Chapter 1069: Simplicity
Gu Yiyi looked at the schools of fish swimming freely in the clear and clear stream.
I remembered that one of the fish was a unique stream fish in Jiuqu River, the red-eyed trout, which was called "red-eyed fish" by the locals, with delicate flesh and delicious taste, and secretly made up my mind to eat it for dinner.
Platoon Commander Wang's elder brother was a little introverted, and he held back for a long time before he said: "We are now going down the river from nine songs, passing through eight songs and seven songs...... Until a song. ”
Everyone didn't need his explanation, just boated on the stream, watched, watched, and enjoyed!
The double lion playing ball stone of the nine songs, the elephant trunk rock of the eight songs, the Tianhu Peak of the seven songs, the Tianyou Peak of the six songs, the cloud nest of the five songs, the tea cave, the West Fishing Platform of the four songs, the coffin of the three songs, the Jade Girl Peak of the two songs, the first line of the sky, and the Dawang Peak of the first song, everyone is dazzled, and they are really swimming in the painting!
Especially in the three songs, everyone showed great interest in erecting the coffin.
Because Huo Chengqi had been here before, he gave a rough explanation for everyone: "Hanging coffin burial is an ancient form of funeral. ”
"The burial site is generally chosen on a high cliff facing the river, and the coffin is placed in a natural or artificially excavated cave tens to hundreds of meters above the water, and some are placed directly on a suspended wooden stake. ”
"After research, the coffin of the gully belongs to the ancient Yue culture. The boat is an indispensable utensil in the life of the ancient Yue people, and putting the deceased into the boat-shaped coffin is a sign of respect for the deceased. ”
Out of reverence for the mountains, they placed the deceased closest to the gods, so that they would not be disturbed by the world, so that they could better protect their descendants. ”
When they arrived at the first song, seeing that everyone was still unsatisfied, the elder brother of the Wang platoon waved his hand, so the three bamboo rows rowed back to the nine songs from the first song upstream.
It turned out that Platoon Leader Wang's parents and elder brother were from Xingcun, and Xingcun was located at the end of Jiuqu, so it killed two birds with one stone, which not only made the guests from afar happy, but also allowed the three temporary "boatmen" to return home nearby.
When the bamboo platoon leader was about to land, the elder brother of the platoon leader Wang scratched his head and then mustered up the courage to speak: "Are you going to come to climb the mountain tomorrow? Go to my house at night, not far ahead, quite close to here." ”
"My parents' house, my family and my younger brother's family have cleaned up the empty rooms, my little brother went to the stream to catch redeye fish, and my father also went to the mountains early in the morning to dig fresh bamboo shoots, so that you can taste the mountain delicacies and aquatic products of Wuyi. ”
Zhuang Moxiang originally didn't plan to bother the other party anymore, but when he saw Gu Yiyi's eyes getting brighter and brighter when he heard the red-eyed fish and fresh bamboo shoots, he immediately changed his mind: "But thank you, Brother Wang." ”
"But first of all, we will give you the cost of renting bamboo rafts and the cost of food and lodging. ”
Finding that Platoon Commander Wang's eldest brother wanted to open his mouth and refuse, he immediately blocked all his unspoken words: "You should have heard your brother say that we have regulations that we must not take a stitch from the people." ”
"If you don't take the money, we're making a big mistake......"
Without waiting for Zhuang Moxiang to finish speaking, the eldest brother of the honest man Wang Platoon Commander hurriedly said: "Oh, how can I let you make mistakes, I will collect the money." ”
So, Shao Lietan took over and followed the other two people to row the bamboo row back.
Platoon Leader Wang's eldest brother sat in Zhuang Moxiang's car to guide the way.
Seeing that the car drove into the star village, when it stopped in front of the gate of a house, everyone got out of the car.
Zhuge Minghao grabbed the eldest brother of the platoon leader Wang: "Brother Wang, there are more people here this time, and the amount of food that needs to be prepared is quite large, I will give you the money for the meal first, and prepare more ingredients." ”
Platoon Commander Wang's eldest brother looked at the money stuffed in his hand and opened his eyes: "Where can I use so much money!"
"That's enough money for a week's worth of food, and I agree to take it, but I can't charge more......"
Zhuge Minghao pushed away the hand he was about to return the money: "Take a closer look, I didn't give you food stamps, meat stamps, egg stamps, and sugar stamps, all of which were converted into money." ”
"In addition, this includes the rental fee of three bamboo rafts and the wages of the three of you. ”
"Hurry up and put it away, let others see that it's not good. ”
Platoon Commander Wang's eldest brother found that a few children playing in the village were chasing the jeep and were standing not far away. Fortunately, there were more than a dozen people around him, but they blocked the children's view.
He hurriedly put the money in his trouser pocket, and then tiptoed his hand into the courtyard door that was only up to his shoulder and opened the deadbolt inside: "Please come in!"
He wondered where his parents were, and just then his daughter-in-law came in with his mother, carrying a small bag of rice and a piece of pork weighing about two catties.
His mother and his daughter-in-law had already seen the more than a dozen people standing in the yard, and his daughter-in-law was a little nervous, laughing but not knowing how to say hello.
His mother walked up to Huo Chengqi all of a sudden, and said excitedly: "Comrade, no, you should be called the chief, our family welcomes you very much!"
"Chief, please come into the house, the eldest daughter-in-law will go and make tea, make the best tea in our house. ”
The eldest daughter-in-law answered "eh", took the meat from the old lady's hand, and put it in the kitchen with the bag of rice.
The old lady and her eldest son let everyone into the house and took the teacups from the cupboard.
Gu Yiyi looked at the teacups of three colors, and knew that these were the teacups of the old lady's family, her eldest son's family, and her younger son's family, all of which were taken out to entertain them.
When the eldest daughter-in-law came in with a kettle and a teapot and poured tea for everyone, the old lady personally took the first cup of tea and saluted Huo Chengqi: "The chief drinks tea." ”
Huo Chengqi took the teacup with some embarrassment, and explained with a smile: "Don't call me chief, I'm not a soldier." ”
The old lady was stunned, turned her head and asked his eldest son, "Then who is the chief?"
Platoon Commander Wang and his eldest brother were also puzzled, he didn't know, he hadn't asked.
Everyone had a smile on their faces, and Zhuge Minghao said, "Auntie, we don't have a chief here." I happened to know Platoon Commander Wang's comrades-in-arms, so I bothered him to help borrow a bamboo platoon. ”
Platoon Commander Wang's eldest brother was worried that his mother would make a mistake again: "Mom, you cook first, so many people's meals have to be cooked for a while." ”
"What about my dad and my brother?"
His mother replied, "Your brother went to catch fish, and when he saw them coming, he ran back and told us to prepare more food." ”
"Your dad went up the mountain to dig bamboo shoots. After your little brother caught the redeye fish and sent it back, he went out again, he was afraid that there would not be enough food, so he said that he would catch some loaches again, and your brother and sister went with him. ”
Platoon Leader Wang's eldest brother was a little embarrassed when he heard that there were not enough dishes, so he pulled his mother out of the house and took out the money given by Zhuge Minghao from his trouser pocket.
