Chapter 4 Chicheng Xia
He was speechless all night. The next morning, Qi Xiang woke up shortly after he received a call from Wang Dong.
Qi Xiang didn't hesitate, and immediately brought her packed duffel bag and went straight to the appointment place. There was a van waiting in that place.
Wang Dong was not there, only his little brothers were there. Qi Xiang greeted the people and got into the car directly. The little brother who was driving didn't say nonsense and drove directly, driving fast all the way, speeding and lightning.
Seeing that the car left the outskirts of Jinling City, Qi Xiang asked, "Brothers, where are we going?"
"Airport..." a man responded.
"Uh?" Qi Xiang was stunned and asked again: "Where are you going by plane?"
"Taizhou!" The man seemed to have received the advice and answered questions and questions.
"Taizhou in Zhejiang Province?" Qi Xiang was a little surprised.
"right……"
"No wonder I have to take a plane." Qi Xiang suddenly realized and stopped asking.
Not long after, everyone arrived at the airport. They bought air tickets and boarded the plane. The process was very smooth.
More than an hour later, the plane landed safely. Under the guidance of several people, Qi Xiang walked out of the airport and saw a van parked on the side of the road with a special person picking it up.
"Dedicated..." Qi Xiang praised secretly and got into the car.
The car drove slowly and left the airport area. The speed had accelerated and whistled all the way.
After a while, Qi Xiang felt a little strange. Because the direction of the car was not a city, but a highway deviated from the city. On both sides of the road, there were fields, barren mountains, etc.
"Didn't you go to Taizhou?" Qi Xiang couldn't help asking.
"It's the rooftop of Taizhou, Taizhou." A man said with a smile: "Shangping Village at the foot of Chicheng Mountain in Tiantai."
"Chichuang Mountain!" Qi Xiang's heart moved: "It seems like I've heard of it somewhere..."
Qi Xiang thought about it carefully and soon remembered that Chicheng Mountain should be more famous. At least in some classical literature or Taoist legends, Chicheng Mountain is the so-called God Cave of Gods and Fairies.
But for some reason, the reputation of Chicheng Mountain is slightly inferior to that of Wudang Mountain, Longhu Mountain, Qingcheng Mountain, Emei Mountain, and Jiuhua Mountain, and it gives people a little less impression.
"Is it a promotional issue?"
Qi Xiang's thoughts flew away. When he came to his senses, he found that the car had arrived in the county town.
Shuttled directly from the central street, then left the county town, and then continued to penetrate from a highway outside the city. After more than ten minutes, a man reached out to signal and smiled: "Mr. Qi, look at the mountain over there, it is Chicheng Mountain."
Qi Xiang looked with the flow and saw a mountain standing in the distance. The mountain was not very high, with lush grass and trees, and a tower on the top. You could vaguely see some buildings with flying eaves and corners.
At first glance, Qi Xiang was a little disappointed: "That's Chicheng Mountain? It doesn't seem to be very good."
It is said that it is better to meet than to be famous than to be famous, and it is better to be famous than to meet. This Chicheng Mountain seems to be like this, which is very common.
In some classic records, the various renderings of the Akagi Fairyland must be extremely longing for. But when I really saw it, it seemed a bit unsatisfactory.
Qi Xiang muttered in her heart, but she didn't care too much. After all, time has changed, perhaps in ancient times, Chicheng Mountain was very beautiful. But with the development of the times, some scenery has changed and has become less pleasant, which is understandable.
The world changes, the white clouds and the vast dogs make people sigh.
The car didn't go to Chicheng Mountain either. When I was almost at the foot of the mountain, I followed a country road. After driving for a while, I stopped in a quiet and peaceful village.
"Is it here?" Qi Xiang got off the car and looked at it, and found that the village was near Chicheng Mountain. Looking from the distance from the village, you could vaguely see the ancient tower on the top of Chicheng Mountain.
At this moment, someone laughed and greeted him from afar: "Brother Qi, welcome..."
This is Wang Dong's voice...
Qi Xiang looked back and saw that it was true. Wang Dong had arrived early and walked over with two people.
"Brother Dong, I'm late, sorry." Qi Xiang greeted him.
"It's not too late, not too late at all." Wang Dong smiled and said, "I came here yesterday and make some arrangements in advance to welcome me."
"Brother Dong is so polite." Qi Xiang waved his hand and said, "I am a person who is not particular, just be as good as I am."
"How can that work? I have to travel thousands of miles to this trip. I will definitely have worked hard on the way. If I came here, I would not treat you well, and Boss Jiang would blame me."
Wang Dong reached out and hooked Qi Xiang's shoulder with a kind smile on his face: "Brother, I won't say much. I have prepared the wine and food, and I'm just waiting to welcome you."
Qi Xiang did not resist, so he followed Wang Dong into a house in the village.
Along the way, Qi Xiang found that the village was deserted and there were no people. It was just some elderly people who took their children to enjoy the cool air under the roots of the big trees at the entrance of the village. There were very few adults, and I don’t know if they were going out to work or working in the fields.
Wang Dong did not lie, he did prepare a sumptuous banquet.
Chicken, duck, fish, and 20 to thirty plates of dishes, filled the entire table. Some of them could not be put down, so they simply stacked them on the edges between the two plates, pressing one layer upon another, which was extremely rich.
Judging from the dishes, it should be customized directly from the hotel and then packaged.
"Brother, sit..." Wang Dong forced Qi Xiang to the main seat, then turned his head and waved: "Open the bottle and sprinkle it."
As soon as the bottle opened, a strong aroma of wine immediately spread. The sauce-flavored white wine of more than 50 degrees was poured on a glass cup the size of a thumb, and the essence was everywhere.
Wang Dong glanced sideways, but was very dissatisfied: "The cup is removed, and the bowl is changed!"
Qi Xiang's mouth twitched, and she said with a smile: "Brother Dong, are you planning to pour me over?"
"My brother is here, so you will have to have fun." Wang Dong smiled and said, "What is there a word? By the way, you are at home and you must let you eat and drink well, and you cannot neglect it."
"... I'll have to do some serious business later, so I'll save you this wine." Qi Xiang shook her head and said, "Drunk is a mistake."
"No hurry, let's drink first, it's not too late to talk about anything."
Wang Dong was like a hospitable owner, and directly brought a bowl of wine to Qi Xiang, then picked up a bowl himself and smiled and said, "Brother, I'll do it first..."
Wang Dong gusted and saw the bottom of a bowl of wine immediately. He hung upside down the bowl, only a slight drop.
Qi Xiang pondered for a while, Zhan Yan smiled and said, "Brother Dong is so full, then I will sacrifice my life to accompany the gentleman."
Qi Xiang saw that Wang Dong seemed to want to circle around. But he was not afraid. After all, he took the initiative in this matter. If Wang Dong wants to go around, then he would accompany him to see who is more anxious.
Thinking of this, Qi Xiang simply started eating and drinking. Wang Dong asked to drink, so he drank in small sips and asked to eat vegetables. He ate in big sips, just treating himself as a guest, and the guest followed the host's wishes.
Eat, drink, talk and laugh. From noon to afternoon, it was almost dusk. A large table of wine and food fell into everyone's stomachs, with a mess of cups and plates, and everyone was a little drunk.
"Old...brother..." Wang Dong's tongue was a little knotted: "It's really... a person shouldn't behave like a person. You can really drink... We will accept you... Let's go here today... another day... I'll drink with you... another day..."
Qi Xiang's face turned red and her forehead was steaming, but her mind was clearer: "Brother Dong, since we have been full, should we talk about the serious matter?"
"No hurry...no hurry..." Wang Dong stood up and shaking: "We will talk about this matter tonight... I'm a little dizzy... I'll go back to the room and lie for a while... Brother, you...you...it's free..."
Wang Dong burped, groped all the way to the wall and entered the room, and fell asleep, snoring like thunder.
Qi Xiang frowned and wiped away the sweat from her forehead. Looking around, she saw Wang Dong's group of younger brothers, who were drunk at this time, some were on the table with their arms, some were wearing chairs, and some were lying under the table, and they were tilted and turned around, not looking like they were.
"A bunch of shits, want to drink me, hum!" Qi Xiang's eyes were full of pride. In fact, he was also a little surprised. He seemed to have no such great alcohol tolerance before.
I couldn't figure it out and felt a little stuffy, so Qi Xiang simply walked outside. A few trees were planted at the door of the house, with lush branches and leaves, and the wind gently brushed by, bringing a hint of coolness.
Qi Xiang exhaled and his eyes wandered casually. Suddenly, he stopped and landed on Chicheng Mountain.
At this time, it was already dusk, and the sunset hangs on the top of the mountain. There were clouds in the sky, and the afterglow of the sunset turned red, like fire. For a moment, the purple air on the top of Chicheng Mountain was filled with mist, and the rays were filled with rays of light, dazzling and beautiful.
After watching for a while, Qi Xiang seemed to understand why the mountain was named Akagi.
It seems that Chicheng Mountain is a Danxia landform, and the earth color is a little red. Now, when the sunset shines, clouds and mist sway around the mountainside, the rays of clouds and rays are shrouded in harmony with the mountain colors, dazzling and gorgeous, as if it is a fairyland on earth.
Such landscapes are indeed worthy of praise from countless literati and scholars over the past thousands of years.
But the sunset is extremely beautiful, it is only near dusk.
When the sunset falls into the mountain, the sky becomes darker and even the best scenery disappears.
The moon is like water, and the night is deep.
Qi Xiang found an empty room in the house and was about to lie down to sleep. At this moment, he vaguely heard movement outside the door, and sat up in shock and looked at it intently.
"Tick answer!"
When the lights were on, Wang Dong walked in and whispered: "Brother, are you asleep?"
"No, Brother Dong, you are..." Qi Xiang was thinking about Wang Dong's purpose.
"It's good if you haven't slept, then let's go." Wang Dong waved his hand and said softly: "Go and see the goods."
"Hmm?" Qi Xiang was shocked, but she was silent on the surface. She turned over and got up and put on her shoes and socks.
When he left the door, he found that Wang Dong's younger brothers seemed to be woken up by him forcibly splashing water, and they all colluded and listless. But when he saw Wang Dong coming out, they immediately straightened their backs and were very energetic.
Wang Dong glanced at it and ordered: "Leave two people to guard the house, and the rest will go out with me."
Where to go?
Qi Xiang had questions in her heart, but remained silent. She followed Wang Dong and others all the way, left the village in the dark, and entered the mountains...
