Usually when tourists visit Shantang Street, they can usually only see five stone statues at most, because the location of the last two stone statues has exceeded the traditional Shantang Street area, respectively at the bridgehead of Wangshan Bridge and Xishan Temple Bridge to the west of Huqiu.
. Shantang Street is very long. It is more than seven miles in total from Changmen. It ends when you reach Tiger Hill. At this point, tourists can either turn right and enter the famous Tiger Hill Sword Pond to visit, or take a boat and turn back. There are not many people who continue walking forward.
.
Even if they visit Tiger Hill first, most people will turn to Shantang Street after leaving Tiger Hill and rarely go in the other direction, so they will not see the last two stone civet statues.
Cheng Tianle, accompanied by Liu Shujun, wandered for more than seven miles, from Changmen to the main entrance of Huqiu Scenic Area. This place was very busy with people coming and going, so he turned around and asked: "
Where do so many people come from, and there are so many foreigners, where are they over there?"
Liu Shujun replied lightly: "That's Tiger Hill over there. It's just an ancient pagoda on the mountain. No one is allowed to go up there. It's crowded with people. There's nothing interesting... Let's go forward and continue shopping."
Jianchi Huqiu, known as the most famous scenic spot in Wuzhong, was described by Liu Shujun as meaningless in just a few words. I wonder if Su Dongpo, who once wrote "It would be a pity to go to Suzhou without visiting Huqiu", would have heard this.
Did your nose become crooked with anger? Cheng Tian was so happy that he couldn't get in, and he even laughed happily.
It’s not that Tiger Hill isn’t worth visiting. Liu Shujun didn’t take Cheng Tianle in. The reason is that you need to buy a ticket to enter Tiger Hill, which costs 60 yuan a ticket! Save it if you can.
Continuing forward, you have left Shantang Street. There is an alley along the river. Most of the alleys are small shops selling various tourist souvenirs. Going further near Wangshan Bridge, there are several so-called waterside farmers.
Most of the restaurants are catering to tourists from out of town, because people should be tired and hungry when they come here. When you get to Wangshan Bridge and look forward, you will see an ordinary stone alley by the river. This is an old residential area, with only a slight
A messy old house with no attractions and no tourists. It’s time for Cheng Tianle and the others to turn back.
MLM gangs "pick up new friends". If people arrive early, they can take them to Shantang Street to shop from beginning to end. In addition to not spending money, it actually has another effect, that is, it can keep people here.
Shantang Street is long enough. From Changmen to Wangshan Bridge to the west of Huqiu, it is nearly four kilometers. It is all walking on stone slabs, and it is impossible to walk too fast. It will take at least an afternoon. Wait until you finish shopping.
You must be tired and hungry, and it will be dark after eating. At this time, you can naturally take the person back to "rest".
Even if the people who were deceived were suspicious, it was dark and tired at that time. After some kind solicitation and invitation, they would most likely go back with them. When MLM gangs engage in "business development", they must not only
The first step has to be completed if someone tricked someone and brought him back to the place of residence. We can’t let the “new friend” realize something is wrong as soon as he gets off the bus and have the chance to turn around and leave.
When we walked to Wangshan Bridge, the heat was almost over. Liu Shujun held Cheng Tianle's arm tightly and said, "Handsome boy, are you tired? We have been shopping all afternoon, and it's getting late. Let's go eat."
It was very hot, and she was certainly tired after walking for almost eight miles. Looking at Yu Fei with a backpack behind her, he was already sweating. Cheng Tianle was tricked by Yu Fei, and Yu Fei was thinking about how to trick Cheng Tianle along the way.
He stayed and joined their industry and became his downline. He had no intention of seeing any scenery, not to mention that he had already visited this Shantang Street many times.
But Cheng Tianle shook his head and said: "No hurry, no rush, now that you are here, let's take a walk!...Xiao Liu, are you tired? Come on, come on, I will help you walk!...Hey, here
There is another strange stone statue. I have seen several of them along the way... There is also a bridge ahead, and there seems to be a stone statue at the end of the bridge. Let's go and have a look!"
Yu Fei, who was carrying a backpack on his back, almost sat down on the ground. Although taking Cheng Tianle to visit Shantang Street was a plan arranged by the MLM gang in advance, in order to successfully deceive people back to the gang's headquarters, Cheng Tianle was too playful and had already
He has walked almost four kilometers, isn't he tired? He still has to go shopping, and there is nothing lively or interesting ahead!
As Cheng Tianle spoke, he already put his arms around Liu Shujun's slim waist and walked straight to the Xishan Temple Bridge further away. This action seemed a bit like deliberately trying to eat girls. But today Liu Shujun hugged his arms as soon as he saw him.
Without being rude, Cheng Tianle was not pretentious at all, and he couldn't tell who was eating whose tofu. On the contrary, Liu Shujun was startled and had to move forward after being half-hugged by him.
Yu Fei quickly caught up and said, "There's nothing in front of you. There's really nothing to see! ... Look, there are alleys in residential areas over there!"
Cheng Tianle was still enjoying himself and said, "These statues are quite interesting. Where did they come from?"
Liu Shujun explained: "It is said that under the Shantang River is Zhang Shicheng's dragon vein. Has Zhang Shicheng heard of it? Later, Zhu Yuanzhang sent Liu Bowen to Suzhou and erected seven civet cat statues along the Shantang River to suppress the dragon vein. Shantang Street was also called Qili.
Shantang Street... In fact, it's all rumored among the people, and it doesn't happen at all. These civet cat statues are all newly built, and there's nothing interesting about them."
Cheng Tianle's eyes widened: "There are seven civet cat statues? Why have I only seen five so far? I paid attention on the road. I shouldn't have missed them. There must be two more ahead! Let's go and look for them. Since they are seven civet cats,
Shantang Street, it’s not easy to come here, of course I have to find all the Qili!”
Yu Fei panted from behind and said: "Cheng Tianle, don't go forward. Let's go to eat. There is really nothing in front of you. You must have missed it!"
But Cheng Tianle shook his head and said: "No, there is a bridge ahead. There seems to be a big stone next to the bridge, which should be the civet cat statue. The road is not far, and you are here. Let's go and have a look."
Liu Shujun and Yu Fei had no choice but to follow Cheng Tianle to the Xishan Temple Bridge. Compared with the scenic spot they walked through in the afternoon, it looked much more desolate and deserted. There were no people around. As expected, there was a stone cat statue at the head of the bridge. The carving was very rough and the shape was very rough.
It is very abstract and simple. If you don't say it is a stone cat, it is difficult to tell that it is a civet cat statue.
Cheng Tianle said with a smile: "This cat has such a big head. Is its body buried in the soil?... There seems to be no one here. Let's go forward and find the last cat."
Yu Fei was about to turn bitter. At this moment, an old lady crossing the bridge accidentally helped him. The old lady must be a nearby resident. She saw several outsiders gathered around the stone statue and talked about it.
Suzhou Mandarin, which has a strong dialect, said: "There are no more in front. This is the last stone statue. Counting from here, there are seven in total."
Cheng Tianle nodded when he heard this and said: "Oh, it turns out to be the last one. It seems that I really missed one!" Yu Fei finally breathed a sigh of relief. If Cheng Tianle insisted on looking further, he would not be able to find it even if it was dark.
ah.
Since it was the last stone statue, Cheng Tianle stopped and looked at it carefully. He stretched out his hand and touched the round forehead of the stone statue and said: "Civet cat? Are you really a cat? But you don't look like it at all. Who carved you like this?"
Ugly? You have a pig's nose and your mouth is so big? What's your name..."
Yu Fei and Liu Shujun looked at each other with helpless expressions on their faces. This Cheng Tianle was really different from the other people the gang had deceived before. He had been wandering around for so long inexplicably after getting out of the car. He must have become impatient at this moment.
I kept asking: "Where is your company?... It's getting late, let's leave quickly!... I came here on leave. If the position is not suitable, I have to rush back...
"
But Cheng Tianle was not anxious at all. Instead, he had a lot of fun. After walking such a long way, it was almost getting dark. He was still talking to the stone statue with great interest, and while talking, he reached out and touched it. Yu Fei just thought
Advising Cheng Tianle to go back early, he suddenly heard Cheng Tianle let out an exclamation. He couldn't stand firmly and fell softly on the stone statue. He quickly stepped forward and shouted: "Cheng Tianle, what's the matter with you?"
When he was lying down just now, the tip of the stone statue's nose hurt Cheng Tianle's stomach. He rubbed his stomach and stood up straight: "This stone statue seems to be electrified. I was shocked and felt an electric current going into my head.
I feel so dizzy that I fell down all of a sudden! ...No, no, it’s either electric shock or dizziness. I seem to hear the stone statue speaking, didn’t you hear it?”
Liu Shujun hurriedly held his arm and said: "Handsome guy, you must be tired. You haven't eaten after walking around for such a long time. It's normal to feel dizzy! ... Look, are you hallucinating? Let's find a place to eat quickly.
, and then go back to the company to rest."
Cheng Tianle rubbed his temples and said: "I seem to be very dizzy, my head is buzzing! We have been shopping for a long time, are you hungry too? Let's go to eat! After eating, go back and have a good sleep. Your company has
Empty dormitory?”
Liu Shujun nodded quickly and said: "The dormitory has been prepared a long time ago. There is a place for you to sleep. Let's go and eat quickly! ...The company dormitory is next to Shantang Street. We will just walk back for a while."
A few people turned around and walked back. When they passed Wangshan Bridge, there were several restaurants nearby. Cheng Tianle suggested: "There happens to be Suzhou specialty farm food, let's eat here."
But Liu Shujun shook his head and said: "What kind of Suzhou specialty farm food! At the entrance of Huqiu Scenic Area, they are all made to fool outsiders. They are expensive and not delicious... Now that a handsome guy like Manager Cheng is here, I must try the real one."
It’s a century-old brand in Suzhou, and it’s right in front of Shantang Street. We’re passing by anyway, so I’ll treat you to a meal at Rongyang Restaurant.” Without any explanation, he pulled Cheng Tianle away from the door of the hotel, passed through the main entrance of Huqiu Scenic Area, and returned to the mountain.
Tang Street.
The section to the west of Shantang Street Railway Bridge has not undergone large-scale commercial development. It is still an old residential area and retains the appearance of Suzhou’s old streets and alleys. The restaurants here are much cheaper than those at Wangshan Bridge, so Liu Shujun and
Yu Fei wants to bring Cheng Tianle here for dinner.
The setting sun shines on the Shantang River, and the waves reflect the scenery on both sides. The scenery is very good, but Cheng Tianle has no intention to look at it. He is really dizzy, stars seem to be appearing in front of his eyes, and his head is buzzing. He just touched the stone civet statue.
When he was walking, he didn't know what was going on, but he suddenly felt that everything in front of him was empty, as if all the scenes had disappeared, and he only saw a swirling chaos. There was a voice that seemed to be speaking to him, but he couldn't hear what it was at all.
Cheng Tianle's hand was originally on the head of the stone statue, and his eyes seemed to be empty. He couldn't control his weight and leaned on the stone statue. He felt that his body was invaded by an electric current. It must be that his belly hit the tip of the civet cat statue's nose, and there was another
An indescribable feeling seems to have invaded my mind.
