Chapter 320 My dear father, something bad has happened
The Double Ninth Festival is the day with the strongest yang energy in the year.
People usually go up high places to see the distant view, or go home to visit their elders on this day.
After much thought, He Daqing decided to take everyone to see the Badaling Great Wall.
In his previous life, he was trapped in a small village and had hardly ever been out in the world.
Now in this world, He Daqing has made something of himself. Although he is not rich, at least he has a big family and can still live without worries. Who can understand such happiness?
I have visited most of the scenic spots in the old city over the years.
It is autumn now, and the weather is clear and cool, so climbing the Great Wall is a good choice.
There is no ticket for the Badaling Great Wall in this era. However, as early as 61, it was listed as a key cultural relic protection site by the state, and a special protection station was sent here to protect the Great Wall from being destroyed.
However, there is only one person guarding the entire shelter.
Early in the morning, He Daqing asked everyone to take their equipment and use Fengzeyuan's truck to transport them all to a small mountain village at the foot of the Great Wall.
There are mountains and water here, which is a good place for camping.
He Yuzhu and Xu Huizhen stayed behind to organize the equipment and cook.
When Qin Huairu and Tao Huilan heard that they had to climb such a high Great Wall, they immediately gave up the idea of following them.
The two chose to stay and help He Yuzhu and his wife.
So, He Daqing took his daughter He Yushui, as well as a group of women and children, and began to climb the Great Wall.
At this time, the Great Wall was dilapidated and decayed.
Especially in autumn, the trees are withered, the grass is dead, and everywhere you look is gray. The majestic Great Wall seems even more desolate and tragic.
He Daqing led everyone to climb, enjoying the scenery and sighing from time to time.
It’s a pity that he doesn’t have a camera yet, otherwise he would have taken a picture of the scene.
"I've heard about the majestic Great Wall here for a long time, and today I finally saw it."
Ran Qiuye followed behind He Daqing. As a cultural person, he couldn't help but feel happy when he saw the majestic Great Wall. He opened his mouth and shouted loudly towards the mountains in front of him.
After shouting like this, no matter how many unhappy things were in my heart, they all seemed to disappear in an instant.
Seeing this, Ding Qiunan, Yu Haitang and others standing nearby followed suit and started shouting towards the mountains and valleys.
"Ah! The Great Wall is so beautiful!"
“I hope we can get better and better in the future!”
"Yu Haitang, come on!"
At the beginning, the women were a little shy, but after the first shout, they seemed to have finally gotten the hang of it, and they all became bolder.
For a moment, the empty mountains and fields were filled with the shouts of these women and children.
He Daqing shook his head helplessly. Fortunately, there were not many tourists at this time, otherwise, people would have thought he had brought a bunch of lunatics here!
"Dad, we will bring the children here to have a look in the future!"
He Daqing told everyone a lot about the history of the Great Wall. He Yushui, Ran Qiuye and others were also deeply moved after listening to it.
He Yushui said seriously,
“This is also very educational for the children!”
Ran Qiuye nodded in agreement.
"That's right. No matter how many great principles are taught in class, they all seem empty. Although I took them to the cafeteria and other places to experience reality before, I always felt that it was still a little bit lacking. Now I understand. If I bring them to the Great Wall, and wait for them to touch every brick and tile here and see with their own eyes the things left by our ancestors, perhaps they will understand many principles without me having to tell them."
Both of them are teachers.
Especially in the past year, under the inspiration of He Daqing, my understanding of education has become more profound. Looking at the Great Wall that looks like a giant dragon, I can't help but think of the students in my classroom.
"Well, I have to."
He Daqing smiled and nodded.
"But, if you want to organize an event in this remote place, you must consider safety issues."
At that time, the Great Wall had no protective equipment or cable cars, and elementary school students were at the most playful age. Once something happened, it would be too late to rescue them.
Everyone walked and talked, and soon everyone was out of breath.
There is no way. The Great Wall is too long and it is impossible to walk the entire wall.
Fortunately, they had seen almost everything they needed to see, and as it was getting late, He Daqing led everyone and started walking down.
As the saying goes, it is easier to go up the mountain than to go down.
As they climbed up, everyone was full of energy.
Now, walking down and looking at the steep stairs, everyone's calves feel weak.
Even when they reached a dangerous place, Ran Qiuye and others did not dare to go down.
This year, people emphasized doing good deeds and being a good person. He Daqing was a helpful person, so he could not stand this. So, he squatted down and carried all the women and children down from the pile one by one.
In this way, the group walked and stopped for two hours before the whole family finally walked down from the Great Wall.
"Dad, my dear dad, you are finally back!"
However, just as He Daqing took a breath, he saw a figure running towards him from a distance. It was the eldest son Sha Zhu, who was running towards him anxiously.
"Don't worry, don't worry, what happened?"
He Daqing frowned and looked at He Daqing and asked.
I was quite speechless. He Yuzhu is not young anymore, but why is he still so panic-stricken when encountering problems?
It seems that as a father, I have protected him too well.
If he had followed the White Widow and left, perhaps Sha Zhu would have been more independent.
While I was in a daze, I saw He Yuzhu anxiously saying,
"Dad, when Huizhen was setting up the tent just now, a snake suddenly emerged from the bushes and bit her calf. What do you think we should do?"
"What? Huizhen was bitten by a snake?"
Upon hearing this, He Daqing's expression changed.
In the autumn in the north, the temperature difference is quite large, which is the season when snakes and insects appear. He didn't expect that his daughter-in-law Xu Huizhen was bitten by a snake just after coming here to camp today!
But at this moment, he had just come down from the Great Wall, his legs were so tired that he could not walk anymore and he could not walk fast at all.
"Brother He, I'll go take a look first."
Ding Qiunan, who was standing nearby, heard this and quickly ran towards the camping place.
He Daqing had carried her on his back many times just now. What's more, she is a doctor and a woman. If she doesn't do it at this time, who else can?
"Okay, let's hurry up too. I hope the snake isn't poisonous!"
He Daqing nodded, and quickly led everyone towards that direction.
