Chapter 259 What Are You Doing Here Alone?

This is a very large village.

In addition to the Hui-style residential buildings that can be seen everywhere, there are also many ponds. Although the water in the ponds is not that transparent and clear, it is not dirty. There are a lot of moss and duckweed, and the lotus is in full bloom.

Spring is when peach blossoms, cherry blossoms and pear blossoms are in full bloom. They are beautiful, but they only have a flowering period of 20 days.

That is, you can only see their flowers during the 20 days of that spring.

The flowering period of the lotus almost runs through the entire summer. When it blooms, it opens in the morning and closes in the evening, just like people's work and rest.The beauty of lotus is not inferior to these kinds of flowers, and there are also many poems about lotus left from ancient times to the present.

Chen Xing looked around.

If it is a general scenic spot, there will definitely be benches beside this kind of pond for tourists to sit and rest, but there is none here. This is just a village, and it is just a village.

The village is good.

Better than attractions.

Chen Xing patted the lotus here for a while like an old mage, and wanted to take a boat leaning on the bank to go to the center of the pond to have a look, but he couldn't row a boat and didn't know anyone else here, so he just sighed and let it go .

To mention here, this pond is not the pond with the white pagoda that Chen Xing saw on the mountain. That pond is on the edge of the village, where there is a temple besides the white pagoda.The pond over there is bigger, at least three to five times larger than the pond at the entrance of the village.

The road outside only leads to this Chenjia Village, and there are no other people living inside, so there are so few talents on the road.

But when you come to the village, you can see a lot of people. Like most villages, some people are working in the outer fields, and some people are playing in the lotus pond. It is peaceful and peaceful.

Just like other villages, there are fewer young people.

Chen Xing has seen many villages in southern Yunnan or Sichuan Province. Generally, the left-behind children who stay in the villages are relatively wild. Girls are better, and few boys are dressed brightly, but Chen Xing is here The children I met were very clean and polite.

Wandering around, he soon saw a primary school named Chenjiacun Primary School.

It looks like a village-run elementary school, but the decoration inside is very good, although it does not meet the standards of a big city, and the area is also small.But the house is beautifully repaired. Looking in from the door, the house inside is exactly the same as the decoration style of the village houses.

Going forward, Chen Xing also saw a Chen Family Academy.

This academy should belong to the ancient building, right?

Chen Xing didn't realize that the building was guarded, so he walked in.

Before entering the house, you can only see the wooden door and white wall of the ancient building outside. After entering, you can see a huge, empty courtyard with a dozen huge columns standing under the huge hard gable roof. The pillars are all painted with that kind of black, but not pure black paint, which is very impressive.

There are three table tennis tables in the corner, and some children are playing table tennis there.

Chen Xing doesn't know much about ancient buildings, but he has a little more knowledge than some ordinary people.

This academy can be regarded as a courtyard with three entrances, and it belongs to a relatively new traditional ancestral hall building. Looking at the lacquer on the pillars and the exquisite wood carvings on the beams, Chen Xing knows that this is not a real ancient building, but a renovated one.

But that is also an ancient building, Chen Xing thought to himself.

It's much better than refurbishing and making it old again. It's unnecessary to take off your pants and fart.

Wood carvings are also rare and exquisite. Miao villages also like to carve things on door frames. Chen Xing has always liked it and thought it was very good.But only here did I know what is called the art of Han culture, the craftsmanship of old craftsmen.

Even the roof is not simple, the wood-carved koi has been painted and comes alive on the roof.

The mouth is open, and judging from the location, it should spit out rainwater. No matter in terms of design or meaning, it looks exquisite and appropriate.

There are also houses inside, and no one guards them.

When you walk in, you will see long tables and chairs, and a modern blackboard in front of it. This is the only modern thing in this room, but it is not obtrusive. In the impression of their generation, there is no blackboard in the classroom It's just abrupt.

There are calligraphy on rice paper hanging on the wall, some of them are well written and some of them are badly written, but they are undoubtedly better than Chen Xing's handwriting.

In ancient times, this was either a government-run academy or a private school, right?

Chen Xing has always wanted to study in this kind of private school, not pursuing a diploma, but only learning his own self-cultivation and cultivating the temperament of a literati... But he has read too many martial arts novels, the real situation is that Chen Xing has never seen a private school.

It has long been banned by modern schools.

"The handwriting is really good..."

Chen Xing was very envious.

The more traditional the school, the more emphasis on calligraphy.

Chen Xing's grandfather passed away many years ago, but Chen Xing was deeply impressed by his calligraphy.

Although he only has a junior high school diploma, his grandfather was considered well off when he was young, and he went to a private school. His handwriting is excellent, and he can write characters as small as pen characters, and the brush strokes are elegant and handsome.

It's a pity that grandpa left early, and Chen Xing didn't learn more from him.

"What are you doing here alone?"

When the voice came out, Chen Xing was startled.

Looking back, I realized that it was two children. The older little loli brought a younger boy with her, and they probably came here to play.After all, there is a lot of open space under the main hall, which is equivalent to a square for children.

Chen Xing breathed a sigh of relief.

"I'm……"

A voice came from outside the door: "I'm here to find you!!!"

"Hide quickly!"

The two siblings were in a panic trying to find a place to hide, but seeing Chen Xing still standing there, they hurried over and pulled Chen Xing under a table to hide... But to be honest, it was really conspicuous, this kind of child's seat, blocking the How tall is Chen Xing's 1.8-meter body?

But no one found this problem, and neither did Chen Xing.

The three of them hid in this small place, staring wide-eyed.

The elder sister asked again in a very small voice: "Brother, are you a tourist?"

"Yes."

The little boy said: "What fun things do we have here? Why do tourists come here? Isn't it fun in the city?"

"It's not fun." Chen Xing said.

What's interesting in the city is that there are many ways of entertainment in the city, and some people will entertain you in various ways, but that kind of depressive life has never been pursued by those who yearn for freedom.

After living in the city for a long time, anyone would have the idea of ​​going back to the countryside to live a happy life.

Of course, rich people say otherwise.

When you have money, it's really fun to be in the city.

"Did you come alone?"

"correct."

"very pitiful!"

"..."

Their chats were basically children's curious inquiries. Chen Xing replied that he really couldn't think of any topics to communicate with children.It wasn't something he was good at, but things quickly turned around.

They are caught!

Hide and seek, the child who is a 'ghost' saw Chen Xing when he came in, saw him hiding, and subconsciously said: "I caught you!"

Then the little girl stood up with the kid.

"You are amazing!"

"Who did you catch first?"

"Eh?" The child looked at Chen Xing, then at the two siblings...how come there are two of them?
Also, who is this grown-up?

He pointed at Chen Xing, indicating to catch Chen Xing first. He was very honest, although Chen Xing didn't play with them, but it must be right that he caught Chen Xing who was hiding as soon as he came in.

The little girl took Chen Xing's hand and said, "You are alone, do you want to play with us?"

"I forget it?"

"Come on, come on..."

As a 20-year-old adult, at least seven or eight years older than them, I shouldn't be interested in such childish activities, because adults have to look like adults... But why do I suddenly want to play? ?
"How to play?" Chen Xing asked.

So Chen Xing and a group of children played games here for half an hour.

Chen Xing is very happy, really.

Happiness is not the same as being happy. He was also very happy that night with Zhou Tong, but that was the happiness of an adult.Today, this kind of fun is to play with children, without using your brain at all.

After all, if you use your brains, these children will have nothing to play with.

But this joy until...

"Hahahaha!"

The voice was a little familiar, and after looking over it, I was stunned.

It's Chen Fuyong's girlfriend, her name is very similar to her personality, she is a relatively quiet person.

Chen Xing was going to hide, he was very familiar with this academy now, this time he wanted to sit and read in the place where the books were kept, and if he was caught, he would be caught, he felt that finding talents was the most fun.

But what now?
He thought two crows were flying overhead.

So embarrassing.

"You come out for a stroll too..." Chen Xing said.

"Ah."

Chen Fuyong had other things to do when she came back, so she couldn't take An Jing around for the time being, but she was very interested in this village, so she decided to come out for a stroll.After all, as Chen Fuyong's girlfriend, he felt very uncomfortable staying in their house.

Seeing this academy, I thought it was very beautiful. As soon as I entered, I saw Chen Xing.

The arresting child came over here, and was puzzled when he saw that Chen Xing didn't hide, but when he saw a big sister came, he knew that Chen Xing must have something to do, so he asked, "Brother Xing, are you still playing? "

"You play……"

They were just a group of kids before, so it’s good to be familiar with them.

Even though he doesn't have much contact with children, his passivity is still there, and he was quickly accepted into their small group.

Now with other grown-ups is another matter.

Quietly smiled, with the corners of her mouth upturned.

"It seems that you like children very much."

"No, no, I'm the most annoying child." Chen Xing said truthfully.

"It doesn't look like..."

She wasn't really quiet, but she was very nervous on the way here. She didn't know what kind of people Chen Fuyong's mother and father were. Now that people have seen her, she also found that Chen Fuyong's hometown is not as dirty and messy as other villages. Very happy with it.

Moreover, Chen Xing looked so happy just now, and this kind of happiness was transmitted to himself.

Indeed, she really didn't mean to laugh at Chen Xing, but seeing this harmonious picture was really inexplicably happy, so she laughed.

Chen Xing went to the corner to get his backpack, and said, "Really, I was just invited by them just now. The atmosphere is well set up, and it's hard to refuse. You should understand. Where's your boyfriend?"

"He's still at home."

Chen Xing was about to leave, and he wanted to go to the back of the village to see the White Tower. When he said goodbye to the children, the children also looked at each other, and one of them said: "We don't play anymore, where are you going? you go."

"Yeah yeah!"

"We can find it everywhere in the village. Let us take you there. Would you like to come and see our ancestral hall?"

"The ancestral hall is the most magnificent!"

“There are delicious things inside!”

Everyone chatted about where to take Chen Xing to play, and then pulled Chen Xing forward, completely ignoring Chen Xing's expression of being forced to open business.Someone was asking An Jing if she wanted to go with her, and An Jing shook her head.

If she was seen walking with Chen Xing, it would not be good to spread the word here.

The layout of this village is different from the layout of a street that Chen Xing saw, and Chen Xing didn't know where he was due to the twists and turns.But he likes the scenery along the way. These scenery are not mountains, rivers, lakes and seas, but decorations on ancient buildings.

This village has been passed down for many years. I don’t know if there are buildings from the Song Dynasty, but there are many buildings from the Ming and Qing Dynasties, and they are all unique in style.

The exquisite wood carvings are undoubtedly the most attractive, and there are many treasures among them.

These woodcarvings are distributed in various places in the village, such as the beam arches, roofs, walls...

Most of the content is the story of the characters, flowers, birds, fish and insects, and many exquisite lines, etc. The shape is very beautiful, and the characters have the style of domestic cartoons in the early years.

And these patterns of flowers, insects, birds and animals that contain meanings reflect the hobbies and pursuits of the people in the village.

Chen Xing now understands that this is not an ordinary village with the same surname, but probably a large clan with inheritance, because only large clans have such cohesion, and this cohesion is the bond of family prosperity and prosperity.

To the ancestral hall.

But the ancestral hall is different from the school. There are people on duty. It is an old man in his sixties. When he saw a child dragging a stranger over, he hurried out of the house and asked, "Little ghosts, what are you doing?"

"Let's come and take a look!" I don't know if Chen Xing gave them confidence, but this sentence was justified.

"Yes, let's bring tourists over to have a look!"

"Brother Chen Xing is also surnamed Chen, let's bring him over to have a look!"

The old man rolled up his sleeves to scare the children, and said: "Can you look at the family ancestral hall casually? I think you are too angry and don't know the rules. Come in, and I will call your father and ask them to come and teach you a lesson." !"

As he walked over, the children dispersed, leaving only Chen Xing standing here.

He can't run away, can he?
He just thinks it's more relaxing to be with children, and it's not really children. Adults naturally have the way of adults.

After the old man drove away the children, he looked at Chen Xing, his expression was no longer vicious, he was just curious.

"Do you want to see our ancestral hall?"

"No, I just wanted to see the White Tower over there, but I was just pulled over by them."

The old man smiled and said: "It seems that children like you very much. Come in. Anyway, your surname is Chen. It's okay to come in and see. I'm just afraid that they will destroy you."

There is a plaque on the ancestral hall, which reads in large gold-painted characters: [Chengxu Hall]
