Volume 8 The Frost of the Skio River Section 10 Botou Ancient Town

Mitsubishi Montero sped by, leaving the twilight Zhongluo in the county seat behind, and from Luoqiu Parting Road, you can go southeast into the Wagu of the twin peaks, and all the way east is the Botou town of Futou.

It is said that Fucheng and Botou together is the name of Futou County, but it is also said that this title is not accurate, located in the north of Futou Niushou Town, originally called Niutou Town, the head of this Niutou and Fucheng together is the name of Futou County, in short, Futou is Fucheng as the core plus another regional name named after the head word together for the name of the county.

If only from the traffic conditions, Futou is stronger than Shuangfeng to a certain extent, and the National Highway 331 traverses from here and passes through the county seat of Futou

Fucheng Town divides the road, 72 kilometers north-east is Liyang City, 55 kilometers south-east is Fengzhou, and 48 kilometers to the east is Dayuan, that is to say, a triangle is formed between Futou and Liyang and Fengzhou, but Liyang, Dayuan and Fengzhou are on the bottom edge of the triangle, and Dayuan is in the middle of the bottom edge of this triangle

The road from Luoqiu to Futou is in good condition, and National Highway 331 has been renovated several times in the past two years, and it has been maintained quite well, becoming the main trunk line of the province.

When the car entered the boundary of Futou it was already half past eight, the sky was not completely dark, from entering the boundary of Futou to Futou County, Fucheng Town, there were still 23 kilometers, according to the current road conditions, the speed of 70 yards, 20 minutes can reach Fucheng.

However, the car slowed down when entering the parking head.

Lu Weimin, who was sitting in the back seat of the car, had a gloomy gaze, as if he wanted to take in all this outside the car window and take it into his mind.

Botou Town is said to be an ancient town for hundreds of years, the three ancient towns of Futou County, Fucheng, Botou, Niushou and Baokou have at least hundreds of years of history, and what is even more rare is that the old streets of the four towns are kept quite intact, of course, this is also a kind of disguised denigration, which means that the development of Futou is seriously backward, so even these ancient towns and old streets are still preserved.

"Desheng let the car into the street, and we went in and took a turn. As soon as Lu Weimin's voice fell, Stevenson had already skillfully played the steering wheel and turned left into an old street with a car stop pole.

The stop bar is probably to stop the truck, and it has little effect on the car, and Mitsubishi slowly drove in.

What surprised Lu Weimin was that the old street of Botou was not like the streets of Shuangfeng's townships, and at night it was dark, and there were no ghosts and shadows, and it looked quite lively.

Not only Lu Weimin, but even He Mingkun and Shi Desheng were quite surprised, seeing the flow of people coming and going on the street, the residents on the street enjoying the cold and drinking tea really suddenly felt that this Futou and Shuangfeng Nantan counties were a little different.

The car entered the old street of the ancient town and marched slowly, and the street lights on the street were already lit up, but it was very dim and far away, and there was only a light on the old street, which was basically paved with bluestone slabs, and it could be seen that there was some history, but the buildings on both sides of the walk still maintained the old momentum.

Lu Weimin noticed a destination for people walking on the street............ River Pier.

The rules of the river wharf are small.

Lu Weimin and the others parked their car at a corner of the river wharf, which still attracted the attention of countless people.

After all, at night, the people who came out here were basically local residents or surrounding farmers, and there were few outsiders and Lu Weimin actually came by car, and it seemed that although this car looked dusty, it was much stronger than ordinary bread jeeps.

Seeing the screen hanging on the spacious pier square, Lu Weimin realized that an open-air movie was being shown here, no wonder so many people came to watch.

A few people saw Lu Weimin and they got out of the car and surrounded them, but there was no hostility, probably just curious about how such a car could drive into the old street.

Lu Weimin saw a man with an open chest and only a cardigan looking up and down with a fan shaking a fan, first smiled, and then took out a pack of cigarettes, Stetson had already taken it, skillfully opened the envelope, and handed it to a few people who came over.

"This big brother, are you showing a movie here?"

"Yes, I see you're from far away, aren't you? What are you doing here?" the man in the cardigan took the cigarette, lit it, took a deep breath, and exhaled the smoke.

"Hehe, we are a regional TV station, and we want to shoot a documentary that reflects the rural landscape of our Fengzhou area, so we have to look around and take pictures, and I heard that the night view of the ancient town here in Botou is very famous, so we took advantage of the evening to come and have a look. "Even Lu Weimin himself admires his quick wit, this lie is simply a face that does not change color and does not beat heartbeat, and the reasons are easy to come by, you can't help but believe it.

"Oh, why didn't you see that machine?" The other two middle-aged men, who were a little younger this year, became excited, and craned their necks to look into the car, probably to see if Lu Weimin had any cameras in their car.

"Hehe, we're here to play the front station, we didn't bring a machine, let's take a look first, determine the filming location, and we have to screen it.

He Mingkun reacted quickly and immediately picked up,

I've heard that your river wharf has a lot of history, how many years has it been?"

"Hey, young man, let me tell you, this river wharf has a long history, if you really want to trace it, you have to go back to the Tang Dynasty, when the Tang Dynasty general Li Guangbi was chasing down the peasant rebels here, and the troops were stationed here, and the grain and straw were all transported by this wharf......""

The old man with a goatee who walked to Zuihou shook his fan, and when he heard He Mingkun ask about this, he immediately became interested, " At the beginning, Yuan Huang was entrenched in the mountainous area, and General Li was ordered to conquest, but Yuan Yang took advantage of the geographical advantages of the mountainous area and frequently attacked General Li's logistics supply line with a small army, which made General Li's conquest repeatedly frustrated.

Lu Weimin and the others didn't expect that if an old man came out here, he could tell you a large historical story, and it was reasonable, colorful, so that his ears could hear it.

"Oh, uncle, didn't this General Li regard this Botou as his blessed land, without Botou as a logistics supply base, his conquest must not have gone so smoothly, right?" Lu Weimin asked with a smile.

"That is, there are several grain hoards from the time of Jiaqing Ye and Daoguang Ye behind our town, just walk back along the river from this wharf, it turned out that there were a lot of this kind of grain hoards, and then most of them were destroyed during the Republic of China, and some were destroyed during the Cultural Revolution, and now there are only a few left, but they can still be seen. The goatee said, "The sunset is shining at night, and the grain hoards are standing there, which has a bit of the flavor of an ancient battlefield." ”

Lu Weimin looked this goatee up and down, and felt that this old man was not as simple as an ordinary resident, but also a cultural person with some culture, "Uncle, you are quite familiar with the history and culture of our side." ”

"Uncle Cui is an old teacher in our town, retired, and now he has nothing to do with research, and he has published articles in newspapers. The strong man in the cardigan next to him said proudly.

"Not worth mentioning, not worth mentioning. "The goatee was so happy to look at the beard that his eyes narrowed," I don't have any hobbies, I love to think about the old things on our side, the history of our Botou can be traced back to the Tang Dynasty, and even farther away from the two Jin Dynasty, the northern immigrants moved south step by step, our Botou is actually a transit station, we are also a mountainous area in the north here, suitable for cover, to avoid the attack of the Hu people in the north, and the south is also a mountainous area, but it is convenient for the billet passage to go south, the central part of the area is fertile land, with water conservancy and transportation, very suitable for reclamation, so it once became a transit hub for the northern scholars to the south after the two Jin Dynasty, and also left a lot of historical monuments。 ”

The old man with the goatee seemed to be very interested when he saw Lu Weimin, and his interest increased greatly, and his mouth was like a river, and he talked endlessly.

"Like our south of the Chongsheng Temple and Chongsheng Tower, although the fame is not as big as the three towers of the Chongsheng Temple in Kunming, Yunnan, but to say that the history is earlier than the three towers of the Chongsheng Temple, it was built in 200 AD, it is several decades earlier than the three towers of the Chongsheng Temple in Yunnan, but it has been repeatedly destroyed in the war and rebuilt, but now the base of the tower that is retained is also in the middle of the Ming Dynasty, and it has a history of more than 500 years, and the part of the upper part of the restoration also has a history of more than 300 years, which was repaired in the early years of Kangxi. 。 ””―”

Lu Weimin and He Mingkun both thought it was funny, they didn't expect to meet a talking basket, they hadn't asked the question on their side, the other party was already out of control, looking like this, they could talk about twelve o'clock tonight.

The men next to him probably had long been accustomed to this habit of the old man surnamed Cui, and listened to the goatee god blowing the sea with a smile, seeing that the movie was about to start, so they reluctantly stopped talking.

Lu Weimin also left Uncle Cui's contact information, and Goatee probably met the first time that the "leader" in the region who attaches so much importance to the history of Botou also happily told Lu Weimin where he lived and how to go, and welcomed Lu Weimin to come to his house as a guest.

After getting into the car, Lu Weimin also sighed a little that these buildings and the old pattern of Zhoutou Ancient Town are well maintained, which is not only a manifestation of lagging economic development, but this is not a kind of luck.

With the industrial revolution came the destruction of historical sites and civilizations, such as in the previous life in Futou several ancient towns in addition to Niushou Town can still survive, in the twenty-one shijie was gradually developed into a major tourist attraction in Futou, the original conditions are more than Niushou Fucheng, Botou and Baokou three ancient towns have been annihilated in the vigorous old city transformation, leaving only a piece of the same cement and steel buildings.
