Chapter Fifty-fourth, Touring the Mountains and Playing in the Water
The two-day meeting was completed in half a day. On the second day, the municipal government office organized the participants to visit the Xianren Cave Scenic Area.
There is a hill five miles east of Fengjiang County. There is a cave at the foot of the mountain. The entrance of the cave is more than eight meters high and five meters wide. The stone wall above the cave entrance is engraved with the four characters "Dongtian Blessed Land". The cave is unfathomable and there is a dark place inside.
The river flows gurgling all year round. Legend has it that this place is connected to Tianchi in Changbai Mountain.
The god who guards this fairy cave has a human face, a snake body, and red skin. The body is more than a thousand miles long. The eyes are very special, standing upright like two olives. When they are closed, they form two straight slits.
. This god has great power. As long as he opens his eyes, the world becomes daytime. As soon as he closes his eyes, darkness falls on the earth. When he breathes in, the clouds will thicken, the snow falls, and it becomes winter. When he breathes out, the sun will turn bright again.
The scorching heat, golden gravel, and summer.
He crouched there without eating, drinking, sleeping, or breathing - his breath became the wind that stretched thousands of miles. His magical power could also illuminate the darkness of Jiuchong Spring. Legend has it that he often held a candle and illuminated it in the north.
It is in the dark Tianmen, so the local people call it "Zhuyin". There is a big river below it, so Fengjiang County got its name.
Of course, this is just a legend and cannot be trusted.
At the end of the Ming Dynasty and the beginning of the Qing Dynasty, a geography gentleman who claimed to have "eyes on the earth" traveled here. He looked at Houlong and Mianmian Mountain, and repeatedly praised: "Good place! Good place! The five tigers face the water. Fifty years later,
If there is no great nobleman here, there must be great wealth!"
However, hundreds of years later, the people here have been working hard on the black soil for generations, and no one has become an official.
However, it is precisely because of these legends that Fengjiang County has become the main tourist area in the county after the reform and opening up.
There are various types of conferences, so it’s natural to browse them when you get here.
Several luxury buses stopped.
Xiao Zixin followed Director Zhang. After getting off the car, the group looked around with interest and stretched their waists.
"Director Zhang, have you been here before?" Xiao Zixin is a smart man, and smart people don't suffer. He wants to take advantage of the opportunity of meeting Director Zhang alone to get closer to him.
"Oh, this is the first time." He turned around and greeted his companions with a smile, "It's a nice little place with its own characteristics. There are quite capable people in Fengjiang County."
"Well, Director Zhang, you said you would go back this time. Will all government departments pay attention to information work in the future?" Even after entering the cave, looking here and walking there, Xiao Zixin followed step by step.
When Director Zhang is around, he often takes the opportunity to inquire about the truth and ask about things related to his work.
In his view, only by finding out the leader's background in advance can he have a clear picture of his work when he returns home, and can he bring the government affairs information meeting back to attract the leader's attention.
"Yes," Director Zhang nodded casually, touching a strange-shaped stone and said, "Didn't you listen to what Deputy Mayor Chen and Secretary-General Wang of the municipal government said at this meeting? One is that each
Regions, counties and municipal governments must first vigorously and conscientiously implement government information work, pay close attention to it, and achieve results. Second, specific work must closely focus on the current work situation and provide high-quality services for leadership decision-making."
"Yes," Xiao Zixin nodded humbly, indicating that he had taken note of it.
The Immortal Cave is indeed magical. These government officials from the four counties, three districts and one city in the city are very familiar with it, and they are talking about it inside and outside the cave. The tourists are visiting these brightly dressed and energetic cadres, but Xiao Zixin has a good idea.
The image is not about those wonderful caves and related legends, but there are other things on my mind.
Director Zhang revealed a piece of information to him. Director Zhang said that there may be a major personnel adjustment in the county government office recently. Director Guo Caifeng may be transferred to the county Women's Federation as director, and other secretarial departments, general departments, financial departments, and logistics departments
, a small team, except for the small team and finance, may need to change people, the section chiefs are all new.
"Uh!" Xiao Zixin was secretly surprised.
This was really unexpected, but then he thought of himself. As for who to replace, Director Zhang didn't say, and he was too embarrassed to ask further.
In fact, he was able to tell such a confidential thing to his little secretary, and he was probably not treated as an outsider. When he heard that Guo Caifeng was leaving, Xiao Zixin was secretly happy. For some reason, from the time he came to the government office, he had been
I have more contact with Director Zhang, but less contact with Guo Caifeng. This is partly because Director Zhang is in charge of the comprehensive department, and partly because Director Zhang is a male and is more easy-going in dealing with people and has no official airs.
As for Guo Caifeng, apart from the fact that she is a woman, she is a bit neurotic during menopause, and she is also difficult to get along with. This is the impression she left on Xiao Zixin.
It seems that he is with the right person. They say that when working in an agency, it is important to line up and follow the right person. Unintentionally, he and Director Zhang have developed a lot of personal feelings at work, and Director Zhang looks like
I also think highly of him...
"You are young and well-educated, so you will do well in our government. The leaders are also very satisfied with your performance. You work hard..."
"Well, thank you, Director Zhang."
After dinner, they did not go to Miaoling Mountain because they found out that it was too far away, and the towering green mountains and green waters could be seen from a distance from Yexi. They just didn’t know if there were any sightseeing buses, and they might have to spend a lot of money.
, the two of them were worried that it would be boring, and they were also worried that they would not be able to come back in the afternoon after a long time, so Director Zhang and Xiao Zixin discussed it and decided to just play in the river near Xianren Cave, see the ancestral hall, rafting and so on...
The top of an unknown hill is overgrown with weeds and desolate.
The temple has collapsed, leaving only ruins and broken walls.
It was already afternoon. As for the age of this building, and how Director Zhang and Xiao Zixin got there in a daze, they still have difficulty explaining it. They only remember feeling weird at the time, asking where the Eight Immortals were and where Qingshan was.
Boundless, no one answered. Maybe they have ascended to heaven to enjoy happiness, maybe they are traveling around, rescuing people in need...
I really envy the freedom of gods. Can I become a god?
I asked the monk where he was going, and the spring water next to the temple was gurgling. Like the sound of wooden fish, like bursts of chanting sutras... Haha, for a moment, Xiao Zixin really wanted to be a monk here for the rest of his life!
However, once he recovered from his trance, he still felt that officialdom was good.
Looking forward, there are mountains and mountains, with continuous ups and downs. Each mountain is higher than the other. It is endless and I don’t know where it extends. Is this the same with human desires?
It was the mountain that blocked his desire, and he gave up the idea of becoming a god or a monk.
Or be an ordinary civil servant! If you can climb up step by step, although the process is slow and difficult, it is also full of challenges and fun. Moreover, during an afternoon conversation with Director Zhang, Xiao Zixin expressed his deep understanding of his family and other
We also have a better understanding of many things.
Director Zhang is originally the son of a farmer. He has served as deputy director in the county over the years, but he still has deep feelings for farmers in his heart. Xiao Zixin is different. Although he is also the son of a farmer, he only finds government work novel and fun.
Full of curiosity and various desires for officialdom. At the foot of the mountain, cows moo, plows clank, and cuckoos burst. After a whole winter of hard work, the farmers at the foot of Donggang Ridge gain new hope in the moldy mood of plowing.
, begins a new next mile: sowing life, sowing hope, sowing light...
They look at the farmers from a distance, and the farmers look at them. They work hard here and multiply. They stick to it from beginning to end: stick to a poignant legend, stick to a bloody elf, stick to a barren land, stick to
An immortal belief...
Pick a piece of flower petal, put it in your mouth and chew it gently. It is sour and astringent, with the taste of blood and tears.
The story of the cuckoo crying blood has long gone away from us. The people at the foot of the mountain are dyeing it red with blood, tears and sweat!
Mountain fog...
Most of the time, the nearby mountains are always shrouded in mountain fog.
Xiao Zixin holds a digital camera, and the mountain fog on the ridge is ever-changing and colorful. Sometimes it is like a well-fitted hat, casually worn on the top of the mountain, showing the majesty and majesty of the mountain; sometimes it is like a coarse cloth commonly used by men in the mountains.
The sweater is tightly tied to the mountainside, showing the simplicity and elegance of the mountain; sometimes it is like a leather scarf commonly used by women in the mountains, gently wrapped around the ridge, showing the agility and charm of the mountain; sometimes it is like a light dress
The gauze skirt cleverly covers the mountain body, showing the hazy and ethereal appearance of the mountain.
Sometimes it is like a woven winter skirt, covering most of the mountain, and only the beautiful foot of the mountain is exposed, showing the elegance and dignity of the mountain; sometimes it is like a thick quilt or a cotton robe or a
An ancient gown tightly covers the entire mountain, showing the mystery and fantasy of the mountain - at this time, the mountain is invisible, and one can only imagine what the mountain looks like based on memory.
"Director Zhang, smile! Smile!"
“Say—eggplant!”
"Pop!" When Xiao Zixin used the aperture to capture Director Zhang into the camera, Xiao Zixin felt that it was the most exciting moment.
