Yellow River Craftsman

Chapter 217 The Old Man Riding the Green Bull
Later, we arrived in Xi'an.

Wang Xueyuan picked us up outside the train station. I talked to Wang Xueyuan on the phone before and asked him to help me prepare some commonly used expedition preparations such as wolf eyes, climbing ropes, whirlwind shovels, and first aid kits.

Of course I will not tell Wang Xueyuan that I am going to the Mausoleum of Qin Shihuang, otherwise he will definitely regard me as a lunatic.

Wang Xueyuan asked us what we would like to eat, and I asked him to go to Huimin Street and take Xiao Guoguo to eat steamed mutton.

Xiao Guoguo nodded in satisfaction: "You still have a little conscience!"

I remembered what happened on the train before, and couldn't help laughing: "I found that you look like a ghost, it's really interesting!"

Xiao Guoguo said: "I found that you are like a wooden stake. It's really boring. When I think of living and dying with you, I feel that life has lost its fun!"

Xiao Guoguo's appetite is really good. One person killed a bowl of mutton steamed buns, and ate a lot of kebabs, which made her belly swollen. After eating and drinking, she said three words to me: "I'm sleepy!" Already!"

I lowered my voice and said, "I don't think you should be a fox demon, but a pig demon! You are greedy for food and sleep!"

I asked Wang Xueyuan to drive us to the hotel to rest. Wang Xueyuan kindly invited us to his house, but I refused. After all, what Xiao Guoguo and I were going to do was very secret, and no third person could know.

But maybe Wang Xueyuan misunderstood me, and smiled at me ambiguously: "Understand! Understood!"

"Understood ass!" I saw Wang Xueyuan's wretched smile and knew that this guy was definitely thinking about it, so I poked his waist and eyes: "Don't think about it, she is a distant cousin of mine!"

"You don't need to explain to me, everyone is an adult! To be honest, you... ahem, your distant cousin is really beautiful, how do you say that?" Go back to '! Pay attention to your body, don't work too hard!" Wang Xueyuan patted my shoulder.

Got it!

Why are people's minds so dirty nowadays?
Isn't there pure love in this world?

Wang Xueyuan sent us to the door of a business hotel, took us a bag from the car, and waved us goodbye.

Inside the bag was the expedition equipment I asked Wang Xueyuan to help me purchase. Wang Xueyuan didn't ask me too many things. Before leaving, he only said to me "Be careful!".

I nodded: "I will!"

I opened a double room, and after entering the room, Xiao Guoguo said that she was going to take a shower and asked me not to peek.

Through the frosted glass door, I can see the reflection of Xiao Guoguo undressing inside.

For a moment I was dazed, this scene was so familiar, it was like the scene when I lived in the same room with Gu Meidi.

I fell asleep thinking about it, and when I woke up the next day, I was scolded by Xiao Guoguo, saying that I snored loudly last night, just like thunder, which made her not sleep well all night.

So Xiao Guoguo spent the whole day trying to make up for sleepiness. In her words: "We may not be able to sleep well for a few days or nights, so we must seize the time to replenish our energy!"

After getting up in the afternoon and leaving the room, Xiao Guoguo pestered her again to eat steamed mutton.

After eating the steamed buns, we hired a taxi and drove across the city to Lishan.

Located 25 kilometers east of Xi'an, Lishan Mountain is a branch of the Qinling Mountains. "Lishan Evening Photo" is known as one of the "Eight Views of Guanzhong".

One of the theories that Lishan got its name is because it looks like a black horse in the distance; the other is that it is the land of Lirong Kingdom in Shang and Zhou Dynasties.

On the way, the driver smiled and recommended to us: "If you go to Lishan Mountain, you must go to Huaqing Pool. The hot springs in Huaqing Pool are very famous, especially suitable for young couples like you. Let's take a mandarin duck bath together, and then have a look. Lishan evening photo, tsk tsk, that is really a great joy in life!"

Little couple? !

Xiao Guoguo and I turned our heads to look at each other at the same time, then shook our heads and sighed at the same time.

"Why are you sighing?" I asked Xiao Guoguo.

Xiao Guoguo rolled her eyes: "If you want me to take a bath with you, this piece of wood, I'd rather go shit (die)!"

"I don't know how to appreciate it!" I snorted coldly, don't turn my head away from looking at her, this damn girl often hurts my self-esteem, I can be regarded as a handsome guy after all, okay?No face at all, really!
When I came to the foot of Lishan Mountain, it was just as the sun was setting.

Looking from a distance, Lishan Mountain is full of pines and cypresses, and it is gloomy, like a pure green Lima, as beautiful as a beautiful brocade.

Lishan is painted with a touch of red clouds in the reflection of the setting sun, which is very beautiful and moving. The rumored "Lishan Evening Photo" really lives up to its reputation.

There is a cloud in the inscription: "Caixia competes for emerald green, green trees line up, fragrant wind rises, and sunset shines at night."

My heart is about the life and death of Gu Meidi. Although the scenery is beautiful, it is still desolate in my eyes.

Without Gu Meidi to accompany me to watch the sunset, no matter how beautiful the scenery is, what is the meaning to me?

At the beginning, the sunset on the Yellow River was enjoyed with Gu Meidi, which was spectacular and gorgeous.

Today's Lishan evening photos are equally beautiful, and in my heart, they are no different from an ordinary picture scroll.

I carried my backpack, and Xiao Guoguo and I walked towards the mountain non-stop.

The afterglow of the setting sun gave Lishan a blush heavily, the mountains are all red, and the forests are all dyed. Its enchanting and moving natural scenery makes people linger and forget to return.This situation and the scene arouse people's historical memories of King Zhou You's "Princes of the Beacon Fire Opera", just as the Qing Dynasty Zhu Jiyi said in a poem: "In the evening, the sky is red, and it is still doubtful that the beacon fire comes from the west!"

The sky is getting dark gradually, the afterglow of the setting sun is also annihilating little by little, and the tide of darkness is gushing from all directions.

I pointed to the shining light in the mountains: "There seems to be smoke in front, why don't we go to the farmhouse tonight!"

Xiao Guoguo nodded and agreed with my suggestion.

Walking to the dimly lit place, I found that this place turned out to be a small mountain village.

Among the fields, there are more than a dozen farmhouses scattered here and there.

Blue tiles and red bricks, ancient fragrance and charm, are full of strong local flavor.

Those farmhouses are hidden among the green trees, elegant and quiet, it is really like a paradise isolated from the world.

I subconsciously raised my head to look at the terrain here, and I saw mountains surrounded, like several black dragons flying in coils, and the location of this land was just above the dragon's head, which is an excellent auspicious sign in Feng Shui. The acupoint is called "dragon raises its head".All the people who recuperate and live here can be happy and healthy, and benefit future generations.

I secretly admired in my heart: "This is really a treasure land of geomantic omen!"

I took out the map and looked at it, and found that the Mausoleum of Qin Shihuang was just opposite the Fengshui Cave. That is to say, when Canglong raised his head, he just saw the Mausoleum of Qin Shihuang.

When we walked into the village, we happened to meet an old man riding a green ox, unsteadily coming out of the path.The old man is estimated to be five or sixty years old, his temples are a little gray, but his face is rosy, and he looks very energetic.He was wearing a green shirt and holding an iron flute in his hand, with a red tassel tied at the end of the iron flute, fluttering gently in the evening wind, looking a bit fairy-like.

Look at the big green bull under the old man's crotch, as strong as a tiger, with strong and powerful hooves, like four wooden stakes.The two horns on the top of the head are sharp and long, like two sharp knives piercing the sky.The two eyes are like copper bells, with a faint light shining in the dark, they are extremely domineering, and they are extraordinary at first glance, just like the mounts on which the gods ride.

I stared at the old man in front of me blankly, thinking I had run into some immortal living here in seclusion.

The old man walked up to us on a big green ox.

"Come on!" The old man called softly, and the big green cow meekly stopped.

I saw that this old man had a godlike air, so I took a step forward respectfully, cupped my hands and said: "Excuse me, senior, what is the place here?"

The red-faced old man straddled the back of the green bull and looked at us arrogantly: "This is Liu Family Village, who are you? Why did you come here?"

I had already thought of an excuse in my heart, and clasped my fists and replied: "We originally went to Lishan Mountain for a wild tour, but the scenery of Lishan Mountain is really beautiful like a picture scroll. We were greedy for the scenery and walked all the way to the mountains, but somehow got lost? Just saw this There are lights on the side, so I came here to spend the night, hoping to stay overnight, and then find the way down the mountain tomorrow!"

The red-faced old man looked at us with bulging eyes. Xiao Guoguo and I didn't look like bad guys either. After all, the combination of handsome men and beautiful women will naturally increase people's impression points.

"Go to my house for a night, I will take you down the mountain tomorrow morning!" After thinking for a while, the red-faced old man agreed to our request.He waved at us and signaled us to follow behind him.

Xiao Guoguo and I looked at each other, and the two pretended to be happy and followed behind the big green cow.

The red-faced old man raised the iron flute in his hand horizontally to his mouth, and played it on his own.

The melodious flute sound echoes in the valley, sometimes high-pitched, sometimes graceful, sometimes passionate, sometimes lingering.The sound of the flute floated melodiously out of the sky, suddenly folded lightly in the cloud, and then seemed to fall straight into the green spring, and slowly hummed until it was almost inaudible.

Although I don't know pin music, the sound of the flute is full of ancient rhymes. I don't know the content of the music. I only know that the music is very beautiful. It is as beautiful as the sun sinking on the west mountain and the moon above the top of the mountain. It is as beautiful as fairy music .As soon as the song fell, tears overflowed from the corners of my eyes for no reason.

I turned my head to look at Xiao Guoguo, only to see something glittering in Xiao Guoguo's beautiful eyes.

"Why are you crying?" I asked Xiao Guoguo.

"I don't know!" Xiao Guoguo sniffed: "I don't know why, after hearing this song, I feel sad, there is an unspeakable sadness rising from the bottom of my heart, I just feel very sad and desolate, I can't stop crying! Hey, are you crying too?"

I rubbed my eyes: "Oh, no, some sand was blown into my eyes just now!"
