Great Medicine Without Borders

The old man shook his head and said: "How can he have that qualification? It was a collective application from our village named Zhou, and it was reported to the county at that time. We belonged to Nanshui County at that time. Nanling was merged here after the zoning was readjusted ten years ago. At that time, several major leaders in the county disagreed, but it was our new county magistrate who fought against all odds to get it passed. It is also thanks to him that our Xieyang Village was classified as a cultural protection unit. "

Xu Chunliang said: "At the end of the last century, county leaders realized the importance of cultural tourism. What is the name of this leader with forward-looking vision?"

The old man said: "His surname is Qiao, it seems... his name seems to be Qiao Yuanshan."

Ye Qingya was also surprised when she heard this name. Although she had married into the Qiao family, the Qiao family was very secretive about the name Qiao Yuanshan. Everyone avoided mentioning these three words, so Ye Qingya didn't know much about Qiao Yuanshan's resume.

Xu Chunliang secretly thought that the current Nanling was the merger of Nanshui and Xiling, and Nanshui County no longer existed on the map.

What happened here back then? What kind of intersections and stories did Qiao Yuanshan have with Du Changwen and Tang Jingwei? Maybe only the person involved knows.

But was Du Changwen's appearance accidental or intentional? I wonder if this person reappeared in his hometown after so many years to comfort his homesickness or for some other purpose?

Xu Chunliang and Ye Qingya returned to Zhou's house. Mrs. Zhou and her niece had prepared breakfast. Seeing that they came back safely, the old lady said angrily: "I went to find him, how dare he embarrass my relatives."

Xu Chunliang smiled and said, "Mom, don't be angry. He didn't know it at first, but then I told you your name and he immediately apologized to us. He even said he was your nephew."

Mrs. Zhou said: "That's a bunch of bullshit family, a bunch of guys who can't afford to get up early. The reputation of Xieyang Village is almost ruined by them."

Ye Qingya said: "In the past, I often came to Nanwan to sketch. In the early days, tickets were basically not charged. But in recent years, they have basically started commercial operations. However, it is understandable. After all, there are more tourists and I want to maintain various activities." Fang operations will definitely move toward commercialization.”

Mrs. Zhou said: "What kind of scenic spot are we doing? In the past, when there were no scenic spots, we still lived the same life."

Xu Chunliang said: "There don't seem to be many tourists here."

Mrs. Zhou said: "It's better not to have too many. If it's like those popular tourist spots, there will be tourist groups everywhere, and there will be no peace."

Xu Chunliang smiled slightly. The old lady wanted to live a quiet pastoral life in her hometown, but most of the local villagers still wanted to invigorate the economy. Just now he and Ye Qingya just walked around the village and found that many places were under construction. Due to construction, it is inevitable that this traditional small mountain village will gradually move towards commercialization.

After breakfast, the two chatted with Old Mrs. Zhou for a while. Secretary Zhou specially entrusted Xu Chunliang to help persuade the old lady, hoping that the old lady could go to the capital to live with them.

As soon as Xu Chunliang mentioned it, Mrs. Zhou shook her head and said, "No, I have good food and good accommodation here. What should I do in the capital? What I breathe here is fresh air, drink mountain spring water, and eat local pork." , I grow my own vegetables. The climate in Beijing is cold and the air is bad. If I had gone there, I would have lost a few years. "

Xu Chunliang knew that the old lady had a stubborn temper, so it was not easy to persuade her. Of course, one of the reasons was that she and her daughter-in-law Shu Yao didn't get along very well. They had different living habits, and they used to get angry when they were in Dongzhou.

Xu Chunliang said: "It's good here, but you live alone, and there are few people around you to take care of you."

Mrs. Zhou said: "I don't need anyone else to take care of me. He is his official and I am my common people. If I don't care about him, he won't care about me."

Xu Chunliang said: "Madam, let me ask you about someone. Do you know Du Changwen?"

Mrs. Zhou said: "I know him. He is Widow Li's son. He is a few years younger than me. I used to teach him when I was a private teacher. Speaking of which, he is still my student. Why do you want to ask about him? This man Haven’t seen him for many years.”

Xu Chunliang told about meeting Du Changwen at Ye Qingya's painting exhibition.

Mrs. Zhou said: "He came to Nanling? Why don't you visit your hometown when you come back?"

From what the old lady said, we can know that Du Changwen has not come back yet.

Ye Qingya asked curiously: "He also has a house in the village?"

Mrs. Zhou nodded and said, "It's right behind my house. His father died early and his family is poor. Come on, I'll show you."

The old lady did what she said, got up and took Xu Chunliang and Ye Qingya to Du Changwen's old residence.

Unlike a wealthy family like the Zhou family, the Du family has an adobe house. Looking at Xieyang Village, it is also the poorest place. Due to disrepair, the house has become a dilapidated house. The yard is covered with wormwood and is devastated. The courtyard walls are also made of adobe and there are many places. Collapse.

The village temporarily used a rope to pull a circle to prevent idlers from entering in case of danger. According to Mrs. Zhou, the village has listed this place as a scope for demolition and reconstruction.

An old house next to Du Changwen's house had a sign for sale. Ye Qingya went in and walked around out of curiosity. Unexpectedly, there was something special inside, but it was a house with three entrances and three exits. The courtyard in front was nearly half an acre, and the backyard was There are more than two acres.

Although the house is old, the brick and wood carvings are extremely exquisite.

Mrs. Zhou said that this place used to be a village primary school. Later, the family tried hard to get it back. However, the old people have passed away. The current owner lives in the provincial capital. How can he have time to come back and live here? Usually, no one lives there and neglects maintenance. The house is naturally in a bad condition. So they simply sell it to the public. In fact, many families in the village are in this situation. The village originally wanted to buy it as a whole, but the price they offered was too low, so everyone would rather find a buyer on their own.

Ye Qingya was moved when she saw that such a big house was only sold for 500,000 yuan. Xu Chunliang saw it and helped to contact the owner. The owner happened to be there and came over to talk. In the end, the deal was sold for 450,000 yuan.

Ye Qingya was not just impulsive. She had a special liking for the mountains and rivers in Nan'an. When she came to Xieyang Village, she was very satisfied with the environment here.

After signing the agreement, Ye Qingya began to think about how to renovate it. Looking at the huge house in front of her, she couldn't help but feel a little worried: "Chunliang, although this house was bought cheaply, it will take a lot of effort to renovate it."

Xu Chunliang smiled and said, "You don't have to worry about these things. After the first month of the year, I will let Ding Si bring the engineering team here. You just need to design it and leave the other trivial matters to him."

Ye Qingya suddenly became enlightened when she heard him say this, and she almost said that it was great to have you.

Old Mrs. Zhou participated in the whole process, but she didn't expect Ye Qingya to buy it as soon as she said it. She also felt very good about Ye Qingya, and she was also very happy when she thought of having a beautiful neighbor in the future.

When several people stood at the door of the old house to plan, an old man walked over with a hiking stick in the distance.

Xu Chunliang's eyes were sharp. The old man recognized Du Changwen as soon as he appeared, because this was his former residence, and it was not surprising for Du Changwen to appear here.

Du Changwen first stopped at the old house for a while, looking at Xu Chunliang and others, and then continued to walk over.

Old Lady Zhou looked at Du Changwen. After all, decades had passed, and she didn't dare to recognize him.

Du Changwen spoke first: "Is it Teacher Zhou?"

Old Lady Zhou nodded and said: "It's me, you are..."

"I am Du Changwen, Teacher Zhou, don't you recognize me?"

Old Lady Zhou became excited: "Changwen, we just mentioned you."

Du Changwen smiled and greeted Xu Chunliang and Ye Qingya: "What a coincidence, you are here too."

Old Lady Zhou told Du Changwen that they were all her guests. Du Changwen heard that Ye Qingya bought the old house of the neighbor, and smiled: "I came back this time to invest in my hometown and give back to my fellow villagers."

Old Lady Zhou was a little scared when she heard about investment. In her opinion, investment means commercialization, which means change. The older she is, the less she wants to change.

The old lady invited Du Changwen to have lunch at her home at noon. Du Changwen readily agreed. Old Lady Zhou and Ye Qingya went back to prepare first.

Du Changwen offered to walk around the village with Xu Chunliang.

Xu Chunliang deliberately mentioned the Wenfeng Tower, saying that he saw Du Changwen's name on it.

Du Changwen said: "If you hadn't said it, I would have almost forgotten it. Yes, the last time I went back to my hometown at the end of the last century, I was received by local leaders. At that time, they specifically mentioned the Wenfeng Tower. I joined some volunteers from Nanling to raise funds for donations, but I haven't been back since the Wenfeng Tower was built."

He looked in the direction of the Wenfeng Tower and murmured: "This tower is still different from the past."

Xu Chunliang said: "Mr. Du, do you still remember who was the leader who facilitated this matter at that time?"

Du Changwen said: "Of course I remember, Qiao Yuanshan, he was still a young cadre at the time, enthusiastic and capable. I thought this person had a bright future at the time, but I didn't expect that I would hear that this person made a mistake later. It's really too What a pity. "

Xu Chunliang said: "Did Mr. Du contact this person later?"

Du Changwen glanced at Xu Chunliang: "Who are you to him?"

Xu Chunliang laughed: "I have nothing to do with him, and I haven't even met him. I'm just curious."

Du Changwen said: "The Qiao Yuanshan I know is extraordinary in calligraphy, and your calligraphy style is very similar to his."

Xu Chunliang smiled and said: "Really?" He knew very well that Du Changwen could see from Ye Qingya's calligraphy works yesterday that she was influenced by Qiao Yuanshan's style. If Du Changwen could recognize Qiao Yuanshan's calligraphy style, the monk Tonghui who suddenly disappeared must be Qiao Yuanshan.

Based on the experience of Monk Tonghui, it is not difficult to judge that he spent the years when he lost his memory in Duyun Temple. The reason why he left Duyun Temple must be that he remembered the past again.

Du Changwen said, "Yesterday I took your calligraphy and looked at it again and again, and I found that it was probably not your original style, and it seemed a bit deliberate."

Xu Chunliang said, "Mr. Du said that my calligraphy was not good enough."
