Yang Chu, who hurriedly left the orphanage with a vegetable basket, couldn't help but touch the wrist that was wearing the ancient bell string while running.
When he put on the bead string just now, his chest suddenly felt warm. He felt energetic and energetic. He felt more comfortable than ever before.
"Uncle Gu's string of beads must be a treasure. I don't know what kind of material it is made of. Is it expensive? If not, I will save money to buy a string. I think wearing it will help my brain a lot when I study."
Just when Yang Chu was talking about the string of beads, Gu Dazhong, who left the orphanage and got into the car, seemed to notice something. He lifted up the beads on his wrist and took a look, and found that every bead was covered with cracks.
If the brilliance of this string of beads before was restrained and absolutely extraordinary, then the essence of the beads at this time has been completely lost, and even selling it to others for 50 cents would not look good.
"Your mother!" Seeing that Zhu Zi's energy was completely gone, Gu Dazhong couldn't help but curse. He opened the car window and stretched his head to look at the sky: "I don't believe that fate cannot be changed. Everything is destined. If there is a chance, I still want to try. If you have the ability, you can chop my entire family into powder."
After saying that, he raised his middle finger to the sky and drove away regardless of the insane looks from passers-by.
At this time, dozens of miles away from the orphanage, in the villa area halfway up the mountain where the rich people of Zhucheng gathered. Yang Xi stood in the training room in a smart outfit with beads of sweat on her forehead. At this time, she looked at a small green fish in her held hands with a smile.
The palm she held seemed like a small pond at this time, with small fish swimming around in it, and from time to time they would spit out a bubble of joy.
"I'm going to kill you. If you don't put it away quickly, you'll cry if I lose it."
Li Lan walked into the training room carrying fruit. When he saw Yang Xi playing with the small fish, he quickly walked over. With a stern look on his face, he poked Yang Xi's forehead with his finger.
"Just take it out and have a look. This little fish is so beautiful." Yang Xi stuck out her tongue. The girl's beauty was so beautiful at this moment.
However, despite a small rebuttal on his lips, the palms he held loosened his grip. The small green fish's tail swayed like a splash of water and got into the center of her eyebrows.
...
Yang Chu came to school in the morning and did not enter the classroom as usual. Instead, classes lined up in groups to assemble on the playground, and then buses came one by one, pulling all the students and teachers on and heading east of Zhucheng.
Although the overall terrain of China is high in the west and low in the east, Zhucheng is just the opposite, high in the east and low in the west. Because the Huai River bypasses the east of Zhucheng City, it is said that the Huai River in the past also carried a large amount of sediment like the Yellow River.
In order to prevent the rising riverbed from threatening local people, the government organizes farmers to clean up the sediment accumulated in the riverbed every year during the dry season.
In ancient times, transportation was inconvenient and relied entirely on manpower. It was impossible to transport sediment too far, so it accumulated on the shore. Slowly, the silt piled up higher and higher, turning into the current Mount Zhushan which is not very high but very deep. Mount Everest in Mount Zhushan is where the government engineering supervisor stood.
Of course, in addition to this relatively scientific explanation, there is also a myth and legend. In ancient times, Pearl City produced the most pearls in the country, and they were tributes that could only be used by the emperor.
One day, a little dragon was playing with a pearl in the water. The dragon ball was suddenly seized by a bully on the shore and took it for himself. Without the dragon ball, the little dragon can only lie on the shore and cannot go into the water. His life is hanging by a thread.
At this time, a kind-hearted pearl diver appeared and bought a large jar of wine for the bully. The bully fell asleep after drinking, and she stole the dragon ball and gave it back to Xiaolong.
The little dragon who found his dragon ball was resurrected with full blood, but he did not return to the river because he was grateful for the pearl diver's kindness. Instead, he continued to lie on the shore and turned his body into a long embankment to block the raging Huai River.
In order to appreciate the achievements of Xiaolong and the pearl-fishing girl, later generations named this long small mountain range Longzhu Mountain, or Zhushan for short. Mount Everest is shaped like a huge bead, which is exactly the dragon bead that the little dragon retrieved.
The origin of the story cannot be traced, and there are no relevant records. It is only passed down from generation to generation among the elderly. As for the little dragon that can transform into a mountain that is several kilometers long, it was unable to defeat a bully and was even robbed of its Dragon Balls.
And Pearl Diver, a woman who sounds very beautiful at first sight, gave a jar of wine to the bully. The bully did not bully the male and bully girl but drank directly to get herself drunk. The dragon ball was stolen by the Pearl Diver. These loopholes are naturally Negligible.
In short, the old man will tell this story when he is putting the child to sleep. If the child is naughty and won't sleep, the old man will bring the bully to scare the child, saying that if he doesn't tell the child, the bully will come back and steal his ears, nose, etc.
When the children grow up and have a family, they gradually become an old man. They would also tell this story to scare their children and grandchildren, and the story was passed down from generation to generation.
And the reason why the whole school organized students to come to Zhushan today, and even almost the entire people from Zhucheng came to Zhushan, is naturally because the Double Ninth Festival is here, and people need to climb high according to ancient rituals. Since Zhushan is the highest place in Zhucheng, it naturally became the first choice.
The Double Ninth Festival falls on the 9th day of the ninth month of the lunar calendar. Among the many lunar festivals in the past, in addition to the Spring Festival, Lantern Festival, Qingming Festival, Dragon Boat Festival and Mid-Autumn Festival. There are no holidays for other holidays.
For example, there are no holidays for the Chinese Valentine's Day, the Hungry Ghost Festival, and so on, and naturally there is no holiday for the Double Ninth Festival. Schools or companies that have the conditions will prepare some activities for such festivals. If there are no conditions, then it is time to go to work and school.
But starting from the beginning of last year, the government suddenly went crazy and took out the promotion of national culture, so all the festivals in the lunar calendar were taken out.
It is expressly stipulated that all listed festivals, from kindergartens to universities, must hold sacrifices or related celebrations in accordance with ancient rituals.
Major enterprises and companies, as well as individuals, can choose appropriately. However, in addition to the previously stipulated traditional festivals, the number of new festivals or celebrations shall not be less than three a year. In short, if there are conditions, we should do it; if there are no conditions, we should create conditions.
Even the twenty-four solar terms have to be taken out and promoted according to ancient rituals. Naturally, a big festival like September 9 cannot be missed. So the residents of Tianzhu City swarmed towards Zhushan.
Fortunately, Zhushan Mountain is not high, but it is long enough, and the mountain is wide enough despite its short height. Otherwise, 80% of the people in Zhucheng would come here and really wouldn't be able to let go.
Different from climbing in the past, the order of climbing today is very obvious. First, a group of mothers with babies in their arms went up first, then the children from kindergarten, then elementary school, middle school, high school, university... The younger ones went up the mountain first, and then went down in descending order of age.
"Chu Zi, come here." Yang Chu, who was discussing with Cheng Dafu whether the vampire would appear again two days ago, raised his head when he heard someone calling.
Seeing Gu Dazhong waving to this side not far away, he ran over with a smile on his face: "Uncle Gu, are you going to climb up and take a long view today?"
"Look at your balls. If you want to see more, it's better not to come up below." Gu Dazhong underestimated something so that Yang Chu could not hear it. He patted Yang Chu's shoulder and said, "Follow me later." Go up."
"Following you?" Yang Chu was stunned for a moment, and then asked happily: "Are Granny Tao and Bai Niu here too?"
"They're all here. They're up there." Gu Dazhong nodded.
"I'm going to see them." Yang Chu said subconsciously, but then he thought of the teacher's instructions when he came: "How about you point me to where they are, and I can just stand far away and take a look. The teacher won't let you leave the team. .”
"Yang Chu, what are you doing? How did I tell you when I came here?" As soon as he finished speaking, the teacher accompanying the team over there shouted angrily.
I don’t know why the Education Bureau is so crazy that it insists on the school organizing students to come to Zhucheng to climb. If something happens with so many people gathered together, who is responsible? So before coming here, the school leader had given a fatal order. The teacher was not optimistic and if something happened to the students in the class, there was no chance that the teacher would get out of bed and get out.
"Hello, I am Yang Chu's uncle and my name is Gu Dazhong. Yang Chu will follow me in a moment and want to go there." Gu Dazhong pointed to the main peak of Mount Zhushan with a smile and said, "I am going to tell you about this matter." I said hello to your principal and he agreed, otherwise I wouldn’t have been able to find Yang Chu so accurately.”
Yang Chu's class teacher who ran over and wanted to reprimand him was stunned for a moment and believed it.
After all, in order to ensure the safety of students, the school had indeed made careful plans before, with more than 1,000 students in more than 40 classes. How to line up to go up the mountain? If someone who doesn’t know the order comes to look for someone, it’s really hard to find someone.
At the same time, he also heard the mysterious words of the principal before leaving: "Whoever's class has an accident will be responsible, but if there are students whose parents lead the students to the main peak, the teacher leading the team cannot stop them."
"Are you really his uncle?"
"Of course it's true. He's already in his second year of high school and he's not a kindergarten kid. He can cheat him with just a candy." Gu Dazhong said with a smile.
The class teacher looked at Yang Chu, although Yang Chu didn't understand why Gu Dazhong took him away. However, he thought that Bai Niu and other children from the orphanage were also here. The orphanage was short of manpower and he could still help out, so he nodded.
"Okay, you sign." The class teacher took out a small notebook from his backpack, obviously prepared for it.
Gu Dazhong signed his name without saying anything.
The class teacher told Yang Chu to pay attention to his own safety, and hurried back to continue to monitor the team.
"Take this and put it on." Watching the teacher leave, Gu Dazhong turned around and led Yang Chu up, took out a small cloth bag from his pocket and threw it over.
Yang Chu subconsciously caught the small bag, and then said: "Uncle Gu, I have it myself."
Yang Chu shook the palm-sized bag on his waist. All the students who went to school today were empty-handed, but everyone had a small cloth bag slung around their waist, which contained a bright red fruit, which is dogwood.
Compared to the exquisite little cloth bags prepared by other students' parents, Yang Chu's was a bit shabby. He cut a piece of pipe directly from the top of his unwearable trousers, then sewed the bottom, and tied a rope on both sides of the bag to hang on his body.
However, although the materials and workmanship of the cloth bag are not good, the dogwood in Yang Chu's bag is quite satisfying and looks very festive.
"There are so many bullshit, just take it if you want. Who stipulates that you can only wear one dogwood bag on the Double Ninth Festival, but you can't wear two?" Gu Dazhong glared at Yang Chu angrily.
"Oh." Yang Chu didn't dare to refute, and quickly hung the cloth bag given by Gu Dazhong on the other side of his waist.
