Early the next morning, everyone got on the bus and set off again.
First, the bus took everyone to the Battle Memorial Hall.
On the memorial relief wall are vivid characters from the past, which are said to be scenes from the troops' long march at that time.
Looking at the revolutionary soldiers trudging through mountains and rivers one after another on the wall, and listening to the vivid descriptions by the commentator, everyone could not help but feel emotional and have wet eyes.
Gu Chen also integrated into it and seemed to resonate with it. The peaceful and harmonious society in Long Country today is all due to the efforts of these generations. For a better life, he must work hard to live no matter what, even if he cannot repay the results. The country, win glory for the country, but at least we must not lose the backbone of the people. It is not difficult to die. Death is not terrible. What is afraid is losing the faith to live.
After leaving the Battle Memorial Hall, we went to the National Forest Park, with beautiful mountains and clear waters. It is very nice to have such a place in this noisy big city.
After leaving the park, the tour group took everyone to sightseeing in various snack streets and Internet celebrity roads in the city, taking photos and live broadcasting. It was like herding cattle, and the little girl leading the way couldn't control it.
Parents were also immersed in it. Gu Chen also took many photos of the two of them and bought several sets of clothes for each of them.
At the end of the day, although everyone was tired from walking, they had a good time.
Especially my parents, seeing all the new things in big cities, such as bags, jewelry, etc., were so fascinated that they couldn’t take their eyes off them.
Gu Chen originally wanted to buy a jadeite bracelet for his mother. He took a look and saw that it was not very expensive, only tens of thousands of yuan.
Unfortunately, she was rejected by Chen Guilan and even scolded, saying that she could just take a look and buy whatever she wanted, but she couldn't eat it.
Gu Chen had no choice but to obey the order and follow the two of them along the way. It was said that they were two people, but in fact it was him and his father who accompanied his mother to look around.
The next day, they took the bus out of Xiangjiang and drove all the way. It took more than six hours and finally arrived in Kyoto.
Everyone had a simple dinner, which was also arranged by the tour group. It was average, but he was still given 0.1 attribute points.
Early in the morning on the third day, the little girl who was the leader of the tour group took everyone to the foot of the Great Wall in Kyoto.
"Everyone, today we are climbing the Great Wall. If you don't want to climb, you can take the tour bus behind us and go directly up. If you want to climb, you can come to me to get water and food. We will set off on time at nine o'clock and it is expected to take 4 to 5 hours."
After speaking, she paused and then reminded: "It is recommended that the elderly and infirm people take a car, because there are no cars on the way to climb the Great Wall. You can only get to the top in one go before a car will pick you up."
Then she walked straight to the van nearby and began to pack food and water resources.
"Mom and Dad, just take the car up. This climb is very tiring."
"I'm fine. How tiring can this be? Are you tired of working at the construction site?" Gu Changjiang patted his chest, eager to try.
"I won't climb anymore because I'm afraid my asthma will relapse later."
Chen Guilan also wanted to climb along. After all, she had always seen the Great Wall on TV. Now she was at the foot of the Great Wall, but unable to move due to asthma, which was indeed a bit disappointing.
Gu Chen looked at his mother with a forced smile on his face. He had no choice but to let his father carry her on his back. He looked tough, but he was actually strong on the outside but strong on the inside.
"Then I'll take the car too!" Dad gave up the idea of climbing. After all, it was more important to accompany his wife and take care of her safety.
Gu Chen nodded and didn't say anything else. He would bring his parents here again when he has the chance.
When Gu Chen came to the van, the girl gave him a black backpack, which contained a box of self-heating rice set, two bags of biscuits, a ham sausage and three bottles of mineral water, as well as a small box of yogurt.
"Xiaochen, be careful when you go up there. Don't fall behind. If you need anything, ask the leader. Your dad and I are waiting for you on the mountain."
"Okay, Mom and Dad, I'm leaving first." After saying that, they followed the team step by step towards the Great Wall.
On the Great Wall, the scenery is endless. It is already the early winter season. Although there is sunshine above our heads, it gets colder as we climb higher, and there is still a cold wind blowing on our faces.
This reminded him of a poem: The scenery of the northern country, thousands of miles of ice, thousands of miles of snow drifting. Looking inside and outside the Great Wall, there is nothing but vastness; the river up and down suddenly stops flowing...
"If I could bend my bow and shoot the giant eagle like Genghis Khan, I would have no regrets in this life!" He thought to himself, looking up and down the Great Wall, feeling the majesty of it.
Gu Chen worked hard to walk up step by step, following closely behind the leader.
There is a safety officer with a pager at the front, middle and back. If anyone is exhausted halfway, he will stop to help him continue climbing, or they will stop together to rest.
Gu Chen was far ahead and had been climbing for nearly two hours. At this moment, his back was soaked through. The cold wind passed by and seeped into his clothes from the collar, making him shiver.
"Hey, why is there someone doing Tai Chi over there?"
Gu Chen, who had just taken a sip of mineral water after stopping, looked up and saw a Taoist priest in his sixties doing Tai Chi under the watch tower of the Great Wall.
Gu Chen focused his energy on his eyes and saw that the Taoist Master had his hands on the middle third of his chest and waist, his feet were slightly apart, his shoulders were square and his chest was rising and falling, presumably he was breathing.
"Why doesn't he move?" Gu Chen became interested and looked at the Taoist priest while climbing the stairs. He almost tripped over the stone pier and fell.
He estimated that the distance from the road was only two to three hundred meters, but due to excessive consumption, he climbed for more than ten minutes before reaching the bottom of the stairs ten meters away from the watchtower.
Gu Chen walked up step by step and sat on the ground three meters away from the Taoist leader. He took out a bottle of mineral water from his backpack and drank it "tons and tons".
He didn't mean to disturb the Taoist priest, because there were also people taking pictures around the building to commemorate.
The Taoist priest seemed to be outside the world, completely undisturbed by the things around him. He still stood motionless minding his own business. He only occasionally swayed left and right, seemingly about to fall, but miraculously stopped.
Gu Chen just sat there motionless, but his eyes were fixed on the Taoist Priest, and he carefully observed it from top to bottom. He finally confirmed that the Taoist Priest really didn't move much.
About ten minutes later, the Taoist priest slowly opened his eyes, slowly raised his hands on his chest, and then took a long breath and let it out slowly.
"Child, why are you staring at Pindao all the time?"
The Taoist priest was curious. He noticed a sharp gaze staring at him. He slightly opened his eyelids and glanced, just in time to see Gu Chen looking at him intently, nodding and shaking his head from time to time.
Although he practices martial arts here, many tourists will take a look at him when they come here, but they will quickly look away, take pictures, or leave. In short, they have no intention of staring at him all the time.
Standing like a piece of wood, what's so good about it?
Originally, he thought that Gu Chen was also curious for a moment, but until he finished collecting his efforts, Gu Chen still sat there and stared at him, which made him interested.
"Child?" Gu Chen was stunned. He was already in his late twenties and still young. Looking at this Taoist priest, he was only about seventy at most.
"That's not right!" He suddenly thought of Old Man Chen in the park. The guy was eighty-nine years old, but he still looked very young.
"It seems you can't judge a person's age by his appearance!" He thought to himself, shook his head and stood up.
"Taoist Priest, you just practiced Tai Chi, but why are you standing there motionless?" Gu Chen curiously asked the question in his heart. In fact, his gestures were too similar to his own Tai Chi, but he didn't move.
"Tai Chi?"
This time it was the Taoist priest's turn to be stunned, and then burst into laughter.
Gu Chen saw him laughing suddenly and thought he had said something wrong. He was about to apologize when the Taoist priest suddenly said:
"I'm not practicing Tai Chi, I'm practicing Zhuang Kung Fu."
"Zhuang Gong?" Gu Chen touched his head, full of confusion.
