He didn't take out his mobile phone to look at the navigation. He didn't know how far the village was from the highway, but Chen Xing was sure that this road must lead to the village. Otherwise, why would there be such a bus stop at the T-intersection? ?
But Chen Xing has really been gone for a long time. Chen Xing walks steadily and quickly. With the help of his skills, Chen Xing's walking ability is unparalleled by few, but the sun is really vicious.
This year the temperature is high in most parts of the south. I heard that Poyang Lake has dried up and is covered with grass. Chen Xing will definitely go there if he has the chance.
This kind of scene has been rare for countless years, and may not be seen again in the future. Speaking of which, Chen Xing has been gone for more than an hour.
With his foot power, what is the concept of more than an hour? Chen Xing even almost climbed over a mountain. The road is still the same, a very wide cement road. Not to mention that this road leads to a certain village. If it is said to be a county road leading to other counties, Chen Xing would believe it, but there are really very few people passing by here. , saw no one all the way.
But this situation did not make Chen Xing retreat, but instead made him look forward to it even more. Without this spirit of exploration, Chen Xing would not have discovered a place like Chunmanzhai. Chen Xing is looking forward to this village now. What if he is lucky and encounters a village like Chunmanzhai again?
But reason told Chen Xing that the chance was very low. Look at this road, it is so long and well-built. The villages inside are either tourist attractions, or they have talented people who donated money to build such a good road.
Suddenly there was the sound of a car behind him, and Chen Xing quickly stepped aside, curious to see who was driving in.
This was the first time Chen Xing saw a car on this road in such a long time. Maybe he could get someone to give him a lift.
The car arrived in front of Chen Xing. Before Chen Xing could say anything, the person in the car asked: "Hey, you walked here? Who are you?"?
? ? I am walking on the road well, who are you asking me? What does it have to do with you? Chen Xing showed a puzzled expression.
The man said again: "Are you going to Chenjiacun?"
"Yes." Chen Xing nodded.
"Are you looking for someone? Why don't you ask someone to pick you up? It's a long walk without a car. Chenjia Village is at the foot of the mountain. You have to walk down the mountain to get to the village."
"I'm a tourist. I came here when I saw a bus stop for Chenjiacun on the roadside."
"Oh... tourists." He looked at Chen Xing and then said,
"Get in the car. We still have about ten minutes to drive. Walking will be even slower. Come up and blow on the air conditioner for a while." Chen Xing also observed this person.
He was in his mid-twenties, and there was a woman who was a little younger than him sitting in the passenger seat. I don't know whether she was a younger sister or a lover. Both of them looked kind-hearted, and their invitation was also well-intentioned.
Chen Xing thanked him and got in the car. It’s true that I’m tired from walking and exhausted from the sun. After getting in the car, the driver said: "Let me introduce myself. My name is Chen Fuyong. This is my girlfriend Jingjing. She is from Chenjia Village. We occasionally have tourists coming to our village, but people like you who come here on foot, I This is the first time I've seen it." Chen Fuyong walked this kind of road once when he was young. At that time, he seemed to have lost his way or something. Anyway, he got lost with his family, so he just walked back this way alone. It was easy... …I didn’t reach the village all night.
In the end, it was his mother who came looking for him and met him on the road. Although I was still young at the time, I can tell from this experience how difficult this road was to walk. Now that I have repaired it, it will definitely be better.
If it were the dirt road like before, no tourists would be willing to drive here. After hearing what he said, Chen Xing said, "I also decided to come here temporarily."
"Then you're pretty good. You're almost done." Chen Fuyong likes to talk. Basically, he and Chen Xing are chatting, and his girlfriend only says a word or two occasionally.
The road going down the mountain does not go straight downhill, but spirals down, so it will take some time to arrive by car, but Chen Xing can already see the village at the bottom of the mountain from the car window. The large village that is clearly visible at a glance makes Chen Xing A moment of exclamation.
"Wow!" Viewed from a high place, Chenjia Village has a traditional layout of five elements and nine palaces. The houses in the village are all traditional buildings with black tiles and white walls. They are quite large and the passage between each house looks like an alley. They are of different widths and lengths, dividing the village into a maze.
If someone really gets lost in this, it may be difficult to get out. The tallest and largest building below is a white pagoda. This white pagoda is built in the center of a lotus pond and is connected to the shore by a covered bridge.
Chen Xing asked: "What is that tower?" Chen Fuyong knew what Chen Xing was talking about without looking at it, and replied: "That is the Wenfeng Tower. It is a place where our Chen clan prays for literary luck. It has been built for hundreds of years. It’s been a few years, but it’s been repaired and it doesn’t look like an ancient building.”
"It's beautiful like this now." Chen Xing said. If there weren't any girls present, Chen Xing would have liked to lie down on the car window and watch.
The lotus flowers in August have already bloomed. Looking from a high place, the lotus leaves in the lotus pond are emerald green and densely connected, setting off the newly blooming lotus flowers. These lotus flowers are pink and white, and they stand gracefully. , delicate and colorful.
"Isn't it beautiful?" Chen Fuyong asked.
"Beautiful, very beautiful!" Chen Xing said. As they neared the village, Chen Fuyong briefly introduced his hometown.
"We only have one surname here, and that is Chen. There are basically no outsiders. There is a book recording the history of our village. It says that we hid here when the Mongols invaded the Central Plains eight hundred years ago, and have been living there ever since. Live here." Living so far away from the main road means that he will not be affected by any wars.
Who would go to the mountains to cause trouble for a single family without a serious illness? Chen Fuyong continued: "The number of tourists coming to us now is either too many or too few. After all, we have preserved many complete ancient buildings here, as well as ancestral halls, ancient pagodas, temples, Taoist temples..."
"You have not only temples but also Taoist temples here?" Is this a village?
"Yes, we built the temple ourselves. In the past, many old people believed in Buddhism, so we built one by ourselves. To be precise, the Taoist temple is a neighbor. I don't know when it was established. Anyway, now, everyone inside has the same surname. That's it." Chen Xing was speechless.
"We're here!" Chen Fuyong said. He stopped under a two-story building. The style of the building was the same as what Chen Xing saw on the hillside. It was an Huizhou architectural style with white walls and black tiles. The iconic Huizhou building firewall was very conspicuous, and it was seen in many ancient towns. Fix this.
Chen Xing understood what he meant, thanked him and got off the car. He was about to walk towards the White Tower when Chen Fuyong got off the car and suddenly reminded him: "By the way, there is a hotel at the entrance of the village where we came in. You can stay there at night."
"knew!"
