;

"It's obvious that you're the one who doesn't care about me;" Zhuang Feng argued a little unconvinced;

"Haha......" Tang Guiyi listened to Zhuang Feng's argument and laughed happily with there;

Zhuang Feng also smiled happily, maybe he was always happy when he was a teenager, or he always liked to miss the happiness of the past;

Disembark and land along the riverbank wharf, follow the beach into the bamboo forest, and follow a bluestone road to the front of the garden;

The three-open gate of vermilion lacquer is quite a cheesy stone lion, and the gate of Banzhuyuan is always open, unlike the three-open gate of other courtyards, which only open the side doors on both sides;

Through the gate you can see a shadow wall, generally enter the door of this shadow wall is mostly carved with bats, and this spotted bamboo garden carved is a swallow, but it is not very different from the usual swallow, it seems to be a phoenix and like a bird;

Bypassing the shadow wall, you can see the courtyard of Yijintang, which is very common in the northern courtyard of Jinguo, but there are two more yellow cypress trees unique to the southwest;

When they were children, Zhuang Feng and Tang Guiyi used to like to play in the yellow cypress tree, each occupied a tree, chatted with the young man, said the words of the young man, and was a little naïve to imagine the future, and also had the promise of the young man;

"Do you remember our agreement?" Zhuang Feng and Tang Guiyi walked to a certain clearing in the bamboo forest, where Zhuang Feng said;

"Forever brothers;" Tang Guiyi knew that this place was where the two yellow cypress trees used to be, and he also remembered the words of the past;

"Always brothers;" Zhuang Feng also followed Tang Guiyi's words, and said seriously;

There is a vertical door along the left side of Langfang, the two words of heroic and martial arts; this heroic martial arts is the place where this bamboo garden comes into play, two rows of neat weapon racks, as the saying goes, there are all kinds of weapons; not only that, but also the ancient weapons in the culture of the West;

The young Zhuang Feng and Tang Guiyi and other others are here to practice martial arts to boil up the bones, the young mind, at that time, the practice of martial arts to boil the bones is far happier than sitting in the study of literature, always do not know what is tired, some just laugh;

"How is it, are you interested in two moves?" Tang Guiyi said aloud when he saw that there was nothing, only memory;

"Bullying the small with the big is not martial;" Zhuang Feng replied boredly;

"If you make a mistake, you have to admit it, and if you are beaten, you must stand upright; if you can't do martial arts, don't make excuses;" Tang Guiyi taunted there;

"I'm an adult, so I don't care about you;" Zhuang Feng said disdainfully;

Zhuang Feng belonged to the people who did not have much talent for martial arts, and was always the weakest of the brothers and sisters at that time;

Listening to Zhuang Feng's words, Tang Guiyi naturally thought about the beautiful memory of the young man, and laughed there, Zhuang Feng also smiled;

Exit the vertical door along the Langfang or through the Wuying corridor can also pass, you can reach the second hall; the second hall is usually used for hospitality, a landscape painting on the lobby is quite famous in the history of the Tang Dynasty mountains and rivers, the decoration is simple, two rows of Nanmu seats, porcelain, word couplets, it seems that there are few visits in ordinary times;

Then along the left side of Langfang another garden gate, engraved with the word evergreen; enter the garden you can see all kinds of bamboo, it seems that this is not a courtyard but a natural growth of bamboo forest, evergreen will take the meaning of this bamboo evergreen, and the utensils here are also made of bamboo, the hall has a liberal arts, this is the living place of the students in this garden;

Bamboo tables and bamboo chairs accompanied by the wind, green bamboo rustling, Xiao Zheng low, it is really an elegant place; this Evergreen Garden Boya Hall only enters this door, Langfang is not connected with other courtyards, in order to purify the heart;

The three halls are the academy, and the owner of this bamboo garden is also a gentleman who teaches his disciples the subset of scriptures and history, the hundred schools of thought, the piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and the six arts;

In terms of the nature of a teenager, the study of literature is always painful, but with the growth of experience, the pain of a teenager is actually sweet;

"The eldest brother's zheng, the second sister's qin, the third brother's qin, the fourth brother's Xun, the sixth brother's flute, the seventh brother's flute, the eight sheng, nine and thirteen se;

Tang Guiyi listened to Zhuang Feng's familiar words, and he was quite emotional for a while; when they were young, they had their own hobbies for music and rhythm; maybe this is also the sadness of the children of the family, they play with things that are not painful;

"I didn't bring a flute;" Tang Guiyi also remembered the young man's preferences, and said there;

"Do you know how to give a?" Zhuang Feng said as he imitated a line from a movie he saw;

"Get out;" Tang Guiyi has also seen it, and he also knows what this means, and it is a word that is unceremoniously there;

Zhuang Feng smiled happily, really happy;

There is a small stream through the vertical gate on the right, and the horse farm is crossed by the bridge, which is also where Zhuang Feng and Tang Guiyi used to be happy;

Along the Langfang and left to the back hall, the left compartment into the Tibetan classics, ancient and modern Chinese and foreign rare books, calligraphy and painting antiques, into which people have the illusion of traveling through time and space;

The right compartment into the Dian Ge, the collection of some ancient weapons, and even stone tools; as Zhuang Feng Tang Guiyi and they gradually grew up, they also had to sigh at the abundance of this collection, and they no longer wanted to leave if they wanted to come here;

It's a pity that there was a big fire and nothing left;

After passing through this back hall, you will come to the back garden, the back garden book and grass garden, where the old man lives;

Draw the stream water into and then turn back and out, it forms an arc-shaped inlet; there is a rockery by the water, it is said that it is a rockery and in fact this inlet is naturally formed, the garden is built in the garden with the trend and this inlet is built; because the old man loves orchids, the attic in this garden is named the grass garden, the owner calls himself the lazy man in the grass garden, the whole garden is full of orchids, the well-known and the unknown, spread all over the garden, the orchid is not in bloom and the grass is not obviously different, an old man relies on it, just like a lazy man does not take care of the barren land, the melancholy orchid, also flowers and grass, this grass garden lazy person does have its taste;

remembered that he was young and ignorant at that time, Zhuang Feng and Tang Guiyi were ruthless and had spoiled these bluegrasses, and naturally they were not beaten less;

"You said that we will replant the bluegrass, will the old man be happy in the spirit of heaven?" Zhuang Feng said with a little heaviness;

"Will it?" Tang Guiyi was not sure, remembering the old man's love for bluegrass;

"Then forget it, so as not to be beaten by the old man again;" Zhuang Feng thought about it and said there;

"Hmm;" Tang Guiyi squeaked in agreement;

Along the stream down, to the original right side of Langfang into the plum stream; once there was a plum tree here, it is said to be a thousand years of ancient plum, this garden is built because of this plum, in fact, to know whether this is a thousand years of ancient plum, cut down at a glance, but no one can bear to hurt this beautiful scenery; the plum forest winds to the side of the stream, there is a piece of attic named snow, every winter here is ten miles of plum blossom fragrant snow sea, green bamboo and proud plum form the most beautiful scenery in this winter;

This is where Zhuang Feng and Tang Guiyi and their sisters live, Zhuang Feng looked at the bamboo forest growing here, where he was silent;

Looking at Zhuang Feng's silence, Tang Guiyi also chose to be silent;

In the madness of Zhuang Feng in those years, many bad consequences were caused, and many people died;

Zhuang Feng remembered something, it seemed a little heavy, and so did Tang Guiyi, the two didn't say anything, just stood quietly, and walked away silently after a long time;

Also back to Langfang, Langfang seems to lead into the second of victory, the narrow Langfang can't see what is ahead, but can't help but wonder what kind of scenery will be through this section of Langfang, with curiosity to lead the corridor in;

The chrysanthemum forest is quite similar to the orchid grass, the difference is that this garden is not the orchid grass, but the chrysanthemum; along the stream upward, the two sides of the creek seem to be wild chrysanthemums, and there are some unknown small flowers, to the shore is the artificial chrysanthemum that is scattered; along the flowers to pick up the wooden steps and go up to the attic, the bottom of the attic is a few wooden stakes driven into the flowing water and support, the attic book has half summer, I think it is half a summer, the chrysanthemum here begins to bloom and gets the name;

This is the residence of Zhuang Feng alone, and Zhuang Feng, as the designated heir, has a separate courtyard that no one else has;

There are also memories that belong to Zhuang Feng here, in addition to the memories of his brothers with Tang Guiyi, there are also memories of his wife;

Tang Guiyi looked at Zhuang Feng's gloomy face, and couldn't tell whether it was a rainstorm or tears, so he didn't make a sound, just stood there;

You can reach the other side of the stream by following the covered bridge in the attic, but this once thing no longer exists, and there is no way to cross the stream during this rainstorm;

Zhuang Feng Tang Guiyi turned back to the bamboo forest, went around a big circle, and arrived at the other side of Baihe Creek; this side is also a bamboo forest, along the bamboo forest there is a peach forest, through the peach forest along the stone steps up, to the top of the mountain to look at the bamboo forest;

A few years ago, in the spring season, the bamboo garden was burned, some people say that the spring thunder struck the yellow cypress tree, and then caused a fire, and some people say that someone deliberately set fire, but in any case, the bamboo garden was indeed engulfed by a fire;

The fire of laughter stained the sky red, burning the clouds, and even the unknown river was set ablaze, as if it were going to burn all the sins of this earthly world;

At last tired, the sky returned to blue, the clouds were terribly pale, and the water flowed slowly, as if all its strength had been exhausted;

Shangyuan, Wenyuan, Yingwutang, Dianwenxuan, Diange Pavilion, Orchid Garden, Evergreen Boya, Meixi Weeping Snow, Chrysanthemum Forest Banxia, all of them are in the ruins, only a little ruins remain, as if reluctant, maybe unwilling, or who knows;

Time has reached the season of heavy rains, the river bursts, and the water unstoppably submerges the ruins of the bamboo garden, washing away the last traces, as if it never appeared; humanity is ruthless, a fire, a flood, after that, what is left?

The Zhuang wind disappeared, the spotted bamboo garden burned down, disappeared in the vast mountains, and disappeared into the dust;

Ten years later, Zhuang Feng returned to this old mansion that no longer existed, watching the new bamboo forest and the verdant rebirth;

The old man's mausoleum was originally in the peach forest on the top of the mountain, and later the fire burned down, and Zhuang Feng came back to tidy it up;

"Old man, do you miss me, if you think about it, make a dream, and come to you in a few years;" Zhuang Feng stood in front of the old man's tomb and said there, but it didn't seem so heavy;

In Zhuang Feng's memory, the old man Zhuang is not a stubborn old man with a straight face all day long, many times the old man Zhuang is more like an old naughty boy;

Under the condition that Zhuang Feng and Tang Guiyi don't make mistakes, Zhuang is very easy to get along with; of course, in the case of Zhuang Feng and Tang Guiyi, when these juniors make mistakes, it doesn't look like an elderly person at all;

"I think there must be a desire to see me lose my family business, and to hang me up and beat me up again;" Zhuang Feng said to himself, a little unsure whether it was a rainstorm or something else on his face;

"Didn't you say that you would rather raise a loser than support a real child? I lost my family business, and now I have decided to earn it back, the first one has been earned, and Jiangzhou is back in my hands, how about it, I can do it, it only took more than three months to earn back Jiangzhou;" Zhuang Feng said as if no one was around, as if he had talked to the old man like he had done;

"By the way, the seventh is also back;" Zhuang Feng paused, as if he remembered something;

"Old man, do you miss me?" In response to Zhuang Feng's words, Tang Guiyi also said beside him, paused for a moment, and then continued: "I shouldn't have thought about it, your old man's most eccentric person is Lao Seventeen, how can he think of us?"

"That's natural, you are so disobedient one by one, the old man naturally loves me the most;" Zhuang Feng continued there;

"Look, Lao Seventeen is still that virtuous, not to mention taking advantage of the cheap and selling obediently, he will also beat a rake;" Tang Guiyi seemed to be a little indignant and said;

In front of the tomb of the old man of the Zhuang family, where Zhuang Feng and Tang Guiyi talked about some things in the past and about the present, it seemed that as before, the two juniors chatted with the old man;

"Old man, let's go, I'll come back to see you when I have time;" I don't know how long it took to say it, Zhuang Feng stopped his thoughts and said earnestly there;

"Bring the others back next time;" Tang Guiyi also said seriously there, as solemnly as if he had made a promise to the old man;

Zhuang Feng looked at Tang Guiyi, but didn't say anything more, just habitually put his hand on Tang Guiyi's shoulder and left with Tang Guiyi;

"There's a shack over there, and I spent the winter in it when I was seriously injured a few years ago;" Zhuang Feng put his arm on Tang Guiyi's shoulders and said as he walked;

Tang Guiyi listened to Zhuang Feng's words, and was stunned for a moment;

Listening to Zhuang Feng's words, Tang Guiyi didn't know about it when he came back to Wodong with a serious injury a few years ago, but he felt some pain from Zhuang Feng's seemingly ordinary words;

Zhuang Feng has always been a strong person, or Zhuang Feng is a dead temper, he likes to carry everything in life;

is such a person, he would actually choose to hide back in the old mansion Wodong, how seriously Zhuang Feng's injury was;

So severe that you can't even walk outside, and you need to come back to nest;

"It's not a big deal, it's just that I'm tired outside and want to be quiet;" Zhuang Feng looked at Tang Guiyi's appearance of not speaking, and probably knew what he was thinking, and then said something again;

Tang Guiyi still didn't speak, just followed Zhuang Feng;

It was quite difficult to travel in the rainstorm, and then to this barren mountain and wilderness, and I don't know how long it took, Zhuang Feng took Tang Guiyi to the edge of a grass shed that had been crossed;

"Stepped over;" Zhuang Feng looked at the remnants that had already crossed over the grass hut, and said with some regret;

Tang Guiyi looked at the remnants of the broken grass shed, and became more and more silent there;

Although Tang Guiyi only saw the remnants of a grass shed, he could feel how desperate Zhuang Feng was at that time;

Zhuang Feng seems to be a strong person, but Tang Guiyi knows that Zhuang Feng always seems to be running away from something;

Perhaps, Zhuang Feng was given high hopes by the old man, but Zhuang Feng was actually not so firm, and he always liked to escape when he encountered trouble, although Zhuang Feng did not escape the responsibility he should bear when he should face it;

Tang Guiyi didn't know what happened to Zhuang Feng, so he would let Zhuang Feng escape to the ruins of this old mansion;

Judging from the remnants of the grass hut in front of him, it is just a temporary simple grass hut that the mountain people set up to guard the crops outside, or it is the same grass hut as it was;

Since Zhuang Feng said that he was seriously injured and came back to Wodong, then Zhuang Feng and Ben did not have the ability to build such a grass hut;

Tang Guiyi didn't dare to imagine that in that cold winter season, Zhuang Feng was here with injuries in such a windy grass hut;

What kind of person can make Zhuang Feng so badly injured? Especially let Zhuang Feng escape here; Tang Guiyi didn't dare to imagine how difficult Zhuang Feng was that winter, so he just forced himself not to think about it, and to think about other things differently;

Zhuang Feng didn't pay attention to what Tang Guiyi was thinking with standing there, but where he was tidying up the broken grass shed that had been stepped over, trying to find a place that could barely shelter from the rain, because Zhuang Feng's addiction to cigarettes came up;

"What do you want? so engrossed?" Zhuang Feng said easily to the place that made a kennel that was barely big enough for two people to squeeze to cover the rain, and looked at Tang Guiyi, who was still standing still;

"Who moved it?" Tang Guiyi came back to his senses and asked out loud;

"People we can't afford to mess with now;" Zhuang Feng naturally knew what Tang Guiyi was asking, wasn't it the seriously injured person Zhuang Feng just said?

Zhuang Feng said calmly, and at the same time took out the cigarette that Tang Guiyi brought for Zhuang Feng and took it out and lit it, took a deep breath of enjoyment, and continued: "I also have to go back and buy a waterproof cigarette case, otherwise the cigarette will be all wet when it rains;"

Tang Guiyi looked at Zhuang Feng and opened the topic, with a look of deep understanding, and couldn't help but attack Zhuang Feng directly;
