What does 20 points for fortune telling mean?
On April 23rd, I returned to Suzhou from Shanghai. Brother Wang Jian is going to Suzhou to play. Come with me. There are really few places to go in Suzhou, some of which he visited before he returned to Suzhou. I only accompanied him to see Keyuan, Canglang Pavilion, Confucian Temple, Zhiyuan Garden and Yiyuan Garden in Gu Jia, and had tea in Wuyuan, because he wanted to taste Suzhou. On the 25th, we left Suzhou for Xishan in Dongting Lake, Taihu Lake.
Fiona Fang 120 in the west hill of Dongting, with mountains and peaks. Our destination is Shigong Mountain on the south side of the lake. I saw an advertisement in the newspaper recently. Shigong Mountain opened a hotel and decided to go. If there are no hotels and no acquaintances living in the mountains, then accommodation will become a problem and Dongting Xishan will not be able to go.
At eight o'clock in the morning, we left Xumen and waited at Sufu Road coach station. Sufu Road, from Suzhou to Guangfu, is a commercial road, but it has not been fully opened to traffic, so we can only go to Mudu. At 8: 35, the bus arrived at the station and arrived in Mudu half an hour later. The fare is 20 cents. Crossing the city street, the Yushang small steam turbine heading for Dongting Dongshan began to run. We will buy tickets for Xia Xiang in Xishan Town at a price of 50 cents each. Half an hour to and from Xukou and into Taihu Lake. I used to see Taihu Lake in Yuantouzhu, Wuxi, but only in Ge Yuan, Deng Wei. Now I can personally visit Taihu Lake on its wave surface. The lake waves mixed with yellow seem to rise there as much as possible, connected with the distant sky, or a line of distant shore, or intermittent distant trees. Eyes shining on islands far and near, light blue, dark green, light green, different colors, will not feel monotonous and lonely in the eyes.
12: 15 arrived in Xia Xiang, Xishan town, and we went ashore with a group of Xishan people. There is a pier here, unlike the last stop where you had to take a ferry to get ashore. There was a rickshaw on the dock, and we didn't know the way to Shigong Mountain, so we got on the rickshaw, which cost sixty cents. Chatting with the driver, I realized that there are only ten rickshaws in Xishan, and it is rare for ordinary people to travel. The car went along the mountain path, with mulberry trees, tea trees and fruit trees on both sides, full of green eyes, and rarely met pedestrians. It's like being in this world Fruit trees include persimmons, oranges, plums, bayberry and loquat. When the plum blossoms bloom, this place should be even better than Deng Wei. Yangmei is tall, with a posture of flexion and extension, which is the most picturesque. After getting off the bus several times, we climbed several low mountains, and the road was at the waist of the mountain. We can almost touch the top branches of those trees on the left hillside. Beyond the tree is the lake. At a place with dense foliage, the lake was covered, but later it was exposed.
At a quarter past twelve, we arrived at the Masonry Hotel. This is the house of Jeremiah Temple, with five wings. We chose a floor room near the west with three beds, and the price was two yuan. Jielie Temple is dedicated to Jielie women from all over the Western Hills. There is a large stone archway in front of the door, which is densely engraved with their surnames. Next to Shigong Temple, Shigong Mountain is in charge of the temple. Apart from a temple, Shigong Mountain has no houses, only trees and rocks. The rocks here are particularly beautiful. Once upon a time, people evaluated the three-character formula of stone. Wrinkled, thin and transparent? , used to evaluate the rocks here, most of which can be applied. There are several Taihu stones in People's Garden, and visitors can't bear to wander. Here, there are many Taihu stones, which have roots and are tens of feet high and wide. It can really be called a grand view.
There are only two guests in the restaurant, and the dishes are not prepared. We can only make a bowl of Kaiyang egg soup. After a while, the waiter ran happily and said that he bought a crucian carp from the fisherman, and the dishes for dinner were also available, a small basket of live shrimps and a big crucian carp. Ask if there is any wine, yes. Benshan homemade, also known as bamboo leaf green. Taste a catty. The taste is clear, but it's too thin.
After lunch, we walked out of the hotel and left, about 100 steps, to Xiguangdong. There is a big stone hanging upside down in the cave, commonly known as the upside-down tower. The left and right walls of the cave are engraved with the four characters of "Thin Man" written by Amin Wang Ao, and the brushwork is vigorous. After more than a hundred steps, the stone wall stretches very wide. Li Anyun? Three seal characters. Hold your head high again? Blurred clouds? Four words, Luo Qi, Daoguang years. From here to the beach below, it is paved with big stones, and the lake waves are stirring and gurgling. The opposite green space is Dongting Dongshan, which seems to be not far away, but in fact it is eighteen miles apart. It's called Mingyuepu. It's nice when the bright moon will come. We took photos, went back to the mountain and climbed to the top of the mountain from the so-called sky crack. Turn south and walk to the crane pavilion. The houses of Lieci Temple and Shigong Temple in Xiawang Street are neat and small, like the architectural models in the exhibition. Further down is Cuipingxuan. Turn right out of Shigong Temple, cross the gate of Jielie Temple and reach Guiyun Cave. A mountain carved Guanyin statue in the cave is about two feet taller than a human being, and its bearing is not bad. Unfortunately, it is inlaid with gold, and you can't see the carver. Shigong Mountain covers an area of 180 mu and is more than 70 feet high. It's just a hill, but there are good rocks and many trees. You can see that the hills and valleys are deep and fascinating.
After returning to the hotel to rest, we rented a fishing boat to see the beach on the south bank of masonry. There is a gap under the beach stone, and the waves rush in, making the sound of a flood hole, just like Shi Zhongshan. The fisherman asked where else he wanted to go, and we pointed to three mountains in the south and said, if we go back in time, we want to go there. So the fisherman set sail. Cross wind, hull to the right, underwater sound diving under the ship's rail. In less than forty minutes, we arrived at Sanshan Beach. There are very few big stones there, all of which are washed away rubble without edges and corners. It is said that there are some well-off families on the mountain. They have guns for self-defense, and the bullets are buried in the reeds by the sea for temporary use, and only a few of them. Because it is late, we have no time to go to the countryside. We only took a few photos on the beach and returned to the boat against the sunset. A three-string fortune teller wanted to go to Xishan and asked for a load, and we agreed. At this time, the sun is near the horizon, and the yellow water is reddish, which makes people feel boundless. Smoke is gradually rising on the lake, and the wind is stronger than before, which is also a crosswind. The hull is to the left, and the underwater sound under the ship's side is more refreshing. The fisherman is very good. Ask the fortune teller to tell the fortune of his two boys. I heard that both of them have taken root, and the older one has your star to help him. The fisherman and his wife smiled and comforted. When the ship arrived in Shigong Mountain, it was already dark. It takes three hours by boat. Pay one dollar and twenty cents. The restaurant specially lit a gasoline lamp for us, drank bamboo leaves, ate shrimp with crucian carp, and pickled mustard greens, which were as delicious as those produced in Baima Lake. Go to bed at nine. Listening to the waves on the lake, like the wind blowing through the pine forest, I soon fell asleep.
Get up at six in the morning on the 26th. The southeast wind is strong. Going out to see the lake is wrinkled and dark, and there are white waves everywhere. After breakfast, the rickshaw agreed yesterday came and left the hotel. The room and board cost more than six yuan. Along the same road that we came yesterday, we went to Xiazhen Town. The faint sunshine gradually came out, the wind blew the trees, and the eyes were full of dancing new green. I met women picking tea by the roadside, and everyone took a basket full of picked tea buds. It is said that this is the second time this year, but it is only four or five times a year. I sent a letter in Xia Zhen Town, but I can't go far. I went to Linwu Cave, where there was a hole problem. The ninth hole in the world? Six big characters. It is said that this hole has three entrances like a house, the first one can stand upright, and the second one is relatively low, so you have to bend over. Go further inside and go straight to Huguang. Where there are caves, there are often similar legends, which are of course not credible. Walking four or five miles to the coal mine, I met a foreman named Zhou, who was from yi county, and another named Kenzo, who was from Datong Township. He told us about the coal mine. This coal mine was originally mined by indigenous method, and the quality of bituminous coal produced is very good. It is shipped to nearby areas and sold at a price of six or seven yuan per ton, which is much cheaper than coal in the distance. Now this mine is operated by Limin Mining Company, covering an area of 17000 mu. At present, two wells are being dug, one is sixteen feet deep and the other is thirty feet deep. These two wells are connected. After a month's successful excavation, coal can be mined by machine. He added that besides here, there are many minerals in Xishan. He is 43 years old, the same age as me. He has been to many places and worked in coal mines for 20 years. He has never been to a mining school. He has a frank talk based on practical experience. When he saw Kenzo as a compatriot, his kindness was beyond words. Kenzo took a picture of him and stood him by the well he had dug. When I got back to Xia Xiang, it was already eleven o'clock. Pay the price of rickshaws, one yuan and twenty-five cents each. I ate noodles in the noodle restaurant, bought Biluochun tea from Benshan, drank two cups of tea in a small teahouse, and walked for a while to the nearby mountain road until half past two in the afternoon. Yushang's small steam turbine leaned against the dock, and we braved the strong wind to get into the cabin and walked to the middle of the lake, bumping and shaking as if we were in the ocean. All the guests on the ship couldn't help closing their eyes and lowering their heads, showing a sleepy look.
