After breakfast, we continued on our way.

This time it was Li Maoyang who drove for more than an hour, and then Aria and Qiao Guoguo took turns driving.

However, the three of them were not familiar with the road to Shenshu County, so they all used the navigation system.

The car drove along the navigation route. On the way, Li Canyang called Li Maoyang and told them that they had arrived in Shenshu County and asked them to drive carefully on the road.

Hubei City is only nearly one-third of the distance from Shenshu County to Li Maoyang and others, so it was natural to go there early.

However, they also entered Shenshu County at around ten o'clock.

As far as the eye can see, there are mountains everywhere, and there are a lot of coal trucks on the road.

Therefore, I heard that there are as many big and small bosses here as there are crucian carp crossing the river.

Li Maoyang heard that one of his brothers here was in his fifties, named Li Rongchang, and he was also a very famous big boss here.

I heard from Li Canyang that although Li Rongchang's company is not as famous as Liang Wenhe's Zhaoli Group, his personal net worth seems to be richer than Liang Wenhe's.

With so much money, Li Maoyang has no idea.

Therefore, he couldn't say he was envious or not.

The car enters the county town.

At first glance it looks very cramped.

The entire county is divided into a long strip by mountains on both sides. Looking at the map, from east to west, there are only four or five north-south streets.

However, the street inside is really prosperous, especially the high-rise buildings and busy traffic on the main street. If you only take a street scene, it will be similar to the scene of Xiang Island in the movie.

Using the navigation system, Qiao Guoguo drove the car to a Ronghua Hotel reported by Li Canyang.

The nearly twenty-story hotel is considered a high-end hotel in the entire Shenshu County.

"It's a hotel under the name of Brother Rongchang. It seems that the debt needs to be paid back." Li Canyang, who came out to pick them up, said, "The opening ceremony of the clan meeting tomorrow will be held here too."

"Is it free to stay here?" Li Maoyang asked.

"You can." Li Canyang rolled his eyes at him, "It's just a fair price. I heard that my eldest brother donated more than 20 million to this clan meeting, but it was mainly used to build ancestral halls and ancestral tombs. We are here to participate in the clan meeting this time.

The donation is a voluntary donation."

"The ancestral hall and ancestral tombs have already been built, so why should we donate money?"

"There are also some other small projects."

"How much is your family planning to donate?"

"My dad said to donate 10,000. What about you?"

"Your eldest son and my second son can donate five thousand," Li Maoyang said calmly, "Or two thousand, too."

"Maoyang, come back at least once. Don't be so petty. It's not like you don't have money now. Don't let the people here look down on us from E City."

"What can you do if you look too high, but what can you do if you look down upon." Li Maoyang sneered, "For your father's sake, just donate five thousand."

…

With that said, the cousins ​​went to the hotel front desk to book rooms, one for Li Maoyang and one for Qiao Guoguo and Aria.

Then the four of them entered the elevator, went up to the fifth floor, opened the room and took a look first, and then Li Maoyang followed Li Canyang to meet his eldest father and cousin.

His cousin Li Meirong also came.

This is rare.

Probably also to increase the weight of their family here in E City.

Anyway, Li Meirong, a graduate student at a key university in Kyoto, is still very capable in this kind of family gathering in neighboring regions.

This clan gathering is said to be about tracing one’s roots and ancestors and gathering family ties. In fact, some clan gatherings also have people with various motives, including the psychology of comparison and showing off, just like classmates’ gatherings.

Places with many people are complicated, and the same is true when a group of family members gather together.

In the room where Uncle Li Maoyang lived, several people were sitting chatting with each other.

His cousin Li Meirong was looking at a sample genealogy. It was said that the organizing committee of the clan association here was seeking their opinions.

Of course, this kind of solicitation for opinions means that the clan organizing committee selects a few outstanding people in the family to take a look.

Li Maoyang's eldest father is a member of the system, and his daughter is a graduate student at a key university in Kyoto, so he will naturally seek their opinions.

Li Maoyang went over and took a look and found that his parents' names and his were also on it. His eldest father should have told the clan association organizing committee here in advance.

His eldest father introduced him to several members of the family present. He only mentioned his home address and mentioned Li Maoyang's current status as a rural Chinese medicine doctor, but these people did not pay attention to him.

So Li Maoyang exchanged perfunctory greetings with these people.

These people are all middle-aged, and it is normal for Li Maoyang, a young man in his early twenties, not to attract their attention.

Naturally, there is nothing in common to talk about.

Li Maoyang immediately withdrew, went back to the room to lie down for a while, and then took Qiao Guoguo and Aria out for dinner.

Li Canyang and the others had already had lunch, but Li Canyang still accompanied them to dinner.

"Aren't you busy taking the postgraduate entrance exams? Do you still have time to attend this clan meeting?"

During the meal, Li Maoyang asked Li Canyang.

"My dad asked me to come and see this place. I will go back to school and work hard when I get back." Li Canyang said, "Is the clinic busy during this time?"

"Not bad." Li Maoyang nodded.

Of course he wouldn't say that I can't stand it anymore since you left.

After dinner, I went back to the hotel for a lunch break.

In the afternoon, Li Maoyang and three people from his eldest father's family went to visit the temples on Erlang Mountain.

When his eldest father saw that he was bringing two beautiful girls with him this time, he was puzzled, confused and sighed. He also looked at his son Li Canyang in comparison.

His cousin Li Meirong winked directly at Li Maoyang, which meant cousin, please take it easy.

This made Li Maoyang's body stand up one after another.

Erlangshan Temple is located on Erlang Mountain, 1 km west of Shenshu County.

This is a must-visit place when you come to Shenshu County.

The entire temple complex was built in the Ming and Qing dynasties. It is built on the ridge of a stone mountain that is as steep as a knife on both sides running north to south. It stretches for more than one kilometer in front and back, making it a spectacular sight.

Climbing the steps from the bottom of the mountain to the top of the mountain, the main buildings include the Dizang Cave, the Eight Immortals Cave, the Haoran Pavilion, the Erlang Temple, the Notre Dame Hall, the Sitting Guanyin Hall, the Sanjiao Hall, the Shanshen Temple, etc.

Along the way, you sometimes need to burn incense and pray, and then put some money according to your own wishes.

Walking all the way and then back again, when you get back to the bottom of the mountain, your legs are tired from walking.

However, the solemn feeling that lingered in my heart would not fade away after going down the mountain. Even a fool like Li Maoyang would never dare to say a word of profanity.

The rich sense of history and culture intertwined with Zongmao culture gives people a feeling that Li Maoyang has never experienced in his whole life.

It wasn't until I left Erlang Mountain and returned to the street that the solemn and solemn feeling gradually faded away.

"Is there any famous Chinese medicine doctor here?"

Li Maoyang asked Li Canyang, who was sitting in the back seat with him.

"You haven't had enough? Come out for a walk and don't mention the word doctor, okay?" Li Canyang said disappointedly.

"There's nothing good to see in this place anymore?" Li Maoyang said.

"Why not? There are ruins of the Yang family, two sections of the Great Wall of the Ming Dynasty, and Hongjiannao Lake. There are many interesting places. Where do you want to go?"

“How far is Hongjiannao Lake?”

"It's more than a hundred miles from here."

"That's too far."

"How far is it? It's less than two hours away."

"Where do you want to go?" Li Maoyang asked Qiao Guoguo and Aria in front.

"How big is Hongjiannao Lake?" Qiao Guoguo asked.

"I heard it's very big, but I don't know how big it is exactly. It would be great to take a boat trip back to the lake," Li Canyang said.

When Qiao Guoguo and Aria heard what Li Canyang said, they both wanted to go to Hongjian Nao Lake.

So Li Canyang called his sister in another car, and then he used his mobile phone to search for Hongjiannao Lake from the navigation system, and the two cars went straight to Hongjiannao Lake.
