Chapter 7 The Ancient Tea Horse Road

The two went down the mountain, and the rented car was already waiting in the parking lot. The scenic spot is quite far away from the city, if it weren't for Liu Zichen's research strategy in advance, their traffic transfer would be very problematic.

Liu Zichen plans to spend the afternoon visiting Lashi Lake again, and Chen Tianyu is also a little yearning for this attraction, because he has heard that he can finally ride a real horse here, and there is the famous ancient tea horse trail.

The so-called Ancient Tea Horse Road, in fact, is only existing in southwest China, with horses as the main means of transportation of the folk international trade channel, the Ancient Tea Horse Road originated from the ancient southwest and northwest frontier tea and horse market, YN belongs to the Yunnan-Tibet tea and horse market.

The two rented a seven-seater minivan, and the bumpy trek of nearly three hours made the two drowsy, and when the driver woke them up, they were really dumbfounded, so Liu Zichen subconsciously asked: "Master, where is this?"

"This is Lashihai. "After all, it's a noon order, and the driver's spirit is not too good.

Liu Zichen rolled down the window of the car and looked at this desolate and potholed remote location, and it was hard to believe that this was the famous tourist attraction Lashi Lake, which was ridden and rowed.

"Master, you didn't go to the wrong place, right?Where is the gate of Lashi Seaview Area?" Liu Zichen had a strong suspicion, this can't be a black driver, right?

The driver is still a very steady person, he squinted and smiled: "Little sister, you have to look from the left window, the door is there." ”

Chen Tianyu sat on the left, frowned and looked out, how could there be any gate, that is, he built such a shack in the barren mountains and mountains, a few parasols, a green curtain, a few plastic chairs, and two or three people.

The driver explained: "This is a horse gang, and if you want to ride a horse, you have to find a horse gang to have a horse." ”

"Ma Gang?" The two got out of the car suspiciously, how does this look like an attraction, Chen Tianyu warned the driver, "You wait here first, Zichen, you go over there and ask." He was afraid that the driver would leave, so he deliberately sat back in the car, after all, the car money had been paid in advance. If you are not familiar with life and are really left here, it is also called the heaven and the earth, and the earth is not spiritual.

The driver smiled bitterly: "I really didn't lie to you, if you want to ride a horse, you have to find a horse gang, don't you do your homework before you come?"

Chen Tianyu ignored him, but just watched Liu Zichen walk towards the shack.

It didn't take long for Liu Zichen to obviously get in touch with the managers of the "scenic spot", one of the bald guys had a very bad attitude, his eyes were vicious, and he ignored him, he told her that the minimum price of riding a horse on the ancient road was 350 yuan, and the maximum was no upper limit, depending on the distance.

"We're going to Lashihai. Liu Zichen asked unhurriedly, "Where to buy tickets?"

The bald guy glared at him, and said impatiently: "Little girl, how many times have I told you?! Lashihai doesn't sell tickets! Which tourist doesn't ride a horse from us?" A black-faced man also walked over next to her, looking at her viciously, looking like he was sure of you.

If you were another tourist, you would have to pay for this battle obediently, but who is Liu Zichen? The first sister of Beiting came up angrily: "I'm sorry, Lashi Lake is a national scenic spot! We ask to go to the ticket office to buy regular tickets! Do you understand?"

"Ho, whatever you want! We don't have tickets for sale anyway. The bald guy lay in his chair, nonchalantly cocking one foot onto the other.

"Do you believe that I will call the police now?" Liu Zichen said angrily, she really took out her mobile phone.

The bald guy was indifferent: "Whatever." ”

Liu Zichen was really angry! She dialed the police number, but found that the mobile phone that claimed to be able to make an emergency call had not made any sound for a long time, and there was no signal here! She glanced at the bald guy angrily, turned around and returned to the van, one foot deep and one foot shallow, fortunately she was wearing sneakers, although she was embarrassed and not to fall.

Chen Tianyu frowned and asked, "What's the matter?"

"We've been fooled!" Liu Zichen was still angry, and she asked the driver, "Hey, did you pull us here to rip off customers? You probably found the wrong person...... Acquaintances will quickly pull us away!"

The driver looked aggrieved: "This is really a horse gang from Lashihai! I didn't lie to you." I've been working as a chauffeur here for several years, and all the tourists come here. The driver muttered, not pulling them away at all.

Seeing this, the two people also stood up and walked over to this side, Chen Tianyu asked Liu Zichen to sit in the car first, just in case, and he pushed the car door and walked down.

The bald guy talked to the driver by himself, and he seemed quite familiar, while the other man stared at the two of them without saying a word.

Chen Tianyu said slowly: "Several, do you know the consequences of stealing customers at will?"

The bald guy leaned on the driver's window and said casually: "Don't use your mouth if it's okay! If you love to play, you don't like to play, don't play around! I've seen a lot of tricks." He had a look on his face that was in control, a typical thief shouting to catch a thief.

Seeing that the smell of gunpowder was getting stronger at the scene, the driver said with a somewhat uncomfortable face: "Two, this place is far away, and it is not easy to come here, and the two of you will be ...... Look, isn't there another car over there? It's all here, and you can't go wrong. ”

Before his words fell, sure enough, a van was wobbly parked not far away, the bald guy beckoned in the distance, and two more evil men came out of nowhere, and walked quickly towards the car, and the two or three handsome guys and beauties in the car saw this formation, and they didn't dare to get out of the car.

Liu Zichen said angrily: "It's really too deceitful!"

Chen Tianyu slowly straightened his body, his eyes scanned the two of them, his gaze slowly changed from calm to a cold knife, the bald guy's heart chuckled, and he shivered for no reason.

The driver was the first to feel that something was wrong, and he anxiously played the round: "Boss, or I'll try to pull you to another horse farm to have a look, without adding money." The caravans are all the same, don't get used to it. In fact, he wasn't worried about the Ma Gang, maybe it was just an occasional discovery of his conscience, afraid that Chen Tianyu and the two would fold here.

"What are you talking about?" the bald guy glared at the driver angrily, "We are doing business seriously, how can we still try to ruin our reputation?"

"Whoa!" Chen Tianyu spat on the ground, "Since you don't want to do business well, that's fine, there will be no more black-hearted business for you to do in the future!"

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The driver's hand holding the steering wheel was still trembling.

He didn't expect that he would bring two plague gods today, not only to tear up the shack of the horse gang, but also to tie those people together with ropes and wait for the police to come to the door. If the business is ruined, what will happen to him later? The more he thought about it, the more scared he became.

Liu Zichen's question came from behind him: "Where are you going to pull us to?"

"Why don't I take you back to the city?" the driver didn't dare to reply, and said tremblingly.

"That's not good!" Liu Zichen vetoed, "I must go to Lashi Seascape Area to have a look today!"

The driver didn't speak for a long time, and then said tentatively: "Boss, you really want to pull the market, I know a more reliable caravan, but the distance is farther......"

"How far is it?" asked Liu Zichen.

"At least I have to run for more than an hour. The driver hesitated: "It's a little more remote there, but they'll be fairer there, but that's it...... It's a bit late. ”

Liu Zichen looked at her watch, it was already past three o'clock in the afternoon, and she said angrily: "I know that the price here is unfair, but you have to pull us over! Is there such a good way to earn black money?"

The driver didn't dare to say anything, he drove forward silently, not daring to make up his mind.

"Anyway, let's go check it out. Liu Zichen made up her mind, she saw a van following behind in the rearview mirror, the one that arrived with them just now, probably seeing that the black den was taken away by the two, and spontaneously wanted to go to the regular scenic spot with them.

"Okay. The driver saw that she had made up her mind, "I won't charge you another fare for this part of the road." ”

Chen Tianyu smiled: "So we still took advantage of you?"

The driver muttered, "Now that the gas is expensive, I can only see the price go up but not down...... but he complained about the oil company.

Liu Zichen was speechless, she didn't speak for a long time, and finally asked, "Where are you going to drag us to?"

The driver said: "Enzong Four Society." ”

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Although the Enzong Four Societies also seem to be a horse farm, they seem to be much more formal, and the administrators are also much more enthusiastic, all of them are kind and kind.

Two people watch in front of the scenic spot introduction board, there are three horseback riding routes to choose from, the price is 150 yuan, 280 yuan, 350 yuan, the journey has its own distance, but they are all given tea boating this project, the two just want to experience, and finally of course choose the cheapest route.

The manager did not force the sale, his face was very gentle, and he beckoned to an old man not far away, who was in the age of Huajia and walked over slowly.

"This is Big Brother He, will you ride his horse?" the administrator suggested.

He didn't talk to the eldest brother, quietly waiting for them to make a decision, they were not picky people, and seeing that the eldest brother looked good, he didn't raise any objections.

It wasn't until the two of them bought tickets and received the complimentary tea tasting coupons and boating coupons that the eldest brother spoke slowly, with some local accents: "You have chosen the right one, my family's dragon horse has been recuperating for a long time, and this is the first time to go up the mountain." ”

Liu Zichen asked curiously, "Ryoma, is there anything different about this horse?"

He grinned with the eldest brother: "You'll know when I pull it out later." He didn't say much, but turned around and went to the horse farm to lead the horse, and in a short time he led out two horses, one big and one small, tied together.

"This is Big Brother Ma. He pointed to the thin horse in the lead, "It knows the way after running on the road for more than 20 years." ”

He pointed to a young horse with a larger body and good teeth behind him, touched the pony's head and said: "This is the dragon horse I told you, there were people who made movies in the past who wanted to rent it with me, and I was not willing to give me a thousand yuan a day." ”

Liu Zichen touched the horse's face with some curiosity, and the dragon horse did not move at all, very calm.

"Is there anything different about this horse?" she couldn't help but ask.

He eldest brother patiently turned over Ryoma's mane, "You see this coat is smooth and smooth, and there is a row of white manes in it, which other horses don't have." ”

Chen Tianyu silently watched him put off the "mouth cannon", and finally couldn't help but say at this time: "I think this dragon horse is indeed clean, but you see, Brother Ma's eye feces is almost covering the whole eye, can it see the road?"

Liu Zichen smiled dumbly, Chen Tianyu's words were really a needle meeting.

He didn't change his face with the eldest brother, and he said unhurriedly: "Don't believe it, you will know if you ride it." He suddenly smiled mysteriously: "Many people say that anyone who has ridden a dragon horse can give birth to a big fat boy, and he is spiritual......

Liu Zichen was stunned, his face was slightly red, but Chen Tianyu laughed.

"Boss, I see that you are nobles, otherwise how can you pick this dragon horse. He eldest brother looked at Mu Ne, but he didn't expect to be able to say, "Ryoma also picks people, why don't you try?"

Chen Tianyu looked at Liu Zichen, Liu Zichen glanced at him, but he did not hesitate to step on the horse, this dragon horse was really steady, did not move a moment, Liu Zichen was a little worried at first, then completely relieved, she held the handrail in front ......of the saddle with both hands, and shouted in her mouth: "Drive!

Ryoma's hooves seemed to have taken root, and he shook his head and snorted heavily, startling Liu Zichen, and she was a little embarrassed.

Chen Tianyu also asked: "Later, you won't take people down, right?"

He eldest brother shook his head and said happily: "Hey, my family Ryoma still likes this little girl, don't worry." ”

Chen Tianyu didn't believe his nonsense, he said curiously: "Then why don't you go?"

And the eldest brother said lightly: "If the head horse doesn't go, it won't move." ”

Chen Tianyu thought to himself that this was the case, he also turned over and rode on the "big brother horse", sure enough, the two horses began to move forward one after the other, he was thinking about the magic, only to find that he and the eldest brother were holding the reins and pulling it forward, the two couldn't help but laugh dumbly, dare to love the trick here.

Whether you can go or not depends on whether the master leads the nose or not, and it has nothing to do with Ryoma or anything.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The two of them rode horses, moving forward at a fast pace, how could there be any danger at all? and the eldest brother walked as fast as the horse walked, the two of them straightened up, and suddenly had some confidence, it seems that riding a horse up the mountain is completely different from the previous imagination, this scene is really not much different from leading a donkey to grinding.

Liu Zichen said in the back: "Has it been so slow all along?"

As she spoke, she noticed that there were two tourist-looking people next to her who had been taking pictures of the two of them, not knowing what they meant.

To be honest, it was the first time she had seen tourists who took the initiative to help others take pictures, so she also waved her hand in a friendly manner.

He eldest brother said unhurriedly: "Look, you are riding a horse for the first time, how dare you let it spread its hooves and run." My ryoma is really running, you can't control it, when you go down the mountain, you can try it if you have the guts...... Do you dare?"

"What don't you dare!" Liu Zichen said confidently.

The three of them talked and laughed, and soon came to a dirt road full of stones, or quite a steep slope, "Brother Ma" climbed up with his hooves, Chen Tianyu was really worried that this old and thin horse would plop and kneel on the ground, after all, there was a man of nearly 200 catties on it, and the dragon horse was much easier, neither had to look at the road, and the burden was small.

"Big Brother Ma"'s tears were about to flow down, Chen Tianyu couldn't bear to see it, he wanted to get off the horse several times, but fortunately, although "Big Brother Ma" walked hard, he finally walked smoothly, and it was not too bumpy to sit on it, and the eldest brother did not squint and went straight forward.

He has walked this road for many years, and it was not a problem to transport goods for three or five hundred catties in the past, and it was not a problem to carry a person.

Although the road is desolate, it is also fragrant with birds and flowers, and occasionally there are branches rushing to the face, because it is slow, it can also dodge in time, the dragon horse is quite naughty, and from time to time it stops and gnaws on the leaves on the side of the road, which makes Liu Zichen giggle.

The road was not far, about twenty minutes, the three people and two horses had climbed to a flat platform at the highest place, and the eldest brother motioned for them to dismount and rest for a while, and enjoy the scenery by the way.

At this time, the sunset is still more than a zhang high, and looking at it from the platform, it does have a unique taste.

A middle-aged woman didn't know where to get out, holding two plates of peas and saying that she was feeding the horses, Liu Zichen asked the price, ten yuan a plate was fair, so she generously bought two plates and put them in the mouths of the two horses.

She saw that the horse's tail flicked gently, and it was quite interesting under the sunset, so she unconsciously reached out and touched it, who knew that Ryoma suddenly pouted his hooves and almost kicked her over on the spot, she was startled and hurriedly dodged.

He eldest brother happily reminded: "Little girl, don't stand behind the horse's buttocks, if it weren't for Ryoma liking you, you would have to roll down the slope just now." ”

"You can really talk. Liu Zichen stroked her breasts, frightened, she didn't dare to approach again, "The temper is quite big......"

After saying that, she couldn't help but laugh herself, no matter how docile a horse is, she has a temper.

The two led the horses and asked the eldest brother to help take a few photos, which were quite beautiful. Watching the sun slowly set, they reluctantly began to descend the mountain, thinking that the road down the mountain would be easier, who wants to go down the mountain is more bumpy, and it feels that the horse will stumble at any time, thrilling.

When passing a short section of cement road halfway, the horse was also startled by a passing car, and the dragon horse neighed and raised his front hooves, almost knocking Liu Zichen off, but fortunately she finally had some experience, and grabbed the saddle handrail to live or die, so there was no accident.

But in this way, they don't dare to mention the matter of letting the horses run wild, and they really can't control it.
