Mojin Office

The old Huaidu Temple is said to occupy an area of ​​over [-] mu, but since a school was rebuilt here, many old houses have been demolished.

The only remaining complete front hall in the Gu Temple is used as a teaching office, only a small part of the foundation of the main hall remains, and a few rooms that are not abandoned have also become teachers' residences.

When they came, it was still during the Spring Festival, and there were three days before the start of school, so they needed to find out the place within these three days, and it was best to find the entrance.

On the first day, the two of them just walked around, wandering through the streets and alleys, just like other tourists.

From time to time, I find some small shops to sit down and rest, and ask the boss about the surrounding situation during the chat.

Combined with the known situation, after returning to the hotel, Gu Yi drew a simple topographic map.

Some places that have not been demolished and rebuilt are marked inside.

Those that have been heavily remodeled are all marked with big crosses.

When these places are rebuilt, the foundation will definitely be dug. If there are any institutions, it is impossible not to be discovered.

Even if there were any tunnels deeper under the foundation, there would be entrances anyway, so there was no need to look for those places.

After crossing out these places, the final statistics show that there are not many possible places.

And the most important place is inside the school.

Early the next morning, the two went to Gumiao again, and after making sure no one had found out, they climbed over the wall and entered the school.

Sadly nothing was gained.

After that, I went to other places successively, but also found nothing.

Seeing that the sky had darkened, Gu Mu sat down on the stone bar in frustration, "Could the map be fake?"

Gu Yi leaned against the wall, frowning and thinking.

"But there is no reason, what good is the other party providing a fake map for us to come here for a while." The hand unconsciously scratched his chin.

As night fell, every household began to light their lamps, and there were sounds of calling children to go home for dinner and cooking.

"Forget it, let's go to dinner first, and think about it when we go back tonight." He stood up and shook his arms.

The two found a small shop nearby.

"Boss, here are two bowls of white rice, and three stir-fried dishes, two meat and one vegetarian."

The boss responded, brought them tea quickly, and hurried to the back kitchen.

The restaurant was very quiet, only the occasional sound of cooking from the back kitchen could be heard.

Although it was already lunch time, no one came in.

The business that I want to come to this store is mainly from tourists.

The food will be served soon.

Gu Mu tasted it and thought it tasted good, so he praised the boss's craftsmanship.

The boss is a 50-year-old middle-aged man, looking quite cheerful.

Hearing his praise, he immediately laughed out loud and said, "It's good that you two are satisfied. There's no such thing as craftsmanship. It's just home-cooked food, but it's just been cooked for a long time."

"Practice makes perfect." Gu Mu smiled.

The boss was very happy to be praised, and there were no guests at this meeting, so he simply chatted with them.

"The two of you seem to be here to travel, right?"

"Yes, I originally came to Tongbai Mountain for sightseeing. I went to see the Huaidu Temple after hearing the recommendation from the tour guide. Later, I heard that the Huaidu Temple still has its original site, so I came to take a look."

"Well, there is such a saying, but now where there are any original sites or not, they are almost demolished. It is estimated that in two years, I may not even be able to keep the remaining Huaijing well."

The boss lit a cigarette, his tone full of regret, and the smog exuded a bit of loneliness.

"What's wrong? Is it going to be remodeled?"

"The renovation has been going on, but it's just subtle, and now that there are more and more tourists, the upper management probably wants to renovate it."

Gu Mu nodded, but his feeling was not as deep as that of the other party.

The boss continued, "My youngest son feels that these ancient histories are destroyed like this every day. To be honest, we don't feel much, but we feel it is a pity, especially Huaijing. Thinking that people in the village used to make a living from that well, God When it’s not on, I carry buckets and line up to fetch water…”

"Oh, look at my old man, I like to recall those things when I get old, and I disturbed your dinner."

"No, no, we are also very curious. Didn't we hear that there is a legend about Suojiao in that Huaijing Well? How dare you go there to fetch water?"

"I didn't dare to do it before, but after the war broke out, who cares about it. At that time, there were troops stationed here, and they took the lead in drawing water from the well. They said that this well was connected to the Huaihe River, and it was the source of the Huaihe River. It has already retreated into the Huaihe River, so why is it still in the well?"

Gu Yi Jiacai's movements stopped suddenly.

Gu Mu didn't find it, so he smiled and said: "Since this well has fed the villagers, helped the army, and is an ancient well, it still has a lot of cultural and commemorative value, so it shouldn't be filled."

"Well, who knows."

At this time, three more people entered the store, and the boss went to make arrangements.

The three people who came in should also be passengers, two little girls and a young man, all carrying only hiking bags and sportswear.

The two little girls were chatting happily, just sat down, and subconsciously looked at the only table in the store.

It was only after this look that they realized that they were two handsome guys, and their eyes lit up immediately.

Gu Mu also noticed that someone was looking at him, so he turned his head, met the eyes of the three people looking at him, and nodded to them with a smile.

The two little girls blushed immediately, while the young man curled his lips.

"Hey, are the two handsome guys here to travel too?" A girl with ponytails boldly asked.

Gu Mu smiled and nodded, "Yes."

"Hey, then we might as well make a trip together, more people will be more lively, I know a lot of interesting places here, free tour guide~" The little girl winked playfully.

"Yes, it's fate to meet you so rarely, maybe you can make friends." Another quieter girl also laughed.

Only the young man gave Gu Mu a hard look with displeasure on his face.

"Don't just post it just because you look at the handsome guy. He's dressed lightly. He probably doesn't belong to the group. He just doesn't want to be restricted. What's the use of bringing a few more strangers?"

The two girls blushed even more at the young man's words, and one of them glared at the young man angrily, "What nonsense are you talking about?" while stomping on him hard.

The young man cried out in pain.

At this time, the boss delivered the dishes.

Gu Mu and the others just finished eating, so they settled the bill with the boss, greeted a few people and left.

The ponytailed girl watched them leave reluctantly, but what the young man said just now made her unable to speak the words of fighting together.

This is just a small episode.

After leaving the hotel, Gu Mu proposed to go back to the hotel.

Gu Yi didn't want to but shook his head, saying he was going to Huaijing.

"Huaijing?" He looked at him suspiciously, and suddenly his heart moved, "Did you find something?"

"I'm not sure, you'll know when you see it." Gu Yi shook his head.

The two detoured for a long way, and finally came back to where Huaijing was.

There are some street lights on the side of the road, but the lights are not bright.

It was quiet and no one around.
