Old Show talent

The old village has two bridges, one in the east of the village and one in the west of the village.

The old village has two rivers, one in the west of the village and one in the east of the village.

On the east bridge of the old village, there is a three-foot-high stone stele with the words "Tianfushan Uprising Site" engraved on it.

The stele is not an antiquity, it was erected in the sixties.

But the erection of this stone monument took a lot of hesitation. The Tianfushan Uprising is certain in the old village. However, the City God Temple, which was the headquarters of the rebel army, was demolished as early as the time of the big steel. There is no record in the village chronicle that the old Daoist who knew the specific location had been feathered as early as when the temple was demolished, and this location became a problem. The general orientation can be found, but everyone is not sure of the field.

In fact, it is also good to have a general orientation, but what is wrong is that a slight deviation is the turret of the Japanese devils.

The "ruins of the Tenfuyama Uprising" were erected on the turret of the Japanese devils, and no one dared in those years, but it was a counter-revolutionary event. Therefore, when the monument was erected for the "Tianfushan Uprising Site", there were many opinions. Some say here, some say there. Later, the battle was inseparable, or please come out of the "old show talent".

Although "Old Xiucai" did not go to school for a day, he understood some poetry, painting, calligraphy, and seal carving archaeology. He was also the only living person involved in the Tianfushan Uprising.

At that time he was seventy years short and lean. Childlike crane hair. The road is happy to walk fast. voiceless. The crowd came, as fast as the autumn wind. Far away a straw hat approached, and it was him.

"Old Xiucai" is indifferent and loves to laugh loudly. Although he was a hero, he never reached out to his superiors to ask for anything, that is, the annual disability payment, he gave the five insurance households. What he did was awe-inspiring to all.

When everyone was arguing about the "Tianfushan Uprising Site", he put his back to the sun in front of the ancient kiln and did not say a word. Finally, on tiptoe at the head of the East River Bridge: "This is it!" "Of course it's this one. Who's to say it's not? People are the only ones in the Tianfushan Uprising!

You see this, facing the Peach Blossom Mountain, backed by the Huanglei River, the peach blossoms are gorgeous, the blue water is long, and it is the birthplace of the hero.

So he buried a stone and erected a monument.

Afterwards, someone looked for "Old Xiucai" and quietly asked: "Is this really this one?" ”

"Old Xiucai" laughed a lot, and suddenly looked at him: "Of course it's this!" ”

The stone tablets were erected, and the quarrels disappeared. The old village has since gained a lot of scenery.

The year before I went to the old village, this time it became a cultural relic, which was approved by the State Council as a national key cultural relic. But this stone stele is a little smaller, and there is no room and no pavilion, standing at the head of the bridge, and the boundaries of the land are inserted there.

At first, it also aroused people's curiosity.

Every year on the day of the Qingming Festival, "Lao Xiucai" pointed to the stone tablet to tell the children in the village about the revolution, and later to the intellectuals and young people from the city.

When Zhiqing left, "Old Xiucai" had no need to talk about it, and no one listened to it, and people all arched their heads into their own fields to serve the crops, and there was no spare time to listen to "Old Xiucai" nagging light (the meaning of the jiao dongfang dialect story).

"Old Xiucai" died, and no one paid attention to it on the stone tablet.

Villagers go in and out of the old village, and often rest their feet in this one. Or lean your bike against a stone tablet and squat a cigarette, or tie your cow to a stone tablet and chat with acquaintances who come and go. After a while, the old cow mooed a few times, raised its tail, and pulled down a pile of steaming cow. The townspeople slammed their fists into the belly of the cow and scolded: you, you dare to wipe the of the revolution! ”
