Chapter 182: Peak Village
Although the master couldn't say this completely, Chen Fei understood it very well in his heart. Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info because he also deeply felt the same as this master at this time, that is, how can this village in front of him be the same as the old rich man's village...... Is it so similar?
The village is small, but it sits neatly on the top of the peak, and at a glance, the whole village is already one with the peak, which makes people feel very comfortable. And the most striking thing is that there is still a towering mountain behind this village, and the houses in the village wind all the way up along the ridge, naturally and with a bit of fairy spirit, like a heavenly palace, and the deputy governor is coming, and he never wants to go back to the city to suffer......
That's right, this is exactly what Chen Fei and his entourage felt when they first went to Laocai Village.
And now, this village located on the top of the Iron Palm Peak also happened to give the group such a beautiful feeling again, which always made people feel a sense of tranquility and belonging for a moment......
......
However, compared to the old wealth village, the village at the top of the Iron Palm Peak is much more dilapidated. Although the abandoned mountain village in Panlong Town is dilapidated enough, but in front of this village, which is a 'broken' place?
When they looked around, they saw that all the houses in the village were made of stone. Now, some of them have collapsed in half, and some of them have fallen into a pile of stones. And the few remaining rooms that have not collapsed are already dilapidated houses in the open air, and it is difficult to hide their vicissitudes.
Although it is dilapidated, the planning of the whole village is orderly, the houses are rowed, the fields are square, and everything is in a regular manner, located in the middle of one of the fingers of this iron palm peak.
From this, it can be seen that when the village was inhabited, life must have been peaceful and healthy......
......
The group first walked around the outside of the village, and then followed the village path to explore the village roughly, and after seeing that there was nothing abnormal, they couldn't help but follow the path to the edge of the mountain.
At this time, everyone was sure that this was the thumb peak of the Iron Palm Peak!
That's right, according to the order of the fingers, the group had previously arranged the five peaks of the Iron Palm Peak in turn, and the names were defaulted. They are the Thumb Peak, Index Finger Peak, Middle Finger Peak, Ring Finger Peak, and Little Finger Peak.
Obviously, these names are also based on the title of the five fingers.
It is well known that this thumb is the shortest of the five fingers and the thickest.
Therefore, at this time, the so-called Thumb Peak must be the relatively low and largest of the five peaks.
Perhaps that's why people choose to build their villages here......
......
At this time, it seems that the rear of the village is close to the index finger peak, and the other three sides are still close to two or three hundred meters away from the edge of the thumb peak. And, perhaps for the sake of safety, the entire circle of the summit of the thumb has more or less traces of stone piles. Perhaps, this is the equivalent of today's roof guardrail.
At this time, when you look down from the edge of this thumb peak, you can first see the chain bridge a few hundred meters down. It was interesting to say that when everyone saw the chain bridge in the morning, it was still floating in mid-air, and it was a few hundred meters above everyone's heads. At this time, the chain bridge was already a few hundred meters below everyone's feet, although it was still floating in mid-air.
And Ye Qiu's eyes were sharp, at this time, he could still vaguely see the three big pits on the opposite hillside. When the others looked at it, they saw only a white patch in the greenery......
......
The group walked around the edge of the Thumb Peak for nearly a circle, but because the sky was very overcast today, the fog was very large, and the clouds were very thick, so as far as the eye could see, the scenery was almost the same, in short, it was difficult to see one, two, three.
The back of the village is blocked by the index finger peak and the middle finger peak, so at this time, everyone can't see the scene on the other side of the mountain.
After walking around enough, the group followed the path again into the village. That's right, since I'm here, I'm going to take a closer look at the village......
......
"Hey, there's nothing in here, and there's nothing to shop about...... Wan San said stupidly as he stood in a house.
Indeed, not only was the house very dilapidated at this time, but it was also so empty that not even the guano could be seen.
But think about it, this person's reason to go to the empty house is not for fun. Moreover, although the village is well planned, a little reflection will show that it must be very poor.
Do you think that the village in this ravine is already poor and backward enough, let alone the village on the top of this big mountain? Ye Qiu remembered reading a report before, saying that the villagers who lived on the top of a certain big mountain had to climb a rope ladder of hundreds of meters to go up and down the mountain for generations, and even children in their teens were no exception to go to and from school.
You say, how backward does this have to be?
Fortunately, the report was later seen by the bigwigs, so the local government was forced to build a handrail iron ladder against the mountain to replace the rope ladder.
Ye Qiu was not a blacksmith or a merchant, and he really didn't know how much silver it would cost to build an iron ladder like that. But just by feeling and pinching his fingers, the iron ladder is probably not worth the money of a few tables of good banquets.
Moreover, if the big man at that time couldn't see the report, this iron ladder would not have been able to replace the rope ladder in the Year of the Monkey. However, for some people, this iron ladder is not as happy as eating a banquet......
......
However, this matter cannot be talked about, because according to the master's recollection, the old rich village, which was also located on the top of the mountain, was very wealthy at that time.
As for whether the village was poor or rich at that time, it is not known at the moment.
However, after some discussion, the group thought that the village should have been completely abandoned fifty or sixty years ago. As for when this village was built, it is difficult to say at this time.
However, at this time, for some reason, the group always felt that the history of this village must be very long, although there was nothing to study archaeology in between......
......
Everyone walked around the village for a while, and saw that there was really not much to see in it, so they ran along the path behind the village towards the index finger peak.
When I looked at it from the bottom of the mountain, the thumb peak and the index finger peak seemed to be tightly connected.
But for now, there must be at least two miles between the two.
So, while walking, the group was actively imagining what would happen on the index finger peak......
