Chapter 184 Tianshu Cliff, Swallow Cave, Hanging Coffin

Li Junge asked Ayin: "The stream under our feet is Dushui Creek, right?"

The semi-curved valley is very quiet and has an echo effect, which is a very peculiar experience.

Ayin's answer was accompanied by an echo, as if speaking through a megaphone: "Well, it's Dushui Creek, this stream was actually called 'Poison Water Creek' at the earliest, and then you thought the name was not good, so you changed it, and it was said that there was a peach blossom miasma in the upper reaches of the village, and there would be poisonous fish floating down the river in April and May every year, and I heard that this water was not drinkable." ”

Li Junge heard this for the first time, and said: "No, Dushui Creek flows into the Wuxi River, and we haven't heard the elders talk about this downstream." ”

Ah Yin said indifferently: "Aren't you the master of the ditch, you can study this matter slowly." ”

Li Junge: "......"

Ah Yin pointed to the end of the zipline and said: "This cliff is called 'Tianshu Cliff', don't you look like a few books on the shelves? ”

The two slowly slipped to the platform of Tianshu Cliff, and Li Junge got down from the stand and walked around on the platform.

The two of them stood beside the railing on the side of the platform and looked into the distance, the foot was a volley cliff, the Dushui River surrounded by hundreds of meters below the cliff, the opposite bank was a slope covered with native trees, and then there were small hills one by one, extending to the edge of the sky, and the edge of the sky was a mountain range, blocking the view and surrounding this area of hills.

It's like being on top of a big steamer, looking at the small green nests in the steamer.

Li Junge said: "The scenery here is really unique, Ayin, you said that if you transform these platforms into flying pavilions, you can come up and stay for two nights if you have nothing to do, and see the sunrise, moonrise, and galaxy, isn't it particularly beautiful?"

Ah Yin rested his elbows on the railing of the platform, and was also fascinated by this magnificent scenery, and said: "Erpi, our hometown is really beautiful! It really shouldn't be so poor!"

After speaking, he tilted his head to look at Li Junge: "But if you really build a flying pavilion to live according to what you said, how can this health problem be solved?"

Li Junge rolled his eyes: "At such a romantic moment, shouldn't we talk about Fengyue and talk about life?" Village Chief, look at your crooked building!"

Ah Yin blushed, leaned on Li Junge, and said, "Well, let's not think about that for now, change our mood and enjoy the scenery." ”

Li Junge took Ayin over, hugged her slender waist, looked at the small fluff on her earlobe, couldn't help but kiss it gently, and said: "Ayin, in my heart, you are the most beautiful scenery." ”

Ah Yin leaned on Li Junge's sturdy chest, closed her eyes to feel her boyfriend's body temperature and heartbeat, and said: "Erpi, I originally returned to my hometown with a lonely mood, but it's good to have you in Lijiagou." ”

The mountain wind of Xi Xi blew, and the two of them listened to the sound of the mountain quietly, and they both felt that their hearts at this moment were completely let go of each other, and such a silent communication was worth a thousand words.

After a while, the two of them collected their moods, looked at each other and smiled, and set off again.

In order to take care of Li Junge, Ah Yin did not pursue speed anymore, and in these places with strange scenery, the two of them slowly went down while enjoying the scenery.

The cliff scene on the right side of this section is even more peculiar, a huge triangular fissure, stretching all the way up from Dushui Creek to one or two hundred meters before disappearing.

It's like two mountain walls diagonally supporting each other, revealing a huge hollow underneath.

From the top down, you can see part of the scene in the cave, only to see the craters on the cliff wall, and in the middle of the place, there are many square long wooden boxes, the size of which can lie down a person.

Some of these wooden boxes were placed together, some were far away, and all of them hung unbelievably on the cliff wall thousands of feet above the ground, and there were one or two hundred of them.

Ah Yin's expression became serious, and he said to Li Junge: "This is the Swallow Cave, every summer, a large number of swallows will gather here, and it is also the place where our ancestors put their tombs. ”

This is the hanging coffin of the Miao people, Li Junge has read a few books, according to the Tang Dynasty Zhang Hu's "Chaoye Zai" said: "Wuxi Man, parents died, in the village outside the pavilion of its corpse for three years, all the production for the coffin, in the Linjiang high mountain half rib to bury it, from the mountain hanging coffin, Mi Gao thought to be the burial...... There is a coffin for the dead, but it is not buried, and it is placed between the caves, and the high ones are thousands of feet away, or near the big river, and they are not covered. ”

Shaking his head and saying: "The life of your Miao people in ancient times was really difficult, and when you exhaust your wealth, you can only build such a coffin." ”

With water vapor in his eyes, Ayin said: "In the ancient song, it is sung that the ancestors were defeated in the war, went all the way to the west, and finally came here. When they died, they were buried with saddles, swords and bows, hats, and bags, with their heads west and feet facing east. For them, death is just the beginning of a new journey, a journey home......"

"The reason why they were not buried was because they believed that one day, their children and grandchildren would take their bones back to their original homeland. ”

Li Junge hugged Ayin's shoulders and comforted: "My heart is at peace in my hometown, and your ancestors are too persistent." ”

Ah Yin lowered his head, put his hands on his chest, whispered softly, and sang: "

The ancestors of the horses and the oxen,

Staggered across the Wuxi River......

The top of the green mountain on the Longtian cliff,

Sit down on our grass nest......

Attracted clear cave water,

Burned out the sunny slope of the manure......

Ploughed out the terraced fields full of mountains,

planted a shiny golden barley barley......

ushered in a newborn baby,

Sent away the old Kava who was decrepit......

Shake the horse in the woods by the mountainside,

Singing under the moon in the open dam......

The top of the green mountain on the Longtian cliff,

Sit down on our grass nest......

The ancestors of the horses and the oxen,

Staggered across the Wuxi River......

……”

The sound is low and euphemistic, looping, surrounding in a hollow with an echo effect, full of a sacred and serene religious charm.

Li Junge remembered that Ayin's ancestors overcame many difficulties and obstacles, and finally settled a new home on the Hanging Sky Cliff, and used his own hands to fight against the harsh natural environment, one after another, and finally found a perfect way to get along with nature, and thus multiplied.

Their tenacity, their persistence, and their wisdom couldn't help but make Li Junge awe-inspired.

After Ah Yin finished singing, he wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes and smiled at Li Junge: "I just sang the "Requiem Song", which is to tell the ancestors that the children and grandchildren are doing well now, and I hope that their souls will rest in peace and stop running around for our survival." ”

Li Junge suddenly felt like a thorn in his back: "Ouch, our zipline won't disturb your ancestors, right?"

Ah Yin smiled slightly, pinched Li Junge's palm, and said, "No ancestor would want his children and grandchildren to suffer and be poor for generations. Now is the best time for us to build this zipline, communicate with the outside world in front of our ancestors, transport goods, and let them see that our village is becoming more and more prosperous. The ancestors will only be happy in their hearts, and some small disturbances, I believe they will also laugh it off. ”

After speaking, he turned his head and shouted to the swallow cave: "Don't worry! With me and Erpi, our hometown will definitely be better!"

Bursts of echoes came, clear and agitated, full of confidence and expectation, as if the ancestors were also responding: "It will definitely be better...... would be better...... Better ......"

Looking at the incomparably confident look on Ayin's delicate little face, Li Junge's heart was full of admiration.

Even himself, even after having a golden finger, sometimes doubts his own ability, after all, it is much more difficult to lead a fellow villager to get rich than to achieve oneself.

But this pure-minded girl never seemed to doubt herself, and she believed that she could use her hands and mind to pull her hometown out of poverty and embark on the road to prosperity.

Such a girl deserves to be respected, cherished, and supported for the rest of her life.

Rake the ears and rake the ears, Lao Tzu rake willingly, whatever you say!

……

All the way down, back to the mid-level forest farm.

After this trip, each other's hearts are much closer, and both of them feel that the trip is worthwhile.

Zhu Chao'an came over to find the two of them, and as soon as Li Junge saw him, he said: "Oh, it's a pity that you don't go up with us, the scenery here is very good, and you can still see the hanging coffins of Ayin's ancestors on the road." ”

Zhu Chaoan hurriedly waved his hand and said, "I don't have the courage of your two parents, by the way, even if this zipline is completed, can I go back to Jiachuan?"

Li Junge said: "Don't, Caitou said that there can be a fishing center in Huluxi, you see this thing......"

Zhu Chaoan begged for mercy again and again: "Brother, I haven't accompanied Xiaomei to sing KTV for a long time, although you have good mountains and rivers and good food here, but you are always missing some modern life!"

At this moment, Li Junge was also greedy, turned his head and said to Ah Yin: "Ah Yin, why don't we go to the city for a walk this weekend? We don't seem to have gone shopping yet! It just so happened that Uncle Pharmacist said that the medicine for Liu Ye was ready, and I sent it to him by the way." Then bring Lin Wangcai and their mother and son back. ”

Ayin smiled and said, "Okay, I haven't been to the county seat for a long time, and I can go to see Ba Po and Sister Qianqian." ”

Zhu Chaoan was very excited, and said: "Hahaha! That's great, I'll arrange it when we get to the county seat, let's make a bowl of chickens first, and then go to KTV to hey him for one night!"

Li Junge looked up at the sky: "I can't even think of what I will sing besides the national anthem and children's songs......"

Zhu Chao'an laughed: "Who cares about you! I know that Ayin sings very well!"

Li Junge was surprised: "How do you know?"

Zhu Chao'an said: "The people in the village said, Erzhun recorded a lot of songs, and then they all sang the best is Ayin!"

Ayin pursed her lips and smiled: "I am also average in pop songs." ”

Li Junge said: "Modesty!

The three of them walked to Uncle Wood's house with a smile, and then greeted Yin's father, telling him that in addition to wood, there were 1,000 catties of glutinous rice that would go down the mountain next, and let him put it away first, and Li Junge would come to drag the glutinous rice again on Monday.
