From Lin Yifeng's perspective, Jinghua Garden really wasn't anything special.
This place is either under construction or under renovation, and the overall impression is hard to describe.
Moreover, and most importantly, there are no guides to explain the history and stories of Jinghua Garden.
When traveling, especially to scenic areas with many temples, the most important thing is to experience its cultural atmosphere.
For example, the Big Wild Goose Pagoda, and the Longmen Grottoes.
It's difficult to appreciate its inner beauty simply by looking at it.
Therefore, when visiting such places, you need a guide to explain the historical origins and anecdotes.
Even the famous Terracotta Army can feel a bit boring without a guide.
However, there were no tour guides at Jinghua Garden. If Lin Yifeng hadn't been strolling around with Bai Yejin, he probably would have turned around and left.
Going to Shaolin Temple is more interesting than coming to this place!
Fortunately, Bai Yejin came with Lin Yifeng.
Wearing the clothes Lin Yifeng bought for her, Bai Yejin chattered away the whole way. Her looks were so outstanding that, up to now, only Ye Yuqing could rival her beauty.
Putting everything else aside, simply admiring the beauty of the white hibiscus is a delightful experience.
"Lin Yifeng, where is your hometown? What do you do?"
Walking side by side with Bai Yejin, the two chatted and eventually talked about Lin Yifeng's hometown.
Lin Yifeng knew that Bai Yejin's hometown was a place where Jian ware was made.
Bai Yejin didn't know what Lin Yifeng's hometown did. She was very curious about Lin Yifeng's hometown and wanted to know what kind of village it was that could raise such an outstanding person as Lin Yifeng.
"My hometown is deep in the mountains!"
Lin Yifeng rarely mentions his hometown, mainly because he had illegally crossed the border in his previous life and was too ashamed to return.
I'm too ashamed to reply, and too ashamed to mention it.
"In a remote mountain valley?"
"Hey! Hey! Hey!"
“We are from the Central Plains Province. While the Central Plains Province may not be entirely plains, it certainly has very few mountain valleys.”
"You still call yourself a teacher?!"
Lin Yifeng tapped Bai Yejin's head with a "Duang" sound.
What mountain is north of Makino City?
"Taihang Mountains!"
"Living in the Taihang Mountains, is it in a remote mountain valley?"
"Oh, that's true!"
Bai Yejin nodded and continued to ask, "So...where in the mountains is your family from?"
"Red Flag Canal?"
"Still Guo Liang?"
The Red Flag Canal and Guo Liang are relatively famous.
Lam Yat-Fung wasn't at either of those places, but rather taking pictures of rocks.
Yes.
Lin Yifeng's village is called Paishitou, located deep in the Taihang Mountains. The villagers make a living by selling stones.
"Shoot a rock?"
"What a strange name!"
"So how do you make a living from stones? Do you burn stones like us?"
"No!"
Lin Yifeng shook his head. He and Bai Yejin had arrived at the outside of a temple. The temple's architectural style was somewhat similar to that of the Tang Dynasty, but the temple was not yet fully renovated and could not be entered.
"We make a living by blasting mountains."
"Blast the mountain? How exactly?"
Bai Yejin turned into a curious child, staring at Lin Yifeng with her eyes blinking rapidly.
"The so-called blasting of the mountain is to use detonators or even explosive charges to collapse the mountain, and then clear the rocks out of the mountain and transport them out."
Lin Yifeng's village makes a living by blasting mountains. The villagers use detonators, explosive packs, and even bombs to collapse the mountains and take away some good stones from the collapsed mountains.
The best quality stones will be made into marble and sold to wealthy people in the neighborhood for building houses.
Those stones of poor quality would be piled up into large blocks of stone, which would then be sold to people building houses.
Before the millennium, most ordinary people relied on the mountains and rivers for their livelihood.
Lin Yifeng and his team filmed Stone Village, which relies on the mountains for their livelihood. The profits from blasting the mountains are much higher than those from farming, especially if they are lucky enough to produce more marble, which can lead to a prosperous year.
but...
The risk of blasting the mountain is too high.
Although the Taihang Mountains are generally stable, collapses or mudslides are rare.
But it's a mountain after all, it can't withstand constant bombing.
Excessive blasting can affect the stability of mountains. Sometimes, even if you plan to blast a specific area, it may affect other parts of the mountain, leading to a landslide.
This is not an exaggeration, but a lesson learned through blood and tears.
Lin Yifeng's sixth uncle was completely buried by a landslide during a blasting operation.
Besides landslides, explosives are also an extremely unstable factor. They photographed many people in Shitou Village who were missing arms or legs. These people were accidentally hit by explosives during the blasting of the mountain.
"That's so dangerous!"
Upon hearing Lin Yifeng's description, Bai Yejin felt her hands and feet turn cold.
Compared to Lin Yifeng's Paishitou Village, their Siyao Town is much safer.
Firing bricks in a kiln only requires physical labor and is almost entirely safe.
"Yes, blasting mountains is indeed very dangerous."
Lin Yifeng nodded: "So after graduation, I want to go back to my hometown to see if I can help people from my hometown get out of Paishitou, or at least find a new way to make a living."
"No wonder Qingyi said you were planning to go back to your hometown, so that's why!"
Bai Yejin understood.
She hadn't understood why Xu Qingyi had told her that Lin Yifeng was going back to his hometown after graduation.
Now she understands.
"Qingyi told you all this?"
