Chapter 154: The Winged Birds
As I walked, a small semicircular light spot appeared in front of me. After walking a few more steps, I could clearly see that the light spot was the exit on the first floor. After walking up the three-story-high space in the dark underground palace passage, I finally re-entered the tunnel.
When you see the first ray of light, anyone will feel relieved.
After walking through the door, the friends entered a space similar to a large room. The room was octagonal and had four doors leading to the outside.
There is also a stone Buddhist niche inside the pagoda, which used to house a Buddha statue, but now it is gone.
There is nothing to see inside, but when you come out of the four tower doors and onto the small platform surrounding the tower outside, you can see the woods and bamboo forests surrounding the white tower, which is quite beautiful.
The friends circled the tower, then entered the tower again and walked up the stone steps to the upper level.
The higher you go, the smaller the space inside the tower becomes, and because there are no guardrails on the platform outside the tower, there is only a ring of tower eaves that can only accommodate enough. The higher you go, the greater the psychological pressure of walking around in circles.
But the scenery you can see is naturally better.
After walking up to the third floor, including the base and base of the tower, the eaves of the tower where we stood were already quite high from the ground, so the girls began to feel a little timid.
The boys were okay, although they were a little confused, but they still walked around the outer wall of the tower in small steps, and then they had to pretend to be chatting and laughing, but they couldn't embarrass themselves in front of the girls.
Yang He's performance impressed the girls. Guan Tingting stood carefully beside the tower hole, holding the walls on both sides of the door with both hands, exposing her head and looking left and right: "Brother Elbow, let's compare."
"What's going on?" Zhou Zhi tried not to lower his head and look down, but looked at Rongshan Town in the distance.
Yes, this place is located at the tip of the inner corner of a 60-degree bend in the Yangtze River. You can see the riverside for thirty miles at a glance, including Rongshan Mountain opposite, Ma Street, the Hongshui Bridge on the Hongshui River, and the south of Jiachuan County.
Pass, North Gate, Liushuigou, Zaoling Bridge and Caiba can all be seen at a glance. It is indeed refreshing and refreshing.
"Brother Jiuzi, you are so close to the wall. Brother Monk is more relaxed than you." Guan Tingting asked which pot she did not open and lift: "And are your legs shaking?"
"You're talking nonsense." Zhou Zhi slowly moved against the wall: "It's by the river, and it's high up. The wind is blowing so hard that my trouser legs are moving around."
"But you walk so slowly, not as fast as Brother Passepartout."
"You said he was called Passepartout." Zhou Zhi still kept talking: "Besides, he has short legs, a small chassis and a low chassis, so he is stable in nature."
"cut!"
The tower has a total of six floors. On the top floor, the space can only accommodate everyone squeezed inside, and the outer circle can only accommodate four people. If you stand more than one, you will always feel that two people are too close to each other.
It creates a sense of tension and insecurity like "I'm fine, but if he falls he will definitely pull me up".
The boys continued to complete the circle, but Zhou Zhi was inexplicably distressed by the nervous look of Jiang Shuyi standing at the entrance, so he gave up completing the last circle and stood on the eaves of the entrance to watch the scenery for a while.
Unlike the violent and turbulent river water in summer, the river water in early winter is calm and clear. There is a channel near the White Tower, and motorized boats and tugboats come up and down from time to time.
On the opposite side of the river where there is no waterway, there are many fishing boats with black awnings scattered around. Now is the time to close the nets.
River gulls are flying low on the river, while eagles and kites are hovering above the frosty clouds.
To the east of the line of sight, a large green mountain blocks the line of sight going eastward. There is a small town in the plain below the mountain, which is Jiang Shuyi's hometown - Rongshan Town.
In the middle of the line of sight, the Yangtze River, the Hongshui River, and the Gaodong River converge. At the confluence lies a tall stone bridge, which is the Hongshui River Bridge.
To the left of the stone bridge is Majie Town. On the stone cliff facing the river below the town, there are also engraved four large official script characters that Feng Yuxiang left behind when passing through Jiachuan to raise funds for the Anti-Japanese War because of the enthusiastic donations from the gentry.
My rivers and mountains.
On the right side of the stone bridge are the Chishui River Nanguan Pier and Shipanjiao.
After passing Shipanjiao and looking upstream along the Yangtze River, you will find Jiachuan County.
Because the county seat is located on the hills beside the river, it is layered on top of each other.
It looks quite big, but you can actually walk across the city in half an hour.
Behind the county seat, there are two small hills in the distance, which are Egong Mountain. And farther to the southwest, there is a mountain that is shaped like a penholder - Anle Mountain.
"Shu Yi, have you been to Anle Mountain?"
"No, Zhou Zhi, do you want to come in first?"
"Oh." Zhou Zhi finally found the opportunity and returned to the doorway, huddled with Jiang Shuyi: "The aircraft home is at the foot of the mountain, but it's best to go there in the summer. I can touch the snails for you."
“Can snails be eaten?”
"It's delicious... Looking at Rongshan from here, it seems a little unfamiliar. Look at the pier where the boat disembarks. How can I get to the Central School?"
Jiang Shuyi's eyes narrowed beautifully again, becoming a little crooked: "Only Xinyi and you can see, I can't see clearly without glasses. Zhouzhi, you can see a forest with a long canopy."
?”
"able."
"That's the lychee forest in Tianwan below the Central School. You should be able to see a little bit of the Central School on the side, right?"
"Ha! It's true, I saw the teaching building, but it's not the side where the sparrows are nesting."
"Well, this is the back. My home is on the other side of the Central School, so I shouldn't be able to see it from here."
"Wait for me to figure out the direction... Well, it seems that you can't even see the eldest lady's wooden building here. Your house is located lower, so you can't see it..."
At this time, Zhang Lu had already circled around and returned to the doorway. When he saw Zhou Zhi and Jiang Shuyi crowded inside, he sighed: "You two are really like birds in a nest. I'll look for the doorway again."
"
After that, he passed through the other side.
Jiang Shuyi's face turned red again, she smoothed her hair to cover it up, and was about to retreat towards the door, but she saw a silly smile on Zhou Zhi's face: "Zhou Zhi, what are you doing?"
"What Passepartout just said reminded me of an ancient bird."
"What bird?"
"The name of this bird is 鹣鹣, which is combined with the word "bird" next to it. "The Classic of Mountains and Seas" says that it looks like a wild duck, but each one has only one wing and one eye."
"Ah? Then how can you fly?"
"Yes." Zhou Zhi said, "As long as you find another person of the opposite sex and get together with it, you can fly."
"Because of this characteristic of the pheasant, it has another name, called...biwing bird."
"Ah, you are evil!" Jiang Shuyi suddenly felt bad.
She was also familiar with "Song of Everlasting Sorrow", but she really didn't expect that the pheasant in Zhou Zhi's mouth was the one in Bai Juyi's poem "I wish to be a winged bird in the sky, and a twig on the ground."
