Chapter 23 Today repeats yesterday's story (Part 2)

"Bah! You are a mangy dog!" At this point, "White Mudan" sighed faintly, remembering something unsatisfactory: "Oh... I think it's boring. Zhan Zhizhan, you stay with me.

Let’s take a stroll and talk, okay?”

The beauty begged softly, and Zhan Zhizhan naturally could not refuse. So, Zhan Zhizhan said with a smile: "Who is Yu Keying? To me, Yu Keying's words are an imperial edict! One sentence is definitely worth ten thousand words, how dare you

No. Shall we walk?"

"Ouch...when did you learn how to talk nonsense?" "White Peony" was so amused by Zhan Zhizhan that her branches trembled with laughter.

"Looking back and smiling, the sixth palace has no color." This is an eternal quatrain describing Concubine Yang in "Song of Everlasting Sorrow" by the great poet Bai Juyi of the Tang Dynasty. Although Zhan Zhizhan can only imagine Concubine Yang's peerless appearance, but

"White Peony"'s smile made his heart skip a beat. Zhan Zhizhan pretended to be serious, widened his eyes and said: "Conscience of heaven and earth! Yu Keying, you have to be fair, I am sincere, but everyone

It’s recognized by everyone! But, Yu Keying, you have to tell me, a real-minded person, what have you been doing these days when you haven’t gone home?"

"Bai Mudan" covered her mouth, lowered her head to avoid the sudden biting cold wind, took a breath and said with a smile: "I have been living with my fellow boatman in the boat yard, keeping her company. Last night, the two of us

We went to Zhaolin Park to see the ice lanterns together..."

"Zhaolin Park?" Zhan Zhizhan was very envious of "White Peony" for having the leisure to visit Zhaolin Park.

"Yeah, haven't you been to Zhaolin Park? If I knew you hadn't gone home, I would have asked you to go with me. Alas... the people in the port are so smart and have such dexterous hands. They took out the natural ice from the Songhua River and used saws to cut it.

Using simple tools such as chisels and soldering irons, various ice sculptures with different shapes were made. At night, these crystal clear ice sculptures and colored lights are cleverly combined. Wow, it is simply a fairy tale world, which makes people linger." "White Peony"

He glanced at Zhan Zhizhan and said enthusiastically.

Although Zhan Zhizhan has never been to Zhaolin Park, he occasionally came across information about Zhaolin Park and Pitou Ice Lanterns when he was supplementing his knowledge about "Laba Porridge" in the school library. Zhaolin Park was built in the early 20th century.

It was once called the "Red Cross Director's Garden" and is the oldest park in the city of Butou. In the 1930s, it was renamed "Daoli Park". Later, General Li Zhaolin was buried in the park after he was killed. To commemorate this anti-Japanese national hero, the park was

It was named "Zhaolin Park" on August 15, 1946.

Zhan Zhizhan happened to know the content of the words "White Peony". In order to show off his erudition and win the favor of the beauty, Zhan Zhizhan immediately burst into laughter: "Speaking of the ice lanterns at the port, Xiaosheng knows a little bit about it. Since ancient times,

They say, 'When you are ready, don't forget the man who dug the well.' Yu Keying, do you know who you need to thank for the ice lantern at the dock to be what it is today?"

Seeing "White Peony" shaking his head in confusion, Zhan Zhizhan became even more proud: "The ice lanterns in Butou are famous all over the world today. I need to thank Ren Zhongyi, who was the Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee and the First Secretary of the Party Committee of Butou in the 1960s. One day, Ren Zhongyi

I went to the incense shop to inspect the work and found that an old lady on the side of the road had lit a stick of foreign wax in a hollow ice cube made of cornstarch. The masses are the real heroes, but we ourselves are often childish and ridiculous. No.

If you understand this, you will not be able to obtain basic knowledge. After Ren Zhongyi chatted with the old lady, he realized that this is called the 'poor stick lamp'. It was the 'poor stick lamp' that inspired Ren Zhongyi!"

"White Peony" said with great emotion: "Oh...it turns out that the ice lanterns at the port have such a beautiful story! It turned out that the 'Qiongbangzi Lamp' inspired Ren Zhongyi. Is the 'Qiongbangzi Lamp' the current ice lantern? Why is it called

'Poor stick lamp'?"

"White Peony"'s shameless question played into Zhan Zhizhan's hands. He immediately shook his head and shouted in vain: "In its most primitive days, ice lanterns were actually invented by fishermen while fishing. Every winter, a thick layer of ice would form on the Songhua River.

The thick ice is like a tight ice cap covering the Songhua River, and this time happens to be the best season for fishing. Fishermen all know that as long as a hole is drilled on the ice, light and light will penetrate through the hole.

Fresh air. At this time, fish with strong phototaxis will gather together to breathe fresh air, and they will get into the net in the ice hole and cannot escape. If you can light a lamp in the hole in the ice at night,

The effect will be better. But there are no windproof tools before. Practice brings true knowledge, and the clever fishermen actually made a windproof lampshade out of ice."

"White Peony" nodded repeatedly and said, "The fishermen at the port are so smart! Is this windproof lampshade carved from ice?"

Zhan Zhizhan shook his head and said: "This kind of ice lampshade is not carved from natural ice. The winter in the port is so cold that even the air seems to solidify. The fishermen filled the feeder with water.

, wait until about two centimeters of ice has formed along the bucket, then drill a hole in the thin ice above, pour out the remaining water in the middle, and then bake it with fire along the upper wall of the bucket to make the bucket

When the ice is separated from the ice, a crystal-clear ice lampshade is made. Put this ice mask on a candle and it becomes the most primitive ice lamp. This kind of homemade ice lamp is called "poor stick" by the common people.

Later, some poor people made this kind of "poor stick lantern" and put it in front of their homes for fun during the New Year or on the night of the 15th day of the first lunar month because they couldn't afford lanterns but were unwilling to be lonely. Those rich people

Naturally, we are dismissive of this kind of 'poor stick lamp'."

The origin of the ice lanterns at the port mentioned by Zhan Zhizhan, "White Peony", was initially suspected to be made up by Zhan Zhizhan. However, the origin of the ice lanterns at the port mentioned by Zhan Zhizhan is very clear. If it is made up, it is necessary to

Only after editing more materials can such a complete story be compiled. "White Mudan" finally believed that Zhan Zhizhan was telling historical facts! She looked at Zhan Zhizhan with admiration and said: "Zhan Zhizhan, tell me

I’m afraid many people in the port don’t know the origin of the ice lanterns in the port, right? You are so knowledgeable!”

Zhan Zhizhan became even more enthusiastic about the praise of "White Peony". He nodded triumphantly and said, "That's nothing! Think about the past in the name of revolution. Forgetting history means betrayal! It was more than ten years ago.

In the past, thanks to the creative thinking of Ren Zhongyi and thousands of garden workers, the beautiful ice lantern scenery you see today is as beautiful as a fairy tale world!"

"White Peony" said with great yearning: "Yes! Senior Ren Zhongyi is really amazing, leaving such an excellent intangible cultural heritage to this world! Haha... Zhan Zhizhan, you are so great, you let me know about Bing Deng.

origin!"

"Great?" Zhan Zhizhan rolled his eyes and thought to himself: "Not thick-skinned and dark-hearted, these are the biggest taboos in picking up girls!"

In order to make "White Mudan" happy, Zhan Zhizhan stepped on the accelerator, making his brain like a car engine, reaching the highest speed in an instant. Just before he could remember how to make "White Mudan" happy, "White Mudan"

But he smiled and said: "Zhan Zhizhan, I heard that your classmate An Qi encountered a ghost in the toilet the night before she went home for the winter vacation? The rumor is that it was said that An Qi went to the toilet by herself in the middle of the night and squatted there.

As she was peeing happily, she suddenly felt her butt being scratched by something. An Qi looked down and saw a frighteningly white hand sticking out of the toilet, with blood-red nails on it...

…”

Zhan Zhizhan slapped his head and said, "That's not what happened. Bai Lieba was so frightened that she had a fever the next day! Teacher Liu advised her to keep her for a few days before leaving, but Bai Lieba's face was pale and lifeless.

She didn't do it either. Instead of saying that she was afraid of ghosts, she insisted that she had bought it 18 times with great difficulty. After refunding and exchanging the ticket, she had no seat. The next day, I sent her to the old station and sent her to the carriage.

.”

"White Peony" smiled and said: "What happened to An Qi is really weird. But the school said it was a big fallacy. It's pure nonsense. There are no ghosts in the world, and it's just mediocre people who disturb themselves! Call on the students to establish a correct world view of dialectical materialism.

, Don’t spread rumors, don’t believe them. In order to calm the students’ emotions, the counselor of our class, Teacher Wei, specifically cited the example of Zheng Zaihao and others from your class who pretended to be ghosts when they first entered the military training. They wanted to scare the female classmates, but instead

It was an embarrassing incident where I was scared to death by a few female classmates. However, no matter what the school and Teacher Wei said, those of us girls who didn't go home were so scared that we didn't dare to go to the toilet at night. Otherwise

, I can go to the boat yard to keep company with my fellow villagers. Haha... I asked Zhan Zhizhan, is there something wrong with your class? Why the hell does this kind of thing happen in your class?"

"White Peony" teased Zhan Zhizhan a few words. Seeing Zhan Zhizhan's embarrassment, she held her belly in her hands and laughed so hard.

When "Bai Lieba" went to the toilet in the middle of the night and encountered a ghost, not to mention the female classmates, even the male classmates all had goosebumps on their hairs. Several classmates who were in the same dormitory as Zhan Zhizhan were even scared into silence.

, never dare to discuss this matter.

Zhan Zhizhan smiled bitterly and said: "Old Zheng and the others have made great efforts. This is called doing one's own evil and not being able to survive! In fact, in "Shuowen Jiezi", the word "ghost" is explained like this: "Ghosts, return home"

That is, its essence returns to the sky, its flesh returns to the earth, its blood returns to water, its veins return to rivers, its sound returns to thunder, its movements return to wind, its eyes return to the sun and moon, its bones return to wood, its sinews return to mountains, its teeth return to stone, and its ointment returns to dew.

The hair returned to grass, and the breath turned into undead and returned to the netherworld. "Bai Lieba" thought so much in her little head that she frightened herself. She also said that her grandfather was Feng Shui.

Sir, so, she has known a little bit about Feng Shui since she was a child. She has seen some supernatural things since she was a child, which are difficult to explain. She also told me that there is something wrong with the building in your dormitory. It belongs to Feng Shui.

A sinister place. He also said that he once dreamed that there was an unnamed grave under the foundation of dormitory 309. A tree grew out of the grave with tangled roots. Although it had been cut down, its root system was extremely strong. Later, the grave was eradicated and this building was built.

, the lonely ghosts in the graves come out to harm people."

"White Peony" was so frightened that she shivered and said: "It's alarmist! How can it be so scary? I said Zhan Zhizhan, please don't spread rumors randomly! I am the only one left in our dormitory, and I don't even have to go to the toilet."

Dare you try to scare me to death!"

"Then you move into my dormitory. My dormitory is mine alone! I have a strong yang energy, so no ghosts or evil spirits dare to rely on me!" These words almost came from Zhan Zhizhan's mouth.

Zhan Zhizhan reluctantly swallowed this boring joke and was about to comfort "White Mudan". Suddenly, a burst of applause came from the direction of the skating rink in the distance, interrupting his conversation with "White Mudan".
