After a few more idle words with the woman, the three of them continued to the village of Tripping Horse. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Similar to the information provided by Ge Xiaocheng, there are only a few elderly people left in Tripping Horse Village, which has only about 20 households, and most of the young people have gone out to work for their livelihoods, so when we appeared at the entrance of the village, there were few people to be seen.

The village is located halfway up the mountain, and it is not a cluster, but it is scattered on the mountainside, and there is only a stone road between the houses.

More than 20 houses of different shapes are hidden among the lush greenery, like a worldly style.

After half a day's effort, we finally found an old man, and after a few small talks, we didn't get anything.

There were not a few children in the village, not a single young man, and they took not only their wives but also their children with them. The whole village seemed unusually deserted, without the slightest bit of anger.

From the mouth of this old man, I learned that the oldest birthday star in the village is ninety-three years old this year, but he is already in his last years, and even his own family members can't recognize him, and it is almost impossible to ask something from his mouth.

Fortunately, this old man also has a son, who is also in his early seventies this year, and he is taking care of the old man, and the rest of the family has already gone to other places, and it is rare to come back once a year.

After hearing this, I suddenly felt a little lost, and there was more of an inexplicable desolation than the disappointment.

Considering that it was getting late, we asked the village which one could stay, and the reply we got was a man named Shishi, who was more active in the whole village, and often gave his house to foreign tourists!

The stone's surname is Li, and we didn't ask much about the specific name, he should be the 'Uncle Stone' in the woman's mouth.

In my understanding, a woman in her forties who is called Uncle must be not too young, and may be able to gain something from his mouth. But when I saw the stone, I realized I was wrong.

Following the old man's instructions, we met him in a corner of the village.

As soon as I saw Li Shishi, I was immediately discouraged, because looking at him like that, he would be in his fifties at most, and he would definitely not exceed fifty-four.

After explaining his intentions, Li Shishi was very enthusiastic and welcomed us into a small house where he now lives.

In the hall, after the three of them sat down, Li Shishi actually made us a pot of good tea.

It turned out that this Li Shishi was a very smart person, he heard that the current tourism industry is very hot, and he also went out to see the world when he was young, so as soon as he heard that the government was going to vigorously develop the tourism around the Qinling Mountains, he immediately renovated and strengthened his house, and also built a small house in the village for himself to live in.

Although he spent a lot of money and didn't have many tourists to Tripping Horse Village, he still gained something over the years, and his living conditions were much better than others.

Relying on this, he can basically receive several groups of tourists every year, although he doesn't make much, but this is enough for him. However, his family was not optimistic, so he had already gone to other places, and even his boss went to help take care of the children.

The place where we are now is the house that Li Shishi himself newly built for himself to live in, the house is not very large, there are three living rooms, a kitchen and a hall house, there is only one floor, and it belongs to the kind of building of a low bungalow.

"Uncle Shi, are your other houses full?" Wen Jing asked knowingly.

Li Shishi smiled and said, "It can only be said that they have been taken care of, but in fact, there are only five of them!"

"How many rooms are there in your house?" Gu Xin said.

"After the renovation, there will be ten rooms in total, and at least ten people can live!" Li Shishi happily, estimating that being wrapped up was the most satisfactory effect for him. "This time is the off-season, and if you can live in one or two rooms, you can Amitabha. ”

"How long are they going to stay, or we'll be in trouble!" Wen Jing frowned.

"They will leave tomorrow, you can stay with it!" Li Shishi said with a smile, "If a few of you only stay for one night, I can barely use these rooms now, and I will charge you a small fee symbolically." ”

"Then thank you Uncle Shi!" Wen Jing said with a smile, "We are actually reporters, we are here to be the leader, if this trip can be gained, the follow-up station will arrange a film crew to come over, and then it will be free publicity for you!"

As soon as he heard this, Li Shishi's face immediately showed a look of surprise, and he hurriedly said: "It turns out that the three of them are nobles, if they can publicize our village, it will be a great thing!"

"I'm confused, how can I collect money from nobles!" Li Shixi scratched his ears and cheeks, "Not only the three of you, but I will cover all the nobles who will come in the future, and all the fees will be free!"

I secretly admired this old man in my heart, but I didn't mean to laugh at all, and I was also very pleased with the cleverness of Wen Jing.

"It doesn't have to be. Because this is our job!" Wen Jing said with a smile, and then immediately changed the conversation: "Whether or not you can attract the attention of the station depends on the charm of your village!"

"Charm?" Li Shishi glanced at us a little confused.

Seeing this, Gu Xin smiled: "Actually, it's very simple, no matter what kind of tourist attraction it is, in addition to the scenery, the more important thing is actually the humanities." To put it bluntly, you have to have some cultural heritage!"

"San'er, go aside, you can't understand what Uncle says. Wen Jing glared at Gu Xin, turned around and said to Li Shishi: "Uncle Shi, are there any legends or bizarre events in Tripping Horse Village. If you want to attract people to play, you have to have at least something appealing!"

"This ......" Li Shishi hesitated for a moment, and soon he frowned, "This is really not much. Although there are a few, I don't know if they can attract attention. ”

"It's okay, what do you say, what will happen depends on the opinion above. Gu Xin said with a smile.

After thinking for a while, Li Shishi said several things about some local gods, and I listened very carefully, but until he finished speaking, I didn't find anything, and I couldn't help but sigh in my heart.

Wen Jing glanced at me, and quickly understood what I was thinking, so she turned to Li Shishi and continued: "Uncle, is there anything else besides these?

At this time, Li Shishi was a little anxious, and hurriedly said: "Don't worry, I'll think about it again." ”

It wasn't until I finished smoking the second cigarette that Li Shishi raised his head and said with a bitter face: "It's really gone, I don't know if a strange thing I saw when I was a child counts." ”

Hearing this, I was shocked in my heart, there was a play.

Wen Jing and Gu Xin nodded hurriedly and motioned for Li Shishi to continue.

This matter is a little long ago, and Li Shishi had just turned ten years old at that time. The children in the mountains have been wild and bold since they were young.

On this day, Li Shishi chased a muntjac all the way north and directly chased to Fujiapo. The muntjac was injured and was caught by a clip, so he didn't run fast, and Li Shishi was young, so he would have caught it if he had been an adult.

The geographical location of Fujiapo is very special, it is surrounded by mountains, there is a basin in the middle, it looks like a huge bowl, and the village is right in the middle of the bowl.

When Li Shishi chased him to the mountain forest south of Fujiapo, it was already noon, and he was running with a dry mouth, but the muntjac did not know where to hide.

But he wasn't too worried, because the marks left by the muntjac and the blood it dripped along the way would tell him where the muntjac was hiding.

Li Shishi took out half a piece of steamed bread from his arms, which was his food for a day.

He took a small bite carefully, tucked it back into his arms, then untied the sheepskin water bag from his waist, poured it into his breath, and prepared to climb up a boulder next to him to rest.

The boulder is very tall, and there are no trees next to it, so if you climb there, you can see everything around you, and of course, it is easy to spot the movement of the muntjac.

Li Shishi had just climbed the boulder and was stunned by the scene below the mountain at a glance.

It turned out that dozens of black balls the size of millstones were suspended in the sky above the village under the mountain. Li Shishi, who was already in the third grade, immediately counted, no more, no less, exactly forty-five!

Li Shishi had never seen such a thing before, and it was still hanging in the air, at first he thought it was a balloon, but soon he didn't think about it again.

Because the balls began to move slowly, he was standing right in the right place to see them.

After a while, the balls were arranged in the air into a strange shape, and the positions of the heights were different, and on the whole, they also formed the shape of a bowl, the low in the middle and the high on the sides, and the balls were also divided into groups, and the shapes of the non-groups were different.

Li Shishi was very different, and counted it carefully, and it turned out to be an arrangement from one to nine, with five balls in the middle, which were arranged in a cross shape, and the others were oblique, rectangular, and so on.

Immediately afterwards, the things lit up almost at the same time, and then went out after a while, but nothing else appeared, and just like that, they lit up and went off nine times, and then suddenly they came together again, and at last there was a flash of white light, and all the spheres disappeared without a trace!

All this made Li Shishi look in his eyes, and he was dumbfounded, he rubbed his eyes vigorously, but the mountain had returned to normal, and nothing happened.

When he got home, he told his father about it, and his father thought it strange, but he didn't pay much attention to the child's words. Two days later, his father took him to visit relatives, and when he passed by Fujiapo, he mentioned it by the way, but the people there said that there was no such thing at all, and said that it was not a stone dazzle.

Seeing that everyone denied it, Li Shishi's father also doubted his son's statement, and after asking a few words, Li Shishi himself finally felt that he might have hallucinated at that time, and in this way, the matter was finally over.

Li Shishi said that if we hadn't asked, he would have almost forgotten about it.

After listening to this, I breathed a sigh of relief in my heart: it turned out that this was the root cause of the collective amnesia of all people in Fujiapo.

In order to confirm my thoughts, I took out a pen and paper and drew two pictures, one is the bowl-shaped structure composed of those spheres described by Li Shishi, and the other is the distribution map of the holes on the stone platform that I have seen in Gonggongyan, which is the so-called Hetuluo Shu!

Li Shishi only glanced at it, nodded again and again, and said that it was the one I painted.

Wen Jing immediately looked at me deeply and remained silent.

Gu Xin, who was on the side, looked at it for a long time, probably confused, and said softly: "Brother, what is this?"

"Nine Palace Diagrams!" I smiled indifferently.
