Chen Qingzhi who travels south in all clothes

It was midsummer, and one day the weather was fine and sweltering. In order to relieve the heat, a group of friends from Luobei Village discussed going east to swim in Taihu Lake at the head of the village.

The Taihu Lake in summer is shimmering, and under the bright sun, it is like a layer of golden gauze.Many boys and youngsters have already stripped off their coats and plunged into the shallow lake near the shore, swimming more freely than fish.

Qingzhi didn't go into the water, but brought a volume of books, and Jane sat on the reef near the shore to read.

Because of a speculative agreement with Qingzhi, and because he was used to swimming in previous years, Zu Feng didn't go into the water with those monkey cubs, but sat with him and made bait for fishing himself.

After sitting for half a day, no big fish took the bait. Grandpa Zu was a little impatient, and threw the dried fish aside between the cracks of the stone to stabilize. With his right hand propping his chin, he turned to Qingzhi and asked, "Why do you read every day? I read books everywhere, what is there to read?"

Qingzhi put down the letter slightly, stretched his waist, glanced at his little friend who was still gesturing in the water with a smile, and said slowly, "Boss Zu, your surname is not common in Jiangdong, do you know where it came from?"

When Zu Feng saw him mentioning himself, he became interested and said hesitantly, "I heard from the village head grandpa that my ancestor's family moved to Jiangdong from the north to avoid war 200 years ago. One of my ancestors moved to the foot of the country mountain. , why is my surname mentioned in the book?"

Seeing that he was very interested, Qingzhi threw the scroll to him, and said fascinatedly, "If this is the case, it should be the same. Do you know that there is a famous person in your ancestors, General Zu Tizu, who 'heard the chicken and danced', managed the Jianghuai River, led the army to the Central Plains, and regained his homeland."

Elder Zu flipped through the thick and heavy slips, and vaguely recognized the words "Chen's family moved south, Sima Jin's family, Northern Expedition, Zu Zhenxi, Jianghuai". , you also know that I don’t like reading the most, and I can only roughly recognize a few words, so you should tell me, what is said in it!”

Qingzhi didn't take it seriously, and joked, "I heard that when the village chief is free, he runs a private school to teach children how to read and write. If you don't study hard on weekdays, you can't even read the deeds of your ancestors."

He pointed to the slip of paper, and said, "This is the personal biography written by my ten-generation ancestor. He was Chen Si, the fourth-generation great-great-grandson of Chen Qun in Yingchuan.

At that time, the Rebellion of the Eight Kings brought in Rongdi and poisoned the Central Plains. He had no choice but to move across the south of the Yangtze River with his family. On the road, he was short of clothes and food.

In five or six years, General Zu dissipated his family wealth, ran Jianghuai with bare hands, recovered a large area of ​​homeland south of the Yellow River, and was named General Zhenxi by the Jin Dynasty.This is a good situation, but it is a pity that the will of the people is united, and it is difficult to defeat the treacherous people of the imperial court!The Sima family became more and more afraid of General Zu's self-respect, and often sent people to restrain and supervise him. General Zu died of depression, and the Northern Expedition ended in vain!

After the ancestor's general passed away, he and his tribe settled at the foot of the country mountain.In the biography, there is also a biography he wrote for the ancestor general. "

Grandfather Zu stared at me cautiously for a while, in disbelief, "Why do you sound like a storyteller? I've never heard of it before! Don't put a high hat on my ancestor, right?"

Qingzhi raised his forehead and said, "Is there anyone who blames your ancestors like this? If it were me, it would be too late to pay homage to such a glorious deed! Fan Yangzu's family and Yingchuan Chen's family all came to the south after the Yongjia Rebellion. , moved here, you go to the ancestral hall to look up the ancestral genealogy, or ask the old people in the village, which one would talk nonsense?"

"The biography of the ancestors, you lend me to study for a while, I want to see if you are lying!" He stuffed the slips into his arms like a treasure, but the bamboo slips were too thick to fit in, so he put them carefully Put it in the backpack, afraid that Qingzhi will take it back.

For a long time, the two of them didn't say anything, and Qingzhi took out a book to read from somewhere, and Boss Zu didn't know what he was thinking.

The sun gradually moved westward, and suddenly the elder ancestor said, "So there are such things in the book, we can still read the stories of our ancestors hundreds of years ago, and I understand why you love reading! "

Qingzhi pretended to be mature and said solemnly, "If the village chief is here, he will definitely praise you when he hears you say this: children can be taught!"

Boss Zu smashed an orange for him, and said, "I didn't see it, Qingzhi is used to being eloquent, and he is more slippery than Wang Xiaoliu. Let's eat your orange and see if it's your teeth or the orange." acid!"

At this time, a group of teenagers in the lake dispersed, and the water turned upside down, and there were often shouts and shouts on the lake.

Qingzhi watched it very interestingly, felt that they seemed to be planning something, and asked curiously, "What are they doing in the lake? They look so organized, as if they are fishing for something!"

"And there's something you don't know about your book bag. Every year at this time, we will come to dive in the lake, and try our luck to catch a stone tablet hundreds of years ago!" Grandpa Zu showed off.

"But the National Mountain Monument, I thought it was a legend in the village!" Qingzhi was very surprised.

Seeing that he could tell his name, Elder Zu felt a little upset, and continued,

"Well, you know it too. Our village is called Luobei Village. According to legend, it was called that way from the reign of Sun Hao, the ruler of the Eastern Wu Kingdom. At that time, a stone cave was opened in the country's mountains. There was a natural stone tablet with strange characters engraved on it. The Lord thought it was auspiciousness from heaven, and ordered to transport it to the capital.

Unexpectedly, there was a storm on the shallow shore of Taihu Lake, the boat sank, and the whereabouts of the stele were also unknown. It didn't take long for Soochow to be destroyed.The Jin Dynasty also searched for it several times later, but it gradually disappeared. "

So every hot summer day, a group of their children would toss and roll in the lake, just for fun.

Hundreds of years ago in Soochow, a stone was erected on the bank of the river where the water fell, called the Luobei Stone, which was the symbol of the east end of the village entrance.

Qingzhi also found the legend interesting. This stele related to the fortunes of the Eastern Wu Kingdom became the joy of treasure hunting for the children in this village. After carefully asking about the location, he said, "How do you plan to find it?"

Boss Ancestor said proudly, "I think people couldn't find it in the past because they always went down the lake and swam more than ten meters to find it. In the past two years, I think that the monument is so heavy that it might be trapped by the quicksand at the bottom of the lake. You should search around where it is, maybe you can find it!"

Qingzhi pondered for a moment, nodded and said, "What you said is very reasonable, but think about it again, if the stone tablet is heavy and sinks into the bottom of the lake, but the quicksand is deep and is constantly washed by the lake, and the bottom part is pushed forward. , moved upstream, like a wheel spinning, maybe in hundreds of years, the stele has moved upwards by more than ten meters!"

Boss Zu patted himself on the head, and said, "Why didn't I think about it, I'll let those boys try!" He ran to the lake in a hurry, ordered everyone to change direction, and he rarely got into the water with interest Searching.

Unexpectedly, one or two hours later, they heard bursts of cheers, and a rectangular stone tablet was actually fished out for them. The surface of the stone was thick and smooth.The villagers erected it at the head of the village as the landmark of Luobei Village, and it was passed down as a good story in the village.
