    A long time ago, Meng Zitao saw this statement in the newspaper, saying that there were four most famous ancient cities in the country, and Langzhou Ancient City was one of them.  However, unlike the other three ancient cities that are so well-known that they cannot even enjoy a moment of peace, this ancient city in northern Sichuan has not seen many reports despite its great reputation.

    At this time, Meng Zitao and Dajun were carrying the salute and were about to enter this ancient city they had heard about for a long time.

    Speaking of which, Langzhou pillows Bashan Mountain to the east, Jian.ge to the west, and is surrounded by the Jialing River on three sides. It is a geographical location surrounded by mountains on four sides and facing water on three sides.

    In terms of Feng Shui, this geographical pattern combines the "Five Secrets of Geography" and the Feng Shui image of "Xuanwu bows its head, Suzaku dances, green dragon meanders, and white tiger tamely bends", so Feng Shui is very good.

    In ancient times, it would be unreasonable not to make use of such a Feng Shui pattern, and the ancient city of Langzhou is also the only preserved ancient city in my country that was built according to the Feng Shui concept of the Tang Dynasty.

    The remaining ancient city of the Ming and Qing Dynasties was built close to the Jialing River. The traffic environment must have been extremely prosperous in ancient times. This can be seen from the "Langzhou City South is rare in the world" left by Du Fu when he lived here.

    However, like most cities in China, today's ancient city of Langzhou has long been surrounded by modern buildings, but the few old streets that have been preserved still reveal a simple charm.

    Meng Zitao walked into the ancient city with Dajun and felt that the rhythm here was obviously much more relaxed. There were not many tourists. This also caused that although there were many shops on the ancient street, most of them were relatively idle. On weekdays, it was often after noon.  Only then did the door open.

    However, Meng Zitao believes that tourism requires this kind of leisurely atmosphere. If there are too many people, it will be boring.  If you want to be lively, you might as well go to the amusement park.

    The folk houses in Langzhou Ancient City are old houses that have been preserved from the past. In the 1940s and 1950s, there used to be 91 large and small streets and alleys, with the styles of the Tang, Song, Yuan, Ming and Qing Dynasties. Now more than half of them are still there  It has been preserved to this day.

    The two of them walked on the path paved with bluestones, admiring the white walls and black tiles on both sides. It felt like they were walking through a long historical corridor, which was refreshing and lingering.

    The well-preserved residences in the ancient city include more than a dozen old houses such as the Du Family Courtyard, the Ma Family Courtyard, and the Zhang Family Small Courtyard. Most of them are full of ancient charm and full of characteristics.

    Like other ancient cities in China, these old houses have also been converted into hotels. Meng Zitao booked a large courtyard before coming. It is not expensive and has rich cultural connotations. The elegant atmosphere makes people feel pure and clean.

    When Meng Zitao¡¯s car arrived in Langzhou, it was just noon and they had not eaten lunch yet. After the two of them packed up and saluted, they went out to enjoy a meal of local delicacies, and of course the specialty "Zhang Fei Beef" was indispensable.

    This "Zhang Fei Beef" is named because its appearance is "black on the surface and red on the inside" which is similar to the image of the fierce general Zhang Fei. There are four flavors in total, which are quite delicious.

    After enjoying Zhang Fei beef, of course you must visit Zhang Fei Temple, which is called the landmark building of Langzhou.  Since Zhang Fei was killed in Langzhou, his men cut off his head and buried it in the mountain city. Therefore, there is only a headless corpse in Zhang Fei's temple here.

    After that, Meng Zitao and Da Jun visited several scenic spots, and finally stared at the highest point in ancient Langzhou, the three-story Huaguang Tower.

    Meng Zitao carefully overlooked the scenery and layout of the ancient city from Huaguang Tower, and he couldn't help but be deeply moved by the infinite cultural significance he experienced.

    Early the next morning, Meng Zitao and Dajun had just had breakfast, and the driver contacted through Shu Ze rushed over.

    "Hello, Mr. Meng, I am Liu Zhongyou." Liu Zhongyou shook hands with Meng Zitao and Dajun enthusiastically.

    Meng Zitao smiled and said, "Brother Liu, you don't have to be so polite. You can just call me by my name or Xiao Meng."

    Liu Zhongyou chuckled, considering Shu Ze¡¯s status, he couldn¡¯t call him that.

    "Brother Liu, have you had breakfast?"

    "have eaten."

    "Then let's go"

    Liu Zhongyou drove an off-road vehicle. The three of them got in the car and drove to the place where Meng Zitao was going to study.

    Due to the long distance and the difficult road, it was almost noon when they arrived at their destination.

    After getting out of the car, Meng Zitao couldn't help but frowned when he saw the school in front of him that looked a little dilapidated, and the playground and sports facilities were quite poor.

    Today is already the 24th of the twelfth lunar month, and the school has been on holiday. Looking around, the school is silent.

    &?We also welcome your return visit at any time. If you find that there is a problem with an expense, I will not say anything if you put me in jail.  "

    Meng Zitao chuckled: "As for the funding, we'll talk about it when we get back. What do you think?"

    Xie Guozhong grinned and said, "No problem!"

    After dinner, Meng Zitao and the others, led by Xie Guozhong, went to the homes of those students.

    Among them, their parents have been divorced since childhood, and there are three grandparents in the family. The grandmother is suffering from illness and has been bedridden for many years.  The father can only stay at home and take care of the farm, and cannot go out to work at all; some parents have died and are fostered in the home of an uncle who is also not well-off; there are also mothers who died young, grandparents are weak and sick, and the father is uneducated and can only do odd jobs.

    Every family is in great difficulty, and they welcomed Meng Zitao¡¯s arrival very warmly.

    Due to limited time, Meng Zitao and the others did not sit there for long. He told them some conditions for student assistance, left their contact number and left.

    Since the three families were not far apart, the group only spent nearly three hours.

    ¡°Boss Meng, why don¡¯t we go to Cheng Xuemei¡¯s house tomorrow?¡± Xie Guozhong suggested.

    "It's only three o'clock now, isn't there enough time?" Meng Zitao asked.

    Xie Guozhong said: "It's really not enough. There is a mountain road over there, and cars can't drive in. It takes two or three hours to walk back and forth. And when you get there, you have to sit for a while before walking. It will be dark by then.  , it¡¯s a bit dangerous to walk on the mountain road.¡±

    Because the end of the year was approaching and there were other things to deal with, Meng Zitao really didn¡¯t want to waste time, so he asked again: ¡°Is it true that I can¡¯t leave after dark?¡±

    ????

    Meng Zitao thought this method was not bad, so he nodded and said, "I'll bother you then."

    Liu Zhongyou was asked to stay at the school, while Meng Zitao and the others walked there. Along the way, Meng Zitao finally realized how difficult the road was. God had to be kind, otherwise, they might not even arrive until dark.

    After a long and arduous journey, the three finally arrived at the home of the last student aid recipient.

    This village is a typical dry mountain village. There is not even one acre of cultivated land per capita. The efficiency of traditional agriculture is low. Most of the villagers go out to work, and most of the people who stay in the village have a difficult life.

    Cheng Xuemei and Cheng Xuemei¡¯s family is like this. Their mother ran away from home because she couldn¡¯t stand the poverty life. Their grandfather is over 80 years old this year. Both his grandfather and father are in poor health and have been suffering from diseases for many years.  The twins' schooling expenses were entirely supported by their father's support at home and doing odd jobs for others. You can imagine the difficulties.

    The two sisters were 11 years old. When Meng Zitao and the others came over, they were helping their father work in the fields. They sat for a while before the father and daughter rushed back after being notified by the villagers.

    After learning that Meng Zitao wanted to help his daughter go to school, Cheng Anyong, an honest man, quickly stepped forward to hold Meng Zitao's hand and expressed his gratitude with choked sobs.

    At this time, I heard Cheng Xuemei say: "I don't want to go to school."

    These words immediately silenced the scene. Cheng Anyong turned around and stared: "What did you say!"

    Cheng Xuemei said stubbornly: "Just let my sister go to school. I'll stay at home and work."

    "What the hell are you talking about!" Cheng An was furious with his courage. If there were no outsiders present, he would have wanted to take action.

    Meng Zitao asked Cheng Anyong to calm down and asked Cheng Xuemei kindly: "Cheng Xuemei, what can you do in the future if you don't study now?"

    Cheng Xuemei said: "What about studying? I heard Xiaoyang say that it is difficult for college students to find jobs outside now. What's more, we don't have money to go to college, so we might as well help at home to reduce the burden on the family.  When you get older, you can find someone to marry and you can still have some money as a gift."

    Cheng Anyong became angry after hearing this, pointed at his daughter and cursed: "Youyou listened to the nonsense of the little brat from Cheng Mazi's family again. No one in his family is a good person, can you listen to what he said?!"

    Cheng Xuemei retorted: "Xiaoyang is not the only one who said that. I also asked my classmates in class and they said the same thing." (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
