    (Thanks to Fujin for the monthly ticket. In the morning, there was a thunderstorm. After breakfast, I went out to write. I saw the red camphor leaves that had fallen on the ground. I felt like these fallen leaves. It was an indescribable feeling. They were green.  One winter, spring has arrived, but you still can¡¯t escape the fate of being trampled on by others. Is it like this book?)

    Kanze Tao pointed to the southward stream that is diverted here and said: "This stream is the source of the West Bridge Lanpu River. If there is no pollution along the way, the water from this river can be drank directly."

    As soon as Jin Zetao got out of the car, the three little guys eagerly climbed into Jin Zetao's arms. Xiao Changshang climbed up to Jin Zetao's neck as before, holding him top to bottom and Lili in his arms.

    Zhuang Ziqi and other leaders were empty-handed, but their family members all brought cameras. Seeing the wild rapids and the simple and clear bluestone bridges in front of them, they couldn't help but take out their cameras, look for angles, focus, and press the shutter.  .

    It was almost noon, when the sun was at its warmest, and the villages on both sides of the stream stood quietly, in sharp contrast to the turbulent noise in the stream.

    On the stone bridge connecting the two villages, several children were chasing and playing. When they saw someone watching and taking photos, they ran even more happily.

    Occasionally, a few villagers passed the stone bridge and when they saw Kanazawa Tao and others, they stopped and whispered instructions. From time to time, children passed by and joined the chasing team on the bridge.

    Several female relatives could not help but scream: "Slow down, slow down, be careful of falling."

    "It's just that the more they shouted, the crazier the children played on the bridge. Some of the brave ones even somersaulted on the bridge.

    The onlookers said proudly: "Guests don't have to worry. These skinny monkeys have to climb more hills than walking on a flat road. They can't miss it. Guests, don't underestimate our bluestone bridge. It looks sparse, but according to the elders, it is  The village was washed away, and even the bluestone bridge was fine."

    Kanazawa praised: "In the past hundred years, there have been three documented cases of extremely severe flash floods in this stream. Countless fertile fields in villages on both sides of the river have been washed away. This stone bridge is still solid and safe. These are recorded in the West Bridge Chronicles  of."

    Zhuang Ziqi said with emotion: "It is as clever as it is clumsy. The wisdom of the ancients is not inferior to that of today's people. This bridge looks weak, but the flood has not washed it away, and time has not erased it. It still stands today. We do things the same way. Cut out the complex and simplify it.  , taking the straight from the tune may lead to the essence of things.¡±

    The adults were all on tenterhooks, but the children cheered loudly.

    Jin Zetao took the lead on the bridge with his three children in his arms. The bridge is a hundred meters long and the stream is only half as wide.  The riverbed where the stream actually flows is less than twenty meters in the middle.

    It looks scary, but when you get on the bridge, it's actually like walking on flat ground, and it's not that scary.

    At this time, standing on the bridge.  Looking at the stream below, the bold little singer drooped her buttocks.  He grabbed his father's neck so tightly that Kanazawa was breathing heavily.

    On the contrary, Ding Ding and Li Li, who had always followed the rules, danced and screamed at the turbulent water under the bridge with their hands open.

    Jin Zetao put them down and said: "Hold on to Dad, don't run around. If you fall under the bridge, you will be carried far away by the water, and you will never see Mom and Dad again."

    Lili asked curiously: "Dad, can I see grandpa?"

    Lili is closest to his grandfather.

    "Brother Lili, grandma said, children can't play in the water. If they fall into the water, they will turn into fish and swim, until they swim into the sea."

    Dingding said seriously: "The fish will turn into fish soup, but it will be hot."

    Lili originally wanted to take a few steps independently, but when he heard singing and singing, he quickly grabbed his father's arm tightly, unwilling to fall into the river and turn into a fish.

    After Kanazawa Tao, people started to get on the bridge one after another. The children running on the bridge walked in front and looked back curiously from time to time. Kanazawa Tao kept asking: "Children, which village are you sitting in?"

    One of the bold children pointed to the other side of the bridge: "Chai Gedian, we all live in Chai Gedian. Uncle, are you here to play?"

    Jin Zetao waved: "Children, come here and take your little brother across the bridge."

    The bold child hesitated for a moment and came over to hold Lili¡¯s hand. Lili immediately said happily and politely: ¡°Thank you, brother.¡±

    The child obviously didn¡¯t accept anyone¡¯s gratitude. He scratched his head in embarrassment and said, ¡°It doesn¡¯t matter, this is what I should do.¡±

    Jin Zetao took out a handful of candies and laughed: "This is not what you should do. Uncle, thank you too and give you a few candies."

    "Thank you, uncle!" the child cheered, took the candy, and immediately ran to the other side of the river with him.

    He Yue, who was following behind, screamedLili had already twisted his buttocks, and ran away with the boy's hands, shouting, and boldly peeking into the stream while running. The boy was so frightened that he quickly pulled him into the right path.

    Ding Ding was extremely envious and looked up at his father. Jin Zetao waved a tall boy over again. The boy came over with a naive smile. Jin Zetao said: "Kid, can you take your little brother across the bridge?"

    The tall boy took the hand above his head and stared at Kanazawa Tao's hand expectantly. Kanazawa laughed and took out another handful of candies from his pocket and gave it to him.

    The tall boy turned around, picked up Ding Ding and ran away. Ding Ding giggled and ran away after the big boy.

    Several other children who were playing gathered around him. They stared at Sing-sing who was still sitting on Kanazawa's neck, and opened their hands, hoping to earn a handful of candies by carrying Sing-sing across the river like a doll.

    Changing Chang hugged Jin Zetao's neck tightly and whispered softly: "Chang Chang and dad are the best. Chang Chang wants to accompany dad across the bridge."

    Chang Chang didn¡¯t dare to cross the bridge, but she didn¡¯t say she was afraid. She politely begged her father not to let her cross the bridge with her strange brother.

    Jin Zetao felt pity in his heart and said: "I will accompany my father to cross the bridge if I sing."

    ??Actually, adults, let alone children, will feel somewhat panicked when they cross such a long narrow bridge without guardrails for the first time.

    He Yue has always been very courageous. At this time, she could only follow Jin Zetao cautiously, holding onto Jin Zetao's back tightly. Seeing her two sons running in front, she also panicked and hurriedly wanted to keep up.

    Jin Zetao stopped him quickly.  Said: "Crossing a bridge, don't be nervous. You feel like crossing a single-plank bridge, but your child thinks it is a Yangguan Road."

    The children who gathered around Jin Zetao and prepared to earn a handful of candies were all disappointed and were about to leave. However, Jin Zetao waved to the children of Zhuang Ziqi and Shen Xiangyang behind him and said, "Come here, you are all young men. You don't need to rely on your parents to cross the bridge."  , find a friend to cross the bridge by yourself."

    Zhuang Ziqi¡¯s son looked at his mother for help.  Mrs. Zhuang nodded: "Your Uncle Jin is right. When you grow up, you can find your own friends."

    A little boy among the playing children cleverly went up to pull Mayor Zhuang's son and said, "Brother, I will take you across the bridge."

    Kanazawa Tao was not stingy and gave each of these children a handful of candies.  The adults walked behind and the children shouted in front.

    Dingding and Lili ran across the bridge early, but felt that it was not enjoyable enough, so they ran back and forth on the bridge repeatedly. After a while, everyone crossed the bridge.

    Look back at this matchstick-like stone bridge.  No one, no matter how timid, feels full of pride.

    Crossing the bridge is Chaiguidian Village. At the entrance of the village is a large camphor tree. The seven or eight children who helped them cross the bridge are holding hands and surrounding the large camphor tree. However, no matter how hard they try, there is always an empty drawer that cannot be closed.  .

    Sing and shout for joy.  He broke free from Kanazawa Tao's neck and filled the hole.  Gathering together nine children, they were just around the corner.

    Over there, He Yue and others were busy taking photos of their children, while here Jin Zetao turned to the other end of the tree.

    The lush camphor trees give people crossing the bridge a healthy and vibrant atmosphere, but behind this prosperity, there are vicissitudes and ups and downs.

    Zhuang Ziqi and others followed Jin Zetao and turned around. Above the tree trunk, there was a charred, lifeless hollow. This was a lightning-struck tree. The entire camphor tree was almost hollowed out by lightning, and only a layer of tree shell remained.  The ground is sprouting.

    It shows everyone who enters the village a flourishing and prosperous scene, and it leaves every child who hugs it an optimistic and magnificent image of Grandpa Tree.

    Zhuang Ziqi said: "A tree is a history, it is a living fossil of this village."

    Chai'ao Village is an ancient village, and it is also a clean village. The road into the village is paved with bluestones. If the soles of your shoes are spiked and hit the flagstones, they will make a crisp tinkling sound, which is very pleasant to the ear.

    After passing this stone bridge road, you enter the village. The village road is not a stone road, but is paved with bluestone strips.

    Facing the village entrance is a one-bay stone archway, also made of bluestone. The structural shape is the same as that of the bridge. It is simple and bright. There are no eaves and brackets on the upper part, and no carved animals on the lower part. The only words on the forehead of the archway are vaguely distinguishable.

    This is a chastity archway to express filial piety. Judging from the regulations, it should be built by the villagers themselves. The sun sets on the stone archway, which makes it look exceptionally bright red.

    He Yue touched the stone pillar and said in a low voice: "This is the legendary chastity arch. I feel like there is a crying sound."

    These words made Kanze Tao feel like there were gusts of cold wind on his back even under the sun. He said: "You can't say that. It depends on the angle from which you understand it. Keeping integrity and keeping filial piety.Although it seems unethical from a modern perspective, you can also understand it as a testimony of love.  "

    Mrs. Zhuang said angrily: "You men all wish that your wives would observe Death Day for you at home, while you are out having fun and drinking. The world is as dark as crows. If you ask me, these archways should be smashed."

    Kanazawa was stunned, this is too tough, even if you are the mayor's wife, if you smash this archway, it would be strange if the old men and ladies in the village don't fight for you.

    Zhuang Ziqi winked at him, and Jin Zetao quickly followed him, carefully looking back and saying, "Mayor Zhuang, how much resentment does my sister-in-law have to have to think of destroying this chastity memorial arch?"

    Zhuangzi sighed and said: "It is their professional instinct to doubt everything in their profession. Who makes you act so fatherly, loving and trustworthy? It is inevitable that you will be suspected of chastity."

    "Damn it," Kanazawa cursed, no wonder Mayor Zhuang's once black hair is now hairless, just like the camphor tree struck by lightning at the entrance of the village. Looking at the scenery, it is actually full of holes.

    ¡°Does it mean that men have to look for flowers and flirt with flowers to fit the image of an official in her mind? These are women who are driven to illness by their careers.
