Zhejiang Lishui Liandu District over the mountain temple village, to the third day here, Debon Logistics called me, said that the package arrived, asked me where I am, to deliver the door. I reported the address, and the courier said, "I've never heard of it, so pick it up yourself!" ”
After hanging up the phone, I stood on the balcony of Huaiyujie's house, and all I could see was ponds, peaks, bamboo forests and farmland, but there was no one. Such a place, the courier does have a reason not to know.
The dean, Huaiyu, and Da long lived here for several years, the longest Huaiyu lived for six years, and the late Da Long lived for nearly three years.
A former real estate executive, a woman who runs a business with her husband in Shanghai, and a graphic designer living in Guilin, formed the last family in the village by chance before the temple completely disappeared.
Huaiyu's diary
Huaiyu
Because I wanted to write their stories, I got a lot of "privileges", including Huaiyujie taking the initiative to show me her diary.
Huai Yujie felt that she was an outlier, and she wrote in her diary that she did not like to wear socks in winter, but when she was in the city, too many people would say to her: "Look at you don't wear socks, I'm cold!" In order not to make others feel cold, she compromised.
There are more such things, and Huai Yujie said to her husband: "After decades, I still can't integrate into urban life." ”
The brother-in-law asked Huaiyu: "You don't like Shanghai, so what kind of life do you want?" ”
Huaiyu said: "A few acres of thin fields, a few friends, an old house full of flowers in front of the door, enough, enough." ”
In 2013, Guoshandian Village was facing the fate of being demolished as a whole, and other families in the village were relocated to Umbrella Gang Village next to the G330 National Highway, and Huaiyu yin and yang after returning to their hometown became the last family in Guoshandian by mistake.
The old mansion when Huai Yu just returned to the village
Who is Huaiyu? From a young age, she learned to make wine with her parents, and at the age of 6, she was sent to the hospital for rescue because she was drunk. After entering the mountains, brewing wine, planting flowers, and opening farms, although she was poor, she still lived a hot life, and some people in the outside world began to pay attention to her.
The hope of the whole village
In 2013, the dean was also an executive of a real estate company, "living his life in the golden age" through the middle of the buildings that rose from the ground, working decently, with a stable income, and steadily moving towards worldly success.
Through the introduction of a friend, the dean learned of Huaiyu's farm in the Mountain Hall, so he took his parents into the mountain to play. On the first night of their arrival, the dean and Huaiyu chatted in the old house until more than 11 o'clock in the evening, and Huaiyu yawned and went to sleep first.
dean
The newcomer stole a bottle of yew wine and fumbled to the pond. Recalling his state of mind at that time, the dean said: "The moon that night was particularly bright, hanging in the middle of the mountain, and the moonlight sprinkled on the pond, and I drank alone until 3 o'clock. ”
"And later?" I asked.
Huaiyu on the side smiled first and said, "Later, I got drunk and was chased and bitten all the way by Wangcai, and I almost couldn't come back." ”
The dean smiled awkwardly and took a small sip of bayberry wine.
......
"When did you decide to plague the Mountain Temple?"
Now the old house
In 2015, the dean resigned from a thousand-acre tourism project in Xitang Water Township. He said: "The Project of Xitang is very beautiful, across the lake from Xitang Ancient Town, you can swing to Xitang by rocking boat." But as we do it, it becomes real estate again, and the agility of the original idea is gradually lost, and replaced by a rigid routine. ”
The Xitang project was not ambitious, and the dean turned his eyes to the dilapidated and depressed mountain hall, and in this virgin land, he was allowed to realize the design in his heart. So he took all his belongings into the Mountain Hall, determined to be the hope of the whole village (in fact, there was only one Huaiyu family left in the village).
The third villager of the Temple, Da Long, carried a bag of abc sanitary napkins into the mountain.
Da Long was the dean's design party B, and at a regular meeting between A and B, the dean said to Da Long meaningfully: "There is a woman living in Lishui Mountain, you must go to see her." ”
Great Dragon
Da Long, who returned home, thought about it for two days, felt that the words of the big guy of Party A were very meaningful, and resolutely decided to go into the mountains to find out.
Before leaving, a friend of Da Long's fooled him into saying that the mountains were isolated from the world, and sanitary napkins were the most popular for women to bring gifts. The kind Dalong really believed, so he walked into a commissary next to the Shanghai Railway Station and bought out the sanitary napkins of the store, which was a greeting gift for Huaiyu.
Overlooking the mountain hall
Huaiyu gladly accepted Dalong's meeting gift, saying that "abc" was indeed his usual brand, and quickly classified Dalong as his own people, and the next day took him to do a big thing that only his own people could do.
There was a dilapidated house in Sanwangling, not far from the Mountain Hall, and the original owner entered the city, emptied most of the furniture, and left some abandoned old things, huaiyu had been hungry for a long time.
Da Long: "Isn't that just stealing?" ”
Huaiyu: "Blindly said, the items have not been used for a long time will cause resentment, I am going to save them, it is a good thing!" ”
Da Long thought about it for a while, and there was nothing wrong with the logic, so he added Da Long's girlfriend and the three of them sneaked into the old mansion together. A mat that they had rescued at the time was now pressed under the glass panels of two or three rooms and decorated. A clay pot and a broken bowl were full of succulents.
To a certain extent, we all really believe in Huaiyu's logic.
The broken clay pot that Huaiyu stole back
On the train back to Shanghai, Da long had already regarded himself as a person who had crossed the mountain temple, and was thinking of the design of two or three rooms all the way. In 2016, Dalong finally rode a motorcycle with his girlfriend and puppy, which lasted 9 days and entered the mountain in a mighty way.
At this point, the Dean, Huaiyu, and Dalong, three people with abnormal nerves, finally got together and took root in the real rural life of the Mountain Hall.
Dean, Huaiyu, Da Long
Have you struggled and been confused?
Of course, especially for the dean.
At that time, there was no current "embassy" and "presidential palace", and the dean lived in the old building of Huaiyu's house, the windows were broken, the wind was leaking, and the floor slabs were collapsed in half. Wrapped in two quilts, the dean, with his head and hands exposed to write a plan, was frozen by the wetness of the south to doubt his life. The family did not understand, saying that the dean was "a turtle mixed into a turtle".
As soon as the dean entered the mountain, his father fell seriously ill. Dad's illness became the dean's heaviest heart disease, and the temple had just started, like a newborn baby, waiting to be fed, and the father's bedside was the time when people were most needed. Liaoning-Lishui, Lishui-Liaoning, on this road, the dean rolled back and forth for three full years.
I asked the dean when he had started to enjoy the country life, and he suddenly became serious: "I haven't started to enjoy it yet. I asked him, "Have you ever regretted that?" He looked me in the eye very seriously and said, "Never regret it." ”
Have a good time at the grassroots level
People who have lived in the mountain hall for a long time will perceive it as different every day. From 2013 when Huaiyu entered the mountain, it has been a full six years now, and there is still a deserted village in the mountain hall.
Huaiyu first made wine in the old house, and now there is a professional wine cellar in the mountain hall, when the winter is the coldest, the wine cellar is 13, 14 ° C, and the hottest time in the summer, the temperature can also be stabilized at about 23 ° C, stable temperature and humidity, very conducive to the fermentation and storage of fruit wine.
Wine cellar
At the beginning, there were only one or two kinds of wine, and now there is a relatively complete product line. Passing Mountain Hall Gold, Passing Mountain Hall Wild He, Passing Mountain Hall Bayberry Wine, Passing Mountain Hall Golden Basin Dew, and seasonal fresh wine such as Bayberry, Peach, and Kiwi Fruit in season.

The seven rooms located in the adjacent Umbrella Gang Village have also been renovated, and there is a large terrace with coffee and tea, and there is wine in the refrigerator all year round, we call it the "Embassy of the Mountain Hall in Umbrella Gang Village", and the Daoist friends can have a decent place to stay when they come.
The Embassy of the Guoshan Temple in Umbrella Gang Village
The holding of various parties has made the mountain hall gather a lot of interesting people. The spring water, vegetables, and fruits of the temple have all become a feast on the table. When friends came, everyone drank and chatted, played the piano and sang.
Party scene
The villagers of the Mountain Hall and the Mountain Hall are changing and growing every day, and it is difficult to say whether nature affects man or whether man changes nature.
In Huai Yujie's diary, there is such a passage: "The ideal pastoral lifestyle, three or five confidants, a few fields, a small courtyard, regardless of age, level, nationality, indulgent life, 3 years more laughter, 3 more years of play, 3 years more life, all the way to hang." Whether it is gardening, photography, pottery, painting, equestrianism, or tea tasting, food, all meet here. ”
Huaiyu's ideal pastoral life is being realized bit by bit. And the future of the mountain hall, the dean said: "Everything is the beginning of the cylinder. ”
Of course, the story of the Mountain Hall is far more than this, the dean, Huaiyu, Dalong, these three "Chinese patients", with time and courage to truly present a "longing life".
And I, xiao Qi, a villager who has just joined the Mountain Temple, will slowly tell you how the flowers here bloom and how the wine is brewed.
